The fourth hundred spirits chapter seven

"I'm selling cakes, fragrant and crispy scallion pancakes. If you take a bite, you will definitely want to take a second bite."

Yu Chaoen was surprised to hear the hawkers on the street. He thought that there were no authentic Tang Yin and Han words in this city. He didn't expect that although the accents of those vendors were a little weird, he could still listen to them.

"Get ten cakes."

After asking the followers to pay, Yu Chaoen started to chew onion. The rich mutton oil mixed with the fragrance of onion was quite unique. A few people ate ten cakes in a while, and ordered mutton soup from the vendor.

The hawker's business is quite good, and the food comes to eat is all merchants who are like Yu Chaoen and others. The merchants whispered and discussed the news that had been circulating in the city recently. Yu Chaoen was very satisfied with hearing it. Now that the hearts of the people in the city are floating, the fake king even killed more than a dozen so-called spreading rumors, which made the rumors more realistic.

"I heard that the Tang Dynasty's army is coming soon. Should we leave the city first to hide?"

"Are you stupid? Where can you hide when you leave the city? If you encounter riots, let alone the goods cannot be saved, you will even lose your life."

"Then can't we go to Anuyue City? It will take only one day to hurry up."

"Don't think about it, we can't go anywhere now. Now we can only enter and exit the city. I heard that the pseudo king has asked Tubo for help, and the Tubo army is about to arrive."

"Why did it come so quickly? Didn't the Tang army capture Lianyun Fort?"

"Who knows that the Tang Dynasty and Tubo have been fighting for many years, and maybe the Tubo people have known the news for a long time."

Seeing the merchants at those tables, Yu Chaoen couldn't help but interrupt. Anyway, although the Silk Road was dominated by Sogdians, Persians, cannibals and even Freshmen were indispensable. In the end, everyone had to communicate with each other and talked about Tang Yan, so that they could understand the other person's meaning.

Even in this city of Nieduo, which had been ruled by the Tubo people for more than ten years, the pseudo king went to the Tang Dynasty to wear clothes and clothes, and should wear Tubo clothes, but in order to make a living, the people in this city still had to speak fluent Tang words, otherwise the business would not be able to be done, so those merchants would not listen to your local language.

"Everyone, I heard that the Tang Dynasty King's Army was more than 10,000 elite soldiers from the Anxi Army, and the Shenweitian General was even reincarnated by the gods and Buddhas. Nieduo City would definitely not resist the Tang Dynasty King's Army. Even the reinforcements from the Tubo people came, it would be useless."

Yu Chaoen was wearing a white Sogdian robe, a pointed hat, and a beard sticking to his lips. Because his skin was sunburned, it seemed to look like a bronze color, but his accent could not be changed. However, Hu Shangs at the other three tables were all awe-inspiring when they heard this. He could speak Tang Yan so fluently and not old. He must be the son of the big merchant in Chang'an City.

"Now I also heard that the pseudo-kings ordered the army to enter and not leave. We just wanted to leave here."

Seeing that the Hu merchants were looking at him, Yu Chaoen simply moved the stool and whispered among the people on the table, "We know all the virtues of the Tubo people. We may not be sure that the fake king will keep our caravans in the city, just to use our wealth to please the Tubo people!"

The dozen Hu Shangs were shocked after hearing this. They were all hang out on the Silk Road. Of course, they knew the cruelty and greed of the Tubo people. If they met the Tang army in Anxi, they only needed to give some money and the Tang army could escort them in their jurisdiction. But if they accidentally met the Tubo army in Xiaobolu and Humi Kingdom, they might lose both their lives and they would even have to pay them.

"It is said that the pseudo king is a bastard of Tubo Zamp. I didn't believe it very much, but now it seems that he is almost inseparable..."

"What should we do?"

Some people in the dozen Hu merchants murmured to themselves, and some were sweating coldly on their foreheads. Yu Chaoen's intimidation seemed likely to become a fact in their opinion. Only the territory controlled by the Tang Dynasty on the Silk Road was the most honest. If they were lucky enough to meet the Tang army in Anxi, and give some money, the Tang army would escort them in their jurisdiction. But if they were in Xiaobolu and Humi Kingdom, those who are now within the sphere of influence of the Tubo people, would be lucky to survive.

"I wonder what you call me?"

Someone from the dozen Hu Shangs suddenly asked Yu Chaoen. At this time, the panic-ridden other people looked over and suddenly realized that the person in front of him looked like an ordinary person. Not to mention the authentic Chang'an accent, just the guards following him, you can tell at a glance that he was the most elite warrior, but he was much better than the little Hu Shang who was holding a group to keep warm.

"My surname is Shi."

On the Silk Road, Shi, Shi, Cao, An, Kang and Bo were all big surnames used by Hu merchants. Seeing that Yu Chaoen was unwilling to be named, these Hu merchants did not dare to continue asking. The Hu merchants who were the first to ask said, "Brother Shi, can you help us?"

Suddenly, everyone stared at Yu Chaoen, with a look of hope on their faces. In their opinion, this great merchant surnamed Shi might have known some news that they didn't know, or had a way out of the city.

Yu Chaoen was about to answer, but Focas, who had never said much, suddenly pulled his clothes, which reminded him immediately that he was now pretending to be a profit-oriented Hu merchant. How could he be so enthusiastic about helping these peers? You must know that on the Silk Road, don’t see these Hu merchants being together, but when it’s the turn to be able to make a knife behind their backs, no one will be ruthless.

Seeing Yu Chaoen suddenly disappeared, the Hu merchants knew that this big merchant looked young, but had rich experience. Thinking about how could he be an ordinary person at this age when he could be released from his family to do business.

"As long as Brother Shi can help me get rid of this disaster, I am willing to take out 30% of the goods as a reward."

A Hu merchant spoke, and the others looked at me and I saw you. When Yu Chaoen looked unhurried, they all spoke in the end, expressing their willingness to offer 30% of the goods as a reward, as long as Yu Chaoen could help them get out.

"You all come here, listen to me."

More than a dozen Hu Shangs came to Yu Chaoen, and then listened to Yu Chaoen's low voice. He first showed a shock on his face, and then nodded secretly. When Yu Chaoen finished speaking, they understood, but they had no choice. If the fake king really wanted to attack them, the more people would gather together.

Yu Chaoen is willing to open his own warehouse for them to use, which is already a great kindness.
