31. Reluctance
Li Xiang continued: "Just kidding, don't be angry! And before, in the brothel, I suddenly kissed you without your consent, just to save you, and I didn't mean to slight you. ”
I saw that Melusa smiled and lowered her head shyly.
Li Xiang thought to himself: Wow! Judging by her expression, she can't be in love with me! Weird! Wouldn't this be a kiss!
Orman came over and said, "I don't think it is advisable to stay here for long, but it is better to send this girl out of the city as soon as possible, and if Sidullah knows that Miss Sindnari has run away, he will not give up." ”
Li Xiang nodded and said, "That makes sense." Then he said to Melusa, "Your house is in Pannonia, and it is not very far from here. ”
"Are you coming with me?"
Li Xiang smiled and said, "I also want to go with you, but I still have some things to do in Rome for the time being." ”
Melusa looked disappointed.
"When I finish my business, I will definitely go over to you."
"You can't lie to me!" Marusa said as she held out the little finger of her right hand.
Li Xiang smiled and also stretched out his little finger to hook up with Rose Sarah.
"When you get to Shobina," said Melusa, "come directly to the palace to me." ”
"'Wangfu'? Hasn't Pannonia become a Roman province? And the Romans were sent to be governors, how could there be a king? ”
Oma said, "It's the king of Tibet." ”
"'The King of Fan'?"
"In order to be more conducive to the management of some foreign peoples, Augustus, after conquering some areas, would select public figures who could serve the people in the conquered areas to be the king of Tibet, and the king of Tibet would cooperate with the governor to do a good job of administration."
Li Xiang thought to himself: The so-called "Fan King" is like a prince in ancient China except for the emperor's relatives and relatives, Wu Sangui in the Qing Dynasty was named the "King of Pingxi", governing Yunnan and Guizhou provinces.
Uman went on to say, "In addition to Pannonia, Judea in the east also had a Tibetan king. ”
Li Xiang thought to himself: The king of Judea is not the "King Herod" mentioned in the Bible.
Li Xiang said to Mei Lusha: "You said that you live in the palace, then aren't you a princess?" ”
Mary Lusha smiled and said, "The princess is not me, I am just the princess's personal maidservant, and the princess and I are sisters to each other, and if you find her, you will find me." ”
Li Xiang smiled and said: "It's kind of interesting, I still think I won the jackpot, and I saved a beautiful woman, but I saved a beautiful princess." ”
"Aren't you disappointed now?"
"Don't be disappointed, your princess may not be as beautiful as you!"
Melusa smiled.
"No kidding, now I have to hurry up and get you out of the city and get you home safely." Li Xiang said to Orman again, "Big brother, can you lend me two guards?" ”
"Don't say it's two, both teams are fine!"
"Please lend me some more money, I didn't even have a copper plate with me when I went out today."
Orman took out the redemption ticket from his pocket.
Li Xiang took the redemption note, took a closer look, the amount was 50,000 Sesters, and the payer was Gauljah, and thought: Wow! 50,000 Sesters is equivalent to more than 800,000 yuan! How can this "toothpaste" be so generous?
Orman said: "Whoever dares to get along with your brother, that is, you can't get along with our Praetorian Guard, it is already polite to let that kid break a little money, you put away the 50,000 Sesters first, and then buy some deep-sea pearls when you go back, and then grind them into pearl powder, and you are shocked." ”
"You're not going to blackmail him, are you?"
"I'm a law enforcer, how can I do something illegal."
"Then I can't figure it out, looking at the long sharp-beaked monkey gills of Gaulje, a snarky and mean image, it will be a little more difficult for him to willingly take out 50,000 Sesters from his pocket!"
Orman smiled and said: "This is thanks to the brother you said before that I and the girl next to you are murderous Jiangyang thieves, I simply calculated and told him, now the doors in the prison are being overhauled, I am afraid it will be difficult to close a master like you, so Gao Lujie is ruthless, willing to pay for the prison door himself, and add money to increase the number of jailers, in addition, I have to ask a few masters to keep an eye on you, prevent you from escaping from prison, and come out to seek revenge from him, which is equivalent to spending money to eliminate disasters and buy peace." ”
Li Xiang laughed when he heard this, and said: "This kind of rat who deceives good and fears evil should let him put some 'blood'." ”
Orman said: "This Gauljah is a real dog with human power, relying on his master to dare to do whatever he wants in the city because of a few stinky money, never taking anyone in his eyes, and never teaching him a lesson, it is really a dog's guts, and no one is in his eyes." ”
"I was born to hate this kind of shameless villain who bullies people the most, and this time it's really happy!"
"The upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the master of Gaulje, Hitura, is not a good thing, monopolizing the salt market and making the price of salt high, which is tantamount to exploiting the people's wealth in disguise, just because there are patriarchs as the backstage."
"Don't worry, an unscrupulous profiteer like this, I will definitely find an opportunity to give him some 'color'."
Orman patted Li Xiang on the shoulder and said, "It is a matter of the well-being of the Roman people, and I believe that only you, the 'divine messenger', can do it." ”
Auman's words gave Li Xiang a very heavy sense of mission, and Li Xiang also hoped that he could really do something for the people through his current identity and status.
Li Xiang stuffed the redemption ticket into Auman's pocket and said, "You can take this money first!" ”
Orman said, "They are all their own brothers, why be so polite!" ”
"I'm borrowing some money from you to pay for the passage for the girl next to me, why do you need so much!"
"You said it earlier! Not to mention just going to Pannonia, but to go farther, as long as it is within the borders of Rome, there is no need to spend a copper plate. ”
"It doesn't cost anything?"
"If it's a 'business trip', you can travel with military horses, and you can sleep at the post station, of course, you don't have to spend your own money!"
Li Xiang smiled and said, "Oh! I see! Then there is Brother Lao, you can sign the pass on your behalf! ”
Orman smiled.
***
"Austro-Hungarian Baby" Melusa, with the support of Li Xiang, rode on a tall horse.
Mei Lusha reluctantly said, "Brother Li Xiang, you must remember to go to me!" ”
Li Xiang nodded and said, "I will definitely go, definitely." ”
"Then I'll go."
"Take care of yourself."
Melusa nodded.
With a feeling of attachment, Melusa waved her whip, and the horse galloped off into the distance.
The horses of the two guards followed.
Li Xiang looked at the shadow of the "baby" gradually moving away, and could only wish this beautiful and kind girl a safe journey! Peace all your life!
