Chapter 1 Return to the capital

A month later, Yang Yuanqing took several of his subordinates back to Xijing City, which had been absent for five years, looking at the majestic city wall in the distance, the familiar breath came to his face, Yang Yuanqing's heart suddenly became nervous.

"General, let's go!"

The fat fish urged, he didn't feel nervous at all, he was now anxious to cash out one hundred and fifty good horses, so that he could make a windfall, he was twenty-three years old this year, long past the age of marrying a wife, he was already a little impatient.

Behind them were a large herd of war horses, fifty of which were sold to the Su family yesterday, and now there are a total of one hundred and fifty-five good horses, with strong limbs and uniform and smooth coats, all of which are excellent Turkic horses, and they have hired more than a dozen horsemen in Lingzhou to take care of them all the way.

Changsun Sheng went directly to Renshou Palace in Qizhou, it is said that Emperor Yang Jian was seriously ill, Yang Yuanqing's grandfather Yang Su was also there, Changsun Sheng wanted to persuade Yang Yuanqing to go with him, but Yang Yuanqing was concerned about his aunt and Niuniu, and he couldn't rest assured that his subordinates drove more than 200 good war horses to walk in the pass, which was not an easy task anyway.

They were accompanied by a deacon of the Su family, who was warmly welcomed by the Su family when they passed through Xianyang yesterday, and Su Lie's father, Su Yongdang, even if he bought fifty good horses, ordered an old family member in the house who was familiar with the horse selling market to accompany them into Beijing.

Everyone called the old family Fifth Uncle Su, Yang Yuanqing and everyone also called him Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle Su saw that the fat fish was anxious, so he smiled and said: "Brother Yu don't worry, from here it is Yanping Gate, not far from Yanping Gate is Liren City, horses can be sold in the horse shop in Liren City, very quickly, it doesn't take much time." ”

Yang Yuanqing turned around and saw that Wei Chiwan was a little depressed, so he slowed down his horse speed and paralleled her, and said with a smile: "Your capital of more than 300 hangs is about to become 2,000 hangs, you can buy land and buy a house for your parents, you should be happy." ”

Wei Chiwan sighed lowly, she was worried that after returning to her hometown, the person who was married to her would not give up, and came to pester her again, to be honest, if it wasn't for visiting her parents, she wouldn't go back at all, but she didn't want to talk about it.

Yang Yuanqing saw that she seemed to have something unspeakable, so he stopped asking her and smiled at everyone: "Let's go into the city!" ”

A group of people and horses appeared at the gate of Yanping, and the soldiers had already discovered them, and a few people were fine, but there were more than 100 horses behind, which made the soldiers guarding the gate nervous and closed the city gate one after another.

"Stop! Who is it? An officer stopped them in their way and asked sharply.

Yang Yuanqing took out a gold medal and held it high in front of the officer, this is Changsun Sheng's envoy gold medal, which can be passed in any state and county in the world, the officer was in awe, and immediately turned around and waved his hand, "Open the door and let go!" ”

The city gate opened, and Yang Yuanqing slowly walked into Daxing City with several subordinates and hundreds of horses.

As soon as you enter the city gate, the noisy and lively atmosphere will come to your face, pedestrians come and go, endlessly, compared with five years ago, people dress up significantly different, five years is to wear cloth and silk more, wear silk and satin less, now but the other way around, wear silk more, and wear cloth clothes less, even the women riding on the donkey wear the hat also fell with pearls, with white satin as the quality, quite ostentatious.

Yanpingmen is close to Liren City, and you can also see merchants from all over the world on the street, Sogdians wearing curly-brimmed hats, Turks and Tiele people wearing tight-fitting clothes, small Goryeo and Silla people, and Japanese people who have just appeared in the past two years.

But whether it is a local capital person, or a merchant from overseas, everyone is well-dressed and radiant, in contrast, several of them are dark-skinned, shabby clothes, their clothes and armor have been beaten by wind and rain, sun and rain, the color has faded, and there are blood stains in the cracks of the clothes, no wonder the soldiers defending the city look at them with a little disdain.

The status of the border army in the Sui Dynasty is not high, many of them are criminals and exiled to the border army, in the world's exchanges, I heard that the other party is the border army, first of all, they will look down on it, if it is not for Yang Yuanqing has the gold medal of Changsun Sheng, they can't even enter the city gate.

"You go to Liren City to sell horses first, I'll go home and make arrangements, and we'll meet at the door of Wubenfang later."

Yang Yuanqing explained a few words to everyone, and then said to Fifth Uncle Su: "Everything depends on Fifth Uncle." ”

Fifth Uncle Su smiled, "It's okay, I'll arrange everything, just go, I'll take everyone to the main workshop later." ”

"Lao Kang!"

Yang Yuanqing smiled again and specially told Kangbas, "You have a treat tonight, don't be stingy like Dali City?" ”

Combass smiled, "I'm inviting everyone to the Orchid Shop!" ”

Everyone broke up at the gate of the city, Uncle Su took everyone to Liren City to sell horses, Yang Yuanqing turned the horse's head to Wubenfang, Yang Yuanqing's war horse was captured from Datou five years ago, it was a very majestic Dawan horse, although his clothes and armor were coarse, but the war horse attracted a lot of people's attention all the way, as well as his sky-breaking lance, which was also extraordinary, he specially sewed a leather bag and wrapped the lance head, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

Yang Yuanqing didn't go to Yang's mansion, at this time Yang Su was in Renshou Palace, not in the capital, so he didn't want to go back, but went to find his aunt and Niuniu, that was his relatives, their house was also in Wubenfang, about a few streets away from Yang's mansion.

After leaving home for five years, Yang Yuanqing went home again, very excited and nervous, everything in the workshop has not changed, Zhang Wuye, who sells sugar porridge, is still carrying a yellowed bamboo camel, sitting in front of the door to greet business, his appearance has not changed, but his beard has become a lot whiter, and a few wrinkles have been added to his forehead.

Yang Yuanqing's appearance has changed a lot, especially when he grows taller and becomes burly, Zhang Wuye didn't recognize him at once, he looked at it for a long time, and suddenly recognized it, "You are.... Yuanqing! ”

Yang Yuanqing arched his hand and smiled: "Fifth Master Zhang, I haven't seen you for five years, how are you doing?" Did Saburo marry a wife and start a family? ”

San Lang is the son of Zhang Wuye, three years older than Yang Yuanqing, and often played together when he was a child, Zhang Wuye smiled and said: "I am in good health, San Lang also got married the year before last, and gave me a grandson, Yuanqing, where have you been in the past few years?" ”

"I'm going to join the army, Fifth Master Zhang, I'll go first, I'll come and visit you when I have time."

"Hey, go slowly!"

Zhang Wuye remembered the scene when Yuan Qing was three years old, when he took Niuniu to buy sugar porridge with a piece of money, more than ten years have passed, this child has grown so tall and strong, and he has gone to the army, and he is good in the army! There's a chance to make it.

At this time, Zhang Wuye suddenly remembered something, and his face changed, not good!

.........

Yang Yuanqing's heart was pounding with nervousness, seeing that he was going to see his aunt and Niuniu, he imagined the situation when he saw his aunt, and his aunt would definitely hold him in his arms, crying loudly, complaining that he had not written home for a few years, I don't know how many white hairs she had, Yang Yuanqing's nose was slightly sour, he had no mother since he was a child, and his aunt was his mother.

He thought of Niuniu again, she must have grown taller, more standard, and she should be as beautiful as a hibiscus flower, and he didn't know if she was married, Yang Yuanqing was uneasy in his heart.

Seeing the leafy old apricot tree from a distance, Yang Yuanqing's heart was hot, and he accelerated his horse speed and ran towards the alley.

But the closer he got to the house, the more he felt bad, he actually felt a death-like silence, when his home appeared in front of him, Yang Yuanqing was stunned, there were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, the roof beams that were burned to charcoal, and the house collapsed, only half of the wall was not fallen, but the wall was smoked black, and the wild grass in the yard and room had grown to the height of one person, and it had been abandoned for at least three or four years.

Yang Yuanqing stared blankly at everything in front of him, he couldn't believe what he saw, his home was obviously destroyed by a fire, and the next door didn't burn, but they were the only ones who burned down, what about the aunt? What about Niu Niu? Where have they gone?

Suddenly, he turned the horse's head, whipped the war horse violently, bit his lip and ran towards the Yang Mansion, anger burning in his chest, the Yang Mansion promised to take care of his aunt and Niuniu for him, is this their care?
