"Let's go."

"Where are you going?"

Hou Guang was a little puzzled, since they left the inn, they didn't do anything, they just went around in circles in this Chang'an capital.

At this time, Hou Guang didn't fail to see that the head of his family should be looking for the young man in green shirts, but why did he not go when he had already arrived at the door?

"Today is not the time."

Li Sixing shook his head and glanced up at the sky.

He came out this time to explore the path in advance, and after knowing the situation of Ye Tianming and the mountain guest, he already had a general idea of the future plan.

For Ye Tianming, the eldest disciple of his previous life and the chief disciple of the Qinglian Sword Sect, Li Sixing needs to design a "chance encounter"!

…………

At the same time, on the other side of Chang'an Jingzhong, Li Jing and Jiang Ye had already left the inn where they were staying at some point.

In other words, after making sure that Li Sixing had gone away to run errands, Li Jing dragged Jiang Ye secretly, or ran out openly.

"I said, junior brother, didn't you make a breakthrough in your cultivation, this is not a retreat, what are you running out for?"

One thing to say, Jiang Ye himself really wanted to stay in the inn and cultivate with peace of mind, but the task left to him by the head of the house was to ask him to look at Li Jing.

And Li Jing also knew this, and he didn't think about running away, so he simply called Jiang Ye out together.

"Alas, don't you need to call me senior brother, just call me junior brother!"

Li Jing's eyes rolled, and as soon as he raised his arm, he hugged Jiang Ye's shoulder, and his face showed a grinning expression.

Because the sect was newly established, there were still few disciples in the sect, and everyone was an outer disciple, the generational relationship between the disciples in Li Sixing's Fangcun Mountain was not very clear.

For example, if you look at the time of entry and identity, Li Jing is undoubtedly the position of the senior brother.

After all, Li Jing is not only the earliest disciple to get started, but also the disciple of Li Sixing who personally recognized and accepted him as an apprentice.

It's just that in terms of age, Li Jing doesn't have an advantage, so in the previous days, some older disciples called themselves senior brothers to Li Jing.

As far as Li Jing himself is concerned, he doesn't care about the title.

And at the end of the outer gate competition, Li Jing defeated Hou Guang and established his identity as the first disciple of the outer gate, everyone was also convinced by Li Jing, the senior brother.

"Well, it's not good."

Jiang Ye can also be regarded as the person who has the closest relationship with Li Jing in the door except for Xiaohu, and is the most familiar with him.

After hearing Li Jing's obvious words, and seeing Li Jing's expression, his heart immediately became vigilant.

"Alas!"

Li Jing looked at the alleys and streets around him left and right, and said indifferently: "What's this, let's talk about it separately, or you still call me senior brother, and I will also call you senior brother." ”

Ah......h

The corners of Jiang Ye's mouth twitched, and he didn't want to continue on this topic, and his voice changed: "I said, senior brother, what do you want to do?" ”

As soon as he heard Jiang Ye ask, Li Jing immediately became interested, and he didn't hide it, and said with a smug expression: "Two days ago, I heard that a group of Hu merchants from the Western Regions will rush to the West Market in Chang'an Jing today, and there is nothing to do anyway, let's go and join in the fun." ”

"Okay, okay."

Jiang Ye groaned and nodded, he agreed to accompany Li Jing to go shopping, mainly because of Hu Shang, he himself was very curious.

Most of the Hu merchants in Chang'an Jingzhong came from many small countries in the Western Regions, and a small number came from many tribes in northern Xinjiang.

They brought a large number of domestic goods and treasures, and traveled thousands of miles to the prosperous Western Tang Dynasty to do business and make friends, and many Hu merchants lingered on the prosperous Western Tang Dynasty.

This is a scene that cannot be seen in Beiming, especially in Qizhou.

First, because of the distance, the Northern Ming Dynasty rarely saw foreign Hu merchants from the Western Regions, and secondly, the Northern Ming faced two great enemies in the border territory, one was the nomadic herds in the Northern Frontier, and the other was the Japanese in the East China Sea.

Whether it is the nomadic herders in the north or the Japanese in the East China Sea, they are not as easy to get along with as the Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and they are always thinking about invading the territory of the Northern Ming Dynasty.

At this point, the three great powers are actually facing the same situation, and each country borders the four empires of two of them.

For example, the Northern Ming Dynasty bordered the land of Northern Xinjiang and the land of the East China Sea, while the Western Tang Dynasty bordered the land of the Western Regions and the land of Northern Xinjiang, and finally the Southern Song Dynasty had to face pressure from the land of the East China Sea and the land of the Southern Barbarians.

The vast land of Shenzhou is the whole four regions of Kyushu, in which the state and the domain are actually the same meaning, which is a collective name for the vast region, but the land of one domain is usually worth the land of several states, and it is not under the control of the Three Kingdoms, it is a barbarian land.

For example, Northern Xinjiang is the boundless grassland of Northern Xinjiang, spanning the Western Tang Dynasty and the Northern Ming Dynasty, bordering the three states of Qin, Zhao and Yan!

Among the Three Kingdoms, because of the topography, due west of the Western Tang Dynasty is the plateau and snow-capped mountain ranges, which traverse everything, there are many taboos, and people are rare, while the north direction is the vast northern frontier.

Therefore, only through the Hexi Corridor of Qinzhou, such a narrow place, out of the Yumen Pass in the west, can we reach the Western Regions.

And when you get out of the Yumen Pass and arrive at the Western Regions, the place will be big, and the entire Western Regions will be even bigger than one country and three states, which is the general name of the vast region of the West, and it is actually not a holistic concept.

Just because there is no unified country in the Western Regions.

Throughout the Western Regions, there are hundreds of large and small countries, and various exotic religions and sects can be seen everywhere.

Moreover, the Western Desert Gobi is everywhere, there are several places in the Great Desert and the Great Gobi that stretch for thousands of miles, and there is no lack of oasis and dark rivers in their hinterland, forming a wonderful exotic style.

Not only the Western Regions, but also the other three regions, Northern Xinjiang, East China Sea, and Southern Barbarians, are all similar in form, with large and small countries, tribes, and sects, unlike the Three Kingdoms, which have a unified regime.

If we talk about the differences, the differences between the four regions are also very large, whether it is in terms of geographical environment or customs.

The Western Regions are deserts, the northern frontiers are grasslands, the East China Sea is archipelagos, and the southern barbarians are mountains and forests.

In contrast, the Northern Xinjiang, the East China Sea, and the Southern Barbarians have always been dishonest.

Especially the nomads in the north and the Japanese in the East China Sea, compared with the first two, the barbarians in the south are more honest.

It is also because of this that among the Three Kingdoms, it belongs to the frontier of the Northern Ming Dynasty with the greatest pressure, not as good as the Western Tang Dynasty and the three states of the Northern Ming Dynasty, of which the two states of Yan and Zhao are bordered by the Northern Xinjiang, and the remaining Qizhou is still close to the East China Sea, and the frontier has never stopped.

Forced by the situation, it was naturally impossible for the Northern Ming Dynasty to accept Hu Shang on a large scale like the Western Tang Dynasty, and they could communicate with each other.
