Chapter 664 Qiuxiang has been very quiet
Buck quietly listened to his subordinates' reports in his residence.
"The businessmen of Datang are discussing in the city. They want to eat our goods, but they are a little dissatisfied with the price, thinking that we are too greedy."
Several big cannibals sat across from each other, sneering.
"Then let them go to the West and buy it themselves."
"They can't cross the strait. In addition, the Byzantines will intercept the caravan... There is internal turmoil in Dashi. If Datang's caravan dares to go..."
"They will die by the cutlass!"
Buck said lightly: "Business needs to be done. This is Anxi, and further ahead is the Hexi Corridor. I have always wanted to visit Chang'an... They say that Chang'an is the most shocking city in the world. The whole city is huge and the people are rich. , if we go, we will definitely earn amazing money.”
"Buck, how should I reply to them?"
Buck said indifferently: "Business is free."
A entourage came in, "Buck, the Kucha Kingdom mainly holds banquets, and the officials in the palace said that only 10,000 yuan will allow us to meet Bu Shibi... Besides, there are many distinguished guests who will go."
Buck's eyes became more fiery, "To do business, you need to meet noble people. Maybe a word can bring us endless wealth...give him money!"
…
In another place, a group of Datang merchants also received the news.
"It is said to be five thousand dollars per person."
"Is Bu Shibi poor and crazy?"
"No, no, no, the people in the palace are greedy."
"Go ahead and give him the money."
"Qiu Xiu, what should Buck do?"
Everyone looked at a middle-aged man.
Qiu Xiu said flatly: "He is too greedy, tell our people not to buy Buck's goods!"
"Don't buy it... I'm afraid our group will make less money!"
"If you earn less money, you will earn less money." Qiu Lin said: "This is Datang, how dare a barbarian businessman show his power here? Suffocate him!"
…
The banquet started in the afternoon.
Buck and the others came outside the palace, just in time to meet Qiu Lin and the others.
The two approached slowly, and Buck said flatly: "I have no shortage of buyers for my goods."
"But it will not be a Datang buyer!"
Qiu Lin smiled and said: "Businessmen are greedy, but endless greed will only make people disgusted."
The two smiled at each other, and then went in.
A servant led them in.
There were some futons outside the palace, Qiu Lin just took a look and knew that they were for them.
It is good for a businessman to have a seat outside.
This is also in line with the current status of businessmen.
Buck's companion whispered: "Why can't you go in?"
Buck glanced at Qiu Lin, "Datang thinks merchants are lowly, so... Bu Shibi will follow suit, otherwise we will definitely be able to go in."
Dashi is currently in chaos. He successfully became the guest of the officials in his hometown through bribery.
But here, he can only blow the cold wind outside in humiliation.
"so terrible."
He couldn't help sighing.
Headed by him, the big cannibal sat opposite the Datang people.
In the middle is the aisle, which is clearly separated.
Qiu Lin squinted at him, and said flatly, "This is Datang."
"But the king prefers money." Buck retorted.
Datang must give Bu Shibi some face, otherwise the aborigines in Kucha and the army of officials will not return, and they can cause troubles for Datang at any time.
This is true.
Qiu Lin smiled and said: "I forgot to tell you that the merchants of Datang will not buy from you."
"I can sell to the Kucha people." Buck shook his head slightly, "We do not rely on a certain country or power to do business. If it doesn't work here, then we will go elsewhere."
You are crazy!
Qiu Lin hoped that he could persevere, "By the way, Zhang Changshi from the Anxi Protectorate will come."
"I'm in business." Buck said flatly: "The emperor of the Tang Dynasty said that businessmen from all over the world are welcome. I can come here or go to Chang'an."
"He won't take hard things."
The companion behind Qiu Lin whispered: "Don't bow your head."
Qiu Lin nodded, "How can the people of Tang Dynasty bow their heads to such people, don't even think about it, even if they buy less goods."
He smiled slightly, "There are many more important things than money."
Buck heard this, and said sarcastically: "I forgot to tell you, I donated several exotic beauties to the lord, and any of your calculations cannot be carried out in Kucha."
"Marquis of Wuyang!"
There was a burst of greeting outside.
Buck saw Qiu Lin and the others get up solemnly, and turned his head to look outside.
The wrinkles on the smiling face of the official who received the guests were all piled up. God is sorry, when they came earlier, this official just nodded slightly...
Smile, you think too much.
Even if they nodded, it was because of the entrance fee they paid.
"who?"
Buck was a little curious about this person's reaction.
A young man walks in.
Buck's eyes narrowed.
No no no, it's not him!
He is waiting for the distinguished guest.
But the official bent slightly, and said with a flattering smile: "Marquis Wuyang, the Lord has been waiting for you, please follow me."
The young man glanced up, not talking to the official.
He looked calm, his eyes turned, and he swept across Buck and others.
Qiu Lin stood up and cupped his hands, "I've seen Marquis Wuyang."
Jia Pingan nodded and smiled.
Marquis Wuyang is really approachable.
Qiu Lin smiled and said: "When I heard that the Marquis of Wuyang was coming, I came early and waited. The Marquis of Wuyang's horse stepped on the Turkic tooth tent, which is admirable. I donated 100,000 yuan immediately when I heard the news. Contribute to the immigration of Anxi."
Jia Ping'an smiled and said: "Everyone is from Datang, and if he has Datang in his heart, he is a good person. The so-called inferiority does not dare to forget to worry about the country, well done!"
Qiu Lin said joyfully, "Thank you Marquis Wuyang for your praise."
"Marquis Wuyang, we are not far behind and have donated money. I just want to make Anxi more stable."
"It will be as stable as Mount Tai!" Jia Pingan walked to the middle of the aisle and said confidently: "Do business here with peace of mind, Anxi will only get better and better."
"Marquis of Wuyang, please!" The official smiled.
Jia Ping'an's words are a cryptic statement: Kucha will no longer exist.
Since they have all immigrated and appointed officials, creating another Kucha country is putting them in shackles.
Jia Ping'an entered the main hall, Qiu Lin said happily: "The Marquis of Wuyang is really kind, that sentence about being humble and not daring to forget about worrying about the country refreshes people's spirits."
"The Marquis of Wuyang rode three hundred horses into the joint battalion, one horse is worth a thousand, Ashina Helu can only escape with his own body!"
"They say Wuyanghou is the killer."
"That's what the Tubo people said." Qiu Lin sat down and said proudly: "The Tubo army raided Tuyuhun. Wuyanghou not only defeated the enemy, but also captured the Tubo general alive, saying that he would not keep any prisoners... Those Tubo people Scared of being killed."
"There is also Jingguan!"
"Yes." Qiu Lin said with a smile: "This time it is said that the Marquis of Wuyang defeated the enemy in the battle of Yancheng, beheaded more than 30,000 people, and built all the Jingguan. The Jingguan with more than 30,000 people! It is said to be towering. Into the sky, you can see it hundreds of miles away.”
This word...
It would be **** to see it for hundreds of miles.
Let alone hundreds of miles, you can't see it ten miles away.
But Qiu Lin's words were for showing off.
Are you scared?
He looked at Buck.
Buck was trembling.
His face was pale, and his whole body was shaking like chaff.
Huh!
What's wrong with this person?
Qiu Lin was a little curious.
He turned out to be the Marquis of Wuyang?
Ashina Helu has been spying on Anxi, so Buck also learned a lot about his success.
Jia Pingan was brilliant in this battle. He defeated more than 40,000 enemies in the first battle, and built a capital outside the city. In the second battle, he defeated Ashina Helu's elite together with the army... Finally, he led a surprise attack on Ashina with 300 cavalry Na Helu's tooth tent, it is said that the whole camp knelt in front of him that night and shivered.
Dajingguan with more than 30,000 people!
Three hundred riders dare to step through the tent!
How dare I bark my teeth at him!
…
Jia Ping'an entered the hall.
The decorations in the hall are very exquisite. In order to take care of Master Jia's emotions and habits, Bu Shibi changed all the tables... But Master Jia actually prefers stools.
The official's voice carried the last reservation, "These tableware are older than me...they even served the king hundreds of years ago."
This kind of reserve is meaningless in the eyes of Master Jia. He sneered like an old hooligan: "Since the Han Dynasty, Kucha has been capricious... How many years do you think Kucha can exist?"
He unscrupulously expressed Datang's ambitions.
The official trembled: "Kucha...Kucha..."
Jia Pingan said flatly: "If you dare to say that Kucha will last forever, then I will hang you at the gate of the city and see how long Kucha can last!"
This shameless Marquis of Wuyang!
The murderer!
The official gasped heavily, looking pained.
But pain won't help.
Kucha was defeated by Datang long ago, and the four towns of Anxi, that is, the Four Kingdoms, no longer existed.
Jia Ping'an didn't care about the thoughts of the old and the young. As for the rebellion...
"Afterwards, the army of Datang will continue to increase. I hope those ambitious people will have a good day!"
Bu Shibi came out.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
He spread his hands...
Kucha is a trade transfer station, and spices are one of them.
Bu Shibi's body had a strong fragrance, and Jia Ping'an sneezed after a hug.
"I prepared the best food tonight."
Bu Shibi warmly invited Jia Pingan to sit beside him.
After sitting down, the two exchanged warm greetings... A word flashed through Jia Pingan's mind: Same bed, different dreams.
Bu Shibi will be the last King of Kucha, and this will not change.
"Zhang Changshi has arrived."
Zhang Hui is here.
"There are some problems with the immigrants who just arrived. Many people want to join the army. The old man just went to encourage him, but he was late."
"This is a good thing." Jia Ping'an felt that only 500,000 immigrants were needed, and Datang's rule in the Western Regions would be indestructible.
The tragedy of teenagers fighting to become whiteheads will no longer exist.
"please!"
When the food and wine were served, everyone toasted and drank.
This is a temptation!
Trying is very bad.
Jia Ping'an smiled and said: "Go if you want, this is no problem."
Don’t think about Qiucha anymore. In a few years, it’s better to destroy even the royal palace, and Bu Shibi’s family can enjoy their old age peacefully, which can be regarded as a good death.
Zhang Hui said with a smile: "In fact, the lord of the country is extremely rich."
Be grateful!
Otherwise, what if Guo Xiaoke chopped you up with a single knife when he took down Kucha?
Is there really no hope?
The sweetness of power makes people reluctant to give up. Bu Shibi hopes that at least his generation can continue to rule Kucha.
He glanced at Jia Pingan.
Zhang Hui's statement was timely.
You think too much... Jia Pingan said flatly: "Many times, contentment is always happy."
If it is possible, Datang will not leave future troubles.
Bu Shi finally understood, his complexion paled, and he raised his glass, "Thank you Marquis Wuyang."
The banquet ends later.
Zhang Hui wanted to talk to Bu Shibi alone, and Jia Pingan came out alone.
"Marquis of Wuyang!"
Qiu Lin and others got up.
Jia Pingan nodded slightly, ready to go back.
He needs to investigate the immigration situation, and then send back the real situation here.
"Marquis of Wuyang!"
A trembling voice came.
Buck stood there with a pale face, "I beg the Marquis of Wuyang to spare my life."
What's the meaning?
Jia Ping'an was a little confused.
There are quite a few barbarians in Kucha, just like when later generations travel abroad and look at the foreigners all over the street, they think it’s a face. Jia Ping’an has already forgotten Buck’s appearance.
but…
Jia Ping ignored it.
Since you don’t know, then leave it alone.
"Marquis of Wuyang!"
Boom!
Buck knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said: "I shouldn't speak rudely, I beg Marquis Wuyang to spare my life."
What the fuck!
Jia Ping'an was really puzzled.
Bao Dong said in a low voice: "Marquis Wuyang, this man looks... like that barbarian who bought women."
So it was this idiot?
Jia Ping'an wanted to deal with this person at the time, but Baodong found the mastermind behind the harassment of immigrants, so he could only say that this person's life is good.
But who ever thought that the mountain would not turn around and the water would turn around, and this turned into one.
Jia Ping'an smiled and said, "Fate!"
He left straight away, the lights on both sides were shining, and Lei Hong looked back at Qiu Lin.
"I'm willing to drop the price!"
Buck just wanted to save his life at this time.
Qiu Lin shook his head, "This money Qiu doesn't bother to earn!"
He walked over and told Lei Hong about Buck's situation.
Lei Hong glanced at Buck and said with a sinister smile, "You can run."
Dare to offend Marquis Wuyang...
Jia Ping'an went back and lay down.
From Ashina Helu's tooth tent to the present, the exhaustion of fighting is gradually dissipating.
But there is no entertainment at this time. At night, I either sleep or sleep, but one sleeps alone, and the other sleeps with two pairs of shoes on the ground.
"Marquis of Wuyang!"
Bao Dong came in.
"Zhang Changshi is here."
Jia Pingan gets up and gets dressed.
It’s such a pain to get up and get dressed after lying down in cold weather!
The two meet in front.
Zhang Hui drank a lot, his face was reddish, "The old man talked to Bu Shibi earlier, and talked about his belonging. He and his descendants can be rich, and he can be an official... Bu Shibi was a little disappointed, and then cursed and swore to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty ..."
"You can't believe a word of this."
"Exactly."
Zhang Hui said with a smile: "The old man hinted a bit, but Bu Shibi still didn't give up. In the end, the old man said that the Marquis of Wuyang might come to Anxi as an official. Marquis of Wuyang, the old man is very curious, what exactly did you do? It actually made Bu Shibi...he turned pale at the scene, saying that he wanted to go to Chang'an. He was actually afraid of being with you."
"I did not do anything."
I'm not right, how about Bu Shibi! Jia Pingan needs to think about it.
Zhang Hui bid farewell, and after leaving here, he found a place to drink to the officials of Qiuci in Datang.
"What did Marquis Wuyang do in Kucha?"
He was curious.
The Kucha official looked up, with memories in his eyes, "Marquis Wuyang...the time he came to Kucha, the Prime Minister Nali had an affair with the Ashina family, and the king couldn't stop him, so he felt ashamed, and Nali immediately rebelled , ambushes in the house, but they were blocked by the Marquis of Wuyang with a fire... Then there was a mutiny in the city, and Marquis Wuyang's hundred cavalry suppressed them."
"sharp!"
Zhang Hui couldn't help admiring.
"The general Jie Liedian has always harbored evil intentions, and when he saw the situation, he decisively mobilized. That night...the shouts of killing were loud, and the Marquis of Wuyang led fifty men to attack from behind. He was invincible and killed Jie Liedian."
"That night, the king knelt down and shouted the might of the Tang Dynasty..." After a long time, when he mentioned it again, the officials were still shocked, "I still remember the appearance of Marquis Wuyang holding the head of a man who was lying on the ground."
Zhang Hui toasted and drank it down, "Excellent, I am a tiger in the Tang Dynasty!"
Jia Pingan lay down.
"Marquis of Wuyang!"
Bao Dong's voice made Jia Pingan explode, "What?"
It's endless, right? !
"There are barbarians kneeling outside, with several carriages behind them."
I don't care if he is a barbarian or a Tianzhu!
"sleep!"
When Jia Pingan woke up, it was already early morning.
Comfortable!
He gets up, washes up, and starts to practice.
If you don't practice the knife technique for a day, you will become proficient in your hands, and you will become slippery when facing the enemy.
After a set of sword skills, Jia Pingan sighed: "Invincible."
Bao Dong pushed open the door and exclaimed, "Who?"
Outside the door, Buck's face turned blue from the cold.
He knelt down again, "Begging Marquis Wuyang to spare his life."
He knew he couldn't run.
Kucha is not small, but Datang is now stationed with more and more troops. If Jia Pingan says a word, where can he go?
This rising star of the Tang Dynasty, it is really too easy to kill a Hu merchant.
I'm so cheap!
Bao Dong turned around, "Marquis Wuyang, that barbarian is still there."
"He didn't freeze to death? That's his luck."
Jia Ping'an felt a little regretful. "Let him in."
Buck walked in stiffly, knelt down, not daring to lift his head, "I beg the Marquis of Wuyang to forgive me..."
Then a few barbarians came in carrying things, full of boxes.
Boxes filled half of the yard, and the last ones came in were two women, still masked in black robes.
"I swear, I have never touched these two women."
Buck knelt there trembling.
He vowed that as long as he could survive, he would let someone else come to Datang next time, and he squatted outside Anxi.
Last night, he went to get to know Jia Pingan, and only then did he learn about the **** storm that Jia Pingan created in Kucha.
My **** dares to sneer at such a murderous **** with disdain, die!
The money in this half of the yard made Baku feel heartbroken.
"Let's talk at noon."
Buck was overjoyed and hurried to leave.
Jia Pingan yawned, "Bao Dong, Lei Hong, let's see how much it's worth."
After some inspection, Bao Dong and Lei Hong were both stunned.
"Great work!"
Jia Pingan felt that this could be considered a hemorrhage.
The two women stood there, not daring to look up.
These two women are troublesome!
Back home, the two women will overturn the jar of vinegar.
The key is that Master Jia is not interested in Dayan horses either.
"You two..."
The two girls knelt down, and the taller one said in broken Tang dialect: "Master, we are from Byzantium..."
Eastern Roman Empire?
Jia Ping'an was a little confused.
He originally thought that these two girls came from the West, and the West at this moment can be called a barbaric era...
Byzantium.
"Marquis of Wuyang."
Bao Dong excitedly said: "This is a beauty!"
"roll!"
Bao Dong understood and went out with Lei Hong.
"Marquis Wuyang wants to kill two birds with one stone!"
Inside, Jia Pingan asked about the situation of the two girls.
"Originally an aristocrat, he was dealt with... and turned into a slave trade. It was said that the people of Tang Dynasty were rich, and they taught Tang dialect along the way, and also said a lot of rules."
The two pairs of big eyes are full of despair.
This young man looks quite handsome, what will he bring us?
"Your name is Qiuxiang."
The blond girl with big eyes nodded.
"Your name is Quiet."
The freckled girl nodded.
These two girls from foreign lands have a high safety factor, and they don’t know Tang characters... Jia Ping’an is thinking about who to serve in the study, and these two are just right.
The two girls stood up and slowly loosened their black robes...
"Received!"
Master Jia is upright and strict!
—I have to sleep with two wives when I go home! I would like to be an orange...
