Chapter 54
The young man clasped his hands and replied: "It's freezing cold, who dares to go to Xirong? Everyone, you should wait until the snow melts in spring!" Wukong had expected it a long time ago, and only said: "I will tell you the truth, my master and apprentice. Traveling to the West, the distance is extremely long, until the barbarians in the extreme west, if you don't dare to venture like this, you may not be able to travel for seven or eighty years."
The young man couldn't bear to watch them die, so he just refused to say anything.
Finally, Wukong smiled and said: "The little brother has someone familiar with him. He is familiar with Qin Guo to Yiqu, and he is familiar with him. He can be a guide for us. If you go west to Yiqu like this, there are doors on the left and right."
"This is a way. If someone talks about making peace, then the king of Yiqu admires the culture of the Central Plains and may not embarrass the two great sages." The young man said: "However, you still have a way to survive in Yiqu. After all, Yiqu and our Zhu Xia It used to be friendly, but it must not go further west. The ghost people over there live with demons and ghosts, they are very evil, eat people's hearts, almost like ghosts."
"Moreover, the old Yiqu king favored people from the middle land. Later, the Jin people were trusted by King Yu Deyiqu and sent them to our country. The former king saw that Yu was familiar with Yiqu's geography and customs, so he lured him with a lot of money and tried to separate him from Yiqu king. You Yu was called to vote for our old Qin. Later, Yu Yu was appointed as a general, winning consecutive battles, benefiting the country twelve times, and opening up thousands of miles. The current King Yiqu is the son of the old king. He is very wary of the scholars in the Central Plains because of this matter. If you want to gain his trust and send troops to protect your westward journey and not be harmed by those small tribes, there will be many difficulties."
Wukong nodded and said: "It's okay, it's okay, our masters and apprentices are not afraid of many obstacles, but we are afraid that we will be stuck on the road and cannot make it. As long as we walk on the road, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles it has, my old grandson will overcome it!"
"If you insist on this, come with me there! We often go to Yiqu for business and know many people who are familiar with Yiqu's family. Of course, we Qin people don't want to go to die with you, but there are many miscellaneous people here. When Yiqu ceded the land, the dog soldiers left behind were greedy for property and would not hesitate to live or die, if you bribe them with a lot of money, they will definitely be willing." The young man said.
"It's just that those miscellaneous soldiers have no faith and are very greedy. I'm afraid that they will collude with the dog soldiers of Yiqu for money and kill you. If they come back alone with their money, I will kill that person! You have revenge!"
Of course Wukong would not be harmed by a little dog, but he also accepted his request and thanked him with cupped fists.
That young man's family property is huge, just a herd of cattle and horses amounting to thousands, and he said he wanted to kill Hu to avenge them. His family must be a wealthy businessman from the state of Qin, so he handed over the whip to the shepherd, and took Chen Ang and others to his house. The young man's family was engaged in animal husbandry business, and he also managed some goods from various countries. At this time, the merchants were no better than those of later generations. The real family was from all over the world. Because there were many wars and chaos in various countries, the circulation of goods was not smooth, and the price difference between high and low was huge. Rich, and because of the confrontation between countries, the risk of trade is extremely high.
Therefore, a real big businessman, every time he does business, is like a small army. While guarding against thieves from all over the world who gather thousands of people at every turn, he guards against armies from various countries. The boy's father is even worse. A large herd of cattle and horses, how can these animals be housed in one place? Chasing aquatic plants every day, dividing the herds of cattle on various pastures, and then rushing to various places to sell them at a fixed season, so the full-frame property is always carried.
The home of the young man is a market where the caravan camps. Lightweight sheds are scattered to build a market. The centerpiece is the father of the young man. A well-arranged caravan is surrounded by wanderers and scattered merchants who make a living. Most of them are miscellaneous beards. Presumably, most people in Qin have property and jobs, and disdain this kind of wandering life. Only the miscellaneous beards left by Yiqu in the past can adapt to this kind of life without a meal.
Chen Ang was riding a bronze ox cart at this time. The strong green ox with flat horns was nothing, but the bronze used for the body was very rare.
At this time, all countries were able to smelt iron, but in the land of China, the taste of iron ore was quite poor, and the smelting technology had not yet developed to that level, so the quality of pig iron was extremely poor, and it was called evil gold.
Bronze is good gold, and it is very valuable. Chen Ang rode a carriage made of bronze, and his ostentation was comparable to that of later generations riding a golden carriage. Non-big country princes could not be so extravagant.
Thinking about the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period, he is only known as the country of a thousand vehicles, and a chariot uses less than one-third of the bronze of Chen Ang's bronze chariot.
Chen Ang drove into the camp in such a ostentatious way, the boy's father heard about it, and came out to greet him, only to see a rich man with fat reserves that is most enviable in this world. Chen Ang looked at those bearded women and that man. His eyes were actually extremely admiring and admiring. Thinking about it, in the eyes of people at this time, the double chin on the outside of the rich man and the big belly are no less than the waistcoat muscles and mermaid lines that later generations say.
In addition to this fat official, in today's aesthetics, he might also be Pan An Songyu, a model of a domineering president who combines beauty and wealth.
The rich middle-aged man greeted each other with a smile on his face and said: "The two doctors came from a long way, but it was Zhu who was rude and failed to send someone to welcome them. I have ordered someone to set up a banquet to clean up the dust for the two doctors!" Chen Ang Rejecting and laughing: "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I think Chen is lacking in fortune. He always fails to have a good banquet. He went to the banquet a few times, and it hindered the master. Either the blood was splashed on the spot, or the soul died later. I accept you How can I hinder you when I invite you with great kindness? It is better to simply entertain, we still need the help of a gentleman in our westward journey."
Hearing his refusal like this, some people were dissatisfied, and a shrewd steward who followed Zhu Dahao smiled and said: "I don't know what kind of hindrance? Asking the guest to resign from my master's face?"
This is wrong to blame Chen Ang, he is very kind!
Chen Ang counted silently, the number of times he went to banquets was really not many, it was nothing more than a few times when he was in Shushan, or for birthday parties, or for gatherings.
It’s just that the result later was not very good. The birthday party lost his own life, and the crowd gathered to fight with him on the spot. Whether it was the host, the guest, the servant, or the chef, they basically died cleanly in the end. Counting carefully, those few banquets Most of the hosts and guests who drank were killed by him! There are also people who entertain like Zhu Dahao, the king of the Yurenhai Kingdom, it seems that he was killed by the prince! As for the guests in the seat, tell him to kill him on the spot.
And there is one who invited him to a banquet in this life, the one who posted the post, and the one who treated the guests, and now they are suffering together in the eighteenth floor of hell in the underworld, and they have become a pair of suffering brothers and sisters.
Chen Ang had no choice but to sigh and said: "The last time King Qin hosted a banquet, I made my apprentice make a fuss and beat him out of the royal court, just to scare my Queen Mother. I wonder if she has calmed down a bit?"
Zhu Dahao's face jumped wildly, his heart was inexplicably horrified, and he thought to himself: "It's hard! How did you provoke these evil stars to come here uninvited?"
Exactly: there is no good feast in life, and the birthday star is often called to meet the evil star!
