Tang's dining table

A lot of charcoal is burned in Wannian County, but because of the types of trees, the charcoal is not good and light.

In addition, Wannian County has used a lot of coal in recent years, and people basically no longer use unburned charcoal.

In order to prevent the charcoal from falling into his hands, Yun Chu exchanged the charcoal with Changsun Chong for steel charcoal.

Steel charcoal is a good thing. It can make the sound of gold and iron when thrown on the ground. This thing is very resistant to burning. Better steel charcoal is even more resistant to burning than coal.

Naturally, Changsun Chong's family wanted a large amount of charcoal for iron smelting. Although steel charcoal was not suitable for adding when smelting iron, it was only because Changsun's family wanted the best materials for iron smelting that they obtained a lot of steel charcoal.

This was a big deal, and it was also an act of Yunchu taking advantage of the Changsun family.

The reason why the Changsun family made such a loss-making deal was entirely because Yunchu told Changsun Chong that Xu Jingzong wanted to harm their family.

Even though it was just a word, Changsun Chong was very grateful and did not hesitate to replace Yunchu's worthless charcoal with highly valuable steel charcoal.

Steel charcoal rarely smokes when burning, and it burns very well without any peculiar smell. The price sold to Lao Huang of the Gongmen Bureau was very good. It was Li Zhi's money anyway, so there was no need to save for him.

With this money coming in, the cotton seedlings Yunchu invested in the spring finally did not go down in vain, and some of them were recovered.

However, planting a large number of trees this winter and next spring is also very expensive, especially the weeping willows on both sides of the Bahe River, which need to be restored.

When Yunchu saw Yin Erhu on the way home, Yunchu knew that Bagman, the warrior from the Shi Kingdom, had arrived in Chang'an.

When Yunchu saw the tall man from the Western Region leaning against the Chang'an city wall, grabbing naan bread and munching on it, he felt like he was seeing a lion.

Because he is really wearing a lion's skin.

A dark bald head poked out of the lion's open mouth. In the hot weather, his whole body was covered by this lion skin, and his exposed hands and feet were also dark.

If it weren't for seeing his smoky gray eyes, Yun Chu would have thought that this guy was a Kunlun slave.

Seeing Yun Chu looking at him, he also stared at Yun Chu without fear. Seeing that Yun Chu didn't look away, he handed the remaining naan cake to Yun Chu.

"Is he the only one?" Yun Chu asked Yin Erhu.

Yin Erhu said: "When we met him in Liangzhou, he was the only one with no entourage. We also inquired and found out that his name was indeed Bagman. We also tested his skills and he was indeed worthy of what the Marquis said. Invincible in bravery.”

Yun Chu glanced around, then took the naan bread from Bagman and asked in Huihe: "Are you Bagman?"

Bagman, who was huddled under the city wall, jumped up, opened his arms to hug Yunchu, and said loudly: "My brother, they don't allow me to enter Chang'an City. I really want to see this paradise city. Can you take me in and have a look?"

Yun Chu smiled and avoided Bagman's embrace, looked into his smoky gray eyes and said, "Are you here for a decisive battle in Chang'an City?"

Bagman laughed and said: "Yes, yes, someone gave me a bag of gold coins and asked me to challenge a monkey."

Yun Chu turned his body slightly and continued: "Can you find the monkey?"

Bagman shook his head and said: "They said there is no need to look for it. The monkey will come to me when the time comes."

Yunchu smiled and put his hands on Bagman's shoulders. Bagman's shoulders suddenly sank, and his back collapsed. However, after reaching this step, the guy's thick thigh muscles were exposed. He was tense, his tanned feet stepped on the ground, and his body was unwilling to continue to fall. Yun Chu's hands on his shoulders turned into grasping, grabbing the lion skin, and with a loud shout, he was about to lift Bagman from the ground and swing him. After a circle, it hits the ground.

But there was a cracking sound, and Bagman's lion skin was scratched by Yun Chu, and it split from Bagman's body. Bagman's body was still standing firmly on the ground.

Yun Chu raised his right foot and kicked Bagman's calves, thighs, waist, and lower abdomen like lightning five times in a row in an attempt to neutralize his strength.

Bagman's left leg was shaking until he was kicked in the lower abdomen. He could no longer hold on and kneeled on the ground with his left knee. Yunchu landed on his right foot and rotated his left leg with his right leg as the axis. He swung it and struck Bagman's head like a giant axe.

Bagman avoided his head and hit his shoulder hard with this leg. Yunchu did not hear the sound of the shoulder blade breaking, but instead heard a thud. While his left leg was resting on Bagman's shoulder, he His right leg curled up, and his right knee slammed into Bagman's face fiercely.

Bagman's right arm stretched out in front of him, but he was too hasty and did not use any strength. Yun Chu's knee hit his arm, and his arm hit his tall nose backwards, waiting for Yun Chu's body to turn back. , when he landed again, Bagman's face was already covered with flowers, especially his nose. The first half of the bridge of his nose collapsed and he was bleeding profusely.

Yunchu picked up half a piece of naan bread that fell on the ground, dusted it off, handed it to Bagman, who was waiting for him, and said, "I injured you, so I must treat you to a sheep."

At this time, Bagman's lion skin had been torn into two halves by Yun Chu and fell to the ground. There was not a single thread on Bagman's body, so he stood under the Chang'an City with his masculine symbol upright.

Bagman faced the admiring gazes of the men of the Tang Dynasty and the intoxicated gazes of the women. He picked up the lion skin from the ground with his bare buttocks and handed it to Yun Chu: "You still have to pay for my lion skin."

Yun Chu smiled slightly, threw the dust-proof cloak on the maroon horseback to Bagman and said: "This is Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty, the most glorious city in the world. If you don't wear clothes, you will be treated as a savage."

Bagman spit out the blood in his mouth, wrapped himself in a cloak and pinched his nose with his hands. The nose that had been flattened by his arm returned to its original shape. He then picked up a huge sheepskin water bag from the ground and poured some water out of it. After washing the blood stains on his face, he said to Yun Chu, "Do you have any wine?"

Yunchu threw his jug to Bagman, and saw the guy pull out the stopper and drink Yunchu's jug of rice wine, which contained two kilograms.

After finishing the drink, he handed the wine bottle to Yun Chu and said, "It's too bland."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "There is strong wine, let's go, I will take you to visit the most magnificent city in the world."

Bagman picked up his huge animal skin package and followed Yun Chu into Chang'an City without any suspicion.

Standing on Zhuque Street, Bagman's big mouth never closed again. Faced with his expression, no one in Chang'an was surprised. A savage came to Chang'an. This was their basic expression.

Yin Erhu came over and said, "Master Hou, be careful of fraud."

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "Continue to find Bagman. This person is not our target."

For the rest of the day, Yun Chu and Bagman wandered around half of Chang'an City under the scorching sun.

He took Bagman to eat a whole roasted lamb, took him to drink the most powerful antiseptic in Chang'an City, took him to take the most comfortable bath in Bagman's life, and took him to a clothing store to buy He bought a hunting suit from the Tang Dynasty that was most suitable for him, and took him to disturb the most beautiful dancer in Chang'an City at noon to watch others dance. Finally, he came to Jinchangfang to thoroughly taste the food in the big cafeteria. .

By this time, the sky had darkened.

When passing by a stall selling candied haws, Yun Chu took two bunches of candied haws and handed them to Bagman.

Bagman bit into the candied haws without any doubt, and ate them with great pleasure.

Seeing that Yun's mansion was in front of him, Yun Chu looked back at Bagman and said, "There are some people I care about most living there, so you can't go in. You are a guest from afar, and I have already done my best." It's time to be a master, so now, you should go where you want to go."

Bagman looked at Yunchu doubtfully and said: "My friend, I only know you in this city, and you broke my nose and torn my skin. No matter what, you should take care of me." I will go to your home and receive hospitality like a distinguished guest."

A thin fishing net came down from above, almost invisible in the half-dark sky. The fishing net shone on Bagman, and he asked doubtfully: "What is this?"

Yun Chu said: "It is a fishing net woven from mulberry silk. This kind of thing has no other benefits except being tough. It is very good for catching people."

"Am I not your friend?" Bagman asked Yunchu, throwing away the baggage in his hand.

Yun Chu shook his head and said, "I really want to treat you as a friend, but you only think about how to kill me."

Bagman pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'm here to kill the monkey."

When Yun Chu saw that Zhang Jia and the bad guys had closed the net, he said calmly: "According to the rules of the Shi Kingdom, I treat you to meat, drink, give you good clothes, listen to music, and see beautiful women, so you should help me Do something to repay my kindness."

"I am not Bagman, my name is Bu Langzi!" (The name used by Uighur elders to their juniors, usually for men.)

Yun Chu looked at this lion-like man and said, "Whose prodigal son are you? Bagman's?"

Bu Langzi shook his head and said, "No."

Yun Chu walked around Bu Langzi and said: "Among the ten countries in the Western Region, the people of the Shi Kingdom are the best at deceiving people. People there often say that the people of the Shi Kingdom can deceive people when an eagle falls on the ground. So, I can't believe it." what you say."

"I am a prodigal, I never lie to others."

Yun Chu sighed and said: "From the time we met until now, you have lied to me at least three times, to the hotel owner once, to the diva in the restaurant once, to the dancer to sleep with you once, and to the owner of a clothing store once. Finally, He also secretly took away one of his clothes.

Therefore, you are a liar and a true Shiguo native. "

Bu Langzi grabbed the fishing net with both hands and prepared to tear it.

Just listen to Yun Chu say: "You will only cut your hand if you do this, and it will not do anything."

"I heard that you Tang people are the biggest liars in the world. You deceived our women, cattle and sheep in the Western Regions, and also deceived us to help you fight in wars. People in Shiguo don't lie. Let go of this thing and let's discuss it carefully. .”

Yunchu said to Bu Langzi, "This is the fourth time you have lied to me."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Bu Langzi roaring, and the muscles on his body were rising, and he was about to tear the fishing net. Unfortunately, those thin silk threads could not withstand such strength, and quickly penetrated into the flesh, causing Bu Langzi to scream in pain. Call.

Seeing the fishing net being tightened, Yun Chu looked at Bu Langzi who was tightly wrapped in the fishing net and said to Zhang Jia, "Leave it to Yan Jiu, I want to know the truth."

See you tomorrow
