When Sajar came to this nameless fortress, there were still traces of war as far as the eye could see. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Western Xia army led by Li Qianshun attacked two forts that had been defeated during the Great War, and this was one of them.

Although Li Qianshun also intended to preserve his strength, the two battles in front of the fortress were real. The snow obscured some of the traces, but in the snowdrifts, there were always some broken flags exposed, making people realize what had happened here.

Sajar's gaze occasionally glanced at the tracks, and then at the line.

A major battle had just ended, and some enemies were still on the move, so the fort was heavily guarded, and all those who entered and exited had to be checked. I don't know why, in such a cold weather, and so dangerous, there are still so many people who want to enter Yanzhou through the fortress.

About half of these people were dressed as Han Chinese, and half were of all ethnic groups, and Sajjar saw a guy who looked like a Persian, leading a camel and a horse, talking and laughing as he went.

The Persians were just before Sajar, and several soldiers stopped them for questioning, and with the soldiers, there were two interpreters, and Sajar listened after them, and found that the first question of the other party was where you came from, the second question was why you came, the third question was whether you had seen any suspicious person, the fourth question began to ask for names, and a small official took a pen to register.

To Sajar's astonishment, when the Persian merchants offered money and goods to bribe the soldiers, they were refused.

As Ssajar knew, no soldier in this world would refuse a bribe sent to his door, and this was the first time he had seen such a thing.

After the Persians, there was Sajjar.

"Where are you from?" The interpreter asked, after understanding that they knew Persian, and then asked.

Sajar was so familiar with Persia that he concocted a city that was far from the city from which the previous Persians came, but also an important commercial node.

"Why are you here?"

"I heard that there are new products here in China, and the people are extremely rich, so we ventured here just to trade." Sajar said as he took out a small bag: "This is the goods we brought. ”

Persian and food merchants came to the Central Plains by land, bringing camels and horses, and at the same time hiding precious stones, jade and other luxury goods that the Chinese people liked, which were both convenient to carry and valuable. In the small bag that Sajar took out, there was a handful of precious stones, several gold and silver ornaments, all of which he had dragged from himself.

As a Seljuk Sultan, of course, the things on his body were all good goods, the size of the gems was very large, the luster was also very translucent, and the gold and silver ornaments were also extremely exquisite, and at first glance they were the fines made by famous craftsmen.

He was originally mentally prepared to be stolen by these soldiers, but although the soldiers were very curious, the interpreter was even more straight-eyed, but no one moved.

"That's it?" The interpreter glanced at the soldiers, and this time he didn't wait for the soldiers to speak, he asked his own questions.

"Goods are good or bad, not quantity." Sajar Dao.

"Other caravans are coming, there are at least dozens of camels and horses, twenty or thirty people, and you are only seven people, eleven horses." The interpreter's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp.

Of course, there were no ready-made Persian or Dashi interpreters in the Huaxia Army, and these two interpreters were provided to Yue Fei by the seed master.

They are not very suitable for the military discipline of the Huaxia Army of "not taking anything in vain", these days they have seen people passing by the fort sentry post, but there is no chance to stretch out their hands, which has long made them covet.

Fortunately, the Huaxia army did not hesitate to reward, as long as they could help find suspicious people, especially the spies sent by various forces, then half of the property carried by the spies would become the reward for the discoverer.

This interpreter took a fancy to Sajal's gems, gold and silver, and tried every means to find out the guilt against Sajar.

Sajar didn't know that he was in danger because of the greed of a small man.

But he was also prepared for this question, so he smiled bitterly: "When we came, there were more than twenty people and more than forty camels and horses, but wasn't it a war, and we encountered the Seljuk rebels, and we finally escaped, but that's all we left." ”

"Escaped from the Seljuks?" The interpreter's eyes were sharper, and at this time the soldiers were also suspicious, and each came with his sword, and in the distance, there were soldiers pointing at this side with muskets that were not unfamiliar to Sajar.

"Yes, escaped from those damned Seljuks." Saijar's face does not change its color and is authentic.

"You're lying!" The interpreter pointed excitedly: "These horses of yours are all Seljuk military horses, I know the imprint on the horse's rump, you are lying!" ”

Sajal's face changed suddenly.

The so-called wise man has a thousand thoughts, there must be a mistake, Sajar is far from being a wise man, he has made many preparations, but this one thing, which was originally a daily habit, he ignored it.

His horses are all military horses, and military horses are branded!

Fortunately, Sajar had experienced a lot of things after all, and after his expression changed, he cried with a sad face: "Even this point has been seen, this lord, these horses are indeed the military horses of the Seljuks, and when we escaped, we took advantage of the chaos and took their military horses...... At that time, the Western Xia thieves were sneaking up on the remnants of the Seljuk army, and we had such an opportunity. ”

The interpreter did not accept his explanation, and other caravans also had a lot of wealth, but there were not many who seemed to be easy to bully like Sajar, so the interpreter held on to it.

Sajar tried his best to defend himself, but the interpreter tried to accuse him, and in the middle of the argument, the speed of clearing the customs slowed down, and the checkpoint looked a little chaotic. Yang Zaixing had just finished inspecting the fort, and when he heard a chaotic sound here, he paced over with Chong Yanchong.

Saijar's face changed slightly when he saw Yang Zaixing.

On that day, he was on a high place, and with the help of a telescope, he saw a Han man come out, and with one blow he knocked down the king of Sigistan, who was known as a great general in the Seljuk coalition army. He didn't have many other strengths, but he recognized people accurately, so he had an impression of Yang Zaixing at that time.

Now that he sees Yang Zaixing again, how not to make him feel intimidated.

However, he quickly adjusted his mood, and after arguing until now, he can be considered to have figured out some situations, although these Huaxia troops are strict, they are not cruel to the merchants who come to do business.

Yang Zaixing was a little reckless, he didn't see Sajjar's disguise, but instinctively made him feel that the guy in front of him, who claimed to be a Persian merchant, was a bit of a problem.

It's just that there are only seven people and eleven horses, even if they are spies, what can they do?

Therefore, Yang Zaixing was not ready to entangle, and after understanding the situation, he asked directly: "You said that you went to the Central Plains to do business, but the Seljuks prepared for this war more than half a year ago, how could you not know that you came from Persia to do business?" ”

Sajar saluted, then turned back and looked around: "Sir, please see, like us, we are not the only ones who have come to do business at this time. Over the years, the products of China have spread all over the world. King Ji has a good way of governing the government, so it will be like this, although we are far away, but also admire China, this is the time to come, where can we care if there is going to be a war? And sir, only when the trade routes are cut off at the time of war, will our goods be worth much! ”

When he said this, Yang Zaixing was dizzy and completely uninterested. People who are reckless naturally have their own solutions to their problems. Therefore, Yang Zaixing raised his eyebrows: "In other words, you even cost your life and everything in order to pursue profits?" ”

Sajar nodded vigorously.

"Okay, come on, give him a box of canned meat!"

Suddenly, someone brought a box of canned meat, which in Sajar's eyes was a round iron box. Nowadays, the development of the Donghai Chamber of Commerce in the four provinces is completely unfettered, so the production of steel has increased significantly, and some special uses of iron have also developed. In particular, the merchant ships to Southeast Asia brought back a large amount of tin ore, so tin-plated iron was also used for military food preservation. The original bulky clay pots were replaced by this "tin iron can" and used to hold military cans.

"Eat." Yang Zaixing waved his hand and said to Saijar: "One piece per person." ”

Sajar was inexplicable, he believed that what was contained in this iron shell should not be poison, and there was a smell of meat after opening. This Han warrior is clearly suspicious of their identities, but why don't you catch them, but give them meat to eat?

"Pork, if you eat pork, I believe you will do anything to make money." Yang Zaixing said expressionlessly.

Sajar couldn't understand Yang Zaixing's words, but the interpreter's face was very wonderful at the time, and it took a while for him to hold back a smile and translate Yang Zaixing's words.

This time Sajar's expression is also very exciting.

He endured it himself, took out a piece of luncheon meat, chewed it dryly, and then showed a flattering smile to Yang Zaixing.

But behind him, someone couldn't help it and scolded him.

There is no need to translate, Yang Zaixing also knows that the scolding is definitely not a good thing, he looked at Sajar expressionlessly: "Obviously, you are not people who can do anything to make money. ”

"You ......"

At this point, Sajar tried to defend himself, but the interpreter jumped up and looked ecstatic on his face.

The soldier who scolded loudly was a fanatic believer in the Great God Eater Sect, he only followed the teachings, so he obeyed Saijar, and now Saijar violated the teachings, he scolded not only Yang Zaixing, but also Saijar, and even revealed Saijar's identity.

Such fanatics, their stupid stubbornness, often break through the limits of humanity!

"It's the Sultan, he's the Sultan of the Seljuks, his men have confessed, and I've done a great job!" The interpreter exclaimed with laughter.

Saijar turned around and wanted to leave, but when he saw Yang Zaixing's eyes as sharp as lightning, he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his heroic posture on the battlefield.

"I am the Seljuk Sultan Saijar, and I am willing to surrender to His Royal Highness Zhou Quan, the Lord of China and the King of the Sea, and please give me a courtesy worthy of my status......" He hung his head very reluctantly and saluted Yang Zaixing.
