It is said that the area of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty was 84 square kilometers.

It is said that there were 108 fang cities in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty.

It is said that the population of Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty was as high as one million, which was more than the population of Luoyang, the eastern capital......

However, Yang Shouwen has not seen all this!

Shattered Leaf City imitates the pattern of Chang'an City, with a permanent population of about 150,000 and a total of 36 squares, which is definitely the largest town in the west.

Yang Shouwen and the three of them entered the city smoothly and did not suffer any difficulties.

After all, Shattered Leaf City is a commercial city that relies heavily on merchants from the past. Even though a large-scale rebellion had just occurred, it still ensured normal access to the city. It's just that after entering the city, you can clearly feel the depression in the city. There were quite a few pedestrians on the street, but compared to the scene of merchants gathered in the book, it was much more deserted. Along the way, Yang Shouwen could even see stumps in the ditches on the side of the road.

"Master, where are we going?"

Feng Changqing also got off the horse and followed Yang Shouwen's side.

He grabbed Yang Shouwen's sleeve tightly with one hand while looking around nervously.

His little face was a little pale, apparently because he had just seen a broken arm in the ditch on the side of the road. Yang Shouwen smiled slightly, reached out and rubbed his head, then took his hand and walked slowly forward along the street.

"Dare to ask the donor, how to get to the Qing City of Broken Leaf City?"

Yang Shouwen stopped a Hu man and asked about the path with a smile.

He spoke Turkic, and the Hu man was stunned, and immediately pressed one hand on his chest to return the salute, and then pointed in the direction behind him.

"The elder walked along the road, turned left after passing three markets, and the fourth market was Daqing City."

After speaking. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The elder is a foreigner, and Broken Leaf City has been a little turbulent in the past two days. It's best to find accommodation before dark and don't come out again at night. Otherwise, you're likely to get into trouble. ”

In the hands of this Hu man, there is a string of Buddhist beads, obviously a Buddhist.

Yang Shouwen hurriedly thanked him. Then say goodbye to him.

After turmoil, there will be chaos...... Shattered Leaf City itself is a mixed place, and when a rebellion just broke out, it was inevitable that the rats would run rampant. It's okay to talk about during the day, but at night, it's easy for something to happen.

In this regard, Yang Shouwen was mentally prepared.

Daqing City is the bazaar of Broken Leaf City, and its nature is similar to the three cities of Luoyang and the two cities of Chang'an.

It is named after the Great Clear Pond, which is not far from Shattered Leaf City. Compared to the bazaars of Luoyang and Chang'an, it is purer and larger.

In the city of Daqing, there are many shops.

As soon as you enter the bazaar, you can see flags fluttering.

The pattern on the flag varies from store to store.

It's just that this should be a bustling bazaar is deserted at the moment.

Even on the ground, there were some traces of blood...... Obviously. The rebellion a few days ago has also spread here.

Yang Shouwen walked slowly along the street. After walking for about a quarter of an hour, he suddenly stopped.

In front of him, there was a porcelain workshop, on which the word Maitreya was written.

"Wujing, take the ugly slave to wait for me here."

"Yes!"

Yang Sixteen said and took the reins from Yang Shouwen's hand. Then he took Feng Changqing to find a shady place next to the store and sit down.

It's already in May and it's hot.

Yang Shouwen saw that the two of them were seated, then turned around and walked into the porcelain workshop.

"Elder, just say what you like, our porcelain here. All are shipped from Middle-earth and are of excellent quality. ”

The guy in the store greeted him with a very enthusiastic attitude.

Yang Shouwen said with a smile: "Donor, the poor monk came from the east soil, passing by here, and saw that the porcelain here is exquisite, so I want to choose a few pieces to worship my Buddha, I don't know if the donor has any introduction?" ”

The guy was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, but he heard someone in the room: "Little Liu, go get busy, I'll entertain this elder." ”

Out of the room, a man in his thirties came out, and he was quite handsome.

"Where are the elders going from Middle-earth?"

"The poor monk came from Longmen Mountain and traveled west to visit Lushena."

When the man heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

"If you want to worship Lushena, you need to give real gold."

"The poor monk has nine catties and nine taels of gold, which can cast a golden body for the Buddha."

"Amitabha!"

The man smiled and said sideways, "The elder said that he wanted to buy porcelain to worship the Buddha, please come with me." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the inner room, and Yang Shouwen hurriedly followed.

That's right, this porcelain workshop is exactly one of the contact points set up by Xiaoluantai in Shattered Leaf City. The previous conversation was also Xiao Luantai's code words. After Yang Shouwen followed the man into the inner room, the other party first invited him to sit down, and then brought him cold wine.

"Dare to ask the donor, the high surname?"

"The villain's name is Li Ke, and he is a native of Changlong, Mianzhou.

Twenty years ago, I came to the Western Regions with my father and settled here. The messenger is here, and I don't know what he commands. ”

Yang Shouwen took a sip of wine and glanced outside the house.

Li Kedao: "Rest assured, although Pang Huanlong is a Turkic species, he has followed my family for three generations and is considered his own person. ”

"Very good!"

Yang Shouwen opened his mouth with a smile on his face.

"Bother him to watch from the outside, and by the way, let him bring some water to my two apprentices."

"Wait a moment, messenger, please."

After Li Ke finished speaking, he hurried out.

After a while, he returned to the house and closed the door with his hand.

"I came to Anxi on order this time to inquire about Yan Zhi's whereabouts."

"Yan Messenger?" Li Ke was stunned and said softly: "I haven't seen him for a long time...... The last time I saw him was in August last year. He then said that he was going to meet a man in Kuron City, and he was never heard from again. I always thought he had gone back. ”

Kulun City is the seat of Luona Prefecture (羁縻州), which is under the jurisdiction of the high attached capital governor.

It was a vassal place, and geographically it should be considered within the territory of Tochar.

Yang Shouwen frowned, and said softly: "What did he do when he went to ignore the city?" ”

"This, the villain is not clear...... However, before the Yan envoy left, he said a word to the villain: The Da Wei people plotted to Tocharo, and the surname Zhaowu Jiu seemed to be a little shaken. He went to Kuron City to find people, and it was said that there was very important news. ”

"Do you know who he went to?"

immediately scratched his head and said with a wry smile: "Yan Jun is the person in charge of the Mengchi Metropolitan Protectorate, and his secret agents have always been in one-way contact with him. Although the villain is the person in charge of this Broken Leaf City, he must also obey his command. There are many things that he doesn't say, and it is impossible for the villain to know...... By the way, when Yan Jun left, he said that if he had an accident, let me try to light three bonfires on the Qianquan Ridge in the snow-capped mountains on the fifteenth day of every month......"

"Have you lit it?"

"If it weren't for the messenger coming, the villain wouldn't even know that Yan Jun had an accident, so naturally he wouldn't have ignited it."

Yang Shouwen frowned when he heard this.

Counting the days, today is only the third day of the fifth month, and there are still 12 days before the 15th.

If he wanted to get in touch with Yan Weaving's spies, he would have to wait twelve days, but it was a bit troublesome......

Wait, or don't wait?

Yang Shouwen was a little hesitant.

However, this is not something that needs to be decided immediately, so there is no rush.

When I arrived in Shattered Leaf City, I got in touch with the secret agents of Xiaoluantai, and I was also in touch with the Shendu. Yang Shouwen was not in a hurry, so after pondering for a while, he asked again: "When I entered the city just now, I heard that what led to the rebellion?" (To be continued.) )
