Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 380

Hu Shang yelled a few times in words she didn't understand, and Hu Shang's entourage stopped immediately, and retreated to Hu Shang's side, seeing the little lady who was sitting in front of Hu Shang's horse and half-held in his arms, fought back Putting a sharp dagger on Hu Shang's neck, his face immediately changed, the atmosphere was tense, and the attendants would attack Jin Xiang at any time.

The Hu Shang said something with a smile, and some of the attendants actually laughed.

Although Jin Xiang didn't understand, she had an intuition that it was not a good word, and her face was a little hot, "Follow me into the house!"

Hu Shang smiled and agreed, "Little lady is so powerful, how dare you not follow, little lady, be careful, this dagger is very sharp, don't slip your hand, and cut yourself, I will feel bad!"

"Shut up!" Jin Xiang's face became even hotter.

The Hu merchants all laughed, seeing that Hu merchants were not worried, they were no longer so nervous.

According to what Jin Xiang said, Hu Shang entered the gate of the palace with a horse, and the archers on the wall and roof immediately withdrew, and the guards of the palace also put away their weapons.

Walking all the way to the outside of the hall, Jin Xiang's dagger was always on Hu Shang's neck, and Hu Shang was not in a hurry, he sniffed Jin Xiang's fragrance with great interest, and looked intoxicated, which made Jin Xiang dazzled. Due to embarrassment, the dagger was almost unsteady.

The Hu businessman also teased her and said: "Don't miss it, if I die in the hands of the lady, there will be no regrets, and the lady will cry for the rest of her life!"

Jin Xiangxiang gritted his teeth, while Hu Shang's followers were still booing again and again.

Finally arrived outside the flower hall, Jin Xiang put away the dagger and stepped aside.

Hu Shang smiled at her, took off the sheath of the dagger hanging from his waist, raised his hand and threw it to Jin Xiang, "Keep it well."

"Who wants your things!" Jin Xiang said angrily.

Seeing Hu Shang who was smiling, she seemed to have a cold face, so she squatted down and picked up the scabbard, and put the dagger away, "Hold it for you first! It's still yours!"

Only then did Hu Shang laugh, straightened his clothes, and walked towards the flower hall.

King Qi and his concubine were sitting in the flower hall.

When Hu Shang's entourage was about to come in with him, the people in the palace raised their hands to stop them, "Masters meet, wait outside! There are no rules!"

Hu Shang narrowed his eyes, looked back, and raised his hand to tell his angry followers to calm down, "Don't worry, since Prince Qi invited me here, he naturally wants to discuss business with me, and he will definitely not hurt me easily. Don't you think so?"

King Qi nodded slowly, and said with a light smile: "It's natural, honored guests, please sit down."

"I never thought that the owner behind the small cloth shop has such a big background!" Hu Shang smiled, looked back at Jin Xiang standing at the door, and clicked his tongue twice, "However, to have such a clever and capable maidservant, what a blessing!" My boss, of course, can't be an ordinary person."

"I invite you here today because I want to ask you for help, but because you are not good at inviting me, I made some preparations. It seems that this preparation is also necessary, otherwise, I really won't see you today." " Fang Yan said slowly.

Hu Shang smiled, "So that's how Liang people ask for help? Prepare archers, guards, real swords and guns. If you don't agree to help, just give me a cold arrow?"

Fang Yan shook his head when he heard the words, "Mr. Lang is joking, otherwise, Mr. Lang is afraid that he has already left at this time, how can he still sit and talk to each other?"

Hu Shang snorted, shook his head, and suddenly said: "It's not impossible to ask for my help, but I want you, a maid."

He pointed to Jin Xiang standing at the door.

Jin Xiang was shocked immediately, her expression changed, she turned her face and knelt down towards Shen Xiniang, "He panicked, madam... maidservant, maidservant..."

Shen Xinniang, who hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly stood up, and looked at Hu Shang coldly with black and white eyes, "Your own life is about to be lost, how dare you negotiate terms with the prince?! The prince invites you to come and say It sounds nicer, it’s asking for your help, to put it bluntly, it’s giving you a chance to save your life!”

That Hu Shang was unprepared, and was a little dizzy from being shocked by such a burst of coquettish drinking.

"What do you mean by that? I don't understand..."

"Are you Hu Shang? What is your identity? You don't know yourself? We smart people don't speak dark words, so why don't you clarify your identity first?" Shen Xinniang sneered, looking at Hu Shangdao.

From the very beginning, Shen Xinniang was suspicious of his demeanor, so he sent the guards of the palace to keep an eye on him.Now whether she really knows the identity of Hu Shang, or she has a vague guess in her heart, I don't know, but her righteous words, very sure, shocked the Hu Shang.

Hu Shang remained silent for a while, only sized up Prince Qi and the imposing concubine beside him with his eyes, wondering whether they deliberately deceived him, or did they really know something?
"You have been in the capital for several days. You have not heard enough discussions in the restaurants and streets? Who in this capital can help you and do 'big business' with you? In your heart Is it still not a deal? I invite you here today, not to help us, but in the final analysis, it is for mutual benefit. Whether you want to do this 'big deal' that is cost-effective for you and the prince, you can still weigh it yourself." Shen Xinniang said slowly.

Hu Shang immediately stared, "You send someone to follow me?"

Shen Xinniang lowered her eyes and sat back in her seat.

Fang Yan smiled lightly, "Have you thought about it, Mr. Lang? Can you discuss this business?"

Hu Shang frowned tightly, seemed to have figured something out for a while, and snorted, "Let's see what you all know? When talking about business, it also depends on whether you have the strength and sincerity!"

Fang Yan raised his hand and took out a thinly rolled piece of paper from his sleeve, and raised his hand to the person serving him, who then sent it to Hu Shang.

Hu Shang was puzzled, took the note, and opened it slowly.

When he saw the handwriting on the note, he was shocked immediately, his complexion changed, he stood up quickly, and put his hand on the saber at his waist.

His entourage standing outside the door also put on an offensive posture.

"Prince Qi, what do you mean?" Hu Shang asked coldly, the mocking smile on his face was gone, and there was only a icy coldness, "Prince Qi, are you going to spare my life? The rumors on the street are really unbelievable, they all say that Prince Qi is a virtuous king... Humph, what a joke!"

Fang Yan frowned slightly, lowered his eyes to think for a moment, and said truthfully: "I invite you to come here, I just want to ask you to explain, what is written on it?"

Hu Shang froze, looked at King Qi in disbelief, and then at the beautiful concubine next to King Qi, and asked Chi Chi, "Don't you understand?"

King Qi nodded, "So please excuse me, sir."

Hu Shang frowned, looked Qi Wang up and down, "Isn't this letter for you?"

King Qi shook his head again and again, "No, it was just intercepted by accident."

Hu Shang pursed his lips, with some disbelief on his face, "Can't you? It was intercepted by accident? What a coincidence? You intercepted it? Let me see it?"

"Unfortunately." Shen Xiniang took a sip of tea and said slowly, "The lord has mobilized many people in order to intercept this letter. Within two or three years in the capital, I am afraid that there will be very few hawks."

Hu Shang choked, and looked down at the note again, his eyes were wide open, and he read it word by word carefully, "Is this handwriting copied? Isn't it the original handwriting?"

King Qi nodded, "It seems that I have found the right person to find Mr. Lang!"

Hu Shang hummed, the expression on his face was unclear for a moment.

"Jinxiang, close the door." Shen Xinniang said suddenly.

The Hu businessman didn't object.Although Hu Shang's followers were very nervous, but the master didn't say anything, they didn't want to act rashly.He could only watch helplessly as the formidable little lady who dared to put a dagger on her master's neck turned around and closed the door, blocking their sight.

"What was written in the letter?" King Qi asked.

Hu Shang pondered for a moment, and looked at King Qi seriously, as if he was secretly assessing King Qi's credibility. I have come to Beijing to conspire to negotiate a peace, and I hope to know about the damage. If you can let him go without paying back, I will definitely thank you very much.'”

King Qi and Shen Xinniang looked at each other, Shen Xinniang stood up suddenly, and gave Hu Shang a blessing, "The second prince is polite."

Hu Shang was startled, and quickly got up to return the salute, "The prince is polite, and the princess is polite!"

After greeting each other, he frowned and looked at Princess Qi, "How does the lord and concubine know my identity? Does anyone else know in this capital?"

Fang Yan shook his head gently, "It's just a coincidence. Fortunately, the princess is careful and sensitive. General Yu's letter stated that the Turkic Khan had two successful princes. The first prince was warlike, and the second prince was benevolent. Those who advocate peace talks have always been concerned about the common people. The second prince who cares about the common people. If the second prince is able to venture to Beijing at this time, he must be planning a big plan."

The second prince nodded, cupped his hands and said: "It is precisely for the peace talks between the two countries, but I heard that the voices opposing the peace talks in the Liang Dynasty have always occupied the backbone. Now, there is a letter written by my elder brother..."

He sighed and shook his head.

Fang Yan's face was also not very relaxed. The fact that the peregrine falcon flew to Cai Xiang's house yesterday was like a thorn in his heart.He never expected that it would be Cai Xiang.

No matter what the reason is, since the facts have proved that Cai Xiang participated in the collusion with the enemy, this matter should not be underestimated.It is also determined not to let Cai Xiang know the fact that the second prince is in Beijing before he has a full grasp.Cai Xiang had already received the original copy of the note, if he knew, he might really plot against the second prince's life.In this way, I am afraid that negotiating peace will no longer be possible, and it will only become an unattainable luxury.

"Preserving the safety of the second prince is the top priority now." Fang Yan said slowly.

The second prince cupped his hands in thanks.

There was a fluttering sound from the closed door, and Jin Xiang let out a low exclamation at the door.

Shen Xinniang looked up at the door.

"My lady, there is a bird!" Jin Xiang whispered outside the door.

"Put it in." Just as Shen Xiniang finished speaking, Jin Xiang pushed open the door.Then a big bird more than one foot long flew in with flapping wings, and after circling around under the beam, it landed on Shen Xinniang's shoulder, and rubbed Shen Xinniang's neck with its soft head. collar.
