~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This group of officials surrounded Zhang Fang and others, and it was near the city gate that people came and went, and when they saw the government taking people, they immediately gathered around to see the excitement. More than eighty percent of the people here are Hu people, and all of them are not big enough to see the excitement.
In the midst of the crowd, there was a richly decorated wagon. The drapery on all sides, the double wheel and the single horse, the cover is square and Shuo, the four sides are slightly rolled up, the helmet shaped top, the body is long, sitting and lying at will, it is very a bit of the taste of the ancient "RV". In front of the chariot sat a burly royal man, and on each side of the chariot were guarded by two knights in armor.
Looking at the lively crowd, most of them know that this kind of chariot is a long-distance vehicle for female dependents, and most of them are used by noble ladies, so they don't need to be shouted by knights, but they don't dare to get too close.
The sound came from the curtain of the chariot, and at the same time as the voice, there was a delicate face like a clear water hibiscus.
Zhang Fang and all the officials turned their heads and looked sideways, and they were all surprised.
Zhang Fang was surprised that this face had just seen - in that restaurant, a cowardly little girl, with four outrageous sergeants, not only stopped a possible bloody conflict, but also spoke up to relieve the young male and female slaves. And now, he has come to relieve himself again.
Where did this woman come from? Looks like it's quite related to me.
And the reason why the officials were surprised was because they knew the car. Recently, there has been a unique gorgeous car in Sanshui, entering and leaving the Duwei Mansion, just waiting for leisure, or the owner of the cloud car is the sister of the Fu Cheng Banzhi. Whether it was or not, just because of the gorgeous decoration of this chariot, those who were eligible to ride it were either rich or expensive, not to mention the four armored knight guards. This is not something that a small group of officials can afford to provoke.
The officials were all people with eyes, and the leader put away his sword and tidied his clothes, and saluted respectfully: "It's okay to ask, son-in-law." β
The delicate face immediately disappeared behind the curtain, and after a while, another equally beautiful round face poked out and hooked his chin to Zhang Fang: "You come here." β
This face will naturally not be forgotten, it is the little maid who is almost comparable to the hostess.
Zhang Fang gestured to the Han brothers and the others to be at ease, Shi Shiran walked over, but the knight leader stretched out his hand to stop him, and said sharply: "See the dismissal." β
There is also a group of ill-intentioned officials around, and who knows what will happen when the weapon is disarmed?
Zhang Fang hugged the sword into his arms and glanced coldly.
The leader of the knights is also a fierce soldier who fights on the battlefield and licks blood with a knife, and there is evil in his eyes, and he will tremble when the idlers see it, and the arrogance of murderers such as Bu Gusu will be reduced by three points in front of him. But it was this gaze full of evil spirits, and when it touched the cold light of two beams of cold and dead air, in the scorching summer, it was a thrill, and a cold breath rose from the bottom of my heart. At this moment, the leader of the knights had a ridiculous thought: this is not a living man!
The conceited and brave knight leader was already frightened, but his duty required him to disarm the terrible boy, and just as he was in a dilemma, the gentle and beautiful voice of the female son came from the car, and in the ears of the knight leader, it was like a general amnesty: "There is no need to dismiss the army, please come to this little man." β
Zhang Fang stepped forward as he said and bowed to the little maid.
The little maid's face was blushing, and she didn't know if it was because she was watched by many ill-intentioned Hu people, or because the beautiful young man in front of her was red-faced.
The little maid's eyes flickered, and she lightly opened her lips: "My little lady asked you, what are you making in Zhao's Jinyuan?" β
In the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was not flourishing, and women were not as strict as the restraints of later generations, so it was only ordinary to show up, but in the public, there were mostly vulgar Hu people watching, and it was better not to show up if they could not show up.
Zhang Fang smiled: "Your little lady is really knowledgeable, and knows that that thing is not an iron shield forbidden weapon, in this regard, it is much stronger than some people." β
The little maid covered her mouth with her sleeves, ate and laughed, and a chuckle came from inside the curtains. Only the leader of the officials not far behind him, his orange-peeled pockmarked face was even darker.
"This is an iron kettle, also called an iron pot in our hometown, which is used for stir-frying." Zhang Fang had already thought of his words in just a dozen steps at the girl's request. In any case, it cannot be admitted that this is a heart shield, otherwise the crime of making armor is no less serious than making iron shields.
So what is it? Zhang Anxin thought about it, and an interesting story about the First World War jumped into his mind. It is said that the origin of the modern helmet originated from the First World War, when a cook put an iron pot on his head to avoid artillery fire.
Since an iron pot can be used as a helmet, can't a helmet or something similar to a helmet also be used as an iron pot? Zhang Fang has been worrying about what to eat and how to eat all day long, so he knows the cooking utensils of this era best - the Han Dynasty did not have an iron pot, let alone the cooking skills of frying dishes. Therefore, it is not surprising that the palm of the blacksmith shop mistakenly used the iron pot as a shield.
"Iron cauldron? Nonsense! The leader of the officials laughed angrily, "Who of you has ever seen such an iron cauldron?" And I have never heard of dishes or cooking or frying, so what is there and what is fried? It's ridiculous. β
Zhang Fang glanced at the leader of the officials with disdain, and his voice erupted: "How many places have you walked in?" Do you know where the south of South Vietnam is? Do you know where you live on the coast of the East China Sea? Do you know where the North Sea is? Do you know where the extreme west of the Western Regions is? There are all over the world, everything in the world, there are all kinds of strange things, things you have never seen or even heard of, there are not a thousand but eight hundred. The frog at the bottom of the well of Er, who does not know the size of the world, dares to judge who there is! What none! It's truly ridiculous. β
The original words are returned, and the slap in the face is crackling!
What is even more surprising is that Zhang Fang's words are magnificent, with a great chest to hide everything, and wave the momentum of the world. Mo said that these officials, even the pair of main maids in the car, the guards and knights, including the hundreds of onlookers, were all stunned when they heard it, and they were all stunned.
Momentum! This is the momentum of a scholar!
In this era when learning is almost completely monopolized by the upper class, in this era of knowledge that does not know whether the earth is square or round, even a middle school student in later generations can be called a well-educated person, and it is no problem to bluff students, let alone these little officials.
The ignorant are always discouraged in the face of the erudite, and the leader of the officials and a group of his subordinates are all ochre-colored and speechless.
At this time, among the onlookers, several Hu people wearing strange costumes suddenly squeezed out. The first person, about fifty years old, with deep eyes and tendrils, pale brown pupils, tall and thin figure, neck ornaments, and jade belts around his waist, is obviously a well-established Hu Shang.
This Hu merchant saluted Zhang Fang and said in stiff Chinese: "Our people came from the west, and the camel team led by them traveled all over the cities and countries of the Western Regions. It is rumored that the land further west of Great Xia is the city of Resting Fandou, and the wealth of its country is not under the Han Dynasty. β
Zhang Fang returned the salute, smiled and shook his head: "Rest is not the extreme west, there is more Great Qin to the west of it, and its country calls itself Rome, rich and powerful, enough to be called the same as the Han Dynasty." Rome has a lot of gold and lacks silk, its subjects are extravagant, they are eager for silk, and other idle silk can be exchanged for 100 gold, if it is a good Shu brocade, it is not easy to be gold. If this old man can lead the caravan to make a smooth trip, he only needs one trip, which is enough to make half his life rich. β
The Hu merchant was full of surprise: "When I was in the Lan City, I had a drink with a merchant, and he also said that there is a Roman country in the far west, the people are rich, and the gold is luxurious. However, after the merchant sobered up the next day, he said to us that this was drunken nonsense and should not be true...... Now listening to Xiao Langjun's words, this is true. Hehe, it seems that someone is afraid of the old man's share of the pie! β
Zhang Fang nodded with a smile: "Now that the old man understands, the kid doesn't need to talk more." β
Hu Shang solemnly saluted Zhang Fang again: "Xiao Langjun does not leave the house, but he clearly sees thousands of miles, and it will not be a thing in the pool in the future, Ali Muduo admits advice." β
Zhang Fang returned the salute and said in a warning tone: "From Chang'an to Rome, not to mention tens of thousands of miles, thousands of horses out of Yangguan, and few people have not been seen." It's good to be ambitious and willing to take risks, but you can't be careless when it's a difficult journey. Zhang Fang is here, wishing you all the best in the future. β
The Hu businessmen, led by Alimu, saluted Zhang Fangxing in unison. The onlookers looked at the Hu people, and they exchanged their heads and ears, and they were amazed. This round-up turned into an open-air speech for a solo show, which was really unexpected. Except for the leader of the officials, who were still a little embarrassed and difficult to get into the sheath, the rest of the officials were dissatisfied, in awe, honestly put away their weapons, and the original encirclement was slowly dispersed.
The Han brothers, Qingyan and the others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Xiao Langjun with both surprise and admiration, although they guessed that Xiao Langjun must have been born in an official eunuch, but they never expected that at such a young age, they would be so knowledgeable.
At this time, I heard a crisp and delicate voice say: "Xiao Langjun is really knowledgeable and understands foreign things. The little girl has a matter to ask for, I have heard Mr. talk about the legacy of the previous dynasty, when the Qin Emperor sent Xu City with hundreds of children to the East China Sea to find the fairy mountain. As a result, it has been gone for a long time, and it has disappeared for a hundred years, which makes people think about it...... I don't know if Xiao Langjun can tell him, can there be a fairy mountain overseas? β
Zhang Fang heard that it was the voice of the beautiful girl, turned around, and saw the little maid staring at a pair of big black eyes, looking at herself with a wistful face, Zhang Fang smiled - as a doctor who soothes the soul as a profession, a smile is one of the most important ways to communicate, especially in such a delicate situation where there is a large public and a group of officials who want to embarrass themselves on their side, an infectious smile is the best way to get out of trouble.
"Beyond the East China Sea, the ocean is vast, and from this shore to the other, it is far away. Between the thousands of blue waves, there is no immortal mountain, but there are countless treasures. Zhang Fang talked eloquently, his voice was neither high nor low, his speed was not slow, but what he said grabbed everyone's hearts at once. The most noisy city gate in the past, at this moment, including the guards, was silent.
Human curiosity and thirst for knowledge are evident at this moment.
Without the beautiful girl to open her mouth, the little maid had already asked on behalf of the hostess and the vast number of onlookers: "Treasure?!" Where is it? In the sea? β
Zhang Fang said leisurely: "There are countless treasures in the sea, but unfortunately we can't see them, let alone get themβat least not now." The treasures I am talking about are the large and small islands that are like pearls. Maybe no one pays attention to it at this time, and it will be like a pearl covered with dust, but one day in the future, a small island can affect a country. β
The onlookers, whether Han or Hu, are mostly people who have only seen the wind-blown sand loess in their lives, so how have they ever seen any sea islands? It's harder to understand what glittering treasures have to do with bare islands, but it's because you don't understand them that you respect them even more.
Human psychology is so wonderful, two thousand years later, some brick family beasts also rely on this to get by.
The little maid's beautiful face retracted into the curtain, obviously the hostess had an order, and after a while, the little maid poked her head out again, but this time she said to the leader of the officials: "My little lady said, the officials take people, is there any evidence?" β
The leader of the officials gestured to the Zhao family's golden servant with his eyes, but the little servant was so frightened that he shrank straight into the crowd. The leader of the officials was angry, but he didn't dare to act in front of the nobles, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Zhao's Jin is the head of the people, and this person's intentions are ......."
The little maid was keenly aware of the flaw, and quickly cut off the conversation: "Intentions? That's no physical object? Without evidence, just by the identification of a small slave, with a red mouth and white teeth, a person can be condemned to a crime-Say, Say, Say, how can there be such a law in the Han Dynasty? β
The leader of the officials, the Great Khan, this kind of thing, all depends on one mouth, rather believe it or not, you can take it or put it, and see if the other party has a backstage. At the moment, it seems that this young man is extraordinary, can he really have a great background, ordinary people, how can he have such knowledge? Not to mention that this rumor is the heroine of Lou Annoy's carriage to speak, the meaning of maintenance, it is obvious that he can't offend the big man for a lawsuit that is an iron shield or an iron pot.
The leader of the officials made up his mind, and repeatedly confessed to the noble lady of the car, mishearing the nonsense of Xiaoxiao, and making a big mistake, but fortunately, the nobleman was aware of everything. At the end, he hastily waved to Zhang Fang, which was regarded as making amends, and with a wave of his hand, the officials dispersed like birds and beasts.
The little maid smiled and asked, "My little lady is about to go out of the city and return to the village outside the city, dare to ask Xiao Langjun where he wants to go?" β
Zhang Fang covered his eyebrows with his hands, glanced at the sun, and said, "Hurry up, go back to Gyro Mountain." β
The little maid was obviously quite surprised, and then nodded frequently, as if listening to the hostess's instructions, stared at Zhang Fang and said, "Just by the way, can you go along?" β
Zhang Fang smiled casually: "I can't ask for it." β
When the Hu people were discussing, Zhang Fang led the Han brothers and his party, beside the car, and drove away.
