A few of the guys in the tavern couldn't understand why the person who suddenly broke out was so protective of Hu Man, but when he heard the words behind him, the leader was a little suspicious, thought about it, and said: "It's not impossible, but you have to promise us a condition, if this bead is really valuable, we don't want his beads, he just paid for the meal, if this bead is fake, then don't stop us from taking him to the official." ”

"Okay." After Liu Lan finished speaking, he looked at Hu Ren and said, "Take out your beads." ”

The Hu people were stunned for a long time, just now they were really stunned, and it took a long time to grope in their arms under the coaxing of the surrounding crowd, and took out a bead, glassware, at this time it is called glass, the beads are not a circle in the conventional sense, but a flat drum shape, with a diameter of five centimeters, the beads are yellow, the parent body is translucent, and its ornamentation is also very simple, it is a geometric pattern, and its concentric circles are five layers, embedded in the flat inlay technique, the center point is dark blue, and the outer layer is brown and white or blue and white. The embedded eyeballs are integrated, not protruding and not easy to fall off.

The huge bead immediately made exclamations sound all around, and Liu Lan was naturally one of them, of course he saw what the bead in the hands of the Hu people was, dragonfly eyes, in this era it has a more resounding name, the pearl of the Hou of Sui, if anyone still doesn't know, then the same name as the He's Bi must be a household name.

The dragonfly eye, that is, the pearl of the Marquis of Sui, entered China during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because it is scarce, and it is reasonable that the shopkeeper does not know its value, but although this thing is extremely precious in the Central Plains, if you want to transport and sell, it is impractical to travel long distances and second, this thing is also precious in West Asia and Egypt. However, if you can get the process of making glaze, of course, the Han Dynasty at this time also had a glaze process. But at this time, Liu Lan was thinking about whether he could seek a combination of things and make glass as soon as possible, as for the rest. It seems that there are all in China now, and as for potatoes and peppers, they are in the Americas, so Liu Lan doesn't count on them.

Liu Lan returned the beads to Hu Ren and reassured him: "You don't have to worry, I will save you." After speaking, he said to the previous leader: "Although his bead is the same as the pearl of the Sui Marquis, it is far from the same, I think this is also the reason why your shopkeeper is so eye-catching, since this Hu man is not a sincere fraud." It's better to make a big thing small, how about a few people? ”

"Big things into small things? How to turn a big thing into a small one, unless you pay for his meal, otherwise you will have to drag Hu Man, who eats and drinks, to see the official today. ”

"Okay, but I have something to explain to him in advance, I wonder if you can let me have a few words with him alone?"

The leader was obviously on guard, Liu Lan told him that he would not go far, not to mention that his friends were still around, although the leader did not let down his guard. But still signaling that he could talk to Hu Man alone, Liu Lan took him a few steps away and asked in a low voice, "Where are you from and what is your name?" ”

"My hometown is in Otsukiji. In the Central Plains, they all called me Zhiqian. ”

"You're a merchant?"

"No, I moved to the Central Plains with my grandfather Fadu."

"So have you heard of Rome?"

"You know Rome?"

"It is not surprising that in Zhangye there were blond, blue-eyed Hu people from Rome who settled. And I see that your appearance is also blonde and blue-eyed, and you should not be the aborigines of the Great Moon Branch. Right. ”

"I didn't expect you to see it at a glance."

"That's why I'll help you, but before I help you. You need to promise me one thing. ”

"To Rome?"

Liu Lan is happy, he likes to chat with smart people: "Yes." ”

"I wonder what you need me to do for you?"

"Persuade them to come to the Central Plains, and if no one comes, bring some of their classics."

"Cheng, as long as you can save me."

"You promised so quickly, you can't be fooling me, right?"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Zhi Qian said with trepidation.

"You'd better not fool me, I still know some Roman texts, so you can't fool me, not to mention that you don't know my identity yet, if you dare to fool me, or even never return, then you have to pray that your family living in Luoyang will not die too ugly."

Zhi Qian wanted to cry, at the beginning he wanted to fool Liu Lan to save himself, as for going to Rome, don't even think about it so far, he originally planned to go back to Yuezhi and then come back to fool him, but now it seems that it is not so easy, especially some of the names he said are not heard of except Aristotle and Archimedes, as for Hero's "On Agriculture" and "On Architecture" written by Ruvio, I have never heard of it at all, so don't think about it if you want to be fooled.

Liu Lan looked at the bitter melon on his face and said with a smile: "You can think about it now, promise to help you now, if you don't agree, you will follow them to see the official, I think your family will definitely not let you go to Luoyang Prison." ”

"No, no." As if he had done something wrong and was afraid that his family would find out, Zhi Qian almost shouted in a voice of extreme fear: "I promise you, I promise you." ”

At this time, in the Fusheng Pavilion, half an hour after Liu Lan left, Wang Yue also quietly left the Fusheng Pavilion, looking at the back of Wang Yue's departure, the old bustard and Lai Ying'er turned back to the room, and the old bustard said: "The identity of the young man who came with Wang Yue is not ordinary. ”

Lai Oiran just smiled and didn't speak, this woman is the strangest creature in the world, just like Lai Ying'er at this time, he doesn't care about Liu Lan's identity, he is just curious about this man who left resolutely after watching his song and dance, who is he and what is he doing? Unexpectedly, he didn't say anything to himself?

"You're on his mind?"

"Who?"

"The young man who came with Wang Yue."

"No, just curious."

"I advise you not to set yourself on fire."

"I know how to measure things."

"That's for the best."

Not long after Wang Yue returned home from the gold market, suddenly there was a knock on the door, Wang Yue opened the door, the person who came lowered his head, couldn't see his face clearly, his voice was hoarse, obviously deliberately changed his voice, only to hear him say: "Where have you been?" The words of the visitor were full of blame and dissatisfaction, Wang Yue looked helpless, and said, "Aren't I in a hurry to rush back, what happened?" ”

"The Son of Heaven has passed down the password."

"What's the matter?"

"It's still the news you heard from the White Horse Temple last time, Xiangkai has arrived in Jizhou, that person, you have to closely monitor these days, waiting for the edict of the Son of Heaven."

"No."

"You've been drinking?"

"And Liu Lan."

"He's it?" The man said calmly, "You've been close to him lately?" ”

"It's fine."

"Let's cut off contact with him in the future."

"Why?" Wang Yue was a little baffled.

"He's going to die." After leaving such a sentence, the man disappeared into the night in an instant, leaving Wang Yue alone in disbelief, didn't the Son of Heaven intend to let Liu Lan go? (To be continued......)
