Chapter 1700: Rubber and Rubber (II)
I have to say that without knowing whether he will die tomorrow, this pessimistic mood infects everyone in the prison.
The black fat man also began to be a little uncertain about his judgment, wondering if those Tang generals had any special hobbies, such as eating fatty meat!
In fact, people are like this, when they are desperate, they will always be cranky, and the more cranky they are, the more afraid they become, and they are always suspicious of everything.
So one day, when everyone was expelled from the prison, the fat black man's legs began to tremble, thinking about what kind of terrible criminal law he would die under it.
But what is surprising is that the guards who greet them outside the prison are not snowy steel knives, but shiny double-frame carriages.
This, what's going on? The situation outside the prison made everyone stunned, and they talked about it one by one.
You must know that even when Tianzhu was not conquered by the Tang Dynasty, this kind of carriage belonged to the exclusive domain of the aristocracy, and it did not match their so-called 'celebrities' at all.
They are just fake 'celebrities' who are a little famous in the fields of literature, science and technology, and academia, and they are not the same as those real 'celebrities' of the noble people who are high up.
At this moment, a white-bearded old man came out of the Tang people, came to them, clenched his fists and said, "Everyone, I have been neglecting these days. ”
"No, it's okay, this, this gentleman, can you tell us why you arrested us." Following the old man's example, a bold Tianzhu man returned the salute, and then asked boldly.
Even if you want to die, you have to die to understand, this is the common idea of almost all the Tianzhu people who have been caught, seeing that someone asked, those who were still talking to each other also stopped, and all looked at the old man, waiting for him to answer.
"Oh, this matter is actually a bit unpleasant to you, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is thirsty for talent, and specially ordered us to invite all of you, so we have no choice but to make this decision and let you bend here for a few days."
The old man's answer made everyone a little speechless, and he said in his heart that this is a bending, and it is clearly a frame to cut off the head.
But I wanted to think about it, but still no one dared to say it, looking at the old man who was still unsatisfied, they all closed their mouths tightly, waiting for him to continue.
The old man was very satisfied with everyone's performance of not interjecting, nodded with a smile, and then continued: "Right now, we have invited all the people that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince needs, and now we will send you to see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"What, what? Has His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Tianzhu? As soon as the old man's words fell, someone exclaimed.
"No, no, no, you are wrong, there is no Tianzhu now, this is already the land of the Tang Dynasty, so the prince is the prince There is no difference between your country and the country, this time the old man can forgive you for being locked up for too long and not understanding the outside world, but if there is a next time...... Chop! In the end, the old man's face became extremely serious, and everyone below was silent.
It was only at this time that everyone realized that Tianzhu had really perished, and everything before had become history.
And the old man didn't seem to be in the mood to talk any further, so he hastily arranged and let the people start arranging to board the car, four people in a carriage, and when they all got on the car, they only listened to a shout, and the convoy immediately moved.
……
One day, two days, month after month, the convoy first left Qunu City, then left the original Tianzhu, and then entered the Western Regions and left the Western Regions, until nearly half a year later, Chang'an City was in sight.
The black fat man looked at Chang'an City, which was many times larger than Qunu City, through the car window, and was full of confusion about his future.
More than half a year ago, he was still studying that strange tree in the small village, and more than half a year later, he came to the legendary Tang Dynasty, and heard that there will be an opportunity to meet the prince soon.
This world is so crazy, even if the black fat man's imagination is rich, he would never have thought that he would be able to come to Datang one day, let alone be received by the prince. You must know that in Tianzhu, he is rarely seen even in front of ordinary nobles once, let alone the future ruler of the country.
To make a long story short, these people who came to Datang from the other side of the distant continent were all arranged into the former Hibiscus Garden, except that they couldn't go out, there was no restriction on their activities, and except that some people were taken out every day and never came back, everything else was fine.
And while everyone was waiting anxiously, the black fat man was finally summoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on a sunny morning, and with an inexplicable excitement, he was taken to the East Palace.
Don't blame the black fat man for having no ambitions, and he didn't hold grudges when the country was destroyed, you must know that the broken place of Tianzhu was a broken settlement at that time, and the major forces sang and I appeared, making it difficult for the people at that time to have a sense of belonging.
For them, the change of rulers of the country is just a change of people who collect taxes, and they still have to live the same life, and there is no fundamental difference between the king of the sun and the Li family of the Tang Dynasty who rules them.
……
Nothing along the way, followed a gorgeously dressed fat man who didn't know whether it was a man or a woman into the East Palace, the black fat man saw the legendary omniscient prince, and after carefully stepping forward to give a salute, he only heard Li Chengqian ask: "I heard that you are studying a tree sap, there is such a thing, right?" ”
"Uh, yes, yes." The black fat man nodded busily.
"What does that tree look like, draw it." The sound fell, and someone had already handed over the pen and paper.
No way, let's draw.
With an unfamiliar pen, the black fat man tried to recall, and then little by little drew something that even he didn't know what it was.
However, after Li Chengqian took the painting, his eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration, and he stared at the black fat man and asked, "Do you have a lot of such trees?" ”
"No, I also happened to find a few trees in a village, and I thought that the trees would actually bleed white blood, so I became curious to study them." The black fat man replied truthfully.
"And would you plant such a tree?" Li Chengqian continued to ask.
"This ......" The black fat man hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "Respected Highness, the villain doesn't dare to lie, this villain can't plant." ”
"Hmm!" Li Chengqian looked at the black fat man, thought for a while and said: "You are very honest, this is your merit, so I decided to reward you and give you a chance to be an official, if you can cultivate the seedlings of this kind of tree, I can even give you a knighthood." ”
