King of Song

Chapter 392

"This Lin Zhao, I understand a little bit!" Tuobashi naturally understands this truth if he knows himself and the enemy.

If you are ordered to come to peace talks, if you don't even know the identity and general situation of the negotiating opponent, what qualifications do you have to sit at the negotiating table?Therefore, there is no need for Wang Mengxi to remind, Tuobashi already knows it well.

"Oh? Do you understand?" Wang Mengye felt a little disappointed in his heart, and thus lost another chance to put on airs.

Tuoba Shi nodded briefly and said: "I have some understanding. This person was not born in the imperial examinations when he was a weak crown. He is the new favorite minister of the Song Emperor in recent years. He has been sent to Liao and Tubo, and the results are good. He is very talented."

"It's good to know, don't underestimate the enemy, Liang Guoxiang has suffered a lot in his hands, and this time he has followed his way in Dashun City. So during the peace talks, you have to be careful beforehand, don't fall into this ghost Be an elf!" Wang Mengye hastily ordered again, it seemed that it was difficult to conceal his hatred for Lin Zhao and the fear that he himself did not pay much attention to.

Tuobashi had other ideas. Liang Yibu lost to a Song Dynasty youth named Lin Zhao many times.Returning from Tubo in Hehuang, this time in Dashun City, the whole army was wiped out, and even he became a prisoner of others.These things have long been rumored in Xixia, how could Tuobashi not know?
Therefore, from the very beginning, he was on guard against this Lin Zhao, at least he was prepared in his heart.But is Lin Zhao really that powerful?He doesn't seem to think so.Tuoba Shi thought, maybe this has a lot to do with Liang Yibu's "stupidity", or his carelessness to underestimate the enemy.

Is it not rare for Liang Yibu to rush forward under the enemy and not take the opponent seriously?It's just that due to Liang Yibu's identity and status, some things can only be tacit and must not be said.In addition, he has a close relationship with the Empress Dowager Liang, no matter what, he has to give Liang Guoxiang a face, right?
Now I have paid enough attention to this side, and I have specially added caution.I want to see, what kind of abilities does that Lin Zhao have?Was Liang Yi careless?Or is it incompetent?
"Okay, then it depends on your means, it's best to teach him a good lesson!" Wang Mengye squeezed out a ferocious smile from the corner of his mouth, and the "big enemy" finally arrived.Now that I am in Suizhou, I should find a way to teach him a lesson.

In an instant, the jealousy in Wang Mengye's heart welled up again, and the hatred was extraordinarily grand.Of course, revenge is important, but Gu Chong is more urgent. Those jewelers should be here.After giving some instructions, Wang Mengye quickly left,
He still has work to do!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the south of Suizhou City, Fuqing's old store has been around for a long time.

When the relationship between Song and Xia was harmonious in the early years, the market trade in Suizhou was also very prosperous, and they had a good life opening inns and warehouses.

It's a pity that in the past few years, the relationship between Song and Xia has deteriorated, wars have continued, and the discussion field has been closed.Among other things, first of all, the business has not been very good because of them who opened the inn?
The shopkeeper of the inn is surnamed Wu, in his 50s. His ancestors seem to be Qiang people, but they have been completely Sinicized.It's just that he lives in the territory of Xixia now, so he is a Xixia person who understands the etiquette of the Han family.

Old Wu's idea was originally very simple, earn a few more years, and when he is sixty years old, he will go home to take care of his old age and enjoy his grandchildren.However, business is not doing well, and there have been no customers for many days.He originally planned to close the door, but he found that many people suddenly came to the city recently, and Lao Wu hurriedly opened the door, hoping to bump into some guests.

Later he heard that the two countries, Song and Xia, were going to hold peace talks in Suizhou.Hearing this news, Old Wu was quite happy, so let's stop the war and negotiate peace as soon as possible. Businessmen like them are the ones who are most affected by wars.As long as the trading market is reopened, Suizhou's business routes will flourish again, and then my business...

Especially my desire to retire at the age of 60 and have grandchildren, it will naturally come true, alas!Thinking about it, I am a little excited!

Many times, good things come in pairs, and good luck always meets unexpectedly
No, as soon as the door opened, business came to the door.From a distance, I saw more than a dozen people walking in. This was the first business recently. Old Wu couldn't say how happy he was, and immediately greeted them with a smile.

"Do you want to eat some food objectively? Or stay in a hotel?"

"Stay in store!"

Not bad!It's a good start, more than a dozen people live in the store, but it's not a small income!

"Okay, I'll prepare a room for you right away!"

"Well, remember, drinks and food will also be served!"

"Yes Yes!"

"Dayong, hurry up and get ready!" Lao Wu agreed with a smile, and then gave his son a vicious look.When will you be able to wink at this rammed goods and make a bright future?He also said that he would go home to take care of his grandson, how could he rest assured that he would hand over the old store to them!At the same time, Lao Wu also realized a serious problem, where is his grandson?Has the daughter-in-law's stomach not moved yet?No, when I earn some money these days, I have to ask a good doctor to take a look at it. There are three major unfilial acts without descendants, so I can't delay the inheritance of the old Wu family's incense.

"Everyone, drink some tea first to moisten your throat, and it's getting hotter today... The meal will come later, and I'll be here soon." It was rare for guests to come, and Lao Wu was very attentive, serving tea and pouring water himself.

"Okay, thank you very much!" The dozen or so guests who came were also very polite.

Old Wu asked with a smile: "You all come to Suizhou to do business?"

"That's right! Peace talks are imminent now, and it will be a matter of time before the resumption of negotiations is over. The early bird catches the worm!"

"That's right, that's the truth!" Old Wu has seen quite a few people over the years, and his eyes are quite vicious. These people are indeed dressed as businessmen.It's just that there is no luggage or goods with him. It seems that he may be selling that valuable small item.Or come here to negotiate with customers and purchase supplies.

The mutton, leather goods, and felt produced in Suizhou are all high-quality. If they can be transported back to the Central Plains, they will definitely make a lot of money.Old Wu smiled and said, "You guys come to Suizhou to do fur business..."

"Hey, let's meet the guest first!" The guest responded lightly, but did not answer directly.

Old Wu knew in his heart that this was probably a confidential matter, so it was fine if he didn't want to disclose it, and naturally he couldn't ask more questions.

While talking, the food and wine had already been served, and Old Wu greeted him: "Everyone take your time, and then avoided it far away."

"Hey, you really are enthusiastic!" Li Donglin at the dinner table couldn't help but smile lightly.

Needless to say, these guests were Li Donglin, A Chang and others.Their purpose of coming to Fuqing's old store was very clear, as they said to Lao Wu, to wait for customers.

After Li Cheng intercepted the jewelry caravan, he questioned them separately and learned the accurate information.What's more important is that the place of delivery can only be agreed to be Fuqing's old store in Suizhou city.

When they came here before, they were quite worried when they saw the old store closed, so how should they contact those mysterious Xixia customers?Fortunately, Old Wu's side opened the door in time, saving a lot of trouble, and they rushed over immediately, only to meet the very attentive Old Wu.

Achang smiled and said: "It seems that Suizhou is also much more desolate, and the life of the vendors is not easy. But the wine and food are quite exquisite, which is not bad!"

Li Donglin glanced at the dishes on the table, it is indeed not bad to have this level in the Northwest.But... I think Brother Achang has not been to the Jiangnan residence of my uncle's house, otherwise everything I eat in the future will be tasteless.

"Donglin, are you sure it's Fuqing's old shop?" Achang seemed a little worried. If Li Donglin tricked them, they might all confess to Suizhou City.These are all trivial matters, the point is that if you delay my grandpa's major event and delay the rescue of Miss Seven, then it will be troublesome.

Li Donglin nodded lightly: "No mistake, it must be here, and stay here first, just wait!"

"Who is the guest?"

Li Donglin shook his head slightly: "Every year, ordinary people come to pick up the goods, and the people are often different. I really don't know who is behind it."

"Oh?" Achang was skeptical, always feeling that Li Donglin was not telling the truth in this regard.

In fact, he didn't know, this matter really wronged Li Donglin, he really didn't know anything!Li Donglin is still in trouble now?It will be troublesome if you are afraid of revealing your stuff.

Li Donglin hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Achang, I know that you and that servant Lin don't believe me... Anyway, there is something I want to discuss with you!"

"What's the matter?" Achang looked at Li Donglin suspiciously, very vigilant.

Li Donglin groaned secretly, obviously he had good intentions, why was he always suspected like this?well!Young Master, Young Master, a certain one is absolutely loyal!

"It's like this. Although I am in business, I used to be a scholar. I always wanted to be an official through the imperial examination. Unfortunately, something happened to my family, so I had to go the business way. But if there is still a chance, I am really willing..." A Chang mulled With emotion, he said: "It can be seen that this Lin Shilang is not low in status and has a bright future. I thought, can I work for him and find a family background in the future?"

"This..." Achang didn't expect Li Donglin to make such a request.Is it true?Could there be some conspiracy?

"Brother Achang, don't be in trouble. I can tell that I have a mission to come to Suizhou this time. I just want to say that if I can help you in any way, Donglin is absolutely obliged. How?" Li Donglin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, if it wasn't for the suzerain's message, claiming that it doesn't matter if his identity is leaked, how could he dare to be so bold?

Well, it seems that the suzerain intends to inform the son of his life experience, that's good too!The big guy has a real core.Especially when it comes to cooperating with the young master, it is much easier, at least there is no need to be so sneaky.Making up stories is really troublesome, and it is easy to cause misunderstandings. Li Donglin has a deep understanding these days.

However, before that, the play still has to go on, and this vote is still very necessary!
