In the evening of the same day.

Lu Heng took Li Mingyu, Wu Zhao, who had just finished settling the accounts, and Li Chengqian, who had been in the courtyard for a day, to the Lu Guogong Mansion.

He is now very familiar with Lao Cheng's mansion, and he doesn't need to report it at all, so he just enters the door.

Seeing that these young people were so unruly, Cheng Yanjin was not unhappy.

In his opinion, Lu Heng is simply his cash cow now!

"Oh, nephew, why are you here now?"

Cheng bit his golden eyebrows and smiled, and the whole person was full of joy.

He pulled Lu Heng over, and said mysteriously:

"As you expected."

"Today, the Tibetan people came to the door to find the old man and wanted to talk about business!"

"Over at the gatehouse, the old man has already said hello, but if anyone looks like a foreigner, stabilize it first, and then find an opportunity to notify the old man and create a chance encounter."

"No, I just scared the Tubo man, I really thought it was a coincidence to bump into the old man at the door!"

Lu Heng raised his eyebrows.

So soon, the Tibetan people came to the door?

He was a little surprised.

"Which one came to you, Lu Dongzan?"

"This time I came to Chang'an, and he was the leader."

"Such an important business, I shouldn't let my subordinates do it."

But Cheng Yanjin shook his head and said:

"No, no, no, it's not him."

"The Tubo people still think that the old man doesn't know their identity and appearance, because when they came to Chang'an to face the saint before, the old man didn't mix in the reception."

"But at that time, it was the old man who used that bomb to stun them."

"The person who came to find the old man is called Non Qinling, the son of Lu Dongzan."

Lu Dongzan's son?

It's not much different from him going out in person.

Lu Heng thought for a while and asked again:

"Is he so foolish?"

Cheng Yanjin laughed:

"It's so foolish, it's so foolish!"

"The old man thought it was Lu Dongzan who came, but it turned out to be a small one."

After a little persuasion, he was almost so moved that he immediately agreed!

"It's a pity, this is a young man, and the team leader is his father, he can't be the master at all, so he has to go back to discuss, I guess I went to his father to ask."

"Tsk, the old one, I guess it's not so stupid."

Lu Heng also laughed.

He waved his hand indifferently and said:

"It's okay!"

"In the end, it was not Lu Dongzan who made the decision, but their young Zampu, Songtsen Gampo."

"Since they are willing to send people all the way to Chang'an, and they still risk being caught by the imperial court and sneaking in privately, they must want to hurry up and facilitate this deal."

"Well, that's how the market is."

"After coming, the Tubo people must be more anxious when they see that Chang'an is grabbing wine."

"It's not us who are in a hurry now, it's them."

"Let's wait!"

………………

Inn.

Lu Dongzan saw his son running back in a hurry, panting, obviously very anxious, but with a smile on his face.

Curious, he asked:

"What's so urgent? You slowly, slowly. ”

On Qinling ran into the room and poured a few glasses of water before relieving himself.

When he went to the Lu Guogong Mansion, he went on foot, and he couldn't ride a horse in Chang'an City, and they were in a hurry to come to the carriage this time, and there was no one.

Therefore, on the way back, in a hurry, the Qinling ran all the way with his feet.

I'm afraid I'll delay things!

After all, Cheng Yanjin's attitude today is a little vague.

To say that he really wanted to get the war horse from Tubo, he was not in a hurry, and let himself come back slowly to discuss.

But it is not right to say that Cheng Yanjin should not do this business.

This Lu Guogong obviously likes horses and wants horses.

On Qinling didn't talk much nonsense, and said all the conditions put forward by Cheng Yanjin today.

Finally, he added his opinion.

"Apa, I think this Lu Guogong is a straightforward person."

"If he really had other plans, how could he take the initiative to propose that there were not enough horses and cattle and sheep to make up for it?"

"That's not reasonable!"

Lu Dongzan didn't speak.

He carefully pondered the conditions put forward by Cheng Yanjin.

Half a day.

He gently rubbed the tea bowl in his hand and said in a low voice:

"It's a bit weird......"

"Let's go and inquire first, what kind of behavior this Lu Guo's fair conduct is like."

"Perhaps, he may be pretending to be stupid, I don't know."

"There is a saying among the Han people that I like very much-"

"Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles."

"If you want to cooperate with him, it's better to get to know him first!"

On Qinling was stunned for a moment:

"Apa, we're not a mission now, where are we going to ask?"

"The people of Honglu Temple must know ......"

"But now, it's impossible to ask people in the court!"

Lu Dongzan smiled disdainfully and shook his head.

"Ask the people of the imperial court?"

"Even if I didn't hide my identity now, I wouldn't have been able to ask them!"

"If you want to know what the reputation of a national prince is, the best way is to go to the people."

"You follow me, just learn more and watch more!"

………………

City.

In addition to the restaurants, there are of course many other shops and vendors.

Lu Dongzan took his son to wander outside, and finally found a family restaurant and sat down.

It's lively but not noisy, which is perfect for him to inquire about things.

After ordering the food as usual, Lu Dongzan looked left and right as if unintentionally.

His gaze fell on a scholar-like figure next to him.

Then, Lu Dongzan changed into a somewhat embarrassed outsider expression, patted the other party, and spoke in a low voice.

"This brother, I want to ask something, I don't know if it's inconvenient."

The scholar was obviously a little unresponsive.

He looked back at Lu Dongzan and saw that although this person was dressed as a Han who followed the customs of the locals, his appearance was obviously not from the Tang Dynasty.

So the scholar said:

"You came to Chang'an to do business, right? Where are the people? ”

Lu Dongzan laughed twice:

"I didn't expect your eyesight to be so good......"

"Let's not hide it, we came from Tuguun."

On Qinling's eyes widened on the side.

His own father actually called himself a Tuyuhun person?

But the scholar was not surprised, nodded and said:

"Oh, there are a lot of people from the Western Regions, but the Tuyuhun people are rare."

"If you have anything to ask, just tell me, I'll tell you what I know."

Scholars, most of them are a little personable, and in the face of humble inquiries from other countries, under the pride of the Heavenly Empire, they are naturally easy to speak.

Seeing this, Lu Dongzan hurriedly said:

"That's ......"

"We want to do business with the caravans of Datang, and we have recently come to Chang'an to find many homes, and one of them feels good."

"It's mainly because I don't know the place well, and I don't know what the wind reviews are."

"Your Excellency, do you know how Lu Guogong, that is, the Cheng family caravan, is usual?"

Hearing that it was Cheng Biting Jin, the scholar laughed.

Then he lowered his voice:

"Caravan, I don't know."

"But Lu Guogong is a bad man, and even His Majesty can't do anything about him."

"He has a very bad temper, and the people of Chang'an know it, even the shop with the Cheng family is horizontal."

"If you want to talk to the Cheng family about business, nothing else matters, just don't care too much about their freewheeling style!"

Lu Dongzan and Yan Qinling looked at each other for a moment.

Immediately, the eyes of both of them showed joy.

The muddy people are good, the muddy people have no heart!
