Chapter 355: A place where demons dance wildly
“Yifan, I’ve been waiting for you!”
Zhuge Liang heard the report from his subordinates, immediately put down his government affairs and came out to welcome him.
"Don't do this! I was scared when I saw your appearance. You were like this when you asked me to supervise the making of those 50,000 knives. At that time, I didn't know your sinister thoughts and almost died from exhaustion. "
Pu Yuan waved his hand, not giving any face to the current Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.
Zhuge Liang’s expression did not change, and his face was still full of smiles. “When guests come from afar, is it wrong to be happy and excited?”
"It would be great if you really treat me as a guest, but I'm afraid you already treat me as a coolie in your heart."
Pu Yuan pointed at Zhuge Liang unceremoniously and laughed.
"He who can do it should work harder!" Zhuge Liang didn't mind. He poured a bowl of water for Pu Yuan himself and said, "You have traveled all over Yizhou in the past three years, have you gained anything?"
Pu Yuan took a sip of water and smiled at Huang Yueying who was sitting beside him and said, "Junior sister, let's see if your husband treats me as a coolie?"
Huang Yueying pursed her lips and smiled, "Senior brother, I am determined to search the mountains and rivers of the world to find rare iron and fine river water, so as to build Moye, the general of the Han Dynasty. How can the things that I enjoy doing become a coolie?"
"I shouldn't ask you." Pu Yuan smiled helplessly, shook his head and said, "I forgot that you and I are one and the same. I didn't even get a bite of food here, and you two forced me to fight each other. What a disaster. bitter."
Huang Yueying smiled slightly and said, "Senior brother, if you want to eat delicious food, it will be easy."
"I know a person who once specialized in the art of changing teeth. He said bluntly that if he claimed to be second in the world when it comes to eating, no one would dare to claim to be first. I will take my senior brother to his place another day to keep him safe. Eat to your heart’s content.”
"I won't go to the palace. I was deceived by Kong Ming a few years ago. I went to the palace to meet Liu Bei and had a good meal, but in exchange I worked hard day and night. It's not worth it!"
In Pu Yuan's heart, the best place for this big man to eat is naturally in the palace.
“It’s not a palace, it’s a village outside the city.”
“Oh, doesn’t Kong Ming always claim to be indifferent and peaceful? When did you find such a good cook?”
Pu Yuan asked curiously.
“He is not a cook, he is a junior to my younger sister. In my younger sister’s letter, I also mentioned this person to my senior brother, his surname is Feng.”
Huang Yueying explained.
“It turned out to be that Feng Wenhe?”
“Senior brother, please don’t talk nonsense, he is not a well-spoken person like me.”
Pu Yuan clicked his tongue and said, "A young man who looks quite handsome is actually ruthless and vicious when he comes up with tricks. Do you think we have wronged him with the words "Wenhe"?"
“Have Yifan seen him?”
Zhuge Liang was thoughtful and heard other meanings from Pu Yuan's words.
"I've seen it before. When I just came from outside the city, I saw someone giving away the second son of the Zhao family. The leader was so generous! I heard the second son of the Zhao family call him brother. If I look closely, he is not the Zhao family. The boss, so I think that it is most likely the young man that my junior sister mentioned in the letter."
Back then, Pu Yuan finished making a sword for Zhao Yun in private and sent the sword to Zhao's house before leaving. Therefore, he had met Zhao Yun's two sons. It was not surprising that Zhao Guang felt that Pu Yuan looked familiar.
It's just that Zhao Yun didn't tell his two sons Pu Yuan's true identity at that time.
Although Zhao Guang has changed a bit in the past two years, he still has the same appearance as before. In addition, he holds the sword made by Pu Yuan himself, so he was recognized immediately.
“Feng Mingwen is good at making money and likes luxury, and Erlang is regarded as a brother by him, so the things he gives away may be more generous, which is not surprising.”
“This is not something that can be justified by lavishness.”
Pu Yuan still felt a little distressed when he thought of the armor and sabers made of fine iron. "The rare fine iron was used and wasted by that boy! The armor and weapons made of it are really unsightly."
"Rare fine iron?!" Zhuge Liang's peach blossom eyes flashed, "How can that kid have rare fine iron?"
If the word "fine iron" is spoken in other people's mouth, it may be ordinary fine iron, but when it is said in Pu Yuan's mouth, the weight is different, not to mention the word "rare" is added.
At least it is of the same level as the fine iron he used to cast the eight swords three years ago.
“How do I know this?”
Pu Yuan glanced at Zhuge Liang and said curiously, "You are the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. Isn't that boy working under you? Don't you know?"
I know a...
Zhuge Liang was both embarrassed and angry.
Pu Yuan's words were like a spear piercing the heart of the Han Prime Minister, making him feel a dull pain in his heart.
After Ma Su and Jiang Wan's descriptions of Nanxiang County, he, the Han prime minister, could no longer imagine what it was like.
All rules were overturned there.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the most important food.
If a county with a population of tens of thousands only grows mulberry and hemp without growing an acre of grain, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty will directly borrow the heads of the people in that county to use it.
Isn’t this a way to create chaos?
But that boy just doesn’t grow!
It just so happens that I still have to protect it carefully, for fear that the people in that place will be hungry.
Anyway, he only felt that it was very strange there, so strange that it made people scared, because there was no place similar to it in the whole world.
Herds of cattle, sheep and horses were kept in sheds, and I don’t know how they were fed?
Countless kilns are emitting black smoke day and night, as if the ghosts from the underworld have been released to wander in the human world.
Even the road is different from other places. Everyone says it is paved with a large flat stone - have you ever seen a road that is paved with a single stone for dozens or hundreds of miles?
Every person who comes to Nanxiang for the first time can't help but be amazed when they see the road paved with artificial stones. There are many who even kneel down and call out to the gods.
Not long ago, a certain big clan in Shu who did not know life or death sent people to assassinate that kid. Then, when those few rangers who had never seen the world came to Nanxiang and saw that kind of magical road, their legs immediately became weak.
Finally, I ran away with tears in my eyes and turned myself in, saying that I was blind and could not recognize the true gods...
Then the prime minister of the Han Dynasty conveniently stole another aristocratic family from central Shu to finance the southern expedition.
Not to mention that even the children of lowly family members can read - note, it is the children, not just the sons.
So now some people are privately saying that Nanxiang is a place where demons dance wildly.
According to the Han Prime Minister's strong desire for control, it is so heartbreaking that these places are not completely under his control.
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't leave, he would have wanted to go and see what happened.
Huang Yueying naturally knew what her husband was thinking, so she smiled and explained, "This son is the direct disciple of the core of the Zajia Mountain Sect. His knowledge is extremely comprehensive. Who dares to say that he can fully understand what he is doing?"
