Since the Accounting: A Chronicle of the Roman Khanate

Chapter 68 The Magician Young
"What's the matter?" Hearing the commotion here, a strong old man with a gray beard turned around and looked here.

Backstage, Li Xuanying also came out, followed by a bear in a robe.

"Oh, you two are here." He greeted, "What's the matter? Are you going to watch the show?"

"It's not..." Guo Kang didn't know what to say for a moment: "It's mainly because I was shocked just now."

"It's nothing." Li Xuanying said, walked over, and patted the saddle on the wild boar's back: "Nurhachi is a well-trained professional pig, don't worry."

"I'm not worried about problems with the pig..." Guo Kang hesitated to speak.

"Hey, what are you struggling with? Isn't the circus just for fun." Li Xuanying looked at the two of them and said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter if you're late. I'll treat you to a special show for you."

"Nikita!" he called, turning to the bear. "Come on, lecture!"

However, Xiong still just looked at Guo Kang and Zhu Wenkui curiously, without any reaction.

"It won't work like this, it doesn't understand, sir." The old man with a gray beard next to him spoke Greek with a strong accent.He came over, stood opposite the bear, pointed to a box in the middle of the field, and said in a deliberately elongated exaggerated tone: "Nikita, give a speech!"

Upon hearing the order, the bear immediately stood up on both feet, rubbed its paws, then swaggered towards the box and climbed up.Afterwards, without continuing to order, it stood up straight, imitating the actions of Greek politicians, screaming and gesticulating with its paws. It looked quite charming and made people laugh.

"This is what I said before, the bear named Nikita." Guo Kang regained his strength and introduced to Zhu Wenkui, "This is Ivan the animal trainer."

"Nikita is very smart and good at imitating Greek politicians. Sometimes, I forget that he is just a bear." Ivan said with a smile: "However, you have to give him the Greek password before he can enter the state."

Several people watched the performance cheerfully, and Jeanna also drove the wild boar over.However, Nikita performed for a while, then stopped again, lazily motionless.

"Mr. Nikita needs encouragement." Old Ivan told everyone: "Come on, please applaud him!"

Although I don't know why Mr. Xiong still has such a need, old Ivan is very good at mobilizing the atmosphere, and Guo Kang still applauds with great interest.

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

"Hum!"

The few spectators also cheered.

This time, Nikita really came to the spirit.It stood up straight again, gestured with one paw in mid-air, and pressed the other paw on its chest, howled, looked around everyone, and changed its movements from time to time.Everyone laughed, and Nikita looked even more energetic.

After a while, it made a bowing motion.Old Ivan told everyone that the show was over.But Nikita still stood on the box and did not leave, as if waiting for something.

Old Ivan walked over, stretched out his hand, shook its paw, picked up a grass ring from the side, and put it on its head.Only then did Nikita let out a low growl, climbed out of the box in satisfaction, and walked back to the backstage.

It wasn't the first time for Rang Na and Li Xuanying to watch it, but they still laughed together.Zhu Wenkui tried to maintain his expression at the beginning, but he couldn't hold back in the end, and laughed along with them.

"Now you can understand why the soldiers like it." Guo Kang said cheerfully.

"I think it can play the ancient Greek officials in the comedy, better than those in the troupe." Li Xuanying is also very happy: "The only shortcoming is that he can't recite the lines and can't say meaningful words. "

"It's okay. If the news about the Ming Dynasty I heard before is similar, then it may not be a shortcoming." Jeanna interjected: "Isn't there a shortage of people to visit Ming Dynasty? I even think that Kita will do."

"But Nikita can't speak human language, it's just a show." Guo Kang said back.

"It's okay. It is said that the civil servants of the Ministry of Rites can only perform, and never speak meaningful human words." Jean Na said.

"..." Guo Kang and Zhu Wenkui were speechless for a while.

"Humph!" Nurhachi said.

"Okay, let's stop here today." Li Xuanying stood up and smoothed things over.He looked around and found that Rianna didn't seem to have had enough fun, so he said to old Ivan: "Let's leave the chores here to other people. Let's take Nurhachi and go out to play with the little princess."

Old Ivan nodded, left the matter to the assistant, fed the wild boar a few bran, and brought it over again.Rang Na wanted to ride again, but Zhu Wenkui firmly disagreed, saying that it would be too embarrassing to continue like this in front of everyone.

"Actually, you don't need to be so particular about it." Guo Kang persuaded: "There are too many rules in different places. If you follow them all, I'm afraid you won't be able to do anything."

"That's right. She was born in France, and she's a relative of the French king. She's considered a French nobleman. But according to the rules there, it's illegal for a little girl to wear trousers, let alone riding a horse and practicing guns like this every day." Li Xuanying pointed out : "So, don't worry about it so much. Let's treat it as a holiday today, let the little girl have fun."

Zhu Wenkui had no choice but to nod, expressing his resignation.

Guo Kang asked old Ivan to lead the pig and follow them to the other side of the training ground.

"What are you going to see?" Li Xuanying asked.

"Let's go and have a look at the chariot." Guo Kang said, "There are also a lot of iron and wooden equipment over there, the prince should be interested. It just so happens that the old mercenaries recommended by Wu Wanggang are also there, so you can check the progress." how's it going."

"Oh?" Zhu Wenkui was really interested, and nodded, expressing that he was really happy.

The camp of the chariot is nearby, and it will be there soon.

"Lao Yang! The prince is here, come out and introduce him!" Guo Kang shouted.

A young man in priestly clothes and a one-eyed middle-aged man came out from behind several large cars and bowed to them.

"This is Brother Zelik, our translator." Guo Kang introduced: "That is Captain Jan Jeska, the commander of the mercenaries. But he doesn't know Greek yet, and needs Zelik Mr. help relay."

Jie Shika and Zhu Wenkui met once, but they only passed on Zhu Yunqi's letter, and they didn't talk much.And Zhu Rangna, they don't know each other at all.After the introduction, he said hello to the siblings, and looked at Guo Kang again, as if he wanted to ask what he needed to do.

"Let me introduce the general situation first, and then, you take the prince to visit the weapons and ordnance here." Guo Kang continued: "The prince has dabbled in this area a lot, and I plan to let him supervise the workshop, which will also involve Find the equipment you need. For specific questions, you can ask him for more instructions and communicate with him later.”

He was worried that, in the fashion of the Ming Dynasty, directly saying that Zhu Wenkui would be the leader of the blacksmith would make him resist, so he kept emphasizing "involvement" and "supervision" to show that he had other serious identities, not just a mere craftsman .

But at the moment, he may be thinking too much.Surprisingly, Zhu Wenkui didn't put on airs at all. Instead, he was very interested and had no intention of objecting.

"By the way, son, this old Yang is also a powerful person." Taking advantage of Zelik's translation for Jessica, Guo Kang whispered to Zhu Wenkui: "If he needs anything, please help him as much as possible. This person is an experienced veteran, and his opinions will not be divorced from reality, so it should not be a problem."

"Do you know him?" Zhu Wenkui asked curiously, "In my father's letter, I didn't detail his achievements."

"I just heard about it from other places." Guo Kang had no choice but to say mysteriously: "This man has won several miraculous victories, so he is called a rare genius commander by the locals. Known as... uh, 'Magician Yang'. It's only because of the civil strife in Shinra that they're in a state of desperation, so they come here. In short, we must keep this talent well."

"I understand." Although Zhu Wenkui still didn't understand, he still nodded seriously and agreed.
