Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 9 Once Into the General's Mansion
"What's the matter with you, sir?"

After breakfast, Liu Yiling took Cheng Banxia to bid farewell to Xue Lang with a smile, and went back to the next door to continue working.These medicinal herbs prepared for wartime are enough for master and apprentice to work for ten days.

Xue Lang sat cross-legged and sighed, like a dead morning glory, which aroused the care of the licorice children.Xue Lang sighed, and shook his hand at him: "It's nothing, I was just injured by a critical blow, and I'm recovering blood!"

"what?"

Licorice didn't understand.

Xue Lang looked up at the sky: "The blood tank is empty, we urgently need a nurse and shaman!"

"what?"

Poor licorice was even more confused.Xue Lang waved his hand without any intention of explaining.Licorice scratched his head and reminded him: "Mr. Lang, don't forget that Shen Shi is going to meet the general."

"understood!"

Licorice cleaned up the table and went to wash the dishes.

Xue Lang sighed, cheered himself up, and went to look through his clothes in his bag.

Most of the clothes in the bag are autumn and winter. I originally planned to send them home and change into thinner clothes that are convenient for traveling. But before I changed, I went through time travel.In this ancient time without El Niño phenomenon, these clothes are suitable for wearing during this time.

Rummaging in the bag, I found thermal underwear, a shirt, a sweater, a suit jacket, slacks, and a woolen coat.Xue Lang is 1.8 meters tall and tall. Wearing such a suit, he looks handsome and handsome, with an upright temperament.

Licorice was full of envy when she saw it: "Such a suit of clothes, although weird, but your husband looks very good in it."

Xue Lang laughed in a good mood, and corrected him: "You are also a man, come on, my brother will teach you, you can't praise a man by saying he is good-looking, but by saying he is handsome."

Licorice laughed and scratched his head.

After tidying up and arranging the dogs, there was still a quarter before Shen Shi, and a carriage came to pick them up.Licorice helped Xue Lang carry the wooden box onto the carriage, and got into the carriage together with Xue Lang.

"arrive!"

Amid the handlebar-style reminder, Xue Lang and Licorice lifted the door curtain and got out of the carriage.Xue Lang raised his head, and saw the vermilion gate, with the words "General's Mansion" hanging on the gate, and there were soldiers standing guard at the gate.

The soldier on guard obviously knew Licorice: "Little Licorice, what's the matter?"

Licorice clasped his fists in salute: "Please tell Brother Liu that Licorice is here with Jiankang Xue Lang."

The sergeant nodded and looked at Xue Lang: "Does this gentleman have a famous assassin?"

Xue Lang quickly handed over the business card holder.This business card holder was given by his deceased girlfriend. It is made of black alloy and has a leather cover. Xue Lang has always used it and cared for it very well.

The sergeant had obviously never seen this kind of foreign thing before, and cast doubtful eyes on Xue Lang, Xue Lang stepped forward with a smile, and made a demonstration to open it, revealing the piece of paper with his name written on it. The attitude was inexplicably more polite: "Mr. Xue, please wait a moment, and I will report to you right now."

"Thank you, Sergeant, please. Here is a small gift prepared by me. Here is the list of gifts. It is not a respect, but just a token of my gratitude. Please forgive me. Please pass it on, Sergeant."

"Your Majesty is very polite, I will definitely tell the general, please wait a moment."

The sergeant turned around and went in, and came out after a while: "The general is waiting for Mr. Xue Lang in the mansion, sir please."

Xue Lang cupped his fists to express his gratitude, and followed the sergeant into the door.

After entering the gate, someone came to lure the licorice away, and he was the only one left to continue walking in with the sergeant. Compared with the Tang Dynasty gardens that Xue Lang visited in modern times, this small courtyard can be said to be simple and rudimentary.

Go through the courtyard and soon come to a door.

The sergeant stopped immediately, and Xue Lang kept paying attention to him, so he also stopped.The sergeant bowed his head and cupped his fists in salute: "Miss Zhishu, Mr. Xue Lang from Jiankang is here."

Xue Lang also bowed his head, not to look around, lest he be beaten out as a disciple.I only heard a crisp female voice saying: "Mr. Liu, please go ahead. Let me take Mr. Xue Lang in to see the princess."

"Here."

The sergeant bowed his head and went out, and the female sergeant called Miss Zhishu came over: "Is that Mr. Xue Lang? Please go with the servant."

"Trouble girl."

Following the female sergeant through the corridor, to the door of the main hall, the Zhishu girl signaled Xue Lang to wait here, and she went in to report.Xue Lang stood silently, when he heard a slightly deep and hoarse female voice inside: "Please come in, Mr. Xue Lang."

Then, the female sergeant came out again: "Xue Langjun, the general invites you in."

Bring Xue Lang in.

Xue Lang bowed his head and clasped his fists to salute according to Licorice's instructions: "Jiankang Xue Lang, an overseas wanderer, pays his respects to Your Excellency the General."

A slightly deep and hoarse female voice said: "Mr. Xue Lang, please sit down and talk."

A girl dressed as a maid took out a cushion and placed it on the right side.Xue Lang knelt on the cushion, and only then did he look up to see the situation in the room——

In a spacious wooden room, a woman in a plain white silk dress sits kneeling at the head, with a screen behind her and a desk in front.And the person kneeling in front of the screen must be that legendary woman—Princess Pingyang.

The princess's face is very beautiful, with beautiful eyebrows and almond eyes, and her facial features are fairer than ordinary people. Even though she is dressed in men's clothing, she can't hide her beauty. Her eyes are clear and bright, which is impressive. She looks about the same age as Xue Lang, and her gestures are full of aura powerful.

When not smiling or talking, I feel a little cold and have a great temperament.Just kneeling and sitting there so casually, people dare not be contemptuous, as if telling her a joke will offend her, and dare not slack off in the slightest.

Miss Yu!Beautiful and temperamental lady!

Xue Lang only glanced at her. Her Royal Highness's aura is very strong, her demeanor is calm and her posture is calm and elegant, but it makes others not dare to slack off. Xue Lang can't help straightening his body and straightening his spine.

On the lower head of Princess Pingyang, on the left sits a middle-aged man with a beard and profound facial features, which is obviously different from the appearance of the Han people.

There was a table in front of the three of them, and there was at least one meter between the table and the table.

Next to the screen, there is a woman dressed as a maid. Next to the woman is a table full of things. Next to the table is a small stove with a kettle on it. The woman takes things from the table and puts them into the water from time to time. Appears to be cooking.

"I heard that Xue Langjun's ancestral home is Jiankang, and his ancestors moved overseas. I don't know where overseas?"

After sitting down, Princess Pingyang asked.

Xue Lang raised his head with a serious face——

Anyway, you don’t know what I said, so make it up, and it’s over when you’re done making it up!
Therefore, Xue Lang said: "It is a country called the Byzantine Dynasty. The land where the country is located is also a huge continent like my Tang Dynasty. That continent is called Europa."

After finishing speaking, he took a special look at the expressions of the three of them. Except for Princess Pingyang whose expression was too indifferent to see why, the other two were at a loss for a moment.It's good to be at a loss, if you understand it, then it's time to match the password.

The bearded man asked, "I don't know how far it is from Dashi?"

Xue Lang looked at the bearded man: "I don't know what to call this official?"

"A certain He Panren."

He Panren, one of the leaders of the rebel army recruited by Princess Pingyang, was a Hu merchant.No wonder he was there today, probably because he was asked to identify Xue Lang's origin.
