Pei Min and Aweiye walked towards the Chang'an official residence.

Bored all the way, Aviye told Pei Min about some of Kendrick's early deeds.

Kendrick's father was actually a general of the Byzantine Empire, and in their words, he was the descendant of the general.

"When the Arabs attacked Byzantine, Kendrick's father Boxhall was the governor of Egypt. The Arabs were numerous and powerful. Boxhall could not resist and asked for reinforcements from the Byzantine Emperor Lio III, but he did not get the approval. The Byzantine Emperor planned to give up Egypt, and Boxhall was unfortunately killed in battle. Kendrick's mother was unwilling to return to her cold-blooded homeland and surrendered to the Arabs with Kendrick. Kendrick was unwilling to serve the Arabs and became a mercenary. Kendrick was an upright, brave and selfless warrior, loyal to his faith. As long as he promised, he would do it to death."

"No wonder!" Pei Min said: "I just think that Kendrick will automatically appear in some key places in the Jincheng Tower. It turns out that he is behind the general and is familiar with military affairs."

As they were just talking, they had already arrived at the Chang'an Government Office. The highest-level chief of the government office was the Chief Secretary of Yongzhou. When they learned about Pei Min's purpose, they ordered the release without saying a word.

China has been a human society from ancient times to the present. Pei Min is a celebrity in front of Li Longji and the chief of the Censorate. As long as it is not a big mistake, no one will not sell Pei Min's face.

Kendrick's crime was at best to disrupt the market and stayed in the market for three, five, six and seven days. As for fighting but not fighting, Guanzhong was already a martial arts trend. As for private competitions, as long as it did not harm the fish or injured people's lives, the government turned a blind eye, which was not a big deal. If they hadn't made trouble in the West Market and smashed the blacksmith shop, no one would have paid attention to them.

"Zhongcheng, should that Wu Xuan be released together, or should he be imprisoned?" Yongzhou Changshi smiled very happily. He was really happy to be able to sell Pei Min for his face. He didn't expect the Censorate to take advantage of public service to his private interests. He had some unintentional minor mistakes. With the face of Pei Min, the Censorate might let him go. He had good luck, and left a good impression on Pei Min. In front of the emperor, his official fortune would come.

When Pei Min heard this, he was an old acquaintance and smiled and said, "Let me let you go together. Let them pay as much compensation as possible. It's not a big deal, so there is no need to be detained."

Wu Xuan has a certain reputation in the martial arts world of Yongzhou. His swordsmanship is quite exquisite and he is a quasi-first-class expert. He cannot rank in Chang'an, where he hides dragons and lies in his tigers. He has the advantage of being generous, eager to be righteous, and has the reputation of Sai Mengchang, and has a very high reputation. Wu Yuan is his son...

Soon, Kendrick and Wu Xuan released them together, and the two stared at each other, looking like they hadn't played enough.

The Chief of the Yongzhou Emperor came to the two and said, "This competition does not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty, but it is not necessary to destroy the shop and disturb the people. Pei Zhongcheng told you about the first crime. I will not pursue the investigation. I will make up for the losses of the blacksmith shop and the case will be eliminated for you. I will give up the matter."

Kendrick and Wu Xuan were delighted. If it were not necessary, who would have been to jail, let me thank Pei Min.

Pei Min asked about the reason for the fight.

Kendrick stared at Wu Xuan and said, "It's him, I want to steal my knife!"

Wu Xuan glared back without being outdone, "It's you who provoked you first!"

...

They each fought each other, but they almost started fighting.

Pei Min also learned the reason from their arguments: it is all because of cultural differences.

Wu Xuan is an expert in swordsmanship and loves treasure swords very much. Kendrick's red sword was forged by famous Western countries in the Tubo Flame Mountains. Although it is not as good as Pei Min's Qinhuang Sword, it is also a rare weapon.

Wu Xuan was jealous and wanted to see if there was a chance to buy it.

When Kendrick saw Wu Xuan's attention when he hit him with a sword, he did not give him a good look and said, "Only I am qualified to have it!"

Wu Xuan felt that Kendrick looked down on him and wanted to challenge him. Kendrick thought that Wu Xuan was going to rob his knife, so he started fighting vigorously and smashed the blacksmith shop directly.

Pei Min smiled bitterly and explained the reason.

Kendrick, Wu Xuan realized that he had made a big mistake.

Pei Min said: "As the saying goes, we won't know each other without fighting. Today's things are like this. Let's go to our mansion to have a drink together. There are some great imperial wines in our mansion. I originally planned to leave it for me, Brother Zhang, and I will make an exception to take a jar and don't go back until I get drunk..."

In ancient times, wine was a necessity.

Few people are not good at siping, but they heard that there is good wine, but it is still from the imperial gift. Wu Xuan and Aweiye's eyes are shining. As for Kendrick's response, it is usually because he is not in the imperial wine. What kind of wine is it, and his Chinese language is only at the entry level.

Pei Mansion!

What Li Longji gave Pei Min was the authentic Fenjiu from Xinghua Village.

After a slow fire, Fenjiu filled the entire hall with the smell of apricot blossoms.

Wu Xuan raised his glass and said, "Pei Zhongcheng, you are half a person in the world. Wu doesn't want to say more about the extra words. Wu remembers the kindness of your help today. If you send someone in the future, come from the water and go from the fire, I, Wu Xuan, will never beat me up."

Pei Min replied, "It's just a matter of raising hands. Brother Wu said that Pei is half a member of the world. People in the world act, loyalty is the first priority and help each other. This is a matter of duty, so there is no need to worry about it."

Although Kendrick had let go of Wu Xuan's robbery of his sword, he was still resentful and did not want to be weaker than others. He asked Wu Xuan to compete and said, "Mr. Zhongcheng, Kendrick also owe you a great favor. What do I need to do for you? You can just say it."

Pei Min narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I'm not polite. I heard that you are the son of Governor Box Hall, who is proficient in military affairs. I can see that your sword and shield are the skills of killing enemies on the battlefield. If you live as a mercenary, you are really talented. You might as well be arguing for me, Datang. I recommend you to serve my Taigong. How about serving for me Datang?" He said that he was going to join Xue Na, but in fact he asked Xue Na to help him raise generals. Now he has not yet released Kendrick, so that he can familiarize himself with the military system of the Tang Dynasty. When the time is right, he will come back with Xue Na.

Kendrick stayed for a while and was a little moved. After he was a descendant of Sparta, the Spartans all reflected their value on the battlefield, tempering their own force through killing on the battlefield, rather than being a mercenary to prove themselves. However, there are only two major countries in the West, one is the Byzantine Empire that abandoned his father, and the other is the Arab Empire that killed his father. Neither of these two empires were his targets. As for other small and weak countries, they had no prospects. They either depended on the two great empires, or the wind blew the fence-bearing grass on both sides, and could not see the future. Kendrick could only live as a mercenary and polished himself through killing of mercenaries. He traveled back and forth many times to the Western Regions, and had heard a lot about the Tang Empire. He knew that the Tang Dynasty was broad-minded and had many generals like him, which became the cornerstone of the Tang Empire's attention. It would be a good thing to gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty.

Without too much hesitation, Kendrick said: "Okay, I promise Master Zhongcheng that I will return to Damacus immediately after I send Aviye back to Damacus."

Aviye made Kendrick unnecessary to care about the contract.

Kendrick insisted: "The descendants of Sparta never violated their promises for the sake of their interests!"

Pei Min smiled and said, "It's okay, it's important to keep your promises, and it's also a noble virtue in China. Kendrick is not moved by interests, so it's worth a drink."

People in the martial arts world value trust and righteousness, and Wu Xuan also raised his glass and said, "It's a man, I'll give you a glass."

Pei Min invited Aviye to a banquet. Kendrick wanted to learn about the situation of the Arab Empire and Byzantine Empire, and when he was drunk, he also brought the topic there.

Aviye, Kendrick, one is a businessman and the other is a mercenary. He has no patriotic sentiment and can speak everything.

The Arab Empire was originally the chief of the tribal alliance. After nearly a hundred years of expansion, its structure had fundamental changes, and it became a theocratic monarch like the Tang Dynasty, and established its own bureaucratic system. They expanded from all directions over the past hundred years:

The Eastern Army marched into the six grassland areas in Central Asia, and was invincible all the way until it bordered the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty and the Hindu Kush Mountains on the borders of western Tubo and northwest in the Pamir Plateau.

The Southern Army invaded the Indus River Basin and conquered the large and small states in the northwest of the sub-largest 6 of India.

The 6th Western Army destroyed the last garrison of the Byzantine Empire in northern Africa, occupied vast lands from Tunisia to Morocco, and crossed the Strait of Gibraltar to expedition to Spain, conquering the Visigothic Kingdom.

The Northern 6th Army captured a large territory of the Byzantine Empire and even came to the city of Constantinople.

Listening to the blooming of the Great Food Kingdom on all sides, Pei Min's heart was inevitably thrilled. The two empires of the East and the West will eventually show up. The Tang Dynasty was defeated in history, and this time it will definitely not!

Aviye said: "Byzantium was not an opponent of the Arabs, but the Byzantium had a mysterious weapon, which was particularly powerful. It could spray more than ten feet of flames and burn on the water. The Arab naval army was wiped out! Only then did Byzantium avoid the danger of destruction..."

When Pei Min heard this, his heart moved: the words "Greek Fire" blurted out.

Aviye and Kendrick both looked at Pei Min in surprise.

Aviye said: "I didn't expect that in the distant Tang Dynasty, I also heard of Greek fire!"

Pei Min nodded. Of course he had heard of it. When he was reading world history in later generations, he had especially learned about the magical liquid weapon "Greek Fire".

The Byzantines used Greek fire to repel the Arab army many times, and the Arab army used Greek fire to repel the European Crusaders many times. When black gunpowder was not widely used, Greek fire could be said to be the first chemical weapon.

In his memory, the key component of the Greek fire was the key oil, and China has never produced a lot of oil. Research in this area is indeed inferior.

This high-tech that can spray more than ten feet of flames requires a way to get it!
