Cao Zhen also shouted: "That's it, Wang Huaqiang, listen well, even if Lao Tzu endures the bird's anger of An Xinggui sending people to assassinate me these few times, don't want me to give him half of the shop." ”

Wang Huaqiang turned his head to look at Li Fan: "Is this what President Li means too?" ”

Li Fan snorted: "Since my two brothers have this attitude, then my family naturally will not have any objections, Wang Xingshou, you really want to find An Xinggui, then this matter is completely up to you to talk to him, the three of us can't come up with any substantive benefits, at most we can only allow him to go back to Guzang to do business, as for the shops, merchants, etc., he can only trade with him from your Wang Xingshou's name." ”

Wang Huaqiang sneered in his heart, the thoughts of these three wealth fans had long been expected by him, and a confident smile flashed on his face: "President Li, what you mean is that as long as it does not affect the interests of the three of you, but I come forward to contact An Xinggui, you can agree that An Xinggui will return to Guzang and become a member of the Chamber of Commerce again, right?" ”

Li Fan gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes, but let me remind you that An Xinggui must do two things, the first is to give up the assassination of us and other hostile acts. Second, his inheritance in the Western Regions must be given to us, and if we can't do it, then nothing needs to be discussed. ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't answer immediately, he walked back to his seat, sat down steadily, pondered for a while, and raised his head again: "The former should be fine, as for the latter, I am not An Xinggui, I can't answer now, only after seeing him in person, I will know whether it is feasible after discussing with him." President Lee, should we talk about how to arrange the meeting? ”

Two and a half months later. The mouth of the Star Gorge at the northern end of the 7,000-mile desert beyond Yangguan. Wang Huaqiang, dressed as a Turkic merchant, stood on the top of the canyon. Looking at the endless yellow sand desert in the distance, my heart fluctuates and I have a lot of thoughts.

He thought of the thrilling battle here five years ago, the swords and swords, the bloody sand, the raid in the sand, the dying screams of the swordsman, and listened to the bows and arrows whizzing overhead. There is also the death journey of lying on horseback and rushing to the northern grassland, which is only three or four hundred paces away, but in retrospect it seems like a thousand mountains and rivers.

On that day, Wang Huaqiang felt dead countless times, his soul had floated out of his body and began to wander in the air, and he had experienced countless vicious battles in the twenty-six years of his life in this era, but none of them could compare with the thrilling level of this time.

Mai Tiezhu kicked the stones on the ground boredly, and said impatiently to Wang Huaqiang, who was already out of his mind: "Okay, we have been waiting here for three days. Looks like the guy surnamed Ann won't come, I really don't understand what you're waiting for here? ”

Wang Huaqiang glanced up and looked dressed as a Turk. The wheat iron rod in the fur hat beast robe smiled: "Iron rod, what's the hurry, tonight is the time we agreed, do you want to know that the seven thousand miles of desert yellow sand is long, and there are often some sandstorms and the like, how can it be so punctual." Even the caravan messengers who came to report the letter last time were two days late, not to mention that An Xinggui was coming, so he must be well prepared. ”

Mai Tiezhu glanced at the black hole next to a big stone behind the two of them, and sighed: "You said that this An Xinggui, last time I hollowed out this mountain for you to hack you, and connected the sand sea in front of you, and made an underground cave within a radius of several miles, as for this?" ”

Wang Huaqiang shook his head: "He won't bother so much for me alone, we have all explored this underground base, there are many warehouses, even after such a long time, it is still fragrant with wine, this place was obviously used to store goods before, especially wine, and last time it was just borrowed to ambush us by the way." ”

Wang Huaqiang walked to the bottomless dark cave entrance, stared at it tightly, and sighed: "Last time, I heard that An Xinggui bought off the giant bandits here for a gust of wind and attacked us, presumably this place is also the lair of a gust of wind, and the money and stored goods are all stored here." ”

Mai Tiezhu blinked: "What is that gust of wind that only obeys An Xinggui's orders, but the other three people don't know anything about it?" ”

A cold expression flashed in Wang Huaqiang's eyes: "Don't know anything? If they really don't know anything about An Xinggui's plans, then they are called ghosts. These three guys, all of them are better than monkeys, even the most rude-looking Cao Zhen also firmly grasps the defense of this Yangguan and Yumen Pass in his hands, what happens in this desert, will he not know what to do? He had a stand-in to test the last thatched house, do you really think he is a big boss? ”

Mai Tiezhu's eyes widened: "Hua Qiang, do you mean that those three local tyrants all secretly colluded with An Xinggui to harm you together?" ”

Wang Huaqiang twisted the beard on his chin and shook his head: "It's hard to say, but in my opinion, it is impossible for them to know nothing about An Xinggui's plan, it is more likely that they will wait and see An Xinggui and I pinch the result first, after An Xinggui hacked me back then, he went back to Guzang first, and the three slippery heads did not have any substantive reaction to his treachery, but closed my shop."

It wasn't until a year and a half later that I returned to Daxing, and General Han became the governor of Liangzhou, and I took advantage of the momentum of Gao Servant and General Han to start settling accounts with An Xinggui, at that time I knew that I couldn't offend the entire Guzang's local tyrant group, so I only found An Xinggui, but the three guys really changed the direction of the wind, and An Xinggui also fled in a hurry with almost no resistance, so he gave away these industries of Guzang to others, which is not normal at all. ”

Mai Tiezhu nodded vigorously: "This time, my old Mai understands, it must be that these guys have already colluded with each other and acted for you." These three guys are here pretending to be reconciled with you, while An Xinggui went to the Western Regions to continue to make trouble with you, right? ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled slightly, looked at the red sun that had begun to set below the horizon in the distance, and said, "About eight or nine is not far from ten." So when I was talking to them in Guzang, I had to knock on the side of these three local tyrants, An Xinggui monopolized the Western Regions, that is, he was out of their control, and in the future, the power may exceed the union of the three of them, and after all, he monopolized the upper reaches of the Silk Road, if he really got into trouble with them, once the Silk Road was broken in the future, these three families would have to drink the northwest wind, you didn't see that when I mentioned this at that time, even the sweat on Liang Shuo's head came out. ”

Mai Tiezhu sighed: "Doing business is really an open gun and a hidden arrow, and people's hearts are too dark. Xingman, do you say that since An Xinggui can make a fortune in the Western Regions, can he return to Guzang so willingly? ”

Wang Huaqiang nodded: "It will be, what he took over in the Western Regions is only the property of the An Sui family and Ayu back then, it is simply rootless water, Datou Khan can take all the things of the An Sui family in one sentence, and naturally he can also take away his An Xinggui."

Also, An Xinggui's property left in Guzang City belongs to me, even if those three guys have a private agreement with him, promising to find a way to return this property to him in the future, but it is understandable to make this decision when avoiding trouble for a while, after a long time, I will worry that I will really be excluded, and I can't go back, after all, I, Wang Huaqiang, am not the governor of Liangzhou, and I will leave when my term of office expires for two or three years, and I am also a businessman, and I want to drive a 10,000-year pile here. ”

Mai Tiezhu nodded thoughtfully, and then shook his head: "Xingman, aren't you afraid that An Xinggui will play a black one again?" He wanted your life last time, and this time he can do the same, and if he kills you, these inheritances of yours can still belong to him, so why not? ”

Wang Huaqiang didn't answer, he saw a piece of dust rolled up more than 20 miles away, and it looked like there were more than a thousand horsemen in the dust, whistling, sweeping in, in this golden desert, like a yellow dragon from far and near. Wang Huaqiang stood up, stretched his waist and legs, patted the dust on his body, and said with a smile: "When An Xinggui sees me Wang Huaqiang in a while, he will know whether he should kill me or not."
