Chapter 259: A Prosperous Border City

Day after night, the sky is dark, the sun is setting, the sun is slowly sinking on the mountains in the west, and the reddish-purple sunset spreads all the way from the western sky, covering the sky overhead as if wrapped in a layer of colorful cotton wool. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, every household in the ancient city of Fengxiang is lit up, people come and go in the streets of the city, the traffic is busy, and the voices of the boiling people in the city can be heard from afar, and I don't know if they are celebrating any festival.

The soldiers defending the city have changed into gorgeous armor, and they are busy spreading out on the towers, and the festive and bright red red lanterns are hung on the heads of the towers, and then looking down the city, the city is full of lights, and most of the people are happy.

The military town, which had been subject to curfew, was still open at night, and the merchant armies were in and out of it.

On the official road leading to Fengxiang, several Humvees stepped through the evening frost on the road and ran straight to the head of Fengxiang City, and those people were Li Yin and the others who had been traveling all day.

"What's wrong with Fengxiang City today?! Why is it so lively? Huyanhu rode on a horse and saw the brightly lit Fengxiang City Tower at the end of the road from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's the same as more than ten years ago......

"You came to Fengxiang City more than ten years ago?" The Huang Huma under Li Yin is very strong, and he can always surpass the other two people and lead the way in front.

"Of course-" A gust of evening breeze blew from the front, blowing so that the voice from Huyanhu's mouth was a little messy, he said, "When I came to Fengxiang, my brother and I were still slaves, I remember that day happened to be the full moon day of the son of the Fengxiang City Lord's family, hehe, even my slave ate the wedding wine that day-"

"......" Li Yin lowered his head slightly and chuckled, "Actually, it's not the full moon wine of the city lord's son, it's just the day of his eighth birthday."

"Huh?! I don't know. Hu Yanhu asked for his huge head and smiled, "Anyway, I don't bother to care who it is, I just remember that a little official fed me wine that day, thank him so much...... Having said that, Brother Han, since you know so much about Fengxiang City...... I heard that the city lord of Fengxiang rebelled a few years ago, and the city was breached, do you know who the little official in the whole city was that day? How's it going? ”

Li Yin's heart trembled suddenly when Hu Yanhu asked him this, and then he looked at the plausible Fengxiang City Tower in front of him, and a burst of melancholy and bitterness suddenly surged in his heart.

Of course, Li Yin knew who the little official in the city was - that was himself!

His thoughts fluttered, and in a trance, he was as if he had returned to the past.

On his eighth birthday, his parents, who had always believed in Buddhism, gave him a special way to celebrate his birthday – giving to the poor.

Li Yin still remembers the special feeling in his heart when he personally handed over the money and wine to the poor and slaves--piety, respect and pleasure......

Because Fengxiang City at that time, under his father's guidance, there were very few poor beggars, and most of the people Li Yin could give were Hu slaves brought by a few merchants, but this was enough for the little Li Yin to be excited for a long time.

When I was a carefree child, those joyful princely identities......

Everything is so real and yet unreal, the Hu slaves who were once locked up in iron cages have their own surnames and live with dignity; And the little prince who had been honored all his life outside the iron cage became a slave of another Hu man......

"Han brothers? Han brothers?! Huyanhu's shout pulled Li Yin's ethereal thoughts back, and as soon as he woke up, he saw that there were many potholes on the road ahead of him, and if the horse's hooves were accidentally pinned inside, not only would the horse be seriously injured, but even people might be thrown off the galloping horse's back.

Seeing this scene, Li Yin immediately cheered up and carefully steered the horse over the minefield.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted." Li Yin nodded to Hu Yanhu with a somewhat ashamed expression, "I actually don't know who the little official you are talking about is......

"Oh, it's okay, Brother Han, you're only the same age as my young lady, how many years ago it was estimated that you were an eight-year-old child, hehe-hey-where did you remember this little doll at that time." As a Uighur and a slave, Huyanhu spoke very unpleasantly, but there was another simplicity and truthfulness, and Li Yin laughed together instead of being angry after hearing it.

"We're almost there, while the city gate is still closed, let's hurry up and enter the city." Hu Yanlong paid attention to the conversation on their side, and actually cared about the whereabouts of the officials who gave him money back then, although he heard Li Yin say that he was a little disappointed, but he still had a bad idea in the past.

But then he thought about it, and said that when he was down, he knew a lot of beggars in Fengxiang City, and they were the most well-informed, maybe they could know a thing or two.

And since today I mentioned the little official who used to be kind to me, and I have returned to this place, anyway, Hu Yanlan can't manage it for the time being, so it is better to take this opportunity to ask in Fengxiang City, and also count one of my thoughts over the years.

It was with this thought in mind that Hu Yanlong hurriedly patted the horse's back and urged the others to rush to Fengxiang City.

Creation and making people is really like this, what Hu Yanlong thinks in his heart can certainly reflect his affection and righteousness, but as everyone knows, the person he is looking for is far away in the sky, and it is actually in front of him.

As soon as time passed, in the blink of an eye, several of them rushed to the downstairs of the gate of Fengxiang City.

At this time, the city gate was wide open, and there were two soldiers standing at the door, one on the left and one on the right, but not to check the identity of the people entering and leaving, but to do the work of directing traffic to prevent congestion, and did not ask about the new faces of Li Yin and the others, but just waved their hands and let them in.

And what surprised Li Yin and the others was that in fact, Fengxiang City was much more lively from the outside, it was really rubbing shoulders, riding horses and squeezing can't squeeze out, the streets on both sides are full of all kinds of vendors and snacks, and people are coming and going.

Li Yin and the others have their own horses, not to mention, but also have to lead the other two, so it is even more difficult to move, the point of difficulty, there is really nothing to do, they only get off the horse and hold the reins, with their own body to open the way for the horse, so that they can move a few steps in the crowd.

It took half an hour of hard work to make Li Yin reluctantly come to the door of a hotel and prepare to stay overnight.
