Chapter 21 The King of Qi Returns to the Dynasty

The wind blows Xiao Xiao's robe, and the moon shines like frost on the clothes.

On the official road, a caravan slowly traveled westward, and the direction of going was where Chang'an City was located.

As the aftermath of LΓΌ Bu's capture of Luoyang subsided, although Hangu Pass was still in the middle of the war, cutting off the passage between the eastern and western parts of the country, but in the Chang'an area, after Li Shimin sat on the throne, he still saw that the calm was restored, and the pedestrians were still in an endless stream, among which many merchants could be seen traveling between Shu and Guanzhong.

Although there is war and chaos today, life still has to be passed, and Li Shimin does have a set of management in terms of people's livelihood, and he manages the three continents under Li Valve's jurisdiction in an orderly manner, and gradually has a bit of prosperity.

As soon as the first month passes, the weather gradually warms up, the tea shop business outside Chang'an City is gradually lively, most of the merchants who come and go from the south to the north, although the weather is not hot now, but all the way to come here, will also be thirsty, especially after seeing the tea shop, it is inevitable to speak with relish.

During a long journey, being able to stop for a bowl of herbal tea is a rare treat for these ordinary foot merchants.

A footman wiped the sweat from his head, came to the tea shop and sat down, put down the goods he was carrying, and said, "Boss, come to a bowl of herbal tea, I want a big bowl." ”

He has a very loud voice, but there are many tea customers around, but no one has any unpleasant reactions, and it is normal for most of the men in the northwest to be heroic and louder.

It's just that after the businessman sat down, he unexpectedly found that there was a group of very strange people in the tea shop today, and many years of experience in traveling north and south made him keenly aware of the difference between these people.

More than a dozen men sat down around, faintly, protecting one of the tables, and did not speak, just drank the tea in the bowl, but kept paying attention to the movements around him, occasionally sweeping him with a glance, and the sharp eyes made the foot merchant shiver in this warm weather.

The five people sitting around in the middle are not ordinary people at first glance, the two women, although they cover their faces with veils, but their slender posture makes people feel that these two women are definitely rare beauties even if they don't see their faces, and the other three men, although their appearances are ordinary, they all have a daunting power in their eyes.

Many of the tea guests around them looked at this group of people, and the lips of the five people trembled, obviously saying something, but no sound came out.

"Martial arts master" a thought sounded in his heart, the foot businessman has traveled north and south for many years, and he is not annoyed by his knowledge, although he can't know the meaning of this, but he also knows that only those unfathomable masters of internal strength can do this.

But he was only slightly surprised, martial arts masters, for these people, is out of reach, but this place is under the jurisdiction of Chang'an, and you can see a lot of masters who come and go on weekdays, he only paid a little attention, and under the fierce gaze of the guard-like person, he looked away, and talked with other businessmen all over the world.

"Okay, let's go to Chang'an, the four of us are enough, and you take someone to be responsible for picking up outside." An eight-foot-tall middle-aged man said to the scribe beside him who revealed an elegant temperament, this group of people is Lu Bu and his party who came to open Yang Gong's treasure house, the two women are Zhu Yuyan and Wan Wan, and the other old man is Lu Miaozi in disguise, there are two big beauties sitting here, and it is impossible to attract attention.

"Lord Wang, be careful all the way." Xu Xingzhi nodded, and then said: "Chang'an also has a natural dwelling distribution, but Li Valve is very strict with our army, Chang'an only has a hundred or so dead soldiers scattered everywhere lurking, and the minister has already sent someone to inform them, and someone will come to contact them at that time." ”

Lu Bu has developed to the point where it is now, and among the major forces in the world, there are dead soldiers lurking in it, but Lu Bu and Li Valve are full of fire, so it is extremely difficult for Chang'an City to infiltrate.

"Brother Zhang, you made a lot of money this time, right?" At that moment, a footman said to the previous footmerchant.

"It's okay, it's easy to enter Shuzhong, but the goods there are shipped out, but you can make a lot of money, but unfortunately, now the war in Hanguguan is raging, otherwise, if this batch of goods is transported to the Central Plains, it will definitely be able to earn this amount." The merchant, surnamed Zhang, stretched out five fingers and shook them in front of the others as ostentatiously.

"Who said no, but, I guess, this battle is almost over, and now that His Majesty has gradually stabilized his position, King Qi should also bow his head, and when the time comes, it is time to withdraw his troops." Another footman laughed.

Lu Bu and Xu Xingzhi's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, they didn't expect Li Shimin to move so fast, it's only been a few months? Li Shimin has already taken back all the power in various places, which is not a good thing, especially now that they are alone in the hinterland of Li Tang, when the time comes, it is inevitable that there will be a big war, if Li Shimin has collected all the rights, then he will be able to concentrate all his strength against himself, it seems that the treasure in the treasure house of Yang Gong is not so easy to take.

"Don't worry, there is another passage in Yang Gong's treasure house leading to the outside of the city, and Li Shimin may not be able to discover us." Lu Miaozi looked at Lu Bu with an indifferent expression, he naturally knew what Lu Bu was worried about, in the treasure house of Yang Gong, the amount of treasure was extremely rich, even if Lu Bu was brave enough to cover the world, but it was impossible for one person to transport so many treasures away, once Li Tang's people found out and obstructed it, things would not be so easy to do.

Lu Bu nodded silently, but he was thinking about his own thoughts, this place is less than a hundred miles away from Luoyang, and for a master like them, it can be reached in half an hour.

"Without further ado, let's go." Lu Bu nodded slowly, while Li Yuanji had not bowed to Li Shimin now, he was still stationed at Hangu Pass, they picked up the treasure and successfully transported it back, if Li Yuanji's army returned to the dynasty, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji joined forces, it would be a little troublesome.

Li Shimin now has the power and food in his hands, and the only one who is sent is the army, and now the guard army in Chang'an is only 50,000, and there is more than enough defense, but if you want to go out of the city to fight, it is already very good to send one or two thousand men and horses.

But if you add the 150,000 army in Li Yuanji's hands, then the result will be different, with Lu Bu's cultivation now, among the 150,000 army, he can come and go freely, but if you add the people and horses who escort the financial report, he is not sure.

It's not that it's uncertain, it's impossible

"Boom"

Before Lu Bu could get up, the rumbling sound in the distance gradually rose.

"Hey, why is there thunder on this sunny day?" The previous foot merchant surnamed Zhang couldn't help but look up at the sky, the blue sky was like a wash, and there were no clouds, why was there thunder in this kind of weather?

Unlike them, when Lu Bu and the others heard this voice, their faces couldn't help but change, and several of them were not idle people, and they could clearly distinguish that this was not thunder, but the sound of horses' hooves, and it was the sound of many horses' hooves, and Lu Bu could even tell from the tremors and sounds on the ground that this cavalry was at least more than 10,000 people

In the distance, billowing dust rises on the horizon, and then a large flag gradually rises from the horizon and leaps into people's eyes.

It was a delicate banner, and on the banner, there was a big Qi character written on it, and a single flag could make people feel the murderous atmosphere in it.

Behind the banner, there are all cavalry, these cavalry are riding, all of them are high-quality war horses, if according to the price of Pegasus Ranch sold to the outside world, at least more than 100 gold

Looking at the knights on the horse, even with Lu Bu's pickiness, he can't find any fault with this cavalry, not to mention the strict military appearance and the sophisticated equipment, the momentum exuded by these knights alone is enough to make many people daunted, although it is not as elite as the blood wolf cavalry, but among the cavalry under Lu Bu, only the blood wolf cavalry is stronger than this cavalry, and the other cavalry formations are inferior to this cavalry.

There are only two thousand blood wolf cavalry, and this cavalry, but this cavalry, at a glance, is boundless, not to mention there are twenty or thirty thousand horses, this is the foundation of the Li family, not to mention, the Li family also has the Xuanjia cavalry under Li Shimin.

Looking at the falling leaves and knowing the autumn, although the cavalry in front of him is only a part of the Li family, it also makes Lu Bu deeply understand the heritage of the Li family, no wonder the Li family can sweep the world in history, whether it is Li Mi or Du Fuwei or even Wang Shichong and Dugu Valve, they cannot be compared with the Li family.

The financial strength of the Chai family and the strength of the Li family have created today's Li Tang, which is still because of Lu Bu's birth, otherwise, the Li family may be even stronger.

"Qi? Could it be that His Royal Highness the King of Qi has returned to the court" A merchant on foot looked at the incomparable cavalry, his heart swayed, and his eyes lit up at this majestic cavalry.

"Yes, this is indeed the banner of His Royal Highness King Qi, I was fortunate enough to see it once" An older merchant had a little pride on his face, as if he was the King of Qi.

"Li Yuanji?" Lu Bu looked at the Qizi banner, and a deep murderous intent flashed in his eyes, this Li Yuanji does have some skills, if it weren't for Li Valve's civil strife, I'm afraid that Shan Xiongxin would never be as easy as he is now in Hangu Pass.

"It seems that we have thought a little simpler about the plan of this trip," Lu Bu said in a deep voice.

"King Yu, what should we do now? This Yang Gong's treasure trove ......" Zhu Yuyan looked at Lu Bu, a flash of worry flashed in her eyes, she was afraid that Lu Bu would back down.

"We have all come here, naturally we have to take out the treasure, the plan remains the same, even if Li Yuanji comes back, I am afraid that some problems will not be solved in a while, we will leave for Chang'an immediately" Lu Bu said in a deep voice.
