The east and west markets of Chang'an are located in the southeast and northwest of the imperial city respectively. In order to meet the needs of the royal family and dignitaries, the city mainly operates high-class luxury goods, and the people do not patronize much, which seems to be deserted. The surrounding squares of the West Market are mostly inhabited by ordinary people, and the commodities they deal in are mostly clothes, candles, cakes, medicines and other daily necessities, as well as many exotic and exotic objects, also known as the "gold market", because of its rich variety of goods, attracting ordinary people and eunuchs and nobles to walk here.

In addition to the Han merchants, there were also many Hu merchants from the Western Regions such as Persia and Dashi, as well as from Silla, Wa, Tianzhu, and Tubo. These exotic merchants brought spices, ginseng, medicines, blankets, and other goods, and bought back Han goods such as jewelry, silk fabrics, and porcelain from Chang'an to make huge profits.

There are many shops set up by the Hu people in the West Market, such as jewelry stores, warehouses, liquor stores, etc. The liquor shop opened by the Hu people is a major attraction near the West Market, where young women from Hudi often perform songs and dances, and the exotic orchids and dances attract many frivolous teenagers.

Yang Xi, who had come with the purpose of searching for what he needed, visited the eastern and western cities, and he was also amazed at how prosperous the markets were during the Tang Dynasty, and the indifferent attitude of the people of Chang'an to the impending danger during the war. He also believes that if he, a traverser, hadn't come out of nowhere and stubbornly blocked An Lushan's rebels under Tongguan City, Chang'an would have been in chaos today, with chickens flying and dogs jumping, and the people were busy fleeing.

Looking at the two cities that are still lively, Yang Xi spontaneously felt a sense of achievement.

Yang Xi also wanted to have a good time visiting the east and west markets, as well as the street scene of Chang'an, and the orchid restaurant near the west market also wanted to go and sit, but because he was worried about something, he still held back, and wanted to go back as soon as he found what he needed.

He planned to return to Tongguan this evening, taking advantage of the cool weather at night to hurry away, so as not to be overwhelmed by the hot weather during the day.

The main raw material for making telescopes is glass, but now glass is a rare thing, and it is not possible to search for the two cities, but the crystal with similar light transmittance to glass is an ordinary item, and there are many sold in the West Market, and there are many good colors. Anyway, the telescopes that can be made now cannot be very sophisticated, and the transparent crystal can basically meet the requirements. Yang Xi selected a lot according to his own requirements, and asked the store to polish it into a certain curvature according to his needs. It takes time to polish it to a certain curvature, and he didn't have the leisure to wait in the West Market, so Yang Zheng took a few people to wait.

After shopping around for a while and selecting some of the things needed to make utensils, Yang Xi was also ready to go home first.

Yang Xi was very happy to buy what he needed in the West Market, and he believed that as long as the crystal was polished according to his instructions, he could assemble a telescope that could be used. With binoculars, it is much more convenient to observe the enemy's situation and command the battle.

Yang Xi was in a very good mood when he walked back.

It rained before going out today, it wasn't heavy, it just got wet, but there was no standing water on the street. The clouds in the sky did not completely disperse, the white clouds in the sky covered the sun, and there was a lot of wind blowing, which made people feel quite comfortable.

In such weather, it should be nice to go outside and have fun.

But he is also a little regretful, the weather is very good, the West Market is very lively, if he is an idler, he will definitely have a good time here today, those fresh items that will not be seen in the future generations can be seen well, and the Orchid Wine Shop near the West Market also goes in to sit and see what the dance of the Hu women is like. There are many orchid restaurants on the edge of the West Market, and many young and beautiful Hu Ren women can stand at the door to solicit customers.

He is now a marshal of soldiers and horses entrusted by the imperial court, and there are many things to deal with, and the romantic matter of the wind and snow is not something to think about now.

Yang Xi, accompanied by several entourages, walked out of the east gate of the West Market. But just as he walked out of the fangmen and walked along the wide, straight street outside the east gate, about to go to the place where the horses were tethered, a carriage galloped from the south of the fangmen, and the middle-aged man who drove the car shook his whip desperately, shouting loudly, asking the pedestrians in front to give way to him.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xi couldn't help frowning, but he didn't want to make trouble, so he leaned over to the side of the street and let the carriage pass.

Looking at the luxury of the decoration of this carriage, Yang Xi could tell which big man in the court must be the car.

In any era, there are always people who like to put up a position and walk sideways on the street, Yang Xi despised the owner of this carriage in his heart, but he also ignored it and continued to go to the place where he stored his horses not far away.

However, before Yang Xi walked to the place where the horses were kept, something unexpected happened on the street.

The fast-moving carriage just now hit several pedestrians who didn't have time to dodge.

A man who was quite old and dressed in a very simple way was hit by a fast-moving carriage and fell out for a while, and fell to the ground groaning in pain. A child about ten years old, looking like the grandson of the old man who was hit, was frightened and cried, and hurried over to help the old man who couldn't get up, and the things that the grandparents and grandchildren were carrying were scattered all over the ground.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xi stopped, his thick eyebrows furrowed.

Several of the guards who were following him also stopped and looked at Yang Xi at a loss.

The carriage stopped, but surprisingly, the man did not go over to apologize to the old man who had been hit, but jumped out of the carriage and cursed him, blaming the old man and the boy for not being blind, blocking the carriage's path, and misleading him.

The old man and the child who had fallen to the ground knew that they were in trouble, and did not dare to say a word, but fell to the ground tremblingly, and looked in horror at the man who was driving the car with a horsewhip in his hand and standing beside them shouting and scolding.

Soon there were many passers-by watching the excitement on the side.

Yang Dong, who was beside Yang Xi, had already seen who was driving the carriage, and whispered to Yang Xi who wanted to go over, and reminded Yang Xi who wanted to go over to see something. It's just that Yang Xi ignored it and motioned for a few people around him to go over with him.

Although he was in a hurry to go back today, he couldn't ignore such a thing.

Just when Yang Xi hadn't walked to the place where the accident occurred, a crisp questioning voice came from the place of the accident, "Hey, why are you so domineering, you hit people, not only don't help people up, but also curse people here!" At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can you be so rude? Why don't you help the old man up and see if he has been bruised! If you hit someone, you have to accompany the old man to see the injury, and you have to compensate them!"

Looking over from where the voice came from, Yang Xi saw a tall young woman, glaring angrily at the man driving the car, and asking loudly. And the two entourages who seemed to be the woman had already stepped forward to help the man who hit the ground up.
