Three hundred and thirtieth eight chapters muddle through
When the little beggar heard that the caravan was going to Yuezhi, he was a little emotionally lost: "I won't go to Yuezhi Kingdom, I want to go back to Kankan City. Can you tell me where Kankan City is here and how long can I get there?"
Moro looked at Liu Yu curiously, then looked at the little beggar. He probably felt that the brother and sister acted uniquely, and sighed: "Kankan City? Isn't it the capital of Kucha? It has been captured by the Flower Devils. The king has three or seven concubines, many sons and daughters, but I don't know if they died or became slaves of the Flower Devils. According to me, the Flower Devils will definitely massacre Kankan City! You better not go."
Massacre of the city?
Liu Yuxin said, no wonder Moro ran faster than rabbits. It turned out that the Khwarezmians acted so ruthlessly and used the method of massacre to conquer cities. Isn’t that the Mongolian cavalry that later became more important than Jason’s nervous appearance? It was obvious that he was forced to be trapped by Moro for his traveling capital because he also knew the Khwarezmians’ style of conduct.
"Mr. Jason, why did the Kharatites massacre the city?" Liu Yu asked Jason while Moro ran to instruct the caravan.
"This is very complicated. The Khtar people did not believe in God. They said that there was a God in heaven, their God. They said that it was their God. My God, they must be crazy. The people of Kucha did not believe in God in heaven, and they did not believe in two Gods. Oh, so they fought!"
Jason didn't speak well in Chinese, didn't know many words, and didn't explain clearly. Liu Yu guessed that it should be a war of faith.
The more we go west, the more people believe in Islam, and the people in the Western Regions generally believe in Buddhism. The difference in faith is considered an irreconcilable contradiction in this era. It is very unpleasant to have the gods they worshipped by others to question them. So the war began.
After hearing Jason's words, Liu Yu just nodded, while the little beggar seemed a little excited. He pulled his legs apart and wanted to run away. Maybe she didn't even know where the location of Kankan City was.
Liu Yu grabbed her and said, "What are you going to do? Those flower devils will massacre the city!"
"I'm going to find my relatives. I'm going to find my grandfather. We are the closest people in my world! You Central Plains thief, don't pull me!"
Liu Yu felt that it was not good to let a girl who was out of control go to die, so he developed his style and directly held the little beggar's waist with both hands. The two of them were fighting each other. Moro came over and asked curiously: "Oh, young people in the Central Plains, what are you doing?"
"Our original destination was Kankan City, but now it seems we can't go, Brother Moro. Have you thought of a way to enter Yuezhi Kingdom?" Liu Yu was slapped by a little beggar, and his face was burning and painful, while the little beggar squatted on the ground, crying, and his emotions were out of control.
"There's no way!" Moro spread his hands and said anxiously, "What should I do? The Flower Devils will come at any time."
Liu Yu smiled and said, "Brother Moro, Mr. Jason, I have a way to enter the Yuezhi Kingdom."
Moro said in surprise: "You have a way? It's great, hurry up and say, I will give you a high reward!"
"I don't want your reward, but I want you to give me a caravan and take me back to the Central Plains!"
Moro said unhappyly: "Young man, in the words of you Central Plains people, you are... not toasting and eating and punishing wine. I think your conditions are too harsh. I will not agree. The caravan is my life. I will never leave it to you to take risks. From here to Central Plains, there are wars everywhere, and if I go to my caravan, I will disappear."
Liu Yu did not expect Moro to feel sorry for his caravan at this time, so he changed his words and said, "How about four hundred sheepskins?"
Moro said without thinking: "Trade!"
Seeing that Liu Yu had already negotiated with Moro, Jason came over and said, "I'll give you two hundred gold coins."
Liu Yu and Moro looked at Jason curiously, as if they were asking, "Do you still have two hundred gold coins?" Finally, Liu Yu sighed and said, "I'll give me my telescope." At this moment of life, Jason would not be stingy with a telescope, so he had to agree.
Liu Yu dragged the little beggar in front, and Morojan and the caravan members followed behind. He looked at Liu Yu approaching the border of Yuezhi Kingdom. Before he could reach the gate, Liu Yu was stopped by a large group of soldiers. One of the soldiers who led the lead spoke a lot of bird sings. Liu Yu turned to look at the little beggar and asked, "What do you mean?"
The little beggar left his head and continued to cry. Moro walked over and said, "He said that the Yuezhi Kingdom does not welcome caravans from other countries and does not allow us to enter."
Liu Yu asked curiously: "Brother Moro hasn't been to Yuezhi to do business before?"
Moro said helplessly: "The Yuezhi country is very chaotic, and there are so many people like Sanwuqi, and they rarely contact people outside. People in their country do not need money to buy things, but use shells. Such things cannot be spent as money. When the caravan enters their country, they will be considered as bewitching, and if they are caught, they will be beheaded."
After hearing this, Liu Yu felt that Yuezhi was an extraordinary country. I wonder if it was the same country as Yuezhi in the Western Han Dynasty.
Moro added: "The Yuezhi Kingdom is very unfriendly to the outside world. They only have one good friend country, namely Loulan. Unfortunately, we are not Loulan people!"
In Kucha, Yuezhi, Loulan, and Khwarezm who is invading Kucha, Liu Yuxin said that he has really come to a good place, and they are all famous countries in the Western Regions. By the way, they are countries of the same era?
"Brother Namoro helps me translate." Liu Yu walked forward and raised his head to the soldier leader and said, "Go in and tell your king that I am an envoy sent by Dashun Dynasty. I, Su Wu, are going to enter the city now, you must let it go!"
Moro looked at Liu Yu and said in surprise: "Young man, aren't your name Han Sheng?"
"Translation for me, don't worry about that." Liu Yu said to Moro.
Moro probably felt that Liu Yu was talking nonsense, and his tone was not as arrogant as Liu Yu. However, after he finished speaking, the soldier obviously did not dare to neglect and hurriedly left a sentence to go into the city. Moro smiled faintly and said, "He said he was going to ask the city lord, we have hope."
Taking advantage of the time of waiting, Liu Yu also wanted to make himself more similar. When Su Wu was grazing sheep on the grassland, he still had a certificate of pass and a scepter on his body. Of course, this may be rumored, but he gave Liu Yu a reminder, how can he be made if the envoy has no tokens? At least he had to make a dragon-headed stick or something like a fool. It looked like a carving in the carriage was very good, and the wood was carved very finely, lifelike like a tiger.
"Without a dragon-headed stick, the tiger-headed stick is also done!"
Liu Yu also took out the knife and began to chop the hand on his own.
"Young man, what are you doing? Don't destroy my things!" Moro hurried over and said with a distressed heart.
miser!
Liu Yuxin cursed inwardly and explained his intentions to Moro and Jason. When Moro knew that Liu Yu was looking for a token to make the Yuezhi people believe, he reluctantly said: "If you want to cut, just chop one is enough. Leave the one over there for me!"
The handrail of the tiger's head is symmetrical left and right.
"How can this be done? If someone sees it, wouldn't it be revealed? That can't be kept!"
Taking away the miserly thing Moro is like killing him. Moro reluctantly looked at the tiger-headed handrail that was taken away by Liu Yu and destroyed the other. He felt very distressed. When Liu Yu saw his expression of a dead father, he thought it would be strange if you could cash out those four hundred sheepskins.
With the handrail, you still need a document to pass the level. This is not difficult. There are four treasures of the Central Plains study in Moro. Liu Yu picked up his pen and wrote one according to the format of the document. Then he rubbed it twice in the mud to make the paper look very old. However, there was difficulty on the seal. In such a hurry, it was impossible to carve a seal related to the Shunchao government or the royal family.
"Use this!"
At this time, Jason's treasure chest played his role. It turned out that there were still some messy seals in Jason's box. Liu Yu couldn't understand the ancient characters, so he found a larger one and covered the paper with a large red seal. A homemade pass certificate was completed like this.
"Young man, you really have a way." Moro looked at Liu Yu, with a little doubt in his eyes, "Is this really possible?"
"Listen to me, you are only responsible for translators later. Don't talk too much, and don't be seen through." Liu Yu could not prepare much in a hurry, and it would be fine. As far as he knew, at least in the past few decades, the Shunchao court had not sent envoys to the Western Regions. These people should not understand the characteristics of envoys in the Central Plains, so it would not be difficult to fool them.
Liu Yu walked to the city gate with a tiger-headed stick wrapped in exquisite silk. Soon, a solemn middle-aged mustache came out from it and was escorted by a team of guards. He attached great importance to it, but what he saw was not the envoys wearing official uniforms of Dashunchao, but a group of business travelers. The middle-aged mustache's face became obviously cold.
The visitor was the city lord of Yuezhi Kingdom.
"Are you from the Central Plains?" asked the middle-aged bearded man in very stiff Chinese.
"That's right, I am the representative of the envoy of the Dashun Dynasty, and Su Wu is it!" Liu Yu said in a arrogant tone.
The middle-aged bearded man couldn't understand it, but unfortunately none of the people next to him understood Chinese. Fortunately, Moro understood the language of Yuezhi Kingdom, so he translated it for them. The city lord asked a question, and Moro translated it again: "He asked you why you were walking with us."
"Tell him that my envoy team was disturbed by Turkic cavalry on the road, and suffered heavy casualties. Only when I survived and thanks to the help of you business travelers, I came here. My purpose this time is to cooperate with the people of the Western Regions on the order of the Emperor of Dashun Dynasty to fight against the Turks together!"
After Moro brought the words over, the middle-aged bearded man put away his arrogance. After all, it is reasonable that Liu Yu said something very well. After all, Shunchao is indeed fighting against the Turks now, and the war has not yet been extinguished.
Liu Yu handed over the tiger-headed stick and the documentary. The middle-aged bearded looked confused and didn't know what these two things meant. With a cautious attitude, the beard had to let it go for the time being, but there was an explanation that along the way, the city lord must escort them into the capital of the Yuezhi Kingdom to prevent them from being Turkic or Khwarezm spies.
I don’t worry that they are spies from Shun Dynasty, because Shun Dynasty’s army has never come to the Western Regions.
