Time has passed the beginning of spring, the Guanzhong Plain in the Tang Dynasty, far warmer and wetter than later generations, Chang'an to Luoyang on both sides of the official road, a willow tree has grown new shoots.

The warm spring sun brought life and melted the remnants of snow, and a team of seven people drove mule carts and horses eastward on this muddy official road.

A teenager sat on the cart of a mule cart, playing with a fist-sized lump in his hand, trying to tear the wood off the lump one by one.

About half a moment later, the young man successfully removed three pieces of wood, but the rest did not know how to dismantle for a while, he tinkered for a few more minutes, and finally put down the knots in frustration, and looked up to the middle-aged man who was walking in front on horseback and looked like a scribe: "Daddy, how to dismantle the fourth one?" ”

The middle-aged man looked about thirty years old, dressed in a green shirt, with an elegant face, he was riding on a horse, looking around at the surrounding scenery, his brows furrowed slightly, and he turned his head and said: "Xin'er, find a way by yourself, how can you ask for help from others when you encounter a slight setback?" ”

"Oh." The boy muttered, and began to study the pimple on his hand again.

A well-dressed man whispered to the scribe, "Ah Lang, why do I feel that something is wrong on this road?" ”

"Are all the displaced people from the whole of Huazhou and the same state coming here? It's weird. The scribe also thought it strange, but did not think much of it, and the seven men hurried on their way, and in a short time they came to a carriage shop by the roadside, and found it more and more overcrowded.

I felt that something was wrong, and the middle-aged man wanted to go directly, but his son said he was thirsty. In addition, mules and horses should also drink water and rest. He stopped.

The middle-aged scribe drank the mash. Careful about the large number of people around him, he felt even more strange, he vaguely remembered that when he passed by here a month ago, the shopkeeper and his buddies were not these people.

Seeing that many people in the shop had fierce faces, the middle-aged scribe felt a little wrong, and at this time, he heard someone walk in and whispered something in the shopkeeper's ear, and the middle-aged scribe's ears were pointed. I vaguely heard what "Buddha" and "Bodhisattva" or something, and my heart was shocked, my hands were unstable, and a small half bowl of mash fell on the case.

The middle-aged scribe even said sorry, doubled the money for resting and wanted to get up and leave. But they didn't want the shopkeeper to kick his eyes, and suddenly more than a dozen people surrounded them.

"What are you going to do!"

"Why should you ask knowingly, sir, since you have seen that something is wrong, how can you let you escape." As he spoke, all seven of them were firmly bound, and one of them went to the back of the store.

"Heaven and earth are for example. We didn't see anything, we didn't know anything......" accompanied by the screams of small children. The middle-aged scribe assured in such a loud voice, of course, that it would not help at all.

"Bodhisattva, do you want to just kill them?"

"Don't use it for the time being, that scribe seems to have some identity, you go and interrogate it, there will be many hostages at that time."

After a short period of twists and turns, the carriage and horse shop soon returned to calm, and the official road was still full of people, and the slight difference from the past was that the people near the car and horse shop were gathering more and more, and most of them were bankrupt farmers who had lost their land.

More than ten miles west of the carriage shop, Abe Harumi and Sarutobi Shinzo rode in front of the team on horseback.

The Four Seas Trading Company wanted to cooperate with them in Japan, and the two, together with Fujiwara Shizuka, and more than 20 Japanese students and craftsmen, followed Xiao Quai's team to Luoyang this time.

"Abe-kun, do you think that King Lanling seems to have a special affection for you?"

Abe Qingming nodded: "It's a pity that King Lanling refuses to accept us as disciples." I talked to him in the past two days and found that King Lanling really knows everything about astronomy and geography. What makes Harumi most curious is that he seems to know us very well about Japan and is very interested.

From what he said, I can be very sure that King Lanling has never been to our country of Japan, but he actually knows that we have large, medium, and small shops in Japan, and he laughs at our emperor Ranlun......"

Ape Fei Jinsan's eyes widened suddenly, and he said angrily and incredulously: "This is to maintain the purity of the royal bloodline!" These things are strictly kept secret by those of us who sent Tang envoys to Datang, how did King Lanling know about them? ”

"Listening to the meaning of King Lanling, it seems that he looks down on us from the bottom of his heart because of these reasons, so he refuses to accept us as disciples! It's a pity, the king of Lanling is a pedantic celestial, and he has more knowledge than all the Tang scholars combined, even if he learns half of it, he will be inexhaustible! ”

Ape Fei Jinsan's fists clenched tightly, gritting his teeth hatefully, he also felt that condescension from Xiao Quai

of contempt.

As a disciple of the immortals, Xiao Qubing has all kinds of immortal means, and it is also appropriate for the cliff bank to be high and high, but Xiao Qubing is very humble to Datang many times, and he is very affectionate to some Hu people such as Aliyi, An Baozhen, and Xiao Tianming, especially to Aliyi and Xiao Tianming, who are simply taught each other, which is very good.

But only for them Japanese, it is a kind of contempt from the heart, this contempt makes Sarufei Shinzo, who is humble on the outside and extremely arrogant in his heart, extremely angry, and he is about to go crazy, but he can only endure it, and the whole person is depressed to the extreme.

The Emperor of Japan often marries close relatives, and siblings often form pairs, although the Japanese believe that this is to preserve the purity of the imperial bloodline, which is acceptable.

However, the envoys and students who came to the Tang Dynasty such as Ape Fei Jinsan also knew very well that the Tang people attached great importance to etiquette and human ethics, and this must be extremely unacceptable. originally thought that as long as all the Japanese who came to Datang strictly kept the secret and did not tell it, the Datang people would not know, but I didn't expect Xiao Quzhi to know, and he despised Japan because of this!

Now I finally know the reason why Xiao Qubing refused to teach the Japanese knowledge, it turned out to be this, because he despised the Japanese emperor's chaotic behavior, because he thought that such behavior was inferior to beasts, so he despised all the Japanese and refused to let his noble knowledge be learned by the Japanese.

According to the thinking of the Tang people, Xiao Quzhi despised it so reasonably, and for a while, it made Ape Fei Jinsan a little speechless. After half a salary, he whispered in Abe Harumi's ear: "If he doesn't teach, won't we learn secretly?" This time we went to sea together, shipbuilding and navigation skills, we pay more attention, are we afraid that we will not be able to learn? ”

"But it's better to be as secretive as possible." Abe Qingming nodded, paused, he looked at the more and more homeless people on the roadside, and said with a suspicious face: "It's strange, how can there be so many homeless?" ”

"Who knows, Xu wants to rush to Luoyang?"

At the same time, two miles behind the two, Xiao Quzhi frowned and asked the same question: "It's strange, how can there be so many homeless people?" ”

"Didn't they think Luoyang was going to recruit workers too, so they rushed to Luoyang?" Linghu Liuyun Dao.

"We are only preparing to recruit local people in Luoyang, and we have not released the news of recruiting workers in advance. This is very wrong, Liuyun, don't you think someone has been following us all the time? ”

"Brother Xiao is saying that this has something to do with the people who are following us?"

"Eighth Brother Nan, you ask." After Nan Jiyun received the order to go, Xiao Quzhi ordered loudly: "All on alert, what about Zhang Xiaogou?" ”

ps: It's gone today, and it took some time to think about the detailed outline. (To be continued.) )
