Chapter 464 [Swallowing Clouds and Spitting Mist? That's called dry tobacco! 】
Who is Subi Jongpo?
Who is Fan Daniu?
These two guys are all die-hard fans of Li Yun.
At the beginning, Li Yun set up a trading center in Fanyang City, and the auction on the first day was turbulent, Li Yun auctioned a total of five special auctions that day, the first of which was the secret recipe for making honeycomb coal and stove chimneys.
He only has a piece of natural dog's head gold!
The piece of dog's head gold weighed 11 catties and 4 taels, and it was a special gold formed by pure natural molding.
At that time, Li Yun had a deep meaning, so he and Li Shimin acted in a special scene, and they became brothers with the Tibetan merchant Jia in front of everyone's eyes.
That merchant is Subi Qiongbo!
As for Fan Daniu, he was the first person to buy goods at a high price, although the items he auctioned at that time were only some Jiannan Dao mountain goods, but he was the first person to successfully bid from the Fanyang Trading Center, and it was still a capped auction, and there was a kind of decisiveness that would not hesitate at a glance.
Li Yun appreciated this decisiveness, so he also gave Fan Daniu a chance. He and Abdullah, an Abdullah in the Western Regions, were also honored members of the trading center sent by Li Yun, and were accepted as dogs and horses, envying countless merchants.
In this era, no matter how rich the merchants were, their status was always inferior, and becoming a dog and horse was not a so-called derogatory term in later generations, but a way of refuge that countless merchants longed for but could not obtain.
……
The night was deep, the cold wind was howling, and a group of ferocious horse bandits personally escorted the two of them, galloping across the mountains and forests under the cold moonlight.
The weather in the Western Regions is bitter and cold, but the territory is wider than the Central Plains, there are mountains, plateaus, deserts, and oases, some people say that they are very poor here, some people say that they are very rich here, they are poor because of insufficient materials, and they are rich because of too many products.
Therefore, between the rich and the poor, no one can make a conclusion, only know that since ancient times, merchants have all been proud of the Western Regions, and as long as they run once in their lives, they will never have to run again.
A businessman who is full of money and runs a fart!
Therefore, from this point of view, the Western Regions should be classified as rich.
The six evil horse bandits roared all the way, escorting the two of them to run wildly, and suddenly a black shadow appeared under the moonlight, and the shadow was hidden between the mountains, which was actually not a black shadow, it was actually an oasis, because it was surrounded by high mountains, which could shield the violent wind and sand, and because the snow melted on the high mountains, it could be watered with grass and trees, so it formed a natural oasis, and the weather temperature was much warmer than outside.
"Hahaha, it's home!"
In the wild laughter of the horse bandits, they rushed in with the two of them, and suddenly everyone stopped laughing wildly, and even gasping became hard to suppress, as if they were afraid of disturbing someone, so they would be very careful to hold their breath and condense.
Subi Qiongbo and Fan Daniu glanced at each other, and they both saw the look of surprise and curiosity in each other's eyes.
What kind of characters can make this group of vicious horse bandits like this?
But seeing that the horse bandits suddenly pulled the reins, it seemed that even their necks subconsciously shrunk, and suddenly a voice like a mosquito and a fly sounded in the ears of the two of them, and it was actually a fierce horse bandit who carefully told them, saying: "When you can speak, you have a little eyesight, you must remember to praise us a lot, if you can help us get a credit, brothers, thank you two ancestors of the eight generations......"
It is worthy of being a commodity on the green forest, and he speaks with a strong voice, obviously he wants to say something nice, but when he hears it, he feels that his ears are pierced, and it is really a natural murder Yingye knife head licking blood, and it is really difficult for them to let them say that it sounds good.
But Subi Qiongbo and Fan Daniu didn't dare to be sarcastic, but nodded solemnly, and promised in a deep voice: "Rest assured, all heroes, you will never forget the grace of saving your life." ”
"Haha, that's it!" The bandits were pleasantly surprised, and seemed to be bolder than when they first entered the oasis.
So the people marched again on horseback, and continued in the direction of the center of the oasis, but this time they did not dare to gallop wildly, but walked slowly and leisurely like a walk under the moon.
Subi Qiongbo and Fan Da Niu were particularly eager for this slow way of riding because of their injuries, and only then did they finally have the energy to get ready to observe this small oasis hidden in the valley.
I didn't know that I just looked at it, and I happened to see a figure, which was more than eight feet long, definitely a burly and tall man, but unfortunately as I slowly approached, I saw that it was no longer a man, but an old man with a scar on his face, and his age may have been sixty or seventy years old.
The two subconsciously glanced at each other again, and at the same time secretly said in their hearts: "This old man must have been a strong man when he was young, maybe a more vicious horse bandit, look at his face full of scars and hideous, I don't know how many robberies he has had, but unfortunately time in the world urges people to get old, no matter how fierce the horse bandit is also old and weak, although he is more than eight feet tall, but now he is dying, alas, just an old man." ”
Thinking like this in his heart, he couldn't help but sigh out loud, and even said a word of pity in sympathy.
As a result, a few horse bandits looked sluggish, and after a long time, they were stunned and said, "What are you sorry for?" Are you sympathizing with the old man? ”
Subi Qiongbo nodded, and said with feeling: "Yes, it is sympathy for this old gentleman, seeing that he is tall and tall, he must be a good man when he is young, but it is a pity that the years urge people to grow old, no matter how heroes have a lonely day, you look at this old man, he leans on the trunk of a tree and looks up at the moonlight, you look at his eyes again, isn't that sentimental for his passing years......"
The horse bandits looked at each other, and everyone had a strange look on their faces, especially the six young sons who were in the lead, and there were a lot of hard work and grievances on their faces.
After a long time, a horse bandit coughed quietly and hinted in a low voice: "This is our big boss, who once slapped a Western Regions lion to death, you have seen the lion, it is our legendary Ni Jun in the Central Plains, that thing is like a cow, and its strength is stronger than the tiger in the mountains, but our big boss only slapped a Western Regions lion and burst the brain......"
Subi Qiongbo's body stiffened, and Fan Daniu next to him was also stunned, the two subconsciously glanced at each other again, and almost blurted out in unison, asking, "When did this happen?" ”
If it was a long time ago, it would be equivalent to the fierceness of the old man when he was young, although it was shocking, but it was not particularly shocking.
Unfortunately, the horse bandit suddenly stretched out a finger and replied: "...... a month ago"
Both of them froze at the same time, their faces shocked.
A month ago, the old man just slapped a lion in the Western Regions to death?
But they sighed with emotion just now, sighing that time in the world is urging people to grow old!
The face snapped.
The two of them turned their heads in a daze, looked at the old man again, and suddenly saw the old man raise a long pole, put it to his mouth and take a hard breath, and then spit out a long white smoke from his mouth.
The two of them were shocked, and said at the same time: "Swallowing clouds and spitting fog? ”
As a result, the horse bandit had a strange face, as if he was looking at two two fools, and said: "The fart swallows the clouds and spits out the fog, that is called dry smoke, it is said that it is a treasure made by the lord of the Bohai Sea, and it is specially given to his master to spend time ......."
This explained the origin of the dry tobacco, but it made Subi Qiongbo and Fan Daniu hear another meaning, and the two of them didn't know how many times they looked at each other, and blurted out almost at the same time again: "Master Uncle? ”
The horse bandit said twice, and said with a clear smugness: "If it weren't for the master of the Bohai Lord, who in the world could suppress us bandits?" ”
Let's go, let's go!
Seeing that the old man took a few more puffs, the white gas slowly exhaled under the moonlight, Subi Qiongbo's face suddenly turned solemn, and he said solemnly: "I want to get off the horse and go over to meet this elder, since he is the master uncle of the Bohai Lord, then he is also the master of my Subi Qiongbo......
The horse bandits were all stunned, no one expected that this Tubo man would know etiquette so well, but the leading young man waved his hand and said softly: "Forget it, don't bother, the old man doesn't like to ask about the world, you just arch your hand in his direction." Seeing that it's getting late, let's go and meet the boss first. ”
Subi Qiongbo hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to be good, but he did not arch his hand as the young man said, but jumped off the horse and stood on the ground, and then carefully tidied up his clothes, and then knelt on the ground with a puff, respectfully kowtowed nine times, and followed the etiquette of the younger generations of the Han family in the Central Plains to meet the elders.
From beginning to end, the old man did not move at all, until Su Bi Qiongbo finished kowtowing for nine sounds, and the old man slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and praised lightly: "Not bad! ”
Just two words!
But the bandits were full of ecstasy!
The six young sons in the lead plucked up their courage and shouted respectfully from afar: "Grandpa Zhai, this is the sworn brother of the lord of the Bohai Sea, because he was chased and killed by the Tubo cavalry, he was rescued by us by chance......
After a pause, he hesitated for a moment and then plucked up his courage and said: "In order to save the two of them, we fought with the Tubo cavalry, losing more than a dozen good hands, and more than 100 people were injured. Grandpa Zhai, how do you think this matter should be ......? ”
The tone was flattering, and there seemed to be temptation between apprehension.
It's a pity that the old man didn't make any reply, but said lightly: "The old man doesn't have the heart to manage these trivial matters. ”
The young man in the lead was a little unwilling, and asked cautiously: "Then can you give us permission and let us go and report this matter to the boss?" ”
The old man waved his hand, leaned against a tree trunk and continued to swallow the clouds and mist, as if he did not say anything, but the young man looked ecstatic.
The horse bandits' faces were also full of ecstasy, and their wheezing voices became heavy.
"Let's go, Grandpa Zhai will allow it." The young man gave an order, lowered his voice and said, "Before it's too late, let's hurry up and meet the boss." ”
