Volume 3 Spring and Autumn Chapter 376 Cao Yi's doubts

Just said that the country of Later Zhao, the emperor at that time was Shi Le, a member of the Qi nationality, and naturally also known as the Hu people, but the Hu people were also a contemptuous name, so the Later Zhao Emperor Shi Le issued a decree at that time, stipulating that no matter what the conditions, the word 'Hu' could not be spoken, and those who said it would be severely punished, and might even be executed. ”

Tan Yun's little tongue spit out, and he said in horror: "It's so harsh, you may be executed if you say one word!" ”

"Yes, there was a county guard at that time, called Fan Tan, he was wearing a torn dress when he went to meet Shi Le, Shi Le was very unhappy in his heart, and asked him why he came to see the emperor in a tattered dress, Fan Tan was also dizzy at the time, and said that the clothes were robbed by the Hu people on the way, Shi Le was naturally very angry when he heard it, and you said behind your back that I didn't hear it, and now you are still saying in front of me, this is not giving the emperor face at all, Fan Tan, he also realized that he had just committed a taboo, and said this' Hu's word, so he hurriedly knelt down and confessed. ”

"Then, that county guard, he won't be killed because of this, right?" Tan Yun said worriedly.

Cao Yi shook his head and said, "In order to test whether that Fan Tan confessed his guilt, Shi Le pointed to a plate of courgettes on the table and asked Fan Tan, 'What is this?' Fan Tan became smart this time and realized that he couldn't say this nonsense anymore, so he casually said "purple case delicacies, silver cups of green tea, golden bottle nectar, jade plate cucumbers". Shi Le was very happy when he heard this, so the courgettes in the back were renamed cucumbers, which have continued to this day. ”

Tan Yun nodded clearly, it turned out that this cucumber still had this story. After she bit down the last cucumber in her hand, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she said softly: "Childe, in fact, the fruits that came from the Western Regions are quite delicious!" ”

"Yes! Because the planting environment over there is good! Cao Yi didn't think about it, so he answered, but then thought that Tan Yun and Liu Baiqing didn't understand that factors such as the length of sunlight and sunlight would affect the sweetness of fruits, so they had to explain for a long time for fear that they would have to ask questions, so he changed the topic and said: "Actually, there is a fruit in the Western Regions that is also very delicious and delicious, especially in summer, if you use the ice cubes stored in winter to chill it, it is simply delicious in the world!" ”

Tan Yun's eyes lit up when he heard the words "delicious in the world", and he asked with a yearning expression, "Really?" Childe, what kind of fruit is it? ”

"That fruit, it has a green skin, and there are patterns on it like the markings of a tiger, and then the flesh inside is red, very sweet, the key is that there is a lot of juice, and when you bite into it, it overflows instantly, and the whole mouth is that kind of sweet juice...... And it's still so big! Cao Yi said as he gestured with his hands, which was bigger than two sandalwood clouds.

"So big!? What's the name of this fruit? Tan Yun exclaimed.

"Watermelon! Because it was passed down from the western country, it was called watermelon. ”

"Why hasn't this fruit reached us?" Tan Yun said with a little regret.

"Haha, because there was no such fruit when Zhang Qian went to the Western Regions at that time, this watermelon was transmitted to the Western Regions in the Western Regions where the countries of the Western Regions were still west, that is, it was only transmitted there decades ago, and now we naturally don't have it here, but in the future, when Gongzi will drive the Taibai Chamber of Commerce and the Drunken Immortal Building to the Western Regions, I will buy this watermelon for Tanyun every day to eat, how about it?"

Tan Yun's little head instantly clicked like knocking on a wooden fish, and said very happily: "Okay, Childe, then it's decided, when you go to the Western Regions, you must take me with you, and then buy me watermelon to eat!" ”

This part of the way to Daming Temple, just the three of them spent so chatting, and when they ate almost the fruit, Daming Temple had also arrived, under the reminder of the coachman, first Liu Baiqing was the first to go down to observe the surrounding situation, and then Tan Yun and Cao Yi came down one after another.

"Four hundred and eighty temples in the Southern Dynasties, all of them are less buildings in the smoke and rain", as the territory of the Southern Dynasties, Yangzhou City is also a famous temple and many ancient temples, and each Buddhist temple occupies a very good location, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the bustling city, the strange mountains and mountains are all there. Daming Temple belongs to the latter, the surrounding environment is very good, there are also large and small Zhuangzi nearby, it should be the garden of the rich and noble families in Yangzhou City.

When Cao Yi rushed to the gate of Daming Temple with Tan Yun and Liu Baiqing, he found that Fu Wan'er's maid Yue'er was waiting at the door, and after seeing Cao Yi, she quickly shook her arm to greet Cao Yi.

"Childe, you see a young lady waving to us over there, and it's still you!" Cao Yi was looking around, on the one hand, to find Fu Wan'er and Chu Mingxuan, on the other hand, to confirm the location of Steward Xu, and those who were arranged by Chu Mingxuan to be the secret hands behind the scenes, but Steward Xu found them, and none of those secret hands were revealed, even the people on Cao Yi's side who were ambushed in advance in order to prevent the secret hands, Cao Yi did not find out.

Cao Yi couldn't help but admire Brother Yun's disguise and disguise technique in his heart, these guards who had graduated from the Taibai secret camp had definitely only learned a little bit from Brother Yun, but just such a little fur, they had already completely deceived Cao Yi, who was looking for them.

But when she heard what Tan Yun said in her ear, she followed the direction of her finger and found the little girl named Yue'er. Cao Yi also stretched out his arms to echo Yue'er.

"Cao Gongzi!" Yue'er waited until Cao Yi and the others arrived, and hurriedly bowed to Cao Yi.

"What about your young lady and Chu Mingxuan?" Cao Yi opened his mouth and asked,

"Back to Cao Gongzi, my young lady and Chu Gongzi have already entered Daming Temple, they will wait for Cao Gongzi in the abbot's Zen Temple, and ask Cao Gongzi to come with me. Without me leading the way in the temple, ordinary people would not have been able to reach the abbot's monastery. Yue'er hurriedly replied, and then stretched out her hand and made a false gesture.

Cao Yi nodded at her and said, "You lead the way in front, and we will follow you." ”

"Good! Cao Gongzi is here, please. After speaking, Yue'er walked in front and led the way.

Cao Yi approached Liu Baiqing, attached to his ear and whispered: "It stands to reason that you won't do anything in Daming Temple, but Bai Qing, you are also prepared, in case of a situation happens, think about how to escape the most appropriate, so after you enter the Buddhist Temple, you pay attention to the situation along the road, and think of the best evacuation route in your mind." ”

Liu Baiqing nodded and did not speak, and then the three of them followed closely behind Miss Yue'er.

Wait into the Daming Temple, under the guidance of the Yue'er girl, interspersed with various corridors, I don't know how such a girl's family, how to be so familiar with the structure of the Buddhist temple, it stands to reason that even if it is a normal girl, it will definitely not be so familiar with the internal structure of the Buddhist temple, not to mention the Yue'er girl who was born in the Qinglou, although the Qinglou Oiran is a woman worthy of the respect of the world in this era, and even some of the Oiran are more talented than the average talented scholar, but after all, it is from the Fengyue place, for the famous temple and ancient temple, It's not a good fit for them.

"Yue'er girl?" Cao Yi had always had doubts about this, but there were many people before, so he didn't ask too much, and now they should be walking in the living area of the monks of Daming Temple, so neither the pilgrims nor the monks saw it, and while there were no other outsiders, Cao Yi planned to ask.

"Huh?" Yue'er listened, turned around and looked at Cao Yi curiously, "Cao Gongzi, did you tell me something?" ”

"Forehead......" Cao Yi pondered for a moment, still hesitating whether to ask or not, after all, this question, just thinking about it himself, feels a little too strange, there must be an unknown hidden secret in it, but this hidden secret is not suitable to be said, Cao Yi does not know, he is also a little worried that he will ask about the situation that should not be asked, so it seems that he is a little abrupt.

"Miss Yue'er, in fact, I'm a little curious, this Daming Temple is a famous temple after all, it stands to reason that the average female dependents should not be so familiar with the living area of the monks of Shimen, but just girl you are familiar with this area, it seems that you often come here, so I feel surprised, I don't know if Miss Yue'er can tell me, if this matter is inconvenient to tell the outside world, Miss Yue'er does not have to be embarrassed, just continue to lead the way." Cao Yi finally asked Yue'er a question.

"Hehe, there's nothing bad to say about this, Gongzi Cao, let's talk while we walk......" Yue'er smiled and replied softly.
