Although Han Yunong looks around, he rarely speaks, and his eyebrows are not as relaxed as Du Hongsheng.

"In this way, you can no longer see Hujia in the Western Regions in the West Market?" Qin Xiao asked: "After the change of Wutuo, Datang severed trade with the Wutuo Khanate, but Wu After many requests from the people of Tuo, the empire finally reopened trade with them. When I went to Wutuo, there were many merchants from the Tang Dynasty doing business in the Wutuo Khanate, and even some bold ones would go to the Western Regions. Shang did not continue to come to Datang?"

Han Yunong finally said: "In the final analysis, it is still the wrist of the Wutuo people. The Wutuo people have fought for many years and destroyed several countries, and they have made the Western Regions terrified. The Western Regions like my Datang goods, I Datang They are also very interested in the goods of the Western Regions. The Wutuo people are the only way to control the business road. Their unique geographical advantages have given them the idea of ​​reaping the benefits. The goods of the Western Regions Hushang have not yet entered Kunlun Pass. Seven Achievements have been acquired by the Wutuo people. After they entered the customs, they sold them at a high price. In a flash, it was a dozen or even dozens of times the profit. Just like the Datang merchants leaving Jiayuguan, unless they pay a lot of money to follow the Xiling family’s business trip. Otherwise, most of the goods will be bought by the Xiling Chamber of Commerce, and they will be transported to Wu Tuo and sold for a lot of money."

Du Hongsheng nodded and said: "In the words of Han Duwei. Back then, Datang and the Western Regions traded directly. Even if the price of goods was lower than now, the two sides still made huge profits. But now there is a middle ground. The Wutuo Khanate and even the Xiling family, they are like two monsters blocking the road. They eat people without spitting out bones. Most of the profits fall into their hands. Datang and merchants from the Western Regions stayed out for a long time and did business. , Profits are getting lower and lower." Shaking his head and sighing, "Although the trade between the two sides has continued over the past few years, the treasury still has these inputs. Now that Xiling has fallen into the hands of the rebels, the treasury can only It’s worse."

"Lord Captain, shall we go directly to the Ministry of War?" Qin Xiao will naturally not forget the main mission of this trip to Kyoto.

Han Yunong hasn’t spoken yet, Du Hongsheng has already said: “There are 108 squares in Kyoto city. As soon as the unitary hour arrives, the squares will be sealed off and they cannot move between each other. The War Department’s Yamen is on Zhuque Street, east of the imperial city. , We have to pass through at least a dozen neighborhoods, and the sky has already darkened. We will seal up every halfway."

Qin Xiao knew that the city of Kyoto was very magnificent, but didn't want to have as many as 108 squares. He was surprised: "Is the capital so strict?"

"This is the capital city after all." Du Hongsheng said sternly: "After dark, the officials of Kyoto Prefecture will patrol the streets. Unless you are a relative of the emperor, whoever you are, you will find walking around at night without saying a word. Let’s go back to Kyoto Prefecture and talk about it.” Xiang Han Yunong said: “Wei Han, let’s go a little further, and it’s Sipingfang. There are many inns inside. Many people who come to Beijing from outside will live in Sipingfang. Next, let’s go there and find an inn to stay in. The workshop will be opened tomorrow morning. I will report to the staff department first, and then go to the Ministry of War to report the news together."

Han Yunong knows that once an official sent from Kyoto enters Beijing, the first thing he must go to is the official department and inform them in detail of the reason for entering Beijing. Otherwise, they will leave their posts without authorization. If you really want to investigate it, you will be fined or if you are serious, you will be dismissed from office. It is also common.

Therefore, the officials who are released to the outside world will stick to this rule, and the first pier to worship after entering Beijing must be the staff.

Du Hongsheng was sent to Zhen County in Xiling to serve as the county guard many years ago. He was sent by the official department, so naturally he did not dare to violate this rule.

The three of them rode to Sipingfang. There are indeed many inns here. Qin Xiao doesn't lack money. He found a Changle inn with a large facade and asked for three guest rooms. The horses are naturally led to feed.

Qin Xiao sold treasures in Wutuo and received 300,000 taels of silver. This is an extremely large fortune. Qin Xiao always carried hundreds of thousands of taels of silver with him. Besides, he also There is also a bit of scattered silver. Even if you are in Kyoto, with this silver on your body, nothing is to worry about.

The three people rushed to Kyoto from Xiling to Kyoto, but they were all very tired.

Qin Xiao ordered a table of good wine and food. After he was full of food and drink, Qin Xiao went out and bought three new sets of clothes. Although he could not leave the shop, he was very free in the shop, and in this Sipingfang There are also many shops, so it is not difficult to buy a few new clothes.

Tomorrow, they are going to the Ministry of War, and the three of them are in the dust, and their clothes are dirty. Qin Xiao wondered if he was going to the Ministry of War, he would always change his clothes and be more decent.

The three of them all had a rest early that night to keep up their spirits. Early the next morning, Du Hongsheng got up and asked them to wait in the inn. They first went to the staff department to report their duties, and then went to the war department together after returning.

Han Yunong was born in the army and had no contact with the officials. He was sent to the Duwei's Mansion in Zhen County as an arrangement behind General Heiyu. In fact, he still belongs to the military. There is no need to report to the officials, but The military position is in the body, but he has to report to the Ministry of War.

Qin Xiao was originally a jailer in Xiling. He belonged to a small official. Naturally, there would be no files in the six departments. Even if he followed General Heiyu later, before the Xiling Three Cavaliers were fully on track, the Ministry of War had not yet been registered. , Qin Xiao has not yet had the establishment of a military headquarters, so he is naturally not qualified to report to the military headquarters.

Du Hongsheng went out early in the morning, and the two waited at the inn until noon when Du Hongsheng came back.

Han Yunong suddenly felt uneasy, and Qin Xiao also felt that something was wrong. The two discussed it, and Han Yunong said: "I will go to the Ministry of War to check the situation. The change in Xiling must be reported to the Ministry of War as soon as possible. . You stay in the inn, if I have not come back when Master Du returns, you will go to the Ministry of War to find me." After a pause, he mused, and shook his head: "No, after he comes back, you and him will stay here. Wait for my message."

Qin Xiao faintly felt a little uneasy, but when he first arrived in Kyoto, he could only follow Han Yunong's instructions.

After Han Yunong left the inn, Qin Xiao waited alone in the inn for the two to come back. Bored and lazy, closed the door and practiced alone.

Since knowing that the [Taigu Yiqi Jue] is one of the three Taoist mental methods, Qin Xiao has cherished this mental method even more.

According to Xiao Shigu, in this world, it is not easy to reach the realm of the great sky. Not only is it necessary to have an extraordinary talent, but also a great opportunity.

Having talent is only one of the conditions for entering the Great Heaven Realm. It is possible to break into the Great Heaven Realm by obtaining the appropriate inner strength mental method, diligent practice, and the so-called suitable inner strength mental method is one of the few in this world. It is actually harder to get this kind of mentality than to reach the sky.

When Hongye presented the [Taigu Yiqi Jue], Qin Xiao didn't know that this was a Taoist mental method that countless martial arts couldn’t ask for. After receiving the advice from the younger sister, Qin Xiao was very successful

It is clear.

He also knows in his heart that even if he really has martial arts talent and he has [Taigu Yiqi Jue] in hand, it doesn't mean that he can definitely become a master of the Great Heaven Realm.

These two things are indeed indispensable conditions on the road to the great world, but they do not mean that you will be able to succeed if you have these conditions.

For Qin Xiao, practicing martial arts and protecting oneself is more practical than reaching the great heaven.

Now he is only a third-grade cultivation base, and only a small heavenly realm. He only wants to reach the middle-heaven realm as soon as possible, and he will be able to reach the middle-heaven realm as soon as possible.

Until dusk, not only did Du Hongsheng never come back, but Han Yunong also never returned.

Qin Xiao felt more and more uneasy, not knowing whether he should look for it. When it was dark, the city was closed, and the two returned without seeing them, and Qin Xiao could not leave Sipingfang.

He knew that if everything went well with Han Yunong, even if there was a delay and he couldn't come back in person, he would be notified by someone, but after he left, there was no news. Something must have happened.

I couldn't sleep this night. I waited until the next morning and couldn't stay any longer. I left Sipingfang and asked about it along the way. I finally found Zhuque Street.

Suzaku Avenue is the center of Kyoto. Half of the six yamen are on this street.

Qin Xiao rode to Dezhuque Street, looking for the place where the Ministry of War's Yamen, both sides are magnificent and solemn government offices, there are soldiers guards in front of the door, Qin Xiao is wearing a commoner, riding on Zhuque Street, the guards on both sides are It was looking at Qin Xiao who was riding on horseback with wide eyes.

Suzaku Street is where the government office is located. On weekdays, most officials from the ministry come by sedan chair. Although there are officials who ride on horseback, they are all in official uniforms. Even the government officials who came on foot came to serve as errands. , Will also be neatly dressed, not sloppy.

Untidy clothes and undressed clothes are not a big deal for the common people, but for the officials of the government office, it is rude. Not only will they be contemptuous by their colleagues, they will even be reprimanded by the superiors.

There are government offices on both sides of Zhuque Avenue, and the people who come and go are officials and bureaucrats. Common people hardly appear on this street. Wearing a uniform, riding a tall horse, walking slowly on Zhuque Avenue, but also looking around. This is definitely a rare sight on Suzaku Street.

Qin Xiao is ignorant of ignorance. He just wants to find the military headquarters, but he doesn't know where he has been. Both eyes look at him with strange gazes.

"It's here." Qin Xiao rode to the middle of Zhuque Street, and suddenly saw a high gate compound with six armored guards in front of the gate. The plaque on the front of the gate was written with the word "Soldiers Deployment", and he turned to dismount. , Leading the horse, and before they approached, the two guards turned around, pressed the hilt of the knife with their hands, and looked cold, staring at Qin Xiao without speaking.

Qin Xiao let go of the horse's reins. He came to the military headquarters for the first time. He didn't know the rules here. Thinking of reaching out and not hitting the smiley people, he folded his hands and smiled at the guards: "Hello, my surname, Qin, Come over and ask someone, do you know Lieutenant Han Yunong Han? He came to your military department yesterday and has not returned. Ask if he is still here?" A smile on his face was very kind.
