Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 934
Pearl River Estuary in Guangzhou.

Tuen Mun Jun Town, Bao'an County, Naval Military Port.

In the dark of night, among the trees under the Tuen Mun Mountain behind the barracks, in the cold wind of early spring, Abu Din, with only one hand, was leaning on a tree solemnly.Next to him was the young Darius, chewing betel nuts, but his eyes were like nighthawks, constantly looking around and observing.

Under the silent night, there were a few bird calls from the depths of the woods from time to time.

"It's almost dawn, why hasn't the agreed connector arrived yet?" Darius was a little impatient, he glanced at his father leaning on the tree, but the one-armed Abdin was still as quiet as usual, as if he had fallen asleep .

The dozen or so men squatting on the ground behind them also looked restless and very nervous.

"What's the hurry, I will come if I promise."

"And what if they don't come?"

"Then we'll go back and wait for news."

As a Persian, Abudin is too old to be confused, half of his life has passed, he has experienced too many things, and even greater storms have already been experienced, and now he is just waiting for someone.

He used to be a blacksmith in the Sasanian noble territory of Persia. He possessed superb forging technology and could forge exquisite Uzi steel knives. After years of wars in Persia, his lord died in the war, and he was also unfortunate. Captured by the Eastern Roman Army.

After being brought to Constantinople, he still resumed his old business and continued to forge weapons. Later, he followed Emperor Heraclius to expedition to Persia across the sea with the Eastern Roman Army.During a march, he was attacked and captured by a group of Bedouin nomadic horse thieves on the Arabian Peninsula, and finally became a slave.

After several twists and turns, he was finally sold to work on a sea merchant's ship.

In this way, he came all the way to the east with the sea boat, first to Tianzhu, then to the Lion Kingdom, then Gan Tuoli, Funan, Linyi, all the way to Jiaozhou and Guangzhou.

Later, he was presented to the Guangming Cult by his master...
Abudin's experience is too rich. When Qin Lang suppressed the Guangming Sect, Abudin also suffered a catastrophe. One of his arms was cut off.

Fortunately, he was only a blacksmith who forged swords for the Guangming Cult. This identity saved his life, and it was not the first time he saved his life. He was saved several times because of his skills.

After his severed arm was healed, most of his exquisite knife forging skills were lost.

He used to pessimistically thought that without an arm, he would be worthless.Unexpectedly, a few years later, I would still get a bigger opportunity.

He was summoned by the Duke of Wei. After seeing his forging skills, he not only freed him from slavery, but also returned him to freedom, and even hired him as a senior craftsman. The house of Fanfang, Guangzhou.

His wife and children were bought back and returned to him, and the family was reunited.

For more than a year, he has been staying in Guangzhou as a senior Uzi swordsmith. Not long ago, Duke Wei summoned him again and gave him an important task.

Taking a group of Persian craftsmen, to be precise, the Persian sword forging and armor craftsmen who used to be in the Eagle's Nest of the Guangming Sect, took them to escape from Guangzhou and fled to the distant and unfamiliar Goguryian city in Liaodong in the north.

Abdin didn't want to take this task, but he had no choice.

Although he and his family, as well as those craftsmen of similar status, have regained their freedom, they are actually unable to leave Guangzhou.

And Wei Guogong gave them generous rewards this time. As long as they complete the task, in addition to heavy rewards, they will also be given real freedom. Even if they want to return to their hometown in Persia, they will also arrange a boat for them to take them back.

Abudin has been in Lingnan for more than ten years, even if he has stayed in Guangzhou for ten years. He has a wife and children here, and he is used to everything here. He does not want to go back to Persia, where wars are raging, turmoil, poverty and disease. go home.

He put forward a condition for Qin Lang, if he completes the task, he hopes to let his son join the Datang South Sea Navy, even if he can be a soldier in the naval camp of the Tuen Mun Army Town.

Being a soldier of the Tang Dynasty has always been the dream of his son Darius. The young son believes that this can completely change their embarrassing identities, and can truly integrate into the Tang Dynasty, and even make contributions in the Tang Dynasty.My son heard that in Chang'an, the capital of the empire, there are countless barbarians living together with the Han people, and even many people from other races have been appointed officials and titles.

He also wants to go to Chang'an in the future and become a general of the Tang Dynasty.

Abdin felt that his son was too naive, but since Wei Guogong could not refuse the mission, he would fight for his son once.

Originally, he didn't intend to bring his son with him, but after his son knew about it, he insisted on going with him, thinking that this was a great opportunity to make contributions that he had been pursuing.

A group of 13 people, Abra and his father are both knife forgers, there are several craftsmen who are also forging weapons, and there are also craftsmen who can make chain mail, and even can build cities and make siege equipment Most of these people have similar backgrounds and experiences as Abdin.

Persian artisans in exile from the Hundred Years' War between the Persian Sasanians and the Eastern Romans.

Darius was a little bored and impatient with waiting, "Grandfather, I heard that the Duke of Wei has a concubine named Sirin, who also came from Persia, and it is said that she is the daughter of a governor of Khorasan. "

"So what?" Abdin was not interested in this. The Persian Sassanian Dynasty was once glorious, but more time was in the midst of war and turmoil. It fought with the Eastern Romans for a hundred years, and the Sassanian Dynasty itself also fought internally. constantly.

Especially in recent years, the turmoil in Persia has become more serious. It is not uncommon for the emperor's daughter to live in a foreign land, let alone the governor's daughter.

Sometimes, several self-proclaimed emperors appeared on the land of Persia at the same time. You and the emperor also called themselves the king of kings, so you competed and attacked each other. Some people won and others lost.The winner is also a tragic victory, and the loser will be doomed, not to mention the death and reputation, and even the family's wife and children will not be able to save.

The emperors of Persia and Rome also often made marriages. If they couldn't win, they would send the princess to accompany them with gold coins and truce with their relatives. When their strength recovered, they might lead troops to kill them again.

After the Roman emperor was killed, Heraclius, the son of the governor, finally quelled the rebellion and was crowned emperor in Constantinople. The Persian emperor immediately took revenge on his father-in-law and supported a man who claimed to be his brother-in-law. He became the emperor of Rome, and then led the Persian army to go to Rome mightily.

At that time, the old emperor Kusi had just succeeded to the throne and was rebelled by his generals. He was forced to flee to Rome and asked to marry a Roman princess. Then he signed a bunch of land cession treaties with the Roman emperor's father-in-law, in exchange for a Roman reinforcement, and sent him back to the country for restoration. .

This is the status quo of the two western empires. The emperors often don't care about themselves, how can they care about the princess?The local governors were replaced frequently. It was not uncommon for countless nobles to go bankrupt. It was not uncommon for a lady governor whose family was in decline to become a slave in the hands of merchants and brought to the Eastern Tang Dynasty for sale.

Young women, young and beautiful women, young and beautiful, and once noble women, are always a rare commodity in the hands of slave traders.

In contrast, the standards for male slaves are completely different. Young and strong slaves are more valuable, but if they have a skilled craftsman, even if they are no longer young, they are still more valuable.

Beautiful women and skilled craftsmen are still valuable even if they become slaves, so they will be resold by slave owners and completely reduced to a commodity.

That Princess Xilin is pitiful. As the governor's daughter, her family fell into poverty, her father died, and her family went bankrupt. In the end, she was inevitably reduced to a slave and sold to the east by thousands of miles.

But she was lucky again, she was lucky enough to meet a distinguished buyer, a man who treated her like a treasure.From now on, I no longer have to worry about being dragged out to be displayed and resold like goods, no longer have to endure all kinds of humiliation, and I don’t have to worry all day long. I live a stable and prosperous life, and even a dignified life.

As long as a woman meets a good man, she can change her life's destiny.

But men are different.

I can count myself lucky, at least compared to those Persian compatriots who had their heads cut off, their ears cut off, and then stuck on the roadside pickets to show their prestige.

Not to mention that the Guangming leader who was once high in their hearts, even the king of kings, died in an extremely miserable manner.

He is still alive, and his family is still together. Although he was separated for a short time, his wife and daughter were sold to others, and they suffered humiliation, they all came back after all. In this world, this is the best result.

"Grandpa, you said we just ran to Liaodong like this, can those Goguryeo people trust us?"

Abdin came back to his senses, "As long as we show our forging technology, the Goguryeo people will treat us as guests."

Although he didn't quite understand Wei Guogong's plan, he still felt that Wei Guogong chose them to vote for Goguryeo. They were a group of Persian barbarians who were definitely not from the Tang Dynasty, and they fled from Guangzhou. Yes, they were still members of the Guangming sect before, so it makes perfect sense why they fled to Goguryeo.

And with superb technology in hand, there is no need to worry that the Goguryeo people will not take them in when they get there.

The Duke of Wei once regarded the forging technology as a treasure. Would the Goguryeo people not know the goods?
The young Darius regarded the Duke of Wei as an idol, and felt that the young Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty was iron-blooded and extremely domineering, which made him admire and respect him very much.He didn't hesitate to accept Wei Gong's mission.Although I can't figure it out at all, which game this is playing.

A few nighthawk calls sounded, slightly different from the usual ones.

Abdin stood up straight, his eyes alert.

"Get up, the connector is here!"

After matching the joint code with bird language, someone walked into the woods. The person came with a soft-footed headband, a leather belt around his waist, a horizontal knife on his waist, and a short three-pronged fork on the other side.

Under the moonlight, a purple scar on the man's face was particularly obvious.

"I'm called the Purple Faced Heavenly King, I've been waiting for a long time!"

Abdin stepped forward, "Abudin, the owner of the Eagle's Nest Knife Workshop of the Guangming Cult, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
