Chapter 188 Rose Tribe
Xiao Shuai walked over. He didn't want to watch the fun, but as the richest man in the Western Regions, he was curious about what this "highest goods" was.
As soon as Xiao Shuai passed by, there was a group of people following Hulala, both maids and guards. He looked like a noble man, so he watched the fun and quickly made his debut.
When Xiaoshuai got closer, he was disappointed. There were only four people selling the goods. Although the dress was not miserable, it was also relatively simple. It was just the linen worn by ordinary people, but it was cleaner and tidy.
Xiaoshuai is not the one who uses clothes and hats to judge others. However, in order to show his strength, merchants have to wear silk and satin even if they don’t have money. As a poor person, you will not have the “highest goods” and you can’t afford to buy them.
The quarrel with the seller has already left. He just said something bad and obscured the seller. He also felt that the price was too high and couldn't help it. Most merchants make money with kindness and cannot care about him. Who knew that this person here suddenly became popular.
No matter whether you are a good person, I just ask the price. You quoted a high price and I can't afford it. Can't I leave? Who has time to argue with you?
Looking at the person who called himself Wang Haiqing who spoke just now, he blushed and panted in anger. When he saw that this was not a business deal.
Xiaoshuai turned around and was about to leave, and a soft voice came from behind, "Why don't you look at the guest? The Tang people said they could not judge people with appearance. The saint was brown and jade-carved. Maybe our goods were really good."
Well? Can people in mai clothes say "being brown and jade-carried"? Xiaoshuai turned around and looked at it carefully.
The person who spoke was a young woman, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with a round face and a sweet appearance. She looked like a Tangren at first glance.
But when you look closely, your hair is a little dark brown, your face is a bit three-dimensional, your pupils are a little light gray, and your short hair is tied behind your head and tied into a braid. Tangren didn't dress like this.
Beside him was a burly man, who was twenty-seven or eight years old, wearing leather armor and a scimitar. He looked like a Turkic man at first glance, but when he looked at it, he was slightly different. Xiaoshuai had seen various ethnic groups in Kangju City, but he couldn't recognize where they came from.
If you can't recognize it, you ask. Xiaoshuai never feels proud, "You are..."
Always behind Xiaoshuai, Anna, who was like a shadow, suddenly interrupted, "I know they are Bulgarians."
Hum? What is Bulgar? I haven’t heard of it, Xiaoshuai has heard of Bulgaria, and I don’t know if it’s related.
Anna continued, “The Bulgarians were vassals of the Avals. They once fought against our Roman Empire under the leadership of the Avals. When I was young, I saw prisoners of Bulgarians.”
Xiaoshuai was even more confused. Where did this Aval come from? I have never heard of it.
Anna looked confused and smiled, "The Aval and Bulgarians are both in the northwest of the Roman Empire and have almost no contact with the Tang Dynasty. Of course, my father doesn't know."
Xiao Shuai has seen the map of the Roman Empire and asked Anna to draw it on the globe. The northwest side of the empire... It seems that it is the modern Balkan Peninsula, where Bulgaria is. It seems that the so-called Bulgarians should have some relationship with modern Bulgaria.
In Xiaoshuai's impression, Europe, including Bulgaria, does not look so similar to the oriental people. Well, the relationship between ancient nations and modern countries is a mess, and Xiaoshuai doesn't want to clarify it. He starts to focus on the key points, "Let me see what goods are you selling?"
Wang Haiqing carefully held a very small porcelain bottle and handed it to Xiaoshuai with both hands, "Be careful, it's very expensive, you can only smell it."
A black shadow flashed, and Wang Xiaoyun appeared in a elusive way. In fact, she has always been standing behind Xiaoshuai, but the kung fu she practiced is close to ninja, and she is engaged in intelligence work, and has a talent for standing there and being unnoticed.
She grabbed the bottle with one hand and stayed away from Xiaoshuai before she opened the block and was far away, preparing to smell it for Xiaoshuai first, so as not to be in danger.
But this time she didn't need to smell it anymore, everyone smelled the fragrance of roses, refreshing.
Wang Xiaoyun covered the plug and gave it to Wang Haiqing. Wang Haiqing was frightened when she grabbed the bottle. Later, she saw Wang Xiaoyun's behavior, and it turned out that she was afraid of being poisonous. This noble man actually had such an elusive bodyguard. He seemed to have a big identity and couldn't help but look full of hope.
Xiaoshuai nodded, "I know what you are selling. It's really a good thing. How much does this cost?"
The female Bulgarian who was talking thought for a while, "This one costs five... no, only three Roman gold coins." It seemed that she had not opened and decided to sell her tears, and she was very sad.
Such a small bottle of oily spirit bottle-style thing costs three gold coins, no wonder people think it is expensive. Everyone shook their heads, only Xiaoshuai laughed, "I'll give you five gold coins, I bought them."
Finally, he met someone who knew the goods. Wang Haiqing was very motivated and looked at the Bulgar woman, "Ashali, do we want it..."
It turned out that this Bulgarian beauty was named Ashali. Ashali turned her head and thought, "Is it a noble person's identity?"
He asked the buyer about his identity when selling things? What does this mean? Wang Haiqing bent over and bowed to Xiaoshuai and bowed, "We are not arrogant nobles, but the goods are too expensive..."
Xiaoshuai understood that he was afraid that he could not afford it or rob their precious goods. Are he that kind of person? Will he rob other people's goods?
Suddenly I remembered that my first pot of gold from the beginning was the one I killed Kangfu's caravan, and I suddenly felt a little guilty.
But others don’t know about this. Xiaoshuai’s identity is not confidential, and Murae turned it out from behind.
"You hear it clearly. This is an envoy, Kaifu Yi and the three departments, the chief inspector Taifu, and the clerk of the Central Secretariat Pingzhangshi, the Great Yuezhi Grand Protectorate, the Duke of Lu, the conquerors of the Turks, the conquerors of the Tubos, the guardians of the Tocharis, the Augustus of the Sogdians, and His Majesty Su Xiaoshuai, the king of the Great Yuezhi Grand Protectorate."
Both Bulgars were confused by these names. They were familiar with this name, but they didn't know the specific meaning, but they only knew that the person who came was very powerful. Wang Haiqing was a Tang Dynasty man, but he understood it. He first knelt down on the ground, "The grass man Wang Haiqing had seen the Great Protector."
Then he explained to the two Bulgarians in foreign languages that he originally understood Bulgarian.
Axia used her hand to cover her mouth, and was surprised for a long time before making a sound, "Is this the king who caught He Lu recently in Chang'an?"
Mura looked proud, "Heru is in the camp."
Xiaoshuai went to Chang'an with great fanfare, and this matter was not kept secret. After listening to Wang Haiqing's introduction, Ashali pulled the Bulgarian man next to him and bowed to Xiaoshuai, "Bulgarian Rose Tribe Bubuke, Ashali has met His Majesty the King."
