Chapter 248: Rupture
Ah Zheng stood in the middle of King Yelu's tent, listening to the endless noise of a group of old men around him, but his face was always indifferent, as if he didn't hear it.
King Yelu and several elders almost said all the good things, but Ah Zheng was still unmoved.
Yelu Wushu stood aside, as Ah Zheng's friend for many years, but he didn't dare to come up and say anything at this moment.
Yelu Wushu understands that Ah Zheng doesn't necessarily have to forgive King Yelu or anything, Ah Zheng is actually just bored.
Speaking of which, at the beginning, Ah Zheng was just an abandoned baby, but he came to this point today and fell into such a difficult situation, which must be what Ah Zheng didn't want, and everyone didn't expect.
Ah Zheng was stunned for a while, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, he lifted his robe and knelt down on one knee, arched his hand, and said slowly but resolutely: "Thank you for the kindness of the Yelu Department for raising me." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people in the tent were stunned.
This is...... Farewell?
Ah Zheng frowned and said: "I hereby swear that after leaving the Yelu Ministry, I will never join Mongolia, and from now on, everything on the grassland has nothing to do with me." As soon as these words came out, there was no turning back.
"Ah Zheng ......" Yelu Wushu frowned and couldn't help but shout.
Ah Zheng stood up, looked at Yelu Wushu, and suddenly smiled heartily, but that smile made Yelu Wushu feel inexplicably bitter.
In today's situation, Ah Zheng only made one request, that is, the Yelu tribe should not embarrass Ningxia Qing because of him, and do not break the trade between Wushu and Ningxia Qing, it seems that he has nothing else to speak of.
When Ah Zheng walked out of King Yelu's tent, he saw Ning Ningqing waiting for him at the door.
She stood there, bathed in the morning light of the prairie.
Although she is dominating in the business field, she does not have any calculating appearance at the moment, and the whole person is comfortable and leisurely, like a wife waiting for her husband to come out, and she is tilting her head to play with a small milk sheep not far away.
Ah Zheng glanced at her, didn't say anything, walked up to her, and walked side by side with her. Obviously, she came over after hearing what Ah Zheng left for her.
Ning Xia Qing was a little cautious and said cautiously: "Haven't you eaten breakfast yet?" I asked Cuiyu to prepare something to eat, let's go back. ”
Ah Zheng paused for a moment, but said, "The eldest prince still has some follow-up things to deal with, I have to go over." ”
Ning Xia Qing glared at Ah Zheng with big eyes, then squeezed out a smile and nodded desperately, Ah Zheng pulled the corners of his mouth in response, and then left here.
After Ah Zheng left, Ning Ningqing had no smile on his face, only endless worries.
She knew that she had used Ah Zheng and personally brokered the break between Ah Zheng and the Yelu tribe.
Ah Zheng once said that he had no home and was used to wandering, but Ning Xia Qing would not really think that Ah Zheng had no feelings for the Yelu tribe that had raised him for many years.
Although it is said that because Ah Zheng's reputation on the grassland has made Ah Zheng and the Yelu tribe suspicious, maybe the break with each other is a matter of time, but it is enough to be promoted by Ningxia Qing himself, which is different for Ah Zheng.
If it's someone else who is pushing this matter, maybe it's nothing. But it's Ningxia green.
She knew that she was sorry for Ah Zheng, she went around and around, and finally took advantage of him.
She felt that Ah Zheng, who came out of King Yelu's tent, had regret and loneliness on his face that she had never seen before.
The Yelu tribe voluntarily withdrew from the competition for the sale of horses, and the trade naturally fell into the hands of the Mongol tribes. Because of the discord, Ah Zheng and the meritorious prince of the Yelu tribe were handpicked by the Great Khan to preside over all the affairs of cooperation with the merchants of the Central Plains.
The eldest prince had just taken over the fame, but the general suddenly stood up and said quite "kindly" that the eldest prince was still young and had no experience in operating the trade of horses, so he suggested that the eldest prince must be cautious this time.
There are words in the words of the Great General Qishou, and the Great Prince will not fail to hear it, and the Great Khan will not fail to hear it.
The Great Khan asked in passing, and the general Qishou suggested that before signing a contract with the Central Plains merchants, the eldest prince should let those Central Plains merchants take out the materials and put them all on the table for everyone to see, and choose the best materials to make a deal, instead of signing the contract casually without even seeing the materials.
General Qi Shou said this very reasonably, the Great Khan naturally had no objections, and the Great Prince could not refute anything.
The next day, Xiao Jingyuan, Ningxia Qing and others came to the Mongolian king's tent with materials.
Speaking of which, in fact, there were more than two merchants from the Central Plains who came to the Mongolian tribe to discuss the sale of horses this time, but when the rest of the people heard that Xiao Jingyuan intended to make this order, most of them withdrew, and the rest did not have any desire to compete, just came to go through the motions with a look of pride.
Everyone knows that Mongolia's Qishou general is Xiao Jingyuan's brother-in-law. The so-called head of Qi means that he is on the same level as the leader of the Mongol tribe - that is, the Great Khan, and naturally he will not really be able to compete with the Great Khan, but it is definitely above 10,000 people under one person. The Xiao family has such a backer, where do the rest of the people dare to compete with the Xiao family?
In addition to the Xiao family's backers, the Xiao family's imperial satin is also very famous in the north. Imperial satin is the satin used by the royal family in the Central Plains, and it is also the satin that the royal families of various tribes are qualified to use in the north.
Just when Ning Xia Qing walked into the Mongolian royal tent, which was expanded to accommodate hundreds of people, she saw the Xiao Emperor's satin at a glance.
However, what she saw was not the material on display by Xiao Jingyuan, but the material worn by a woman.
The woman was born with the appearance of a Han person, wearing imperial satin and sitting in a high position in the royal tent, surrounded by the surrounding northerners, the woman looked particularly petite. The woman sat upright, with the smile that everyone in the Central Plains often had, but the smile was a little stiff, as if it was engraved on her face.
The woman was motionless and, to be honest, a little ...... Like a dead man......
Of course, Ning Xia Qing knew that the other party was not a dead person, she just felt that the woman was like a puppet doll, like a sugar man...... Motionless, it looks eerie.
Ning Xia Qing felt that this person must be the master of Yin Hua!
It wasn't until the other party moved that Ning Xia Qing came back to his senses and hurriedly looked away from the other party.
I saw that Lord Yin Hua Weng was talking to several noble Northland women beside him. The women from the north seemed to be inquiring about the material on the Yin Hua Weng Lord, and the Yin Hua Weng Lord replied enthusiastically, with a kind smile at the same time, so vividly, it didn't look like a puppet doll, just like an ordinary aristocratic woman.
Ningxia Qing knew that the noble women of the Mongolian tribes, such as Lord Yinhua Weng, would decide whose materials would be purchased in the end.
Lord Yin Hua Weng was talking to a few noble ladies, and several people looked very enthusiastic. The people of the Northland do not pay so much attention to the defense of men and women, and next to those noble ladies, there are also Mongolian Great Khan, Qi Shou General, Great Prince and others, who are also chatting enthusiastically, and Ah Zheng is still sitting in the position of the head.
Ah Zheng clearly vowed not to join the Mongol tribes, but with his special status, it was not surprising that he would appear at the top.
The top position of the Mongols was about a foot high, extremely wide and wide, about enough to fit hundreds of people, there were countless small ones placed in such a large open space, and the top was full of melons, fruits and wines, Ning Xia Qing and Ning San stood below together, watching each family take out their own materials to display.
In fact, there is almost nothing to see. Most of the businessmen who came from afar withdrew after learning that the Xiao family intended to compete for glory, and the rest were just here to go through the motions, and even their expressions were full of frustration, so they casually picked up the material and showed it and went down.
Ningxia Qing stood there, looking boredly. Unlike Master Ning San, Ning Xia Qing almost didn't move much, she didn't dare to look at Shang Shou, not only did she not dare to look at the Yin Hua Weng Lord who was born like a puppet doll, but she also thought that she didn't dare to look at Ah Zheng.
In this way, she has been standing there quietly, and she is a bit like a puppet doll in such a quiet way.
It wasn't until Xiao Jingyuan came out that Ningxia Qing finally woke up.
Sure enough, as Ningxia Qing expected, Xiao Jingyuan didn't bring other materials, but directly took a royal satin with a very similar color to the lord of Yinhua Weng.
The climate on Tianquan Mountain is special, and the silk produced is delicate and flexible, with abnormal luster, and can show different colors at different angles. Such a special luster will make everyone who sees it can't help but sigh.
Sometimes it looks like a girl's cheeks in the morning, sometimes like a lake blown by the wind in the sunset, sometimes like the phosphorescent light on a butterfly's wings, and sometimes like the faint glow of a bamboo leaf after the rain has passed. The luster is like slippery water, soft smoke, flowing clouds, and blurred ink...... It's more like a beautiful Yin Hua lord sitting on the top.
As everyone knows, the most precious silk in the world is all produced in the Central Plains, and the most precious silk in the Central Plains is the Xiao silk produced in Tianquan Mountain, and the imperial satin woven by Xiao silk is the most precious material today. And the Xiao family even took out the imperial satin directly, which seems to be bound to win this order.
Ning Ningqing was not afraid at all, but was thinking about something else.
She was thinking, Xiao Jingyuan must be really anxious this time, it seems that she is about to push the other party to the extreme.
Xiao Shi rarely shows off the imperial satin directly, let alone takes out the imperial satin on such an occasion. Today, it is necessary to choose high-quality fabrics for long-term cooperation, but the silk output of Tianquan Mountain is extremely low, and three experienced textile workers can only weave a royal satin a year, such an output, Xiao Shi simply can't supply a large number of people here.
That is to say, even if the Xiao family gets the list of the Mongolian tribes with the imperial satin, the goods supplied here in the future cannot be the imperial satin, at most it is the Xiao family's amber silk, Fuxing brocade, apricot satin, Xin silkworm Luo or something. As a result, Xiao's practice today is somewhat suspected of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.
But Xiao still took out the imperial satin, indicating that Xiao Jingyuan was really in a hurry.
However, with the luster and reputation of the imperial satin, and the face that the lord of Yin Hua Weng personally wore on his body, even if many people felt that Xiao's move was inappropriate, who would dare to say anything?
The imperial satin is placed on the table, and the lord of Yin Hua Weng sits on the top, which means that it is very obvious, many noble ladies are vying to say something, Ning Xia Qing can't understand what they say, but from their expressions, Ning Xia Qing can see that they are praising Xiao's imperial satin.
If nothing else, Shaw's Imperial Satin will definitely win today's game.
The expression on Master Ning San's face was very ugly, and he glared at Xiao Jingyuan and Tan Wenshi fiercely, and then hurriedly leaned into Ning Ningqing's ear and asked anxiously: "They take the imperial satin out, isn't this a scoundrel." What can we do now? If you don't do something, you'll lose to them. ”
Ning Xia Qing knew that if nothing else, the Xiao family's imperial satin would definitely win.
It's just that Ningxia Qing has already prepared an "accident" for Xiao Jingyuan.
Xiao Jingyuan's imperial satin was displayed, and it was time for Ningxia Qing to play. The translator called Ning's name, but Ning Ningqing did not step forward, but turned to the back and looked in the direction of the door.
Immediately, the eldest prince walked in from outside.
When they saw the eldest prince, everyone was shocked, and they didn't know when the eldest prince, who was originally sitting at the top, left. It turned out that the eldest prince had quietly gone out when the imperial satin exhibition caused a commotion just now, but everyone was amazed by the luster of the imperial satin at that time, and the eldest prince deliberately concealed people's eyes, so no one noticed.
Xiao Jingyuan couldn't help frowning, obviously he didn't expect such a thing, and he couldn't understand which play Ningxia Qinghe was going to play.
When the eldest prince walked in, he waited there respectfully, and then a man who no one expected entered the huge king's tent.
In an instant, everyone was stunned, and then the noble women at the top stood up and saluted, and in addition to the Mongol Great Khan, the men at the head also stood up and signaled. There was silence in the king's tent.
