The strongest collapse system

Chapter 69 Draw the Sword
In the ninth year of Daye, Luoyang City.

Luoyang sits on the south bank of the Yellow River, facing Longmen in the south, Mang Mountain in the north, Lishui in the east, Jianhe River in the west, and Luoshui River running through it.

Therefore, since ancient times, Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Eastern Zhou, Eastern Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, and Northern Wei have established their capitals here successively. Now the Great Sui Dynasty is the ninth generation.

Nine is the ultimate number.

In the dark, the vitality of Luoyang City has reached the point where flowers are blooming, and fire is cooking oil, and it has reached its peak.

Emperor Sui attached great importance to Luoyang, because the ancient city of Luoyang in the Wei and Jin Dynasties was dilapidated, so a new city was built in the west of the ancient city, and a Grand Canal was dug from Yuhang in the south to Zhuojun in the north, running through the north and south.

This canal connects the five major water systems of the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, the Haihe River, the Yangtze River, and the Qiantang River, making the completed Luoyang New City a water transportation center in the world, with more convenient transportation.

At this time, Luoyang naturally became the political, economic and cultural center of the Sui Dynasty.

Luoyang New City is divided into Waiguo City, Huangcheng City, Miyagi City, Hanjiacang City, Yuanbi City, Yaoyi City, Dongcheng City and Shangyang Palace. The circumference of Waiguo City is more than fifty miles, and there are eight gates in total.The northeast and south are Fangshi residential areas, with a total of 103 squares.

Commercial trade is concentrated in the three markets of Nanshi, Xishi, and Beishi in the city, of which Beishi and Nanshi are also commodity distribution centers for trade with other countries.For the convenience of trade, the whole city has canals and canals, and canals are everywhere. The three cities are surrounded by canals that can be used for boats, and can directly lead to the Grand Canal.

Among them, the West Market is the most prosperous, gathering merchants from all over the world, and almost all commodities can be bought here.

When Wang Fan came to Luoyang West Market, what he saw was a desolate look. There were only a few scattered shops open on the market, and there were few people.

"Even the capital city of the Great Sui Dynasty looks like this, let alone those small cities. Although Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty can't be said to be a faint and tyrannical king, he is definitely not a great talent."

Shaking his head, Wang Fan walked to the end of the West Market. At the edge of the West Market was a wharf with dozens of boats moored. Compared with other places, this place was much more lively and crowded with people.

More than a dozen large shops are lined up one after another, with many customers inside. The goods in the shops are dazzling and dazzling.

Seeing this scene, Wang Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Anyone who stays in a desolate ghost town for a long time will feel depressed.

"You bastard Yang Guang is stingy. He actually asked me to go to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers. He didn't intend to pay a single penny, and he meant that he didn't want to give the horses." Wang Fan was a little annoyed, but he felt sad for Yang Guang when he thought about it.

The Sui Dynasty was so big that it couldn't even gather [-] soldiers and [-] horses in a short period of time. This shows how weak the country's power has become.

Wang Fan gathered his mood and began to make the final purchases before carrying forward Yangzhou.

He himself was not very particular about it, so he quickly changed his clothes, which were still rough clothes, not because he didn't want to change into better clothes, but because silk products were priceless nowadays, and the only tailor shop just took out a bolt of silk, They were snatched up by the aunts and aunts next to them.

Wang Fan didn't want to use his martial arts to snap up goods, so he had to make do with it.

However, the saddle of the horse should not be ignored. The saddle, bridle, and whip were all brand new. Even the four horseshoes were replaced by the best pig iron in the iron shop.

"咴咴..."

While Wang Fan was checking out with the owner of the blacksmith shop, the horse outside the shop suddenly neighed.

He looked up, but found that a handsome man in his early 20s was looking at the red horse. He was staring at the red horse, and suddenly felt extremely uneasy, and his hooves pouted.

This man has an extraordinary bearing. He is dressed in a samurai uniform, with a sword on his waist. His face is thin and handsome, but there is a kind of excessive paleness.

"Little brother is the owner of this horse. Under Dugu Policy, I would like to offer a hundred taels of gold to obtain this BMW." Seeing Wang Fan looking over and sizing it up, the young man said sincerely.

Although the tone was sincere, there was a faint sense of oppression on his body, a sense of menace.

In fact, he was threatening.

Originally, Dugu Ce was worried that the owner of this horse was not young, but upon closer inspection, he turned out to be a young man dressed in coarse linen.

So he gave his name.

"Not for sale." Wang Fan's answer was straightforward.

"Little brother, you might as well think about it again." Dugu Ce didn't care, and looked at the iron shop owner beside him.

The owner of the iron shop was sweating all of a sudden, pulled Wang Fan from behind, and said in a low voice, "He is the son of Dugu Feng, the leader of the Dugu Clan. He has a prominent family background. You might as well sell the horse to him, it will save you a lot of trouble."

The iron shop owner actually didn't want to be this evil person, but if he didn't speak out at this time, he would definitely be punished by Dugu Ce afterwards.

"Do you really want to buy this red horse?" Wang Fan asked suddenly after being silent for a while.

"Of course, little brother, you might as well make a price. As long as the price is fair, I can pay the money on the spot." Although he had expected that the young man would give in, Dugu Ce still felt slightly happy to be able to get such a BMW.

As for the asking price, that's just talking. If the other party really dares to offer a high price, then it will be a question of whether they can keep the money.

Even life might be lost.

After all, these days of war and chaos, anything can happen, right?
And it is impossible to trace him to Dugu Ce. Who would go against the Dugu Clan for an unknown ordinary boy?
"Okay, since you want to buy it sincerely, it's not impossible to sell it to you. The gold is 1000 taels, and you pay for it and deliver it." Wang Fan said bluntly.

Wang Fan's current body speed is no weaker than that of the red horse, and he doesn't have deep feelings for the red horse. It doesn't matter if he sells it. In the future, he can also use Qinggong to train his body and build up his true energy.

Wang Fan looked at Dugu Ce with extremely sincere eyes, even more sincere than Dugu Ce's voice just now, as if he was selling his horse sincerely.

But Dugu Ce's face froze, as if he had eaten a disgusting fly.

"Huh, if you don't eat the toast, you will be fined with wine." Dugu Ce shouted coldly, and suddenly took a step forward. Unexpectedly, the sword on his waist was already in his hand, and he suddenly struck Wang Fan with the sword.

The cold sword energy immediately permeated the area for several feet.

If he didn't agree with each other, he made a bold move. Two years ago, he would never have dared to draw a sword at the feet of the emperor, but now the emperor failed to conquer Liaodong, and his prestige was greatly lost. He needed to rely on them to stabilize the situation.

This led to the flourishing of the power of the clan.

As a member of the powerful family, Dugu Ce became unscrupulous in his actions.
