The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 456 Shangzhou 3
"Swear to the death to complete the task." Lu Anzheng said resolutely.

"Okay." Yao Yangyun nodded in satisfaction.Then he opened the cabinet and took out a box from it. After opening it, there was a huge map inside.

"This is..." Looking at the map, Lu Anzheng showed a shocked expression.

"This is the whole map of the universe, the real appearance of the world we live in..." Yao Yangyun said in a deep voice.

"I can't believe who drew this picture." Lu Anzheng said in a raving voice.

Yao Yangyun said: "Zixiaoguan Chen Zhenren, this time we came here for one purpose to be related to him. Well, put away your surprise, the business is important."

Lu An said seriously, "Say it."

Yao Yangyun said seriously: "You should have heard the legend about Zhenren Chen, right?"

Lu Anzheng said: "I have heard that there are many legends about him, and some people say that the changes in Datang over the years are all created by him."

"How is this possible? How old is he? Besides, how can one person do this? It must be the joint efforts of all the people in the DPRK and China."

A smile appeared on the corner of Yao Yangyun's mouth, and he said, "Then what if I tell you that the rumors are all true?"

"What?" Lu An was dumbfounded, and said, "Stop joking at this time."

Yao Yangyun said: "It's about this time, am I going to joke with you?"

Lu Anzheng said in disbelief: "How is this possible, he..."

Yao Yangyun said: "There is someone behind him. It is rumored that behind him is a powerful family that has been passed down for hundreds of years."

"The things he took out are the achievements of his family for hundreds of years, including the map in front of you."

Seeing that he was so sure, Lu Anzheng said suspiciously: "No, if his family is so powerful, why...well, you understand what I mean."

Yao Yangyun said: "No one can explain the reason. His own reason is that their family hopes to let Chinese civilization go out and become the real master of the world."

"So they put all their energy into exploring the world."

Lu Anzheng shook his head again and again and said, "How is this possible? I believe that there are selfless people in the world, but every family is like this. I don't believe it."

Yao Yangyun said: "I don't believe it either, no one believes it. But before there is no evidence, is there any other choice besides believing?"

Lu Anzheng said: "It's true that there are no more, only what he says is what he says."

Speaking of this, he suddenly came to his senses and said, "The purpose of your trip is not to find the Chen family, is it? Is their family in Shangzhou?"

"I said, why do you keep ghosting... Well, it's mysterious, so that's how it is."

Yao Yangyun shook his head and said, "No one knows where their family is, and so far no clues have been found."

"But since he can show the whole map of the universe, his family must have been here. The purpose of my trip is to track down this clue."

"See if we can find traces of their presence, if we can find people from their family..."

Lu Anzheng said suddenly: "No, it's best not to find people from their family, I don't want to meet them."

Yao Yangyun was silent for a while, and then said: "You are right, as long as you find clues, it is best not to meet each other."

"If I die, you can continue to search, it doesn't matter whether you can find it or not, just follow the original plan."

The original plan was to explore the road a little bit first, collect good seeds, and then return to Datang.

Lu Anzheng said solemnly: "Okay, I understand."

In fact, he was not going to pursue it, it was too dangerous.

This family just walked out of a ten-year-old boy, and it took five or six years to build Datang into this appearance.

I really can't imagine how powerful this family is.

In this case, tracking down other people's traces is almost like sending them to death.

If you plunge into someone's lair, you will really cry.

It's fine for others not to have evil thoughts, but if they have any other plans, they can't escape.

He was not a royal secret agent, and no one had told him anything before he set off, so naturally he would not take risks just because of Yao Yangyun's few words.

He will take Yao Yangyun's words back as promised, that's all.

……

The old horse who came into contact with the natives soon brought back good news, and the group of natives were willing to make a deal with them.

What made Yao Yangyun even more happy was that the tribe he asked about specifically had both types of crops.

After receiving the news, Yao Yangyun immediately made a decision. He wanted to complete the transaction in person, which was the last explanation for himself from the beginning to the end.

Lu Anzheng knew what he was thinking, so he didn't stop him. He just personally arranged everything for him to travel.

He also gave Lao Ma and Lao Niu a death order to protect Yao Yangyun. If something happens to him, you two should not come back.

Although they didn't know why Lu Anzheng became so strict, the two of them still accepted orders solemnly.

At the appointed time, a group of more than a hundred people came to a beach near the river, which was the place where they first discovered the natives.

The natives were also very punctual, and a man who looked like a leader came here with hundreds of people.

After that, the large troops of both sides stayed in the distance, and the leader brought a few guards to the center with the items that needed to be traded.

When Yao Yangyun saw the khaki lump the size of a basket of eggs with his own eyes, tears welled up in Yao Yangyun's eyes.

Potatoes, exactly as pictured in the picture book, can't be wrong.

This was one of the reasons he came to Shangzhou, and he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes before he died.

Die without regret, die without regret.

He was originally suffering from malaria, but under great joy and sorrow, he only felt his eyes go dark, and he fell headfirst on the beach.

When the incident happened so suddenly, the people protecting Yao Yangyun were startled.

The old horse rushed over to support him, and the other guards drew their swords to protect the front.

The native who wanted to come over to check the situation suddenly jumped up and raised his hands to indicate that he did not have any malicious intentions.

The old cow, who was waiting with a large army in the distance, didn't know what happened.

But seeing Yao Yangyun fall to the ground for no reason, and then the people who guarded him drew their swords. They thought they were being plotted against, and immediately rushed up with them.

"Kill..." The angry shouts frightened the natives so pale that they ran back, rolling and crawling.

The old horse unwrapped the cloth wrapped around Yao Yangyun's head, and saw that his face was pale and sweat was running down his head, so he quickly took out the water bag to feed him.

Yao Yangyun didn't pass out, he just lost his strength, and his expression improved a lot after drinking saliva.

Hearing the killing cry, he knew that the old cow had misunderstood, and quickly asked the old horse to stop him.

The old horse is not stupid, and he is not bad at being a captain.

Seeing Yao Yangyun's state, he could guess what was going on, but he would rather Yao Yangyun was plotted against, that would still save him, if it was really malaria...

I can't even imagine the consequences.

However, he obediently stood up to stop Lao Niu and motioned him to retreat.

Although the old cow was a little puzzled, he obediently retreated into the distance.

Seeing this situation, the native leader who had already run far away also stopped and watched from a distance.

After resting for a while to recover, Yao Yangyun looked at the gloomy old horse.

I also guessed that the other party saw what kind of disease I had, squeezed out a smile and said in relief:

"It's okay, life and death are determined by wealth and honor, and the underground brothers may be bullied if they are not led. I will go down and look after them for the big guys."

Hearing this, the scene of getting along along the way appeared in the old horse's mind, and his eyes immediately turned red: "Captain, you..."

"Why are you crying, man?" Yao Yangyun said with a smile:

"I've already talked to Captain Lu, he will take you back to your hometown, don't worry."

"Go, call the native leader back, and we will return home after the transaction is completed."

"Okay, go home." The old horse rubbed his eyes and said in a trembling voice.

Then he took a few steps forward and bowed solemnly to the native leader to express his apology.

Although there is a language barrier between the two sides, sign language is the only best way to ignore language differences and allow people all over the world to communicate without barriers.

For example, bowing has the meaning of saluting and apologizing in any civilization.

Sure enough, seeing him apologizing, the native leader hesitated for a while, then walked over again.

When he came over and Yao Yangyun bowed again to express his apology, the native leader was completely relieved.

In fact, he roughly knew what was going on. The leader of the other party fainted suddenly, so that the other party had a misunderstanding.

Although he was taken aback, but the other party's attitude was sincere, and he didn't want to hold on to it.

What's more, he really wanted what was in the hands of these outsiders.

The products brought by the natives were a basket of potatoes and a bag of rubber tree seeds, and a bag of cotton for planting.

Yao Yangyun originally wanted to exchange silk or other items with the other party, which are hard currency in most places.

However, what he didn't expect was that the leader of the tribe in front of him actually refused, pointing to the sword in their hands and making gestures.

The meaning is obvious, they want weapons.

Yao Yangyun hesitated. There was a lack of metal on Shangzhou, which was in line with what Chen Jingke said.

For Datang, this is really great.

When they traded with the natives along the way, they would rather give more things than give the other party a weapon, for fear that the weapon would come to Datang one day.

Although a few weapons are basically equivalent to none for Datang's army armed to the teeth, but it is better not to give weapons if you can.

But the few seeds in front of him are what he needs most, the key is that his body is no longer able to cope.

If you miss this opportunity, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the end of the long-distance voyage fleet to come to pick it up.

It will take several years to go back and forth. It is unknown how many innocent lives can be saved in such a long time.

Or... Rob?
It was too easy to use their weapons, and the natives on the opposite side had no power to fight back.

But this idea was immediately dispelled. The principle of Datang Navigation is that if the other party has no malicious intentions, it must not be the first to attack.

Once the hatred remains, it will bring a lot of unnecessary troubles to the subsequent rule.

As a forerunner, you cannot block the way of the latecomers.

So along the way, they have maintained a good relationship with all the natives they encountered.

In fact, this rule was formulated by Chen Jingke, and it was unanimously approved by the monarch and his ministers.

When white people massacred Indians in the Americas, it was because the skin colors of the two sides were different, and the proud white people did not regard yellow people as human beings.

Chen Jingke is different. Datang and Indians are yellow-skinned, so they have a sense of identity innately.

When Datang establishes a feudal state on this land in the future, it is the best way to absorb the local aborigines to enrich the population and speed up the construction of the feudal state.

Huaxia has an overwhelming advantage over them in terms of civilization, and it is entirely possible to try to assimilate them culturally.

What's more, there is also the historical fact that the immigrants of the Shang Dynasty migrated to Shangzhou, and the two sides have an additional layer of relationship.

Closer to home.

The native leader saw that Yao Yangyun was unwilling to trade with them with weapons, rolled his eyes and suddenly reminded Yao Yangyun, and then gestured with both hands.

He covered his head first as if he was having a headache, then pointed to Yao Yangyun, and put his hands together to his mouth as if drinking water.

Finally, he made a posture of holding his head high, and hammered his chest with his fist.

Yao Yangyun was puzzled, what is this person talking about?
Seeing that he didn't understand, the native leader was a little anxious, covered his head with one hand again and shook his head in a dizzy state.

He pointed to Yao Yangyun again, put his hands together to his mouth, and finally hammered his chest.

A flash of inspiration flashed in Yao Yangyun's mind, and he immediately thought of a possibility, which made his excited heart beating wildly.

Could it be that this native said he could cure malaria?

Reason told him he couldn't believe it.

The medicine of Chinese civilization is so advanced, but it is still troubled by malaria for thousands of years. How could this group of natives understand the treatment method.

But the instinct to survive makes him willing to trust the other party, after all, no one wants to die.

Besides, a dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor, just in case.

So he suppressed his excitement and gestured to the native leader.

If the other party can cure his malaria, he agrees to give the other party five steel knives.

One is to express gratitude, and the other is to use it as a trading item.

After knowing what Yao Yangyun meant, the native leader was also very happy. He said yes to the people around him, and then ran back when he saw that person.

About an hour later, the man came back sweating all over with a small bag in his hand.

The native leader took the bag, took out a palm-sized piece of bark from it, and gestured to Yao Yangyun to put it in a pot and boil it for drinking.

Yao Yangyun didn't feel that the other party was playing tricks on him because of this. After all, the medicine used by Datang to treat malaria was the weeds on the side of the road. It is not surprising that the other party used bark to treat malaria.

He took the bark and made an appointment with the other party to trade here two days later. If he recovered from his illness, he would give the other party a weapon. If he was not recovered, he could only trade with the mirror.

The native leader didn't suspect that he would renege on the appointment, so he readily agreed.

After returning to the boat, Yao Yangyun immediately called the doctor over and handed him the bark.

The doctor was very excited when he heard that this thing could cure malaria.

If this is true, it would be a great medical discovery.

Although Datang already had Artemisia annua, no one would dislike this kind of special medicine.

Immediately take out a piece of bark and start boiling medicine.

He didn't know how to cook this kind of bark, so he could only boil two bowls of water into one bowl according to the requirements of traditional Chinese medicine.

Of course, I will definitely find animals to test whether the medicine is poisonous, is it necessary to guard against people?

Fortunately, there were live prey in the kitchen, so I found one and fed it to a bowl.

After waiting for an hour to see that the prey was still alive and kicking, he was relieved to give it to Yao Yangyun.

After taking the medicine, Yao Yangyun went back to rest, but the others showed no intention of resting at all.

At this stage, the news that he had malaria could no longer be kept from anyone, and everyone was very worried.

Although Yao Yangyun tried his best to conceal it, everyone basically knew by now that Huanghao was gone.

This is one of the reasons why morale continued to be low before.

Yao Yangyun has malaria but there is no cure for it, which further proves this point.

Fortunately, the medicine was obtained from the natives, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

But no one knows whether the medicine works or not, so everyone naturally has no intention of playing.

They all stared at Yao Yangyun's cabin, waiting for the result of the 'judgment'.
