When he returned home, Li Shan was very depressed.

Although Li Shan tried his best to explain to Tang Xuanzong that there was nothing to lose from this incident, in Tang Xuanzong's view, Li Shan and the soul chaser's dereliction of duty could not be shirked, and he was currently guilty of meritorious service, and if he could not find the assassin within ten days, Li Shan would wait to be punished.

Sure enough, the companion is like a tiger, and he doesn't talk about any affection.

"Young master, a few foreigners in the living room who claimed to be envoys of the Great Food Country said that they wanted to visit you, would you like to meet you?"

Envoys of the Great Food Country, what are they doing here?

"Go down, and I'll go." By the way, you go and call Ah San to come over. ”

The people of the Great Food Country spoke Arabic, which Li Shanke couldn't understand. Fortunately, Li Shan happened to have a translator under his hand, although the Great Food Eater must have brought an interpreter when he came. But using someone else's translation is certainly not as imposing as your own translation.

Li Shan, who came to take the living room, saw that it was Gamal, the envoy of the Great Food Country, who was sitting there, and there were two people behind him. One was dressed as a samurai with a sword around his waist, and the other was dressed as a butler, which is supposed to be a translation.

"Lord Gamal, I don't know what advice you have here?" Li Shan went up and arched his hand.

"Lord Gamel said that he came today to discuss a business with Master Li." Asan translated Gamal's words.

But Li Shan saw that the guards beside Gamal looked at Ah San with a hostile look and said a few words in Gamal's ear.

Li Shan asked Ah San in a low voice, "What is that guard talking about?" ”

Ah San said: "This person is the chief of the royal guard of the Great Food Country, and he wants to compete with his subordinates. ”

"Tournament? Why? Li Shan didn't expect these two people to know each other.

Ah San said: "Before the Tang Dynasty, he was the slave of the richest merchant in the Great Food Country, and he once competed with the chief of the guard, and his subordinate won. He has always been obsessed with this matter. ”

"Oh, there's still such a thing. How could the slaves of the richest merchant compete with the chief of the royal guard? Li Shan was quite interested in this matter.

"It was at the king's birthday banquet that the former master went to present to the king." Ah San didn't say much, presumably it was an entertaining competition. However, as the captain of the royal guard, he lost to a slave, and such humiliation can be imagined.

Here, Gamal obviously doesn't want to cause more trouble. whispered something, probably to stop the chief of the guard.

Li Shan said with a smile: "Since the chief of the guard wants to be ashamed, and the official is also very curious about the martial arts of the two, it is better to try it on Li's mansion." Let Li also open his eyes. What do you think? ”

Li Shan looked at Ah San and waited for him to make a statement.

Ah San said respectfully: "The master has an order, and Ah San should obey it." ”

Gammel couldn't stop Li Shan's speech, and the chief of the guard was already eager to try.

The four of them came out of the living room to the front yard, and Li Shan quietly told Ah San that no matter what, he had to fight with this chief guard, and the longer the better. Force out all his moves.

When the two of them came to the courtyard, the chief of the guard drew the sword at his waist, and Ah San was unarmed.

The captain of the guard snapped, "Get out your weapon." ”

Ah San raised his fist and said, "I haven't used weapons for a long time, my fist is my weapon." ”

The chief of the guard said angrily: "Don't underestimate me, I know that your strongest is your two-handed sword, do you want to fight me with your bare hands, then even if you win, it is meaningless." ”

Li Shan couldn't understand the words of the two, so he asked Ah San to translate before he understood. smiled: "Since it is a competition, it must be treated fairly." If the opponent has a weapon, you should have a weapon too. Go and get yours also. ”

Ah San had weapons, and his two swords were brought with him when Wang Yuanbao gave him to Li Shan, and it could be seen that he was very precious.

Ah San went to get the weapon. In his hand he held two swords, one long and one short, the long sword was three feet long, and the short sword was only half the length of the long sword.

This two-handed sword seems to be made of stainless steel, and Li Shan knew that it was still very difficult to make steel during the Tang Dynasty. These two swords are treasures of the world.

The captain of the guard saw these two swords, and his eyes showed longing. It seems that he also loves this sword.

The chief of the guard put on a posture and made a provocative gesture towards Ah San, who was unmoved and looked indifferent.

The head of the guard shouted. rushed over, completely different from the previous competition between Dongyang Dao Chang and Guangwu Master, explosive muscles, and strength competition. The skills of fighting, the sword goes sideways, and every move and style is thinking about how to take the opposite side directly.

Ah San didn't attack at first, holding a long sword in his right hand and fighting with the chief of the guard, but in his left hand, he held the short sword backhand and didn't make a move.

The long sword in the hand of the captain of the guard is also more special, it is longer than the usual sword, and it is wide, which is a heavy sword type. Seeing that Ah San had not made a move, the chief of the guard suddenly retreated, staring at Ah San, holding his sword in both hands.

Ah San also seemed to feel the change in the momentum of the guard chief, and his move changed to his left hand short sword.

"Ahh Li Shan seemed to be able to feel a wave of qi being carried up by him, but Ah San did not take the sword hard, and raised his right hand. But when the two swords touched, the sword body was slightly tilted, and the right hand was sent to the left, resolving the powerful blow.

Defusing this blow, Ah San seemed to have some fighting intent and pointed his sword at the chief of the guard. The chief of the guard didn't say a word, and it was another blow, and the two of them went back and forth to dismantle more than a dozen moves. Ah San also tried to attack a few times, but was neutralized by the chief of the guard.

It can be seen that although the defense of the two-handed sword is somewhat insufficient, it is very tricky and difficult to defend against. At one point, the attack almost slashed the neck of the chief of the guard.

The two of them dismantled dozens of moves, and finally Ah San found an opportunity, and with a sword in his right hand, he picked off the heavy sword of the chief of the guard, and at the same time, the sword in his left hand was reversed, and a bully was attached to the neck of the chief of the guard. If the sword in his left hand is not reversed, the captain of the guard is already a dead man at this time.

Li Shan clapped his hands and said: "Okay, the martial arts of the two are very exciting, Li is really eye-opening." ”

The captain of the guard was very reluctant, but he could only accept the fact that he was not Ah San's opponent. Ghamel was not satisfied with the way the guard chief did it, glanced at the guard chief with anger, and said to Li Shan: "Lord Li, since the competition is over, let's talk about business." ”

Li Shan made a gesture of invitation and said, "Then let's talk in the house, the two warriors are also tired, take a good rest." ”

"We're not going to beat around the bush, we want you to tell me everything you know how to make firearms," Gamel said. ”

Li Shan was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Gamel to say it so directly, and laughed and said: "You can really laugh, you must know that I am the secretary of the arms department of the Tang Dynasty, and the production method of this firearm is a secret of my court, if I leak it out, the emperor will not behead me all over the house." ”

Gamel said: "Lord Li, I think you are not very clear about your current state, your current situation is like, to use a fable of your Tang Dynasty, like a child walking down the street with a piece of gold. Countless people are watching you. If you know that you can sell yourself for the rest of your life while you're worth the most money, you'll have nothing to worry about for the rest of your life, but if you want to keep playing the game, you'll only end up in two. Either your emperor will be suspicious and get rid of you, or you will be killed by your enemies as well. ”

Li Shan deliberately pretended to ponder for a long time, and said, "Then I want to know, what kind of price am I worth now in your eyes?" ”

Gamel hooked his finger at the translator behind him, and the translator took a box and opened it to Li Shan.

Inside were a small scepter, a crown, and a map.

Li Shan looked at it and said, "What does this mean?" ”

Gamal said: "Our king Yezid has set the highest conditions, if you are willing to give our firearms to our Great Food Country, then the country on this map is yours, and you are the king of this country." ”

Because the big food country is composed of many small countries, this is one of them, although it is not big, only about three Jingzhou as big. But in the Tang Dynasty, this was impossible, the whole world was not the king's land, even the prince could not tear the soil and seal the king, and the Great Food Country actually gave such a generous treatment.

Li Shan couldn't help but feel a little moved, but he was still sober, and there was no pie in the sky, if there was, it was likely to be a trap.

Gamal was quite moved to see Li Shan, and continued to increase: "King Yeqid also promised that as long as Lord Li can bring firearms into the Great Food Country and is willing to do things for the Great Food Country, King Yeqid can marry his sister to you." ”

Li Shan's eyes kept rolling, and he seemed to be quite moved, his eyes showed greed, and he asked tentatively: "Really?" ”

Gammel squinted his eyes and smiled: "The thing is here, as long as Master Li nods, he will be the king of a country in the future." ”

Li Shan touched the scepter and crown in his hand, and did not speak for a long time, Gamel smiled: "Lord Li has enough time to think about it, I will leave first, and wait for Lord Li at any time." ”

After sending away Gamal, Ah San said to Li Shan: "Master, Gamer's words are not credible, they are all mercenary villains, and they will never keep their word." ”

And Li Shan didn't have the greedy look he had when he looked at the crown at this time, and said with a smile: "That's natural, I won't be so easily fooled." Do you remember the Captain of the Guard's moves? Now come with me to the munitions, I have something to do. (To be continued.) )
