Fengdu is the largest market in Luoyang and even the Great Sui world, there are more than 3,000 shops of all kinds, operating hundreds of categories of commodities, bustling every day, the flow of people is like weaving, the north gate of Fengdu is actually a square, there are dozens of large and small liquor shops distributed around the square, as well as inns, green buildings, mansions, mules and horses rental shops and so on.

In addition, since the beginning of the sixth year of the Great Cause, the square has gradually been filled with all kinds of small stalls and vendors, selling all kinds of cheap goods, until nightfall, which is very popular with the people of Luoyang. The government also showed a tolerant attitude, and as long as there were no fights, they also turned a blind eye and allowed this commoner bazaar to take shape.

At dusk, Zhang Xuan came to Fengdu Plaza alone, he liked the atmosphere here, which gave him a feeling of a small commodity market in later generations, and he came here every once in a while to walk around and buy a few gadgets, as if he had returned to the old era.

"Come and buy it! Three generations of Liu's ancestral craftsmanship, put on a good wooden weapon, and buy one for the child. ”

"Jiang Saburo's meat porridge is delicious and authentic!"

"This is jujube nectar, auntie, you smell this fragrance"

Shouts erupted one after another, and Jang Hyun wandered through the stalls, some on mats, some on wooden carts, some with merchants, and some with wooden counters.

At this time, Zhang Xuan heard the voice of an immature girl, "High-grade grassland goods, furs, and medicinal herbs"

As soon as Zhang Xuan turned around, he saw a mat spread in the corner, with more than a dozen sheepskins piled on one side and five or six clay pots on the other side.

Although the market was full of people, no one stopped in front of her stall, and in the midst of the noisy flow of people, her immature voice shouted: "Fine prairie goods, furs, medicinal herbs"

Zhang Xuan slowly stepped forward and squatted down in front of the stall, and the little girl hurriedly smiled: "Childe, buy some!" ”

Zhang Xuan opened the lid of the jar and looked at it, they were all very ordinary grassland medicinal materials, licorice, ephedra and the like, the quality was not bad, and he didn't expect to be able to buy purple insect jade chrysalis here, because he was thinking about Turkic things, and he heard the little girl's cry of selling, which attracted him.

Zhang Xuan looked through a few sheepskins again, the sheepskins were relatively old and rough, obviously low-end goods, "How much is this sheepskin?" ”

"The shop in the market sells a piece for 100 yuan, and I only sell it for 50 yuan, and they are all old sheepskins, which are very warm."

It is indeed sold cheaply, Zhang Xuan has seen it in the market, and the cheapest inferior sheepskin costs a hundred yuan, he smiled a little puzzled and asked: "Little sister, you sell it very cheaply, why?" ”

The little girl said gloomily: "This is the goods that my father bought in the grassland, and it was brought back with the help of my fellow villagers." ”

"Where's your daddy?"

"He died, died in the steppe."

The little girl's tone when she talked about her father was as flat as a glass of white water, as if she had already been numb, but Zhang Xuan's heart trembled, born in troubled times, life is so low, death is death, but let the family taste endless pain.

He sighed in his heart, picked up a sheepskin casually, took out a tael of gold from his bosom and put it on the stall, the little girl waved her hand in fright, "Childe, I can't find it." ”

"No need to look for it!"

Zhang Xuan got up and waved to the little girl with a smile, got up and walked into the crowd, the little girl held a tael of gold tightly in her hand, looked at Zhang Xuan's back, and was grateful and scared in her heart.

At this time, a tall and beautiful young woman wearing a black samurai uniform squatted down in front of the stall, she glanced at the back of Zhang Xuan, who had just disappeared, and asked the little girl with a smile: "I am a friend of Zhang Gongzi just now, what medicine does he want to buy?" ”

．．．．．．．．

Zhang Xuan asked for two mutton cakes at the Hu Cake Stalls at the entrance of the market, he liked the Hu Cakes of the Sui Dynasty very much, the dough was burned brown and soft, and the thick shallot mutton was sandwiched inside, and then smeared with a layer of meat sauce, which was extremely delicious.

As soon as he took a heavy bite, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and he saw more than a dozen riders galloping towards this side, without regard to passers-by, and frightened the pedestrians on the road to cry and call their mothers, stumbling and running to both sides, many stalls placed on the side were also knocked over, and all kinds of goods were ruthlessly trampled by the horses' hooves.

Zhang Xuan suddenly found that he was too far aside, he hurriedly took two steps inside, and the war horse roared past his eyes, and the people on the horse were all burly, with big shoulders and round waists, with knives and arrows, and their arrogant laughter came from the wind, and more than a dozen riders ran towards the gate of Fengdu.

There was a lot of discussion on both sides of the road, and the owner of the cake stall scolded: "It's these dogs again!" ”

"Shopkeeper, who are these bastards?" A big man asked with a heavy snort at the back of the group.

"What else can it be, Yuwen Thirteen Taibao! Without the Taibao, the Eighth Taibao and the Twelfth Taibao, there are now only 10 Taibao. ”

Zhang Xuan had already recognized these people, and there was a vicious battle in the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, and Wang Qingfang, the Twelfth Taibao, was killed, forming a deep bond between them.

The whereabouts of the Eighth Taibao Zhang Xuan are very clear, but why don't you see Yuwen Chengdu? Zhang Xuan asked with a casual smile: "Where is the big Taibao?" ”

An old man next to him said with a smile: "I heard that Yuwen Chengdu has been promoted, and he will be a general under Laihu'er, so I won't mess with these scoundrels." ”

When Zhang Xuan saw that the Yuwen Taibao had entered a wine shop, his heart moved, and he dropped a handful of money and walked quickly to the wine shop.

This wine shop is called Fengbei Wine Shop, the wine shop is medium in size, there is only a four-story restaurant, in Fengdu, where every inch of land is valuable, it is not easy to have a wine shop of this scale, it is said that this wine shop is one of the private properties of Yuwen Shu, and the Yuwen Taibao people come here to drink also proves this.

Since a fierce battle for more than ten days, the Yuwen Taibao have also been restrained by Yuwen Shu and are not allowed to go to the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant again, so they transferred to the Fengbei Restaurant.

As soon as Zhang Xuan walked into the wine shop, a bartender greeted him and said apologetically: "The guest officer is very sorry, there are no seats in the small shop." ”

Zhang Xuan's face sank and said, "Nonsense! There was a big group of people coming in just now, why didn't you say there was no seat? ”

"They have a private room on the third floor, which is different from the average guest."

"I've made an appointment with a group of friends for a drink, and I want to book a private room, do you?"

The bartender scratched his head, "Wait, I'll ask!" ”

The bartender ran back to the counter and asked the shopkeeper, and came back after a while and said, "Childe, there is a private room, but you have to pay a deposit of ten yuan first." ”

"Can I choose any room?"

"If there is no one, you can choose!"

Zhang Xuan made a deposit with a tael of gold, and then went up to the third floor with his buddy, the third floor is in the shape of a 'Hui' shape, about half of the seats have guests, Zhang Xuan soon heard the laughter of the Yuwen Taibao, and heard it very clearly in the corridor.

The laughter seemed to come from the second room in the south, and there were already guests in the next room, so Jang Hyun walked to the other room and asked with a smile, "I like to sit on the side, is there anyone in this room?" ”

"The location of this room is not very good, it is the end, and the room is small, someone has already booked it, but Childe likes it here, I can change other rooms for the guests."

"Then I'll book this one, my friend will come later, bring me a pot of wine first."

"Great! Childe, please wait. The bartender opened the door for him and went downstairs.

The room is indeed not big, the radius is only one zhang, that is, about ten square meters, there is a large couch, in the middle is a large rectangular table, and ten people can sit around.

But Zhang Xuan didn't come to eat, he closed the door and walked quickly to the wall, the wall is made of thin wooden boards, the sound insulation effect is very poor, you can clearly hear the voice next door, Zhang Xuan can't tell who is who, but he can hear that this group of people is the arrogant Yuwen Taibao.

Zhang Xuan is very concerned about Yu Wenshu's situation, after all, his position in the Yan Wangfu is obtained by stepping on Yu Wenshu's shoulder, Yu Wenshu must have begun to pay attention to him Zhang Xuan, he wants to know how Yu Wenshu intends to deal with himself.

"Old Wei, how is the old man's physical condition? Can you still go on the expedition? Someone next door asked angrily.

Zhang Xuan's ears were pricked up, and he didn't want to let go of any sound, which was also his biggest concern.
