Section 0610 Unexpected Guest

Xiao Ling'er was talking about the dowry, but Liu Mu was thinking about Dugu Lanruo and Baoqin.

What is Dugu Lanruo's dowry Liu Muzhen doesn't know, this is not important, the important thing is that Baoqin seems to have nothing now, and he has no assets in his hands.

At least Yanagi doesn't know what Huqin has.

Thinking about holding the qin, and being tired after running for a day, Liu Mu fell asleep after a while.

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Ling'er woke up Liu Mu: "Husband, there is a fast boat from the West Port Shipping Division rushing to Kumamoto Port, and they arrived here after arriving at Huating Port first. ”

"Huh? There is an urgency. Willow opened his eyes, which were still a little foggy.

"I don't know." Xiao Ling'er would definitely not know that the Xigang Shipping Division had an urgent matter to find Liu Mu, and would definitely not tell Xiao Ling'er about it.

Liu Mu turned over and got up, and Xiao Ling'er immediately arranged for the maid to come and change Liu Mu's clothes.

Soon, in a living room that had been prepared in the front yard of Liumu's temporary house, it turned out to be Feng Xuan from Xigang. This is Feng An's own brother, and when he sees Feng Xuan Liumu, he feels that things will not be small.

Feng Xuan stepped forward: "Brother Mu, there is a very special guest here, our people can't understand a word of what he says, but he can speak Persian, and our people can almost understand it." And he said that he was from the fresh Joma, and that he was the governor of the seat of Din. He looks like a rich man in the countryside, but he looks like a big man in terms of momentum. ”

"Where are the people?"

"On my boat. My brother told me that although it was a little difficult to communicate, he felt that it might be an opportunity, and he said that he thought it was a big man, at least a big man who could be on an equal footing with him, so he wanted to send it to Chang'an, and knowing that you were in Kumamoto, I brought someone with me. ”

Liu Mu didn't rush to answer, Ruoma didn't react to what kind of willow wood it was, it was still fresh Ruoma.

"So, let's go...... Hangzhou. ”

"Okay." Feng Xuan didn't ask why, he believed that Liu Mu must have made a decision.

Liu Mu got on Feng Xuan's boat and went to Hangzhou immediately, and Xiao Linger casually took Liu Mu's luggage and went to Hangzhou a little later.

Even if he was in the same boat, Yanagi was not in a hurry to see the guest.

During the few days on the ship, Liu Mu communicated the details of the guest with Feng Xuan for a few days, and probably guessed who the other party might be.

Then Liu Mu made some simple arrangements.

Hangzhou Bay, which is one of the most important harbor wharves in Datang, Li Shentong personally came to greet Liu Mu when he arrived, and put on a full show.

The guest stepped out of the boat, his eyes wide and he looked around.

When he was in Lingnan, he did not have the opportunity to go to Guangzhou Port, he had not yet seen the prosperity of Datang, Hangzhou Bay is an important port for foreign trade in the states and counties of Jiangnan East Province, and there are thousands of large and small ships entering and leaving the dock every day.

As far as the eye can see, the sea is dotted with countless ships.

Looking at the wharf again, there are silk flags that can be compared to gold in sight, and countless people wearing silk are constantly crowding on the wharf.

"This is where the Silk Road came from!" The guest spoke to himself in his own language, which no one here could understand.

After Liu Mu and Li Shentong met on the dock, Li Shentong asked Liu Mu: "What the hell are those golden and red hairs on the bow of the boat?" ”

"I don't know yet, but I guess we're going to get rich, make a fortune."

"Uncle likes that."

"Tell people to set up a banquet, I will meet these people for a while, and let these barbarians see our Datang."

Li Shentong laughed: "It's no problem, it's a trivial matter." ”

In the evening, in the small living room of the garden that Li Shentong lent to Liu Mu, Liu Mu took an official who was proficient in Persian to meet with the person whose identity he did not know. ”

"Hello!" Liu Mu spoke first, and the other party looked dazed.

Liu Muxin said that the modern English of later generations was really useless, and now he used two words he learned when he was traveling: "Yasuo." Seeing that the other party still didn't react, Liu Mu continued: "Sai ah ga. ”

"Sai Ah Ga!" The other party seemed very excited, and he completely understood this sentence.

Liu Mu took a blank piece of paper, quickly drew a sketch of the Mediterranean, and then drew four circles in four locations: Greece, Rome, Egypt, and Constantinople.

After a closer look, the guest pointed to the location of Constantine.

Yanagi drew another Orthodox double-headed eagle.

The guest looked reverently on the willow wood painting and bowed to his chest.

I saw that the willow wood drew a crown under the double-headed eagle, and then branched, and then branched down in turn.

The guest seemed to understand what Willow meant, and was asking for his identity, and immediately drew a small tiara next to the first level of the crown. Then it pointed again at Constantine.

Willow said to the interpreter, "Ask him in Persian if he is the overseer of Patriarch Constantine, or the governor or something." What else can a Patriarch be called? ”

The interpreter said of the conception: "Pony, the Latin word for patriarch seems to mean the head of their religion. ”

After arduous communication, Yanagi finally understood that the other party was the chief overseer under the Patriarch of Constantine in the Eastern Roman Empire, and at the same time, he also came to the Eastern powers to offer friendship on behalf of the Eastern Roman Emperor.

According to historical records, it was indeed in the early Tang Dynasty that Jingjiao was introduced to the Central Plains, and then it was still sinicized.

Nestorianism is the Orthodox Christianity of Byzantium.

Liu Mu asked someone to take out a purple silk and put it on for the guest with his own hands, and the guest hurriedly excused himself.

The interpreter told Yanagi that the guest stated that he was not qualified to use such silk.

"The nobleman under the purple veil, it seems that there is nothing wrong, he is indeed a Byzantine, because in Byzantium, only the royal family is qualified to use purple, and he is also called the nobleman under the purple veil, which means the most noble noble."

Yanagi's words surprised the interpreter, and after communicating with the guest, the interpreter also confirmed what Yanagi had just said.

"You tell me that this is a gift from me, and that I am qualified to let him use such silk. My wife is the first princess of the Tang Empire. After finishing speaking, Liu Mu added: "In your words, you must explain that it is the Tang Empire, and then the first princess." ”

The translator dutifully completed the translation of the willow wood, and the guest accepted the silk.

Liu Mu asked again: "Is it because the Persians beat your emperor and put great pressure?" ”

After a moment of communication, the interpreter said to Liu Mu: "Liu Gong, their war with the Persians has been going on for a hundred years this year. ”

"Ask him if the two of them have fought to the emptiness of national strength, and there are not a few gold coins in the emperor's treasury. He came this time, is there any military purpose. ”10
