Chapter 257: Stepping into the Land of Silk

Start anew and embark on the vast road to the north. The four of them have a deeper and deeper sense of the season.

A few months ago, when I was in the country, the temperature was still very high at noon, and it was enough to put a thin shirt over my summer clothes.

When he returned to Yaoguo, he only needed to wear clothes of ordinary thickness to withstand the frost of late autumn.

But since stepping into the territory of the country, the four of them have been armed all over their bodies, and they are just like leather hats, leather coats, and leather boots!

Also, the time for the four of them to walk all this way is not short, and it took almost a month and a half to step into the territory of the country.

This is to be put on hold in modern times, but a few hours of airplane, but in ancient times, it was a month and a half away!

Of course, four of them stayed for a lot of time because of such and such things, so they were stunned to walk more than half of the month's journey.

Seeing that at the end of October of the lunar calendar, everything became gloomy. The vast grassland lost its color and was desolate.

On this day, the wind and sand were very strong, and Xiang Zixi and Xiao Fat had to cover their faces with veils to cover the sand particles blowing from the Gobi Desert.

"Let's take a break!" Xin Zeyang stopped the carriage and said to the three women in the car: "We are taking a short road, and walking through this Gobi can save a lot of time." ”

Xiang Zixi nodded, took off his veil and said, "Yes, crossing the Gobi is not as good as walking through the city, and it is particularly troublesome to find water sources here!" So we have to have enough water and food. Let's go down for a walk, and by the way, enjoy the unique scenery of this country! In fact, watching the sunset on the Gobi Desert is a very beautiful thing! ”

Xiao Feifei asked in surprise: "Miss, look at what you said, as if you have been here!" ”

Xiang Zixi grimaced at her and said, "Yes, yes, I don't know how many times I've been here in my dreams!" It's fascinating! ”

Little Chubby jumped out of the carriage, stuffed all the valuable things into the baggage, and said to Xiang Zixi: "It seems to be a market in front, let's go over and have a look!" ”

Immediately, the four men led the carriage towards the market in the distance. After passing through a tavern that was simply supported by wood, Xin Zeyang handed over the carriage to Xiao Er and followed the three women into the tavern.

In this northern country, except for people who come and go, it is rare to see women from the south.

Therefore, when Xiang Zixi and Little Fat Fat stepped into the tavern, everyone's eyes fell on the three of them at once.

"Wow! Beauty! A few strangely dressed and sturdy men in the crowd shouted in surprise: "The man's woman is really smart!" I like it! ”

Xiao Fat Xiao Chubby was just about to get angry, Xiang Zixi grabbed the two people, shook his head slightly, and said to Xiao Er: "Prepare a table for me!" ”

"Okay!" Xiao Er took Xiang Zixi and the other four to a free table in the corner, wiped the table and chairs with the towel around his neck, and beckoned, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Give us a pot of good wine, and three catties of cooked meat, if you have any good dishes!" Xiang Zixi pinched a small ingot of silver in his finger and put it on the table: "For the rest, prepare some flatbread for me, and make it new!" I don't want stale goods! ”

Xiao Er happily put the silver into the palm of his hand and shouted, "Gotcha!" Four later, right away! ”

With that, Xiao Er retreated inside and glanced at the boss. That means everyone in the industry knows, that is, this is a fat sheep!

This little second brother looked at Zi Xi and his party, a teenager and three women, and he was generous, he must be a rich master! If you don't slaughter such a fat sheep, who will slaughter it?

At this time, a man wearing only a sheepskin jacket, exposing his chest, and carrying a necklace made of sheep bones staggered in the direction of Zixi. The man had a large shaved head, shiny and shiny, and in his right ear he wore three large earrings, which were shiny. He wore a pair of hemp rope tied around his waist, a bright scimitar pinned to the hemp rope, a pair of fat pants similar to the shape of cropped pants, and a pair of cowhide boots that covered his ankles.

The man sat opposite Xiang Zixi, and said drunkly: "It is said that the women in the south, especially the women in Yaoguo, all have snow and skin like clotted fat, I have only heard of it before, but I have never seen it with my own eyes, but now when I see it, it really deserves its reputation!" The woman in the desert is really petite! ”

Little Fat and Little Fat glared, and was about to get angry, but was gently pressed under the table by Xiang Zixi.

Now that they have arrived in the country of Ling, they can endure everything they can.

Xin Zeyang listened to the man being so frivolous, and became even more angry, and wanted to stand up several times, but was pressed the table by Xiang Zixi with his foot.

Xiang Zixi glanced at the appearance of the big man, and suddenly his tone changed, and he said it in a strange language. The drunken man originally wanted to continue laughing, but after hearing Xiang Zixi's words, he stood up all of a sudden as if he had seen a ghost, and after answering a few words in that strange language in a panic, he snorted coldly to Zixi, and said another word, this time the man became completely uncalm, knelt down and kowtowed to Xiang Zixi, turned around and ran away!

This time, not only Xiao Fei Xiao Chubby and Jin Haoxuan were strange, but even everyone else looked at Xiang Zixi with curiosity. I don't know what she just said, but she sent that man away in just a few words!

"Nothing! I just asked him, which tribe is it from! Xiang Zixi shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent: "Then I told him that I was the king's guest!" ”

A group of people looked at Xiang Zixi as if they were looking at monsters, and Xin Zeyang looked even more incredulous: "You, how can you speak such strange language?" ”

Xiang Zixi shrugged his shoulders: "Then what's there?" I've learned! ————”

Xiang Zixi suddenly remembered that she was bored by accident in her previous life, so she learned some Mongolian from her anonymous college classmates, but she never expected it to come in handy in this world! When I left the organization, I made a set of fake identity and fake information out of boredom, and was admitted to a national university.

Xiao Feifei said in surprise: "But now the four countries are all unified languages, when did Miss learn such a strange language, why don't we know at all?" ”

Xiang Zixi smirked, yes, how can you explain this? She looked forward to Ai Ai for a long time, and her eyes widened: "Anyway, I just know a little, what's wrong?" Although the four Chinese languages are now unified, in the upper echelons of the Minguo Kingdom, the real nobles speak Mongolian, not the language we speak now! So, I'll order as much as I want! ”

Xin Zeyang couldn't help but shake his head: "There are too many incredible things in you!" ”

Little Fat Fat Little Fat nodded and said, "That's it!" Miss always has so many things to hide from us! Miss, really! ”

Xiang Zixi was silly: "Okay, okay, I'll tell you in the future!" ”

At this time, the dishes on the table were served one after another. The little two who were going to attack Zi Xi suddenly became respectful, and his attitude was so respectful that it made people uncomfortable. Xiao Er's enthusiasm just now came from commercial politeness, but now he is respectful, but he is afraid from the bottom of his heart!

The boss wiped a cold sweat in the back! It's dangerous! In case you steal a big nobleman, let alone your own small shop, I'm afraid that I won't be able to save the lives of my family!

Xiang Zixi, as a senior thief, found that something was wrong when he entered the door, but he was too lazy to change places, and just through the man who was not long-eyed, he revealed his identity in the clouds. It can be regarded as knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger!

Sure enough, after this meal, there was no one to come over to look for trouble, and the four of them finished the meal peacefully.

After packing up the pancakes sent by the boss, Xiao Feifei carried it all on his back, and the four of them walked slowly outside.

As soon as he went out, the man who had just been retreated by Xiang Zixi suddenly knelt outside the door, and said respectfully: "The little one has eyes and no beads, and he collided with the nobleman, and please punish the nobleman!" ”

Xin Zeyang frowned slightly: "We have already forgiven you, you can go!" ”

The man's whole body suddenly trembled slightly, and he fell to the ground in fear, and said inexplicably in fear: "Your honor, I beg your grace!" ”

Xiang Zixi said lightly: "Get up!" As punishment, let you follow us around here! If someone dares to come up and disturb, you should know what to do, right? ”

"Yes!" The man cried out in surprise, and almost burst into tears.

Xiang Zixi explained to the other three people in a low voice, "In the Ling Kingdom, the distinction between the status of nobles and commoners is obvious! The aristocracy has the right to dispose of the commoners at will! And as long as the commoners collide with the nobles, then they will definitely die! So, this man was rude to me just now, and according to the law, I can execute him or even his family at any time! ”

Little Fat Fat Little Fat opened her mouth wide: "How is it possible?" How can there be such a domineering law! ”

"Yes! This is the special law that belongs to the country! Xiang Zixi sighed lightly and said, "Most of the land here is barren, and the people are mainly nomadic. Therefore, everyone here is brave and good at fighting, regardless of men, women and children, as long as they step on the war horse, they are warriors! Under such a strong folk style, if there is no strong hand, it is not a common thing for the people to revolt? That's why it's what it is now. Perhaps, this is the best way to manage the country. But in the long run, it may not be the most suitable. In fact, now the drawbacks have begun to emerge temporarily, and the contradictions between the nobles and commoners in the country are constantly intensifying. And it is precisely for this reason that the whole country will decide to start a war, first, to use war to consume the population and calm the contradictions. Second, the huge gains brought by the war can temporarily ease tensions in the country. Why not do something that kills two birds with one stone? ”
