After leaving Loulan Pass, Xu Ming and the three of them did not encounter any more trouble, and it only took two days to cross the Jingliang border and come to Yumen Pass.

After Yumen Pass was returned to Jingguo as a dowry from Liangguo, Jingguo has been repairing this ancient Xiongguan. As an important pass on the western border between Jingliang and Liang, the return of Yumen Pass means that Jingguo does not need to station too many soldiers in Longxi to guard the western border, and it is also a symbol that Liangguo uses to express its alliance with Jingguo and never have two hearts.

In any case, now Jingguo attaches great importance to Yumen Pass, even no less than Jinling.

When Xu Ming entered the Yumen Pass, he even felt a little unreal as if he was in another world. The streets of Kannai are paved with stone slabs, and the streets are full of people, the pavilions on both sides are lit up, and many shops that have just opened are hanging banners and hyping them.

"Is this really Yumen Pass?" If it weren't for the towering city wall behind him, Xu Ming would have even thought that they were back in Jinling.

The three of them were surprised by the prosperity of Yumen Pass and walked towards the city.

"There is also an inn here!" Xu Ming was a little surprised but not surprised, after all, even Loulan Pass already had an inn.

"Xiao Er, why is Yumen Pass so prosperous now, I heard that this place used to be very desolate. Xu Ming booked the room and called the shopkeeper to ask about the jade gate.

"Guest officer, it's the first time you've come to Longxi!" Xiao Er knew that Xu Ming was a distinguished guest with a purple card, and he didn't dare to slack off with a smile: "Since this Yumen Pass returned to our Jingguo, we have a foothold in Longxi, and we also have a barrier in the west of our country. Later, in order to develop Longxi, the imperial court organized immigrants and mobilized major chambers of commerce to go to Longxi to operate trade. Not only Yumen Pass, but also the entire Longxi, and even the counties in Guanzhong are such a scene. ”

(Explanation in the book: Longxi means the west of Longshan, which is a mountain range in the west of Jingliang and Liang, and the area west of the mountain range is called Longxi.) Liangguo has Longxi County, and Yumen Pass belonged to Longxi County before it was returned to Jingguo. ）

"The development of the western region?" Xu Ming sighed: "Yes, who came up with this idea?"

Xiao Er's face was embarrassed: "This, how can the little one know? But I heard that it was the princess." ”

"Chen Yuanyuan, or Chen ~ Eyu and the princess?"

"It is said that it was the idea of the side concubine. ”

Xu Ming nodded: "Sure enough, it's my cheap sister!"

"By the way, who is the guard of this Jade Gate Pass?" Xu Ming asked Xiao Er again.

"Guest officer, do you want to ask the garrison general or the person in charge of this Yumen Pass?" asked Xiao Er.

Xu Ming was a little puzzled: "Is there any difference?"

Xiao Er smiled: "Of course there is a difference. Yumen Pass is different from other passes, the general guarding the pass is not the principal, the general Ma who guards the pass is only in charge of the defense of Yumen Pass, and the management of the affairs of the pass is the governor of Longxi specially sent by the imperial court, not only Yumen Pass, the entire Longxi is in charge of this governor!"

After hearing this, Xu Ming frowned, and waved his hand to let Xiao Er retreat.

"It's a little tricky. Xu Ming was a little difficult: Li Guogong asked him to hand over the letter to the guard of Yumen Pass, was it General Ma or the governor of Longxi?

"Guogong should have no reason not to know that Jingguo has the position of Governor of Longxi in Longxi!" Xu Ming thought of what Liu Zihao said, Guogong had no last resort, and nodded secretly: "Then it is probably this General Ma." ”

The appeal of consumption to girls is limitless. Xu Ming and Chu Feng deeply realized this.

Guan Chunuan, who had no partner, seemed even more interested, like a hare scurrying around in the market. Xu Ming and Chu Feng followed behind and were responsible for carrying things.

Xu Ming protested and explained that Ming could be packed in Qiankun bags and did not have to carry it, but Guan Chunuan did not follow it, and insisted that Xu Ming carry the big bags and small bags, Chu Feng hid aside and snickered. Li Yu'an is not there, and no one can control Chu Feng's smoking addiction. He smoked a cigarette and looked contented.

"This girl, how can I help you?" Guan Chunuan was choosing a magic weapon in the Yanyu Pavilion. Suddenly, a man walked up to her, smiling and asking her.

Yanyu Pavilion is an industry under the Muru Chamber of Commerce, and it is also a national chain in Dajing, where magic weapons and spiritual materials are sold. Muru Chamber of Commerce and Muyun Chamber of Commerce are equally famous, and are known as the two major chambers of commerce in Jingguo. It's just that in recent years, the Muyun Chamber of Commerce has gradually risen and gradually suppressed the Muru Chamber of Commerce, but the Muru Chamber of Commerce is still a behemoth.

"No, thank you. Guan Chunuan smiled and rejected the man in front of him.

The man didn't show the slightest displeasure, but continued: "Girl, I see that you have been here for a long time, you should want to buy a magic weapon but don't know how to choose!" The man still smiled: "I am more familiar here, I can give you some recommendations." ”

The man's attitude is very good, and he is polite and humble, Guan Chunuan still has no objection to him. She also smiled and shook her head: "No need, I'll just see it myself." ”

"This treasure fan, the fan bone is made of the dragon perch of the Han Dynasty, the fan surface is made of snow cicada wings, the painting on this fan is painted by Mr. Wu Daozi's high apprentice Zhang Yu, and the pattern of the cicada wings is like a whole, it is natural, although it is made by a little-known refiner, but the flaws are not concealed, girls use such a magic weapon, both beautiful and practical. The man picked up the fan in the middle of the counter and introduced it to Guan Chunuan. At the end, he also said: "I am familiar with the boss here, so I can charge you less spirit stones." ”

"Thank you, the fan is beautiful, but no more. Guan Chunuan looked at the fan, waved his hand, and rejected the man.

The man thought that Guan Chunuan had taken a fancy to the fan, and said with a smile: "In this way, if the girl doesn't bring enough spirit stones, this fan will be paid for by Zaixia, and it should be given to the girl." ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but don't worry, we are not familiar with each other yet, and we can't afford such a valuable gift. Dealing with such a stalker, Guan Chunuan had no experience, she subconsciously looked around, looking for Xu Ming's figure.

"The girl and I hit it off at first sight, and this fan is considered a greeting gift!" the man said, calling the shopkeeper who was standing on the side, ready to buy the fan.

"This fellow Daoist, there is already a Taoist companion below, and I am now choosing a magic weapon for him, and I can't afford the gift of a fellow Daoist. Guan Chunuan had no choice, so he had to say that he already had a Taoist companion and wanted him to retreat.

"Is the girl afraid that your Taoist companion will misunderstand? No, won't he be suspicious of the girl just because I gave you a small gift?" The man showed a slightly surprised expression, and said with some loss: "That's really sorry girl, I didn't know that your Taoist companion is a somewhat cautious person." ”

If Xu Ming was here, he would definitely be able to recognize it immediately, this was a green tea, but after all, Guan Chunuan was just a simple little girl, and her Taoism was still shallow, so she was stunned by the man.

"No, no, no. Guan Chunuan was a little embarrassed, and even a little guilty: "No, no, alas!"

"Chu Feng of the dog day, return the Lao Tzu cigarette!" Just when Guan Chunuan didn't know what to say, a familiar voice sounded downstairs in the Yanyu Pavilion.

Guan Chunuan ran to the side of the bed and looked downstairs. Xu Mingzheng and Chu Feng squatted next to the Yanyu Pavilion to grab a cigarette, and scolded in their mouths: "TMD, this Yanyu Pavilion is still a chain store, and there is not even a stool, when do you have to complain." ”

"Xu Ming!" Xu Ming couldn't help but shudder when he heard the girl's voice, and he looked up at Guan Chunuan. The girl's eyes were red, as if she had been wronged by something.

"What's the matter? don't worry, I'll come up right away!" Xu Ming panicked, didn't care about arguing with Chu Feng, turned around and ran into the Smoke and Rain Pavilion. Chu Feng didn't move, and continued to smoke halfway through the cigarette.

The man upstairs looked at Xu Ming, who hurriedly ran into the Yanyu Pavilion, sneered, and waited quietly for him to come upstairs at the top of the stairs where his eyes shifted.
