Chapter 211: Thirty-Three Continents
The sound of camel bells came from the scorching yellow sand. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Welcome guests from afar!"
The city gate had already been opened for customs clearance, and a team of men in white robes and white cloth had waited in front of the door for a long time, and finally saw the team approaching and saluted.
Shanxiao sat on the camel and hugged his chest and saluted, with a lot of satisfaction in his voice, "Thank you for sending someone to pick us up!" ”
The faces of the men who were thanked were full of shame and joy, and their tanned skin showed two rows of white teeth, and they all stepped forward to lead the camels towards the city.
Along the way, all the men, women and children of the oasis respectfully saluted the high car, giving them the highest respect.
The matter of the selection of good talents in the thirty-three continents of Rongxiu City seems to have blown all over the desert in this autumn wind, which has aroused a warm reaction from the people of Loulan. From the beginning of their journey, their team had to go to the gate of the city to explain the reasons in every possible way before they could enter the city, and now there is a team ready to eat and drink and wait for them hundreds of miles away, and welcome them in, the world is different!
In the city lord's mansion, they were arranged into the best courtyard.
After washing up, the city lord set up a banquet invitation, and Shanxiao and Tamu came to Huatang dressed up.
"The City Lord!"
In the main hall sat a tall and thin gray-eyed old man, wearing a tall and erected hat, but he still had a goatee on his chin, which made his thin face look even longer, which looked ridiculous.
As one of the three border cities of Loulan, Tongguan City has a very important geographical location, because after that, it is the boundary of the Moon Dynasty and Tianliu, which is near the Tianliu Mountain that Xue An guarded before.
Except for that time when he was attacked by the north and lost the city once, the one who cleared the customs was a member of Loulan. The Yan clan is known for being warlike, and there are many men in their clan, and they are characterized by their gray eyes, long faces, and high hats, like a goat! It's just that because of their aggressiveness, the people who laugh at them are buried in the yellow sand, and everyone in Loulan knows about it!
Moreover, the city lord is equal to the existence of the minister, so Shanxiao did not dare to be presumptuous to this person, and as soon as he came in, he hugged his chest and saluted.
The old man's gaze swept over the tall man, and his gray eyes fell on following behind Shanxiao, and a woman nodded slightly with herself without saying a word, and her eyebrows moved.
This is the legendary master of velvet embroidery, Tam?
What a big shelf!
Seiko in the world, Loulan high car is famous all over the world, people in the desert are proud of it, and the master craftsman of velvet embroidery is their proud capital, that is the existence of the prince who can not kneel!
Yan Yan has always been a little contemptuous of women, but he has to tolerate the master craftsmen, because their equipment and weapons are still provided by the Velvet Embroidery City! He politely raised his hand and gestured to his seat, "The two envoys have worked hard all the way, sit down and drink a glass of wine to relieve fatigue!" "It's just that the ass hasn't moved over, and you can see that this guy is dissatisfied with Tam's lack of salute.
After clearing this kind of border area, it is almost common to fight and make trouble, and the caravans of the two places began to communicate with each other again after the withdrawal of the Yue Dynasty, so it can be regarded as much richer in materials than in the depths of the desert, and even the dishes on the table are a lot more green.
"I heard that the two envoys are here to select suitable children to go to the Velvet Embroidery City to learn skills?"
Yan Yan took a sip of wine, his eyes kept looking at the chopsticks of the two, such a rich meal is hard to find in the desert, these two people don't seem to have a special love, simply picked a few things and ate two bites and then stopped moving the chopsticks, doesn't it mean that other oases are already short of food?
Shanxiao nodded, "That's true, but it also has to be a qualified youth, regardless of men and women!" ”
"Boys can, girls want to stay and have children!" Yan Yan's eyes narrowed, and his face was disdainful, "What do you want young people to do?" The man was taken away by you, who will defend this side of the fortress? ”
Unwillingly?
Along the way, other oases are eager to send children to learn velvet embroidery, to know that to become a disciple of velvet embroidery, but what a glorious thing! But why is this old man still opposed? If they are against it, why do they send people to prepare drinks to meet them from a hundred miles away?
Shanxiao's face was a little unsightly, and he couldn't understand what this old man meant.
After taking a sip of the fine wine here, Tamu liked it very much, nodded and praised, "This wine is so good, it is thick and powerful!" ”
An unexpected sentence relieved the originally tense atmosphere, and Yan Yan raised his glass a little proudly, "The girl has a little vision, my Yan clan is the best at two things, fighting and brewing!" ”
Tamu shook his glass and said as if unintentionally, "It's just that I don't know how many people will be able to make wine in the future, but it's a pity that such a good skill will be lost!" ”
The atmosphere that had just relaxed, because this sentence suddenly froze again. These words are clearly threatening the Yan family, if you don't agree at this moment, the Yan family will not exist in the future!
In fact, this time Tamu came out to choose people, there is another meaning, she represents Xiao Cane, on behalf of the Shanshan royal family to travel all over the thirty-three continents, hand over the children and youth, offer your loyalty, do not hand over......
Yan Yan's face darkened for a moment, he was at the border, if the Yue Dynasty came to attack, and the rear reinforcements did not arrive for a long time, the Yan clan would die!
The gray eyes were a little fierce, and he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, "If I give people to you, can I guarantee that my clan will last for a thousand years?" ”
Tamu smiled, and there was a bit of blue in his moving eyes, "I can't live for a thousand years!" How can the city lord be given such assurance? After the sunny laughter, his face was refreshed, and he raised his glass and said, "But I can guarantee that I will live for one day, and the Yan clan will not die!" ”
Yan Yan swept away the contempt just now, and his gray eyes were calculated, "How to guarantee it?" ”
"What do you want?"
"I want you to teach my Yan disciples personally, and I want them to become your personal disciples!" Yan Yan said defiantly.
"It's a deal!"
Tamu drank the elixir in one gulp and made a promise.
"So, I'll give you a great gift too!" Yan Yan smiled with satisfaction, and did not say in detail what the gift was, but the gray eyes and long face were even more gloomy, which made people's hearts hairy.
The atmosphere of the dinner was not harmonious, but it was finally over without danger, looking at the backs of Shanxiao and Tamu, several pairs of gray eyes standing behind Yan Yan came over, "Apa, we are at the border, why do you want to promise them?" ”
"Yes, Apa, they don't dare to do anything to us!"
"Grandpa, I don't want to go to the velvet embroidery!" A teenager even directly expressed his dissatisfaction.
Yan Yan patted the kid on the head, "Let Eminem bring you more food, you still need to eat more meat when you are still growing up!" He got up and ignored the other sons and went straight to the study.
"How's it being considered?"
As soon as I entered the door, a deep voice rang out.
The long-faced old man's eyes flashed, "If I send people in, do you really give me a year's worth of food?" ”
The Shanshan clan has long been ignorant of the situation outside in the depths of the desert, and now not only is there a shortage of food in the Loulan Desert, but even the Yue Dynasty, which experienced a great drought last year, has just survived a summer of flooding this year, and they have no food!
Otherwise, why would the Yue Dynasty suddenly resolutely dispatch Tianliu troops and generals to go down to southern Xinjiang?
In the whole world, except for southern Xinjiang, a place where the wind and rain are smooth all year round, there is no food everywhere!
Even if the Shanshan clan found the legendary treasure, so what? A bucket of gems for a bucket of grain, and soon Shanshan will know the price of grain on Tianliu's side, and when the time comes, ......
"Cash in now!"
That voice must be resolute, and people have to believe it!
"Good!"
The brown eyes of the person who came out of the shadows burned, making Yan Yan feel a little oppressed, and he couldn't help but blurt out the questions since they met, "You...... If you were alive in the first place, why didn't you come back? ”
"What are you going to do when you come back? How many years did the Shanshan clan plan to kill me on the battlefield in the north and support Hulan Jue's ascension! When I come back, will they give me back the throne? ”
Sitting leisurely behind the bookcase, as if the master's house, "And the Moon Dynasty has been eyeing the east, and the people who came in person are all purposeful, I haven't even been able to keep my wife and children," he continued after a moment of silence, "When you come back, will you still follow me?" ”
Naturally not!
The incompetent king must not bend his knees!
If Hulansi escaped from the battlefield that day, he would only be spurned by their thirty-three continent city lords!
Yan Yan was silent and lowered his eyes, and hugged his chest for a long time, "If I receive food tomorrow, I will definitely be driven by my king!" ”
It's useless for the Shanshan clan to say anything, in such a year of catastrophe, those who can feed his fellow clan can drive them to run for it! (To be continued.) )
