Temulun walked into the shop.
When the waiter behind the counter saw him, he hurriedly came up to him and said with a smile on his face: "Taiji, you are here. Do you want to bring something back this time?"
This is not the first time for Temulun to come here, and the clerk in the shop is familiar with him.
"Where's your shopkeeper?" Temulun glanced around the shop. When he didn't see Wu Jingyan, the shopkeeper, he asked the waiter.
The waiter smiled and said: "The shopkeeper is in the backyard. If you want to see our shopkeeper, I will take you there."
As he said this, the clerk made an inviting gesture towards the door at the back of the shop.
Temulun stepped towards the back door pointed by the man.
As soon as he came out of the back and went to the backyard, the door of the main room in the yard was pushed open and Wu Jingyan walked out of the house.
"Temuluntaiji, why are you free to come to my place today? Come in quickly, I'm going to have a few bowls of drinks soon." Wu Jingyan walked forward quickly with a smile on his face and made a clasped fist gesture. .
Temulun said eagerly: "You still have time to drink, but something big is going to happen to your Tiger Flag!"
"Tai Ji is talking about Su Nang leading the army to attack Datong!" Wu Jingyan said with a smile.
Temulun was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You know everything?"
"I heard someone mentioned it a few times." Wu Jingyan stretched out his hand to touch Temulun's forearm, and then said, "Let's go into the house first."
Temulun did not resist and allowed Wu Jingyan to pull him into the main room in front.
Arriving at the east room of the main house, the two of them sat down separately. Wu Jingyan said to the waiter who followed him: "Let me cook some vegetables and get a jar of sorghum stuffed rice. The guards brought by Taiji will also send some food." .”
No matter how small Taiji is on the grassland, he will keep a few personal guards and take them with him when traveling. When Temulun comes to Qingcheng, there is never a shortage of personal guards to follow him.
Even though he didn't see Temulun's personal guards, he still asked the people below to prepare food for Temulun's personal guards.
The east room of the main house is not too big. After placing a dining table and a clay kang, there is not much free space. At most, one or two chairs or benches can be placed.
Wu Jingyan opened the teacup that was upside down on the table, picked up the teapot on the side and poured a cup of hot tea. He handed it to Temulun and said with a smile: "Taiji has a sip of tea first, the food and wine will have to wait a while. "
Temulun had never drank a sip of water since he came to Qingcheng. He was really thirsty, so he picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.
Wu Jingyan, who was standing aside, picked up the teapot and filled Temulun's teacup with water again.
This time, Temulun did not rush to drink the water in the tea cup, but said to Wu Jingyan: "Since you know what Su Nang wants to do, it seems that you are not in a hurry at all, even if I, an outsider, heard the news I’m all worried about you.”
"At this point, it's useless for me to worry." Wu Jingyan smiled and said immediately, "Su Nang has led his troops south and will arrive in Datong soon. Even if I can't eat here, no one can stop me if I'm not anxious. Su Nang goes south.”
Hearing this, Temulun sighed and said: "I came to Qingcheng this time to persuade the Great Khan to issue a decree to recall Su Nang and the army. It is a pity that the Great Khan did not interfere between you and Su Nang. Even if I want to help you, I can't help you."
"Taiji has helped us enough." Wu Jingyan picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water into his cup, saying, "Even if the Great Khan makes a decree to recall the army at this time, Su Nang will not obey it."
Temulun said: "Su Nang may disobey the Khan's order, but other Taiji dare not disobey the Khan's order. As long as Taiji leads his tribe back to Qingcheng, Su Nang will lead his troops to attack Datong this time." The plan may be terminated.”
"On behalf of my proprietor, I would like to thank Taiji for his kindness." Wu Jingyan bowed his hand towards Temulun and said immediately, "I will always remember Taiji's kindness in my heart."
Temulun waved his hand and said: "The reason why I help you Tiger Flag is because your Tiger Flag brings the goods they need to the herdsmen. If your Tiger Flag cannot help the herdsmen, I will not step in to replace you several times." You beg the Khan for mercy."
"Tai Ji is dedicated to serving the public, and I sincerely admire him." Wu Jingyan clasped his fists.
"Okay, no need to put a high hat on me." Temulun shook his head slightly and said, "Actually, I also have my own selfish motives, because your Tiger Flag has helped my tribe a lot, which has made the herders prosperous. There will be more soldiers in my tent than before, and the strength of the tribe will also become stronger."
Wu Jingyan said with a smile: "It's all because of Taiji's foresight that the herders in the tribe have lived a prosperous life and attracted more herdsmen to join Taiji's tribe."
In addition to some tribes on the grassland, there are also many herdsmen wandering on the grassland.
This kind of herdsmen is usually a small tribe formed temporarily by a family or several families. They are very weak. When they hear about which tribe on the grassland is rich, they will actively offer to join this tribe and become its herdsmen.
Temulun's tribe used to be just a small tribe with little strength and could only rely on Bushitu's side. Now his tribe has close ties with the Tiger Flag, and the herders have become richer, attracting the herdsmen wandering on the grassland to take action. join in.
The more herdsmen a tribe has, the stronger the tribe is. However, a tribe's wealth is limited and it is impossible to accommodate wandering herdsmen without limit.
Now that Temulun's tribe has more wealth, it is naturally qualified to accommodate more herdsmen, and the tribe's strength has also become stronger.
It was precisely because Te Mulun's troops became stronger that he repeatedly spoke for the Tuhu flag in the sweat tent, but Shitu was kicked out of the tent. In the past, if he had dared to disobey Shitu, he would have been kicked out long ago. Shitu confiscated the tribe's herds and took away some of the herdsmen.
Temulun picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of the tea inside, and said, "How does your Dongzhu Liu plan to deal with Su Nang and the officials of your Ming Dynasty?"
"I don't know about that." Wu Jingyan shook his head and said immediately, "I am in Qingcheng, and my boss will not discuss anything with me as a shopkeeper."
Temulun hesitated for a moment and said: "From the bottom of my heart, I don't want anything to happen to your Tiger Flag, but this time Su Nang is determined to deal with you. If you are willing to give in, I can help you plead with Su Nang." .”
"Thank you Taiji for your kindness." Wu Jingyan said, "From the beginning, it was not me, Tiger Flag, who took the initiative to cause trouble. Now even if we are willing to give in, Su Nang will not let us go, not to mention that all the grassland tribes are watching. , I, the Tiger Flag, want to stay on the grassland to do business in the future, so I can’t lower my head.”
"Alas!" Temulun sighed.
How could he not know that what Wu Jingyan said was true. Once Huziqi surrendered to Su Nang at this time, not only Tumote but also several other tens of thousands of households would not let go of Huziqi's fat piece of meat.
There was a sound on the door of the outer room, and then the curtain in front of the east room was opened, and the man walked in with a jar of wine and two wine bowls.
