Ye Chang's fist at Li Longji was silently pressed, and the matter of Shou'an beating Yang Ji on the street was secretly passed on by people with intentions and became a joke in Chang'an City.

As for the matter of marrying the princess, it is naturally over, even Yang Zhao himself has no face to make such a request to Li Longji again. Li Longji originally had the intention of changing to a princess - obviously it was impossible for Shou'an, but several of his school-age princesses heard this, and one by one threatened to follow the example of Twenty-Nine Niang and beat Yang Ji up.

So the matter was delayed indefinitely, and Li Longji thought that after everyone forgot about it, he would treat it as if there was no such thing.

Chen Xiaoer and Chen Pei are still selling his newspaper, and there is no news of this conflict in the newspaper. Du Fu is still a very affectionate guy, and if the news about Ye Chang is likely to be negative, it will not appear on the "People's Daily".

Ye Chang also lived in a simple house, although he invited many people to his house to discuss matters, and some people took the initiative to visit, which made the flow in front of his house endless. Soon, the hot spots in Chang'an City moved to other places, Li Longji led his huge entourage and started the winter hunt, and the magnates in Beijing, all who could find a way to keep up, followed to Lishan to join in the fun.

Anyway, now take the train to the rutted track, which is fast and stable, and the transportation volume is large.

At this moment, Yuan Chao, a small official from Taizhou, came to Chang'an City.

Yuan Chao, who is in his twenties and is about to be thirty, is a local in Taizhou, and this time he came to Chang'an for official business, but he also had a little selfishness, so he brought his younger brother Yuan Ying with him.

"Brother, as rumored, the rutted track is much easier to use than the original road, as long as the roadbed is put up, even if it rains heavily, it will not delay the trip, and the transportation capacity is sufficient—hey, what's going on over there

Yuan Ying was nearly ten years younger than Yuan Chao, just in her early twenties, with strong blood and a lively temperament, and asked in surprise when she saw a bunch of people in front of her.

Yuan Chao raised his eyes and saw that the banner was covered like a cloud, and the guards were like a forest, densely packed, and he was afraid that there were hundreds of people. He had a thought in his heart, but before he could speak, he heard a person beside him: "This is the Son of Heaven traveling, patrolling the Hot Spring Palace."

The man's accent was not like Guanzhong, but like Jianghuai, Yuan Chao glanced at him, and saw that he was strong and fierce, so Yuan Chao didn't want to talk to him.

But Yuan Ying likes to make friends with Haoxiong, so he saluted the man: "A certain Taizhou Yuan Ying, this brother Yuan Chao, I don't know where your honorable name is?" ”

"A certain Shezhou Fang Qing." The man said lazily after giving the salute, and turned his gaze to the man again.

"That's the Son of Heaven going on patrol?" Yuan Ying asked again.

"Exactly."

"It's really good luck, we came to Chang'an, and we actually met the Son of Heaven on patrol" Yuan Ying shouted: "Brother, let's squeeze in and see the excitement"

As a small official, Yuan Chao naturally has a heart to climb upward, and he can see the face of the Son of Heaven, even if it is only used as a braggart talk, after he goes back, he has something to say.

They looked on a high place, and after a while, they saw the large group of people and horses coming, first to the rutted track station called "Chunmingmen Station", to clear the crowd of onlookers, and then more than 2,000 cavalry guards, lined up on both sides. Then, it was the brigade that got on the rutted train.

Eighteen rutted trains, loaded with royalty, ministers, courtiers, nobles, and their maidservants, began to head east. They only vaguely saw a figure dressed in a dragon robe and wearing a crown of cupola, as for what it looked like, because it was far away and there were knights to cover it, they couldn't see it at all.

I only saw those knights showing off their might, guarding the eighteen rutted trains, slowly starting and then heading east.

"Tsk, the big husband should be like this," Yuan Chao suddenly heard someone say this.

He was taken aback, he could be a small official, how much he had read some books, of course, he knew that this sentence had a famous origin. He looked at the person who said this, but saw that it was Fang Qing who he had just knew.

This Fang Qing didn't know when he also squeezed here, looking at Li Longji's majestic honor guard from afar, he couldn't help but yearn for it, and even spoke wildly. He doesn't know how to learn, just a country ranger, so he doesn't know the Tao of his own, there was once a hooligan named Liu Bang who also said it, and this person later became the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

"Well said, the eldest husband should be like this, Brother Fang, let's go to the army together, join the army to make meritorious contributions in the frontier, and then return to Beijing for the Imperial Forest Army" Yuan Ying didn't have any ink in her stomach, but when Fang Qing saw the majesty of those knights, he also felt envious, and said at the moment.

"Joining the army? Ha Lu Ha, not much interest. Fang Qing shook his head and disagreed: "If you want to be as majestic as them, it's nothing more than money, and if you have money, you can be majestic."

"If you have money, you can be powerful?"

"If I have money, I can put it on and have some people blow it."

"Ha Lu Ha, that's right"

Hearing what the two of them said, Yuan Chao coughed: "Okay, okay, Liulang, we still have to go into the city and prepare to do something."

"It just so happens that I also want to go into the city to do some things, and by the way, I will see this Chang'an City." Fang Qingdao: "Two Brother Yuan, why don't you go together?" ”

Yuan Chao didn't want to entangle with this person more, but Yuan Ying preemptively agreed, he couldn't erase his brother's face, so he could only acquiesce in this matter. When they arrived at the Chunming Gate, they were about to go in, but they saw another team of honor guards coming, and the soldiers at the city gate saw this honor guard, and immediately reprimanded everyone and told them to wait and avoid.

"We'll arrive first, why don't you let us go first" Fang Qingyi raised his eyebrows, a little angry.

"Where did you come from the countryside buns, don't you know the honor guard of the nobles?" The sergeant guarding the door heard his accent and sneered: "The court has been benevolent all these years, and this kind of soil bun in the country can also come to Chang'an City, but when you come to Chang'an, you have to understand the rules of Chang'an, there are nobles over there, you don't let the nobles go first, aren't you waiting to be beaten by the nobles?" ”

Fang Qing was still about to speak, but Yuan Chao stopped him first and shook his head at him. Fang Qing was still unconvinced in his heart, but the face of this newly made friend still had to be given, so he scolded and scolded in a low voice at the moment, and avoided it with the crowd.

However, the guard of honor had just arrived at the door, and before they could enter the door, they saw another guard of honor coming. The guard of honor suddenly stopped, and hurriedly avoided it, allowing the later guard of honor to pass first.

"Poof" Fang Qing couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene, and said in a weird manner: "What a nobleman, what a nobleman, it turns out that he has to avoid it like us."

The sergeant guarding the door heard his words, glared at him, and then lowered his voice and said: "Fool, Hugh is going to die, come here now, but the honor guard of Yang Shangshu's family, Yang Shangshu is about to pay homage to the prime minister, it doesn't matter if you cause trouble, don't bother us."

"Yang Shangshu?"

"Soil buns are soil buns, even Yang Shangshu doesn't know what to do? The brother of the noble concubine Niangniang, the current household department is still the book"

It was the honor guard of the Yang family who came, and it was Yang Zhao's eldest son, Taichangqing Yang Xuan. He felt uncomfortable squeezing on the train of Li Longji and his entourage, so he rushed to the Hot Spring Palace alone with his guard of honor.

He was careful, it had only been a long time since his brother was beaten, so he didn't have any outrageous actions for the surrounding people, but he just wanted to get out of the Chunming Gate. But as soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw more than ten horsemen coming back from outside the city from a distance, and it should be the officials who sent Li Longji out of Chang'an. Although there was no guard of honor, Yang Xuan saw Ye Chang among the more than ten people at a glance, his face immediately changed, and he waved his hand: "Hold the guard of honor, quickly, stop the guard of honor."

He shouldn't have shouted this by himself, but if he didn't shout it at this time, the people behind him might not know what he said. Then he got off the horse and avoided the side, and when Ye Chang entered the city, he also bent down respectfully.

Ye Chang looked at him, stopped his horse, and bowed to him: "It turns out that Tai Changqing, you have not served the Son of Heaven?"

"My little nephew is not used to the train, and he always gets motion sickness, so he will be different."

"Oh, be careful on the road." Ye Chang said lightly.

This Yang Xuan was too respectful in front of him, as if he was the number one trouser in Chang'an City. Hearing his words, Yang Xuan's forehead suddenly sweated, and he saluted again: "Yes, yes"

Ye Chang was too lazy to say more to him, so two sentences were just a cold noise. He led his entourage and entered Chang'an City, and when he walked out of the distance, Yang Xuan dared to straighten his waist and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Today's pass is over, let's go, let's go."

He didn't hide his fear of Ye Chang, and the people next to him laughed. After his guard of honor passed, Fang Qing said in a strange manner: "It turns out that this is Yang Shangshu's family...... Tsk, it's really majestic, but it's even more majestic......"

"Phew" The doorman had already looked at him unpleasantly, and several people immediately surrounded him, and knocked a gun on his head, knocking his strange words back.

"The soil buns in the countryside, do you know who has just passed? That's the deputy head of the Liaodong Marching Army, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedu, and the Duke of Anxi who guards the leaves, and the nobles who are also talented in your way, why don't you clean the streets, and let you be such a cheap person here? It was because Ye Gong broke the leg of Wang Zhun, the son of the Imperial Doctor of Jingjie, in front of this gate, the children of nobles in Chang'an, who is not afraid of being targeted by Ye Gong" The doorman scolded: "I don't know whether to live or die, Ye Gong cut off the head of the Hu on the border gate, there are more heads than you have ever seen, and you dare to be disrespectful to him?" ”

Fang Qing pressed his head and frowned: "Ye Gong...... So young, what kind of Ye Gong is? ”

This guy has never even heard of Ye Chang's name, but he is really a country bun, and Yuan Chao looks down on him a little in his heart.

Unlike Fang Qing, Ye Chang's name can be said to be thunderous to Yuan Chao, and I don't know how many times I have heard of it.

The reason is that Yuan Chao came from Taizhou, at this time Taizhou is also known as Linhai County, facing the sea, shipping is convenient, there are many sea ships to and fro, the thief Wu Lingguang has broken through Taizhou. Yuan Chao had some connections with the rest of Wu Lingguang's troops, and some of Wu Lingguang's subordinates had once mixed into Ye Chang's team to open up Liaodong, but later tried to start a rebellion and were captured and killed by Ye Chang.

What's more, half of Ye Chang's wealth comes from the sea, and he is clear about this.

"This Ye Gong is the living god of wealth, you don't want to talk nonsense, let's go, you can pass, our brother still has official business to do, let's leave." Yuan Chao arched his hand to Fang Qing.

Fang Qing was about to say goodbye when he heard him, but he didn't want to leave, and said after him: "Brother Yuan knows the foundation of this Ye Gong? Why don't you tell me about it, I also want to know what kind of character Lu Dao, even the relatives of the noble concubine are afraid of like a tiger."

"Our brother, I respect this Ye Gong the most, not to mention the fact that he killed Hu in the frontier, what is really admirable is the situation he laid down in Liaodong, and he can also go to sea to find the proud country"

Yuan Chao didn't want to pay attention to this Fang Qing, but his younger brother was a chatter, and felt that Fang Qing had a great appetite for himself, so he pulled him and said: "We came to Chang'an this time, first, to do office work, and second, to see if there is any luck to meet Ye Gong's subordinates, and to find his subordinates to inquire about some things." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?" Fang Qing was still confused.

"Naturally, it is how he manages the way to make money, we Taizhou is close to the sea, and there are many sea ships, if you can get Ye Gong's guidance, you can make a fortune - just like Wang Qinian in Yangzhou, oh, you must not know the ...... of this Wang Qinian."

"Who said that, I don't know what others do, and I don't know Wang Qinian? I am in Yangzhou, and I have personally played football games, how can I not know Lu Dao Wang Qinian" Fang Qing does not know Lu Dao Ye Chang, but knows Lu Dao Wang Qinian: "But I heard that he is not holding football plays now, but digging what gold mountain...... Could it be that he really dug up a mountain of gold? ”

"Naturally, it's true, the ship went out of our Taizhou, and I saw him return full of gold" Yuan Ying boasted: "What I saw with my own eyes is not a lie"

"What does this have to do with Ye Gong?"

"Don't you know that the Ludao football game was created by Ye Gong and used in military training?" Yuan Ying was stunned.

Fang Qing shook his head stupidly: "I don't know." ”

"Let me even more ignore, Wang Qinian is looking for the chart of Jinshan, which was given by Ye Gong?"

"I don't know...... This is impossible, if I know that there is a mountain of gold in the road, how can I give the chart to others and dig it myself."

"So you're stupid" Yuan Ying smiled: "Ye Gong is a great thing, and he is the living god of wealth, a bit of a stone into gold, where can you see one or two gold mountains"

Listening to his younger brother boast about some half-truths and half-truths from hearsay to Fang Qing, Yuan Chao felt a little funny in his heart. Yuan Ying is young, so she still has many fantasies, but Yuan Chao himself knows that it is definitely not easy to get guidance from Ye Chang.

Wang Qinian's so-called matter of obtaining Ye Chang's nautical chart is nine times out of ten false, and most of it is a lie made up by himself in order to avoid being coveted by some powerful people, so as to show that his relationship with Ye Chang is extraordinary. However, he did have some contact with Ye Chang, so when Yuan Gang begged him to come to his side, although he was very embarrassed, he still introduced Ye Chang's next person named Xiao Bailang to Yuan Chao.

However, the relationship between the two is nothing more, Wang Qinian just said that this person stayed in Chang'an City, and if he could get his introduction, he might be able to see Ye Chang. Therefore, if Yuan Chao really wants to achieve the purpose of this trip, he has to see this Xiao Bailang first.

Thinking of the majestic appearance of Ye Chang and his entourage, and even the hottest magnates in Chang'an City who didn't dare to breathe when they saw him, Yuan Chao became more and more unconfident in whether his trip could really achieve its goal.
