63, wealth comes from the east

The young man shouted outside the door, and the three men in black pushed three strong men in a wooden cart in, the three men were strong and burly, and each of them was about the same as Helan Shou.

It seems that they were also fed a medicinal soup like Ma Boiling San, groggy and unconscious.

The two girls surrounded them again and began to touch and pinch the three men.

The medicinal power of Ma Boiling Powder slowly reached Helan Shou's whole body, and he felt that his head was groggy and comfortable, and the only thing he didn't adapt to was that his body was also groggy, as if his arms and legs were not his own. In the end, it was hard to even open my eyelids.

Before Helan Shou fell asleep completely, he vaguely remembered that the young man took out a strangely shaped knife from the copper basin, walked up to one of the strong men, and slowly cut his arm.

The young man's movements were very slow and serious, and He Lanshou watched like this and fell asleep.

Helan Shou never returned, Li Fuguo couldn't rest assured, and almost ordered someone to turn over Chang'an City, but there was still no trace of him.

When the little eunuchs rushed back to the palace of the prosecutor's office anxiously, they found that at some point, a carriage was parked outside the door, and the horse was probably ridden away, leaving only the carriage to park there abruptly.

The carriage was blocking the door of the prosecutor's hall, and the posture was full of provocation.

The dozen or so little eunuchs who came back first immediately surrounded the carriage, drew their swords in their hands, and stared at them.

In an instant, everyone was ready to respond, and a little eunuch stretched out a horizontal knife and picked it up, and the curtain of the carriage suddenly fell.

"Ah, the Archsteward. ”

"It's the Grand Steward. ”

"Oh, what's going on, Boss?"

The little eunuchs recognized the person in the car at a glance, it was Helan Shou, who had never returned in the morning.

Everyone was stunned all of a sudden, only to see Helan Shou's face pale, his eyes slightly closed, his lips twitching slightly, and the whole person seemed to have been pumped out of three souls and seven spirits, and he sat there stiffly with his back against the carriage.

"Lord Helan?"

"The Grand Steward?"

The few little eunuchs in front couldn't help but shout softly, and Helan Shou blinked lightly, a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Quick, bring the adults inside. ”

The little eunuchs didn't understand what was going on, so they didn't dare to act rashly, and at this time, it happened that Yu Nuohai also rushed back, and simply asked people to carry the entire carriage into the palace.

Helan Shou was placed in a side room, which was originally his resting place during his night duty.

Helan Shou's consciousness had begun to slowly recover, and the first thing he remembered when he woke up was the young man who was wrapping bandages around his arm, and he was surprised to find that the young man's face had many wrinkles, and his whole face had become pale and thin.

It's just an old man who is over the age of old.

Yu Nuohai pressed his fingers on Helan Shou's neck and pressed them on He Lanshou's wrist.

"You're just too tired and need a good rest. Yu Nuohai suddenly caught a glimpse of Helan Shou's once broken left arm, which grew back at this moment, "Your arm?"

He Lanshou nodded affirmatively.

At this time, a little eunuch in the palace suddenly rushed over, saying that there was something important and wanted to see Lord Yu Nuohai immediately.

It turned out that as soon as Yu Nuohai came out of Li Fuguo's room, he began to monitor Xue Yiliu.

This little eunuch came for exactly that.

Turn right out of Suzaku Gate, and you will be in the direction of Nishichi. All the way to the west, the neighborhood is lined with tall gates and pavilions.

The West Market is mainly dominated by exotic trade, and there is a dazzling array of gold, silver, spices, ivory, clothing, wine, vegetables and fruits from exotic places such as Tianzhu, Persia, Dashi, Silla, Baekje, Fusang, Linyi, Chenla, and Biguo, which are either sold here to the officials and people of Chang'an, or transferred to various state capitals by the caravans of the Tang Dynasty.

The journey of foreign business travel is difficult and dangerous, and the profit return is naturally very considerable. Therefore, a large number of wealthy businessmen and magnates live in the alleys around Xishi, not only the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, but also many foreign merchants also choose to settle in Chang'an and build luxurious mansions.

Since the An Lushan Rebellion, the imperial court dispatched a large number of garrisons from Beiting and Anxi to quell the rebellion, and the Silk Road lacked the protection of the Tang Dynasty, and bandits swarmed, and the trade routes in the West were seriously damaged, and the caravans from the Western Regions were much less.

In the past, Chang'an Right Street was so prosperous, and some large families still feasted and sang even after the curfew.

The area around Xishi is becoming more and more deserted, and when the times are peaceful and prosperous, I don't feel that all this has anything to do with me, and when the mountains and rivers are broken, I find that the safety of the country is related to everyone's life and destiny.

There was still some time before the curfew, and the lights were already gone, and Yu Nuohai couldn't help but sigh. I can't imagine that a cynical person like myself would hope that the rebellion would be put down quickly.

Xue Yiliu's carriage entered Liquanfang, and stopped in front of a very imposing gate, the courtyard was spacious, in addition to the main gate, there was a small door on each side, and there were two large, four small and six big red lanterns hanging at the door.

The plaque has a big golden character - Lu Mansion.

Yu Nuohai smiled secretly, this is Lu Donglai's mansion, Mo said that in Chang'an, it is the Western Regions, both sides of the canal, and the Lingnan seaport, all of which resounded with the name of his golden camel - Lu Donglai.

Indeed, his life is simply a legend, and every man with a little self-confidence dreams of becoming like him.

Because he was not only rich, but also very young.

Lü Donglai is in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, and he came to settle in Chang'an fifteen years ago, when he was only about twenty years old.

He claimed to be a descendant of Lü Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, and his ancestor was a border general in the last years of the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, his family has always regarded himself as a Han person, but looking at his appearance, thick eyebrows and deep eyes, and a straight nose, he should have the blood of Tianzhu people.

As soon as he arrived in Chang'an, he caused a sensation, handsome, golden, and alone, no matter which girl he was, he couldn't help but be tempted by it.

However, he has been alone for more than ten years and has not married. Although there are many speculations in the market, they are all gone.

Today, it is only known that his family began to decline in his grandfather's generation, and his father had no choice but to take risks, borrow money, and run a camel caravan.

It was a camel team with only about 30 camels, and even if it only operated between Qiuzi and Chang'an, it was very difficult to operate.

Later, due to poor management, the loan could not be repaid, and his parents were forced to commit suicide in desperation.

The caravan was left to him.

"Ah, is it Lu Ye who paid back the money to buy camels?"

The girls who heard this story for the first time asked curiously.

"Nope. Lu Donglai smiled evilly.

"Then why would someone leave the camel team to Lu Ye?"

For the latter question, there have been two answers circulating.

One answer is that Lu Donglai personally admitted that he killed all those loan sharks.

Another answer was that he spent a whole day negotiating with the loan sharks, and eventually they gave up on recovering the money.

As for the future, he first worked hard to maintain the camel caravan and helped some big businesses run merchants, and soon saw the opportunity, set up his own business, and built shops and warehouses in the West Market, and the rewards became more and more lucrative.

Now, few people remember that inconspicuous little business, he changed his name, now called Wanchang business, mainly engaged in the business of the Western Regions to Persia and Tianzhu along the way, with a total of more than 20 large camel teams, each camel team at least 1,000 camels.

Probably because of the greed and insatiability of the merchants flowing in his bones, he established the Four Seas Merchant and opened up the Yellow River, the Yangtze River, the canal and other major inland rivers, with a total of more than 100 ships, directly transporting goods from the Western Regions and Western countries to every corner of the Tang Dynasty.

Of course, the later merchants of the four seas were really prosperous in the four seas, and he purchased more than 30 sea ships in the ports of Guangzhou and Fuzhou, covering the business of various countries in the South Seas, and could directly reach Tianzhu, Persia, Lion Country, Rakshasa Country and other places through waterways.

The so-called wealth and wealth are probably like this. There were many people like him on Chang'an Right Street at that time.

Therefore, after a few years of excitement among the girls in Chang'an City, his name slowly faded away.

Because he had never made a vow to a girl, let alone a marriage covenant.

Of course, that's not to say he's not close to women. He had so many women that he had never remembered a single woman.

Is it him? Yu Nuohai suddenly felt a little more curious in his heart.

It was probably an agreement a long time ago, or the owner of the house expected Xue Yiliu to come tonight. Hearing the sound of the carriage, the small door on one side opened first, and the head poked out was a bright-eyed old man.

As soon as the carriage stopped, Lao Suo rushed to the sedan chair with a lantern and welcomed Xue Yiliu into the house.

Hiding in the shadows of the walls and pavilions, Yunuohai followed carefully.

There is a high-rise building built in the backyard of Lu Mansion, with six floors, and it is very magnificent at night, overlooking Chang'an.

Xue Yiliu entered the building, and Lao Suo retreated, allowing her to go upstairs alone.

The man who was waiting for Xue Yiliu was indeed Lu Donglai.

To be honest, when Yu Nuohai saw the scene of their meeting, he was still a little disappointed.

As soon as he came up, he grabbed her by the hand, and with a somewhat self-satisfied smile on his face, he let her into the house.

Yu Nuohai couldn't see Xue Yiliu's face, but it was conceivable that she was also very happy. The two soon became entangled.

Tsk tsk. Looks like it's been a busy job tonight.

These two should be old lovers, and this Lu Donglai is also a celebrity in the Tang royal family, not only made friends with many princes and princes, but also contributed financial resources to donate military salaries, grain and grass many times after the An Lushan rebellion, and transported them to the front line through their own water and land channels.

Could it be that Xue Yiliu still doesn't know the news of the failure to assassinate the king of Guangping?

Or was last night's Assassin not at the behest of the Queen?

According to Li Fuguo's intelligence, it should be right. Perhaps, she is going to take the opportunity to meet her lover first, and then she may go to meet the crow.

Lu Donglai?

Ever since I decided to help King Gwangpyeong, my perspective on things has changed a lot. Yes, even if he once contributed to the rebellion of Datang, it doesn't mean that he has no problems.

Yunuo sea cat was outside the window, shrunk up, and quietly listened to the movement in the house.
