Chapter 306: Walking with Gadot
With a cart of poppy seeds, Li Shan happily prepared to go back to Basra. It is already April, and it has been more than three months since I unknowingly traveled from Thanh Hoa Port, and it is time for the summer monsoon to come, and it is necessary to set sail as soon as possible, enter the Strait of Malacca before the summer monsoon comes, and take the summer monsoon to meet the Tang Dynasty.
Because the summer monsoon is much stronger than the winter monsoon, the monsoon is accompanied by bad weather such as typhoons and heavy rains. So be sure to avoid June and July, when the summer monsoon is at its peak, otherwise accidents are likely to occur.
Ah San said: "Young master, since we left Baghdad, there has been a carriage and horses following us behind us. ”
Li Shan took the binoculars and looked behind him, and sure enough, he saw who the person in the carriage was, Princess Gadot. Why is she following me? Li Shan was a little puzzled, but it was always unpleasant to be followed. And Princess Gadot has an eccentric temperament, high status, and great power. Li Shan didn't want to get involved in this trouble, but this princess Gadot seemed to be very interested in Li Shan.
Li Shan sighed and said, "It seems that she can't get rid of it, so just stop and ask her what she wants to do." ”
Li Shan asked the groom to stop the car and wait for Princess Gadot's carriage to come.
Li Shan smiled and said, "Princess, I don't know what your intention is to follow you?" Could it be that he stole the princess's things? ”
Princess Gadot smiled and said, "The general's words are wrong, how can I say that I follow you?" Could it be that there is only one way for you to go, not for me? The general's words are too domineering, right? ”
Li Shandao: "In this case, it is abrupt, I don't know where the princess is going?" ”
Princess Gadot said: "I, I haven't thought about it yet, I'm just shopping around." I don't know where the general went? Maybe we can go the same way? ”
Sure enough, Gadot is also fearless anyway, and no one in this big food country dares to do anything to Gadot.
Li Shandao: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the princess, I'm about to go to Basra and prepare to go back to the Tang Dynasty." Now that summer is approaching, if you don't leave early, you may not be able to accompany the princess. ”
Princess Gadot smiled, "Basra, I also want to go to Basra, we are on the same road, and we happen to be together." Yesterday, the general left in a hurry, and Gadot has a lot of things that the general has not yet discussed, so isn't it more interesting for us to talk while walking along the way? ”
Li Shan saw Gadot following so openly, and there was no way to refuse, anyway, he didn't have anything important now, and if he blindly prevaricated, it might be even more suspicious.
Li Shan said: "Okay, since the princess has invited her to go along, she will naturally obey her fate." ”
Gadot said: "The general doesn't have to ride a horse, please get in my car and drive up, let's talk more conveniently." ”
Gadot is not taboo about the difference between men and women, Li Shan, this guy is naturally not a rule-abiding master, who can ride a horse in a carriage. Princess Gadot's car is quite luxurious, it is a luxury car pulled by three carriages, and there are fruits and wine on the carriage, which is equivalent to the current extended Lincoln.
Li Shan turned over and jumped into the carriage, and said with a smile: "Thank you princess for your hospitality, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
The princess said, "Did the general come to Baghdad from Basra just for this cart of poppy seeds?" Isn't this kind of seed still having any miraculous effects? ”
Gadot actually didn't believe that Li Shan came to Baghdad just for this cart of seeds, she estimated that Li Shan had another purpose, and this cart of seeds was probably just a tool for him to cover up people's eyes.
Li Shandao: "This poppy is very beautiful, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if it could be planted in your own garden?" I love this flower very much, so I want to buy some seeds to bring back to the Tang Dynasty, and I can also send some to my relatives and friends when I grow flowers, that's all. ”
Gadot personally poured a glass of wine and handed it to Li Shandao: "This is a fine wine, when I was in the Yumen Pass, I listened to the poets of the Tang Dynasty singing 'Grape wine luminous cup, if you want to drink the pipa, urge immediately' It is rumored that it was made by the general." Right? ”
Li Shan nodded and said, "It's really what I did." ”、
Gadot smiled: "I have been learning the culture of the Tang Dynasty with the royal teaching since I was a child, and I also know a little bit about poetry. I didn't expect a military general like a general to be able to make such a good poem. I heard that the general used to be a third-rank official, and he could be regarded as an official of the Tang Dynasty court, so why did he resign? ”
Li Shan took a sip of wine and said: "Sure enough, it's good wine, I'm actually just an idle person, I'm not interested in the affairs of the court, I don't understand things and don't obey the rules, I can't avoid being subject to the rules of the court, but after resigning, I feel more free and easy." Wouldn't it be better to have a taste of the size of the world? ”
Gadot said: "The general's idea is really peculiar, but I know that in the culture of your Tang Dynasty, it seems that there is more of a dogma of loyalty and patriotism, and there is a saying that a gentleman is like a jade and keeps his own life." Such statements as the general are still unheard of. However, Gadot agreed with the general's idea. If a general wants to travel the world, there is no need to resign. The borders of our Arab Empire are south to the ocean, east to the Western Regions, and north to the Byzantine Empire, which can be described as the center of the world. If the general wishes, I can also promote the general to be my lieutenant general, and the general's movement is not restricted in any way, and he can roam at will. ”
Sure enough, Gadot is also here to be a lobbyist, and Li Shan is also a sought-after sweetheart, and at this time, the two major empires in the world are favored by Li Shan.
Li Shan smiled: "This world is far from being so narrow as the princess imagined, and there are still many unknown things waiting for us to discover in this vast sea. ”
Princess Gadot smiled: "I just admire the general's talent, just talk about it." The general doesn't have to care, come, let's have another drink. ”
Gadot raised his wine glass and shook it in front of Li Shan, this wine tastes really good, and Li Shan likes it very much, anyway, this is boring all the way, and it should be a pastime.
Li Shan and Princess Gadot each had a glass, and watched a large pot of wine being drunk by two whales. Li Shan said that he had a good amount of wine, but he didn't expect that the amount of wine in Gaduo was even greater, and under the two of them fighting, Li Shan actually lost. This wine also seems to be different from the previous drink, after drinking it is very drunk, and there seems to be something strange to see.
Li Shan seemed to have entered a strange world, and strange pictures flashed in front of Li Shan's eyes. Li Shan seems to have arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, driving the building ship to fight the wind and waves in the Cape of Good Hope. And the next moment. Li Shan found a Siberian mine, and there were countless diamonds in the pit. In another blink of an eye, Li Shan came to the Americas, haha, I actually discovered the New World, corn, peppers, and tobacco. All of them are things that Li Shan dreams of. (To be continued.) )
