Chinese dining table

Chapter 566 The old friend met, three liters of tears

Jiaohe City stands on a platform more than five feet above the ground.

The underground of the platform is the confluence of two rivers, one east and one west. It is because of the erosion of these two rivers over time that the special landform of Jiaohe City that is easy to defend and difficult to attack has been created.

This is an extremely ancient city, which was originally the capital of Cheshi Kingdom in the Western Regions. The whole city is in the shape of a willow leaf, three miles long from north to south, and a hundred feet wide from east to west.

It is a rammed earth city that is very common in the Western Regions, and its layout is similar to that of Chang'an City.In the city, there are market wells, government offices, Buddhist temples, pagodas, streets and alleys, as well as workshops, folk houses, military training grounds, and trenches for hiding soldiers.

The number of residents in the city exceeds [-], and it can be called a rare giant city in the Western Regions.

At Wang Fangyi's request, Yunchu and his party, after removing their armor, entered this extremely important city for the Anxi Governor.

Jiaohe City is a very lively place, and all the caravans who are going to enter Datang to do business use this place as their starting point.

Therefore, as long as you can see goods from the Western Regions in Chang'an, you can find them here, but the price is less than [-]% of Chang'an's.

After seeing this scene, the workers in the caravan were all a little happy and overwhelmed.

Just now entering the Western Regions, there will be ten times the benefits, which is too encouraging for them. If at this time, the goods they brought here are exchanged for Western Region goods and brought back, once in a while, after the travel expenses are removed, at least There are three times the benefits.

However, none of the caravan workers were tempted by this profit, because when they came, the shopkeeper made it very clear that this business activity should at least have more than ten times the profit, so as to live up to their painstaking efforts.

Pei Xingjian did not come to greet Yunchu at the gate of the city. This guy has become more and more arrogant since he went to the Western Regions to serve as the Protector of Anxi.

Just when Yunchu and Wenrou were annoyed by Pei Xingjian's rudeness, a mighty team of monks appeared on the loess street in front of them.

There were not only monks, but also nuns. Some burly monks who looked more like bandits held umbrellas and chariots. In front of the carriage.

Eighteen eminent monks of Shaolin Temple put on their bronze armor at this time, and after taking off their bamboo hats, each of them revealed their shiny black heads and necks with gnarled muscles, and the iron rods in their hands were even more shiny after being polished by the wind and sand. .

"Welcome to the Buddha Dharma."

The headed old monk clasped his hands together, saluted Naha's carriage, and then made a sound. Immediately, amidst the Sanskrit singing of the monks, Yun Chu looked suspiciously at the man in the lotus dress, wearing a lotus crown, and holding a lotus flower in his hand. Naha, who was wearing lotus shoes, poked out a foot from the carriage with no expression on her face, and stepped on the broad backs of the Shaolin monks who were kneeling on one knee. After walking eighteen steps, her foot It landed on the walking chariot inlaid with the eight treasures of Buddhism.

Then he sat cross-legged, shook the lotus lantern in his hand, and was carried away by four bald monks, followed by a pure white camel, and the sound of Sanskrit singing continued.

Speaking of which, Yun Chu saw such a big personal display scene when Wu Meifeng was behind.

After Naha sat on the chariot, she became a Buddha. It was difficult for Yunchu to understand the smile on the child's face. It was a smile that could give people a sense of aloofness. I felt that her eyes were full of compassion.

Yunchu never knew that the bowl was not only used for drinking and eating, but also a musical instrument. Monks and nuns knocked on their rice bowls and carried Naha away from Yunchu.

Then, Yunchu saw Xiao Yuhua and Afanti also walking behind, not to mention that they walked cleanly, without any nostalgia for Zhong Kui, the master.

Pei Xingjian, who didn't know when he came, stood beside Yunchu and said, "I didn't come because I didn't want to embarrass you.

Tsk tsk, look at your sister's ostentation, the yellow canopy, the wing screen with peacock feathers, the feet don't touch the ground, the lotus grows every step, the Sanskrit sounds are enveloped, and the sound of praise soars to the sky. If you are in the Tang Dynasty, you will definitely be one. Charge of trespass, beheaded. "

Yun Chu said: "Didn't you always claim to be a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty? Why, you just turned a blind eye to it."

Pei Xingjian said embarrassingly: "The affairs of Buddhism don't count, let's go back and talk about the plan to get rich."

Pei Xingjian is already 40 years old. If people of this age have friendship, they don't need to maintain it too deliberately, and they can naturally maintain it, because everyone has already integrated into each other's life, so there is no need to be too deliberate.

In addition, the positions are roughly the same, so it is natural to talk about interests.

Yunchu arrived at the yamen of Anxi Governor, a safe place surrounded by troops.

There is no need to lead, Yunchu, Wenrou, and Zhong Kui went straight to the back house, and then entered the small door, and the three of them came out at the same time.

Pei Xingjian, who was following behind, laughed loudly and said, "Brothers have the righteousness to make money. You have been coveting Gongsun for so long, but are you hesitant to face these beauties?"

He said softly and contemptuously: "These women are not the property left to you by the previous Anxi Governor?"

Referring to Pilou Wuche, the previous protector of Anxi, Pei Xingjian said indifferently: "It is inappropriate for a barbarian to rule a barbarian after all."

Gentlely said: "His background is not simple. Although he is Qihu on the bank of the Yellow River, he was able to serve as the commander of the personal guard under Emperor Taizong back then. His loyalty is still guaranteed."

Pei Xingjian sneered and said: "Human rule by barbarians will only make the Western Regions more barbaric. This is innate, and it is no different from Sinicization. It is also one of the sources of the incompatibility between the Western Regions and the Central Plains."

Yun Chu stretched his neck and glanced at Pei Xingjian's back house again, and said, "You're about to be humiliated, how dare you criticize others?"

Pei Xingjian said again: "The Han people often use too violent methods to rule the Hu. This is also the source of the discord between the Western Regions and the Central Plains."

Rourou stared at Pei Xingjian with widened eyes and said, "So, you plan to imitate King Wen of Zhou and give birth to 99 mixed-race sons, and then use these mixed-race sons to govern the Western Regions?"

Yun Chu laughed and cupped his hands, "I have trouble, I have trouble."

Pei Xingjian scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "These are all presented by the feudal lords from all over the country. They have been delivered before I come, so it's not good if I don't accept them."

Rou Rou turned to Yun Chu and said, "Why don't we two have this kind of treatment? Or are those vassal kings looking down on others?"

Zhong Kui narrowed his eyes and said, "You can use this as an excuse to cut it down."

Pei Xingjian waved his hands again and again and said, "Don't be foolish. In the past, the Anxi Army of the Tang Dynasty used too many troops in the Western Regions, and the Huihe people often used the name of our Tang Dynasty to invade the pastures of other tribes at will, which caused all tribes in the Western Regions to respect our Tang Dynasty strategy.

When a certain family came to the Western Regions this time, they planned to focus on appeasement, followed by military raids, and they will settle down for a few years before talking about it. "

Yun Chu looked at Pei Xingjian and said, "What have you heard?"

Pei Xingjian smiled wryly and said: "There are rumors in Chang'an that Changsun Wuji wants to rebel, and the official censor reported the matter to His Majesty, and His Majesty said: nonsense."

Spreading his hands softly, he said: "Since your Majesty said it was nonsense, someone should find evidence at this time to prove that he is not nonsense. This is the basic method for the censors to do things."

Pei Xingjian smiled wryly and said: "Convict someone first, and then find evidence based on this crime. I don't think it's too difficult. What do you guys think?"

This kind of thing Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Di Renjie have done a lot, so they naturally know the process, it's really not difficult.

Yun Chu said: "So you plan to hide in the Western Regions for a while?"

Pei Xingjian spread his hands and said: "Naturally, now, all the ministers in the court are proud of going to the local government. No one wants to stay in the court hall and go to the court tremblingly every day."

Rourou burst out laughing, pointed at Pei Xingjian and said: "We seem to be taking the initiative to go out to avoid disaster, but we don't know that the reason why we can come out is completely arranged by His Majesty.

After all, only those of us who are outside can rebels and thieves dare to show up and do things they want to do but dare not do. "

Yun Chu looked tenderly and said: "General Pei didn't even prepare a banquet, and our group was full of dust, and we didn't drink a sip of meat or wine, you just talk so much, it's not a loss. "

Pei Xingjian naturally prepared banquets, singing and dancing, not only Yunchu, Wenrou, Zhong Kui, Zhang Donghai, Liang Ying, but also officials from the eighth rank and above of the Anxi Governor's Mansion, and even people from the governor's yamen of Xizhou. took two.

Yun Chu didn't see Fang Zheng, and was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it for a while, he immediately understood that Fang was waiting for him to visit.

Jiaohe City was the residence of Anxi Governor, while Xizhou Inspector was stationed in Gaochang City. Gaochang City was also called Gaochangbi and Gaochang Fort. It was also a rammed earth city, only sixty miles away from Jiaohe City.

No matter what Yun Chu's appearance is now, he should be the one who visited Fang Zheng who has been kind to him. Only by doing this and showing that he has the intention of continuing to communicate, can everyone continue their relationship.

The Western Region delicacies prepared by the Duhu Mansion are very good, among which the most famous ones are the several dishes made by Yunchu in Qiuci, among which the mutton noodles, strips, and mutton rice are the most comforting to the hearts of long-distance travelers.

A worker from Xizhou Governor's Mansion carefully held a wine glass and said to Yunchu: "Your Majesty heard that Junhou was famous in the Western Regions for being good at making delicious food when he was serving in Kucha. related?"

Yunchu heard the words, smiled slightly, put down the wine glass in his hand and said with a little reminiscence: "You don't know, when a certain family left the Sai tribe that raised me for many years, came to Kucha alone, with a horse, and lived in panic. At that time, I met Brother Fangzheng, the commander of the Kucha Pass. Seeing that I was living in a panic, he stopped and asked me: "Is it the son of the Han family?"
I replied: A certain person is Yun Chu from the Tang Dynasty.

Brother Fangzheng laughed and said: Since I am from Tang Dynasty, why do I have no food and clothing?

After that, he took me to the Daguanling Yamen... To this day, thinking about it, it still makes a certain family cry. "

After Yunchu finished speaking, he raised his sleeve and touched his eyes, as if there were really tears there.

Before Yunchu put down his sleeves, someone outside the curtain shouted: "Brother Yuchu, you miss me so much."

Before the words finished, a fat figure appeared outside the curtain, crying and howling towards Yun Chu who got up to greet him.
