Longle City is the location of Yingyang Mansion, and the headquarters of the five Hexi counties and the three Western Regions. In fact, it is a large military camp and a fortress. It forms the most solid fortifications at the west end of Hexi, along with Yangguan to the west and Dunhuang City to the east.

Where there are military camps, there are military yards, village groups, and military cities. This is a unique phenomenon that has been formed since the Wei and Jin Dynasties established the military-civilian system of separation and military households for generations.

The military system of the Great Sui Dynasty inherited the Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties. The military and civilians were divided into their ancestral homes and their military households were lower than those of civilian households. The military households lived in the military offices and villages where the military offices were located, and they were mobilized at any time, without a fixed place. After the unification, because the war was greatly reduced, such a large team of soldiers and families was no longer needed. Therefore, in the tenth year of Kaihuang (590 AD), Chang'an issued an edict to modify the military system, and the military households were incorporated into civilian households, and the military households were integrated into civilian households. This not only ensured sufficient military sources and the combat effectiveness of the army, but also included the families and military households in the unified management of the government, strengthening the government's control over civilian households.

This institutional change has not had any substantial impact on the Wei Mansion, the military and military households. The military and military households are still the military officers who have been in their lifetime. They cannot return home at the age of 60. The military families and military households still cultivate that land. Once the war is fought, they stand outside the house every day waiting for their relatives to return. What really feels the change is the military households in the hinterland of Central China. Because of the unification, the civil war is no longer fought, and the border war is not their turn, so the military families and military households of the military officers immediately settle down and enjoy the benefits of unification and peace.

The soldiers and military households on the frontier still live in the continuous wars. The unification of Middle-earth has little impact on them. The soldiers still have to fight. I don’t know if they can see the sun tomorrow, and the military households are still struggling to survive in fear. In terms of the benefits, the number of battles after the end of the civil war is relatively small, which can save some of the resources for the expedition. In addition, the military households do not have to bear rent and mediocre service, so the quality of life is slightly improved.

Dunhuang, Longle and Yangguan are the key points of the Silk Road. With the unification of Sino-Turkey, the Silk Road has become increasingly prosperous. The key points of this rush have both military and trade functions, and soldiers and merchants have become the main population here. Soldiers need money and money to improve their lives, and merchants also need money and help from soldiers to get more money. Therefore, the two sides cooperate and help each other to benefit each other. This prosperity is reflected in Longle City, which is bright and wine, singing and dancing, and laughter.

Yangguan is the front line of defense, and is naturally vigilant; Dunhuang is the seat of the county seat, the administrative capital, and the natural rule of law is strict; Longle is between the two, and the location of the Hexi Military Command. Its status is very special. Although it is not above the Dunhuang County Government, the county government has no possibility of interfering in the Weifu. Because of this, Longle is actually a military-controlled place, and everything is decided by the Weifu.

Here, in addition to soldiers, military households and merchants, there is also a huge group, that is, the officials and servants who are in the border areas.

According to the law of the Great Sui Dynasty, only those who rebel and rebel, father and son and brother were killed, and their families were not officials and slaves. In other words, any relatives and subordinates who committed rebellion and rebel, even private slaves in the family, would be implicated and become officials and slaves even without knowing about the crime. Official slaves are not always slaves. Once they encounter a general amnesty, they can be reborn as commoners according to the law, but they are greatly reduced in actual execution. The government office and the temple require these officials and slaves to work for them for free, especially those in remote areas, temples and temples, which are even more silly and disobey. Therefore, the fate of officials and slaves is directly related to their personal connections. Those with family background and backstage will return home after calm and even plan a comeback. If there is no connection or these resources have been seriously damaged, they can only fall into hell on earth and suffer to death.

If a young woman among the official slaves is not protected, no matter how high your status was in the past, she has now become a slave and lost her personal freedom. She basically goes to a brothel run by an official brothel, and some are lucky. She is bought before becoming a prostitute, but it also depends on the family you settled in. Perhaps it is better to be a prostitute in a brothel.

Mingsha Garden is the largest pleasure-seeking venue in Longle City, with a one-stop meal, drink, and entertainment, and it absolutely guarantees quality, fairness and safety. Its owner is actually Hexi Weifu.

The most popular musical music and dance music in Mingsha Garden is called Mingsha. It is said that she is a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty. Now she has grown up and is extremely beautiful. She was pushed to the front of the stage by the boss of Mingsha Mountain. She was amazed at the moment and became famous in Dunhuang. Even the Taoist priests in Taiping Palace were fascinated by it and even gave up their practice in order to have a love for their love.

Tonight, Galan sat in Mingsha Garden, sitting in an inconspicuous corner on the west side of the tall and spacious, gorgeously decorated central hall, and was whispering to Mao Yuxuan while enjoying the light singing and dancing.

"Why did you choose here?" Galan didn't like this noisy place, but he prefers to talk about some confidential things in a simple and quiet environment.

A moment ago, he was still in the Wei Mansion and had a specific negotiation with the right guard General Feng Xiaoci and Wu Ben Lang General Wang Wei. The credit was given to Changsun Heng'an, but to hold this handle firmly, Changsun Heng'an must be carried a burden from now on, covering his heart with a thick layer of haze, making him restless day and night, allowing the Wei Mansion to use the Laolang Mansion to control the situation in the west to the greatest extent, so that Feng Xiaoci and Wang Wei not only brought the credit when they left Hexi, but also made a lot of money.

"Lying drunk on a beautiful woman's knee, wake up and hold the murder sword." Mao Yuxuan smiled, "This is our destination. Every time I come back, do you feel that things are wrong? Last night's name, where is today?" Mao Yuxuan said, "These are not in sight, so it's better not to see them. The hour of Hai is right, Mingsha and Sitong dance together with the zhezhi. Do you know Mingsha? Let's not introduce it. The rising generations are famous and well-known. Sitong is also a famous genius in Mingsha Garden, with its unique piano skills. It is said that Master Taiping occasionally heard it, was shocked and admired, and became famous in Hexi."

Galan smiled disapprovingly, ate the dish and asked casually, "Is this wine worth a lot, right?"

Mao Yuxuan waved disdainfully, "Only such a luxurious place can we find the people we want to find and the secrets we want to find. Although the small winery and Xiaolefang are also a bustling place, what can you find from the mouths of those peddlers and horse thieves?"

Galan nodded quietly, "Have you found the person who stayed in the house?"

Mao Yuxuan did not answer, but pointed at the front of the left with his eyes, "Can you know the short-bearded and strong man in a yellow robe and a leather crown?"

Galanman glanced casually, frowned slightly, then searched in her memory for a moment, shook her head slightly.

"This person is so famous, you don't even know him?" Mao Yuxuan pretended to be surprised and teased, "Jia Lan, are you a Han Chinese in the Middle Earth or a Hu Hu in the West? You don't even know Li Gui, a famous Hexi hero?"

Li Gui? Haowang? Jialan seemed to think of something, his face suddenly became solemn, and his eyes couldn't help but look over again.

"The five counties in Hexi are in the middle of Wuwei, and among the prominent families in Hexi, the Guzang Li family is the most famous." Mao Yuxuan whispered, "It is rumored that the ancestor of Guzang Li family was Li Guang, the flying general of the Han Dynasty. Let's hear from the master that Li Guang's grandson Li Ling was defeated and surrendered to the Huns. The Li family branch has reproduced in the northwest, so this rumor is somewhat credible."

Jialan held the chopsticks and pondered, as if he didn't hear Mao Yuxuan's words. Mao Yuxuan glanced at him and said to himself, "It is said that this person is quick-witted and resourceful. He is both agile in the career of the government and is profitable on the Silk Road. He is also generous in wealth and provides relief to the poor, and has a good reputation."

"I heard of Daming for a long time, but I didn't know how to see him at first." Galan asked, "Where is the current position?"

"Wuwei Yingyang Mansion Cangcai participated in the military."

Ying Yanglang of the Yingyang Mansion of Wuwei is Yuan Hongsi's confidant. It is said that he is still a relative of his marriage. The relationship between the two is extraordinary. Li Gui is a heroic man in Hexi, and black and white are both. He has mixed connections in the five counties of Hexi, and is the most suitable candidate for handling secret affairs. It is thousands of miles away from Dunhuang to Honghua. If Yuan Hongsi wants to transfer Xue Deyin safely out of the northwest, he must transfer in Wuwei to make security.

"Since he is kind and generous, is he a monk disciple or a Lou Guan believer?"

"He is a famous donor in Hexi." Mao Yuxuan smiled, "If he neither believes in Buddhism nor believes in him, he believes in his fists and his money."

"Are you sure it's him?" Galan asked.

Mao Yuxuan nodded gently.

"In this way, Taiping Palace also noticed him." Galan's eyes turned to a yellow-robed and tall Taoist priest sitting in the east of the lobby. "The practitioners of Taoism also came to the place of pleasure. Is this worldly practice or is he willing to fall into the depravity?"

"You don't know that famous Taoist priest?" Mao Yuxuan pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes exaggeratedly.

Jia Lan looked at Mao Yuxuan suspiciously and looked at it carefully again, but because it was too far away, the lights were swaying and people were flowing, so she couldn't see it clearly, so she said angrily, "It must not be Master Taiping."

Mao Yuxuan scoffed and joked, "Jia Lan, how do you go to Chang'an like this? Your eyes are dark and you will definitely die."

Galan buried her head in drinking and eating vegetables, and ignored her.

Mao Yuxuan laughed proudly, "Tell you that he is Shi Ziyu, a Taiping Yushi, the descendant of Master Taiping's Taoism, and the future palace master of Taiping Palace. It is said that he is also the most likely person to become an immortal in Louguan Dao in recent years."

Galan was slightly surprised, and the chopsticks in his hand paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Master Taiping's youngest son? Is the shameless thief who rumored to use a hundred women to practice the Ascension Method as a Cauldron?"

"It was the yi Yuxuan who curled his lips contemptuously, "It is said that he is studying the art of combining dual cultivation. The girl from Zhongnan Mountain cried and shouted that she wanted to go to Taiping Palace to practice dual cultivation with him..."

Jia Lan shook her hand and signaled Mao Yuxuan to whisper. Such rumors in the market are not true. Many times, monks believers deliberately spread rumors to slander Taoist sects, just like Taoist slandering monks for doing miserable things, everyone laughed in private and talked about it without any harm. But today Shi Ziyu is in this lobby. If something goes wrong and it will be a shameful thing.

"What do you want to do?" Galan asked.

Mao Yuxuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and a sly smile quietly passed across his face.
