Chapter 194 The Lie Essence from the Western Regions
A lot of charcoal was burned in Wannian County, but because of the type of trees, the charcoal burned was not good and fluttering.
In addition, Wannian County has used a lot of coal in recent years, and people basically no longer use unburned charcoal.
In order to prevent these charcoals from being smashed in his hands, Yun Chu used these charcoals to exchange them with steel charcoal with Changsun Chong.
Steel charcoal is a good thing, it can make a sound of gold and iron when thrown on the ground, this thing is very resistant to burning, and some steel charcoal is even more resistant to burning than coal.
Changsun Chong's family asked for a large amount of charcoal naturally for iron smelting, although steel charcoal is not suitable for adding when smelting iron, just because Changsun smelting iron only needs the best materials, which has brought a lot of steel charcoal.
This is a big deal, and at the same time, it is also an act of Yun Chu Zhengda Guangming taking advantage of the Changsun clan.
The reason why the eldest grandson clan would make such a loss-making deal was entirely because Yun Chu told the eldest grandson Chong that Xu Jingzong wanted to harm their family.
Don't look at it as just a sentence, Changsun Chong was very appreciative, and did not hesitate to replace Yunchu's worthless charcoal with very valuable steel charcoal.
The steel charcoal rarely smokes when it burns, plus it is very burned, and there is no peculiar smell, the price of selling it to Lao Huang of the Gongmen Bureau is very good, anyway, it is Li Zhi's money, and there is no need to save it for him.
With this amount of money in the account, the cotton seedlings that Yunchu invested in the spring finally did not lose all his money, and some of them were recovered.
It's just that a large number of trees will be planted this winter and next spring, which is also a very expensive thing, especially the weeping willows on both sides of the Bahe River, which still need to be restored.
When Yun Chu saw Yin Erhu on the way home, Yun Chu knew that the warrior Bagman from the Shi Kingdom had arrived in Chang'an.
When Yun Chu saw the tall man from the Western Regions leaning against the city wall of Chang'an and chewing on naan with his hand, it was like seeing a lion.
Because he really had a lion's skin on him.
The lion's open mouth poked out a black bald head, and in the hot weather, his whole body was covered by this lion's skin, and his exposed hands and feet were also black.
If it weren't for seeing his smoky gray eyes, Yun Chu would have thought that this guy was a Kunlun slave.
Seeing that Yun Chu was looking at him, he also stared at Yun Chu without fear, and seeing that Yun Chu's gaze did not move away, he handed Yun Chu the leftover naan in his hand.
"Is he alone?" Yun Chu asked Yin Erhu.
Yin Erhu said, "When we met him in Liangzhou, he was the only one, and there was no entourage, and we also asked, he is indeed called Bagman, and at the same time tested his skills, he is indeed worthy of the brave and invincible that Hou Ye said."
Yun Chu glanced around, took the naan cake handed over by Bagman, and asked in reply, "Are you Bagman?"
Bagman, who was originally huddled under the city wall, jumped up, opened his arms to embrace Yun Chu, and said loudly, "My brother, they don't allow me to enter Chang'an City, I really want to see this Heavenly City, can you take me in to have a look?"
Yun Chu smiled and avoided Bagman's embrace, looked at his smoky gray eyes and said, "Are you here to fight in Chang'an City?"
Bagman laughed and said, "Yes, yes, someone gave me a bag of gold coins to challenge a monkey."
Yun Chu leaned slightly to the side and continued, "Can you find that monkey?"
Bagman shook his head and said, "They said you don't need to look for it, the monkeys will come to me then."
Yun Chu smiled and pressed his hands on Bagman's shoulders, Bagman's shoulders slammed down, and his back collapsed, but after this step, the thick thigh muscles exposed by this guy were stretched, and his dark feet stepped on the ground, and his body was unwilling to continue to fall, Yun Chu's hands on his shoulders turned into grasps, grabbed the lion skin, and with a loud shout, he was about to lift Bagman off the ground and smash it on the ground again.
But there was a cracking sound, and Bagman's lion skin was actually torn by Yun Chu and split from Bagman's body, and Bagman's body was still standing firmly on the ground.
Yun Chu lifted his right foot, and kicked out five times in a row in Bagman's calves, thighs, waist, and lower abdomen like lightning to dissolve his strength.
Bagman's left leg was kicked and trembled, until he was kicked in the lower abdomen, he couldn't hold on anymore, his left knee fell to the ground suddenly, Yun Chu's right foot fell to the ground, with his right leg as the axis, his left leg rotated and picked up like a giant axe to slash at Bagman's head.
Bagman avoided his head, and the leg slammed into his shoulder, Yun Chu did not hear the sound of the shoulder blade breaking, but heard a thud, and took advantage of the left leg on Bagman's shoulder, his right leg curled up, and the knee of his right leg slammed into Bagman's face door fiercely.
Bagman's right arm reached out in front of him, but he was too hasty, he didn't use any force, he was hit by Yun Chu's knee on his arm, and his arm hit his towering nose backwards, and when Yun Chu's body flipped backwards and landed again, Bagman's face had already bloomed, especially his nose, the front half of the bridge of his nose collapsed and he was bleeding profusely.
Yun Chu picked up half of the naan cake that had fallen on the ground, dusted off the dust on it, handed it to Bagman, who was waiting for him, and said, "I injured you, so I must ask you to eat a sheep."
At this time, Bagman's lion skin had been torn in half by Yun Chu and fell to the ground, and Bagman had no silk thread on his body, so he stood under Chang'an City with a male symbol.
With the admiring gaze of the Tang man and the intoxicated gaze of the woman, Bagman picked up the lion skin from the ground with his bare stomach and handed it to Yun Chudao, "You still have to pay for my lion skin."
Yun Chu smiled slightly, threw the dust cloak on the back of the jujube red horse to Bagman and said, "This is Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, the most glorious city in the world, and people will treat them as savages if they don't wear clothes."
Bagman spit out the blood in his mouth, wrapped his cloak and pinched his nose with his hand, and the nose that was flattened by his arm returned to its original state, and then picked up a huge sheepskin water bladder from the ground, poured out some water from it, washed a handful of blood stains on his face, and said to Yun Chu, "Is there any wine?"
Yun Chu threw his wine jug to Bagman, only to see this guy pull out the stopper, and drank Yun Chu's pot of rice wine, which was two catties long.
After drinking, he handed the wine jug to Yun Chu and said, "It's too light."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "There are spirits, let's go, I'll take you to visit the most magnificent city in the world."
Bagman lifted his huge animal skin package, followed Yun Chu without any suspicion, and entered Chang'an City.
Standing on Suzaku Street, Bagman's big mouth never closed again, in the face of his expression, no one in Chang'an was surprised, a wild man came to Chang'an, this is their basic expression.
Yin Erhu leaned over and said, "Master Hou is careful of deception."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Go ahead and find Bagman, this person is not our target."
For the rest of the day, Yun Chu and Bagman wandered around half of Chang'an City under the scorching sun.
He took Bagman to eat a whole roast sheep, took him to drink the strongest anti-poison in Chang'an City, took him to take the most comfortable bath in Bagman's life, took him to the ready-to-wear store to buy the most suitable hunting clothes for the Tang people he weared, and took him to disturb the most beautiful dancer in Chang'an City at noon, watch people dance, and finally came to Jinchangfang to taste the food in the canteen thoroughly.
By this time, it was already dark.
When passing by a stall selling sugar gourds, Yun Chu took two strings of sugar gourds and handed them to Bagman.
Bagman didn't doubt it at all, and he ate it with great pleasure.
Seeing that there was the Yun family's mansion in front of him, Yun Chu looked back at Bagman and said, "There are some people I care about the most, so you can't go in, you are a guest from afar, and I have already fulfilled the etiquette of being a host, so now you should go where you are going."
Bagman looked at Yun Chu suspiciously, and said, "My friend, I am in this city, I only know you, and you have broken my nose and torn my skin, no matter what, you should take me to your house and accept the hospitality of a distinguished guest."
A thin fishing net came down from above, barely visible in the half-dark sky, and the net shone on Bagman's body, and he wondered, "What is this?"
Yun Chu said, "It is a kind of fishing net woven by mulberry silk, this kind of thing has no other benefits except for being tough, and it is very good to use it to catch people."
"Am I not your friend?" Bagman threw away the burden in his hand and asked Yun Chu.
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I really want to treat you as a friend, but what you think about is how to kill me."
Bagman muttered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'm here to kill the monkeys."
Yun Chu saw that Zhang Jia had closed the net with bad people, so he said lightly, "According to the rules of Shi Kingdom, I invite you to eat meat, drink wine, give you good clothes, listen to tunes, and watch beautiful women, you should help me do one thing to repay my kindness."
"I'm not Bagman, my name is the prodigal son!" "The Uighur elders refer to the younger ones as they are generally used for men."
Yun Chu looked at the lion-like man and said, "Whose prodigal son are you? Bagman's?"
Bu Langzi shook his head and said, "No."
Yun Chu walked around Bu Langzi and said, "Among the ten countries of the Western Regions, the people of the Shi Kingdom are the best at deceiving people, and the people there often say that the goshawk that the people of the Shi Kingdom can deceive falls to the ground, so I have no way to believe what you say."
"I am a prodigal son, I never lie"
Yun Chu sighed and said, "From the time we met to the present, you have deceived me at least three times, deceived the restaurant owner once, deceived the restaurant singer once, deceived the dancing girl to sleep with you once, and deceived the owner of the ready-to-wear store once, and finally secretly took away one of other people's clothes" "So, you are a liar and a real Shiguo person."
Bu Langzi grabbed the fishing net with both hands and was ready to tear it.
Just listen to Yun Chu said, "You will only cut your hands by doing this, and it will not have any effect."
"I heard that you Tang people are the biggest liars in the world, the women who lied to us in the Western Regions, Niu Yang, and also deceived us to help you fight, the people of Shiguo don't deceive people, you let go of this thing, let's talk about it again."
Yun Chu said to Bu Langzi, "This is the fourth time you have lied to me."
Before the words fell, I heard Bu Langzi roar, the muscles on his body were raised, and he was about to tear the fishing net, but unfortunately, those thin silk threads couldn't withstand such strength, and quickly got into the flesh, and the painful Bu Langzi screamed.
Seeing that the fishing net was tightened, Yun Chu looked at the tight prodigal son who was wrapped in the fishing net, and said to Zhang Jia, "Give it to Yan Jiu, I want to know the truth."
