Chapter 644 I, Zhao Huniu, just want you to fall in love with me! And then dump you!
The Zoroastrian Temple in Huaiyuanfang is where Zoroastrianism holds sacrificial activities or where Zoroastrians worship.
Because Daxia did not prohibit the spread of foreign religions, there was once a third-rank official in Daxia who "personally sang and danced to serve the Hu Tian."
The god worshipped by Zoroastrianism is Hu Tian.
Inside the main hall of the Nuoda Ao Temple, many Zoroastrians wearing red robes and covering their faces are worshipping the huge statue of Hu Tian in front of them for today's festival.
Some believers even walked carefully inside the hall, holding flowers and water in their hands, and worshipped other gods worshipped by Zoroastrianism on the murals on the walls of the hall, such as the Fire Winged God, the Bird God, etc.
Among these worshippers, there were two elderly people from the Western Regions, a man and a woman. They were unremarkable, just ordinary believers.
When she came in front of God Mazda, she bowed respectfully. Then the old woman dipped the flowers in her hand into water and gently sprinkled them in front of the mural of God Mazda. Then she knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully.
The old man's actions were exactly the same.
The two men behaved with extreme piety and caution.
At this time, someone also came to pay homage to God Mazda and stood beside the two old men. He whispered in the Western dialect, "Gu Zan has woken up, but his injuries are still very serious. There is no news about what hurt him. The Great Xia court has no idea. There are many secret guards around Zhao Wuxiu's mansion. We dare not act rashly."
The two old men placed their hands together, palms facing up, on the ground and kowtowed to the gods in the mural and prayed.
The Western Regions man, who was also dressed like an ordinary member of the sect, knew that the two who had just arrived in Beijing two days ago must not speak, otherwise they would immediately attract Yan Yunxiao's attention. So he didn't wait for them to speak and continued, "However, Zhao Wuxiu's daughter, Zhao Huniu, really came to Huaiyuanfang. Now Dani and the others are following her, and they have also discovered the four guards around Zhao Wuxiu. Dani can't tell their strength, so he judged that their strength is at least seventh rank, and there may be ninth rank."
Just when this person finished speaking.
Inside the hall, many believers stood up as an old man in a white robe appeared.
The old man walked to the front of Hu Tian in the hall, spread his hands in front of him, bowed his head respectfully, and whispered softly: "Mobed. Let the curtain of darkness burn in the flames, so that the God of Light cannot be indifferent or blasphemed, Ashemwohu."
Following this old man, all the believers stood up and performed the same movements and chanted the same thing.
The two old men also stood up and whispered, "Yataahu."
The person who spoke also bowed respectfully towards Hu Tian.
The old man in white walked to the front and began to recite some scriptures of Zoroastrianism. The Zoroastrian believers in the hall followed him and recited devoutly.
The huge hall seemed to be filled with piety all of a sudden, and everyone was extremely serious.
One of the two old men turned around and looked at the man who was speaking.
The man glanced at the old man and then shook his head. "It's hard to say at the moment. After all, Gu Zan's entire abdomen was completely pierced. He was able to save his life because he used Klesin's medicine and most of the scholars who came to Daxia for exchange and study were proficient in medicine. But they said that they could only tell what pierced him and that thing had the power of fire. They are still studying the rest."
The old woman finished her prayer, stood up and looked at the man, while looking at the right side of his waist with an expressionless face.
The man reacted immediately, his face changed, and he said immediately: "Klesin will not agree. He was very unhappy when we imprisoned Saint Ilo. If..."
When the man said this, the old woman put her hand in front of his lips, then looked at the believers around her who were washing their hands like washing their faces, and chanted "Yata Ahu."
Afterwards, the old man watched the man take out a piece of paper.
The man took it respectfully and opened it.
The text on it is written in Western language.
'We can't talk, and even our breathing has to be controlled. The slightest change in expression could make my breathing uneven, which would let Yan Yunxiao notice that you are too weak. Even if you are at the limit, you have practiced the Qi-retaining technique of the Acting Sect Leader, which is enough to restrain your breath to the eighth level, so that Yan Yunxiao and the others won't notice it. You don't have to follow us, just do what we say.'
'The great cause that the great Hu Tian wants us to accomplish does not need incompetent and burdensome people, so we killed Gu Zan, and Yi Luo needs to let him live for the time being. His 100,000 Tocharian [Agani] are of great use to us. His brother rebelled against us and is doomed to be destroyed, so Yanqi needs him as a puppet. The reason why he was imprisoned is that when he saw Gu Zan and you, he wanted to go to the Queen of Daxia to talk about this matter.'
"Don't show mercy just because we were comrades in the past. All those who oppose Hu Tian are destined to be burned to death. There is no need to be afraid of Klesin. The leader of their sect has been captured by the Mobei people. Zoroastrianism belongs to us. If you take action, Klesin will not dare to do anything to you."
"Our target is Zhao Wuxiu. If we kill him, it doesn't matter even if we all die in Daxia. All this is to dedicate ourselves to the great cause of our Zoroastrianism. Just remember that another 'Lushan' has stood up and will lead us to accomplish the great cause."
The red-haired Western man finished reading the paper in his hand, crumpled it into a ball, and looked at the two old men in front of him: "Where is that strange weapon? I think it is necessary to find it and bring it back to 'Lushan'."
Seeing the old man shook his head, the red-haired man knew that he might have arranged for other people, so he immediately said: "I will go and capture Zhao Wuxiu's daughter Zhao Huniu."
The two old men slowly turned around and continued to worship the gods.
The red-haired man placed one hand on his chest as a salute to the two of them, then pulled his hood, with murderous intent in his eyes.
The chief master of ceremonies in white had beads of sweat on his forehead, because the two old men had arrived at the main hall and were bowing to him like the other believers.
To be honest, the master of ceremonies wanted to kneel down.
After all, one of the two old men was the Dharma King who protected the religion, and the other was a respected person in the religion. To use the words of Daxia, they were two of the ten strongest people in the Western Regions! They were even more powerful in the Zoroastrianism, and now they were saluting him!
……
Zhao Huniu looked at Xia Yaomo and was immediately furious. Okay, okay, Xia Yaomo, this is how you play, right?
The first time they met, Xia Yaomo didn't even look at her, and even said directly that it was inappropriate.
If it doesn’t fit, it doesn’t fit.
But I have to say this, do you want me to say it?
Doesn't this make it seem like you dislike me?
I don't dislike you yet!
After that, Zhao Huniu noticed that Xia Yaomo talked a lot in front of other girls, and looked at other girls like a normal person, but when facing her, he didn't even look at her or say a word.
I, Zhao Huniu, am also a woman, damn, you are just like this! ?
So Zhao Huniu, who was extremely angry, wanted Xia Yaomo to take a good look at her, to prove that she was also an attractive woman, and then make Xia Yaomo fall in love with her and then dump him!
Let everyone in Beijing know that it was me, Zhao Huniu, who dumped you, not you, Xia Yaomo, who despised me!
but
Seeing Xia Yaomo's lifeless look, Zhao Huniu took a breath and pointed at the Western Region scimitar on the table again: "I am accompanying you out shopping now, so shouldn't you give me a gift?"
Xia Yaomo looked at the machete, then at Zhao Huniu, and after a moment of silence, he sighed and looked at the shop owner: "Boss, how much is it?"
The boss was a chubby Western Region merchant. He immediately said with a smile: "Fifty taels of silver. This is all made of agate crystal, and the blade is also made by Tiele craftsmen."
Xia Yaomo frowned, then looked at Zhao Huniu: "Miss Zhao, you didn't accompany me shopping, you forced me to come out, and it's too expensive, I can't afford it. If it's ten taels, I can buy it for you, after all, I only brought ten taels."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shop owner immediately said, "Today is a festival, Ah Hu, I will sell it to you for ten taels of silver."
Xia Yaomo looked at the shop owner: "Hmm?"
Chapter 645: Queen Mother: Young people just know how to have fun
The shop owner looked at Xia Yaomo with a flattering expression and picked him up with both hands.
Xia Yaomo looked surprised, but his hand had already reached for his wallet. However, Zhao Huniu glared at her boss and said, "Do you think you've been taken advantage of?"
After cursing, he turned around and grabbed Xia Yaomo's hand: "No, let's go."
The shop owner was a little anxious, and immediately shouted at the backs of the man and woman: "Five taels! Or three taels will do."
But the man and the woman didn't even turn their heads. The shop owner frowned. According to his experience, the woman should have asked for money without saying anything at that time, and the man should have paid no matter what he said. Especially since the young man looked like a sucker and was about to pay, but the woman stopped him!
Hey, it seems like they are a serious couple, not the kind of girl who is hanging around with guys. This deal was almost done.
The shop owner put his knife back on the table with a look of regret. At this time, four people came to his stall.
The shop owner saw the two men holding hands and knew that business was coming again, so he immediately asked, "Sir, do you want to buy a knife for this young man? As the saying goes, a good knife goes with a handsome man. My knife is of good quality and cheap. It was forged by the people of the Tiele tribe. The agate and amber on it are among the best. I think you two have a connection with me. Today is a festival, so two taels of silver is not expensive, right?"
Yan Ruyu looked at the shop owner with a strange expression, while Maomao looked at the shop owner with admiration.
Xia Fengxiang laughed.
Su Changan looked at the shop owner and shook his head. He was indeed a businessman. When thinking about this, Su Changan asked, "Boss, I want to ask you something."
After these words came out, the shop owner felt even more regretful. It was clear that he was not going to buy it, but he still said, "Ask."
Su Changan asked: "Do you think the couple in front look like a couple in love?"
The shop owner looked at Su Changan with a strange expression, "Aren't they a young couple?"
Su Changan was stunned for a moment, then turned back to look at Xia Fengxiang: "I told you. They look like they are in a relationship, and you still say they are not."
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to Su Changan, but he picked up a delicate hairpin on the stall, which had the style of Da Xia and also the colors of the Western Regions.
The shop owner saw it and immediately said, "Sir, you have good taste. This hairpin was carefully made by my craftsmen. It combines the styles of Daxia and the Western Regions. It took three months to make. Twenty taels, it's not expensive, right?"
After Xia Fengxiang looked up at the shop owner, he put down the hairpin and turned to look at Zhao Huniu and Xia Yaomo who were not far away. However, when he turned around, Xia Fengxiang noticed that his silly brother actually had some shyness on his face.
Are you really together?
That's not right. If Yao Mo was really dating Zhao Huniu, it shouldn't be like this.
Xia Fengxiang looked strange.
But just when Xia Fengxiang was thinking this, Su Changan inserted the hairpin into the side of Xia Fengxiang's bun.
Although she is now dressed as a man, she is good-looking in herself, and she is naturally very handsome after dressing as a man. Moreover, most men in Daxia wear flowers in their hair, so this is nothing at the moment.
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, reached out to touch it, and then looked at Su Changan in confusion.
After Su Changan helped Xia Fengxiang put it on, he smiled gently: "Well, you are worthy of being my wife, you are so beautiful."
After saying that, Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang with extremely serious eyes under the mask: "I bought it for twenty taels, don't break it."
Xia Fengxiang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help turning back, and saw the boss nodding with a smile: "Twenty taels!"
Xia Fengxiang was helpless. He really thought that I didn't hear what the boss just said, 'I'll sell it to you for fifteen cents, and then I'll sell it to you for twenty taels to make you proud' or something like that.
But Xia Fengxiang didn't expose it, he just looked at Su Changan and couldn't help but laugh, "Whatever, it's just silly, I bought it for you because I felt it was a little bit, if I didn't think it was not suitable for you, I would have bought it a long time ago, but in the end you bought it for me."
Although he thought so, Xia Fengxiang did not show it. Instead, he said, "Let's go. If we don't leave now, those two people will go far away. We still have to go to Jing Temple to see Su Linhan and Lian Wei."
Su Changan saw that his wife was very satisfied. After looking at the shop owner, he noted down the owner's location and waited for Li Heng to come back to let him contact her. After all, when the war was over, the business dealings with the Western Regions would have to be closer. Only by doing trade could Daxia make more money. Su Changan had always been thinking about this.
Before leaving, the cat gave the shop owner a thumbs up and said, "I learned it!"
Then turned and left.
The shop owner smiled and sold the three-cent hairpin for fifteen cents, which was a huge profit.
Zhao Huniu dragged Xia Yaomo away. When she walked out of the stall, she kept muttering, "Fifty taels of silver, suddenly became ten taels, who are they trying to cheat!" "Swindlers! They look like people from the five major Tiele tribes, and only they are like this." And so on.
However, after saying so much, Xia Yaomo did not respond at all. Zhao Huniu immediately stopped and turned back to glare at Xia Yaomo.
Xia Yaomo looked at him with red ears.
