The large group of people left Lanling City in a mighty manner.
Feng Jiuxiao's ears were as red as a cock's comb filled with blood. Chili Pepper finally let out a breath of bad breath, and the bright smile returned to her face.
Feng Jiuxiao snorted coldly and said, "How beautiful are you this time?"
Chili Pepper said loudly on purpose: "Of course, I've always been beautiful, I'm so beautiful, I'm so drunk!" He even hummed a tune.
Feng Jiuxiao snorted deliberately and ignored her.
The official road is very smooth, and the road is paved with gravel. It can be seen that the government here attaches great importance to the maintenance of traffic.
After a long time, the sound of two horses' hoofbeats was heard from behind.
Duan Muyan said: "They should be back."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "It seems that after sending the letter on the 15th, he went to help Brother Wang again."
Duan Muyan frowned and said, "Well, but is that master so difficult to deal with? Would Wang Sheng be happy to have another fifteenth brother help him?"
Feng Jiuxiao muttered: "That person is also at the pinnacle of the Nine Realms after all. We are all brothers, so maybe he used some extra help!"
Two fast horses caught up with them at lightning speed. Pang Shishi took the lead and rushed to the front of the team. He said to Feng Jiuxiao: "Brother, the matter is done. If I hadn't taken a look at Brother Wang just now, he would have almost died there!"
Feng Jiuxiao was startled, "What's going on?"
At this time, Wang Sheng rushed up and said breathlessly: "If the fifteen brothers hadn't arrived in time, I would have been left there."
"What's going on?" Duan Muyan also asked.
"Didn't I chase the Southern Tang spy? He fought and retreated. I chased him all the way. Unexpectedly, another master appeared on the way. That person seemed to be his accomplice and wanted to save him. When I saw the two of them besieging him,
I ran back when I was alone, but Shififeng was worried about me and was rushing towards me, so he helped me deal with those two people!"
He omitted the dangers during this period, but everyone saw that there were several scars and blood stains on his clothes. They had to say that it was lucky that Shi Fifteen showed up in time!
After several days of walking and stopping, we finally arrived at the foot of Suyu City.
After passing this city and passing through several mountains, we will reach the boundary of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
At this time, the city gates were wide open and there was a steady flow of passengers.
The few city guards didn't even check anyone coming in or out, and the defense here turned out to be useless!
But soon everyone knew that their judgment was wrong! As soon as they approached the city gate, a large number of young people in ordinary clothes poured out from nowhere. Their eyes were like knives and their movements were capable. At first glance, they looked like they had received special training.
people!
"What do you do?" One of the young men said coldly. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, and he seemed to be able to see through people's hearts!
Feng Jiuxiao showed her gold medal and said with a smile: "One of our own."
The young man was suddenly startled. His eyes quickly glanced at Feng Jiuxiao, and then he clasped his fists and said, "It turns out to be the deputy envoy. This subordinate is too blind to recognize Taishan. I hope you can forgive me!" Just as the others were about to clasp their fists and salute, Feng
Jiuxiao hurriedly stopped him: "I have something important to do, and it's not appropriate to expose my identity. Brothers, don't be too polite. You go about your business first. I will come to you if I have something to do!"
These people always acted vigorously and resolutely, and they all whispered: "Yes!" and dispersed without a trace in an instant.
The city defense here was originally loose on the outside and tight on the inside. It seemed that no one paid attention to the suspicious person. Unexpectedly, he was secretly targeted by the detectives of the Imperial City Department here!
As soon as we entered the city, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up!
Although Suyu City is an out-and-out border town, it is obviously different from the border towns in the Western Regions.
When it comes to the border of the Western Regions, what comes to everyone's mind immediately is the smoke in the desert, the camel bells, the sunset over the long river, and the wind and sand in the sky!
But here it is prosperous!
Cars are like flowing water, horses are like long queues, people are like tides, and it is noisy and lively!
Pang Shishi said: "There are so many people from the Southern Tang Dynasty here?"
No wonder he was surprised. Almost many shops directly stated "Jiangzhou Specialties from the Tang Dynasty", "Chizhou Special Brews from the Tang Palace", "Wuning Stick Fish", "Lushan Dried Bamboo Shoots", "Lushan Yunwu Tea", etc.
The shop sells all things from Southern Tang Dynasty!
The boss even wore Nan Tang style clothes.
Chili said: "It's not a merchant from Dazhou who is wearing Southern Tang people's clothes and hawking for a gimmick, right?"
In order to highlight the regional characteristics of the product, many people will pretend to be from the place of production. This kind of thing has happened before.
Feng Jiuxiao said: "No, you see, people from the Southern Tang Dynasty are usually more delicate in appearance and not too tall. Especially their accent is the hardest to fake. If you listen carefully, what they speak is all Southern Tang slang."
The Southern Tang Dynasty is also quite vast, and the accents in different places are not very uniform. For example, the accents of Chizhou people and Xuanzhou people are obviously different. As for Jiangzhou people, they have a different accent. Chili frowned and said: "Although they try their best to speak.
I lean on the official language, but I still don’t understand it, and everyone seems to say it differently!”
Feng Jiuxiao said: "If you stay here for a year, you will be able to understand each of their accents."
Duanmuyan said: "I suddenly felt that Qin Shihuang, the emperor, is really worthless. He deserves to be the emperor of the ages!"
"You mean he unified the writing?"
"Yes, books and cars share the same track, and the world is unified, but there is still one last step left. If it had been completed that year, it would have been another great feat!"
"You mean unified accent?"
"good!"
"But this is really difficult! There are not many literate people in the world, and the teacher who teaches people to read speaks with his own accent. If you want everyone in the world to speak with one accent, that is a huge project!
If the court pays for this expense, it simply cannot afford it! If it is left to the people to solve it themselves, it will be even more impossible! Because those who have the conditions are either rich or noble, and there are few people who can read and write, and those who can speak Mandarin will naturally
Even less! If you want to unify the accent," his eyes flashed, "unless someone unifies the world and uses great courage to devote all the efforts of the country to focus on this one thing for twenty years, maybe there will be a turn for the better!"
Chili Pepper said: "Isn't this a waste of time and money?"
Wang Sheng said: "That's right! I think it's good for each place to maintain its own slang. At least it retains its local cultural characteristics!"
Duan Muyan also said: "Yeah, I think it's just like people's clothes, being the same is a bit rigid. Only ever-changing and colorful colors can look good. Maintaining regional characteristics and local flavor is not only a kind of inheritance, but also another form of innovation!
"
Feng Jiuxiao's eyes flashed, "What are you two dear friends doing today? What they said was very profound. Especially what Brother Duanmu said, maintaining local characteristics is not only the inheritance of tradition, but also a disguised innovation. I think it's very...
It makes sense, when everyone wears the same kind of clothes, the traditional costumes from different places look different and eye-catching."
Pang Shishi said: "Brother, do you think the clothing of the Southern Tang Dynasty people is Tang suit?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Strictly speaking, it is no longer the real Tang Dynasty costume! The Li family of the Southern Tang Dynasty claimed to be the authentic descendants of the Tang family, so they tried their best to move closer to the Tang Dynasty style in all aspects. In theory, they
The clothing style of the Southern Tang Dynasty is closest to that of the Tang Dynasty. However, as far as I know, the clothing of the Southern Tang Dynasty has made many changes based on the original Tang Dynasty clothing. The reason is very simple: keep pace with the times and follow the local customs."
Pang Shiwu said: "It is necessary to maintain the original taste and reflect that they inherited the orthodoxy of the Southern Tang Dynasty. It must keep pace with the times and make changes. Only in this way can it show that the Li family does not stick to conventions, and the youth is better than the master. Do as the locals do, and take into account the local people."
The actual needs, especially catering to the local aristocratic families, can consolidate their dominance, right?"
Feng Jiuxiao was startled, and it took him a long time to speak, "Okay, Shi Shi, why did you suddenly become so powerful?" Pang Shi Shi's remarks really impressed him!
Pang Shiwu chuckled: "Didn't I learn it from you?"
Feng Jiuxiao coughed and said, "Let's stop complimenting each other. It's quite remarkable that you have such an opinion!"
At this time, a group of officers and soldiers came over. The first general, riding a tall horse and holding a red-tasseled spear, clasped his fists from a distance and said: "General Li Ruhai pays homage to the deputy envoy!"
Feng Jiuxiao clasped her fists and said with a smile: "I've seen General Li!"
Li Ruhai then rode his horse a few feet away and stopped in front of Feng Jiuxiao, and said with a smile, "Do you know the Spear King Ou Xi?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I know, how come you and he know each other?" He saw that the shape and size of Li Ruhai's red tassel gun were very similar to that of the gun king Ou Xi, and he had already suspected it.
Li Ruhai smiled and said: "He is the junior general's uncle!" He knew that Feng Jiuxiao and Ou Xi had a good relationship, so naturally he mentioned this first to deepen the deputy envoy's impression of him!
If you don't understand this, your job as an official will be over.
Fortunately, the deputy ambassador was sincerely happy when he heard Uncle Ou's name!
Li Ruhai is very happy now. Because God has given him a great opportunity. It depends on how he seizes it!
Thanks to: Benbenlong and Yudong for their strong support.
