Chapter XVIII Hao Ma 2
"Do you think," finally no longer covered by the tent, the main bed was as luxurious as before, Xiong Jing sat on the throne, his eyes glaring at Hu Tanzi. “…… Isn't it young and bullied, stupid as a pig? ”
"The villain doesn't dare." Hu Tansuozhi heard that Xiong Jing was back, and as soon as he came back, he summoned him, but only after seeing him did he know that the situation was wrong.
"And what is this?" Xiong Jing put the small half of Langji picked up by the courtiers on the case.
"This is the truth of Langji." Hu Tanshaozhi looked at it and replied without hesitation.
"Left and right!" Xiong Jing shouted, "Drag it out and beat twenty sticks." ”
"King, King!" Hu Tanshaozhi didn't expect Xiong Jing to beat him, so he got up and was about to shout, but the sanitation took him out without saying a word, and soon, Hu Tanshaozhi screamed like a pig outside.
"King Chu, this is ......" Qi Wang Tian Jian was also sleeping at this time, he still had expectations for the immortal medicine, for fear that he would break the two incarnates and not give himself the immortal medicine.
"Is this the truth?" Xiong Jing held up the small half of the fruit on the shore and laughed, then his face sank, and he hated: "This is a pomegranate!" ”
"Stones, pomegranates?" No one had ever heard of the name, but Zuo Shi hurriedly wrote down the word pomegranate.
"Yes, yes." Xiong Jing peeled a fruit, and when he saw that King Qi was greedy, he immediately gave him all the remaining half of the pomegranate. "This is a fruit produced in the West, such as oranges. It blooms once a year and bears fruit once a year. Hu people think I'm stupid......"
Xiong Jing was introducing what a pomegranate was, but Qi Wangjian was eating the pomegranate violently, and he finally swallowed the skin.
"King Qi ......" Seeing King Qi gobbling up, Xiong Jing wanted to laugh.
"Ahem...... cough cough" Finally, King Qi, who had eaten the pomegranate skin, coughed twice, drank a sip of pepper syrup and said: "The widow has eaten countless fruits in his life, and he has not seen this, seen this ......" The servant behind him told each other, and King Qi Jiancai said: "See this pomegranate also." I don't know ...... the elixir of immortality."
"Your lord," the sanitation stepped in, "the execution is over, dare to ask the king......"
"Bring him up." Xiong Jing muttered. Then he looked at the King of Qi, as well as the servants and historians behind the King of Qi: "Don't say anything first, what you offer is not the medicine of immortality, King Qi wants to eat, and you don't stop it." But if ......"
If the medicine is not marijuana, it will not be able to eat the dead, but Xiong Jing still has a word first.
"Don't worry, the king of Chu wants to eat the medicine of immortality, if he lives long, he will not move others." After Tian Jian finished speaking, he looked at the historian of Qi behind him, "You wait to write it down, eating immortal medicine is the intention of widows, and it has nothing to do with the king of Chu." ”
"Great King, Great King......" Hu Tanshao was put in, and although the twenty sticks were not fatal, they were painful enough.
"Next time, if you dare to take a broken pomegranate to coax you, you will have to cut off your head!" Xiong Jing is murderous. Hearing the syllable 'pomegranate', Hu Tanshaozhi's body couldn't help but tremble a few times.
Pomegranate is native to Central Asia and West Asia, and has been cultivated for more than 3,000 years, and was introduced to China in the Western Han Dynasty. 'Pomegranate' is a Persian language, and the Han Dynasty people called the pomegranate an pomegranate. In this era, foreign things are mostly commensurate with antiphons, such as the Macedonian military music brought back by Zhang Qian from Central Asia, and before Li Yannian adapted it into Yuefu 28 songs for the border army, the music was called Mahatule.
As soon as Hu Tanshaozhi heard the word "pomegranate", he was a spirit, and he thought that Xiong Jing had really seen a pomegranate.
"I don't know what the elixir of immortality you offered." Xiong Jing sneered. "What is immortality, marijuana. Now that the queen mother has bought this thing and the transaction has been completed, she has no intention of repenting, but the extra 100,000 catties of iron must be recovered. Go and call those two incarnates, King Qi wants to eat immortal medicine, and quickly match King Qi. ”
100,000 catties of iron, that is, 2.5 tons, 2.5 tons, 2.0 tons to cause a huge armor, sold only more than 100 gold, if the cost is calculated, it is only worth thousands of dollars. Xiong Jing didn't care about the money, he cared about the horses and the brimstone.
"Villain," Hu Tan's buttocks hurt and he didn't dare to land, so he could only half-lie on the desk and speak. Seeing his appearance, Xiong Jing said: "Find two vertical men to carry him back to the post house." Also, from today onwards, all the expenses of the post house are borne by him, and have nothing to do with the royal court. ”
Xiong Jing sent Hu Tansuo away like this, but after a while he was carried back again. He is a translator, and without him, he can't communicate with Xiong Jing. This bowl rider is still dressed as when he entered the Yingdu that day, and when he saw his appearance, he remembered the Western priest. The priest's crescent shovel in his hand was 'clattering' on the concrete floor, his mouth and nose were snorting, and his beard was shaking, and he could see that he was very angry. Behind him was the young Canu half, he was young after all, and when Xiong Jing's eyes glared at him, he chose to dodge after staring at him for a while.
"King," after the bowl rider knew what to say, Hu Tansuo hurriedly translated. "Holy Messenger, Holy Messenger...... It is said that the king did not respect Ahura Mazda, the god of light, and the holy envoy did not prepare the king with the medicine of immortality. ”
"The god of light?" Xiong Jing didn't know what this god of light was, so he said very politely: "No god is allowed to lie by any god, and if your so-called Ahura Mazda allows lying, how can you respect it?" ”
"The words of the holy envoy," the words were translated again and again, and Hu Tanzao said again: "The kings of Xia are all in awe of the god of light, and the king is just ...... It's just a king, why is it disrespectful to Westerners? ”
"The king of the kings of Xia?" Xiong Jing was puzzled when he heard this, and You Shi whispered in his ear before he understood that Hu Ren was talking about Mu Tianzi. "King Mu of Zhou is just a king of the summer land, what is the king of kings? There are Laiyi, Xu Fang, and Huaiyi in the east, and Chu State, Baiyue, and Sanmiao in the south. You can wait for the medicine or not, and leave the Chu State immediately. Don't even think about transporting 100,000 catties of iron. ”
"The King." Hu Tanshao almost wanted to cry, if he couldn't take away 100,000 catties of iron, wouldn't he fight for nothing with 20 sticks. He trembled and selectively translated some words to Ben Bo Zhi, and Ben Bo Caizhi's face became even more angry when he heard this.
"Back then, the king of kings also offered countless silks to get the medicine of immortality. Why didn't the lowly Oriental fear the descendants of Ahura Mazda, who did not know that Ahura Mazda had said that the East would always be low? Doesn't he know......" The knight pointed to the row of chimes hanging on the side of the Ming Hall, and then raised his wrought iron crescent shovel, "Don't you know that without the West, the East can never cast copper; Without the West, the East will never know how to smelt iron; Without the West, there will never be a car in the East......
After a long speech, Ben Bo Rider spread out his hands and looked up at the top of his head: "Ahura Mazda! Why do lowly Orientals never understand that they are so lowly? Why do they never know the fear of God? ”
The words of this bowl are not disrespectful to Xiong Jing, and Hu Tanshaozhi's translation does not mention gods and lowliness, but only cites the example of Mu Tianzi and his series of rhetorical questions. Xiong Jing's eyebrows jumped wildly, he deliberately looked at the historian behind him, and then at the history of Qi behind King Qi, these people did not react. He stood up, his hands trembling a little, and he felt insulted.
"Technology will always be technology, civilization will always be civilization!" Even if the summer smelting iron was passed from the river, but it was created in the river? Was this created by Persia? Is this a Greek creation? Is this Macedonian creation?
Not to mention that the river has been conquered by the Greeks at this time, even if it is not conquered, the difference between the river and the summer land is nothing more than the difference in distance, and you are only closer to the Hittites. A two-way, no, no! A four-way dealer is boastful, how can he be proud? ”
The Hittites, even the Honpo Riders, had only heard of it, a non-existent people, who were the first to popularize iron. Hearing this, he looked at Xiong Jing as if he had seen a ghost, and Hu Tanshaozhi's previous words kept recalling in his ear: The king of Chu Ni was born to know.
"Grab your marijuana and get back into your river! Remember to tell your children and grandchildren: the king of Chu in the east will conquer the whole world in his lifetime! Including the Greeks and Macedonians who are now riding on your heads. Then you will know: who is the noblest and who is the lowest! ”
Xiong Jing, who finished speaking, waved his hand, and before Hu Tanshaozhi finished translating, the sanitation threw back the wooden box containing the immortal medicine to the horse of the bowl, and then drove the two out of the main bed. The others were stunned, and Qi Wang Tianjian jumped up anxiously. "King Chu, why is this? Expelling people, who dispenses medicine with widows? ”
The king of Qi doesn't know what the West and the East, what the Hittites in the river, he rushed all the way to the Chu State, just to eat the medicine of immortality, and now Xiong Jing has driven the people away, how can he eat the medicine of immortality?
"King Qi, don't be impatient, the medicine of immortality is just a hallucinogenic medicine, and you can't eat it without dying." Xiong Jing took out a hemp seed, he had eaten a few of them, although he was not sure that it was a hemp seed, but the medicinal properties were definitely the same as marijuana - this is the effect of Du Leng Ding in the hospital.
"Does the King of Chu want to break his word and get fat?" Tian Jian was even more anxious, as if he rushed out of the main bed to pull the two avatars back.
"Big, big king...... "Hu Tansuo Zhi hasn't left yet, "the villain still has some Haoma." ”
"You have?" King Qi and Xiong Jing both looked at him.
"Yes. In the post house, if the king of Qi wants to eat, the villain can offer it. It's just, it's just ......" Hu Tanshao's eyes flashed, and what he wanted was self-evident.
"That's fine." Xiong Jing smiled bitterly, "You offer medicine to the King of Qi, and the widow will give you 30,000 catties of iron." ”
"King Xie! Thank you, King! Hu Tanshao, who finally saved some of the situation, no longer hurt his buttocks, he hurriedly retired and came back in a hurry. When he went to bed, he held a wooden box, which was opened, and in addition to the hemp seeds, there was a horn cup, which was inlaid with gold and silver. The hemp seeds were squeezed into the cup, and when the cup was about to be full, the small mallet in his hand finally stopped.
"If there is a pomegranate, you can remove its taste, and if you don't, you can drink it." Hu Tanshaozhi bluntly told the role of pomegranates, which is tasteless.
"King Qi ......" Xiong Jing spoke, and Qi Wang Tian Jian snatched the horn cup in Hu Tanshao's hand and drank the juice in the cup.
