After walking for two more days, Li Zhen and the three finally arrived in Luoyang, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

After the establishment of Li Tang, Luoyang was once left out in the cold, and there was a sense of beauty in the twilight, but with the rise of Wu Zetian, Luoyang became prosperous to an unprecedented degree, and reached its peak after Wu Zetian ascended to the emperor.

Chang'an resources were sent to the east, large-scale palace construction, all countries came to the dynasty, and merchants from all over the world gathered, so that Luoyang, the capital of the gods, crossed Chang'an again, and flourished for a while.

The west of Luoyang City is mainly dominated by the palace and the forbidden garden, Li Zhen and the three of them go around to the south to enter the city, although there are still several miles away from the Dingding Gate in the south of the city, but the two sides of the official road are already very lively, the wine shops, inns are lined up in the second ratio, one by one, there are many scholars and businessmen who come to Beijing from other places.

"Brother Li, let's go eat something first!"

Yan Xiao, it should be Di Yan pointed to a wine shop not far away and said with a smile: "The flying knife carp in that wine shop is very famous, and you can also eat Mourning pears, I used to taste them with my friends." ”

"Miss Yan, what is a flying knife carp, does it have anything to do with my flying knife?" Jiuzhi scratched his head and asked.

Di Yan said with a smile: "It is raw carp and carp, the celebrity chef uses an extremely sharp knife to slash the raw fish, the slices are thin and thin, white and thin, accompanied by ginger and scallion sauce, very delicious, it is a famous dish in Beijing." ”

Li Zhen secretly thought in his heart, 'Could this be the origin of sashimi?'

Li Zhen said happily: "Since it is so delicious, let's try it!"

The three of them entered the wine shop, the bartender knew Di Yan, and hurriedly greeted them warmly to sit down, Di Yan asked, "Can you have Sanle Pulp and Mourning Pears today?"

The bartender said repeatedly: "Yes! Sanle pulp, which was just shipped from Gaochang, and the Aijia pears were only picked yesterday, and they were very fresh." ”

Di Yan nodded, "In addition to Sanle pulp and mourning pears, I want another flying knife carp, a large plate, and another ten catties of roasted mutton, it must be Tongzhou sheep, if you use sheep from other places to pretend, I don't have to pay." ”

The bartender laughed, "The girl is a frequent customer of the shop, how dare she deceive the girl, it is absolutely authentic, please wait!"

"By the way, there are four more pieces of Hu Cake, which should also be freshly made. ”

"Okay! ”

The bartender walked quickly, and Di Yan smiled at the two: "The real Gaochang wine is in Luoyang, Chang'an is still a little short, and the Mourning pear is also a specialty of Luoyang, the most precious, and I can't eat it elsewhere, and it is also my favorite." ”

Li Zhen asked curiously: "Why do you have to roast Tongzhou sheep, isn't the fat sheep in Hexi bad?"

"Of course, Hexi fat sheep is also good, but the best sheep are produced in Chaoyi County, Tongzhou, where there is a bitter spring, which is very suitable for sheep to drink, so the sheep grazing in Tongzhou are very fat and delicate, and we have a common proverb in Luoyang that 'bitter spring sheep, Luo water slurry'. ”

Li Zhen hadn't entered Luoyang yet, but he heard so much exquisiteness, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of emotion in his heart, worthy of being a god, which really opened his eyes.

Di Yan understood his thoughts, pouted and said: "It's really a countryman entering the city, does this thing make you sigh? This is still a commoner's diet, if it is a palace noble, then your eyeballs can't fall off?"

"But I still like to sit in front of the fire and roast mutton and drink milk wine, that feeling is the most enjoyable, old fat, don't you say?"

Jiuzhi was burying his head in eating snacks, and he replied vaguely: "If you hold your little lady Zhu Yue in your arms, it will be more beautiful!"

"What little lady?" Di Yan didn't hear clearly, and asked curiously.

Li Zhen hurriedly said: "This fat man has a dirty mind, he said that Zhu Xie Xiaoniang, that is, Shatuo woman, don't pay attention to him." ”

As he spoke, Li Zhen gave the dead fat man a hard kick under the table, and Jiu Zhi suddenly came to his senses, smiled, and continued to bow his head to eat his fine points.

At this time, the bartender brought Sanle pulp and mourning pears, Di Yan hurriedly beckoned the two to eat pears, Li Zhen picked up the pears and took a bite and tasted them.

I only felt that the flesh was delicate, sweet and juicy, and it was really a good pear, and he was full of praise, "Good pear, it really deserves its name." ”

At this moment, a long shout came from outside the wine shop, "King Wei returns to the city, idlers give way!"

Di Yan's face immediately turned cold, and she snorted softly.

Li Zhen could also hear clearly, wasn't King Wei Wu Chenghe? He was curious, so he hurriedly propped up the window and looked out at the official road, only to see two horseback guards opening the way in front.

Immediately after that, there were two more horseback guards, one pair after another, and more than a hundred horseback guards walked away, and finally saw more than thirty guards with swords guarding a few horseback men.

There are three people in total, two women and one man, the man is about forty years old, wearing a gauze hat, wearing a purple robe, a jade belt around his waist, looking quite white, with three long wisps of beard, it turns out that this is Wu Chenghei, although the pomp is not small, but it looks like a small family.

Behind are two young women, about twenty years old, but dressed in fancy clothes, one yellow and one green, both wearing Zen wing thin clothes, coats with half arms and short shirts, revealing a large piece of snow skin on the chest, wearing a long skirt that falls to the ground, and the arms are wrapped around the long silk, which is particularly eye-catching.

However, the two women were wearing long swords, which was a little different, and I saw the two women talking and laughing, and if there was no one around, they could hear their voices when they sat in the wine shop.

Di Yan couldn't help sneering, "It's only been half a year since my husband died, so he changed his drape, is this the Wu family style?"

Li Zhen knew that women in the Tang Dynasty wore silk when they were unmarried, and they changed their silk after they got married, and his eldest sister Li Quan was clothed, and he looked at the two women again, and it turned out that these two people were the daughters of the Wu family.

Di Yan said to Li Zhen again: "Have you seen it, the daughter in the yellow dress is the daughter of Wu Chenghe, called Wu Furong, and the one in the green dress is the daughter of Wu Sansi, called Wu Dingxiang, the two are generally old, coincidentally the two of them died half a year ago, and now they are looking for a husband to remarry, and the people of Luoyang call them Wuhua two widows." ”

Li Zhen couldn't help but think of the mosquitoes and flies in Dunhuang, it seems that no matter the border or the Central Plains, the folk customs are much the same.

"Looks like you're quite prejudiced against the two of them?"

"Prejudice?" Di Yan sneered, "It's not just prejudice, you'll know later." ”

Li Zhen smiled, didn't speak, and slowly tasted the flying knife carp that the bartender had just served, since he and Di Yan talked in Ruxiang County, the two of them had a deeper understanding of each other.

Li Zhen already knew that Di Yan's master was the Gongsun aunt who defeated Pei Min with a trick, known as the number one swordsman in the world.

Aunt Gongsun has been wandering among the palace magnates for a long time, and has received countless apprentices, many of whom are the daughters of official eunuchs, and Di Yan is one of them.

Listening to Di Yan's tone, it seems that Aunt Gongsun attaches great importance to her, and this time she was sent to Chang'an to compete for relics, which is the favor of Aunt Gongsun to return a high position.

As for who this 'high-ranking person' is, Di Yan didn't know at all, but Li Zhen had vaguely guessed that this high-ranking person was the mastermind behind the entire relics incident.

This whirlpool is too big, it is related to the power struggle of the entire Tang Dynasty, Li Zhen really doesn't want to be involved anymore, but he really wants to know who this high-ranking person is?

The reason is very simple, this high-ranking person killed Wu Shun, which is directly related to him, and he, Li Zhen, is carrying the black pot for this high-ranking person.

Just thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion at the door of the wine shop, and the drinkers sitting at the door were so frightened that they stumbled away, only to see several tall guards with knives walking into the door, they had a rough attitude, pushed the bartender away, and swept their eyes coldly to each wine table, as if they were looking for someone?

Immediately after that, a young woman in a yellow dress walked out from behind the guard, with a bewitching face and a long sword in her hand, it was Wu Furong, one of the two widows he saw just now, which made Li Zhen a little strange, how could this woman come so quickly.

Li Zhen suddenly reacted, this daughter of a martial artist was here to find Di Yan, he glanced at Di Yan quickly, and saw that Di Yan was enjoying the delicious sashimi slowly, and did not seem to see a group of people breaking in.

"Senior sister, what a big shelf!"

Wu Furong slowly walked to Di Yan's side, looked at her and smiled, "When did you come back, why didn't you say hello to me?"

Di Yan still ignored her, a sneering smile appeared on the corner of Wu Furong's mouth, and she raised her thin eyebrows and said, "It seems that my junior sister is very hungry!

Di Yan didn't seem to hear anything, Wu Furong glanced at Li Zhen, and pretended to be surprised, "It turns out that there is an extra wild man next to him!"

Di Yan returned her hand and splashed a spoonful of sauce in her hand at her, Wu Furong reacted quickly, and the long sword was blocked, and the sauce splashed on the scabbard.

"How dare you be rude!"

Wu Furong's face changed, she took a step back, and the long sword came out of the sheath in an instant, stabbing Di Yan's neck, this sword was ruthless and fast, and it was clearly intended to kill Di Yan.

Li Zhen was stunned on the side, listening to the conversation between these two people, it was clear that they were sisters and sisters, but turning their faces was like turning a book, and the sword and sword wanted each other to die, where was there any friendship between the same family?

He immediately understood what Di Yan had just said, 'It's not just a prejudice!' It seems that there is a deep hatred between these two people.

But time does not allow Li Zhen to think deeply, he was afraid that Di Yan would suffer a loss, and he was about to throw out the bowl in his hand to block the sword for her, but Di Yan had already prepared, his body was as light as a swallow, and he flashed away at the critical moment, and the cold light in his hand came out of the sheath, stabbing Wu Furong in the throat.

There was a big chaos in the wine shop, and the bartender who was coming over with roast mutton was affected by the sword light, Wu Furong stabbed him in the left arm with a sword, and the bartender screamed in pain, and the roast mutton "dang chang!" fell to the ground, and the bartender crawled to the side.

In just a short moment, the two women exchanged seven or eight swords, Li Zhen saw that Wu Furong was not Di Yan's opponent, he was a little fixed in his heart, and gave Jiu Zhi a look, the two of them stood between the guards and Wu Furong in a flash, drew their swords and looked at several guards coldly, if the guards dared to come forward to help, they would also take action.

"Stop!"

Wu Furong couldn't resist and jumped out, she saw that the guards didn't come forward to help, so she had to stop Di Yan, these two people don't know how many times they have fought, but they have counted each other, and they will not be killed.

"Get out!"

Di Yan snorted, Wu Furong's face was extremely ugly, she turned around and left, walked to the door and stared at Li Zhen viciously, turned around and slapped several guards one by one, "A bunch of useless things!"

She rushed away angrily, Li Zhen looked at her back and walked away, slowly shaking her head, no wonder this woman's husband would die early
