Outside the Jinyang Pass of Chen Guo, the autumn wind swept through the long yellow sand. "Out of Zhao Chen in the west, there is no one to be desolate through the ages", which is the desert outside Jinyang Pass in the northwest, where there are no people for thousands of miles. The desert doesn't even have a name, because the only thing that can be called a "desert" is the boundless gold in the west of Kyushu.

However, the merchants of Chen Guo who have the courage to go west to Jinyang Pass to do business all know that in fact, the desert does not stretch for thousands of miles, nor is it uninhabited for thousands of miles.

Zhao Qi liked to wander when he was young. He went out to Jinyang Pass once with the caravan of the Zhuge family, and he could no longer resist the charm of the desert. He has been there many, many times since then. He gradually formed his own caravan, took Chen Guo's silk silks, long swords, spices, and salt grains out of Jinyang Pass, and then brought back to Chen Guo the horses, scimitars, furs, and dried meat of the Rong barbarians at the end of the desert and sold them in the Fanjing black market.

He was once the most unbeatable vendor in the black market in Fanjing. For he had conquered the nameless desert, and many, many times, and each time, he could conquer it.

When Zhao Qi was forty years old, he was reluctant to go west to Jinyang to take business. Not because he felt that he was old and needed a stable life, but because he had conquered the desert and felt that it was nothing more than that. When he was forty years old, he found another object he wanted to conquer - the female owner of the Fanjing Linjiang Restaurant branch, Yan Niangzi.

He heard that Yan Niangzi was over thirty years old and unmarried, but he felt that she didn't look like a woman who was already thirty years old. Besides, he himself didn't marry at the age of forty, so even if Yan Niangzi didn't marry until he was forty years old, what was so strange? Since she was not married, he was not married, so he waited for her.

After that, he went west to Jinyang Guan and went to business for several years, and decided to make another lot of money, so that he could have the confidence to marry the Yan Niangzi who was even more invincible than him. Every time he returned to Chen, he would bring Yan Niangzi a lot of Rong goodies, but Yan Niangzi never accepted his affection.

He was at a loss, the little girl adopted by Mrs. Yan, the little girl who was disguised as a man and mixed in the black market all day long, suddenly opened a cosmetics shop in Fanjing with her cousin, and the business was booming and became famous overnight.

Zhao Qi had an idea, and felt that no one in Chen Guo was better than him in business. It's just that the business he does outside the customs is expressly forbidden in Chen Guo, and he has only lived in the black market for so many years. He went to the little girl's shop to recommend himself, and told the little girl and her cousin that he could help them, spread Biliang cosmetics all over Chen Guo, and even open them outside the customs, there was no problem. He felt that in this way, he would be able to shake and shake in front of the beautiful Yan Niangzi every day, and one day, she would find that he was her backer and her destination.

But now that he is fifty years old, Biliang cosmetics shops have opened all over Chen Guo, and he has really been taken to Guanwai by other traders, and he is no longer a black market vendor, but the most respected shopkeeper of Yan's industry and Su's industry in Chen Guo, and even occasionally can enter and exit Chen Guo's household official office in bright clothes, but Yan Niangzi still does not agree to marry him.

However, after knowing each other for ten years, he has always been with her, and the rumors have long tied the two of them together, she can't run away, and she can't hide, so he slowly consumes with her! Although I am older than you, I am old and you are old!

Zhao Qi had just come out of the official office of the household department, dressed brightly and in good spirits, so he went straight to the Linjiang Restaurant branch, which happened to be the time for lunch.

He sat in the restaurant and stared at Yan Niangzi who was busy with a smile. Yan Xiao occasionally glared back at him. He felt that Yan Niangzi had never stared at others for ten years, only at him, and he was much different from others, and he looked at him much harder than others, which was really pleasant.

He gulped down the braised pork made by Yan Niangzi, and somehow, he suddenly thought of the roast leg of lamb of the Rong clan outside Guanwai. It's been a long time since I've eaten that taste, and I miss it a little.

At this time, an old man dressed as a Chu man walked up to Zhao Qiye and saluted: "Excuse me Zhao Qiye, my surname is Mo, and the lord is the Zhuge clan of Chu State. ”

Zhao Qi heard that the person who came was from the Zhuge family, a great merchant of Chu State, so he hurriedly swallowed the braised pork, got up and saluted back: "Under Zhao Qi, I don't know what Master Mo is looking for Zhao Qi?" ”

Mo Xin died: "There are many people here, I don't know if there is a private room in the restaurant, so that the two of us can discuss carefully?" ”

Zhao Qi nodded and said, "There is a box, Zhao Qi will take Master Mo there." ”

The two came to the most secluded box in the restaurant, Yan Xiao served some tea and food to the two, then retreated and closed the door.

Mo Xin died: "Presumably Zhao Qiye has heard that your boss Yan is in the Yihui Palace in Zichuan, Shu Kingdom, and is matched by the King of Shu, the Lord of Weiguo, and the Lord of Qi, and married our Young Master Zhuge . ”

Zhao Qi nodded and smiled: "I heard it, I heard it!" I didn't expect that little girl to really know how to do business, and she was shrewd enough to calculate her life's major events! Then he "snorted" again, and said unhappily: "But that white-eyed wolf girl, for such a big thing as getting married, invited all the heroes of the four countries, and didn't invite us to go!" I don't even ask someone to bring a letter! If you recognize the lord of the country as your father-in-law, don't you know our poor relatives? ”

Mo Xinji explained: "Although the wedding banquet between the young master and the young lady was grand, it was actually very hasty. Those guests from the four countries did not go specifically for the wedding banquet. They went to the Shu Palace to participate in the competition of the Four ** League, and by the way, they stayed in the Shu Palace to attend the wedding banquet of the young master and the young lady. The young master and the young lady were busy with Qi Wei's restoration of the country, and they didn't even send out a wedding card. Zhao Qiye watched the young lady grow up, so he naturally blessed the young lady from afar. The wedding banquet is just a banquet, and when the young lady comes back to Chen Guo in the future, she will make up for it, so why worry about it? ”

Zhao Qi waved his hand and said: "The white-eyed wolf girl who climbs the dragon and the phoenix, if she doesn't give birth to one or two fat sons, don't come back to see us!" ”

Mo Xin died: "The young lady is already the left forward general of Qi Guofu**, I am afraid that in the past year and a half, I will not have time to have children, and I will not have time to return to Chen State." ”

Zhao Qi said with a smile: "No matter whether she is for Qi or Chen, anyway, the people of Song should fight!" She went to fight Song Guo, and Zhao Qi and I were happy. ”

Mo Xindie lowered his voice and said, "Zhao Qiye, Qi Wei is rarely old, although it is allied with Chen Shu and the two countries, but the alliance of the four countries is not united. Chen Shu and the two countries, in fact, have their own considerations and calculations, and will not do their best to help Qi and Wei. As for the Song State, the Song army has been the most powerful army in Kyushu since the time of King Wu of the Song Dynasty, otherwise it would not have been possible to break through the two kingdoms of Qi and Wei in just a few years. ”

Zhao Qi asked: "Is Master Mo saying that the Four ** Alliances may not be able to win the Song Kingdom?" ”

Mo Xin said with a dead face: "I must not be able to beat it." ”

Zhao Qi frowned: "Then why do you want to fight?" Does the white-eyed wolf girl know that she is going to die? "If you want to talk about "The Ups and Downs of the Nations" with more like-minded people, follow "Hot Network or rd444" on WeChat to chat about your favorite books with more book friends
