Chapter 121: Foreigners
After leaving Liang Kingdom, I was ready to go home!
Where is my home, according to Cao Chengyan and Wuchen, my home should be in Li Tang. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are my grandfather, Li Tianming, the king of Li Tang, and my uncle Li Tiancheng, and one of my cousins, Li Sicheng.
According to what I think, when I go back to Li Tang, I should be able to easily win the trust of my grandfather and uncle, and when Li Tang, Liang Guo, and Zhao Guo are united, the closure of the country will be considered complete.
The focus of the problem is not on Li Tang, but on the way to Li Tang.
The seven feudal states went from north to south, namely Song, Zhao, Liang, Xia, Qi, Tang, and Chu.
I am now in the Liang Kingdom, and if I want to go to Li Tang, I will have to pass through the Xia Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom in the middle.
The situation of Xia Guo is not clear, but the situation of Qi State will definitely not be too good, because besieging Fengcheng and wanting to kill Prince Meng, it is obvious that it is Qi Guo who has already affirmed with the fake prince that he is wearing a pair of pants.
Miao Chengtian and Miao Yifan are dead, and I can't use the Poison Sect's eyeliner at all, so I can only find a chance to go to the Poison Sect to have a look and ask the remaining elders of the Poison Sect if there is any way.
On top of that, I'm still blind, which causes me a lot of inconvenience.
What a crazy thing it is for a blind man to take a madman on the road to cross through a dangerous feudal country!
"Master, why are you walking so slowly, so that we can get to your house in what year and month!"
Because I had something to think about and arrange, Bajie and I walked slowly to the border between Liang and Xia, and he complained to me like this.
I'm speechless about this, and now I can only take my time and wait for me to come up with a plan, and then I can move forward at full speed.
Seeing that I ignored him, he was also interested, and after that, he stopped complaining and returned me to a clean place.
After walking for a short time, I still couldn't think of any good way, when a loud eagle chirped in the sky, which made me stunned.
I have heard this eagle cry, I heard it when I was living in seclusion in the jungle in the southwest, it was an eagle sent by the wolf department.
Immediately stopped Bajie, and after I felt it a little, I raised my hand to tear off the eagle in the sky directly and landed on my hand.
Take the letter down, and let the eagle go, and let it go back to its master.
I got the letter, but I was blind, I really couldn't read this kind of thing, so in desperation, I could only hand over the letter to Bajie and let him read it.
He hesitated when he took it, and asked, "Master, what are you giving me this for?"
I said, "Look at what's written on it." ”
"Oh!"
After answering, he seemed to be looking down at the letter, looked at it for a while, raised his head, and said, "Master, I don't know what is written on it!"
I can only smile bitterly at such an answer.
"Can't you read the text of the Central Plains?"
He said, "I don't know what the writing of the Central Plains is!"
"This ......"
I'm also completely embarrassed, he, a guy who can speak the Central Plains language, can't read the Central Plains text, I really don't know if he forgot it, or if he really can't.
I took the note he handed back and put it away, and I had to find a way to get someone to read it for me.
When Xia Guo goes, I still can't take it out and let people help me see it, who knows what is written in this letter, if it is a very important matter, how can it be leaked.
The problem is the type of content in this letter, and if it is a very urgent military situation, I can't keep it for later, so it's embarrassing......
After thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to go to Li Tang as soon as possible, directly crossing the Xia Kingdom and the Qi Kingdom, without staying too long.
The only people I can trust should be my family members who I have never met in Li Tang, and if I can't trust them, then all this will really be over.
"Bajie, follow me, let's go to Li Tang as soon as possible!"
Bajie had long wanted to speed up the pace, and when I said this, he was naturally full of joy and agreed.
Soon, we entered the territory of the Xia Kingdom, and arrived at the first city in the north of the Xia Kingdom, the city of Hoding.
"Master, it's getting dark, let's go into the city and rest for the night, Master, isn't your injury still healed, you still need to rest!"
He didn't say anything, as soon as he said it, I still faintly felt the pain of being torn through the wound, and I had no choice but to rest in the city inn for the night.
That night, we were still eating in the lobby of the inn, and some strange people came to the inn, a total of four people.
"A few masters, please come inside!"
The shopkeeper's greeting didn't catch my attention, and he said the same thing to us, but one of the four people he welcomed in spoke in a very strange voice.
"Little Er, you go and bring us a few pots of good wine, we are going to do a big business, let's drink first. ”
There's nothing wrong with what he says, and who knows what they're doing that requires drinking and doing good things, and no one cares.
But I could tell that this man spoke in a very harsh tone, and it was obvious that he did not speak the Central Plains language very often.
"Bajie, is there any difference between the few people who came in just now and the others in the inn?"
My questioning voice was kept low and I didn't want to be heard by those who came in.
When I asked Bajie, I sensed it and found that there was no internal breath or other fluctuations in those people, and they should be ordinary people.
Bajie This guy is also a fool, I lowered my voice just because I didn't want others to know, he also looked at those people, and then said loudly: "Master, it's no different!"
I was almost by him, I covered my face and didn't want to speak.
The others also turned their gazes to us, and the feeling of substance made me very uncomfortable, but they looked at it and looked away.
They don't understand what Bajie and I said, and they may feel strange in their hearts, but this kind of thing may not be taken to heart.
I was so stupid by Bajie that I didn't dare to ask him again, but secretly eavesdropped on what those people were saying.
First, a very hoarse voice said, "How is it, is everyone else in place?"
The voice that had been talking to Xiao Er before came out again, saying, "It's all here, just one person missing!"
The hoarse voice continued, "Who is missing?"
Another more neutral voice sneered and said, "Besides him (her), who else will be missing!"
These people were not generally cautious, and they paused and deliberately kept their voices very low before continuing: "......"
At this moment, Xiao Er happened to come over and shouted, "A few masters, the good wine you want has arrived!"
Although I was affected by Xiao Er's words, I bet one million taels of gold, even if I didn't, their sentence was definitely not in the Central Plains language.
If they are not from the Central Plains, what kind of people are these people, the Southern Barbarians, the Dongyi people, or the Beidi people, or even the Donggao Pingcong and Daguyue people?
These are not the point, the point is what they came to Great Xia for.
Finally, a very sharp voice said: "It's him (she) every time, if it weren't for the patriarch to protect him (her), I would definitely let him (her) die at my hands! This kind of person who doesn't listen to the dispatch is disgusting to look at!"
The man said a "patriarch", which directly narrowed down the scope of my search and suspicion.
There are four tribes in Nanban, Daya, Renzi, Liangya, and a corner, and I can only say that there is only a corner of the tribe, because Yufusu is from a corner of the tribe.
This does not rule out that these people are Dongyi people, because Dongyi is more of some families, such as the Aso family to which Bajie belongs, as well as the Hades family, the Mito family and the like.
The leaders of these families are also called patriarchs.
The hoarse voice followed and said: "It's okay to say this kind of thing in front of us, and if we talk about it outside, maybe there will be some kind of mess, we all have tasks in our bodies now, and it is not appropriate to renew the branches!"
When he was said like this, the one with a sharp voice immediately stopped talking, obviously knowing that he had spoken a little too much.
The neutral voice asked, "Why did we choose to discuss here, there are so many people here, will people listen to them?"
The hoarse voice laughed and said, "What I want is the effect of more people and mixed eyes, those guys who are staring at us probably can't even think that we will choose to meet here!"
When he said this, the man also had a sense of smugness, and he must have reveled in his heart that he could come up with such a good plan.
The plan is good, but it's a pity that he can't even think of it, and I happen to be here, and I just happened to listen to the content of their discussion.
If people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water, and there is no way to do it.
The person who felt that his voice was hoarse had a higher status, and when he laughed like this, everyone else laughed in unison, although not a little sincere, but also laughed.
After everyone finished laughing, the person who spoke to Xiao Er at the beginning asked again, "When will we do it?"
At this moment, the hoarse voice lowered his voice a little and said something.
I tried hard to listen, but those people were so careful that I didn't even understand clearly, and it didn't seem to be in the Central Plains language, so I didn't necessarily understand it when I heard it.
After saying this, these people stopped talking about business, but said some meaty words without skin and face, laughing, and drinking.
After about a stick of incense, they were full of wine and food, and left here together.
I am a little worried about the origin of these people, and I am a little worried about their so-called big vote, and I am going to follow these people to see.
When these people went out, I got up, but Bajie asked, "Master, why are you going?"
I was helpless, smiled wryly, and said, "Follow those people, I want to see where they are going." ”
Bajie laughed and said, "Master, actually I know where those people will go?"
When he said this, my heart trembled, could it be that this guy could understand what those people just said?
Although it is unbelievable, I still have a certain confidence in my heart that Bajie will not lie to me in this kind of thing.
He said: "The man just now said that in the ancient bell tower, Zhu Que would wait there. ”
"Zhu Que?"
I had never heard of this name at all, and it made me feel a little confused when he brought it up at this time.
When I questioned, he continued with affirmation: "That's right, it's Zhu Que, they also said that the time for action is tomorrow night's third watch!"
The time he said should be fine, and the third watch is indeed a good time to do something unseemly.
Speaking of this, he let out a strange laugh and asked, "Master, should we stay in this inn for a while longer, and wait until tomorrow night before going out!"
Knowing that this guy wanted to be lazy and didn't want to run outside, and those people didn't happen to move, I simply stayed in the inn as he wished.
In the evening, I was thinking about something.
Bajie understood what those people said, and Bajie was a Dongyi person, which is very likely to indicate that those people were Dongyi people.
But this is just speculation, because Bajie has forgotten too many things, and he knows whether he heard Dongyi language or not, he only knows that he understands it, and he hears these contents.
Because of this, I don't dare to make conclusions, but I still focus on suspecting that these people are from Dongyi.
For the time being, I just sorted out these relationships, and then I stopped thinking about it and focused on healing with internal rest.
Nothing was said all night
At noon the next day, a different person came to the inn.
Before this person came, the four people from yesterday did not appear again, and Bajie and I were still eating quietly as we did yesterday.
"Xiao Er, bring me ten catties of beef and three catties of spirits!"
At noon, there were a lot of people in the inn, and Xiao Er didn't come to greet this person for the first time, he sat down very consciously, and then shouted like this.
When he shouted like this, he immediately drew everyone's attention, including mine.
What is the concept of ten catties of beef, ordinary people eat so much at one time, they are definitely going to be strung to death, this guy actually ordered three catties of spirits.
He made it clear that it was spirits, not ordinary drinks.
When this kind of big money lord came, Xiao Er immediately let go of other people's guests, and asked with a smile next to this person: "This master, what did you just say?"
The man repeated, "I want ten pounds of beef and three pounds of spirits!"
Xiao Er was silent inexplicably, and then said: "This master, ten catties of beef is not expensive, but the spirits in our store are notoriously strong and notoriously expensive, you see......"
He didn't say anything halfway through the conversation, but most people could understand it, and Xiao Er wondered if this person was here to eat white food and didn't give money.
Spirits aren't delicious, and if this guy can't afford to play, the inn will lose a lot!
It is easy to know from Xiao Er's suspicion that this guy's clothes are definitely not very good, otherwise Xiao Er would not suspect this kind of thing.
After thinking about it, I smiled and asked Bajie, "Ten catties of beef, three catties of spirits, can you eat so much?"
Bajie was stunned for a moment, smiled the same, and replied to me: "Master, I haven't tried it either, who knows if I can eat it!"
What he said was reasonable, so I didn't continue to say it, and it was impossible to be stupid enough to instigate Bajie to try, and turn around and continue to pay attention to the conversation between the man and Xiao Er.
There was a snap, as if the man had smashed something on the table, and then asked in a flat voice, "How is it, is this enough!"
"Enough, enough, enough...... This man, what you want will be there soon!"
Xiao Er's voice was quite undulating, obviously a lot of surprise.
I was wondering what the man had thrown out, so Bajie said to me in a low voice, "Master, that person is a big money master, and what he smashed out just now is a big night pearl!"
I don't think it's a problem to say that gold and silver are smashed out, but this person just smashed out a big night pearl, which is a bit of a problem.
Coming to the inn to drink with a night pearl, this person is either too rich in the family, or this night pearl is fake, he wants to be confused, or this person is a fool.
The Night Pearl is a really good thing, if this Night Pearl is genuine, it can still be sold for one hundred and eighty taels of gold if it is traded on the black market.
"Bajie, is there anything strange about that person?"
Raising my hand to ask Bajie to stop eating like crazy, I asked him again in a low voice, hoping that he would not be as stupid as before.
Fortunately, he learned a little wiser, and after looking around, he also replied in a low voice, "Master, that person is a weirdo!"
"What's weird?"
"He was wearing a robe, with a hat on the side and a bamboo basket at his feet, from which the night pearl just now was found!"
It was very interesting, and I said to Bajie: "Guess what, look at the bamboo basket where there is no night pearl yet." ”
He said, "Master, it's hard to guess!"
I didn't care so much, I just said, "You guess, it doesn't matter if you guess wrong." ”
"That's right!"
After confirming my claim, he was silent for a long time, as if it was extremely difficult to guess casually.
"Master, I think there's ...... in there."
Before Bajie's words were finished, he was interrupted by a sudden voice!
......
To be continued......
