Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 523 Confirmed Eyes

Although Liangzhou City is barren, it is not a dead city. Like all cities, there are markets, houses, government offices, and even brothels in the city. Do you believe it?
Of course, the quality of the brothel girl... there is no need to force it. In a brothel in a border town, there is still a hope that there will be a stunning beauty waiting for the patron to come and give him a night of lingering love worth tens of hundreds of pennies. ?

For a person like Li Qinzai who has eaten and met in Chang'an, if he is allowed to go to a brothel in Liangzhou City to find sex, it is not a matter of the girl giving him money, but a strong sense of humiliation, which can be repaid. The official kind.

A barbarian caravan that entered the city yesterday came from Persia. There were several barbarians in the caravan, more than 200 guards and buddies, and a kabuki troupe.

The goods carried by this caravan are also very valuable, mostly gold and silver utensils from Persia, Persian carpets, and expensive gems, etc.

It is not easy to come all the way to Datang, and the goods you bring are all high-value luxury goods. If you can exchange for the exquisite porcelain and silk of Datang, the profit is not small, and it is worth taking some risks.

Strictly speaking, the kabuki in the caravan is also a commodity. Most of the kabuki are Persian and Western Regions. They have high nose bridges and white skin, full of exotic customs. The powerful families of the Tang Dynasty may also be willing to pay a lot of money to buy them.

It's a pity that they didn't expect the sudden war between Tubo and Tuyuhun. The Hu people's caravan was supposed to cross the desert, pass through Tuyuhun, and then enter Datang. Ganzhou, and finally came to Liangzhou.

A detour meant an increase in costs. Before reaching Chang'an City, the caravan was already stretched and had to sell a few goods in Liangzhou to make up enough travel expenses to continue to Chang'an.

Early the next morning, Li Qinzai wandered around the city with several trilogy members behind his back.

He very much hoped to meet some Hu merchants. Apart from inquiring about things other than Datang, the more important thing was to ask if they had brought some new crop seeds.

Unknowingly, I walked to the market in the city, and the deserted streets finally became a little more popular.

The people in the city are constantly coming and going. Teams of businessmen lead camels to shuttle carefully among the crowd. There are many shops and vendors along the road.

Walking in the market, Li Qinzai couldn't help smiling when he saw the people and merchants bargaining and even scolding each other.

The smell of smoke and fire in the world is like this. Only after seeing these various forms of life can I feel that I am living a real life. This is a world of mortals that is more practical than the misty court.

A gong beating caught Li Qinzai's attention.

Not far away, on a temporary high platform, several Hu merchants in brocade robes were beating gongs vigorously, inviting customers in blunt Chinese.

Behind Hu Shang stood a group of beautifully dressed women with white veils covering their faces. Although they couldn't see their appearance clearly, just looking at their slender waists and slender legs was enough to make all men's hearts beat faster. Dry mouth.

Li Qinzai is also a man, a man among men.

As the sound of the gong became more and more urgent, Li Qinzai couldn't help but approached the high platform, stood in the crowd and glanced carefully, just at this moment a woman with a white veil raised her head, and he met her eyes.

It was purple pupil?Li Qinzai's expression changed.

Having seen many foreigners in his previous life, Li Qinzai knew that the pupils of foreign races were very mixed, with blue eyes and green eyes, but purple pupils were really rare.

However, this pair of purple pupils looks very attractive, like two bright purple gemstones, shining brightly in the dark night, as if there is some kind of magical power, Li Qinzai's eyes are involuntarily attracted into them.

The girl with purple pupils didn't seem shy, but boldly looked at Li Qinzai for a long time. After a long time, her eyes slightly bent, as if smiling.

Li Qinzai also smiled, although he couldn't see the appearance under the white gauze, but the pair of purple pupils were like a burst of happiness, revealing all kinds of charm.

This unknown girl with purple pupils must be the maiko in the barbarian caravan that Lao Wei mentioned yesterday?

Charming, coquettish, really exotic, completely different from the reserved Datang women.

The crowd gathered more and more, and Hu merchants stood on the high platform and hawked loudly, and the goods they hawked were the group of Kabuki from the Western Regions behind him.

It wasn't just one girl with purple pupils that was sold, but a row of them, each with their own personalities. By the way, they joined a band from the Western Regions. The band's instruments were quite weird, including Persian tambourines, clarinets, setars, etc. Wait, there are also Tang's pipa and dulcimer.

There are more and more people onlookers, and the Hu merchants are selling more and more vigorously. It probably means that the younger brother came to Guibao for the first time and was short of money. Those who passed by had money to make money, and those who had no money went home and took money to make money. Kabuki from the Western Regions can be wholesale or retail.

They shouted until their throats were full of smoke, but the crowd was still just watching the fun, and no one bid at all.

Hu Shang shouted more and more disappointed, and the kabuki on the high stage still did not sell.

In the crowd of onlookers, Liu Asi quietly tugged on Li Qinzai's sleeve.

"Wu Shaolang, why don't you buy these kabukis? You are in this desolate border town, and there are few serving women around you. Look at the appearance of these Hu merchants. Among the officials and people in the city, except for Wu Shaolang, I am afraid it is Nobody can afford to buy these kabuki anymore."

Li Qinzai shook his head with a smile: "That's not necessary. If I want to have some exotic style, I can just send you to Tuyuhun to grab a few. If there are free ones, why spend money on them?"

Liu Ahsi was stunned, it really made sense, since Wu Shaolang left Chang'an, he became more and more able to live a life.

Glancing again at the purple-eyed woman on the high platform, Li Qinzai turned and left, Liu Asi and the others hurriedly followed.

Seeing Li Qinzai leave, Hu Shang, who was peddling on the high platform, suddenly had a look of disappointment in his eyes, and quickly looked at the purple-eyed woman without any trace.

The girl with purple pupils drooped her eyes and shook her head slightly.

Hu Shangyi understood, immediately sighed in disappointment, and ended the hawking.

Back in the backyard of the posthouse, Hu Shang quietly came to the room of the purple-eyed woman, and saw the purple-eyed woman sitting silently on the futon, wondering what she was thinking.

"Girl, today..." Hu Shang hesitated to speak.

The girl with purple pupils said coldly: "It seems that the envoy of the Tang Dynasty is not a person who is interested in sex. We can't get on the road of selling kabuki."

Hu Shang thought for a while and said: "Perhaps the envoy of the Tang Dynasty doesn't like prostitutes. Anyway, today the girl is covered with a white veil, and he hasn't seen the girl's true face. Why don't you pretend to be a lady from a wealthy family and make a chance meeting with him?" Chance……"

The girl with purple pupils shook her head and pointed to her own eyes.

Hu Shang immediately understood, and then sighed dejectedly.

The woman's pair of purple pupils are so impressive, no man can forget these eyes, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty must have seen these eyes, if she pretends to be another identity, it will be exposed instead.

The purple-eyed woman pondered for a long time, and said: "Since there is no way around it, why not approach him openly, tomorrow you will bring me and all the kabuki to visit this envoy..."
