The two boxes were not big or heavy, and they must have been important or valuable items escorted by Aguta's personal guards, but why did they send a team of only a dozen people to escort them? The only way to solve the mystery was to open the box, but everyone was curious about what was in the box, but no one dared to move it without being sure how it was.

The royal guards who escorted the treasure chest, buried the body, cleaned up the scene, and the group hit the road again. Qing Yang transformed into a hundred households of the Jin Army, holding gold medals and dealing with the Jurchens, Han Falcon and Xue Hai were responsible for exploring the way, and the remaining four people guarded the treasure chest, and they hurriedly went on the road after dividing the work.

Wearing thirty or forty pounds of iron armor is not a comfortable thing to ride a horse in the scorching sun, the iron armor quickly absorbs a lot of heat, people are covered in it like in a steamer, and when the sweat is clean, it becomes a frying pan, torturing people to exhaustion, even for people who have undergone cruel training is not a comfortable thing. By the time they barely reached Yuzhou, they almost collapsed, but the gold medal was so good that they were soon placed in a separate courtyard in the post house, and brought food, but at this time, no one would have an appetite to plunge into the water tank.

After settling down, Han Falcon went out to the designated place to connect, but soon returned disappointed, the contact point here had also been evacuated, which made everyone nervous, and they had to consider preparing to go it alone and complete the assassination mission independently without backup. After a sleepless night, Erwa decided to rush to Beijing as soon as possible, no longer wasting time looking for a contact point on the way, and everything would be talked about after arriving in Beijing.

It was just dawn the next day. The team set off from the post house and changed out of their heavy armor in a secluded place. Disguise the treasure chest as ordinary cargo and let the deputy horse carry it. On the way, I tried not to stay in the post house, and when I encountered interception, I covered it with a gold medal. Han Falcon did not object to Erwa's approach, he also felt the severity of the situation, disguised and rushed not only to avoid revealing his whereabouts, but also to reach his destination as soon as possible, maybe he had not received the order to evacuate yet, and he could find someone by luck...

The Shangjing of the Jin Kingdom is not in the Shangjing of the Liao Kingdom, but in Ningjiang Prefecture, which was formerly the Tokyo Province of the Liao Kingdom, which is the residence of the Wanyan Department. Ningjiang Prefecture was once the first commercial port for Liao-Jurchen border trade. Haidongqing, Beizhu and many other noble specialties traded here, while the nobles and merchants of the Liao State relied on the status of the suzerainty to sell and sell, and openly called this kind of bullying 'beating Jurchen'!

The bullied Jurchens rose up, and Aguta fought the first great war of his life here, capturing the city of Ningjiang Prefecture, destroying this humiliating city and establishing his own capital near it. After the establishment of the capital, Agudi ordered a large number of Khitans, skilled craftsmen and wealthy people among the Han people to move here. The total number of immigrants is hundreds of thousands, and there are two or three hundred thousand people in the Shangjing area alone.

These immigrants brought advanced culture and production techniques to Shangjing and northern Xinjiang, and the way of life of the Jurchens in the past changed dramatically, and commercial transportation was unprecedentedly developed. And Aguta in order to stabilize the land of the 'Golden Source'. For the benefit of their own fathers and villagers, the implementation of policies such as 'light forced labor, persuasion of crops', and 'rent-free payment' to win the hearts of the people. Improvements in production tools and changes in farming methods over the years. Increase the variety of crops and increase the yield. Grain harvested in one year can be eaten for several years!

With economic development, culture flourishes. With the increase in population, Aguta began to build the capital. The city was built by Lu Yanlun, the Han governor of Shangjing City, imitating the Song and Liao type systems, and the whole city was divided into the south city and the north city. The southern city is the imperial city and the aristocratic residential area; Beicheng, commonly known as the trading city, is a civilian residential area and commercial center, as well as the location of government offices at all levels. After several years of operation, it has begun to take shape, with palaces, academies, temples and other buildings built, and more than a dozen satellite cities have risen outside the city with the main city as the core.

Erwa and his party entered Shangjing and wanted to eat well, but the money on these brothers was squinted by the officers and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty who transferred them, and they couldn't get in touch with their families on the way to get funds, all of which were supported by money from those unlucky Jurchens. After disguise, the second baby wanted to sell a few horses to get some entanglement, but was stopped by the old horse's head, because these horses are all military horses with imprints on their bodies, and they will be caught as soon as they make a move, causing unnecessary trouble.

For economic and security reasons, a few people who were not well placed on hand went into a small town near the main city, crowded into a large cart shop, and lived in several rooms, while leaving their horses in another place, and even if they were discovered, the horses would not find their heads for a while, and the hope of improving their lives could only be pinned on the old horse's head.

Due to the fact that Jin Liao has been inseparable over the years, Sheng Rentang's business with Liao has always been mainly in Zhongjing, Xijing and Nanjing, and only occasionally involves this, and no strongholds have been established, only the intelligence agents installed to collect information. Lao Matou has not set foot in this place for many years, the city has changed a lot, and he can only find the connector through a prior agreement, and on the evening of the same day, Han Falcon found the agreed place, left a code, and waited for the arrival of the connector.

Erwa felt that they couldn't wait stupidly here, they had to do it first, the importance of this mission was very clear to everyone, so even if they couldn't get foreign aid, they had to find ways to complete it, just like the prince said that if there are conditions to do it, if there are no conditions, they must do it, and the living can't let the urine suffocate to death. So the old horse head was left to wait for the connector, and the six of them divided into two groups and followed the crowd into the capital.

In the metropolis where people come and go, the arrival of a few of them did not cause the slightest wave. This Gada used to be vast and sparsely populated, it must be that the land is cheap, this city was designed at the beginning of a large piece of land, the circumference of the city is as long as 22 miles, there are five outer wall city gates, the connecting part between the north and south cities also has the city gate, the north and south streets in the city, the east and west streets are eight each, the streets are neat, criss-crossed, the functional division, the main and secondary are clear.

Erwa led Qingyang and Li Tian to walk in front, Xue Hai, Zhang Kui, and Ba Zhou were all behind, and after entering the city, they separated, each inquired about the news, and agreed to return to the inn before closing the city. They watched as they walked. Handicraft workshops, iron shops, gold and silver shops, car shops, restaurants, tea shops, goulan, and tile houses can be seen everywhere in the city, and the merchants are a hundred cities, the traffic is busy, and they are prosperous, although they are not as good as Bianliang, but the traffic conditions are much better than the Bianliang of the Great Song Dynasty, at least no one occupies the road to operate, resulting in the emperor having to reduce the configuration and reduce the scale of the honor guard.

They didn't enter the southern city in the first place but wandered around in the northern city, not because they didn't want to rush to complete the task, but although the northern city is a market, but there are caravans from all over the world, and the three religions and nine streams are mixed together, and people from all over the world who enter Beijing to do business will linger here, which is the place where the news is concentrated and spreads the fastest, if you want to understand the situation of a city, get some gossip, that is the best place.

From the sunrise in the east to the sun shining on the top of the brain, the three of them only turned less than halfway, and they were already hungry, "Brother Lei, let's find a place to rest, our stomachs are all rebellious!" Li Tian took one step and said in two steps, without Zhang Kui, he would talk a lot.

"Okay, let's find a place to eat!" The second baby looked at the wilted Li Tian and said with a smile.

"Great, there's a small shop over there, I've seen it clean when it passes by, and it's still clean, let's go there!" As soon as he heard that there was some to eat, Li Tian immediately became excited, and pointed to a restaurant behind him and said.

"Not good!" Erwa shook her head and said.

"Where to go, anyway, don't think about a bowl of meat porridge today, two scones to send me!" Li Tian's face immediately drooped, in order to save money these days, eating is very simple.

"Hehe, let's go up to the restaurant in front, you can eat as much as you want!" Erwa pointed to a restaurant on the street in front of her and said.

"Oh, you won't trick me, don't we have enough money, won't we just get a pot of water and sit there for a long time!" Li Tian looked at the restaurant and looked at Erwa suspiciously, and said with a sneer, tea is a luxury in this place, and it is not enough for a pot of tea according to the consumption amount in the past few days, and he doesn't believe that Erwa will bleed hemorrhage.

"Whatever!" Erwa ignored him anymore and pulled Qingyang to walk, and Li Tian hesitated and followed.

Although the restaurant in front of me is not as exquisite as the Central Plains, it also has a certain scale, there are seventy or eighty scattered seats downstairs, and the three of them chose a table by the window to sit down. Now, with the continuous invasion of the Jurchen state, and soon possessed a large area of land in the Liao State, it also brought some dietary changes, but because of the abundance of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, and many rivers, meat and aquatic products still occupy the main position.

A few people ordered, and without exception, it was some meat, and the big plate was served, and a few people listened to the people at the next table while eating. Because there is no Confucian 'food and sleep' here, and they are not bound by those rules, and they are not informal, they like to be lively, and they are not as happy as everyone is happy, so they are all very bold, talking loudly, and they don't need to listen to it at all, just know what they say!

Now that the Yanjing War has just ended, their topic naturally revolves around the emperor's personal conquest, these people are not shy about talking about the emperor, talking about the emperor is like talking about their neighbors, some trivial matters that seem ordinary to them, but they are all rare information in the ears of Erwa and them.

"Qingyang, ask where they bought their things!" The conversation of the people at the table next to him attracted the attention of the second child, and on their table was a pair of crystal clear bracelets, and a Jurchen was boasting that he had spent a lot of money to buy it, and was about to take the money to buy some Korean perfumes, which made his eyes light up...
