The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"You mean it, I can't wait any longer." The middle-aged man said anxiously.

"That is to say, that is to say, at that time, the people of the Tang Dynasty had a sudden difficulty with a master, and at this moment, several masters suddenly..." The man began to speak slowly.

At this time, Wang's servant was dressed in a costume from the Western Regions, pretending to be a Western Regions person, and was eating in this restaurant.

When the man started talking, Wang's servant already understood that the master of the Tang Dynasty that the man was talking about was probably Zhong Wen.

After several days of inquiring, Wang's servant finally heard the news about Zhong Wen again in Kucha Kingdom.

Wang's servant listened to the slow speaking of the Kucha man, but he was anxious in his heart. Just as he was about to ask questions, the man finally came to the conclusion.

"You don't know, that battle was really dark, until the soldiers appeared, we had to leave, but those masters fought from the city to outside the city, until dozens of miles away, the day before yesterday, I also heard , Several corpses were found dozens of miles away." After the man took a sip of wine, he told the final result.

"Oh? How about those corpses? Is there a person from the Tang Dynasty?" After the middle-aged man heard about this, he was still most concerned about the person from the Tang Dynasty.

It can be said that the countries in the Western Regions don't like the people of the Tang Dynasty very much.

It can be said that they are very fancy about the wealth of Tang people.

If it weren't for the strength of the Tang State, they might have gathered to attack the Tang State long ago.

Even if you can't attack, you have to grab it again.

Just like the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, every time they pass through the Western Regions, the horse thieves from the Western Regions will attack the Tang Kingdom's caravan.

Whether it's from the Western Regions or from foreign countries.

They always like the porcelain of Tang State, the taste of tea of ​​Tang State, and all kinds of silk cloth of Tang State.

As long as these things are shipped to various countries, they are things that the nobles of these countries can afford, and the price is absolutely gratifying.

"There is no body of the Tang man, and I don't know that the Tang man was not injured." The man responded after hearing the words.

At this point, Wang's servant's hanging heart finally fell.

As soon as he heard that there were several corpses outside the city, his heart was suspended.

Although there are not many masters in the Western Regions, according to what he learned from the shadow of his royal servant, Emperor Kang of the Western Regions is a master of the eleventh level of the Innate Realm, and Emperor Kang has been in the eleventh level of the Innate Realm for ten years. Long.

With such an accumulation of skill and internal energy, it is not far from a breakthrough.

He could imagine that at that time, Zhong Wen was dealing with such a top-level master in the innate realm, and being able to fight from the city to the outside of the city already showed that Zhong Wen's martial arts could also fight against him.

Afterwards, Wang's servant also asked the man some questions.

Fortunately, the king's servant is proficient in many languages ​​in the Western Regions, and he can even speak Turkic. What's more, the king's servant can even speak some Persian languages.

Wang's servant, other things may not be very good, but this language talent is quite remarkable.

If it is placed in modern times, the king's servant may even be a master of language.

After the meal, the king's servant settled the bill, and went out of the city like a merchant from the Western Regions.

He didn't stop until the time when Zhong Wen and Kang Di fought against each other.

The smell of blood is still very strong, and the traces are also obvious.

"It seems that Jiu Shou met Kangdi, the number one expert in the Western Regions. The saber marks are so powerful, and the battle is very fierce." Wang's servant looked at the saber marks on the ground and praised in his heart.

After searching for several times, Wang's servant was unable to determine where Zhong Wen had gone, and finally had to run in the direction of Anguo Shiguo.

Half a month later, Wang's servant stood on the top of a small hill at the westernmost end of the Tianshan Mountains with a haggard face, looking helplessly at the vast mountain.

"Where did the nine poems go? I have visited all the countries in the Western Regions. Why have there been no news after arriving in Kucha?" Wang's servant searched for half a month, but there was no news about it for half a month. Any news from Zhong Wen made him feel helpless.

"It seems that I have to go back to the country of Kucha to investigate." Wang's servant made up his mind, jumped up and went straight to the country of Kucha.

With such a search method by Wang's servant, it is estimated that even those who search for half a year may not be able to find Zhong Wen.

Speaking of Zhong Wen at this time, he was in a dark cave in the Tianshan Mountains.

Everyone is in the cave, how could there be news.

During this period of time, Zhong Wen has always wanted to leave, but he has never been able to find a chance to leave.

Every time Zhong Wen told Li Zhu that he wanted to leave, Li Zhu put down a sentence, "You can go, as long as you can reach the top level of the innate realm, the teacher will let you go, if you can't reach it, you can also go, As long as you can get through my mechanism, the teacher will not stop you. '

For this reason, Zhong Wen really wanted to break into the mechanism, but he didn't dare.

It's not how powerful the agency is, but because Li Zhu is there. As Li Zhu's disciple, Zhong Wen can't just leave as soon as he says it.

Even if he called out Second Master, anyway, this was what Zhong Wen was willing to do.

Chapter 555 A Family Enters Chang'an City for the First Time

Speaking back to Zhong Mugen's family, they have already arrived in the distance of Chang'an City.

Xiao Hua sat at the front of the carriage, excitedly pointed to Chang'an City in the distance, and shouted to her parents inside the carriage: "Dad, Mom, look, there is Chang'an City."

"Is that Chang'an City over there?" Xiu poked her head out and looked at Chang'an City in the distance with a look of shock on her face.

For a country woman like her, it was rare to see Lizhou City once, let alone Chang'an City.

She never thought that she would come to Chang'an City, and it is estimated that she will live in Chang'an City for a long time in the future.

No matter if it is a woman or an unmarried girl, everyone hopes to take a look at Chang'an City, even if it is just a glimpse.

And the show is still the same.

"Sister, is it fun?" Xiao Wu heard Xiao Hua's cry, and hurriedly got out, looking at Chang'an City in the distance and asked.

Although Xiao Wu was almost two years old, he didn't speak very clearly.

But in Xiao Wu's eyes, whether Longquan Village or Chang'an City, to him, it's just a stone city.

Playing is his main idea.

Of course, he also had some curiosity.

Curious why Chang'an City in the distance is so big.

"It's fun, it must be fun. After arriving in Chang'an City, I'll take you to eat delicious food." Xiao Hua excitedly said to Xiao Wu.

"Hello, sister." He showed a big smile.

"Commander Li, let's go and advance to Chang'an City." Although Zhong Mugen was also shocked by the momentum of Chang'an City, he didn't show much shock.

Li Shan got the instructions and rode forward on horseback.

After more than half an hour, the carriage entered Chang'an City.

"There are so many people? Xiao Wu, hurry to A Niang's place, don't move around." Xiu looked at the street outside the carriage, so many pedestrians, and pulled Xiao Wu into her arms nervously.

"Aniang, there are not many talents here, but there are many talents in the West Market. In two days, I will take Auntie to the West Market. There are many shops, there are many foreign merchants, and..." Xiaohua Still sitting in the front of the car, he introduced Chang'an City to his aunt.

As for what Xiaohua said, Xiu just listened to it.

She didn't know where the West Market was, let alone heard that there were people from other countries, which made Xiuxin worried.

A country woman with little experience, when she finds out that there are foreigners, the first thing she is nervous about is her son and daughter.

The daughter is fine, but the son is less than one year old.

If she was abducted by the Fanbang people, she would die of grief as a mother.

In her perception, most of the things she heard in the past were other countries attacking Tang, burning, killing, looting and so on.

But she didn't know that the Tang Kingdom today was no longer what it used to be.

When the Fanbang people came to Tang, they could be said to be several levels lower than the Tang people, not to mention that this was Chang'an City, which Fanbang people dared to seek trouble in Chang'an City?

"Aniang, don't worry, have you seen that there are soldiers patrolling the streets, but no one dares to make trouble." Xiaohua knew that her aunt was a little timid, so she hurriedly said to her aunt.

"Soldiers?" Xiu looked in the direction Xiaohua pointed, and became even more nervous when he saw a group of soldiers.

"Aniang, these are soldiers patrolling the streets. They specialize in dealing with fights and troubles. They don't dare to do anything to us. Besides, I'm still a county lord. You can ask Commander Li, he knows better than me." Xiaohua saw her mother Seeing those soldiers was even more nervous.

"Ma'am, what Xiaohua said is that these soldiers will only protect you, but they dare not mess with you." Li Shan, who had already dismounted, rode the horse with one hand while listening to the voices of the family.

"So that's how it is." Xiu got Li Shan's response, and felt relieved.

"Mother, mother, look." At this moment, Xiao Wu suddenly saw a caravan of camels, and shouted happily, pointing at the caravan of camels.

There are no camels in Lizhou.

Zhong Mugen's family had never seen these things before, so they were very surprised when they looked at them.

"Xiao Wu, that's a camel. This is a caravan from the Western Regions." After seeing Xiao Hua, she introduced it to her family.

As the carriage went all the way to Yongping Square, Xiao Hua also introduced Chang'an City to her family all the way.

When passing by Xishi West Street, he even jumped off the carriage and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Li Shan didn't care at all about Xiao Hua sneaking into the West Market.

When he entered Chang'an City, he had already followed some spies of Baiqisi.

And after Xiao Hua jumped off the carriage and headed towards West Market, those Bai Qisi's spies would naturally follow.

Li Shan didn't care, but it didn't mean that Zhong Mugen and his wife didn't care, they shouted anxiously, "Xiao Hua, Xiao Hua, come back, come back."

"Madam, there is no need to be nervous. No one dares to do anything to Xiao Hua. I have already informed people to follow." Seeing that Xiu was nervous, Li Shan quickly explained to Xiu.

"This girl is getting worse and worse." Zhong Mugen in the carriage was originally annoyed by Xiao Hua's behavior, but after getting Li Shan's explanation, he felt a little more at ease.

Not long after, Xiaohua ran back with some things in her hand, "Daddy, Mommy, Xiaowu, here, I bought this in the West Market, and it was brought over from the Western Regions."

Xiaohua went straight to the West Market, of course to buy some food for her family.

Although a little anxious, but Xiaohua's heart is good, at least not playful.

"You, you, you can't do this again in the future." Xiu Jian wanted to blame Xiao Hua after she came back, but she didn't know how to say it.

Zhong Mugen will not blame Xiaohua in front of outsiders.

"Sister, it's delicious." But Xiao Wu didn't care about this, took the thing Xiao Hua handed him, and after taking a big bite, he showed a big smile.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the gate of the County Marquis Mansion.

When the carriage stopped, Xiao Hua jumped down again and slammed the gate of the County Marquis Mansion.

"Little lady?" The ear door was opened, and a head stuck out, seeing that it was Xiao Hua who knocked on the door outside, the concierge was both surprised and delighted.

"Haha, I'm back. Hurry up and find Steward Xu. My father and mother have come to Chang'an too, oh, and my younger brother." Xiao Hua was also very happy to see the porter.

"Ah? My boss is here too? I'll go and inform the butler right now." The concierge was startled when he got Xiao Hua's words, and then rushed to the mansion immediately.

Coincidentally, Xu Fu reconciled accounts at the mansion today, but he did not leave.

Recently, Xu Fu is both busy and happy.

Before Zhong Wen's brothers and sisters left Chang'an, Xu Fu received Zhong Wen's instructions to open more restaurants.

And Xu Fu really cared about it, and used the money in the mansion to open three restaurants in a row. Up to now, including Huilai Restaurant, there are four.

As for these four restaurants, there are two in the east and two in each.

He even set up a caravan going to the coast to get some seafood for these four restaurants. Of course, there must be some seasonings.

Although it is only a month since the opening of these three restaurants.

But in this month, the money earned by the family is definitely not a small amount, which makes Xu Fu happy every day.

Just today, he called all the new shopkeepers of the four restaurants to the mansion to reconcile the accounts, so as to count how much the four restaurants earned this month.

"Housekeeper, the total amount of copper coins that my Huimin restaurant earned last month was 830, 520, [-] coins. Do you think this amount is correct?"

"Housekeeper, the total amount of copper coins my Huifeng Restaurant earned last month was 670 to 110 coins. Do you think this amount is correct?"

"Housekeeper, the total amount of copper coins that my Huili Restaurant earned last month was [-] and [-] Wen. Do you think this amount is correct?"

"Housekeeper, the total amount of copper coins I earned in Huilai Restaurant last month was 190 to 760 coins. Do you think this amount is correct?"

The four new shopkeepers reported to Xu Fu the amount of money in each restaurant last month.

At first glance, it sounds like a lot.

But this cost is also quite large.

Today's County Marquis Mansion, with these four restaurants, has more and more people, four or five times more than before.

Even the new shopkeeper was appointed by Xu Fu himself, and they all signed the contract of sale. It can be said that this is a member of the County Marquis Mansion.

Although the man is from the County Marquis Mansion, he still has to be paid.

Moreover, the wages of the people who work in the restaurant are two or three times higher than the market price, and there are rewards.
