Wang Dong acted quickly.

After he left Lin Xiqi's side, he immediately sent an envoy to the Western Regions.

Three days later, the news was on Lin Xiqi's desk.

After reading it, Lin Xiqi chuckled and said, "I didn't expect it, this new king is very temperamental." ”

"I really didn't expect that. Wang Dong sighed a little speechlessly.

He didn't expect the other party to be so tough.

The meaning of the new king is very clear, that is, it can support trade between the two sides, but it will increase the current tariff tenfold.

The reason is that the goods transported back by the caravans on their side of the Great Xia side can often be sold for dozens of times the price.

Of course, this is just an excuse.

He didn't want to deal with Great Xia.

"My lord, what should we do next?" Wang Dong asked again.

"Send someone to talk to us, and we have to show enough sincerity. Lin Xiqi said.

"Okay. Wang Dong nodded.

Wang Dong knew that Lin Xiqi was doing this for the 'Red Lotus Sect' in the Western Regions.

There was little room for negotiation on the part of the new king of Persia.

Next, if the caravans on the Great Xia side want to do business in the Western Regions, they will have to pay high tariffs.

This is unacceptable on my side.

"My lord, someone is asking to see you. When Wang Dong left, Lin Xiqi was in the study for less than an hour, and a servant came to report.

"Who is it?" asked Lin Xiqi.

"It was a woman, and she said she came from the west. The official said.

"Oh, let her in. ”

Lin Xiqi secretly thought in his heart, he finally came, faster than he expected.

It seems that the situation on the side of the 'Red Lotus Sect' in the Western Regions is not very optimistic.

"You may be seated. After Lin Xiqi glanced at the other party, he chuckled and said, "The Seven Star Sect has not seen each other for some time. ”

"Lord Lin, you should know what I mean. Aunt Jiang was not polite, and after sitting down on the chair, she said.

"No, I don't know. Lin Xiqi shook his head and said.

Aunt Jiang took a deep breath.

She knew that the other party must know, and now she said this just to take the initiative in the next negotiations.

She wanted to change that, but she couldn't think of anything she could do.

"I'm here in the hope of getting help from Lord Lin. Aunt Jiang said.

"No problem, I think we had a great time working together. Lin Xiqi said, "If you have any difficulties, just say it." ”

"Lord Lin, this matter is not a good thing for you, I think we should have a chance to join forces. Aunt Jiang said.

She didn't say what it was, the other party knew about it, and she didn't need to say it anymore.

"Oh, you're talking about the succession of the new king of Persia, right?" Lin Xiqi said with a sudden look on his face, "You don't have to worry about this, we are still negotiating, and I believe that there will be a result that satisfies both parties in the end." ”

"Lord Lin, you won't get your wish. Aunt Jiang said, "Husette will not budge, I still know him very well, he is an extremely xenophobic person." If the Great Xia caravan wanted to reap the benefits from him, it was impossible. ”

Hussite is the new king of Persia.

"You'll have to talk about it until you know. Lin Xiqi said, "I don't care if he is extremely outperform, I believe that as long as there is a big enough benefit, anything can be achieved." ”

"Is that lord ready to accept ten times the tariff?" asked Aunt Jiang.

Before Lin Xiqi could answer, Aunt Jiang continued: "Although the tenfold tariff is a lot, for the caravan of Great Xia, if you really want to accept it, you can bear it, and they still make a lot of money by transporting the goods back to Great Xia. But I want to remind your lordship, don't underestimate Husset, when the time comes, he can completely increase the tariff, fifteen times, twenty times, in short, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the people of Daxia. ”

"It's a bit of a headache. Lin Xiqi said.

"So this time, I came here to ask for help from adults, and I also wanted to solve this dilemma for adults. Aunt Jiang said, "Hussein, he is different, he fully supports the exchange with Daxia, if he can take the position, in addition to restoring the previous state of exchange, he can continue to give preferential treatment on the tariff, I believe it can bring more benefits to Lord Lin." ”

Hussein, Husset's elder brother, was the original prince of Persia.

"Hussein, is this Hussein still alive?" Lin Xiqi feigned surprise, "I thought he was dead." ”

"Hmph, with our protection, how can the people on Husette's side have a chance?" Aunt Jiang snorted coldly.

"I thought that you came here this time to help you with the 'Red Lotus Sect', but I didn't expect that your ambition was even greater, this is to re-promote this Hussein to the throne, and that temperament is completely different. Lin Xiqi said.

This is the truth, Lin Xiqi did not lie.

He really didn't expect the other party to have such a mind.

Originally, I thought that the other party just wanted to keep the 'Red Lotus Sect'.

But they seem to be unwilling and want to push Husette down.

If it's just to help the 'Red Lotus Sect', it's still relatively easy.

But when it comes to the struggle for the throne of a country, it is different.

At that time, there will be too many related things, and it is really difficult to say whether there are enough benefits on your side.

After all, the price to pay will be much greater.

"This is also for the sake of adults, only in this way can the Great Xia caravan come and go unimpeded. Aunt Jiang said.

"You think too highly of me, I don't have the ability. Lin Xiqi said.

"No, it's not that adults look up to adults, but adults have this strength. Aunt Jiang said.

"Oh?" Lin Xiqi raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea, and did not make a sound.

"Hou Yuan invaded Liangzhou, 400,000 troops. Aunt Jiang sighed, "Isn't all this the result of the adults operating behind the scenes? Relying on the forces of the Liangzhou government alone? Oh, those forces may also be in the hands of the adults, right? If you can also say that you can divide some people a little, I don't think there is any problem in dealing with the Persian side." ”

"Don't hold me up so high. Lin Xiqi said, "You also know that the 400,000 army of the Later Yuan Dynasty invaded, and in addition, there are many masters of the Tartar rivers and lakes. They besieged the Floating Cloud Sect, and the Floating Cloud Sect was almost in ruins, I don't know if you know it. ”

"So serious?" Aunt Jiang shook her head and said, "We just heard that they besieged the Floating Cloud Sect and returned in vain, so we don't know much about the rest." ”

That's true, they really don't know much about it.

The main reason was that it was the civil turmoil in Persia at that time, and Husset's seizure of power reached a critical moment, and they could not put more attention on the side of Liangzhou.

So you can only know approximately.

"There's nothing to hide about this, the Floating Cloud Sect is still being rebuilt, and there are too many casualties. Lin Xiqi sighed.

These words made Aunt Jiang fall silent.

If the loss of strength on Lin Xiqi's side is too great, it is really troublesome.

On his side, he also hoped that Lin Xiqi's side could support him strongly, and if they themselves suffered heavy losses, this matter would be unlikely.
