Chapter 21: Ashinayun's Confession

Wang Duo, the person in charge of Sihai Trading Company, is Wang Zhong's nephew, shrewd and skilled, and in recent years, the business of Sihai Trading Company has been mainly managed by him.

Under Li Mohan's layout plan, although Sihai Trading Company has stores in important cities in Datang, there is only one jewelry store and one cotton cloth store in Chang'an City. He advised him several times to expand his business in Chang'an, but Li Mohan refused.

Now that he learned that Li Mohan said that Chang'an City would open fifteen new shops at once, he said in his heart that the young master had finally figured it out.

And when Li Mohan threw the title deeds of the shops to him, he saw that the locations of those title deeds were actually the prime locations of Chang'an City, and the smile on his face could hardly fade.

What's more, there is also the name of the emperor's imperial pen store.

There is also the eldest grandson Wuji, a noble of the Tang Dynasty, as a backer.

Plus those novelty goods invented by the young master.

He only felt that mountains of gold were dangling in front of his eyes.

The young master is really amazing!

He is really the God of Wealth.

Looking at Wang Duo's stupid expression, Li Mohan coughed and pulled his thoughts back to reality.

"Well, give you three days, three days to prepare. The fifteen shops first took out three shops in the West Market to sell daily necessities, and the remaining twelve were left untouched, and I kept them for other purposes. ”

"The celebration and your wedding ......"

"Those things are handled by Uncle Zhong and Lin Yong and their gang, so don't worry about it. Concentrate on doing a few things I have assigned to you. To bring you back is to drink. You can't drink our sweet potato roast outside, it's greedy, right? ”

"Okay, young master." Wang Duo scratched his head embarrassedly, he was really told by Li Mohan.

"How's the Racecourse going?"

"Young Master Hui, I have bought 3,000 acres of land on the edge of the Royal Forbidden Garden near Lishan as a horse farm, and the fence and shed are under construction, and it will be completed in mid-September."

"That's good! The horseshoe is still shipped from the village first, and then the workshop is built there when the time is ripe. ”

"Okay, young master."

"How many people did Tuyuhun and the Turks send over?"

"Six caravans, about 300 people."

"That's good!"

"By the way, young master, when will our sweet potato roast be on the market?"

"Wait. Our chefs haven't been trained yet, the third batch of caravans to the Western Regions hasn't returned yet, and there are still some stocks of spices. You know, in another three months, the snow outside Yumen Pass will be heavy and cold, and the caravan will not be able to go along. Therefore, it is necessary to have at least half a year of inventory to ensure continuous delivery. Li Mohan said sternly.

"Okay, I'll go and set it up."

Wang Duo respectfully withdrew and arranged for the relevant personnel.

Li Mansion has a lively and festive atmosphere. In addition to preparing for Li Mohan's birthday celebration, he also began to prepare for Li Mohan's wedding.

Li Mohan has already stated that he will marry Su Linger after his twentieth birthday.

The dowry worth 100,000 yuan has been sent to Su Mansion, and Su Mu is so happy that he can't keep his mouth shut. walked on the village with a smug look, which made everyone boast behind his back that he would give birth to a daughter and have a good life.

Wang Zhong found a special gentleman and selected the auspicious time, which was set on September 12. That is, eighteen days after Li Mohan's birthday.

"Come on, go, tear down the wall for me!" Li Mohan pointed to the wall separating the Su family and the Li family and said.

"Huh?"

Wang Zhong was taken aback.

"Young master, is this unruly?"

"What's out of order? It's going to be a family soon, why are you still seeing you like this? Tear down the wall, isn't this a family? After that, my daughter-in-law and I were going to my father-in-law's house, and we just got there. It also saves you trouble. Li Mohan said seriously.

Listening to the movement here, Su Mu also rushed over to take a look, and when he learned Li Mohan's thoughts, this old scholar had no objection for the first time, and even smashed the wall with his own hands.

In the future, it will be very convenient to come to Li Mansion to eat and drink.

Ever since he had eaten the food in the Li Mansion, Su Mu could no longer tolerate the food in his own mansion, and he felt like chewing wax.

What's worse is the wine. Su Mu, who is a good wine, has tasted the stuffy donkey sweet potato roast in Li Mohan's house, and then drinks other wines and feels bland and tasteless, like torture.

Su Ling'er blushed slightly, looking at the smoke in Li Mohan's eyes, with a charming smile, she saw Li Mohan as having a dry throat and rising blood, and she couldn't wait to go over and kiss Fangze now.

At this moment, Lin Yong came over and said a few words in his ear. Li Mohan's expression suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly followed Lin Yong out of the house.

When he saw the six captured Turkic captives and the thirty-three Turkic corpses that had been killed, Li Mohan said sharply:

"Command to go down and strengthen your vigilance. In particular, the defense of the back mountain must not be relaxed. Tell Lao Gao to make his moves wider. If you let the Turks climb the cliff and sneak in, I'll let him go to work in the workshop! ”

"No!"

"This is a mountain rain that is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings. Brother Yong, it can be seen that these people are all masters, this is the first batch, but it will definitely not be the last batch. It seems that Ashina Yun must be sent away quickly, otherwise, it will be difficult for Lijiazhuang to have a peaceful day. ”

"Young Master, aren't you...... Aren't you going to marry her? ”

"Marry her? What about Ling'er? Besides, I guess the one in Chang'an City is already thinking about the alliance with Tuli, this Ashina Yun, I don't know which prince to marry. Brother Yong, you know, Young Master Ben is not interested in the princess. ”

Regarding Li Mohan's words, Lin Yong didn't believe it a hundred times.

"Don't think I can't see it, that princess is interesting to you." Lin Yong smiled, "You are so affectionate with her brothers and sisters all day long, don't you see Miss Su annoyed?" ”

Li Mohan was embarrassed and said: "Ash Nayun and I, that's only brother and sister love, don't talk nonsense." ”

Lin Yong had an expression that could be said whatever you wanted.

Lin Yong, who is Chinese New Year's Eve one year old today, is the former adjutant general of the Liao Army of the Great Sui Expedition, and one of the few people who can pick up a life from the front line of the expedition to Goguryeo.

He finally returned home, only to find that his home had been deserted due to the war. He didn't want to get involved in the warlord melee anymore, so he followed the fleeing crowd all the way from Jizhou to Wugong County.

Five years ago, he fled to Lijiazhuang and almost starved to death on the streets, but Li Mohan took him in. Since then, he has become Li Mohan's iron loyal.

The "Li Jiajun" of 3,000 people in front of him was created by him and Li Mohan together.

They are all composed of young and courageous people selected from among the displaced people.

After Li Mohan and his training in the past few years, coupled with the combat experience accumulated in fighting against bandits, and the sophisticated weapons and armor that Li Mohan strengthened for them in this era, this 3,000-strong country warrior is already a rare strong army in the world.

"I want to see our princess, I want to see our princess!" Among the captives, a big man shouted in broken Chinese.

Li Mohan motioned for the two of them to bring him over.

"Are you a Jieli or a Tuli?"

The big man looked up, saw Li Mohan, and recognized him at once.

"Huh? It's you?! You shameless and despicable Central Plains people, return the princess to us! Dahan's eyes were full of hatred when he looked at Li Mohan.

"It seems that you are a Turkite." Li Mohan met the eyes of this Turkic man and said coldly.

"How do you know I'm not a Jieli person?"

"If it's Jieli's person, then go directly to kill Princess Yun, instead of thinking about killing me first." Li Mohan said.

The man was stunned.

"You...... Do you know that Jieli is going to kill our princess? ”

"It's not hard to guess. If Princess Yun dies in the territory of Datang, then your clan will share the same hatred with Jieli and take revenge on Datang together. This is the most beneficial for Jieli, and with Jieli's heroic character, he will inevitably choose this way. ”

The Turkic man nodded.

"Lock these people up first," Li Mohan ordered.

"No!"

On the other side, in the Li Mansion, Auna found Ashinayun and whispered in her ear with a mysterious face:

"Princess, guess who I just saw?"

"Who? It's so mysterious. ”

Auna pulled her to a secluded corner, looked around at no one on her left and right, and whispered:

"I just saw a group of people carrying six Turkic-looking captives passing by the gate of the palace, and one of them turned out to be Manggul."

Ashinayun asked in surprise: "Manggul? Father Khan's personal army captain? How did he get caught? ”

Auna thought for a moment and said, "It may have been sent by the Khan to rescue us, but it turned out to be captured by Zhuang Ding. ”

"Huh? No, I'm going to see Brother Han. Ashina Yun said hurriedly. She didn't want more killing and hatred between her clan and Li Mohan.

However, at the moment, she can't get out of the Li Mansion, so she can only be in a hurry.

Until she saw Li Mohan's figure appear in front of the mansion, she hurriedly greeted her.

"Brother Han, I heard that you captured a few Turks."

"Well, there are six, from your tribe, and thirty-three, who were killed by crossbow arrows."

"Huh?" Ashinayun covered her mouth and exclaimed, what she was most afraid of had happened.

"So, you...... Are you going to kill those six people too? Ashina Yun said in a trembling voice.

"No, I'm not a murderous demon. If it weren't for you Turks who came to burn and loot in our Datang territory, they wouldn't have died under the crossbow arrows of my Zhuangzi. ”

"I've decided, you and Auna hurry up and clean up, as those few people leave quickly, the sooner the better!"

"Huh?" Ash Nayun looked at Li Mohan in disbelief.

"Ahhhh I originally wanted to personally escort you back to the grassland after your birthday, but now it seems that since your father Khan secretly sent someone to rescue you, there are many people who should come, and I don't have to send you off. Go clean up. ”

Ash Nayun was a little at a loss for a while.

She looked at Li Mohan with resentment and said:

"Brother Han, are you trying to drive me away? Do you just care so much about me? ”

Li Mohan didn't dare to look at her eyes, and dodged:

"Sister Yun, you are a Turkic princess, if you don't leave, the people sent by Jieli to kill you will come."

"However, your Lijiazhuang is impregnable, isn't it the safest here?" Ashina Yun asked rhetorically.

Li Mohan said:

"This place can only protect you for a while, but it can't protect you for a lifetime. If you stay here, you'll be in trouble here. ”

Ashina Yun felt very angry and aggrieved when he heard this, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

"So, I'm just a big nuisance in your eyes, isn't I?"

Li Mohan didn't dare to look at her eyes, he couldn't see a woman cry the most.

"It's not like that. However, Sister Yun, if you don't leave, the Tang Dynasty and the Turks will become fire and water, and how many people will die because of this, do you know? I just hope that you can consider your tribe, and I also hope that the people of Datang will suffer less. We must not only look after ourselves, but also know our share of responsibility. ”

"That'...... So, you're not hating me when you let me go, right? Ash Nayun wiped the tears from his face and stared at him and asked.

"You are so cute and beautiful, how could I hate you," Li Mohan said curtly.

"Am I pretty? Which one is more beautiful than your Su Ling'er? “

"Uh, this ......" Li Mohan didn't expect Ash Nayun to ask him this kind of question so aggressively, Li Mohan, who had little experience in dealing with girls in his previous life, was embarrassed for a while.

Seeing Li Mohan's embarrassed look, Ash Nayun finally showed a smile on his face.

"Then, Brother Han, you will come to the grassland to see me, right?"

"Will... Yes. You forget, I said I was going to take Ling'er to see the grassland. Naturally, they will come to play with you when the time comes. ”

"That's right." Ash Nayun was lost again, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Su Ling'er standing by the collapsed wall from afar and looking here, and his heart was filled with sadness again.

"Brother Han, I don't care, you must come to the grassland to find me. Actually, since you arrested me that day, I wanted to tell you that I was already your man. The words you said on the walls of the city were heard by 200,000 Turks. Don't say anything, I'm a princess, you're a commoner. I am a steppe man, and the steppe people regard those who have captured them as their own masters. And you, not only have captured my people, but also my heart. I can't forget you in my life, you are the man chosen for me by Changsheng, in this life, Ashina Yun will only be your woman! Ashina Yun bravely confessed to Li Mohan.

Su Ling'er and the four maids were stunned.

This Turkic princess is too bold, right? Shameless!

They don't know that the children of the grassland are not informal, dare to love and hate, and boldly pursue what they love, which is very different from the people of the Central Plains.

Before Li Mohan could reply, Ashina Yun came over, stood on tiptoe, kissed him on the face, and then ran away quickly, took Auna's hand and went to the room.

Su Ling'er blushed when she saw it, and ran back to her room angrily.

Only Li Mohan was left standing in the local area.
