The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

Li Shimin said, let him go back to the mansion to rest, Zhong Wen would not care about these things.

Besides, Zhong Wen had already made a decision, so let's leave it alone.

As long as nothing major happened, Zhong Wen would never intervene.

As for the whereabouts of the three major sects in Zhongnan Mountain, Zhong Wen asked Li Shan's Baiqi Division to find out. As long as there is news, he will definitely go to check.

If you let yourself search all over the world alone, you don't know that you will be able to find it in the year of the monkey.

One morning, the concierge suddenly trotted to the pavilion where Zhong Wen usually stayed, "Master Daoist, someone is asking to see you, it seems to be a woman."

When Zhong Wen saw that the porter came to report that there was a woman seeking to see him, he didn't quite understand, so he asked, "Woman? Do you have a greeting card?"

"Respondent Daoist, I didn't invite you, and I didn't say who it is." The porter responded.

"Then you bring her here." Although Zhong Wen was puzzled, he thought that those who could come to his house were either acquaintances or family members of acquaintances.

However, in terms of acquaintances and women, there seem to be few.

However, among these few, there must be one, that is, Guo Lin, the daughter of Hou Guo Baoyi in Luonan County, who gave Zhong Wen a headache.

However, after coming to Chang'an this time, this Miss Guo Lin Guo never came to look for him, and it was even more impossible for Zhong Wen to ask about it.

It was too late to escape, so how could they ask Guo Lin.

Not long after, the concierge came over with a woman with a face scarf on her face, followed by two people, and among those two was a person Zhong Wen had seen before.

That's right, the person who came was none other than Sakurako Amano from the Fusang Kingdom Mission, and one of the two behind her was a master of the innate realm.

Amano Yingzi came not far from the pavilion, took off her kerchief, bowed to Zhong Wen and said: "Zhong Changshi is well, Amano Yingzi came uninvited, please forgive Zhong Changshi."

Zhong Wen stood in the pavilion, looking at the daughter of the elder brother of Fusang Country, and also guessing in his heart, is there something wrong with Amano Sakurako coming to his house?

Zhong Wen couldn't figure out why this woman came here, but he could also know that she came here, it must be for the things he asked for in the court last time, but since he is only a county lord, even if he is a regular attendant, he has the authority to mobilize troops and horses However, it is not his turn to decide the matter of aiding other countries.

Zhong Wen then turned to Amano Yingzi and said: "Anyone who comes is a guest, please sit down!"

Zhong Wen stretched out his hand, signaling Amano Sakurako to sit down and talk.

Although Zhong Wen didn't like the people of Fusang very much, but they had closed their doors, and it would be nothing if they were driven out, but Zhong Wen's curiosity made Zhong Wen really want to know why Amano Sakura came to his house.

"I don't know if your Excellency came to my house, what's the matter?" Zhong Wen saw Amano Sakura sitting down, and he sat down and asked.

"Please forgive Zhong Changshi, I heard someone said that Zhong Changshi is good at eating delicious food, so Yingzi came here uninvited this time, firstly, to visit Zhong Changshi, and secondly, Yingzi also brought some of my food. For the delicacies in my hometown, I also ask Zhong Changshi to give pointers." While talking, Amano Yingko gestured to one of her followers.

And the attendant came over with a food box in his hand, put it on a stone table in the pavilion, and then turned around and stood up.

Sakurako Amano didn't wait for Zhong Wen to speak, she directly opened the food box, and took out some so-called delicacies from the food box.

At this moment, Zhong Wen looked at Sakurako Amano in front of him like a fool, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd.

delicacy?

Is there any gourmet food in Fusang?

Do you want yourself to be ashamed and drink blood?Or are you going to let yourself eat fish raw?

As far as Zhong Wen knows, Fusang Kingdom seems to like to eat raw fish fillets.

The Fusang country is surrounded by the sea, and the only food that can be eaten is probably fish.

However, this way of eating raw fish has long existed in the Tang Dynasty, and, as far as Zhong Wen knows, many restaurants in Chang'an City basically have this way of eating, but Zhong Wen doesn't like it.

Besides, the way of eating raw fish in Fusang Kingdom was passed down from China.

The earliest record of eating raw fish is recorded in "Qi Min Yao Shu".

Moreover, when Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty toured the south of the Yangtze River to Suzhou in the previous dynasty, the local officials, in order to prepare delicacies for Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty, once made Emperor Yang of Sui appreciate him with a "golden jade gratin".

But this time, a princess from the Fusang Kingdom brought their delicacies from the island country to Zhongwen as a treasure. This really made Zhongwen have no other possibilities except Yusheng.

However, when Ye Yingzi took out the so-called delicious food from the food box that day, Zhong Wen discovered that it was not raw fish, but sushi.

Chapter 4 Eleven

Speaking of which, this Fuso sushi originally came from China.

According to records, when China was at the end of Han Dynasty, China already had sushi.

However, at that time it was not called sushi, but bream.

In fact, after cooking something like rice noodles, wrap some fish or other things, it becomes a kind of food that can be carried at any time.

And as the Fusang Kingdom sent envoys to Huaxia, they learned the Chinese characters of Huaxia, and gradually brought the Chinese culture to the past.

In addition to Chinese characters, the others are even more unknown.

For example, this bream was passed on to Fusang Kingdom.

After the food of bream was introduced to Fusang, after years of evolution, it was not until the Nara era of Fusang that the bream was refined, and at the same time, a new word, sushi, was evolved.

However, this is called sushi bream, but the patterns are becoming more and more sophisticated.

Speaking of it, it is also because of the short stature of the Fusang people, and the limited food, there is not much food to eat, so they are getting smaller and smaller, and this has become the sushi we see now.

The sushi is very similar to the bream rice noodles of the Tang Dynasty, except that it is fine and short, it is more abundant.

As far as Tang Guo's bream rice noodles are concerned, they are very rough.

After all, food like sushi is only limited to Fuso or some oceanic island countries where food is in short supply, and it is absolutely impossible to reproduce in a land like Tang country.

One bite at a time, after eating it, you will not be able to resist hunger at all, and the fish itself is not a high-fat food, so it is not acceptable to the people of Tang Dynasty.

When Zhong Wen saw what Sakurako Amano got out of the food box, there was no reaction on his face at all.

In fact, food is just a must for Zhong Wen, but not everything can catch his eyes.

Just like this sushi, Zhong Wen doesn't like it very much.

To put it bluntly, this originates from Zhong Wen's previous life.

In his previous life, Zhong Wen lived in an old revolutionary base on the western border of Gan Province. In his memory, there was nothing similar to sushi there.

Even the people in the original hometown do not eat cold dishes, and the food culture is completely different from other places.

Zhong Wen remembered that in his previous life, when he left his hometown for the first time, he ate twice-cooked pork for the first time.

The main reason is that he doesn’t have this kind of food in his hometown, and he doesn’t have any kind of bean paste, and he doesn’t know how to stir-fry like this. All he eats are home-grown and the original taste.

However, after Da Zhongwen ate twice-cooked pork for the first time, he couldn't put it down again.

Perhaps, food is something that exists in the bones of Chinese people.

No matter where you are, the food in your hometown can arouse anyone's memories.

However, Zhong Wen at this time has no memories, only disgust.

Yes, Zhong Wen disliked it.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was a guest at the door, Zhong Wen wouldn't even talk to the member of the Fusang Mission.

Moreover, I was above the court a few days ago, so I 100% refused Tang's assistance to Fusang.

But at this moment, Sakura Amano didn't know what An was thinking, and what food she brought to visit Zhong Wen. This was obviously a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken.

"Zhong Changshi, this is Yingzi's own food from Fusang Kingdom, please Zhong Changshi taste it." Amano Yingzi motioned Zhong Wen to taste the food she brought.

"No need, I'm used to eating food from my own house, and I don't dare to try things I don't know." Zhong Wen refused.

Yes, it is to directly refuse without leaving any room.

Regardless of Amano Sakurako's intentions and purpose, in short, Zhong Wen thought in his heart that he didn't want to have too many interactions, and just lived his own life in peace.

"That's a pity. Yingzi heard that Zhong Changshi likes food, but she didn't expect Zhong Changshi to be such a conservative person." Amano Yingzi laughed.

"Yes, I am very conservative as you said. For example, when I sent troops from the Tang Dynasty to help you in the Fusang Kingdom, I was also very conservative, so you should understand what I said." Zhong Wen really didn't like it. What kind of encounters have there been with the Bangfusang people? The meaning in the words is already clear about the intention of seeing off guests.

"My Fusang country and Tang country are neighbors separated by a strip of water. Does Zhong Changshi dislike my Fusang country so much? Although my Fusang country is not as powerful as Tang country, my Fusang country is also rich in products. If Zhong Changshi is free , you can also enter our Fusang country, and when the time comes, Yingzi will sweep the couch to welcome you." Amano Yingzi has already heard the meaning of Zhong Wen's words, but she will not choose to leave just like that.

"Do you really understand the culture of my Tang country? Then you know? The term "a strip of water" does not mean that my Tang country and your Fusang country are separated by thousands of miles of sea." Zhong Wen ridiculed road.

In fact, a strip of water does not refer to the Fusang Kingdom, but to the former dynasty and the Chen Dynasty. Similarly, it refers to the Yangtze River, not the sea.

Listening to what Zhong Wen said, Amano Sakurako was also thinking about whether she could achieve her goal in visiting Zhong Wen today.

But given the current situation, it seemed impossible, which really made her a little anxious.

Just one idiom left her speechless in rebuttal. If she continued to say it, she might not be able to impress Zhong Wen with anything.

"May I ask Zhong Changshi, there is nothing wrong with my Fusang country, why is Zhong Changshi so displeased? Is it because my Fusang country is an island country?" Amano Sakura asked, staring at Zhong Wen.

"Hehe." Zhong Wen sneered, but did not answer.

However, it was Zhong Wen's sneer that made Amano Sakura feel that Zhong Wen's sneer was mocking her Fusang country.

"I know that Zhong Changshi is a big celebrity in front of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Even nobles from all over the world can't be seen. Amano Yingko came to visit Zhong Changshi this time, not to ask Zhong Changshi, but just to let Zhong Changshi Please change some prejudices against me, Fusang Kingdom." Sakurako Amano said quietly.

"Perhaps, Zhong Changshi doesn't like the idea that Fusang Kingdom has you, but now, my father is in danger. This time Yingzi entered Tang Dynasty, he just wanted to save my father. Even if the imperial power of Fusang Kingdom is not wanted, I hope Tang Kingdom can help My father survived this catastrophe, as a daughter, I don't want my father to die in the struggle for imperial power, is this also wrong?"

"What does Zhong Changshi think about my Fusang country? Please Zhong Changshi speak up. Yingzi can admit my mistakes on my behalf. I just hope that Zhong Changshi will not stop the emperor of Tang when he is in the court. Here, Yingzi I kneel down and thank Zhong Changshi."

As soon as Amano Yingzi finished speaking, she got up straight away, as she said, she knelt down to Zhong Wen to show her sincerity.

At this time, Zhong Wen also stood up and turned to one side.

Zhong Wen can accept others kneeling to thank him, but Zhong Wen does not dare to accept Amano Sakurako kneeling in Fusang Kingdom, Zhong Wen still wants to live a few more years.

"It's useless for you to kneel down and thank me. I can't stop my Tang emperor's thoughts. As a subject, I will naturally not violate the Holy Majesty's will. As for what the Tang emperor and the court officials think and make decisions, I can't control it, and I can't stop it."

"You came to my house because you hoped that I would not interfere with the affairs of your Fusang country and the affairs of North Korea. It is not my turn to intervene. As long as you don't cause trouble in Chang'an, everything else is up to you."

Zhong Wen looked at Amano Sakurako and said.

In fact, Zhong Wen already made a plan when he was kicked out of the palace by Li Shimin that day, and he would not participate in the affairs of the court.

Even if this Sakura Amano didn't come, it would be impossible for Zhong Wen to return to the court.

Even if Li Shimin came to invite him, Zhong Wen would at most choose to be a spectator and would never say a word.

Stubbornness, or this kind of stubbornness towards state affairs, will always appear in Zhong Wen's body.

"What does Zhong Changshi mean by this?" Amano Yingzi was really puzzled when she heard Zhong Wen's words, and she stood up and asked respectfully.

These days, she, who was already anxious, only went to pay a visit to a few dignitaries, and even paid a visit to two dukes.

As for the other senior court officials, they didn't even enter the door.

The news that can be obtained is nothing more than that the affairs of the court that day were all blocked by Zhong Wen, the regular attendant, and even the appearance of Empress Changsun was on Zhong Wen's body.

Therefore, Amano Sakurako came here this time to find out some news from Zhong Wen's mouth. Similarly, she also came to dispel some of Zhong Wen's prejudices about Fusang Kingdom.

But what Zhong Wen said just now, to Amano Sakurako's ears, it didn't feel like that, which made her very confused.

"Okay, this is the end of the conversation, please." Zhong Wen didn't want to say more, and stretched out his hand to show off the guests.

Xu Fu, who was not far away, saw that Zhong Wen had stretched out his hand, and trotted over quickly.

Xu Fu was not at the mansion at first, but rushed back after hearing the notice from the servants to go to the restaurant.

Few people from the house came, and even if they did, they were all acquaintances.

For example, Chen Chunsheng, Li Shan, Jin Shui and other acquaintances.

When acquaintances come to the house, the servants basically know how to entertain them.

But today some strangers came, so naturally Xu Fu, the butler, had to entertain them. Therefore, when Zhong Wen was talking with Amano Sakurako and the others, Xu Fu had already come to wait not far from the pavilion.

"My respected guest, please, our permanent attendants still need to sit quietly and understand." Xu Fu stretched out his hand, signaling Amano Yingko and the others to leave quickly.

Amano Yingko still hasn't understood what Zhong Wen said just now, but everyone has issued an order to evict guests, so she naturally knows that several of them should leave.

Immediately, he bowed to Zhong Wen and said: "I have disturbed you a lot today, I hope Zhong Changshi will forgive me, and I will come to chatter again when Yingzi is free someday."

Afterwards, Xu Fu led Amano Yingko and the others away.

However, before leaving, the innate master who was following Amano Sakurako looked back at Zhong Wen with suspicion in his eyes.

He just waited quietly, staring at Zhong Wen.

He could tell from Zhong Wen's actions, or some actions, that Zhong Wen seemed to be a martial arts practitioner, but he couldn't perceive the existence of inner energy from Zhong Wen, which made him a little curious and suspicious of Zhong Wen .

Chapter 4 Twelve

Amano Sakurako and the others called on Zhong Wen, and it ended so simply and quickly.
