The night banquet was not a pleasure for both the guests and the hosts, and the dignified Wutuo Ye Hu of the Yagu Mountain Tower was actually subdued by a young man in the Tang Kingdom, which can be said to be a loss of face.

It was this night banquet that didn't last long.

There are fewer than a thousand cups of wine for a confidant, and there is no speculation for more than half a sentence.

After the banquet was dispersed, everyone left the Khan Palace, Qin Xiao was about to get into the carriage, but Muzad, the general of the Western Night, walked over quickly, saluted Qin Xiao, and said, "Thank you for saving me tonight, Muzad is grateful." ”

Qin Xiao admired this tough guy quite a lot, and said with a smile: "The general is polite, it's getting late, let's go back and rest early." ”

"We'll leave tomorrow to return home." Muzad said: "If you have the opportunity to go to the Western Night, you must repay it." ”

Qin Xiao said: "If you have the opportunity to go to Datang, Datang will also be warmly welcomed." ”

Muzad glanced at the Khan's palace and sighed lightly: "Many countries in the Western Regions really hope to communicate with the Tang Dynasty. Before the Veda Khanate took control of the road, we actually had exchanges, but now it is very difficult to go to the Tang Dynasty. ”

Qin Xiao knew that Wutuo was not only the opponent of the Tang Dynasty, but also regarded by the countries of the Western Regions as a beast.

The territory of the Vedic Khanate is just between the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions, and the countries of the Western Regions that have been coerced and lured by the Veda Khanate have broken off contacts with the Tang Dynasty for many years and have suffered greatly from the Vedas.

Qin Xiao thought that if one day the Tang Dynasty gathered heavy troops to launch an offensive against Wutuo from the east, and the countries of the Western Regions could work together to attack from the west, and Wutuo would inevitably suffer a catastrophe under the attack from both sides.

However, such a scenario can only be imagined.

Although the countries of the Western Regions were all bullied by the Vedic Khanate, they still fought with each other, and it was more difficult to unite dozens of countries than to ascend to the sky.

After saying goodbye, the group returned to the protocol.

It was getting late, and Yuwen Chengchao asked everyone to rest earlier and go back to the hospital.

Qin Xiao did not forget the agreement between Tang Rong and himself, but Tang Rong went back as a shopkeeper after that, and he did not say a word to Qin Xiao from beginning to end, but Haniz wanted to accompany Qin Xiao to serve and change clothes, but Qin Xiao politely refused.

He knew that Haniz was grateful to him, and that if he stayed by his side at night, something might happen to the lonely man and the widow.

He didn't want to ask for Haniz because of his favor to her, and the most important thing was that if Haniz didn't leave by then, Tang Rong wouldn't have a chance to enter his courtyard.

After persuading Haniz to go back, he returned to the courtyard by himself, thinking that Tang Rong was coming over, but he just kept the courtyard door open and did not close it.

Back in the house, sit down in a chair and relax.

He knew that at the banquet tonight, the White Wolf King said in public that he wanted to rebuild Tang City, which actually gave Yuwen Chengchao an answer.

Yuwen Chengchao came to help the White Wolf King, naturally it was not Lu Jian who was uneven and drew a sword to help, it was nothing more than for the benefit of Xiling.

Xiling's interests here, commerce and trade are actually only superficial things, and the most important thing is the position of the White Wolf King under trade.

As long as the trade continued, it would be impossible for the White Wolf King to support Nalusheng's plan to advance eastward, so that Xiling would not be attacked by the Vedas, and the situation of the Xiling Gate Lords would be very safe.

The White Wolf King announced in public tonight that he was going to rebuild Tang City, which meant that he promised not to support Brother Nalu Sheng, which was of course the most desired answer for Yuwen Chengchao.

The white shopkeeper escaped death, the White Wolf King regained power, and announced the reconstruction of Tang City, and the purpose of Yuwen Chengchao's trip was achieved.

He knew that the big event was set, and Yuwen Chengchao naturally wouldn't stay here for long

, should leave for Xiling in the next two days.

As for whether the white shopkeeper will follow him back to Xiling on this trip, the Yuwen family will let people continue to sit in Xiling in the future, and Qin Xiao is not particularly concerned.

He was very interested in those two secret letters.

Yuwen Chengchao's expression when he read the letter proved that the two secret letters were indeed extraordinary, but Qin Xiao really couldn't guess who wrote them, let alone what the contents of the secret letters were.

Yuwen Chengchao did not reveal the slightest tone, obviously not wanting too many people to know the information about the secret letter.

Hearing the sound of "quack", Qin Xiao was about to get up, but after thinking about it, his butt still didn't move, the door of his courtyard was hidden, and the door was not closed, and it was naturally Tang Rong who came over at this time.

Tang Rong entered the house, there was a lone lamp lit in the room, under the light, Tang Rong was still delicate and moving, but her expression was a little dignified, seeing Qin Xiao sitting on a chair looking at herself, she walked over and sat down on the chair opposite Qin Xiao.

Qin Xiao saw that Tang Rong was sitting on the chair without saying a word, and suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward.

If it was before, if he could be in the same room with Tang Rong in the middle of the night, Qin Xiao would naturally be unable to ask for it, but at this moment, Qin Xiao felt calm and did not have too many ups and downs.

"Why don't you speak?" Tang Rong glanced at Qin Xiao and sighed lightly.

Qin Xiao looked at Tang Rong and said with a faint smile: "It's you who want to come to me at night, it's not me who comes to you, it's you who have something to say to me, it's not that I have something to say to you." ”

Tang Rong frowned slightly and said, "Why are you talking so weirdly?" ”

"How do you want me to talk?" Qin Xiao said with a smile.

Qin Xiao saved Tang Rong from danger several times, and he was sincere to her, but now he knows that this beautiful sister has always been wary of herself, and even deceived herself, which makes Qin Xiao very uncomfortable in her heart.

"Do you think I'm lying to you?" Tang Rong said quietly: "Although I didn't know anything that night, I was groggy, some vaguely remembered, and some really didn't know. ”

Qin Xiao knew that he was talking about the night of the cave, but he just smiled slightly and didn't answer.

"You..... Who the hell is it? Tang Rong finally asked.

Qin Xiao stared at Tang Rong and said softly, "I ask you three questions, if you can answer me, I can also answer your question." ”

"What's the problem?"

Qin Xiao asked word by word: "Will it snow this year?" ”

Tang Rong's delicate body was shocked.

"What color is snow?" Qin Xiao said slowly: "Can you make a pot of tea in three taels of snow?" ”

Tang Rong's lips moved slightly, but she couldn't make a sound.

"This is the question you asked me earlier, so I don't know it." Qin Xiao said: "I know the three questions, and my answers today are all wrong, so you tell me, what are the answers to these three questions, and what do the three answers mean if you answer them correctly?" ”

Tang Rongxiu frowned, groaned slightly, and said, "I thought you were the person I thought, but in fact, you shouldn't." ”

"Who?"

"If you really don't know anything, that's not a bad thing." Tang Rong sighed: "You have to know, the more you know, the more trouble you will have." ”

Qin Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Sister Rong, don't always use these words to deal with me. I'm a very simple person, and I will get to the bottom of what I want to know, no matter what trouble he has. Leaning forward slightly, staring at Tang Rong's eyes and asking, "Does Shopkeeper Bai know the answers to these three questions?" ”

Although Tang Rong tried her best to make herself look very calm, there was still a trace of panic in her eyes.

Qin Xiao's practice in the first word is the ability to observe words and colors,

Even the slightest change in the other party could be accurately seen through by Qin Xiao, and he smiled lightly and said, "I understand, Sister Rong worked hard to become the righteous daughter of the white shopkeeper, but she is just the white shopkeeper's side..... How to say it, if it's ugly, it's an undercover spy, and if it's good, it's eyeliner. ”

"You're .....!" Tang Ronghua's face was pale: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

"If you think I'm talking nonsense, now we can go to the white shopkeeper and ask the white shopkeeper for the answers to these three questions." Qin Xiao rarely saw Tang Rong so panicked, and said with a faint smile: "I dare to go, Sister Rong definitely doesn't dare." ”

Tang Rong bit her lip and stared at Qin Xiao with a hint of chill in her eyes.

Qin Xiao saw it in his eyes and sneered: "You want to kill people? You ask yourself if you're my opponent? ”

"Kill people?" Tang Rong smiled bitterly: "You think too much, do you think I'm a femme fatale woman?" ”

Qin Xiao also sighed: "I'm afraid that you are really such a woman, otherwise I would be really blind." ”

"You're right, I'm by my father's side, and I'm really monitoring his every move." Tang Rong said in a low voice: "Xiling Gate Valve has buried ears and eyes in the Vedas, especially after the Vedic Rebellion, it has spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and nails have been planted in many places in the Vedas, and all of this is manipulated by the righteous father, he has carefully built a big net in the Vedas, and I was arranged to get close to him, just to know all this. ”

Qin Xiao nodded slightly: "That's right." After a pause, he said: "The white shopkeeper controls the eyes and ears distributed in the Uda, and your purpose should be to hope that one day you can take over the control of this net from him, or at least, make this net clear." ”

"The Xiling Gate Valve is afraid of the Vedas." Tang Rong said: "After the Vedic Rebellion, the Xiling Gate Lords were afraid that the Vedic people would make a comeback, so they not only planted eyeliner in Xiling, but also secretly bought a lot of Vedic nobles, and the money spent was unimaginable to ordinary people. A sneer appeared on his lips: "Naturally, you don't know that the silver that the Xiling Gate Valve uses to bribe the Wutuo nobles every year is enough to raise a cavalry of tens of thousands of people. ”

Cavalry consumes the most money, and the money spent by 10,000 cavalry every year is, of course, astronomical.

"Do you think that the White Wolf King alone can stop Brother Nalusheng from advancing eastward?" Tang Rong said solemnly: "Those Wutuo nobles who were bought by the Xiling Gate Valve, many of them are in important positions, distributed in the eight Wutuo departments, and even the people around Brother Nalu Sheng have also been bought, these people can get a large amount of money from the Xiling Gate Valve every year, and they will naturally prevent Brother Nalu Sheng from advancing eastward. After a pause, he looked at Qin Xiao and asked, "Tang City is prosperous in trade, and it is an important trading place between the Tang Dynasty and the merchants of the Western Regions, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"Strange?"

"According to common sense, trade should be more prosperous in the area of the city of Mushorna in the royal court." Tang Rong said: "But the merchants of the Tang Kingdom, when they reach the ground of the White Wolf Department, they rarely continue to go west, they all gather here, and the Hu merchants of the Western Regions can only come here, and it is precisely because of this that the trade on the side of the White Wolf Department is endless, and the White Wolf King built the Tang City." ”

Qin Xiao suddenly understood: "You mean, this is also a trick to buy the White Wolf King?" ”

"Not bad." Tang Rong nodded slightly: "The White Wolf King likes money, and the Xiling Gate Valve is naturally clear." Before the resumption of trade, the Xiling Gate Valve secretly reached an agreement with the White Wolf King, after the merchants of the Tang Kingdom entered the Wutuo, they only stayed on the territory of the White Wolf Department to do business, and could not continue to go west, and the White Wolf King wanted to build the Tang Dynasty City, providing a trade market for the merchants, and the silver money spent on building the Tang City was all secretly sent by the Xiling Gate Valve. The White Wolf King is the most profitable, and will naturally become the leader who will stop the eastward advance of the Woods. ”
