It wasn't until Tang Ning found an inn and chartered the second floor of the inn that he was temporarily settled in Shazhou, and there was still a faint pain in a certain position in his waist.

Xiaoxiao threw him a helpless look, closed his door and went to take a shower.

After entering the room, Tang Yaoyao snorted coldly and sat on the edge of the bed without speaking.

Tang Ning sighed secretly, he admitted that he did have more love debts, but he would not be so tasteful as to see a few interracial women on the street who showed their bellies.

Tang goblins, who like to be jealous, don't worry, she will be fine after a while.

Tang Ning was worried about Xiao Wan's mother and Tang Shui, Xiao Wan was different from Chen Chu, and also different from Qiandi, Tang Ning didn't have any eyes and ears there, and those beggar elites, except for Hong Qi, no one escaped alone, I am afraid that they will all become Xiao Wan's prisoners.

No matter how urgent he is in his heart, what he needs to do now is to calm down and collect information about the Western Regions and Xiao Wan.

In addition, they also need at least one guide who is proficient in the language of the Western Regions, after all, none of them understand the language of the Western Regions, and if they enter the Western Regions rashly, when the language is not understood, they will encounter unimaginable obstacles just to communicate.

However, this matter is not difficult, the Western Regions and Chen Guo had trade with each other in the early years, and in Shazhou City, there are many people who make a living from translation, called Tongyi, they are proficient in the languages of the two places, and the merchants of the Western Regions and the Chen State are willing to hire them, follow them all the way in the caravan, and only need to pay them a part of the honorarium.

Dozens of small countries in the Western Regions, although the language is not the same, but except for a few countries, the language is similar, generally speaking, hiring two interpreters is enough to solve the problem of communication.

As for big countries like Xiaowan and Wusun, there are already many envoys who are proficient in Chinese, and they don't have to worry about communication.

Even so, just in case, before leaving, Tang Ning still planned to find a reliable interpreter.

Tang Yaoyao saw Tang Ning sitting at the table, didn't speak for a long time, slowly leaned over, and whispered: "Don't worry, didn't you say that Xiao Wan has always been very good to the captives, they will definitely be fine." ”

Tang Ning sighed lightly and said, "If only I had stopped them and prevented them from coming to the Western Regions." ”

Tang Yaoyao shook his head and said, "My cousin wants to come to the Western Regions to find her parents, even if you want to stop her, you can't stop her." ”

She suddenly thought of something, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "If Cousin Tang Shui finds his parents, can your marriage contract be canceled?" ”

Tang Ning nodded, the marriage contract between Tang Ning and Tang Shui was made by the parents of both parties, and the parents of both parties could naturally cancel it.

Tang Xiaoyao asked again: "What if she doesn't find it?" ”

The ancients attached great importance to faith and commitment, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the family affairs set by the two parties, one party naturally could not break the contract, which was a rite.

If the other party has already made an ancient mistake, this agreement cannot be easily violated, otherwise it will be spurned by all people.

However, you can't really let him and Tang Shui fulfill the agreement between the two parents back then, right?

The cousin became a lady, thinking of that possibility, Tang Ning swallowed his saliva, nodded Tang Xiaoyao's forehead, and said righteously: "What is your head thinking about all day long, go take a bath, we have to go out to run errands after washing!" ”

was pierced by Tang Ning's filthy thoughts, Tang Yao went to take a bath in shame, the air in Shazhou today is extremely bad, the air is filled with wind and sand, she and Xiaoxiao have been walking outside for so long, they can't stand it anymore.

Tang Ning sat at the table, waiting for Tang Yaoyao to go out together after taking a shower, and for some reason, a thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

After a while, he sank his face, slapped himself lightly, spat fiercely, and said angrily: "Phew, scum! ”

……

Although Shazhou is located in a desert, the weather is hot and dry, and the air is not very good, but the quality of the fruits here is very good.

Tang Yaoyao and Xiaoxiao were holding a piece of melon, Tang Ning was also carrying a bunch of grapes in his hand, Shazhou due to the large temperature difference between day and night, the fruits grown here are easy to accumulate sugar, Tang Ning has eaten a lot of tribute fruits, and they cannot be compared with local fresh goods.

I heard that outside the Yumen Pass, the farther west, the sweeter the fruits produced, but they are not resistant to preservation, and only in the local area can they taste their original taste.

With the lesson just now, Tang Ning's eyes no longer looked at the women with exposed navels and forearms, he inquired about the location of hiring interpreters, and walked towards the interpretation hall while strolling with little Tang Xiaoyao.

The Interpretation Hall in Shazhou is not an official organization, but a non-governmental spontaneous organization, and through the assessment of the Interpretation Hall, you can become an interpreter, and the Interpretation Hall can recommend it to Chen Guo or the Western Regions Caravan who needs to interpret.

Correspondingly, the interpreter will also take part of their remuneration as a reward for referrals.

In addition, there are some people who have not passed the assessment of the interpretation hall, and they usually do some translation business, and the level of these interpreters is generally not very high, and only some small caravans will hire them in order to save money.

These were all things that Tang Ning heard from the inn junior.

Tang Ning naturally hoped to recruit a reliable translator, so he didn't take a few more glances at the unlicensed interpreters who were wandering outside the translation hall.

As soon as I stepped into the translation hall, a steward greeted me and asked enthusiastically, "Childe, do you need an interpreter?" ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "I need an interpreter who is proficient in the Chinese languages of the Western Regions, do you have any recommendations?" ”

"Proficient in Chinese?" The steward was stunned, looked at Tang Ning, and asked, "Dare to ask Gongzi, which countries do you refer to?" ”

Downing asked, "Don't you know the translation of all national languages?" ”

The steward was stunned again, and then said with a smile: "Childe said that he laughed, there are more than 30 large and small countries in the Western Regions, and almost every country has a different language, how can there be an interpreter who understands all the languages of all countries at the same time?" ”

Although the ultimate purpose of Tangning's trip was Xiaowan, in order to avoid any changes on the way, it was naturally better to be well-prepared, he originally thought that if someone could be proficient in multiple Chinese, he would save a lot of trouble, but now it seems that he is a little taken for granted.

At this time, a young man suddenly came up and said: "Don't listen to him, if you want to find an interpreter, you can find me, I am proficient in the languages of the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions, familiar with the terrain of the Western Regions, the price is fair, and Tong Su is not deceiving......"

When the steward saw the young man, he kicked him in the ass and said angrily: "Bahar, if you make trouble here again, I will let you break your legs!" ”

The young man was kicked and ran away, the steward looked at Tang Ning, and said with a smile: "This is a scoundrel, don't care about him, don't worry about ......him."

Tang Ning ignored the young man, looked at the steward, and said, "Then find someone who is proficient in Xiaowan's language." ”

"Xiao Wan?" The steward's face changed, and he said, "Childe is going to Xiaowan?" ”

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Why, isn't there a translator here who understands Xiaowan's dialect?" ”

"Not really." The steward shook his head and said: "A few years ago, Xiaowan was just a small country with a population of only a few hundred, and there are not many interpreters here who understand Xiaowan, but there are a few, the problem is that the situation in the Western Regions is tense now, and the biggest reason is Xiaowan, where there are many dangers, and there is no interpreter willing to go to Xiaowan ......"

Tang Ning looked at the steward and said, "You can help me ask, the silver is not a problem." ”

The steward said: "There are two interpreters here who know Xiaowan's dialect, Childe wait here for a while, I'll help you ask." ”

The steward left the lobby, and after a while, he walked back, shook his head, and said, "Childe, it's really unfortunate that those two interpreters went to other places with the caravan yesterday, and they won't be back until two months at the earliest." ”

For two months, Tang Ning couldn't wait, he was a little regretful, thanked the steward, and planned to leave.

"Childe." He was about to turn around, but the steward stopped him again and said, "Nothing is important, the little one advises the son, or don't go to Xiaowan......"

"Thanks for the reminder." Tang Ning smiled, casually threw a silver ingot over, the steward subconsciously took it, after checking it, he found that there were at least ten taels of silver in his hand, and he was happy on his face, and immediately put it away.

He bowed to the background of Downing's departure, and then turned to leave.

At the same time, in the interpretation hall, the eyes of several people who happened to see this scene suddenly lit up.

Tang Ning walked out of the translation hall, feeling a little disappointed, and just as he was about to go back to the inn to find another way, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

"You're going to Xiaowan?"

Tang Ning turned his head and saw that the young man who had been kicked away by the steward just now was walking towards him.

Tang Ning looked at the young man named Bahar and asked, "Do you know Xiaowan?" ”

Bahar raised his head and said, "Didn't I say it just now, I am proficient in the thirty-six Chinese dialects of the Western Regions, in addition to Xiaowan, I also know Dayue, Qiuzi, Wusun ......"

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "So many interpreters don't dare to go to Xiaowan, aren't you afraid of death?" ”

"They know a!" Bahar glanced at his lips disdainfully, and said: "I am familiar with the situation in the Western Regions, no country is safer than Xiao Wan, if Xiao Wan can't go, the Western Regions can't go anywhere......"
