The king of Zhenchu followed Liang Run's caravan to Wusun smoothly. This was his first time in Wusun, and it was also his first time in the Western Regions. He was attracted by the scenery and customs of Wusun, which were different from those of the Central Plains. Although Wusun is not as prosperous as the Great Zhou, it is also very lively.

On the streets of Wusun, you can see many Great Zhou people wearing Central Plains costumes, and you can also hear Wusun people speaking fluent Great Zhou dialect, which makes people feel more cordial. Many years ago, Wusun submitted to the Great Zhou and had close contacts with the Great Zhou. Over the years, many Great Zhou people have come to Wusun to do business and intermarry with the local people of Wusun and have children. Of course, there are also many Wusun people who go to many places in the Great Zhou to do business, and also marry and have children with the local Great Zhou people.

Nowadays, there are many Great Zhou people living in Wusun, and they get along very harmoniously with the local people of Wusun. Here, everyone is like a family, and no one hates anyone.

Liang Run's business in Wusun is very large, and Liang Kee Trading House is very famous in Wusun, and it is also very famous in other countries in the Western Regions. It can be said that the business under Liang Kee Trading House is all over the countries of the Western Regions.

Although the king of Chu always knew that Zhao Yao's second uncle was very good at business, he didn't expect Liang Run's business to be so big in Wusun.

Liang Run did not hide it from the King of Chu either, telling him that Zhao Yao's business was all over the Western Regions. When the King of Chu heard this, he was naturally very surprised in his heart. Liang Run also told him that these businesses were basically Zhao Yao's ideas. At the beginning, when Wusun had just been in contact with Da Zhou, Zhao Yao sent him to Wusun to do business and seize the opportunity.

He also told the king of Chu in detail what kind of business they had done in the Western Regions. Before coming to the north, Zhao Yao told Liang Run that if the king of Chu was surprised by their business, he should not hide it from the king of Chu and tell him all about their business in the Western Regions. Liang Run felt that this was not appropriate, but Zhao Yao said that even if they didn't tell him, the king of Chu would be suspicious. Instead of making the king of Chu suspicious, it is better to tell him frankly.

The King of Chu only knew that Zhao Yao was very good at doing things, but he didn't know that his tenth brother was actually proficient in business. Even if it was the trade conference some time ago, he thought it was Liang Run's idea, but he didn't expect it to be Zhao Yao's own idea.

"The tenth brother asked you to tell me."

Liang Run was not surprised at all when King Chu guessed this: "Your Highness told me that if His Royal Highness the King of Chu is curious, he will tell you as it is." ”

Seeing that Zhao Yao trusted him so much, King Chu was naturally moved in his heart.

"Actually, there's no need to tell me so much detail."

"Your Highness said, you are not an outsider, there is no need to hide it from you." Liang Run said again, "Actually, His Highness did business in the Western Regions, firstly, to make money, and secondly, to monitor every move of the countries in the Western Regions, as well as the movements of the Xiongnu. ”

After hearing this, the king of Chu said with a shocked face: "You still collect intelligence? ”

"Yes, we have been collecting intelligence from the countries of the Western Regions and the Xiongnu tribes for all these years." Liang Run said, "His Royal Highness said that the Xiongnu have always been eyeing the Central Plains, and they often want to coerce the countries of the Western Regions to help him invade the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he has to keep an eye on the countries of the Western Regions and the Xiongnu." In this way, once there is a stir in the Huns, we can know immediately. ”

King Chu was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that the tenth brother was not only proficient in business, but also good at gathering intelligence.

"So once there was a movement in the Xiongnu over the years, it was the tenth brother who told his father?"

"Some are, some don't." Zhao Yao trusted the King of Chu, and Liang Run also believed in him. Over the years, the King of Chu has taken care of Zhao Yao, and Liang Run has seen it in his eyes. To the king of Chu, he was very grateful and respectful. "Actually, there are spies in the imperial court here."

King Chu sighed: "I didn't expect the tenth brother to be so thoughtful and make such careful arrangements. In this respect, I am inferior to him. ”

"Your Highness, have you forgotten that you sent people to the countries of the Western Regions to teach the way of Confucius and Mencius, in addition to educating the people of the Western Regions, isn't it also to supervise the movements of the countries of the Western Regions and the tribes of the Xiongnu." In recent years, more and more scholars from the Great Zhou Dynasty have come to the Western Regions to teach, and more and more people from the Western Regions have learned the ways of Confucius and Mencius. Over the years, the people of the Western Regions have been well educated, and they have learned a lot of etiquette, righteousness and shame.

The king of Chu did not deny it: "Yes." Although the Li family sent many people to teach in the Western Regions, the King of Chu did not ask them to inquire about Liang Run's business in the Western Regions, so he did not know that Zhao Yao's business was all over the Western Regions.

"Over the years, thanks to you for sending so many people to teach in the Western Regions, let the people of the Western Regions know etiquette, righteousness and honesty." The people of the Western Regions were attracted by the culture of the Central Plains, and in addition to learning the ways of Confucius and Mencius, they also liked to pursue everything in the Great Zhou. "In a few years, the people of all the countries in the Western Regions will be indoctrinated."

King Chu chuckled and said, "This is a good thing. "Over the years, many people from the Western Regions have gone to the Central Plains to study, and many of them have excellent grades and have been admitted to Taixue and become students of Taixue. The people from the Western Regions who were admitted to Taixue were also eligible to participate in the imperial examination. However, there are few people from the Western Regions who can pass the imperial examination. There are only one or two people from the Western Regions who can be promoted to become officials in the examination. These two have small official positions, but they are very happy.

For them, it is a blessing to be able to stay in Da Zhou. Now he can be an official in Da Zhou and become half of Da Zhou, which is simply ...... In the words of the Great Zhou people, their ancestral tombs are smoking.

"Your Highness, do you plan to rest for two days before returning to Beijing, or do you want to leave early tomorrow morning to return to Beijing?" Liang Run knew that the king of Chu was in a hurry and couldn't stay in Wusun for a long time.

The king of Chu counted the time, "I will leave in two days." ”

"Then you have a good rest here for the past two days, and by the way, visit Wusun and taste the food here." Liang Run said, and enthusiastically recommended the delicious, delicious, and fun here to the King of Chu. After recommending, he also intimately arranged for someone to take King Chu to go shopping and eat delicious food.

Although he had been on the road for some time, the king of Chu was not tired. After drinking tea, I took people out shopping. He still wears the same ordinary human skin mask on his face, so he can go shopping with confidence and boldness without worrying about being recognized.

In the evening, the king of Chu did not let anyone accompany him, and went to a local academy alone to find someone. The person he came to find was named Li Ruiyang, the righteous son of the Li family. The main purpose of his coming to Wusun to teach was to monitor the countries of the Western Regions and the Xiongnu tribes, and second, to find out the news of the Southern Wei people.

All countries in the Western Regions have Southern Wei people, and they do a lot of business.

After meeting the queen of Chu, Li Ruiyang reported to him the news he had heard during this period of time: "The Southern Wei people are looking for an aphrodisiac and a child pill. ”

"Aphrodisiacs? Giving birth to Dan? The King of Chu asked in surprise, "What are they looking for these two things?" ”

"It should be for His Royal Highness King Wei."

"To the King of Wei?" The King of Chu quickly reacted, "Because the King of Wei has no heirs? ”

Li Ruiyang: "It seems to be because of this." ”

The king of Chu asked, "Did you find it?" ”

"Found it." Li Ruiyang said, "There is an aphrodisiac in Dawan in the Western Regions, which is colorless and tasteless, and the effect is very powerful, whether it is eaten by people or animals, I just want to do that, and I heard that it can control seven people in one night." After speaking, Li Ruiyang's expression was a little embarrassed.

When the King of Chu heard this, his expression was as usual, without the slightest embarrassment, "What about Shengzi Dan?" ”

"I also found it, it's from the Western Regions, as long as a woman eats it, she can definitely give birth to a son." Li Ruiyang continued to report, "Some time ago, the Southern Wei people had sent a few beauties to the Wei Palace, and they all took the Shengzi Pill, and now they are waiting for the King of Wei to take aphrodisiacs. ”

The King of Chu hooked the corners of his mouth and sneered mockingly: "In order to let the King of Wei give birth to a son with the blood of the Southern Wei people, the Southern Wei people really took great pains. ”

Princess Wei has not been pregnant for a long time, on the one hand, the number of times that King Wei has intercourse with her is not much, and on the other hand, she has long been unable to conceive. Before she married the King of Wei, the Southern Wei people drugged her.

It is impossible for the Southern Wei people to let the princess of Wei give birth to a son for the king of Wei. They felt that the son of the King of Wei must be born by a woman of the Southern Wei Dynasty, so that the blood of the Southern Wei people in the son of the prince could be pure enough.

"The Southern Wei people also sent beauties to many officials' mansions, and these beauties were carefully trained and very pleasing to the officials."

"It's a common trick they use." There were also a few Southern Wei people in the palace of the king of Chu, including young and beautiful maids, young and strong guards, and rough envoys. The king of Chu did not drive them away, and left them in the mansion in order to monitor and use them. "Did they send people to the Han Palace?"

"There is no one here in the Western Regions, but if there is a delivery in other places, my subordinates don't know."

The king of Chu thought that the king of Wei would not harm Zhao Yao, and he was a lot more relieved.

"I asked you to investigate the matter of the third princess, what did you find?"

"Your Highness, it is estimated that because you investigated the three princesses before and aroused their vigilance, most of the spies we sent in the past two days have been discovered by them." Needless to say, what happened to the spies when they were discovered.

"Don't send someone to check on the matter of the third princess for the time being, wait for a while." I didn't expect the third princess and King Han to be so vigilant. "What about the other tribes of the Huns?"

"There was no movement."

"That's good." It seems that the battle against the Xiongnu some time ago made the Huns afraid and did not dare to invade the Great Zhou again.

"By the way, Your Highness, in addition to looking for aphrodisiacs and birth pills, the people of the Southern Wei Dynasty also got forbidden drugs from the Da Yue clan."

Hearing the forbidden medicine, King Chu's face immediately became stern, and he hurriedly asked, "What forbidden medicine?" ”

"I haven't found it for the time being, and my subordinates guess that it should be poison." Li Ruiyang has been in Wusun for a few years, and he has some understanding of the situation in the countries of the Western Regions, "Your Highness, do you know that the Dayue clan is good at making poisons, and many poisons are incurable. ”

The king of Chu knew in his heart what the Southern Wei people were doing with the forbidden drugs of the Da Yue clan, and one of the purposes was to poison him.

"Find out what the forbidden drug is."

"Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will definitely inquire clearly." Li Ruiyang also knew in his heart that the Southern Wei people made the forbidden drugs of the Dayue clan in order to deal with the king of Chu. "Your Highness, although most of the poisons of the Otsutsuki Clan are incurable, these poisons can be alleviated, so that people will not be poisoned to death in the end."

"What medicine can alleviate these poisons?"

"My subordinates heard that Tibetan orchids can be alleviated, but Tibetan orchids are too precious, and my subordinates have been unable to buy them at a high price." Li Ruiyang also entrusted a lot of connections to buy, but so far there is no news of hidden orchids. "Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will continue to inquire."

"Tibetan orchids?" The King of Chu asked with a somewhat strange expression, "Are you sure it's a Tibetan orchid?" ”

Li Ruiyang nodded and said, "My subordinates are sure." ”

King Chu suddenly smiled and said, "Then you don't have to look for it." ”

Li Ruiyang asked puzzledly, "Your Highness, why is this?" ”

"I've eaten Tibetan orchids."

Li Ruiyang exclaimed: "Have you eaten it? Where did you eat? ”

King Chu smiled and said: "A few years ago, the tenth brother gave me a bottle of tonic medicine, and he named it Shiquan Great Tonic Pill, and there is a medicine called Tibetan orchid in it. The reason why he was deeply impressed by the ten flavors in the Ten Perfection Tonic Pills was mainly because the names of the ten flavors were very peculiar. When he heard about the flavor medicine of "Tibetan orchid", he specially asked his tenth brother, is Tibetan orchid an orchid? The tenth brother told him that although Tibetan orchids have the word orchid, they have nothing to do with orchids.

After Li Ruiyang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Your Highness, you have eaten Tibetan orchids, so the forbidden medicine of the Da Yue clan will not kill you."

The king of Chu secretly wondered: Does the tenth brother know something, so he specially gave him the Ten Perfection Tonic Pill.

"Tibetan orchids are hard to buy, how did His Royal Highness the King of Han buy Tibetan orchids?" He has been in Wusun for so many years, not to mention buying Tibetan orchids, even the shadow of Tibetan orchids has not been seen, where did His Royal Highness the King of Han buy it?

"I didn't ask." It is estimated that the tenth brother also spent a lot of money to buy Tibetan orchids.

"Your Highness, Tibetan orchids are really hard to buy, His Royal Highness the King of Han really has a heart for you."

The king of Chu said with some pride: "The tenth brother has always had a heart for me. (End of chapter)
