405 Fars Province 3

After looking at it, Guo Jia said, "Lord, we should be prepared to take the unexpected happening. After all, we should stay away from our hometown, so it is better to be cautious."

After hearing this, Lu Ning said to Zhou Tai: "Youping, let the brothers tighten the inside and loosen the outside, and prepare for all kinds of battles."

Zhou Tai agreed and left. Lu Ning continued to observe the situation on the dock with his glasses. He saw that the captain who had just left the command ship of Lu Ning Jinyang had already led his men back to the dock. When he saw the general leading the team, he immediately went to report the situation he saw on the ship to the general. The general rode on the war horse and asked: "They are really from the country of Reis and sell silk cloth? Have you seen them when you get off their cabin? Have you seen their cargo?"

The captain was asked so many questions by the general riding on the war horse, which made the captain unable to answer. "Report to General, I... we didn't get out of the cabin to check, but the people on the boat were very friendly and even gave me a piece of cloth, which was smooth. I grew up so big and had never seen such good cloth. Please see, General."

Since Lu Ning and his fleet appeared in front of the dock, the team leader was even more nervous. After getting on Lu Ning's command ship, he first amazes the hugeness of Lu Ning's warship, and then beats Mi Tian and Darwin for a long time. Finally, he figured it out and was attracted by the silk that Lu Ning gave him. He had long thrown the cargo to the sky to check the cargo in Lu Ning's cabin, so he would remember to check the cargo. Now when he heard the general's inquiry, he was of course scared. After all, he was dereliction of duty. But in order to increase his persuasion, the team leader hurriedly took out the piece of silk that Lu Ning gave him from his arms and handed it to the general riding on the war horse.

Of course, the general riding on the war horse did not take the words of the team leader to heart. He only knew that the team leader was neglecting his duties and dereliction of duty. When he was about to teach the team leader a lesson, he suddenly saw the silk taken out of his arms. Beloved, this is the best silk. The team leader was just an ordinary civilian. He could not afford the silk from there. Even Lu Ning was a well-known figure in this Fars Province, and there was no half of silk until now, let alone a team leader. Although Lu Ning himself did not have such silk, the city lords and nobles in the city regarded this kind of silk as a treasure. The silk in his hand was better than the silk that the city lords and nobles had. It seemed that this kid had not told lies. Only such good silk could be produced by the distant Oriental Rees Kingdom.

The general riding on the war horse looked at the captain, and saw his panic look, and was too lazy to pay attention to it. He stroked the silk as smooth as flowing water with his hands. He knew that it was just this small piece of silk in his hand. If he was taken to the market in the city to trade, in order to compete for the ownership of the small piece of silk, the nobles in the city would probably start. If it was really as the captain said, the fifteen giant ships parked on the sea in the distance were full of this precious silk, then today would undoubtedly be a good day for Fars Province; the general riding on the war horse asked the captain in a trembling voice: "Is this really given to you by the people on the ship? Are you sure they really came here to sell this silk?"

The team leader looked at the general. How could this always steady general become so excited when he saw a small piece of silk today? But the team leader still answered seriously, "Report to the general, I don't understand what they said, nor do they understand what I said, but seeing what they gestured and said to me, it should be almost the same."

Although the captain's answer was not very affirmative, the general riding on the war horses didn't care about so much. He immediately ordered his soldiers to put away their weapons and sent people to return to the city to report to the city lord, saying that there was a fleet of Rees who sold silk and was asking to dock to conduct transactions with us.

The general riding a war horse jumped off the horse and pulled the squad leader to the beach, saying, "Hurry, take me to the merchant ship of the country of Ris." Although the squad leader felt uncomfortable being pulled by the general, he did not dare to resist at all. He followed the general onto a small boat and rowed towards Lu Ning's command ship.

When he arrived at Lu Ning's command ship, the general jumped from his boat to the rope net of the command ship without waiting for the boat to stop. In just a few strokes, he climbed up. The speed was so fast that Lu Ning and others were surprised. Zhou Tai said in Lu Ning's ear: "Lord, this person is extraordinary and a master." Dian Wei and Wei Yan next to him also nodded and agreed with Zhou Tai's statement.

When Lu Ning saw the general of Fars Province came on the ship in person, he took everyone to him and put on a bright sunny smile. When Lu Ning was about to let Darwin communicate with him, he heard the general stuttering and stammering in Roman dialect. "Are you here... to sell this kind of silk?"

Lu Ning was so happy when he heard this. If he could speak Roman, he would definitely understand Roman dialect so that Darwin would not be able to translate in a half-baked manner. "We are merchants who came to sell silk from the Han Empire. The piece of silk in your hand is the goods we sold this time. I wonder when we will be able to enter the dock to park?"

After hearing Lu Ning's Roman dialect, the general said, "Are you a merchant from the Ries Kingdom who specializes in producing this kind of silk?"

How could the people of Reis change our country's name? That's all. Although Lu Ning knew in his heart that in the West, China had been called Reis for a long time, Lu Ning still said to him very seriously: "It's the Han Empire, not the Reis."

After listening to Lu Ning's words, the general tried to speak in Chinese a few times. Although it still sounded unkind, it was all that. The general said to Lu Ning in Roman dialect again: "My name is Aman, I want to buy your silk, do you pay for it?"

You are not a little angry. You are just a famous general. Even the lord of your city in Fars Province will not be able to eat Lu Ning's goods alone. What are you kidding? Lu Ning looked up at the general named Oman, and then smiled and said to him: "My respected Oman General, you should be a famous general, but I don't know what you plan to pay for the silk fabric I sold to you?"

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Aman knew that what he said was too abrupt and blushed. After all, he had just heard that there was a locust-free ship docking, and he thought it was a Roman warship. He rushed out with his soldiers. Where would he carry coins? General Aman was also very embarrassed. He looked at his body and saw nothing valuable. What should he do? Aman gritted his teeth, took off his scimitar from his waist, and handed it to Lu Ning and said, "This is a good knife. You can do it if you can exchange for how much silk you can."

Lu Ning took the steel knife handed over by Oman, pulled out a piece, and looked carefully. He felt a carnival in his heart. Be good, this should be the Damascus steel knife. Damascus steel knife, as the three famous swords in the world, of course, Lu Ning is not unfamiliar with it. Although he has never seen a real sword, the unique patterns and shapes of the Damascus steel knife have been flying all over the sky on the web pages of later generations. Who has never seen it? Lu Ning was very excited and murmured to himself, "What a good sword, it is really a good sword, it is really worthy of being the three famous swords in the world."

In addition to being amazed, Lu Ning looked up at General Oman and then said in Roman dialect: "General Oman, to be honest, your knife is indeed a treasure knife, but I still can't explain how much silk fabric it can be exchanged for. According to convention, we have always settled it with gold. I have to discuss with my friends how much silk fabric your knife can be exchanged for before giving you a reply."

After hearing Lu Ning's words, Aman looked at the dock nervously, and then said to Lu Ning: "You can try the knife, but please hurry up, do you understand? I don't have much time."

After hearing this, Lu Ning was puzzled. He didn't have much time. What does this mean? Lu Ning couldn't understand, but he smiled and said, "Please rest assured, General Oman, it won't take up much time."

Lu Ning put the knife into the sheath, bowed slightly to General Oman, turned around and walked into the cabin with Guo Jia, Dian Wei, Zhou Tai, Wei Yan, Mi Tian. On the way, Zhou Tai couldn't help but say to Lu Ning: "Lord, what kind of good knife can make you happy like this, take it out and let us see you."

In order not to let Aman see the surprised expression of his subordinates when they saw the knife, Lu Ning specially led everyone into the cabin. After getting into the cabin, Lu Ning pulled out the blade. The pattern on the blade that looked like a master's work made everyone amazed. Even Guo Jia, who was always very calm, could not help but say: "My lord, I really didn't expect that there would be such a treasure sword in this wilderness overseas."

When Lu Ning saw Zhou Tai, Dian Wei and Wei Yan, his expressions were even more obvious. He stared at the steel knife and his eyes were still on. The expression in his eyes that he wanted to put it in his arms immediately made Lu Ning shudder in his heart. Be good, if he wanted them to watch again, it would cause several people to snatch it. In the eyes of green light, Lu Ning inserted the knife back into the sheath and said to them: "Don't worry, although this kind of knife cannot be as full as an ordinary iron knife, since he has arrived here, it will not disappoint you. I promise to let you all take one."

Lu Ning's words finally made them feel relieved, and they knew that Lu Ning could do it as soon as he said it. Lu Ning then said to them: "You can also tell me how much silk fabric can this knife be exchanged for us?"

Dian Wei was the first to say: "Lord, you can exchange twenty horses."

Zhou Tai said: "Lord, thirty horses."

After hearing this, Lu Ning glanced at them and said slowly: "I think it's almost the same to give him a piece of silk cloth."

Wei Yan exclaimed: "What lord, you say a piece of silk? No, how is this possible?"

After listening to it, Dian Wei whispered: "My lord, you are too... too dark, it's too dark. Although silk is rare in our great man, it's not so expensive. Just the treasure knife in your hand, if it is placed in the Central Plains, it is possible to cause a few lives. The lord actually only exchanges for someone with a piece of silk for others." After saying that, he kept shaking his head, even Guo Jia and others cursed Lu Ning's despicableness in his heart.
