Chapter 591 13 A House Deed (3)
The diplomatic embassy of the Tang Dynasty is an all-wooden building. Google Search Reading The reason why wood is used instead of stone, which is common in the western continent, is because the Tang Dynasty in the East was prosperous during the Shenlong period.
As the number of merchants in the Tang Dynasty increased, the empress "Wu Zetian" wanted to build the tallest store in the Byzantine Kingdom to demonstrate the prestige of the Tang Dynasty.
In Constantinople, where most shops have only two floors, the six-story "Tingfeng Pavilion" is not as high as Hagia Sophia, but it still stands out among the city's shopping streets.
After slowly annexing the entire street, Tingfeng Pavilion also began to expand to the left and right, eventually becoming a giant building complex with more than 100 rooms and a construction area of more than 8,000 square meters.
Ordinary Roman citizens would occasionally enter it and be intoxicated by the oriental aesthetics reflected in the carved beams and paintings, as well as the exquisite goods displayed in the showrooms. But only the successive Tang envoys knew that the most valuable treasure in the entire building was the three space portals collected from all over the Western Continent.
The space portal is the technology of the Outer Gods.
Gods such as the Scarlet Creator, the Asa Clan, and Amon the Hidden One all have their own unique ways of folding space.
Human civilization has developed to the current stage, no matter in the Eastern or Western continents, the understanding of space magic is still at a very primitive stage.
No mortal can forge a space portal.
All portals used in human civilization were excavated from the ruins of the outer gods.

After a while, when Concubine Xue returned, what she saw was Junzi Shang grabbing a bunch of juicy grapes on the table and stuffing them into his mouth.
Grapes can be found everywhere in the Western Continent. They are so common that farmers cannot sell them at a good price, so they can only crush the grapes and ferment them to make wine.
But this juicy fruit is not something you can see every day in the Eastern Continent. Even if Tang Xianzong and Li Shi wanted to eat a few, it would take a lot of trouble.
In front of Concubine Xue, Shang Junzi could put away the tight face in front of outsiders and become a 23-year-old young man again.
He and Concubine Xue were not much different in age, and they were both survivors who graduated from the Assassin Academy. Before Concubine Xue came out, Shang Junzi was the most powerful sword in the hands of the Legalist mentor.
But now the situation has changed dramatically.
Concubine Xue completed a task that was impossible in the eyes of a mortal. She became the second mortal after the Viking lord "Loki Starrag" to wield the Illuminati leader.
It's just that unlike the King of Paris who successfully killed the gods in full view of the public, Concubine Xue's achievements were spread among the ears of a very small number of mortals.
Even the vast majority of people are temporarily unable to judge whether it is true or false.
"Did the old guy still say nothing?"
Concubine Xue shook her head gently.
Haha, Shang Junzi turned over and jumped, his body lying loosely on the sofa was like a flexible carp, and he instantly landed in front of Concubine Xue.
"My dear junior sister, how many times have I advised you to use your resources wisely?"
When he mentioned the word capital, he couldn't help but glance at the girl's straight chest.
"Don't look at cardinals. Cardinals are essentially a group of lonely old men without wives. With Euseubi's appearance, I even doubt that he has never touched a few women in his life."
"You just need to reach out and hold his thin paw with your white and tender hands, and let him touch the wonderful touch a little. The old guy may tremble in his heart and say everything."
"If he is willing to pay more, maybe he will kneel down and propose to you."
Concubine Xue looked at Mr. Shang and rolled her eyes helplessly.
Back in the Assassin Academy, this guy was famous throughout the school for his foul mouth and dirty hands. I don't know how many brothers and sisters wanted to get rid of him secretly, but every time he went into the mountains, he was the one who came out alive.
During several trial operations within the mountain gate, the two had several experiences of teaming up to survive, so they were no strangers to each other.
"Shut your stupid mouth! Eat your grapes!"
Concubine Xue reached into her arms, took out a brown paper bag from the hidden pocket of her snow-white robe and threw it over.
"The 'King Scorpion Bone Powder' you want can enhance your abilities in that area."
Concubine Xue's pink face turned red subconsciously. She certainly knew that many of her colleagues in the school did not mind using their bodies as weapons. But in Concubine Xue's opinion, if she can use her mind and martial arts, her body does not need to be defiled by men.
The gentleman Shang opposite her was obviously in sharp contrast to her.
As long as it's a woman, as long as that woman knows some valuable information. No matter tall or short, fat or thin, young or old, this guy has always been cold and fearless.
He was very excited to see the legendary King Scorpion Bone Powder. It is said that as long as you pick a bit of this thing with your fingernail and inhale it into the nasal cavity, it can keep a person invincible for up to an hour.
Concubine Xue went into the black desert and brought out a large bag for him.
This weight is enough to last him 3 years.
"Haha, you are indeed my friend!" Shang Junzi leaned over with a ghostly figure while laughing, and kissed Concubine Xue's soft earlobe like a chicken pecking at rice.
Concubine Xue never expected that this annoying disciple would dare to come forward like this. In her astonishment, two daggers appeared in her hands, and Shang Junzi hurriedly distanced herself from her.
He knew the power of the dagger in the hands of this iceberg beauty.
That’s why he didn’t forcefully kiss her rosy lips, but chose a rather conservative part. If Concubine Xue really went crazy, he wouldn’t be sure to escape from the stranglehold of the two thin knives.
“If you do this again, you will lose that troublesome mouth forever!”
After jumping across the gates of hell once, Shang Junzi did not repent or question at all.
“My dear Junior Sister, it’s not a bad thing to face the needs of the body.”
“Let’s not talk about you for now, before the dead Green Eyebrow boarded the ship, I found a few strong men with big penises and good sex, wanting our poor Junior Sister Green to taste the happiness of a woman.”
“The men didn’t dislike her fierce poison, but I didn’t expect this little girl to be unhappy.”
“That’s good now, she’s gone without even tasting the taste of a man, huh”
“I say, Junior Sister Xue, seeing your reaction of squirting when you were touched, you’re not a virgin, are you? Do you want me to help you?”
Before Shang Junzi finished speaking, the two thin knives slid into Concubine Xue’s hands again. He laughed dryly twice, and immediately gave up the idea of teasing this junior sister.
This iceberg beauty is not a character that cannot be teased. In the future, the two of them will inevitably help each other in this city. If he really annoys her, it will be a troublesome thing for him.
"Here, the cherry pastry you want."
Shang Junzi turned over and took out an exquisite wooden box, and handed it to Concubine Xue who was not far in front of him.
"The craftsmanship of the red-collared master of 'Su Hongchang' in Chang'an City. I know you like it, so I bought a few boxes for you before leaving."
"If it weren't for the right prime minister allowing us to use the space portal, hehe, you really couldn't eat this."
Occasionally, Tang merchants would bring some vegetarian pastries on the Silk Road. But these pastries are often heavy in oil and sugar, because only this kind of pastry can survive the journey of nearly 1 year and remain uncorrupted.
Concubine Xue is not close to men, and she doesn't like women's clothes. Most of the things that women like are floating clouds in her eyes. Only Shang Junzi accidentally knew that she liked the cherry pastry sold in the old pastry shop "Su Hongchang" in Chang'an City.
Su Hongchang is an old Chinese pastry shop. The "red-robed chefs" in the shop are a group of white-case chefs who specialize in serving Westerners in Chang'an City.
They are good at mixing fruits, butter and cheese from the West into Chinese pastries. They make Chinese pastries that suit the tastes of Western merchants.
Cherry pastry is one of the hot-selling pastries in the shop.
The red-robed chefs boil the fully dried and dehydrated cherries into a thick jam, and then wrap them in a layer of pre-fermented cream cheese.
This is used as a filling and wrapped in butter pastry.
A small piece of pastry costs 15 coins. This is a fine delicacy that only wealthy families can afford in Chang'an City.
Opening the wooden box, Concubine Xue saw densely packed vegetarian pastries. Take one out and put it in your mouth. The sourness of the cherry and the mellowness of the cheese blend perfectly together.
There is no time to savor it carefully. I only heard a slight sound from the door behind me.
Gu Huai'an appeared in front of the two before the sun set.
