Chapter 265: Encounter with the Turks


The author has something to say: update first and catch bugs later.

Sorry for the interruption again.

I was in very bad shape the past two days, so bad that I could hardly form a fluent sentence.

I don't know if it was because my brain was weak or because my physical condition was really bad.

I barely managed to write a few paragraphs last night.

When I woke up this morning, I didn’t know what the hell I had written.

I deleted it and started over again.

From about 7 o’clock in the morning until now, I kept writing and writing, and finally wrote another chapter.

I hope Everyone will not be disappointed after watching it.

Zhao Chen is willing to send his family to go with them, which is naturally the best result.

The reason why Luo Yong showed him this packet of seeds was for this reason.

The road from Liangzhou City to Guazhou was more difficult and dangerous than the road from Chang'an to Liangzhou they had traveled before.

The men of the Zhao family often walked on the grassland.

Not only did they have rich experience, but they also had relatively high force values.

They said they were helping escort Qian Bo, but in fact, the most important thing was to escort Luo Yong and others to Changle County, Guazhou safely.

In this cold winter month, having to escort Luo Yong and others all the way to Guazhou is not something that can be exchanged for just a packet of seeds.

The reason why Zhao Chen is so happy is that he intends to continue to be on good terms with the Luo family.

After winter, many Zhao family members who were away from home have returned home.

Now, in addition to Shuozhou on Hedong Road, Liangzhou City has become their second stronghold.

Even with sufficient manpower, Zhao Chen was not stingy at all.

Two days later, when Luo Yong and others set off again, the troops sent by the Zhao family were already waiting outside Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop.

A total of more than thirty people came, all well-dressed men.

Among them, an experienced man who was very familiar with the Hexi Corridor was arranged to serve as a guide for Luo Yong and the others.

When the group set out on the road again, it was no longer the same situation as when they left Chang'an City.

They were a mighty group of thirty or forty people, all young and strong.

There were more than a dozen camels, several horses, and only a few donkeys.

One end.

Luo Yong had left the donkey they had bought in Chang'an City in Liangzhou City earlier because it was a little weak.

The five pairs seemed to be in good spirits, so Luo Yong let him continue walking with the team.

Anyway, they Driving a camel can't go very fast.

If the five pairs don't have to carry so much luggage, it will be easier to walk.

Most of these camels and horses were arranged by Zhao Chen.

Among them, two camels and three horses were bought by Luo Erniang.

They can not only carry goods, but also take turns if Luo Yong and others are tired along the way.

Sit and sit.

In addition to camels and horses, Luo Erniang also prepared a lot of warm clothing and various foods for them.

She even sewed a few pieces of gold and silver into Luo Yong's cotton clothes, just in case.

"Why don't you stay a few more days and you have to leave so soon?"

This morning, the busy Peng Ertian, Chonghu and others also took the time to come over and see Luo Yong and the others off.

Luo Yong met all of these people last night.

This kid Tian Chonghu has been working here for several years, and he has grown up a lot.

Now he looks much more mature and steady than before.

Peng Er hasn't changed much, he just looks more mature than before.

Sister Yin has changed a lot.

She has become much more cheerful than before, and is no longer as sad as before.

Of these two sisters, one lost her mother long ago and took handicraft work from Luo Yong when she was a child.

The other was kidnapped by gangsters.

Thanks to Luo Yong mobilizing the people of Lishi County, they were found with great difficulty.

Come back.

Now the two of them work in Luo Erniang's cashmere workshop, specializing in teaching people to knit sweaters.

Many female workers in this workshop call them Master Yin, Aunt Yin is Master Yin, and Yin Lan is Master Xiao Yin.

The two masters Yin looked like masters in front of others, but in private they were still children at heart.

They often acted coquettishly and asked Luo Erniang for canned food.

Luo Erniang was happy to pamper her two younger brothers and sisters because they were not around.

Peng Er, who was in charge of the food shop, was not easy to talk to.

If Peng Er's face became tense one day, they would know that they would not be able to eat the canned food again.

"When I come back next time, I will bring melons from Guazhou to eat with you."

Luo Yong said with a smile.

"The only thing missing are those two melons, which can be bought here."

Er Niang raised her hand to wipe away her tears.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry?

I thought you would stay at least four or five days this time."

Tian Chonghu said.

"I'm on my way to take up my post.

You think I'm just wandering around."

Luo Yong reached out and patted Tian Chonghu's arm.

The hand felt hard.

"Let's go, don't delay."

Seeing that it was getting late, Luo Erniang urged them to leave early.

"Sister, take care."

Luo Yong said solemnly.

"Take care of yourself, too."

Luo Erniang said, "When you first arrive at the place, don't compete with others in everything."

The people in the west are not as fierce as those in the Central Plains.

Luo Erniang is doing business in Liangzhou City, and she is well-informed.

In the market, I heard from the vendors who came to sell cashmere that there were fights again, and there were many casualties. people.

She was scared just hearing about such a thing.

This time Luo Yong was going to Changle County, Guazhou to take up a post, and Er Niang was worried that something like this would happen to him.

Those local powerful people didn't care about the imperial officials, just like this A few manpower is not enough for them to deal with.

"Sister, there is no need to worry so much."

Luo Yong said to her with a smile: "You have forgotten that when we were in Xipo Village, we started from scratch and built it bit by bit."

"How can Xipo Village be the same as Naguazhou?"

Even though Erniang said this, she still felt a lot more at ease.

I think back then, Saburo was only a teenager, and his brothers and sisters in the family were all so young, and their lives were getting better and better.

Now that Sanlang is older, he has grown from the frail boy back then into a humble gentleman.

This time, things should not be difficult for him.

The cold wind is blowing and the camel bells are melodious.

In human society more than a thousand years later, there will be cars, trains, and airplanes.

At this moment, Luo Yong and the others could only drive their animals and walk step by step across this vast land.

I was too tired.

The fatigue in my body was accumulating.

The short two days of rest in Liangzhou City was still far from enough.

Luo Yong always appeared to be in good spirits in front of Er Niang and the others.

In fact, he was too tired and never wanted to leave after arriving in Liangzhou City.

Those people probably just wanted him to freeze to death and die from exhaustion in this snowstorm.

In this era, how many demoted and exiled officials and ordinary people died on the way before reaching their destinations?

"Take a rest!"

Qiao Junlin saw that Luo Yong couldn't eat anymore, so he raised his voice and shouted to the people in front and behind the team. "" Luo fell sideways on the snow, closed his eyes, and listened to his pounding heartbeat and gasping for air, feeling that he didn't even want to move a finger anymore.

"Get up, don't lie here."

Qiao Junlin stepped on the thick snow, walked to Luo Yong in a few steps, stretched out his hands to lift him up, dragged him to the camel that was crouching on the ground, let him lean on the camel, and then took out the water from his arms Bag, feed Luo with drinking water.

"Drink this from me."

Luo Yong took two sips of water, and after regaining his breath, he took off the water bag from his waist and stuffed it into Qiao Junlin.

Qiao Junlin thought he thought his water bag was too heavy, so he took it and tried to help him drink a few sips to lose weight.

As soon as he took it and opened the lid, he smelled a strange smell, like the aroma of wine, but something unusual.

The aroma of the wine became stronger and clearer, and after one sip of the wine, it was so spicy that he almost burst into tears.

"Chili wine" Qiao Junlin choked and coughed twice and asked Luo Yong.

"Who knows, Yan is a secret technique passed down from our ancestors.

I saw that his wine was good and could ward off the cold, so I bought some."

Luo Yong said with a grin.

"When did you buy it?"

Qiao Junlin asked him.

"It was when we were in Liangzhou City."

Luo Yong said casually. "" Qiao Junlin raised his eyebrows and said nothing more.

When he was in Liangzhou City, Luo Yong was either with him or sleeping like a dead pig in his own room.

He still had time to go out and sell wine to cheat ghosts.

At this time, other people gathered around and asked how Luo Yong was doing and whether he could continue walking.

If they really couldn't go, they would camp here to rest after a while.

"Nothing, let's rest when we get to the inn ahead."

Luo Yong struggled to get up, took out several water bags from a bag carried on the back of a camel, and threw them to the young men one by one: "This The wine is strong and can drive away the cold, but don’t get drunk.”

Not long after, there were sounds of choking and coughing.

Most people in this era drank brewed wine, which had not been fired and had a relatively low alcohol content.

Luo used these, but they were all soju brewed from pure grains, and they were genuine and had not been mixed with water at all.

In the past, when he was collecting goods in the countryside, he collected them from an old country man.

Luo Yong only drank occasionally.

Those two large glass jars were enough for him to drink for decades.

This time it seems that Can't save it.

"Hiss" I drank the Shao Knife in one gulp, and my throat was burning.

After a while, my stomach became warm, and my body felt like a warm torch was lit, warming me from head to toe.

"What kind of wine is this?

Is it the chili wine that has been rumored recently?"

"But it doesn't look like it."

"This Luo Sanlang is really powerful.

He can get all kinds of good things.

No wonder now that he has been demoted from his official position, the master actually asked me to escort him all the way to Guazhou."

"In my opinion, it's still for Na Luo Erniang."

"Our husband will always think of Luo Erniang no matter what good things he has."

"Now in Liangzhou City, the name of Luo Erniang is even louder than that of our Zhao family."

"It's not just our Zhao family that protects us."

"Don't act recklessly, you know better" "What" "The cashmere clothes and pants you are wearing are all from her cashmere workshop.

I heard that the price she sold them to our Zhao family was only 80% of the market price."

"You guys are new to Liangzhou and don't understand the situation here.

Don't talk nonsense in the future."

"Today's Luo Erniang is no longer the Luo Erniang who first came to Liangzhou City."

"She's a little girl" "Bah, why can't you make sense?"

"Luo Erniang is very fair in her business.

Many merchants in the city respect her as a person.

I heard that she is also connected with several nomadic people on the grassland.

Those people sell cashmere directly to Luo Erniang's workshop.

I get more money from other vendors and it’s more stable.”

"Nowadays, who doesn't have the courage to touch her?"

"I heard that she also has friendship with Hu merchants from the Western Regions."

"That's because she has connections in Chang'an City and Lishi County, and those Hu businessmen want to make friends with her." "" Luo used the tips of his ears.

At this time, he was sitting not far away and could hear what these people said clearly.

Luo Erniang's development speed in recent years really exceeded his expectations.

"who" "咴咴咴" "They are Turks" While resting, several black figures suddenly appeared on the hills in front of them, which looked particularly conspicuous in the white sky and earth.

Several members of the Zhao family quickly got on their horses, drew their sabers and weapons, and stood not far or near from Luo Yong and the others.

The rest of the people without horses stood around Luo Yong with weapons in hand.

They did not show any panic or fear.

Since they accepted the family's order and came to escort Luo Sanlang, they were mentally prepared for such a situation. .

"Who is coming?"

a Zhao family member on horseback asked.

"It's nothing, don't panic."

A middle-aged man dressed as a Turk came over from the opposite side.

From his accent, he sounded like an authentic Han Chinese: "I heard that Lishi Luo Sanlang passed by here recently.

We are on the orders of the Turkic Khan. , I came here to greet you and invite Luo Sanlang to join my Turkic party."

"Since you know that I will pass through this place, you must also know that this time I am going to Changle County, Guazhou to take office.

I cannot miss the date of taking office."

Luo Yong said with cupped hands.

"The people of the Tang Dynasty are narrow-minded and exclude talented people.

Why don't Sanlang go to the Turks with me?

The Turkic Khans have always heard of Sanlang's reputation as a talented person and are thirsty for talents.

If Sanlang goes to the Turks, he will definitely be promoted to a noble position and take charge of a country." said.

Luo Yong heard this, but was not tempted at all.

If he remembered correctly, by the time of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, the Turks had been completely integrated into the Tang Dynasty, and they had even been promoted to higher positions.

"You must have some misunderstandings.

The reason why I was demoted this time was because of my business.

The state-owned legal family has family rules.

I have no dissatisfaction in my heart, and I will not go to the Turks."

There is always a shortage of spies between countries.

Faced with the situation at hand, Luo Yong believes that it is better to make his position clear, so as not to spread some rumors from there to Chang'an and arouse suspicion again.

The other party tried to persuade him a few more times, but Luo Yong still declined and refused to agree.

The atmosphere between the two sides was a bit tense.

If a fight broke out, there would inevitably be casualties.

Luo Yong, a person from the 21st century, found it difficult to accept such a thing.

"I, Luo San, have nothing wrong with you Turks?"

He kept saying it, but the other party refused to give way.

He said he was asking for help, but his attitude was very tough.

Gradually, Luo Yong also lost patience.

After walking so hard, I couldn't help but feel a little resentful in my heart.

"Why did Sanlang say this?"

the other party said with cupped hands.

"You knew I was going to Guazhou to take up my post, so why did you block my way?"

Luo Yong asked him.

Every one of them is like this.

He was squeezed out and plotted by those grandsons in Chang'an City, which made him have to travel outside in the cold winter, and now even these bastard Turks won't let him go.

He went to the Turks only after being kicked in the head by a donkey.

Wherever there are people there are struggles, and everything is different.

Hearing that the development of the cashmere industry and the popularization of soap making methods have benefited the Turks, Luo Yong does not expect these people to be grateful, but at the moment, what is going on?

"Sanlang's words are serious."

The man cupped his hands and said: "The Turkic Khan asked us to invite you kindly.

If Sanlang doesn't want to go to the Turks at the moment, there is no reason to force it."

"In that case, ask your people to give way."

Luo Yong said in a deep voice.

"Sanlang, don't worry."

The other party waved down the slope behind, and soon a group of soldiers brought several tables to the table, which were filled with all kinds of wine and food.

"It's freezing cold and the journey is long.

Please give me some food and wine before we go."

Luo Yong walked forward and was stopped by several Zhao family members.

He waved his hand and said it was nothing, then walked to the table in a few steps, took the wine cup presented by the other party's hands, and drank a cup of mare's milk wine.

Then he placed the copper wine cup heavily on the table.

If people like Dujiu really wanted to kill him, why would they go to such great lengths?

They just used some superficially polite but actually tough methods to get him to go to the Turks obediently.

"If you drink wine, you won't need the food."

Luo Yong said: "After all, this is still in the realm of the Tang Dynasty.

There is no reason for you Turks to be the hosts.

This pot of turbid wine is given to your Khan to thank him for his kindness."

The other party obviously did not expect Luo Yong to be so stubborn.

Judging from the current situation, if they did not use force, they would never invite Luo Yong to the Turks.

If force was used, it would be contrary to the mission assigned to them by the Khan.

It seems that this time The task is destined to be impossible to complete.

The man took the water bag handed over by Luo Yong, bowed his hand to him solemnly, and then waved to the person behind him.

He heard a whistle, and soon, a group of horses ran out from behind a bush not far away. , Horse hooves kicked, and the neighing sound was endless.

The Turks jumped on their horses one by one, and soon ran away without a trace.

"Let's go."

Luo Yong stood in the wind and snow and said to the people behind him.

"Sanlang," those Zhao family members have become more knowledgeable this time.

Who would have thought that the weak chickens who were lying on the ground panting just now could show such courage and courage when facing the Turks.

"It's okay, they don't dare to take action."

Luo Yong looked at the direction in which the Turks left and said.

After encountering such an unexpected incident, everyone did not dare to delay any longer.

They took stock of the team and set off soon.

"Why do you think they dare not take action?"

After they had walked a long distance, Qiao Junlin, who had been silent, finally asked Luo Yongdao.

"I can't confirm it."

Luo Yong sat on the camel and said swaying: "It's just that looking at their behavior just now, it seems they don't dare to take action."

Luo Yong's past two years have not been in vain.

He finally has some reputation among the people.

If he is killed by the Turks at this time, there will be no waves at all.

In the past two years, the emperor has been distributing military boots and providing military rations, which has raised the morale of the army.

If we go with the flow and use this excuse to attack them, those Turks may not be able to bear it.

Besides, it is not that these Turks do not pay attention to reputation, and they also attach great importance to recruiting talents.

They are not the image created in some later film and television works of drinking, smashing bowls, burning, killing and looting.

Killing or forcibly capturing Luo Yong would be detrimental to their reputation and not conducive to their control and management of various tribes on the grassland, because many grassland people were grateful to Luo Yong.

After roughly confirming the attitude of the Turks, Luo Yong felt a lot more relaxed.

In fact, what he is most worried about is the attitude of the local wealthy families in Changle County.

In the past, when Luo Yong was watching TV, he had seen the story of the seventh-grade Zhima Official county magistrate taking office, only to be suppressed by the local powerful. gd1806102:
