Zhu Bai sighed: "It's a pity, I can't see it." ”

Zhu Fan said: "It's not difficult to meet, the twelfth brother can live with me until the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

Zhu Bai sighed: "Alas, my father also told me to go back to the Dragon Boat Festival." Not to mention the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

Zhu Fan's heart trembled: Zhu Bai reminded him of a very important thing. Even if Zhu Bai is used to exchange Deng Zhiqiu back, it must be done without leakage, otherwise Lao Zhu will see the flaw, and it will not be as simple as killing Deng Zhiqiu.

Although it is not as good as Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, Xi'an in spring is still very beautiful.

Crimson and pink peach blossoms clinged to the city walls, blooming brilliantly.

Bright yellow spring flowers hang down from the wall of whose house, scorching.

Tender green willow branches flutter by the lake and the river that runs through the city.

There are also swans, wild ducks, and mandarin ducks swimming leisurely on the lake. When they saw people coming from afar, they fluttered and flew away.

From time to time, you can see girls wearing pink, green, and purple skirts hanging out.

In Yingtian, it is rare to see such an eye-catching picture.

Everyone's lady shows that the door is not out of the door.

However, the people in the northwest are fierce, and the sky is high and the emperor is far away, so they are naturally much freer.

Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, the beautiful scenery he didn't see in Yingtian was seen in Xi'an.

It's a worthwhile trip.

Walking along the city wall and the main street, seeing that it was about to be noon, Zhu Bai said: "The second brother of hard work accompanied me to visit Xi'an City. I'm going to go to the official tooth bureau to have a look. ”

Zhu Fan arched his hand and said, "Okay, my brother knows that you are busy with official business, so I won't call you to eat at noon." At the beginning of the year, I set up a banquet in the palace for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, and then we will have a good time. ”

Zhu Bai hurriedly returned the salute: "Okay." ”

The tooth chief over there waited for a long time, so he was busy leading the way in front and taking Zhu Bai to the official tooth bureau.

Juberma turned around and went to the official tooth bureau in the south of the city.

The management of the Guanya Bureau is orderly, and the accounts are clear, which is basically consistent with the data obtained by Zhu Bai by synthesizing the information of the Guanya Station.

It was not in vain that Zhu Bai selected the most powerful one from all the agents at that time and sent him to Xi'an to open an official tooth bureau.

Zhu Bai asked Fugui to take out Suoyang and Hetian Yu to support their teeth and return to the sky.

Then he told the tooth chief about Lanrong and the reopening of the Silk Road.

Tooth Chang was also very excited to hear this.

Anyone with a little shopping experience will understand the benefits of reopening the Silk Road.

At that time, the transaction volume of Xi'an Guanya Bureau will far exceed that of Taiyuan Mansion and Beiping Mansion, becoming the richest place in the north.

Zhu Bai said: "Therefore, we must build the inn from Xi'an to Xining, and the second-level official tooth bureau in Xining should be built as soon as possible." These things will have to work a lot for you. ”

The tooth chief arched his hand: "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely do it for you." ”

Zhu Bai said: "There is no one at this time, if you have something to say to this king about the matter of King Qin, just say it now." ”

On weekdays, the letters are not clear, and secondly, they are afraid of being intercepted, which will harm the teeth.

Zhu Bai and Ya Chang tacitly agreed not to ask one or the other.

He didn't want to talk about it at this time.

As soon as Zhu Bai and Zhu Fan were brothers, he accidentally became a joker and separated the feelings of the prince's brothers. Second, it really has nothing to do with him.

But now Zhu Bai took the initiative to ask, there must be something wrong, and he pretended to be deaf and dumb again, and he was afraid that Zhu Bai would be affected when the time came.

The tooth chief hesitated for a moment and replied: "My subordinates have also heard some things, if there are any untruths and offenses, please ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”

Zhu Bai nodded: "It's okay to tell this king everything you have heard." ”

The tooth chief said: "I heard that Deng Niangniang has not shown up for several months. Every once in a while, the King of Qin would put some grain and grass outside the city. His Royal Highness King Qin's subordinates also came to the Guanya Bureau from time to time to buy food. Although they deliberately dressed up as ordinary businessmen and changed people every time, their subordinates could still recognize them. ”

The main reason is that the temperament of a soldier and an ordinary businessman is too different for him to ignore.

Zhu Bai heard this and frowned slightly: So, Deng Zhiqiu was held hostage by Wang Baobao?

The tooth chief lowered his voice and continued, "His Royal Highness King Qin's personal guards are suddenly less than twenty people. To the outside world, it is only said that he died of illness. ”

Even if it was a plague, it would not be possible for twenty people to die so neatly together.

Zhu Bai lowered his eyes and pondered: That is to say, Zhu Fan once took twenty people and No. 7 to rescue Deng Zhiqiu, but the whole army was wiped out.

No wonder Wang Bao kept so many Yanling knives and No. 7.

Fortunately, fortunately, Zhu Fan is not a collaborator.

The teeth are long and stop talking.

Zhu Bai said: "If you have something to say, don't worry. ”

Ya Chang said: "His Royal Highness King Qin has always favored Deng Niangniang. Since Deng Niangniang's disappearance, His Royal Highness King Qin's heart has changed greatly. Your Highness, please be careful. ”

Zhu Bai understood: This Zhu Fan is no longer the Zhu Fan of Yingtian.

In order to save Deng Zhiqiu, he can do anything, even hurt Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai nodded slightly: "Got it." Thank you for telling the truth. ”

Ya Changsheng was afraid that Zhu Bai would not realize the seriousness of this matter, so he added: "For the safety of His Highness, it is better for His Highness to leave Xi'an quickly." ”

Zhu Bai: "Okay. I'll leave tomorrow. ”

Why don't you want to see Hongyuan.

At least when Zong Xi asked, he would have something to say.

Zhu Bai looked at the sky: "It's almost time to go." ”

He chose a piece of Hetian jade that was in good condition and was large, and it could be used as an ornament and a gift for the door after a little carving, and he planned to set off.

Tooth Chief: "Your Highness should bring a few more people." ”

Zhu Bai said: "No need, just Lord Zhang, Lord Mao and Fugui go with this king." ”

There were so many people at the banquet tonight, and everyone knew that he went to the Qin Palace.

Zhu Fan is not stupid enough to be so stupid as to treat him at the banquet.

-----

Zhu Bai settled down in the inn of the Guanya Bureau, bathed and changed clothes, and went to Zhu Fan for a banquet.

The Qin Palace, which was repaired when Zhu Fan was crowned king, was repaired until he was a vassal domain.

Because when Lao Zhu was crowned king, he said: King Qin is the head of the vassal kings. It means that he should lead his other brothers to protect the northern frontier.

Therefore, the scale of the palace of the Qin prince should also be the first among the palaces of the feudal princes, in order to "convince the hearts of the people and consolidate the barriers".

The city of Qin Wangfu is a double city wall inside and outside, and the Xiao wall is added to the house wall. There is a moat between the Xiao wall and the palace wall, and the combination of the city wall and the moat outside the city is the structure of "three cities and two moats".

This is the same as the structure of Yingtian's palace.

The palace of the king of Qin is known as "ten miles of the palace city", and Zhu Bai has only seen the ruins of the palace wall in his previous life, and he is quite suspicious of the scale of the legend.

Now that I look at it, it's really big.

It is visually larger than the later Forbidden City in Beijing, and even larger than the Imperial Palace of Yingtian today.

Zhu Bai smacked his lips: "Wow." Second brother, how big is your palace? ”

Zhu Fan was a little proud and said, "It's not big, it's not big, that's it." 2,500 acres, 888 rooms. Because the population is still small, some rooms are still unfurnished and vacant. ”
