"Traveled thousands of miles from Tubo to Chang'an, and walked for half a year, right? Just went back in disgrace? ”

Lu Dongzan stared at the person in front of him, as if he wanted to see the other party through. But after watching it for a long time, I couldn't see what the other party was from, an ordinary businessman dressed up?

"Who is Your Excellency? Let's get straight to the point, we're leaving soon, and there's not much time to waste. ”

The other party didn't want to reveal his identity, so he calmly poured a cup of tea for Lu Dongzan, "I'm a businessman, I invited Xiangguo here today, I have a deal I want to discuss." ”

Buying and selling?

Lu Dong praised it and left, and said in his heart that I am the prime minister of Tubo, not a copper-smelling businessman, you are looking for me to discuss business? Neurotic, right? That is, in Chang'an, if this is in Tibet, you have already been chopped up and fed to the dogs.

"Xiangguo is slow, what if it can help you and your relatives in business?" The man stopped Lu Dongzan.

Lu Dongzan really stood still, turned around and looked again, "Can you make peace?" Hehe? A businessman? ”

The tone was full of contempt, but the other party was not angry, and stretched out two fingers, "That's right, it's just a businessman and a news businessman." When I came to Xiangguo today, there are two pieces of news that you will definitely buy. ”

Message merchants?

Lu Dongzan was interested, slowly walked back to the tea table and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "How can you be sure that I will definitely buy it?" Message? Tubo also has a secret pile in Datang, what news can't we get? ”

The man smiled, sat down for tea, and said it was okay to talk.

"Then I'll reveal a little bit first, and make a friend."

"This first thing should be what Xiangguo and Tubo are most interested in: in addition to Princess Changle in the Tang Dynasty, there are actually other princesses of the right age. And compared to Princess Changle, it is easier to marry and kiss. ”

Well?

When Lu Dongzan heard this, he immediately became alert, and he remembered the last person who recommended Princess Changle to him, and that person clearly had bad intentions. Now it's good, we're about to leave, and there's another one to recommend the princess to us? It can't be a gang, right? Do you think we weren't bad enough?

"No need, we've been embarrassed enough this time, and we'll talk about it later."

The man persuaded: "Xiangguo doesn't believe it? Never mind. In fact, does Tubo really care which princess it is? With the princess in the past, the dowry is what you want the most, right? ”

Lu Dongzan got up and refused again, "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"Hehe, if the princess mentioned below can marry Tubo, her dowry may not be less than that of Princess Changle. Oh, and by the way, if you don't like it, you're probably going to be the first to get there, and I've heard that there are other people from other countries who are approaching. It doesn't matter, since Xiangguo doesn't like it, then this business is just a matter of developing in a few years in the evening, a trivial matter. ”

The man's words pulled Lu Dongzan back to the tea table.

"Are you sure that this princess will definitely be able to marry us in Tibet?" Lu Dongzan was moved.

The other party shook his head: "I am just a news businessman, who can guarantee to provide the most comprehensive and fastest news, as for whether you can grasp the opportunity, it depends on your means." ”

Lu Dongzan hesitated, he was measuring whether it was worth spending money.

The man continued to arch the fire and said: "Of course, if Xiangguo doesn't dislike it and needs to ask someone to help secretly, then it's no problem, there is nothing in this world that can't be done with money." ”

Lu Dongzan smiled, "It seems that you are not a pure businessman. Make an offer. ”

The man stretched out a finger, "News, ask someone for help, a total of 10,000 taels of silver." ”

Ten thousand taels?

Lu Dongzan chuckled in his heart, it's so expensive!

"10,000 taels, can it be done?"

"Can't!"

"Can't? So what am I going to do with your help? Lu Dongzan was a little dissatisfied.

The man said seriously: "Xiangguo, there is nothing in the world that can be packaged. We ask someone to help you, we can solve a lot of trouble for you, spend money to increase the odds of winning, and even cooperate to promote a great cause is not impossible. ”

"This business not only depends on the strength of gold and silver, but also sometimes on fate, of course, the most important thing is to fight for eyesight."

"If 10,000 taels is too expensive, no problem, the message costs 1,000 taels, and the right to help should not be mentioned."

Lu Dongzan looked at the other party again, and said in his heart that this is really a businessman, which is obviously to provoke me.

Without answering, Lu Dongzan asked about another news, "Your Excellency said that there are two pieces of news just now, what is the other one?" ”

The man laughed, "Xiangguo, if you are a businessman, you must be a top businessman. Want to get two messages from me without spending any money? ”

"With Xiangguo's ability, if I tell you a little, you go back to the dark pile and investigate carefully, I'm afraid you won't have to spend money at all."

Lu Dongzan also laughed.

After a moment of silence, he gritted his teeth: "Okay, ten thousand taels, the news just now, I want it." ”

As if he had expected it, the other party took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it over, Lu Dongzan took it, opened it directly and looked at it, and was full of surprise after reading it, "Don't you worry that I took the news and won't give you money?" ”

The man scolded shamelessly, why didn't you ask when you got the letter? Now that you've finished reading it, ask me? Why, do you really want to test if you can repay the debt?

Holding back the feeling of gagging, the merchant smiled: "Xiangguo will not." Business, didn't believe in any business? If you make a friend, if you can't do it, don't be an enemy, right? ”

Neither of them is a good person, and they are testing each other openly and secretly.

Lu Dongzan also scolded his mother in his heart, is this especially trying to blackmail me? How? If I don't give money, you still want to keep me? You Tang Emperors don't dare to ......

Wait a minute......

Understood, what does he mean that when the time comes, he will come in reverse and stop us from making peace?

Lu Dongzan suddenly realized.

So he changed his face, "Isn't it just 10,000 taels of silver, we are very poor in Tibet, but we can still get 10,000." Say a place, and then let people send it. ”

After speaking, he stood up, "Happy cooperation, farewell." ”

"Xiangguo, the second news is about Hou Xiaorui, the champion of the Tang Dynasty, he is going to open a academy to teach him that skill, aren't you interested?" The merchant shouted.

What the hell am I ......

Lu Dongzan stopped again.

He turned around angrily and asked, "Make an offer." ”

"The old price, a simple message of 1,000 taels, if you ask someone to help with the errand, 10,000 taels. This matter is different from being kind, sending a student to the academy is relatively simple, and there is about ninety percent certainty. The man pulled out the envelope and a note with the address on it.

Lu Dongzan didn't open it in person this time, but took the envelope and the note, turned around and left directly, he was afraid that if he stayed a little longer, his Tubo family would be hollowed out.

"Twenty thousand taels will be delivered tomorrow."

The first thing he did when he returned to Honglu Temple, Lu Dongzan was to send someone to contact the leader of the dark pile in Tubo, in addition to investigating the authenticity of the two pieces of news, but also to investigate what the source of the news merchant was?
