In the back garden of the Shanshan Palace, two old men sit in a gazebo and drink. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoDrinking wine on a cold day is to find guilt, but even the king's palace can't find the second pot.

Mo Cong took a sip of wine, shivered from the cold, stretched out his hand to stop the maid's intention to put the fur fur on him, and after enduring it for a long time, he let out a long breath: "Comfortable!" The kid stopped there and didn't leave, the old man was really a little curious, what did that kid think? ”

"Old man, look, he's scared!"

Mo Cong shook his head: "No, seeing that this kid has always liked to take risks, he is a bold person, such a person has never been afraid." ”

Shao Weng smiled, noncommittal to Mo Cong's explanation. Mo Cong waved his hand and drove all the people around him out, leaving him and Shao Weng in the pavilion. The so-called gazebo is a pavilion with wind on all sides, even if there are several braziers prepared in the gazebo, the cold wind still pours in. There's a reason why the two old guys decided to talk here. Because it is a gazebo, it can be seen clearly in all directions, and after sending the servants down, no one wants to eavesdrop.

Mo Yu came down from the beam of the house, since he came back, he no longer likes to live alone, even if he sleeps at night, he has to let the most trusted guard stand guard at the door, and at the same time put his own sword at the head of the bed, but whenever there is a little wind and grass outside, Mo Yu will wake up immediately. Refilling Mo Cong and Shao Weng's cups, Mo Yu sat down on the railing of the pavilion.

Shao Weng glanced at Mo Yu and said to Mo Cong: "That Su Ren really has some skills, the people we planted under the account of King Hutu have almost lost seventy-seven eighty-eight, and those who remain dare not make any moves, and the plan to attack Su Ren with the Huns seems to be in vain, if he doesn't come to Qianmud City, we really don't have a chance to start in Bailong Beach." ”

Mo Cong nodded: "This is also what the old man is most worried about, Su Ren has been paying attention to this old man, when he was still in Shu County, the old man had already sent someone to observe, at that time I felt that this kid had more vision than others, and when he came to Chang'an, after contact, it made the old man even more jealous, with vision, courage, wisdom, and the most incomprehensible thing for the old man, this kid is very accurate in doing things, and he has never missed it, which the old man can't reach." ”

Shao Weng smiled: "Before the Heavenly Master of this sect ascended to the fairyland, he left a sentence, saying that the wind and rain have been fluctuating for fifty years, and the successors are one step at a time, at that time, the old man did not understand the key, and today it seems that this sentence should be on this Su Ren, if it were not for his opinion of the sect, the old man would have planned to accept him as an apprentice." ”

"Oh? Since Brother Shao has such a plan, why didn't he make a move earlier, now that people are light on horses and high-ranking officials, I am afraid that they will not practice with you anymore. ”

Shao Weng shook his head and said: "That's not necessarily, we are not saints, many things are not happening, no one can see the result, the old man wants to try again." ”

Mo Cong smiled: "I want to hear about it!" ”

Su Ren, who lived in Tucheng, sneezed, and he didn't have to guess to know that someone wanted to calculate himself. Smile slightly and wipe the snot hanging from your nose. The city is not big, and there are not many merchants. Lao Wang did not even sell half of the goods they brought, and the market was already saturated. If you want to get rid of all the things in their hands, the best place is a thousand mud cities.

With the recommendation of the lord of Tucheng City, starting from Tucheng, the three Tucheng and one fortress along the way are also very face-saving, and there is not too much embarrassment for Lao Wang's caravan. As long as Lao Wang's filial piety satisfies everyone, it can be regarded as a green light all the way, which is much smoother than the previous waves of businessmen. When Thousand Mud City appeared in front of Su Ren, Su Ren was very disappointed. Whether it is Chang'an or Chengdu, it is a thousand times more prosperous than this thousand mud city. Tucheng, which is less than five miles in radius, dares to be called the national capital, and Shanshan people really look up to themselves.

Not only is the city wall dilapidated, but the soldiers guarding the city can also be described as dilapidated. In the winter, he was still wearing single clothes, and the leather armor that had been swollen was not worn on the body for defense, but more for warmth. The city gate cave was originally a vent, the west wind blew from the west, whistling through the city gate hole to take away all the temperature inside, the soldiers had to hold their weapons, like shrimp in the corner of the wall.

The team led by the leather armor with an extra sheepskin shoulder. The hair on the shoulders has been polished, and the two sides look very similar, except that the inside is cleaner than the face. Lao Wang's money bag was packed in the shoulders of the woolless sheepskin, and the team leader called a soldier with a red face to show Lao Wang the way, repeatedly telling him to find a good place for the Han people to do business.

The market is located in the north of the city, next to the king's residence. Commercial tax is the most important economic pillar of Shanshan country, and the annual taxes and fees paid occupy the general of the entire Shanshan country, which is also the reason why the king of Shanshan set the capital here. The market of the people of the Western Regions is the same as the market in Chang'an, which can only be described by a garbled word, whether it is a shop or a stall, you can set up wherever you want, and there is no need to estimate the traffic at all. Su Ren imagined that a fire would be enough to burn the entire market clean.

The most prosperous business is livestock and furs, cattle, sheep, horses can be found everywhere, fine cowhides, horse skins, even bear skins, wolf skins, as long as you know the fur, you can find it all here. Su Ren took Huang Shisan and the wild cow around the market, and was immediately driven back by the sudden stench.

The merchants who came in the previous waves were waiting for Su Ren to appear in Qiannicheng, and of course they had to go together, not to mention that they had traveled thousands of miles, and they were not sure to bring back several carts of gold, silver, copper, coins and jewelry, so they were still looking at Su Ren's face now, even if they could already do it alone, at least on the surface.

Mo Yu came very coincidentally, and when he walked into Su Ren's camp, he happened to meet Laifu wandering around the camp. couldn't hide, Mo Yu could only stubbornly go up: "Brother Come, everything is okay?" ”

Laifu glanced at Mo Yu, nodded expressionlessly, and then went to go about his own business. This made Mo Yu sigh for a while, even if you meet a stranger and someone greets you, you have to say at least a word. However, Laifu only nodded slightly, and there was no expression on his face, which showed how disdainful Laifu was for him.

No one greeted the ink rain, but fortunately, this was a market, not Su Ren's real camp. If he was outside the city, Mo Yu would definitely not see Su Ren. Su Ren is still dressed in the same clothes, clean clothes, covered with a white bearskin cloak, no hat or crown, and a strap to tie up all his hair.

Su Ren was talking to a few businessmen, all of them were meaningless nonsense, which made the group of businessmen laugh. When drinking tea, when he saw Mo Yu coming, Su Ren greeted Mo Yu very enthusiastically: "Oops! The Moyu brothers are here, come on, come on! Lao Huang, pour a glass for the Moyu brothers. ”

Huang Shisan snorted coldly, found a tea bowl, added water without looking at it, and threw it heavily in front of Mo Yu. Su Ren got up and glanced at the businessmen, and Lao Wang immediately stood up: "Since Mr. is a guest, I will leave later!" ”

Su Ren nodded with a smile. For Mo Yu, there are a few people among the businessmen who have seen it, and Mo Yu must have lived in Su Ren's house in Chang'an for a while, since he is Su Ren's person, he naturally wants to say hello. Listening to the warm greetings of those businessmen, Mo Yu's heart became even more uncomfortable. That's not a greeting, it's sarcasm, a naked sarcasm.

When everyone left, Su Ren put on a meaningful smile: "Brother Mo, did you come with your giant's order this time?" ”

Mo Yu bowed first: "Thank you, Mr. for not killing." ”

Su Ren waved his hand: "What's the benefit of killing you?" What's more, you helped me when I was in Mayi, and this time I will return the favor that you said to the Bank of China for me, say, what are you giants looking for me? ”

Su Ren's words were a little cold, Mo Yu felt it, and took a deep breath: "The giant hopes to meet with Mr., and tomorrow he will hold a banquet in Fushouju in the east of the city, and invite Mr. to enjoy the light." ”

"A treat? Don't have to do it any other way? Isn't that what Shao Weng will also go? ”

Mo Yu knew what Su Ren was talking about, the last time on the Yellow River, Mo Cong and Shao Weng had held Su Ren hostage. If he were an ordinary person, he would never go again this time, but Mo Yu was sure that Su Ren would definitely go, because Su Ren was not an ordinary person.

"That's it!" Sure enough, Su Ren agreed: "I will definitely arrive tomorrow, I want to hear what your giant and that Shao Weng say, I heard that Fushouju's hand-grasped mutton is a must, since you have come to Qianni City, how can you not taste it?" ”

Mo Yu saluted again: "Since this is the case, the villain will leave, and tomorrow at noon, the villain will be waiting in Fushouju." ”

Su Ren nodded, and Mo Yu retreated. Han Qing and Gou Tianming turned out from behind the screen, and before they opened their mouths when they met, Su Ren grabbed the conversation: "I have already agreed, it is inappropriate not to go, rest assured that since it is them who invite each other, there will be no problem." ”

"But ......, in case ......"

Su Ren smiled: "This is the best opportunity, tomorrow we will take advantage of the two old guys to leave the palace, isn't it just right to send someone to the palace, we are not blindly doing business in the Western Regions this time, I am afraid that this is the only time in this life, so the opportunity that can be used must not be missed." ”

Gou Tianming was still about to speak, but Han Qing nodded slightly: "Okay, having said that, you still have to be careful tomorrow and let Lao Gou bring a few more people." ”

For the kindness of his subordinates, Su Ren has never refused, since he has arrived in Shanshanguo, the role of the caravan guards is much smaller, and they have all become his guards, and there is no problem in bringing more people.

Regarding Su Ren's mission to the Western Regions this time, Mo Cong and Shao Weng both speculated. They also didn't believe that Su Ren was just here to do business, and tomorrow's banquet was actually a temptation between the two parties, and after the temptation was over, only the hands remained. As for who wins and who loses, through the observation and arrangement during this time, Mo Yu vaguely feels that something is wrong, but he can't say anything about him.

sighed and said to Shao Weng: "Brother Shao, it's up to you tomorrow!" ”
