The white man was overjoyed to find that someone could speak Greek, and after asking Yang Chong's name, he introduced himself as Lanos, a man from the Byzantine Empire, and Lanos asked: "I don't have copper coins, can I barter goods?" ”

As soon as Yang Chong told Fan Di what he meant, Fan Di immediately agreed: "Ask him, what are the goods?" ”

Yang Chong translated back and forth, and finally the two sides agreed that one Persian blanket would be exchanged for ten buckets of rice, Lanos would bring two blankets, and Fan Di would choose one and complete the business. Gu Dizang didn't leave from beginning to end, he could only praise the abbot in his heart for his unique vision, and yesterday he saw at a glance that Yang Chong was not a thing in the pool, and he had a good fate; Shi Daqian said with a look of surprise: "Brother Yang, since you know the language of Great Qin, I took the liberty before, I will tell the envoy Master Wei when I go back, and arrange a better errand for you." ”

Lanos also told Yang Chong that he would trade with some Han Chinese in the next two days, and he would go to him when the time came; Yang Chong couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't expect that his learning of Greek would come in handy after crossing over, in the original world, to find a job, as soon as he spoke Greek, he was sent away by the other party. Yang Chong and Lanos muttered for a while, saying that they would meet at the door of Fan Di tomorrow, and then say goodbye to Gudizang, only to find that Shi Daqian had already bought the rice.

Back at the post house, Yang Chong was dragged by Shi Daqian to meet the two envoys, and was meeting Yuan Tiangang, a doorman of Wei Jie, who was in his thirties, with a strange face and an elegant dust. Yuan Tiangang said kindly: "Lord Wei and Lord Du have gone to the palace for a banquet, let's talk about it tomorrow." Hey, this little brother is extraordinary, and his bones are ......."

Yuan Tiangang suddenly found that he couldn't go on, and couldn't help but look at Yang Chong carefully, and Shi Daqian introduced the two sides; Yang Chong didn't care about it at first, but when he found out that the situation was wrong, and Shi Daqian told him that the person in front of him was Yuan Tiangang, Yang Chong was suddenly a little nervous. Yuan Tiangang, the first minister of the Tang Dynasty, wrote "Tui Bei Tu" with Li Chunfeng, and saw that Wu Zetian, who was still in infancy, should be the lord of the world, Yang Chong didn't know what Yuan Tiangang could see on his face.

Yuan Tiangang watched it for half an hour, and finally shook his head and said, "Brother Yang's appearance is wonderful, but it's a pity that Tiangang's cultivation is not enough. ”

Yang Chong was relieved and deliberately asked, "Sir has never encountered such a situation?" ”

Yuan Tiangang said with a smile: "Brother Yang is the second, and the other person is Zhang Guo of Liangzhou." ”

Zhang Guo, Yang Chong thought of a person, Zhang Guolao among the Eight Immortals, who was also a person from the Sui and Tang dynasties, and asked curiously: "But the one who rides the donkey upside down?" ”

Yuan Tiangang immediately had an ingenious feeling, and stroked his palms and said: "What Brother Yang said is not false at all, but do you know? ”

Yang Chong found that he had a lot of words, and made up for it: "No, I heard a merchant say it on the way to the Western Regions, and I thought it was interesting, so I couldn't help but ask." ”

Yuan Tiangang nodded meaningfully and said: "I see, Zhang Guo is now living in seclusion in Zhongtiao Mountain, and it is difficult for idlers to see him, if Brother Yang is interested, he can go back to the Central Plains to have a look." ”

Yang Chong thanked him, and followed Shi Daqian back to the room, the two chatted for a while, very speculative, Yang Chong gave full play to the skills of nonsense and jokes, saying that he was a native of Andorra Island in Lingnan, with clear water and blue sky, coconut trees, and rubber forests. During the conversation, Yang Chong learned that Shi Daqian was the nephew of the famous general Shi Wansui, and at the beginning of the year, because he offended his boss Yu Wenshu, he was pushed to the end, and changed from an officer to a groom.

The next morning, Yang Chong said something to Shi Daqian, then slipped out of the post house, hurriedly ran to the front of Fan Di's shop, met with Lanos, and helped Lanos buy silk and porcelain. Before Yang Chong's waist slashing bargaining skills, they retreated one after another, allowing Lanos to take a good price, and Lanos gave Yang Chong three taels of pepper as agreed in advance, plus a reward of six silver coins.

Yang Chong returned to the post house, but saw Shi Daqian in a hurry in the house, Yang Chong asked, Shi Daqian said hesitantly: "The translator's errand is already someone, it is Lord Du's disciple Feng Zhen, although his level is not as good as you, but Lord Du thinks that you are from an unknown place and are not suitable for contacting secrets, and he does not agree with you to stay in the mission." ”

Yang Chong was not surprised, since Du Xingman wanted to help Feng Zhen, he had to remove his uneasy factor, smiled indifferently, took out three silver coins and handed them to Shi Daqian and said, "Brother Shi, thank you for taking me in yesterday, I will leave, and when you hand this over to that Lord Du, I will say that it was my accommodation fee last night." ”

"Brother Yang, what do you think of me?" Shi Daqian's face became gloomy, and he took out ten taels of silver and two letters from the rattan box and said: "This is a letter written by Master Wei and me for you, you hand it over to the Changfeng Carriage Company in Huni City, and they will send you back to Chang'an, and the silver is for you to use on the road." ”

Yang Chong was about to refuse, but outside the house, Yuan Tiangang walked in with a smile and said, "I heard that Brother Yang is going to Changfeng Motorcycle, I just want to go and see it, so it's better to go together." ”

Yang Chong understood that Wei Jie's letter was obtained by Shi Daqian with great effort, and he couldn't hurt Shi Daqian's kindness in front of outsiders, so he took it and said: "Then thank you Brother Shi, when you return to Chang'an, I will invite Big Brother to dinner." ”

Shi Daqian breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brother Yang, put away the silver coin, this silver coin can find a place to use it in the forty-four countries of the Western Regions, even if it goes to those places in Chang'an and Luoyang, there are Hu merchants who recognize it, and gold and silver shops and cabinets also accept it." No matter how bad it is, this is always silver, and it can be used as broken silver, and you still need money to walk the rivers and lakes alone. ”

Shi Daqian paid attention to Yang Chong at that time, but he saw the excitement of the army in Yang Chong's eyes, and wanted to pull Yang Chong to join the Sui army, but he didn't expect this result, and there was a kind of wordless sentimentality. Yang Chong put the letter and silver into his arms, picked up his burden from the bed, and said goodbye to Shi Daqian; Yuan Tiangang comforted Shi Daqian and said: "People are life, you can't force it, maybe Yang Chong has another chance because of this?" ”

Yuan Tiangang and Yang Chong came out of the post house, ran to Lanos, and told Yang Chong that he still had two partners and also wanted Yang Chong to help with the purchase, Yang Chong told Lanos about his situation, saying that if he didn't leave in the past two days, he would definitely help. On the contrary, Lanos knew the location of the car dealership, and volunteered to lead the two over, just waiting for Yang Chong's decision; The car shop is in the south of the city, and Yuan Hao, who is in charge, read the letters from Wei Jie and Shi Daqian, and said kindly: "There will be a convoy back to Chang'an the day after tomorrow, I will leave a place for Yang Gongzi, Yang Gongzi will hurry up and buy some goods, it is not easy to come here." ”

There was an inn at the car dealership, and Yang Chong stayed at the inn, and Lanos made an appointment to come over the next day and left happily. Yuan Tiangang looked at the sky and said: "Brother Yang, I see that there is a wine shop opposite the car dealership, why don't you go and have a few glasses, the wine in the Western Regions is a fine wine, not to be missed." ”

Yang Chong had long guessed that Yuan Tiangang had specially accompanied him, and said with a smile: "Then bother." ”
