The words have been clarified, Liu Ji is not good at saying goodbye, he also wants to hear the true intentions of these people.

The Silk Road said in later generations, Xizhou is a key node, it is connected to the Hexi Corridor in the east, and the outside of the West Union is the land of great food, inheriting the Mobei grassland on the top, and adjacent to Anxi, Bolu and Tianzhu below.

You know, in the Zhenguan period, there was a big country in the Western Regions, called Gaochang, the king Ju, the degree of sinicization is almost not much different from the four countries of Anxi, and even deeper, but the first war was destroyed in the hands of Hou Junji, and the Ju clan was forcibly moved into the Guannei, and an ancient country that had been followed for thousands of years died out.

In fact, for a long time, Xizhou was the seat of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, and it was only moved to Qiuzi Town more than 50 years ago, and at the same time, the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate was set up with Yi, Xi, and Ting as the center, and the functions of the two towns were re-planned.

Therefore, in this case, the garrisons in various parts of Beiting have become the focus of merchants in various places, and in the absence of war, relying on the filial piety of these merchants, the oil and water extracted when passing through the customs will live a more comfortable life than elsewhere, and important positions such as Wang Weiliang will naturally be the focus of contention among many parties.

No one was willing to offend him for no reason, especially in the coming tide of trade.

For a long time, the most traveled on this trade route were the Sogdians, the so-called "Zhaowu Nine Surnames", don't look at most of them have a surname similar to the Han people, but they are out-and-out alien people, these Sogdians, as if they were born with a talent for business, they have a keen sense of smell, dare to think and dare to do, long before the founding of the Tang Dynasty, they have become the most important merchants on this road, even in the most turbulent days in the Western Regions, they can't stop an adventurous heart.

Of course, the Han people of this era have not been bound by those rules and regulations, and there is no lack of adventurous spirit, they left Guanzhong Longyou and other rich places, went to the border to serve in the army and finally settled down, and they had a heart to fight for their lives, Wang Weiliang is like this, Bai Xiaojie believes that this is out of line, bold Liu Wulang, too.

"Goro, this is the reason why I just asked you whether to return to Anxi or stay in Beiting after this war."

Bai Xiaojie said calmly: "You were born in Anxi, we only wait for you to be from Anxi, after the war, you and your people will belong to the Beiting establishment, but you have hated them before, no matter where you hold at that time, you will not have a good life, unless you ......"

Speaking of this, he picked up the cup that had been empty for a long time, turned it in his hand, and a light flashed in Liu Ji's eyes, and he saw clearly that the utensils used on his table were all made of gold.

"Unless, the North Courtyard is in your own hands."

This sentence was said by Liu Ji for them, Bai Xiaojie smiled, and secretly praised it in his heart, this son is more acute than he imagined.

Prior to this, Wang Zhengjian was born in Taiyuan Wang, is one of the so-called five surnames and seven doors, the top family of the Tang Dynasty, the five surnames have intermarriage with each other, there are inextricable relationships, he served in Beiting for more than ten years, this trade route has been in the hands of those family masters, including the later two towns, are the result of the family's backing, in order to monopolize the entire Western Regions trade routes.

In this way, it is bound to clash with the local forces, outside the pass, whether it is the five surnames or the seven gates, they are not as famous as the Bai family, the Pei family, the Long family, and the Wei Chi family, because they are the high-ranking families in the Western Regions!

This is very natural, although the heart of these four countries is true to Datang, but it does not mean that they will give up their interests, on this golden road flowing with gold and silver, who doesn't want to come to get a piece of the pie?

Wang Zhengjian was in charge of the period, this kind of thinking can only be suppressed, now it is different, whether it is Beiting or Anxi have changed masters, in the future, whoever can become the master of this land of thousands of miles, who can master the world's most dynamic business route, become the overlord of the East and the West.

Liu Ji understood that these people's appetites were so great that they were no longer satisfied with the interests of Anxi to Tubo, Bolu, and Tianzhu, and wanted to get involved in the affairs of Beiting, but it was impossible for them to come forward directly.

In the minds of these people, although he is Feng Changqing's quasi-son-in-law and has an extraordinary reputation, in the final analysis, he is still soft-spoken, even if a small warlord is promoted several levels in a row, what can he do? In the face of the active overtures of the kings of the four countries, I am afraid that I will be provoked early in the morning, and maybe I will be grateful.

If he is not familiar with the trend of history, and knows that Cheng Qianli's tenure in Beiting is less than a year, he may be willing to enter the hub, and the result is already like that, what does it make if he is not a stone.

But now, the pebble will also grate.

Thinking of this, he smiled with the other party and picked up the cup, but he did not collide with Bai Xiaojie, but stopped in front of him.

"I want the Han Navy."

"I can see that Gorou has agreed?"

Liu Ji smiled and nodded, lifted the cup forward, and touched it with Bai Xiaojie, as for whether there was wine in it, no one cared.

Things must be done, Liu Ji didn't want to stay anymore, pulled Feng Hao and left Baifu, the latter's face was printed with several bright red lip prints, which made him angry and funny, Feng Changqing was so bullish, how could he give birth to such an unbearable son.

Bai Xiaojie, Pei Guoliang, and Long Ruling personally sent people out of the house, and as soon as their backs disappeared, the fat man Pei Guoliang was impatient to inquire.

"What did he say?"

Bai Xiaojie didn't even look at him, his eyes were always on the distant figure, and he said with some answers: "Order someone to tell Lao Sheng quickly, everyone else can let him go, but Wang Weiliang must kill him." ”

Both of them were taken aback, and the young Yanqi King Heilong Rulin reacted extremely quickly, and suddenly thought of the key point.

"He wants Wang Weiliang's seat?"

"He wants to see how much energy we have."

Bai Xiaojie snorted coldly, turned around and walked to the house, just in time to meet Bai Xiaoyi rushing over, the latter pulled aside and said hurriedly.

"The seventh child is gone, and he didn't even bring his family."

"Let's go, what's the matter, it's okay to leave early, save yourself from making trouble in this city, even if he knows something, you order someone to send some money to his house, and say that Lao Qi will leave it for them."

"I'll arrange it."

Bai Xiaoyi was just about to leave, but he grabbed him.

"There is one more thing that must be done immediately, the woman named 'Du Miaoru', along with the deed, and prepare a generous gift, send it to the Wulang Mansion, and you will send it personally."

Bai Xiaoyi was stunned, in the mind of his brother, this Wulang was even more important than his own family.
