After a day and a night of sailing, they arrived at Toji Castle at dawn the next day.

Although Dongzhi City is not big, but it is very lively, people come and go speak all kinds of bird language that Sun Shao does not understand, Han people and barbarians mix together, very harmonious, there is no distinction between Huayi at all, occasionally there are Han people who ride fat horses and light carriages to show off their might, but they seem to be foreigners in their lives.

Sun Shao was used to seeing all kinds of foreign devils in his previous life, and now it is not strange to see these strangely dressed people, but Guan Feng is not, one by one curious looking around, excited eyebrows fluttering, look at the east, look at the west, there are always endless new things, I can't wait for every store to go in and take a look, pick up and touch every item, ask a price, and I can't wait to grow eight hands, so that I can wear those unique ornaments.

Sun Shao is completely convinced, this woman likes to go shopping is the surname of Tian, an example in ancient and modern times.

Fortunately, he himself also reported to inquire about the market situation, but he was not idle, but unfortunately, he couldn't understand those bird languages, so he could only watch Zhang covet the blunt bird language, and cooperate with gestures to exchange business experience with those barbarians.

Shen Xuan, who was sulking for a day yesterday, like Sun Shao, didn't understand these words, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, quite sympathetic. Zhang Qian didn't hide his secrets, once he heard any valuable information, he immediately relayed it to Sun Shao, which finally comforted him a little.

"Mozhi, look at these barbarians, are they a little offensive?" Sun Shao pointed to those barbarian women who were thinly clothed and comparable to the betel nut Shih Tzu in later generations, and said in a low voice. Shen Xuan glanced at it very calmly, and the corners of his mouth picked: "As long as you have a righteous heart, don't ignore incivility, this is originally a barbarian land, and it is understandable that the saints cannot be educated." ”

Sun Shao was most unhappy with Shen Xuan's arrogance, and he smiled: "Yes, Mozhi, you have a long way to go." When I go back to see the Supreme this time, I will definitely recommend Mo Zhi to him to be the Captain of Dongzhi, and then Mo Zhi can take a lot of trouble and bring the teachings of the saint here. The sage said that if the period is successful, and the talent of Mo is high, he must be able to turn Dongzhi into a well-dressed town within a year or two. ”

Shen Xuan glanced at him, and stopped talking. If he is willing to bow his head to Sun Quan, why bother to burn Sun Shao's cold stove, Sun Shao is not moved, and he actually teases him coldly, which is simply bearable, which is unbearable. It's a pity that although he doesn't want to endure it, he doesn't have much choice but to endure him.

Tragedy! Shen Xuan sighed. He remembered Zhang Wen's somewhat smug ridicule, "I have a choice, but you don't have a choice", and his heart was a little depressed. He was really cheated by Zhang Wen this time, he must have felt that Sun Shao was not a supplement, so he took the opportunity to get out, but he deceived him. Alas, Zhang Huishu, you are really unkind, isn't this playing with me? Shen Xuan secretly swore that when he returned to Wu County, he would definitely find Zhang Wen to settle the account well, and never give up without giving an explanation.

"Silence?" Sun Shao didn't hear Shen Xuan's answer, turned his head and glanced at him, and saw that Shen Xuan was distracted, looking at the preface with wooden eyes, so he followed his gaze and looked forward, and saw a barbarian girl with a silver collar on her neck, a silver bracelet on her wrist, and a silver ornament on her head looking at them, and couldn't help laughing: "Mozhi, you are too anxious, do you want to educate this barbarian girl now?" Even if it is, you can't be a street indoctrination, it's too ......" He shook his head again and again, making a sad look: "Alas, is that how the saint taught you? ”

Shen Xuan actually didn't look at the woman at all, he was in a daze by Sun Shao, and was stabbed by Sun Shao, only then did he come back to his senses, and when he saw the barbarian girl glaring at him with thin anger, he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and quickly turned his eyes and said unhappily: "Sun Jun, don't be joking." ”

"Hahaha......" Sun Shao was in a good mood when he saw Shen Xuan's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "You can see it, I can't say it?" You stared at someone's chest for a long time, and I couldn't say anything? You're contrary to the teachings of the saints. ”

"Don't you always talk about saints, okay?" Shen Xuan said impatiently, and subconsciously glanced at the woman's chest again. The woman wore an embroidered blue shoulder, and her chest was open low, revealing the bodice underneath. Just as the barbarian girl bent down to fiddle with the items on the load, a deep groove faintly appeared, and between the two breasts, there seemed to be a pattern that flashed away. Shen Xuan felt a little familiar, and couldn't help but take a closer look, but before he could look closely, the barbarian girl seemed to notice something, got up and covered her chest, her face flushed, and she glared at Shen Xuan angrily. Shen Xuan was stunned, and hurriedly hurried a few steps into the crowd.

Sun Shao Dale, just about to chase after him, Guan Feng and the others followed, Qiao Yue raised a conch in his hand and giggled: "Young master, look at this, it's good." ”

"Conch, what's so good, no matter how good it is, it's not as good as Xiao Yue'er's voice." Sun Shao squeezed his eyes, took the conch and glanced at it, and then stuffed it to Qiao Yue: "What else to buy?" ”

"Much, look!" Qiao Yue raised her hand ostentatiously, startling Sun Shao, "Girl, you are too good at spending money, right?" Have you spent all your monthly money? ”

"Hehe, this is for my mother, this is for my wife...... Qiao Yue said with a few treasures: "When I return to Jianye and pay tribute to my mother, my mother will definitely give me money as soon as she is happy, and I will make a false report when the time comes, and I will earn it all back." ”

"Dare to earn your mother's money, you are really bold enough." Sun Shao smiled and pinched her little face, and said: "We still have to go to Jiaozhou, there are more merchants in the Western Regions in Panyu, you will run out of money now, I see how you will have the money to buy it by then." ”

"Well, how did I forget this?" Qiao Yue woke up like a dream, jumped to her feet and said, "What can I do?" ”

"Then I don't care." Sun Shao held his head high and walked away triumphantly, and Guan Feng and Guan Xiaoqing also followed with a snicker. Hashizuki pouted, stomped her foot, and followed.

The barbarian girl looked at Sun Shao's back, her face gradually became gloomy, she thought for a while, turned around and muttered a few words to the old barbarian squatting aside. The old barbarian was stunned for a moment, with a shocked look in his eyes, and when he opened his mouth, it was actually pure Wu Yu: "Is it really him?" ”

"I can't be sure, I just think the accent is a bit similar, and it looks a little similar to the portrait at home." The barbarian girl lowered her voice and said softly, "You go to see Daddy, and I'll follow them and see where they settle." ”

"Okay." The old barbarian stood up at once, his skills were sharp, and his thick feet made the bluestone slab rattle, and he walked away like a gust of wind. The barbarian girl glanced left and right, picked up the load, and followed in the direction where Sun Shao and the others disappeared.

Sun Shao and the others walked all the way to see, they wanted to inquire about the market, the women wanted to shop, and they didn't go fast, and the barbarian girl had been unhurried, but it was not difficult. Time passed quickly, and seeing that it was noon, Qiao Yue first shouted: "Young master, aren't you tired?" Find a place to rest. ”

Sun Shao glared at her and said angrily, "Are you tired?" Madame didn't call it tired, but you called it tired first, and you didn't understand the rules at all. ”

"Hehe, I can't compare to Madame, she is a martial arts practitioner and is in good health." Qiao Yue pleaded coquettishly: "Young master, I really can't walk anymore, let's rest and rest." ”

"It's really unruly." Sun Shao turned his head and smiled bitterly at Zhang Qi and Shen Xuan. Zhang Qian smiled and said: "Young master, it's not too early, let's find a teahouse to rest, today I will be the east, please taste the tea of this Yizhou." I just heard that although the barbarians in Yizhou are not kingly, they are blessed, and some wild tea is still quite tasteful. ”

"Yes, yes." Qiao Yue and Guan Xiaoqing took the lead in clapping their hands and shouting, and before they could scream twice, Guan Feng glared at them, and the two of them hurriedly closed their voices and looked at each other embarrassedly. Zhang Qian smiled slightly, led Sun Shao to take a few steps forward, turned a corner, and saw a teahouse. The façade of the teahouse is not big, a few grass huts supported by the trunks of a tree that have only been peeled, and a few rough wooden cases are lined up, on which there are more than a dozen large black pottery bowls, and there is no place to sit, so the tea drinker stands on the side of the road, throws a money, or puts down a little goods, replaces it with a bowl or two of tea, drinks it with his neck tilted, wipes his mouth, shows a satisfied smile, and turns away.

"This is the teahouse?" Shen Xuan showed a look of disgust.

Zhang Qian smiled: "Shen Jun doesn't know, when he goes out, he is not at home ordinarily, so he has to settle for something." I'll just ask them to wash the bowl properly. As he spoke, he stepped forward and talked to the old man who was scooping tea with a big spoon, and the old man glanced at Sun Shao and them, and saw that they were dressed luxuriously, and there were a few soldiers behind them, but he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly called out a girl who was twelve or thirteen years old, and asked her to bring a basin of water and clean all the dozen pottery bowls on the case.

Sun Shao didn't care, he stood beside the tea stove with his hands down, looking down at the tea leaves. This kind of tea is a little different from the tea that is usually seen, the leaves are large, the leaves are thicker, the soup is golden, of course, this tea is the same as the tea that is now popular in the Han Dynasty, and there are also a lot of condiments such as ginger and cinnamon in it, so it looks a little variegated, and the aroma is relatively strong.

After a short time, the little girl washed the dishes and went out with a large basin with great difficulty. The old man poured tea soup and humbly sent it to Sun Shao, his mouth opened, but he didn't say anything, and there was obviously a trace of fear in his eyes. Sun Shao held the black pottery bowl, smiled, and called Zhang Qian over: "Zhang Jun, please ask him, is there any such tea." ”

Zhang Qian knew that Sun Shao's way of drinking tea was a little different, so he took out a few five-baht coins from his arms and threw them into the old man's hand, and then muttered a few words, the old man looked at Sun Shao flatteredly, nodded again and again, and called the little girl to give a few orders, the little girl raised her sleeves to wipe her sweat, and hurriedly walked in.

Sun Shao picked up a piece of tea and looked at it, but he couldn't tell whether this was the Taiwanese high mountain tea in the previous life, he also knew little about tea, and the current tea preparation method was quite different from the later generations, and he really didn't have the ability to identify.

"Is his tea really from Yizhou?" Sun Shao asked with some hesitation.

"Yes." Zhang Qian said with a smile: "This tea is indeed not produced in my Jiangdong, and it is very different from the tea in Jiaozhou and Yizhou." Besides, the profit of this tea is not high, and not many people are willing to counterfeit it. ”

"Isn't that a high margin?" Sun Shao was very surprised.

"Not high." Zhang Qi smiled: "Drinking tea is just a pastime, the amount is far less than wine, if it is not a fresh taste, who will come here to drink tea?" Wouldn't it be better to go to a wine shop and have a snack along the way? It's just a thirst quenching here, where can it be real. ”

Sun Shao suddenly became interested, who said that the profit of tea is not high, you must know that tea and salt are big profits in later generations, and there is an ancient tea horse road in Yunnan, if you want to say business, this is a way to make money. He said with great interest: "You can help me ask him if the yield of this tea in Yizhou is high." ”

"I've just asked, and the yield is low." Zhang Qian didn't ask, he was shrewd, and as soon as Sun Shao showed a little meaning, he guessed Sun Shao's thoughts, and just asked all the relevant questions. He shook his head and said: "This tea is wild tea, there are a few tea trees in front of and behind his house, and he will sell tea here for a few days to make a little money, and when it is sold out, he will change his career here." We were just lucky to catch up, and we couldn't drink it two days late. ”

"Is that so?" Sun Shao was disappointed, glanced at the tea soup in the bowl with some regret, raised the bowl and took a sip.

"Husband." Guan Feng walked up to him and said softly, "You pay attention to the barbarian girl in the southwest corner, she seems to have been following us. ”

Sun Shao was startled, and forcibly resisted the ** who wanted to look up, pretending to be casual, holding the tea bowl and taking a sip, his eyes swept around very calmly, and sure enough, he found the barbarian girl. He felt a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen it, hesitated for a moment, and then saw Shen Xuan who was frowning, and then suddenly realized: Isn't this the barbarian girl who was peeped into by Shen Xuan? Could it be that she came to Shen Xuan to settle accounts? Shouldn't it?

"You know her?" Guan Feng saw Sun Shao's abnormal expression and hurriedly asked.

"I don't know." Sun Shao said vaguely: "She has been following us? ”

"Hmm." Guan Feng pursed his lips: "Her tracking methods are too clumsy, it's okay to deal with the prey, but it's still a little bad to deal with us." ”

Sun Shao was embarrassed, if he talked about martial arts alone, he was not far from Guan Feng, and he was even slightly better in strength, but in terms of experience, he was not as good as Guan Feng.

He turned around, no longer looking at the brute girl, and asked softly, "Is there anyone else?" ”

"I haven't seen it yet." Guan Feng didn't look at the barbarian girl either, but took out a palm-sized bronze mirror from his arms and looked at it in front of him, looking like he was touching up her makeup, but in fact, she was watching the barbarian girl's movements from the bronze mirror. The bronze was a little blurry and could only be roughly seen, and she said as she observed, "Judging from her look, she should be waiting for someone." ”

"Don't look at it, it's coming." Sun Shao's expression was grim, he looked at the dozen or so barbarians with knives and sticks running in the distance, and sneered: "These barbarians are so bold, in broad daylight, they dare to run wild with knives on the street." ”

While speaking, Shen Xuan and Zhang Qian also found a problem, Shen Xuan raised his eyebrows, pressed the head knife on his waist, and leaned over to Sun Shao, Zhang Xuan's face changed slightly, and his calmness just now became a little restrained, he rushed to Sun Shao's side, and said in a somewhat dry voice: "Young master, we ......"

"Don't worry." Sun Shao was calm, although there were more than a dozen people on the other side, and they looked aggressive, but when he swept his eyes, he knew that these people's martial arts skills were average, that is, the two old men in the lead were more stable. There are already three masters, as well as more than a dozen battle-hardened soldiers such as Zhao Sleeve, if this scene can't be handled, it will be too embarrassing.

After a while, the barbarian girl put down her burden and walked over with light steps, while the two old men who seemed to be the leader stepped aside and looked at Sun Shao and them vigilantly.

Sun Shao pouted and smiled, he didn't even bother to touch the knife on his waist, he just smiled and watched the barbarian girl walk up to him.

"Excuse me, Pavilion...... The next is Wu ...... A native of Wu County? The brute girl smiled, her face was a little pale, and the originally soft Wu language was a little strange by her, and she could barely hear what she said. When she bowed her head, her shoulders and bodice were loosened a little, revealing white skin that was different from her bare arms, and Sun Shao saw clearly this time, she had a tattoo on her chest, as if it was some kind of animal, with a long tail.

"Who are you, how can you speak Wu?" Sun Shao gently put the black pottery bowl on the rough wooden case and asked quietly.

"The little girl was originally from Wu." The barbarian girl glanced at Guan Feng, Shen Xuan and the others who were waiting next to her, licked her lips, and looked a little nervous: "The little woman's surname is Bai, and her maiden name is Yanyan, she was originally from Fuchun, and she crossed the sea with her family to Yizhou ten years ago. ”

"Really?" Sun Shao asked lightly, his eyes swept over Bai Yanyan's face, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Are you from Fuchun?" ”

"Exactly." Bai Yanyan's face turned even redder, and her eyes brightened as she looked at Sun Shao: "When I heard the local voice just now, the little woman was quite happy, so she dared to follow." Excuse me, can your surname be Sun? ”

"You know me?" Sun Shao was stunned for a moment.

"I don't know you, but my father may have an old relationship with Ling Zun." Bai Yanyan replied softly, moved forward, and bowed again. Guan Feng snorted and took a step forward, separating Bai Yanyan and Sun Shao silently with the ring-headed knife in his hand.

"Lingzun is?"

"My father was one of the boy scouts under the rebel general." Bai Yanyan's eyes were red, and her voice was a little choked.

"Boy Scouts?" Sun Shao was taken aback, stood up straight, and asked with a little respect, "Dare to ask Ling Zun's name." ”

"Childe is ......" Bai Yanyan raised her teary eyes and looked at Sun Shao with some surprise.

"In Xia Sun Shao, the rebellious general is my father." Sun Shao said a little anxiously, he is very interested in the Boy Scouts now, and he is thinking about Yizhou, when he suddenly saw the old Boy Scouts in Yizhou, it was like a big pie falling from the sky, which made him excited: "Can you tell the Honorable Names?" ”

"It turned out to be a young master." Bai Yanyan's voice trembled, her legs were weak, and she fell forward softly. Sun Shao was about to step forward to help, but Guan Feng took the first step in front of him and reached out to help Bai Yanyan up. Bai Yanyan stood up, Ying Ying bowed, thanked Guan Feng, and then cried: "My father was the young general who followed the rebellious general to fight Tai Shici, after the rebellious general died, he was grief-stricken, his eyes were broken by crying, and he could no longer fight on the battlefield, so he retreated to business, and moved his family to Yizhou ten years ago......"

Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, Qu A junior general? He didn't have any impression of this person at all, but looking at Bai Yanyan like this, there shouldn't be any fake, he patted Guan Feng's shoulder, signaled her not to be nervous, and asked the people next to him to put away their weapons, pointed to those people in the distance and said to Bai Yanyan: "They all came with you?" ”

"Exactly, they are all subordinates of their father, because they are all barbarians in Yizhou and are not educated, so they dare not let them come to see the young master." Bai Yanyan said, pulling out a short knife from her back waist, Guan Feng saw it, her eyes froze, and she was about to step forward. Bai Yanyan smiled bitterly, took a step back, knelt on one leg and raised the knife high with both hands: "This is the short knife given to my father by the rebellious general back then, please check it by the young master." ”

Guan Feng took the knife from her hand and handed it to Sun Shao with his backhand, but his eyes were still staring at Bai Yanyan vigilantly. Sun Shao glanced at Bai Yanyan, stretched out his hand to take the short knife, holding the scabbard that had been worn out so that he couldn't see the pattern in one hand, and holding the handle of the knife in the other, he slowly pulled out the short knife. There was a faint fishy smell on the short knife, and it seemed that it had killed countless people. There is also a faint pattern on the knife, which is very blurry, and it is impossible to see what it is.

"This is ......" Sun Shao pointed to the pattern and looked at Bai Yanyan inquiringly. Bai Yanyan stood up, took a step forward, took the knife and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Doesn't the young master know this pattern?" ”

Sun Shao shook his head blankly, and Bai Yanyan smiled: "This is the military emblem of the Boy Scouts back then, young master, please take a look." Saying that, she walked past Guan Feng naturally with a knife, walked in front of Sun Shao, raised the knife and prepared to explain to Sun Shao, her red lips opened slightly, but her eyes suddenly became extremely fierce, her wrist flipped, she held the short knife tightly, and stabbed at Sun Shao suddenly.

The incident happened suddenly, and no one expected that Bai Yanyan, who was still teary-eyed just now, suddenly changed her face, and even the most vigilant Guan Feng was a little caught off guard for a while. She saw that Sun Shao and Bai Yanyan were talking affectionately, and Sun Shao was excited, so she believed Bai Yanyan's words, thinking that she was really a descendant of Sun Ce's Boy Scouts, so when Bai Yanyan passed by her, she didn't resolutely stop her. Now that Bai Yanyan is hurting people, she can't stop it even if she wants to, so she can only watch Bai Yanyan hold a knife in both hands, gritting her teeth and stabbing at Sun Shao.

At the same time as Bai Yanyan drew his knife and stabbed violently, more than a dozen barbarians standing in the distance shouted, and at the same time pulled out their swords and rushed towards Shen Xuan and them viciously. Shen Xuan, Zhao Sleeve and the others shouted, drew their swords out of their sheaths, met them, and fought together in a blink of an eye.

It was too late, it was too late, the short knife in Bai Yanyan's hand had already stabbed Sun Shao's chest, she shouted angrily, and her originally delicate face became extremely hideous.
