"Damn, it's really like riding a roller coaster. [Read the latest chapter]" Xiao Zishan said in a low voice with lingering fear.
"Wealth is found in danger." Wang Luobin still put his hand in his pocket, and Xiao Zishan knew that he had been holding the electric shock device from just now to now.
"What are you talking about? Calm down, calm down." Mr. Wen also sweated a lot on his nose.
The originally passable time travel plan ran into problems from the beginning. As soon as Wen Desi secured the exit of the wormhole, he heard a dog barking wildly, which frightened the three of them to the point where their calves were weak and they went crazy. Fortunately, Wang Luobin had been holding the electric shock device in his hand. Hearing the sound of wind behind him, he quickly pressed the button and used his backhand. The blind cat was like a rat and shocked a vicious dog that was about to pounce and bite Mao Zhishu. Foaming at the mouth, with his legs up in the air, and probably paralyzed, the dogs just barked and stopped coming. Before the three of them could think about what to do next, as soon as the courtyard door opened, seven or eight servants in Tsing Yi rushed in. They had all kinds of swords, guns and sticks in their hands, and there was also a musketeer with a match rope wrapped around his arm. The black muzzle of his gun was pointed directly at them. These three plane travelers have dreams of wealth.
The first batch of people from different time and space encountered during the time and space journey were obviously not very friendly. Not only were they unfriendly, their lives were temporarily in danger. It was the first time in their lives for these otakus to have a blunderbuss pointed at them.
When talking about ancient firearms, they usually despise the Ming Dynasty bird guns, feeling that they are shoddy and have insignificant range and power. However, the distance between the two sides was only more than twenty steps at this time, and the black muzzle of the gun was pointed at him. No matter how bad the blunderbuss was, he would be able to hit him all over his face. He was so panicked that he didn't know what to do. Wen Desi was so frightened that he swallowed the opening line he had thought of.
Fortunately, the servants flinched when they saw the fate of several dogs, and the two sides faced off for a moment. Wen Desi thought that although it would be easy to escape by throwing a smoke bomb at this time, the career of the time and space lord would not end here, and there would be no talk of a unified world in the future. Rebuild China’s great cause! Thinking of this, he felt bold and proud. He raised his hands in the air, spoke in Cantonese, and threw a compact powder box to show that he had no ill intentions.
Unexpectedly, the powder box was so useful. It didn't take long for the three of them to go from being attacked with swords to being guests.
"Old Wang, do you think they are a trap? They tricked us here to arrest us?" Xiao Zishan secretly looked around. This is a real Ming Dynasty building, and what they are sitting on is real Ming Dynasty furniture. Any piece of it can be sold for a good price in this time and space, but no one is in the mood to appreciate it at the moment.
"If they want to do something in the backyard, they can do it..."
"Everyone, just be careful, and don't drink tea." Wen Desi whispered, "Looking at the servants in this house, I guess the owner is also involved in smuggling. Most of these people are ruthless, so be careful if the other party has evil thoughts."
"I got it."
"Zishan, I'm going to throw a smoke bomb in a minute, so help me take out the wormhole quickly. Let's talk right away."
"clear."
While they were discussing in a low voice, they saw seven or eight servants coming in with a middle-aged man in fine clothes. Xiao Zishan and the others had been busy for a while, and they had just calmed down a little. Now their curiosity was greatly increased - these were the true people of the Ming Dynasty! Three pairs of eyes looked straight at this well-maintained and fair middle-aged man.
Mr. Gao just opened the box and was surprised. He has been selling foreign goods for more than 20 years and has gained a lot of knowledge. Not to mention that this powder box, which is neither porcelain nor jade, is very rare. Inlaid inside is a priceless crystal mirror. He has only seen it a few times over the years. Although the size is much larger than this, it is not as bright as it. He heard from the maritime merchant of Folangji that this crystal mirror was only found in one city in Europe. The workshop was built on an island and was heavily guarded. It was always a secret craft. It was rare to see it even in Folangji, let alone In this city of Guangzhou.
These three Japanese people have so much power! Mr. Gao wondered, could he be the envoy of some famous master in Japan? Then I thought about it, the Japanese themselves didn't have enough for daily necessities, and ten of the department stores were sold by Tang ships. How could there be such rare treasures?
Since the other party is willing to pay a lot of money to show his goodwill, he must go and see him no matter what. Mr. Gao has already smelled the smell of silver. To be cautious, he still took his most skilled bodyguard with him.
When they met face to face, Mr. Gao was stunned again. These people were not Japanese!
Guangzhou is a place where people from all over the world live together, and he has seen a lot of Japanese people. Although these three people don't have hair, they don't have the common kundos of Japanese people. One of them has a very short head, like a tutu, and the other two are slightly longer. The clothes are quite strange, the double-breasted jacket is no longer than the knees... This kind of clothing is not worn by the Japanese, nor by the Buddhist monks.
Moreover, these three people are tall and not short like the Japanese at all. All of them are over five feet five inches, and one of them is actually six feet tall.
Judging from his appearance: his skin is fair and his hands and feet are not thick. It is obvious that he is a pampered person. Judging from his expression, although he was a little apprehensive, he definitely did not feel humble and inferior. There was a sense of confidence in his movements.
Mr. Gao has been in the business world for many years and is considered a discerning man. Looking at these three people, he can't see any clues.
Just as he was wondering, he saw three people looking at him with extremely strange eyes. He felt a hair in his heart. He couldn't help but take a step back. He thought that these people were as good as Long Yang. How could he be so mean to a man like him? people.
Here, Xiao Zishan and the others saw the middle-aged man's expression changing, and they also had some doubts. This man looked to be in his fifties, wearing a square scarf and a silk round collar. He has an upright appearance, a light beard, and a fair face that is slightly chubby. It was in sharp contrast to the few dark and thin servants around him.
Mr. Gao raised his hands to Wen Desi and asked, "I wonder what you call a hero?"
Wen Desi's jacket had a long hem and a texture that looked similar to satin. It was obviously different from the coarse cloth jackets of the two short-cut jackets, so it was recognized by Mr. Gao as his.
As soon as these words came out, Wen Desi immediately recognized that this was not Cantonese, but rather had the accent of modern Nanjing dialect. So he said in Mandarin: "We came from overseas. We didn't know the way and stumbled into your house at night. May I ask where this place is?"
Although Mr. Gao didn't understand what he heard, he intuitively felt that these people meant no harm to him. After all, he was used to being in the world. He asked slowly: "Where do these good guys come from?"
Now that they could communicate verbally and the two parties exchanged names in writing and speaking, Wen Desi revealed the formula that had been discussed long ago.
"My ancestors are all Chinese. After Yashan, they fled overseas. We once established a family business in Bo Ni. However, the country's leader saw that the Han people were too powerful and repeatedly tolerated me. So he had to go to the sea again and headed south, until he reached Australia, which is thousands of miles away. Now It’s more than two hundred years old.”
Mr. Gao pondered for a moment and said, "So you are not Japanese?"
"We are Chinese people, how can we be Japanese?!" Wang Luobin interjected dissatisfied.
Mr. Gao raised his eyelids. This group of overseas people really didn't understand the rules, and a servant just interrupted casually.
"We are not Japanese." Wen Desi said. Seeing that the Ming Dynasty official had no objections to this statement, he became bolder and said that Australia was originally a barbaric land with only a small number of natives. , finally become a paradise, live and work in peace and contentment. The ancestors of all generations cherished their homeland, so they sent a few of them to carry goods and do business along the way to have a look.
In fact, there are many loopholes in this statement. How they entered the city and where the ship was anchored were not explained. But just as Wen Desi expected: sometimes you just have to have an idea and stick to it.
Mr. Gao nodded frequently. He knew this place in Bo Ni. There were several foreign ships every year (the foreign ships mentioned in the Ming Dynasty did not mean foreign ships, but the ships that crossed the ocean, that is, the merchants and trading ships of the Ming Dynasty went there. Never He has heard about this matter, but he is too lazy to take it seriously. Anyway, it happened hundreds of years ago. Who can understand it? Besides, he is not interested in Bo Ni or Australia.
"...I didn't know the way and entered your house by mistake, disturbing Baofang. Please forgive me for my sin." Wen Desi said, and gave him a hand-off gesture, "We came from overseas, where is this place?" "
"It's easy to talk about," Mr. Gao said. It is not easy for these few people to carry a lot of treasure and to be able to enter the city late at night. If you listen to this kind of rhetoric, you will simply say, "This is Guangzhou Prefecture of the Ming Dynasty, Nanhai County."
Wen Desi then asked again: "I wonder what year, month and day it is today?"
Mr. Gao was startled and replied: "It's February of the seventh year of the Apocalypse."
