Chapter 124: Thunderbolt Gunpowder
Located in front of the revetment, an ancient city is reflected on the river, the ancient city is more peculiar to build, and the defense towers built of many stones on the castle have a slight sign of ruins, which seems to have a long history, as if it has experienced the vicissitudes of life.
On the barge, a small fishing boat docked, and when the boat stopped. I saw a man on the boat quietly thinking: "What a city on the riverbank, very good, so that you don't have to worry about these gold and silver artifacts can't find a place to exchange, haha." ”
"Megumii, give me your hand, and I'll carry you up. Tang Fan said to the woman beside him.
Lou Huihui was wearing a light gray plain dress, her eyes glanced at the people coming and going around her, and she whispered: "Brother Tang Fan, don't do it, there are a lot of people, and they will be on their backs in the future!"
The little girl is afraid of shyness, this charming little lamb is too tempting, haha. Tang Fan smiled secretly and nodded: "Okay, I will be carrying the well-behaved Huihui in the future." ”
"Nasty bad big brother. Lou Huihui scolded shyly, her little mouth pursed, and she looked so cute. But he said, "Brother Tang Fan, what should I do with this box?"
Of course, I have to ask someone to move, how can I be willing to let you move.
"Hmm!" Lou Huihui bit her red lips tightly, and hurriedly stepped ashore, where did she dare to face her eldest brother.
"Hey, hey. Tang Fan smiled proudly, looked left and right, and saw that an uncle in front of him was pushing a wooden cart, so he shouted: "Hey, this uncle, please stop!"
A man stopped the wooden cart in his hand, turned his head and asked, "Childe, I don't know what's going on?"
Uncle, you see I have a box on my ship that needs to be transported to the city, I don't know you-
"Box?" The uncle glanced at the things in Tang Fan's finger and continued: "A silver knife!"
"Deal, uncle, then hurry up. ”
"Okay. When the uncle put the box on the wooden cart, he shouted, "Childe, let's go." ”
"Good. Tang Fan nodded and asked the woman beside him in a low voice, "Huihui, do you see if the sword behind me is completely wrapped in black cloth?"
"Well, the package is tight, don't worry. ”
With the lesson of the last time, Tang Fanna still dares to be public, and he has to be careful in the future, it seems that there are also masters, and he has to keep a low profile.
In this way, the two of them followed behind the uncle, and the three of them went to the ancient capital in front.
When he walked to the city gate, Lou Huihui looked up at the wall and read, "Sandu!"
"Sandu?"
Tang Fan looked up and said puzzledly: "Could it be that this place is an ancient capital, there should be a lot of cultural relics!"
"Relics?"
Hearing Tang Fan's words, Lou Huihui scratched his head and asked, "Brother Tang Fan, what are the cultural relics, is it a medicine name?"
Belch!!
Tang Fan almost rolled his eyes, this chick is so likable, she actually treats cultural relics as medicinal materials, haha. But think about it again, as a person from another world thousands of years later, why does Lao Tzu keep mentioning those.
He simply said, "Huihui, I'll explain to you slowly in the future!"
"This son, listening to what you just said, it's not the first time I've come to Sandu!" the uncle asked while pushing the wooden cart.
"What the uncle said is exactly that, when I first came here, I saw that this place was quite prosperous. ”
"Huh. After listening to Tang Fan's question, the uncle smiled and said: "Son, you don't know, Sandu has a long history, has a thousand-year-old culture, and has been used here as a place for soldiers for thousands of years, and even the Xiahou family of today's four great families is located here."
"What?" When he heard the uncle's words, Tang Fan's heart fluctuated a little.
Speaking of the four families, they have a pivotal position in Jiang Changguo, and all this is due to the fact that each of the four families has a world hegemony, and it has been at the top of Jiang Changguo for hundreds of years.
Speaking of this, the uncle sighed again: "Anyway, the four great families are very powerful, and we, the common people, are qualified to work for others." ”
"This?"
Tang Fan thought about it carefully, and analyzed from his uncle's words, it was the Tumen family in Tai'an, and now it was the Xiahou family in "Sandu", so where was the Ouyang family? And where was Duanmu Shihan's family?
While the uncle was pushing the wooden cart, Tang Fan asked softly in Lou Huihui's ear: "Huihui, do you know the four great families!"
"The Four Great Families?" Lou Huihui scratched his head and thought about it, and said: "I don't know much, but the Xiahou family and the Duanmu family know a little bit about it, and it is rumored that the Xiahou family specializes in what - thunderbolt gunpowder, there seems to be something that can explode very powerful, but I haven't seen it, I just heard about it."
As for the Duanmu family, according to legend, the Duanmu family has specialized in making weapons for hundreds of years, and many of the top ancient swords and artifacts in Jiang Changguo are from his family, and even the iron blades used by ordinary people on weekdays are inseparable, and the specifics are not very clear.
"Isn't it?"
Hearing Lou Huihui say this, Tang Fan was a little stunned, what kind of thing is the thunderbolt gunpowder, could it be that the Xiahou family is developing gunpowder?
According to my own understanding of my own life, the record of gunpowder is indeed not detailed, could it be that it existed in the feudal era thousands of years ago, or is it just a name?
From this and that, a series of doubts arose from Tang Fan's mind, Jiang Changguo in the Western Regions?
Lou Huihui saw him thinking on the side and asked, "Brother Tang Fan, what are you thinking, did Huihui say the wrong thing?"
No, you didn't say the wrong thing, Huihui, let's find a gold and silver shop to talk about. Tang Fan shouted forward: "Uncle, may I ask where is the gold and silver shop here?"
The uncle pointed out: "Just turn left on this street, walk fifty steps, and then see a restaurant, and then walk eighty steps to the right, you can see an alley passing through, and then turn the corner!"
Damn, what the fuck is this bird language? In desperation, Tang Fan took out a few copper coins from his arms and said, "This is the money to lead the way, you can lead us there." ”
"Okay!" the uncle shouted.
After walking for about a few minutes, several people came to a relatively large gold and silver store.
"Okay, Childe, I'll unload the things for you, goodbye!" the uncle clapped his hands and turned to leave.
Watching the man leave, Lou Huihui said angrily: "The cart just now obviously wanted to cheat on their money, and it didn't go far, just a few hundred steps." ”
"Huihui, you have to understand these uncles, it's not easy for them, let them cheat, anyway, they don't care about that money. ”
"Oh!" Brother Tang Fan, then let's go in, and it won't be so heavy to exchange these things for gold knife coins.
"Yes. Tang Fan looked left and right, and said, "Huihui, you stand here and wait for me, don't go away, I'm in that alley, if there is something, you can shout, you know!"
"Yes. ”
After the teacup, a strangely dressed man came over, and when the man approached Lou Huihui, he said to the woman in a strange accent: "This young lady, you see--I--am not very beautiful!"
"Poof!" Lou Huihui said with a smile: "Brother Tang Fan, why did you become like this, it's ugly, this beard is not good-looking." ”
Tang Fan smiled embarrassedly, he finally found this thing in Chong Xueyun's baggage, he thought that she shouldn't recognize herself with makeup, but she didn't expect this chick to easily recognize it, failure!
Lou Huihui covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother Tang Fan, but you are dressed so strangely, a bit like a person from the Western Regions?"
"Shhhhh Remember, don't say anything later, just stand by my side. ”
"Well, Hui Hui knows and will listen to the eldest brother. ”
"No, Huihui, have you seen people from the Western Regions?" Tang Fan responded to what Lou Huihui said just now.
"No, but I've heard of it!"
"Alright, let's go inside. ”
The two of them walked into the gold and silver store, Tang Fan looked left and right, there were two guys inside, but he didn't see the boss, so he said loudly: "What about your boss, I want to find him." ”
When the two guys saw a strangely dressed man and woman coming, they scratched their heads unconsciously, and one of them said, "This!!, please inside." ”
Tang Fan said "cough" twice, and said in his worldly accent to the guy: "I'm a merchant from the Western Regions, help me carry this box and drop it in!
Forehead!!
The two guys listened to Tang Fan's sonorous tune, and they really couldn't figure it out, what was this person talking about, where did the weird people come out, and the people from the Western Regions couldn't do it?
The two guys smiled at Tang Fan and asked, "Uncle, what are you talking about?"
"Bring in the box at the door!" Tang Fan roared angrily, his eyebrows furrowed, and a vicious expression appeared on his face.
"Yes, yes, yes!" the two men hurriedly bent down and ran out of the door, afraid of offending this man. When I walked out of the store, there was a big box at the door.
The two of them came in carrying a heavy box and asked, "This master, I don't know what you need?"
"That's a lot of, hurry up and call your shopkeeper. Tang Fan said directly domineeringly, and it was rare to talk nonsense with these two guys.
"Yes, yes, the little one will go right away. ”
On the side, Lou Huihui couldn't help but smile "hehe".
"Shhh ”
"Poof!" Lou Huihui couldn't help but sneer, two small dimples appeared on her face, and said with a smile: "But it's really funny!"
After a while, the shopkeeper came over and said, "This master, I don't know what you are looking for me?"
When Tang Fan saw the boss coming, he walked to the counter, his legs were spread apart, his hands were spread on his chest, as if he had been robbed, and he said, "I want to exchange - gold knife coins!"
The owner of the gold and silver shop glanced at Tang Fan's strange appearance, listening to his strange accent, and the whole person was stunned.
However, for the sake of business, the owner of the gold and silver shop didn't ask much else, and said politely: "I don't know how much you want to change!"
"All!" Tang Fan pointed to the box.
"Why are you two stunned, why don't you open the box quickly. The shopkeeper turned his head and instructed the two men.
"Oh. The two men opened the box, and with a creak, when the box was opened, the whole room was illuminated with gold.
Wow!!!
The owner of the gold and silver shop stared at a box of gold and silverware with stunned eyes, swallowed his saliva, his eyes seemed to bulge out, and he said in astonishment: "Uncle, do you want to change them all?"
"Nonsense. Tang Fan snorted coldly.
The shopkeeper stared at the gold and silverware, and regardless of what the other party was saying, he waved his hand and shouted, "You two have counted me carefully." ”
"Yes!"
