Chapter 165 The mysterious barbarian
Every time Moss helped Liu Bei do something, after the work was completed, he always raised this issue.

Liu Bei has been unwilling to respond directly before.

But this time, what Moss and Gossamer did to him had such a huge impact.

If these people cannot be appeased, once they expose the matter, these Yousi people are aliens and will run away at worst.

But he, Liu Bei, will bear the infamy of a lifetime, and the whole world will punish him.

So in fact, Liu Bei only now discovered that Moss had quietly completed the binding with Liu Bei without knowing it.

If he doesn't agree to Moss, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Liu Bei to be kind due to Moss's insidiousness.

He just nodded and said with a smile,
"You Yousi people have been wandering for hundreds of years, which is really sad. Since you want to be neighbors with the Han Dynasty, how can our vast country care less about this state and island."

Moss was overjoyed when he heard this: "So Uncle Liu has agreed? Then I will ask Yousi's people to move to Jiaozhi and Yazhou. When Uncle Liu ascends to the throne, our Yousi Kingdom will be the most loyal ally of the new dynasty."

When Liu Bei heard the word "New Dynasty", a trace of unnoticeable excitement flashed across his face.
But he still waved his hand and said: "You can handle the matter of the Yousi people's relocation on your own. Now that Jiaozhi is a vast area and sparsely populated, Yazhou is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court. After you come, you will be close to Jingzhou, so it can be used as a help."

Moss saluted Liu Xuan, with a smile on his face as if his plot had succeeded, "In this case, Moss will thank Uncle Liu first, oh no, thank His Majesty."

After Moss left, Liu Bei still stayed alone in the secret room to reflect.

A new dynasty, Your Majesty.

These words deeply stimulated Liu Bei's inner desires.

In the past, when Liu Xie was in power, although the imperial court was in decline, the reputation of the Han Dynasty's orthodoxy was at least suppressed, so even if Liu Bei had the slightest idea, he would not dare to express it.

But now, the emperor is gone, and the most orthodox royal bloodline has been cut off. All less orthodox royal bloodlines have equal opportunities.

"Are they really equal?" Liu Bei thought to himself. He walked to the wall of the secret room and opened a secret compartment.
He carefully took out a brocade box from inside.
In the brocade box, a gold-encrusted jade seal was lying there, exuding a simple and majestic atmosphere.

The Jade Seal of the Kingdom, the Jade Seal of the Kingdom that was originally found in Shouchun City,
At first, I thought about using the jade seal to exchange for the release of my uncle Dong Cheng from prison, so that the emperor could grant him the title of Prince Jing of Zhongshan.

Thinking about it now, fortunately Cao Cao didn't agree.

The line of the Son of Heaven has been severed, so what is the difference between King Jing of Zhongshan and King of Huaiyang?

It's different now. I have the imperial seal in my hand.

If any of the royal family members need an excuse to continue their reign, is there anything more convincing than holding the imperial seal?
Only Xu Shu knew about the imperial seal, and now Mosi also knew about it.

Xu Shu did not object to Liu Bei hiding the jade seal at first. Liu Bei knew that Xu Shu was not foolishly loyal to the Han Dynasty. If Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, Xu Shu would most likely not object.

As for Moss, he was the most active in pushing Liu Bei to become emperor.

Xiangyang, early summer.

Xiangyang City, which had not been affected by war for a long time, was crowded with people.

The sunshine in May is not harsh, allowing the crowds on the street to enjoy the rare warmth and tranquility in troubled times.

Two men walked up the street, one of them was tall and handsome, both heroic and elegant.

The other person has a majestic figure, mighty and domineering, and exudes a strong masculinity, but there is a hint of charm in that masculinity.

The boys and girls on the street couldn't help but look at him strangely.

Behind the two men were two women who looked like women.

Although one of them is dressed as a woman, her gentle and quiet temperament still reveals some virginity.

The other person is a veritable mature beauty. Her graceful figure and beautiful face always show her seductive charm.

Compared with the two men in front who were calm and calm, the two women were obviously a little excited.

They must have rarely gone shopping, so the two of them walked arm in arm and walked through the shops one by one.
Especially when you come across rouge, gouache, and women's accessories shops, you have to stop for a long time.

The mighty and domineering tall man had already carried more than a dozen things in his hands, but when he saw the two women still buying and buying, he did not look impatient. Instead, he smiled dotingly at the mature beauty, indicating that he was okay.

These four people are Liu Xuan, Lu Bu, Zhao Liniang and Diao Chan.

Zhao Liniang came because she needed to use her disguise skills and take care of Liu Xuan's daily life.

As for Diao Chan, she just heard that Lu Bu was going to Jingzhou with Liu Xuan, and she was curious and wanted to go out and play with her.

Lu Bu couldn't stand Diao Chan's bullying, so he had to ask Liu Xuan for help.

Liu Xuan agreed to Lu Bu based on the idea of ​​bringing a beautiful woman to show off his appearance when he was away from home.

All four of them had their faces changed, but with Zhao Liniang's current disguise skills, she was able to not only change their appearance, but also retain or even improve each person's temperament.

The two women had a great time shopping, and Liu Xuan was not in a hurry, so he briefly enjoyed the prosperity of Xiangyang City.

The main purpose of their trip was to find out information about Liu Bei. The real murderer of the regicide was most likely one of Liu Bei's men.
And those who can do such an important thing for Liu Bei must be Liu Bei's confidant, and the probability of staying with Liu Bei is extremely high.

After shopping for a long time, the four of them felt hungry and thirsty, so they came to a restaurant on the main street for dinner.

The business of this restaurant seemed to be good. The waiter welcomed the four people in and greeted them warmly,
"What do you guys want to eat and drink?"

Liu Xuan was not familiar with Xiangyang's customs and customs, so he said directly: "Let's just order some of your store's signature dishes."

After finishing it, he subconsciously added, "It doesn't need to be too much, just enough for the four of us."

"Hey, okay, sir, please wait a moment."

The waiter's service was acceptable. After waiting for two-quarters of an hour, a waiter came over with a tray.

Four dishes, two meat and two vegetarian, plus a soup and a pot of wine.

The portions of the dishes are very generous, enough for four people.

Liu Xuan couldn't help but feel very fond of this store.

Without him, it’s just this simplicity.

The presentation of the dishes is okay, and the taste is also very good, which is very different from the taste in Yangzhou.

Liu Xuan was originally here to search for information, so he didn't ask for a private room. The four people were sitting in the lobby.

A few people ate leisurely and watched the customers at the table next to them chatting and laughing, which was quite a different experience.

Suddenly, Zhao Liniang whispered, "Hey, why are there still barbarians here?"

Liu Xuan looked up after hearing this and saw four people coming in from the door. They all had beards and sunken eye sockets. Their face shape and skin color were also very different from those of the Han people.

Liu Xuan's eyes moved. He had seen how these people were dressed before.

On the day of the attack on Xuchang City, the man next to Liu Bei who commanded the crossbows and catapults was dressed in this way.

It looks like he came from West Asia or the Middle East.

But Zhao Liniang is right to say that they are barbarians.

At this time, the people collectively referred to people with this kind of appearance as Hu people.

While they were talking, the four barbarians had already entered the store in a swaggering manner.The waiter in the shop had a look of disgust on his face just now, but he immediately greeted him with a smile.

Only one of these four people can speak broken Chinese.
However, it was obviously not the first time for the waiter to receive these people. With gestures and expressions, he brought them into the lobby, across the table from Liu Xuan and the others.

The four of them sat down, and the foreigner who could speak Chinese skillfully reported a lot of dish names to the waiter.
Then, ignoring the ugly look on the waiter's face, he waved to him, signaling the waiter to serve the food quickly.

"What's wrong with the waiter in this shop? Someone is not happy after spending money."

Zhao Liniang couldn't help but said while watching this scene.

"It's not like these people don't pay for their meals," Diao Chan said.

"He dares. Among my big men, how dare a mere barbarian to eat for free?"

Lu Bu said disdainfully, without any intention of lowering his voice.

The barbarian obviously heard Lu Bu's words and turned his head when he heard the sound.
But his eyes were quickly attracted to Zhao Liniang and Diao Chan on the other side.

A trace of greed flashed in the Hu man's eyes. Seeing this, the other three Hu men also turned their heads to look.
They didn't understand what Lu Bu said, but Zhao Liniang and Diao Chan were too dazzling.

Several people's eyes were unconsciously attracted.

"What the hell are you looking at?"

Lu Bu stared back at the four of them unceremoniously.

The barbarian who could speak Chinese was yelled at by Lu Bu, and his body froze. He quickly shrank his neck, smiled coquettishly, and told the other three to stop looking here.

Haha, quite cowardly.

Liu Xuan cursed in his heart, it was just a few barbarians eating, it was not a big deal to Liu Xuan, so he did not say anything.

Soon the dishes ordered by the four barbarians were brought out.
What surprised Liu Xuan was that these people ordered too many dishes.

The waiter who delivered the dishes made three trips with a grimace, and a full table was filled with more than a dozen dishes.

And it looks like a good dish.

The four barbarians began to eat haisei. Most of the other customers around the plate were ordinary people or businessmen. Seeing the delicious food on the table, many people couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

At this time, the Hu man who could speak Chinese glanced around.
He said something to the other three people with a proud expression, and the three people also had a look of pride on their faces.

The customer next to him obviously didn't understand what they were saying, but Liu Xuan frowned.

Liu Xuan could completely understand what the barbarian said just now.

That is ancient Hebrew, which sounds weird, but Liu Xuan has combined proficient language package entries, and he has reached the level of proficiency in all ancient English, ancient Sanskrit, and ancient Hebrew.

Because after activating this skill, Liu Xuan never had the chance to hear a language other than Chinese, but it didn't sound for a while.

It wasn't until the barbarian spoke a string of ancient Hebrew loudly that Liu Xuan was surprised to find that he actually understood the meaning.

What the barbarian said just now, translated into Chinese, is:
[Have you seen, brothers, our wise Gossamers, even when we reach the age of Han, are still an excellent race that is admired and envied by others. 】

[Everyone is free to come and eat. You can come to this place anytime you want. Come and eat meat. Eat meat. 】

Liu Xuan ate slowly and listened calmly to a few barbarians chatting while eating.

[Alas, those two Han women are really beauties. Such beauties should be snatched away to give birth to the next generation for our outstanding Yousi people. 】

[What a pity, the big man next to me looks very fierce. 】

[Okay, okay, brothers, please bear with me. The bishop has told you not to cause trouble recently. Just wait for the bishop's plan to succeed. What kind of Han beauty can't you want in the future? 】

[Hehe, that’s right too. 】

Liu Xuan listened to the dirty words of several people and did not show any abnormality.

He was proficient in foreign languages, and he didn't want to be exposed prematurely.

But Liu Xuan remembered the looks of these people.

Dare to lust after Li Niang?So brave!

Zhao Liniang and Diao Chan ate slowly. When they finished their meal, Liu Xuan called the waiter to pay the bill.

After paying the bill, the four barbarians next to them had also finished eating.

The table was in a mess, with only half of a large table of dishes eaten.

All the rest was left on the plate, and what was even more disgusting was that these barbarians threw all the food residues, bones, etc. they spit out into the uneaten dishes.

[I heard that the owner of this shop will donate the leftover food to the homeless people in the city, so that these Han people can have a taste of our saliva, hahahaha. 】

A barbarian said in ancient Hebrew, causing the other three to laugh strangely.

【gone. 】

Seeing the four people getting up, the waiter quickly called to stop,
"Four distinguished guests, please pay here."

The barbarian who understood Chinese stared.
"What kind of account should I settle? Remember, the interest will be deducted when the time comes."

After saying that, he pushed away the grim-faced waiter and walked away.

"Why are you doing this, little boy? These barbarians are freeloaders and you just let them go like this?"

Lu Bu couldn't see it and couldn't help but said to the waiter.

If Liu Xuan hadn't told him not to expose his identity casually before going out, those barbarians would have been left behind by Lu Bu.

The waiter sighed helplessly: "Thank you for your concern, sir. Alas, these hateful barbarians are not freeloaders, and I can't stop them."

Lu Bu said: "Since you are not freeloading, you have paid for it, so why do you have to look so sad? It is their business to eat as much as they like."

Liu Xuan also said at this time: "The bastard just said that the interest will be deducted, but your shop owner owes others money?"

The waiter looked at Liu Xuan, nodded and said, "Oh, my master, you should never borrow money from these barbarians."

"How do you say this? Can you explain it in detail?"

"I don't have anything to say to the guests," the waiter looked around the lobby. At this time, the meal time had passed, and there were not many customers in the restaurant, so he simply poured out the bitter water with a few people.
"My owner has been running this restaurant for more than ten years, but before that it was a small restaurant. The business was pretty good and he made some money.

"But since two years ago, the master listened to a businessman from the Western Regions who said he wanted to expand the scale of the restaurant and make it bigger and stronger, our life has been difficult."

Liu Xuan said in surprise: "I see that the restaurant business is good. It has indeed become bigger and stronger. Why is it that life is so difficult?"

"What the guest doesn't know is that expanding the scale of the restaurant requires money. The owner didn't have much money at the beginning, so the merchant from the Western Regions generously lent him some money to build the restaurant."

"But after it was built, the businessman said that he was in a hurry to use the money and urged the owner to pay it back. But we had just finished building the restaurant and there was no money to pay it back. The businessman from the Western Regions forced my owner to write a note and refused to pay it back. Even if the money is loaned to us, interest needs to be paid monthly.”

When Liu Xuan heard this, he suddenly felt familiar and blurted out: "The interest rate must be ridiculously high, right?"
