The Chinese New Year's Eve of the fourteenth year of Zhenguan has just passed, the bright fireworks, the pungent smell of gunsmoke released by burning has not even dissipated, and the entire Chang'an City is still immersed in the laughter and laughter of the end of the year and the beginning of the year.

Because the traders in the East and West Markets are not willing to do business during the New Year, in a year's time, it is not easy to come across such a time to take a break in the bright light, who wants to go to work for a few more days, anyway, there are more opportunities to make money in the future, and there is no need to rush in such a few days!

Therefore, the shops in the East and West Cities, except for those song visits and restaurants, have all chosen to close temporarily, and they will generally open again on the sixth or eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and not only in Chang'an City, but also in several other cities, including Luoyang, Dengzhou and even the distant Ryukyu Islands, have formed this practice.

However, this year, Chang'an City broke this convention, and on the third day of the Lunar New Year, all the shops in Chang'an City opened again, and then began to be intensely busy.

Because this year, His Majesty the Emperor took turns to take military leave for the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty guards, and each guard would have 5,000 people to rest within three days, and as for their schedule after resting, it was nothing more than to take a turn in the main cities of various places and have a good time.

And it just so happened that there were the most guards around Chang'an City, so the shops in Chang'an City opened on the third day of the Lunar New Year, in order to actively respond to the call of His Majesty the Emperor and entertain these soldiers who had taken military leave.

Before the end of the day, the eastern and western urban areas of Chang'an City had already become lively.

Today, Li Yuanba has rarely become idle, he took a few soldiers of the Shenwu Guard, wearing civilian clothes to walk in the western market, listening to the people's shouting and noisy sounds, which feels quite novel.

There are many people in the West Market, and it naturally seems to be lively. The sound of friends talking and laughing loudly with each other, the shouting and shouting of the food vendors, and the sound of acquaintances greeting each other when they meet...... It filled the entire West Market, and among these voices, the loudest was undoubtedly the discussion of Oceania, North and South America, and the marriage of the three princesses.

"Lao Liu, why are you here so early today?"

There is a shop selling meat buns and spicy soup diagonally opposite the Pifu Pavilion in the West Market, and at this moment, the middle-aged dealer wearing Hu clothes and a belly pocket around his waist is chattering to an old man who is close to his sixtieth birthday.

"Yo. Boss Jia, the old rules! Lao Liu took the opportunity to sit on a side seat and said to the middle-aged peddler: "By the way, my old man is happy today, and the steamed buns and spicy soup on these tables are all counted in my Lao Liu's account!" ”

When Lao Liu was talking, Li Yuanba led three soldiers of the Shenwu Guard to sit in this stall, and when he heard the old man's words, Li Yuanba couldn't help but feel a little strange.

But soon someone cleared his mind.

"Lao Liu. Have you made a windfall? Boss Jia sighed and shouted strangely.

"Yes, Lao Liu! Didn't you just invite us old brothers a few days ago? Why do you want to invite me again? ”

The middle-aged man sitting at another table, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, muttered: "If you want to invite, I will also invite, our kid just made a big deal a few days ago." I want to ask you for anything today! ”

"Alright, alright, this is our boy back. Isn't my old man happy, what are you doing with me? Lao Liu directly took out a silver horn from his pocket and said, "Boss Jia, give it to you, don't count the rest!" ”

"Your boy is back? That's a great event! I'm going to have to ask you for it! Boss Jia paused for a moment, but this time he took the silver horn without the slightest hesitation, and said, "San'er, give all the guests at the table, and send two more side dishes!" ”

"Got it, Dad!" A young man who looked a little thin quickly found a few small plates and served them to each table.

"Hey, Boss Xie Jia, Big Brother Liu (uncle)!"

The diners on the stall are all old diners, and they know a lot about Lao Liu, so when they heard Lao Liu say this, almost all the diners thanked Lao Liu and showed a kind smile.

But they know that Li Yuanba doesn't know what's going on?

"Dare to ask this old man, where is Ling Lang?" Li Yuanba's question was somewhat abrupt, but she was very curious.

Hearing the question, Lao Liu turned his head to look at Li Yuanba and them, and saw that although these people were all wearing ordinary people's clothes, they had a kind of temperament on their bodies, how to say it? It's about the same as his son's temperament.

"This Lang Jun is invited!" Lao Liu put down the chopsticks in his hand, arched his hand to Li Yuanba, and said: "Little Lao'er's son is named Liu Zhongping, and he is deceived to love His Royal Highness King Wu, and he is on an errand in Shenwuwei!" ”

"Oh!" Li Yuanba suddenly realized and said, "It turns out to be the military master in the Shenwu Guard!" By the way, I heard that yesterday a team of Shenwu Guard cavalry returned to Chang'an, saying that His Royal Highness King Wu was sent to explore Oceania and the generals of the South and North American battle fleets, I don't know if it is or not? ”

This is no secret, after all, yesterday Li Shimin led the civil and military ministers of the court to greet the thirty cavalry in front of the city gate with great fanfare, and the people of the entire Chang'an City knew about it.

"So that this Langjun knows, listening to what the little old man's son said, it is indeed true!"

Lao Liu suddenly came to his senses, and he continued: "Speaking of which, this thing is really interesting! My son said that the time from the discovery of Oceania to the discovery of North America took more than a month, almost two months. And there are people living in that realm, but they are far from what we look like, and they are self-contained in their speech......

Li Yuanba sat at the table, eating steamed buns and drinking spicy soup, while listening to Lao Liu talk about North America over there.

When people get older, they care a lot more about their children, and they have the heart to show off, after all, their children are promising, and they are the pride of the elderly, right?

"Pedal Pedal Pedal T

Just when Li Yuanba led a few soldiers of the Shenwu Guard to eat about the same, the sound of horses' hooves came from the direction of Xishi, and then he saw several soldiers coming on horseback.

At this time, there were already a lot of people in the West Market, and these soldiers came on horseback, and they didn't know how to hide from those people, which naturally made the pedestrians and traders on the street extremely angry. (To be continued.) )
