Chapter 52: The Strangeness of Shuozhou

Di Renjie looked at it while walking, the border area, the customs and customs are diverse, and the style of the shops along the street is also different from that of the Central Plains, but the more he looks, the more suspicious Di Renjie's face becomes!

Li Yuanfang noticed that Di Renjie was wrong, and asked softly, "My lord, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I can't say why, I always feel that the streets of Shuozhou are a little weird, but I can't think of anything wrong!" Di Renjie thought about it and said!

"Hey! What did I think? Adults don't know, I used to be a guerrilla general in Gannan Province when I often went in and out of this kind of border place, because of the diversity of races here, so the customs are also very complicated, naturally this bazaar is also very different from our Central Plains Shendu area! Li Yuanfang said!

"I know this, I think when I had peaceful exchanges with neighboring tribes in the Great Zhou, people of different nationalities moved around frequently, exchanged ideas, and even had many interracial marriages!" Di Renjie said with emotion!

"Yes, a few years ago, there were few wars on the border, and the surrounding neighboring countries or tribes all admired the prestige of our Celestial Empire, and they all thought that it was a supreme honor to be able to use the things of our Celestial Empire, so our silk, gold and silverware, and ironware were very popular in these areas!" Li Yuanfang said with a smile!

"Wait, Yuan Fang, what did you just say?" Di Renjie suddenly asked with a tight face!

"I said that the silk, gold, silver, and iron of our Celestial Empire are very popular!" Li Yuanfang was puzzled!

"That's right! Right! It's iron! Di Renjie said suddenly!

"What are you talking about, sir? What ironware? Li Yuanfang is even more confused!

"Look at the streets, is there something missing?" Di Renjie pointed to the street and asked!

Everyone looked around and didn't find anything abnormal!

"Master, I think it's normal, huh? There are all kinds of clothes worn by ordinary people, and other trading shops are no different from Shendu or our hometown? Di Chun said innocently!

"Yuan Fang's words just now reminded me, didn't you notice that there is no iron seller on this street?" Di Renjie explained!

Hearing Di Renjie say this, everyone looked around the entire street again, and really didn't find a shop selling ironware!

"My lord, really! If you don't say it, we really haven't noticed! Chang Ping looked around and said!

"My lord, it's not strange that there are no iron sellers, right? After all, we've just finished fighting the Turkic rebels! It's normal for the people's business to be affected by some influences! Li Yuanfang thought for a moment and said!

"There is some truth in what you said, but you also said that iron tools are very popular commodities in border cities, and if there is a war, then swords and soldiers will naturally not be sold on the street, so what about farm tools? When it's time for the common people to farm, they can't do without it, right? Also, whether it is the Tang newspaper we received or the report from the state government, haven't we heard that the Turkic rebels have attacked Shuozhou? At most, it is to attack the villages that are a certain distance away from Shuozhou City! Di Renjie asked rhetorically!

"Oh! Yeah! What the adults say is reasonable! Li Yuanfang nodded and said!

"Also, when we first entered the city, the soldiers guarding the city strictly checked the passers-by, and it looked like they were checking the spies of the enemy country, but you see, there are not a few people of different races in this Shuozhou City, so I don't think the inspection of those guards is aimed at people of other races!" Di Renjie continued!

"Huh? So why do they scrutinize those who enter the city so strictly? Li Yuanfang asked in surprise!

"I think they might be looking for us!" Di Renjie said leisurely!

Shuozhou Thorn Mansion, Shuozhou Thorn Shi Feng Zhijing is like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and turning, looking out of the door, as if waiting for someone!

After a while, a figure trotted all the way and hurried over!

"My lord! My lord! "The people who came shouted while running, it was Sima Jiangchong of Shuozhou who came!

"Jiang Chong, how is it? Did you hear about it? Assassin Shi Feng Zhijing asked anxiously!

"Back to my lord, I inquired!" Jiang Chong gasped and said!

"Tell me about it!" Feng Zhijing's eyes showed endless anticipation!

"A few days ago, Qin Cha Di Renjie was indeed in Yizhou, and he had a classmate who was the staff of Han Ruilin, the assassin of Yizhou, and the exact news that he heard through him, Han Ruilin, the assassin of Yizhou, and Song Zucheng, the commander of Pucheng County, made the wrong case, and was almost taken off by Di Renjie!" Jiang Chong said!

"What do I care about him, Han Ruilin and Song Zucheng? You say it quickly, and then what? Where did Di Renjie go? Feng Zhijing became more and more anxious!

"This? I only heard that Di Renjie had left Pucheng County two days ago, and the direction should be Ben Yi Shui, he passed Yi Shui, and in less than half a day, he should be able to reach our Shuozhou boundary! After Jiang Chong finished speaking, he lowered his head with some guilt!

"Oh, what's the difference between your news and not finding out, I'm overjoyed!" Feng Zhijing complained!

"What do we do now, my lord?" Jiang Chong asked!

"I estimate that Di Renjie will arrive soon, and even I feel that he is already in Shuozhou City, you are like this, you ask the guards who guarded the city yesterday and today one by one, and see if you find any suspicious people, this Di Renjie is used to the trick of private interviews, let's not be tricked by him!" Feng Zhijing said with some indignation!

"Yes, yes, yes! Go for it now! After Jiang Chong finished speaking, he saluted and left!

"Wait!" Feng Zhijing shouted!

"Yes, what else do you have to say?" Jiang Chong bowed and said!

"Have things settled in the mountains?" Feng Zhijing asked softly!

"Don't worry, my lord, everything has been arranged, and I guarantee that no one will find out!" Jiang Chong said mysteriously!

"Good, good! At this juncture, we must not make mistakes, as long as we send away Di Renjie, the plague god, a good day for you and me will come! Feng Zhijing whispered happily!

Shuozhou North Street, Julai Inn!

Di Renjie and his entourage opened the guest room, they were a little hungry, and the group sat in the lobby of the inn, ready to have some dinner.

"What's the shopkeeper's surname?" Di Renjie asked!

"Old man, under the surname Fang, the cheap name Fang Yande!" The shopkeeper said respectfully!

"Oh, shopkeeper Fang! Old and polite! Di Renjie clenched his fists and saluted!

"Oh, the old gentleman has tormented the villain, too polite, too polite!" The shopkeeper replied again and again!

"Shopkeeper Fang, we are new to Shuozhou, there is something I want to ask you about, I don't know if you can give me advice?" Di Renjie asked with a smile!

"The old gentleman is serious, what do you want to inquire about, just say hello, you must know everything you know!" Shopkeeper Fang said!

"That's right, I've heard that trade is booming in this border area before, and it can be said that there is everything, but I look at Shuozhou, how does it seem that it is different from other border places?" Di Renjie asked!

"At first glance, the old gentleman is an old businessman who has traveled from south to north for many years, and he is well-informed! The old gentleman is right, this Shuozhou is indeed different from other places, I guess the old gentleman wants to ask about ironware, right? Shopkeeper Fang suddenly glanced at him and said mysteriously!

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words of Shopkeeper Fang!
