Chapter 363: Home Away
Timur was a stranger to the Loulan people, but she was beside the envoys of the Shun Dynasty, and what she spoke represented was the position of the envoys of the Shun Dynasty. After Timur finished speaking, the Loulan people present were all surprised, even if the food was not delicious, it couldn't be so straightforward, after all, it was carefully prepared by the Loulan people.
Liu Yu glanced at Timur and didn't speak, in fact, he felt that Timur revealed what he wanted to say. This salted fish can marinate the tongue painfully, and the fish is not fresh, how can it be regarded as "Central Plains cuisine"?
Bruhan asked cautiously, "Does the envoy think it's not to taste?" It's okay, we have other dishes ......"
Seeing that Bruhan was about to greet the food again, Liu Yue considered the complete consideration of his tongue and hurriedly asked, "Is there beef and mutton?" It's the kind that you Loulan people often eat, and you don't need to be elaborate on the method, you can just eat it. ”
At first, it was just that the female entourage around the envoy of the Shun Dynasty said something unpalatable, and Bruhan didn't think anything about it, but now Liu Yue said that he also thought that the food used to entertain him was difficult to swallow, and he didn't give face to the people of Loulan. Bruhan looked a little annoyed, and said, "The envoy can't help but understand the enthusiasm of our Loulan people. ”
Liu Yu waved his hand and said: "This is not the intention of the envoy, in fact, in Loulan, I want to experience the food culture of the Loulan people, and I hope to bring these back to the Central Plains with the footsteps of the next in the future." In the words of our Central Plains people, follow the customs. ”
"What the envoy said." Che Tu grabbed Bai Dao, "Tianzuo still hasn't prepared our Loulan's food for the envoys?" ”
Chetu was very afraid that Liu Yu would say something that would damage the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and just now she found out that Liu Yu was tortured by the enthusiasm of the Loulan people, and the envoy of the Shun Dynasty herself was also "kidnapped" by her. Now Liu Yue can say such remarks that are in line with the diplomatic relations between the two countries. Didn't smash the field. It's kind of a lot of face.
Chetu is a national teacher, the official rank is higher than Bru Khan, after Chetu finished speaking, Bru Khan asked the cook to prepare beef and mutton and other food, and in the spare time of waiting, Loulan people prepared a new "program" for Liu Yu.
Bruhan said: "We Loulan people know that the envoys of the Shun Dynasty are coming to our country, and we all hope to show our talents in front of the envoys. Today, if you have the honor to make an envoy to appreciate your face, then ...... Da la la ......"
shouted and did not give Liu Yu a chance to refuse. A man with a big shoulder, a round waist, and a not tall figure but also a "mighty" man stepped forward.
The man was shirtless, his muscles trembling, as if a bodybuilder was showing his muscles to the audience, and at the same time several people carried up two heavy iron locks, the iron locks were carried as if they were very heavy, and as soon as the man stretched out his hand, the two iron locks were lifted up and raised above his head. There was a shout of joy among the people.
Although Liu Yu also had a little smile on his face, this smile was a little reluctant. This scene felt a little familiar to him, Chang'an City sells strong pills. Usually in the same shape as this "wrestler", if you finish lifting the stone lock, a profiteer will come out to sell pills. That's exactly the same.
Timur on the side said with a disdainful face after watching the performance: "Cut, our warriors of the grassland, can be lifted with a little finger." What's there to brag about? ”
Fortunately, Timur didn't speak loudly, drowned out by cheers, and only Liu Yu and Chetu could be heard. If it is heard by the people, it will inevitably be another destructive remark that will damage the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
After the wrestler finished the performance, Bruhan stepped forward happily and said, "What does the envoy think of our Loulan man's strength?" ”
Liu Yu was speechless, and said in his heart that just such a big man can represent all the men in Loulan?
"It's a lot of strength." Liu Yu could only say with the meaning, "If you change it, you can't do it." ”
"Of course, of course." Bruhan didn't know how to speak tactfully, and boasted with a smile, "Our Loulan men are as strong as the one just now, and they can fight well, and if the Shun Dynasty wants to form an alliance and not find Loulan, it is really visionless!" ”
It seems that Liu Yu is asking for an alliance with them Loulan.
After Bluhan finished speaking, Chetu's face was a little ashamed, in order to preserve the dignity of the envoy, she asked people to bring back yesterday to say that the envoy of the Shun Dynasty was coming, and did not mention how to "invite" Liu Yu back. In Bruhan's view, Liu Yu wanted to make a special trip to Loulan, which has already demonstrated the urgency of the Central Plains to form an alliance with Loulan, although Loulan also wants to make friends with the Shun Dynasty, but in the matter of alliance, Bruhan wants to make meritorious contributions, at least let the two countries sign the credentials on the principle of reciprocity.
Liu Yu on the side said "yes", but in his psychology, he was thinking that his strength was outstanding, which was really no different from the words of selling strong pills. Looking at the appearance of this Bruhan with a thin little white face, I knew that his strength was not very good, and it was estimated that he was the kind that was easy to get aback.
Next, Bruhan still prepared a lot of "programs", the focus of the performance was the civilization of Loulan Kingdom, and finally gave some small gifts, all of which were very delicate small objects, which were also thrown into Timur's burden by Liu Yu afterwards. From noon to dusk, the welcome banquet finally ended, and Chetu was in charge of sending Liu Yu and Timur back to the State Post House in Loulan City.
Liu Yu, who was finally no longer surrounded by people, felt relieved from his burnt forehead.
"You Loulan people, it's really terrible. On two occasions I saw myself being tortured to death. Before entering the gate of the National Post House, Liu Yu complained listlessly to Che Tu.
The rest of the past two days has not been good, and Liu Yu does not have much energy.
Chetu smiled: "Thank you for not demolishing the stage in public, I didn't expect Bruhan to prepare so many tricks." If you knew Lu Dao earlier, you would definitely remind him how you came to be this envoy. Before, I was worried that you would have a seizure in public, so that we Loulan people would not be able to get off the stage. ”
Liu Yu smiled, Chetu had witnessed how he had a "seizure" at the banquet of the Yue Clan, that kind of seizure could simply be said to be "frenzy", and he could even greet people with a smile in the bloody and brutal means. Now that he has been kidnapped, he is very honest, which makes it possible for the alliance between the two countries to be eased.
In the matter of forming an alliance, Liu Yu, as the kidnapper, also has the absolute initiative.
Loulan people's national post house is more elaborate than Yue's country, Loulan also specially prepared a room for Liu Yu, a big bed can sleep three or four people, bedding, tables, chairs and benches, wooden lattice window lattices, white window paper, are the specifications of the Central Plains people. It's more like an inn in the Central Plains. What's more, the place where Liu Yu settled is a three-story small building, and you can go upstairs along the wooden stairs to get a glimpse of the scenery of Loulan City.
Liu Yu went upstairs to see that the trees were shady and the flowers were splendid, and many towering round buildings in the city were the most conspicuous, just like the tulou in southern China, and a round building could live in many households. Only then did Liu Yu notice that the small building he was in was not a separate building, but several three-story buildings connected by corridors, as if he could visit the neighboring small building at any time.
There is a bed downstairs and a bed upstairs, just like Liu Yu's own small building.
The climate of Loulan is not dry, and the cool summer breeze blowing through the window is refreshing, and Liu Yue feels that he will not be unaccustomed to living here.
"Where do Gaochang's envoys live?" Liu Yu looked out of the window at the scenery and turned around and asked.
Che Tu said cautiously on his face: "The envoy of Gaochang will be arranged by us outside the city, so you don't want to collude with him and escape, now you are here to be a good guest, and our Loulan Kingdom will not treat you badly." ”
"You're kidnapping!" Liu Yu said with a sinking face.
"It's good to be kidnapped, the envoy has a tired journey, please rest early, and tomorrow I will take you into the palace after asking Her Majesty the Queen." Chetu said, "I will have someone send a change of clothes when I go back, in our country, there is no shortage of water, and you can take a bath if you want." ”
When Liu Yu heard that there was bath water, he finally stopped thinking about the kidnapping with a calm face, and hurriedly said: "Then hurry up and send the bath tub and bath water over!" ”
Along the way, except for wiping his body with water when he was in Yue's time, there was already a strange smell on his body. Being able to calm down and take a bath is really a rare enjoyment for Liu Yu.
At sunset and dusk, the entire Loulan City is in a jujube red, the scene of Luoxia and the lonely bird flying together is very pleasing to the eye, Liu Yumu sent Chetu downstairs to prepare what he wanted, and he also saw Bruhan coming over from a distance, as if he wanted to say something to Liu Yu.
Liu Yu didn't like this person when he saw Bruhan for the first time, and now he didn't want to entertain him when he saw him, but fortunately, Chetu understood what Liu Yu thought, and drove Bruhan away with a few words that Liu Yu didn't understand at the door, and then Chetu also went out. When he arrived at the gate of the National Post House, Liu Yue could see clearly from a high position, after all, Liu Yu had already retrieved the telescope from Jason. It's a pity that Liu Yue, who was peeping at Chetu, didn't see any intersection between her and Bruhan, and it seemed that Chetu also lacked a good impression of this little white face, which made Liu Yu feel very relieved.
When Timur carefully adhered to the inner edge of the wooden staircase, he cautiously climbed to the third floor step by step, and Liu Yue saw her walking carefully with her arms against the wall, and Liu Yue immediately realized that this little beggar was afraid of heights.
"What are you doing up there, not going down?" Timur climbed to the solid wood floor on the third floor, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground in fear.
"From here, you can see the scenery of the small half of Loulan Kingdom, the beautiful exotic scenery, how pleasing do you say?" Liu Yu stood at the window and looked out, turned around and asked, "Little beggar, are you afraid of heights?" ”
"Who said that?" Timur originally wanted to die, but Liu Yu stomped her foot heavily and made a sound, and she immediately compromised, "...... Just a little bit. ”
"It's not a bad thing to be afraid of heights, at least you won't be idle and go to high and dangerous places. You live downstairs, I sleep upstairs. Liu Yu said.
"That'...... Okay. I...... I'll go down first, and you can go down to me if you have something." Oh, I'll shout when I look for you, and I won't come up. Timur turned to go downstairs, but he lingered and did not dare to lower his legs.
It's easy to get up the ladder and hard to get down the ladder. Liu Yuxin said that this is not a rickety bamboo ladder, if the bamboo ladder Timur is frightened and steps into the air, he must really fall down.
"Sit down and go down one step at a time, and if your ass falls, you won't be so scared!" Liu Yu reminded.
It was only after a while that Timur finally moved a few stairs and his head disappeared from the hallway. At this time, the guards of the Guoyi Pavilion also brought the bath tub and bath water to Liu Yu. (To be continued......)
