Since the Great Qian Dynasty closed the sea, it has basically severed its contacts with Western countries.

In the coastal area, although there are still many people who will go to Nanyang to pan for gold, it is not allowed by the laws of the imperial court.

Therefore, after Jiang Yuyan ascended the throne in the new dynasty, not many people in the court, who were in charge of receiving foreign envoys, could understand the words of these Beni merchants in front of them.

And when Zhao Yu saw the chili peppers taken out by those foreign merchants, he thought of a talent that he almost ignored.

Tongfu Inn, Lu Qinghou!

On the way back to the capital after taking the treasures of Liancheng in Jiangling City, Zhao Yu was assassinated by a killer.

And this killer is Shangguan Yundun, the number one master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect.

After settling Shangguan Yundun, Zhao Yu sent someone to inquire about the Tongfu Inn.

But then things came one after another, and Zhao Yu put this matter on hold.

Now looking at the head of the Ministry of Rites who was sweating and talking to those foreign merchants, Zhao Yu remembered that there was such a person.

Lu Xiucai can't do anything else, but the trick on his lips is not weak at all.

Moreover, among the people Zhao Yu knew, only that guy could speak a foreign language fluently.

Just this one, isn't the fame of a showman a little shabby?

"Now that Lord Zhao knows the reason, can you solve the confusion of the ministers?"

Zhang Wei watched Zhao Yu staring at the chili pepper in front of him, and then coughed lightly and reminded loudly.

Zhao Yu came back to his senses, pointed to the chili pepper and said: "This is a vegetable, and it can also be among the five flavors, and it has a different flavor......

"Oh?"

At this time, Zhang Wei stepped forward curiously, picked up a chili pepper that looked very ruddy and attractive in color, and took a bite and tasted it.

"Ahh

In an instant, a tingling pain quickly filled Zhang Wei's eyes from the tip of his tongue, and an old face was as red as a monkey's ass in the blink of an eye.

Although he felt that there seemed to be a soldering iron in his mouth, Zhang Wei understood that this was the Fengtian Palace, the place where the Son of Heaven was in power, how could he stick out his tongue and jump around?

Slippery ......

Although I endured the burning of the chili pepper in my mouth, the saliva flowed out involuntarily.

"Master Zhang, are you alright?"

Yang Wanli, the marshal of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division standing behind him, immediately stepped forward and looked nervously at Zhang Wei, who was flushed.

Zhang Wei snorted while waving his hand at Yang Wanli.

"Hehe, go and get some water for Lord Shousuke......"

Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Wei, who was red-faced, and laughed unconsciously, and then instructed the waiting eunuch on the side.

And when Zhao Yu's words fell, everyone, including Zhang Wei, had a change in their expressions.

What is this place?

Fengtian Palace, where the Son of Heaven is in power, the eunuchs waiting here, even if they are unqualified and rankless, they are not something that others can instruct!

The eunuch bowed slightly and turned his head to look at the Kowloon steps.

At this time, Lian Xing, who was standing on the side, took out a fine royal cup directly from behind him, filled it with water, and personally sent it to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei first knelt down to thank him, and then after turning to the dragon pillar in the main hall, he covered his face and rinsed his mouth.

"Hahaha......"

The others didn't dare to laugh, but those foreign merchants didn't have so many scruples, and laughed out loud directly in the main hall.

“……”

One of them stepped forward with a smile and muttered to Jiang Yuyan for a while.

And one of the directors of the Ministry of Rites next to him explained intermittently: "Your Majesty, this foreign businessman said that they have brought back a lot of things from their hometown, and this is just one of them. ”

"Oh, if that's the case, then don't hide it!"

Jiang Yuyan looked at a few foreign merchants with interest, and said in a flat tone.

"Yes!"

The director of the Ministry of Rites said with a gesture, and it was not easy to express the meaning clearly.

The foreign merchants glanced at each other, and then ordered the little eunuch to bring in all the things placed outside the Chengtian Gate one by one.

Well, today's Fengtian Temple is as lively as a bazaar.

"Tobacco?"

When the merchant looked at everyone with the kind of eyes that had never seen the world, and lifted the first red cloth, Zhao Yu once again recognized what was in front of him at a glance.

A plate of dried tobacco, and a slender smoking pot that seems to be made of lamb shank bones next to it.

Before the foreign merchant stepped forward to demonstrate, Zhao Yuze had already come to the tobacco, skillfully picked up a pinch of tobacco, grinded it carefully, and put it into the smoking pot on the side.

......

Zhao Yu took out the fire fold he carried with him, lit the tobacco, and slowly took a puff.

For Zhao Yu, who is accustomed to filter cigarettes, this tobacco is somewhat spicy.

But for Zhao Yu, who hasn't smoked for more than a year, this thing really makes him a little fluttery.

All the ministers widened their eyes and looked at Zhao Yu who was swallowing clouds and spitting fog on the Fengtian Palace.

No one can understand the state of mind of an old smoker who comes into contact with this thing again after more than a year.

"Hook!"

The foreign merchant who took out the tobacco looked at Zhao Yu's skillful movements, and was also slightly stunned, and then gave a thumbs up.

The rest of the people glanced at each other, and then after muttering for a while, they found the head of the ritual department with the two knives again.

After a while, the head of the Ministry of Rites came to Zhao Yu, bowed down and said, "Back to the lord, these foreign merchants said that they have a better ...... here Something better than this, ask if you want to try it? ”

Zhao Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at the cigarette gun in his hand, and then looked at the few foreign businessmen who were squeezing their eyebrows.

These foreign devils, what kind of medicine do you buy in the gourd?

"Well, it doesn't hurt to see."

Zhao Yu nodded, and the principal immediately stepped forward to negotiate with him.

After a while, another little eunuch walked in with a small square table.

Several foreign businessmen smiled wickedly, and then approached Zhao Yu and slowly lifted the red cloth on the small square table.

This......

Bright lamps, large cigarette guns, silver boxes and black paste.

"Who brought this?"

Zhao Yu looked at the things in front of him that had appeared in countless film and television dramas, turned his head and looked at the few foreign businessmen with an expressionless face and asked.

The head of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly translated Zhao Yu's words. This sentence is not long, and the number of words is small, but I don't bother with this main thing to compare again.

After the words of the principal fell, a foreign businessman who didn't look like a good thing stood up with a wicked smile on his face.

"You're the only one who has this?"

Zhao Yu glanced at the guy in front of him and asked casually.

“NO……#￥%&#&。”

The man waved his hand, and then muttered a big push, and among the merchants behind him, two people came out again.

The principal was about to translate, but Zhao Yu directly waved his hand to stop him.

Although he didn't understand what Waiyi said, he still understood the general meaning, and the three of them got this thing.

Seeing the three of them stand up, Zhao Yu turned around and looked at Jiang Yuyan on the steps of the Nine Dragons.

Jiang Yuyan followed Zhao Yu for a long time, and naturally could see the cold killing intent in Zhao Yu's eyes at this moment.

"Someone."

Although Jiang Yuyan didn't understand why Zhao Yu would have such a big killing intent towards the three of them, it didn't matter to Jiang Yuyan.

The important thing is that Zhao Yu wants to kill these three people, and that's enough!

"Drag these three out and behead them at noon!"

Dozens of guards with big shoulders and round waists immediately rushed into the Fengtian Hall and dragged the three of them out.

“Way？”

Looking at the murderous guards, all the foreign merchants were horrified.

That's a good saying, why do you draw a sword and kill someone?

They're just here to trade, and even if they can't make a trade, there's no need to kill them!

Seeing this, the rest of the merchants were also anxious, and began to shout.

First, Zhao Yu couldn't understand what they were talking about, and second, this thing appeared in the New Dynasty, no matter who dared to get contaminated at all, Zhao Yu would be ruthless!

The three of them were pushed down, and within a few moments, the guards had already come to give the order.

And Zhao Yu signaled Jiang Yuyan to take the remaining few people into custody and deal with them after he returned to the capital.

After the dispersal, Zhao Yu took Erha and went to Shanxi non-stop.

If Zhao Yu is not mistaken, Qixia Town should be in Yuncheng, Shanxi, and now Yuncheng is still called Yunsi.

And after Zhao Yu and Erha left the capital, a man with a haggard and decadent face, dragged a long sword and walked into the Jinyi Guard Yamen.

A moment later, the man walked out of the yamen and, led by a small flag officer, headed towards Zhao Yu's mansion.

……

Zhao Yu and Erha went out of the Xizhimen of the capital and went straight to Shanxi.

And this is also the second time that Zhao Yu has come to the Shanxi territory.

The last time I came, it was because of the first snow disaster, and I cleaned up a lot of people along the way, and even the head of the vassal king was cut off.

Galloping all the way, the scene Zhao Yu saw was not much better than the snow disaster at the beginning.

Along the way, there were hungry people fleeing the famine, and from the mouths of these refugees, it was learned that Datong Mansion was already in danger under the attack of the foreign Yi.

And the guards gathered by the imperial court to help Datong have not been seen for a long time.

Originally, the soldiers under Yu Daxuan, the marshal of the Datong border army, were enough to fight against the foreigners, but this time, somehow, Yu Dashuai seemed to be thinning, and the posture was not the opponent of the fierce outsiders at all.

"The ...... of Meat Stripping"

Looking at the countless refugees, Zhao Yu sighed slightly.

These refugees will definitely not know about this, but as the half-initiator, he is clear.

It's not that Yu Dashuai can't resist those barbarians, but the first assistant of the cabinet carries a letter from the Son of Heaven to make Yu Dashuai pretend to be invincible.

Then there was a follow-up progress in dispatching the guards of the guard, and then using the waiyi to pull out the tumor of the guard.

It seems to be beneficial to the country and the people, but the price of this is by no means imaginable by Lord Shousuke, who is far away in the temple!

It's just that this time Zhao Yu can only choose to watch coldly.

In severe cases, when arsenic should be used, other consequences cannot be considered!

Zhao Yu didn't stay long, and the two went straight to the Yunsi of Taiyuan Mansion.

The town of Seven Heroes is located in Guanzhong.

The name of Guanzhong, began in the Warring States Period, since ancient times, this boundary has Dasanguan in the west, Hangu Pass in the east, Wuguan in the south, Xiao Pass in the north, take the meaning of the four passes, so the name is 'Guanzhong'.

Legend has it that there were seven heroes who duel here, and then they fought and reconciled, and then the seven of them worked together to build a small town here, named Seven Heroes Town.

For this reason, Zhao Yu grinned when he saw it......

Where is this special duel, it is clearly under the guise of a duel to come to Guanzhong to start a business!

In Shanxi Province, it may not be easy for others to find such a small town.

But for Zhao Yu, there was no difficulty in the slightest.

Along the way, every fifty miles, there will be a letter falcon with the eyes of the Jinyi Guard, which in addition to the news along the way, there is also a route to the Seven Heroes Town.

Three days later, Zhao Yu and Erha finally came to an antique town.

The town is not big, surrounded by water in the west and mountains in the north, so it is also a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers.

After entering the town, Zhao Yu and Erha sat on horseback, looking at the crowd of people coming and going, looking at the expressions of these people, it was like a paradise.

"Who's that! Say what about you! Hold it!! ”

Just when Zhao Yu and Erha were walking on the street unhurriedly, they were blocked by the two.

"What are you two doing? I don't know that in addition to the county lord on the main street of the town, others can't ride horses?! ”

"Say, where did you come from, where are you going, how many acres of land per capita, how many cows are in the field, tell me about ......"

Looking at the two people in front of him who seemed to be talking cross talk, Zhao Yu almost didn't laugh out loud on the spot.

"Who are you?"

Erha turned over and dismounted, came to the leading head catcher, and asked condescendingly.

It's not that Erha is following Zhao Yu's eyelids, but that his head is fast against the two in front of him, and he can only be condescending when he asks questions.

The slightly older one in the lead took a step back suddenly, pressing one hand on the knife at his waist, although his legs and stomachs were spinning, he still mustered up the courage to shout: "I am the thirty-eighth Jiupin Clothes Catcher in this town, Xing Yusen!" ”

"I'm the thirty-eighth catcher in this town, Yan Xiaoliu!"

The apprentice who followed behind like a potato seed also came out at this time, drawing a knife in his hand.

"Okay, don't leave them alone, it's important to get down to business."

Seeing the two grinning masters and apprentices in front of him, Zhao Yu still felt a little kind.

After all, those second-class goods in this town have accompanied Zhao Yu through several boring holidays.

Erha glanced at the two more street-like catchers in front of him, and then ripped off a token from his waist and threw it over.

Yan Xiaoliu's eyes were quick, and he borrowed the token with one hand.

The master and apprentice glanced at each other, and then began to talk to each other as if no one was around.

"What is this?"

"It looks like a waist card ......"

"Waist card, master, then can you tell that this is the yamen?"

"This ...... Young people should exercise more, isn't it written on it? Give it to the teacher! ”

"Oh."

……

After a while, Yan Xiaoliu, who had looked inside and out several times with his waist card, said: "A horizontal white scarf ......"

it!

Zhao Yu, who was on horseback, heard the kid's muttering and was almost thrown off the horse.

Even Erha, who was forced by Zhao Yu to finally learn a few words, couldn't help but roll his eyes a little at this moment.

It's still a visionary child, and when he was forced to read and write, he said that it's terrible to be uneducated.

Now looking at these two masters and apprentices, Erha finally understands Zhao Yu's good intentions.
