The people are busy, but in order.

Every once in a while, you can see the patrol guard passing by, and at the same time speak the slogan of fire prevention and theft prevention.

The guard at the city gate stood very straight. Although he could not go home for the New Year, his military pay for seven days off was double that of usual.

The usually lively Bian River is rarely cleaned. Next to the pier, the boats are parked neatly. No porters are seen, only a few children are playing on the boat.

The market next to the Bian River is more lively than the streets. Many vendors set up stalls here, and the things they sell are strange. Guo Hao is actually very interested in these.

Seeing Guo Hao walking into the market, Han Yu and Ziyun quickly followed. There were more people here than the streets and more complicated people, so they had to be careful.

What interested Guo Hao the most was that the Western Regions merchants standing in front of a few camels wouldn’t they go home for the New Year?

"How to sell rubies in this lesson?"

"One or two gold pieces per piece, you can buy more and it will be cheaper."

One or two gold!

Guo Hao gasped and looked up at the Western Regions merchant, thinking that someone was even more dark than him.

"It's a bit expensive. As far as I know, this gem is very common in the Western Regions and is not worth the money at all."

The merchant in the Western Region shook his head and said, "It was not worth it before, but now it is worth it. The Song army blocked the road, and even the merchants could not get through, and we could not go back."

Guo Hao felt a little moved when he heard this and asked with a smile: "Your Excellency thinks, is it right for the imperial court to do this?

You are from the Western Regions, so do you hope that the Western Regions will surrender to the Song Dynasty?”

"this……"

The merchant looked at Guo Hao vigilantly. If the government hadn't driven them away and treated them as usual, he would have thought Guo Hao was a spy sent by the government.

Seeing that the Western Regions merchants were hesitant, Guo Hao took out a crystal clear crystal with his back hand. It was actually a piece of glass. But the Western Regions merchants didn't know that, and their eyes lit up suddenly.

"I'll exchange this for your gem. Tell me what you think. Don't be afraid. I'm just a scholar and I won't hurt you."

The merchants in the Western Regions looked at Shui Jing, and finally couldn't resist the temptation. They looked around, called out to take care of their companions, and called Guo Hao aside.

Guo Hao followed, and Han Yu and Ziyun were naturally there. The Western Regions merchant glanced at the two of them, and Guo Hao smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, they are my disciples, you can say that."

The merchants in the Western Regions obviously stayed in the Central Plains for a long time and knew the culture of the Central Plains. They smiled at the two and looked at Guo Hao.

"I want to say that I agree to surrender to the Song Dynasty. After all, the Song Dynasty is so prosperous and lively, and it is not comparable to the Western Regions.

But we agree, but our king will not agree. If he loses his people and land, will he still be a king?"

The accent of the Western Regions merchants was very strange, and they felt a bit like a foreigner. Guo Hao held back his smile and nodded and signaled the merchant to continue speaking.

"Hey, as the people, we don't want to fight. Wars will kill people, and we can't do business. If only we can stop fighting, we can live in peace."

The merchants in the Western Regions talked for a long time and there was nothing nutritious. In fact, this was his cleverness. On the territory of the Song Dynasty, he naturally did not dare to slander Guo Hao in front of others.

But in the eyes of many Western Regions, Guo Hao is a devil, a demon, a tyrant who occupied their homes, and a robber who forced them to displace them.

This idea is not so easy to change. Ordinary people do not have as much knowledge as businessmen. For them, peace is what they want most.

Guo Hao originally wanted to ask why you didn’t surrender, but later gave up. As a ruler, he didn’t want the people to be in the same position as him.

He raised his hand to give the crystal to the Western Regions merchants, who also gave him the ruby. Guo Hao nodded with a smile, said nothing, and turned around and left.

Looking at Guo Hao's back, the Western Regions merchant sighed. He could see that Guo Hao was a man from the government and was likely to be a high-ranking official.

Now that the road has been blocked, he cannot go back home. The two countries are now at a strife. It would be nice if he doesn't suffer from skin here, so how dare he ask too much?

Guo Hao continued to stroll around the market, thinking about how to take down the Western Regions without bloodshed.

The title of King Gaochang is Asi Lan Han, and the Chinese translation is called Shizi Wang. His ancestors were the Xizhou Uighurs, and they were once ruled by the Tang Dynasty.

But the Tang Dynasty was a system of military governors, allowing the existence of local governments. As long as they belong to the Tang Dynasty in name, the court would not say anything.

But the Song Dynasty was different. Guo Hao adopted a centralized system. The local government only had the power of the regime and the security power. He must take back military power, and even economic development must be followed by the central government.

The two systems have essential differences, which is also the reason why the Master Wang is unwilling to surrender. It has nothing to do with the people. This is a contest between the two rulers.

But the rulers still have to pay for what they have to do. More than a hundred years ago, the Uighurs in Xizhou had become independent. At this time, it was the time for the country to be strong, so how could they surrender easily?

After thinking for a long time, this was completely unsolvable. The only thing Guo Hao could do was not harass the people after the city was broken and minimize the impact of the war.

Before he knew it, Guo Hao had already reached the end of the market, which was a place for selling animals, and the smell was a bit unpleasant.

Guo Hao frowned and turned around and planned to walk back, but at this moment, a horse suddenly lost control and rushed towards Guo Hao.

"Oh, my horse!"

The owner of the horse was shocked and hurriedly pulled the reins, but he was too weak to pull the leash. He saw that the horse was about to hit Guo Hao.

Seeing this, Guo Hao walked to the side calmly. With his skills, how could he be hit by a horse?

However, behind him was the market, and if the horses were allowed to rush in, it would cause great chaos.

"Han Yu, go and control the horse."

"yes."

Han Yu quickly stepped forward when he heard this. At this time, the horse just ran past the three of them. Han Yu grabbed the reins and flew onto the horse.

In this case, there are two ways to do it. One is to use brute force to block the Na, but this can easily hurt the horse.

The second is to ride him to comfort him and control him. This is very difficult and requires high horse training skills.

Han Yuyi was brave and rode directly onto the horse. However, at this moment, Guo Hao suddenly heard a sound behind him, followed by a sound of deception.

Guo Hao's eyes were on Han Yu, but Ziyun was always alert behind him.

Guo Hao looked back and saw Ziyun pulling out his sword and fighting with the horse's owner. At this time, several more people pulled out hatchets from the haystack and chopped at Guo Hao.

Seeing this, Guo Hao's face changed and he retreated repeatedly.

This time he came out, he only brought Han Yu and Ziyun, and felt that no one in this Bianliang city would be detrimental to him. After all, the public security in Bianliang has always been very good.

However, a wise person will make a mistake in his every thought, and the other party hides too deeply.

Guo Hao was not prepared at all and had no weapons in his hand. The originally honest farmer suddenly turned into a bloodthirsty killer. Looking at the other party's eyes, Guo Hao ran away without hesitation.

Guo Hao didn't even think about it. The TV series are all lying. Facing a few big men holding machetes, they are dead without weapons.

At this time, Ziyun was no longer ruthless. She took the man with one sword and turned around to chase Guo Hao, but was stopped by another assassin.

Han Yu finally controlled the horse, but had already run far away. When he looked back, he was shocked, and jumped up from the horse and ran towards Guo Hao.

As Guo Hao ran, he suddenly felt a pain in his back, his body staggered, and he heard a crisp sound, and a flying knife fell to the ground.

The other party had hidden weapons, so Guo Hao hurriedly hid behind a pillar. At this time, a figure flashed in front of him, and Han Yu had already rushed over.

Han Yu and Ziyun stopped each other, and in a blink of an eye, there were a few corpses on the ground. Guo Hao walked out to see this scene, his eyes were so cold that it was scary.

Killing people in the street hasn't happened in Bianliang City for many years.

The people were scared to avoid it from afar. Seeing Han Yu and his two men besieged by more than a dozen assassins, the other party was fighting with their lives, and the two were also a little overwhelmed for a moment.

At this moment, Guo Hao suddenly discovered that there was a person standing on the second floor of the restaurant in front of him, staring at Guo Hao. Guo Hao quickly avoided it.

Hao Guo was immediately a little alert, thinking that the person looked familiar and seemed to have seen him somewhere.

At this time, a voice came from behind. It was the yamen runner who was patrolling the city and he looked up again and the man was gone.

Guo Hao suddenly felt in his heart that he was the person he was looking for. This assassination was planned for a long time, and the person behind the scenes was by his side.
