Volume 1: The Rise of the Western Regions Chapter 42 Nothing to do today
Ever since he entered this royal city, trouble has come one after another, and he has never stopped...... So much so that now Zhao Rang saw that there were many people, and his heart involuntarily began to be nervous.
It wasn't until he and Ye Sanniang spent thirty taels of silver to buy three good horses that Zhao Rang held the reins in his hand, and he still felt a little unreal.
There were too many things, and the sudden calm made him a little uncomfortable......
People are really cheap bones!
When I have nothing to do, I feel bored and always want to find excitement and have fun. I waited for a lot of things, but I felt irritable...... I wish I could hide as far as possible!
Then I hit a wall back and forth in these two moods, and in the end, I was all embarrassed by myself!
When he lazily led the horse back to the door of Ye Sanniang's courtyard, Yuan Kexin heard the movement and opened the door.
She had already packed her things and handed them to Zhao Rang in large and small bags, so that he could fix them behind the saddle.
Ye Sanniang looked at Yuan Kexin's salute, turned around and walked into the house, took a few jars of wine from the cabinet, carried them in a net, and hung them next to the saddle.
"Western Spring?"
Zhao Rang asked.
"Dawei's wine!"
Zhao Rang was a little disappointed when he heard this.
Ye Sanniang stretched out her hand to his forehead and said:
"Little one! Don't know a Western Spring! This wine is very rare in Dawei, but there are many good wines in the world! ”
Zhao Rang pouted and said:
"I think the Western Regions Spring is delicious, especially after the ice, the taste is really amazing!"
Ye Sanniang sneered:
"You've only lived for a few years? Can you tell the difference between good and bad? ”
"Sister, I can't tell the difference when I live to this age, don't pretend to be young or old in front of me in the future, I don't like it!"
Zhao Rang was amused by this, let's not talk about pretending or not, why do you want her to like it? It just doesn't make sense! After securing the last burden with a belt, he replied:
"What's there to pack here? By the way, I don't know how old you are! ”
Ye Sanniang listened, crossed her waist with one hand, and said:
"Do you know that there are two taboos for girls unless they want to say it themselves, and others must not ask?"
Zhao Rang thought of it faintly, but before he could speak, Yuan Kexin said in a didactic tone:
"The first is age, and the second is weight!"
Ye Sanniang smiled and said:
"Good sister is right!"
Zhao Rang couldn't help but shake his head...... Thinking that Yuan Kexin had a lot of embankments for Ye Sanniang before, she talked about something at this time, but she was like a sister!
To sum it up, it's just two words: true hypocrisy!
Thinking about it again, I was going to be uncomfortable along the way...... Because he has one mouth, he can't say two mouths.
Instead of arguing, it is better to bow your head as soon as possible, so Zhao Rang arched his hand at the two and said:
"The two girls are in the middle of cardamom, and their posture is graceful, they are really as bright as spring flowers, and they are as bright as the autumn moon!"
It's always right to be obedient, and it's best to wear a high hat, the two girls heard Zhao Rang's praise like this, and their hearts immediately burst into joy, but they still said with a shelf in their mouths:
"Don't say it nicely, you have to think like this in your heart!"
Zhao let the chick nod violently like a peck of rice, and then the three of them turned over and got on their horses, ready to go.
Yuan Kexin was about to take out a map to correspond, but was stopped by Ye Sanniang:
"Don't bother, just follow me!"
Zhao Rang asked:
"Do you know the road?"
Ye Sanniang replied:
"Not only do I know, but I've been there!"
Zhao Rang smacked his tongue secretly.
He always felt that he had traveled from south to north and had a lot of experience. Even if it's not a complete old Jianghu, it's more than enough! But with Ye Sanniang, it's really no different from a newborn baby.
This gap between experience and realm can't be made up for a while, so you can only accumulate it slowly on your own. No wonder I can't please her every time, and I can't take advantage of her.
But the premise of this accumulation is: don't die!
Dead Yuan knows that everything is empty.
Before he died, he could "Shi'er", but before he died, he wanted to say a few words to future generations, but no one listened......
According to Yuan Mingkong's words left for her sister, he will eventually go to the summer pasture of the Gongchen tribe where the fourth prince Anzuo is located-Lukeqin Grassland. But for some reason, he set the meeting place in Chagan Tologai.
From the map, this place is interesting!
Because it is located at the junction of the two major tribes of Hanxing and Gongchen, it is still more than 200 miles away from both sides.
Such a place reminded Zhao Rang of the city built by the Western Regions Merchant Alliance, which, like Chagan Tologai, was located between Yangguan and the city of the king of Lanmo.
What happened in that city, I don't need to say much. At this time, they are going to a place like this again, and Zhao Rang feels his heart tighten when he thinks about it......
However, since Ye Sanniang said that she had been there, she must have understood something, so that her eyes would not be blackened, and she could still be regarded as a dependent.
As soon as she got on the horse, Ye Sanniang didn't speak again.
It's not that she has nothing to say, it's that her mouth has been drinking and can't get out to speak.
As the saying goes: one person doesn't drink, two people don't play money.
But Zhao Rang can quite understand Ye Sanniang's thoughts at the moment.
When a person drinks, what he drinks is not wine, but a state of mind, a kind of relief.
Although she has a lot of fame in Yangguan and even Dawei and the Western Regions, why is she not trapped in this name? It is estimated that it has not been a long time since there has been such a comfortable and open letter horse.
Drinking alone like this, wine has become a side dish, and your own emotions are the protagonists. After a few bites, I feel that the world is very beautiful, and the flowers are affectionate and the trees are pleasant.
Ye Sanniang drank about a stick of incense and stopped drinking. Seeing that Zhao Rang had been looking at him, he handed over the wine jar.
"I don't drink!"
"And what do you see me doing?"
赵力 says:
"I see you're enjoying it!"
Ye Sanniang wiped her mouth and said:
"It's just right to drink here, and no matter how much it is, it's not so happy."
"But do you want to see how I'm enjoying it, or will I tell you about Chagan Tologai when I'm done?"
Zhao Rang saw that his mind was broken by Ye Sanniang, and he didn't hide anything anymore, and said politely:
"Please also ask the proprietress to teach!"
Ye Sanniang spit out a mouthful of wine and didn't speak for a long time.
The reason why wine makes people feel good is that it slows down your brain. So Ye Sanniang thought about it for a long time, but she didn't know where to start, so she changed her words:
"Why don't you ask, and I'll answer. This also saves me the trouble of saying that I forgot the west. ”
This is a good idea, Yuan Kexin's eyes lit up after hearing this, and asked:
"I see on the map that Chagan Tologai is in the depths of Daban, why is there a city in such a place? Are there a lot of people? ”
This question is not difficult to answer, Ye Sanniang drew a few volleys, and the two of them were clear.
Among the countries of the Western Regions, the only one bordering Yangguan is the Lan Mo Kingdom of the Upper Four Kingdoms. However, with the strength of one country, it is simply impossible to shoulder the demand for trade with Dawei.
However, due to the vast and barren geographical environment of the Western Regions, the path that the caravan could take has basically been fixed, and it has not changed for more than a hundred years. After all, in the vast Gobi Desert, it is extremely difficult to develop a new route, which not only costs a lot of money, but also kills a lot of people.
Originally, there were only twenty or thirty families of mountain dwellers in Chagantologai, who did not graze or farm, and lived entirely on hunting.
Since the beginning of trade between Dawei and the Western Regions, this Daban has become the closest route to the Shangmeng and Yangguan for all countries in the Western Regions except for the late Lanmo. Especially in the middle of Daban, there are still mountain people living in it, which can be used as a transit and resting place.
As long as there are people, there will be a need, and there will be business.
Over time, this small place in the depths of Daban became lively.
In the past, those mountain people who relied on the mountains to eat the mountains also put down their hunting tools, picked up their abacus, transformed their homes into wine shops and inns, and started business comfortably.
"Let's put it this way, Chagan Toluogai is a little smaller, but in terms of prosperity, compared to the royal city of the late Lan country, it is not too much!"
Zhao Rang replied:
"Yes! After all, the Lan Mo Kingdom is only one country, and it is still the bottom of the upper four countries. According to what you said, the other three countries and the countries of the Western Regions all have to pass through this ...... Tologay, that's a gathering of great riches! ”
Ye Sanniang nodded, and said to Yuan Kexin:
"In a place like Xiangtengju, I know more than three or five of them in Chagan Tologeri. So although it is in the mountains, it has everything, and there is no need to worry about the environment being too harsh. ”
Girls pay a lot of attention, and Yuan Kexin looks like a person who hasn't suffered much
After Ye Sanniang also explained this, Yuan Kexin was also relieved. Thinking that after the end of the journey in the past few days, when I arrived at Chagan Tologai, I would be able to take a hot bath!
"It's a good place for you, too!"
Zhao Rang saw Ye Sanniang's eyes squinting when she said this, and he knew that she might not say anything good......
But people just told themselves so much, but they were embarrassed to pretend not to hear at this time, so they had to ask rhetorically:
"What's a good idea?"
Ye Sanniang says:
"The Dawei people who come and go call that place 'Pinjin Cave'!"
As soon as these three words came out, Zhao Rang immediately drew a drunken and bizarre scene in his mind, followed by the corners of his mouth involuntarily grinning behind his ears, "hehe" smirked twice.
When he came back to his senses, he saw Ye Sanniang and Yuan Kexin whispering...... From time to time, he turned his head to look at him, his eyes full of disdain.
"I didn't think he was like that, but I didn't expect ......"
This is Yuan Kexin's voice.
"Sister, men are all the same! I can't believe it! ”
This is the advice of the hostess.
"That's it! My sister is right! ”
Yuan Kexin was a little indignant.
"But judging from my sister's experience, the more a man can boast about Haikou, the more he can't! Maybe he's a thunderous and pin-thin virtue! ”
Zhao Rang was originally alone, walking unhurriedly, not wanting to pay attention to the two at all. But when he heard this last sentence, he couldn't hold back any longer, and roared angrily:
"Who the said that Lao Tzu is as fast as thunder and as thin as a needle? Believe it or not......"
