Three days later, the Huns' old land.
In one tribe, Wushi Feng, who looked the same as the Huns, received a silk book rolled over by Wushi Mu.
After reading it, Wu Shifeng was a little hesitant.
At first, because he liked taking risks and didn't want to worry about the affairs of the clan, he took the initiative to ask Wu Shiluo to send him to take charge of the business with the Hu people and the Huns. But the facts described in the silk book are too dangerous. Besides, I am already over forty, and my brain is not as fast as when I was young. If there is a slight mistake, I may not be able to die.
After thinking about it for a day, I finally decided to start preparations as stated in Wu's pastoral letter. After all, without the support of my nephew in Daqin, I would not be able to live freely on the grassland for so many years. Now that I have the opportunity to take the family a step further, You should try your best.
Two days later, the Xiongnu Wolf Court.
Wu Shifeng looked at Maodun in front of him, and felt a little nervous in his heart. He mustered up the courage to say: "Modun Shanyu, the villain's name is Wu Shifeng, is a businessman, and I came here to see Shanyu today because he has a rare treasure to dedicate to him. Chanyu.”
Maodun is in his twenties, and his body is not too burly, but he has experienced countless life-and-death dangers at a young age. His face is as sharp as a knife and an axe, and his sharp eyes seem to be able to see through all dangers.
Mao Dun looked calm and said calmly: "I have heard of you. You have provided a lot of food to the Northern Hu and the Xiongnu. You have dealt with the Qin people and the grasslands. You are a bold enough businessman."
Wu Shifeng quickly followed the etiquette of the Huns, put one hand on his chest, and bowed: "Although I am from the Rong tribe, my mother is a Huns, and the Huns are half of my hometown. It can not only help my hometown, but also If you can get enough benefits, why worry about some small risks.”
Having been in the grassland for a long time, he knows how to show himself the stereotype of a profit-oriented businessman.
Mao Dun nodded and said calmly: "Why do you want to offer me the treasure? Tell me what you want."
Wu Shifeng responded carefully: "Now that both the Xiongnu and Qin people are in seclusion, I can no longer get enough goods to trade here. I hope Shanyu will be kind and give me the power to pass the customs so that I can obtain the goods for trade."
Mao Dun suddenly sneered and said coldly: "Even if Ben Shanyu agrees, the people of Qin have already retreated. Where are you going? Ben Shanyu heard that your Wushi was a great Qin merchant among the Qin people. Could it be that you are the Qin merchant?" A spy of the Qin people?"
Wu Shifeng was so frightened that he knelt down and touched the ground with his head. He said in fear: "Chanyu, I am a businessman with half Huns blood. I only care about getting goods and benefiting the Huns. How dare I do such a rebellious thing?" . Besides, I have broken up with Wushi long ago, otherwise how could I dare to wander on the grassland all the time? Please look into it clearly!"
Modun ignored him and narrowed his eyes: "Where will you go to get the goods?"
Wu Shifeng quickly replied: "I heard from the Huji people that the countries in the Western Regions each have their own characteristics and rich products. I want to go there to trade with the people of the Western Regions."
Mao Dun's expression gradually softened and he said calmly: "Get up. You still don't know that the Western Region has fallen into the hands of the Qin people, right? I advise you not to die."
Wu Shifeng stood up and replied cautiously: "I heard about it. But since the Qin people have withdrawn their troops from the Twelve Kingdoms of Shanbei and Cheshi, I guess they have begun to resume farming. They need our cattle and sheep at this time. If we sell them, It's bound to be a huge profit. But it's a long way from Hujie. I asked Shanyu to give me the right to pass the customs. I want to go out from the west of Yinshan Mountain, pass through Dayuezhi and then go to the Twelve Kingdoms."
"What?" Mao Dun frowned and said, "You said that the Qin people have withdrawn from the Twelve Kingdoms? Where did you get this news?"
Wu Shifeng was startled: "You don't know Shanyu? The villain's caravan has just returned from Hujie, and the news came from there. Not only that, it is said that rebellions in Wusun are frequent, and the Qin people are too worried to take care of other countries. "
Modu frowned and said coldly: "Is what you said true?"
Wu Shifeng said respectfully: "I dare not deceive Shanyu. You can send someone to inquire about this matter and you will find out."
Mao Dun suddenly smiled and nodded: "Okay. Wushi Feng, where is the treasure you want to dedicate to me?"
Wu Shifeng didn't expect Mao Dun to be so moody, and immediately responded: "Just outside the tent, it's a precious sword!"
Modun lost interest and said calmly: "I have all the Xiongnu's swords here. What swords do you have? Take them in and have a look."
Immediately someone went out and came in with a knife.
Mao Dun looked at the knife wrapped casually in linen and shook his head. It didn't even have a scabbard inlaid with gems. How could it be a good knife?
When he opened the linen, a sharp blade with cold light appeared in front of Mao Dun's eyes. Mao Dun's eyes suddenly shone. He picked up the knife and looked at it carefully. He couldn't help but admired: "What a knife, what a knife! Wushi Feng, you have never seen it before." Where did you get it?"
"This sword is the saber used by the Qin cavalry! I got it from the battlefield of Donghu."
Mao Dun stared at Wu Shifeng in astonishment and asked curiously: "I heard that the Qin people would rather throw away the corpse than lose their weapons. How did you get it?"
Wu Shifeng smiled sheepishly: "Of course when I heard about this, I felt that their weapons must be extremely sharp and rare swords. Chanyu knew that I would occasionally do some 'business' on the battlefield, so I specially let him People paid close attention and then picked up one."
Mao Dun naturally understood that his so-called "battlefield business" was to make money from dead people, nodded and praised: "Okay. You have made a great contribution!"
He turned around and handed the knife to Seleng, who had made great achievements and was now King Zuoxian: "King Zuoxian, please give this knife to the knifesmith and let them examine it carefully. Be sure to copy it!"
Wu Shifeng was stunned: King Zuo Xian? When did the Xiongnu get this official position?
But Mao Dun continued: "Wu Shifeng, you are very good. This Chanyu promises you that you can trade with the twelve countries, but you must have someone from this Chanyu to follow you."
Wu Shifeng was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed and said: "Thank you Shanyu. I am grateful to Shanyu for being protected by Shanyu's people!"
"Go ahead."
After Wu Shifeng went out, Mao Dun was a little unhappy. He looked at Hedu Suo who was named a general and said: "Hedu Suo, this Chanyu is not suspicious of you just because you are a clan brother of Hedu Ye. But a Even the businessmen got the news, why didn’t you report it to me?”
Hedusuo heard this and quickly stood up and explained: "Chanyu, this is my fault. Because the Qin people have already occupied the Western Region, I did not continue to pay attention."
Mao Dun waved his hand and frowned: "Immediately send someone to verify what the merchant said. If it is true, I will plunder it and store up food for the winter."
Then he narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Since Touman Chanyu, the people of the Western Regions have lost their respect for us. This Chanyu wants them to know that the Huns are still the overlords of the grasslands!"
Seleng looked puzzled: "Since Chanyu planned to plunder the twelve countries, why did he allow that merchant to go to trade?"
Maodun sneered and said lightly: "Does robbery and trade conflict? He should thank this Chanyu. The twelve countries have been swept by Wusunli. If they are robbed again by this Chanyu, they will need more goods from outside. , wouldn’t it be beneficial to his business?”
Seleng laughed and boasted: "Chanyu Yingming!"
