Lane City.
Shuke wrote a detailed letter about their current situation according to what Norton said, and wrote a letter to their black-clad king Edward, waiting for Edward's order.
On the grassland, Xu Yunyan's tribe welcomed a special messenger.
Watching the Turkic envoy arrive, Sun Ning, who temporarily acted as the leader of the tribe, received the envoy with a veil.
"I don't know why the messenger came from such a distant place?"
The envoy was not arrogant or domineering. He just bowed to Sun Ning and started talking.
"Although we Turks were defeated by the Tang army, the Tang army also gave us a lot of autonomy and allowed our tribes to live on the grasslands. However, we cannot turn the Tang army's preferential treatment of us into our courage to act recklessly."
Sun Ning was stunned for a moment when he said this.
"I don't know what the envoy meant by what he said. What do you want to teach me? The envoy just said it. You just gave me some wise words, but I don't know what they mean!"
The messenger didn't care whether Sun Ning understood or not, and spoke directly in front of her.
"You can't fight against the Tang army, you can't act recklessly, the tribes love each other..."
In fact, the envoy was quite happy. In the past, there were continuous battles between tribes. Although there were large tribes above and their Turkic Khans above, the fighting between tribes never stopped. Pass.
Even if they were gathered together by the Turkic Khans, they would still have to compete with one, two, and three. This resulted in many Turks not falling into the hands of the enemy, but falling into the hands of their own people.
superior.
What's more, in the Turkic past, they would abandon useless people once they encountered bad weather. Now with Tang Jun, even if they are useless, they can still receive supplies and survive, which gives them hope.
No one can guarantee that they will always be strong and will not have accidents.
After Sun Ning and others were recognized as a wealthy and powerful tribe, Sun Ning was very happy and negotiated back and forth with the messengers who came to deliver the message.
However, after listening to the messenger's words, Sun Ning began to feel uneasy.
"Has the Tang Army's power expanded here? Can we still live happily on the grassland? What if they find out about my husband?
Although we will not be targeted, I am so afraid of losing my husband. Once Tang Jun finds out about my husband, we will be in two different worlds.
One is a prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the other is the daughter of a former official. How can they be together? Not being held accountable is pretty good. "
Sun Ning couldn't help but think about what would happen if his husband Xu Yunyan was discovered by other people. However, even if he couldn't help thinking about it, he didn't want to face the worst thing. He could only keep thinking about it. Such troublesome things will happen.
And while they couldn't stop talking about Xu Yun, thinking about whether he would do something after remembering all his memories, Xu Yunyan, who entered the Ottoman city, looked at the foreign city he had seen for a moment as if he had seen it in a dream. I don't know what to say.
"It's so strange. Why do I have the appearance of this city in my mind? It's more like I've been here, but in fact I really
Never been here? "
When Xu Yunyan came to this city, looking at the various Ottoman residents who were struggling to survive, he thought of the Rhine City again.
However, this is not the point.
The point is that since they are disguised as a caravan, they must do what a caravan should do, and they cannot make any more mishaps.
Although Maimaiti is a man in black clothes, he has been in this Sangui zone for a while, and he is very familiar with the appearance of black clothes, Ottomans and Turkic caravans.
He quickly led the caravan to a suitable trading place and started trading.
Although Xu Yunyan and the others did not have many distinctive oriental items, which blinded the face of Xu Yunyan, an oriental person, when they saw Xu Yunyan's presence, many people came up to him with smiles.
"Businessmen from the East, I wonder if you still have silk from the East in your caravan?"
Another person came to inquire about silk. Xu Yunyan shook his head.
"My silk has been replaced by other people. I'm sorry, there is no silk in the caravan now."
Xu Yunyan said it very sincerely, and everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, they looked at Xu Yunyan and nodded.
"There is no silk in your caravan now, so I wonder if your caravan will trade with silk again in the future?"
Xu Yunyan said it without thinking.
"Yes, it's just the first time we came here from the east to do business. We switched our goods along the way to get here. You also know that there were many special circumstances along the way. We had to do this."
Xu Yunyan said this, and other businessmen echoed next to Xu Yunyan.
"
Yes, life is too difficult for us businessmen. If we want to provide convenience for them, they first think of their own interests. After they have eaten and drank enough, we can only carry a little leftovers and continue driving to the next stop. "
What these businessmen said was full of snot and tears, and they were also expressed from their own feelings.
"If we had a strong team that could control the entire route, we wouldn't be in this situation."
These businessmen look at me and I look at you. Although they think this matter is very reasonable, where can they find such a powerful army?
As Xu Yunyan said, if they meet many people on the way, their valuable goods will no longer be valuable. Moreover, they dare not resist or say anything, because they are afraid that if they resist, they will lose their lives if they say too much. there is none left.
Compared with life, it is better to spend some money.
Xu Yunyan looked at the merchants in front of him and chatted with them. At the same time, he also asked about the prices of those special goods, especially the unimaginable value of silk.
Xu Yunyan even grinned.
"The silk produced by our Tang Dynasty must be of high quality and low price. Wouldn't we make a lot of money by transporting it here?"
How is that impossible? It is possible that the outcome will be nothing.
But just after Xu Yunyan said something, he muttered again, "I am the Tang Dynasty..."
Immediately a little embarrassed.
"Is Datang related to me? Yes, I used to be a general in Datang. Although I may have been on the wrong team, I am still a general of Datang. There is no problem in calling me Datang."
Xu Yunyan comforted himself, and after finishing speaking, he looked at the items of the numerous caravans in front and began to compare them with each other.
They chatted and made deals.
They had just exchanged all their goods for some that were not very valuable, but were useful among the tribe, and began to return.
The other caravans were very curious, "Are you just starting to return like this?"
Xu Yunyan nodded, "Yes, I have seen the scenery of the Ottomans, and of course I have to start returning. Since you all like my silk from the Tang Dynasty so much, we will exchange some things that the tribes on the grassland need with them all the way back to the Tang Dynasty. After I take control of the silk, we are destined to meet again."
As soon as Xu Yunyan finished speaking, all the caravans couldn't stop praising Xu Yunyan. There was no one who couldn't get along with money.
Suddenly someone came up and asked, "I don't know what the name of this host is? We might as well spread the blogger's name along the line so that they don't embarrass the host for the time being. Some of us have some backgrounds and can still say something useful." Voice.”
Hearing their inquiry, Xu Yunyan thought that this was also the case. In order to be able to trade silk and to make huge wealth, they would spare no effort to win over him.
Then Xu Yunyan looked at them and started talking.
"So that you all know, my name is Xu Yunyan."
"Xu Yunyan? What a strange name."
Although the name was a bit strange, they nodded.
"We will remember it and will definitely inform our friendly team of the host's name."
Xu Yunyan nodded, "Thank you all very much. We are destined to meet again in the future. Maybe we will establish a transfer station on the grassland at some time. In the future, you may be able to see us and trade with us on the grassland." .
"
"This is a great thing to say."
After everyone complimented Xu Yunyan, they began to watch Xu Yunyan leave, but Maimaiti looked at Xu Yunyan and muttered.
"Is this the end?"
Xu Yunyan also muttered, "What if it doesn't end like this? Do you want to do something else to end it?"
Maimaiti looked at Xu Yunyan and shook his head, "Sir, that's not what I meant. Didn't we come out to detect intelligence? It ended so easily?"
Xu Yunyan nodded, "It ended so easily!"
Xu Yunyan started to return with Maimaiti. As soon as he left the Ottoman city, some Ottoman cavalry came over in the distance.
Seeing Xu Yun and his caravan rushing into the city without even taking care of it, Xu Yunyan and Maimaiti did not expect this scene.
"It's really rare for Ottoman cavalry to have such appearance!"
As soon as Xu Yunyan said this, Maimaiti nodded beside him.
"Yes! But when I saw them, we didn't meet them on the grassland, let alone near the Ottomans. I didn't expect them to talk so well."
But just as they were thinking this, the returning cavalry made them complain again and again.
What's going on? Why is this cavalry team coming to us again? What do they want to do?
Just when Xu Yunyan and Maimai couldn't help but wonder, the cavalry team in front of them approached.
"We are here to recruit soldiers under the order of the city lord. You will need half of the manpower of this caravan."
"ah?"
Suddenly the team in front of them became Osman's who came forward to catch the young man.
Soldiers, Xu Yunyan and the others looked at me and I looked at you. But just as they were stunned, the cavalry captain in front of them stepped forward again.
"Why didn't you hear what I said clearly? Come with half of your troops, otherwise you will be our Ottoman enemies."
After he said this, Xu Yunyan sighed and motioned for the buyer to pay.
Boss Maimaiti reluctantly took out a small package from his arms, but the small package was indeed opened, and a ray of yellow light shot out from the package.
Anyone could tell that it was gold and nothing else.
Just like that, Maimaiti walked forward with a smile.
"Captain, please drink some tea to relieve your fatigue. We only have a few manpower. If you remove half of our manpower, what will our caravan become like?
We are here to trade for the people in the tribe. What if we leave ordinary manpower here and our caravan is robbed when we return to visit? Sir, please forgive us and make it convenient for us. "
However, the more talkative Maimaiti was, the more gold he was given. The cavalry captain put the knife in his hand on Maimaiti's neck.
"It's easy to say, you lead the people and stay with me, so that your caravan will not have any accidents, right?"
