"Heh! Did you know? Those merchants' ships have all been stranded. Now, everyone outside Chang 'an City is crazily scrambling for goods. Those fur products worth dozens of taels of silver have all been taken away! "
"What?"
"Where?"
"Ten miles away from the city. I heard that many merchants can't take it anymore and hung themselves!"
"Hiss! It's over, it's over. I heard that the emperor offended the Guanlong Group. Looks like … the emperor is in danger this time! "
"Isn't that so!"
"Sigh!"
Such rumors were spreading everywhere in Chang 'an City. Some people were even driving ox carts, donkey carts, and even mules out of the city.
At this moment, at the city gate, groups of people could be seen returning to the city with piles of wet goods in their arms. …
Everyone was bragging about the prosperous scene outside the city.
It was as if something had fallen from the sky. The greedy crowd rushed out of the city even more desperately.
Right at this moment, from within the Imperial City, the sound of drums that would only be heard when there was an emergency were fiercely beaten by someone.
"Dong —! Dong! Dong!
As the sound of the ancient drum beat slowly spread out from the depths of the Imperial City, everyone was terrified.
Even the commoners who were holding the goods were stunned on the spot.
"What's going on?"
"This drum … is the horn used to gather the Chang 'an garrison in case of an emergency battle! Is the Turks attacking? "
"F * ck! Run! "
In the Chamberlain of Dependencies, the Young Khagan of the Western Turks frowned as he stared out of the city. "What's going on? What's going on outside? Could it be that our people are here? "
Hearing this, the purple-robed Khagan's follower hurried out. A moment later, he returned like a ghost.
"Reporting to the Khagan, there are rumors outside the city that the ships of the merchants who stayed in Chang 'an have been sunk. All their goods are piled up in the forest ten miles away from the city! Someone is deliberately spreading rumors to rob the goods! "
"Oh?"
The purple-robed Khagan's lips curled up slightly. It would be fine if it was not their men.
"Pass down my order. Tell all the spies to stay put! Without my orders, no one is allowed to leave the city! "
"This … Little Khan, this is …"
"Hmm?"
Little Khan tilted his head slightly, his bewitching narrow eyes glancing at the man.
"This must be Li Shimin's scheme. Otherwise, why would there be rumors in the city that the Turks have come? And he even mobilized the Chang 'an garrison? Do you think Li Shimin is an idiot? "
"I wouldn't dare!"
The people behind him hurriedly dispersed.
On the other hand, the burly Tuyuhun youth who was guarding beside the Little Khan frowned slightly but did not move. As for the Tubo man who had ridiculously long arms, he made a rare gesture towards a stall outside the Chamberlain of Dependencies and did not make any more movements.
This made Little Khan's smile grow even wider.
"Looks like you guys didn't do it either! Could it be that Li Shimin wants to take this opportunity to clean up all the Guanlong Group in Chang 'an City? "
"No way!"
"Based on our understanding of Li Shimin, he will not start a war with the Guanlong Group. It would be great if he did!"
The burly Tuyuhun man clenched his fists and turned to leave, leaving only the Little Khan and the long-armed Tubo youth.
"Do you think that Li Shimin wants to lure us out?"
"Not interested!"
This was the reply of the long-armed youth.
Little Khan's gaze became more and more playful.
She fiddled with a wolf fang on her ear, thinking about something.
At that moment, the galloping sounds of the cavalry made the smile on Little Khan's face widen.
"Ta ta ta!"
Following the sound of hooves.
Little Khan also left the window. At this moment, there was nothing to see.
"Fight. If there is a need to fight, this Khan can do it for you and provoke a war!"
"…"
At the city gate.
A group of Imperial Guards hurriedly held up a small yellow flag and dashed through the crowd.
As they ran, the group of Imperial Guards shouted, "Close the city gate! No one is allowed to enter or leave the city without orders! Those who disobey will be beheaded! "
"What?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard that. …
When the general of the city gate heard that, he trembled and screamed, "Close the city gate!"
"Smash, smash, smash!"
Following a series of muffled noises, the huge Anhua Gate, Illustrious Virtue Gate, Qixia Gate, and all the other city gates of Chang 'an lit up with fire beacons that had been prepared long ago!
At this moment, the entire Chang 'an City was shocked.
Everyone looked at the billowing smoke with fear.
Just as everyone was terrified.
Squads of Imperial Guards shuttled through every market square.
"Everyone, go back home. You can only go out tomorrow. Those who disobey orders and go out without permission will be killed by fate!"
"Everyone, get the hell back to your homes. Before sunrise tomorrow, kill anyone you meet in Chang 'an without mercy!"
This time, everyone was really scared.
A sense of danger rushed to their brains between their mouths and nostrils!
The world was going to change!
