Qin Xuan laughed and said: "It's still Ashina Brother Tai is interesting enough, talking to Ashina Brother Tai, this smart person, is comfortable and enjoyable!" ”

"Hehe, Gongzi Qin has won the prize, Gongzi Qin still tell me about the salt transaction!" Ashina drank a glass of mare's milk wine, looking very enjoyable, and after drinking, he shook his head slightly, smacked his mouth, and seemed to enjoy it.

"Good!" Qin Xuan applauded and elaborated happily: "Ashina Brother Tai's thirst for salt has already been seen below, so forget it!" ”

Qin Xuan didn't care about the trace of displeasure that flashed at the corner of Ashina's mouth, he just took a breath, and then continued: "In the next meeting, I will find a way to unify the checkpoint and strive to come to Limo to trade once a month, of course, the amount of salt will not be less than two hundred catties!" ”

"What?" Rao is Ashina had already thought about Qin Xuan's backstage as much as possible, and he didn't expect to scare himself. Slightly stunned for a moment, Ashina changed into a smile and smiled: "Okay!" Qin Gongzi won't do big things, this business is beyond my reach! ”

There was still a faint smile on the corner of Qin Xuan's mouth, which made Ashina's heart tremble a little, and after watching it for a long time, he didn't see anything. In the end, it was Qin Xuan who changed his words and said: "However, I just don't know how big Ashina Brother Tai is in Limo, and whether he can swallow this batch of business!" ”

"Joke!" Ashina's face changed slightly, and then he boasted unashamedly: "Qin Gongzi has just come to Limo, and he doesn't know the ability of my Ashina tribe, I can understand." Then I'll tell you about it, when you can save the time when Gongzi Qin is doing business with me, I am a little uneasy! ”

Ashina was obviously a little dissatisfied, but Qin Xuan still smiled calmly: "This is the best, after all, we know ourselves and each other, and we can increase each other's trust!" ”

Ashina was still a little unhappy and snorted coldly. said casually: "Don't hide it from Gongzi Qin, my clan is the leader in Limo, I don't know if I say this, can you understand?" ”

This piece of news made Qin Xuan a little surprised, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Boss, no wonder this Ashina will be so relieved that I will tie them up to facilitate the transaction!" No, I have to know some details, maybe with that showmanship. What does it matter to Ma Xiong, who is not ashamed of his words! ”

After figuring it out, Qin Xuan said with a smile: "Ashina brother Tai is really good at laughing, although you Turks are closer to Limo, but, don't forget how Limo said that it is also the territory of my Tang Dynasty, how can you be the leader of Limo?" ”

Ashina didn't seem to be surprised at all by Qin Xuan's questioning, and smiled slightly: "Hmph, Qin Gongzi." These are the strengths of my clan, and they are still secrets, so I may not tell you! ”

Hear this. Qin Xuan was just about to think about his next plan, but unexpectedly, Ashina changed his words and said, "That's it, in order to let Qin Gongzi know the strength of my clan." I'll just prove it! After a slight pause, Ashina spoke: "The mare's milk wine was bought by the old man of Xige in Limo City, as for the roast whole sheep. To put it mildly, my clan sells it in Limo's livestock shop! ”

Qin Xuan's brows couldn't help frowning slightly, what does Ashina mean by this, is it showing off? Is it a shock? Or what? Although Qin Xuan didn't understand for a while, Qin Xuan had a feeling of displeasure, which surged into his heart, his lower lip trembled slightly, and after a while, Qin Xuan returned to normal, and said in a flat tone: "I really didn't expect it, Brother Ashina has such a big power in Limo, does that mean that he is no longer afraid of being bullied by someone in Limo City!" ”

"That's nature! If Gongzi Qin trades with my Ashina tribe and has a long-term cooperation, not to mention Limo City, no one dares to bully Gongzi Qin, it is the hinterland of the grassland, and there are not many, and it will sell my face! Ashina raised his head slightly, his previous awe of Qin Xuan had long since vanished, replaced by disdain for Qin Xuan, disdain, or naked.

Qin Xuan's eyebrows were raised, his whole body was motionless, and it took a long time to come back to his senses and speak: "Okay, with the words of Ashina Brother Tai, then you can rest assured!" ”

Qin Xuan's loss of voice just now, to put it mildly, was indeed frightened by Ashina. Limo's earth overlord, and also threatened to make Qin Xuan not be bullied in the hinterland of the grassland. If this statement is true, doesn't it mean that Ashina has a lot of face in the Turks. Although, it may be because Ashina has been helping the major tribes to buy salt and other Turkic scarce things, but this is only possible, if not? Ashina can make the surrounding tribes, and even the tribes in the hinterland of the grassland, Ashina is very likely to have some status in the Turks, what will this status be, Qin Xuan can think of it with his toes.

After glancing at Ashina blankly, Qin Xuan then said: "Ashina brother, since you are so capable, then there is something I want to ask you for in the future, I don't know if Brother Tai is willing to help?" ”

Hearing this, Ashina was slightly stunned, frowned and thought to himself for a moment before he said leisurely: "Qin Gongzi, please say, if I can help, I will definitely not stand idly by!" ”

Ashina was only distracted for a moment, and Qin Xuan could also see it clearly, and he was even more sure that this Ashina should be related to Ma Xiong, or the horse thief he thought. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and in the end, it took Qin Xuan a long time to control his emotions and said, "I can't hide it, I'm being blackmailed!" ”

Ashina pretended to be extremely surprised, and looked at Qin Xuan directly for a long time before he spoke: "Qin Gongzi, aren't you joking, you just came to Limo, and you haven't had any entanglements with anyone else except me!" ”

Ashina's acting talent is really a bit bad, Qin Xuan can see it at a glance, in the terminology of the collection world, it is a product at a glance, and in layman's terms, you can know the actual situation at a glance. Even Xing Honglin and the others on the side saw the problem, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of Li Qingrui's mouth.

Qin Xuan sighed deeply, shook his head and said: "Ashina Brother Tai, I don't understand what this is going on until now, it's so decent, there is an extra letter in the inn where I stay, and the letter is written by a person who calls himself Ma Xiong, and the content of the letter is to prepare a generous gift and send it to the mountains in the north of the city within three days!" ”

"Ma Xiong?" Although Ashina pretended to be shocked strongly, he was a little embarrassed by himself, after all, he was really not this material.

"Yes, it's really Ma Xiong! Ashina Brother Tai, what do you say should be done now? Qin Xuan was about to reach his lips with a glass of mare's milk wine, but sighed again. With a clang, it was placed on the table that was not very good, and there was a slight ripple in the pottery bowl.

Ashina looked very embarrassed, and it took a long time before he shook his head and said, "Gongzi Qin, except for this Ma Xiong, I am not afraid of anyone else." Only this one is the horse...... Hey—"

Seeing Ashina sighing, Qin Xuan took the opportunity to ask: "Ashina brother, is this Ma Xiong even more powerful than you, you said just now, you are the leader in Limo!" What does the boss mean. Of course, I understand that it is equivalent to Limo being your Ashina brother's! ”

"Hey—that being said, that Ma Xiong is only on a tiger ride with me, and he can't do anything about me, but he can't deal with me!"

"Huh? Can you tell me more about that? Qin Xuan exerted the spirit of breaking the casserole and asked reluctantly.

"Ma Xiong is the leader of the rumored group of horse thieves in Limo City, the number of horse thieves is not large, there are hundreds of them, but they rely on their elusive hiding skills. Until now, no one knows who they are, only that they have a good reputation in Limo. And it never hurts people, only for money. After a slight pause, Ashina continued: "Gongzi Qin, since you want to do business in Limo for a long time. I advise you not to provoke Ma Xiong! ”

"What?" Qin Xuan's face was stunned, he frowned, and then asked, "Ashina Brother Tai." Didn't you hear what you were saying clearly, it was Ma Xiong who was going to attack me now, not me to provoke him! ”

Ashina seemed indifferent, and said casually: "Gongzi Qin, what's the difference, there is no difference between you provoking him and him provoking you!" Anyway, in the end, it's all you who suffers! Either you're going to die because of it, or you're going to have to give them the generous gifts they want! ”

Qin Xuan's eyebrows suddenly rose with a shameful heroic aura, and he said coldly: "Ashina Brother Tai, if you are down, wouldn't it?" ”

"No? Why not? Could it be that Qin Gongzi's life is not worth anything? Isn't there an old saying in your Central Plains? Stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! And if Ma Xiong takes the money, he will also protect you in secret! Ashina's tone of voice still revealed a trace of awe for Ma Xiong, or horse thief, from time to time.

Qin Xuan took a deep breath, hesitated for a long time, and then asked, "Ashina Brother Tai, in your opinion, how much is it appropriate to give Ma Xiong a generous gift this time?" ”

"This ...... It's hard to say, Ma Xiong has a great reputation in Limo, maybe they also know about your transaction with me, if you give too little, maybe they will be unfavorable to you because of it! Ashina muttered.

Qin Xuan clenched his fist in his right hand and gently hammered the tattered table, once, twice, three times...... I don't know how much time passed, Qin Xuan came back to his senses, and he hadn't moved yet, but he saw Ashina staring at him deadly, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart: "En? Is this Ashina so related to the so-called salt trade, is it difficult to understand that the Turks have no salt to eat? Or is there some conspiracy on the part of Ashina? ”

Just stunned for a moment, Qin Xuan then began to think again, except for Ma Xiong, Qin Xuan thought about Ashina the most. "Ashina is so strange, is it because I don't know about the Turks, or does he have some ulterior secrets, or what?"

After a long time, just when Ashina was a little impatient, Qin Xuan came back to his senses, nodded and said, "Okay, Ashina Brother Tai, I believe you in the future, and I will prepare a generous gift for Ma Xiong!" ”

Hearing this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Ashina's mouth, and then it turned into a trace of concern, and said, "I'm really sorry, Gongzi Qin, I didn't help you!" However, I don't know how many things you want to give them, I can help you think about whether it is suitable or not, otherwise it will be Qin Gongzi who suffers, you say yes! ”

Sensing Ashina's treacherous smile, Qin Xuan did not show it, but followed Ashina's words, stretched out his finger, gestured to one, and said: "This number, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

This is a comparison of numbers, but Qin Xuan learned it in his previous life by following his uncle to the antique market, and there is a lot of attention to it, and who knows what he means by drawing such a one. For example, Qin Xuan's comparison is 10,000 taels, so if Ashina doesn't know and mistakenly thinks it's 1,000 taels, no matter how he raises the price, it will be less than he expected.

Sure enough, Ashina didn't see through how much Qin Xuan said, but based on his own guesses, he asked rhetorically: "One thousand taels?" After a slight pause, he said: "No, Qin Gongzi, your price is too low, when the time comes." If you anger Ma Xiong, you will suffer a loss, you will suffer a big loss, and you may fall into danger because of this! ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan frowned and asked, "En?" Isn't it, then Ashina Xiao Tian, tell me, how much is needed to be appropriate? Don't look at Qin Xuan's sad face and distressed look at the moment, in fact, Qin Xuan's heart has already bloomed at this moment.

What is the reason, you think about it. Ashina, what do you have to do with Ma Xiong, why did you suddenly help Ma Xiong think about it, looking at Ashina's appearance, it seems that he knows Ma Xiong's reserve price, this is not counted, and there is another point, that is, if Ashina is really related to Ma Xiong, when the time comes, he will design to arrest Ma Xiong. Don't worry about failure, after all, there is not much to lose if you fail, Qin Xuan has actually thought about this point clearly. Although he will send troops, he will not put himself in danger and will not let the horse thief doubt his identity.

These Ashina naturally don't know, although Ashina has some brains. has some courage, but Ashina, a Turkic steppe man, how could he be the opponent of Qin Xuan, the old oil who came out of the officialdom of the Central Plains.

At this moment, Ashina still thought that his words had some impact on Qin Xuan. He immediately spoke: "Qin Gongzi, according to the bottom of the list, without this number, you are not willing to let the horse thief let you go?" While speaking, Ashina also learned Qin Xuan's hand to make a slap.

"Five thousand taels?" Qin Xuan asked casually, and then said secretly in his heart. "Isn't it just Er'er? I thought this horse thief's horizons were so wide, but I didn't expect it to be like this! ”

When Ashina heard the five thousand taels that Qin Xuan said, he nodded and said, "Yes, although five thousand taels is a lot, it is not too much for Qin Gongzi!" After all, life matters! ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan was a little annoyed, what do you mean, five thousand taels is not much, his identity as a hard-working businessman, is it easy to smuggle for a while, I didn't expect that just like this, I would take away my five thousand taels!

Raising his head slowly, Qin Xuan glanced at Ashina a few times, and then asked, "Ashina brother, do you think five thousand taels of silver is very little?" Do you think I look like a fat sheep on your steppe? ”

Ashina didn't understand what Qin Xuan meant, so he couldn't help frowning and asked rhetorically, "Young Master Qin, what do you mean?" ”

"The meaning of the lower is that the lower is that you steppe people are serious, like a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered?" Qin Xuan replied casually angrily.

Ashina was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Qin Gongzi's analogy is very appropriate, but if you don't want to, I don't care!" After all, the horse thief has taken a fancy to you, and he may be ambushed somewhere, but it is the life of Qin Gongzi Jin Gui, but it is a little dangerous! ”

The longer the chat with Ashina, the more Qin Xuan suspected that Ashina had something to do with the horse thief, or with that Ma Xiong, and began to think about the context of the matter in his heart.

Ashina seemed very happy to see that Qin Xuan didn't answer, picked up the pottery bowl, drank a glass of mare's milk wine, and then said casually: "And that Ma Xiong is not our steppe people, let alone us Turks, he is your Tang Dynasty!" No, I'm wrong, he seems to be a descendant of the previous dynasty? ”

"The former dynasty? Sui Dynasty? Qin Xuan lost his voice.

"Yes, I've heard about this matter, as if Ma Xiong's father or grandfather was an official of the previous dynasty! As for why he went to Limo to become a horse thief, I don't know about this matter! ”

Ashina's expression when he spoke didn't seem to be lying. This made Qin Xuan a little confused, and he secretly slandered in his heart: "The remnants of the previous dynasty? What do you mean, what's going on, is this Ashina purely for helping me, purely for the salt deal I said earlier? Ashina and Ma Xiong are not related? ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Qin Xuan still had no clue in his heart, Qin Xuan suddenly found that he shouldn't have come to this Limo City, and recalled that he came to the Tang Dynasty, and he had been forced to change history, and he had never wanted to participate in the government politics, but he didn't expect that Li Jiancheng was the remnant of the previous dynasty, and he finally survived to the last shift, and he also had to participate in this remnant of the previous dynasty, why didn't he find out that there were so many problems in this Tang Taizong period before?

Ashina saw that Qin Xuan's face was getting more and more blue, and knew that Qin Xuan must be angry because of this heavy bleeding, so he comforted him: "Qin Gongzi, in fact, you don't need to be so sad, after all, these things are nothing, when the time comes, you can have a good talk with Ma Xiong's people, and you may exchange things for things to reduce your losses!" ”

"Barter? What does this mean, now Ma Xiong is preparing to rob Zaixia, not making a deal with Ma Xiong in Xia! Qin Xuan heard Ashina's words, and blurted out without thinking.

"Qin Gongzi, I mean, when the time comes, you can give the money to that Ma Xiong, and then agree to exchange some of the things that Ma Xiong needs for your own money!" Ashina said with a smile.

"What?" Qin Xuan lost his voice. "Ashina Brother Tai, you are pushing Zai Xia into the fire pit, you were robbed and threatened once this time, it's not enough, you still have to do business with Ma Xiong, do you think there is a problem with Zaixia's IQ?"

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I mean that in front of Ma Xiong, I still have some face, and I can go with you when the time comes!" (To be continued......)
