    Chang'an!  Chang'an!  This is the capital of the Han Dynasty, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, the soul of the world, and the center of the world!  The thin man stepped into the gate of the outer city. Although there was a sergeant guarding him, the sergeant did not embarrass him. Instead, he greeted him: "Hey, Jiao Langjun, you are back and how drunk you are."  "How many beatings did you get and how much did you miss out on drinks?" The thin man known as Jiao Langjun suddenly stared: "What nonsense are you talking about? How often have I been drunk and how often have I missed out on drinks?" "Last time in Lu San?"  "Who was poured out in Madam's house?" The soldier laughed and said, "Also, who was almost hanged when we went back to the Xiankelai Restaurant in the West Market?" Jiao Langjun suddenly had a look on his face.  He turned red, then stared: "What do you know? I am a master of wine tasting. If a master of wine tasting drinks, do you still need to pay? You just have to pay. How can you say you are a failure if you pay a few days late? At most, you owe money."  , Just don¡¯t pay back the money you owe!¡± Then everyone burst into laughter, but no one noticed the big package on Jiao Langjun¡¯s back.  Or in the eyes of people who know him well, Jiao Langjun is a drunkard. The things he carries must be related to drinking. If it is not good wine, it is special drinking utensils.  Jiao Langjun originally wanted to argue a few words, but at this time, he saw a horse and a follower approaching from a distance behind him.  The person riding on the horse was Ye Chang, and the person following him was Shan Zhi.  "Oh, these two people are here too, let's go, let's go!" When he thought of the "eccentricities" of these two people, Jiao Langjun felt creepy. Avoiding these two people was more important than arguing with the soldiers guarding the city gate.  !  Jiao Langjun ignored the soldiers' ridicule and ran away, running far away in the blink of an eye.  "Hey, why is this guy gone? He usually makes trouble for a long time." The soldier guarding the city gate was surprised: "Have you changed your gender today?" It didn't take long for Ye Chang and Shi Shanzhi to arrive in front of the city gate.  .  "It's really amazing, it's amazing. No wonder the masters in the temple will say a few words to anyone who has been to Chang'an!" This is the seventh time Shanzhi has said the same words, and he was shown by the city of Chang'an even though he was far away.  Shocked by the grandeur that came out, the originally straightforward monk turned into a nagging old woman, who kept chanting. Ye Chang was sure that even though he chanted "Amitabha" many times a day, he did not chant about the city of Chang'an.  Many times.  But Ye Chang couldn't laugh at him, because he himself wasn't much better.  Ye Chang is not an ignorant person, but when faced with such an imposing Chang'an City, he was so shocked that he could hardly move at the first moment.  This city gate is the main south gate of Chang'an City. It is called Mingde. Its east-west span is nearly twenty feet. There are five doorways under the city, each of which is more than two feet wide. The wall between two adjacent doorways is  One foot thick.  When he walked into the city gate, he was stunned for a while by what he saw in front of him.  Passing through Mingde Gate is the largest street in Chang'an City, Zhuque Street. The long street is fifty feet wide, which is equivalent to one hundred and fifty meters in later generations!  There are elm and locust trees planted on both sides of the street, and there are drainage ditches beside the trees. It has just passed the Dragon Boat Festival and it is midsummer. Those big trees provide continuous green shade, making this giant city feel cool everywhere.  On such a majestic street, people are bustling with people, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going. There are typical people of the Tang Dynasty with black hair and black eyes, as well as foreign business envoys with colorful eyes and colorful hair.  Ye Chang was shocked by this familiar yet unfamiliar scene. Standing in the street, he even forgot to take a step.  It wasn¡¯t until someone urged him behind him that he moved towards the city.  There are more than 100 squares in two cities in the entire city of Chang'an. Each city is surrounded by walls. The walls are usually equipped with four gates, southeast, northwest and four. However, due to "Feng Shui", the dozens of squares facing the palace only have east and west gates.  There are no north and south gates.  The doors of almost all houses and shops open to squares or cross streets in the city. People without a certain identity are not allowed to open the door to the main street.  Therefore, Ye Chang did not see any shops on both sides of Zhuque Street while walking.  "It's so big, how long does it take to walk to the end?" Shi Shanzhi asked after walking a short distance beside Ye Chang.  "I asked, they said it was in Lizhengfang." Ye Chang said.  They entered Chang'an. Because Ye Chang was a civilian, he had already dismounted and could only lead the horse forward.  Ye Chang stopped an old man walking slowly by the side of the road. Just as he was about to ask questions, a strong wind suddenly rose, and the originally tidy Chang'an City was suddenly filled with yellow sand and dust.  The blockage made it difficult for Ye Chang to breathe, let alone ask questions.  The strange wind blew for a while before it stopped. Looking at Chang'an City again, Chang'an City, which was amazing just now, was now hidden in the dust.  Ye Chang spit out all the dust he accidentally ate in his mouth. At this time, he suddenly remembered the famous line in Tang poetry, "The morning rain in Weicheng is filled with light dust."?This isn't light dust, it's clearly a sandstorm!  "Ahem Dad, how can I get to Xuanpingfang?" The old man covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves before the dust started, so he was fine. At this time, he smiled and said: "Mr. Lang is new to us.  "Chang'an, when the wind blows, you have to cover your mouth and nose. You have to remember it in the future." "Why is there so much dust in Chang'an" "There are many people and the muddy ground is naturally dusty. In the autumn of last year, there was waterlogging in the city."  The ground everywhere is soaked with water, so this year there is more dust than in previous years. What Mr. Cai asked was Xuanpingfang? That's not far away. From here, go north, between Jingshanfang and Guangfufang.  Turn east and pass Yongle Fang, Yongning Fang, and then Xuanping Fang." A series of names came out of the old man's mouth. Although he said it simply, Ye Chang felt his head was spinning.  The old man looked at their attires again: "In my humble opinion, you two should find an inn to stay first. We have an inn in Baoning Square. It's already late, and we'll be there in a few hours at most."  If there is a curfew, if you two can't get there at that time, you may be invited by the Wuhous. "Ye Chang knew that this was the rule at this time. If there are still people wandering on the streets after the curfew, they will have to go to the capital.  Zhao went to eat the board.  He looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late, so he asked the old man again: "What I said is true, but how can I get to Xuanpingfang tomorrow?" "If you enter the city from Yanxing Gate in the east, how can you get there?  Xinchangfang is Xuanpingfang. But from here By the way, do you see that kind of car?" Ye Chang looked towards the road and saw a strange gray carriage approaching.  Any one Ye Chang had seen before was longer, pulled by two horses, and there was a sign hanging on the body. The sign said "Mingde Gate, Zhuque Gate" with six characters.  In the middle of the big characters, there were some small characters. Ye Chang looked carefully and saw that there were eighteen names of the houses.     the bus!  Ye Chang's first thought was this. He stared at the strange carriage in disbelief.  Datang actually already has buses!  And the appearance of the brand on this bus is so similar to those of later generations of buses!  "When you take this kind of oil-walled car, pay attention to the sign on it, and you can get to where you want to go." The old man said.  "The oil-walled carriage I ride the oil-walled carriage, and the man rides a green horse. Where can we unite as one, under the pines and cypresses in Xiling" Ye Chang originally didn't know the name of this carriage, because Xiuwu County is too small, and it is over there.  I have never seen such a car before.  But after hearing the old man's words, he immediately remembered Su Xiaoxiao's famous poem from the Southern Dynasties. It turned out that this car was an oil-walled car!  This car is coated with oil, so it is not afraid of the sun and rain, so it can be used as a public transport carriage.  Those wealthy families even have special luxury extended-version oil-walled cars, decorated with splendid colors and paired with famous horses. It is really a BMW car that fills the road.  Datang used oil-walled trucks as public transportation in big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang. This was something Ye Chang had not been mentally prepared for before.  He looked at the appearance of the oil-walled carriage and realized that it still had the biggest drawback of the mainstream carriages in ancient China, which was the lack of steering device.  "Hey, Shishilang, why are you staring at a car in a daze? The old benefactor has already said that we need to find a place to live quickly I heard from the masters in Chang'an that there are many good advices in Chang'an.  Just one cake, steamed pancakes, steamed pancakes, soup cakes, and pancakes" "Okay, okay, stay here immediately so that you, the monk, can eat enough!" Ye Chang immediately interrupted the monk's chatter.  The two of them entered Baoningfang as the old man pointed out.  Ye Chang had previously thought that the markets in Chang'an City were the East and West Markets. At that time, he was still curious. Given the size of Chang'an, if someone wanted to buy a needle and thread, they would have to rush to the East and West Markets. Wouldn't that be extremely extreme?  waste time.  Now he realizes how ridiculous his original idea was. The East and West cities are well-known and crowded with business travelers, but they are places like high-end commercial districts in later generations. In the "fangs" where people live, there are also small businesses of their own.  , whether it is a shop selling groceries and snacks, or an inn for travelers to stay, there is everything you need.  "Ma Kee Innit's right here." Ye Chang said after seeing the swaggering flag.  As soon as they stopped in front of the inn, someone came up to greet them warmly.  Although the inn is not large in scale, there are several people entering the courtyard. The waiter took his horse to settle it, while the two of them came to choose a place to stay.  If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely choose a cheap Tongbu, but Ye Chang was somewhat greedy for enjoyment and asked for a single room for himself.  When asked about the monk, the waiter who greeted him said: "This master does not need to live in the shop. There is Baoning Temple just a few doors away from the shop. The master can place orders here and save a few pennies."  "Money."But they are driving away guests.  Shanzhi smiled and said. "Master, you have to go out for a while. Our Baoningfang is so big. It will be troublesome for the master to check out after seeing Baoning Temple."  The waiter said with a smile: "Besides, we went to Ma Kee Inn for a century-old store. Reputation is more important than a few pennies."  Ye Chang listened happily: "Okay, okay, but this monk doesn't like living in the temple. There are many rules in the temple, and he doesn't abstain from eating meat."  To save money for me, I arranged for him to live in Tongpu. Also, tell us where there is a delicious soup cake shop.  " "Okay, our soup cake shop is Lao Ning's. It's just a few doors east when you go out. You can look at their sign.  Although people say that the soup cakes in the West Market are good, in fact, they are all said by outsiders. The best soup cakes in Chang'an City have to be found in shops like our Baoningfang.  " The waiter's rather proud words made Ye Chang immediately fall in love with the people of Chang'an City. This city was at its most glorious. The people in the city were confident and optimistic, and at the same time they did not lose the atmosphere of a prosperous dynasty. Enter  In the square, they are not afraid of the curfew - the curfew of the Tang Dynasty was that no one was allowed to walk in the main street. As for the square, it was not restrictive. Ye Chang and Shanzhi were determined to try the Lao Ning's soup cake, which was highly recommended by the waiter.  As soon as the two of them went out, they heard a burst of people shouting and screaming. The waiter rushed over to meet them, and saw a group of more than ten people, all wearing different clothes.  He was from the Tang Dynasty, but he was not a barbarian from the Western Regions. He seemed to be a naturalized species from the frontier. Ye Chang looked over there in surprise. He had always heard that people from all ethnic groups gathered in Chang'an City. He originally thought they were just gathering for business.  I never expected to see the prosperous East-West Second Market in this small shop. This sight immediately attracted the attention of one of the visitors. When the man saw Ye Chang, his expression suddenly changed: "Hey!  " The person next to the man asked: "What's wrong?  " "Look at that Tang Dog over there!  The man from before said: "Look, does it look like the one we killed?"  " The person who asked the question also looked at Ye Chang, and then his expression changed drastically: "Hey, this guy is not dead?  " "Damn, it seems he was pretending to be dead last time Did he recognize us?  " "Looking at his appearance, I haven't completely recognized him yet, I'm just a little confused What should I do? If this guy is prosecuted by the government, it will be a small matter for us to be caught, but it will ruin the important matter of the commander, and the whole family will be wiped out.  Guilty!  " Two naturalized Hu people whispered in Hu language. Not to mention that Ye Chang couldn't hear what they said. Even if Ye saw it, he wouldn't understand what they meant. Ye Chang just felt a little strange. Why were there two of these Hu people?  He always stared at himself, and his eyes were extremely evil: "No matter what, I can't let this guy live.  "One of the two Hu men said again. "But this is Chang'an, how can we take action?  " "Let's keep an eye on it first to see if this Tang Gou has leaked anything about Jieshuai. If not, then look for an opportunity to take action. If it has been leaked, we must go back and report Jieshuai immediately.  " The two naturalized Hu people murmured a few more words, and then stopped looking at Ye Chang, and Ye Chang also lost interest in watching the excitement. He and Shanzhi walked eastward to the old Ning's soup cake.  But not long after, the group of naturalized Hu people scattered in twos and threes throughout Baoningfang, and some of them also entered the old Ning's soup cake shop. They looked at Ye Chang and Shan Zhi.  His eyes were always a bit unkind, and although he had a careless temper, he felt something was wrong at this time: "These guys are really hateful, are they trying to stir up trouble?  "
