Chapter 207: Lord Shanshan

Talhan always has a mysterious and dark aura on his body, but he almost never mentions it to outsiders, and not everyone can accept the Five Paths, even if his intentions are good, no one may be willing to accept his favor, and he will not be grateful to you if you tell him the truth.

Therefore, he rarely uses these spells, especially after obtaining status and money by force, there is no need for him to show these forbidden spells to others, and the meeting with Hou Mo Chen Chong at this moment is the common ground between the two out of political demands. However, it is obvious that Hou Mo Chen Chong's requirements are stronger, because his position in the Western Wei Group is gradually ********, but fortunately, he controls the main roads to the Western Regions such as Longxi and Tianshui, and his relationship with Li Bi in Liangzhou in the south is quite harmonious, at least he is free from some worries.

But peace is not something you can find yourself, it is something you need to seek on your own initiative, and the price of peace in those days was that you had to have a strong armed force to deter the enemy, so that you could negotiate with others, otherwise you would only perish.

When Hou Mo Chen Shun and his entourage arrived in Shanshanguo, it was already half a month later, and on the way, they came over the mountains and mountains, avoiding the official roads that were easy to walk, and picking mountain trails, the more sparsely populated they were, the more they drilled there, and when they arrived in Shanshan, they were already unrecognizable. Fortunately, there were no casualties, which was lucky.

Shanshan is a free country, and the lord of the city-state is a Shanshan man named Pu Liyan, who is about forty years old, shrewd and strong, and has superb martial arts, especially a spear in one hand, which is said to have been ordered by a famous teacher, and is invincible all over the Western Regions. This person is open-minded and benevolent, and the Shanshan people like him very much, so they promote him as a lord.

So what is the truth? Pri and Tar Khan met in business in their early years, and later broke up because of the Turkic crusade, but Pri has always received financial support from Tar Khan, plus he knows a kind of kung fu of five gods: hairy spear technique. has money and knows evil arts, basically no one in Shanshan is his opponent (all the competitors died inexplicably), plus he constantly spends money with the poor, shushing them and asking for warmth, pretending to be very close to the people, Shanshan is controlled in this way.

Talhan wanted Pri to control Shanshan so that the Wutong God could have a foothold in the Western Regions, which was consistent with the requirements of the high priest, although the high priest had high mana over the years, but he could not win the hearts of the people, he could make people die, but he could not drive the living to do things for him and preach doctrines for him, so he decided to change his strategy, and specifically selected some "potential stocks" and "elite stocks" that could be funded for investment in the appearance of businessmen, and then tempted them with their tragic past or unattainable wishes, Step by step, let them believe in the five gods, and then work for themselves.

What is Pri's wish? His wish was not to be called around like a slave, but to be a rich man and even the lord of a city. These things were not something that a merchant could easily achieve, but the High Priest promised to help him achieve his wish in a short period of time, provided that he believed in the Five Gods. Of course, he refused at first, but Tar Khan came out to speak, which made Prisu waver, and finally gradually became a believer in the god of the five links.

Here is a brief explanation of Pu Liyan's past, he is the son of a peasant in Gaochang, because his family is poor, he was sold by his father to a landlord's family in Shanshan as a servant, but when he arrived at the landlord's house, there was a beautiful young lady in the landlord's family: the landlord's daughter Aima. The landlord's daughter also seemed to have taken an interest in the young man, and the two often flirted with each other, and complained to each other when no one was around.

The naΓ―ve Puri thought that the young lady must be in love with him, and he was also really in love with this beautiful young lady, but how did he know that Aima was just looking at him young and handsome, and playing with him, because he had already promised the biggest rich man in Shanshan City to be his little wife. It seems that no matter where the people are, no matter what nationality they are, there are always people who sell their daughters and wives in exchange for money.

So the reality is always cruel, when Pri learned that the young lady was about to marry into the richest family, his heart was broken, he wanted to ask the young lady why he was like this, but the young lady was unwilling to see him again, he went to the old man to ask about the situation, but as a result, he was hung up and beaten by the landlord, and he was locked up in the firewood room to die, this kind of ugly landlord must not let him live to say it.

At this moment, the High Priest and Tar Khan appeared, and Tar Khan rescued the dying Pri in time, and the High Priest healed his wounds, and the first thing Pri did when he returned to normal was not to thank them for saving his life, but to go to the richest man's house to find Ayima and ask him personally. Tarhan asked the high priest in confusion, "Is it worth saving such a person for the sake of a woman?" The high priest said in a deep voice in the big cloak: "This person has a strong desire, which means that he has a great weakness, and the greater the weakness, the easier it is for this person to be controlled." He'll be of use to you, don't worry. ”

The result of Priyu is obvious, he didn't find Ayima but was almost killed, there was no way for Talhan to rescue him again, this time Pri saw Aima being led into the marriage room by the richest man under the magic perspective of the high priest, the richest man seemed to be in his forties, but he was very handsome, very characteristic of the Western Regions, and the most important thing was that he seemed to like the young Ayima. Prixan completely lost his confidence, and his heart was like ashes.

Although Tarhan hated this man and felt that he had delayed his journey towards his goal, the high priest told him that there were some things that could not be accomplished alone, and that there must be several "like-minded" partners to participate in the grand event. There was no way for Tar Khan to enlighten and persuade Prisu every day, and someone asked, why did the high priest have to join Prisu to join the Five Paths? The reason is very simple, Pri's mother is the illegitimate daughter of the high priest, that is to say, Prichen is the grandson of the high priest, but the high priest never told Tarhan this inside story, because he didn't want to be said to be pulling his relatives on the road of no return, and he had not fulfilled his responsibility to raise Prijun's mother, and now he has to poison his grandson, and the high priest has gone crazy.

At this moment, Pri was sitting on the fine carpet bought from Persia, drinking delicious wine, admiring the beautiful dancing girls, and Tarhan on the side was also bored looking into the distance thinking about his thoughts, his mind was not at all in this beautiful music. At this time, an attendant warrior came from the corridor on the side, and saw him whispering a few words in Puri's ear. Then Priss waved at him, and the attendants went down, and Priss clapped his hands, the music stopped, and the dancers all withdrew.

Tarhan turned his head and asked, "Have they arrived?" Prisan smiled at him and nodded, not speaking. Then, the attendant warrior from before came to him with the ragged Hou Mo and Chen Shun and his party. Prisan stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Welcome, my distant guests, here it is like home, please feel free." Saying that, they asked people to bring food and water to Hou Mo, Chen Shun and others, and at this moment they estimated that they needed water even more.

Tarhan stepped forward and said, "May I ask who is ......" Before he could finish speaking, Hou Mo Chen Shun had already stood up and said: "You are the respected Lord Tarhan, I am Hou Mo Chen Shun." And he saluted him. Tarhan pretended to be surprised and said, "Ah, you are Lord Hou Mochen, disrespectful and disrespectful. Hou Mo Chen Shun was a little surprised by Thal's fluent Chinese.

Few people will say sinicization in the land outside the Saiwai, although this is the Silk Road, most of the merchants come and go from the Western Regions, and it is rare to see Han people running business here, so the Silk Road, especially after coming out of the Yumen Pass, is more of a mixture of local dialects, taking Shanshan as an example, the Shanshan language they speak, although it is almost a different branch of a nation from the nearby Jimo, Jingjue, Kuami, Khotan, etc., but the language used by each other is completely different.

But Hou Mo Chen Shun has also seen big scenes through ups and downs, especially for the Western Regions area, he knows more than his younger brother, so this is why he was sent to negotiate peace, and the main problem is that Hou Mo Chen Chong can't leave Guanzhong now, because the timing is very delicate at this time, and he is afraid that he will miss the opportunity and be thrown out of the car, and it is very dangerous to act alone before hiking.

Now it's not just Hou Mo and Chen Chong who are looking for foreign aid, many forces are slowly infiltrating into the Western Wei Dynasty. For example, the Turks, such as the Western Regions forces, such as the Eastern Wei Gaohuan Group, such as the Tuyuhun in the southwest. All forces are here to stir up. So before leaving, he told Hou Mo Chen Shun that it was best to negotiate the covenant, and it was good to buy some military horses if he couldn't negotiate it.

He will greet the town generals along the way, and let them go when the time comes. Therefore, the main purpose of Hou Mo Chen Shun's visit this time is actually to buy horses. Especially Kangju's sweaty BMW. Although Shanshan is still some distance away from Kangju and Dawan, this cannot hinder Hou Mo Chenshun's road to buying horses.

Shanshan at night changed the scorching heat of the day, the cool breeze poured into the room along the window, the people who blew were refreshed and very comfortable, the room was brightly lit, Puri sat on the upper seat with a wine glass, Tarhan sat on the left hand side, Hou Mo Chen Shun sat on his right hand side (the ethnic minorities are on the left, and the Han people are the opposite) The dancers in the main hall are performing exotic dances, and Tar Khan frequently toasts to Hou Mo Chen Shun.

His peace talks with Hou Mo Chen Shun went surprisingly well, and the two sides soon reached a consensus and concluded a private alliance: the Turks invested in them by force, and they returned by completely opening the trade route to them, and although Hou Mo Chen Chong could not let all the shops in Guanzhong buy and sell the things of the Western Regions, he could let the merchants of Tarhan and Puli Yun travel freely on the road of Qinzhou, Ganzhou, and Liangzhou.

But if Zhang Jun of Guazhou is also so reasonable, this Hou Mo Chen Chong can't guarantee it, after all, it is already out of Yumen Pass and is not in his sphere of influence, presumably something is really going to happen, and Shanshan and Turks can't blame him. I saw Talhan raise his wine glass and come to Hou Mo Chen Shun and said: "I have always longed to go to the prosperous Chang'an to see, but I don't have the opportunity, if it is possible in the future, I will ask the general to introduce me well when I go there to play." He clinked glasses with him.

Hou Mo Chen Shun immediately replied very respectfully, "Lord Talhan still likes our Middle-earth customs? If there really is any day, I should do my best to be a landlord. The two looked at each other and smiled. Puri was just busy enjoying the song and dance, and when he saw him raise his glasses twice, he smiled and asked inexplicably, "What good things are you talking about?" Tarhan said casually: "It's nothing, just talk to General Hou Mochen about the customs of the Central Plains." ”

As soon as Pu Li heard this, he became excited, and then said with great joy: "I have long wanted to see the scenery of Chang'an, and it is said that where gold is everywhere, there are beautiful women everywhere, it is better to see it than to hear it, big brother, when you go, take me with you by the way." The younger brother also went to visit what the Qinglou in the Central Plains looked like. Hou Mo Chen Shun said respectfully: "I'm afraid that our Central Plains women are not as beautiful as the adults here, but I'm afraid that we will disappoint you." ”

Puri said indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just to see the world." Tarhan despised him very much in his heart, and he used the excuse of going to the Central Plains because he wanted to find the long-lost Classic of Mountains and Seas, he didn't have time to go to the Qinglou to drink flower wine, and it was inconvenient for him to go to that kind of place with such an identity, in case someone was found to be caught as a spy, wouldn't it be a shameful thing. But this Pri relied on his own support to live a worry-free life, and also snatched the beautiful Aima over, but he is still him, still unchanged, still so ungrown, but in the instructions to the high priest, he is fully cooperative.
