The three of them rode eastward along the city wall, and walked for a full hour before they saw the east gate of Yemili City.

The gate is three feet high, and the images of Amitabha Buddha and Medicine King Bodhisattva are painted on the gate, which is very exquisite. The castle tower is built in the shape of a delicate pagoda, and when the breeze blows, the horn bells echo each other, sending out a refreshing natural sound.

The city gate is not guarded, but people in the past will look at each other, as if they are all wary of others, but the three of them have become an alternative in the crowd.

"Miss!" Ulanri whispered to Ta Buyan: "Lang Zhong said that Yemili City is in the midst of war, but there are no swords here!" ”

The tower did not smoke and looked up, only to see that there were many shops in the city, there were many temples, and there were even more merchants from various tribes and countries around the city, and there was indeed no sign of war.

"Maybe it's because Lang Zhong hasn't gone out for a long time, it's just hearsay!"

Before the words fell, a loud noise was heard on the street corner, and then thick smoke billowed out. The three of them looked at each other and saw a fire raging in front of a Buddhist temple.

A few little monks carrying buckets ran out of the temple, and they poured out the fire with their hands and feet, and their movements were so fast that they were comparable to the guard camp of the Great Liao Imperial City.

The strange thing is that such an unexpected situation did not cause panic among the people, and the pedestrians on the street still walked lightly and went their own way, and even the troupe that set up the stage next to the temple did not give a second glance at the fire, as if such a thing was as common in Yemili City as if someone had a fart on the street.

Ta Buyan and Wulan Ri looked at each other, and felt that the folk customs here were strange, so they didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to find an inn to settle in.

But after walking through three streets, they saw a lot of teahouses, restaurants, pawnshops, and clothing shops, but there was no trace of the inn, and seeing that it was getting late, they had to speed up their pace.

Joshua walked for another hour, and a great river blocked their way.

"Have we already searched for half the city?" Ulange asked.

"The Yemili River passes through the city, dividing the city into east and west, since we can't find the inn in the east, let's go to the west and look for it again!"

Walking along the river, soon saw a stone bridge, this bridge is about 100 steps long, the width is eight or nine zhang, the east bridge head stands the statue of the dragon Arhat, but the west bridge head has only a bluestone pedestal, but there is nothing on it.

As soon as the three of them walked to the bridge, hundreds of masked people in white robes and armed with knives and axes appeared out of nowhere to the west of the bridge, blocking the road ahead.

Ta Buyan and Ulange were shocked, and Dashi took out the dagger again.

"The other side is outnumbered, don't fight!"

Ta Buyan dragged the reins of the big stone and turned around, but behind them, hundreds of other people had already blocked the east of the bridge.

Seeing that there was no way out, Ulan Ri immediately shouted: "Who are you?" Why is there an ambush here? ”

But none of the two waves of murderers answered, nor did they approach, but only confronted each other at both ends of the stone bridge, and each did not back down.

After an hour like this, Ta Buyan couldn't bear his temperament, pulled out the soft sword on his waist and shouted: "You don't stand until you fight, you don't retreat, what do you want?" ”

Before the words fell, I saw a person riding out of the crowd on horseback to the west of the bridge. He was also dressed in a white robe, but unlike the masked men behind him, his ornaments were dazzling.

There were three pairs of gold bracelets on each wrist on each hand, four or five chains around his neck, and a man had two pairs of earrings on his ears, and he didn't even wear shoes and socks in order to reveal the longevity lock at his ankles.

Ta Buyan looked at this person, the bridge of his nose was straight, his eyebrow bones were high, and his eye sockets were deep-set, and he always felt that he had seen it there again, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Nasr!"

Dashi suddenly laughed and shouted, dancing with his hands, as if he had seen an old friend.

"Nasr?" The jewelry man in the west of the bridge sneered: "I can't imagine that my crazy brother still has some prestige in the east of the city!" ”

This person pulled out the iron scimitar on his waist, raised his hand and pointed at the tower Buyan and said: "I have already said that the people in the east of the city eat minced meat and alcohol, and they must not set foot in the pure land in the west of our city. What you have done today has broken the covenant of the day before yesterday, so don't blame me for igniting the war again! ”

"His Highness Hassan!" A deafening voice suddenly came from the east of the bridge: "Ye Mili City has been supported by the Buddhist family since ancient times, although it has never belonged to other countries, but the bloodline is finally from the Central Plains.

Your country, the Eastern Black Khanate, originated from the Uighurs, and once claimed to be from the lower Qin, and should be of the same origin as my generation. It is precisely because of this that I, the Yemili people, have never been upset, and have surrendered half of the city to Islamic missions, which can be described as benevolent and righteous. Why is it that your country is still so persecutive and insatiable? ”

"Concession?" The jeweler named Hassan suddenly burst out laughing: "It is my teachings that are fair and just, and my teachings are so popular that half of the people of the city are willing to serve the true God Allah, Lord of the city, you are so good at laughing!" ”

"Then why did you send people to the east of the city to persecute ordinary people?"

"You don't want to spew blood, it's all caused by the evil done in the east of the city and the sins of the true God!"

……

Hassan and the city lord came and went, and they did not give in to each other, and they did not stop until it was dark.

Taking advantage of the fact that the servants on both sides lit the torches, the two big men drank saliva, Ta Buyan dismounted, and saluted both sides with his chest: "The little woman is the eldest daughter of the prime minister of the Great Liaobei Mansion, and she came here in search of antidote herbs Luo Buma, I don't know the customs of your place, and I don't know the grievances of things and things, and I have no intention of stepping on this stone bridge, which caused the two to misunderstand."

I also heard what the two of them said, in the final analysis, it is still a matter of the two religions of Yi and Fo, the little woman has no intention of getting involved, and asked the two of them to let the soldiers and horses take a step back, so that the three of me can leave, and never stay in the city for more. ”

When Hassan and the city lord heard Ta Buyan's identity, they all gasped, and they didn't make a sound for a long time, and their men didn't retreat.

"City Lord? Your Highness? "The tower does not smoke and bows again.

City Lord: "Miss Xiao, please get off the bridge!" ”

Hassan: "Wherever you came from, go back!" ”

It's rare for the two to share a similar opinion.

Subsequently, the soldiers and horses in the east of the city retreated a little, making way for the three of them to get off the bridge, and when they reached the side of the city lord, the old man gave a deep salute and whispered: "Miss Xiao, stay here, the old man still has important matters to discuss with the young lady." ”

Ta Buyan was stunned for a moment, but thinking that the dilemma on the bridge today was resolved because of the east, it was not good to refuse immediately, so he had to suspend his horse and stop for a while.

"Today's misunderstanding has been cleared up, is it okay for His Highness and the old man to retreat separately?" The city lord turned his head and said to the other side of the bridge.

Hassan saw that it was getting late, and he didn't want to continue to entangle: "You and I have a long way to go, but I want to remind you that since ancient times, women have been all red faces, don't use any crooked brains!" ”
