Chapter 36: West Market
As the Spring Festival approaches, the weather is getting warmer.
A very secluded courtyard with a small pond in the southwest corner, not frozen, with koi swimming happily.
There are green bamboos on the shore, swaying in the wind.
The waning moon on the horizon is like a hook, and occasionally clouds float by!
Wen Wan stood by the pond and looked at the moon curving in the sky.
"It's like the Sword of the God of War!"
......
Someone pushed the door in, and Wen Wan turned around.
It was an elder with immortal wind bones, his hair was tied, he was wearing a cyan robe, and his hands were on his back.
"Master!"
"Well, how's your injury?"
"It's no big deal, thank you for your help!"
"You can be healed after a few days of meditation and cultivation, and you want to think about this stinky boy again?"
"I don't think about him, he's drunk and gentle all day long, and he's very comfortable!"
"He's been able to do this very well, and it's exceeded my expectations!"
"Then you don't have to be so intimate with that woman, do you? I'm going to kill him!"
"Hahaha! Are you willing? Otherwise, you won't be injured before you heal, so you are in a hurry to run!"
"I miss you!"
"You want this stinky boy, it's to avoid Li Cunxiao, don't use the master as an excuse!"
"Master, you can't favor this little idiot like this! I'm going to kill him when I meet!"
"Don't be in a hurry to see him first, he won't be in any danger for the time being, he can stand in the capital, it's beyond my expectations, you see him now will ruin the situation in front of you!"
"Isn't that Southern Heavenly King Mingyuexin investigating him? In case the two of them meet, where is he the opponent of that crazy woman!"
"Now Yang Zhaojun can protect him, Mingyuexin's energy is not in him, Wang Qianhe and Xiao Chaotian can't take care of him, besides, in an emergency, Sima Wuxian will help, but after the Spring Festival, when Xiao Chaotian leaves Beijing, something may happen!"
"With you watching, no one can hurt him!"
"I'm about to leave, an old man is coming, I have to stop him, you have to be careful for a while. ”
"I don't care! You got him here, if he has any damage, you must be responsible!"
"You girl, you haven't married yet! I'm just blocking that person for him! If that person enters Beijing, it will bring a storm, and I'm afraid that the entire Tang Empire will be shaken!"
"Who is it?"
"Yuan Tianxin, although he is only here for the Siping Knife, but Xiao Chaotian is also here, if they meet, I am afraid that Xiao Chaotian may immediately rebel!"
"Yuwen Feiyang and Yuan Qingqiu's master?
"Yes, when I'm not here, you must remember, don't touch Yuan Qingqiu! The sword in his hand is the inheritance of Yuan Tianxin, only the Siping Sword can resist, you are not an opponent!"
"Isn't that under you, he has no rival?"
"Yes, as long as that divine weapon is in his hand, only the sword of the god of war can resist it!"
"Well, so powerful, isn't that idiot dangerous?"
"I'll be back as soon as I can, be careful!"
"yes, I see!"
......
Li Xiaobai doesn't know where Wen Wan is, she doesn't know how her injury is, and every time in the dead of night, she always misses her very much.
Lovesickness is not visible, it is a very painful thing, Li Xiaobai buried the lovesickness in the bottom of his heart, because in the capital, in the whirlpool, you must be careful everywhere, dare not be careless.
Li Xiaobai understands that the reason why he is still safe for the time being is that in addition to Mrs. Allen's spare no effort to protect him, the main reason is that he has not met those big people.
Now he is still too weak, these people, the general Xiao Chaotian, the prime minister Yang Hanwen, and even Wang Qianhate, as long as they are targeted by any of them, they are all fierce.
But it can't go on like this forever, you have to find out something, especially about Wang Qian's hatred, which is the main purpose of coming to the capital.
He decided to go to the West Market to have a look, just to take a look, and for the sake of caution, he called Yang Buyi together.
"Little brother, the West Market is a good place, more prosperous than the East Market, and there are many foreign beauties, which has a unique flavor!
"It seems that Brother Yang has gone a lot!"
"Where! My brother has a lot of things, how can he have so much time, and you know the one in the family, he is strictly in charge!"
"Hahaha! Big brother is so blessed!"
......
The two rode horses, talked and laughed and came to the West Market.
The west city of Chang'an City is more common people and looks noisy, but it is also more popular, and the west city is also more prosperous than the east market.
What's more special is that it is out of the West City Gate, which is a trade route between various countries and the Tang Empire, so it is also full of exotic customs.
The Tang Empire was prosperous, self-confident and tolerant, so whether it was the Western Regions, the Northern Plains, the East China Sea, or the Southern Mountains, merchants from all over the country gathered in Chang'an.
Li Xiaobai and Yang Buyi handed over the horses to their entourage, and the two of them walked on the streets of Xishi.
The east city covers an area of four squares, and the west market is larger, accounting for six squares, like a city within a city.
Li Xiaobai was dazzled and dizzying.
"Brother Yang, the little brother really opened his eyes, and he thought he was in a foreign country!"
"Yes, you see that the streets are full of people coming and going, bustling, and the Hu people account for nearly half of them, although there are reasons why all countries come to court, they are not bad on weekdays!"
"Well, what a great place!"
The two of them went to a restaurant opened by Hu Ren.
Directly on the second floor, compared to the box on the third floor, it is a little more noisy, and compared to the lobby on the first floor, it is more elegant.
In particular, there is a stage in the middle, and some Fanbang artists are performing.
Li Xiaobai watched with great interest, a Hu man was performing at this time, and after slowly walking around the stage for a week, he stopped in the center, and as his hands danced, a flame ignited, the flame burned, and the figure of the Hu man slowly disappeared, leaving only the fire flickering!
Li Xiaobai was dumbfounded, seeing such thaumaturgy for the first time.
After a while, the head of the Hu man slowly appeared in the firelight, and then the upper body and lower body, the flames were extinguished, and the Hu man bowed and stepped down.
There was warm applause in the restaurant!
Yang Buyi saw Li Xiaobai's incredible expression and smiled slightly.
"It's just an illusion, it's just a skin, it's okay for performance!"
"Brother Yang knows about this strange art?"
"Little brother, the eldest brother has only seen it, you will see the real illusion in the future, it is amazing!
"Really, where can you see a show like this?"
Yang Buyi didn't speak, and winked at Li Xiaobai.
Li Xiaobai didn't understand what it meant, thought about it, and suddenly opened his mouth.
has really reached the level that Yang Buyi said, he must be a top master, how can he show off his skills!
"It seems that Brother Yang knows such a master?"
"Well, there is one in the capital, you may be able to see it soon!"
The two were chatting, and another Fanbang beauty appeared on the stage.
Hold two swords and dance to the music.
Long sleeves fluttering, chic posture, sword light shining, radiant spirit!
Li Xiaobai couldn't help but applaud with others!
The capital is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!
"Hmph, it seems that the Gongsun family is not very happy in Lingnan, and there is no growth in the capital!"
Because the voice was relatively loud, Li Xiaobai also heard it, and looked at the voice, it turned out to be a woman dressed in black and masked in a black veil.
Seeing Li Xiaobai's gaze looking at her, the woman raised her eyebrows and immediately became angry.
Yang Buyi hurriedly waved his hand to Li Xiaobai and no longer paid attention to the other party.
Mingyuexin, the king of the south, saw Li Xiaobai for the first time in the West Market, although he was unhappy, thinking that this was the West Market, he was not too presumptuous, and took people to get up and go downstairs.
Fortunately, Mingyuexin didn't know Li Xiaobai's identity!
Mingyuexin's anger is getting stronger and stronger, there are only a few places in the capital, and he has to restrain himself, and it just so happens that Xishi is one of them.
She got on her horse and led people away, and she had to find a place to vent her anger!
