Chapter Ninety-Four: Another Iron-Striker There is only one piece of iron, but there is more than one blacksmith who wants to strike it.
Just when the Song and Han people in Qingxiang City were habitually flying kites all over the sky on March 3, a black-faced Tsing Yi man with a wooden ruyi in his hand and scratching his back while walking walked into Qingxiang City.
His bag was simple, a mule, two chests, an old servant, and two strong dart masters.
Because all of them were Song people, they didn't receive difficulties from the city guards when they entered the city, but enthusiastically pointed out the road to him.
Seeing a familiar looking tea disguise, the black-faced man in Tsing Yi smiled, took the lead in entering the teahouse, skillfully knocked on the table with wood Ruyi, and a guy who was napping hurriedly got up to greet him.
"A pot of tea, two snacks, some delicious food for my companion, and water for the mule."
The guy agreed again and again, and went to handle these things in a hurry.
On weekdays, these tasks are done by the old servant, but unfortunately after coming to Hami, the old servant can't see so many strange people, as long as he meets a guy with red hair and green eyes like the teahouse guy, he will be bluffed speechless.
The old servant lowered his head and said uneasily: "Xianggong, let's find Huo Gongan first and calm down." ” The black-faced man in Tsing Yi smiled dumbly and said: "You old goods, you look at people in Tokyo on weekdays with high eyebrows and low eyes, how come you get to Hami, even people don't dare to see it, I already knew that I would bring Hua Zilang over."
Although the people here look different from us, and although there is a cunning look in their eyes, they are harmless and worry about something. ” As he spoke, the red-haired man brought tea and snacks to the black-faced man in Tsing Yi before he went to greet the dart masters for food and water for the mules and horses.
Closing his eyes and taking a sip of tea, the black-faced man in Tsing Yi nodded with satisfaction, took a bite of the pea yellow snack, sighed softly, pointed to the remaining dim sum on the plate and said to the old servant: "Try it, it seems to be better than what is made at home." ” The old servant stood on the side, took a piece and tasted it, shook his head and said, "It's not as much lard as our house, it's sweet." ” The black-faced man in green lazily put his arm on the windowsill and looked at the bustling crowd outside, shaking his head and exclaiming; "It's even more prosperous than Jiangning."
The old servant said with regret: "When you arrive in Hami Country, you should tell Huo Gong and let him pick us up in Qingtang, this road is desolate, the old slave has nothing to do, if you have an accident, the old slave will die and will not be redeemed."
When crossing the Red Cliff Mountain, the soul of the old slave was scared away, and he wanted to find a sheltered cave, who knew that after entering, it would be all dead corpses......
Even if this place is more prosperous than our Jiangning, old slaves are not rare. ” The black-faced man in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "That's the situation after the war, what do you old man know, do you think there are few people who die in Jiangning?"
Speaking of the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, it was also changed once, that is, when the corpses filled the valley, it was too peaceful, and the bones on the edge of Jiangning City were turned into dirt.
Look at this fragrant city, the market is orderly, the four people are guarding their own ways, everyone has a smile on their faces, it seems that Huo Xian has governed this place well. ” The old servant said with a smile: "When Ouyang Gong returned to Beijing, when he talked about the situation in Hami, the world thought that Ouyang Gong's beautiful words were not enough to believe. ” The black-faced man in Tsing Yi laughed and said, "If you don't see it with your own eyes, the old man won't believe it!"
Who can believe that a country of a thousand times, a country of ten thousand horsemen, and a great country that controls the Western Regions of three thousand miles can be created in just five years?
” As the master and servant were talking, they heard a dense drum beat in the market, followed by three gongs, and as soon as the trombone sounded, a rough voice sounded: "The people of Qingxiang City, welcome my son's triumph!"
” The people in the teahouse left their seats one after another and came to the window, standing with their hands solemn, watching the black carriages passing through the market, and the market that was still full of people just now became silent in an instant.
Doing according to the local customs, although the black-faced Tsing Yi man and the old servant and others didn't understand what was going on outside, seeing that everyone in the teahouse had become solemn, they had no choice but to follow suit and stand solemnly in front of the window.
It wasn't until the long convoy disappeared that the motionless crowd began to move slowly again, and after half a pillar of incense, the street market resumed its usual hustle and bustle.
When the guy refilled, the black-faced man in Tsing Yi asked the guy carefully.
The guy who was still smiling just now immediately put on a sad face and said in jerky Chinese: "The damn big cannibal wanted to come to our Qingxiang City to plunder, and was beaten away by our warriors, but our warriors also suffered heavy casualties, and those black carriages just now were full of the ashes of the fallen soldiers.
The king of my family is going to invite the heroic spirits of the soldiers to stay in the square for nine days, enjoy the blood food, and finally return to Qilipo. ” Hearing that it was a martyr who died in battle just now, the incomprehension on the face of the black-faced man in green clothes suddenly subsided, and he solemnly bowed his hand in the direction of the carriage departure to apologize before sitting down again.
"Xianggong, if the carriage is filled with the ashes of the fallen soldiers, the old slave counted it just now, and there are as many as one hundred and seventy carts."
The black-faced Tsing Yi man shook his head and said: "According to the military report of Miaochuan City, there should be more than that, the first battle of Loulan had a far-reaching impact, and the two sides of the 200,000 soldiers used up all kinds of tricks, and the killing methods were even more incisive.
This is the only battle that can be compared to the Battle of Qingtang in all these years.
Tsk, one side is strong, one side is ice, one side is deep, and one side is stubborn and stubborn, which can be called a real opponent.
It's a pity that we came late and didn't witness this big battle, otherwise we would have gained a lot. ” After witnessing the hearse, the black-faced man in Tsing Yi seemed to have lost the idea of wandering around the market, dropped two silver coins, and left in a hurry.
Leaving the market, he saw the heavily guarded waterfall square from a distance, and the black-faced man in green clothes sighed at the pile of black clay pots, and then bypassed the square and went straight to Xiangguofu.
Huo Xian, who received the greeting post, hurriedly glanced at it, and Huo Ran got up, he didn't even have time to change his shoes, and trotted all the way to Xiangguo's mansion in soft shoes without heels.
"Jiefu, Jiefu, Jiefu......
You're finally here!
” The black-faced Tsing Yi man was also excited, hurriedly stepped forward, and said in a loud voice: "In order to prove the new law, Huo Gong did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles, how fortunate is An Shi, with such a close friend, An can not come to Hami?"
” The four hands were clasped tightly together, Wang Anshi raised his head with tears in his eyes, looked at Huo Xian's gray hair and said sadly: "I'm sorry for my brother." ” Huo Xian held Wang Anshi's hands tightly and shook them again and again, he was already in tears, and choked up: "You come to Hami, the road can be done!"
” Wang Anshi held Huo Xian's arm and looked up to the sky and laughed: "The old man came to Hami, he should come to strike iron, and let me wait to see if I can make a piece of stubborn iron into a hundred refined steel." ” Huo Xian burst into tears and said with a smile: "Jiefu doesn't need to build the Hami Kingdom, it is enough to have an old man, Jiefu only needs to make the King of Hami into steel, and the Hami Kingdom into an iron plate." ” Wang Anshi said with a smile: "In this way, with Huo Gong's ability, he can't make the iron toad that was famous in Beijing in the past become soft with his fingers?"
” "This toad is not only full of iron, it can't be broken, it can't be smashed, it also has a fox's seven-trick exquisite heart, and it has the greasy and slippery nature of a python, and its skin is thick and black, it is a freak that has not been encountered for thousands of years, Huo Xian wanted to hold it in his hand several times, but he didn't know where to start, so he had to let it go, fortunately, Jiefu came, and he should solve the old man's worries."
"Huo Gong can rest assured, a certain family has come from thousands of miles to see this iron toad who can build a big country with his bare hands, and see what a wonderful person this person is.
Let's also weigh what is so strange about the freaks bred by my century-old Wenhua in the Great Song Dynasty!
So much so that the real reason why Bao Zheng, Xia Wei and others would rather banish him to the desert than dare to stay in the country ......"
As soon as Wang Anshi came, the civil officials in Qingxiang City ran to Xiangguo's Mansion one by one like frightened donkeys.
At the same time, countless carrier pigeons rose from the Xiangguo Mansion, hovering in mid-air for several weeks before throwing themselves into the west and east.
In the wolf's den, Tie Xinyuan and Wei Chiwen looked at each other.
After a long while, Tie Xinyuan opened his mouth and asked, "You mean that Wang Anshi is here, and he said that he wants to deal with it, and he will teach the iron toad who is famous in Jinghua?"
” Wei Chiwen nodded again and again: "He entered the city an hour ago, took a break in the Longhua Teahouse, witnessed the hearse entering the city, and then went directly to Xiangguo's Mansion to visit Xiangguo."

The words just now were what the two of them said excitedly when Xiangguo came out to welcome Wang Anshi.
King, this person has bad intentions, otherwise we will quietly dispose of him, and the lower officials are sure that everyone will not see the clues. ” Tie Xinyuan, who was contemplating, couldn't help but snort when he heard Wei Chiwen's words: "Forget it, if this person dies in Hami, we don't think there will be a scholar to use in the future."
Not only can we not harm him, but we must also support him as an ancestor, even if people scold us, we must maintain a heart that spits on our faces. ” Yu Chiwen jumped up and said, "Why?
” Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know why, but my intuition tells me that it's best to do this, to be honest, I don't have a good impression of this person."
By the way, this man is full of lice, you have to find a way to get him to take a good bath in the hot spring before seeing me, and kill the lice on his body, or I won't even dare to touch his hand. ” Yu Chiwen thought for a moment and said with a strange smile: "You said that if I let the iron rod and the iron pillar tempt him, what do you think?"
Just like when I dealt with a group of Indra's brothers, as long as he tasted the sweetness, he would be happy and use it for me from now on. ” Tie Xinyuan snorted and laughed, and knocked heavily on the door of Yu Chiwen's head and said, "Senior Brother Indra, these laymen with weak minds are not even as good as a ball of shit in front of this person.
Compared with Indra, Wang Anshi is the real Great Luo Vajra with an incorruptible body!
