Chapter 1324 Encounter with Li Jing

Daxing City was built in the second year of Kaihuang (582), and the capital was moved in March of the third year of Kaihuang.

After continuous expansion in the Sui and Tang dynasties, the city of Chang'an became the city that came to be. However, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, which was visited by all the nations, was also destroyed.

The Han city of Chang'an is not far away, but it has been dilapidated by the war. It has lost all the invincibility of the Han Dynasty in the past, and thousands of palaces and palaces have been turned into dirt.

Wang Yan had met Han Chang'an, and he had been in power there. Passing by the old site, I didn’t think too much, I just thanked my dad as usual...

After seven years of continuous construction and population migration, by the time Wang Yan came to Daxing, it was already very large and the city was already very large.

After all, the political and economic center of a country, where dignitaries and dignitaries are all located, would require many common people just to provide supporting services to these people. And the people's needs for life need to be met by more people, so the city will naturally expand.

Although it has been less than ten years, it has developed into a large city with a population of 200,000 to 300,000 people. From a distance, the city doesn't look very majestic, but when you walk in, it's full of people and the streets are very lively and lively.

Yang Guang didn't have time to arrange Wang Yan. When Yang Jian led hundreds of officials out of the city to welcome the army's triumphant departure ceremony, Wang Yan had already entered the city with the team escorting the goods and followed him to the Jin Palace in the inner city.

"Brothers, if you have any problems in the future, you must come to XX. Although XX has climbed to the high branches of the Jin Dynasty, he has not forgotten that he was a soldier in the army. He used to belong to the two countries of Sui and Chen. Today, in the next family, XX and his brothers We are a family. We will do our best to help.”

"The consultation is serious. Since we have left a list with the consultation, we can send people to look for anyone who is useful in the future. We will help with our lives. Farewell."

"The mountains are high and the road is far, brothers, travel slowly."

Wang Yan and Xiao Mei gave enough face to them and sent these soldiers out of the side door of Prince Jin's Mansion. They watched everyone leave laughing and joking, and then they returned to the mansion with Xiao Mei and arrived in the courtyard arranged by the steward of the Prince's Mansion.

The maid brought back by Chen Guo is still there, cleaning diligently with the rough maids of the Jin Palace.

The two of them were eating and drinking arranged by the steward of Prince Jin's Mansion at the table under the pavilion in the courtyard.

"Husband, should we buy a house in the outer city? And then buy a hundred acres of farmland outside the city? Living in the Jin Palace has many inconveniences, and it is definitely not a long-term thing."

Wang Yan drank half a bottle of wine, Xiao Mei was used to it, and Wang Yan basically drank the wine as water. This is real grain essence. Although it has some impurities, it actually tastes good.

"Let's wait a few days and see how His Highness King Jin makes arrangements." Wang Yan said.

Yang Guang walked through the scene outside the city, returned to the palace, washed and showered urgently, and then went to the palace. The emperor rewarded the meritorious ministers and held a big banquet in the palace to celebrate. In addition, many post-war events Matters, and various related operations, Yang Guang really had no time to pay attention to Wang Yan for a while.

Wang Yan was not in a hurry. It was only in the morning when they arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion. After eating, taking a shower, and changing into clean clothes, they went out for shopping.

Xiao Mei still dressed plainly and never wore fancy clothes again. She didn't want to get into trouble. Many of her clothes and jewelry were against the rules. Chang'an is full of dignitaries. Although she already believes in Wang Yan's strength, she doesn't want to really go out with Wang Yan to hide her name and occupy the mountain as king. So she changed her style and acted low-key.

Wang Yan was still very pleased. Xiao Mei was a worry-free and reassuring woman, very measured and clear about the pros and cons. Of course, even if Xiao Mei does cause trouble, he is not afraid and will not blame Xiao Mei. But relatively speaking, he is more willing to do it more smoothly and more openly.

He himself is very low-key, wearing a warrior's attire and an eight-sided Han sword on his waist. Walking beside the beautiful Xiao Mei, she looked like a guard.

When going out, they naturally have to go to lively places, so the two of them went to Dongshi.

Because this place is close to the inner city, it is naturally convenient for dignitaries, so all the things sold are high-priced.

There are a lot of people here, some of them are boys doing shopping in various houses, and some are children of various families, or wives of various families, hanging out together.

At the same time, the security on the streets is also very good. There are soldiers guarding both sides of the market, and there are small officials from the yamen and police officers on duty in the market.

"How do you feel?" Wang Yan asked Xiao Mei beside him with a smile.

"I don't feel anything." Xiao Mei said, "When I was in Jiankang, I lived in the palace for a long time, and the food and clothing were the best. If I have to say, maybe it is more lively. There is no such thing in the palace. kind of scenery.”

"Let's go to the West Market. There are more people there and it's much more lively."

So the two of them left Dongshi and walked leisurely on the street, stopping and stopping along the way. While looking at the current appearance of Daxing City, I also looked at where the houses are good and where the shops are doing well, and I have a simple understanding of this city.

After wandering like this for a long time, we finally arrived at the West Market.

Even before we arrived at the real Western Market, the hustle and bustle had already reached our ears from a long distance away. There are quite a lot of people here and it's quite lively. There are old people, children, men, women, and even some Central Asian and European faces.

This is Zhang Qian's contribution to the Western Regions. Even now, although the Silk Road is not easy to travel, it still plays its role.

Wang Yan finally escorted Xiao Mei into the West Market, where there were many shops and the sound of hawking could be heard, mixed with some sincere greetings.

There are more constables here to maintain order. Or rather, they maintain order for the occasional carriages with signs of noble families.

However, they don't need to be courteous. When people see such carriages, they will automatically make way. The drivers of the carriages all raise their heads slightly, showing undisguised arrogance.

It seems that the carriage and the horse are his, and his status is also his. He is proud of everything the master has. Although he is not free, and although he is beaten and punished by the master at will, he is also proud, as if he is no longer a mud-legged person.

He even has the courage to whip passers-by who are in the way.

And all this is done only by a carriage with a sign.

Is it the road that separates them?

Obviously not. It is class, a gap that cannot be crossed without taking up swords and guns.

Watching the carriage go away, Wang Yan casually picked up a flailing child, gently slapped him twice, and then pinched his nose and shook him left and right: "Little thing, you don't even look at people when you steal silver?"

Wang Yan looked around and saw a few children who were a little at a loss, and also saw a few strong men holding their shoulders. Because these people were looking at him.

Then he put the little child down, and the child ran away as soon as his feet touched the ground.

Wang Yan stretched out his hand and pressed his head to control him, and shouted softly: "Stand there! I didn't deal with you, why are you running? Stand still! Stand straight!"

The little child didn't dare to move, and stood there helplessly, nervously, and fearfully: "Grandpa, I was wrong, you adults are generous and let me go, I won't dare to do it again."

"Do you believe it yourself?" Wang Yan shook his head with a smile, untied the purse on his waist, and took out some big money from it, "Please treat you brothers to a meal, get out."

Put the big money in the little dirty hand of the broken child, and then gently kicked the broken child's butt, and the latter ran away with the force.

"Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Grandpa!"

As the man ran away, the brat was no longer as obedient as before. Wang Yan had no doubt that if he hadn't given him money just now, the brat would have jumped up and scolded him, and then quickly escaped with the crowd.

Wang Yan waved his hand with a smile, and scolded him with a smile, "Go away, go away", and the brat ran away with the others.

"My dear, this bad boy should be taught a lesson, why did you let him run away and give him a lot of money?"

Just when Xiao Mei wanted to say something funny, a man came over and bowed to Wang Yan politely.

This man was tall and strong, wearing a coarse cloth shorts, and also had a sword on his waist. His hair was tied up, with a wooden hairpin inserted, a square face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a green beard, just eighteen or nineteen years old.

Only people with a certain status can wear swords. Of course, no one cares. It's okay for ordinary people to wear swords, but swords are more expensive than knives. Most people still wear a short knife on their waists. It's not ostentatious, but it also shows confidence. After all, more people don't wear anything, just a coarse cloth belt. Wearing a knife first tells people that I'm not easy to mess with.

Wang Yan glanced at him and said with a smile: "The foundation is not bad. If he can eat enough and go to school, why would he come to the market to steal and rob? Teach him a lesson today, and he won't steal or rob tomorrow? On the contrary, I give him some money, he will have a relaxing day today, eat a full meal, and play with the brothers."

"Brother, I'm afraid your kindness is wrong." The man raised his head in the direction behind Wang Yan.

Wang Yan looked over and saw that at a corner, the kid was reluctantly giving money to a strong man, and several other guys were watching eagerly.

"I can't relieve his suffering for a lifetime, but I can relieve his worries for a day. Please take care of my wife, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Wang Yan ran over there with big strides.

The strong man who was training the child also paid attention to this place, and all the accomplices on the side also came over here.

"Boy, your father advises you not to meddle in other people's business."

Wang Yan didn't say a word, but slapped him in the face, hitting the strong man and sending him flying sideways, with big coins falling to the ground.

He patted the kid's head again: "Go pick up the money."

At this time, the four accomplices who came around saw Wang Yan taking action, and ran over to curse and wanted to beat Wang Yan up. Then, as expected, they were all beaten and sent flying.

Seeing the little brats picking up the big coins one by one and putting them in their hands, Wang Yan walked over and pulled the hair of the strong man who collected the money, and took out a wooden sign from his arms and put it in front of him.

"Look carefully, my father is the military advisor of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, his surname is Wang and his name is Yan. I invited these children to dinner today, but not you. Forget it this time, but if it happens again, my father will peel off your skin."

He slapped the man again, threw the sign to the constable who ran over for confirmation, and waved to the little brats, "Go and eat."

Of course, the little brats didn't dare to move. They were like monkeys, and they knew who was in charge, so they couldn't run away.

Wang Yan lightly kicked the strong man in the stomach, and he cried out in pain while holding his stomach, and then said with difficulty: "Go and eat, I won't bother you later."

"I will come again, we'll see then."

"Wang Advisor, take care, and call us at any time if you have anything." The constable handed Wang Yan's sign back respectfully.

There are many officials in Daxing City, and the officials of the Prince of Jin's Mansion are more prestigious. After all, unlike other officials, the officials of the Prince of Jin's Mansion must be the confidants of the Prince of Jin. No matter how well-connected a small constable is, he is not as great as the Prince of Jin Yang Guang or the royal family.

"Thank you for your hard work." Wang Yan took the sign, patted the constable's shoulder, and went back to Xiao Mei.

The young man said with a bow, "My dear brother, you are good at martial arts. My surname is Li Jing, my courtesy name is Yao Shi, and I am Li from Danyang, Longxi. I wonder what your name is?"

Wang Yan raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect to meet a famous person like Li Jing when he was shopping with Xiao Mei.

It's different to be born in a big family. You can report your name right away. Li Jing is from the Longxi Li family, one of the famous five surnames and seven families. Danyang is a branch of the Longxi Li family. It is the descendant of Li Lun, the eldest son of Li Yong, the governor of Jibei and Dongguan counties in Jin, and is called the Danyang branch.

It is worth mentioning that the famous general Han Qinhu of the dynasty is Li Jing's uncle.

Wang Yan bowed and said, "My surname is Wang Yan, my courtesy name is Zi Yan, I have no family, I am just a soldier."

"Just now, my brother took the sign..." Li Jing was a little puzzled.

"It is a sign from the Jin Palace. I am now serving as a counselor and military officer in the Jin Palace."

Li Jing was even more confused. According to what Wang Yan said, it was impossible for a soldier to get into the Jin Palace, let alone a military officer.

While he was thinking about how to ask, Wang Yan answered directly: "I was a soldier guarding the State of Chen. When the city was broken, I escaped into the imperial city and killed a team of elite soldiers. Later, I ate and drank secretly in the imperial city and injured many elite soldiers.

With no other choice, I surrendered to the King of Jin. Fortunately, the King of Jin did not hold a grudge. In addition, I knew a few words and read a few books, so His Royal Highness the King of Jin allowed me to be a counselor and military officer. It's just an empty title, but it's considered an official position and a share of the emperor's food."

"My brother is extraordinary in martial arts and his conversation is even better. There must be something extraordinary about him. "Li Jing laughed, "Meeting is fate, I invite my brother and sister-in-law to drink. Brother, are you willing to do me a favor?"

"The son of the Li family is willing to humble himself and make friends with me, a soldier, how can I not be willing?"

"Alas, brother, you are wrong, it's just the blessing of our ancestors. Descendants of the future generations dare not be proud of their achievements, just hope not to lose face for our ancestors. I am not as good as my brother, the one who is successful should be the first, so how can I talk about humbleness. Brother, please!"

In just a few words, Li Jing's chivalrous spirit was shown, and he was a real person. Considering that this is not a historical record, and there is also Hong Fu in the play, it is reasonable for Li Jing to do this. Now he is traveling around the world, applying what he has learned, and accumulating experience.

Wang Yan nodded with a smile, followed the advice, and took Xiao Mei, who was always smiling beside him, with Li Jing to the wine shop not far away to eat and drink...
