Chapter 2

(please collect red tickets!)

Out of the gate of the general's house of the border army, Fang Xie stepped on the thick snow and walked all the way to jinyuanfang. Because the snow is too thick, the sound of stepping on it is particularly clear.

"Fang Xie, I heard that I went out to kill thieves today?"

Aunt he, who came out not far away to wash dirty clothes, asked with a smile.

This is a woman who insists that she was as delicate and beautiful as a flower ten years ago. Maybe life is really a piece of fat. After feeding for ten years, she turned a flower into an aunt with pockmarks on the waist of a bucket, but there is no doubt that this does not prevent aunt he from being still proud now.

"Yes, aunt he is handsome again recently. The daughter-in-law of the old Chen family who came through the door a few days ago doesn't look good to you."

"Oh... Do you realize now that I'm more charming than Hua? When I was wandering the Jianghu, people chasing me could row from fangucheng to the imperial capital."

"Aunt he, your words can be said to be in my heart. Every time I see you, I have a pleasant feeling. It's like sitting on the green grass in the warm spring and enjoying a blooming flower, not to mention enjoying it."

Aunt he's round face turned red. She couldn't help but pinch and asked, "what flower does my mother look like?"

Fang Xie thought carefully, and then said sincerely, "morning glory."

"Why?"

Aunt he was stunned and asked with some confusion.

Fang Xie looked at Aunt he's huge chest and round face, and then sincerely praised: "the more you go up, the bigger you will open."

"Fang Jue Xiao!"

A furious cry exploded in the alley, and then someone jumped out of the alley like a lost dog. The speed was amazing. Immediately after that, a huge wooden basin flew out of the alley, fell to the ground with a slap and fell to pieces.

Fang Xie only felt that the wind was blowing in his ears, and he thought proudly. It seems that his lightness skills have improved a lot these days.

Before running thirty steps away, aunt he shouted in the back with a voice that could shake the whole fan Gucheng: "Fang Jue Xiao, I arranged to take you on a blind date the day after tomorrow. I'm the daughter of the old Wu family in the east of the city. If you dare to be late, I'll smash the signboard of Jinyuan square!"

Fang Xie immediately stopped, looked back at Aunt he and asked, "smashed jinyuanfang... Don't you want your dividend?"

Aunt he crossed her waist and roared, "just tell me whether you're going or not!"

Before Fang Xie could answer, the doors and windows of each family in the street opened one after another. A girl stood by the window and shouted eagerly, "Fang Jue Xiao, if you dare to go on a blind date, I'll jump down!"

"Fang juexiao, if you dare to find another woman, I will become a nun now!"

"Fang Jue Xiao! You ungrateful man!"

A woman said angrily, "Fang Jue Xiao! If you dare to kill my daughter, I'll kill you - feed the root to the dog!"

A young woman shed tears and regretted how she married so early.

Only at the age of 26, the widow grandson, who had been widowed for five years, leaned against the door frame, knocked melon seeds and said softly, "Xiao fangxie, you should come often when you take your daughter-in-law."

Fang Xie dared to stay more and ran out like a loaded shell. When he ran past widow sun's door, he suddenly and fiercely stopped, and then quickly squeezed a handful on widow sun's full chest: "every time you don't mind chaos, you always let me carry the black pot. If I really ate you, I'd just peek at you and take a bath. Do you want to repay me for my life..."

After pinching it, it felt very good. Fang Xie couldn't help pinching it again, and even could accurately find the raised position across the thick cotton padded clothes: "this is interest!"

After Fang Xie succeeded, she immediately began to run again, and the sun widow who left a red face was surprised to lose all the melon seeds.

Thinking that she was really taken by the little thing this time, widow sun couldn't help being angry: "Fang Jue Xiao, you can touch it again next time!"

While running, Fang Xie turned back and shouted, "I won't be fooled for the second time! Looking at the drum... How many layers of cotton did you put on!"

Widow sun was so embarrassed that she hid her face and went back to her room.

The widow sun in the room untied her coat, took out a large soft cloth from her profanity, and threw it on the ground. The widow sun was slightly angry and said to herself, "if I don't pad a high point, can you catch it?"

But at the thought of such a thick thing just now, Fang Xie could accurately touch a certain point, and her face couldn't help getting red and hot.

"Shit... I was molested by a half-aged boy."

Thinking of this, widow sun fiercely stood up and her face was determined.

It's so easy to eat my tofu. Let me seize the opportunity and drain your tofu brain at one go! The widow sun standing in the room was like a fighter with high morale. At this time, those little daughters-in-law and girls who stood at the window and watched Fang Xie run away were confused. Someone couldn't help looking at the back and said, "running is so handsome..."

oh dear!

At the corner of the street, someone slipped and fell forward. He was handsome in a mess.

……

Fan Gu is a border city in the northwest of the great Sui Dynasty. This small city with a radius of only three and a half miles is the most outpost in the northwest of the great Sui Dynasty. Out of the city gate, less than 60 miles west, there is a not tall and towering mountain range, stretching from north to south. In the words of those border troops in Fangu City, that mountain bag is like countless milk - seeds.

In fact, this mountain range is called langru mountain range. It is said that the royal family of the Mongolian Yuan Empire, which has a dominant position in the endless grassland, is the descendants of the gray wolf, and their ancestors were born in this mountain range.

But what made the people of the Mongol Yuan Empire sad, angry and helpless was that since the rise of the Empire called the great Sui in the southeast, this mountain range no longer completely belonged to them. Of course, it does not completely belong to the great Sui Dynasty.

One hundred and twenty years ago, after the founding of emperor Yang Jian, Emperor Gaozu of the great Sui Dynasty, the troops of the great Sui Dynasty continued to expand their territory. In the past 30 years, they have never lost a hundred battles.

Until the troops of the great Sui Dynasty hit the wolf milk mountains to the west, the most powerful Mongolian Yuan Empire in the West could no longer tolerate the aggressiveness of the emerging country of the great Sui Dynasty. Four hundred thousand iron cavalry went out of the grassland and crossed the wolf milk mountain to attack the Sui army, but it was speechless that the grassland elite cavalry, known as the invincible in the world, didn't get any advantage in the decisive battle with the 120000 elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty.

Although the Sui army lacked war horses, the formation of their elite infantry was as solid as the Yanshan Mountains in the south. The 400000 Mongolian Yuan cavalry died in the war, and the elite soldiers of the Sui Dynasty also lost a full 40000. Unwilling to be defeated, the Mongol Yuan Empire mobilized heavy troops. Meng Kuo, known as Tian Khan, personally led 200000 golden tent cavalry to support him. He happened to meet Yang Jian, the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

The elite soldiers of the 100000 Sui zuowuwei, youwuwei, Zuo Xiaowei and Zuo Yuwei met with the 200000 golden tent cavalry of the Mongolian Yuan Empire. Relying on various battle formations composed of hard spears and huge shields, Yang Jian won all three wars and forcibly forced Meng Kuo back to the west of the wolf milk mountain. This battle was greatly humiliated by the Mongolian Yuan royal family.

After six years of fierce fighting between the two sides, the Mongolian Yuan Empire was unable to recover its face, and the newborn Sui Dynasty was unable to enter the grassland. Finally, the two sides signed an agreement at the foot of langru mountain, with langru mountain as the boundary, the west of langru mountain as the territory of the Mongolian Yuan Empire, and the east of langru mountain as the territory of the Sui Dynasty.

So there is fan Gu, a border city on the side of langrushan, and there is a stone city called Nirvana on the other side of langrushan.

Nearly a hundred years have passed since this agreement was signed, and the two sides still maintain peace. But whether it was the great Sui Dynasty or the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, successive emperors wanted to really defeat each other and achieve eternal prestige.

The Sui Dynasty was located in the Central Plains, mainly for farming and animal husbandry, and lacked all kinds of skins, jade, cattle and sheep. In particular, it was impossible to go deep into the grassland without war horses. The Mongol Yuan Empire lacked iron, salt, brocade, tea and wine in the Central Plains, and their infantry were too weak to face the numerous cities in the Central Plains.

The fan gubian army on this side of the wolf milk mountain and the wolf riders in Nirvana city on that side all want to beat down each other's towns one day, and then ride on each other's soldiers to pull a piece of shit. But three years ago, after Yang Yi, the sixth emperor of the great Sui Dynasty, met with the 30th generation Khan mengge of the Mongolian Yuan Empire, fan Gucheng had another identity.

market

Merchants in the Sui Dynasty could transport the scarce goods on the grassland to fangucheng in exchange for cattle, sheep, leather and jade in the hands of grassland herdsmen. The first, eighth, eleventh, eighteenth, twenty-first and twenty-eight days of each month are the market opening days. In order to exchange the necessary salt tea and brocade cloth, herdsmen have to queue outside the city gate early, regardless of cold or heat.

In the eyes of these herdsmen, the big Sui border army in fangucheng is really disgusting. But none of them dared to make trouble, because Li Xiaozong, the general of the border army, was a very fair and harsh man. All the herdsmen who made trouble were whipped for 30 or directly cut their heads and hung them on the flagpole. So the herdsmen hated him and feared him.

Not only that, if the merchants in the Central Plains cheat the herdsmen, or if Li Xiaozong knows about their acts of forced buying and selling, they will be punished the same severely. The rules are still simple. Depending on the seriousness of the case, they can be whipped for 30 or cut off their heads and hung on the flagpole for public display. So the herdsmen respected him and loved him.

It should be noted that none of the people who had been whipped for 30 survived for five days.

What needs to be explained is that the whip used for execution is tied with copper money, and the blood and meat in the stool are blurred when the whip goes down. Therefore, the only difference between 30 lashes and beheading is that the former tortured person can barely drop a whole human body.

However, Li Xiaozong, a general of the border army, also said that bullying grassland people is nothing, but if the rules of fan Gucheng are broken, if those grassland people are forced not to come, more than 100000 liang of white silver will disappear every year, which is absolutely intolerable.

……

……

The eighth day of February is the day when the trade market is open. The herdsmen honestly paid taxes at the gate of the city, and then rushed to the market to exchange what they needed. At noon, fan Gucheng began to become more heated and noisy. Herdsmen with surplus money and businessmen from the Central Plains who have made money will flock to restaurants, brothels and casinos. Therefore, on every market day, what the brothel woman hates most is that she is inconvenient at this time and makes less money from the bounty in the benefactor's pocket.

The herdsmen highly praised the brocade and tea in the Central Plains, and more highly praised the white and beautiful skin of the women in the Central Plains. Although there are many beautiful women in the grassland, most of them have to graze in the wind and sun, so their skin is very black, and their waist is thick like a bucket. Compared with those slightly powdered women in the brothel, they are almost on the ground one by one.

These herdsmen are forthright and basically won't leave fangucheng with their surplus money. They just need to take away the goods. The five baht money in the big Sui Dynasty has no meaning for them. Therefore, the girls in Louzi prefer the grassland herdsmen. On the contrary, the merchants in the central plains are very stingy.

In fact, the main purpose of many herdsmen coming to Fangu city is not to exchange goods, but to enter Fangu's three buildings for recreation and excitement.

The so-called third floor is Hakka Shengju, tea moves and Jinyuan square.

A restaurant, a brothel, a gambling shop.
