"Yiyue, come down, the horse team is betting a few people over, hurry up and take a look."

When Aitenggana heard that the white-faced Tang General was escorting someone over, she couldn't help but open the curtain in front of the car curiously. When I looked out, I was stunned by what I saw. The evening breeze of late autumn drives the sparkling blue waves, and the endless water surface fills the heavens and the earth.

"This is Yibohai, you see, the lake in the east is still sparkling, but the west is already covered with thin ice, as the legend goes, the east is salty and the west is light," looking at Aitenggena's surprised expression, Wang Fei explained, and at the same time secretly thought in his heart: "Yibohai is Lake Balkhash, and the limit of the Qing Dynasty's control over the Western Regions is Lake Balkhash." But in the Tang Dynasty, a large area of land west of Lake Balkhash is still under the control of the Anxi Protectorate. ”

Standing on the carriage, Ayitengna asked, "Little Langjun, why is the lake in the east salty?" Although she always screamed in her heart, she was still very attentive when she spoke.

Wang Fei originally wanted to talk about the knowledge and concepts of inland rivers and evaporation, but suddenly felt that this was too boring, so he pretended to be very serious and said: "Probably everyone in the world has shed tears." ”

"Is that so?" Ayitengna didn't seem to believe it, and she didn't dwell on the topic, but asked, "Xiao Langjun, how far have we come?" ”

"We left Broken Leaves, walked more than 1,000 miles to the north, arrived at Yibohai, and then turned east, crossed the Alashan Pass, and walked more than 800 miles, and we arrived at Tingzhou, where the Beiting Protectorate is located." Wang Fei was very fond of history and geography in his previous life, and he chased and read a lot of related knowledge posts on the Internet, which can be said to be at his fingertips.

"It's so far away, it's hard to go back to Broken Leaf in the future!" Ayitengna listened to Wang Fei's introduction, and her heart dimmed again.

"Yi Yue, you see, are the few people in the horse caravan being sedgie merchants?"

"Sogdian merchants?" Wang Fei's somewhat exaggerated inquiry cut off Aitenggna's sorrow. "Wearing a pointed hat, a well-cut haircut, narrow sleeves, and a jeweled belt, he was definitely Sogdian. The above words were uttered by Khudulu when he mocked the Sogdians. ”

Seeing that Ayitengna's words were about to go around to sad things, Wang Fei hurriedly made a very tempting suggestion, "The horse team is escorting the Sogdians to see my father, let's go and see it too." Come, I'll help you down."

"Okay!" Aitengna took Wang Fei's hand and jumped out of the carriage. She didn't see it, Wang Yong stood behind the carriage and muttered: "This little lady is about to become Xiaolangjun's childhood sweetheart......"

Aitengna's tender hand reminded Wang Fei of Princess Anice, who rode with him that night, and the faint fragrance made Wang Fei suddenly feel a little melancholy. Then, once again, he remembered the light rain. "In the original world, I'm gone, Xiaoyu should also get new happiness. What I need to do now is to try to survive in this Datang. The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and it is dusk before darkness. ”

"Xiao Langjun, let's go over quickly." Aitengna's hand did not withdraw from Wang Fei's hand, but pulled him forward in a hurry.

"Well, let's run over there." Wang Fei pulled Ayi Tenggena and ran quickly. While running, a line from "Chongqing Forest" appeared in Wang Fei's mind: "Running can evaporate the water in my body, and make me less prone to tears." ”

Wang Fei and Ayitengna ran out of breath to a place not far from the Sogdians, just in time to hear a short and fat Sogdian who was in a hurry to defend himself in Tang dialect: "Dashuai, they are all good merchants of the Cao State, and now they are going to Chang'an to sell the gold and silver jewelry of the Great Qin State, and they accidentally encountered the wind and sand on the way, so they collided with the national army, but they are not spies!" ”

"Do you have a certificate?" Du Liulang asked sharply.

"Yes, yes," Humpty Dumpty hurriedly took out a piece of hemp paper from his arms and carefully handed it to Du Liulang, "This is the pass." ”

Du Liulang took it and looked at it carefully, and said to Wang Zhengjian in a low voice: "Dashuai, it's true, and the seal of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate a few days ago." On closer inspection, there is no doubt that these men were Sogdian merchants. It's just that there is something wrong with this man's words. ”

"What's the problem?" Wang Zhengjian asked lightly, but his eyes glanced at Wang Fei and Ayi Tenggena not far away.

"Marshal, during the march, I have been paying attention to the weather along the way. A certain dare to be sure that in the past ten days, there has been no wind and sand around Yibohai. "It doesn't matter, the Sogdians are good at business, so naturally they can't tell the truth. A certain amount of caution is sufficient. ”

Du Liulang thought for a moment, and was about to return Humpty Dumpty. "When a large army marches, it is most taboo for unknown people to follow. If you violate my taboo, you should be detained. But Nian Ru and others are all good people in the lower country, and the mistakes of Terrao and others are not an example. ”

Humpty Dumpty was relieved, grabbed the place, nodded again and again, and was taken away by Ma Lan after a thanksgiving.

Wang Zheng did not look at the Sogdians who were grateful for their kindness, but looked at Wang Fei, who was whispering to Ayitengna, and shouted: "Fei'er, come here." ”

"Meet my father." Wang Fei bowed to the ground, and Aitengana also saluted behind Wang Fei.

"Get up. What were you talking about? ”

"My lord, so-and-so is telling Yi Yue that this Sogdian is lying."

"Oh, how do you know?" Wang Zhengjian was slightly surprised, glanced at Du Liulang, and found that he was also surprised.

"The Sogdian, though he pretended to be very polite, touched his chin with his right hand four or five times and shook his right leg several times when he spoke, suggesting that he was nervous from lying."

"Xiao Langjun, I have also noticed what you said, but why do you say that these actions show that the Sogdians are lying?"

"Oh, I learned this from the American drama "Lietome", I forgot that the Tang Dynasty hadn't popularized this knowledge, what should I do?" Wang Fei suddenly realized that he had made a small mistake. I had an idea in my heart, so I simply took the opportunity to pretend to it.

"My lord, Judge Du, after I woke up in a coma, I felt as if I knew a lot more things, and what I just said naturally appeared in my heart."

"What? You said that you know a lot more things after you are unconscious, why didn't you tell so-and-so earlier. Wang Zhengjian asked anxiously.

"Father, I was not sure at first, and many things were vague, and when I saw the small movements of the Sogdians, I naturally remembered in my heart some opinions about judging lies."

"Fei'er, I asked you, who is the king of Bohai County today?"

"Da Chin Mao."

"What about the current King of Nanzhao?"

"Ge Luofeng."

"How many miles are there in Chang'an?"

"110."

Wang Zhengjian asked a few questions that had nothing to do with Beiting and Anxi and didn't think he had taught Wang Fei, and Wang Fei answered them after a little thought. Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Du Liulang thought for a while and said to Wang Zhengjian: "Dashuai, let a certain test Xiaolangjun be tested." Wang Zhengjian nodded, "Liulang is well-read and well-informed, and it is just right for you to take the school entrance examination." ”

"Xiao Lang-kun, do you know Ryukyu?"

"Yes. It is across the sea from Jiangnan East Province and is a large island. ”

"Today there are people who buy things together, and each of them gives eight denarii, and the surplus is three denarii; People pay seven dollars, less than four dollars, ask the number of people, what are the prices? ”

"A total of ......" Wang Fei calculated with a binary equation in his heart, and was about to answer. I heard Ayitengna behind her give a crisp answer: "A total of 7 people, worth 53 yuan." ”

"Xiao Langjun, is the little lady right?"

"Yes." Wang Fei also calculated this answer.

"How did the little lady know the answer?" Du Liulang's face was like a spring breeze, and he asked Aitengna with a chuckle. Du Liulang has been teaching Ayi Tenggena to learn Tang dialect, and he likes this smart little lady very much.

"Master, this is the original title of "Nine Chapters", I have studied it before." Aitengna has special respect for Du Liulang.

"You actually studied "Nine Chapters"? The Tang Dynasty is weightlifting scriptures and words, and the way of light arithmetic. Most of the students and scholars in Zhuzhou did not bother to study the "Nine Chapters", and as far as a certain person knows, although Xiao Langjun has read the "Book of Songs" and "Analects", he has never studied the "Nine Chapters". Unexpectedly, the little lady is proficient in this. Du Liulang was surprised and delighted, as if he had found a pearl.

"Master, my Father...... My father said that a shepherd should be able to count his flock, and a king should be able to count his soldiers. My brother and I have been studying arithmetic since we were young. ”

"Da Shuai, Yiyue Xiao Niangzi is born smart, Xiao Langjun is now born to know, I hope that after arriving in Tingzhou, I will continue to teach Xiao Langjun and Xiao Niangzi, and I hope that Da Shuai will agree." Du Liulang solemnly bowed to Wang Zhengjian. When he was in Tingzhou, Wang Fei had his own master, and Du Liulang only recently began to teach Wang Fei. Wang Zhengjian had no choice but to bring Wang Fei to Broken Leaves, and it was impossible to force Mr. Teaching to come to the battlefield.

"Liulang is rich in five cars, and he has intended to ask Liulang to teach Xi'er. It's just that Rokuro is busy with everything, so he doesn't dare to bother. As for the little lady Yiyue, although she has a special background, she is talented, and if she learns Liulang's skills, she may also help Datang and Xia'er. Today, you have something to invite, how dare you disobey! ”

"Father, I have a request." When Wang Fei heard what Wang Zhengjian said, "It will help Fei'er", he couldn't help but blush, and quickly interjected to interrupt his father's reverie, "I hope that adults will not publicize the changes after I fell into a coma." ”

"Tell me your reasoning." Hearing Wang Fei's request, Wang Zhengjian calmed down.

"There are two reasons for such a request. First, the son does not speak of strangeness, force, chaos, and God. After a sudden change, the reason is incomprehensible, if it reaches the ears of people all over the world, I am afraid that there will be many incidents. The second is that I don't know everything, but I have a little more insight for no reason, and I don't know how much of these insights, and I can't take the initiative to say it, only when things happen. If there is a lot of uproar, it will be slandered by others, and it will only increase laughter. ”

"It is very good that you have such knowledge." Wang Zhengjian was relieved in his heart, "You have gained insight through the danger of the horse, and I don't know if it is your blessing or woe." Now I know that I can't make it public, so I feel very comforted. Those who have seen it are also powerful, and although they are strong, they may not be blessings; Nature, the way to exert force, know what to advance and retreat, in order to avoid disaster. Today, I have increased my knowledge, reason, and refinement, so that I have nothing to be ashamed of. ”

Wang Fei just wanted to reveal a little bit of his own changes and pave the way for some changes in his actions in the future, but after listening to Wang Zhengjian's words, he also felt deeply in his heart that in this lonely time and space, he actually got such a strong father's love, and his heart was full of incomparable happiness.

The night grew darker. The only people who know about Wang Fei's changes are Wang Zhengjian, Du Liulang and Ayi Tenggena. Wang Zhengjian and Du Liulang love Wang Fei very much, so naturally they will not spread the news about it. Somehow, Wang Fei felt that Meng Yiyue, a little lady, would not publicize this matter, which was probably a kind of trust in the dark.

In the vast night, after the short and fat Sogdian merchant left the Tang army camp, he listened to the sound of the water and said to himself: "After looking for a long time, where is this heavenly horse hidden?" ”

Somewhere by the lake, invisible to the Sogdian merchants, countless eerie green eyes shone horribly in the autumn wind.
