Chapter 364: Imminent
A mansion built in a desert city, covering an area of more than ten acres, with pavilions, corridors, rockeries, flowers and grass...... In addition to the artificial lake, it is not realistic, the mansions of the powerful in Chang'an should have everything in their homes, and the price of building this mansion is actually ...... Two opals, and the opals were given by someone else.
Cheap and fine...... Except for being a little shameless.
It is said that if you take advantage of others, you should have a sense of owing money, even if you don't give it up like your father, at least you should be low-key when you meet it on the road, and avoid him like a creditor, but Li Su not only did not avoid him, but took the initiative to meet him, with a demeanor and tone with a posture that the consumer is an uncle, and I don't know where this inexplicable uncle mentality comes from.
On the other hand, it seems much more normal, and the opportunity to encounter robbers head-on is not very common.
"Where's the house?" Li Su stared at him with burning eyes: "The money is given, why hasn't the house moved for a long time?" Does that brother want to blackmail me? ”
Na Yan looked up to the sky and sighed.
Two opals, or he gave them, if this is also called "money given,...... Well, it is true that the money was given.
"The caravan that has been entrusted to the east has brought a message, and in a few days there will be merchants bringing in bricks and stones, and there are not many craftsmen in the city to build houses, so I tried my best to gather a dozen or so, and then hired some people, and Li Beijia's house is almost ready to start."
Na Yan's tone was full of deep helplessness, and there was a sense of resignation that the robbers had made dumplings.
Li Su smiled with satisfaction, life is really beautiful to be able to live in a high-quality and inexpensive house.
"Brother, I have a new idea about the house......"
That Yan's face turned green: "Don't drive Li, can you stop talking about the house?" Tell me anything else? ”
"Okay." Li Su agreed very happily.
Then, Li Su began to say something else.
Apparently. Other topics can't be too comforting.
"If His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty does not support Nali, the prime minister of Qiuzi, that is, your cousin usurped the throne, when will Nali command Xizhou at the latest?"
That Yan's old face suddenly became bitter.
"Li Beijia, although I am Nali's nephew, but in terms of Gong Yu, I am just his pawn. Although Qiuzi is small, it is also a country, and the country has its own decision, how can you let me know? ”
Li Su squinted his eyes and smiled: "That brother didn't tell the truth, you can run for the prime minister of the country, and ask the country's secrets to entrust you, you are not just Nali's pawn, although you are beyond the court of the Qiuzi country." But there should be no light weight in the country......"
Na Yan sighed and said: "Li Bei's eyes are like torches, villains don't dare to hide it, let's be honest, if the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers refuse the prime minister, Nali will choose to completely fall to the Western Turks, and since His Majesty the Tang Emperor Zhenguan suppressed the Eastern Turks in the fourth year, countless tribesmen have fled to the Western Turks. And he has a grudge against Datang, and has intended to counterattack for many years. In order to reproduce the former glory of the steppe Turkic tribes, the Western Turkic tribes, including the Ebilu Khan, could not wait for a suitable opportunity......"
"Now that the Tang Emperor has mobilized the whole country to conquer Xue Yantuo in the north, Xizhou only has the strength of two Zhichong Prefectures, and it is unrighteous for the Tang Dynasty to occupy Xizhou, which originally belonged to the Gaochang Kingdom. If Prime Minister Nali was rejected by the Tang Emperor, it was inevitable that he would raise troops angrily, and the Western Turks needed this opportunity, whether it was time or situation. The countries of the Western Regions will soon be twisted into a rope, and at that time, it will be the day of the fall of the Western State......"
Na Yan sighed: "It's not too far from this day, there is news from Chang'an, His Majesty the Tang Emperor is on a northern expedition, Chang'an is supervised by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the lord of Qiuci Bai Ha Li Bu lost his battle with Nali and has been defeated repeatedly, so in April this year, Bu Shi Bi sent an envoy to worship Chang'an, since the Sui Dynasty, the hostility between Qiuzi and the Central Plains Han soil has finally thawed, His Royal Highness the Prince set up a banquet in the East Palace to entertain the envoys, saying that the Tang Dynasty will not live up to the lord of Qiuci, and only Bai Hali will be the orthodox of the Qiuci country for generations, this sentence will eventually make the Prime Minister Nali completely disappointed, Now I'm afraid that I'm already planning to force the royal family and depose the lord of the country......"
Li Su's eyelids jumped: "If the lord of the country is deposed......"
Na Yan glanced at him lightly, and said: "After the dethronement of the lord of the country, since the Qing Dynasty was abolished, the soldiers and horses were rectified, and the Western Turks, Gaochang and other countries were united to attack Xizhou, which is far away, in fact, it must be a snap of a finger, less than three months, more than half a year, Li Don't drive, the Western Regions countries attack Xizhou is a foregone conclusion, there is no escape, I still said last time, don't plan the back road quickly, and return to Chang'an for the best policy." ”
Na Yan said very sincerely, Li Su had heard similar things say to him before.
Urging again and again, Li Su knew that the day when the Western Regions would attack Xizhou was getting closer and closer.
"In other words, there is still at most half a year before the countries of the Western Regions attack Xizhou, right?" Li Su asked calmly.
"That's right."
Li Su blinked: "If I order you to be tied to the city tower and put a knife on your neck, will your cousin retreat?" ”
Na Yan's old face suddenly darkened: "The people I knew before were all righteous men and gentlemen, and no one had ever done this, but the war between the two countries, you live or die, don't say that I am just Nali's nephew, even if Li Beijia put a knife on the neck of Nali's old father and mother, it must be useless." ”
Li Su glanced at him with disdain: "You people in the Guizi Kingdom are too undisciplined!" ”
That Yan looked at him speechlessly, in comparison, you are even more undisciplined, right? His lips twitched a few times, and in view of Li Su's abnormal and violent attributes, Na Yan didn't dare to refute after all.
After the contempt, Li Su breathed a sigh of relief and asked coldly, "...... Are Nari's parents still alive? ”
Na Yan was completely speechless: "............"
Looking up at the sky, Na Yan began to brew excuses, it was really not a pleasant experience to talk to such a person, and it would make people feel violent at any time, and get rid of him quickly.
"Don't use the sky as an excuse, am I that annoying?" Li Su was very unkind to debunk Na Yan's trick in advance: "We can change the topic, there are so few acquaintances and even fewer friends in Xizhou City, no friends will make me lonely and cold, I finally caught you, I can't let you run away easily......"
Na Yan breathed a sigh of relief, well, in fact, Li Su is not bad, if you change the topic to make both parties happy, it will be even better.
Li Su is a person who is very good at chatting, so he really changed the topic.
“…… Nari's parents also have the last name, right? ”
Nayan: "............"
Why use a knife to kill? This young man has the strength to drive people crazy with a few words.
"Don't drive Li, let's talk about your house......" Na Yan sighed.
Li Su's eyes lit up, he liked this topic.
"When will the caravan from Shazhou arrive in Xizhou? I'm waiting for them to bring me the bricks and stones. ”
Na Yan thought about it for a while and said, "It's about a month or so that I can come to Xizhou." ”
Li Su blinked: "How many caravans are there?" ”
"Four or five, let's transport it back and forth a few times, Li Beijia's house almost has a look."
Li Su's expression suddenly became a little more serious: "After the caravan came to Xizhou, I also invited that brother to come forward to invite, I want to invite the leaders of those caravans to a banquet." ”
Na Yan looked at him in surprise: "Feast? ”
Li Su smiled kindly: "Yes, for a banquet, people have come all the way to bring me bricks and stones, and it is really a proper duty to invite them to have a drink." ”
After a pause, Li Su said again: "...... The money to build a house, I bothered that brother to help me pay it up, and I will pay you back after I am transferred to Chang'an by His Majesty in the next year. ”
That Yan smiled bitterly, the words are good, in fact, it has the same meaning as meat buns beating dogs.
After chatting, Li Su said goodbye to Na Yan with satisfaction and turned to leave.
The moment he turned around, Na Yan finally couldn't help but say: "Li Beijia, my cousin wants to attack Xizhou, but you can rest assured that I will live in Xizhou City?" ”
Li Su turned his head and smiled meaningfully: "Do you think I shouldn't be reassured?" ”
This rhetorical question stopped Na Yan, and he was silent for a long time, and then Na Yan smiled bitterly: "I'm just a businessman in troubled times." ”
As if explaining, and like comforting, Li Su understood, so he also smiled: "Give you a knife, do you dare to kill people and set fire in Xizhou City?" ”
"Don't dare."
"So, you're just a businessman now, and when you dare to kill and set fire, I'll chop you up with a knife."
***************************************************************
Li Su didn't have much of a guard against Na Yan, and of course, it was impossible to completely reassure him.
Some things can be said in the open, but some things can only be done in the dark, and Na Yan may also be aware that there are inexplicably more untimely people around his residence in Xizhou City, pretending to hang around him.
Since the two of them have made it clear that the carriage and horses are present, these untimely people are naturally the proper meaning of the question.
At this time, Na Yan didn't dare to leave Xizhou, staying in Xizhou could survive, once he stepped out of the gate of Xizhou, Li Su might not be too polite to him.
That Yan sadly found that now he is not only a chess piece in the hands of his cousin, but at the same time, unconsciously, he has also become a chess piece in Li Su's hands, his identity is very delicate, staying in the city, everyone is happy, not relatives are better than relatives, leaving Xizhou, friends will immediately become enemies, he believes that Li Su will get rid of him at all costs.
The war between countries has always been so cruel and ruthless, compared to it, the friendship between private individuals is too fragile, this truth, Li Su understands, and Na Yan also understands.
