Chapter 389: An opportunity to undercover Daliao! 【Ask for monthly ticket】
A letter from the Lord of Daliao?
Li Shimin stopped eating egg-filled cakes and asked with full interest:
"Brother Fei, can I see the content?"
Yue Fei opened the photo album on his mobile phone. Pull out the photo of the letter and place it in front of Li Shimin:
"Brother Xian, can you understand the Khitan characters?"
Li Shimin looked at them for a long time and felt that these characters were very similar to Chinese characters, but they were not Chinese characters, and he was completely confused.
He shook his head and said:
"This kind of writing is probably only known to the master's wife. Brother Fei asked quickly. I am very curious about what is written in the letter."
Yue Fei nodded, sent a message to Li Yu, and sent a photo of the letter.
At this moment, Li Yugang drove back to Guanlan Mingshu Community. The first day of exams ended successfully. Several people were sitting in the living room thinking about what to eat at night. When they saw the message from Yue Fei, Li Yu said with a smile:
" Yide finally realized the joy of being a bandit...Daughter-in-law, how much do you know about Khitan writing?"
Zhou Ruotong was eating blueberries and said after hearing this:
"You should know a little bit. I probably understood a little bit when I studied the Jin Dynasty script by myself last time.”
Li Yu handed her the phone and asked Tong Baobao to try to decipher it.
Mu Guiying pinched the walnuts with her bare hands, picked out the kernels and fed them to Diao Chan's mouth:
"Zhending Mansion is so close to Daliao, it shouldn't be difficult to find a few people who can decipher Khitan characters, right?"
Diao Chan ate the walnut kernels with love and said with a smile:
"If there are secrets involved, it is easy to leak. If Sister Zhou can decipher it, there is no need to take the risk... This walnut is so fragrant. , reminds me of the amber walnuts made by Mr. "
Are you craving for sweets again?
Li Yu stood up and said:
"Then I'll make you some more, but you can't eat too much. Too much sugar is bad for your health."
"I know, sir!"< br>
Li Yu walked into the kitchen, took out a box of walnut kernels, poured them into the baking tray, and re-roasted them in the oven to make the walnuts more fragrant and crispy in texture.
While the walnuts were drying, he began to boil sugar.
Zhou Ruotong briefly read the content of the letter and replied to Yue Fei:
"Xiao Fei, go back and tell Xuande that this letter should not be made public to outsiders. The content inside is a bit important. I will try to translate it first. For a moment, I can’t think of another way.”
Yue Fei, who was eating fried mushroom skewers, saw this reply and immediately understood that it was the master’s wife who took over, and said quickly:
“Thank you, master’s wife. The student will go back and tell the emperor."
After that, he hurriedly left the study and returned to the world in the book.
After Zhou Ruotong sent the message, he took Li Yu's mobile phone to the study room, pulled out the "Introduction to Khitan Writing" on the bookshelf, and carefully read through the text on it.
Khitan script is divided into large characters and small characters, and the two kinds of characters are used in parallel.
Big characters are words on official documents, and their meanings are relatively fixed. However, because there are relatively few references in modern society, more than half of the words have no meaning.
As for small characters, they are daily idioms and are relatively easy to understand. However, small characters have different meanings under different pronunciations. To understand, you have to consider the context.
After making amber walnuts, Li Yu made some salt and pepper walnuts, carried them into the study, raised his hand and fed Zhou Ruotong a piece:
"Is it difficult, my wife? If it is difficult, just break it into sections and let people in the book world translate it."
I originally thought that the translation of Xixia script and Jin Dynasty script would be more difficult, but I didn't expect that Khitan script would become The stumbling block is that this kind of writing based on Chinese characters is not difficult in theory. The key is that in the late Liao Dynasty, this kind of writing was abandoned and Chinese characters were fully implemented, so that there were relatively few people who knew Khitan script.
Zhou Ruotong ate two pieces of walnuts and said:
"Several countries are studying Khitan characters. We are still in the exploratory stage in this regard. If we can figure out the meaning of some characters, maybe Another paper in a national journal. "
My dear, after publishing the Oracle paper, you extended your claws to Khitan writing, right?
Although he was a scumbag in front of Zhou Ruotong, Bao Lingyi's method of mobilizing businessmen to transport oil inspired Li Yu:
"I have a way to ask Guiying to go back and find someone to translate. Anyway, there are people in Muke Village It’s time for the imprisoned Liao spies to show their strength.”
“Okay, I’ll just learn the Khitan script.”
Tell me about the Liao letters from the Water Margin. Let the Khitans in the Yang Family Mansion world translate, and even if they see something, they can't help and can't deliver the message.
The Liao Kingdom in the world of Yang Family Mansion is about to be defeated, and is even in danger of annihilation.
Empress Dowager Xiao secretly wiped away many tears. If she knew that in another world, Daliao actually persisted for more than a hundred years, she would probably cry with joy.
Zhou Ruotong was very curious about the meaning of these words and suggested:
"Then let's just go to the B&B for dinner. Time flows very fast over there in Guiying, and one meal should be enough. I can translate the letter properly.”
After discussing it, they quickly drove back to the B&B.
As soon as he got off the bus, Mu Guiying hurried back to Muke Village from the gate with her mobile phone, preparing to take out the imprisoned Liao spies and put them to use.
It was still some time before dark. Diao Chan strolled to the scenic spot, reported to the empress about today's test content, and estimated the results.
The empress was very happy:
"Our little cicada is really awesome, much better than that brat."
"Sir, he is also really awesome and can do much better. It’s delicious, I don’t know anything.”
In the study, Zhou Ruotong sent a photo of a Khitan letter to Zhou Bingliang:
"Second uncle, how much do you know about the Khitan writings when you study the culture of the Song Dynasty?"
Zhou Bingliang replied quickly:
"I don't know much. Where was this photo taken?" There are not many people who know Khitan writing now, and the strokes are quite smooth."
Of course Zhou Ruotong did not tell the truth, but asked:
"What if I go back and write an article about Khitan writing. Can Er Bo find someone to publish his paper?”
"You are so capable. This is not a problem. My eldest niece, feel free to write. I will find the information you need and the museum will apply for a subsidy for you."
See this message , Zhou Ruotong immediately understood:
"How about giving you a third game? I want to add Li Yu's name to the second game."
"That's great, what about my niece's son-in-law?" When is the time? The house has been preparing for the past few days. The old lady also asked several nannies to do a general cleaning and put new bedding in the guest room, for fear of neglecting it. "
"The high school entrance examination will be over in two days. Just go back and he brought you a gift.”
Seeing this news, Zhou Bingliang immediately liked all the members in the family group:
“Tongtong and her boyfriend Xiaoyu are coming soon. In order to leave a good impression on Xiaoyu, it’s up to me. The elders who have met him a few times are welcome to receive him. The fourth brother will drive your customized business car for me. "
Since there is a gift, it must be related to cultural relics.
When you receive the reception, make a selection first. It’s not appropriate to get the first one on the terrace near the water.
When Zhou Bingliang was thinking happily, his boss Zhou Binghou suddenly called:
"Second brother, you are usually such a lazy person, but this time you took the initiative to ask for a reception. Did our niece-in-law bring something that makes you excited?"
"No, no, what are you thinking about, fourth brother?" I just want to show my kindness to the landlord. After all, Xiaoyu is also the discoverer of grotto carvings. He is half a fellow traveler with me...is it reasonable to receive a fellow traveler?"
Zhou Binghou is not stupid:
"It is indeed reasonable, but my car recognizes people. When the time comes, you will be responsible for reception and I will be the driver for the entire journey. Is that no problem?"
Zhou Bingliang: "..."
Has Lao Si studied any art of war recently?
He wanted to refuse, but thinking of this guy's stalking character, he simply pulled him into his small team:
"Then we will be responsible for the reception. Then you will see I act with face, don't offend our eldest son-in-law, otherwise you, a professor at Peking University, will be punished by the old man."
"Don't worry, I have the most discernment, I guarantee that nothing will happen. ”
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Bingliang stretched and continued chatting about the reception in the group. He also stood in front of the map of the capital and planned the route home from the high-speed rail station. .
While he was imagining selecting cultural relics in the car, his boss Zhou Bingshan called Zhou Binghou:
"What's going on with your second brother? He's a little too positive."
"I don't know. , Anyway, I will work as a driver that day, and I will share in any benefits.”
Although Zhou Bingshan didn’t know where his eldest niece’s cultural relics came from, he also knew that they should be related to Li Yu. Then he said:
"When Tongtong decides the date of coming, just say something and I will go and meet Tongtong's chosen boyfriend."
"Okay, but Tongtong didn't choose from thousands of people. She was looked down upon by no one in the past. It was Li Yu who gave her the idea of falling in love... I'm very curious about what charm this kid has, and he actually won the apple of our family's eye."
Zhou Binghou liked the excitement and suggested enthusiastically:
"Boss, doesn't Ruoshan like riding motorcycles? How about we let him form a team that day and drive in front of us?"< br>
"Pull it down, a group of professors are doing this little gangster thing. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the students?" When the two were on the phone, Zhou Ruotong's mother, Zhao Peimin, was at home mumbling:
"Tongtong's boyfriend came to the capital, what does the second brother mean by jumping up and down like this?"
Zhou Bingren took a sip of wild vegetable porridge from the bowl and said:
"Don't worry about him, wait for Tongtong Tong sent me the train number, and I have to pick her up. It’s the first time our son-in-law comes to visit, so we have to pay attention... The dried wild vegetables Tong Tong brought last time were so delicious, I’ll have to ask her to bring some more later.”< br>
"I will tell Tongtong later that the old lady wanted to come with me yesterday."
In the restaurant of the B&B, Zhou Ruotong, who was having dinner, saw the message sent by his mother. , and immediately forwarded the screenshot to Li Yu.
Li Yu took a look and made an OK gesture:
"Arrangement!"
Just after finishing speaking, Xiuhe brought a piece of tofu with dipping sauce.
Cut the old tofu into pieces and blanch it in hot water to remove the beany smell, then eat it while hot with a dipping sauce made of sesame paste. It has a soft and fragrant texture and is very delicious.
In addition to dipping tofu, today there are also dishes such as scrambled eggs with luffa, hand-shredded cabbage, steamed vermicelli and baby cabbage, twice-cooked pork, and fish-flavored eggplant.
While eating, Mu Guiying held a letter and hummed "I am very happy to fall in love with you" and walked into the restaurant.
There were many people at this moment, so she didn’t say anything, but handed it to Zhou Ruotong’s hand, then filled a small bowl of rice for herself, sat down next to Diao Chan, and started to eat the rice.
Li Shimin, who was pulling rice, wanted to know the content of the letter, but he also knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so he had to turn his curiosity into appetite and start eating.
Li Yu asked Diao Chan:
“What do you want to eat tomorrow?”
"Is it okay to fry fried fish fillets?"
"Eat this the day after tomorrow. Deep-fried fish can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort."
"Then braised chicken nuggets, and you will have good luck. !”
Li Yu agreed and planned to let Xiuhe grab a big free-range rooster from home and braise it tomorrow morning. When cooking, he would add some dried bamboo shoots and wild mushrooms to fully stimulate the flavor of the chicken. come out.
In addition to the braised chicken, it is also paired with a few fresh side dishes, perfect!
After dinner, Zhou Ruotong took the letter and went to the study. Li Shimin and Yue Fei took a look and quickly put down their chopsticks to follow.
"Teacher, drink water."
When they arrived in the study, Yue Fei poured a cup of hot water for Zhou Ruotong.
"Thank you, Xiaofei!"
Zhou Ruotong pulled out the letter. Inside was a line of Khitan script and a line of Chinese characters, as if reading a bilingual composition.
Mu Guiying said as if offering a treasure:
"Xiao Feiyang and I divided the letter into several paragraphs and found several people to translate it. After confirming that there was no problem, we asked a Liao man to copy them together for comparison. "
Li Shimin asked:
"Aren't those Khitan people curious about the content of the letter?"
"Curious, but this letter comes from the king a hundred years later. The name didn’t match the number at all... Xiao Feiyang said that since they were so cooperative, they should have thought it was a test, so they translated without any reservations. "
This does make sense.
After all, there are not many people who can read Khitan. A letter claiming to be the leader of the country appears rashly, but the name is wrong. No matter how you look at it, it will make people think it is a temptation.
Yue Fei said:
"Isn't it impossible to decipher the Khitan script in the real world? You can bring it over and let these people help decipher it."
In front of Mu Guiying Yiliang:
"This is a good idea. I'll start on this when I'm not busy. Maybe I can make some money."
Zhou Ruotong said while reading the letter:
"There is no Khitan text I am soliciting prizes for cracking. When my paper is published, there may be some royalties, which will be given to you when the time comes.”
The content of the letter is not complicated. The first half is full of pleasantries and praises Cao. The weapons and equipment sent by the family head and Fu Yin are very sophisticated, and they plan to add another batch of orders, hoping that Zhending Mansion can speed up the completion.
After chatting about these regular business matters, the leader of the Liao Kingdom talked about the Jin Kingdom established in the north. He hoped that Zhending Mansion would no longer sell weapons to the Jin Kingdom. Daliao was willing to pay double the amount of weapons for the Jin people. price to buy.
Seeing this, the corner of Zhou Ruotong's lips curled up... Was he aware that the Jin Kingdom was buying weapons to deal with Daliao, so he wanted to interfere?
After explaining the business matters, the leader of the Liao Kingdom changed the topic and talked about the Cao family:
“I heard that at Chenqiaoyi, the soldiers originally wanted to support the Cao family. Ancestor, it was the Zhao Kuangyin brothers who used tricks to take away the glory that belonged to the Cao family..."
Should it be said, this king is still very good at talking.
Not only did it say that the Cao family had an imperial position, but it also talked about Cao Cao during the Three Kingdoms period. He felt that the Cao family was really a descendant of Cao Cao, so he should hold high the banner of Emperor Wu of Wei and become emperor again.
He also promised that as long as the Cao family wants to take that step, Daliao will help them.
Finally, there was an invitation. The leader of the Liao Kingdom said that he had been cooperating with the Cao family for many years and had never been able to meet him. He hoped to have the opportunity to meet in the future and have a good drink.
Eh? This is an opportunity to break into Daliao.
If done correctly, there might be a wave of assassinations that could plunge Daliao into conflict.
Zhou Ruotong read the letter, took photos of them all, and handed them to Li Shimin and Yue Fei, who stretched their necks to know the content:
"You two read it and tell me your feelings after reading it."
The two little friends bowed respectfully and took the letter and started reading it.
As soon as he put down the letter, Li Shimin excitedly said with his little hands behind his back:
"The leader of the Liao Kingdom has never met the head of the Cao family. You can ask someone from the Intelligence Department to pretend to be there. Maybe there will be unexpected gains..."
Yue Fei started chatting along this line of thinking:
"But the person pretending to be someone has to be arranged well, and it is best to look noble, so that the Lord of Daliao will not be able to help but want to provide a lot of assistance and support this person to rise to power."
The Lord of Daliao is like this The purpose is simply to plunge the Song Dynasty into civil strife, so that we can use this to defraud aid.
Anyway, it is a business without capital. The more you cheat, the more you make.
Yu Wen Chengdu took the letter and read it over, and approved the two people's strategy, but also expressed a little worry:
"You have to let people who are good at undercover, and have good psychological quality, otherwise Once you fail, you may not be able to escape.”
Mu Guiying thought about the appearance of the generals in Qilin Village. There were a few who were full of nobility, such as Jade Qilin Lu Junyi, Guan Erye, Liu Xuande himself... But it was hard to say about their psychological quality.
Lu Junyi has the worst acting skills, so he passed first; Guan Erye can play the role of a god, but playing the role of a rebel who becomes the emperor is somewhat difficult.
As for Liu Bei, he is good in all aspects, but it is too much for his top leader to work as an undercover agent for some resources.
Mu Guiying asked:
“Why do I think there is no suitable candidate in Qilin Village?”
Li Shimin and Yue Fei looked at each other, a little embarrassed, but when they saw Zhou Ruotong's determined expression, they quickly raised their hands and asked for advice:
"Please clear up my doubts, Master."
Zhou Ruotong took a sip of water and looked at it. Everyone said:
"Have you forgotten that there is a royal family of the Zhou Dynasty here who has been recruiting troops in Cangzhou? Just let Chai go in for the undercover matter. He once went undercover without backup. When he joined Fang La's camp, he became Fang La's son-in-law. He has nothing to say about his appearance or psychological quality. "
As for martial arts, Chai Jin is actually not bad. When he was undercover under Fang La, Chai Jin carried him. Wearing weapons, he went into battle and fought with Hua Rong, Guan Sheng and Zhu Dian respectively. The fight was actually going back and forth.
Although General Liangshan most likely let go during the fight, Fang La's side was full of masters in full view of the public. Even if he let go, he would not dare to be too blatant, otherwise it would definitely be seen.
Having such a noble person go undercover in Daliao makes me feel more like an emperor than the leader of Daliao.
Yue Fei cupped his hands and said:
"The student council will tell the master's wife's wishes to the emperor's uncle. If an undercover agent is really needed, I will accompany Chai Daguan."
Yes. With an administrator who can come to the real world at any time, it will be much more convenient no matter what you do.
However, this matter is not urgent at the moment. The Lord of Daliao only mentioned it. If he wants to meet, he will have to go through many communications.
Zhou Ruotong collected the letter and handed it to Yue Fei, explaining:
“No matter how much it costs, we must quickly find the leaders of the caravan who escaped and kill them to avoid causing trouble. "
"Yes!"
Yue Fei left in a hurry and went to Zhending Mansion to find Liu Bei.
Li Yu walked into the study carrying a basket of washed fruits. When he saw Professor Zhou sitting on the chair giving orders, he felt like he was meeting the empress.
The fake Queen: She makes noises every day, neither big nor small, acts recklessly, and is addicted to food.
The real Queen: clear-cut, thoughtful, calm, and full of aura.
Tsk, our Professor Zhou is really becoming more and more attractive!
