The princess Hu Ji from a small country in the Western Regions had a pair of sapphire-like eyes, and she was covered with a veil. Not only did she not hide the color, but she made her look even more enchanting. Her waist was half exposed, her figure was like a willow branch, and she had several silver rings on her arms. It tasted badly, and she was also considered a stunning beauty among ordinary people.
Hu Ji was doing business in Chang'an, and there were many people serving wine and dancing.
Therefore, when she saw Qian Chen sitting in front of Hu Shang, she went forward and lifted the seal of the wine jar, lowered it into the jar with a wooden spoon, scooped out the wine, and poured it into the wine bowl in front of Qian Chen.
The light green turbid wine was suspended with a layer of white floating objects, like an ant.
When Qian Chen saw this wine, he just raised his eyebrows and did not reveal any strange colors. He just scolded Yan Shu in his stomach. The fine wine in the middle earth is like a clear spring, amber, and even soft green. It is the pure color, but it is a fine wine of the immortal family, brewed by the Immortal Fruit Spirit Valley.
And the worldly wine will naturally not be so luxurious, the most common one is turbid wine!
What is turbid wine? It is the look of the bowl in front of Qian Chen. It is known as the "green ant fresh wine, red mud stove". It is nearly August and it is just early in the morning in the station, so naturally there is no "snow coming in the evening". Such turbid wine, the light green color is all fermented by microorganisms, commonly known as mold, and asked Qian Chen, "Can you drink a cup without?"
Of course it cannot be.
So Li Tang often drank low-grade turbid wine, but Yan Shu poured his Kunlun wine in Yuxu Palace. Qian Chen didn't have much to do with the mundane world, and he didn't know about this. If you want to say that Yan Shu, a person who has been wandering overseas, pretended not to know. It can be seen that his indifference to seeing Qian Chen's jokes is completely deprived.
Hu Shangguan could observe people's eyes. Seeing Qian Chen frowned slightly, he slid his nose slightly. He smelled the mellow and fresh alcohol smell on Qian Chen's body, and suddenly realized why the goods he was selling failed. He hurriedly pressed the wooden spoon of Hu Ji pouring wine and said, "This is all the turbid wine that we are rushing to the business trip and only drink when we are thirsty."
"Go and bring my treasured Persian wine to the distinguished guests!" Hu Shang hurriedly ordered his servants.
Hu Ji next to him curled her lips. She obviously bought the wine she bought in Hexi Qianhe, Hetang, but she changed to a Persian-style jar and wanted to deceive people that it was brewed in the Western Regions of Persia.
Qian Chen didn't care where his wine came from, but just threw it over a purse and said, "This is the cost on the road."
Hu Shang reached out to take it, weighed it a little, and opened the money bag without moving, and saw a little golden color inside. He was immediately overjoyed. Businessmen like him traveled around, and his favorite thing was light goods. The money for selling goods every year had to be exchanged for silk before setting off. Therefore, this business road is called the Silk Road.
Although gold is not a light commodity, it has a huge value ratio compared to copper coins.
Moreover, he is a gem, a craftsman of gold, who makes gold into gold and earns more.
Hu Shang took the wallet and shouted: "Package luggage for the customer!"
His tail sound was long, with an alien accent.
Qian Chen raised the shark-skin sheath in his hand, the snow-white shark-skin scabbard, with white jade buckles, and the sheath mouth was inlaid with these fiery red gems. Instead, the long sword inside was wrapped with fine linen around the hilt, which was not eye-catching. But once such an inconspicuous sword was installed in such a gorgeous scabbard, it would make people dare not underestimate it.
"I traveled all over the world with one sword, and I had no luggage!"
This team of Hu merchants was also rushing to arrive in Chang'an before the Qianqiu Festival the day after tomorrow. Therefore, only after a long time, Qian Chen leaned on the camel and drank the wine with a cup of colorful jade.
The bright red wine is served in the jade cup, and the lovely sword is slanted on the side of the camel, and it is slowly heading towards Chang'an.
From Longxi to Chang'an, it would take more than ten days. Unless a monk like Qian Chen who could fly away, this team of Hu merchants would have to show some of their abilities. As soon as they left the post, Hu merchants took out a copper oil lamp, and pondered it on the oil lamp for a few times, and a ball of yellow sand blew off the spout of the oil lamp.
The yellow sand was swept by the wind and quietly spread at the camel's feet.
Qian Chen sensed the road below to flow silently. The camel caravan was like a dozen small boats in a river, flowing down the river, and the boat did not move, as if the scenery around him was moving. In addition, the camel itself was also walking slowly, and for a moment, he felt like he was working on a train in his previous life.
"It turned out to be a land boating technique."
Qian Chen saw it clearly.
Among the magic spells used to rush on the road, in addition to flying magic, there are also evacuation techniques such as shrinking the ground, moving the art, teleportation art, etc. This land boating is also one of the small techniques to rush on the road. This technique is not used much in the original field, because the soil in the Central Plains is solid, and this technique is only easier to use in deserts.
This kind of spell can turn quicksand into flowing water, wrapping people around, or it can also be called sand escape technique.
But in places without a desert, you can only use magic tools to transform into a stream of quicksand and flow on the soil.
So when you look carefully at the feet of camels in the caravan, there is flowing yellow sand. The yellow sand spreads on the ground and flows forward with the caravans above, just like a conveyor belt at an airport. People naturally walk on it faster than other places.
On the way, there was a team of black-armored knights galloping past the post road.
On the iron forehead of the helmet, everyone wrote the name of Taiyi, wrapped in a slight divine light, and passed the caravan. When the leader of the knight passed by, he even turned slightly and looked at Qian Chen who was hiding among the Hu Shang. Qian Chen bowed and signaled... The knight smiled slightly and drove away on his horse.
"The power of the divine talisman, plus the military marching skills." Qian Chen exclaimed slightly: "It is a mysterious iron cavalry, but it is still extraordinary."
Among that team of knights, there are many people with the appearance of Hu people, and there are no fewer people with cultivation.
In just one day, the caravan walked to the foot of Tongguan. Tongguan was set up several dynasties before, specially designed to resist the Hu people of the Western Liang and Qiang, and it was the last pass to protect Chang'an. After that, it was the Wanli Plain, and there was no danger to defend. Therefore, the defense was the most stringent and it was impossible to pass the pass.
This majestic pass is as majestic as iron, and it is magnificent on the earth, blocking the business trips coming from the west like a chasm.
The city wall is thirty meters high, and is made of huge rocks about a length and width. The wall is as flat as a rock. Black iron is poured between the cracks of the stones, reflecting the luster of metal and indestructible. The city tower is several meters high, and the large arrow tower next to it is made of black stones. The cold light of the gun blade reflects like a forest like rain, which is awesome.
The military spirits on the pass were so strict, all of which were covered with iron armor and horizontal swords, and the majestic murderous aura rushed to the sky. The military spirit was like wolf smoke, and the monks could not fly over this pass at all. Even if the birds wanted to fly from the pass, they would be shocked by the faint evil aura and fell down. The divine light on the iron armor of the Tang Dynasty soldiers should have been vaguely blessed with magic power. Qian Chen saw that many of them were military monks who breathed and trained their energy.
Near the city, there are still more than a dozen Weng City. The acropolis surround the pass. Each city is big and small. It is the place where soldiers are stationed inside. A large group of soldiers and horses are entering and leaving, and the clanging sound of armor and weapons is heard a hundred miles away.
At this time, the Hu caravan was obediently staying outside the city of Guan, preparing to rest for a night before passing the pass and set off on the road.
Tongguan is a central gate above the commercial road, and there are many business travelers. At this time, they gathered in the fence set up for them by Guancheng. Many tents were connected, just like a small town. The Hu merchant found a general who arranged for them to station here, and only then did the minor official stand on the side of the entrance of the fence with a book and a pen in one hand. He counted their goods expressionlessly and checked the documents.
After collecting the tariff money, they arranged for the documents to pass tomorrow and set up a tent for them.
Hu Shang smiled flatteringly and stuffed a jade bracelet. The little official weighed it slightly and saw that it was Yutian's white jade. Although it was just a few variegated white jade, it was enough to take it back to please the wife at home.
The caravan guys were busy, packed up their goods, set up tents, and even raised a bonfire in the air between the tents.
The sky is getting darker.
