"Old thing, did I pick up your house, or did I steal your granddaughter, and you cheated me like this?!" Seeing that Yang Qi in the old waiter put on a picture of eating himself, Zhang Qian really wanted to smash it with a punch and smash this old man all over his face.

However, think about the other party's great age and physical state at the moment, and then think about the punishment that killing a deputy state-level cadre will face in Datang. He could only pretend to be calm, and added with a smile: "Please be aware of the waiter, the lower official was not alarmist just now." You always look at this strange beast, the fur on its skin is so short, it is not cold at all. And its neck is so long, it can't be lowered easily. Therefore, Xia Guan thought that it must have eaten leaves or fruits in high places. Chang'an is rich, but in winter, the snow is falling, and even the grass can't be found, how can there be fruits growing on the trees? Therefore, this beast must have been born in an extremely warm place, and it could not adapt to the climate of the Central Plains at all. ”

"Well, I see!" Yang Qi pretended to be attentive and nodded again and again, "No wonder a good pair of strange beasts, before they arrived in Chang'an, one died on the road, and it turned out to be frozen to death." Pity the official who was responsible for transporting the strange beast, he couldn't explain the reason at all, not only was he beaten for it, but he was also ordered by his boss to directly deprive him of his official position and rushed back to his hometown! ”

As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Qian with a smile, as if he was silently threatening.

"The official in charge of transporting the alien beast has really been wronged!" Zhang Qian was furious by him, so he had to respond stiffly, "This beast is barely kept near the hot spring, and diseases will follow." If you want to spare its life, I'm afraid it's best to send it to the south. Fortunately, it was warmer over there, and there was no shortage of leaves and fruit for it to eat in winter. ”

After that, under the pretext of feeding the strange beasts, he deliberately stopped looking at the sinister smiling face of Yang Qi in the old waiter. lest you accidentally not hold back and give the old thing a set of swing punches.

Zhang's statement is very reasonable, I have heard for a long time that the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion is like spring all year round, and it is prolific with strange flowers and fruits. Putting this beast over there should be the best choice. Li Fengyu finally realized that Yang Qi's words just now, as if every sentence were hidden in a mystery, and hurriedly smiled and helped Zhang Qian next to him.

"The last general also heard that it was very hot in the south. It must be just right for this strange beast to be happy! "Zhou Jianliang is a martial artist, he doesn't observe so carefully, he just tells the truth according to his own ideas.

When Yang Qi heard this, he was neither angry nor refuted. Just brushed his white beard with his hands, and continued to smile and nodded: "Well, that's a good idea." Let it go where it should go, so as not to accidentally raise it to death and bring bad luck to Datang. ”

"Huh?" Li Fengyu and Zhou Jianliang were both taken aback by Yang Qi's words, and they didn't dare to give the other party a chance to distort their words indiscriminately, so they both shut up decisively.

That Yang Qi made the two of them mute with a casual move, and their faces were so proud. Turning his gaze to Zhang Qian, who was concentrating on feeding the alien beasts, he continued to bite with a smile, "Speaking of the south, the old man has something to understand. Gusu, Yuhang and other places are already like spring all year round. And the Lingnan prefectures are even hotter. Why have you never seen this beast appear in those places? Master Zhang's erudition, can you solve the old man's doubts? ”

After that, despite the fact that he was already seventy-five years old, he solemnly bowed down and asked Zhang Qianchang for advice.

"Don't, don't, don't be like this, don't be like this!" No matter how vigilant Zhang Qian was, he didn't dare to let a seventy or eighty-year-old deputy national level make such a solemn gift to himself. Hurriedly threw the feeding tray to Li Fengyu's subordinates, turned around and bowed back, "You are serious, this matter can actually be explained in one sentence." Although Lingnan is hot, there are hotter places in the world than Lingnan. ”

"It's hotter than Lingnan, that's the south of the sea! It turns out that this is what Yong Zhao said when he said it was thousands of miles away. Yang Qi immediately put away the long coat, pulled Zhang Qian's sleeve with his hand, and got to the bottom of it. Where is his hometown? I also hope to use Zhao Mo to dismiss the old man for being stupid and solve this doubt for the old man! ”

"Does Yo Zhao really know the origin of this beast?" That Li Fengyu finally understood why Yang Qi, who was in the middle of the service, was biting Zhang Qian so hard. His eyes widened, and he was skeptical.

He is in his early twenties, and he is already one of the most knowledgeable among his peers. And Zhang Qian's appearance, he is about the same age as him, how can he know everything about the property thousands of miles away?

Unless, unless the legendary "children of the Mo family enter the WTO", it is really not a story specially made up in order to take the "shortcut to the south". Or, perhaps the knowledge of the master book in front of you does have another brilliant inheritance.

"No wonder Yong Zhao knew to use fruit to attract the attention of this strange beast and appease its anger from the beginning!" Zhou Jianliang's reaction was half a beat slower, but through the words of Yang Qi and Li Fengyu, he also vaguely guessed the truth, and he was also surprised that he couldn't close his mouth.

It's not that he and Li Qi are rare and strange, you know, in these years, even Hangzhou has not been developed on a large scale, and Lingnan is a place of miasma. And many people go and never return to their hometowns alive.

Therefore, even the scholars and the rangers who walk around with swords have a very limited understanding of Lingnan. What's more, a place that is further south than Lingnan, or even thousands of miles away from Chang'an?

"The waiter said seriously, in fact, the waiter only needs to send someone to ask where the strange beast first appeared. And see if it is near the sea and there are foreign traders who come by boat to trade, and it will be clear! Being forced to retreat by the old fox and a pair of "pig teammates", Zhang Qian had no choice but to tell the truth, "Zhang heard someone mention Kunlun Nu before, if Zhang's expectation is correct, then Kunlun Nu must be dark-skinned and can't understand a few words of Tang Yan, but he is honest and abnormal." He and this beast should come from the same place. His hometown, far from Chang'an, I'm afraid it's more than 10,000 miles! Alas—"

Thinking of that Kunlun slave, he was kicked to death by a giraffe. And the giraffe in front of him, even if he is sent to Guangzhou, I am afraid that he will soon die because of the unsuitability of the water and soil, Zhang Qian couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.

Yang Qi listened to this, but suddenly laughed happier than the fox who stole the chicken. He gently tugged at the corners of his clothes again, and continued to chase after him, "Since Yong Zhao knows where this beast's hometown is, is this beast auspicious, can Yong Zhao tell me directly?" ”

"Old thing, you just caught me alone, did I steal your wallet, or did I kidnap your granddaughter?" Knowing that he would definitely not be able to escape today, Zhang Qian secretly cursed in his stomach and shook his head resignedly, "Look what you say." This beast, you say that he is auspicious, he is auspicious. To say it's not, it's not. All of them! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Seeing that Zhang Qian was forced into a corner by himself, he was still trying to find a way to protect himself. Yang Qi found it interesting, and gently tugged at his sleeve again, and continued to get to the bottom of it.

"This beast is more than rabbits in its homeland, of course it is not a rui beast!" Quietly breaking free from the old guy's fingers with his sleeves, Zhang Qian took half a step back and distanced himself from this person, and then gave an answer helplessly, "However, being able to be transported to Datang from thousands of miles away and dedicated to the saint shows that my Datang is prosperous and mighty, unparalleled in the world." Therefore, Zhang should congratulate the saint today and congratulate the people of the Tang Dynasty! ”

After that, he didn't look at the dumbfounded appearance of Yang Qi, Li Fengyu, and Zhou Beijiang in the waiter, just stood up straight and arched his hand in the direction of Zichen Palace. "May my Tang Dynasty be prosperous forever, and the country's fortune will be forever!"

"May my Tang Dynasty be prosperous forever, and the country's fortune will be forever!" Feng Yu Li Qi is the youngest and has the fastest reaction. The first one recovered from the shock, decisively learned Zhang Qian's appearance, and bowed his hand in the direction of Zichen Palace.

"Wish, may my Tang Dynasty be prosperous forever, and the country's fortune will be forever!" Zhou Jianliang and Li Qi's subordinates also quickly came back to their senses, and rushed to the direction of Zichen Palace, as if the Tang Emperor Li Xian was watching everyone not far away, how serious and serious they were.

"May my Tang Dynasty be prosperous forever, and the country's fortune will be forever!" Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Zhang Qian jumped out of the language trap he had carefully set. The old fox Yang was stunned for a while before finally accepting the reality. also followed with a smile on his face, and gently waved in the direction of Zichen Palace.

"Old fox, this time you are satisfied! Whether it is auspicious or not, you decide for yourself! "Finally let the old guy eat himself too, Zhang Qian was so proud in his heart." It's a big deal, Lao Tzu will go to be the deputy supervisor of the pastoral superintendent. What's wrong with the stables, the stables are also national cadres! I think back then, Sun Wukong was also Bi Ma Wen......"

He was ready to take revenge after Yang Qi was annoyed and embarrassed, however, after the other party arched his hand at Zichen Palace, he grabbed his sleeve again, "Yong Zhao really has a wide range of knowledge, far better than the old man back then. It's a pity that the old man's little granddaughter was promoted by the saint in the summer, and as the concubine of Princess Jincheng, she was promised to Tubo Zampu together. Alas, otherwise, the old man really wants to ask if he wants to be the old man's junior, alas-"

Although the sigh was not high, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, smashing the Venus in front of Zhang Qian's eyes, all because of his strong body, he did not lose his temper on the spot, and was seen by the people around him.
