Chapter 627: Transmission portal
Holding the transmission portal scroll in his hand, he looked left and right, and then quickly shook his head and said, "I don't dare to admit it. Although I have never used it before, I often come back and forth between Norma and Big Tang. I've heard of it in the border city. This is the strategic transmission portal scroll that the western countries often use when they transport troops for a long distance. It's so precious, and I dare not accept it."
"Well, don't be so formal with me," Robb said, "do you think I don't know the rules of the east? In the East, when I meet people who are congenial to me, it's natural for them to offer me gold and silver when they go on a long journey."
Robb said it casually. He didn't expect that people of Big Tang in this world did have such a normal operation.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
Robb told him the rules of the use of the transmission portal scroll.
Shang Yang quickly bowed to him and said, "you're so kind. So, if I don't go in myself, the portal won't disappear, right? Then I'll ask my daughter to take her servants home first and let them buy some gold and silver jewelry for the priest to repay for saving my life."
Robb smiled and shook his head. "No, thanks. Do I look like someone who lacks gold and silver jewelry?"
"Well..." Shang Yang said, "then what do you want? Our clan will find anything from the East for you."
"Well, something I really want..." Robb touched his chin and chuckled, "I want Longjing tea. Haha, Longjing tea!"
"Ah? The priest has indeed been to Big Tang to visit. He even knows about the special product of Slender West Lake of Yangzhou City, Longjing." the rabbit man made a long bow and said, "this thing is in my house. I can bring it to you as soon as I open the transmission portal. In the future, you can ask for as much as you want. I'm sure you can drink enough."
Slender West Lake of Yangzhou? Hearing this place, Robb was stunned for a moment. [did I say the wrong name? Oh, it seems that there is a great difference between Big Tang of this world and the map of my original world.]
"Longjing tea is not enough to repay your kindness. What else do you want?"
"Oh, then I won't be so polite." Robb began to report, "Candied fruit, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, mung bean cake, eight treasures congee, glutinous rice rolls with sweet bean sauce, crisp cake...."
As soon as he said that, his saliva began to flow down. Everything was fine, but after having not eaten these traditional snacks for so long, he had long been crazy about it.
Shang Yang shook his head. "We don't want to step into the territory of Norma anymore."
Robb asked, "then what should we do?"
After thinking for a while, he took out a map from his pocket and put it on the table in front of Robb. "We can't go on the silk road. The only way we can do now is to follow the Ancient Tea-Horse Road."
"Ancient Tea-Horse Road? What the hell?" Robb asked, "I've only heard of the Silk Road, but I've never heard of the Ancient Tea-Horse Road."
"The silk road is a road from the north to the west, and the Ancient Tea-Horse Road is a road from the south to the West. When merchants of our kingdom are in business with Norma, they usually take the Silk Road, and when they are in business with the Kingdom of Gran, they usually take the Ancient Tea-Horse Road."
Robb was in high spirits and said, "tell me in detail."
"Please look at the map..."
The Ancient Tea-Horse Road was set out from Yangzhou City, Slender West Lake, the sacred tea making place of the Big Tang. It passed through Lijiang, Longyin Town, Chibi and Baidi City, and then passed through ancient Yangtze River Road and DongWang City. Most of them were extremely difficult to go through.
Robb only took a look at the map and felt it was "difficult".
"Although it's difficult, it's the only way for us to go home now," said the merchant. "But there's nothing to be afraid of. We can even overcome the desert on the Silk Road, so there's nothing we can't walk on this mountain road. Anyway, we're going to do business in Norma again in the future. So why don't we go through the ancient tea horse road and do business with the kingdom in the future as well?"
