Chapter 1255: Thanks to Allah
"The investigation of Miss Mu's family was originally the task of the Eighth Team of Guarding the Court. This matter is a bit twists and turns... I lost several times, and that group of people is not simple..."
On a spring afternoon, the warm sun, the shade of trees, the red mud stove, and the fragrance of tea lingering. Xi Yunfei and his elder brother Xi Junmai sat opposite each other.
"After the Ancient Master took over, I asked them to secretly install a signal device on the other party's carry-on... I dare not follow too close..."
Xi Junbu's voice was intermittent, a little hoarse, and with a little fatigue, he picked up the teacup and drank the hot tea, and frowned and looked at Xi Yunfei: "Dad said that they may be a mysterious force, similar to a sect and superior to the ordinary Green Forest Organization."
"Is it so exaggerated?" Xi Yunfei tilted his head and leaned half of his body against the handrail. "What about now, is it lost?"
Xi Junmai put down the cup, shook his head and said, "No, Xiaojiu follows you. The people from Anbu dare not get too close. I sent a team of twenty people... I had already left the Lucheng area yesterday, and the direction should be towards Yanshan."
"So mysterious?"
"Yes, I really don't know what it is..."
···
"What's going on with the Western Army?"
"It's quite smooth. The third supply has been sent. This time, Shuofang Chamber of Commerce sent several responsible persons to come."
While the two were talking, Xi Yunfei looked up toward the northwest.
The sight of the clouds lying in the clear sky like mountains, the earth seemed to be moving forward rapidly, gradually turning from green mountains into empty fields, from green to yellow, connecting from Gobi to yellow sand, and finally the poplar forests and towering snow-capped mountains...
Three airships slowly landed on the budding grass, and the huge wind squids rolled up the flying catkins all over the sky, as if it was clear and white snow.
Pei Mingli jumped off the airship in surprise. The team in front of him was too terrible. It was a vast crowd. At first glance, it was all full of people. After searching for a while, it was only to see Xie Yingdeng in the crowd.
He hurriedly brought a few managers to greet him. Pei Mingli respectfully greeted Xie Yingdeng, Cheng Yaojin and others.
Xie Yingdeng said apologetically: "I originally wanted to separate these people, but then I thought that you would meet them too, so I just let them join in the fun... These are all merchants from the Western Regions, and a few of them are good-powered..."
Hearing his reminder, Pei Mingli looked back and saw several Hu people with high noses saluting him. One of the handsome middle-aged men said in a not-so-standard official language: "Tarban has seen the respected Lord of the Tang Dynasty." He had no idea of the meaning of the title of Lord of the Head, and he said it at this time all based on a sense of respect.
Pei Mingli laughed and replied with a bow, bowing: "You are welcome, my surname is Pei."
"Oh, respected Chief Pei."
Talban looked at Pei Mingli with joy, especially the clothes on Pei Mingli, to be precise, as Shuofang did not have this taboo, so the clothes at the main level were mainly purple, and silver textures or buttons were used as embellishments.
Xie Yingdeng patted Pei Mingli on the shoulder and said, "Then you talk, I'll go and see the items that will be supplied this time."
After he left, Pei Mingli looked at Talban and his group, thought for a while, and then said, "If you are interested, we can find a place to chat."
Talban's blue pupils lit up instantly and he quickly said, "Just like this, respected Master Pei, I have arranged a banquet in the city..."
"Then you wait for me." Pei Mingli nodded to him, then explained a few words to the managers beside him. One of them looked at Talban and others, raised a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, turned around and ran towards the airship.
Not long after, a scream sounded from the noisy crowd. Everyone looked up and saw the manager riding a desert terrain car rumble towards them.
Talban and his group were startled. The shape of the terrain car was comparable to that of a giant beast in their eyes. The two huge headlights were the two eyes of the giant beast. The four wheels were thick and large, and the smoke and dust were raised all over the sky, which was comparable to the scene of a group of beasts running wildly.
"Dangerous, dangerous..." Talban hurriedly went to pull Pei Mingli away, but Pei Mingli hid in. When the terrain car stopped in front of him, he smiled and said, "Grandpa Talban, please lead the way in front." As he said that, he went straight into the passenger seat.
There were only two positions for the terrain car. In fact, several managers consciously joined the Talban and their group and rode on their camels.
Along the way, the terrain car attracted all its attention and became another shocking scenic spot in the city of Khotan after the airship.
The place where Pei Mingli was hosted was the most luxurious guesthouse in the city of Otan. It had exquisite stone sculptures and gorgeous blankets. Everyone sat around a pile of delicious food. There were no tables or chairs. They were always grabbing their meals. The only tableware was a few silver daggers.
Pei Mingli was a little uncomfortable, so he looked around and directed the manager. The latter ordered people to bring a low table, exquisite glassware, and a bottle of fruit wine, which was decorated with the whitest porcelain. The sunlight shone in through the skylight, and the white porcelain was so clear that it could see the liquid inside.
The manager and Pei Mingli smiled at each other, and then took out a white porcelain dish from the box without any patterns, but the people of Tarban just couldn't move their eyes...
Pei Mingli took a glass of wine, poured a glass of fruit wine for Tarban, and said, "Come on, try the fine wine produced by my Shuofang to see if it is good wine or is this lime wine easier to eat."
Tarban took the cup in a panic, first looking up and down at the material of the cup. "Crystal?" He glanced at several companions beside him. Seeing their envious look, his vanity was greatly satisfied. He followed Pei Mingli's appearance, clamped the cup's feet with his middle finger and ring finger, held the smooth and transparent cup in his hand, and tasted it in a small mouth.
"Well, this wine...isn't it sour?"
When Pei Mingli heard this comment, he knew that his purpose had been achieved. He smiled and said, "The manager would pour him another cup." As for the others, he ignored him, and he felt superior throughout the whole process, and only Talban was in his eyes.
The king is against the king, the general is against the general, and the manager next to Pei Mingli has already prepared several bottles of fruit wine. This lime wine has some seasonings, and the degree is about ten degrees. There is a faint lime smell in the mouth, and it has a hint of sweetness. It will be fragrant after it is sweet.
As for the wines of this era, no one drinks the liquid that is sour, astringent, and full of impurities in Shuofang.
Behind Tarban, a Hu man who specializes in wine trading, had his whole face shook after taking a sip of fruit wine. This time he brought a lot of wine over here. Now that he has drunk such sweet fruit wine, all those wines can be poured.
The unwilling mood brewed a glass of wine, and then it disappeared. It was true that the wine could not be sold, but the Shuofang Chamber of Commerce had so many good things. I was afraid that I could make a fortune by taking some back to sell it.
