Eighty-one

We were comfortably lying in a Western-style hammam, enjoying a Turkish bath.

The city of Barka is Persian-style, with domed buildings everywhere: round roofs arched by pointed columns. The inhabitants of the city wore beautiful Persian scimitars and robes, the women wore gold and silver jewelry, and the men wore handsome mustaches.

The queen of the sandworm was put away by me, we walked here, as soon as we entered the city, we did not hesitate to buy a large number of roast chicken, melons and fruits, food, and found a high-end bathhouse, we chartered two private rooms, we five men shared one, and Rose used one alone. In the steaming room, there are also a lot of delicious meals steamed with us.

"Boss, your way of eating is very novel, even if it is not baked, it is steamed here!" The Magic Flute grabbed a roast chicken and admired.

"That's, alas, if there's enough for Rose, if it's not enough, send some more." I'm also nibbling on a steamed tomato.

"Just kidding, who dares to send it!"

"Fang Ding, Fang Ding! ~~~ Fang Ding! ~~~”

"Don't shout boss, Fang Ding has already passed!"

"What! No way! ”

I raised my hand and wiped the glass with a towel, and Fang Ding was chatting happily with Rose in the hall. There were also one, two, three, four, five, six Persians beside them...... Strange, what are they doing?

Fang Ding pointed to our steaming room, and the six Persians walked towards us.

The door to the crunch steamroom was opened, and a man dressed as a Persian servant looked in amazement as we feasted in the heat.

"Good day, everyone, may I ask who is the original." He bent down and did the standard Persian etiquette.

"I am!" I replied as I nibbled on a tomato.

"Our master, Lord Baqiansa wants to see you."

"Huh? So why didn't he come in person? I asked casually.

"Ah, this ......," said the servant, sweating profusely, "if you see our master, you will probably know why he didn't come to see you in person...... He's right outside the door. ”

"Well, I'll go right away." I promised.

The servant stooped again in thanks, and then slowly withdrew, and when he closed the door, he straightened up and trotted all the way to the news.

Dizzy, is it that a dignitary wants to sign for me? When I first entered the city, our B.S team was recognized by many people, and they all rushed to get Aaron and Moses Magic Flute to sign their autographs, and now it's finally my turn haha, who said I don't have a market?

I rushed out of the steaming room with a bath towel draped, walked to the door in three or two steps, and grabbed a quill hanging on the wall.

Opening the door, I froze in place, and I finally knew why he didn't come to me in person.

Okay, this fat man, he wants to come in, but I'm afraid that his belly wider than the door frame is unwilling...... Is he a fan of mine?

"Hello, uncle!" I greeted politely.

He smiled and nodded at me.

Well, where is the signature, the signature, the signature, the name? I saw his white turban, and I reached out and tore it off, signing my name on it.

Seeing me pulling my headscarf, several attendants were about to draw their swords, but they were stopped by a look from the fat man.

"Here you go, uncle!" I sent back the bandana with my name signed, and the fat man took it with a smile and gave it to the attendant.

"Hello, my name is Baqiansa." The fat man said to me with a smile, and his beard shook twice.

I was about to turn around and go back to the shower, when he said this, and it seemed that there was something to come, so I turned around again and stared at his mustache and waited for the next step.

"That's right, I want to invite you and your friends to the house." He shook his mustache and continued.

"Oh?" I thought quickly, hahahaha, could it be another mysterious mission? It's just that there is no task, so it's good to mix up and eat.

"No problem, we'll go when we're done." I said yes, and seeing that Baqiansa had no intention of leaving, I had to say, "I'm going to get dressed......

Back in the room, I shouted, "Guys, come out!" Someone's in for a treat! If you want to have a big meal, hurry up! ~~~”

Brushing and brushing, three people came out of the steam room, two low and one high, and everyone quickly got dressed and walked out with me. Alas, the charm of the feast is truly extraordinary. Walking out of the door, there were already six sedan chairs waiting for us at the door, listening to the servants say that this is a sedan chair specially made by the lord of Baqiansa to be made temporarily, specially used to receive us distinguished guests from the East.

Sitting in a large sedan chair with a door curtain of precious stones, I couldn't help but sigh that this guy is really efficient. And I also understand why he found six servants to come to us, one of them accompanied the other, holding a pu fan to fan us, hehe, this fat man is really thoughtful.

The sedan chair was bumping and tumbling, and I felt as if I had returned to the years when I was bumpy on the back of a sandworm. My eyes narrowed, and I fell asleep.

……

When I opened my eyes again, we were already in a magnificent palace, where the Persian carpets were spread, the wine and food were on the table, and the beauties were on the side, and we felt as if we had arrived in a fairyland......

Drink a glass of red wine with ice cubes and the refreshing sensation runs from the throat to the abdomen. Grabbing a piece of roast mutton, I gnawed it with a big mouth, enjoying the exotic dance of the beauties below, enjoying the artificial fans of the maids around me, I had doubts about the identity of Baqiansa, he is so rich, could it be the lord of Barka City?

Thinking of this, I put down the mutton in my hand, clasped my hands into fists and said, "Lord Baqiansa, I don't know what you are doing when you invite the six of us here?" ”

Ba Qiansa hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Where am I the city lord, don't lift me up." I'm just an ordinary businessman. ”

Merchant? Ordinary? Even the dancing girls are covered with pearls and jade agate, this kind of style, where is an ordinary businessman.

Seeing my doubts, Ba Qiansa added, "Of course, my business is not small. This, as you know, is a specialty gem of our Barka City...... So it's no surprise that there are so many gems here. ”

It's not surprising, aren't gems money?

I laughed: "Sir, there are so many gems, which is enough to prove your noble status, don't be modest!" ~~”

Ba Qiansa sighed: "You don't know, these jade agate are very ordinary things in our place......"

"Then you sent it, it's a treasure over there." Aaron, who was munching on it, interjected.

Ba Qiansa smiled slightly: "Yes, this is the purpose of my search for you, and I would like to ask you a question, how did you get here?" ”

"How? From the desert. Aaron was asked a little inexplicably.

"That's right, the Desert of Death has never been crossed, and that's the main reason why we are isolated here in Barka City, with the sea on one side and the desert on the other......"

I reacted and hurriedly said; "Wait, you're saying there's no teleportation array here? Don't have a dragon transport station? ”

Baqiansa smiled bitterly: "There is a teleportation array, but it is only teleported back and forth within the country, and the dragon transportation station also has it, but we pay a lot of transportation fees, and no one is willing to run this road." The dragons often have no return, and they can't reach it safely after a hundred trips. There are also sea boats, but this area is windy and rough, and there is no return......"

I think back to the ironclad dragons that attacked us, and that's probably why.

I said to my companions with a sad face: "It's miserable, we want to go back, and we have to sit on sandworms." ”

Immediately, there was a lot of grumbling.

Baqiansa hurriedly asked, "You just said sandworms?" ”

I said, "Yes, King and Queen Sandworm, we rode it. ”

Baqiansa's eyes lit up suddenly, and he ran over in small steps, his big belly trembling. Sitting next to me, he asked anxiously, "The Queen of the Sandworm is the Lord of the Desert, how can she be willing to let you ride?" ”

I had nothing to do, and I told Baqiansa about the situation along the way.

Baqiansa listened and touched his mustache in admiration; "Adventure, adventure! It turns out that brother, do you know that you have made a fortune! ”

"Rich? You mean the meat of sandworms is expensive? ”

"Hey! Why don't you understand? The only problem we have in Balka City is this desert of thousands of kilometers, and few people have ever gone out for many years. Not only is the environment in the desert harsh, but there are also many monsters, you have the queen of sandworms, all this is solved! Think about it, the porcelain, silk, tea, etc. of the Central Plains were transported in through this road, and then the jade and agate treasure knife here were transported back......"

Hearing Baqiansa say this, my eyes lit up all of a sudden.

This, this, this is the legendary Silk Road!!

I immediately tidied up my clothes, stood up and said solemnly to Ba Qiansa, "I haven't consulted your chamber of commerce yet......

"Solomon Chamber of Commerce!"

"On behalf of the Black Sheep Chamber of Commerce in the Central Plains, I am willing to join hands with the Solomon Chamber of Commerce to open up this Silk Road!"

"Thank you...... Thank you...... I'm willing to work with you black sheep! Baqiansa excitedly stood up and shook hands with me and hugged me.

Everyone also stood up and applauded suddenly, and our cooperation heralded the opening of another important business channel between the East and the West.

For the next two days, we traveled all over the city of Barca under the leadership of Baqiansa. It seems that my judgment is indeed good, in the past two days, I have learned that Lord Baqiansa is the largest gem merchant in this area, and it is absolutely correct to cooperate with him!

On this day, just as we were steaming and gnawing in the steam room, Baqiansa appeared in front of us.

This is his steam room, and the doors are all made of double open, so he walks in.

"Everyone, it's been a good two days!"

"Haha, let's play, thank you, Master Baqiansa!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, just call me uncle!" When Ba Qiansa laughed, his mustache trembled, and his big belly trembled. I feel itchy to see it, when will I have such a mustache?

"Uncle, what's the matter?" I asked.

"The goods are ready, can we prepare to open the road?" Baqiansa said with a smile.

"No problem, let's get out of the way early tomorrow morning!" With a wave of my hand, it's time to go, it's not a problem to live here all the time.

"Okay! I'll let my servants prepare to salute!" Baqiansa ran out trembling all over.

……

The next day, the carriage sent us to the edge of the desert. If this Persian merchant had been a man of many salutes. He brought seven or eight merchants, several carts of jewelry, a cart of Persian knives, and a cart of Persian carpets...... Fortunately, the queen of sandworms is huge, and there is a follower of the king of sandworms.

"This, this is the Queen of Sandworms!" Baqiansa and a group of attendants looked in amazement at the Queen of Sandworms I had summoned, and the Queen of Sandworms was like a steam train in front of us.

"Hehe, uncle, get in the car!" I made a gesture of please.

"Well, don't worry, wait for me to transform!" Baqiansa touched his mustache and shouted.

"Someone's coming!"

"Yes!"

"Go, follow my previous plan No. 3!"

The servants immediately got busy, they brought in scaffolding, and quickly built a wooden platform on the body of the sandworm queen.

To say that the hands of these craftsmen are really skillful, the platform built can not only place goods, but also comfortable for people to sit on, and the design is extremely ingenious, which will not affect the movement of sandworms.

After the transformation of the Sandworm King, the Sandworm King was also pressed to the ground and transformed, and a house was built on its body.

"So, how about we sit on this one?" Baqiansa looked at me with a smile.

"No problem!" With a wave of my hand, I led everyone to the aggrieved Sandworm King.

There is no way, its wife is in my hands, it can only be at my mercy, and it has become another mount under my name......

Finally, we pulled out.

The Sandworm King led the way, and in the wooden house on his body sat our B.S team and Baqiansa.

The Sandworm Queen followed, full of cargo and a few attendants.

These two trains, "Toot! ~~~", they carry us, carry our hopes, drive in the golden desert, and open up this Silk Road one after another!
