Chapter 1559 Tianzhu ALICE (Part 2)

Li Chengqian said it was plain, but the old man Tianzhu understood what he meant. He didn't say much at the moment. He grabbed a handful of the bag on his back and turned around and put it in Wu Chen's palm.

"What?" Wu Chen asked puzzledly as he looked at the things in his palm.

He knew very well that this should be the so-called seed, but he didn't know what it was. He had never seen this thing in the Tang Dynasty.

But he didn't know it, which did not mean that Li Chengqian didn't know it either. After seeing the thing Wu Chen handed it over, Li Chengqian almost changed his face instantly and stood up from the chair: "How many more do you have this thing?"

"Your Highness, do you know this thing?" Wu Chen was startled by Li Chengqian and asked two steps back.

"It's more than just knowing..." Li Chengqian glanced at Wu Chen and thought to himself, "I didn't eat this much in the countryside when I was a child. For a while, I even had the urge to never eat it for the rest of my life."

Kapil from India had been observing Li Chengqian's reaction. Seeing him so excited, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and bowed again and said, "Dear King of Qin, are you still satisfied with this seed?"

"You want the identity of a Duke, right? I can promise you now and I will definitely recommend you to the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Li Chengqian heard the song and knew the eloquence, and looked at Kapil with a dark face and continued word by word: "However, you have to tell where this thing comes from, and you'd better not try to deceive me."

"Kapil dared not." The Indian master shook his head, took a deep breath, and looked back with an expression on his face: "These things were actually brought back from another continent. For these things, I was the only one who lived in the last 3,000 of us."

"You really arrived in the American continent, where did you really go?" Li Chengqian looked at Kapil's eyes, as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

"Dear Your Highness, I don't know how you know that continent, but I did go there." Kapil said with a little sadness: "Ten ships went out to sea, thousands of soldiers, and more than a hundred companions, and worked hard for more than ten years, but when we returned to India, there were only less than a hundred people left, and... and the King of Jie Ri was because of us... because..." Kapil said this, and he could not continue to say so much.

Li Chengqian has seen such dirty things for more than ten years. Without Kapildo's words, he could guess what happened next. He sighed and comforted him: "You and your companions are the greatest warriors on this continent. Your behavior will definitely be recorded in history. The behavior of King Jie Ri can only prove that he is short-sighted."

"It is our greatest honor to be able to understand that King Qin is. As for King Jie Ri... he may still be trying to find a way to chase us." Kapil's tone was sad, as if everything he had experienced in India made him extremely disappointed.

Li Chengqian could not have any thoughts about his experience except sympathy. After looking at him from head to toe, he said, "Take out all your things. If your things can satisfy me, let alone a duke's false reputation, it is not a problem to give you a real position."

As the saying goes, when Li Chengqian was able to know the family, since he could know peppers and corn, Kapil took off his bags with some confidence and took out the items one by one.

...

Corn, potatoes, sunflowers..., cocoa, peanuts, and zucchini were all over the ground. Li Chengqian was dazzled and almost sat on the ground without even sitting on the ground. He asked nervously: "This, these things... do you know how to cultivate them?"

"Your Highness of the Qin King, we have been on that continent for nearly ten years to learn how to cultivate these crops and their living habits. Otherwise, why should we stay in that wild land?" After so long, Kapil had already understood Li Chengqian's temper and became more courageous when speaking.

"Okay, okay!" Li Chengqian was not angry because of Kapil's rhetoric. He was excited and walked around the room with his hands behind his back for a few times. He looked at Wu Chen who was standing beside him: "What reward do you want? As long as I can do it, the conditions will be as good as you can."

"Ah? Me?" Wu Chen didn't expect the topic to suddenly return to himself. He was stunned for a moment before saying embarrassedly: "Yes, can I let my hair grow again?"

"Get out of here and talk about serious business." Li Chengqian glared at Wu Chen.

"Then, can you let Yue'er marry me? She said it's too difficult for me to be bald, no, I don't want to marry me!" Wu Chen's face was full of bitterness.

"This is OK. I report to my father to give you a marriage." Li Chengqian nodded with some amusement, thought for a while and said, "For the sake of your great contribution, you can also give you a set of houses. The servants and maids will also arrange for you, and you can also raise your grade to a higher level."

"I thank your highness for your great kindness!" Wu Chen was overjoyed after hearing Li Chengqian's arrangement and thanked him repeatedly.

However, Li Chengqian had turned around and ignored him and looked at Kapil, who was acting weird.

The ghost guy was holding a dark brown strip in his hand and was leaning against the lit candle. His butt was sticking out. It was already thick smoke rising. Then he saw him squint his eyes comfortably and breathing a long sigh of relief. A pillar of smoke spurted out of his mouth.

"I..." Li Chengqian's eyes were glaring, and almost didn't come up in one breath.

Except for Wu Chen, the others in the room also stared at the ghost guy with wide eyes. Yang Yuxin even secretly pulled Li Chengqian and whispered: "Your Highness, is this man a god?"

"A bad god!" Li Chengqian muttered unhappily and quickly walked to the ghost guy: "Is there any more? Let's get one."

"Ah?" Kapil looked at Li Chengqian in surprise. This was the first time he had met someone asking him for cigarettes in the Tang Dynasty. In the past, everyone saw him sucking clouds and spitting mist, either treating him as a god or a monster. People like Li Chengqian had never appeared.

"Ah what, hurry up." Li Chengqian urged.

Kapil then came to his senses and took out another one from his body with some pain and handed it to Li Chengqian mechanically.

...

Li Chengqian's actions of lighting cigarettes were more complicated than Kapil. He first asked for a saber from Ye Mei to cut off one end, then picked up the candlestick on the table, slowly lit the cigarette, and then two small smoke rings rose up in succession.

Kapil looked at Li Chengqian's movements more skillful than him, and finally believed that the King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty was not lying to him. His Highness must have really recognized the things brought back from another continent on the ground, otherwise it would be impossible for him to smoke the cigarette so smoothly.
