Chapter 81: Evil Money Floods and Snipes Fight for One

The spring breeze is warm and the fragrance of flowers is bursting. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info please search! Ayi Tenggna, who was wearing a blue skirt with the fastest update, stood on tiptoe in front of the window of Jian Ruoxi's office on the third floor of the hot pot restaurant. She looked at the flowery peach and willow green Chang'an City, sniffed the elegant fragrance in the wind, and her little face was as clear as the blue sky.

"Office, Xiao Langjun always likes to choose some strange names." After retracting her gaze into the room, Aitengena remembered the name Wang Fei had given to this room, and she still felt very embarrassed.

The first floor of the hot pot restaurant is the lobby for ordinary guests, the second floor is a private room for entertaining VIPs, and the third floor is divided into two halves, half is a private room for receiving important visitors, and is not open to the public, and the other half is similar to the official room of the yamen, which is used to deal with the chores in the store, and Wang Fei named it "office".

Wang Fei naturally has an independent office, and Jian Ruoxi is the actual operator of the hot pot restaurant, and there is also a separate room. There is a room for the bookkeepers, and a large room for the guys.

Wang Fei proposed to arrange an office for Ayitengna, but she refused. She felt that she didn't use it much, and that it was a waste of space. Besides, when she came to the store anyway, she either followed Wang Fei or helped Jian Ruoxi.

There is also a three-deep courtyard behind the main hall of the hot pot restaurant. In fact, the original layout of the hot pot restaurant was a four-deep mansion, but Wang Fei demolished all the walls and wings of the first entrance courtyard and transformed it into a square, and built a three-story main hall as a storefront.

The second entrance to the east and west wings of the courtyard is a warehouse, which is full of charcoal fire and daily harvest coins used in hot pot restaurants. The second main hall is a shop, and some of the new gadgets launched by Suyeju one after another are displayed and sold here. The third courtyard is a mansion for the men and the samurai of the Suha Dart Bureau. The most relible courtyard is for Bei Wang Fei, Wang Yong, Ayi Tenggena and Jian Ruoxi and others to live in from time to time.

Of course, the courtyard is often empty. Before Wang Feilai arrived in Chang'an, he sent people to buy a medium-sized house covering an area of more than ten acres in Jinchengfang, north of Xishi, where Wang Fei, Wang Yong, Su Sanniang, Ayitengna, Bakut and others lived. Dozens of detached guards and Su Ye dart masters are responsible for guarding the safety of the house.

Wang Zhengjian has an ancestral house in Qinrenfang, Chang'an, where Wang Jue lived after he came to Beijing to take up his post. Wang Fei really didn't want to live under the same roof with Wang Jue, and discussed with his father before coming to Chang'an to live alone. Wang Zheng saw that there was a knot between the two sons, so he agreed to Wang Fei's request.

The Beiting Jinjuan naturally arranged an official residence for Wang Yong, and Wang Yong and Su Sanniang sometimes lived there, but they still preferred to live in the lively Jinchengfang mansion.

Aitengna knew that Bakut was expecting her to choose to live alone with her guards, but Aitengna didn't even think about it.

Ayi Tenggena also knew that after the hot pot restaurant became famous, Xiao Langjun asked Jian Ruoxi to buy a large manor in Liujia Village, in the western suburbs of Chang'an City. Although Aitengna had not yet visited the manor outside the city, she believed that there must be many secret weapons hidden there.

In the office, in addition to the gentleness of the wind and the fragrance of the grass and trees, there is also a crackling sound echoing from time to time. Jian Ruoxi, who was buried in the mountain ledger, held the abacus beads with the pen in one hand and the abacus beads in the other, concentrating on calculating the surplus of income and expenditure since the opening of the hot pot restaurant and the gold and silver coins in and out of the store, and did not care about enjoying the intoxicating scenery outside the window.

"Brother's letter is about to arrive, right?" In the beautiful spring light, Aitengana thought far away, and once again worried about the city of Talas, which was thousands of miles away: "The Spring Festival Gala in the river should still be icy and snowy now." Even in Tingzhou, March is still the time when the mountain flowers are about to bloom, not like Chang'an, which has been stacked with thousands of purples and thousands of reds. ”

Thinking of the long road between Talas and Chang'an, Aitengna sighed lightly, and couldn't help but worry about the future of the Tuqi Division.

After the Great War of Talas, Xiao Langjun's Suyeju took Tingzhou as its base camp, and continued to expand westward to Gongyue City, Broken Leaf City, Tuozhi City and Talas City, gradually establishing a coherent trade route in the river. Before coming to Chang'an, the Mulu branch of Suyeju had just opened. Xiao Langjun has always paid close attention to the movements of the Great Food Country, and according to his plan, Suyeju must expand to Baghdad and Damascus in the future.

Compared with the westward expansion, the pace of Suyeju's eastward expansion was relatively slow. In more than two years, it is only worthy of establishing branches in Dunhuang and Wuwei, which are important cities on the Silk Road. And the reason why Su Yeju was able to take root in Wuwei City was inseparable from the support of Wang Fei's uncles, the Wuwei Zhang family.

Thanks to Suyeju's growing caravans and semicolons, Aitengana and her brother Kudulu were able to maintain a smooth communication. When she was in Tingzhou, almost every month, Ayitengana received a letter from Kutulu.

Although Kudulu already has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his tent, it seems to be a force in the river that should not be underestimated. But in the letters to his sister, he was like a nagging old woman, babbling about trivial things: how many lambs were born in the tribe in the spring when the flowers bloomed, how many foals grew up in the summer sun, where to hunt in the bleak autumn wind, how to harvest the most in the cold and windy winter, and how to deal with the possible blizzard...... In the letter, Kudulu never mentioned the pressure on the survival of the Tuqi tribe, nor did he ask when his sister would leave Tingzhou.

In addition to the initial relayment of Xiao Langjun's suggestion to "build a high wall and accumulate grain without provocation", Aitenggena's reply only talked about the daily life and anecdotes in Tingzhou, and never asked what the future of the Tuqi tribe should be. The siblings carefully concealed their differences, after all, they were each other's only remaining relatives in the world.

However, although Kudulu didn't say it, the information collected by Aitengana through Xiao Langjun still had a general idea of the situation of the Turk Division. From the surface, the strength of the Ministry of Riding has been continuously enhanced, and the dream of recovering the country is no longer far away.

However, through the still surface of the lake, Aitengana could clearly perceive the lurking undercurrents. The biggest hidden danger of the Turkish tribe at present is that the foundation is too unreliable. The reason why Kudulu was able to entrench himself in Talas City, in addition to the first-mover advantage, was more because the river festival made Ashinayang's control over the countries in the river not yet firm, and he had no intention of wasting troops on the Tuqi tribe for the time being.

What worried Aitengana was that once Ashinayang was forced by external forces or determined to eradicate the Turks, the walls of Talas would never be able to block the sharp siege weapons of the Tang army in the river.

Ayitengna also hesitated whether to ask Xiao Langjun to provide a batch of fierce oil fire to the Tuqi Shi Department. But as soon as this idea came to mind, she denied it by herself. First, it was because she knew that although Xiao Langjun was not hostile to the Tuqi Shi Department, he would never hand over such a sharp weapon to her brother who might clash with the Tang Army. Second, she was worried that with the fierce oil fire, her brother might lose his caution and wantonly provoke Ashinayang, which was definitely not Ayi Tenggena's original intention.

Therefore, when Xiao Langjun decided to come to Chang'an to participate in the imperial examination, after careful consideration, Ai Tenggena asked Wang Zhengjian to allow him to enter Beijing together. And the name of her going to Beijing is to participate in the Yuanri Dynasty as an envoy of the Tuqi Shi Department and worship the Heavenly Khan.

The magnificent scene of the Yuan Ri Dynasty Party was indeed shocking, but Aitengna, who was full of worries, did not care to appreciate the treasures that filled the square. Her eyes were always focused on the Heavenly Khan, Li Linfu, Yang Guozhong and Chen. The every move of Xi Lie and other Tang monarchs and ministers tried to judge the focus of their attention and the true attitude of the Tang Dynasty to the Tuqi Shi Ministry.

When the Tobe Shangshu, who was in charge of reading out the list of treasures, read "The lord of the Zhenzhu County of the Turbulent Cavalry Department has presented twenty horses", Aitengana keenly noticed that the Heavenly Khan, who was sitting on the throne, only nodded slightly, and did not look any more; The Tang courtiers were also unmoved, and did not particularly care about the Turgis who reappeared in the ranks of the Hajj after many years.

"After the Battle of Rus, the Chang'an court's enthusiasm for Hezhong was greatly reduced, and the main focus was on the war with Tibet. Before the victory or defeat of the battle in Jiannan is decided, my brother should not suffer too much pressure. After making such a judgment, Aitengna's tense heartstrings eased, and she pondered for a moment how to describe the grand occasion of the Yuanri Dynasty to her brother in the letter, and then began to seriously examine the beautiful Hanyuan Hall and the various imperial envoys in the palace.

At a glance, Aitenggena found many acquaintances in the Chaoji envoys: Feng Changqing, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu with a dignified expression, frowned thoughtfully; The delicate-faced Gelulu Xiaoye Protector Rasihan is graceful and majestic; The high-spirited Prince Ye Hu is always polite, but there is still arrogance in his eyes......

Of course, among all the envoys of the court, Ayi Tenggena is naturally the most familiar with Wang Yong, the envoy of the Beiting soldiers and horses who has known each other for many years. When her eyes swept to Wang Yong's location, Ayi Tenggana suddenly found that the contour of the face of an envoy of the court in front of Wang Yong was somewhat similar to Wang Yong.

However, Wang Yong's temperament was as restrained as a glacier on the Tianshan Mountains, and the expression of the imperial envoy was as flamboyant as a flying flame. The difference in temperament makes it easy to ignore the similarity in the appearance of the two, but Aitengna and Wang Yong are too familiar, so they can find the similarity in appearance through the difference between ice and fire.

"What a coincidence, there are people in the world who look so similar?" Ayi Tenggana was a little surprised, and sighed secretly: "Xiao Langjun often says that the face of the county lord of Xiaoyun resembles one of his old people, but he never wants to say who that old man is. Although I believe that Xiao Langjun has never lied, I think that only brothers and sisters will be close in appearance. Now I'm still shallow. ”

After the dissolution of the great court, Ayi Tenggana pulled a small yellow door and asked, only to know that the envoy of the court who was a little similar to Wang Yong was Wang Sili, the envoy of Longyou's soldiers and horses.

On the way back together, Ayitengna deliberately abandoned the car and rode a horse, and walked with Wang Yong. She pretended to be casual and asked, "Wang Bing and Ma Envoy, how is Wang Sili, the envoy of the Longyou Army, so similar to you?" Could it be that you are long-lost relatives? ”
