Chapter 362
The distance to the imperial city of Chang'an is more than 2000 miles, and I have seen enough scenery when I came here, but I don't have the heart to appreciate it at this time.

After leaving the western frontier, the strong atmosphere of the Central Plains approached.

After passing the pass, walk eastward to the official road, and the undulating mountains along the way will be lowered, and the green pines and green bamboos will gradually increase in the field of vision. Under the lush old trees, there will be villages curling up with smoke, which is different from the rough and rough northwest. On the contrary, the fur makes people feel comfortable.

On the flat ground and the official road extending in all directions, there are occasional resting inns or taverns, the shafts of traders around, and the locals driving livestock.

For example, in the Central Plains, the weather is not as cold as in the west, and it gradually feels hot and dry. After taking off his coat and fur, Li Xian got off his horse and threw the fur on the horse's back.

"Ten guest officers, what do you want to eat? Hu biscuits and scallions are enough."

Seeing the face of a person from the Central Plains, the young servant at the inn couldn't help being a little enthusiastic. He took the horse in Li Xian's hand and tied it to the wooden stake outside, and asked enthusiastically.

"Erniu, tell the brothers to rest their feet, eat some hot food, and go to wash off the floating dirt on their faces."

Li Xian was the first to greet the Shiqi cauldron behind him, and then turned his head and said to the servant in front of him.

"Two slices of mustache per person, a bowl of meat porridge, and a pair of fruit wine if possible."

The passing merchants under the wooden shed also walked together in this relatively desolate place, and they were not too surprised by the group of ten people, but when they glanced at the group of people, how many of them moved Out of position, give up three tables and chairs.

Li Xian smiled back, nodded slightly as a thank you, then called the ten people behind him to sit in their seats, and quietly waited for the servants to serve their meals.

Seeing that this group of strong figures had no malicious intentions, the diners around were relieved. After a while, the voice of conversation sounded.

"Hey, look at the people over there. They come from the west. Could it be the official who returned to Beijing early? Or is this rich man who has a big business and can afford to hire these strong servants?"

"When you're away from home, don't inquire about other people's affairs! Eat well and drink tea. The Tuyuhun thieves who are fighting on the battlefield are retreating steadily. It's the time to cut off their ears to grab military merits. How can anyone come down from the battlefield so early?" ,

A few steps away, the middle-aged wealthy businessman saw the BMWs under these people just now, and he already saw that these people were destined to be extraordinary.Even if it is not a soldier, it must be involved with the soldier.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I took the initiative to divert the words away, and dared not mention this group of people.

"Hehe! Those thieves deserve it! Looting the borderlands deserves a terrible death. If I go to the battlefield, I will cut them into pieces. Look at how many people died before? In some small towns, corpses It stinks to the sky, and there are white bones all over the floor, it's frightening to death."

"That's right, thanks to that immortal army officer from the Tang Dynasty, he was able to attract the immortals and send down the divine thunder, killing these savages without leaving any bones. It's really satisfying."

"Hey, have you heard these rumors too? Tell us, who is this fairy?"

The eyes of the ten cavalry turned to Li Xian unconsciously, with respect in their eyes, but dumbfounded on their faces.

It's good to have shocking power, but what's the matter with this fairy?But they did not see the gods that day.

Li Xian spread his hands, expressing that he was also helpless.

Rumors are true and false, who can control what others say?

The older captain moved closer to Li Xian's side and said with a smile.

"Li Canjun, if these people know that they are eating with the military master who knows the magic of the gods at this time, I am afraid they will be able to brag in the village for a long time."

Li Xianbai glanced up at the junior captain, and removed the bamboo chopsticks and bamboo tubes on the desk.

"Less poor!"

The boy wearing a white scarf came over with a wooden box full of porridge, wiped the white towel on his shoulders again on the desk, handed the porridge one by one, glanced at Li Xian and the others, and grinned.

"Is the guest officer a soldier who came down from the battlefield in advance? They are all burly, and they don't look like servants of ordinary merchants' mansions."

One sentence caused the person talking just now to stop talking and look over.

Li Xian was taken aback for a moment, knowing that this was Chinese spoken by the shop assistant, he smiled and clasped his hands together.

"It's too good to be true. It's just a martial artist who often practices martial arts. I'm just doing some small business."

"I eat a lot of meat, and I grow strong and strong, which is incomparable to us soldiers of the Tang Dynasty."

Hey hey hey.

The young servant grinned, threw the white scarf over his shoulders and put it on, and took the mustard cakes for Li Xian and his party one by one.

"Let me just say, I think you must have something if you are in the world, so there is no room for delay."

"But our current imperial city is peaceful. Many neighbors have also sent envoys to congratulate us. There is no need to dispatch soldiers."

Hearing this, Li Xian became very interested. This is the wild forest where the Central Plains and the plateau meet. It is precisely these inns and restaurants that know the most information, so he simply asked about it.

"Do you know which missions from neighboring countries have entered Beijing these days? What new things have happened in our imperial city recently?"

Seeing Li Xian's kind face, always smiling, the servant also felt a little fond of him, so he simply went to the back room to bring hot porridge to the other two tables, pulled a chair and stool to sit down, and started talking.

"The guest officer must have been earning a living in the frontier for a long time, so he doesn't know about the affairs in the imperial city."

"Right now, the battle of Tuguhun has brought out the might of the Tang Dynasty. Many neighboring countries must be afraid of our military might of the Tang Dynasty and rush to enter the Tang Dynasty. Even Tubo, who was always provoking troubles before, has already dispatched the prime minister to the Tang Dynasty."

Speaking of this, the boy leaned forward and said in a rather mysterious way.

"This is also the inspiration of our Great Tang Mingjun. It is said that we want to re-establish a new monarch for Tuyuhun, and we also want to marry off our Datang Princess, in order to improve the in-laws of the two countries."

"Hey, our Tang Dynasty's move is really good."

"A princess can not only supervise whether the king of Tuyuhun is still ambivalent, but also set an example for other neighboring countries to rule the Great Tang Dynasty regardless of previous suspicions. Your Majesty exiled his sons and grandsons to other countries for the sake of us People on the frontier can feel at ease."

As soon as the voice fell, the diners who were listening behind him also spoke.

"Ordinary people feel distressed when they get married far away. Your Majesty really paid a lot of money..."

"...Hey, according to me, you shouldn't marry. Why should we marry if we win the Tang Dynasty? It would be nice to take two princes as hostages."

"You don't understand now. You are resentful. It is inevitable that the kings of some countries around you will be afraid and collude."

"So what's the matter with the collusion? We Tang will be afraid of him? Just hit him and we'll be done!"

Discussions around him resumed, and the servant also stepped back in a timely manner. After all, discussing such things as the king in the court and the public, might lose his head.

After taking a sip of the meat porridge, Li Xian looked at Tutu Guandao, his heart racing with thoughts.

In this foreign country, the history is always surprisingly similar.

For example, there were many marriages of royal heirs before in the history of Tang Dynasty, and I have no right to decide whether it is right or wrong.

In other words, he is not his own heir, so why bother with those thoughts!
Li Xian drank the meat porridge like swallowing jujubes. Li Xian wiped his mouth, and the familiar fruit wine was sour and astringent.

Putting down the pottery bowl and hiccupping, Li Xian murmured with a smile.

"We really missed a lot about the imperial city."
