Chapter 78 Chapter 78: A Slave in the Kingdom of Athens Changes His Career A Hermit in the Republic of China

Seeing Xue Tao's tragic death, Hong Bo and Xiao Zhi didn't know why; they jumped up from the side, dragged them out of the car and tied them up.When Hong Bo saw it, it was just a few official armors and coachmen, and the corpses of seven or eight court ladies were lying on the ground.It turned out that just now when Guan Jia saw Xue Tao awarding Hong Bo and Xiao Zhi pearls, he couldn't help becoming malicious. They colluded with the coachman on the road and drove the horses and chariots to this place intentionally to kill them for money.The leader official searched for pearls from Xiao Zhi, and said with a smile: "These two people are going to auction in Athens, and they can make a fortune." All the official members laughed.

The coachman said: "It has been discussed just now. I have a share of the pearls. Why are you taking them all?" Chief Jia said harshly: "There are only two of them, and there are eleven of us, how come you have it?" The coachman said angrily: "Since this is the case, I will go back to China. I still have my mother, wife and children at home." As he said, he stepped forward to untie the horse. An officer next to him came over with a spear and stabbed the coachman to death.Jia Chang said: "Now we are going to vote for Athens together. This pearl is exchanged for taels, and ten people will share it equally. These two people will sell for taels, and we will also buy wine. Let's all come and drink together."

Everyone agreed, and the official armor stripped off the clothes of the dead official daughter and princess.One of them said: "This skirt can be worn by my wife." The other said: "This jewelry can be worn by my wife." Then a group of people escorted Hong Bo and Xiao Zhi to the Athens Kingdom.In the middle of the night, it rained heavily and the road was muddy. The officers took Hongbo and twigs to hide in a cave. One officer found wild fruits and lit a bonfire. They ate them together and then fell asleep soundly. Hong Bo slept until dawn, he felt someone walking around in a trance, opened his eyes and saw an official armor holding a waist knife, hacked all nine official armors to death, and took out pearls from one official armor's chest and put them into his bosom.It turned out that Guan Jia knew that Guan Jia, who was wearing pearls, wanted to swallow the pearls alone, so he became murderous; he put anesthetic on the wild fruits he picked last night, coaxing everyone to sleep, and one person took the pearls.After killing everyone, Guan Jia urged Hongbo and Xiaozhi to set off; Hongbo and Xiaozhi had no choice but to get up and follow him to Athens.

The three of them traveled southeast for more than twenty li before arriving in Athens.The Athenian Kingdom fought against the Cherry Blossom Kingdom for several days, and was defeated yesterday. The country is now in a mess and chaos, the people are rushing to flee, and the soldiers are frightened. Officer A escorted the two of them to the market, where they saw buyers and sellers bargaining on the square, shouting and cursing constantly. The appearance of Hongbo and Xiaozhi alarmed the buyers.When the buyers saw it, they flocked to them together.Guan Jia shouted: "10,000 hangs for male slaves, and 8,000 hangs for female slaves!" The buyers all thought the price was expensive and shook their heads one after another.Guan Jia insisted not to lower the price, and the buyers felt disappointed and left one after another.

Towards dusk, two sedan chairs came from the south of the street, and two scholars came down.Those two people saw Hong Bo.Surprised by the appearance of Xiaozhi, he asked the officer for the price; the soldier told him that they pooled up the silver and bought Chen Hongbo and Luo Xiaozhi. It turned out that the two young masters were from the Yimin Kingdom, and Hong Bo knew they were Xie Tiao and Xie Lingyun after they passed through the Athens Kingdom on their way to Wangsun Kingdom and exchanged their names.Hong Bo and Xiao Zhi also told the story, and Er Xie invited them to Yi Minguo. Hong Bo and Xiao Zhi seemed to be escaping from a dream, and they suddenly felt refreshed along the way. Xie Tiao and Chen Hongbo were in the same sedan chair, and Xie Lingyun and Luo Xiaozhi were in the same sedan chair.The coachman jumped on his horse and whipped his whip, passing through the countries of Ziqian, Confused, and Satisfied. On the morning of the seventh day, he arrived in the area of ​​Yiminguo. :

You don't know that the road to Shu is as difficult as going up to the blue sky, and you don't know that traveling is difficult.The Feiquan is held high, and the clouds and pines are lying on the top.In the chaotic clouds, ginkgo and metasequoia are hidden.Mountain ape Panzhi, peeping at how many idlers who are clearing the museum?The bright moon and sparse shadows set off some ancient yellow scrolls.There are buildings outside the building, shining with gold and jade, which is not comparable to Huaqing Palace; there is a pool inside the pool, with golden waves and scales, fresher than Luojia Spring.There is a sound in the stream, and it turned out to be three thousand feet long; there is no gap between the book windows, and Mo Jing is only one inch short.Leaning on the building by the willows, watching the geese walking in the sand, the mandarin ducks are in pairs, forming a sea of ​​flowers.Mo Dao was born with a thin heart, and opened his mouth to embrace simplicity, but he only ended up with a breezy sleeve, a thin and thin shirt.But I know that Yimin is arrogant, and the black gauze pillow is intended to be innocent for the rest of my life, and to cut off the ties of the world.When you are happy, sing to wine; when you are bored, ask the blue sky;Xishasha, who knows that the survivors and hermits often come here for trysts, and they want to be Dongshan gods.Idle and idle, even the singing prostitutes and concubines came to the singing circle of the poetry hall to compete for the Jinling poetry crown!

Xie Lingyun and Xie Tiao got off their horses and led the two of them up the mountain trail. They walked for more than 20 miles, and suddenly saw a villa hidden in the bamboo forest in front of them. Several family members came to lead the horses; Go ahead and report. Hong Bo took a closer look at the gate of the village, and saw a line written in gold letters: Dongshan Academy There is a couplet on both sides: Northern Expedition Feishui Xiao Zudi comeback thank you an After a while, Er Xie came out with an official in his arms, but saw: There is a great book style, but there is no hidden emotion in Huihui.

The white beard leads the white hair, and the black sleeve brushes the child's feet. The officialdom is ashamed, and the mountains laugh at the belly. Call Shun Yu back, we only read books. Hong Bo and Xiao Zhi rushed forward to salute and reported their names.Xie Anwen was very happy when he said that he was a domestic tourist, so he hurried to go to the room.He called his family to prepare tea.Then he summoned his concubine, Hong Fu, to meet him. Hong Fu, dressed in plain red, was polite and charming: Soft like Dongting Qiubo, shy and beautiful.White as the snow in the West Lake, the cherries are a little bit drunk, a pair of willow shreds hidden in the spring mountain can hold a few petals of lotus root flowers;After watching the Westward Journey of the Water Margin, it is difficult to compare the beautiful appearance of that woman who cherishes the feather fan; after reading the West Chamber of the Red Mansion, it is difficult to describe the poems and essays of Daiyu Yingying.Originally, it was Yang Daguan who held the pearl and jade girl, and later she voted for General Li Jing; it turned out that Emperor Li of the Tang Dynasty was an actress in Liyuan, don't be surprised that the Xie family is now a dignitary!

Xiaozhi asked, "When will Miss Hong arrive here?" Hong Fu slightly relaxed her brows, and said with a smile, "I was originally at Li Jing's place in the Heavenly King Hall of the Heavenly Dynasty, but Li Tianwang's mood became worse and worse later on. It's just because Li Kui from Xiaoliangshan, the Forty Heroes of Heaven and others disturbed the Kingdom of Heaven, it's not here every day." Call the police, that is to report the funeral there. The Jade Emperor always blames the Heavenly King every day. The Heavenly King is unhappy when he returns home, and always beats me to vent his anger. I couldn't bear it, and told Chang'e, and Chang'e sister persuaded me to flee. One day I went to Tianmu Mountain In the name of picking tea, he sneaked out and threw it into the mansion of Mr. Xie in the Yimin Kingdom."

Xie An laughed and said, "It's really a 'marriage of thousands of miles'!" When Hongfu heard her cheeks flushed, she quickly turned aside: "We have nowhere to go in this remote village, but there is a Yunyin Pavilion behind the mountain, where Gao Shiboya lived in Spring and Autumn, and he played the piano well. If you are willing, I would like to take you on the journey." Xie An said: "Don't tell me, but I forgot, that Boya played the qin very well, because his good friend Zhong Wuqi died, and he played the qin all day long to read his bosom friend, and the melody is sad and moving."

Hong Bo, Xiao Zhi followed Xie An and Hong Fu out of the back door of the manor, walked around several bamboo forests, and saw a group of buildings on the back hillside. A senior scholar played the piano, and hundreds of people at the table listened quietly, all of whom were survivors and laymen. But listen to the piano playing: The boundless man, the faint good news. Although the survivors are here, their hearts are in the universe. With Wei Que in mind, Han and Qin are not forgotten. Often eat grains, or have Artemisia root. Xiquan washes his face and sweeps away the dust. Plain scarf with high sleeves, the breeze is all over the house. Only my friend, Mr. Zhong Wuqi. Accompanied day and night, I know my voice best. It is better than the gods to raise the eyebrows. If I lose my limbs, who will make up for me? The good news is lost and hard to find through the ages. Climbing high and shedding tears, leaning on a stick frequently. After Na Boya finished playing and singing, he put down the piano, stood up and leaned on his staff, cupped his hands, and said to the crowd: "Mr. Yi people, my Boya is over a hundred years old, and I make a living by selling pianos. Those who have money here hope that you can make up for me with gifts." The Void of Chai Mi!" When Yimin at the table heard this, he got up quickly and wanted to slip away; when Hong Bo saw it, he felt sorry and hurriedly took out a few ingots of silver from his pocket.Seeing him nearby, Xie An hurriedly grabbed him and said, "There's no reason for a guest to pay money." Saying this, he took out a large ingot of silver from his pocket. Hong Bo pushed him and said, "You can only express your gratitude by paying." Then he threw the few ingots of silver at Boya; Boya caught it and bowed to thank him.Xie An had no choice but to throw the big silver ingot to Boya, and Boya said with a smile on his face, "Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for your gift." At this time, Dan saw a person at the table get up and said happily: "Is this person a Confucian scholar?" Hong Bo turned his head and saw the man: Wearing a green shirt, showing a few ribs.Wearing a Zhou crown, floating a bunch of broken beads with red tassels.The appearance is extraordinary, with sharp eyes and thick eyebrows.The appearance is special, as if crying but not crying.
