Chapter 4: Returning to Silla (Part II)
A new day has begun, and the bazaar of the trading ground is as lively as ever, with people coming and going, one after another. Several merchants dressed in different costumes came to the bazaar at the agreed time. Deman also came from a street to meet them, but was pulled by Qisu:
"Hey, kid, you've got a job for me." Qisu's face was not depressed.
"Hehe, I forgot, okay, you can come along!" Deman smiled ashamedly, after all, he had been entrusted by someone to forget about this matter.
When they arrived at the bazaar, Deman asked everyone to come with her, but Qisu stopped her: "Oh, boy! ”
"Ahh Deman let out a shameful smile again, and she forgot about it again. "Uncle Catan! You just need to find Uncle Catan. ”
Catan looked back at Deman.
"Uncle Catan, Uncle Catan, this uncle ......, what is your name, uncle?"
"In Xiaqiju!"
"Ahh Uncle Qisu is very strong in martial arts, and he wants to be the guard of the merchant group. Deman introduced Qisu with a little hesitation, after all, she had never seen Qisu's skills. Catan looked confused when she called him, and when he heard Deman's introduction, he stared at Deman with deep meaning, he had never seen Deman so unconfident, and decided to try his skills himself. Katan hugged Qisu and patted him on the body, Qisu was very upset and didn't know what he meant by this. What's more, even the butt was patted, which was very insulting. Qisu turned sideways and wanted to draw his sword.
"Uncle Qisu, this is Uncle Catan's etiquette, please don't be angry." Deman said with a busy smile, for fear that Qisu would really draw his sword and use force.
"Well, it looks like Qisu's body is very good, and his skills are also good." Catan smiled and said, "You can come to me tomorrow." ”
"Okay." Qisu understood that this was a test of his skills, his face softened, and he watched a group of people walk into the nearby courtyard and followed, on the one hand, he wanted to see what ideas this kid had for these people, and on the other hand, because he was already the guard of the merchant group, he left a good impression on the patron in advance.
"Deman, tell us quickly!" As soon as he entered the hospital, the bearded man couldn't wait to ask.
Deman didn't speak, but walked a few steps into the courtyard, stopped where a pile of felt cloth was covered, lifted the felt cloth, and a stack of bricks appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Look, tea bricks!" Deman was smug, his arms folded, his face tilted. "This is your tea, made of such bricks, also known as brick tea."
"Great, so that no one will find out, Deman is amazing." Everyone was talking about it, and Qisu also felt that this kid was too smart.
"But what do you do when you drink it?" The black Persians raised questions.
"No, that's it!" As soon as Deman broke his hands, the brick corners fell off, so that small pieces of tea could be brewed and drunk. The merchants of various countries in the courtyard were very excited, but they did not know that the government was already searching for tea sellers everywhere, and danger was about to come.
Hearing the movement of officers and soldiers shouting outside the door, everyone covered the tea bricks with straw and blocked them side by side, and the officers and soldiers rushed in and asked, "What are you doing?" Search! ”
Taking advantage of everyone's block, Deman took out the fire beads from his pocket, adjusted the angle of the light, and aimed it at the straw on the pile of tea bricks, and soon smoke came out behind him. The soldiers rummaged through and messed up a lot of things, and Blazing Fire and Xiuzhen came out, and it turned out that this was the backyard of the inn.
"What is this for, making such a mess." Xiuzhen asked, but no one answered.
"What about Deman? Deman? Where's Deman? "The fire has a psychological fear of the soldiers, and it seems extremely restless. Suddenly, the tea was lit, the fire rose, and she recalled the scene when she was trapped in the cave by fire in order to save Deman, and her body immediately trembled and lay on the ground convulsions.
"Mother......" Deman rushed out of the crowd. The fire was together, everyone was putting out the fire, and the tea was also soaked, and the scene was very chaotic.
"Arrest them all!" The chief of officers and soldiers gave orders.
Yuxian was busy in the small oasis, and he saw the dust rolling in the distance, which seemed to be on the road to the city. As the local consul, the prince is not virtuous, and depending on the situation, who has been arrested. Yuxian sighed, in the last years of the Sui Dynasty in history, the court was turbulent and the people were struggling to make a living. Suddenly he had a bad premonition, but something happened to Deman or his sisters, he felt that the matter here was almost over, and he could go back in the evening.
As night fell, Yuxian returned to the inn after finishing his work, only to hear the news that everyone had been captured. He decided to leave overnight and go to the city to find a way, where not only his sister but also his beloved Deman lived.
At this time, Deman and his party were thrown on the desert camp, she held her mother and looked at the night sky blankly, not knowing what was waiting for her tomorrow, but she had a thought in her heart, she must live and save her mother.
The day dawned and the officers shouted at him and hurried away, and the fire was pushed to the ground, and Deman's loud shouts could not stop him from going to the city. She was anxious about how to save her mother. Qisu was also secretly planning whether to break through the shackles, and this little wooden flail couldn't trap him. But in the face of so many innocent people, he knew that as long as he escaped, they would all die, so he decided to take a look.
The new king is very fond of killing, and when he heard that another prisoner had arrived, he immediately changed his clothes and interrogated him. He enjoyed the pleasure of this power, and it was a great satisfaction to interrogate the prisoner, torture him, and finally kill him. The prisoner brought this time did not disappoint him even more, and a young prisoner was very interesting, and even said that he "cannot be a good emperor if he does not listen to the words of the people." "How can these foolish people know what an emperor is. I finally struggled out of the whirlpool of power in Kyoto, and I was able to control the people without losing my life, so how could I not make good use of it? He still asked them to choose a way to survive from two chess pieces engraved with the word "death", but this time, he miscalculated, this young prisoner actually swallowed a chess piece, as a prince, how can he be untrustworthy? He could only tell everyone that the little prisoner chose to "live" and let them go.
When everyone was excited about Deman's witty choice of the word "sheng", Binghuo unconsciously muttered a sentence in Jilin language: "Your Majesty, Binghuo has failed your trust!" It caught the attention of Shichijuku, who was close.
By the time Yuxian found the palace in the castle, Deman and his party had already been released. He later heard about Deman's wit and bravery, and when he saw them released, he felt useless and failed to protect his sisters and Deman.
With everyone's help, the fire was cured, and Deman told him and Yuhyun why he couldn't go to Silla. She sensed that Silla had her relatives------ but he couldn't put that feeling into words.
