"This thing is in the ......" At this moment, Zhang Qian's mind was all on the giraffe, and he didn't have time to think about anything else. When I hear someone ask, I instinctively respond.

Halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that the definition of this giraffe may involve a factional struggle in the court, so he quickly turned around and waved his hand vigorously at the old man, "This thing's hometown must not be in the Central Plains, otherwise it will definitely be recorded in the history books." I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, I definitely haven't seen it before, and I don't know where it came from! ”

It's so tiring to change my words temporarily, and I almost can't get the conversation back. Fortunately, Zhang's lung capacity is large and his mind is agile enough, so he avoided the inconsistency of the preamble.

Looking at the old man again, he obviously didn't expect Zhang Qian's words to change so smoothly, and the eyes of the two goldfish were round, and the snow-white beard was shaking up and down on his chest.

"Shang Yuan Bureau serves Li Qi, and I have seen Yang Shizhong!" Without waiting for Zhang Qian to explain more, Li Fengyu had already quickly turned his head and saluted the old man first. As if he was afraid that if he moved slowly, he would be reprimanded by this person in public, or put on small shoes for himself later. "I didn't know that the waiter was coming, and I missed the welcome, so please forgive me."

"The waiter is fine, I'm waiting to see the waiter!" The surrounding guards and horsemen also put down the things at hand, saluted to the visitors, and looked at their attitudes, and they were more respectful than the other.

Zhang Qian was stunned again, and then noticed that the old man in front of him with white hair and kind eyebrows, the color of his clothes turned out to be blue and red with a little yellow, and there were several different patterns painted on it!

'Dizzy, it turned out to be a second grade, deputy national level! Fortunately, Lao Tzu changed his words quickly just now! The spirit trembled in his heart, and he hurriedly clasped his fists with both hands and saluted the other party again: "Zhang Qian, the chief bookkeeper of the Gunpowder Department of the Ordnance Supervision, has seen Shizhong." I didn't know that the waiter was driving before, and the abrupt place, please forgive me! (Note: The official robe of the Tang Dynasty, the second grade is the crown.) There are eight crowns. Tsing Yi silk dress, embroidered with seven chapter patterns, silver sword. It is red and yellow. ）

"The service is safe, the last general Shuo Fangjun Zhou Jianliang, this is polite!" Zhou Jianliang reacted the slowest, but shouted the loudest.

The old man was alone, and in the face of so many greetings at the same time, he was obviously a little overwhelmed. After a little fluting, he smiled and first chose the highest official rank of the five grades to serve Li Qi, glanced at this person a few times meaningfully, turned his body sideways, and returned the salute, "Your name is Li Qi?" The old man has heard of the name for a long time. Bongyu doesn't have to be so polite. The old man saw the appearance of you leading people to demolish the gatehouse before. Yes, the reaction was quite decisive! ”

"In a hurry, please wait for a while and help explain one or two in front of the saint!" is worthy of being the leader's "driver", Li Fengyu is very good at complimenting people, and immediately took over the conversation and bowed to Yang Shizhong again.

Yang Shizhong is also worthy of being a good old man in the legend, even in the face of a small official like Li Qi, who is in charge of carriages and horses, he is very polite, and once again turned his body sideways to avoid it, and then returned the salute with a smile, "That's natural!" The Holy Lord actually saw the situation just now, so you don't need to be so cautious. ”

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Zhang Qian and Zhou Jianliang in turn, and nodded slightly at the two of them at the same time, "And you, a loyal and unparalleled one, sacrificing his life to protect him." A wise and brave man, risking death to lure the alien beast away from the Zichen Hall with fruit. Shengshang, Xiao Pingzhang and the other civil and military forces present all looked at it. After a while, when the Zichen Hall settles down, the Holy Lord will definitely summon the two of them and encourage them in public! ”

He is a servant, and he has served as the prime minister and the secretary of the ministry many times, and the weight of what he says is absolutely extraordinary. When Zhou Jianliang heard this, his heart suddenly burst into joy, and he hurriedly bowed down again, bowing to each other for a long time, "Thank you for your support, I will return to Shuofang in the end, and I will fight to kill the enemy to repay the kindness of the saint and the servant!" ”

"Thank you!" I didn't expect Zhou Jianliang to be five big and three thick, but he knew how to shoot Sima Fart so well. Zhang Qian had no choice but to follow suit and salute Yang Shizhong, who had white hair, and thanked him.

This time, Yang Qi Yang thought again in the waiting, and did not dodge sideways. Instead, he stroked his beard first, accepted the two of them with peace of mind, and then smiled and nodded: "Well, you two don't have to be polite. It is the old man's job to be virtuous for the country. Zhou Beijiang, you ...... Be careful! ”

is ready to say a few words of encouragement to encourage the two to work harder for Datang in the future. Unexpectedly, the giraffe saw that no one paid attention to him for a long time, so he stretched his neck and leaned over and licked Zhang Qian's official hat with his tongue. Frightened, he staggered back, and Jia Mian's words instantly turned into a reminder.

"Don't be afraid! It doesn't bite! "Although I know that giraffes don't go berserk, they are actually very docile. Zhang Qian was still careful at all times, so he quickly jumped a few steps away without waiting for the official hat to be poisoned by the giraffe's infiltration. Immediately, while going to re-raise the plate of fruit to feed the deer, he apologized to Yang Qi with a smile and said, "I'm sorry, Shizhong." Xia Guan didn't mean to be rude, but this beast was too clingy, and Xia Guan was afraid of ignoring it and causing it to go crazy again. ”

"It doesn't matter! Feed it first! Yang Qi was so frightened by the giraffe that he almost made a fool of himself in public, but he was not angry at all. Seeing that Zhang Qian said seriously, he regained his footing and waved his hand with a smile, "Settle it down first, and then I can go to see Your Majesty again." It's a shame that you're here today, otherwise, this thing will go crazy, kicking one by one, and I don't know how many people will have to kick to death. And in front of the saint, the guards don't want it to splash blood on the palace! ”

"It's those eunuchs and Zong Chuke who have always regarded it as a rui beast! It's good not to allow the guards to use bows and arrows, otherwise, no matter how hard the hooves of this thing are, it will be shot into a hedgehog long ago! Zhang Qian secretly complained in his stomach, but he could only be polite and modest, "The waiter has won the prize, and the lower official is just crooked." This beast is not actually fierce, but it will go on a rampage when it was frightened before. ”

"The point is that at that time, only you and Zhou Jianliang dared to step forward, and only you could fight crookedly. Others either shrank back in fear or were helpless! I admired Zhang Qian's appearance of not being greedy for merit, and Yang Qi smiled again and commented in a low voice.

This sentence, the evaluation of Zhou Jianliang and Zhang Qian, I am afraid that it is much higher than the previous "loyalty and righteousness" and "wisdom and bravery". Immediately, Zhou Jianliang was so grateful that he bowed again.

And Zhang Qian, although he also followed a salute, a trace of vigilance suddenly rose in his heart, "His old man praised me to the sky, wouldn't there be something for me to do?" Zhang can be more careful. The old-timers of Datang are all human spirits. Zhang can't be fooled, but he doesn't have a long memory! ”

People eat a trench and rise a wisdom. Previously, in the hands of old-timers such as Ren Qiong, He Zhizhang and Zhang Ruoxu, they suffered losses again and again. Zhang Qian no longer dared to look down on the IQ of the ancients. Therefore, when I heard an old-timer who was much older than Bi Gou boasting about himself, I instinctively thought that this old guy was not well-intentioned.

Sure enough, before he could straighten up again, Yang Qi walked to his side again. While calmly grabbing a fruit and holding it in his hand for the giraffe to eat, he smiled and got to the bottom of it, "Master Zhang, how did you think of using fruit to coax it at that time?" This thing has a giant python with a neck and horns on its head, so it should be a genus of dragons, and it likes to eat meat or fish, right? ”

'He who has horns on his head eats grass!' Whoever doesn't have horns can be a carnivore! Zhang Qianxin immediately gave the correct answer. However, in his mouth, he resolutely refused to show any flaws, smiled, and explained curtly, "Xiaguan, Xiaguan was around at that time, there were fruits and candied fruits at that time, and there was nothing else to eat. If, at that time, there was dried meat, ham, cooking cakes, etc., it would definitely be caught and thrown at it, and whatever it chose, it would have been which! ”

"Oh, yes!" Yang Qi thought about it for a while, and suddenly realized, "It turns out that it is such a crooked fight, Zhang Zhushu is really a lucky general, and he actually has it on hand, which happens to be what this strange beast likes to eat." How can the master book judge that it is actually very docile, at that time it rushed left and right, but it hurt a lot of people! ”

"In the next house, it happened that a horse was frightened a few days ago, and it was also rushing left and right, seeing who kicked whom!" Zhang Qian was already prepared in his heart, and the more he said, the more the lie flowed, "And the situation was critical at that time, even if he had a murderous temperament, what could he do?" You can't watch Zhou Bei being trampled to death by him, let alone watch it threaten the saint! ”

Ask, you keep asking. If you want to drag Lao Tzu into the water, Lao Tzu will not be fooled! You just ask the heavens today, and Lao Tzu will also give you a question that I don't know.

"Well, that's reasonable, reasonable!" Yang Qi nodded again and again when he heard this, and the smile on his face became more and more intense. The old man suddenly had a proposal, since Master Zhang could stand up and subdue this strange beast at a critical moment. And this beast is like this now, and it is quite attached to Master Zhang, so why don't you let the old man come forward and recommend Master Zhang to be the deputy supervisor of the pastoral superintendent, and take care of this strange beast for the saint? It's a strange beast, you're a strange man, and you two are also born......"

"No!" Before he finished speaking, Zhang Qian had already decisively refused, "Zhang has the ability to take care of this beast." Besides, Chang'an is so cold, it is not suitable for it to survive at all. The reason why he was frightened today was because he was hungry on the one hand, and on the other hand, I am afraid it was because it was so cold......"

Halfway through the conversation, I suddenly realized that there might be a trap hidden in the other party's questioning. The old fox in front of him didn't plan to let himself go to the lower pastoral prison at all, and the auspicious beast should not be kept in the lower pastoral prison. Suddenly anxious and angry, his eyes widened and he gasped.

"In the waiter, Master Zhang is good at making gunpowder. In the next Shang Bao Bureau, I have long heard of it. If he becomes the deputy superintendent of the pastoral superintendent, it will be a bit overkill! "That Feng Yu Li Qi is very righteous. Seeing Zhang Qian's reaction so strongly, he thought that he was unwilling to waste his life as a "horse stable", so he decisively interceded with him on the side.

"Yes, the last general in the Shuofang army has long heard of the power and utility of gunpowder! Master Zhang is so talented, going, going to raise strange beasts, it's too aggrieved! Although Zhou Jianliang was confused, he also stepped forward to help.

Yang Qi was in the waiter, but he refused to answer the words of the two. Just take a pair of round eyes and keep diving up and down. The smile on his face grew thicker and thicker.
