Cheng Gongzi turned his head and saw a young man, standing in the shadow of the city tower, waving to himself.

"Aren't you standing in the sun?" The young man frowned.

Cheng Gongzi ignored him, and walked down on his own, and the young man hurried to keep up with him, and continued:

"Okay, I know, don't you just think that you can see more clearly from the city wall if you look south......" The young man smiled with a smile.

"Gesang, do you want me to help you give a copy to His Royal Highness the Emperor and transfer you back to the capital." Cheng Gongzi said lightly.

"Huh, huh! Don't don't, don't! Gesang immediately rushed to Cheng Gongzi and blocked his way, "Cheng Gongzi, Master Yuan, you can let me go this time!" You know that...... I'm a straightforward person. ”

Cheng Gongzi's real name is Yuan Cheng, the ancestor is a distant relative of the Tuoba royal family, and he is also a member of the Xianbei tribe, and his family came to Dai to join the clan, and the emperor of Dai took care of the old feelings and gave him the official position of the house.

However, going back to the source, back then, the separation of the Yuancheng family and the Tuoba royal family was not pleasant, so, or in order to show his status, he removed the original surname and gave the Han surname "Yuan", so he has today's name.

When Yuan Cheng was a child, he was separated from his family and lived in the Central Plains, he could speak pure Chinese, and the people were friendly to the Central Plains people.

Spring planting and autumn harvest, all parts of Hu Realm, just past the harvest season, and now, it is just the time for Hu merchants to gather and transport good things from various countries to Dai country.

Shi Ziqi not only likes Han culture, but is also very interested in the artifacts of the Central Plains, so this time, Yuan Cheng was ordered by Shi Ziqi to come to Shaling from the capital to help him pick out some novelties.

Shaling, is the southernmost town of Dai, is the largest place of commerce and trade in Dai, and Gesang, who speaks to Yuancheng, is the head of Shaling City, which is responsible for the city's foreign trade, and is also responsible for receiving Yuancheng's local officials.

In the face of Gesang's "begging for mercy", Yuan Cheng frowned, and after glancing at him coldly, he bypassed him and went directly down the city tower.

Actually, it's not the first time that Yuan Cheng has said this kind of thing to scare him, this time last year, Yuan Cheng came once, and the person who received him was also Gesang.

After getting along before, at the last parting time, Yuan Cheng felt that Gesang was capable and could do things, so he sincerely proposed that he want to recommend him to the capital as an official, but Gesang refused.

Gesang was a few years older than Yuan Cheng, a typical Xianbei person, with wheat-colored skin, strong body, hospitality, and sincerity, or for this reason, he became friends with many Hu merchants who came to Dai Kingdom.

Last time, with the help of Gesang, Yuan Cheng selected the best goods in the post house in advance before the goods began to be sold, saving time and effort in one trip, and he also saw Gesang's talent because of this.

However, Gesang did not have the intention of becoming an official, at the beginning, he would become the head of Shaling City, also because, his parents were also Hu Shang, he grew up with the caravan, because he didn't like to run around, just after he became an adult, he stayed in his parents' hometown - Daiguo.

Since Gesang was a child, he watched his parents deal with business travelers of various ethnic groups and officials from various countries, and he chose to stay in Shaling City, which has the most business travelers in Dai Kingdom.

Although he didn't inherit his father's business, Gesang thought that for the business travelers who were still on the road, so that they could enjoy the best reception when they arrived in Daiguo, Yuan Cheng knew the reason, and said that he understood very much, and never mentioned this matter again.

Last time, Yuan Cheng went to Shaling, and after putting down his bags, Gesang offered to take him around, asking him where he wanted to go, Yuan Cheng said, he wanted to take a look at the city wall.

When the two arrived at the city tower, Yuan Cheng didn't say anything, just looked into the distance with a solemn face.

Gesang likes to be lively, and if he is silent for too long, he will feel uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to provoke the topic and began to introduce those countries other than Dai to Yuancheng.

"Over there is the Di people, over there is the Qi people, and then in front of the Xiongnu ......"

Yuan Cheng has the deep facial features of Hu Ren, clear outline, but he is white-skinned, and his body is not strong, coupled with his temperament, he is said to be a Xianbei person, but it is always a little different.

At that time, Gesang didn't know about Yuancheng's past, just because there were many people in contact, he faintly felt that Yuancheng had a Central Plains man, all the unique humility of a man.

"Actually, the place of the Xiongnu is already considered the Central Plains, and I went there ......once when I was very young," Gesang added deliberately, "However, because he lost the war to the Xiongnu, he moved to a place further south, and the country name seems to be Yu ......."

After Gesang finished speaking, his face showed regret, and he licked his mouth, and he didn't remember much about the others, but his tongue didn't seem to have forgotten it, and the taste of food in the Central Plains was not bad.

Yuan Cheng still had thin lips closed, his eyes gradually became cold, his face did not change, and he couldn't see his emotions, but the hands on his side had unconsciously clenched into fists.

"Gesang, you know what? In fact, the word 'Yu' refers to its original capital, Luojing, and now the capital has been moved, but it is still called by this name......" After a long time, Yuan Cheng suddenly spoke.

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Cheng snorted coldly, the laughter was not loud, but the city wall was empty and silent, and Gesang still shook his shoulders slightly because of this.

Gesang thought that Yuan Cheng's smile was a contempt for the Central Plains regime, and after that, he no longer mentioned the matter of the Central Plains in front of him.

However, the next day, after finishing his work at the post house, in the evening, Yuan Cheng went up to the city tower again, still faintly like yesterday, facing the direction of the south, looking into the distance.

This time, with a day's experience of getting along, Gesang also found that this envoy is a little boring, likes to be alone, doesn't like to talk, and doesn't like to talk about his own things.

Therefore, this time Gesang learned to be obedient, Yuan Cheng stood on the city wall to bask in the sun, he rested in the city tower, and later, Yuan Cheng became familiar with the soldiers guarding the door, so he didn't need Gesang to take it.

And today is the same, Yuan Cheng went to the city tower by himself, Gesang was in the post house, and talked a few more words to his business travel friends, and when it was time to return to the official mansion, he came here directly to find him.

As for why Gesang suddenly said one for Yuan Cheng, the reason why he frequently went to the city was because last time, he was puzzled by Yuan Cheng's behavior, so after Yuan Cheng left, he asked a friend in the capital to inquire, only to know that Yuan Cheng had been adopted by the Central Plains for more than ten years.

Although Gesang doesn't know what Yuan Cheng has experienced, but looking at his age, it is estimated that most of his days are spent in the Central Plains, compared to Daiguo, the so-called Dayu is more like his hometown......

Therefore, the chuckle before should be a bitter smile, and it should be more self-deprecating and helpless than looking down on it.

Gesang came into contact with caravans from various countries, and there was no right or wrong way to act, but among them, Gesang's least favorite was the merchants from the Central Plains, just because they were like Yuan Cheng and didn't speak directly.

Moreover, I saw it in Gesang, the first time we met was accidental, and the second time was fate, so when I saw Yuan Cheng again this year, I treated him very enthusiastically, and his speech became casual.

It's just that he didn't expect that Yuan Cheng's brain turned too fast and grasped his weakness very accurately.

"Cheng Gongzi, I just heard in the post house that in the past two days, there will be a big caravan entering the city, coming from the west, let's go back early today to rest, there is still busy." Gesang followed Gencheng's steps, and his tone became a lot more formal.

"Got it......" Gencheng nodded.

However, the two of them had just gotten off the city tower on their front feet, and the investigation on Yi Xue's side was almost over, she entered the city with the team, and couldn't help but stop looking at the crowd coming and going......
