The middle-aged man, Ah Heima, looked meaningfully at Qin Liu, who was stiff and motionless and did not dare to move, and his face was full of tears, and asked with a smile: "Miss Liu, do you remember me?" ”

Qin Liu asked rhetorically, "Should I know you?" ”

Ah Hei Ma laughed wantonly: "You Han people's memory is so bad?!" Remember a few years ago, when I snatched you from outside Beijing and wanted to take you to the steppe to be a slave to our khan? ”

Qin Liu didn't expect the original body to have this experience!

Can she deny it now?

She had to tell the truth: "I ...... I don't remember. ”

Seeing her stiff mouth, Ah Hei Ma sighed and said, "Okay, it's not a glorious thing for you, and it doesn't matter if you don't admit it." Who is the young general who snatched you back? ”

Qin Liu didn't know anymore.

In her mind, she suddenly remembered the words of Jinyi Wei Qian Ning in the private room of the post station in Shabaozi Town: "When the first emperor was still there, the Mongolian envoys were arrogant, and when they left the capital, they also kidnapped the families of our court officials!" It was General Zhu who took the lead, and with a few guards, he went to intercept the team of thousands of envoys, and saved people by force! The first emperor praised Lord Zhu as worthy of being the queen of the gate! ”

Qin Liu blurted out: "He is the queen of the famous family!" ”

Ah Heima raised his eyebrows, but did not ask again, but asked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, but Miss Liu ran to the grassland by herself!" What do you want to do when you come to the grassland, come to our royal court?! ”

Qin Liu replied without pause: "Of course it's a horse seller!" ”

"Why are you here to sell horses?!"

Qin Liu retorted confidently: "The mutual market between Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty has been suspended, the Ming Dynasty has been short of horses for a long time, and the horse sales are beneficial and profitable to the imperial court, why can't I come?!" ”

"And how many horses are you going to buy? How much silver did you bring? ”

Qin Liu paused before saying, "It depends on how much you Great Khan and Empress want to sell to us." ”

Qin Liu knew that this matter had risen to the level of the Mongolian royal court, and the thirty or forty horses that she could afford with a little gold and silver in her arms were not enough at all.

This matter has Old Man Lou behind her back, she might as well touch the attitude of Mongolia first.

"But what tokens are there?"

Qin Liu was stunned. Where does she have any tokens?

She looked at the spear that was still against her throat, and then at Ahima.

Ah Hei Ma waved his hand and put away the spear and sword that pointed at Qin Liu.

Qin Liu thought for a moment and took out three big gold ingots from his arms: "This is a deposit." ”

Ah Heima took the gold ingots and looked at them carefully, then turned around and went back to the yurt.

Qin Liu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the bottom of these three gold ingots, there is a dent of the word "Zhu", which should be the exclusive mark of the Baoguo Mansion. I don't know if this counts as a token?

Qin Liu thought uneasily, and after a while, Ah Hei Ma came out and made a "please" posture.

Qin Liu followed his guidance and timidly entered the yurt.

The yurt was not large, the floor was covered with a gorgeous carpet, and directly in front of it sat a slightly fat elderly woman, about sixty years old. Beside her stood a little mute.

The elderly women wore white Mongolian robes with moire embroidered with gold thread, which was luxurious and generous. On her head she wears a round crown adorned with various precious stones, and the crown hangs down her ears with long pearl tassels, which further accentuates the nobility of the woman.

Qin Liu guessed in his heart that this was the famous Queen of Manduhai, and stepped forward to kneel and bow like a Mongolian: "The folk woman Liu family meets the noble queen and the admirable heroine!" ”

The Empress of Mandu Sea, who was seated, looked at Qin Liu coldly: "Flat." If you dare to go deep into the grassland, you can be regarded as a heroine among women. ”

Qin Liu slowly got up, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This opening statement is not bad.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Queen Manduhai gently brushed the three gold ingots on the table next to her to the ground: "If you want to sell horses, you can't do this gold alone." I want the real thing. ”

"Please also ask the Empress to say what you want."

The Empress of Mandu Sea spoke smoothly and clearly: "I want you to exchange salt, ironware, and tea for our horses." ”

Qin Liu gasped.

What she wants is the official monopoly of the Ming Dynasty!

She doesn't have what it takes to get her hands on it!

Qin Liu calmed down and replied as calmly as possible: "These specific contents can be discussed with the partners who came with me. In addition, I hope that Prince Balsborot will be the representative of the royal court and discuss the details of cooperation with us. ”

Seeing that Qin Liu did not refuse, Empress Manduhai's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, Ah Heima, you assist Prince Balsborough to negotiate business with the Han people." Next, it's up to you. ”

Qin Liu respectfully thanked him and retreated.

A guard led her to the place where she and Old Man Lou had set up camp.

Qin Liu was in a hurry as much as possible, she had to find Old Man Lou quickly and communicate with this old guy about today's situation!

Oh my immortal God!

Who would have thought that they would meet the famous Mongolian heroine - the Queen of Mandu Sea!

That's the Mongolian version of Wu Zetian!

Before Qin Liu could reach the place, he heard footsteps approaching quickly behind him.

As soon as she turned around, she noticed that it was the little mute who was running quickly, and when he reached her, he was still panting slightly.

Qin Liu smiled, "Dear Prince Balsborot, it's an honor to meet you. ”

The little mute looked at her deeply and meaninglessly, and only said a few words softly: "Talezhhara." ”

Qin Liu smiled deeply with a deep look in his eyes.

This is the first time the mute has said thank you to her.

The reason why she proposed to ask the little mute to be the negotiator of the royal court just now was that he had just come back and was reprimanded by his parents one after another, and it was difficult for him to gain a firm foothold in the Mongolian royal court.

If this business doesn't work out, no one knows what will happen. There are little mutes who have been with them for a while, and it is unknown whether they can save their lives at a critical moment.

But if it is done, it will help the little mute to be recognized in the royal court.

All in all, it must be much better to have a little mute mediating in it.

Qin Liu blinked his eyes and smiled, "Talzhhara." We're friends, aren't we? ”

The little mute smiled and watched her go away.

……

Old man Lou heard Qin Liu's "salt, ironware, and tea" change horses, and just said "my good man", so he lowered his head and was silent.

After a while, Old Man Lou said as if he was rejuvenated: "This tea is okay, and salt can also think of a way." This iron tool will never work. Not to mention that the Mongols bought iron tools and forged them into weapons to deal with us, even we Han people themselves, who dares to touch iron tools if they have nothing to do? Isn't that a proper charge of rebellion? This is not good, this is absolutely not good! ”

Qin Liu said with a sad face: "Why didn't you say this earlier? I also refused at the time! ”

Old man Lou said: "In this way, they will definitely come to talk about the details, and we will communicate with them again." ”
