Chapter 753: Hopeless National Teacher

northwest.

On the grassland about seven or eight miles away from the border, there is an additional market.

This market has been around for several years, and it opens irregularly every month.

Initially, the bazaar was so small that it was not even qualified to be called a bazaar.

It's just a place where a few courageous businessmen barter with grassland herdsmen.

I don't know where it started, but more and more businessmen came here, and more and more grassland herdsmen. Thus a market was formed.

The Northwest Army also maintained a tacit attitude towards the market. Occasionally, people in military uniforms can be seen wandering in the market.

There are many people in the market!

Da Zhou people, herdsmen, people of other races, all kinds of identities gathered here, and there were thousands of people at the largest scale.

Dazhou merchants surrounded the herdsmen, bargaining and buying their cattle and sheep fur.

The herdsmen sold their cattle and sheep fur and wandered around the market with their horses.

They can always be seen in front of every stall.

They use unproficient Dazhou dialect to bargain with merchants.

Da Zhou merchants also used unproficient foreign languages ​​to bargain with them. Many times, the two sides are talking about each other, but this way can still make a deal.

When the herdsmen passed by the food shop, they swallowed a mouthful of saliva in unison.

Damn, it's so fragrant.

It's all meat, and what Dazhou people cook is delicious. And it's full of stuff.

I don't care about buying iron pots, buying salt and tea, it's important to sit down and fill up the gurgling Wu Zang Temple first.

"Boss, put more chili on two bowls of stewed pork noodles."

"Boss, a bowl of Hu spicy soup."

Great weeks of words in various accents ring out in the cookbook.

Ma Xiaoliu skillfully operated in front of the stove.

"Come on! For your two bowls of stewed pork noodles, add more spicy peppers. For your bowl of Hu spicy soup..."

Ma Xiaoliu, the waiter in Tangtang, transformed himself into a job as the owner of the restaurant and also the waiter of the shop, which is also decent.

A tall man came to the food shop and sat down on a stool. The stool creaked suddenly, pitifully, as if he was accusing the big man of his rude behavior.

The big man speaks the fairly proficient Da Zhou dialect, "Five catties of stewed beef, two catties of sorghum wine, two random fried meat dishes, and a bowl of noodle soup."

"Guest officer, I'm sorry, now that alcohol is banned, we don't have sorghum wine here, only sweet potato wine with a bad taste. If you want it, I'll make it cheaper for you."

The big man frowned, "Why is the prohibition on alcohol still in effect?"

"It turns out that the guest officer knows about the alcohol prohibition! Do you want sweet potato wine?"

"Let's have a couple of catties first."

"Okay! Two catties of sweet potato wine."

Ma Xiaoliu served the wine and returned to the stove to get busy.

Deng Cunli sat in the tent, listening to the movement outside.

Hearing two catties of sweet potato wine, he came out with the jug in hand.

"Is it the wine you want, guest officer? Please use the two catties of sweet potato wine slowly."

The big man hummed, took a sip of wine first, and frowned a little disgusted, "When will your prohibition on alcohol be revoked?"

"It seems that the guest officer is very familiar with Da Zhou's situation."

The big man grinned, "I don't talk about running once a year, can I not be familiar with it?"

"The guest officer's business is booming! I don't know where the guest officer comes from?"

The big man pointed to the west direction, "It takes more than a month to go to a far away place."

"That direction should not be far from Xiliang. Is there anything new on the way? Xiao Liu, bring two more appetizers for this guest officer."

"okay!"

When the appetizers came, the big man grinned, very satisfied.

Dazhou's stewed vegetables are a must.

Deng Cunli naturally drank and chatted with the big man to learn about the situation outside.

The caravan delayed the return journey, and the news from Xiliang was not received for a long time, so he was a little worried.

I can only focus on these aliens, maybe they have heard something.

"If you want to talk about something new, there is indeed one thing."

"Oh, what's new? Can you tell me about it?"

The big man bit into the fried peanuts, it was fragrant and crispy, just right for drinking.

"When I was leaving, I heard that there was an additional national teacher in the Xiliang Imperial City. The national teacher opened the altar to give a lecture, and the followers gathered. The scene is said to be very amazing."

Deng Cunli choked for breath.

He collected himself, "When did Xiliang gain a national teacher?"

"It won't be long."

"I don't know what the title of Xiliang Guoshi is called."

The big man dug into the memory in his mind, "It seems to be called, what is it called hopeless or something, I didn't pay attention to it. I know that there is an extra national teacher in Xiliang King City."

Deng Cunli was relieved when he heard Wuwang's name.

It's done!

Wuwang, a monk with six unclean senses, finally became the national teacher of Xiliang. They have lived up to their hard work over the years.

Deng Cunli was in a happy mood, and asked Ma Xiaoliu to give him two catties of sweet potato wine, and drank and chatted with the big man.

The two drank to their heart's content, the big man danced and danced, and was so excited that he almost overturned the small table.

Deng Cunli didn't leave until the big man was drunk.

He whispered to Ma Xiaoliu, "Send someone to notify Marquis Lu, the matter is over."

Ma Xiaoliu looked excited, "The hopeless bald donkey has become a national teacher, what should we do next?"

"Naturally, he used his status as the national teacher to influence the decision of the king of Xiliang." He even intervened in the succession of the Xiliang throne.

With the status of a national teacher, there are too many things that can be done.

That's why, everyone is bound to win the matter of the national teacher. They also specially sent Yang Ji and Chen Zhuangshi over.

Did not live up to Mrs.'s expectations.

...

When Lu Hou learned that the matter was over, he was so excited that he slammed his fist on the table.

He told his eldest son, Pei Meng, "You lead the army yourself and go to pick up those two scholars on the road. Mrs. Zhao has called their names, and no matter what, make sure that the two come back alive."

Pei Meng said: "These two scholars are quite capable. I didn't expect them to do it."

"If you don't have any skills, Mrs. Zhao will not send them to Xiliang. You hurry up and set off. The news from Xiliang has not been delivered for a long time. Benhou guessed that there was an accident on the way."

"Son obeys!"

After running out of the camp, he began to count soldiers.

Gu Ting took the initiative to invite Ying, and he also wanted to go on this mission.

Pei Meng frowned, obviously disapproving, "Xiao Man is about to give birth, how can you leave so easily at this time."

Gu Ting said loudly: "Little Man will be born in more than two months, and it must be in time. General, you can't exclude me from the mission just because I have a family. If you want to live in peace, your subordinates can stay in the capital , there is no need to come to the northwest to fight for your life. Since you are in the northwest, please treat me equally, the general."

Pei Meng frowned, obviously dissatisfied with Gu Ting.

Gu Ting's eyes were firm, and he strongly demanded that he should not be left behind on this mission.

Pei Meng snorted coldly, "Hurry up and get ready. Set off in two hours!"

"Yes!"

Gu Ting looked excited, turned and ran away.

...

In Jinzhou City, Pei Man inspected the goods with her big belly.

The blanket woven with wool, rich and noble peony pattern, plus exquisite dyeing, looks full of flowers, high-end and elegant.

"This kind of blanket is very popular whether it is sold to foreigners or sold to Jiangnan in the capital."

Pei Man said: "There are still too few patterns. We have used the pattern of rich and noble peonies for many years. People in the capital now pursue novelty. People in the south of the Yangtze River are no exception. If we want to come up with some new patterns, we can't always Wealthy peonies, fairies wishing birthdays and so on.

There are so many weaving workshops in Jinju City. We make blankets, and they also make blankets. We make rich and noble peonies, and they also make rich and noble peonies. Don't you have any pressure? If you can't rely on the backing of Universal Commercial Bank, everyone will not want to make progress. "

The workshop manager was a little ashamed. I promise, I will definitely think more about the fresh pattern.

The servant came to Pei Man's side, "Report to Young Madam, someone from the barracks."

Pei Man's heart skipped a beat, she told the steward not to slack off, and then left the workshop.

Seeing the people in the barracks, Pei Man opened her mouth and asked, "Is it because the general has a mission and can't come back?"

"My young lady's guess is right. The general is going on a temporary mission, and the return date is undecided. However, the general said that he will definitely come back before the child is born."

Pei Man frowned, "What task, it will take a month or two."

"I don't know the humble job."

Pei Man sighed, "Forget it, let's go down and receive the reward."

"Thank you young mistress!"

The servant asked Pei Man, "Young Mistress, do you want to ask Master Hou? Master Hou must know what mission the general has."

Pei Man shook her head, "Since he refuses to tell, it's obvious that this mission is classified, so how can he ask easily. Wait a minute. If he hasn't come back when the child is born, I will naturally ask."

...

At the same time, the great heroes Yang Ji and Chen Zhuangshi were eating sand in the desert.

The two retired and prepared to return to Dazhou.

Unexpectedly, they encountered horse thieves on the road, and a group of people hid in the depths of the grassland in order to escape, but they got lost.

They have been walking on the Gobi for more than half a month and have not gone out yet.

"If we can't get out of this ghost place again, we're afraid we'll die here." Yang Ji said calmly.

Chen Zhuangshi laughed, "Brother Yang, the experience of the two of you and me can be written in a special book, written as a legendary novel, and become the best-selling book. For this reason, it should be explained."

After finishing speaking, Chen Zhuangshi took a sip of water cautiously.

Yang Ji shook his head, "If we can't go out, everything is a daydream. Even if we go out, Mrs. Zhao will not allow us to write and publish the experience of this trip. Because the time has not yet come."

"Such a major event, to even cover it up, is really annoying. The two of us have made great achievements, and we deserve to be famous in history."

"There will be a day, but not now."

Chen Zhuangshi approached Yang Ji and asked in a low voice, "Do you think the First Prince has a chance to take that position?"

"Don't say it!" Yang Ji shook his head.

Chen Zhuangshi rolled his eyes, "Brother Yang is so afraid of the vast Gobi! I don't believe there are people eavesdropping here. Brother Yang should know that the two of you and I have come down this trip, which is equivalent to boarding Mrs. Zhao's pirate ship. If the eldest prince can't sit in that position, brother Yang, have you ever thought about what will happen to you and me? Will the ambition in your heart be realized one day?"

"Brother Chen, what do you want to say?"

Chen Zhuangshi stuck the knife in his hand into the sand, "If we can get out of trouble and return to the capital, Mrs. Zhao will definitely make arrangements for the two of us. Brother Yang, don't you have any ideas?"

"You talk about your ideas, my idea is to study for the imperial examination!" Yang Ji was always calm.

Chen Zhuangshi glared at him, "That's all?"

"Brother Chen has other plans?"

"I'm a scholar, so even if I have any plans, it's just empty talk. It's not as good as Brother Yang Jieyuan."

Yang Ji patted Chen Zhuangshi on the shoulder, "Brother Chen, you don't have to feel inferior."

puff!

Chen Zhuangshi almost choked to death.

"Brother Yang, which eye sees that I am inferior? If people like me in the world can be called inferior, it means that Brother Yang has raised the standard of inferiority by at least 80%. Brother Yang is not kind. !"

Yang Ji said solemnly: "You can't eat or drink kindness. Why should I be kind to Brother Chen?"

"Brother Yang, you've failed in your studies. You're very bad. You must be bewitched by the fiery Xiliang woman."

Yang Ji rolled his eyes to the sky, and every time he had a serious conversation with Chen Zhuangshi, he would turn to a woman in the end.

It makes people very speechless.

"Gentlemen, we are leaving."

The guards are urging.

Chen Zhuangshi looked at the sun above his head, "If you still can't go out within ten days, you will die of thirst or starvation."

Yang Ji patted Chen Zhuangshi on the shoulder, "We can definitely go out. We didn't go back on time, Lu Hou must have guessed that we must have had an accident. Maybe the person who rescued us is already on the way and looking for us everywhere. "

"I hope so! This place is too vast, and our group of people is as insignificant as ants. I don't know if we have this luck."

"Brother Chen, don't be discouraged."

"Brother Yang, you don't need to comfort me. I'm just expressing my emotions and recording my feelings at the moment. Prepare in advance for me to publish books and become famous in the future."

"Brother Chen really thinks long-term."
