Chapter 477: Hostage
"Your Excellency is indeed benevolent. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info "Agoura heard that Li Xiang was not even corrupt about the three hundred horses, and he was so happy that he jumped up, after all, these three hundred horses did not belong to Sanduozhai, but were collected by the Mongols with hard work. But the Mongols are really stupid, they want to levy horses without giving money and repaying each other, how can it be so easy? The Tibetan people live so scattered, and they are very wary of outsiders, how can they obediently let you collect horses, and if you are in a hurry, you may turn your face and draw a knife to meet each other.
"Of course." Li Xiang accepted this comment shamelessly: "However, since Shaoxi Mansion recovers Sanduozhai on behalf of the imperial court, then please agree that Shaoxi Mansion will represent the imperial court in Sanduozhai Market." ”
"Isn't the tea and horse division of the imperial court coming?" Agoura didn't do the other way around, and he couldn't figure out who Li Xiang meant by what he said.
"No, no." Li Xiang shook his head and said, "The imperial court doesn't know that the Shaoxi Mansion Army has recovered Sanduozhai?" ”
"How could you not know?" Agoura was even more strange.
"Because there are many affairs, my Shaoxi Mansion Army has not had time to put this great credit on the court? If you don't say it, I don't say it, how will the court know? Li Xiang looked at Agoura very seriously, his eyes were a little sharp.
At this time, a slender woman standing in Agoura pulled Agoura, attached herself to him and said a few words in his ear, Agora looked embarrassed, but the woman's expression was very resolute, and even the speed of speech was a little urgent.
"My lord, my lord wants to hide from the world and cross the sea, and I will exchange markets with Sanduozhai?" Agoura finally lowered his head and looked at Li Xiang in disbelief.
Li Xiang nodded very seriously and said: "The idiom you use is very good, but the owner of the village should not say this, it's just that now the court is troublesome, and I haven't had time to appoint a new tea and horse division. ”
"This ......" Agoura's eyes were wide, and he didn't expect to drive away a wolf, but a tiger came.
Li Xiang glanced at the masked woman beside him, because she was veiled, so she couldn't see it, but she was slender, her hands were like jade lotus, and the phoenix eyes exposed outside were black and white, and she was so smart that it was heartwarming, but when she saw Agoura beside the girl, Li Xiang was sorry again, and said: "The owner of the village should also understand the severity." In order not to make Sanduozhai suffer from shameless Mongol invasion again, and to ensure the smooth operation of our mutual market, our Shaoxi army is willing to leave a capital of soldiers to assist the owner of the village and work hard to ensure the peace of Sanduozhai. ”
No matter how stupid Agula is, he understands Li Xiang's intentions, Li Xiang not only wants to independently compete with Sanduozhai, but also wants to control Sanduozhai in his own hands.
"Of course, please rest assured." Li Xiang treats his friends as warm as spring: "I am here to assure the owner of the village that all the rules will be handled in accordance with the rules set by the imperial court, and I also promise that in a year, Sanduozhai will definitely be twice as good as it is now, if this goal is not achieved, I am willing to withdraw from Sanduozhai and apologize to the owner and the clansmen." ”
"My lord," Agoura's brain melon was even more inapplicable, "what the hell is going on?" Is it a robber or a good guy? ”
Li Xiang patiently explained: "Sanduozhai should not be so poor, he should be the richest place in the whole of Tibet." As long as you believe me, I will definitely work hard to realize the return of the owner to the largest tribe in Tibet. ”
"My lord," the girl beside Agoura suddenly interjected, "The concubine Ashima dares to ask the adult, how can she guarantee that what the adult says is the truth." ”
"This." Li Xiang really couldn't say it for a while, maybe he really meant to fool Agoura in his heart?
"That concubine has a request." Ashima said softly: "Please also allow Ashima to follow her side, on behalf of Sanduozhai and adults to exchange markets." ”
"Nope." Agula said loudly, Ashima is not only his daughter, but also the priest of the clan, how can he leave.
"Nope." Li Xiang said resolutely, what kind of international joke, is a beautiful man like a flower like a jade going to spoil you like this?
"Nope." The third voice said anxiously, but this person is Gemu, the son of Maimat, the head of Agula House, Gemu and Ashima's childhood sweethearts, who made a lot of efforts when Agula escaped from Sanduo Village, and even planned with Ashima to recruit people to drive out the Tartars, but Li Xiang took the first step and made a profit.
However, according to the relationship between the Tibetan tribes, it is not important to say whether they can gather people together.
Gemu's love for Ashima is known to the whole clan, but it's a pity that the king has no intention of the goddess, and he wasted a lot of Gemu's thoughts, and now he has more contact with Ashima because of the rescue, which makes Gemu's heart a little nervous.
"Gemu, don't speak." The chief steward Maimaiti shouted loudly, hitting the young man's dream hard.
"My lord," Ashima insisted, ignoring Agoura, "Do you think that I can't represent Sanduozhai?" I am not only the sacrifice of Sanduozhai, but also the daughter of the headman, my little woman is by the side of the adult, isn't the adult more at ease about the affairs of Sanduozhai? ”
When Ashima said this, Li Xiang was a little moved. However, the hostage-taking seems to be detrimental to credibility, and it is worth exploring in detail.
"Do you have any concerns?" Ashima asked softly, as gentle as a Han woman, if it weren't for his tall figure, no one would even tell that she was the daughter of the head of Tubo.
"No, no." Li Xiang was a little flustered, took a breath quietly, and said, "This matter is very involved, and we have to think about it in the long run." ”
Returning to Shaoxi Mansion again, Li Xiang brought back a young girl who didn't know her appearance as usual, oh, no, it should be said that it was a young girl who didn't know her appearance and a pale young man, the result of the negotiation was not only Ashima came to Shaoxi Mansion as a representative of Sanduozhai, but even Gemu, the son of the head manager Maimaiti, also came to Shaoxi Mansion as a flower messenger, and was known as an assistant.
"The concubine to Shaoxi Mansion can not only ensure the current safety of Sanduozhai, but also enable the Shaoxi Mansion army to get more horses from Sanduozhai through mutual markets." This was the last hole card that Ashima persuaded Li Xiang to.
Li Xiang surrendered heroically.
Everyone was stunned, and their eyes became even more surprised when they looked at Li Xiang. Li Xiang told everyone what happened in a bunch of obsessed eyes, and finally Lu Xiufu sighed with emotion: "I never knew that Wang Zongyi would be such a person, my Great Song Dynasty ruled the country with benevolence, and Zongyi was right and wrong, so I can only talk about it later." ”
Seeing Lu Xiufu say this, Li Xiang had no choice but to give up, no one else cares about being the eldest brother, and he has to pretend to be confused as a leader, and he should just invest in improving his credibility.
