Chapter 755: Parchment
Liu Xin wanted Liya to come up with her own plan to turn around and remove the mud and finally succeeded, but she felt a little unhappy, and couldn't help but say: "You have a good rest, I will wait for you for two days." After healing from the injury in two days, I will take you to Dawan with me. ”
According to Liu Xin's estimate, within two days, the envoys sent to Dawan and Kangju should also return. At that time, if Liya's injury is not good, Liu Xin will not wait for her any longer.
Liya didn't believe that Liu Xin would have such a good heart, and said suspiciously: "Really? ”
Liu Xin nodded seriously and said, "I am a golden mouth, how can it be false." When the time comes, I will surprise you. Lie down and I'll send you some medicine. ”
The army has a high-grade gold medicine for the treatment of bruises, and Liu Xin didn't expect her to be so seriously injured yesterday, so she didn't send it over, and let Liya use her own medicine for treatment. However, it is also a loss to have those two gladiators there. Otherwise, even if there is a good medicine, Liya is injured in that position, and there is no convenient person to apply it to her.
Seeing that Liya was so badly injured and she didn't bring her maid by her side, Liu Xin wanted Sister Cleya to stay and take care of her. But the two sisters discussed for a while, but insisted on letting one person follow Liu Xin. Liu Xin didn't insist any longer, so he let Maria stay, and he took Clea and a few guards into Wuji City.
Because of the time difference, the sun rose later in the Western Regions, and the sky was just bright, and the city was already full of people. Many of the shops were already open, perhaps they didn't close all night. There are also many itinerant vendors on both sides of the street, and the cries of hawkers come and go.
Liu Xin changed into civilian clothes. The Han Dynasty advocates red and black, and the imperial robe is also dominated by these two colors, but Liu Xin prefers light-colored clothes, especially in hot places like the Western Regions, wearing a white robe, the whole person will look much more refreshing.
Now, Liu Xin is wearing a white robe and shaking a folding fan in his hand. The folding fan appeared with the invention of Xiang paper, which of course was indispensable to Liu Xin's credit, and soon became the favorite of literati. Liu Xin is not a vassal and elegant, but it will be very hot during the day in the Western Regions, and the folding fan in his hand is a sharp weapon to repel mosquitoes and cool down.
Cleya also changed into women's clothes, with long golden hair, a gorgeous red dress, a delicate face and a devilish figure, walking on the streets of Wujicheng, which immediately attracted the attention of many men. However, when they saw the dozen or so big men in green clothes and small hats behind her, everyone walked away with interest.
These house slaves in green clothes and small hats are naturally pretended to be by the Flying Tiger guards, not only are they five big and three thick, but more importantly, the murderous aura exuded by their bodies makes people can't help but retreat. However, there are also people in this world who are not long-eyed, and a lean young man with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes insists on squeezing through them.
Although the task of the Flying Tiger guards was to protect Liu Xin's safety, Liu Xin had an order not to interfere with the normal life of the people, so it was impossible for them to block all the roads. When the young man squeezed over, a guard deliberately hit him hard, and after a while, he knew that this person's martial arts were ordinary, so he didn't take him to heart. Besides, these guards have always followed Liu Xin's side, and they all know that no matter how beautiful Cleya is, she is just a slave girl of Daqin, and her status is low, even if someone wants to rub oil, it is not a big deal, so they did not stop the young man.
The boy was next to Cleya, as if his feet had slipped and he was unsteady on his feet, and he fell on top of her. Clea is a gladiator, and her long-term and arduous training and the dangers everywhere have made her develop the habit of being vigilant at all times, which is why the two sisters are very confident that they can protect Liu Xin.
Seeing the young man turn upside down, Clea instead of avoiding it, she stepped forward and blocked Liu Xin behind her. Unexpectedly, the young man did not make any dangerous movements, and had already stood up on his own, only the corner of his clothes rubbed lightly on Cleya's body. While Clea was stunned, the young man dusted off his clothes and walked on.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed, Liu Xin had already stopped in front of the young man, stretched out his left hand in front of him, and shouted in a deep voice: "Bring it!" ”
The young man's face was dazed, and he asked, "What did you say?" ”
Seeing this, the three guards rushed forward, and the finished font surrounded Liu Xin and the young man in the middle. Although he did not use the knife, the young man's martial arts were mediocre, and there was no possibility of escape. The young man did not intend to run away, but showed a look of fear on his face, and asked tremblingly, "You, what are you going to do?" ”
There were already people coming and going, and seeing this scene, many people stopped to watch, and some people who were afraid of things hurriedly hid away.
Liu Xin didn't speak, the sleeve of his left robe shook, and he brushed it from the young man's chest, and there was already a small burden in his hand. Liu Xin threw the burden to Cleya casually and said, "Let's see, is there anything of yours in it?" ”
Clea nodded, quickly looked for the burden, suddenly "oops" exclaimed, took out a golden medallion from the baggage, and then touched her waist, her face was already full of anger, and she rushed forward and raised her hand to slap the young man. Halfway through the fan, Cleya's hand froze, and a pair of big hands firmly held her wrist, and it was Liu Xin who held Cleya.
When the boy squeezed in this direction, his eyes were fixed on Cleya's waist. If you covet Cleya's beauty and want to rub a few more oils while there are people, your eyes will definitely be staring at her face, breasts or fat buttocks, and it is a little abnormal to keep staring at her waist. Liu Xin just glanced at him casually and concluded that he was a thief. However, as long as he doesn't make a move, Liu Xin doesn't bother to care about him.
Liu Xin did not do this because he wanted to pay attention to evidence and grasp the current situation, this society does not need any evidence at all. said that this young man was originally a thief, even if he was not a thief, Liu Xin wanted to arrest him. But Liu Xin knows that Wuji City is almost full of wealth, which will naturally attract the attention of many thieves, including thieves and thieves. These thieves can never be caught, and if anyone accidentally runs into them, he will be considered unlucky.
It's a pity that the young man still can't help it. However, for the sake of his former "peers", Liu Xin still didn't want to embarrass him too much, but he didn't plan to let him go like this. Because he had already found that there were quite a few people in the crowd of onlookers with fierce eyes, these people must be the accomplices of this young man, if it weren't for Liu Xin, they were also crowded, I am afraid that they would have started to rob them a long time ago.
Once these thieves form a gang and form a force, the harm to the local community will be much more serious than that of the gang of running singles, and the good situation in Wujicheng cannot be ruined in the hands of these people. Wujicheng is different from ordinary prefectures and counties, regardless of the size of the city, it is actually just a bazaar, so the management is also different from other places. Liu Xin implements military management here, and there is a military palace in the city, and even the catchers and servants in the city are actually members of the Western Regions Legion. Liu Xin planned to hand over the young man to the Military Mansion in Wujicheng, and by the way, to investigate the ability of the Military Mansion to deal with such affairs.
Cleya looked at Liu Xin in surprise. As a gladiator, she remained on high alert as she fanned the boy. But she didn't see how Liu Xin held her at all, just like she didn't see how Liu Xin stopped the young man just now. Moreover, Liu Xin held her hand like an iron tong. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break free.
Liu Xin shook his head at her before letting go of his hand.
Although Cleya was very angry at the young man for stealing her things, she didn't dare to disobey Liu Xin's order, so she had to step aside and pick up the burden again.
There were a lot of good things in the baggage, except for Cleya's medallion plate, some gold and silver jewelry, and a lot of coins, which at first glance were not the boy's belongings, and I don't know where he stole them.
Clea took out a glittering coin from her baggage, shook it in front of Liu Xin like a treasure, pointed at the coin, and then pointed at herself.
Liu Xinhu glanced at her suspiciously, took the coin, and couldn't help laughing.
This is a gold coin, beautifully minted. Gold and silver are scarce in the Han Dynasty, and only copper coins are used in large quantities, gold and silver are in the form of gold ingots and silver ingots, and will not be minted into currency, this gold coin is obviously from a foreign country, judging from the patterns and words on it, it should be the coin of Daqin. No wonder Cleya was so excited, probably to show off to Liu Xin how good their Daqin's coinage skills were.
Liu Xin raised his hand, called a guard, took a money bag from him, and handed it to Cleya. When Cleya opened it, she saw that the purse was full of copper coins. She picked up one and looked at it carefully, although it was only a copper coin, it was also very exquisite, not inferior to their Great Qin's gold coin.
These copper coins are called Dahan Tongbao, which are a batch of coins newly minted by Dahan Qianzhuang this year, and have not yet been officially put into use. It is said that it is copper coins, but in fact, these coins are no longer made of pure copper, and they are mixed with some other metals, so it is more appropriate to call them copper alloys. If you look closely, Dahan Tongbao is neither like gold nor silver, nor like copper and iron, so it is difficult to counterfeit.
It was the first time for Cleya to see Dahan's coin, and she was immediately fascinated, and she took it in her hand and looked at it for a long time, and finally her expression became gloomy, because this copper coin was much more exquisite than Daqin's gold coin.
In fact, Great Qin's metal smelting and casting technology was quite developed, and it could be seen from those armors that it was something that all Great Qin people were proud of. Some of the techniques used in the Great Han Tongbao were mastered by the research institute through the analysis of the armor and weapons of the Great Qin, coupled with the application of coal, to mint such exquisite coins.
Cleya's idea of showing off was in vain, and she lowered her head and rummaged through the baggage, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and she took out a piece of parchment from the baggage, and said loudly: "Master, look! ”
