However, hearing the worried and cowardly Bi Cheng who was standing at the side, Xiao Wen did not care about the upcoming war. He said to Bi Cheng with hatred for him being a disappointment to him, "Brat, first listen to what these people have to say!" Then, he grabbed a ranger covered in blood, threw him to the corner of the wall, and carelessly stepped on his opponent's forehead.
Then he began to interrogate the fellow. At first, everyone thought that Xiao Wen would ask them who he was and who he was. However, Xiao Wen's method of interrogation had greatly surprised them — in 1268, the lens used for optical purposes was first recorded by Roger Bacon of England. However, at the same time, magnifying the lens in the frame for reading has appeared in Europe and China. There has always been a debate about whether the glasses were passed from Europe to China or from China to Europe.
In Europe, the earliest glasses appeared in Italy, introduced by Alessandrodi Spinaa of Florence. The earliest bespectacled portrait, "Hughof Provenance", was painted by Tommasoda Modena in 1352. As a result, in this world, even the people of Han and Qin Kingdom knew a lot about glasses.
Returning to the main topic, Xiao Wen who was standing on the ranger at the corner asked: "Will the next line of the imperial court lead to death by night, or die late?"
Hearing Xiao Wen's question, the group looked at each other in dismay. Even if they were not Confucian Scholars who were familiar with the Confucian classics, they had heard that death was not a nightly death, nor was it a late death! He was clearly a scholar, but he actually made such a mistake. Everyone couldn't help but want to go up and correct Xiao Wen's mistake.
Just at this time, Sun Shangxiang's eyes turned as he thought of a possibility. She quickly stopped the others and let them wait and see. The fellow whose head was being stepped on was panicking and scared. When had he ever read before? He had never read a book, so how could he know?
Forget it! The ranger, whose head was being stepped on, did not know which to choose. Helpless, he could only say, "Die at night, die at night!"
Hearing that, Xiao Wen revealed a smile as though he had succeeded in his conspiracy. He used his sign language to speak to Yang Xiu and Zhuge Liang: "Prepare the brush and ink, record the interrogation record. This guy hasn't read a book. "
Hearing this, Bi Cheng who had never learnt sign language and had no idea what was going on, felt better. Xiao Wen's students had all learned Sign Language, so they all knew what that meant. At this moment, Zhuge Liang was the first to react. He took out two brushes and a piece of ink from his sleeve. Yang Xiu also took out a few pieces of paper.
These things were all things that Xiao Wen had asked them to prepare regularly. Thus, after they asked Bi Cheng for some water, they quickly made preparations to record the information.
They kneeled on the ground, placed the brush and ink paper on the table, and quickly recorded the results of the interrogation that Xiao Wen had given out using his sign language. At this time, Bi Cheng walked over. He saw the beautiful words that Yang Xiu had practiced from a young age. He did not know that Yang Xiu was the eldest son of the aristocratic family and was trained by others at home, so he thought that Yang Xiu had done this because of him. Hence, he had great respect for Xiao Wen.
Following that, he saw the result of Xiao Wen's recording just now — the target of the interrogation had not been read!
The moment he saw this shoe, he was enlightened. He instantly understood everything.
It seemed that these people had never read a book, so they were not Confucian Scholars. And the way they were dressed as Confucian Scholars, it was clear that they were here to cause trouble.
Then, he heard Xiao Wen continue to ask: "Are you a travelling adventurer who lives in the East City or the Western City?"
Hearing that, the travelling adventurer coughed twice and said, "Sir, please don't joke around. How can there be anyone living in this Luoyang West Market? If the soldiers in the city find out that we live here, they'll beat us to a pulp. "
Hearing that, Xiao Wen nodded. He continued to wave his hands towards Zhuge Liang and Yang Xiu, saying, "They are rangers, rangers from the Luoyang, and they aren't from outside this region."
Hearing Xiao Wen's words, Zhuge Liang and Yang Xiu could not help but sigh at Xiao Wen's actions. However, they quickly recorded this information down.
When Bi Cheng, who was at the side saw this paragraph of information, instantly felt deep veneration for this senior brother of his. He truly deserved to be called the burly man's envoy. He truly deserved to be called the burly man's good deed. As expected, compared to a socialite like this, he, the owner of the shop, was like a fledgling. It seemed that there was a reason why Xiao Wen could become an official and he could only do business.
It seemed that this Senior Brother Xiao Wen might be the second grandmaster in this trash clan to deal with a country as a transaction item after the ancestor, Lv Buwei. He seemed to have already seen that in the future, Xiao Wen would have thousands of Guest, just like in the past. All the burly men had to respectfully call him Xiao Xiang when they saw him.
"With Senior Brother Xiao Wen, I don't have any worries about not reviving!" All sorts of fantasies, all sorts of emotions, and finally, the exchange rate turned into a single sentence, which rang in Bi Cheng's mind.
Then, he heard Xiao Wen say: "Your mission this time, is to kill me or capture me? If you're here to kill me, then I'll have to kill you. But if you're just here to catch me, there's a way to survive. "
As he spoke, he placed the sword against his opponent's neck. It was as though if the opponent said they were here to kill him, they would be stabbed to death.
Feeling chills on his neck, how could that travelling adventurer dare to say he was the first one to choose? He quickly shouted, "Master, we are only here to capture you. I didn't want to hurt your life! Sir, please be magnanimous and spare me! "
Hearing this, Xiao Wen nodded his head in satisfaction. He kept his sword back into the sword sheath and gestured towards Zhuge Liang and Yang Xiu: "This guy's target is me, although I don't know if he's here to kill me or to catch me, or to choose to grab and kill depending on the situation. But at the very least, their target is me. "
"What are you doing?"
At this moment, a group of soldiers suddenly walked to the door. Even before they entered, they could smell the stench of blood on their faces. It was clear that there was a murder.
As guards who maintained the stability of the market, in the face of such a serious situation, how could they dare to be negligent? Thus, they hurriedly rushed in, unsheathed their blades, and put on their guards.
Especially when they saw the people lying on the ground, judging from their attire, they were all warriors of the Songyang Academy, they were even more nervous. After all, a scholar held a very high status in the Tang Kingdom. If he was a travelling adventurer, then so be it. This kind of trash society would benefit society at least if he died. But now that there was a scholar who had died here, no matter what, they could not afford to be negligent.
They all looked at the people in the shop seriously, especially Xiao Wen who stepped on a scholar in the corner, as if he would rush up to them at any time.
At this time, Anthony was also looking at this group of soldiers from the Tang Kingdom. As the Centurion of the Janissary Guard in the defeated empire, although Anthony did not have the confidence to win against the officers and even soldiers of the Great Tang Dynasty's Black Armor Army in a one on one battle situation, he also didn't have the confidence. However, these were merely troops maintaining security in the capital city of the Tang Empire.
As a soldier of the Eastern Roman Empire, he had never felt that the city police were any powerful existence, so he was confident in beating them all up, even if they were armed to the teeth.
But now, these soldiers were fully armed, and there were more than ten of them. However, Anthony's weapon was extremely simple and crude. Hence, he knew that no matter what, he wasn't a match for the group of soldiers in front of him.
Helpless, he could only retreat, and said to Xiao Wen: "Sir, I am not their match. It's up to you! "
Xiao Wen rolled his eyes, and said: "When did I want to fight with them? Don't spout nonsense. It's because of what you just said. If we were to fight, you have to be in charge. Do you understand? "
Anthony was stumped, not knowing what to do.
