"Tang Fei, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, is the uncle of my uncle's nephew's daughter-in-law, and also my fellow villager. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Huang Qi said.

Li Su smiled when he heard it, and he didn't know what kind of kinship this was. However, Huang Qi is sleek and old-fashioned, and he is stable and reliable, so he decided to leave this matter to Huang Qi.

Foreign envoys, after paying New Year's greetings to Tang Taizong on the first day of the Lunar New Year, will leave the capital Chang'an on the second day of the Lunar New Year and return to their own country. This is also the reason why Li Su is in a hurry to Taobao glass balls, and does not hesitate to express it.

Li Su took out 10 glass beads and gave them to Huang Qi, telling him that these beads could only be sold to foreign envoys, and the price was set by him.

Huang Qi picked up a bead and said, "The minister is going to run an errand, so let's take this jewel first, find a buyer, and then come to you to pick it up." "He didn't dare to take out so many orbs, it would be too dangerous.

Li Yu explained a few words, although Huang Qi didn't know why the prince was so mysterious, but he said to do it.

Li Su was afraid that if the foreign envoys left, his business would not be completed. In fact, he was worried in vain, none of the foreign envoys planned to leave Chang'an City immediately.

There is only one reason: the wolf king appears.

In the Tang Honglu Temple.

Xue Yantuo tribe Khan Yinan, this morning, heard the news that the wolf king had been regained and lost, and General Tieli was killed, he was extremely depressed, he hated Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and vowed to return to the grassland, and must send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty and give Li Shimin a good look.

However, now he doesn't dare to leave Chang'an City, it's not because he wants to make peace with Princess An Ning, for Yi Nan Khan, a woman is nothing.

The appearance of the wolf king has put a lot of pressure on him, especially since the wolf king is now in the hands of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and he will definitely use this thing to make a big fuss.

As long as Li Shimin handed over this thing to other powerful tribes on the grassland, such as Tuli and others, they would definitely use the appeal of the wolf totem to influence the vast number of small and medium-sized tribes on the grassland, and fight against the Tayi male Khan. The unification of the steppe tribes that Yinan Khan had fought for with great difficulty may also fall apart because of this.

"The Wolf King must be in the hands of the Xue Yantuo clan!" Yi Nan Khan made up his mind to fight for it with all his might.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the envoys of various countries went to pay New Year's greetings to Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and the Yinan Khan naturally also went. When he met with Tang Taizong Li Shimin, he paid special attention to Li Shimin's demeanor.

He noticed that when Li Shimin made eye contact with him, he had a strange smile on his face and his gaze was unfathomable. It seems that some are confident and some are sarcastic. Anyway, Yi Nan Khan felt very bad.

When he returned to the Honglu Temple, he discussed with the Wolf King how to take the Wolf King into his own hands.

Po Tien said: "Khan, your consideration is right, the minister has already instructed, let us have a relationship in the Tang Dynasty, and inquire about the whereabouts of the wolf king." ”

In the afternoon, she returned to her room and waited for news.

In the evening, an attendant came in and said, "Lord Governor, I have heard a news, saying that a merchant has come to Lord Tang, the Shaoqing of the Tang Honglu Temple, and the envoy of Annan has obtained a jewel from him, do you want to go and see it?" ”

There are strange things every year, and there are a lot of them this year! It was very strange in his heart, so he personally came to the official office of Honglu Temple and asked to see Lord Tang, the young secretary of Honglu Temple.

In the guest room of Lord Tang Fei, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, he saw a strange-looking person with strange clothes and a strange costume, such a person, who he had seen, was a merchant of the Western Roman Empire.

This merchant of the Roman Empire took out a jewel of the West Sea.

In addition to being shocked, he immediately discovered that the material of this West Sea Orb was the same as that of the Wolf King. He determined the value of the orb and immediately decided to buy one.

The merchants of the Roman Empire offered a price of 500 taels of gold, but they bought it immediately without a counteroffer.

After buying the West Sea Orb, he immediately went to the room of the Yi Nan Khan.

Yi Nan Khan held this never-before-seen orb and played with it repeatedly. He said, "The material for carving the Wolf King. Is it really the same material as this orb? ”

Sticker and one of the retinues who had seen the Wolf King said it was the same.

He had seen the wolf king, but unfortunately he was snatched away, and he described it to the Yi Nan Khan for a long time, and he could only say how the wolf king was noble, but after all, he couldn't say clearly. When he saw the jewel of the West Sea, he bought it to prove that he was right.

Yi Nan Khan nodded and said, "This kind of orb is indeed rare. A jewel is worth 500 taels of gold, and the value of the wolf king is needless to say. ”

Speaking of this, he suddenly remembered something. He said, "Since the Roman merchants have this material in their hands, can you get it from them and carve a wolf king?" "His mind is spinning fast.

She shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not." The Roman courtiers themselves had been there, and there should have been no such treasures there. The minister heard that there were a total of 10 of these orbs. The minister suspected that these orbs appeared with the wolf king, and as for how they fell into the hands of the Romans, the minister did not know. ”

Yi Nan Khan nodded and said, "What you said makes sense. However, don't let any clues go. Send someone to keep an eye on the Roman to see if there are any valuable clues. ”

"Drink (yes), Great Khan." After agreeing, he withdrew.

Li Su's sale of the orb was a bit reckless. Whether it is Li Su or Li Erbao's soul, after all, they are rookies who don't have much political experience, Li Su only thought that the foreign envoys were about to leave Chang'an, so he thought about making a fortune, and as a result, he almost made Yinan Khan aware of the secret.

Fortunately, he was knowledgeable and well-informed, and knew that the Romans did not have such a material as glass, so he found a reasonable explanation for the origin of the jewel in the West Sea based on his own experience. Unexpectedly, it strengthened Xue Yantuo's trust in the value of the wolf king.

Otherwise, Li Su's plan almost came to naught.

As the saying goes, no book is written without coincidence, Huang Qi, the record of the Liang Palace, joined the army, and he is a very shrewd official, and he does things without leakage. The Roman merchant he found had just left the Honglu Temple when he was secretly picked up by him, and he has not been heard from since.

Palace.

On the afternoon of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Ma Xuanliang, the captain of Tang Taizong's guard, with a team of guards, hid in the room of an ordinary eunuch, each holding a sharp blade, protecting a storage room.

They waited for a long time, and two men came in, and the guards immediately knelt down and saluted. The person who came was Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, and Sun Wuji, the chief secretary of the Ministry of Officials!

The guards did not shout "See the emperor" as usual, but saluted silently. It seems to be hiding something.

Ma Xuanliang pushed open the door of the storage room, and a foul smell came out.
