Chapter 43: The Gentleman's Country

Xinyue couldn't refute Duo Jiugong's thoughts, otherwise what use would the words she said to Duo Jiugong be?

The only thing I can do at this moment is to pray for Tang Ao, pray that Tang Ao will not have an accident, Tang Ao is definitely the reincarnation of the mirror spirit, and he should not be swallowed by the mirror po, right?

Tang Ao was caught off guard and was thrown into Jingpo Lake by Duo Jiugong, and his body was instantly imprisoned, but fortunately, he kept silently thinking about the Junzi Kingdom in his heart.

What shocked Tang Ao was that a picture really appeared in his mind, feeling like a dream before, confused and confused.

"I want to go to the country of gentlemen, I want to see my true heart......" Tang Ao kept in mind the words of Duo Jiugong, and the chaotic feeling gradually faded away, and then he saw countless silver points of light bursting out from his body, and his consciousness became more and more sober.

"Where is this? Gentleman's Country? Tang Ao rubbed his slightly swollen temples, looked at the strange and strange environment around him in surprise, and his eyes gradually became dull.

Tang Ao stepped on the grass under his feet, these grasses that resembled bamboo leaves were slowly withering at a speed visible to the naked eye, Tang Ao looked thoughtfully at the sun gradually sinking westward, and guessed in his heart that after the sun completely set, these grasses on the ground would also completely wither and die!

Tang Ao couldn't be sure if this was the Gentleman's Country, and the smoke rising in front of him made Tang Ao speed up his pace, ready to find someone to ask for directions.

A tiger roar came, Tang Ao stopped his footsteps and was on guard, his right arm flashed, and he saw a colorful tiger walking out of the jungle slowly, and there was more than one.

Behind the two tigers, a young man's figure was revealed, wearing a royal blue robe, with a sword hanging from his waist, his face was handsome, and his expression was radiant.

"Brother, are you frightened? I apologized to my brother in this room, and I looked at my brother's dress, not the people of the gentleman's country, right? Before the young man spoke, he was polite and bowed to Tang Ao as he spoke.

Tang Ao breathed a sigh of relief, the other party was so polite, but it made Tang Ao feel that the guard just now was a bit rude, and immediately said politely: "It's okay, in Xia Tang Ao, he is indeed not a child of the Junzi Country, is this the Junzi Country?" ”

"What Brother Tai said is good, the front is the Gucheng of the Junzi Country, and the Gucheng is the second largest city in the Junzi Country, and the Brother Tai is here to admire it?" Seeing Tang Ao nodding, the young man became more and more enthusiastic and said: "In the small group of Xiayue, it is a good thing to meet Brother Tang today, it is really a good thing for three lives, if Brother Tang has nothing urgent, he might as well go to Gucheng for a visit, and he is willing to be a guide for Brother Tang." ”

Tang Ao's purpose in coming to the Junzi Kingdom was to see his heart clearly and calm down the turbulent state of mind, since Yue Xiaoqun was so gracious, how could Tang Ao refuse, and said: "I don't dare to ask for ears." ”

Yue Xiaoqun drank two fierce tigers, the two fierce tigers were like horses prostrate on the ground, Tang Ao was surprised to see Yue Xiaoqun sitting on the back of the tiger, under Yue Xiaoqun's repeated requests, Tang Ao sat on the back of the tiger with a little trepidation.

Tang Ao couldn't help but think of that sentence in his heart, it was difficult to ride a tiger, but he didn't expect that he would really have a day to ride on the back of a tiger, this gentleman's country can tame a tiger like a horse to ride, and the tiger is obedient and obedient, it's really rare!

Riding a tiger, Tang Ao and Yue Xiaoqun soon came to the outside of Gucheng City, at this time the sun was setting, Tang Ao was waiting to line up to enter the city, and saw that the blades of grass near the city wall were indeed withered, confirming his previous guess.

Yue Xiaoqun saw Tang Ao looking at the withered grass, and explained with a smile: "Brother Tang doesn't know, this kind of grass is called smoked grass, it lives and dies day by day, and it only has a lifespan of one day, but the cycle repeats, and after the sun rises tomorrow, it will be prosperous again." ”

Tang Ao was surprised again and again, and before he could sigh a word or two, there was a quarrel at the city gate, Tang Ao thought that there was a dispute, and walked forward to know that the reason for the dispute was to make the road.

The people who entered the city wanted to let the people who went out of the city go first, but the people who went out of the city let the people who entered the city go first, and pushed each other, resulting in the impassability at the city gate.

Tang Ao sighed: "Such a state of etiquette, the country of gentlemen should be prosperous. ”

Yue Xiaoqun high-fived and praised: "Brother Tang also thinks that my gentleman's country is a country of etiquette and music?" Wonderful, wonderful! ”

Tang Ao soon regretted it, because it was too delayed to enter and exit the city gate with courtesy, and by the time he and Yue Xiaoqun walked into the city gate, it was already the second half of the night.

At this hour, although Tang Ao was hungry, he was embarrassed to speak, and lived in the guest room of Yue's house under Yue Xiaoqun's arrangement.

The night is not quiet, occasionally you can hear the low whistling of the tiger, Tang Ao sat cross-legged on the bed and was preoccupied, Duo Jiugong let him see his heart, but Tang Ao didn't know what to do, and what was his heart?

The Junzi Country is really a good place, if the Tang Dynasty is like the Junzi Country everywhere, wouldn't it be a prosperous country?

Tang Ao rested for a while, and before he was tired, the rising sun had already risen in the east, and Yue Xiaoqun's greeting came from outside the door.

"Brother Tang, how did you rest last night? You must have been hungry for a long time, right? Yue Xiaoqun bowed to the door, only to see the two servants and maids returning the salute while placing breakfast on the table.

Tang Ao said that it was okay, but when he saw that Yue Xiaoqun's face was a little strange, and the two servants and maids were also surprised, Tang Ao immediately came back to his senses and bowed his hand to the two servants and maids, and then they were all happy.

Breakfast is a cake made of smoked Chinese grass and noodles, a fresh soup made of smoked Chinese grass roots, Tang Ao eats the soup cake, and feels that the taste is acceptable, but it is a little bland.

Going out and still riding a tiger, Tang Ao did not appreciate the scenery of the solid city of the Junzi Kingdom yesterday, and today I look at it, it turns out that the people of the Junzi Country have the habit of raising fierce beasts.

Yue's small group of fierce tigers is raised, and the others are not lions or cheetahs, and even birds, and without exception, these fierce beasts are extremely docile in temperament, and they seem to uphold the humble and polite personality of a gentleman.

Yue Xiaoqun and Tang Ao came to the market in Gucheng, and Tang Ao found that it was not as noisy as the east and west markets of Chang'an City, even if the business was booming, it also gave people a sense of calmness.

"Guest officer, how can my load of firewood be worth a hundred spirit stones? Fifty low-grade spirit stones, as long as fifty. ”

"How can you do it, uncle, you get up early and go to the mountains to chop firewood, how can there be no dew, this hard work is compassionate, this firewood, I will give you one hundred and twenty lower grade spirit stones!"

"Objectively, is this the torture of the old body? Thirty pieces. ”

"One hundred and fifty pieces."

"Ten pieces."

"Two hundred."

Tang Ao looked interesting, the old man who sold firewood was faulty with his firewood everywhere and lowered the price as much as possible, but the people who bought firewood kept raising the price.

When the person who bought firewood raised the price to two hundred low-grade spirit stones, the old man who sold firewood threw the flat pole on the ground and said excitedly: "Objectively, how can my firewood be worth two hundred spirit stones, this firewood, I don't want a spirit stone, I will give it to the guest officer for nothing." ”

How did this make ...... "When the person who bought firewood was about to pay the spirit stone, the old man didn't even want a flat burden, and in a blink of an eye he blended into the endless stream of pedestrians.

The people around who watched the excitement praised the old man and the people who bought firewood, and they all felt that they were adhering to the way of a gentleman, and the high wind and bright festival were worth learning from them.

Tang Ao witnessed the whole buying and selling process, and always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.

The old man who sold firewood thought that the firewood was too wet to be worth the high price, and finally gave it away in shame, and both sides seemed to be right.

When Tang Ao was a little puzzled, he saw several similar transactions one after another, the prices given by the buyers were getting higher and higher, and the sellers' offers were getting lower and lower, and finally the scenes of giving away for nothing abounded.

When the market was about to disperse, Tang Ao met the old man who sold firewood again, the old man was buying fish, a few small fish the size of a palm, and the old man gave a high price of five hundred spirit stones.

When the old man raised the price to a thousand low-grade spirit stones, the fish seller angrily gave the fish to the old man, and counted the old man down, feeling that his fish was worth a thousand spirit stones, which was simply an insult to him.

Tang Ao finally sensed that something was wrong, and when he walked around the entire market, it seemed that no one had paid the spirit stone!

At first, the old man's Chai He gave it away, and when the market was about to disperse, the old man also got a few fish for nothing, and Tang Ao didn't see the difference between the spirit stone of the Junzi Kingdom and the copper coin of the Tang Dynasty!

From beginning to end, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it, but Tang Ao felt a little panicked in his heart, looked at Yue Xiaoqun beside him, and swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth.

Yue Xiaoqun looked at Tang Ao with a smile, and seemed to be proud of what he had seen and heard in the bazaar: "Everyone in my gentleman's country is like a gentleman, and there is no trace of copper odor, what does Brother Tang think?" ”

Tang Ao finally couldn't hold back, and arched his hand: "Brother Yue, everyone is a gentleman, the world is the same, it is a peaceful and prosperous scene, but ...... But Tang always felt awkward. ”

Yue Xiaoqun laughed: "Brother Tang is an outsider after all, and the time he has been in the Junzi Country is still short, as long as Brother Tang lives here for a while, he will understand." ”

Tang Ao was noncommittal, Duo Jiu Gong said that let him see his true heart in the Junzi Country and resolve the demons in his heart, there must be a reason for the Da Jiu Gong, maybe it is really as Yue Xiaoqun said, his time in the Junzi Country is too short, and he can't see anything!

"Brother Tang, since you have come to the country of gentlemen, you have to follow the customs, why don't I accompany Brother Tang to buy a beast mount, how about it?"

Tang Ao listened, his heart pounded, although the tiger under the seat is good, but after all, it is not his, and if you choose a mount, the tiger is not Tang Ao's favorite thing, but I don't know how much it costs to buy a beast mount? It's not a load of firewood and a few fish, it won't be given in vain, right?

Tang Ao followed Yue Xiaoqun with anticipation to a shop called Slave Beast Zhai, Tang Ao subconsciously touched a few gold leaves in his arms, and couldn't help but feel a little lacking, choose a favorite beast as a mount, does the gold leaf work?

"This ...... What is it? Tang Ao walked into the slave beast Zhai and saw something head-on, he couldn't help but feel cold in his hands and feet, and he couldn't say anything.
