Xue Changfeng stood on the streets of Luoyang, not knowing where he should go.

Now Xue Changfeng can no longer see the elegance of the past, after five years of living in Yazhou facing the sea and blooming in spring, he has become a bald, tattooed, and dark-faced Nanban.

Over the years, he has lived a leisurely life in Yazhou for a while, and if it weren't for the sudden plague in Yazhou, he would still want to stay there.

It's actually not bad to deal with sea savages, although there is less etiquette, but after a long time together, it's easy to mix up with their leader.

The main reason is that Xue Changfeng is a person who is very good at summing up lessons and lessons, when he started to follow the savages, fishing was his weakness, and he could only do the most tiring work.

Slowly, he learned a little from this wild man who could catch crabs, a little from the wild man who could catch fish, and then a little from the female wild man who dug clams to catch the sea, and he soon became a man who could do anything among the wild men.

Coupled with the fact that he could cook all kinds of food on land, within two years he was the leader of that wild crowd.

This time he entered Luoyang, and it was entirely because the local officials in Yazhou hoped that he could be used as a specialty of Yazhou, and the savage king participated in the high-end activities of the emperor to seal Mount Tai.

When the emperor needs all the nations to come to the court, it is actually a very good thing to be a savage leader, the court provides food and drink, and spends money to help him prepare gifts for the emperor, and when he goes home, the government pays not to mention, there are many rewards.

The only inconvenient thing is that he can't say that he is a wild man in Yazhou, he should say that he is a wild man in the south, or a wild man king, because he admires the Tang Emperor, so he came to Luoyang thousands of miles away, just to kowtow to the Tang Emperor.

In fact, this is not Honglu Temple, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites are cheating.

Mainly, it is too difficult to assemble a ceremony for His Majesty the Emperor to come to the court.

Over the years, there have been fewer and fewer tribes around the Tang Dynasty that can speak human language, and there are fewer and fewer countries in Liaodong, and Liaodong has been able to gather more than a dozen vassal states, but unfortunately, since the first war in Liaodong, Liaodong can take out only a new Khitan tribe under the Dahe Alliance, which originally had eight tribes and belonged to the Songmo Governor's Office, because after Xue Rengui left Yingzhou, there was a distant Khitan tribe left.

As for Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje, the pearl states of these vassal states, no one mentions them anymore.

The same is true of the Turks in the north, originally there were ten royal tribes in the Turkic Department, and now there are only three left that can be called tribes, and these three, if it were not for the Honglu Temple to dissuade them, they would have disappeared in the annals of history.

Only in the Western Regions are there still some vassal states...... However, it is difficult to describe the current situation of these vassal states.

The gunpowder workshop under the Tang Dynasty craftsmen produced 268,000 catties of gunpowder a year, of which 170,000 catties of gunpowder were consumed by the Anxi army.

As for the Guangzhou Governor's Mansion, and even the Jiaozhi Governor's Mansion, there are many savages and barbarians under his rule, and there are many articles to do when His Majesty the Emperor needs the great etiquette of all countries to come to the court.

Although the savage tribe and the barbarian tribe can pick out a lot of grass kings who can fool the people, it is a pity that these savages can't speak Tang dialect at all, let alone understand the etiquette of the Tang people.

Xue Changfeng, a savage who can speak the official dialect of the Tang Dynasty and knows the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, even under the rule of Yazhou, is a rare treasure among the savages.

Therefore, this time, Lingnan Road equipped Xue Changfeng with a lot of Annan savages, and let him be the leader, so that he could answer the emperor's questions, participate in the emperor's banquet, participate in the emperor's Fengzen Taishan, and make up the number as the king of the vassal country.

Why did such a good thing fall on Xue Changfeng, not only because he could speak Tang dialect and know Tang etiquette, but most importantly, the officials of Lingnan Province did not like to see the Feng Ang family enjoying the glory of Fengzen Mount Tai alone in the Lingnan family.

In short, Xue Changfeng, who originally planned to enjoy the sun, sand, and free life in Yazhou, and escape from being used by others, has now come to Luoyang, and lives in Luoyang Honglu Temple, where he is taught by the doctors in Honglu Temple how to practice Tang etiquette correctly.

Xue Changfeng is undoubtedly the fastest and best savage, so he got a two-day vacation to have a good tour of the Tang Capital, which is known as the Divine Capital.

Accompanied by the two officials of Honglu Temple, Xue Changfeng almost finished the tour of the entire Luoyang, although these two guys seemed to be accompanying him, in fact, they did not spend a penny on Xue Changfeng, the savage king, on the way, although when they went out, these two guys received a bag of money from the boss.

When passing by Baihualou, Xue Changfeng saw a graffiti that seemed to be drawn randomly on the blue brick at the corner.

After looking at it for a while, Xue Changfeng took advantage of the efforts of the two little officials to drink the flower dew and drink the dew and add a few strokes to this graffiti.

Although Yun Chu is not a good person, Xue Changfeng still has a lot of friends under Yun Chu, and he also wants to know what his old friends have been doing in recent years.

Just as Xue Changfeng was wandering around the Luoyang Market with his hands behind his back, a luxurious four-wheeled carriage passed by him under the escort of a group of Tubo people.

Just when the carriage was less than twenty paces away, the carriage stopped, and a voice with a hint of trembling sounded behind him: "Brother Changfeng." ”

Hearing this title, Xue Changfeng was indifferent, and grabbed a small gourd on a roadside stall with one hand, looking extremely interested.

"Brother Changfeng. Is that you? ”

A hand grabbed his arm, and Xue Changfeng turned his head in surprise, and looked at Helan Minzhi who couldn't help himself with excitement with an ignorant look.

"Goo-goo-go......o-go

A series of words that even Xue Changfeng himself couldn't understand, and a series of cannons gushed out of his mouth.

Helan Minzhi was unmoved, looked at Xue Changfeng and said, "You're not dead?" ”

"Brother Agagu ......"

"You're not dead, are you?"

Helan Minzhi's eyes gradually became manic, and the hands that grabbed Xue Changfeng's arms instantly became extremely powerful.

"This son, King Aga is a guest of Honglu Temple, you can't be so rude."

Just when Xue Changfeng was pinched by Helan Minzhi and shouted, the two little officials who accompanied Xue Changfeng finally came over.

"You said he was the vassal king of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Exactly, he is from the Governor's Mansion of Annam, and there are more than 2,000 tribes in the jungle of Annam, and he is a very powerful vassal king in the local area."

Helan Min tore off the silk shirt on Xue Changfeng's body, revealing his black chest, and seeing that there were no scars on his chest, he grabbed the monkey and turned the Nanban, who was wearing silk clothes like a monkey, and began to check his back again.

There was no wound on the back that He Lanminzhi expected, so he immediately let go of Xue Changfeng's hand, pinched Xue Changfeng's throat and roared: "You dare to look like my brother Changfeng even if you are a monkey." ”

Xue Changfeng grabbed Helan Minzhi's thick arms with both hands, and with the help of the two Honglu Temple officials, he broke free from Helan Minzhi's shackles.

Seeing that Helan Minzhi was a little sluggish, the little official quickly pulled Xue Changfeng into the alley.

After Helan Minzhi was stunned for a long time, he finally returned to the carriage, and Dunzhu immediately asked, "Who did you see?" ”

Helan Minzhi said indifferently: "A person who has died." ”

Dunzhu said seriously: "Since he is a dead man, he should not be alive for you to see." ”

Helan Minzhi's eyes narrowed, and he shook his head and said: "I don't think I will admit my mistake, especially his back, I will never admit my mistake, but when he turned around, I found that I still confessed my mistake." ”

Dunzhu said: "Since my brother will not admit his mistake, it means that that person is not dead, before, when Yangtong was in the same place, some monks said that they would never die, and would only continue to live with the help of another new body."

I didn't believe it, so I killed a few monks who claimed that they would not die, and as a result, they really died and did not come back to life.

My brother should have arrested this person just now, whether it was or not, as long as he was tortured, he would find out. ”

Helan Minzhi gritted his teeth and said: "My heart is very chaotic, I want him to live, but I don't want him to live, whether he is alive or dead, it is not good for me." ”

"Then kill him! Lausanne, find that man now and kill him. ”

Dunzhu shouted at the Tubo man next to the carriage, and the Tubo man immediately chased down with seven or eight people in the direction where Xue Changfeng was running.

Helan Minzhi had a splitting headache, he didn't know whether to drink the behavior of stopping Dunzhu, after a while, he screamed and fell into Dunzhu's arms, and the scenes about Xue Changfeng in the past kept flashing in his mind, especially when Xue Changfeng's blood-stained hands grabbed the door and slowly closed it, it stirred in Helan Minzhi's mind like an awl.

"Brother Changfeng—" Helan Minzhi roared angrily and fainted.

Xue Changfeng shook off the two stupid little officials, walked quickly through the small alleys, and occasionally saw the familiar graffiti around the corner, he followed the signs on the graffiti, passed through one market after another, and finally came to the door of a teahouse.

Stepping into the teahouse, I glanced at the teahouse and saw a fat woman settling accounts behind the counter.

He went straight to the woman and said, "Mrs. Qian, something happened to me." ”

Aunt Qian had already seen this Nanban, but she was too lazy to entertain, and when she heard that this Nanban called her Mrs. Qian, she was stunned for a moment, and took a closer look at Xue Changfeng, but she didn't recognize it.

"If something happens to you, it's my business, if you have money, you can drink tea and listen to the story, and if you don't have money, you will immediately get rid of my mother."

Xue Changfeng grabbed his bald head and smiled bitterly: "I am Xue Changfeng, Yazhou Xue Changfeng." ”

Aunt Qian was stunned for a moment, took a closer look at Xue Changfeng, took him to the backyard, jumped into the well without hesitation, Xue Changfeng immediately followed Aunt Qian through the dark underground for a cup of tea, and then opened a flap and came to a small courtyard.

Seeing that the four carpenters who were working put down their work and slowly pressed towards him, Xue Changfeng spread his hands and said; "I really am."

Aunt Qian waved her hand, and the four strong men immediately retreated, and resumed their carpentry work to continue working.

Aunt Qian took Xue Changfeng into the house, rubbed a teapot for a long time, and then poured a cup of tea for Xue Changfeng.

Xue Changfeng smiled: "I am Xue Changfeng, you don't need to use the mandarin duck pot to test me." ”

Aunt Qian said: "As far as the old body knows, Xue Changfeng died in Yazhou. ”

Xue Changfeng smiled bitterly: "I'm not dead, I'm not dead, I just followed the savages out to sea to fish, and I was taken to other places by the wind and waves, so that I lost contact with my brothers." ”

Aunt Qian looked at Xue Changfeng and said: "Since you have cheated death and left us, why did you come back, Xue Changfeng, the brothers thought you were dead, the Lord also specially presided over the sacrifice for you, and gave up Yazhou, now, you are back again, what face do you have to say goodbye to the old brothers who were born and died with you in the past?" ”

Xue Changfeng said in surprise: "Why, for such a long time, haven't the old brothers died yet?" ”

Aunt Qian cooed, laughing like an owl, and a spike appeared out of her sleeve at some point, silently stabbing at Xue Changfeng.
