That night, in the small flower hall of Zhangfu.

There are no outsiders, Zhang Xiaochun and Li Guang talked privately, and when they talked to the princes who were still in the sergeant academy, they were quite embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, the dragon is fierce and fierce, such as the spring and autumn season, why do you seem anxious? Ten years later, today's teenagers have never been unable to make great achievements. "I finally made it to the prince's teacher, but one by one I was already out first. Zhang Xiaochun said.

Li Guang laughed. "Although Your Majesty is the Ming monarch and the hero, the dragon son and the dragon heir, all of them are extraordinary. If some more characters are allowed to enter, I am afraid that His Majesty will also feel a headache. ”

At this time, there were no outsiders, so the younger brother told the truth to the elder brother. Among His Majesty's princes, I am the most admired of the three princes. It's not because my niece entered the Three Princes' Mansion, but because the facts of that day are very clear. The three princes are resolute and promising, benevolent and loving the people, and more responsible. The elder brother should also know that the pressure he was under that day was no worse than that of the younger brother. Li Guang's words were very explicit. Although Lu Qian's princes are all all-round talents in civil and military affairs, and there are no bad deeds, he is Lu Chuan is real contact, and he believes in his own eyes.

"My brother is not in Middle-earth, and he has no close contact with several princes, but he will hear a rumor or two. What do you think of the three princes? ”

This question made Zhang Xiaochun stunned for a moment, but Li Guang's inclination was also expected by him.

Li Guang's matter can be understated by Emperor Lu and let it go, and there are no three princes in the middle.

Now it's because he's far away from the capital that he asks that, right?

"That's the truth. The temperament of the three princes ...... "How do you say it?" According to Zhang Xiaochun, it was a bit impulsive.

"Can my brother tell the specific reason for the third prince's impulsive personality?"

"It can be said there. Thousands of miles away from overseas, I just occasionally hear a few words, which is a mixed bag. But since the virtuous brother values the three princes so much, it must be because he has something extraordinary. ”

"My brother has been away from Jinling for too long, so my younger brother has prepared some gifts, which can be used to pass the time when my brother has nothing to do." Li Guang said and took out a pamphlet from his cuff, which was densely covered with small characters. This is also knowing that there are eyes to bring in the world, otherwise it would be useless for Zhang Xiaochun to take them.

"It's ......"

"It's a little thing. It can be collected by anyone who has a heart, from small to large. Some of the things on it seem naïve now, but three years old is not. Li Guang smiled heartily.

The third prince never pretends to do things, and when he is annoyed, he dares to stare at Emperor Lu, but he has always done things quite well. He felt more and more that he was suitable.

……

Then turn your gaze to the sky.

There have been many secret contacts between Lu Qi and Baghdad. There is a feeling in each other that the original agreement is getting closer and closer.

But whether it is dry firewood meets fire, or hungry wolves meet treachery, it is difficult to say.

In recent days, more and more sulphur and copper and iron have flowed into the port of Sohar from the fertile land of the crescent.

Sulphur is the largest traded item, and the fertile crescent is rich in sulphur ore. Lu Qi now has no way of knowing that the sulfur reserves of the fertile crescent are enough to rank among the top ten in the world. But the amount of sulfur produced here is large and the price is low, which is simply what Lu Qijun dreamed of.

In the case that the saltpeter mine can be solved from Tianzhu, the sulfur mine can be solved in Tianfang, which is simply blessed by God, and will greatly reduce the transportation pressure of Lu Qi's sailors. In the future, it will provide great convenience for Lu Qi to dominate the entire Heavenly World.

But the Seljuks who remained in the Fertile Crescent were not all blind. They can ignore the whereabouts of a small caliphate scholar like al-Qa'im, but they won't turn a blind eye to the growing smuggling.

Brimstone is also a controlled item in the Seljuks.

"Your Excellency, Honorable Envoy, we meet again!" As soon as he entered the door, Kayim bowed deeply to Song Qing, looking respectful.

He knew very well that with the deepening of the friendship between Baghdad and Lu Qi, the weight of the Chinese Song Qing in the heart of the caliph was much greater than him. Now Kayim is only Gou, who wants to raise his eyebrows, and even wait for the Abbasids to be established.

"My friend, you're welcome, please take a seat." Song Qing was very kind, he didn't put on a show, and beckoned him to sit down. But Kaim muttered in his heart, the reason why he came today is to apologize for what happened before. Song Qing's friendly attitude only reminded him of the smiling tiger. "We had a meeting just now, and I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"Where to say. Your Excellency has worked state affairs, and I can't even admire it, how can I complain. Kayim said hurriedly.

Song Qing had a smile on his face, and Kaim's heart jumped when he saw it. "Do you know what we all discussed at the meeting?"

"Do you know how much trouble the brimstone has caused to our army after the embargo?"

"Because of your brimstone, we've stopped shipping brimstone lately, and now our plans have been disrupted......"

Evolving from a smiling tiger to a real tiger, Song Qing was only in three or two sentences.

Of course, there are still many traces left by the old times in the past, he is a small fan, has a very good attitude towards people, never behaves, and even if his rich face is as fierce as a tiger, there is a vague joy of "harmony and wealth".

There was silence in the conference hall, Song Qing restrained the fierce color on his face, slowly and leisurely picked up the teacup, and gently blew a few sips.

"You're here for the sake of the sulfur export, right? I wonder what His Majesty the Caliph has to say? ”

The armor and crossbow that Muktafi urgently needed were all in Lu Qi's hands. The use of sulfur, copper and iron to trade the armor bow and crossbow in Lu Qi's hands is a typical 'industrial scissors poor'.

"Yes, Your Excellency." Qayim nodded hurriedly, "The situation in our country, I have already written a letter of love before, and His Majesty the Caliph is also deeply sorry, and I ask your lord to forgive me for my country's suffering......"

It was not easy for them to camp under the watchful eye of the Seljuks.

"Hey, but this big trouble you've caused is too great......" The wry smile on Song Qing's face was not fake. The source of the sulphur was cut off, bringing the recent manufacture of medicinal powders on the coast of Enze and the port of Homus to a direct halt. But the fact is that the warehouses on the coast of Enze and the port of Homus have long been filled with enough powder. After all, of the three required items, sulfur has the lowest ratio. "It came so suddenly, all of a sudden, our source of sulphur was cut off, and the impact on us was hard to tell......"

Although Song Qing's tone was very gentle and he just complained, Kayim was a little frightened when he heard it, and his back was a little cold.

Who told Baghdad to count on Lu Qi now?

And by virtue of the smuggling transaction, the caliph already had thousands of sets of armor in his hands, Chinese-style armor, which greatly enhanced his strength.

If this situation is not resolved in a timely manner, it is difficult to say whether it will have an impact on the signing of the cooperation agreement between the two sides. After all, Baghdad can't even solve this "little thing", how can Lu Qi 'see' the strength of the caliphate? Some of the terms and figures of the agreement will definitely change.

"I'm really sorry that Lu Qi has been affected by my country's affairs!" Qayim stood up and looked at Song Qing again, "It's just that the current situation really doesn't alarm the Seljuks, and the caliph is already trying to dredge it, and I hope that Your Excellency Haihan will be able to do so in the short term." ”

"Don't be impatient, don't be impatient." Song Qing was still smiling, and waved his hand to signal Kaim to sit down again. "We fully understand your country's difficulties! In the face of the overall bilateral situation, His Majesty the Caliph cannot act rashly in the current situation. ”

"In good faith, we are willing to continue to provide help and support to His Majesty the Caliph to the best of our ability in accordance with the previous agreement. ……”

The turn came so suddenly.
