Fang Jun came here to do business. He chatted with a group of merchants for a while, made a promise, explained the importance of Da Nang to these overseas merchants, and showed the incomparable confidence that Long Qi gave these merchants. He politely declined the merchants' invitation to him.
Banquet proposal.
When the merchants gradually dispersed, Fang Jun retained the old man alone.
In the cabin, Fang Jun ordered his soldiers to serve fragrant tea and sat down opposite the old man.
Looking at the old man's slender face, I always felt that there was some charm hidden in his calm and light eyes. Moreover, his tall and thin figure seemed to be thin, but it gave people a kind of calmness and heaviness like a Yuan Ting Yue Zhi.
This is definitely not a simple character...
"Please forgive me for being stupid. I seem to have heard your name somewhere before, but I can't remember it for a moment. Can you tell me?"
"hehe……"
The old man smiled indifferently and did not answer Fang Jun's question. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He closed his eyes and savored the long and fragrant aftertaste of the top-quality Longjing. After a long time, he sighed softly: "Since the Tang Dynasty, this kind of tea drinking has spread
This way, the old man was attracted by the seemingly light but actually mellow taste and couldn't extricate himself. However, he was not blessed to enjoy the best tea. Compared with the tea he drank in the past, although it was not as different as heaven and earth, it was still inferior.
There are too many. If you taste it carefully today, you can truly call it the best tea."
Fang Jun is helpless, is this old guy playing tricks?
He didn't answer the old man's question, he just sipped the tea and recalled it over and over in his mind.
Zhang Zhongjian...
It sounds so familiar!
Where have you heard of this name?
Fang Jun frowned and drank tea subconsciously.
The old man smiled slightly, as if he believed that even if Fang Jun had heard of his name occasionally, he would never be deeply impressed by him at his age. Think about how many years has his name disappeared in the Central Plains?
Twenty years or thirty years?
What's more, even at the beginning, he was not a world-famous person. After learning a skill, he wanted to rise up in troubled times and start a vigorous career that would shine through the ages. However, who would have expected that the hero would be saddened by beauty, and an evil love affair...
His liver and intestines were broken, and all his passion was wasted.
Frustrated, he took a boat to the south, and since then he has been wandering around the world, dying alone...
"boom!"
Fang Jun slammed the table suddenly, startling the old man. The hot tea soup he just drank into his mouth almost burned his throat. He frowned and said displeased: "As a Marquis, the president of one party, he is so frivolous."
Isn’t it impetuous and profound at all?”
I thought that I had a fiery temper back then, and if it hadn't been that my temper had been tempered a lot over the years, Fang Jun's impoliteness would have been enough to make him furious, so he could teach this young man a lesson!
What about the Marquis?
In the eyes of Mr. Zhang, Li Er in the Tai Chi Palace is just a playboy who has won over the world by relying on his family background! Perhaps in the world, only his sworn brothers who have not seen each other for many years can make a difference.
Treat yourself with courtesy.
Of course, there is also the woman who enchants him but is heartbroken...
Fang Jun ignored the old man's words and pointed at the old man's nose with eyes full of disbelief: "You are a man with a beard!"
Now it was the old man's turn to be stunned.
This little kid is not simple, he actually knows my font size?
The old man looked at Fang Jun suspiciously: "Haha, you are quite knowledgeable. You actually know my bandit name back then. Are you familiar with Li Jing?"
Fang Jun's identity has long been spread in Linyi Kingdom. It is not a secret that he is the second son of Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. Given his age, he must have heard of his name from his sworn brother, right?
In terms of seniority, Fang Jun is Li Jing's junior, so the Fang family and the Li family probably have a good relationship.
Maybe, it’s not necessarily what I heard from Hongfu...
Zhang Zhongjian suddenly became enthusiastic.
If you really heard my name from Hong Fu, does it mean that Hong Fu has never forgotten me over the years?
At this time, Zhang Zhongjian suddenly realized that after decades of escaping, decades of seclusion, and decades of self-cultivation, he had not forgotten the obsession in his heart. He had only deliberately buried it in his heart. Once he was
Fang Jun said excitedly: "Why is it necessary for Duke Wei to talk about it? The names of the Three Heroes of Fengchen are so well known to my ears! Speaking of senior, you disappeared back then. It is rumored all over the world that you were injured and trapped by love, so you died.
Loveless, I wonder if it is true? Also, back then you were really attracted to Mrs. Li, but you did not want to hurt the brotherly relationship with Duke Wei, so you sadly quit and fulfilled your brother and your beloved woman? "
This is an eternal mystery!
Fang Jun seemed to be transformed into a paparazzi at this moment. He was extremely interested in this popular story and couldn't wait to learn the truth.
But I didn’t see that Zhang Zhongjian’s face was completely dark...
Isn't this bastard kid poking his own scars?
When Fang Jun saw Zhang Zhongjian's expression was abnormal, he realized that he had just touched upon the big boss's privacy. He quickly smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I'm just curious. Don't blame me, senior, don't blame me..."
Then he quickly changed the topic: "Senior, have you been staying in Linyi Country since you left the Central Plains?"
The Qiu-bearded guest has always been one of the most legendary figures in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties.
According to folklore, he crossed the sea and went south, recruiting troops. "With a thousand ships and a hundred thousand soldiers, he entered the Fuyu Kingdom, killed its master, and established himself." When Li Jing heard in Chang'an that the southeastern Fuyu Kingdom had been destroyed, he knew that his good brother Qiu Muke was
He realized his ambition and became the leader of the island country. He drank three glasses of wine and congratulated him from afar.
Could it be that he occupied an island on the sea near Linyi State and became the king?
Zhang Zhongjian snorted, and was quite displeased by the rude question just now, and said lightly: "No, I came to Linyi for trade. I met the Marquis by chance, but it just happened to be a meeting. I occupied the place
The island is thousands of miles south of Ryukyu. It has a humid climate and abundant products. However, it lacks iron tools. I came here to buy some pig iron. Moreover, the Tagalog people on the nearby large island have repeatedly invaded, so they have to build some weapons to defend against the strong.
enemy."
South of Ryukyu?
Could it be that the "Sanxiang Island" that was carried away by the storm when the navy came is still going south?
Fang Jun made a rough comparison of the geographical location in his mind and concluded that the island occupied by Zhang Zhongjian was probably in the Luzon Island area. However, the islands there were densely dotted, and he was not sure which one it was.
"Senior, why did you come to Linyi State to trade? If calculated based on distance, Panyu seems to be closer, right?"
Fang Jun was quite surprised by Zhang Zhongjian's behavior of seeking the far away rather than the near.
From Luzon Island to Linyi Country, you have to cross almost the entire South China Sea, and the risk is huge. If you want to go to Panyu, you only need to go all the way north around Ryukyu to get there. There are many islands and reefs on this route, so it is much safer.
.
Zhang Zhongjian seemed to be very unhappy with Fang Jun's endless questions about curious babies, and said angrily: "I was at odds with Feng An back then, and Panyu is now Feng An's territory. How can I trade with that treacherous and cowardly person?"
"
Yo ho!
Is there a story in between?
Feng Angna was the governor of Gaozhou and the Duke of Yue State, the official hegemon of the South of China, enthroned by His Majesty Li Er. He had a very high degree of autonomy in Lingnan, and he had a vague attitude of ceding territory to become king, and he was deeply jealous of the important officials in the court.
However, Zhang Zhongjian was from Yangzhou, and Feng An was a native of Gaozhou, and his title was also in Gaozhou. How could there be any relationship between these two people?
When Zhang Zhongjian saw Fang Jun's eyes shining brightly, he immediately regretted mentioning this matter.
Although the little guy in front of me has a high rank and a prominent official position, he is clearly a curious baby who is always asking questions, which is really annoying!
"Don't ask about the troubling dispute between X and Feng An. If you ask X, I won't tell you. The reason why I took the liberty to come here this time is because I have something to ask for."
For this big boss-level person who has been anonymous for decades to come here and ask for something, it must be something unusual, and it must be extremely difficult to handle.
But is this your attitude of asking for help?
Fang Jun straightened his back, leaned on the back of his chair, and said politely and humbly: "Senior, what are you talking about? Don't talk about things you don't ask for, juniors can't bear it... Well, this is the best Longjing tea. Looking at the world,
Apart from the palace and my father, this is the only place where you can taste it. Please try it carefully and I will bring you two taels when you leave later. It can be regarded as a tribute to the younger generation."
Zhang Zhongjian suddenly became angry.
This guy is so shameless...
Isn't it just that I didn't answer your in-depth questions, so I just started to make excuses?
