Chapter 199: Matchmaking
The White Wolf King killed the beggar and did not delay in the Wild Wolf Gorge, and set off to return to the White Wolf City that night.
Most of the eighteen prisoners who were escorted over this time were Tang merchants, and the few remaining were from the Western Regions.
Except for the white shopkeeper, everyone else thought that they would definitely die for this trip, who knew that they would be able to escape death, and everyone who lived the rest of their lives after the catastrophe felt that they had turned their lives back.
Several people from the Western Regions were released and left, Yuwen Chengchao didn't care what crime they committed and were imprisoned in White Wolf City, but this time they were selected, even if these people were killed, they gave each of them some food and water, and the way to escape after that was up to them.
However, most of the Tang merchants rescued from the dungeon were in extremely poor physical and mental state, and they were also abnormally weak.
This Wild Wolf Gorge is closer to the West Wind Castle, and after some discussion, Yuwen Chengchao finally decided to borrow ten Wutuo cavalry from the White Wolf King, led by Dapeng, and temporarily send those Tang merchants to the West Wind Fort to recuperate, and the rest of the people went to the White Wolf City with the White Wolf King.
Tang Rong was originally going to go to the West Wind Castle with the white shopkeeper, but the White Wolf King felt very guilty because the white shopkeeper's legs were abolished, and insisted on letting the white shopkeeper go to White Wolf City together, naturally wanting to make some compensation to the white shopkeeper.
The White Wolf King insisted so much, and the white shopkeeper couldn't refuse, so he could only agree to follow him to White Wolf City.
Yuwen Chengchao knew very well in his heart that since Qi Fushan was dead, then the White Wolf Department was still the world of the White Wolf King, and the merchants of the Tang Kingdom were escorted to the West Wind Fort by the wolf guard, and the Burke of the West Wind Fort would only be hospitable.
Even though Nur Chijia used to be a beggar for goodness, after knowing the news of Beggar good's death, he would only quickly fall to the White Wolf King.
Because many merchants of the Tang Kingdom were tortured in the dungeon, they naturally couldn't go far, and there was really no way, so they took a prisoner car to the West Wind Fort.
After sending off Dapeng and his party, the White Wolf King headed for White Wolf City.
Of course, Qin Xiao didn't have the opportunity to continue riding in that luxurious carriage, the white shopkeeper's legs were wasted and he couldn't ride a horse, so the carriage was naturally left to the white shopkeeper, and Tang Rong naturally took care of it in the car.
Qin Xiao was still riding his own Black Overlord.
When he went to White Wolf City from Zephyr Castle, although Qin Xiao took a carriage, the Black Overlord had been following, and Qin Xiao still took it with him on this trip to the Wild Wolf Gorge, for Qin Xiao, the Black Overlord was already his greatest wealth, and of course he couldn't let it leave him.
The White Wolf King is old and strong, riding horses since he was a child, and now although he is nearly sixty years old, he is still superb in equestrianism.
"Brother Wang, you can really do it." Following Qin Xiao's side, Fat Yu said with a smile: "After you left, the eldest prince has been worried, lest he be seen by Qi Fushan, but everyone knows that you are clever and will definitely be able to succeed." ”
Qin Xiao smiled slightly, thinking that if he hadn't lived in the market for many years, served those prison masters in the Jiazi prison, saw people talking about people, and practiced a good eloquence, this time he might not be able to win the trust of beggar Fushan.
If it was the self before entering the Jiazi Prison, Qin Xiao knew that he would definitely be seen by Qi Fushan.
The night breeze is whirring.
"What I promised you, I have done." Yuwen Chengchao said suddenly.
Qin Xiao turned his head.
"I have given Haniz freedom." Yuwen Chengchao said: "
and gave her a sum of silver taels that was enough to make her worry about food and clothing. There are a few merchants from the Elite Kingdom in Zephyr Castle, they have traded with us, and they should be trustworthy, and I entrust Haniz to them, and when they return home, they will return with Haniz. ”
Qin Xiao immediately arched his hand and said, "Eldest prince, thank you." ”
"I've done so little for you than you've done for me." Yuwen Chengchao sighed: "Brother Wang, you have ventured into White Wolf City, and only asked me to give a dancing girl freedom, I have mercy, I am not as good as you." ”
Qin Xiao touched his head and said with a smile: "Maybe it's because I see her good-looking, and I don't want her to be miserable and sad for the rest of her life." ”
"That's compassion." Yuwen Chengchao smiled: "But of course you are not because of what she looks like, if you are a lustful person, she will not be clean for a long time." Then he sighed: "That's fine, it can be regarded as a little bit of virtue that I have accumulated with your help." ”
Qin Xiao said: "Actually, the eldest prince is a good person, and his virtue is not lost. ”
"Good guys?" Yuwen Chengchao smiled: "It depends on how you say it, in your eyes, I may be a good person, but in the eyes of some people, I am only afraid that I am a villain who is going to hell." ”
Qin Xiao thought for a while, and finally asked, "Eldest Prince, will this Tang City still be rebuilt?" ”
"It took many years for the White Wolf King to build the Tang City back then, and it can't be built overnight." Yuwen Chengchao said: "This time I went to White Wolf City, I also wanted to talk to the White Wolf King about the future on behalf of Xiling. The White Wolf King should also rebuild the Tang Dynasty, but after this incident, trade will definitely be affected, and I am afraid that many merchants will not dare to come here. After a pause, he said: "In order to attract merchants to continue to trade, the White Wolf King naturally has to make some concessions, such as reducing the taxes of the merchants, etc., and these things will naturally have to be discussed with the White Wolf King in detail." ”
Qin Xiao glanced back at the carriage, and then said, "...... the white shopkeeper?" ”
"When we go back, the white shopkeeper will naturally go back to Xiling with us." Yuwen Chengchao said: "After I go back, find a famous doctor, and heal the white shopkeeper's leg no matter what." As for the business here, my father will send someone else when the time comes. ”
Qin Xiao thought to himself that if the white shopkeeper went back, he didn't know if Tang Rong would also return to Xiling with him.
However, Qin Xiao also knew in his heart that once the Tang City was rebuilt, the Yuwen family would never give up trade here, firstly, the trade was profitable, and secondly, it was also the eyes and ears on the side of the Woods, and they could know the movements of the Woodlands at any time.
To gain a foothold in the Woods, and even to build personal connections, is by no means something that can be done overnight, and it takes a lot of manpower and material resources.
The most important thing is that the center of this net is the white shopkeeper.
If the white shopkeeper leaves, it will not be easy to weave a new net in the Vedas.
Tang Rong is the righteous daughter of the white shopkeeper, and she is also a confidant, Qin Xiao knows very well that if the white shopkeeper really leaves, only Tang Rong can replace the white shopkeeper.
Tang Rong knows the situation here well, as the most trusted righteous daughter of the white shopkeeper, Tang Rong is also involved in many secret affairs, and only Tang Rong can integrate the network of the Yuwen family in Wutuo in a short period of time.
"Then will Tang Rong also return to Xiling?" Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, and finally asked.
Yuwen Chengchao glanced at Qin Xiao, and also glanced back at the carriage, the carriage was
The Wutuo cavalry guard, still a little far from the front, said softly: "Do you know the origin of Tang Rong?" ”
Qin Xiao asked rhetorically, "Does the eldest prince know?" ”
Yuwen Chengchao shook his head: "The actions of the white shopkeeper in Wutuo have always been reported directly to my father, and he will not come into contact with us. And he has absolute freedom in his actions here, and who he uses is decided by the white shopkeeper. After a pause, he said in a low voice: "Before the Vedic Rebellion, the white shopkeeper was already active in the Vedic Rebellion, and sixteen years ago in the Vedic Rebellion, the white shopkeeper was also the first to report to my father that the Vedic people had moved eastward. ”
"Then Tang Rong appeared after the Vedic Rebellion?"
"After the Vedic Rebellion, although trade was interrupted, the two sides still had private dealings with each other." Yuwen Chengchao said: "The white shopkeeper has a lot of connections in Wutuo, at that time, the white wolf king proposed to the Tang Dynasty many times to resume trade, and the court was still a little hesitant, it was the white shopkeeper who found out that the white wolf king was indeed sincere in resuming trade, and my father then wrote to the court together with the other two marquis, and the sage issued an order to reopen trade. The White Wolf King built the Tang City, and the first batch of merchants who entered the Tang City had a white shopkeeper, and it was at that time that we learned that he had accepted a righteous daughter, but he didn't inquire too much. ”
Qin Xiao said: "In this way, when Tang Rong was more than ten years old, he had already followed the white shopkeeper? ”
"Not bad." Yuwen Chengchao looked at Qin Xiao and suddenly smiled: "You care so much about Tang Rong, do you like her?" ”
Qin Xiao's face was hot, thinking that these private matters were naturally not good to tell you, so he just smiled.
"Although there is a difference in age...... Yuwen Chengchao groaned slightly, and then said: "But she is also her own person, and her appearance is also very outstanding, if you really like it, I can talk to the white shopkeeper." As far as I know, Tang Rong has not yet been married, and you have reached the age of marriage, if I come forward, the white shopkeeper should give me this face, how about I be your matchmaker? ”
Qin Xiao didn't expect Yuwen Chengchao to be so straightforward.
However, he knows very well that Tang Rong is a person with his own ideas, Yuwen Chengchao came forward, the white shopkeeper will naturally not give face, and will definitely persuade Tang Rong, in this way, it will bring great pressure to Tang Rong, after all, the white shopkeeper personally mentioned family affairs, even if Tang Rong is unwilling, it is not good to go against the white shopkeeper's wishes.
If Tang Rong knew that she was going to say goodbye through Yuwen Chengchao, then it was likely to make Tang Rong feel uncomfortable.
Qin Xiao knew in his heart that even if he really married Tang Rong one day, he didn't need to go through the hands of others, if he and Tang Rong had fate, the two would be able to walk together after all, and if they were fated, there was no need to force it.
Qin Xiao is not a reckless person.
He had a love for Tang Rong, but because of the cold illness, he was very puzzled about Tang Rong's life experience, and before he figured out Tang Rong's life experience, he also felt that it was really inappropriate to walk with Tang Rong at this time.
"Thank you, eldest prince, but let me do this matter myself." Qin Xiao thanked him.
Yuwen Chengchao nodded with a smile and said, "The words of the matchmaker are also to the daughter of the boudoir. Tang Rong has followed the white shopkeeper for many years, shrewd and capable, and it is by no means comparable to those boudoir women, if the words of the matchmaker promote this matter, it will seem inferior. You are wise and eloquent, and over time, you can win Tang Rong's heart. He looked up at the night sky and muttered, "I'm worried about Brother Nalu Sheng right now." ”
