Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 960 Old Mother

Suddenly, Woodworth stood up and drew out a long sword specially made for him by the first-class swordsmith of Tang Dynasty.

This is a seven-foot-long two-handed epee. This sword is unique and represents his identity and pride as an aristocrat of the Tang Dynasty.

"I... Lionwood!"

The terrifying roar caused the sticks in the hands of the middle-aged people in countless villages to fall to the ground involuntarily. When they were young, they followed Wood to fight to protect their homes.

They fought the Vikings, they fought the Celts from the Isle of Ireland, they fought the Visigoths, they fought the Franks, they fought the Angles.

The women and children who were about to escape stopped and started to walk back.

An old woman was supported by several young people and walked slowly in front of Wood Wally. She was Wood Wally's mother, who gave birth to Wood Wally in her teens. She is not yet 60 years old, but Looks very old.

At this time, Woodworth remembered a line from a Tang poem he learned when he was learning Chinese.

This poem seems to have been written by that Concubine Liu, but Concubine Liu has always said that he copied it, but no one knows who copied it and where it was copied from.

All this is unimportant, what is important is that there is a sentence in it that makes Wood Waley burst into tears at this time.

Gaotangmingjing has white hair in sorrow, and the morning is like blue silk and snow in the evening.

How does the Tang people explain these two sentences? Wood doesn’t care. His level of Chinese learning is based on his own understanding. His mother has gray hair in the mirror. It happened to be a morning when he was taken away, and it happened to be evening .

When she left, my mother still had brown-red hair, but now it was as white as snow.

Woodward knelt down in front of his mother with a big Chinese ceremony, thinking about many things to say along the way, but at this moment he couldn't say a word.

Thinking that when the capital of Saracen was attacked, Wood charged forward, and he didn't have a trace of fear.

At this time, he was terrified of death.

He was afraid that if he came back a few years later, he might never see his mother again.

The mother and son cried in each other's arms, and the other people who were alive around Wood from this village were also crying.

It was completely dark, and a marching cauldron was set up outside the village.

Datang Marching No.1 dish, pork vermicelli stewed with sauerkraut.Then came the big pot of white rice.

Oats and rice, the main crops in Woodward's hometown, are very unfamiliar to them.

"Hello Datang, although I haven't been to Datang yet, the people of Datang are confident. They believe that where the sun shines, no one can defeat the mighty Datang no matter which clan or country. People of Datang don't like greedy nobles , No matter where they attack, they will not harm civilians, nor will they capture civilians as slaves."

Wood began to talk about Datang in his heart.

"I heard that the city wall of Chang'an City is as high as a mountain. The Royal Legion of Chang'an City guards it. There are 100 million people living there. Everyone has silk to wear, and everyone can eat meat every day. Datang People in Chang'an will not be troubled by hunger and cold, and they never worry about the flames of war."

Wood's mother suddenly asked: "Son, have you become a nobleman?"

"Yes, mother. From slave to gladiator, from gladiator to warrior, from warrior to general, and now I am a nobleman."

Wood had his whole outfit brought.

Among them are the military uniforms of the Tang Dynasty, wartime armor, light armor for ceremonies, banquet uniforms, tea party casual clothes, and travel casual clothes.

Some people expressed their incomprehension: "One person needs so many clothes?"

Wood laughed. He remembered that Duke Willow once joked that poverty limits wisdom and poverty limits vision.

"I'm Baron Bran, because we're called Bran here." Woodworthy said proudly.

Woodward had changed into his uniform.

Datang's military uniforms are quite handsome, a collection of Tang style, Roman style, and Han style, and then military trousers, leather boots, etc.With gorgeous decoration, the two rows of shiny copper buttons alone are a valuable asset for the North Island of Britain at this time, because no one here can make such beautiful buttons.

Everyone thinks it's gold.

"These clothes are divided into spring and autumn, summer, and winter in the Tang Dynasty." While explaining gorgeously, Wood hung up a short cape with the help of his companions, a red wool soft cape with purple borders.

Wood's mother couldn't close her mouth with a smile. She hadn't seen any big shots, and her son was already an aristocrat, which made her happy.

"I even brought a present!"

What is silk?
The Romans understood it, the Visigoths understood it, even the Duke of Edinburgh understood it.

But the people in this village don't understand, they don't know what silk is at all, and only a few people have heard of it.

Compared with silk and pearls.

These people in Wood's hometown are more interested in composting to increase food production, and grazing sheep on the vast grasslands of Scotland, which is a hundred times more precious than silk.

Two days later, the Duke of Edin came here with his guard.

The Duke of Edin must at least know who came to the area under his control, and who did not visit his lord first.

At this time in the British Isles, there are seven real kingdoms in the middle and south, and they are constantly fighting, annexing, marrying or cheating.

As one of the few dukes with castles in the north, the Duke of Edinburgh has doubled his strength after getting help from the Visigoths, and he hopes that he will become a great king.

Of course, the premise is to conquer the countless tribes in the north of Britannia first.

The Duke of Edin brought 800 men over. Wood didn't even wear armor, and more than half of his subordinates didn't wear their own armor. Only forty young soldiers put on armor and were fully armed.

"I, Lion Wood." Wood pointed confidently at Duke Edinburgh: "You, my former enemy. Weak enemy, in my eyes you are not an enemy at all, you are just a stone house in a remote area With that little poor fortune, the little man who has not seen the world."

"You, are you still alive?" Duke Edin was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse.

Woodworthy didn't intend to reply, and with a light wave of his hand, a hundred steel crossbows aimed at Duke Edinburgh.

With only thirty steps away, Datang's steel crossbow could shoot through two unarmored men. Just when Wood was about to order an attack, Duke Edin faltered.

"I, I am willing to compensate."

"No need..." Woodworthy signaled everyone to be vigilant, and turned around to look at the smoke pillars rising from the direction of the bay. The green smoke pillars meant that they were not enemies, but guests.

"There are guests coming from the sea." Wood said to himself, then turned to Duke Edin and said, "You go, I just go home and take a look. Before I get the military order, I won't Will attack anyone at will. But anyone who dares to attack me will definitely feel my anger."
