The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 532
Chapter 532
Qinghe Cui's caravan tremblingly headed towards Longwei Mountain.

Along the way, the people of the Cui family in Qinghe looked as if they were all soldiers. Even the sound of wild birds falling on the trees could make Cui's housekeeper jump three feet high in fright.

"Housekeeper, there's no need for you to be so worried. Looking at the surrounding scene, this gang of thugs has obviously left here for a long time."

Wang Gu had dealt with bandits for many years, so he could tell whether there were any signs of banditry in the surrounding area.

However, although this is a very favorable place for bandits to hide, there is no sign of bandits hiding, which makes Wang Gu somewhat puzzled.But this doubt was quickly dispelled by Xie Yidao.

"Yeah, although this place has a good location, maybe it's because everyone's life is not good in this world recently, so these bandits just ran away without a trace."

Although the housekeeper has not seen half of the bandits in Longwei Mountain yet, he still doesn't believe it: "But there are bandits in Longwei Mountain! I know about it!"

A group of people moved forward quietly, except for the steward who communicated with the captains of the two teams, the rest of the followers kept silent and guarded their surroundings.

Inside the forest, there was a dead silence.

On Longwei Mountain.

"Report to the general, people from the caravan have already passed the point we are guarding!" The tiger and leopard cavalry scouts quickly conveyed the news to the main hall in the village.

The stockade was originally the territory of the bandits on Longwei Mountain, but after the butcher Sun died at the hands of King Lanling, the stockade became the foothold of the Tiger and Leopard Knights.

Before Bai Jingyi summoned King Lanling back, King Lanling stayed here first, waiting for Bai Jingyi's next order.

The captain of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry glanced at King Lanling and saw that King Lanling didn't want to speak, so he asked the soldier: "Which family are their caravans? How many people are there?"

"Report to the captain, the caravan is Qinghe Cui's caravan, and it has been confirmed with the shadow guards in the caravan, excluding servants who have little combat power, Qinghe Cui invited three teams totaling more than 700 people to escort the caravan. !"

"700 people?" The captain of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry frowned.

For an ordinary commercial team, there are more than 700 people with armed forces. This battle is already quite outrageous.Qinghe Cui's group is really rich and powerful, they can get so many people to escort them all at once!
It seems that they can earn a lot of money this time, and after paying all the labor costs, there will be a lot of money left over!

Moreover, the scale of the caravan this time is probably the first time in history that the Qinghe Cui family has so many people form a caravan, which is enough to see how important the Qinghe Cui family is to this trade.

This number, no matter how strong the bandits are, is a tough one...

"Where is their caravan now?" the leader of the tiger and leopard cavalry asked.

"They are almost halfway through now, but because of the large number of people, the end of the team has not yet reached our ambush range."

The captain of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry turned to look at King Lanling: "General! Should we fight this time, or not?"

"Do not hit."

King Lanling never talked much.

No matter what the current external situation is, since Bai Jingyi said that the time has not come, then he will not make his own claims.

If Bai Jingyi said he would not fight, he would naturally not order the tiger and leopard cavalry soldiers to rush out.

On the other side, inside Chang'an City.

Although it has been a while since the assassination, the impact was too bad after all, and many civilians were still shrouded in the shadow of the assassination.

But life still has to be taken care of, except that dignitaries and dignitaries don’t have to run out of their homes, commoners still have to go out honestly to beg for food if they need to go out for a few bucks.

So although the street is a little cooler than before, there are still more and more vendors on both sides of the road.

And it was at this time that the people of Chang'an City noticed that there seemed to be more and more people wearing exotic costumes in Chang'an City.

And there are more and more businessmen from other countries. The whole Chang'an seems to be dyed with the colors of other regions. Looking around, it is no longer the same as it was a few days ago.

And it is precisely because there are more and more foreign merchants that the whole Chang'an has gradually become lively.Many people who have been hiding at home couldn't bear the curiosity and walked out of the house, wanting to see those exotic products.

"Recently, there are more and more businessmen in this foreign country. I think there are people wearing all kinds of clothes on the main road. Why is it suddenly so noisy?" A civilian who just bought a bun suddenly asked. The owner of the bun shop.

"Yeah, it's been like this for the past few days. According to those messengers, this is the envoys of other countries. The minister is coming."

"The envoys are coming to court? Which countries are the people coming back from?"

"I don't know this, but what I know is that after the envoys from those countries arrive in a few days, Chang'an City will definitely become much more lively." The boss answered the customer's question with a smile.

In the teahouses on the other side of Chang'an, there are more traffic than on the street.

Many people from other countries came to the teahouse to listen to books.

"There's been more and more of these people wearing weird things lately."

"Yeah, it always makes people feel uneasy, as if something big is about to happen." Another person echoed.

"Don't be crowed! What a big deal! It's just people from a foreign country coming here to do business, don't think so much!"

And the remarks that seem to be talking about these foreign visitors are almost the daily talk of the residents of Chang'an these days.

Some people even began to bet on which countries the envoys who came to the court came from.

Just as the owner of the bun shop said, within a few days, envoys from various countries arrived in Chang'an one after another.

The scene of envoys coming to the court is not weaker than the scene of those caravans of aristocratic families starting out. Many envoy teams even distributed various things to the people along the street when they entered Chang'an.

Many people came here after hearing the news, all planning to share some of these novelties.

The two of Li were in the imperial city, but he knew about the envoy's visit a long time ago, so he was not surprised at all. He just asked Changsun Wuji beside him, "What does Ai Qing think of this envoy's visit?" ?”

Changsun Wuji couldn't figure out what Li Er was thinking, so he just said something ambiguous: "I believe that the envoy's visit this time is an expression of the submission and respect of all countries to my Tang Dynasty, and this matter will definitely be successfully concluded."

Li Er didn't answer, but just took another sip of the tea in front of him.
