Chapter 2346 Seeing the Technique
A middle-aged man next to Arthur spoke to Etan in a low voice.
They came from the Western Regions and stayed in Chang'an for a long time. They had to admit the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.
"Ah~~~~How wonderful it would be if this land belonged to us."
Arthur couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
The Tang Dynasty was a vast country with abundant resources, and it was truly a paradise on earth.
It's a pity that they are far away and may not be a match for the Tang Dynasty at the moment. They have heard that the nomadic peoples in the northern grasslands were conquered by the Tang Dynasty.
Even if so many tribes united, they were still no match for the Tang Dynasty.
"Arthur, this prince of the Tang Empire is not a simple person, and we may not be able to achieve our goal.
If I'm not careful, I might even offend the other party, so I think we should just forget about it."
The man who had just spoken spoke again to Arthur.
"Gad, I also know that King Ji is no ordinary person. I heard that he controls all the merchants in the Tang Dynasty. Even that industrial park is his property.
I also heard that his shops are spread all over the Tang Dynasty, and even in the Western Regions.
But this is our chance. If we can achieve it, our wealth will increase tenfold.
I will not let this opportunity go.”
Arthur shook his head firmly.
"Well, you're right. This is our one chance. After we go back, it will take us a long time to come back."
After hearing this, the man named Gad agreed very much with Arthur's opinion.
"I'm afraid it's not that easy. Look at this workshop in front of you. It must have cost a lot of money."
Yitan looked at the workshop area in front of him and felt uneasy.
"I heard that King Ji is very greedy for money. I think he will agree if we give him more money later," said Arthur.
As a few people were talking, they saw a team coming from the workshop area.
In the middle there is a huge carriage. The carriage is very luxurious, with a golden and magnificent appearance, shining brightly, and pulled by four horses, showing the royal style.
Thousands of guards on both sides were wearing black armor, holding weapons, looking majestic and imposing. The surface of their armor glowed blood red under the sunlight.
Arthur and his companions were all shocked and frightened when they saw it.
"Is this Prince Ji's team? The Tang princes all have such elite warriors. No wonder the Tang Dynasty is so powerful."
Arthur couldn't help but admire that even their trainees didn't have such sophisticated equipment.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness Prince Ji!"
Just as they were stunned, Li Shen's team had already approached them, and Zhang Zhiguan led the guards to dismount and salute.
Under the shocked gazes of Arthur and the others, a young man in gorgeous clothes emerged from the carriage, stood on the shaft, looked down at everyone, and said a single word:
"waived."
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji!" The soldiers saluted and expressed their gratitude in unison.
In terms of momentum, Li Shen has definitely earned enough respect.
Arthur and his companions also hurriedly wanted to step forward to salute, but were stopped by the guards brought by Li Shen.
"Disarm the soldiers and search them!" The guard's cold words came from his cheek.
"What? We are..." When Yitan heard that they still had to search him, he thought it was an insult to them and was about to refute, but was interrupted by Arthur, the leader.
"Shut up, Yitan. This is the rule of the Tang Dynasty." Arthur scolded, then bowed to the guards with a smile and handed over his weapon.
The guard stepped forward to take it, and another guard stepped forward to search him.
Although many people came, not many of them saw Li Shen. There were only four or five people in total. After quickly finishing the body search, the guard said, "Wait," and ran back to report.
A moment later they heard King Ji's voice, "Let them come over."
Several people were brought to the carriage by the guards. Li Shen had already entered the carriage. It was so cold outside and the wind was biting. Li Shen would not stand outside in the cold wind. He was not a fool.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Prince."
Arthur and a few others saluted the carriage.
"Your Highness? Haha, this is the first time I've heard of this title."
Li Shen's laughter came from the carriage. It was the first time he heard someone address him as "Your Highness the Prince".
Even if you call him the Tenth Prince or His Highness the Tenth Prince, Li Shen would not find it strange. After all, he had watched so many TV dramas in his previous life, and many brainless screenwriters wrote them this way.
How could an adult Tang Dynasty prince be without a title? Li Shen was born in the second year of the Zhenguan reign, and in the fifth year of the Zhenguan reign he was first given the title of Prince of Shen, and in the tenth year of the Zhenguan reign he was given the title of Prince of Ji.
Li Shen was only nine years old at that time.
He had never heard anyone call him His Royal Highness the Tenth Prince, because it was a bit disrespectful for someone with a title like him.
Everyone calls Li Shen by his title or "the King".
Arthur and others had never seen a prince of the Tang Dynasty. He only knew that Prince Ji was the son of the Tang Dynasty emperor and naturally a prince.
In the Western Regions, they all called the king's son "Your Highness the Prince."
"Well..." Arthur wanted to explain, but was speechless.
Shitou, standing nearby, stepped forward to remind them, "This is our Highness Prince Ji of the Tang Dynasty."
Arthur immediately understood:
"Your Highness Prince Ji, please forgive me. We have only been in the Tang Dynasty for a short time and do not understand its rules. Please..."
"Alright, it's just a name. I'm not that stingy. Since you want to see me, why don't you go to the camp and talk to me?"
Before Arthur could finish, he was interrupted by Li Shen's voice. Then, with a loud shout from Shitou, the team began to slowly change formation.
Li Shen did not take them into the workshop, because his business secrets, or rather, the business secrets of the Tang Dynasty, were contained there.
Although they will definitely know the technology in the future, there will still be technical barriers.
Li Shen got out of the carriage after bringing Arthur and the others to the guards' camp.
It’s not that Li Shen is too weak, but that the weather is too cold.
Only after Arthur and his companions entered the tent did they see King Ji's appearance clearly. He was handsome and elegant.
The royal robe was purple and golden, embroidered with the auspicious Qilin, representing the East.
"Please sit down." Seeing a few people, Li Shen also looked at them. They were very similar to the servants in Persia, and each of them wore a blue hat.
The beard under his nose always made Li Shen feel that he looked familiar, a bit like Afanasiy.
"Thank you, Your Highness Prince Ji." After Arthur bowed, he sat on a stool. In front of them were small tables.
Li Shen waved his hand again, and immediately a servant brought over a pot of tea and poured it for everyone.
"You speak Tang dialect well. Where did you learn it?" Li Shen asked with interest after taking a sip of tea.
There are many ethnic minorities who can speak Tang dialect, especially in the areas occupied by the Tang Dynasty. Everyone can speak it more or less, but they just can't read it.
The merchants from the Western Regions all spoke Tang dialect with an accent, but Arthur spoke it relatively well, with a less heavy accent.
"I learned it from the merchants there, and I also studied it for more than a year after arriving here."
Arthur said proudly.
