The snow was flying, and although there was a biting chill in the air blowing from Luoshui, Luoyang City was filled with people coming and going, and the strong New Year atmosphere filled the whole city. Across more than ten miles, people were already traveling eastward on the official road to Luoyang.

Looking from afar, the imperial capital Luoyang is already far away. When you walk closer, pedestrians can better appreciate the magnificence of the Luoyang city wall. People are under the city, like moving ants.

A convoy was slowly moving on the road. A man in his fifties looked at the endless crowd through the car window. They found that many people with different skin and hair colors from the Central Plains were walking on the road. They were wearing Central Plains clothing, which made people feel a little out of place.

"Head of the family, Luoyang is here!" A tall, powerful old servant shouted loudly, and from his tone, he felt his excitement.

"parking!"

"Here!"

Before the carriage could stop, the man in his fifties walked off the carriage. This man was extremely heroic, gray-haired, short bearded, calm and composed, and his deep eyes were filled with a trace of unexplainable vicissitudes.

He put on the curtain to cover the slightly dazzling snow light, and he also saw the tall city walls entrenched in the snow like dragons.

"It's back!"

After a while, he sighed again, and he couldn't remember how long he had been away from Luoyang, five or ten years?

Looking at this majestic city, he said with infinite emotion in his heart: "Luoyang is magnificent and majestic, even more so than in the past! Especially this outer city block has an inclined slope. When the wood is rolled up, it can crush a large area. The designer of this city wall is very sinister. Brother, how do you think if the troops are at the city, how should you break through?"

"Master, you want to die?" The old servant suddenly changed his face when he heard this, and he whispered: "Be careful."

He looked at the left and right like a falcon, and when he saw no one paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't misfortune come from the mouth, otherwise it will be a bad thing."

"Bad things? What can you do?" The man who was obviously the master shook his head and said, "Since the founding of the Great Sui Dynasty, there has been no order to prohibit speech, and the new law formulated by Emperor Shengwu does not have this. What are you afraid of? Do you dare to kill people randomly?"

"My head of the family! Luoyang knows us a lot!" The majestic old servant said speechlessly.

"Well! I understand." The extraordinary head of the family looked at the majestic Luoyang City and said with melancholy: "We brothers traveled around the world over the years and saw too many miserable human affairs! It was not until we entered the Sui realm that we felt that these were two worlds. What we saw along the way was that the people lived a wealthy life, but they did not lose their toughness. The Great Sui administration was clear and the officials and the people were harmonious, and the military and civilians were harmonious. Even the places where the Great Sui just recovered this year, the people were full of hope. They were far away from being the other princes as good as the Great Sui. If the princes join forces, there would be some victory. If they were enemies, they would be defeated one by one."

"The people have been fighting hard for a long time! Everyone doesn't care who is the emperor. They just hope that the damn war will end soon." The old servant shook his head and sighed.

"Yes! This damn war is over." The head of the family sighed. As the convoy entered Dingding Gate, he saw rows of buildings with different styles but integrated styles, and his expression was stunned, just because people of all kinds were shouting in the shops that were within their eyes.

The head of the family looked ahead curiously and saw two not strong men pushing two trucks of cargo into a shop. Some curiously pulled the old servant beside him and said, "Brother, these two coolies do not look strong. They can actually push so many goods. Could it be that the heroes buried in the wilderness?"

"How do I know, head of the family, we still have something to do, don't miss the time, okay?" the old servant smiled helplessly.

"I'll go and ask." The head of the family ignored his companions' calls and walked forward a few willfully, chasing the shop.

"Dear guest, what do you need to order?"

A Hu Shang with blue eyes and curly hair greeted him with a smile on his face. His half-baked Chinese language made people feel very different.

The head of the family looked at the shelves with a wide range of goods and asked casually: "These are all rare things from the foreign lands of the northwest! This brother is very different from those of me, Middle-earth people, don't know where they come from?"

"Dear distinguished guests, I guess they are from the distant Jiangnan, right?"

"How did you know that we are from Jiangnan?"

"It's very simple! Although the pseudo-Tang and pseudo-Wei have always been enemies with the Great Sui Dynasty, the people under their rule have actually gone to the border counties of the Great Sui Dynasty to buy scarce goods over the years. Therefore, those under the pseudo-Tang and pseudo-Wei are used to us, people with different appearances! They won't ask where I come from! Before the Great Sui Dynasty's court moved south, because the rebels such as Wang Shichong, Li Mi, Dou Jiande were separated by their army, and their fierce army was as fierce as bandits, it was difficult for Jiangnan merchants to reach the territory of the Great Sui Dynasty safely and almost cut off contact with the Great Sui Dynasty. Therefore, the people in Jiangnan did not know that under the Great Sui Dynasty, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of merchants entered the Great Sui Dynasty every year through the Silk Road."

The strange master and servant gasped, looked at each other, and asked again: "When the peace has not yet been pacified, isn't the Holy Martial Emperor afraid of Hu Shang's rebellion?"

"Who dares?"

Hu Shang shook his head and laughed: "In the past, there was no way. Someone could not survive anymore, so he was forced to be a horse thief and rob him on the road! Now everyone can get money with legitimate means. Not only is there no risk, but he can also get more money! In this way, there is no need to bleed or die. What's wrong with this?"

"And, let alone, you dare not be enemies with His Majesty the Holy Martial Emperor of the Great Sui War. Even if you succeed once, what benefits can you get? We buy silk, porcelain, medicine, and tea from the Great Sui Dynasty every year to sell it. Just one trip is enough for the family to spend their whole life. In this way, who is willing to take the risk with his life? Who is willing to live with the money?"

"There are at least two thousand miles from Luoyang to the Western Regions. Aren't you afraid of being robbed halfway?"

"We are not worried about the safety of the Great Sui rule." Hu Shang boss talked: "There are certain risks when leaving the Great Sui territory. However, the emperor and the emperor joined forces with the countries in the Western Regions to form a coalition force to protect the business road! This army was led by the General of the Great Sui army. In order to train the combat capabilities of this army, they usually go to find the bad luck of horse thieves. Now, the most dangerous business on the Silk Road is horse thieves, and they may die at any time. And for us, the real risk is wind, sand and blizzard."

"Silk Road Alliance?" This master and servant seemed to have heard of it for the first time.

"Yes, there are 50,000 Silk Road coalition troops, and the soldiers come from various countries! A few months ago, Khan Murong Fuyun of Tuyuhun sent troops to impersonate horse thieves and attacked dozens of caravans! The great saint Khan sent 30,000 coalition troops to attack Tuyuhun, and Murong Fuyun paid a bloody price. Not only did the remnants of Xue Rengao of Tuyuhun, but Xue Renyue's remnants were wiped out by the coalition forces, but also the Tianzhu King and tens of thousands of troops directly belonging to Tuyuhun. Murong Fuyun begs to surrender, compensated a lot of money, and offered Xue Renyue's head. This is also because the army was forced to withdraw when encountering a blizzard. Otherwise, the country of Tuyuhun would no longer exist."

"Murong Fuyun was beaten again?"

"The Triumph Army returned to Luoyang three days ago, and it has been a buzzing news these days." Hu Shang looked at the other party in confusion and howled, "You don't even know such a big thing, my god!"

The master and servant escaped from the shop in a mess. It seemed that they were so big that this was the first time they were despised by a Hu man.

"Brother, the first time I know I am so ignorant. Let's go and take a look at the imperial capital under the rule of the saint Khan." As he said that, the head of the family started a market with great enthusiasm.

The commercial trade in Luoyang City is concentrated in the three markets of Nanshi, Xishi and Beishi. Among them, Beishi and Nanshi are the main distribution centers of international commodities. For convenient trade exchanges, the three cities are all adjacent to the canal that can be shipped and connected to the Grand Canal. Luoyang Nanshi is the largest commercial market in the Great Sui Dynasty, covering an area of ​​two shops. Like the Beishi, which is only one big, most of them sell luxury goods. There are many residences in the city, and there are a wide range of items, which are mainly for the use of princes and nobles. The West City sells ordinary tea, rice, oil and salt, mainly for daily necessities.

"Oh!" The old servant shook his head. Sooner or later, there would be a big problem. He ordered the convoy to go to Yifengfang to find a place to stay, and he followed him helplessly with a few young men.

The owner of the family seemed very happy. He was staggering around Luoyang City, looking at the vegetables in the west city and smelling whether the meat was fresh; watching silk, satin, jewelry, jade, gold, silver and jade in the south city.

He enjoyed all kinds of things and was enjoying playing with them. He didn't care about the other stall owner's expression. As long as he was happy, the people behind him kept apologizing to them.

After more than two hours of walking, I chose a street shop as a resting place with satisfaction. While drinking wine and eating snacks, I watched the crowds of people occasionally heard the angrily scolding caused by bargaining, and laughed. The loyal old servant made one head and two big.

At this moment, a sudden movement came from the front, and the people around him asked to go to the streets on both sides.

The two of them looked at each other and their faces changed drastically!

But an elite army rushed over, and a vicious aura came. Not to mention people, even the horses pulling the cart next to them were intimidated by the other party's murderous aura, and kept screaming.

"General! They have been asking questions since they entered the city. I suspect they are spies from the pseudo-Wei!" The alien boss stood up panting and said, pointing to the strange servants.

The master and servant looked at each other in shock. Unexpectedly, the master and servant Emperor Yang Tong's control over Luoyang was so terrifying. They were targeted after entering the city for about two hours. They even said that they were targeted as soon as they entered the city, because the team led the team was the first Hu Shang they communicated with after they entered the city.

A heroic general came out of the team and said coldly: "Who are you waiting for? Why have you been exploring the truth and reality of Luoyang?"

The person who came was the General of the Right Guard, Shen Guang, Duke Li. When he was in Yecheng, he was responsible for the defense of the whole city. Now that the Spring Festival is approaching, not only are the kings and important officials from all countries coming to Luoyang, but some hostile dark forces also took the opportunity to infiltrate, so Shen Guang, who was familiar with it, took office again. These days, he has seized many hostile forces. When he heard that someone was very arrogant and was inquiring openly, he curiously led his troops to come. He wanted to see who this idiot was.

"It's me!" The strange-behaved head stood up, grinned, revealing his white teeth, "Duke Li, long time no see. Are you okay?"

When Chen Guang saw the appearance of this bold and unqualified "spy", his face suddenly changed. He looked at the "old servant" again, and suddenly stopped rushing. He couldn't stop and fell a dog in the street to chew shit.

"Duke Li, you know you are very excited when you meet someone, but you don't have to perform this great gift! When did the general of the Sui Dynasty be so spineless?" The 'head of the family' looked at Chen Guang with a smile.

"I!"
