0283 Mid-Autumn Festival Oiran Race
When they hit the road again, Chi You and Qin Qiong had already become one, but for the mercenary team, they didn't have a good feeling. After all, in the previous living environment, Chiyou had seen too many mercenary teams join forces with horse thieves to rob caravans for their own survival.
So in the face of the mercenary captain greeting him, there was no response, this is Chiyou's character.
In this very delicate situation, the crescent caravan came to the border city of the Great Han, Sunset City.
There are no too troublesome procedures, paying money, inspecting goods, checking cars, and entering the city.
Without any hesitation, Bai Qianye asked Qin Qiong to quickly arrange the sale of the goods, and at the same time settled the commission of the mercenary team.
The captain of the mercenary was always flushed, because he knew very well that his team had done nothing in this dart, and that it was all the force of the crescent caravan protecting themselves.
With a very fast speed and a very fair price, the three boxes of weapons and equipment were sold, and then the establishment was reduced to cover the eyes and ears of the people as much as possible. Everyone was in Bai Qianye's room, looking at Bai Qianye, waiting for him to make arrangements.
"I, Chi You, Qin Qiong, Ye Ji, Ji Xingkong, Mei Niang, the six of us form a team, and go to Chang'an with the gimmick of play, Yiyi, Xi Tong, Ye Tong, the three of you have been around us, but we must hide our figures and don't let too many people pay attention to us. ”
"The others went to Chang'an City as fast as they could, and joined the Hidden Dragon Commando, Sister Xingchan led the team, you can help Sha Feng check the layout, and try not to make any mistakes. ”
There were many customs in the Han Empire, especially the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. Under normal circumstances, the more commercially developed the empire, the less important the festival is, after all, for the operation of the business model, basically every festival will be marketed on a large scale, so the festival is not too important for the people.
But for the underdeveloped empire of commerce, every festival, especially the important festival, there will be a very solemn ceremony. The Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important festival. This festival signifies the beginning of the autumn harvest and signifies a great harvest of grain for an empire.
"Zhang Liang, there is an Oiran competition in Daming Lake today, let's go and see it together."
Hearing the voice, an emaciated figure turned around and shook his head lightly, "Forget it, this kind of competition of Oiran is compared to the gold coins of the gold owner, which one behind the gold owner is strong, which one will naturally win the first prize." ”
"Besides, there are only a few gold owners in Chang'an City, and they fight with each other every year, and there is nothing rare. ”
"This year is different," the young man in the back continued, "This year, Diao Chan from the Taishi Mansion can join the competition. ”
"Diao Chan?" Zhang Liang raised his eyebrows, "Is it Lu Bu's childhood sweetheart who is rumored to be a genius in the Taishi Mansion?"
"What? You don't know yet? Lu Bu has already left the Taishi
It's a house, I heard that I went to Daqin to join that Bai Qianye, so Diao Chan doesn't have any marriage contract on him now. ”
"In addition, Diao Chan is different from other Oiran, so God knows what Dong Taishi wants to do this time, and it is rumored that the eldest prince seems to have some interest in Diao Chan. ”
Zhang Liang smiled and nodded, "It's not surprising, I've seen Diao Chan girl twice before, and she is indeed stunning, at least in my cognition, there is no girl who can compare to her." ”
"How about it? Why don't we go and see this celestial beauty?"
Seeing that everyone else was in high spirits, Zhang Liang thought for a while, and it was not easy to sweep everyone's interest, so he nodded, "Okay, then let's go and take a look, I just don't know the writing and singing skills of Diao Chan girl, and how about dancing? After all, in addition to appearance, talent is also very important in the Oiran Competition." ”
Just when Zhang Liang and the others arrived at the shore of Daming Lake, the big posters of all the contestants of the Oiran Contest had been posted in a very eye-catching place, and all the wealthy families had already occupied a very good position, even the representatives of the royal family, His Royal Highness the Great Prince, had already arrived.
As soon as the eldest prince Liu Bang saw Zhang Liang, he raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Zhang Liang, why don't you come to my side? ”
Zhang Liang looked at Xiao He, who had been smiling beside Liu Bang, and saw the indifferent and threatening gaze in Xiao He's eyes, and immediately shook his head gently, "Not this time, if you have the opportunity next time, you will have a good time with His Royal Highness, this time it can be regarded as coming with friends, and you can't leave out your friends." ”
Liu Bang didn't care very much, and nodded when he heard the words, not too insisting, "Okay, then have some fun today, the annual Oiran, especially the Diao Chan, you must take a good look, after all, the Diao Chan doesn't appear every year." ”
Zhang Liang smiled, glanced at Xiao He lightly, and turned away.
Xiao He maintained a graceful smile from beginning to end, but what he thought in his heart was not something that others could guess.
"Yo, I'm not mistaken, I actually saw Brother Zhang Liang here", an emaciated figure walked over, not very old, but the gaze in his eyes was full of light, which made Zhang Liang look sideways.
"Who are you?" Zhang Liang carefully looked at the person who spoke, and then at the female companion beside him, and really couldn't remember where he had seen it.
"Brother Zhang Liang is really a noble person, how forgetful", the young man smiled, "We are Qin Shaohua of the Qin family in the southernmost frontier, this is my cousin Han Baolin." ”
"Brother Zhang Liang has never forgotten that we met during the royal hunt two years ago, but I was too young at the time, and Brother Zhang Liang should have forgotten me. ”
Zhang Liang was slightly stunned, and his mind was quickly thinking about the Qin family in the southernmost part of the Han Dynasty, but in addition to knowing that there was such a small family
, and the rest is not remembered at all.
"Oh, oh, it's you, why did the young man come to Chang'an City?"
"Don't mention it", Qin Shaohua sighed, "I was originally a side branch of the family, and I had the opportunity to participate in the royal hunt two years ago, which was originally an accident, who knows why I had my name in a daze, and I am a side branch of the side branch, and the brothers and sisters in the family have always been worried about me being able to participate in the royal hunt, so I have not had a good time in the past two years." ”
"Fortunately, I'm smarter, and my mother's side has funded the tuition a little, so I came to Chang'an City with my cousin and entered the Royal Academy, wanting to learn some martial arts and the way to govern the world, hoping to make a name for myself in the future, and go back to honor my parents." ”
