Chapter 9: Reunion (3)
In the afternoon, Paya leaned against a cobblestone in the shade of a tree and watched as 'Tai Chi' instructed her to teach the Tao of the Sticks. Because the "Persian Knife Method" given by Katilia is taught to be a combination of swords and shields and is not suitable for the "black spear", so Daoyan's use of weapons is sparse and ordinary, but "Taiji" learned the true transmission of the "Shaolin Stick Method" in the South Shaolin Temple, and Dao Yan's skills have greatly improved, and the "Persian Knife Method" Dao Yan gave Singh to practice diligently. Paya called for a rest to taste the juice she had made with nectar and fruit, and they walked over to her. At this moment, Singh arrived on horseback and informed the three that Joseph had returned, and that the patriarch and the guru had invited them back to the camp to discuss the matter, and then smiled mysteriously and told Paya that there was a very 'big' surprise waiting for her at the camp. Paya remembered the rare treasure that Joseph had told her that she would have to wait for a while, and she couldn't wait to return to the camp with Dao Yan and Tai Chi.
When he was still some distance away from the camp, Dao Yan found that there was a new Han-style camp on the meadow by the lake, and many horses outside the camp were leisurely eating grass, and people were coming in and out of the camp from time to time. A brand-new tall tent appeared in the original camp, and as soon as Dao Yan and the others entered the door, they heard Paya's exclamation full of joy, and a huge white elephant appeared in front of everyone. Paya hurriedly ran towards the white elephant, reached out and stroked its long snout, big ears and white tusks, and said in disbelief: "Moon God, it's amazing, is this for me?" ”
"Of course it's for you, give it a name." Joseph smiled when he saw that Payah was so happy.
"What is the name of it, this is simply the incarnation of God, so perfect, so holy, called... Well, it's called Podma, you're as white as a flawless lotus flower on a snowy mountain, Boer, do you like it? Paya said, stroking Podma's broad forehead.
Boer blinked its ruby eyes, slowly knelt down on her front legs, and gently curled her long soft nose around Paya's slender waist, as Paya cheered, Boer put her firmly on her back, Paya opened her arms and hugged its neck firmly, Boer slowly stood up, and carried Paya out of the tent slowly.
"This really matches your status as a big businessman like a rich country." Amir laughed.
Indeed, this white elephant is hard to find. Although the number of white elephants in the palace of the King of Siam is more than ours, but in terms of quality, it is far inferior to ours, and I can guarantee that even the King of Siam himself will be eager to exchange all his white elephants with us when he sees Podma. Joseph said triumphantly and confidently.
"Alright, let's sit down, we have something to talk about. Joseph, let Madhavan come in as well. Kautilia said.
Joseph walked out, and in a few moments he led in a man dressed in Hanfu and about the same age as Amir.
"Servant Madhawan pays a visit to Master Yun." Madehawan knelt on the ground and said respectfully.
Dao Yan hurriedly helped him up and invited him to sit down.
"Daddy Madhavan is my deputy in the Yuan Dynasty, responsible for the commercial trade of the entire Yuan Dynasty and the surrounding countries of Wanli Shitang, the Chinese name is 'Yangyi', and outsiders know that he and Shah Rukh Xin are both trading partners and sworn brothers with different surnames, so all our activities in the Yuan Dynasty are guaranteed by him." Joseph gave a brief account of Madhavan's situation to Dawyan.
Seeing that Paya had not returned, Amir asked Singh to go out to find her. Madehawan told everyone some of the basic information about the current situation, and Dao Yan learned that the original local merchants, after years of painstaking management and Joseph's extraordinary business skills in recent years, had made them second only to the Pu family, the world's largest port, and now many people had received the news that Yun Gongzi, who had inherited Shah Rukh Xin's strong legacy, was returning to Dayuan, which was bound to be of great help to the competitiveness of the two families in the local trade. Therefore, many merchants who used to only cooperate with Pujia have now come to contact us, hoping to have the opportunity to cooperate. So although Dao Yan has not yet arrived, his name has spread throughout the streets and alleys of Quanzhou, and many people are looking forward to seeing this young giant.
Paya and Singh walked in the door, and Madhawan hurriedly fell to the ground to greet him, and after Paya helped him up, he was embarrassed to ask him not to do so in the future. Amir smiled and told Paya that not only does Madhawan not have to be like this in the future, he will be the stepfather of Master Yun in the future, and you will have to ask him for peace when the time comes. Paya happily agreed, and immediately greeted Madhavan, causing Madehawan to sweat. Cortilia tells everyone that for the safety of their people, everyone should not always be too formal, just play their own role. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Cortilia and Amir explained their next steps to the group. This time, Madhawan went west to greet the tribesmen, and the fleet had stopped at the port of Leizhou, and the team only needed to go to Leizhou to take a boat to sail back to Quanzhou along the coastal road. Many years ago, the merchants of the Dayuan tribe began to prepare a large piece of land for the migration of the Ju people on Liuqiu Island, which is across the sea from Quanzhou, and although it has been used to grow rice and process sugar, it has been operating for many years and has all the infrastructure. After receiving the secret letter from the clan, Madhawan ordered the people to speed up the expansion of the original wharf, build a new building on the island, and rebuild the house to prepare for the arrival of the clan. If everyone has no objections, then they will send the clansmen to Liuqiu after going to sea from Leizhou as planned, and then Dao Yan and others will go to Quanzhou to meet with the local officials, and then they can live on the island and enjoy a paradise-like life. Thinking of the fairy-like days in the future, everyone agreed, so they decided to rest early tonight and set off early tomorrow morning.
The round moon hung like a silver platter in the starry night sky, and floated on the mirror lake where the water was not rippling. Boer playfully fan-sized ears fan-sized fans of the fireflies flying beside him, and the resulting breeze swept through Paya's silky hair, carrying bursts of intoxicating fragrance towards Daoyan. 'Tai Chi' leaned against a big tree not far away and yawned lazily.
"Brother Yun, there's something I've been thinking about for a long time, can I tell you?" Paya asked with some hesitation.
"Paya has become as restrained as she was when she first met you, just say anything." Dao Yan said with a smile.
"Brother Yun, I want to be by your side forever no matter where you go after settling down with the clansmen, and I will wait for you for the rest of my life." Paya threw herself into Dao Yan's arms, looked at Dao Yan with those big watery eyes, and said with a little pleading.
Dao Yan knew that Paya was worried that she would leave after fulfilling her agreement to settle the Moon Protoss.
"Brother Yun, don't worry, I will keep my mouth shut after I find Sister Mo, and I won't trouble you, if you marry her, I'll be a servant. I just don't want to leave you, can I? Seeing that Dao Yan was silent, Paya continued.
"I made a promise with Jean, but we also promised that we would never be separated. When the people are settled, we will go to her together, and I will tell her the truth about what happened between us, and she will understand. Dao Yan said affirmatively.
But what if she doesn't understand? Brother Yun doesn't have to take this risk for me, as long as Paya can be a little maid by your side and serve you forever, she will be satisfied. Paya said.
"If that's the case, then we'll find a place to live in seclusion and be together forever." Dao Yan Dao.
"Are you willing to spend this life with me?" Paya asked softly.
"How can it be dull with you." Dao Yan said with a light touch on the tip of Paya's slender and tall nose.
Paya said shy and happy: "Brother Yun's skills will definitely become a hero, even in the imperial court, you can get high-ranking officials, I am afraid that your future will be delayed." ”
"How about a hero? What about high-ranking officials? If they can give me another paya, I'll think about it. Dao Yan laughed.
"And what if you meet a better woman in the future?" Paya asked slowly.
"You are the only one in my heart, and no one can replace you." Dao Yan looked into Paya's eyes and said sincerely.
"Moon God, did you send Brother Yun to me? If so, I offer you my heartfelt praise and am willing to serve you for the rest of my life. Paya prayed in the bright moonlight as she had been when Dao Yan first met her, and the two of them looked at the fireflies flying in the sky and whispered love words.
