The bad emperor of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 218: Insufficient money

After walking around the bee farm with Aina.Guo Nuan went to the inn and treated her to a big plate of chicken.This is a specialty of the Western Regions.Guo Nuan tasted a few pieces and also enjoyed it.

But ask Ina after dinner.Guo Nuan returned to his own wing in the temple.He just realized a very important problem.People are in other villages.In addition to losing the company of the most important relatives and friends in my hometown.This is beyond worrying.When wandering around the world, a penny stumps the hero's embarrassment.He took out his empty sleeves.He was a little dumbfounded.There are half a tael of silver left.

"Hehe. Sure enough, I am used to being the young master of a rich family in Chang'an. He spends money lavishly. He doesn't plan carefully at all." Guo Nuan sighed.The innocent smile of the book boy Afu popped out of his thoughts.

"It's a pity. Ah Fu is no longer by my side. If I have him to take care of my daily life, even in the miserable low-paying military camp in Shuofang, I can live a very nourishing life." Guo Nuan shook her head.He put Ah Fu.Fatty's memories quickly disappeared from his mind.Otherwise, he worried that he would think more and more.The mind opened the floodgates.The torrent of missing will flow unstoppably.Then.Shengping wife.Daughter Guo Xiang.My mother, Mrs. Wang... Figures popped out of my mind one by one.

Guo Nuan is temporarily living in a temple in the small town of Niya.Although the leisurely and pleasant small town life here makes him feel very comfortable.But he was still worried about Torma.Although he went to the trading market from time to time to ask many businessmen who were traveling in the desert.But the merchants said they had never seen a young Tibetan woman in the desert.Not to mention the stunning Tibetan woman described by Guo Nuan.Of course, about the gang of horse bandits who hijacked Torma.In particular, there is no trace of the leader of Scarface.This undoubtedly made Guo Nuan's journey of finding people more difficult.

Guo Nuan every morning after practicing.He developed the habit of going to the trading market with the largest traffic in other places to inquire about Doma's news.Although every time I return to the temple in despair.But the next day he would pick himself up again and ask the merchants tirelessly with anticipation.

Guo Nuan decided to leave alone after staying in Niya for half a month.He is going to go deep into various tribes in the Western Regions to find Duoma.In addition to recovering to the best state of my physique during this half month to deal with the harsh environment of the Western Regions and the robbers along the way.Protected from tribal wars.Another important thing for him is to raise enough money to support a long trek.

The fifth day of the first lunar month.You can’t feel too strong the Spring Festival atmosphere in a foreign land.Guo Nuan suffers from insomnia on New Year's Eve.The night was silent.The top of the tree on the moon.It looked very lonely.The scene at night just corresponds to Li Bai's poem "Moonlight in front of the bed. Bow your head and think about your hometown".This time and this scene.faintly sad.Sleepless alone.Guo Nuan rested her arms behind her head.Thinking of Shengping far away in Chang'an... the new year begins before dawn.Guo Nuan, who was extremely exhausted and in a daze for a short time, woke up from a deep sleep.He found that the pillow was soaked with a few lines of tears that had not yet evaporated.

Four or five days have passed since Chinese New Year.All the money on Guo Nuan's body was spent.Although the eminent monk in the temple became a friend of Wangnian.The temple provided him with accommodation free of charge.But he thought that he could not rely on others during the journey in the future.How can it be done without entrapment.He reluctantly prepared to take his golden dagger to the weapon shop and sell it in exchange for money and food.However, the people in the weapon shop knew the value of this golden dagger.But the cunning profiteer lowered the price of the dagger, which was originally worth 150 gold coins, to [-] gold coins.Guo Nuanrao ran back and forth to five or six weapon pawnshops in the small town.Unfortunately, the highest price was no more than two hundred.What's even more infuriating is that some merchants lowered the price by fifty gold coins.The gold plating on this dagger is more than the weight of fifty gold coins.Plus hundreds of small brilliant diamonds inlaid.And big emeralds on fingernails.Coupled with the indestructible superb blade.Guo Nuan picked up the daggers in the hands of the profiteers and turned to leave.

Aina found out about Guo Nuan's pawning of weapons.For Guo Nuan's embarrassment.The little girl quietly told Grandpa Della.The next day, Della sent his servants to deliver fifty gold coins commonly used in the Western Regions to Guo Nuan.

"As the saying goes, no merit is rewarded. Guo Nuan was first saved by Grandpa Della. The kindness cannot be repaid. Now he gave so much money for no reason. Guo Nuan deserves it. This...is not good."

Guo Nuan was moved.He decisively returned these expensive coins to Della.

"It's a little bit of caution. Mr. Guo will accept it." Della retreated again and again.It's a pity that he is not as stubborn as the stubborn Guo Nuan.The old man felt admiration and a little helplessness in his heart.

"But in this vast Western Region. You are not familiar with the place. If you don't even have money, it will be very difficult to survive." Della sighed.He really wanted to help this strong young man.

"Even without money. I can survive in the desert..." Guo Nuan spoke half of the sentence.The original confidence became weaker and weaker.He lowered his head solemnly.Yes.think about yourself.Do not use money to purchase fresh water supplies in oasis tribes.Do you want to eat weeds in the desert?hunt.Survive like a savage.Even if you have the wild survival skills you are proud of.But the last time I went through a lot of hardships with Torma, I was lucky enough to cross the desert.Is it on the way to the Western Regions?I can once again be lucky to survive alone.Guo Nuan asked herself that she couldn't.Not to mention running all over the Western Regions to retrieve Torma.I'm afraid whether he can spend half a month penniless in the Western Regions is also a problem.

"Hehe. Mr. Guo. Just accept it. Think of Della and you as friends who have been friends for years. It is purely a friend's selfless help. You don't have to feel that you owe your friend anything." Della realized Guo Nuan's difficulties.He continued to politely say that he owed Guo Nuan the coins.

"Okay." Guo Nuan no longer twitched.He put the golden dagger at his waist on the desk.Under Della's surprised and puzzled eyes, he said sincerely: "Grandpa Della, then I will give you this dagger as a gift from a friend." Guo Nuan smiled lightly.

"No. No." Della hurriedly pushed the incomparably precious dagger into Guo Nuan's hands.When he is in a hurry.The gray beard suddenly curled up.

"Not to mention that this dagger is priceless. You are a martial arts practitioner. How can you lose your personal protective weapon. This can save the owner's life at a critical moment."

"Um. Then Guo Nuan will volunteer to serve as the bodyguard for Grandpa Della's caravan to escort Wusun Kingdom. At least I can do some martial arts. I can help you a little bit."

Guo Nuan recently learned.Della bought a large amount of five-color woven cotton in the city of Niya.He plans to take the caravan to the Wusun oasis tribe three hundred miles away to do some business in the near future.Guo Nuan thought of repaying Della's kindness.He went to Wusun to try his luck to see if he could find news about Doma.
