Tang Zhangwei came out of the secret passage and saw that those officers of the Eastern Roman Empire, under the command of Zhang Nan, the killer of Fanbang, and his deputy Chang Miao, were still firing at the Tang Station. ∞ miscellaneous ∑ ∑ insects ∞

Tang Zhangwei said with a smile: "Some clowns who jump off the beam, how can they go against my elite soldiers in the Tang Dynasty." ”

Princess Suining said to Tang Zhangwei: "The enemy is very fierce, why do you seem to look down on them." ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "It's not that I look down on them, but these people can only hurt people with a secret sword, and they are only worthy of carrying our shoes." ”

Princess Suining said: "Originally, I felt very sad when I saw so many of them assassinate us, but now when I hear you say this, it seems that I have the backbone of the heart in my heart, and my heart is much happier." ”

Tang Zhangwei said to Bai Cunxiao: "Let's go to that Eastern Roman Empire merchant Papaste and see if he dares to come to rescue us, if he has the courage, we will give him a splash of wealth." ”

Bai Cunxiao said: "I'm afraid that person may not have the courage, because after all, he is from the Eastern Roman Empire, and he must be afraid of the emperor." ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Not necessarily, this Eastern Roman Empire merchant Papaste traveled south and north, and he did all the things of licking blood from the knife edge, and he may not have a good impression of the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI who was rampant." ”

Princess Suining said: "It's one thing to not have a good feeling, and it's another thing to dare to join us against that Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI." ”

Tang Zhangwei and his party went out day and night, and when they found Papaste, it was already ten days later.

Papaste is dividing the goods with Han Yong, the leader of the mercenary group, and his gang, who have sold many strange things in the Eastern Roman Empire.

Although the lives of ordinary people in the Eastern Roman Empire were poor, the lives of those high-ranking officials and nobles became more and more nourishing.

These people drank wine, soaked in chicks, and celebrated the festival with one of their kind. All the riches are purple, and the fragrance is charming and drunk.

Recently, Papasteba of the Eastern Roman Empire has befriended a new patron, a Viking nobleman Hedenstad.

By helping the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI to go on a rampage, digging meat from mosquito legs and squeezing oil from human bones, this bastard Hedenstad sat in the big garden of his house, looked at the flowers in the yard, and said, "What does it matter to me whether others live or die?" ”

At this time, the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI was uneasy, and he roared at the incompetent killer Zhang Nan and his deputy Chang Miao, saying: "You promised that as long as I try my best to eat you, you can help me get rid of that damn Bai Cunxiao, but now Bai Cunxiao, this bastard, is still alive, I think you have something to say?" ”

Xing Lidan, the leader of the monks in Fanbang, said: "The emperor is angry, if you kill those two killers, who will be your scapegoat at that time?" Your Majesty, once you are surrounded by those Tang troops and want to hand over the murderer, who can stand up for you? If you are more tolerant of them now, you are actually leaving yourself a way out. ”

Under the persuasion of Xing Lidan, the leader of the monks of Fanbang, the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI stopped his rage, and he said to the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI: "I was annoyed just now, it was my fault, don't be angry. ”

Back in the harem, the sister of King Li Bao said to the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI: "Your Majesty, those bastards will only compete for favor, in fact, they are not capable, if you pin your hopes on them, it will be dangerous." ”

The Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI said, "I know, but there is no one in my palace to trust." ”

The younger sister of Li Bao, the king of Tang Ji, said: "Who said that there are no ministers who can be trusted in the Eastern Roman Empire, as long as the emperor speaks widely, there will naturally be loyal ministers who share the emperor's worries." ”

The Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI smiled and said, "Loyal ministers, the queen thinks too much, so there are no loyal ministers, and some are just villains who tend to be inflammatory." However, we are trying to use these villains to maintain the rule of the Eastern Roman Empire and continue our luxurious life. ”

King Ji's sister Li Bao's sister Lotus County Lord said: "Your Majesty, why are you so pessimistic? ”

The Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI said, "It's not that I'm pessimistic, but that's what it is." ”

After Tang Zhangwei saw Papaste, he began to hug him and Han Yong, the leader of the mercenary group.

Papaste said: "Your life is really a good one, I was going to arrange for you a good errand that will make you rich, but as soon as you set foot on the Golden Horn near Constantinople, there is no trace of you. I couldn't find you even if I tried to find you, but now we're finally meeting again. ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "What good business do you have to introduce to me?" ”

Papaste said: "Only a good man like you would dare to take on such a business, in the steppes of Eastern Europe, there are many immigrants from your Tang Empire, there are many good horses, especially the Don hippopotamus is very famous, these horses are hard-working." ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Then get some of these horses to be stocked in your pastures here!" ”

"The point is that there are many horse thieves, and these people are a threat at every turn on the road from the Eastern Roman Empire to the Rus' province of the Tang Dynasty," Papaste said. ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "What do you mean? ”

Papaste said to Tang Zhangwei: "I bought two thousand horses this time? Seeing Papaste's face, Tang Zhangwei said, "You are really bold enough." ”

Papaste put his hand on Tang Zhangwei's shoulder, and said, "There is no problem with the sale of these two thousand horses, and the upstart Wan Yuan Lord of the Eastern Roman Empire has found a market for me in the army of the Eastern Roman Empire." All you have to do is get those horses from the Rus' steppes. ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "You look up to me like this? ”

Papaste said: "In my eyes, among the heroes of the world, you are the only one who has the ability to bring these horses over." ”

Tang Zhangwei said: "Okay, I promise you, but is that Ten Thousand Gardens Lord Hedentstad reliable?" ”

Papaste said: "The Vikings Hedenstad asked for money, we have money, and everyone united to go to the pockets of the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI to pay for it, and the war horses we provided to His Majesty the Emperor were extremely good, and His Majesty the Emperor had nothing to say." ”

Standing before the throne of the Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI, Hedenstad said: "Your Majesty, when your tourmaline was stamped with the Great Seal on this Mandate, the greedy merchant Papaste plunged his head into our noose. ”

The Eastern Roman Emperor Leo VI hesitated, saying, "Is this really good?" Is it legal for us to execute that merchant Papaste? If, this rich merchant, can really bring us 2,000 war horses, so that our army has a strong cavalry, it is better for us to keep him! When I think of the galloping of thousands of horses, I feel excited. ”
