Just when the two Raojiang women were eating their fill, the young man stood up quietly and wanted to run away. He didn't want her to feel sad and haggard because of him.
But he still doesn't understand.
Some fates cannot be avoided.
"Little brother, are we two monsters? Do you want to sneak away again?" the leader of the group, the woman from Raojiang, said with an unhappy expression.
"You two girls, I have something important to do. I'm sorry that I can't be your guide." The young man apologized.
"No, you are not allowed to leave unless you explain clearly why you suddenly covered your face."
The figure of the leading woman from Raojiang flashed and once again stood in front of the young man.
See the situation.
The young man helplessly held his forehead, secretly made an inconspicuous gesture, and once again blocked the royal guards who wanted to rush up and capture this Luojiang woman.
"If I have to ask for one reason, it would be that I am naturally shy, especially when I see beautiful girls." The young man said plausibly.
"Am I beautiful? It's useless to praise me. I really can't promise you now!"
The leading woman from Raojiang pursed her red lips. She didn't know what was wrong with her. Her heartbeat had never been faster and she didn't want him to leave her sight.
Maybe.
This is what the Central Plains people call love at first sight!
The other side.
In a secret corner, there are more than a dozen figures hiding.
"You are saying that His Majesty has repeatedly rejected us, could it be that he has taken a liking to this Raojiang mother and daughter?"
"I don't know, but I feel that the young Raojiang woman is interested in His Majesty."
"How can we see it?"
"Her eyes were shining. If she hadn't been worried about the influence, she might have kidnapped His Majesty."
"She dares!"
"Why don't you dare? I heard that this is the case in Raojiang. If you dare to love or hate, if you meet someone of the opposite sex you like, you will either be kidnapped back or stalk and beat you until you leave."
The few people speaking were all wearing black leather armor and long skirts, and were holding sharp daggers. They were all women, and most of their internal strength was around the small and middle heaven positions.
Together, they can temporarily stop a great leader, but this is enough, because they only need to buy a little time before countless bad people come to rescue him.
At the same time.
Above the heads of a dozen of them, on the roof of a slightly dilapidated building, sat a mature and beautiful woman.
"Xian Ginseng, the saint of Twelve Cave in Raojiang, and Chi Meng, the saint of Wandu Cave in Raojiang, weren't Xianshen banned from entering the creek forest? What did the mother and daughter do in the capital Chang'an?"
No one can answer her question.
However.
From her words, we can learn that the leading woman from Raojiang is Chi Meng, the saint of Wandu Cave in Raojiang, and the woman who was banned from entering and dying in the creek forest is Xiangshen, the saint of Twelve Cave in Raojiang.
At this time.
Under the stubborn entanglement of the leading woman from Raojiang, Chi Meng, the saint of Raojiang Ten Thousand Poison Cave, the young man finally agreed to be their mother and daughter's guide.
Although he understands that things in future memories will no longer happen.
But he still felt a trace of unspeakable guilt deep in his heart towards her.
......
Half an hour later.
On a busy street, a man and two women walked side by side, but there was nothing noteworthy about the three of them, because there were more people on this street than they deserved to pay attention to.
In addition to the locals of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City served as the capital.
There are also people from the Western Regions, Mobei, Tulu, Koryo, Japanese... and other countries. They come from all over and different countries.
These foreigners all have different appearances, and they all have their own purposes here.
Some people come for business, some come for fun, and some want to live quietly in this city and become citizens of the Tang Dynasty.
However, officials of the Tang Dynasty took these matters very seriously. Foreigners who did not have a household registration in the Tang Dynasty could not rely on them and would eventually be deported back to their country.
It’s no wonder they do this. They yearn for beautiful places, a beautiful life, and a beautiful culture. This is a desire engraved in everyone’s bones.
Although today's Tang Dynasty is not as prosperous as when all nations came to the dynasty, there are vassal kings and envoys inside, and there are Mobei Dynasty, Tulu Kingdom and other small countries outside.
However, after the successful restoration of the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty chose Chang'an as the capital to hold the enthronement ceremony, and the Tang Dynasty once again became the center of the world.
For these foreigners, the Tang Dynasty was the center of the world, and the capital Chang'an was even more sacred. Even the air was sweeter than the country where they lived.
"Brother, let me introduce myself. I'm from Raojiang. You can call me Chi Meng." Chi Meng was jumping back and forth, looking very happy.
"I'm her mother, little baby, just call me Xian Shen!" Xian Shen said calmly.
"My name is Li Xing...Li Xianyun." The young man touched his nose in embarrassment.
"What did you say? You said your name was Li Xingyun? Wait...you didn't say you were the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, right?" Chi Meng said with a suspicious look.
She looked at the young man carefully, and she really didn't feel that he had any majesty from the emperor.
The whole person looks so elegant and easy-going, and he has nothing to do with the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
In her heart.
The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was always cold-faced and would chop off people's heads at every turn. He was tall and thick, with a tiger's back and waist, a fierce man who could kill a tiger with one slap.
It’s no wonder she has such strange thoughts.
Because since the Han Dynasty, the soldiers of the Han army in the border areas have looked like this. They are all tall and strong, and they will bully the nomads on the grassland when they have nothing to do.
Yes, it is difficult to say internally about the Han soldiers at this time, but they bullied these nomads as their grandsons and bullied them as much as they wanted, which was the reason why the Han Dynasty had the regret of being destroyed by force.
In addition, there was also a rumor at this time that one man had five beards on his head. For this reason, someone specially coined the word Dahan to describe the strong physique of the Han people and the tall and powerful image of the Han people.
Now from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty...
Although they have experienced many dynasty changes, the Han people stationed in the frontier armies of the Tang Dynasty are all physically tall and fierce.
Not only does it have strong muscles and a long back and waist, one-on-one, it is like squeezing an ant to death of a foreigner, and the organized army is not comparable to foreigners.
Let’s put it this way.
A frail, fair-looking man is completely unqualified to join the army. He is simply not comparable to the frail scholar dynasty of later generations.
Today's Tang Dynasty, although it has experienced thirty years of decline, the troubled times have been suppressed by the old monster who has not died for three hundred years, and the foundation is not bad.
.......
"This is the capital at the feet of the emperor. Don't hurt me by talking nonsense. This person is the first who dares to be the first for the world, not the star in the stars." The young man explained quickly.
"That's right. Li Xingyun is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, how could he eat on the street." Chi Meng immediately nodded affirmatively, and she thought her guess was accurate.
But at this moment.
Chi Meng's mother, Xian Ginseng, looked at the young man and then at the dozens of hidden auras around her. With a flash of her eyes, she had already guessed the young man's true identity.
As the Saint of the Twelve Cave of Raojiang, she senses the enemy not through the sense of internal force breath, but through various tiny and undetectable insects to sense the breath of living people around her.
Things like internal strength can be hidden. A master who likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger will not be able to see it at all if he doesn't take action. After all, the level of internal strength is not written on the head of a living person.
"Li Xianyun...Li Xingyun..." Xian Shen's heart moved slightly, but she did not speak to expose him.
At this point she finally understood.
Since coming to the young man's side, why have the Gu insects under my control been in a state of uneasiness? It turns out that there is a master who has been secretly watching me.
This master...
At least he is a great master, even if he is very difficult to deal with.
Just when Xianshen was meditating secretly.
An exclamation sounded on the street, attracting the attention of many people, including a young man and a group of three people.
Look up.
I saw a blond and blue-eyed businessman from the Western Regions, and he was grabbed by the arm by a citizen of the Tang Dynasty.
Although the merchant from the Western Regions is not too thin, there is still a slight physical difference compared to the latter's burly and powerful body.
"Hey, Frost, there's something wrong with what you're selling me." This is a burly man, wearing a layer of animal skin with unknown patterns carved on it.
At this time, he was holding a black and white puppy in his hand. However, the puppy looked half-dead, and he felt that it would not survive tonight.
"Oh...impossible, there's nothing wrong with my things." Frost Everett, a businessman from the Western Regions, said with a headache.
"What the hell, it's almost dead, and you still say it's okay!" the burly man said loudly.
"Please, my friend, I have told you many times, my full name is Frost Everett, can you please remember it carefully and don't always call me Frost." Western Region
Businessman Frost-Everett said speechlessly.
I have to say.
Even as a businessman from the Western Regions, his Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty is still very standard. If he covers his blond hair and blue eyes, he is no different from a native of the Tang Dynasty.
"Stop talking nonsense, this dog looks like it's going to die, please give me your money back!" The burly man frowned.
"You can't retreat, my friend. I've told you that this dog has some health problems and I advise you not to buy it. But you thought it looked very distinctive, so you bought it anyway." Frost-Eye, a businessman from the Western Regions
Frit said speechlessly.
He had no intention of selling this dog from a distant place, because this was a foreign country after all, and he had to pay attention to the impact when doing business and try not to offend the people of the Tang Dynasty.
As a result, the burly man opposite found that the black and white puppy looked very recognizable, so he bought the sick puppy regardless of his own obstruction.
"I don't care. I thought it was a minor illness and it would be over after just a few antibiotics. Who would have thought that in less than half a day, you would sell me this dog and it would end up like this."
"Please, my friend, you can't do this. It's clearly because you gave it something that caused its condition to deteriorate sharply."
"I didn't!"
"My friend, you speak with your conscience in mind. Look at the food residue left in the corner of its mouth."
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's just normal feeding. Are you not allowed to eat it? Will it starve to death?"
"Oh, my friend, of course you have to eat, but before that, its condition was not that serious. If it becomes like this in half a day, you must have fed it something you shouldn't."
Just as the two of them were arguing about this, a group of people wearing yamen uniforms came over. They were all yamen officials under the Chang'an prefect.
"Stop! This is the capital of the Tang Dynasty, at the feet of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. You two are fighting on the street. What is going on?" the leading Yamen official asked coldly.
While he was speaking, several other Yamen officials pulled away from the burly man and Western Region businessman Frost Everett to prevent the two from suddenly starting a fight.
Although neither of them has weapons in their hands, this is the capital of the Tang Dynasty after all, and there are people from foreign countries everywhere. We must pay attention to and maintain the image of the Tang Dynasty as a celestial country to the outside world.
......
A few minutes later.
This yamen official already knew what was going on.
If we look at the facts alone, this burly man is a little unjust. After all, the other party has already said that this is a sick puppy, but he still wants to buy it in the end.
Now this little puppy's condition has worsened, and it looks like he won't survive tonight, so he shamelessly wants the other party to refund his money, which is a bit unjustifiable.
But it is not the attitude of Datang to let its own people suffer.
"Fro...what is Everett?" asked the leading Yamen official.
"Yes, sir, my name is Frost Everett." Frost Everett, a businessman from the Western Regions, took the trouble to explain his real name.
He knew that his name was a little longer than the people of the Tang Dynasty, but there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't just use his name for this reason.
"Your name is really long, I'm too lazy to remember it, but I already understand the matter clearly. You can either come with us to the Yamen, or give him a refund. You can choose one!" asked the leading Yamen official.<
/p>
Faced with such eccentric processing results.
Frost Everett, a businessman from the Western Regions, just sighed slightly in his heart. He didn't say much. If the other party doesn't favor his own people, how can he favor a foreigner like himself?
As for a trip to the Yamen...
It's not like he's never been there before, and the result won't be much better. He might even get a slap in the face. When doing business in a foreign country, it's inevitable to suffer losses.
Thinking about this.
"Sir, I choose the second one and refund the money." Frost Everett, a businessman from the Western Regions, said in a respectful tone.
Finished.
He took out a bunch of copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the burly man unwillingly.
But what can I do if I don’t want to give in?
After all, this is a foreign country.
When you go out, you have to admit your losses.
"Very good, what the hell... You are very knowledgeable and a smart person. Only smart people can make big money." The leading Yamen official nodded slightly.
His ideas are not complicated either.
In the land of the Tang Dynasty, whether they are people from the Western Regions, Mobei people, or even people from other foreign countries, they are inherently inferior to the people of the Tang Dynasty.
He is not the only one who thinks this way, most officials of the Tang Dynasty think so. Even if our Tang Dynasty sinks for thirty years, as long as it is restored, it will still be the great kingdom it once was.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Frost Everett, a businessman from the Western Regions, asked tentatively.
"It's okay, you can go." The leading Yamen official waved his hand.
He does have some partialities, but he will not go out of his way to find excuses to deliberately deprive these foreign businessmen from foreign lands.
It's just that if they want to do business on this land, suffering losses is what they must experience.
Although to put it bluntly, it is just a small matter of refunding money, the people of the Tang Dynasty cannot bear any loss.
Just when Frost Everett, a businessman from the Western Region, picked up the puppy and left dejectedly.
Chi Meng, who had been watching for a long time, couldn't help but said: "Mom, that puppy is so cute!"
"There are evil insects in that dog's body, eating away at its life." Xianshen said calmly.
"Damn it, don't tell me that you have to pay for it." The young man said with strange eyes.
For some reason, he felt that this dog's eyes were very 'smart', and he felt that the whole dog was not very smart, much worse than the common big yellow dogs.
"What's not allowed? This little puppy is so pretty!" Chi Meng said without turning around.
"It's a pity that it's a female, so it's not easy to breed." The fresh ginseng looked a little regretful.
"Hey, that person holding the puppy, I want to buy one of your sick dogs." Chi Meng shouted loudly.
I heard a voice ringing in my ears.
Frost Everett, a businessman from the Western Regions, stopped and looked back at Chi Meng, Xian Ginseng, and a young man who did not want to reveal his real name.
"Do you want to buy it? It is very ill now and I'm afraid it won't survive tonight." Frost Everett, a businessman from the Western Region, asked curiously.
He wondered why anyone would buy this dog, when it looked like it was about to die.
"Don't worry, we won't refund the money." Chi Meng nodded and said.
"Hmph, you are not ordinary people of the Tang Dynasty. Looking at your clothes, I can tell that you are all from the Rao border around the Tang Dynasty. If you want to retreat, I will not retreat." Frost Everett, a businessman from the Western Regions, secretly complained in his heart.
Tao.
But no matter what I think in my heart.
Frost Everett, a businessman from the Western Regions, still looked kind on the surface and said: "Friend, the first thing I want to say is that I don't know what's wrong with it, but it is already dying. If you want
If you want to eat dog meat, it’s best not to buy sick dogs. I still have many healthy and strong dogs.”
Naturally, he couldn't just have this sick dog. He hoped that Chi Meng could buy a healthy dog.
Not only is the price low, but it also saves a lot of trouble.
"No, I want this one." Chi Meng shook his head.
Seeing her firm attitude, Frost Everett, a businessman from the Western Regions, stopped trying to persuade her and said, "Okay, if you like it, I'll give it to you fifty cents cheaper."
"Then it's settled!" Chi Meng said happily.
Pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand.
Both of them looked very happy.
One party received fifty copper coins.
One party got his beloved puppy.
"Woof woof woof!" The extremely weak dog barked.
"Mom, what should I do? I'll do it myself, for fear of accidentally killing it." Chi Meng carefully handed the black and white puppy to Xian Ginseng.
"This is simple, read it well, and learn it well. This is also something you will master in the future."
With a flick of fresh ginseng's white fingers, an invisible bug flew out from the purse on her waist, and then went straight into the body of the black and white puppy.
Ten minutes later.
What can be seen with the naked eye is that this little black and white puppy managed to stand up and regained some of its vitality. It no longer looked half-dead.
"Woof woof woof..." A weak dog barks.
"Hey, dead dog, get away, she is your master." The young man kicked the black and white puppy away.
