The team set up camp in the sand moraine on the northwest edge of Bailongdui, waited quietly for a day and a night, and the two groups of people sent out rushed back one after another.

"General, there are less than five hundred troops stationed in the capital of Loulan, and the guards at the city gate are very strict, and the population in the city is nearly two thousand, in addition to local residents, merchants also account for a lot."

"General, the capital of Moshan is less than five miles away, with a population of about 1,000 and two or three hundred soldiers in the city.

After the report, Pu Zhen and Elder Bayan, Qingchen, Mu Lingfeng and Lu An gathered together to discuss.

"Miss Lingfeng, is there a problem with you taking An Shao and Miss Qingchen and his party to enter Loulan City as a caravan?"

Mu Lingfeng shook his head, "What about you?" ”

"I plan to take more than seven hundred of my subordinates to Moshan Country first, take it down, and then go to Loulan to join you inside and outside!"

Mu Lingfeng thought for a while, "Lu An, what do you think?" ”

"There are too many caravans on our side, and it is easy to arouse suspicion, so we can divide half of the hundred caravans and take them away by General Pu, and the other half will be used as caravan guards."

"Qingchen will go to the capital of Loulan with us, you can wear a veil, as a member of the singers, as for Elder Bayan and others, you must also follow General Pu, otherwise you will definitely have an accident if you are found out by the city gate of Loulan Kingdom."

"Also, Lian'er is the leader of the caravan, and Qiao'er also follows General Pu's team, taking care of Hai'er, as well as the prisoner Erma!"

"Good!" Pu Zhen nodded, "It's decided, let's split up immediately."

Lingfeng girl, don't remember that before we arrive at the capital of Loulan Kingdom, don't act without permission, otherwise it will be easy to fall into danger! ”

"Got it."

After packing up, Lu An, Mu Lingfeng and Lian'er took the caravan and first left the Bailongdui sand moraine and rushed to the capital of Loulan Kingdom.

Outside the white dragon pile, the desolate sand moraine that Lu An and the others finally said goodbye to, what came into view was a flat grassland area, and the air was gradually cooler.

In the late autumn of the Peacock River Delta, every time you walk a section, you can see sparse herdsmen driving sheep and horses and cattle to graze leisurely, the sky is blue, the white clouds are fluttering, and farther away, the gurgling Peacock River flows down the river and pours into the boundless prison blue sea.

Twenty miles away, less than half a day.

The capital of Loulan in front of it covers an area of 20 miles.

The city walls of the Western Regions are basically a feature.

The walls are seven or eight meters high, about half a meter thick, and are all made of local clay, mixed with red wicker.

From time to time, business travelers entered and exited the city from the direction of Moshan Country in the east and along the Peacock River in the west.

As previously investigated, although the area of the capital of Loulan is not large, this is the place where the king of Loulan is stationed after all, and the inventory of the city gate is still quite strict.

As he gradually approached the city gate, he could see that among all the merchants, only Lu An's team had the largest number of people, which naturally attracted the attention of the people around him.

Fortunately, only about 50 of the army were men, and most of the rest were young and beautiful girls, which did not cause panic among the city gate guards.

Moreover, Lu An and the others drove nearly ten carriages, which were full of goods and supplies, and they looked like high-rollers from afar.

"It seems like it's been a long time since we've had a caravan of this size, right?"

"Yes, it's been a few years, and looking at these people, they seem to be from the Central Plains."

"The Central Plains is prosperous and rich, and it is not surprising that so many goods are here.

If I hadn't been worried about encountering sand bandits along the way, I would have wanted to make a trip to earn more silver. ”

"However, it seems that this caravan only has dozens of guards, and they are still so young, could it be that they have not encountered any danger along the way?"

"Just ask?"

"That's right, I haven't been to the Central Plains Runner for more than two years, but if I can buy some high-quality goods from them, it's worth the trip!"

"In that case, when you settle down in the city, talk to them?"

"Okay, hehe."

Two merchants from the Western Regions followed Lu An's team, waiting patiently.

Soon, however, there was a commotion from the city gates.

The two looked forward curiously, only to find that it was the caravan in front of them, which was not small, but it was actually stopped by the city gate guards.

"What's going on? Go over and take a look. ”

Lu An was also confused by the situation in front of him, and it wasn't until he approached the city gate that he realized that they seemed to have forgotten an important thing - the pass!

Of course, they all had this kind of supporting document on them, but they forgot a question that Elder Bayan had said before.

——If the Central Plains Business Brigade wants to enter the Western Regions, it will definitely pass through the gateway of Moshan Country!

However, in fact, they bypassed the Moshan Kingdom and walked here from the white dragon pile sand moraine, so naturally there would be no seal of the Moshan Kingdom.

At the front of the team, the team leader Lian'er was also anxious, and kept explaining to the guards at the city gate, "Two big brothers, you have also seen that our car is full of goods from the Middle Plains, and we are really merchants from the Central Plains.

There are also these girls in the caravan, who are also singers who specially went to the Western Regions to perform their talents, please let the two eldest brothers let us in? ”

As she spoke, Lian'er stuffed two ingots of silver into the hands of the two soldiers defending the city.

It's a pity that what she didn't expect was that the guards at the city gate accepted the money correctly, but they always refused to let it go.

"No matter who you are, you must not enter the city without the seal issued by the Moshan Kingdom!"

As soon as she heard this, Lian'er was also embarrassed and planned to ask Lu An for help.

Just as she turned around, she suddenly saw that the two merchants from the Western Regions who were coming towards her were immediately overjoyed.

"Uncle Mifflin!"

One of the middle-aged bearded businessmen who had just walked over heard the call and looked at Lian'er carefully, and seemed to have some impressions.

"You're—"

"Uncle Mifflin, did you forget? A few years ago, didn't you often go to the Central Plains to run business? And I've worked with my lady many times.

Oh, by the way, my young lady's surname is Lu. ”

Smack-

Mifflin slapped his head violently, and his eyes immediately lit up, "You're Miss Lu Yuyan's maid, right?" ”

"Little maid Lian'er, this time I specially followed the wishes of my young lady and brought a caravan to the Western Regions to sell goods, I didn't expect to meet Uncle Mifflin here, it's really good!"

"yes!" Mifflin was even more enthusiastic than expected, "Miss Lu is so young, she runs such a big business, she is simply a heroine among women."

It's a pity that the past two years have not been good, I haven't been to the Central Plains for two years, by the way, is Miss Lu okay? ”

"Well, my young lady is very good, and the business has expanded a lot, and she is getting busier and busier, so this time I came to the Western Regions to sell goods, and the young lady handed over this task to the little maid.

It's a pity that the little maid is inexperienced, and she actually lost the place when she came from Moshan Kingdom, and now she can't enter the city if she wants to, what can I do? ”

As she spoke, Lian'er shed tears of grievance.

"Miss Lian'er doesn't have to worry." Mifflin immediately patted his chest and walked over to the two gate guards.

"Dear Misabaugh, hello."

The two city gate guards, who were arrogant just now, actually bowed down very respectfully when they saw Michelin.

"Hmm."

Mifflin said with a smile, "Two little brothers, this girl is my old acquaintance when I was in the Central Plains, and she is also the best business partner.

Do you know how big her family's business is?

Let's put it this way, it's more than a thousand times the size of my current business!

This is a giant merchant in the Central Plains, if you prevent her from entering the city, even if the king of Loulan knows, he will be heartbroken! ”

"What? This ......"

"A thousand times more?"

"Misabao is a well-known rich merchant in our Western Regions, this girl is actually richer than you?"

The two soldiers looked incredulous.

However, she didn't dare to embarrass Lian'er anymore.

After all, such a wealthy caravan from the Central Plains would pay a considerable amount of money in taxes to the city!

Thinking of this, the two soldiers hurriedly made a way, "Since there is Misa Bao as a guarantor, of course the villain will not dare to stop it, just conduct a routine inspection." ”
