Chapter 277: Exquisite Shuangshu
Chapter 277: Exquisite Shuangshu
In the stable in the backyard of the Bafang Inn, Shang Ren said to Shang Qi worriedly: "Lang Jun, you say, will they die in the pit?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, steal their horses and look away, if something really happens to them, the tolerance will only suspect that the thieves did it."
Shang Qi covered his nose, sneaked into the stable with Shang Ren, untied the reins of the war horses, and prepared to let the war horses go.
"Huh? What is it? ”
On the saddle of a war horse, a cloth bag was hung, and Shang Ren accidentally found a wax pill.
Shang Qi angrily slapped the wax pill off with one hand, and the wax pill on the falling stone cracked, and there seemed to be something in the crack.
"Lang Jun, there are objects in it!" Shang Ren discovered the New World.
The wax pill was completely broken, Shang Qi took out the small note inside, and as the small note was opened, Shang Qi's expression began to be solemn.
"Lang Jun, what's written on it?"
"Shang Ren, let me ask you, should the grace of a drop of water be repaid by gushing springs?" Shang Qi stared at his attendant with a serious and sacred expression.
"Of course, this is the work of a hero, a big husband." Shang Ren is righteous and stern.
"Well, good man! Remember, you hide this piece of paper and rush to Ningyuan City immediately to give it to General Li. This will be related to the life and death of Ningyuan City, so you must be cautious. Shang Qi patted his attendant on the shoulder, looking like I am optimistic about you.
Shang Ren was full of suspicion, and the small note was full of symbols he didn't recognize, and it looked like the four different characters used by the Turks.
"Lang Jun, can you tell me, what is written on it?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Quick, take the horses away first, and don't let the Turgish people ride back to Broken Leaf Town. ”
Without the war horse, even if the Turgish people regained their strength, it would be difficult to return to the broken leaves, and their secret letter was in their own hands. It's not that the innkeeper is lazy and doesn't look at the horses, but the Tuqi Shi people make the backyard smoke to death, and no one wants to stay in the backyard, so it is convenient for the two masters and servants of Shang Qi.
Out of the inn, Shang Qi carefully told Shang Ren: "This little note can't be lost, otherwise you and I won't be able to live with our benefactor." Remember, get to Ningyuan City as soon as possible......"
"Brother, what are you doing? Stealing horses? A crisp voice sounded from behind Shang Qi, startling Shang Qi a lot. Shang Qi turned his head and saw two beauties who looked exactly the same and almost indistinguishable looking at him with a smile.
"Sister Linglong, brother, I have something urgent, don't mess around!"
Shang Qi deliberately kept a straight face, hoping to scare away the two sisters with majesty. The merchant's mansion is opposite the inn, and the two sisters rarely come to the inn, and Shang Qi complains that he is so unlucky for some reason, and he was bumped into.
"Sister Ling'er, have you seen it? Just now two sneaky figures came out of the stable leading the horses. ”
"See, I said Sister Long'er, guess who the two thieves are? If you can't guess, ask your father to guess, and you may have eyebrows. ”
Shuangshu, you say a word, I say a word, and if you don't see their mouths moving, you will definitely not be able to judge who is talking to the two sisters who even have the same voice.
"You guys! Can that be called stealing? I was a righteous ......."
Shang Qi found that even if he had ten mouths, it was difficult to explain the situation clearly, so as soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately changed his smiling face and said flatteringly: "Yo, sister, brother, I came back from Ningyuan City to bring you some gifts, oh, it's two rubies." ”
As he spoke, Shang Qi took out a small paper bag from his arms and put it in his hand, opened it and showed it to Linglong Shuangshu.
"Wow! What a ruby! Give it to me, brother give it to me. ”
Shuangshu shouted excitedly, wanting to take the gift from Shang Qi's hand.
"Ah, wait." Shang Qi withdrew the gift in his hand and said with a smile: "Then did you see anything in the stable just now?" ”
Shuangshu smiled, stretched out her hands in front of Shang Qi's eyes, and said in unison, "No." ”
Looking at the two sisters who left happily, Shang Qi exhaled. Returning to the small note again, the more worries in his heart became, it might not be appropriate to let Shang Ren bring such a note, in case the Tuqi Shi people still have accomplices, it may be bad.
"Lang Jun, don't I have to go to Ningyuan City?"
Shang Ren interrupted Shang Qi's contemplation, from beginning to end, he didn't know what was going on, but the young master ordered him to go to the distant Ningyuan City, in the end, he was still reluctant.
"Smack!" Shang Qi's anger turned into action, which directly acted on Shang Ren's head.
"'Mix' your account, a person without conscience. I would have known that I would have left you in the turquoise cavalry to feed the wolves, if it wasn't for the people from Ningyuan City to save us, we would have been left with no corpses. I want to go to Ning Yuancheng, but my father, cough, forget it, you can listen to me......"
Shang Qi planned to deliver this important news to Ning Yuan City by oral transmission, and he planned to tell Shang Ren the secret in the small note. Unexpectedly, Shang Ren was absent-minded, his eyes stared at Shang Qi's back in a daze, and he opened his mouth but was speechless.
"You're a bastard, what the hell?" Shang Qi hated that iron could not become steel, and when he looked back at Shang Ren's gaze, he was startled again.
"Father, Aaron!" Shang Qi and Shang Ren spoke at the same time, one was exclaiming, and the other was saluting.
The owner of the merchant is called Shang Bafang, who is Shang Qi's father. When he went out today, he happened to find Shang Qi and Shang Ren talking sneakily near the mansion. Shang Qi is his third son, and like the first two sons, he was born to three concubines, although Shang Qi's biological mother was very favored by him, but Shang Qi's undisciplined 'sex' personality was not very undesirable, and he had long excluded Shang Qi from the choice of the merchant's heir. However, Shang Qi's performance has been outstanding recently, and he actually took over the important task of delivering goods to Broken Leaf Town, although he failed and almost died for it, but this son's luck seems to be good, he met a nobleman, he didn't die first, and he suffered blessings later, and with luck and determination, he sold a large number of scarce materials on credit in that strange Ningyuan City, which not only made up for all the losses, but also made a slight profit. Because of this matter, Shang Bafang couldn't help but look at this unsightly son.
"Hmm. What are you doing here? Hey, whose horses do they belong to? Shang Bafang asked Shang Qi for the answer suspiciously. Obviously, in front of him were more than a dozen war horses, and war horses were not just 'get' by ordinary people.
"You steal merchants?"
Looking at Shang Qi's period Ai Ai, Shang Bafang suddenly became suspicious. Recently, there were Turgish people living in the inn, and they brought sturdy war horses, and this son must hate the Turgish people in his heart because of what happened to him in the territory of the Turgish people, and it is entirely possible that the young man with strong blood will make some bloody 'sex' revenge.
Sure enough, Shang Qi did not deny it.
"What?" In the Shang Mansion, Shang Bafang was confused, but he didn't expect that this son, who had just been praised and praised by him for a few days, would cause a monstrous disaster.
"Quick, quickly seal the little note in the wax pill, and return it to the Turgish along with the horses, and be careful not to alarm them."
Shang Bafang was anxious to pace in the living room, not caring about accusing and scolding Shang Qi, and came up with a very ostrich solution.
Shang Qi said anxiously, "Father, don't do this!" Li Huaitang and I have kindness, how can I see death and not save it? ”
"Ridiculous! Are the Turgishites so easy to offend? They even dare to loot the four towns of Anxi, once they find out that we are the ghosts, when the soldiers come to the city and ask for the heads of our whole family by the way, you have thought about such consequences? ”
Shang Bafang felt that the small note in his hand was a life talisman, which involved the merchants in the whirlpool of battles between countries and between the powerful and powerful, which would bring unpredictable disasters to the merchants. Merchants had been of low status since ancient times, and if the day came when he had his thoughts, he had no doubt that those in power would trade their family's heads for peace.
Seeing his father's attitude like this, Shang Qi gave in slightly: "Then, we will 'hand' this letter to Zhao Envoy Jun to expose the 'yin' conspiracy of the Tuqi Shi people." ”
"You son of a, you make trouble, do you know who this Zhao Yuanjun is? It's someone promoted by the martial arts, and the letter says by name that the news comes from the martial family, do you want our whole family to follow you to the end? ”
Shang Bafang had a headache, this matter was so wide and involved that it was not something that a businessman could bear, and if he didn't do it, the business would have to perish.
What to do? Shang Qi and his father were also thinking about this word, but what Shang Qi was thinking about was how to send the news to Ningyuan City. The small note made it very clear that the Tuqi Shi people got conclusive news from the Chang'an martial arts, the Ministry of Rites 'servant' Lang Qi Jishan and his nephew 'daughter' had left Chang'an City and were going to Ningyuan City, Qi Jishan's nephew 'daughter' was the wife of Li Huaitang, the lord of Ningyuan City, and they must be unfavorable to the Tuqi Shi people on this trip, and the envoy of the Tuqi Shi people suggested that the 'Jiao' River Princess send someone to intercept and kill Qi Jishan and his party, and blame the blame on Ningyuan City, thus prompting the Tang Dynasty to send troops to attack Ningyuan City.
"No, return the things to them quietly and let them leave as soon as possible." Shang Bafang made up his mind.
"It's too late, my son gave them all laxative 'medicine', and if I accidentally overdosed, I'm afraid it will ......" Shang Qi gritted his teeth and told the truth to end his father's hope.
"Huh? You, you son of a son, I, kill you, kill you, son of you. ”
Shang Bafang was angry, he stumbled and almost fell to the ground, Shang Qi hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and simply said, "Doesn't my father want the merchant to rise?" Now is the time to go. ”
"Haha, rise? When the catastrophe comes, there is no empty talk about the rise, our business is finished, it is finished......"
Shang Bafang closed his eyes in pain, eager to pick up the knife and greet his son.
Shang Qi said nonchalantly: "Father has never seen the strength of Ning Yuan's iron cavalry, that is called unstoppable, and the Tuqi Shi people are by no means their opponents." My father has never been to Ningyuan City, where there are great business opportunities, as long as our merchants climb the relationship with the city lord Li Huaitang, we will not worry about underdevelopment. Moreover, I think that the status of our merchants in Datang is so low because we don't have a strong backer, if we use Ningyuan City as a backer......"
"Nonsense! Why do you climb their relationship, and why are they willing to be your backer? Just this long note? Shang Bafang was confused, this son just didn't go along with him, and he always walked alone and was out of place.
Shang Qi continued to say amazingly: "This is just one of them, the most important thing is that my son hopes that my father will agree to marry Linglong's sister to Li Huaitang, once we marry him by marriage, the Silk Road will be open in front of us, and at the same time, after the 'waiter' of the Ministry of Rites and he has confirmed the friendly relationship with the Tang Dynasty, those powerful and high-ranking officials still dare to despise our merchants?" Er has a hunch that Li Huaitang will become a hegemon in the Western Regions, and the Tuqi Shi people will be a stepping stone for him to dominate! ”
"This?"
Shang Bafang's heart was moving, and he suddenly felt that what this son said was not unreasonable, as if he saw a glimmer of hope in despair. Just as he was about to defeat the hesitation, there was a movement outside the 'door' of the living room.
"Who?"
"Huh? It's Linglong's sister! ”
The bold Shang Qi rushed to the 'door' and opened the big 'door', and caught the delicate Shuangshu who made Shang Bafang break out in a cold sweat.
"We don't marry, we don't marry that horse bandit Li Huaitang! Ling'er told her mother to go! ”
Shuangshu spoke in unison aggrievedly, and the gaze that looked at Shang Qi never carried such hatred.
Shang Qi said with a humble heart: "Sister, brother won't harm you." I heard my brother say that Li Huaitang is not a Hu person, but his hair is a little shorter, but he is a big hero, a big hero that even the Tuqi Shi people are afraid of. Besides, you're all about to get married, so you have to get married, don't you? Brother has found a good home for you, you should be happy. ”
Shuangshu said in unison with red eyes: "If you want to marry, you will marry yourself." After speaking, he turned to Shang Bafang and pleaded pitifully: "Father! For the sake of your mother, don't marry Ling'er Long'er to the barren land of the Western Regions, and Ling'er Long'er will never see you again in the future. ”
Linglong Shuangshu's biological mother is Shang Bafang's favorite concubine, he loves the house and Wu, he loves the twins very much, this sister who looks exactly the same has a sweet and filial voice, it is simply two pearls in his palm, and he has always wanted to find a satisfactory husband for these two sisters. But reality always conflicts with ideals, just now he has already decided to marry Li Huaitang of Ningyuan City, and Shuangshu's plea made Shang Bafang fall into a dilemma.
"This, Ling'er, Long'er, your brother is right, right now, our business is in trouble, you should help your father and save the business, how about it?" Shang Bafang shamefully rejected Shuangshu's plea.
"Huh? Father, that's a horse bandit, you actually let your 'daughter' marry a horse bandit? ”
Linglong Shuangshu looked at her father in front of her in shock and incredulity, a father who had suddenly become so strange. Once upon a time, this docile father also joked with them that he wanted to find them a graceful and talented Ruyi Langjun in Chang'an City. Now, in the blink of an eye, he forgot what he said before, and he wanted to push the two sisters into the horse bandits' den, Shuangshu couldn't accept such a contrasting drastic change no matter what.
"Nope! Let's go to our mother, we won't marry ......" Linglong Shuangshu cried anxiously, rejecting their father for the first time.
"Hey, my father can't help it." Watching the two little ladies disappear at the bend of the 'door', Shang Bafang felt sorry for himself painfully.
"Father, why do you need to be like this, since ancient times, beauties have admired heroes, and I think that Li Huaitang will not insult Linglong's sister. As long as we gain a foothold in Ningyuan City, the future of our business is immeasurable! ”
Shang Qi couldn't wait to take his father to fly to Ningyuan City, and asked him to see the business opportunities in Ningyuan City, he believed that as long as his father arrived in Ningyuan City, he would definitely change his mind.
Shang Bafang sighed and said, "That's it, that's it, just as you want." This time, San Lang, you go to Ningyuan City in person, well, bring some craftsmen and servants, and bring all the silk tea and porcelain in our warehouse, remember, you are not allowed to come back without my permission, let me stay there, in the future, the merchants in Ningyuan City will count on you. ”
Shang Qi was stunned, he heard that his father was arranging the back road of the merchant...... Please keep in mind the URL, if you like "War Owl in Tang" written by the wolf under the moon
