Chapter 146 Chapter 146: The purpose of the mission
After the Mauryan Dynasty envoy entered the Qilin Hall, Fusu finally had the opportunity to see the true appearance of these Aryans from the distant Mauryan Kingdom.
I saw that most of the people standing in the court had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and beards. Judging from the age of these people, they were probably between seventeen or eighteen to forty years old. They were dressed in coarse brown cloth.
They wore half-length robes and khaki short coats, and their heads were wrapped with heavy turbans. The half of their hair exposed from under the turbans was still curly. Seeing the Mauryan Dynasty envoy dressed like this,
This made the Qin cultural relics officials standing next to them very strange. Most of these officials had accompanied Fusu to Hexi for inspection. They had seen the appearance of many foreign merchants in Ganzhou City, but they
I have never seen anyone with this kind of appearance and appearance.
Not to mention the officials, even Fusu, a monster who has lived for two generations, has a look of confusion on his face. He had watched many Shenyou Kingdom movies before traveling through time, and he was quite familiar with the looks of the people of Shenyou Kingdom.
, but the difference between the appearance of the person in front of him and the Ah San he had seen in later generations was quite obvious. First of all, the skin of these people was much fairer than that of Ah San in later generations. Secondly, the color of their hair was completely different from Ah San. Because of these
Human hair color is flaxen yellow.
After being eroded by wind, frost, rain and snow on the long journey, although the skin of these people was still fair, it still became a bit rough. What made Fusu puzzled was that there was one person in this team who was completely different from the others.
There was no trace of the erosion caused by the journey on his face. His delicate face was still so fair. Judging from the age of this person, he was probably around seventeen or eighteen years old. Fusu looked at this person carefully.
I saw that this man had a dignified manner. Although he was in a foreign court, there was no trace of timidity on his face.
Others in the court might not be able to see clearly this person's behavior that was different from others, but Fusu could see it clearly.
While Fusu and the ministers were looking at these people curiously, these people were also constantly looking at Fusu and the ministers in the court. Their eyes were on Fusu and the ministers without hesitation.
He was cruising around in a stop, as if he wanted to see through everyone in the Qilin Hall, especially the young man with extraordinary bearing and delicate appearance. After his eyes stayed on the ministers for a short while, he moved to Fusu, and then he
His eyes never left Fusu's body.
At this moment, Fusu really wanted to say an authentic Northeastern dialect to the ancestor of this Northeastern mud-playing boy: "What are you looking at?" Although Fusu was puzzled by the fact that this man was staring at him, in the end he still
He suppressed the doubts in his heart and accepted the scrutiny of these people openly.
After a while, seeing that they were almost done with the inspection, these people from the envoy and the ministers of Great Qin successively put away their inspection gazes and began the most important thing of the trip.
"Master Qin, we are the envoys of the Moon Protector Kingdom (The Maurya Dynasty is the name given by historians to the kingdom established by Chandragupta, and the Maurya Kingdom calls itself the Moon Protector Kingdom.), and we are specially commissioned by my Moon Protector King Sari Suga.
I came here to seek the elixir, and I hope you will give it to me!"
After listening to the explanations of these envoys from the Da Yueshi's guest translators, Fusu roughly understood the purpose of these people's visit. As for the elixir that the people of these envoys were seeking, Fusu also had a look of confusion on his face.
He was considered a knowledgeable person, and he had never heard of any magic medicine in Da Qin. Out of curiosity, Fusu did not rush to express his position, but patiently continued to ask.
"I wonder what this elixir you are talking about is?"
Now it was the turn of the people in the mission to be confused. They had clearly heard that there was an elixir in the ancient country of Cīna that could make people live five hundred years. Based on their analysis of what they had seen and heard in Da Qin during this period, this Da Qin must be Cīna.
There is no doubt that the ancient country, so they did not choose to conceal the purpose of their trip, but expressed their demands in front of the civil and military officials of the court. Why did the young master of the country still pretend to be confused with them?
Seeing that Fusu was still "pretending to be dumbfounded", the members of the Mauryan Dynasty mission had no choice but to patiently explain to Fusu the purpose of their trip.
"Master Da Qin, there are rumors in my country, Yuehu Country, that there is a kind of fairy medicine in your country. Taking it can extend the life of people to 500 years. Therefore, our king sent us here to look for the medicine. We know that this medicine will definitely be used in your country.
It is extremely valuable, so we will never ask for it rashly. No matter what the conditions are, please put it forward. If we can make the decision, we will definitely agree. If we can't make the decision, then we will repair the book and send it back to me.
To protect the Hua Clan City, please ask my king to make a decision."
After an explanation from the translator, Fusu finally understood the purpose of these people coming to Xianyang. In Fusu's knowledge, only his father Qin Shihuang had done stupid things to seek immortality. He didn't expect that the Mauryan king was no better.
Go, he is also a fool like his father.
Fusu shook his head helplessly and lamented Sari Suga's mindless behavior: "Oh, another fool who is extremely obsessed with power!"
"I have a question for some of the envoys. I know that it is a long way from your Yue Protectorate to my country, Great Qin. I wonder if you have ever seen anyone who has lived to be a hundred years old along the way?"
After Fusu finished asking, the translator translated the words Fusu asked to the people in the mission.
After listening to the translator relaying Fusu's questions, everyone in the hall began to communicate in whispers. Although Fusu didn't know what they were discussing, it should be related to Fusu's questions.
After a while, the discussion gradually quieted down, and it was obvious that they had reached a conclusion.
"Master Qin, during our journey, we have never seen anyone with a life span of more than a hundred years. Not to mention people with a life span of more than a hundred years, we have not seen many people who are even fifty years old? (During the Qin Dynasty, all major cities in the world
The life span of the imperial nobles is relatively high, but the life span of ordinary people is less than forty years old.)"
"You must have been in our Daqin territory for a long time. I wonder if you have ever seen anyone with a life span of five hundred years."
These two questions that Fusu raised one after another completely confused the Mauryan Dynasty envoy. Since entering Qin, they have also paid special attention to the life span of Qin people, not to mention people with a life span of 500 years.
Not many people can live to be fifty or sixty years old. For them, the biggest gain is that they learned that a long-lived man named Peng Zu was indeed born in the land of Qin, and it was rumored that this man lived to be 880 years old.
Although these people in the mission have figured out that seeking immortality is futile under Fusu's series of questioning, deep down in their hearts they still hold on to the last glimmer of hope for the legendary elixir that can increase life span by 500 years. After all,
The Qin Dynasty has great national power and a vast territory. Maybe there really is that kind of magic medicine.
