Chapter 15 Five Cities in Xi'an
Pushing the door open, the early morning sun sprinkled on his face. Fu Tingxuan couldn't help stretching his waist. The two-month retreat practice was not just a joke. It almost suffocated Fu Tingxuan to death, which made Fu Tingxuan have to admire those old monsters who were closed for several years.
Fu Tingzhu and Jiang Hao may not have woken up yet. After all, it's just after five o'clock, but the inn has opened. There's nothing we can do. There are people who are used to getting up early.
Several people in the inn have been having breakfast. They are all regular customers here. When Xiao Er saw Fu Tingxuan, he had already entered the kitchen to serve food, so as soon as Fu Tingxuan sat down, the food had been brought to the table by Xiao Er.
Fu Tingxuan has gained a lot in the past two months. Although he has not broken through the fourth layer of the Blood Festival Magician, his internal strength is much deeper and purer. "Big Blood Magic Hand" is also a small success.
It didn't take long for Fu Tingxuan to eat. Fu Tingzhu and Jiang Hao came down from upstairs. The two guys have not relaxed for two months, and their practice is also diligent.
"Brother, you are out of the customs!" Fu Tingzhu saw Fu Tingxuan, who was devouring, and shouted happily.
Fu Tingxuan nodded without answering, and continued to sweep the food on the table. Fu Tingzhu and Jiang Hao trotted to the table and sat down, and Xiao Er immediately brought two more breakfasts.
"Brother, what's the progress these days?" Fu Tingzhu asked while nibbling on the big white steamed buns.
Fu Tingxuan wiped his mouth and replied with a smile, "The internal strength is much purer. "Big Blood Demon Hand" is also the first glimpse of the door."
"Brother, your talent is really jealous. I haven't broken through the third level yet. I guess it will take half a month." Fu Tingzhu said enviously.
Fu Tingxuan smiled and said, "Nonsense, your brother, I'm an ordinary person. Don't you have Jiang Hao at the bottom? What are you afraid of?"
"Brother Fu, you are so shameless." Jiang Hao didn't expect that he was hit by an arrow while lying down, and said speechlessly.
Fu Tingxuan smiled, put down the bowl and chopsticks, poured a glass of water, and drank leisurely.
But Fu Tingxuan and the other two don't know that a major event is about to happen in Xi'an that will shock the whole country, and it is constantly approaching. In Xi'an and the surrounding four cities, officers and soldiers are gathering urgently. Some big people or knowledgeable superiors have begun to gather the forces they have in their hands.
Xi'an City also began to recruit soldiers, and the treatment was much higher than the previous salary. The imperial court also sent millions of troops to Yuncheng and Sanmenxia City. The indigenous people in Sanmenxia City also retreated early, and a strong smell of gunpowder could be smelled in the air.
After breakfast, Fu Tingxuan and the other three went to the street. Fu Tingxuan took a few steps and saw the recruitment notice posted on the wall. After a few glances, Fu Tingxuan was a little anxious. Now the fool can also see that something is going to happen to Xi'an.
Xi'an City hasn't fought a war for many years. Now it's suddenly recruits. It's not to plot a rebellion. Is it because Tianyong has so much money that there is no place to spend it?
Immediately returned to the inn, Fu Tingxuan and the other two immediately left the city. They also bought three fast horses and moved towards Youzhou. Fortunately, they left early, otherwise in another day, Fu Tingxuan would not be able to get out of the city gate.
Youzhou is the first stop for the invasion of the Liao people. There are more soldiers in the city than the people. The reason why Fu Tingxuan wants to go is that there are many heroes in Youzhou, and it is much easier to form his own power.
Rao is riding a fast horse. It takes about five days for Fu Tingxuan to think of Youzhou. Two thousand miles is not a joke. During this period, they have to pass through the three cities of Baoji, Tianshui and Dingxi. ( Please don't compare with reality. The location of Youzhou is where Lanzhou is.)
As a result, as soon as Fu Tingxuan and the three of them arrived in Tianshui City, news came from Xi'an that Tianyonghou Bukai rose up and became the king and became the "King of Heaven". Xi'an City first announced its separation from the State of Tang, and the four cities of Tongchuan, Weinan, Xianyang and Shangluo also announced their separation from the State of Tang.
This move shocked the whole country, but followed by the declaration of independence of more than a dozen cities in the east. For a while, there was continuous chaos in the Tang Dynasty, and the corruption of the imperial court came one after another.
When Fu Tingxuan heard this news, although he had expected it for a long time, he was still shocked. Bu Kai was so bold that he dared to openly challenge the court. Although the court is corrupt, there are still 30 million soldiers and horses, and the number of officers and soldiers in the five cities of Xi'an is no more than 2 million. How to compete? But with the declaration of independence in other cities, Fu Tingxuan also understood that Bu Kai had already planned it.
However, these have nothing to do with Fu Tingxuan. There are four million soldiers and horses in Youzhou. Bu Kai dares not call in any case. There is no need to consider the security problem at all.
Two days later, Fu Tingxuan and the other two finally arrived in Youzhou. The defense of Youzhou City was strict. Fu Tingxuan and the other two even took a lot of effort to enter the city and stuffed several ingots of silver before they were released. This made Fu Tingxuan more relieved. The soldiers in Youzhou City have seen blood, and their combat effectiveness is not comparable to those soldiers who can only collect money.
When Fu Tingxuan arrived in the city, he took out the letter given by the Fu family. The addresses of the blacksmith's shop and the pub are on it. The blacksmith's shop is on the first street in the north of the city, and the tavern is also on the third street in the north of the city.
Fu Tingxuan and Fu Tingzhu went to the tavern first. Although there was no hope, Fu Tingxuan and Fu Tingxuan were still depressed after seeing the tavern.
It's really a tavern. It's really small. Although there is a second floor, there are only five tables in the whole tavern. When Fu Tingxuan and the three of them went in, there was no one in it.
"Sungr, what do you want?" The old shopkeeper didn't raise his head and asked in a low voice.
Fu Tingxuan slapped the letter of introduction given by the Fu family on the table. The old shopkeeper picked up the letter of introduction and read it for a long time before he said weakly, "It turned out to be sent by the family. I am the shopkeeper of this pub, Fu Guo, and here is my grandson Fu Mu."
Fu Tingxuan looked at the pub with some disappointment and said, "We'll give you the money. Can you find someone to decorate it?"
"Oh, you have money, but there is no need to decorate this pub. It's too shabby. It will fall off as soon as you touch it." The old shopkeeper didn't know whether he was reading the account book or something, and said in a low voice.
Fu Tingxuan thought about it and said, "If you want, you can also be the shopkeeper of our pub. We want to buy a shop on the first street and open a pub."
"Oh, if you don't dislike it, I'm naturally happy to be an old man." The old shopkeeper raised his head and said with a smile.
Because the old shopkeeper had to wait for his grandson, Fu Tingxuan and Fu Tingzhu went to the blacksmith's shop. I hope the blacksmith's shop would not be like this pub.
However, Fu Tingxuan was stunned when he saw the blacksmith's shop again. This Nima is really too different from his imagination. It is estimated that no blacksmith's shop can be as "tute" as this blacksmith's shop.
