Chapter 386: Instigation
Wang Qingyun was stunned again, he couldn't believe his ears, he thought that Li Yong and Cheng Zhihei were going to the Wa Kingdom under the banner of going to the Wa Kingdom, but in fact, they were going to find the Spice Island, but he didn't expect Cheng Chusi to really go to the Wa Kingdom, Wang Qingyun was thin-skinned after all, thinking that he had secretly scolded Li Yong all the way just now, he couldn't help but blush, but what shocked him even more was the source of these dozens of cars of spices, it turned out to be because Cheng Chuhei's ship was blown to a small island, and then the island was full of spices, who would have thought? Who would dare to think? This is crazy, everyone used to hear Li Yong say that there are spice islands overseas, and they would be suspicious, but now who still doesn't believe it? And it's just a small island that is full of spices, an island! How many boatloads of spices can you get! You can imagine how big the impact of dozens of truckloads of spices is, at this moment, Wang Qingyun's heart was pounding, and he couldn't wait to immediately send dozens of boats out to find the spice island and pull dozens of boats of spices back, at the same time, he also knew that since he thought so, then others would definitely think the same way, Wang Qingyun jumped off the horse and strode in.
"Wang Jiu'er! Wang Jiu'er! β
Wang Qingyun shouted excitedly, and Wang Jiu'er walked down from the small building and said speechlessly.
"What the hell are you calling when you come back?"
"Have you heard of it? It's crazy out there. β
Wang Qingyun shouted, and Wang Jiu'er asked a little lazily.
"What's going on out there?"
"The people from the Huating Hou Mansion brought back dozens of carts of spices."
Wang Qingyun exclaimed excitedly, and Wang Jiu'er also showed a hint of surprise on her face.
"Dozens of carts of spices? Really? β
Wang Qingyun nodded very affirmatively.
"Really, of course it's true, I've inquired and I'm pretty sure it's true."
Wang Jiu'er's face had returned to calm, and she bowed slightly.
"Oh!"
Wang Qingyun is about to go crazy, what do you mean? Dozens of wagons of spices! Why did you just let out a calm sigh?
"Aren't you surprised?"
Wang Qingyun asked.
Wang Jiu'er said calmly.
"It's a little bit of a surprise."
Wang Qingyun was speechless and crazy.
"That's dozens of carts of spices! Are you just a little surprised? β
"Didn't Li Yong say that there are spice islands overseas, and they are full of spices, and dozens of truckloads of spices are pulled back?"
Wang Jiu'er replied as a matter of course, she was convinced of Li Yong's words.
"Who would have thought that Li Yong knew that there were spice islands overseas, but he was not in a hurry to find them?"
Wang Qingyun was speechless.
"Do you know he didn't look for it?"
Wang Jiu'er said, Wang Qingyun shook his head.
"No, no, sister, you're wrong, he didn't look for it at all, these dozens of carts of spices were an accident, when Cheng Chuhei went to the country of Wa and returned, he was blown to a spice island by a hurricane, not a spice island that he deliberately went to find, sister, do you know what this means? This means that there really are spice islands overseas, and there are quite a few. β
As he spoke, Wang Qingyun became excited, his face turned red with excitement, and his eyes lit up.
"Didn't Li Yong say this a long time ago?"
Wang Jiu'er glanced at Wang Qingyun, you are an idiot, Li Yong has said it, and he has already pulled it back once, do you understand now? Yes, Li Yong said it before, and he brought back a batch, but you believe it when he says it? Li Yong is insidious and cunning, who knows if what he said is true or false? But Wang Qingyun didn't refute, because Wang Jiu'er had been poured ecstasy soup by Li Yong, Wang Qingyun continued.
"This time, Li Yong's family pulled dozens of carts of spices, which has caused a sensation, and it is foreseeable that all major families will definitely rush to the sea to find spice islands, and we can't be left behind!"
Wang Jiu'er nodded and replied.
"That's right, the major families have not been in a hurry all along, but now that they see Li Yong pulling back dozens of carts of spices, it must be as urgent as burning their butts."
Wang Qingyun rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
"Sister! You're my good sister! β
"Wang Qingyun, you have something to say, don't be so disgusting."
Wang Jiu'er frowned slightly and said, how can it be called disgusting? If it weren't for the sake of dozens of carts of spices, Wang Qingyun would have to have a good fight with Wang Jiu'er, obviously Yushu was a noble son in the wind, and he was said to be disgusting, which was simply unbearable, but when he thought of the overseas spice island, Wang Qingyun endured it and coughed dryly.
"Sister! Dozens of carts of spices! It must be spectacular, aren't you curious? β
Wang Jiu'er knows this half-brother very well, so she naturally understands what he thinks, Wang Jiu'er smiled and said.
"What's there to be curious about? Haven't I seen spices? β
Wang Qingyun instigated.
"Have you seen dozens of truckloads of spices?"
Wang Jiu'er said with a smile.
"I haven't seen it, but I know that dozens of truckloads of spices are piled together, which can give people a headache, so it's better not to look at it!"
Is that just a faΓ§ade, the real purpose is to see those dozens of carts of spices? Wang Qingyun was speechless, when did her sister become so unenlightened? Wang Jiu'er snorted and laughed.
"My silly brother, I don't know what you're up to? Spice Island, how precious, do you think Li Yong will tell you the location of Spice Island? β
Wang Qingyun said with a smile.
"If I were to ask, of course he wouldn't tell me, but if you asked, not necessarily. He definitely knows more than one spice island, so, most likely, he'll tell you one. β
Wang Jiu'er couldn't help but be silent when she heard this, she knew in her heart that what Wang Qingyun said was true, if she asked, Li Yong would probably really tell her, which made her feel happy in her heart, but she couldn't help but want to ask Li Yong, because once Li Yong told her, then her relationship with Li Yong would be gone.
"Don't go!"
After Wang Jiu'er finished speaking, she decisively turned around and went upstairs.
"Hey~ Sister, sister, don't go! Listen to me! β
Wang Qingyun said urgently, seeing that his sister was going upstairs directly, he was very anxious, and he couldn't keep up.
"Sister, that's Spice Island! That's a cornucopia of endless crops, just like crops in the field, there is a crop every year, and if there is a spice island, it may be passed on to future generations! β
Wang Qingyun said continuously, as he spoke, his own saliva was about to flow down, Wang Jiu'er walked on the stairs and suddenly looked back, suddenly looked back, and smiled.
"Brother, it's a girl's family!"
Wang Qingyun stroked his forehead, at this time, you remembered that you were a girl, but Wang Qingyun was not discouraged, looking at Wang Jiu'er's continued steps, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and hurriedly said.
"Sister, let's go to Li Yong to talk about cooperation!"
Wang Jiu'er paused and slowly turned back.
"Cooperation?"
Wang Qingyun nodded again and again.
"Yes, let's talk about cooperation."
Wang Jiu'er asked.
"What kind of cooperation are we talking about?"
Seeing that he had successfully attracted his sister's attention, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled.
"We can sum it up, in fact, I kept thinking when I was on the road, since Li Yong knew that there were spice islands overseas, why didn't he send a fleet out to find it? I think it's because Li Yong only has a foundation in Chang'an, he has no foundation in the south, he has no ship, and there are no people, not only Li Yong, the Tang Dynasty started in Taiyuan, and most of the upstarts in the DPRK are northerners, they all lack roots in the south, and we are different, we are a family, we not only run in the north, we also have roots in the south. β
Wang Jiu'er thought about it and smiled.
"That makes sense, yes, you impressed me today!"
Wang Qingyun said with a smile.
"So let's go and explore Li Yong's mind and see if he has any intention of cooperating."
"Okay, you wait for me to prepare."
Wang Jiu'er went upstairs, just when Wang Qingyun and Wang Jiu'er were discussing, many people in Chang'an City got the exact news, and the impact of dozens of cars of spices was too great, because no one had ever seen dozens of cars of spices at once, and no one had even linked dozens of cars of spices before, so when I suddenly heard that Li Yong's house had pulled back dozens of cars of spices, even if the noble family, even the children of the family, the first reaction was unbelievable, but this was true, not just true, Or Cheng Chuhei casually ran into a small island full of spices, and then pulled a boatload of spices back, overseas is really full of wealth! In the courtyard of the Cui family in Chang'an, Cui Guangsheng sat there peacefully, looking calm as water, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyes also flashed with fanatical light, and the fanaticism on the faces of several Cui family disciples standing next to him was undisguised, or could not be concealed at all.
"Second uncle, we also have to build a ship and go to sea to find the spice island."
"Do you still need to build a ship? It's not like we don't have a ship, we just send someone to the sea. β
"Yes, go directly to the sea to find the spice island, anyway, there is no owner on the island in the sea, whoever finds it will be whom!"
"Even if Li Yong knew the location of Spice Island in advance? We've found it, and that's ours. β
Hearing the noisy voices of his nephews and nephews, Cui Guangsheng waved his hand and said.
"Of course, you have to go to sea, but you can't be in a hurry, you have to follow the steps."
When is this still in order? Several of the Cui family's children and nephews almost didn't remember to jump their feet.
"Dad, when has this been? Don't worry, but the spice island has been found by others, so we don't even have to drink the soup! β
"Yes, yes, Dad, think twice!"
"Second uncle, think twice! We have to send someone south now, and we can't delay any longer!" β
Cui Guangsheng waved his hand and reprimanded.
"You hairy boys are too impatient, you don't know a truth, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, do you know the general direction of Spice Island? Although the charts are no longer a secret, they are very sketchy and do not indicate where the Spice Island is. β
"Where can I find the sea? Of course, as long as we are willing to work hard to find it, the problem is that once our fleet goes in the wrong direction and other fleets go in the right direction, then we will not regret it! β
That's true, but I'm afraid I won't even have to drink the soup if I keep waiting.
"Dad, then it's not a way for us to keep waiting!"
Cui Guangsheng said with a smile.
"The most important thing now is shipbuilding! In the past, we have always been suspicious of overseas spice islands, but now that there are indeed spice islands overseas, why hasn't Li Yong sent a fleet to the sea to find spice islands? β
The children of the Cui family looked puzzled, yes, why? Cui Guangsheng groaned.
"Because he doesn't have a ship! If there are no sea boats, the boats in the river can't go to the sea, so the most important thing for us is to build ships and build them first. β
"Fortunately, our Cui family has a foundation in the south, and has already sent people south to build ships."
"Dad, what about after the shipbuilding?"
Cui Guangsheng said with a smile.
"Just wait for Li Yong's ship to go to sea, and then follow behind his ship."
The children of the Cui family were slightly stunned and then suddenly excited, damn it! Shameless! No, he's wise! Cui Guangsheng groaned.
"The few people who went to sea with Cheng Cheng didn't know whether they were strict or not, and they didn't know whether they were loyal to Li Yongzhong."
Several children of the Cui family suddenly moved in their hearts, yes, if you can buy Li Yong's people, won't everything be solved? Because of these dozens of carts of spices, Chang'an City has become an undercurrent, and Li Yong and Li Lizhen came to Chang'an City, went to Zhao Guogong's Mansion, Cheng Biting Jin They all got spices, the eldest grandson Wuji is the uncle of Princess Changle, naturally can't favor one over the other, just when Li Yong and Princess Changle went to Zhao Guogong's mansion, Wu Cao entered Chang'an City in a carriage, she went to Yingguo Mansion, this is the first time she returned to Yingguo Mansion after she married Li Yong, even if she and her sister are just Li Yong's concubines, Li Lizhi They are also very good to their sisters, Li Yong didn't treat them as concubines, but handed over a lot of things to herself, so she was familiar and unfamiliar here, the carriage stopped in front of the Yingguo Mansion, Wu Cao lifted the curtain and looked outside, the gloom in his heart spontaneously appeared, the car and horses were sparse in front of the door, as if even the stone lion in front of the gate had lost its mighty momentum, as if even the pedestrians on this street were hiding from the Guogong Mansion, is this still the original Yingguo Mansion? Although Ying Guogong was not the top wealthy family in Chang'an, he was also the home of the founding nobles! In just over a year, it has been reduced to this, is this still a national mansion? There is only a name left, and even the majesty of the Guogong Mansion is gone, although Wu has no family affection for the Wu Yuanqing brothers, but seeing the Yingguo Mansion snubbed here, he still can't help but be gloomy, and I don't know if my father will be uneasy under Jiuquan, and the family is not good! The concierge of Yingguo Mansion saw that there was a carriage outside, and he greeted him with a whoosh, so excited! Finally come, no longer come to them are afraid that they will not be unemployed, since the death of the old man, the eldest prince has not been able to inherit the title, the Guogong Mansion has become more and more cold, even if the eldest prince finally inherited the title, but still has not changed, but more and more cold, finally ten days and half a month no one came, as if the entire Chang'an noble family and Ying Guogong have drawn a clear line, because the entire Chang'an only Ying Guogong is just a lonely Ying Guogong, not a single official name, not even a scattered official name, In the eyes of the officials of the people of Chang'an, the holy family of the Duke of Ying has been lost, as if the building is about to fall, and there is no one who has the ability to turn the tide, the Duke of Ying has fallen, and it will become more and more defeated, and others can only draw a clear line except for sighing.
