Chapter 190: Finding the Tribute
The assassins didn't mean to hurt Mo Jingli, and the leader of the assassins said: "Your Royal Highness, you don't have to be nervous, we don't have anything else, we just hope that you will release Qi and Xiao, and we will naturally give you the goods, after all, this batch of goods will not be of much use to us." ”
Mo Jingli agreed, and a code message came from afar: "Qi and Xiao are dead!" Mo Jingli told the Assassins the truth, and the Assassins were very angry, and the leader of the Assassins said, "Since His Royal Highness Qi Wang does not cooperate with us like this, then we don't have to cooperate with you!" After speaking, before Mo Jingli could speak, the assassins pushed the tribute off the cliff.
Mo Jingli was very angry, looking at the assassins, the group of assassins felt that the person who answered was about to arrive, so they quickly fled. When Dong Qing arrived, he saw Mo Jingli and Tian Yao standing on the edge of the cliff, Mo Jingli was very angry, and his face was not very good. Tian Yao comforted Mo Jingli beside him.
Dong Qing walked over and said to Mo Jingli: "Master, the subordinates are late, and the master is not harmed, right?" Mo Jingli took a deep breath and said, "No, hurry up and send someone down there to find tribute!" Dong Qing couldn't react for a while, why was the tribute under the cliff, but Dong Qing didn't ask much. So he led the people to the bottom of the cliff.
Mo Jingli wanted to go down to look for it, but he was afraid that Tian Yao would not be safe on it alone, so he simply took Tian Yao down. The group searched for a long time before they found the goods that had been pushed down by the group of assassins. But only half of it was recovered. Mo Jingli was very angry when he looked at this half of the goods.
Tian Yao hurriedly walked to Mo Jingli's side to comfort Mo Jingli and said, "Don't be angry, isn't this back?" It's half less, but isn't there still half of it? Your injuries are just right, don't get angry anymore! "Mo Jingli didn't take care of Tian Yao, Mo Jingli was angry, so he didn't take care of Tian Yao.
Mo Jingli was very angry, Mo Jingli was angry, he felt that his head was hurting for a while, and Mo Jingli held his head with his hand. Tian Yao saw that Mo Jing was leaving this posture, and a bad premonition came to his heart. Tian Yao hurriedly massaged Mo Jingli's head with her hands.
Dong Qing didn't dare to speak when he looked at such a posture, and waited quietly next to Mo Jingli for Mo Jingli to speak. After an hour, Mo Jingli's headache was much better. Mo Jingli pulled Tian Yao's hand down with his hand and said to Dong Qing: "Dong Qing, carry the goods up the cliff, and then send them to Tubo." ”
The group carried the goods up from under the cliff, and then borrowed a carriage from Laoyuan, and then the group staggered to Tibet. Just arrived in Tibet. The king of Tubo came out and saw that half of the tribute was missing, and he was very sad, after all, it was almost winter, and the food was not enough, so how could the people of Tubo spend the whole winter!
Mo Jingli looked at the Tubo King so sad, he felt very guilty in his heart, and hugged his fist at the Tubo King and said: "This king, I'm sorry for the people of Tubo, I'm sorry for the people who let the people suffer, I'm sorry!" ”
The King of Tubo looked at Mo Jingli and apologized to himself, and felt very embarrassed and said: "Whatever His Royal Highness Qi King said, this matter is not to blame His Royal Highness Qi Wang, His Royal Highness Qi Wang does not have to worry." ”
Mo Jingli asked, "Is the vassal king worried about how to spend this winter?" ”
"That's right! This year's harvest is not very good, so I rely on this batch of goods for a winter, but there is still half of it left, and it is estimated that this winter will not be able to survive! ”
Everyone present was worried. Dong Qing thought for a while and said, "My subordinates have a suggestion that I don't know if to talk about!" Mo Jingli was overjoyed and said, "Oh! Tell me about it! ”
"When my subordinates were young, there was no food in their hometown, and then my subordinates often went to other places to steal sweet potatoes to eat to relieve hunger!"
Although Dong Qing didn't say the main meaning, everyone present already knew what Dong Qing meant. The king of Tubo thought for a while and said, "This is a good way, but there are no sweet potato seeds in Tibet, so how to grow sweet potatoes?" Mo Jingli thought for a while and said, "This king can send someone to send it to you!" What do you think? ”
The king of Tubo said shyly: "How embarrassing is this? Your princess taught us to grow herbs, and you taught us to grow sweet potatoes, which is embarrassing! ”
Mo Jingli smiled and said, "What is this?" It's all for the sake of the people, and this winter is the most important, don't worry too much about the king of Tubo! ”
The king of Tubo laughed and said, "Then the king is respectful, it is better to obey his fate!" The King of Tubo and Mo Jingli looked at each other and smiled. Tian Yao pulled Mo Jingli's sleeve and said, "That, Mo Jingli, can you send the seeds of the herb and the seedlings of the sweet potato together?" Mo Jingli thought for a while and said, "Mmmm! ”
Mo Jingli ordered his subordinates to send these things over as soon as possible, and there should be no delay on the way. Mo Jingli's subordinates were ordered to go down. When the king of Tubo saw that the grain for this winter had been solved, the king of Tubo was very grateful to Mo Jingli and Tian Yao, and the king of Tubo said to Mo Jingli and Tian Yao: "If the two of you don't dislike it, stay in Tubo for a few more days, and let this king do his landlord's friendship!" ”
"The king of Tubo is polite, then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate!" After speaking, he took Tian Yao to the room he had prepared before. The king of Tubo hurriedly ordered the kitchen to cook something delicious, and then ordered his subordinates to serve the two great benefactors well. The king of Tibet ordered the guards to count the goods and put them in the storehouse.
The king of Tubo did not bother Mo Jingli and Tian Yao, and the king of Tubo called his henchmen to discuss matters. And so the time passed. As soon as Mo Jingli pulled Tian Yao into the room, he hurriedly lay on the bed, Tian Yao lay motionless, "Mo Jingli, why are you injured?"
Mo Jingli didn't want to deal with Tian Yao at first, but Tian Yao kept asking this question again, and Mo Jingli was afraid that Tian Yao would be cranky. Mo Jingli said, "I didn't see who it was." And then it was unconscious, sorry for worrying you. Tian Yao said: "Don't leave me alone in the future!" You don't know how scared I am, I'm scared of losing you, I'm scared of much, much! ”
Mo Jingli touched Tian Yao's head and said, "Never again, I won't let you worry anymore, okay?" Tian Yao nodded and said, "Is your wound still painful?" Mo Jingli said: "It doesn't hurt, it's almost fine." Tian Yao didn't believe it, so she had to insist on checking Mo Jingli's wounds.
Mo Jingli was helpless, so he had to let Tian Yao take a look. Tian Yao stroked the wound and cried, "Don't scare me like this in the future, okay?" Mo Jingli said: "Uh-huh! After Mo Jingli finished speaking, he helped Tian Yao wipe her tears and said, "Don't cry, I'll be distressed!" ”
Dong Qing also agreed with Tian Yao's proposal, and secretly thought in his heart, a woman with such intelligence worthy of being the master, just as he was thinking, he heard the guards calling him, saying that the master was looking for him, in this special period, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately went to find Mo Jingli.
Mo Jingli on the side was having a headache on how to speed up the ripening of these fruits, after all, the tribute contributed to Tubo should not be neglected, after all, they were guests: "Dong Qing, you go back to Beijing first to tell what happened here, the sooner the better, and when I deal with it here, I will also return to Beijing." Dong Qing received the order and looked respectful: "Yes."
Then Mo Jingli entrusted some other things, Dong Qing hurried back to the capital, Tian Yao saw that he couldn't help much, so he made some snacks for Mo Jingli, in order to reach a consensus with the vassal king Mu, he has not closed his eyes for a day and a night, since the vassal king learned that the goods were lost, he has refused to talk, just want to see the goods talking about the alliance.
"This is your favorite snack, eat as much as you want, your body first." Tian Yao put the dim sum on the table and began to rub his shoulders for Mo Jingli.
When the man who was sitting and contemplating saw Tian Yao's arrival, his sad face finally relaxed, and he laughed softly: "This is not difficult for me, huh?" Mo Jingli's hand dragged Tian Yao to her lap, causing her to blush for a while.
"Thank you for being by my side without hesitation." Mo Jingli hugged Tian Yao tightly, and Tian Yao hugged back: "I'm relieved to see you like this, there will always be a way......"
"I've found a way to get the vassal king Mu to come to an agreement with me, wait for me." Mo Jing reluctantly let go of his warm embrace and got up to find the vassal king Mu.
Inside, the atmosphere was very cold. "Why lie to me that the tribute is complete?" The vassal king Mu was a little angry and questioned, he never liked to deceive, but he didn't dare to be angry. Mo Jingli had already expected this reaction from the person in front of him, and explained unhurriedly: "Vassal King, how offended, if I don't say so, you will meet me, I have a way to get the best of both worlds here, I wonder if I can listen to it?"
The vassal king Mu had to sit down, wanting to hear this method, after all, he was in a dilemma now without tribute, Mo Jingli continued: "Although we have half of the tribute, but the remaining half of us are pure green, and Tubo has never seen a tribute, as compensation for this emergency, of course, it will never delay the time of this tribute."
When the vassal king Mu heard that he had never seen it, his eyes immediately lit up, after all, who doesn't love treasures, green food requires a lot of labor and technology, obviously his own technology is not mature, besides, such a suitable one is also his own country, thinking of this, and being able to pay tribute on time, it is indeed a way to get the best of both worlds, so he immediately agreed to Mo Jingli's method.
"Then we will return to Beijing on the same day, thank you to the vassal king." Mo Jingli bowed his hand politely, let the vassal king rest early and went out, looked up and saw the stars in the night sky, and for a moment he missed Tian Yao so much, she had suffered so much with her these days, and when she returned to Beijing, she must take good care of her and make up for all the lost meat.
When he returned to Beijing, he didn't dare to delay going to the court, and found that the matter of Qixiao was solved by Mo Yufei, so he didn't dare to question it in the court, so he listened to this matter, and finally waited until the next court.
