Because their appearance was very different from that of the Uighurs, Li Chongrun and others put on shaman masks. Fortunately, although Buddhism and Manichaeism had been introduced to Mobei, the herdsmen who believed in shamans still accounted for the majority, so Li Chongrun
Not only did dressing up like this not arouse any suspicion, but she even received a lot of respect.
On the carriage shaft, Li Chongrun drove the carriage and complained to his two sisters and Alan who were sitting in the carriage.
"I heard that all the Turkic Yunzhong City is imitating the shape of our divine capital. Looking at it this way, it is indeed a bit embarrassing for the divine capital."
The Turks were originally nomadic and had no habit of settling in one place. This Yunzhong City was just built not long ago, but after all, it was difficult to find materials to build the city on this grassland, although the layout vaguely imitated that of Luoyang.
They look just a lot shorter and look a bit stingy.
However, as the carriage continued to move, everyone still saw several prosperous places.
"Sure enough, the most profitable thing in the world is to make money based on human desires."
Li Chongrun sighed with emotion. On the way there, he saw several splendid places, all doing business with two mouths.
Lunch was served by Uighur Prince, and we chose a restaurant that didn't look particularly luxurious, but was extremely popular.
Naturally, Li Chongrun didn't recognize the Turkic character on the plaque at the door, but when they entered the inner courtyard, Li Chongrun, Guo'er Xianhui and others all looked at each other and smiled.
It turns out that the decoration and layout of this restaurant have all been copied from the design of the Grand View Garden.
Even the couplet written by Li Chongrun in his handwriting: "Sometimes he is a gentleman or a villain, or he is a talented man or a beautiful woman, he will be seen as soon as he appears; sometimes he will be happy, sometimes he will be earth-shattering, and in the blink of an eye it will be all gone." They are all copied accurately.
"It seems that this store is also a wonderful person who went to the Grand View Garden to inspect it personally."
He murmured to Bao'er, but saw that a Turk dressed as a store boy had already jumped over without touching the ground to greet Qian'er to pick up the customer. Li Chongrun was afraid of exposing his identity, so he gave up asking for the copyright fee.
idea.
We arrived a little late, so of course there were no private rooms. Fortunately, there were not many people passing by. The waiter 21 apologized in the name of Qianer while leading everyone to an eight-cent table next to the stage.
Prince Fuyan was very embarrassed, so he thought about changing to a restaurant with private rooms. However, Li Chongrun wanted to see what the daily life of these Turkic nobles was like, so he repeatedly persuaded Fuyan in a low voice for a long time before letting him sit down.
Come down.
The table was tucked into a corner of the inner courtyard, a bit remote, and there were few people around. Li Chongrun didn't have to worry too much about exposing his identity, so he took off his mask first.
While waiting for the food to be served, after a burst of noise, Li Chongrun watched helplessly as several nobles wearing brocade robes with Khitan braids on their heads, holding one or several half-dressed Hu women, entered.
Went to the private room on the 2nd floor.
"Are all these Turks so unrestrained?"
After all, Bao'er was just a child, and he had never seen such a battle.
"If you had seen the Western Market after Jingjiegu, you wouldn't be so emotional."
Li Chongrun smiled and explained to Bao'er, but he still glanced at the drunken young nobleman just now.
Not sure if it was his own imagination, but Li Chongrun always felt that the boy wearing the crimson Khitan robe looked very familiar.
After pushing the cup and changing the cup, Li Chongrun was a little hesitant because of the figure just now, so Li Chongrun just tasted two cups of 2 Guotou mixed with an unknown amount of water and excused himself as he was not strong enough to stop drinking.
Xianhui is also a person who cannot drink, but after drinking two glasses, his cheeks are already as bright as peach blossoms.
In the end, it turned out that the brother and sister Guo'er and the Uighur fought fiercely to the end. They even had the courage to complain that the Hu people were just like that, and then fell asleep deeply in Li Chongrun's arms.
The Uighur guards and Ten-1 and Ten-3 were still waiting at the door. Li Chongrun arranged for the drunk cats to get on the carriage. He originally wanted to arrange for Ten-3 to track the boy, but he still hesitated when he spoke.
Then he ordered 11 to stay here and keep an eye on the boy in the crimson robe to find out where he lived.
Thirty-three was too upright, and Li Chongrun was really afraid that he would mistake the stalking for an assassination, so he happily came back with a head in the middle of the night to claim credit for himself.
——
It was already midnight when Shi1 came back, Alan was still doing evening classes, and Li Chongrun was staring at the bright stars outside the tent in a daze, when Shi1 rushed in carelessly.
"You're not hurt?"
When Shi1 first rushed in, he stumbled a bit and didn't look as capable as usual.
"No problem, no problem. I followed the boy to the opium den in my lowly position. Seeing that he stayed there for too long, I found an excuse to go in and check it out. I was a little heavy-headed by the smell inside the opium den.
"
It turned out that he had overdosed on drugs. Li Chongrun quickly called to the brother on duty at the door to bring him a pot of herbal tea, drank it in big gulps, and gave him two more injections. After a while, he saw Shi1's eyes gradually clearing up.
Some clear colors.
"What should I say? Have you found that guy's address?"
"Returning to the prince, the target person is sleeping in the opium den, but Shiyi found an unexpected surprise, which saved a lot of time."
10.1 took out a piece of bamboo paper from his arms, with a pattern of two lions fighting for the earth vaguely printed in red ink.
That's right, when he became the largest seller of special drugs in the imperial court, Li Chongrun thought of this spoof idea and paid tribute to a certain Hong Kong movie that became popular on the short video app "Why is it made rectangular?"
"Is it still our own business? This is really a f*cking surprise."

Li Chongrun was really relieved to know that it was his own store.
"The shop owner is from Yingzhou. It is said that he is a student that Mr. Chen brought from Yangzhou before. He is very familiar with the Turkic man."
10.1 turned over the piece of bamboo paper and wrote an address and name on it.
"Sure enough, it's my old classmate Ashina Fuku. He wasn't so thin when he was in Yingzhou."
When I met this old classmate in Yingzhou before, he was still chubby, but not long ago, why did he become so haggard?
However, the sentence after 10-1 solved Li Chongrun's doubts: "Your Majesty, the owner of our opium shop asked me to pass on a message to you. The quality of the goods sent from home is too good, and it can easily kill people. What he means is:
The first time you ship it, make it lighter. Not only is it much safer, but you can also sell it for more money."
"It turned out that he became a drug addict. No wonder the originally ambitious young man became as decadent as a rock 'n' roll player."
Li Chongrun shook his head and complained. Anyway, he had confirmed the identity of the boy. If necessary, he could go talk to him at any time.
Li Chongrun's original plan was to use his identity as a Uighur shaman to conduct private inquiries in Yunzhong City first, and then see if he could find any clues to see what conspiracy Mochu was up to.
However, the plan was far behind the changes. Early on the second day, before Li Chongrun could go out, the grassland arranged for the Uighurs to camp was surrounded by countless heavily armed Turkic cavalry.

"Did the news leak out?"
Bao'er was a little nervous, and he had indeed drunk a lot yesterday and was still a little hungover. His eyes were red, and Li Chongrun even saw some fear in them.
"Even if the news leaks out, with our status, unless Mochu prepares to rebel today, they will not attack us."
While placating Bao'er, Li Chongrun was actually a little worried. He quietly made a battle preparation gesture with Thirteen who was standing guard at the entrance of the tent, deciding to be ready to break out at any time if the situation went bad.
Fortunately, it turned out to be a false alarm. It turned out that Mo Chui had just heard that the Uighurs had camped outside the city, and Mo Chui actually came to Fu Yan to discuss matters.
"The Khan said that the Mohe people in the northeast, the Tubo people in the southwest, and the several big families in the pass who disliked the woman have all been taken care of. When the righteous flag is raised, there will be a crowd of responders?
The Khan also said, if you Uighurs like the rich land in the pass, just open your mouth. From now on, there will be no more white disasters. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
It's ridiculous to say that the Turks tried to win over the Uighurs to help them fight for their lives, but in the end they couldn't even find a translator who could speak Uyghur, and they could only translate their silent words into Chinese.
According to Li Chongrun's observations during his trip to Yunzhong, Prince Fuyan should know Turkic. At least he used Turkic when talking to his wife, and he spoke it very smoothly. But since the other party brought an interpreter
, I was not embarrassed, so I also brought an interpreter with me, and then translated the Turkic words into Chinese and then re-translated them into Uygur.
One sentence has to pass through the mouths of three people before it reaches the listener's ears, which is somewhat dark humor.
But it was also relying on this kind of black humor that Li Chongrun was able to understand what they were discussing behind the tent.

"I wonder when Khan is going to start an uprising? Can Xiao Wang go back and gather his troops?"
"The shaman of the tribe has requested Tengger's decree. There will be another white disaster this year. For the sake of the reproduction of the people, the army must be raised before winter! By then, the sons of the Uighurs and the brothers of all ethnic groups will be in this cloud together.
The city is garrisoned, and the Khan will personally lead an army of 100,000 to attack Yingzhou and march all the way to Luoyang, the sacred capital."
It turned out that he wanted to trade 1 for 1 with the imperial court. Li Chongrun lamented that the Turks' calculation was really good. He lost a small stone city at the cost of some miscellaneous troops. He took the elite to dig out the imperial court's hometown. That small stone city.
Changing the city to Luoyang, the sacred capital, this business would not be a loss no matter how you look at it.
Li Chongrun had already discussed it with Fu Yan beforehand. No matter what he said in silence, just agree to him.
Now that he knew Mochu's plan, Li Chongrun was still a little stunned. If it was true, as he said, that this united the Turks, Mohe, Shiwei, Tubo and even Han people to cause trouble, even if the imperial court knew the news, it would be extremely difficult.
Good.
After all, it was only the Khitan clan that rebelled, which had already brought the imperial court to disgrace, let alone the five-pronged attack on the Tang Dynasty.
"This matter is urgent. Although we Uighurs will never do anything to disgrace our benefactor, we still have to be careful of the Turks who have other plans for us Uighurs during the rebellion. I will go back to Jiebei first. I wonder if the prince needs help.
This city in the clouds?"
After being politely rejected by Li Chongrun, Fu Yan prepared to go home and report.
However, Fuyan still underestimated Mochu's shamelessness. Just when Fuyan was saying goodbye, Mochu actually detained his wife and sister.
"Prince Fuyan, just go. I will take care of the affairs of the female family members."
Thanks to his help in finding out the information, Li Chongrun naturally wanted to reciprocate the favor.
Not long after Fuyan left Yunzhong with the Uighur envoys, the factory guards who had lurked into Yunzhong began to take action.
