Chapter 6 All the way north into the West Building, the fine road meets Du Qianshu

(Third Update.) Well, it's three more, I'm working hard. )

After being slapped unconscious by Ding Hei last night, she was thrown in Li Congjing's tent, and when she woke up, the gentleman had already attacked the Khitan military camp. She touched her little head with a little headache, first checked her body up and down in horror, and breathed a long sigh of relief when she found that there was no problem, and then noticed that Li Congjing was not in the tent, so she lifted the tent and walked out of the tent, and then saw a scene that she would never forget.

The Tang army slaughtered the Khitan, like slaughtering pigs and dogs.

In a world where she was not too mature, she discovered for the first time that the extremely vicious Khitans, those who always looked high, raised their swords and bows to her countrymen, and played the role of murderers, when they were chased and killed, they were also running for their lives like chickens and dogs.

She stood outside the tent and looked at the gentleman who was like a god descending from the earth, and it was the first time she knew that Datang also had such an army, which could easily crush her enemies. The mountain breeze was blowing at night, her clothes were thin and shabby, and her hair was a little messy, but at that moment, she forgot all this, only the heroic gentlemen and soldiers in front of her.

She stood there, facing a hellish battlefield and laughing heartily.

In all fairness, Xi'er is not a stupid woman, but because her world is very small, not much bigger than the small wooden shed shop next to the stream, so her vision is not very broad, so she was not able to see the extraordinary identity of Li Congjing the day before yesterday like her grandfather Liu Han. Even last night, she didn't associate those brave Tang Jun with the guy named Li Jing.

But after half a day of coming back to her senses, her sensitive mind finally tasted it, and the young Langjun who was kind to her and always had a gentle smile on his face in front of her, I am afraid it was very, very not simple. Otherwise, how dare he make a move on Zhao Wu? He dared to speak so hard to Zhao Wu. Even the Khitans treated him with courtesy when they met him. Especially yesterday, he let himself go to his tent, saying that it was safe there, did he already know something?

But how unsimple is this Li Jing? I can't think of it.

So she looked at that Lang Jun carefully, her eyes didn't blink, as if she could see through his identity.

Thinking about it carefully, the two young gentlemen beside him don't look like ordinary people, their speech and demeanor are different from those in the village, and they always look gentle and elegant. I heard that only a scholar who has read a lot of books will have such a appearance.

Thinking of this, she sighed because she thought of the person she was looking for in the grassland.

Li Congjing found that Xi'er had been staring at herself, her eyes were very clear and innocent, as if there were always a thousand words hidden in them, and the water spirit was lovable. He smiled, walked over and sat down beside Xi'er, and asked her, "After driving for so long, can you still afford to eat?" ”

Xian'er nodded, and added: "I'm sitting in the car, it's the horse walking, I haven't moved." ”

Li Congjing was amused by the other party's simple answer, and touched her head, "Don't worry, when you get to the West Building, I will send someone to find someone with you." If you can find him, you will take him with us and go back; If you can't find it, I'll send you back to your grandfather. ”

Xi'er nodded, revealing a clean smile, "Thank you Gongzi Li." ”

She felt in her heart that Li Gongzi was not only a powerful person, but also a very good person.

Yelu Deguang came over and asked Li Congjing: "Is there any loss of goods?" As he spoke, he glanced at it carefully, and saw that it was a woman who seemed to him to be ordinary, so he didn't look at it much. It was precisely because of this that he had not yet discovered the hatred in Xi'er's eyes.

After learning that the caravan had no losses, Yerod's face was a little better. The rest time was not short, and they immediately hurried away. It's just that the Khitan army is more high-spirited than when they first met Li Congjing, and they are a little depressed at this time. For the Khitan men, going out on an expedition is to twist their heads to do business, and if they win, they can bring back a lot of booty to their wives and children to subsidize their families and improve their lives, if they are defeated or die, their wives and children will be in a miserable situation in the future, and they will become vassals of others. The law of the jungle is even more pronounced in the grasslands.

A few days later, Li Congjing and others arrived in the West Building.

The West Tower is not a tent assembly place, but a city built of bricks and earth, which is not much different from the Central Plains city. As the kingdom of Khitan, although Xilou City has an important status and a majestic city, its history is not long, and it has existed for less than 20 years.

When Li Congjing entered the city with the caravan, he looked around, and in his eyes, this Khitan capital, which was later called Shangjing, had reached a fairly high level from both a military and a civil point of view, no less than some big cities in the Central Plains.

Because of the lack of materials on the grassland, Abaoji attaches great importance to business. At this time, the merchants who came in and out of Xilou City were of different colors, some came from the Bohai Kingdom in the east, some came from other tribes such as the Uighurs and Xi in the west, and even came from the Western Regions. However, the grassland people are different from the Central Plains people in terms of clothing and decoration, and they are more rough and peculiar.

The prosperity of Xilou City did not amaze Li Congjing, but made him feel more jealous of the Khitan from the heart, and it was not unreasonable for the Khitan to become a powerful country in the north and eventually become a powerful country. And Li Congjing, as the commander of the border army, if he wants to really crack the national power accumulated by the Khitan for many years, it is not a simple and quick thing.

Back in the West Building, Yelu Deguang was obviously a lot more relaxed, and his expression was excited, but when he arrived here, he and Li Congjing had to be temporarily separated, so everyone agreed to be busy with their own affairs first, and then talk about other things.

After separating from Yelu Deguang, Li Congjing led the caravan to the city's East Market, which was a commercial concentration area, but most of the large transactions took place there. On the way, someone came up to meet Li Congjing's caravan and made a code, which was a person sent by the Military Intelligence Department to establish a foothold here. After all, it has been a few months since the destruction of the Liang, and the military intelligence department has also carried out the infiltration work of the grassland for a short time, and has achieved some results.

Moreover, Li Congjing's caravan could not come and peddled goods on the street, which was equivalent to saying that he was a newcomer, and it was too easy to show his stuff.

The person who came was a middle-aged man with a big belly, with a reed fat appearance, a kind face, wearing a gown, and he almost didn't write a few words on his face, his name was Ma Runian.

"I've been waiting for the owner for a long time, the owner just arrived today, most of the goods can be put in the store first, you can rest for a while. The little guys in the West Building have already said hello, and if you want to summon or ask about something, you can rush over immediately. Ma Runian walked behind Li Congjing with a smile, arched his hand and said, he almost nodded his head, it seems that he is very deep in playing the role of a businessman. It can't be said that he is playing, his current identity is a businessman.

Li Congjing naturally didn't need to rest immediately, "You can dispose of this batch of goods as you want, but just leave the things in the car in the middle for me, and I will use it for other purposes." "There are treasures he brought, which are worth a lot of money, and the purpose is to bribe Khitan officials, "Since I am here as a businessman, what should I do in the past few days, you arrange an agenda, and you must make sure that every drop of water does not leak." ”

Ma Runian had a well-talkative expression, and said seriously: "As a big businessman, since the owner has arrived in the West Building, the first thing is to rest, and when it is night, he should go to the famous Qinhuai Pavilion here, and order a few popular girls or Oiran to serve, preferably the charming women from the Western Regions, because of their exotic customs, they have always been the most popular among the merchants of the Central Plains." After a day of enjoyment, we will do business tomorrow afternoon. ”

Li Congjing: "Ah......hh

Mo Li and Zhang Ziyun didn't expect this Ma Runian to be so sincere, and he would talk about the Crazy Kiln so specifically, and they couldn't help laughing. Mo Li said with a smile: "Qinhuai Pavilion, it's a good name, it seems that the Khitan dignitaries here are not small-minded!" The shopkeeper is so familiar with the doorway, it seems that he is a person in this way! ”

Ma Runian didn't blush at all, and said modestly: "I understand a little, I understand a little." ”

Everyone walked through the bustling street and arrived at the trading company set up by the Military Intelligence Department, and it was obviously not the truth to say that they were not tired at all after a few days, and since they wanted to play the play more fully, Li Congjing also took the opportunity to be lazy and rested in the guest room of the trading company for a long time.

But rest was relative to him, and during this time, he summoned members of the Military Intelligence Service from various parts of the West Building and learned about various aspects of the West Building.

Since Li Congjing promised to help Xi'er find someone, he asked Ma Runian to invite a painter to come over, draw a portrait according to her dictation, copy several copies, and give one copy to the members of the military intelligence department who came to see him, let them see if they have seen it, and then help find it. For this, she is naturally grateful, she was arranged by Li Congjing to live in a trading company, and she didn't need to go to the streets to find people in person, just sit back and enjoy it.

There are a lot of people in the trading company, and the core members are all sharp soldiers of the military intelligence department, but doing such a thing as business, it is impossible to require the guys and partners to be their own people, and there are many real businessmen.

In the afternoon, Li Congjing didn't want to waste time in the room, so he took Mo Li, Ding Hei and others to go out and walk around, so as to understand the customs here. Ma Runian didn't insist on anything, and when he was about to go out, he ran downstairs and said that he wanted to go out with Li Congjing and them. Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Li Congjing knew that she wanted to try her luck and see if she could meet the person she was looking for on the street, and Li Congjing naturally had no reason not to agree to such a thing.

But Li Congjing didn't expect it, I don't know if it was Xi'er's luck that was ridiculously good, or if it was so bad that it was indescribable, they went out this time, and they really met the descendant that Xi'er was looking for in Dongshi.

For the fine who has never been far away, the flowery East Market in the West Building City, among which there are endless strange things, should not lack of attraction, but on her slightly lowered face, a pair of eyes are always staring at the crowd coming and going, never looking at the goods that are enough to make women in the world crazy, because she is too focused, she almost bumped into people several times.

Selling goods and selling fresh, not long after leaving, Li Congjing actually saw that there were caravans of people peddling some of the goods they brought, and it seemed to be very popular, and the front of the truck was full of people. Li Congjing and the others were walking over, wanting to see the situation, when they heard a domineering female voice from the crowd.

"Du Qianshu, what are you, what this girl wants, how can you interfere? Get out of here! ”

Hearing Du Qianshu's three words, he was stunned and couldn't move his feet anymore.
