222:Voyage to the Western Regions (2)
"Uncle Guo and I had two horses, all the way to Fengxiang Mansion, the horse couldn't run, so I simply stored the big green horse, sold the other three, and changed four healthy horses, ran for three days, and then changed again, and then changed the horse three times in a row, and then arrived in Futu City."
In the warm dining room, a table full of dishes, and a steaming mutton pot in the middle were bubbling and rolling, Qin Yue Jiayin, Guo Mingwu and Manid were sitting together, chatting while eating.
"Futu City? Where is it? "Qin Yue has never heard of this place.
Guo Mingwudai explained: "It is the North Garden, where the Beiting Protectorate of the Tang Dynasty was located, and it is now the territory of the Lion King. ”
Qin Yue put the wine glass on the table and scolded: "In such a hurry, you don't want to die, and you are still tired of Master Guo." ”
Guo Mingwu said with a smile: "General A is anxious, and he is also anxious, when he was a teenager, he entered the Western Regions with the master's family, and then he was separated for twelve years, and he wanted to be a little faster than General A." ”
Jia Yin smiled: "Uncle Guo, I've said it a few times, but I still call Huzi happy." ”
Jia Yin took the wine glass and walked with Manid first, and continued: "After resting in Futu City for the night, Uncle Guo found an acquaintance to lead the way the next day, and then went out of the city again, walked for two more days, and finally arrived at the place. ”
Jia Yin said with some shame: "I only saw my father-in-law once, and he only said a good word." ”
Qin Yue saw his expression and knew that there were outsiders there, and some things were not easy to talk about, so he asked, "Then ...... this Manid brother?"
Jia Yin smiled: "He was a slave who was sold, it is said that he came from the farther west, far away, he walked on the road for more than seven months, when I saw him, the whole body was more terrible than I was back then, I don't know how many times I didn't know, you haven't been there, the cold wind in the Western Regions is really like a wind knife, I looked at him and remembered his previous hardship, and I was soft-hearted, so I bought him." ”
Jia Yin stretched out a finger: "One or two gold." ”
Qin Yue was surprised: "So expensive? ”
"Yes, the seller said that he was a nobleman, so it should be more expensive, I think it will be expensive, I really can't stand the pitiful appearance of him barefoot on the snow."
Qin Yue scratched his head and was a little speechless at Jia Yin.
Seeing that Qin Yue didn't speak, Jia Yin turned his head and raised a glass to Manid: "Drink." ”
"Drink."
Manid's pronunciation is very confused, and it is obvious that the Chinese language that he just learned on the road has not been learned clearly.
Qin Yue and Guo Mingwu had a drink together, and then asked, "Then what's the matter with your horse?" ”
Jia Yin smiled, but he didn't want to say anything.
Qin Yue looked at Guo Mingwu, Guo Mingwu said with a smile: "The head of the family is in the place, two days to the west, there is a Moon Lake, where the horses are the most handsome, Huzi ran away after hearing about it, but when he got to the ground, it was a joke."
When people buy horses, they all look at their teeth and feet, and Huzi buys horses, only asking if they are beautiful, and then they buy this peach blossom horse that women on the grassland don't like. ”
"You also saw the horse, although handsome, but obviously no strength, no speed, is a kind of goods, we all persuaded the tiger to change one, even the herdsman was embarrassed to sell the horse to him, but he wanted it, and the horse was cleaned clean, and the horse's mane was carefully trimmed, don't you say, on beauty, it is really one in a hundred......"
Jia Yin's face turned red and shouted, "Uncle Guo, let's talk about it myself." ”
"I don't just think that Qi Niang can ride You Chun, as long as it looks good, the temperament is docile, wash the horse, grazing by the river, I practice my own lance, how do I know that the beast is coming, but I vigorously revolve around this little mare, and want to bully it, I am on fire for a while, hold the lance, wrap my arms around the beast's neck, and pull it into the lake."
"Forget that the horse will be in the water, this cargo fluttered a few times and came ashore, and rushed over to kick me in a daze, I fired up the knife, and slashed down, this cargo shrank back, avoided the knife, and then the front hooves were soft on the ground, I thought it was served, straddled up, ready to tease it, but this guy got up and ran, this time it can make me miserable."
Qin Yueqiang couldn't help laughing, thinking that people had an adventure when they demoted their names to horses, you were properly tempted, and I had to be embarrassed to say it, but I was also curious about how this thing lowered the horse, so he asked, "What happened later?" ”
"Huh, the horse is very weird, constantly jumping and tossing, but I want to throw me into the lake, I can't ride, I just hold the horse's neck and wrestle with each other, fortunately, the beast is a beast after all, the light is useless, it will not be four or two thousand pounds, I have been beaten a few times, and I am honest."
"When I found out that the herdsmen were bowing down to it, I realized that I had encountered the legendary beast, but unfortunately it was not a Pegasus, but a feared hellfire...... Everybody advised me to let it go, ominous.
I want to care about it, anyway, it has rough skin and thick meat, and it runs fast, so it's best to use it to charge into battle, so I brought it back, Jiulang, you don't believe this, do you? ”
Qin Yue slapped the table, his tone was full of envy: "An Shan is right, you are really a beast, a beast of beasts, like a beast, you stay away from me in the future." ”
Jiayin he, hehe, a piece of fat sheep, eat happily, and then press it with wine, how beautiful it is.
Jia Yin ate happily in the dining room, but Su Ziyu cried in the embroidery building.
Granny Yan's face was full of anger, and Shuang'er Xiang'er was full of sorrow, but she didn't know how to persuade each other for a while.
No one could have imagined that the gift from the head of the family that Jia Yin had brought back from the Western Regions with joy and joy in his arms turned out to be a cold letter.
Qi Niang can get married, but she must leave the house.
……
Although Jiayin is the quasi-langzi of the Su family, he has no reason to live in immediately, he is full of wine and food, and rides back to Xu's house, but Manide let him get along with Guo Mingwu for a while and teach Chinese, otherwise he can't communicate.
The two brothers changed into thick home jackets and started drinking again, and this time the conversation could be opened.
"Tell me, what kind of person is your father-in-law?"
"He's not surnamed Sue." As soon as Jia Yin opened his mouth, he was speechless and swearing.
"He is in the Western Regions, known as the Iron Mask King."
“……”
Jia Yin made a horizontal line above his nose and said: "From here on, they are covered with a gold mask, covering their ears all the time, I have peeked carefully, there are no earlobes, there should be no ears." ”
"He is in the northwest of Beiting, there is a city, leading the lake to protect the city, it is very steep, and there are three thousand iron armor, all of them riding a bow and a bow, it is said that the lion king does not dare to provoke him easily, so his caravan can be said to be unimpeded in the Western Regions."
Qin Yue burst into a foul language and said, "What kind of luck do you kid have, you actually found a city lord as a backer." ”
"I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing, he really only said one word to me."
"A good word?"
"Yes. He sat on a high position as the lord of the city, listened to the butler's words, looked at me twice, then said the word 'good', waved his sleeves, and let me go down. ”
