A lot of charcoal is burned in Wannian County, but because of the types of trees, the charcoal is not good and is light.
In addition, Wannian County has used a lot of coal in recent years, and people basically no longer use unburned charcoal.
In order to prevent the charcoal from falling into his hands, Yun Chu exchanged the charcoal with Changsun Chong for steel charcoal.
Steel charcoal is a good thing. It can make the sound of gold and iron when thrown on the ground. This thing is very resistant to burning. Better steel charcoal is even more resistant to burning than coal.
Naturally, Changsun Chong's family wanted a large amount of charcoal for iron smelting. Although steel charcoal was not suitable for adding when smelting iron, it was only because Changsun's family wanted the best materials for iron smelting that they obtained a lot of steel charcoal.
This was a huge deal, and at the same time, it was Yunchu's upright act of taking advantage of the Changsun family.
The reason why the Changsun family engaged in such a loss-making business was entirely because Yunchu told Changsun Chong that Xu Jingzong wanted to harm their family.
Even though it was just a word, Changsun Chong was very grateful and did not hesitate to replace Yunchu's worthless charcoal with highly valuable steel charcoal.
Steel charcoal rarely smokes when burning, plus it burns very well and has no peculiar smell. The price sold to Lao Huang of the Gongmen Bureau was very good. It was Li Zhi's money anyway, so there was no need to save for him.
With this money coming in, the cotton seedlings that Yunchu invested in the spring finally did not go down in vain, and some of them were recovered.
However, it is very expensive to plant a large number of trees this winter and next spring, especially the weeping willows on both sides of the Bahe River, which need to be restored.
When Yunchu saw Yin Erhu on his way home, Yunchu knew that the warrior Bagman from the Shi Kingdom had arrived in Chang'an.
When Yunchu saw the tall man from the Western Region leaning against the city wall of Chang'an, grabbing naan bread and munching on it, he felt like he was seeing a lion.
Because he is really wearing a lion's skin.
A dark bald head poked out of the lion's open mouth. In the hot weather, his whole body was covered by this lion skin, and his exposed hands and feet were also dark.
If it weren't for seeing his smoky gray eyes, Yun Chu would have thought that this guy was a Kunlun slave.
Seeing Yun Chu looking at him, he stared at Yun Chu without fear. Seeing that Yun Chu didn't look away, he handed the remaining naan cake to Yun Chu.
"Is he the only one?" Yunchu asked Yin Erhu.
Yin Erhu said, "When we met him in Liangzhou, he was the only one with no entourage. We also inquired and found out that his name was indeed Bagman. We also tested his skills. He was indeed worthy of the bravery that the Marquis said.
invincible
Yunchu glanced around and took the naan bread from Bagman and asked in reply, "Are you Bagman?"
Bagman, who was huddled under the city wall, jumped up, opened his arms to hug Yun Chu, and said loudly, "My brother, they don't allow me to enter Chang'an City. I really want to see this paradise city. You
Can you take me in and take a look?"
Yunchu smiled and avoided Bagman's embrace, looked into his smoky gray eyes and said, "Are you here for a decisive battle in Chang'an City?"
Bagman laughed and said, "Yes, yes, someone gave me a bag of gold coins and asked me to challenge a monkey."
Yunchu turned his body slightly and continued, "Can you find the monkey?"
Bagman shook his head and said, "They said there's no need to look for it, the monkey will come find me when the time comes."
Yun Chu smiled and put his hands on Bagman's shoulders. Bagman's shoulders suddenly sank, and his back collapsed. However, after reaching this step, this guy's thick thigh muscles were exposed.
He was tense, his tanned feet stepped on the ground, and his figure was unwilling to continue to fall. Yun Chu's hands on his shoulders turned into grasping, grabbing the lion skin, and with a loud shout, he was about to lift Bagman from the ground and swing him.
After a circle, smash it to the ground.
But there was a cracking sound, and Bagman's lion skin was scratched by Yun Chu, and it split from Bagman's body. Bagman's body was still standing firmly on the ground.
Yunchu raised his right foot and kicked Bagman's calves, thighs, waist, and lower abdomen five times in a row, trying to neutralize his strength.
Bagman's left leg was shaking until he was kicked in the lower abdomen. He could no longer hold on and kneeled on the ground with his left knee. Yunchu landed on his right foot and used his right leg as an axis to rotate his left leg.
He swung it and struck Bagman's head like a giant axe.
Bagman avoided his head and hit his shoulder hard with this leg. Yun Chu did not hear the sound of the shoulder blade breaking, but instead heard a thud. While his left leg was resting on Bagman's shoulder, he
His right leg curled up, and his right knee slammed into Bagman's face fiercely.
Bagman's right arm stretched out in front of him, but he was too hasty and did not use any strength. Yun Chu's knee hit his arm, and his arm hit his tall nose backwards, waiting for Yun Chu's body to turn back.
, when he landed again, Bagman's face was already covered with flowers, especially his nose. The first half of the bridge of his nose collapsed and he was bleeding profusely.
Yunchu picked up half a piece of naan bread that fell on the ground, dusted it off and handed it to Bagman, who was waiting for him. "I hurt you, so I must treat you to a sheep."
At this time, Bagman's lion skin had been torn into two halves by Yun Chu and fell to the ground. However, there was not a single thread on Bagman's body, and he stood under the Chang'an City like a symbol of maleness.
Bagman faced the admiring gazes of the men of the Tang Dynasty and the intoxicated gazes of the women. He picked up the lion skin from the ground with his bare buttocks and handed it to Yun Chu, saying, "You still have to pay for my lion skin."
Yunchu smiled slightly and threw the dust-proof cloak on the maroon horseback to Bagman and said, "This is Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, the most glorious city in the world. If you don't wear clothes, you will be treated as a savage."
Bagman spit out the blood in his mouth, wrapped himself in a cloak and pinched his nose with his hands. The nose that had been flattened by his arm returned to its original shape. He then picked up a huge sheepskin water bag from the ground and poured some water out of it.
He washed the blood stains on his face carelessly and asked Yunchu, "Do you have any wine?"
Yun Chu threw his jug to Bagman, and the guy pulled out the stopper and drank Yun Chu's jug of rice wine, which contained two kilograms.
After drinking, he handed the wine bottle to Yun Chu and said, "It's too bland."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "There is strong wine. Let's go. I will take you to visit the most magnificent city in the world."
Bagman picked up his huge animal skin package and followed Yun Chu into Chang'an City without any suspicion.
Standing on Zhuque Street, Bagman's big mouth never closed again. Faced with his expression, no one in Chang'an was surprised. A savage came to Chang'an. This was their basic expression.
Yin Erhu came over and said, "Master Hou, be careful of fraud."
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "Continue to find Bagman. This person is not our target."
For the rest of the day, Yun Chu and Bagman wandered around half of Chang'an City under the scorching sun.
He took Bagman to eat a whole roasted lamb, took him to drink the most powerful antiseptic in Chang'an City, took him to take the most comfortable bath in Bagman's life, and took him to a clothing store to buy something.
He bought a hunting suit from the Tang Dynasty that was most suitable for him, and took him to disturb the most beautiful dancer in Chang'an City at noon to watch others dance. Finally, he came to Jinchangfang to thoroughly taste the food in the big cafeteria.
.
By this time, the sky had darkened.
When passing by a stall selling candied haws, Yunchu took two bunches of candied haws and handed them to Bagman.
Bagman bit into the candied haws without any doubt, and ate them with great pleasure.
Seeing that the Yun family's mansion was in front of him, Yun Chu looked back at Bagman and said, "There are some people I care about most living there, so you can't go in. You are a guest from afar, and I have done my best."
As a courtesy of the master, now it’s time for you to go where you want to go.”
Bagman looked at Yun Chu in confusion and said, "My friend, I only know you in this city, and you broke my nose and tore my skin. No matter what, you should take me with you."
Go to your home and receive hospitality like a distinguished guest."
A thin fishing net came down from above, almost invisible in the half-dark sky. The fishing net shone on Bagman, and he asked doubtfully, "What is this?"
Yun Chudao said, "It is a kind of fishing net woven from mulberry silk. This kind of thing has no other benefits except being tough. It is very good for catching people."
"Am I not your friend?" Bagman asked Yunchu, throwing away the baggage in his hand.
Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I really want to treat you as a friend, but you only think about how to kill me."
Bagman pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'm here to kill the monkey."
When Yunchu saw that Zhang Jia and the bad guys had already closed down the net, he said calmly, "According to the rules of the Shi Kingdom, I treat you to meat, drink, give you good clothes, listen to music, and see beautiful women, so you should help me with this."
This is something I can do to repay my kindness."
"I am not Bagman, my name is Bu Langzi!" "The name Uighur elders call their juniors, generally used for men."
Yun Chu looked at this lion-like man and said, "Whose prodigal son are you? Bagman's?"
Bu Langzi shook his head and said, "No."
Yun Chu walked around Bu Langzi and said, "Among the ten countries in the Western Region, the people of the Shi Kingdom are the best at deceiving people. People there often say that the people of the Shi Kingdom can deceive people when an eagle falls on the ground, so I can't believe what you say."
if"
"I am a prodigal, I never lie to others."
Yunchu sighed and said, "From the time we met until now, you have lied to me at least three times, to the restaurant owner once, to the diva in the restaurant once, to the dancer to sleep with you once, and to the owner of the clothing store once, and finally...
"I secretly took away someone's piece of clothing" "So, you are a liar and a real Shiguo native"
Bu Langzi grabbed the fishing net with both hands and prepared to tear it apart.
Just listen to Yun Chu say, "You will only cut your hands if you do this, and it will not do anything."
"I heard that you Tang people are the biggest liars in the world. You deceived our women, cattle and sheep in the Western Regions, and also deceived us to help you fight in the war. People in Shiguo don't lie. Let go of this thing and let's discuss it carefully.
"
Yun Chu said to Bu Langzi, "This is the fourth time you have lied to me."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Bu Langzi roaring, and the muscles on his body rose up and were about to tear the fishing net. Unfortunately, those thin silk threads could not withstand such strength and quickly penetrated into the flesh. Bu Langzi screamed in pain.
Yelled.
Seeing the fishing net being tightened, Yun Chu looked at Bu Langzi who was tightly wrapped in the fishing net, and said to Zhang Jia, "Leave it to Yan Jiu, I want to know the truth."
