Chapter 317: The Lord of Zhongshan
The short man snorted and said, "Forgive me, by the way, this knife on your waist looks good, do you want to fight with my treasure knife?" ”
"Sparring?" Lu Yuan was a little puzzled.
"That's right." The short man said as he took a knife from his subordinates behind him, and the scabbard was inlaid with gold and jade, and it looked like a treasure knife.
"We're sharper than anyone's knife."
"Right cut it?" Lu Yuan asked.
"No, I'll just hold the knife up, and you can just cut it." The short man had a sly smile on his face: "But don't blame me if your knife breaks." ”
Seeing that he looked very confident in his treasure knife, Lu Yuan was also a little more interested: "It's okay, then what if I cut off your knife?" ”
"If you can do it, I won't blame you." The short man waved his hand and said.
"Then try." Lu Yuan pulled out the Heavenly Return Knife.
The short man hurriedly handed the knife back to his men and asked them to hold it.
He himself took a few steps back, after all, the sword has no eyes, and if he stands too close, the other party's broken knife will hurt him.
The subordinate pulled out the short knife, and Lu Yuan looked at the treasure knife, only to see that the blade had a pattern like flowing water, which looked extremely exquisite.
Although Lu Yuan's Tiangui Knife also has lines, it is neat and neat, with clear lines, which is different from the natural curve of the other party.
After the other party raised it, Lu Yuan's short knife slashed down hard, and with a "click", the short man's sword broke in response.
“…… You...... You! The short man looked incredulous, pointed at Lu Yuan and said, "Don't go, I'll go to my friend to compete with you." ”
As he spoke, he hurried into the distance, and his men hurried after him.
Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled, and withdrew the Heavenly Return Knife.
He was about to continue walking, when a man in blue who had been paying attention to this side came over and said, "Brother, your knife is really good, and it has finally saved face for us Wu Yueren." ”
I'm not from Wu Yue, Lu Yuan said secretly.
"I don't know what Brother Tai means by saving face?"
"Brother, isn't it the first time you've come to Puningfang?" The man in blue wondered.
"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded.
"Then it's no wonder that I don't know the Broken Knife Barbarian." The man in blue nodded.
"Broken Knife?"
"Yes, it's the little man just now, he is the lord of Zhongshan Country, but we all like to call him 'Broken Knife Barbarian' behind our backs." The man in blue had a mocking tone in his tone.
"He is the lord of Zhongshan Country? Why did you come to Wu Yueguo? Lu Yuan was surprised and surprised.
"What's the big deal, the living conditions of their small countries on the sea are extremely poor, and many lords will live in our Wuyue country for most of the year." The man in blue said disapprovingly.
Lu Yuan suddenly realized that during this period, the productive forces of the coastal countries were still very backward, and even Japan was very poor during this period, eating only two meals a day, and only the upper nobles could eat white rice.
There is no way around it, the country has too few resources, so it can only advocate conservation.
In addition, at this time, Japan respected Buddhism and did not advocate eating meat, which was also the main reason why they were not tall.
This is not the case in Japan, not to mention the smaller island nations, where life is not much better than that of savages, there are no luxuries such as silk, porcelain, tea, etc., and food is scarce, and the lord of the country naturally prefers to live in the Central Plains to enjoy happiness.
"What do you mean by broken knife?" Lu Yuan asked, 'barbarian' means contempt, he can understand, what about the broken knife?
The man in blue pouted: "The lord of Zhongshan didn't know where to get a short knife, claiming to be a national treasure of Zhongshan country, and he used this knife to compete with our Wu Yue people all day long, and I don't know how many people's knives were broken." ”
"Why would he do that?" Lu Yuan was puzzled.
The man in blue sneered: "Naturally, for the sake of face, after he wins, he likes to find people to spread the word about it, saying that my Wu Yueguo's smelting technology is not as good as their Zhongshan Kingdom, it's really ridiculous, although I don't know the origin of his knife, but I know that it is definitely not his, they Zhongshan Country has a fart smelting technology!" ”
Lu Yuan nodded secretly, no matter ancient or modern, small countries are like this, hiding their inferiority complex by boasting about themselves.
Later, the man in blue asked about Lu Yuan's calendar, and Lu Yuan only said that he was a businessman, and after exchanging names with the man in blue, he said goodbye and left.
Lu Yuan continued to wander around Puning Fang, walked for a while, and suddenly passed by a rather exotic restaurant, he stopped, looked outside for a while, and stepped in.
The restaurant has only one floor, which seems to be a restaurant in the style of the Western Regions, whether it is the wall or the layout of the restaurant, it can make people feel full of religious sense.
The owner of the restaurant was dressed very similarly to the man in black cloak that Lu Yuan saw on the street, and when asked, he learned that he was a big cannibal, that is, a citizen of the Arab Empire.
At this time, the Arab Empire was in the process of declining, and the religious leader 'caliphate' was reduced to the puppet of his princes, but despite this, the Arab Empire still firmly held the Mediterranean and had the upper hand in the struggle with the Christians.
In another hundred years, Christianity will be engaged in a 'crusade' to compete with the Christians for the Holy Land of Jerusalem.
Lu Yuan casually chatted with the restaurant owner, and the boss knew them very well when he heard Lu Yuan's words, and said in surprise: "Haven't the guests also been to my big food country?" ”
His Chinese is more standard than that of Zhongshan.
"I haven't been there, I've heard about it." Lu Yuan replied casually.
The big food owner made a gesture of praise to Allah and said reverently: "Then the guest should also know that peace can only be obtained by believing in Allah, and you people here are very wise, but you have been stuck in war, and this is because you do not believe in Allah." ”
It's okay to fool others with these words, but Lu Yuan knows the root of the *** teaching, and said with a smile: "But I heard that you are also in constant war there, you are a citizen of the Abbasid Dynasty, I heard that the Buweisi Dynasty has just defeated the Turks and entered Baghdad, and your caliph has become their puppet." ”
The big food boss was stunned and said, "You even know this? ”
Lu Yuan said with a smile: "It can be seen that war has nothing to do with your Allah. ”
The big food boss fell silent, the other party knows the big food country so well, it seems that it is not easy to accept him as a believer, but he did not give up easily, he is different from those big cannibals who come to the east to do business, but came here as a messenger of Allah.
To be able to come all the way here, you naturally have a strong will.
He was thinking about the wording to persuade Lu Yuan, when the black cloth at the door of the restaurant was suddenly lifted, revealing the short figure of the lord of Zhongshan.
"Hey, I said why don't you Middle-earthers be trustworthy, didn't you say that you were waiting for me on the street?" As soon as the lord of Zhongshan came, he asked for guilt.
"You made me wait, but I didn't promise you." Lu Yuan replied casually.
Looking behind him, in addition to a few of his subordinates, there was also a big cannibal in black, who was the big cannibal that Lu Yuan saw on the street.
The cannibal was very tall and stood with them like an adult with a group of children.
The big food shopkeeper obviously knew the lord of Zhongshan and the big cannibal, and frowned, "Yijiang, Apu, do you have anything to do with my guests?" ”
The great cannibal Apu replied, "It was Yijiang who suddenly came to me and said that someone had cut off the Uzi knife I had sold him. ”
"No, that's the national treasure of my Zhongshan Kingdom......" Yi Jiang, the lord of Zhongshan, hurriedly interjected.
But halfway through the words, he suddenly thought that this knife had been broken, and he was no longer worthy of being his own national treasure, so he swallowed the words back.
Lu Yuan, who was on the side, was shocked when he heard the words of the two big cannibals.
Uzi knives? Isn't that a Damascus knife? No wonder the pattern on the knife is like flowing water, wonderful and abnormal, it turned out to be a famous knife in history.
I didn't expect that the Tiangui knife cast by Li Muyi and Qi Guangzi was so sharp that it actually broke the Uzi knife.
However, the joy did not last long, Lu Yuan quickly calmed down, and the Uzi knife was also divided into good and bad, some of good quality and some of poor quality.
If Yi Jiang doesn't do it well, the quality is relatively poor.
The next behavior of the big cannibal Apu confirmed Lu Yuan's conjecture, he took out another Uzi knife from his waist, and said, "Dongfang, would you like to try this knife with me?" ”
Lu Yuan hesitated for a long time and agreed.
Tiangui Knife is naturally the best if it wins, even if it is cut off by the other party, it can only prove that its own knife casting technology is not as good as others, and then let Qi Guangzi and Li Muyi catch up.
Saying that, he pulled out the Tiangui Knife, and the big cannibal on the opposite side also pulled out the Uzi Knife, this time the other party didn't dare to underestimate Lu Yuan's weapon anymore, and put forward a request for chopping.
Lu Yuan put on a good posture, and he was a little more nervous in his heart, this would be the collision of the smelting technology of Hui'an Mansion and the smelting technology of the Arab Empire.
"Let's go." The restaurant owner, Abbe, shouted.
With a "magnetic" sound, the two short knives struck together, one of them broke in response, and the broken knife head rotated several times in the air and fell to the ground.
