Seeing that the soldiers could not be stopped from undressing, Yi Dan yelled at the captured leader: "Quick, quickly order them not to take off their clothes." If you dare to play a scoundrel again, I will kill you and them all." ”

The leader understood Yi Dan's words, and after muttering a few words to the soldiers who were kneeling and undressing, these people stopped undressing, lay on the ground, and let the captain surround them.

Captain Jiao tied up the captured leader and said to Yi Dan very happily: "Heroine, good skills, good kung fu. Thank you heroes for your help?"

Yi Dan said: "Don't dare to be, it's just a matter of helping me when I see injustice in the next place, please don't call Mr. Jiao a heroine anymore." Under the surname Yi, a single name is a Dan character. ”

Jiao Gongxian arched his hand and said, "It turned out to be Miss Yi." With all due respect, in the lower view, girl, your physical appearance, speech and martial arts skills must be from the original, right?"

Yi Dan said: "Yes, Zai Xia did come to Annam from the Central Plains through Qiongya Island. ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "No wonder, thank you Miss Yi for saving me, and my brothers." I don't know why the girl is in this wilderness in the middle of the night?

Yi Dan explained: "Hey, when it comes to this, I can't get angry. Today, I came to Annam by boat with a junior brother, and as soon as I stepped ashore, I met a thief. Not only did he steal my baggage, but he also robbed me of my horses. I chased all the way from the town to the south, but there was no sign of the thief. In the middle of the night, in the middle of this wild jungle, I didn't dare to chase any further. At this time, I met Your Excellency again. ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "Hey, the current Annan is not the same as before. Now bandits are rampant, and the night is rampant, and it is about to become a land of rat soil. Girl, you are new to the city and don't know the situation here, so you must pay attention to safety. ”

Yi Dan said: "Thank you Mr. Jiao for reminding me, I have already learned it." ”

"I wonder why the girl ventured all the way from the Central Plains to Annan?" asked Jiao Gongxian.

"I wanted to come here to visit a senior, but I didn't expect to meet a thief when I first came here, hey, it's really unlucky. ”

"May I ask you, girl, do you see what the thief looks like?" asked Jiao Gongxian.

"Hey, I'm ashamed to say that the black light is blind, and before I can see the thief's appearance, the things were snatched away. Yi Dan said.

"If you don't see it clearly, it's a bit of a problem, but the girl can tell me exactly where I lost something. I'll see if I can find a way to get it back for you. Jiao Gongxian said.

"Well, great, then thank you Mr. Jiao. Yi Dan said.

Jiao Gongxian said: "You're welcome, it should be." Miss Yi, you are full of martial arts, chivalrous and heroic, if you don't dislike it, you can call me Brother Jiao. ”

Yi Dan said: "Then why are you embarrassed?"

"What's so embarrassing about it? unless you dislike it, girl, and don't want to make me a friend?" said Jiao Gong envy and pride.

"That's not what it means to be below, but under that..."

"Since Miss Yi doesn't mean that, then don't shirk it, call me Brother Jiao. Jiao Gongxian said.

"That's... Well, Brother Jiao. Are you leading an army, and what grievances did those people have with you just now?" Yi Dan asked.

Jiao Gongxian said: "Yes, we are the envoys of the Jing Navy, and the men and horses under the hands of Master Qu." Now preparations are being made for war with the Cham states to the south. We were afraid of being sneak attacked, so we escorted grain and grass overnight, but we didn't expect to be sneak attacked. It's a shame to say. ”

Yi Dan said: "Could it be that these people who came to attack the grain and grass in the middle of the night are all the people from the southern occupation of the city?"

Jiao Gongxian said: "That's right, they took the high land in the west to sneak attack my Annan Jing navy. ”

Yi Dan said: "I understand. However, it was more polite to meet a few officers and soldiers of the city on the sea today. But I don't know why these people just now are so scoundrels, and they even take off their pants when they can't win, it's incredible. ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "You misunderstood them, in fact, they really surrendered to you, so they took off their clothes and pants and worshiped honestly." This is their custom and the highest courtesy for treating heroes. ”

Yi Dan said: "Ah? Then this custom is really strange. ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "This is a long story, Zhancheng was originally the Rinan County of the three counties of Jiaozhi under the rule of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. In fact, in the past, the people of Ninan County did not wear clothes and pants. It was only under the influence of the etiquette, righteousness and shame of the Han people who moved south that they began to wear clothes. In "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms", didn't Chen Shou say: 'Rinan County, men and women are naked, don't be ashamed'"

Yi Dan suddenly realized: "Oh, I see. ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "Yes, although they have improved a lot now, they still retain the custom of being honest with each other to show their sincerity. If you really worship someone, you will strip naked and bow down in worship. It's not a scoundrel, so don't be mistaken and scared. ”

Yi Dan sighed and said, "Well, I understand. ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "I really have to thank Miss Yi for your help today, otherwise my soldiers and grain and grass will be in vain." ”

Yi Dancao: "Brother Jiao, please don't be polite, it is within the responsibility of my sons and daughters to help when the road is uneven." ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "The girl is extraordinary, dare to ask where the teacher is?"

Yi Dan said: "Don't dare, Master Zai was originally from the Dangshan Shang Cultivation Sect. ”

Jiao Gong said enviously: "It turns out that Miss Yi is a high-ranking disciple of the Dangshan Cultivation Sect? It seems that the Central Plains martial arts are really talented. ”

Yi Dan said: "Brother Jiao, your skills are not inferior, and it can be seen that although Brother Jiao is strong, there is room for you." can treat the enemy army so leniently, quite a pre-Qin warrior style. ”

Jiao Gong said enviously: "The girl has won the award." In fact, Champa and Annam are also somewhat related, so they can't bear to be wiped out. ”

Yi Dan asked curiously, "What is the kinship between Champa and Annam?"

Jiao Gongxian said: "The current Annan is actually only two of the three counties of Jiaozhi under the rule of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and the southernmost Ninan County has rebelled and established itself in the last years of the Han Dynasty. For thousands of years, Ninan County has been harassing the people of Annam. The Central Plains Imperial Court repeatedly sent troops to encircle and suppress, but in the end it was all gone. ”

Yi Dan asked: "The Central Plains soldiers are strong and strong, why will they all fail in the end?"

Jiao Gongxian said: "First, because the city is occupied by uncivilized barbarian tribes, wandering barbarians, when the imperial army is defeated, they will be scattered as birds and beasts, and they will disappear. When Nichinan County was named at the beginning of the year, it was called 'Nichinan County' because it was in the south of the sun all year round and the shadow of the sun was shining south. Most of the later emperors thought that Rinan County, with the sun shadow facing south, had an unlucky appearance, so they no longer had peace of mind to recover the lost land of Ninan County, so they stopped and stopped. ”

Yi Dan asked curiously, "It turns out that this Rinan County is named because the sun shadow faces south?"

Jiao Gong Xiancao: "Yes, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was very particular about the names of counties and counties. For example, the Zhangye is 'Zhangguo's arm, leading to the Western Regions', and this Jiaozhi is taken from the local folk custom of 'sitting cross-legged with each other'. ”

Yi Dan said: "I heard Master say that when the Han Dynasty was in power, people knelt on the ground. So this toe sitting cross-legged, hence the name, is it like this, Brother Jiao?"

Jiao Gongxian said: "That's right, that's what it means." The girl is really smart. ”

Yi Dan then asked: "Having said that, since there was no intention of reclaiming Rinan County during the powerful period of the Tang Dynasty before, why does Annan want to use troops against Zhancheng now?"

Jiao Gongxian said: "It's not that we want to use troops against Zhancheng, but because Zhancheng saw the decline of the Central Plains and the chaos in the world, he invaded the southern border of Annan many times and wanted to occupy Annan for himself." We have no choice but to take precautions and take offense as defense. ”

Yi Dan said: "I see"

Jiao Gongxian said: "There is also the fact that the world is in turmoil now, and all the envoys and vassal kings of all walks of life have taken the opportunity to expand their territory. We have a corner of Annan and have no ability to go north, so we can only go south and regain lost territory. ”

Yi Dan said: "Well, thank you Brother Jiao for telling me so much, I already understand the general situation here." It seems that you have to be careful to avoid it in the future. ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "You're welcome, oh yes, Miss Yi, what are you going to do next?"

Yi Dan said: "I still have to go back to the town in the south, and my junior brother is still waiting for me in that inn." ”

Jiao Gongxian said: "Okay, we also have to continue to carry grain south, so let's go together, right?"

Yi Dan said: "Okay, then it's troublesome for Big Brother Jiao to lead the way." ”

"You're welcome, Miss Yi, please!"

After some conversation, Jiao Gongxian's team took the grain and grass and the captured enemy soldiers, and took Yi Dan with them and went straight south along the official road. (To be continued.) )
