When Song Che was brought into the palace, Sha Kuiwen, the king of Dadan, had prepared a banquet and took his queen to sit at the same table with two princes and a princess.

It is also true that a high level of respect is given.

"Honorable envoy, please take a seat, the wine in the small country is meager, I hope it will satisfy your appetite."

Sha Kuiwen is over forty years old, speaks a very fluent official dialect, and his appearance is also somewhat similar to that of Liang Ren.

Although Dadan is a country in the Western Regions, it speaks official language, applies the Liang system, and writes Liang characters, which can be said to be small.

Song Che beckoned, and Nangong Yue and Lu Jingxiang each brought five pieces of silk and sent them to the queen.

"This is a high-grade silk from the south of the Great Liang River, a small gift, and the king and queen are invited to smile."

The queen and the princess couldn't wait to open a horse and stroked it lovingly, "Since the Silk Road was cut off by the Hu people, silk is rarer than gold, and now we can make beautiful clothes." ”

Afterwards, the feast proceeded in harmony. When she had eaten and drunk, the queen took the prince and princess down from the table, and the king dismissed the guards, and it was time to talk about some business.

"Does the king want war, or peace?" Song Che asked straight to the point.

The king pointed to the food on the table with a complaining tone: "Mr. Song must think that these meals are very tasty, yes, it is caused by the selfishness of the Hui Kingdom, and they have caused the royal family to have no salt to eat." We in Dadan have always wanted to live together peacefully, but they don't give us that opportunity. ”

Song Che said lightly: "Song has a plan to stop the two countries and resume salt and iron trade." ”

The king stood up and said, "Mr. Song, please speak!" ”

Song Che said: "I want to hold a symposium and let Your Majesty sit down with the King of Hui and have a good chat. ”

"Mr. Song, your idea is very good, but it seems to me a little naïve," said the king, "King Shamir, of the Hui Dynasty, is my half-brother, and he is the most foul-tempered and selfish man in the world, and he will never come out to meet him if he does not have enough interests." ”

Song Che waved his hand and said: "Hey, don't worry about this majesty, I will write a letter later, you send a messenger, bring my paperwork, and send it to the king of Hui overnight, even if he doesn't give you face, he will definitely come out to meet for the sake of Emperor Daliang;

Moreover, this symposium will be chaired by me, and I have 10,000 confidence that peace will be restored to your two countries and that you will bring a steady stream of wealth. ”

King Sha Kuiwen looked at Song Che and couldn't help asking:

"Mr. Song, you ...... Is it a merchant or a messenger? ”

Song Che said with a smile: "Anything valuable in this world can be traded, including war and peace, in general, Song is still a businessman, but he does a relatively large business." ”

"Mr. Song, he should be a very amazing person."

"Your Majesty praises falsely, Song retired."

……

In the afternoon, Song Che wrote the letter and sent it to the king, then walked around the city of Dadan, and finally crouched in front of a blacksmith shop that was said to be the most skillful, and watched them make weapons.

"Boss, you've been standing here for almost an hour, what are you going to do?" Lu Jingxiang asked impatiently.

Song Che gently spit out four words: "I want to kick the gym." ”

"Kick the gym?"

The two female swordsmen looked at each other in confusion. Nangong Yue sighed: "Boss Song's style of acting is not something we can speculate, he must have a reason for saying this." ”

Lu Jingxiang pursed her lips: "Sister Nangong, no wonder the boss loves you so much, you are really good at licking." ”

Nangong Yueqiao's face turned red and she punched Lu Jingxiang, "Say nonsense again!" ”

Lu Jingxiang playfully stuck out her tongue, "Hehe...... However, looking at these Dadan people striking iron, it doesn't seem to be very exquisite. ”

Song Che looked back and smiled: "You can see it too?" ”

Lu Jingxiang raised the sword in his hand and said proudly: "This saber of mine cost a hundred taels and was built with the best 'ten thousand pieces of steel', and it took seven days and tens of thousands of beatings to finish the product. ”

Nangong Yue said: "A real master, even with a wooden sword, can sharpen iron like clay." ”

Lu Jingxiang said: "I'm not a real master, my martial arts are not enough, and the sword will make up." ”

"Good! Since your sword is so powerful, let's use it to kick the gym! Song Che clapped his hands.

At this time, the first batch of good knives in the blacksmith shop had also been made, and Song Che strode in and shouted:

"Boss, take out the best and best knife you have here, and if it can get into my eyes, I will buy him ten times the price!"

It's all arrogant, what else is there to say?

The old blacksmith beckoned, and the little blacksmith immediately took out one of the previously forged knives, offered it with both hands, and said:

"Dear boss, I won't tell you, these knives are all made for officers, what do you think of the condition?"

Song Che took the knife, the texture was quite heavy, the blade was smooth, and the blade was sharp, he nodded: "Well, it does look good, but I just don't know how to use it." ”

The old blacksmith cupped his chest and promised: "My blacksmith shop has been there since my grandfather's generation, and no one dares to call the second in Dadan, if the boss doesn't believe it, you can look at me." ”

He immediately tore off a beard and gently put it on the blade, splitting it in two in an instant.

"It's not surprising that I have a sword here, and if you can cut it out of the gap, I'll buy it tenfold as promised, do you dare to compare?" Song Che asked.

There were more than a dozen apprentices in the old blacksmith's shop, and he certainly couldn't refuse in front of them, so he gladly agreed to the competition.

Song Che threw the knife back to the little blacksmith, "In order to show fairness, you hold the knife, my guard holds the sword, and a few simple fights, which is stronger and which is weaker, you can see the true chapter." ”

With that, he glanced at Lu Jingxiang.

"Choke!"

With a dragon groan, Lu Jingxiang pulled out his sword and unsheathed it, it was really a good sword, and it already made people feel cold for making a move.

The little blacksmith did not show weakness, held the knife in both hands, and shouted: "Then you are welcome!" Let's take it! ”

He swung vigorously and slashed at Lu Jingxiang.

It is not only a test of toughness, but it doesn't need too many moves, Lu Jingxiang is a sword when he meets the blade-

"Bang!"

"Bang dang!"

The knife in the little blacksmith's hand was broken in half.

The blacksmiths were stunned, doubting their own skills.

The old blacksmith's face was gloomy, and the pride he had accumulated from his grandfather's life seemed to be completely ended the moment the knife was broken.

"Master, this sword of my guard is made of the best 'ten thousand steels' of the girder, and it is not surprising that the sword you forged is not as tough as it." Song Che smiled and gave down the steps.

"No wonder...... Our Dadan is only a small country, and of course it is not as good as the steel of the girders," said the old blacksmith bitterly:

"It's just boss, you have better weapons, why did you come to my shop to buy knives? Isn't that a smash on my field? ”

"Hey, don't misunderstand, master, I just want to try Dadan's iron-making process, it's really pretty good," Song Che took out ten taels of gold from his sleeve and threw it to the old blacksmith, took another good knife from the shop, and asked with a smile:

"This ingot of gold should be enough to buy you two knives, right?"

The moment he saw the gold, the pride passed down from the old blacksmith's ancestors seemed to return, and he nodded happily: "Enough, enough......"

Song Che wrapped the knife and left the blacksmith shop.

"Boss, why did you smash someone's yard, buy someone's knife, and finally give them gold?" Nangong Yue asked.

Lu Jingxiang said at this time: "Boss Song's style of acting is not something we can speculate, he must have his reasons for doing this." ”

Nangong Yue squinted and smiled: "Jingxiang, you still say that I am also very good at licking!" ”

"Alas...... Where did you learn all these foul language? ”

The two women looked at each other and said in unison:

"It's not the boss you taught!"
