Luoyang is currently the most prosperous city after Chang'an.
Luoyang did not change in any way because of the unspeakable incident at noon yesterday. The bustling crowds on the streets in the early morning were busy with what they should be busy with.
Traffickers and footmen lead carts and sell pulp, and this has been the case since ancient times.
Xu Yunyan was leisurely wandering around the street in a beggar's uniform. Looking at Xu Yunyan's appearance, a few enthusiastic vendors stuffed the steamed buns into Xu Yunyan's hands, making Xu Yunyan keep nodding and bowing in thanks.
Such treatment made Xu Yunyan sigh with emotion.
"This ancient man is so sincere!"
After Xu Yunyan had eaten enough to fill his five internal organs temple, he continued to wander around the streets, trying to find any clues related to what happened yesterday. However, it can only be said that the hard work paid off, and Xu Yunyan encountered such an interesting incident. of.
In a teahouse here, there are a few slutty guys drinking morning tea and eating breakfast. They are normal, but they are not speaking on the same channel. No matter how you look at them, you feel that there is something wrong with these people.
He quietly leaned towards them, and these guys looked at him and suddenly became aroused.
"Hey, where does this beggar come from? Do you want me to give you some cooking cakes to fill your stomach?"
When these people said this, Xu Yunyan hurriedly hummed here, pretending to be mute and unable to speak normal words, and came forward. He had heard clearly that although the accents of these people were very similar to those around Luoyang, there were slight differences. , should be around Luoyang.
Xu Yunyan didn't dare to speak casually. If he walked a little longer, his accent from other places would be heard. Wouldn't it be troublesome if he was not from Luoyang?
One of the people looked at him and said, "Hey, you're still mute? Come on, come on, eat first, eat first."
While they were talking like this, a steaming steamed bun was stuffed into Xu Yunyan's hand. Although Xu Yunyan had almost eaten just now, he still swallowed the food in big mouths to see what the problem was with him. That's called comfort.
But what no one expected was that after he had just finished eating a steamed bun, this person was passing it to him. Previous
Looking at the second steaming bun, Xu Yunyan had a slight hesitation between his eyebrows. He was full just now, really full, but looking at the second steamed bun, he still took it and took a big bite. Stuff it into your stomach here,
After the second one came the third one, still with a bitter look on his face. Just after finishing the third one, the fourth one came again.
Xu Yunyan gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, fighting for it!
It was just that Xu Yunyan was holding the fourth one, and when he was about to chew it, he didn't expect that the fourth one was not brought over. Xu Yunyan just breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at them and wanted to find their own problem.
That's okay. I just ate two extra steamed buns, and now they're all filling up my throat. If I eat any more, I probably won't be able to eat them at all.
Just looking at Xu Yunyan who still wanted to eat, these men were laughing here.
"Boy, I have something to arrange for you. You have to do it beautifully, not to mention this steamed bun. From now on, I will give you countless steamed buns."
Xu Yunyan hoped to nod here and make ah-ah strokes, but everyone looked at him with doubts.
"Are you agreeing? Nod if you agree."
Xu Yunyan nodded hurriedly here.
Several people burst out laughing when they saw this.
"Very well, since you look like this, I will tell you what you are going to do."
Xu Lao Yunyan stood here honestly, and the group of people in front of him didn't have any embarrassment. They looked around and whispered something in his ear.
"Now you go to the Fuman Tower next door."
Fumanlou?
Xu Yunyan was stunned and didn't know where he was.
And these people pointed to the restaurant next to them.
Fumanlou?
Oh, that’s where it turned out to be.
Pointing to himself and then to the building, Xu Yunyan nodded solemnly.
Xu Yunyan expressed his understanding and looked at the people in front of him, who immediately explained.
"After you go in, see if there are any soldiers in Fuman Tower."
"Soldier?"
Xu Yunyan was shocked.
After saying ah a few times, he motioned for him to go over immediately, while everyone looked at him.
"Go, go, you just need to go and see if there are any soldiers in Fumanlou. When you come back, if you are there, you will circle around me. If you are not, you will circle around him. Understand Yet?"
Xu Yunyan nodded to show that he understood, and then everyone urged him.
"go quickly."
Xu Yunyan responded hurriedly and then walked in the direction of Fumanlou mentioned by the three people.
What is this Fumanlou doing? Xu Yunyan wasn't very clear, but after Xu Yunyan glanced at a few of them again, he memorized all their faces and could easily draw their portraits, he quickly walked forward and asked for help in front of the Fuman Building. He went in, but before he could get in, he was kicked out by a waiter in Fuman Building.
"Go! Where does this beggar dare to come to Fumanlou? Don't you know that Fumanlou is closed now? It only provides food to the Governor's Mansion?"
Xu Yunyan was startled by what the waiter said. It seems that there is indeed something wrong with these people. Let me come to Fumanlou to see if there are any soldiers. What do soldiers do? Guards, of course.
They must have tampered with the food in the governor's mansion in this name.
Xu Yunyan thought about this, and after quickly returning, he found the suspicious people and circled twice around the man who had to circle around several times without soldiers.
Seeing this scene, everyone laughed.
"Okay, boy, you are obedient and we are happy."
The three of them said this happily, and immediately slapped the coins in their hands on the table, pointing at the remaining steamed buns.
"This is yours, eat it!"
Then several people laughed happily and walked away.
However, what these burly men with sinister faces did not notice was that as they walked towards the distance, the man they thought was a beggar next to the stall did not eat their steamed buns at all, nor did he To touch their money, he quickly found their blind spot, followed them and ran forward, approaching them quickly while walking. Along the way, Xu Yunyan was worthy of being an elite of later generations, and there were other clothes inside the beggar uniform. , quickly changed his clothes from a beggar to that of a frail scholar, and followed a few people forward.
These men with sinister faces were indeed very suspicious. Xu Yunyan kept making traces in his hands. At first glance, he looked like a scholar writing something. After passing by them, he heard what they were saying. There was something whispered there.
"No matter what, I have to arrange for someone to enter Fuman Tower.
Since they were delivering food to the Governor's Mansion, they had to make everyone in the Governor's Mansion fall to the ground.
As long as everything in the governor's office is solved, for our king's sake, he must be solved, and then the capital city can solve the current majesty. With the support of the emperor, it will be easy for our king to become the new emperor. "
What? Xu Yunyan was frightened at this moment. How could this matter be involved in the fight for the throne? From the looks of it, it was a brother of Li Shimin who was granted the title of king, and he was the child supported by Li Yuan. The child that Li Yuan is most optimistic about now is the child who is about the same age as Li Chengqian. The King of Han, Li Yuanchang? The other princes, including the older Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji, have all fallen, and the other princes are very young. As for the other princes, it is impossible for Li Yuan to pass the throne to them. , could it be him?
Xu Yunyan was thinking here and couldn't help but look at the place entrusted by King Li Yuanchang of Han Dynasty.
Xinzheng is only half a day's journey from Luoyang. Although it is not as prosperous as Luoyang, it can still be regarded as a satellite city of Luoyang, and it is an important transportation place for people traveling from north to south.
Luoyang did not belong to Han, one of the seven Warring States Kingdoms, between Han and Wei. Compared with Han King Li Yuanchang, as the elder of Prince Li Chengqian,
There is only such a Han king, and now he has been sealed in Xinzheng, which is indeed very suspicious. What's more, Xinzheng belongs to Suizhou, and the people in Suizhou still have some troubles with him.
After receiving this incredible piece of information, Xu Yunyan did not immediately return to tell Li Chengqian. Instead, he continued to stare at the group of people and rushed towards their current hiding place.
Nothing should be said by hearsay, seeing is believing is the most important thing. Xu Yunyan followed them back to their residence and after a blacksmith shop, he looked at the strong man in the blacksmith shop and some small fish-scale armor in the back. Object, I couldn’t help but be shocked.
Nowadays, if you are a man of letters, a scholar, a trader, or a lackey, it is no problem for you to have a knife and a sword, but if you have a crossbow and armor, it is a serious crime. In this blacksmith shop, the iron tools forged here are fair and square, and there are also some pieces of armor. , this is quite a big sin no matter how you say it.
With armor plates, wouldn't it be possible to have no armor?
And in Luoyang City, no one cares about them. It seems that the name of King Han is quite intimidating, but no matter whether you have a problem or not, if you do these things, as long as you are against Li Chengqian, I will not Spare you.
Xu Yunyan said this and quickly came to the door of the blacksmith shop, where the people in the blacksmith shop were forging iron. Seeing such a scholar coming, a boy who looked like a boy came up to him.
"Would you like some, young master? We have everything from agricultural implements to knives and swords used by literati princes. Can you, sir, take a look?"
Xu Yunyan nodded and started walking around in the blacksmith shop. The waiter in the blacksmith shop didn't have any embarrassment and just accompanied Xu Yunyan normally. However, Xu Yunyan was shocked by this turn.
Sure enough, there were a lot of semi-finished armors inside, and Xu Yunyan was not surprised or showed any other signs when he came in. The waiter in the shop didn't feel there was anything wrong, and instead pointed at the weapon rack.
"Look at this, our famous sword cuts iron like clay. This is the standard sword of the Tang Army. It's more honorable to take it out."
The waiter spoke eloquently, and Xu Yunyan pointed to the fragment of armor, while the waiter in the shop was talking here.
"This thing is not for sale, it was made to order."
As expected, there is a problem.
In order to change the topic without attracting attention, Xu Yunyan stepped forward and pulled out a sword, looked at it, touched it, and shook it.
The portion was generous, and Xu Yunyan was a little satisfied, but of course he was pretending.
Xu Yunyan looked at the waiter and asked.
"Isn't armor a controlled item? Is there really no problem in making armor? Isn't it possible that even if I buy a sword from you, someone will be concerned about it and cause trouble for me?"
Xu Yunyan had just finished speaking. Although his accent was slightly different from that of Luoyang, there were many people traveling from north to south in Luoyang, so the waiter was not surprised and immediately laughed.
"This young master is overly worried. Our armor-making governor's office also knows this."
