Chapter 118: The Attraction of Treasure

There were also more than a hundred or so people on Zhao Wushuang's side, and it was indeed a little eye-catching after going ashore. So a British officer came with seven or eight soldiers.

Lu Wenguang has been a layman all the year round and has a strong ability to judge the situation. Seeing the oncoming officers, I was worried that if I collided with the humanoid avatar of Lord Ryujin who was walking in front, something would be wrong!

His English was not bad, so he volunteered to go up and negotiate with the British.

"My lord, I am a merchant from China in the East. Coming and going on this route all year round, I don't usually see such a formation. What's going on these days? ”

The leading British officer glanced at the crowd behind him, and estimated that just by looking at Zhao Wushuang's more than two-meter size and Xiong Li's fierce aura, he knew that it was not easy to provoke, and he was not too outstanding. It's just that after charging a certain fee to Lu Wenguang according to the head, he was released.

Zhao Wushuang went ashore as an "ordinary" person at this time, so he didn't wear the steel Jiao giant armor. It's just the same as Xiong Li, tight leather armor and coarse cloth shorts, and the steel-like muscles are about to tear the clothes. Everywhere he went, there seemed to be people paying attention to him a few times.

"It seems that this puppet's body is a bit eye-catching anyway." Zhao Wushuang keenly felt the gaze of passers-by, and smiled bitterly in his heart. Luckily, Kerala was a place of trade. Humans of all countries, nationalities, and races are haunted here, and there are no longer a few with strange shapes, so although others are surprised by Zhao Wushuang's burly body, they don't care too much.

Zhao Wushuang said to Lu Wenguang as he walked: "Later, you can arrange accommodation first, and then the others can move freely and inquire about the news here." You and Xiong Li will go with me to the Padmanaba Swamy Temple to see what is going on. ”

Lu Wenguanglian claimed that he still had some connections in Tiruvonon Tabulem. Whether it was the local aristocracy or some executives of the East India Company, they could still speak a few words. It's not a problem to arrange some accommodation, but you still need to worry about it if you want to be worthy of the extremely noble status of Lord Ryujin.

Soon, a manor house with a strong English colonial style became the place to stay. It covers an area of dozens of acres, in which the grass and trees are lush, and the garden pool is extremely luxurious.

At that time, although China had gradually declined under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and its national strength was gradually weakening, it was still one of the world's leading powers. Chinese businessmen, led by Guangdong, traveled to and from all over Asia, earning huge sums of money and becoming the gods of wealth in various regions and countries. This is evident from the fact that Lu Wenguang was able to easily obtain such a manor house here in Tiruvonon Taburam to rest his feet.

There were already male and female servants waiting in the manor, waiting for Zhao Wushuang to change into a looser and more comfortable set of clothes. Then he called Xiong Li and Lu Wenguang to prepare to go to the Padmanaba Swami Temple. Originally, Xiong Li wanted to call a few members of the "Dragon Thorn", but was rejected by Zhao Wushuang.

India is a rather strange country, although it is known as one of the four ancient civilizations. But in fact, the three really didn't have a few days. Basically, it is in the rhythm of being "" by different countries and nations.

First of all, it was invaded by the Aryans, then by the Persians and Alexander, and then by the Greeks, the Cypriots, and the Sabbats. After the Common Era, it was killed by the descendants of the Huns, and then after the rise of the Arab Empire, it came to the east and did India again.

After hundreds of years of being by the Arabs, the tough Mongols are back. Then after the rise of the European powers, the Portuguese, the Dutch, the French, and the British came together, and they did it! All right...... Even Zhao Wushuang felt pity for them.

All in all, India is now essentially divided into many different states at the behest of the British. All had their own nobles and lords, and they were basically under the de facto control of the East India Company.

Walking through the streets of Tiruvonontabram, Zao looked around with interest. It was the first time he had come to India, both in his previous life and now. There is a sense of novelty in going abroad, and many Indians wearing turbans come and go, far from the exotic.

And in between, there were Chinese, there were Caucasians in the West, and even a small number of blacks -- slaves, of course. It is really a complete range of people, which shows that Kerala is indeed a big trading state, and it was also an important stop on the Maritime Silk Road.

"It's really amazing here, and all kinds of Fanbangyi people can see it. It's a few points more than Guangzhou. Xiong Li felt that his eyes were not enough to see, and he was amazed.

Lu Wenguang smiled: "Instructor Xiong doesn't know. In fact, Guangzhou's commerce and trade still have a high entry threshold, but this Indian state of Kerala is different, as long as you pay a little money casually, you can go ashore to do business, there is no such thing as customs. But it stands to reason that I didn't have so many people the first few times I came, I'm afraid that the news of the temple treasure spread, and I came here to get a piece of the pie. I'm afraid this place won't be at peace lately. However, I also find it strange that the locals have an almost paranoid fanatical sense of guardianship of the temple. It's too difficult for outsiders to get the treasure......"

However, when he thought of Zhao Wushuang next to him, he hurriedly added: "Of course, Lord Dragon God is an immortal, not a mortal. Nature is not one of them. You are a real immortal, and those Indians worship nothing more than false gods, false gods, all of which are imaginary. ”

Zhao Wushuang was amused by this guy, and a rare smile appeared on his face in front of his subordinate believers: "Shopkeeper Lu is worthy of being a delicate person. A mouth not only fools people, but also fools immortals. ”

As he was talking, a group of people came up to him, about twenty or so. Wearing a coarse linen shirt common at sea, his hair is greasy and rarely washed at first glance, and his body also has a strong smell of sea, and he looks like a person who has been begging for a living at sea for a long time. All of them had unkind faces, and scars of different sizes could be seen on their faces and bodies due to the battle, and they were vicious. You can feel a bad breath from a long distance.

After Zhao Wushuang seized the sacrifice and possessed the humanoid puppet magic body, the divine soul seemed to be imprisoned in it, and lost the ability to pre-detect within a radius of hundreds of meters. So this group of people had already approached, and he felt their fierceness and difference.

Xiong Li is a battlefield warrior, killing countless enemies, and is naturally very sensitive. He lowered his voice and said, "Lord Ryujin, these people came over in front of you. I'm afraid it's not a good person. Judging by the way they walk and their bodies, they are probably vicious pirates. ”
