Chapter 127: Subversion (2)
"Good!"
The cheers rang out, all of which were obscure mountain dialects.
Liu Ji raised his hands high, with the attitude of a victor, and looked at the surrounding mountain people provocatively, those young Qingshan people who were originally eager to try, after he fell down three good players in the village in a row, they all lost confidence, after all, they are not very old, but they have real skills.
If it is said that when talking to politicians should be about interests and dealing with these servant mountain people, Liu Ji directly used the most effective methods, drinking and fighting.
"Hmph, if Timo were here, I'd be able to knock him out."
The onlookers were men and women, and a young woman said something angrily, which immediately aroused the support of everyone around her.
It seems that this Timo should be the best player in the village, Liu Ji walked over with a smile, and first bowed to one of the old men.
"Big head, thank you for your hospitality."
"We Kazakhs have never been stingy with our friends." The old man nodded.
Liu Ji raised his head with a grin, looked at the young woman who spoke, and was glared back unceremoniously by the other party.
"It's a pity that your Timo isn't here, otherwise you can have a good fight, when will he come back?"
"I was captured by the Tibetans, where can I come back."
Hearing him talk about his sweetheart, the woman snorted.
"Syndicate, don't be rude."
The old man shouted and scolded on the side, but the woman could only stop talking, her face still unconvinced.
Liu Ji didn't care: "Syndicate, is it your name?" It means clouds on high mountains, not bad, not bad. ”
"You have to take care of it!" The woman gave him a blank look, turned and ran away.
"Alas, this is my youngest daughter, and it is rude, please don't take it to heart." The old man explained apologetically.
He is the head of the cottage, and these people who can be seen at a glance may not be so ordinary, and the person in front of him does not look like the Tubo people, nor like their companion Bolu people, nor like the Tianzhu people in the city, and he doesn't know where he comes from.
Such a person was able to speak to them in Ka, although the pronunciation was very strange, but there was no problem in the general communication, you know, even the locals in the city could not necessarily hear it, this is the reason for his curiosity, it is obvious that the father and daughter who came with him can only speak some simple Tibetan language.
In addition to curiosity, he also wanted to know why the other party came so rashly, was it just to have a fight? Devils believe it.
"Please forgive the curiosity of an alien friend, why was Teemo caught?"
Hearing him mention this name, the old man sighed: "The Tibetans killed two tax collectors, and asked our village to hand over ten people, and Timo himself admitted that he did it, so they captured him, and I heard that in a few days he would kill him, and hang his head on the city gate." ”
Liu Ji made a confused expression: "Didn't he kill him?" ”
"Of course not, those two tax collectors robbed the prey in our stockade, at that time, Timo and they were not convinced, but they just wanted to theorize, and I persuaded them to go back to the stockade and kill people, how dare you?"
"Is there no place to redress grievances? Don't the officials of the city care about the king? ”
"People like us, life is cheaper than dogs, who cares? The Tibetan people are the kings here. ”
The old man's words were recognized by everyone, and on their faces, Liu Ji only saw unwillingness, and even little anger, and things could not be done overnight.
"To tell you the truth, my master is from the west, he is a well-known local businessman, and he came here this time to buy some leather goods, preferably more special, such as white tigers and the like." Liu Ji said his intention, this reason is very natural, the old man's expression is no longer guarded.
They originally made a living from this, but the timing was a little unfortunate.
"Alas, if only you had come a day earlier, now most of the stocks in the stockade have been robbed, and the rest are ordinary goods, which may not be eye-catching."
"It doesn't matter, it's not a trip for nothing to meet friends, if it's convenient for the head, you can introduce some familiar villages, and we also want to walk more."
In this regard, the old man agreed very happily, so that the only doubt was gone, and people were simply here to collect mountain goods, and a powerful businessman was also worthy of their friendship.
So, under his leadership, Liu Ji and the father and daughter of the three walked all over the nearby cottages, the people in this area are relatively single, that is, the famous Langerkha people in later generations, at this time they were called the Ka people, only a few decades later than the rulers in the city, of course, it has not reached the height of later generations, but there are faint some rudiments.
For example, the kind of scimitar, which was actually used for mowing grass in the earliest days, is a bit like the sickle of the Han people, the latter is meniscus-shaped, and the former is semi-curved, and the principle is the same, labor-saving.
At present, in the waists of these mountain people, Liu Ji saw the kind of scimitar called "dog leg", the smelting technology of the Tianzhu people is still good, and the famous Damascus steel first came out there, because it uses the iron ore produced in Uz, also known as "Uz steel".
Of course, the yield of this steel is not high, and even in this time and space, it is an extremely precious raw material, and it is not yet luxurious enough to be used to make agricultural tools.
Contacting these cottages, Liu Ji put the location of the transaction in the city, and the time was three days later, so that they could prepare the goods, which was the usual way of trading, so no one raised objections, let alone thought of going anywhere else.
Two days had passed since he returned to the original village, and sure enough, bad news came from the city that the Tibetans were going to publicly execute Timo in the central square of Comptir as punishment for his actions, and the time was tomorrow.
When the news came, the people in the village fell into sadness, and the younger generation of mountain people were still a little indignant.
"He lost his life for all of our talents, and if you act impulsively, Teemo will die in vain." The old man earnestly advised and threatened, and it was not easy to stop the fluctuation of people's hearts.
But this is not what Liu Ji wanted, when a few of them left, he saw that there seemed to be a figure in the woods, his heart moved, and he walked over to take a look, and he really knew the young woman who was arguing before.
"You want to go into the city to save people?" Without thinking about it, he knew what these people were going to do, Liu Ji ignored their vigilant gaze and asked straight to the point.
"What's the matter, you are not allowed to tell Grandpa." The woman glared at him angrily.
Liu Ji couldn't cry or laugh a little, and she didn't know if this woman really had a sixth sense, otherwise how could she always look at herself unpleasantly?
"It's just a few of you, it's almost as good as sending you to death."
"If you die, you will die, for the sake of Temo, we are not afraid." The woman's words resonated with some young people, two of whom had fought with him before, and were considered good players in the village.
"Since you are not afraid of death, then it is easy to say, do you want to rescue him?"
Liu Ji smiled harmlessly.
