Chapter 518: Nine Pounds, Nine Twenty-Nine Coins (II)
"What kind of rebellion is just an excuse for Bo Lu to purge dissidents."
"Oh?"
"Thinking that the envoy first came to Broken Leaf City, I don't know the specific situation of this Broken Leaf City.
Li Ke got another glass of wine for Yang Shouwen, then sat down and said softly: "In recent years, the situation in Broken Leaf City has not been particularly stable.
Since last May, when the Turks crossed the Broken Leaf River and forcibly seized Kulan City, the situation here has become more and more tense. Bo Lu wanted to dominate Shattered Leaf City alone, so he formed an alliance with the Uzile people. But this Broken Leaf City was originally built by a profiteer, so how could it tolerate Bo Lu's behavior? So since last year, the two sides have been in conflict, and the contradictions have been intensifying.
The sudden death of Alleppey in the Senate this year further weakened the voice of the Lili.
However, after all, the profiteers will have a thick foundation, so they secretly contacted the Wuzhile people and spent a lot of money to win over the other party. At the same time, the Lili people also wanted to welcome back Ashinabuzhen's son Hu Seluo from Chang'an. Although Hu Seluo has been away from the Western Regions for many years, with the name of Ashina Buzhen, most of the ten Turks are still willing to obey him.
If Huthro returns to Shattered Leaf City, Bo Lu will be suppressed.
Therefore, after Bo Lu heard the news, he suddenly attacked five days ago and completely wiped out the power of the Alleppey family......"
Ashina Buzhen's name, Yang Shouwen has heard of it.
But Hu Cello is a little unfamiliar.
He frowned slightly, he didn't expect there to be such a complicated inside story.
"Who do you think is better to hand over Shattered Leaf City to?"
Li Ke thought for a moment and said softly: "Actually, I think it would be better for the Tyrant to control Shattered Leaf City...... First, the people of Lingli have very close business contacts with Dongtu. This is a group of pure businessmen who don't have much ambition.
Moreover, the pullers are in comparison. More affection for the imperial court.
On the other hand, the people of Lili traded in the Western Regions, even as far as Dahuo...... They can be good mediators and are able to maintain stability in Anthy.
Bo Lu is a person...... Hehe, Turkic species, and ambitious. I don't think he'll be honest once he takes control of Shattered Leaf City. On the contrary, once he controls Shattered Leaf City, the entire Anxi trade route will be controlled by him, and it is difficult to guarantee that he will not cause trouble at that time. ”
Li Ke's analysis made Yang Shouwen frown.
"Then can you contact Bao Dajun and secretly spy on Bo Lu?"
Li Ke said softly: "The envoy of the Baoda Army and Bo Lu are in-laws, how can they be dedicated?
Actually, I had reminded Yan Jun before and asked him to pay attention to Bo Lu. Yan Jun also said at the time. When he returns, he will tighten his grip on Bo Lu.
Didn't expect ......"
"Then have you contacted the imperial court?"
Li Ke smiled bitterly and shook his head slightly.
"I'm just a small person, how can I contact the court?
To be honest, if it weren't for the envoy coming today, I wouldn't even know how to contact the court, let alone whether the court would have trusted me. ”
This is the biggest crux of Xiaoluantai in Anxi.
The previous principal, Yan Zhi, is undoubtedly a guy with a very strong desire to control.
He's not bad, but he's too controlling. So much so that when he disappeared. The entire Anxi area of Xiaoluantai is paralyzed. The agents didn't know each other, after what happened. I don't know how to contact the imperial court.
If it weren't for Yan Zhi reporting this porcelain workshop to Shangguan Wan'er, even if Yang Shouwen came, he wouldn't know where to start.
"Li Ke, I want you to take charge of the affairs of Xiaoluantai in the entire Mengchi area from now on.
You have to find a way to get in touch with other people as soon as possible and make it work effectively...... Meantime. I will write a letter, and you will also write a letter, ordering someone to send it to the Eastern Capital Da Maitreya Temple as soon as possible, and inform the court of the situation here.
Are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility? ”
Li Ke listened. Immediately overjoyed.
He hurriedly bowed down and said, "The villain is willing to obey the orders of the messenger." ”
"Don't call me a messenger, I'm a monk now, it's better to call me an elder."
Yang Shouwen said and gently rubbed his temples.
He found that the situation in Anthy was really a bit tricky. Yan Zhi has been missing for so long, which means that the entire Mengchi Imperial Protectorate has lost control. It's not going to be easy to get him back on track. Not to mention, the situation in Shattered Leaf City is also complicated now, Bo Lu has killed Alleppey's liers, what will he do next?
"Besides, there's one more thing, you can help me inquire."
"Ask the elders for orders."
"The wife and brother of the Tingzhou Ye Manshou envoy named Abu Sijida disappeared in Kuzhanti last year.
After that, his family searched through various means, but could not find his whereabouts. Once you've reached out to another agent, try to find out about him. ”
"Abth Gidah?"
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, and said softly: "But the people of the Turgish Abuth tribe? ”
"Yes."
Yang Shouwen suddenly came to his senses, and grabbed Li Ke's hand, "Do you know his whereabouts?" ”
"I don't know."
Li Ke said in a deep voice: "However, I know that the Absi people are now very powerful in the area of Yibohai.
The reason why the Uzil people crossed the Broken Leaf River and occupied the city of Kulan was also because of the rise of the Abs, who drove them out of the Yibo Sea...... The elders rest assured that as long as Nabu Sijida is alive, the villain will be able to find his whereabouts. ”
has been worried for a long time, and now that he has won Li Ke's promise, Yang Shouwen's mood has finally eased a lot.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion outside.
Li Ke's face changed, and he hurriedly stood up.
Yang Shouwen also hurriedly got up and subconsciously stared at Li Ke.
"Li Ke, you come out."
It was a woman who spoke, and the door was suddenly opened.
Several women poured into the room, led by an orchid, fair-skinned and tall, estimated to be about 180 centimeters, half a head taller than Li Ke. With a big belly, she walked into the house in a rage.
However, when she saw Yang Shouwen in the house, she was stunned.
"Lady, what are you doing?"
Li Ke's face was red, and he looked a little angry.
And the orchid stood at the door in a daze, and after a moment turned his head and asked, "Husband, aren't you meeting your lover in private?" ”
"Which one is meeting the lover?"
Li politely blushed, glanced at Yang Shouwen secretly, and then pointed to the orchid and said, "Agna, don't mess around, okay." I'm in business...... This elder is a great monk from the East and wants to buy some Buddhist vessels.
You, you, you...... Who have you heard that I have a private lover? ”
"I ......"
The orchid was also out of proportion, looked at Yang Shouwen, and then at Li Ke, and said in a voice: "I saw Pang Huanlong sneaky, and when I saw you closed the door, I thought it was ...... Husband, I'm just passing by here, I'll go back first, you can be busy. ”
After saying that, the orchid turned around and left.
Only Li Ke and Yang Shouwen were left in the inner room, looking at each other and speechless for a long time...... (To be continued.) )
