Chapter 22, Snake Wine

After the king's investigation, the Han delegation had not yet arrived at Puli, and Father Su's caravan had also not arrived. It seemed that Gu Mo Road was a little difficult to walk, so it was slow.

The king sent his own attendant to arrange Fu Jiezi's living, but left Su Wei, thinking that he was discussing things inside the fire religion.

Follow the attendant to a side hall, which specializes in entertaining guests. The attendant made a comparison for him. Fu Jiezi even guessed and understood some. Here were two better-looking Pu Li women serving him. This is the first time he has seen a woman since he entered the palace.

The two women don't know Chinese, but just take care of his living. The two maids looked at him as if they had seen some strange species. They were neither shy nor afraid, and looked very bold.

Talking to them, Fu Jiezi had a feeling of being teased, but he couldn't flirt with them in turn, so he had to wash his head and sleep first.

At night, the star saint and Suwei came once. The star saint was embarrassed to see her alone, so she took Suvera and beat her. Because he was sleepy and didn't say much, Fu Jiezi opened the two maids and looked at Su Wei eagerly. Su Wei understood and was a little angry and said, "Xiaofu, please be honest these two days. Don't think about Sister Xing anymore, or it will kill people.

The star saint blushed and bit her lips and didn't say anything.

Fu Jiezi had to stop, said a few words with the star saint, and then dispersed. She slept all night. When she got up the next day, she didn't see the star saint. Su Wei came over. She was also a saint's servant and let Fu Jiezi have a good rest here. She and the star saint had to deal with some major events in the teaching. She couldn't come to see him for the time being. Fu Jiezi asked and found Luo Ya to repair the resurrection scene. These things can't be interfered with by outsiders, so it's better for Fu Jiezi not to go.

After Su Wei left, Fu Jiezi was as in prison. There was really nothing else to do, and he was also worried about the safety of the Han delegation. He had already arrived after a big detour, but the Han delegation and Father Su's caravan were delayed. Did they miss it or delay on the road? He decided to walk around the city.

Because they wanted to go out, the two maids seemed to follow the prisoner, and when they left, they told the guards that the entourage followed the two guards. Because they were not familiar with the place, Fu Jiezi did not dare to hold it big, so he also agreed. The five people went to the city together.

Princess Castle is the place of the reign of Puli (ps1). It is relatively prosperous. Although it is not as prosperous as Chang'an, it is small enough to compare with any large city in the Han Dynasty. Because it is located in the throat of the Silk Road, it is not only full of people but also prosperous. If he did not come, it would be difficult for him to imagine this exotic wilderness. There is also such a paradise-like place.

The western part of Puli is a country without thunder. No thunder is a subordinate country of the Yue family, and it is much larger than Puli. The trade between them is very close. Fu Jiezi walked around the city for a while and saw many different races from the Puli people. He can't tell where it is different. After a comparison between the two maids, Only then did he learn that he was a man from the Kingdom of Thunder.

Everyone came to a tavern to drink wine. Because when they arrived at these places that may never come back, Fu Jiezi was very curious about the local customs here, especially the way of brewing wine in the Western Regions was completely different from that of the Han Dynasty. Although it was not better than the Han Dynasty, it was self-contained and tasted different. Like.

Fu Jiezi asked the two bodyguards to drink together. He was born in the army and had special feelings for these soldiers. The two guards were a little happy and felt that the Han general was easy to talk, so they sat down. After all, he was born in Zhumen nobles. Although he later joined the war (ps2), the aristocratic problems in his bones had not been exhausted. Fu Jiezi also tried to let the two maids taste. He wanted them to look naive. He didn't expect the two maids to drink this bloody wine, which was much more fierce than himself.

Fu Jiezi was not afraid of the jokes between the two, but just took two sips. This is a wine tasting. He will not compete because the two women drink more than him.

At this time, there was still a group of people sitting opposite the pub. It seemed to be a merchant from Wulei, led by a weak man who looked like a gust of wind could blow down. Because he was a foreigner, he gave people a very eye-catching feeling. Similarly, Fu Jiezi, a Han man, was more eye-catching here than him, at least his head. The color of hair and eyes is different.

The businessman of Wulei probably saw him drinking and toasted him with a small glass from afar, like a fishy pity between two foreigners.

Fu Jiezi also replied. Their drinking glass was too small. The kind of wine glass that was only the size of a thumb made people drink very boldly. Fu Jiezi felt that it was nondescript. He didn't know much about Wulei Kingdom. He wanted to make friends with this merchant, so he went to say hello. Because he didn't understand the language, it seemed It was so funny that both of them laughed as they drank.

Fu Jiezi felt that this thin man's voice was very rich and full of air. He seemed to be an alien and would never be an ordinary person.

There are still more than a dozen people sitting with the people of Wulei. Fu Jiezi didn't find a fat man, but everyone's words are full of temperament, which makes him puzzled. I don't know what's special about this Wulei country, just like elite people. They look weak, but they are like devils when fighting a war. .

After drinking for a while, the thunderless man signaled that the wine was not good. Fu Jiezi was used to drinking spirits. This light wine is fresh, but the taste is really insufficient.

The man of Wulei took a pot from his waist and threw it to Fu Jiezi. Fu Jiezi picked up the pot and smelled it, and a pungent smell came to his face. Fu Jiezi smelled it. It was a snake!

Fu Jiezi never dared to be careless about the snake. He marched in the wild, and soldiers were bitten by poisonous snakes every day.

And at this moment, a letter suddenly flashed in the pot, and a golden snake poked out its head like lightning! Fu Jiezi's eyes and hands are fast. He practices Taoist skills, so his hands and eyes are much faster than ordinary people. Relatively, he looks at other things and slower. Although this little snake is fast, it is not as fast as his eyes.

Fu Jiezi pinched the seven-inch place of the little snake with his hand, shook his hand, threw the little golden snake out, picked up the meat-cutting dagger on the table, and shot it like lightning, and the little golden snake was nailed to the pillar.

Fu Jiezi was shocked and looked at these thunder-free people who were very hostile. Unexpectedly, he suddenly laughed, as if he stretched out his thumb, indicating that he was good at it.

Fu Jiezi's hostility is still unsipation. Wu Lei took out a pot from the waist of the man next to him and also opened the lid of the pot. A small golden snake flashed out of its head, but it just flashed its head and did nothing. Wu Leiren picked up the snake's head and showed it to Fu Jiezi, showing Yi has pulled out his poisonous teeth and is well trained. These snakes will not bite people.

Only then did Fu Jiezi understand that they were not hostile, but why did he put a snake in the wine pot?

Wu Lei took out the golden snake and poured a few mouthfuls into the wine pot, which made Fu Jiezi shudder. Snakes, scorpions, centipedes and other poisons were used to soak medicinal wine, but the live snake saw it for the first time. Seeing the thunderless man drinking the wine, his stomach was upside down.

The thunderous man motioned him to invite. Fu Jiezi smiled bitterly and broke his confidence if he didn't drink it. If he drank it, it would be a little disgusting.

Fu Jiezi gave the wine pot to the two guards and maids. Although the two maids drank wine fiercely, they looked at the snake wine and their faces changed. They still had lingering lingering when they looked at the snake nailed to the wall, let alone drinking.

The two guards were also scared and in awe of the snake wine.

Fu Jiezi would not pretend to be the hero. He also stretched out his thumb to Wu Leiren to show his strength, and then pointed to himself, indicating that he was a bastard. He didn't have the courage.

It's not that he doesn't dare to drink, but now the enemy and I are unknown. He doesn't want to take care of this big one, and everyone's physique is different. In case he dies here, it's not worth it.

But in order to save face, he also lost his wine pot, which was filled with soaked scorpions and poisonous bees.

The thunderless man laughed and took a sip. There seemed to be something in his mouth. He took it out and saw that it was a dead scorpion. Suddenly, his stomach turned upside down and spit it out directly.

It is equally disgusting to use dead scorpions to soak medicinal wine. Dead scorpions are corpses, and it is difficult to imagine wine soaked in corpses. This is the difference between the East and the West.

Fu Jiezi also laughed. He took it and took two sips, and then handed it to Wulei, signaling him to drink. Several Leiren kept laughing and shook their heads very implicitly, unable to signal.

Ps1: In the Western Han Dynasty, the Puli Kingdom was called the Pantuo Kingdom in the Tang Dynasty. When Tang Xuanzang returned to the Tang Dynasty from India in 614, Xuanzang, who went to the Pamir Plateau, asserted that the Princess Castle was the center of the early days of the Pantuo Kingdom, and now the stone city in the Tashkurgan Tajik Autonomous County is the new capital of the country after it became strong.

Ps2: The idiom "writing from Rong" comes from Ban Chao. Ban Chao decided to write from the Western Regions. However, before Ban Chao, another Ping Western Regions was Fu Jiezi. He was born in the aristocracy and was promoted to martial arts throughout the country during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, so he abandoned literature and devoted himself to martial arts.
