Chapter 714: All Misunderstandings in Compensation for Cessation(1/3)

Regardless of his illness and the long journey, Zhuxia rushed to the road as fast as possible. After coming from the boat to the shore, he spent fifty knots of money to get two mountain horses from a farmer in a village.

If you go to the horse market, two mountain horses used to carry goods and farm when you are busy do not cost fifty cents of money, but farmers do not want to sell them. The obedient meaning is to raise two horses as their own children.

Takeshita had no choice but to borrow 50 guan as a deposit, borrowing two horses for one. After he came back, he left ten guan to buy fodder for the farmers' "children". The farmer thought that fifty guan could buy four horses, and thought that the other party could return the horse, so he borrowed it.

Takeshita didn't plan to send the horse back at all. Compared with the stability of the country, what is the price of dozens of coins?

Riding on the horse and chasing it constantly, fortunately, the road is no longer as difficult as before. Even when you reach the hillside, there is still a repaired road in front of you and extends to the distance.

At the same time, there is no need to worry about being attacked by wild animals. Any wild beasts within ten miles of the road have been cleared by the team ahead. Not to mention tigers and wolves, even a pheasant was not left behind, and they were beaten and eaten by meat.

So, Takeshita chased after seven days in a row and finally saw the tail of the team in front. When he saw the tail of the team, he was also discovered and stopped.

The people in the team who stopped him didn't realize that he was a human being. He stayed in the Tang Dynasty for many years. His dress and expression were almost no different from those of the Tang Dynasty. Even if he was slightly more special, he could not confirm it immediately.

Even in the Tang Dynasty, people from all over the world were not the same.

The person who stopped him thought he was from a village when he was passing by, so he rushed over and had something to do. Seeing his dusty appearance, he wanted to help him and let him rest first and say something slowly.

As a result, when he heard him say that he was a human being, the person who stopped him changed instantly, from being caring and gentle, to being indifferent and hostile, with an unkind god in his eyes.

Seeing the other person's face, Takeshita became more and more nervous, and knew that many places in the Tang Dynasty are beginning to alienate people from their country.

Through the information obtained in Xunyang, many people who came to the Tang Dynasty did not dare to reveal their identities at will. Once someone knew that they were human, although there was no attack on them, there was a similar crisis.

That means there is no place to eat. For example, there are two people living in Chuzhou who used to live there. The neighbors usually know that they are human beings and they can get along well.

As a result, after such a thing happened, the neighbors began to alienate and didn't talk to them at all. And they didn't know which one leaked their identities.

The two of them were hungry on the street and thought of eating something from a small shop. As soon as they entered, they were kicked out and wanted to drink a bowl of tea, but the people who set up stalls did not sell it.

One passes through the other, and within a large area around, everyone knows that the two of them are human beings. Whenever they want to buy things, others don’t sell them, and when they want to find a job, others don’t charge them. Even if they want to collect more travel expenses and pawn the things they have on, the pawn shop owner will not charge them.

After discovering this situation, the two had to cook the remaining food in their homes and take it with them to leave this sad place, wanting to change the place and live with a concealed identity, otherwise they would starve to death.

So it is normal for me to be treated coldly by others now.

So Takeshita had to explain that he was the person in charge who came here and wanted to explain the story to the emperor. At the same time, he concealed the Emperor of Hiraki Kyo for some people and condemned the matter that had damaged the Tang Dynasty and its relationship.

"Brothers, let me see His Majesty the Emperor. We really don't know the situation. We discovered it later. We absolutely do not support Yamamoto and others in our country. If we know, we will definitely stop it in advance and give me a chance."

Takeshita begged to the person who stopped him.

The person who stops him will not believe what he says. You don’t know what you use to transport the things you use to destroy them? Nowadays, most of the things in China rely on the Tang Dynasty. It will be unclear how much money you sell for each thing you transported and how much you exchange for?

"In a word, how can Your Majesty be seen by you just by saying that you can see him? If you don't see him, I would like to advise you to find an opportunity to return home quickly and not stay in the Tang Dynasty. Soon... Soon we people are angry, which may harm you."

The person who stopped him did not give him a chance to see the emperor, and even threatened him.

Takeshita was anxious. What he thought was that if he couldn't meet this time and could not explain the matter clearly, he would never have a chance in the future. Maybe when he was waiting for his return to China, the Tang Dynasty's soldiers had already landed.

That's a gunboat. When the cannon fires, who can hold on the shore? It's all the blame for those people, who insist on provoking it. What's going on now? The Tang Dynasty was angry and did not tolerate it at all. What did it mean to test the bottom line of the Tang Dynasty. Now I see it. The bottom line of the Tang Dynasty is to provoke me, so I will send troops immediately.

Takeshita did not dare to give up his last chance, and begged again: "Brothers, I..."

"Who are you brothers? We are not familiar with you, so leave quickly, otherwise you will be arrested on the grounds that you are trying to assassinate." The other party did not give any chance at all.

"The sinner knows that he cannot meet the emperor directly. Can he meet other people who are in charge of the outside world? Take it, help me and save my life."

Takeshita continued to beg, took out a handful of paper money from his arms, and forced him to stuff it into the other party's hand.

The person who stopped him quickly shrank his hand: "Take it away, I don't dare to collect your money. I have the life to spend it. Wait, I'll report it to you to see if anyone is willing to come and see you."

As he spoke, the man gave a look at the others around him, letting them watch the person who came over, and turned around and left to send a report.

They were the ones who stayed to finish the tail, and they were still far from the team ahead, and they had to travel at least two days to catch up.

When the telegram reached Li Longji, Li Longji was eating the cold chicken shredded chicken made by Zhang Xiaobao. In recent days, they have been eating vegetarian dishes. It was hot and the mountain roads were wet again.

So they couldn't eat meat and fish, and even Xiaobei and his group of children didn't want to eat eggs when they were having dinner in the morning. They just drank some soy milk and ate two buns with pickles. Their appetite was significantly reduced. If they were hungry, they would use fruit to stuff their stomachs.

They couldn't eat anything else at all, only Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao didn't care. They should eat or eat, and they seemed to have a very strong adaptability to the environment.

At noon yesterday, Zhang Xiaobao discovered that his younger brother and sister, Li Longji and others always looked distressed, knowing that his body was lacking in nutrition.

At noon today, I made a few meat dishes, including cold chicken shredded chicken, sauce beef, and the most important mutton soup. With sweet garlic, I forced my younger brothers and sisters to eat it.

Especially the mutton soup, which is made of mutton bones, and there is no mutton oil in it. All the dry goods are cut into the water of the mutton. Add more vinegar and pepper noodles. Tell my younger brothers and sisters that after drinking it, you will feel cooler after sweating.

Xiaobei and others gritted their teeth and tried it, but after drinking the hot soup, they found that it was indeed more comfortable than the fried meat that they ate directly and was not greasy. They made some chili noodles into it, which was sour, numb and spicy, similar to spicy, and it was indeed good.

Li Longji also drank good food. The staple food was pasta. Zhang Xiaobao fried cakes with corn flour. It was a very small cake with a diameter of about two centimeters, one bite at a time, which was convenient to eat, and it visually gave people a feeling that they could eat a lot.

If it is replaced with big steamed buns and big cakes, people will feel that they can't eat it when they see it.

Zhang Xiaobao added another soup. When Li Longji poured vinegar into the soup with sweat, he praised Zhang Xiaobao: "Thanks to Xiaobao follow me, otherwise I would probably starve to death on the road. So, a military governor who cannot make food that people like under any conditions is definitely not a good top scorer, isn't he Xiaobei?"

After Li Longji praised him, he asked Xiao Bei, who also bowed his head and drank hard.

Xiao Bei doesn't like eating the sheep in the bowl. She thinks that when drinking the soup, it's sour and spicy, it's so spicy, so she eats a small cake. The corn flour cake tastes good, and there is a hint of bee mi in it. The rich corn fragrance also has a hint of bee mi's unique sweetness.

She also liked the thick and delicate texture.

This was made by Zhang Xiaobao with fine grinding, otherwise ordinary corn flour would not be so fine, and it took a lot of time to turn it with a small grinding of sesame oil, and others would not feel at ease.

"Yes, yes, it's delicious. I'll eat this tomorrow at noon. OK, brother?" Xiaobei's face was sour by vinegar, and his face was wrinkled together, but he still drank it hard. He raised his head and asked his brother who was gnawing on the meat on the sheep bones.

"I will get tired of it tomorrow again. I will make you spicy hot pot tomorrow, a small skewer after a small skewer. Don't worry about eating too much. Just eat a few skewers. Tomorrow morning, I want to make chicken soup for you, so it tastes better when you rinse it."

Zhang Xiaobao said to his sister that he didn't care, even the meat on the bones that looked oily and sucked.

He decided to use poison to fight poison to improve everyone's diet. When the weather is stuffy, then eat spicy food and feel comfortable after sweating.

As for what the other people in the team usually eat and what they still eat now, they can’t enjoy this treatment at all, and they bring few things.

It was really uncomfortable, so let the chefs who followed the team cooked them watery rice or sorghum rice, and fried noodles made with noodles with watery twice, so there was no way to take too much care.

While everyone was eating and chatting, the telegram came over. The visitor said to Zhang Xiaobao: "Young Master, someone is chasing me from behind. He said that his name is Takeshita. He wanted to see Your Majesty but could not, so he retreated to the next best. He wanted to meet the officials in charge of foreign affairs and said that there were important matters to discuss."

"Takeshita? A very familiar name, haha, don't care about him for now, eat, look at his mood after eating, meet him when he is in a good mood, and let him continue to follow him in the back, I'm not in a hurry."

When Zhang Xiaobao heard Takeshita's name, he remembered who the other party was. He had dealt with him twice and got some money from the other party. Unexpectedly, the other party could still do things on behalf of part of the interests and was not called back to behead him.

Depending on the situation, no one is available, so even if someone makes a mistake, he still insists on letting the person who makes the mistake continue to stay in the Tang Dynasty.

When Xiao Bei heard the news, he took two more sips of the soup and asked, "I'll go, I'll go see him, I'll be responsible for foreign affairs. I'll see how much money he brought over and compensate for some of the losses first. I'll eat it, and go now."

"Where are you flying for the next two days? Shuiyun can catch you, aren't you afraid of falling down?" Wang Juan said to Xiaobei.

Xiao Bei picked up the spoon again with regret: "Oh, the two days are so far away, let him come. I want to have spicy hot pot tomorrow at noon. If I don't go, wait for him to come, will I see him?"

"Okay, go, Xiaobei." Li Longji agreed first.

A day and a half passed, Takeshita finally arrived at the place. He heard that he could see the officials, so he rushed forward. If it weren't for the people in the team who occupied the road, he would probably not have been able to run to the place in one day.

When he arrived, Xiao Bei was eating egg custard. A bowl of three eggs was steamed, with braised tops and oyster sauce mixed with it, which tasted fresh and salty.

When he heard someone coming to report the arrival of Takeshita, Xiao Bei thought about it and asked someone to call Takeshita over.

"You know who I am?" Xiaobei asked directly when he saw Takeshita.

Takeshita was stunned for a moment. When he came, he didn't know which official he was going to meet. He was thinking about who could travel with Li Longji in the Tang Dynasty and what hobbies he had.

At this moment, seeing a girl sitting next to the folding table in front of her, she nodded immediately and said, "You are the Tang Dynasty inspector, I know."

"I'm very smart, don't you feel very honored? I can be received by me in person?" Xiao Bei scooped a piece of egg lamb with a spoon, whispered twice, ate it into his mouth, and asked in a blurry voice.

Takeshita had already smelled the fragrance, swallowed his saliva secretly, nodded and said, "Yes, honor, I have never been so honored today. My purpose is..."

"No hurry, I'm having a meal, and you don't come and find a good time. I have a habit of not talking about serious matters during meals. You haven't had breakfast yet, right?"

Xiaobei picked up a bun, meat bun, and very, very small meat buns, which happened to be able to bite by bite. Zhang Xiaobao knew that after he became bigger, he looked like he was in vain, so he had to spend time making small ones. Although the buns were smaller than ordinary sheep-eyed buns, there were many folds on the buns, and they could also make thin skin and large fillings.

The noodles are also well-kept, with a smooth and crystal clear color. They are placed on a plate like handicrafts. Ordinary people are reluctant to eat such buns.

Takeshita saw the buns and smelled the fragrance. He swallowed a few more saliva and said, "Eat, I've eaten it, I ate it on the way I came."

He was actually lying. He just ate something at noon yesterday. Until now, he has not entered the water and has not even had a rest during the journey.

He wanted to have a good sleep, but he knew that the Tang army would not wait for him to wake up before moving forward.

Xiao Bei seemed very sorry, and ate another bun and said, "Did you eat it? I thought you didn't eat it and sold you a breakfast, but unfortunately, I can't make any money."

"I'm eating, but I'm not full. Now I'm hungry, so why not sell me one." Takeshita was very quick and knew that it was a chance to give money. Don't say that he was really hungry, even if he was full, he had to continue stuffing it into his stomach.

"Okay, I'll give you five buns, my brother made them myself. How much do you think they are worth? Take a closer look at the buns. You have never seen this craft before, right? Think about the price."

Xiao Bei looked very reluctant, took a pair of chopsticks and a small plate again, carefully picked out five buns from the plate in front of him, pushed them to the other side of the table, and signaled others to deliver them to Takeshita.

Takeshita took it in his hand, held it, looked at the buns carefully, and admitted in his heart that it was really well made. If he could eat it normally, he would be in a good mood, but he didn't have the intention to taste it at this moment.

After thinking about it, Takeshita asked Xiaobei, "Priceless, I think it shouldn't be bought with money. How much do you think it's worth?"

He spoke very respectfully and did not treat the girl in front of him as a child at all. There were too many deeds about Beckham, so many that he could be called to him by others.

"Let me tell you the price? OK, you can buy it for one penny?" Xiao Bei gave a price.

"Ah? One penny? One penny can't do it." Takeshita shook his head repeatedly. If he really had one penny, how could he bribe himself? Needless to mention the craftsmanship of making buns, it was just ordinary buns. It was said that they were made by Zhang Xiaobao for his sister, so the value was already something that others could afford to buy.

Xiao Bei stopped eating and asked, "No one can do it, how many can it do it? Ten thousand can it do it?"

"If you can't write, it should be Guan." Takeshita said gritting his teeth. He had already thought about giving more.

"Ten thousand guan per person? OK, give out 50,000 guan." Xiaobei agreed generously.
