Chapter 123: The Game Behind (Part 2)

I have to say that Li Muyun did underestimate the minimum limit of the Tang Dynasty's nobles this time. In the previous life, those with status would rarely carry out such assassination if they didn't want to break the verge of death, because every circle has its own rules. Now you can kill others for money, then others will kill you for money.

What's more, everyone is a person on the scene. Because of a little money, it is easy to be rejected by people in the circle and become an alien. Not to mention doing business, I am afraid that no one will even listen to the words.

Li Muyun guessed that the situation was wrong and thought that the great men of the Tang Dynasty would be like people from the era they were familiar with, so he was neglected to be on guard and was seriously injured.

Fortunately, he was lucky, and Su Wanqing came in time, so he did not give his life to the hands of the generals who could only chop him up with a broken knife.

Sitting in the carriage to Chang'an, Li Muyun recalled his experiences over the past few days and planned his future behavior standards and ways of doing things.

"Mu Yun, what are you going to Chang'an this time?" The three fat men sat opposite Li Muyun and broke the silence.

"What else can I do? I will pay my life if I kill someone and pay my debts! Han Qiang committed a case in our county, so he naturally had to take him back to ask about the case." Li Muyun, who was dazed and dazed, came back to his senses and said in an indifferent tone.

"You, a small county magistrate, ran to the Minister of Justice's Mansion to arrest his son. How likely do you think is the success?" The three fat men looked at Li Muyun with a very strange look.

This is not the first time he has asked this question, but as he gets closer and closer to Chang'an, he still wants to make sure.

"I told you that we can definitely take people back. Even if the old ghost has any revengeful actions, we can only wait until we go back. You don't have to worry about this at all." Li Muyun looked at the fat man helplessly and sighed.

If it weren't for the injury on his body that hadn't he healed yet, Li Muyun would rather climb to Chang'an by himself than take this nagging guy with him.

Sure enough, the three fat guys did not stop and continued to ask Li Muyun: "How do you guarantee that the old lamp will not attack Chang'an City? He dares to attack you in Shanyin County, let alone Chang'an."

"I don't know, life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in heaven!" Li Muyun really didn't want to explain all this to the fat man anymore. After saying perfunctory words, he simply closed his eyes and started to sleep, allowing the fat man to ignore him.

...

Shuozhou is more than 1,700 miles away from Chang'an, and the speed of the carriage is about 200 miles a day. So it took Li Muyun and his party a full twelve days to come out of Shanyin County to Chang'an.

When they arrived in Chang'an, it was already after the Shangyuan Festival, and they missed the famous Shangyuan Lantern Festival. Not only that, they happened to be in the evening when they arrived in Chang'an.

Looking at the closed city gate, Li Muyun looked embarrassed.

Whether in the past or the future, the restriction of traffic seems to have always existed, but it has changed from a restriction of numbers during the day to a prohibited entry into the city at night. Although this is done for safety, it is undeniable that the result is the same. Their business is locked outside and cannot enter.

Fortunately, the weather in Chang'an had already begun to warm at this time, and the temperature at night was similar to that in Shuozhou, so Li Muyun and the others squatted at the city gate for half a night.

...

As the red sun rose, more and more people were waiting to enter the city at the gate.

With a harsh sound of door shaft friction, the closed city gate slowly opened.

Then, Li Muyun saw two rows of armored soldiers strode out of the city, just like the guard of honor in later generations. After being arranged on both sides of the city gate, under the greeting of his commander, the people on both sides of the city gate began to move.

Under such circumstances, Li Muyun and his party entered this city that he had imagined countless times with the abortion.

...

Later, someone asked Li Muyun what it felt like to enter Chang'an for the first time.

Li Muyun didn't comment on this, but just shook his head lightly.

For a person who has countless memories of metropolis in later generations, Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty was actually not big. All Li Muyun could see was a kind of sentiment, and this sentiment gradually faded with the passage of time.

And most importantly, I really don’t know that I am a little kid even if I don’t know that I am not as good as my official position.

Li Muyun in Shanyin County is completely like a local emperor, but when he arrived in Chang'an, there were seventh-rank guards. The director of the Market Management Office (the orders of the east and west cities) was actually a sixth-rank official, and the county magistrate was actually a fifth-rank official.

Of course, this still refers to the actual position, if calculated as a separate official...

Well, in fact, no matter how you calculate it, Li Muyun found that he could not even be on the table in Chang'an.

"Ha, stop!"

Just as Li Muyun was feeling the official Mao in Chang'an City, a rough voice interrupted his thoughts. When he listened carefully, he found that the sound was a little familiar.

Before Li Muyun could figure out who the owner of the voice was, he heard the man say again: "Where did you come from? Don't you know if you took the wrong path?"

"Sir, we are from Shuozhou, no, I don't know the rules here..." The minion who was rushing to the car only reacted and explained repeatedly.

"The middle is the imperial road. For the sake of being a foreigner, I will not hold you accountable and leave immediately." Although the bold voice was not good, the human being was not bad. When the minion was speaking, he did not go into it in depth. He waved his hand and drove the carriage away from the middle of the road.

Of course, the carriage mentioned here is just a wheel of the carriage that is crushed to a section of the road in the middle of the road, and it is not really running on it. If that were the case, it would probably be that those who called Li Muyun and his party would not let them go so easily.

However, just as the carriage was just deviating from the main road, the three fat men who lifted the curtains suddenly shouted in surprise: "Cheng Chumo..."

Unexpectedly, the guy who blocked the road slapped in the face and actually heard the fat man's voice. He immediately looked at the carriage: "Who is it? Who is the one who calls me?"

Seeing this situation, Li Muyun naturally couldn't pretend to be stupid anymore. He lifted the curtain of the carriage and leaned out from it, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Cheng!"

Cheng Chumo was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes, and then shouted excitedly: "Oh, I'm here, brother-in-law!?"

It is not easy for a person to learn hard, but it only takes a short time to learn bad things.
