Chapter 043 Lock You Up
Su Cheng nodded, but saw the messenger saying respectfully to them: "Dear businessman, have you brought your silk?"
Su Cheng did not answer. His silk is now hiding from the wind and snow in the inn on the Pamir Plateau. He doesn't know if the greedy person will destroy those precious silks!
The messenger quickly waved to the people behind him, "Come on, these are merchants selling silk, please invite them into the palace! The king is waiting for their silk at the banquet!"
"Ah?" Qiao Zhi also felt nervous. He lowered his voice and asked Su Cheng: "Where do we have silk now? What should we do if we go to the palace?"
Su Cheng was even more nervous than Qiao Zhi, "I don't know what to do, I can only take one step at a time!"
The Grand Palace in Rome is a prosperous and luxurious scene, with the magnificent corridors and columns, as well as lifelike sculptures, all of which are dazzling.
In the banquet hall, he sat on the table with deep eyes, a beard, brown beard and hair. When he saw Su Cheng, he happily raised his golden gem wine glass and said loudly: "Welcome to businessmen and friends from afar, this is the merchants from a distant country. Their silk is the most exquisite thing I have ever seen. Have you seen it? I'm wearing it!"
The princes and ministers on the table all praised them, their eyes full of envy, "This silk is so beautiful. It is worthy of being a distant Eastern country. It is amazing to be able to produce such exquisite fabrics!"
The king nodded in agreement, and he asked Su Cheng: "Dear Eastern businessman friend, what exquisite silk did you bring to us this time?"
Su Cheng lowered his head nervously, and he looked at Qiao Zhi, "Xiao Qiao Zhi, what are we doing?"
Now, even the smart Qiao Zhi had no choice. He said to Su Cheng: "We can't bring that silk here, we are a thousand miles apart!"
Su Cheng replied nervously: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty the King, we... don't have any silk products this time."
When the ministers around the king heard this, they looked at the king with a flattering look on their faces, "Your Majesty, how could this Eastern merchant have no silk? Since he is a merchant, why is there no goods? Could it be... he deliberately did not buy silk for us?"
When the king heard this, his heart arose, and he waved his hand, "Come on, lock up this Eastern merchant and don't sell me silk, it's simply unreasonable."
The guards beside the king quickly locked up Su Cheng, Qiao Zhi and the others, and took them away and said to Su Cheng: "If you don't hand over the silk within seven days, we will never let you go home again!"
When he heard that he was not allowed to go home, the timid Chen Huazhe started crying, "Wow! I don't want it! I want to go home!"
Qiao Zhi quickly comforted him, "Don't cry, don't cry, we will definitely be back home."
Su Cheng sighed, "I really didn't expect that we would come here."
Haijiang, who had not spoken, said angrily: "Why didn't I realize that that guy was a bad guy? He appeared in the caravan at that time, and I was wondering, he was a secondary face. Unexpectedly, he was actually a bad guy!"
At this moment, a crisp sound of beating was made in the dark corridor, "Bang, bang!"
"Huh? Isn't this the sound of a human-faced pottery lamp?" Chen Huazhe came to the door and lay his ear on the door and said strangely.
"Hey? You're right, isn't this the sound of a human-faced pottery lamp?" Qiao Zhi blinked and said to his friends.
As he was talking, someone stopped in front of Qiao Zhi and the others' door, and a respectful voice said: "They are locked up here, King Tao Deng."
"Open, open!" The sound of the human-faced pottery lamp sounded, "My, partner!"
The man replied obediently: "Okay, let's open it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door lock was opened and the door was pushed open. Then, the person said to the Tao Deng, "King Tao Deng, please come in."
The human-faced pottery lamp jumped into the door and saw him wearing a crown, a beautiful silk shawl, and a golden belt around his waist, which looked like a prince.
When it saw Qiao Zhi and his friends, it immediately smiled, "Part, partner!"
Ma Yao pushed away the human-faced pottery lamp, "Don't say that, we are not your partner! Where did you take the gilded copper silkworm?"
The human face Tao Deng knew that he had done something that made his friends angry, so he lowered his head and explained: "Master, free! Baby, don't lose it!"
"What strange words! I don't want to believe you anymore!" Ma Yao pushed away the human-faced pottery lamp and stopped listening to him.
The follower of the human-faced Tao Ding saw Ma Yao bullying like this, and hurried forward and pushed Ma Yao away, "This is our Tao Ding King, how can you push him!"
The human-faced pottery lamp quickly blocked the followers, and it said to its companions: "The copper silkworm, not lost, not lost!"
"What?" Qiao Zhi became nervous when he heard this, "What do you mean is that the gilded copper silkworm was not lost?"
The human-faced pottery lamp kept nodding, "Not lost, no lost!"
"Didn't you hand it over to your master?" Zhou Sihan asked.
The human-faced Tao Deng replied: "I handed over it, take it away!"
Zhou Sihan blinked, "What do you mean is that after handing it to your master, you took it away again?"
The human-faced Tao Deng nodded quickly, "Baby, partner!" Its little eyes flashed with sincerity. What he wanted to say was that he wanted to return the baby to his partners.
Qiao Zhi was immediately happy when he heard this. If he found the gilded copper silkworm, they would be able to go home and Su Cheng could also return to the normal route. Everything would be confused and would return to normal.
So he asked quickly, "Where is it now? Where did you hide her?"
The human-faced pottery lamp jumped and said to Qiao Zhi: "Treasure House, Treasure House!"
Qiao Zhi quickly said to the human-faced pottery lamp: "Then you take us there quickly and take the gilded copper silkworm back to the Longfoot Museum!"
The man-faced Tao Deng wanted to take Qiao Zhi and the others away, but the guards in front of the door blocked their way. "King Tao Deng, this is not possible. They were locked up by the king. You can't let them go."
The human-faced Tao Deng blinked and her eyebrows stood up, "No, buddy! Mine!"
The guards had a blue face and showed no mercy, "I know it is your friend, but you cannot let them go. They are the ones who deceive the king and must be locked up here. The king said that if they cannot hand over the silk, they will not be allowed to go home."
The human-faced pottery lamp jumped up in anger, and its gold belt kept flashing in front of Qiao Zhi's eyes. It said, "Partner, mine! Don't turn it off, let it go!"
At this time, the entourage said respectfully: "It's better to do this. We only take two people out, and the others are still here. Think about it, the king's purpose is to ask for silk. They are all locked here, and silk cannot be transported, right?"
The guard nodded thoughtfully as he listened to the words of the follower, "What you said seems to make some sense, so let's do it!"
As he said that, the guard said to Tao Deng, "King Tao Deng, you can only take two partners away every day and send them back here before the sun sets."
The man-faced Tao Deng looked at Qiao Zhi and said, "Partner, take it away?"
Qiao Zhi understood who he wanted to ask was to take away, but this stumped him, who should he take out?
At this time, Su Cheng said, "Qiao Zhi, you and Zhou Sihan are the two smartest people. You can go out first, let's stay here first. As for silk matters, we have no choice but to pray that the people in the caravan can come here early and bring silk too."
The human-faced Tao Deng also nodded, "Smart, go out."
Ma Yao nodded, "Yes, Su Cheng is right. We are waiting for you here. You must think of a way to rescue us!"
Zhou Sihan looked at Chen Huazhe and said softly: "Chen Huazhe, don't be afraid, we will definitely come back soon!"
With the urging of the municipal party committee, the human-faced Tao Deng took Qiao Zhi and Zhou Sihan away from the dark place. Qiao Zhi followed behind the human-faced Tao Deng and asked softly: "How could you become the King of the Tao Deng?"
The follower replied to Tao Deng: "The King of Tao Deng brought many treasures. When the king was happy, he made him the King of Tao Deng."
"Human-faced pottery lamp, let's go and find the gilded copper silkworm. As long as you find the gilded copper silkworm, everything will return to normal." Qiao Zhi urged.
The man-faced Tao Deng nodded, "Let's go, let's go!" He took Qiao Zhi quickly to leave the palace and walked on the spacious road. The guards and entourage followed behind them, feeling extremely proud.
When he arrived at the residence of the man-faced pottery lamp, it had no time to rest and quickly brought Qiao Zhi and Zhou Sihan to its treasure house, "It's right inside."
After he finished speaking, he opened the lock with the key. Qiao Zhi looked around and saw many treasures shining brightly, but there was no shadow of the gilded copper silkworm!
"Why don't there be any gilded copper silkworms in the human face?" Qiao Zhi said as he searched in the treasure house again, but found nothing.
