Chapter 140: A Hundred Ghosts Walk at Night
The blonde girl grabbed Fantianyin, "Hey, it's really a bit heavy." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's not big, it almost killed me, tsk......"
Flipping over and fiddling for a long time, he threw it up three feet and caught it again - "Hey, why don't you listen to me?"
Zhang Liao pressed her jade hand, "Low-key, let's show it lightly, okay?" As far as I know, most of the magic weapons need to be urged by the heart or hand, and then the target can be driven by the traction of the divine thought. We don't know anything, it's strange that it can be obedient. ”
The Sichuan accent inadvertently revealed in his words can always make foreign girls laugh.
Pusira shoved the lifeless iron lump back to him, "It's useless to be disobedient, give it back to you." If you put it here, it will definitely not be used against me again, and there is one less nemesis in the world. I said, how is your Celestial Empire different from what I learned?"
Without waiting for Zhang Liao to answer, a person suddenly squeezed out of the bustling crowd to block the way ahead, and his expression was quite affectionate, "Respected guests from afar, it must be the first time to come to the city that never sleeps, right? ”
This person has long eyebrows and big eyes, the bridge of the nose is extraordinarily deep and long, and a face is stretched by three points, which is similar to a donkey, with a sparse mustache and a raised tail, with a natural cynical temperament.
Without waiting for Zhang Liao to react, Pu Sira decisively threw out her left arm and grabbed it back-"Wow!" An exclamation came from behind him.
The two looked back, Pu Sila was holding a small black arm tightly in her hand, and the little black hand connected to it was exploring Zhang Liao's waist in the shape of a scissor finger...... It's clearly a child, looking at the eyebrows and eyes, it is very similar to the "Canza" in front of him.
Thief? Zhang Liao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it seems that the old soldier guarding the gate is right, when he enters the city, he will meet the first one in less than 100 steps -- no, it should be said that he is the first group.
Pu Sira looked smug and winked at Zhang Liao smartly, "Well, there is such a saying in our France - if you are stopped by the Luo Li, the cat's paw must be behind you." ”
"Luo Li?"
"Oh, it's the ubiquitous gypsy. ”
The guy in front of him, who called himself Cana, saw that his partner was arrested, but he was also righteous, but he didn't flash - folded his hands and pleaded, "Ah Yuyou, it's really a big misunderstanding." This poor boy wants to dust off the sand for you, and has absolutely no other intentions. I swear in the name of all the gods who pass by......"
His accent was swift and light, with a muffled whistle, and he spoke in the Celestial Empire, and it seemed that he had been here for a long time.
The first time Zhang Liao saw a living gypsy, he was more curious than disgusted, "Oh, this is not very friendly. At the very least, you should find an adult partner—"
Pusira agreed, "Yes! As he spoke, he really raised his right fist.
The black and thin child screamed, but there was no fear in his eyes, and he was obviously experienced in a hundred battles and full of confidence.
As if hearing a signal, from the dark corners of the street on both sides, two more red-skinned men squeezed in, both with long eyebrows and big eyes, and a bad face. The color scheme of the clothes is the same as that of Canzo.
Zhang Liao was not afraid, but he was a little hesitant -- it was not good to fight as soon as he entered the city? Why did we come here? Isn't it possible to be so high-profile.
Puciela was so excited that she immediately shook off the child. Began to push the silver fox backwards -- fighting? The old lady is the ancestor.
Before the two sides began to compare, there was chaos on the street. Out of nowhere, more than a dozen fierce men poured out, surrounding the first two groups.
A middle-aged man walked out first, half of his leather robe was thrown off and tied around his waist, and stepped forward with one bare arm, "Cana, what do you have to say this time? We have made an agreement that if you steal here again, you must chop off your right hand, including your younger brother Jika." Kids are no exception!"
Zhang Liao subconsciously switched the language pack loaded by Dan Lao, and found that this person spoke the ancient Qiang language, which belonged to a branch of the Tibetan language family. Luo Li, who had been in the habit of being a thief for a long time, also fully understood, and screamed, "No! Absolutely not! We are just deepening our relationship, and we want to give the new distinguished guests a free tour guide ......" said, and handed Zhang Liao a pleading look, which was rare and very sincere.
The two accomplices and the child were also honest, their eyes wandering, as if looking for an escape opportunity.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he turned to Zhang Liao and said in the official words of the Tang Dynasty, "Dear guests from afar, this street is the territory of our party, and every time something bad happens, we are the ones who take responsibility." There are 50,000 Han people living in the city that never sleeps, and our party only has 10,000, so we don't dare to ruin our reputation. If you connive at these filthy Luoli, it may be all the Qiang people who will be forced to move out tomorrow. ”
This man's speech was sonorous and reasonable, so that Zhang Liao couldn't refuse, but- he looked at the black child behind him, and instantly thought about Aya that Du Yuan picked up, wasn't she like this at the beginning? Punishment can be there, chopping hands is too cruel...... Sin doesn't end there.
"Uh...... Thank you brother for your help, but it's a misunderstanding. They were indeed asking me if I wanted a guide. Brother's kindness, I understand it, it's a pleasure to meet you. Holding back for a long time made Pucila very disappointed.
Zhang Liao also spoke these words in Qiang, although the accent was stiff, but it was also fluent and smooth. The man was taken aback, and then looked up and down, "Brother, it's my honor that you can speak our language." It turns out that the Tang people are not all arrogant mountain eagles, and since you are worthy of my brother, I recognize you as a friend. He took a step forward and stretched out his right hand—
Zhang Liao subconsciously reached out to shake it, but the man avoided his hand and directly grabbed his elbow - there was no subsequent attack, just grabbing. So he also drew a scoop according to the gourd, grabbed each other's elbows, and the two of them pinched hard at the same time, and then let go.
As if an agreement of understanding had been reached at this moment, the middle-aged man half-turned around and left a sentence, "My name is Deming, and I have something to come to me." As long as you don't do evil, you can carry the big things for you. After saying that, he waved his hand, and led the people to turn around and leave.
Zhang Liao's chest was hot, and he couldn't help shouting at someone's back, "My name is Zhang Liao, you can do it if you have something...... I can't find ......" The temper of these ethnic minorities is very much to his appetite, and they are simply refreshing!
In the middle of the ring, Pusira put her arm around his shoulder, "What, you're in love with Uncle? Let's be honest with your straight man—"
Zhang Liao was amused by these words, so he retracted his thoughts, "What is this...... Where did you learn the Celestial Empire language, and why do you always come up with such unreliable words from time to time?"
Pusira rested her chin on his shoulder and looked at him with a pretty face, "I went to school from hard Tenai, and the vocabulary on the Internet is the richest, far beyond the dictionary. ”
Looking at these blue eyes with affection, Zhang Liao was in a trance, and a white figure walked out from the depths of his soul, sighed softly - he suddenly woke up, slightly sideways his shoulders to let go of the beauty, and at the same time politely supported the other party's waist with his hand, so as not to lose his balance. "The Internet is very messy, the knowledge is uneven, you can't eat nonsense, you need to have the ability to discriminate......"
"Ahem...... A deliberate cough interrupted the two, and Na Kanzuo hadn't left yet, "Thank you, dear friend, if you can, please let me really be a tour guide, 50% off-no, it's completely free!" He was ruthless and determined to repay.
The two accomplices were nowhere to hide, only the child was still peeking behind him.
"Yes," without waiting for Zhang Liao to refuse, Pu Sila placed an order first, "Tell me, what kind of ghost festival is the Lantern Festival?"
"Oh, it's a great honor. The Lantern Festival is not a Halloween Festival, it is almost equivalent to catching a large gathering, and it is held twice a month. We belong to the southern route of the Silk Road, there are a lot of caravans in the past, and some goods are delivered here without waiting to be transported to Luoyang, Chang'an. After all, it is also excellent that businessmen can travel thousands of miles less than once a year. ”
He saw that Zhang Liao's attention was always behind him, and he pulled the child in front of him knowingly, "Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is my younger brother Jika, my own brother, born by a mother, and my father doesn't know who it is." "Very well explained.
The black boy broke free of his hand and smacked his white fangs hard, wild as a lynx - a formal greeting.
Zhang Liao smiled, Pu Sira also smiled, and the atmosphere was no longer tense.
"So, Mr. guide, the first stop, the bazaar, take us to see it. "This foreign girl has always been very cheerful.
"Okay, keep up, I'm here, you won't lose anything. I know all the ways -- but there have been a lot of out-of-town gangs these days, and they don't follow the rules, so you still have to be careful. ”
The four of them formed an alliance for a while, and quickly passed through the flow of people, heading towards their destination.
"Cana, how many strangers have entered the city after dark today?" Zhang Liao never forgot his mission.
"Oh, that's a lot. But you finally asked the right person, the two brothers Jika and I are specifically eyeing this part of the East Gate. "There are five caravans that have come in, two from Tibet, one from Dashi, and one from the forest. ”
"What about other than merchants?"
"There are also two strands. They all came from the east, and there was a caravan calling itself Hui, but I recognized them as the ringing horses of the Turkic Turkic tribes, known as 'Deep Howl'. These guys are so powerful that I can't afford to mess with them. There is also a stream of ...... Well, these people are even stranger, they don't even have camels, they are all horse gangs, many of them are injured, and the accent is from Khotanese over there......"
In Khotan, these two words are exciting! Zhang Liao and Pu Sila quickly exchanged glances.
"How many people are there in the last batch, and where did they go after entering the city?"
"Na," Jia Zuo straightened his arm on tiptoe and pointed diagonally upwards from the top of the passerby's head—"It's in the Star Picking Tower! There were quite a few people, almost thousands! Most of them went to Mingsha Mountain in the southern suburbs to set up camp, and only the leaders stayed in the city to attend the banquet. ”
This information is a bit complicated, and it actually involves the lord of Dunhuang City. If what Li Guangbi said is right, this sleepless city is still in the hands of the Tang Dynasty, how can it be related to the Khotanese rebels?
Looking at the tallest building in the city, the "Star Picking Tower", under the outline of the pagoda, the layers of lights are brightly lit -- Zhang Liao fell into deep thought.
This pool of muddy water, like the night of the desert, is pitch black, getting deeper and deeper.
