Chapter 149: Transaction
No matter how much Yang Ping resisted his master's decision, at least in the end, he was still convinced, and then left the General's Mansion with a heavy face and went to the school, leaving Yang Ju alone, still sitting leisurely by the window, until there was a faint sound of footsteps behind him, he turned his head slowly: "I don't know how Zampu rested last night?" The people in my house have always been rude, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, please also praise Haihan. ”
"General Yang is polite." A big black cloak covered most of his head and face, and his face was indistinguishable, but his voice was unusually calm and peaceful: "We Tubo people have grown up on horseback since we were children, and we can endure any kind of hardship, and we are not so delicate." The general doesn't have to think of me as one of those noble sons of your gods, so I am embarrassed to be so cautious and polite. "In fact, after all, Datang is a party with unrivaled national strength, even if it is a general's mansion built in a remote place like Biansai, it is magnificent, simple and elegant, and there is no trace of shabby and rude. Even if it is not as good as his dormitory, it is far more comfortable than the residence of some small nobles in Tibet. Even if he wants to find fault, he may not be able to find it, not to mention that people's attitude is still so good?
"It's just a little bit of the friendship of the landlord, Zampu doesn't need to mind too much." Seeing that the man who strode in sat down opposite him unceremoniously, and Luo Yi, who was also wearing a black cloak, stood behind him expressionlessly, Yang Ju was also surprised, so he had to smile temperedly, and raised his hand to pour a new cup of tea for the ruler Zhudan: "Regarding the matter that Zampu mentioned yesterday, Yang has thought carefully after returning to the room, and today, he can give the answer as promised." ”
Reaching out to hold the cup, the face of the ruler with Zhu Dan was still covered in a shadow, and from Yang Ju's angle, he could only vaguely see the outline of his smooth and sharp jaw: "General Yang is really a cheerful person." In that case, let's get straight to the point. As long as the conditions we said before can be fulfilled, the five thousand gold that the general asked for will be given immediately, which can be regarded as a demonstration of our sincerity. ”
"Zampu's sincerity Yang never doubts, but there are some things that have to be said in advance, so that we can be mentally prepared for each other." Hearing that he was about to give the bid so happily, Yang Ju's eyes couldn't help but flicker slightly. Coughing lightly to hide his gaffe, he put his hand against the tip of his nose, but continued with a smile: "If my memory is correct, Zampu mentioned it before, but in the Jiuqu area?" ”
"Yes." nodded without hesitation, and his voice was as steady as ever, as if he was not moved at all: "What, isn't General Yang going to regret it?" Or is it because I have a disagreement about this place? In fact, this was also expected by him. After all, the geographical location of the Jiuqu area is very critical, and if it were him, he would never easily hand over this throat to others, even if the other party married him. On the battlefield, there is no distinction between relatives and distances, and when necessary, you must be ruthless, and you must not have the slightest bit of a woman's kindness. This Yang Ju is finally a talent who gallops on the battlefield, and with his vision, he will not be unable to see through the cats, so he has already thought of the corresponding rhetoric.
Waving his hand, Yang Ju denied it again and again with a good attitude: "Zampu is talking about this, backsliding is not the style of a man in our army!" It's just," he paused slightly, his eyes fixed on the face of the ruler bead, as if to peek straight into the secret of his heart through the shadow falling from the cloak: "This area of Jiuqu is a bit special, and it is not an ordinary area that can be compared. It is a trivial matter for me to fold into Beijing, but whether His Majesty will agree to this place after seeing this place is not within the scope of my guarantee. "Normally, the royal family divides a piece of land for the married daughter as a county for rest, which is quite natural in dynasties from ancient times to the present. It is precisely because of this that at the beginning, the ruler belt Zhudan only mentioned it to him roughly, and he firmly remembered it. Because the status of Princess Jincheng and her contribution to the Tang Dynasty are beyond doubt, it is easy to fight for some benefits for her in a timely manner, and he only needs to use his pen to listen to the heavens.
Originally, it was a stable deal that only made money and did not lose money, and he was happy to be a middleman, but when the Tubo lion asked for nine songs as if he opened his mouth, the confidence in his heart was not so sufficient. Although that area is not a battleground for soldiers, and there is nothing remarkable in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, once it falls into the hands of Tubo, all the meanings will be completely different. There is nothing wrong with him wanting to seek personal gain for himself, but the premise is that he does not intend to let Tubo take advantage of the sky. If the war between the two countries is rekindled in the future, then he, who is already an insignificant intermediary, will become the most tragic cannon fodder. Yang Ju didn't arrange such a miserable ending for himself, so he naturally had to make his words clear in front.
"So, according to the general's meaning, that means that even if you take my five thousand gold, you may not be able to make Your Majesty agree to this matter?" The thin lips with a cold arc rose slightly, and Zhu Dan stroked the cup with one hand, but there was a coldness in his voice that pierced the muscles and bones: "General Yang, even if our Tubo is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, we are not fools to be manipulated. If you shouldn't just push it, I won't blame you, so why do you have to be so cheap and behave? "It is undoubtedly impossible to shirk the responsibility from him. Since Yang Ju dares to get involved in this matter, don't think that he can get out of the house innocently. He's not a foolish little kid, how can he let the other party enter if he wants, and retreat if he wants to?
"Zampu's words are too serious." Feeling the faint coercion from the opposite seat, Yang Ju was secretly taken aback, but the smile on his face still did not fade: "I just said the worst in advance." If Zampu is willing to change an area, then someone Yang dares to guarantee with his life, and within ten days, he will definitely take it. If not...... "It's not that Jiuqu is really so difficult to take, but for the sake of this place, he must think carefully and think carefully in order to fool the one in the palace, and the unknown risk is too great." He thought about it for most of the night last night, and finally felt that it was inappropriate, so he chose to talk to the ruler with Zhu Dan early in the morning.
