Chapter 338: Fooling Around
When the little beggar heard that the caravan was going to Yue's, he was a little emotionally out of control and said: "I'm not going to Yue's country, I'm going back to Kankan City, can you tell me, where is Kankan City here, and how long can I go?" ”
Moro glanced at Liu Yu curiously, and then looked at the little beggar, probably thinking that the two brothers and sisters had a unique way of acting, and sighed: "Kankan City? Isn't it the capital of the country of Qiuzi? has been captured by the flower devils, the king and his three, five or seven concubines, many sons and daughters, I don't know if Lu Dao is dead, or has become a slave of the flower devils, according to me, the flower devils will definitely slaughter Kankan City! You still don't want to go. ”
Massacre of the city?
Liu Yuxin said, no wonder Moro ran faster than rabbits, it turned out that the Khorezm people acted so ruthlessly, and they used the method of slaughtering the city to conquer the city, isn't that a fight with the later Mongolian cavalry? Seeing Jason's nervous appearance, it was obviously because he also knew the style of the Khwarazm people that he was forced to be paid by Moro Pit.
"Mr. Jason, why did the Khorats slaughter the city?" While Moro ran to instruct the caravan, Liu Yu asked Jason.
"It's complicated, the Khwarats don't believe in God, they say, there's another god in heaven, it's their god, they say that's their God. My God, they must be crazy. The people of the country of Qiuzi did not believe that there was a God in heaven, let alone that there were two gods, oh, so they fought! ”
Jason doesn't speak Chinese very well, he doesn't have many words to know the Tao, and the explanation is very unclear, Liu Yu guesses that it should be a war of faith.
The further west you go, the more people believe in Islam, and the people in the Western Regions generally believe in Buddhism. Differences in beliefs were considered irreconcilable contradictions in this era. It's a very unpleasant thing for the gods you worship to be questioned by others. And so the war began.
Liu Yu just nodded after listening to Jason's words, while the little beggar seemed a little excited, and she wanted to run away with her legs, maybe she didn't even know where Kankan City was.
Liu Yu grabbed her and said, "What are you going to do?" Those flower devils will slaughter the city! ”
"I'm going to find my relatives, I'm going to find my grandfather, we're the closest people in my world! You thief, don't pull me! ”
Liu Yu felt that it was not good to let a girl who was emotionally out of control go to death. So he also carried forward his style, and directly hugged the waist of the little beggar with both hands, and the two of them were wrestling with each other, Moro came over and asked curiously: "Oh, young people from the Central Plains, what are you doing?" ”
"Our original destination was Kankan City, but now it seems that we can't go, Brother Moro, have you thought of a way to enter the Yue Clan's country?" Liu Yu slapped the little beggar. His face hurt hotly, and the little beggar squatted on the ground. Crying there, emotions are out of control.
"There's no way!" Moro spread his hands and said anxiously, "What can I do about this?" Flower devils, they will be killed at any time. ”
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Brother Moro, Mr. Jason, I have a way to enter the Yue Clan's country. ”
Moro was pleasantly surprised: "Do you have a way?" Great, hurry up and say I'll pay you well! ”
"I don't want you to be paid, but I want you to give me a caravan and take me back to the Central Plains!"
Moro said with an unhappy face: "Young man, in the words of you Central Plains people, you are ...... Toast and don't eat and drink, I think, your conditions are too harsh, I won't agree, the caravan is my life, I will never give it to you to take risks, from here to the Central Plains, there are wars everywhere, and my caravan will be gone. ”
Liu Yu didn't expect that Moro would feel sorry for his caravan at this time, so he changed his words: "How about four hundred sheepskins?" ”
Moro didn't think about it and said, "Deal!" ”
Seeing that Liu Yu had already negotiated the conditions with Moro, Jason walked over and said, "I'll give you two hundred gold coins." ”
Liu Yu and Moro both looked at Jason curiously, as if they were asking, "Do you still have two hundred gold coins?" After the last moment, Liu Yu sighed and said, "Give me back my telescope." At this life-threatening moment, Jason would not skimp on a telescope, so he had to agree.
Liu Yu dragged the little beggar in front, and Morojason and the people of the caravan followed behind, curiously watching Liu Yue approach the border pass of the Yue Clan, and before he reached the pass, Liu Yu was stopped by a large group of soldiers. One of the soldiers who took the lead said a lot of chirping birds, and Liu Yu turned his head to look at the little beggar and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
The little beggar parted his head and continued to cry. Moro came over and said, "He said that the Yue Clan does not welcome caravans from other countries and does not allow us to enter. ”
Liu Yue asked curiously: "Brother Moro has never been to the Yueshi to do business before?" ”
Moro said helplessly: "The country of the Yue Clan is very chaotic internally, there are many people such as Sanwuqi and others, there are many, many people, and they rarely have contact with people outside, people in their country don't need money to buy things, they use shells, this kind of thing can't be spent as money at all." When a caravan enters their country, it will be considered bewitched by them, caught by them, and beheaded. ”
When Liu Yu heard this, he felt that the Yueshi was an extraordinary country, and he wondered if this was the same country as the Yueshi in the Western Han Dynasty.
Moro added: "The Yue Clan is very unfriendly to the outside world, they only have one good friend country, which is Loulan, but unfortunately we are not Loulan people!" ”
Qiuzi, Yueshi, Loulan, and Khorezm, who are invading Qiuzi, Liu Yuxin said that he really came to a good place, all of them are famous countries in the Western Regions, and they are a country of the times?
"Brother Namoro translate it for me." Liu Yu stepped forward, raised his head and said to the soldier leader, "Go in and tell your king, I am an envoy sent by the Dashun Dynasty, I, Su Wu, am going to enter the city now, you must let you go!" ”
Mo Luo looked at Liu Yu and said in surprise: "Young man, aren't you called Han Sheng?" ”
"Translate for me, don't worry so much." Liu Yu said to Moro.
Moro probably thought that Liu Yue was talking nonsense, and his tone was not as arrogant as Liu Yue when he spoke, but after he finished speaking, the soldier obviously did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly left a sentence and went into the city. Moro smiled faintly and said, "He said that he was going to ask the city lord, and we have hope." ”
Taking advantage of the time to wait, Liu Yu also wanted to try to make himself more like, when Su Wu was herding sheep on the grassland, he still had a document and a scepter for customs clearance, of course, this may be a rumor, but it gave Liu Yu a reminder, how can he become an envoy without a token? At least get a dragon head cane or something like that. It seems that the handrails of the carriage he rode on were very good, and the wood was very finely carved and lifelike like a tiger.
"There is no dragon head cane, and the tiger head cane is okay!"
Liu Yu also took out the knife immediately and began to cut the deputy hand by himself.
"Young man, what do you do? Don't destroy my things! Moro hurriedly ran over and said distressedly.
Penny pincher!
Liu Yuxin scolded secretly, and explained his intentions to Moro and Jason, and when Moro knew that Liu Yue was looking for a token to make the Yueshi people believe, he was reluctant to say: "If you want to cut, just cut one is enough, and the one over there will be left for me!" ”
The armrests of the tiger head are symmetrical.
"How can this be done, if it is seen, will it not be exposed? That can't be left either! ”
Taking away Moro's miser's thing is like killing him, Moro is very reluctant to look at the tiger head handrail being taken away by Liu Yu and destroyed one, and he is distressed, Liu Yue saw his dead father's expression, and said in his heart that it would be strange if you could cash in the four hundred sheepskins.
There are handrails, and you also need to clear the paper, this is not difficult, there are four treasures of the Central Plains study room in Moro, Liu Yu picked up the pen himself, wrote a copy according to the format of the paper, and then rubbed it twice in the mud to make the paper look very old. However, there were difficulties in the seal, and in such a hurry, it was impossible to carve a seal related to the official government or the royal family of the Shun Dynasty.
"Use this!"
At this time, Jason's treasure chest played his role, it turned out that there were still some messy seals in Jason's box, Liu Yue couldn't understand those ancient characters, so he casually found a big one, put it on the paper, and a big red mark appeared. That's how a homemade clearance document is complete.
"Young man, you really have a way." Moro looked at Liu Yu, still with some suspicion in his eyes, "In this way, is it really possible?" ”
"Listen to me, you will only be responsible for translating for a while, don't talk too much, don't be seen through." As far as he knows, at least in the past few decades, the Shun Dynasty court has not sent envoys to the Western Regions, and these people should not understand the characteristics of the envoys in the Central Plains, so it is not difficult to fool.
Liu Yu took a tiger head cane wrapped in delicate silk and walked to the city pass, and soon, a solemn middle-aged mustache came out of it and came under the escort of a team of guards. Originally, I paid a lot of attention to it, but what I saw was not the envoys of the Dashun Dynasty wearing official uniforms, but a group of business travelers, and the face of the middle-aged mustache was obviously cold.
The person who came was the lord of the Yue Clan.
"You're Nakahara...... Person? The middle-aged mustache asked in very stiff Chinese.
"That's right, I'm the envoy representative of the Great Shun Dynasty, and Su Wu is also!" Liu Yu said in a swaggering tone.
The middle-aged mustache couldn't understand it, but unfortunately none of the people next to him understood Chinese, but fortunately, Moro understood the language of the Yue Clan and translated it for them, and the city lord turned to ask, and Moro translated it again: "He asked why you walked with us people." ”
"Tell him that my envoy was harassed by the Turkic cavalry on the way, and suffered heavy casualties, and that only I survived, and I was fortunate to have the help of you caravans to get here. My purpose this time is to cooperate with the people of the Western Regions on the order of the Emperor of the Great Shun Dynasty to fight against the Turks together! ”
Waiting for Moro to bring the words over, the middle-aged mustache put away his arrogance, after all, what Liu Yu said is decent and reasonable, after all, it is true that the Shun Dynasty is at war with the Turks, and the war has not yet been extinguished.
Liu Yu handed over the tiger head cane and Wen Mu, the middle-aged mustache looked dazed, he didn't know what these two things represented, in a cautious attitude, the mustache had to let them go for the time being, but there was an explanation, along the way, there must be someone from the city lord to escort them into the capital of the Yue Clan, to prevent them from being Turkic or Khorezmian spies.
I don't worry that they are the spies of the Shun Dynasty, it is because the army of the Shun Dynasty has never been to the Western Regions. (To be continued......)
