Although Ni Zhuo had already expressed his position, Chang Sheng remained silent. The short fat man did not dare to take it lightly, so he smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have been working hard here on patrol. Please come and stay in the palace for a while, and allow us to show our friendship as landlords."
Now that Ni Zhuo had spoken, Changsheng naturally couldn't refute his face, but he really didn't have a good impression of this short fat man, so he waved his hand and said, "We appreciate the king's kindness, but I have military affairs to attend to, so I won't bother you."
Although the invitation was rejected by Chang Sheng, Humpty Dumpty felt relieved and was about to invite him again. Unexpectedly, Chang Sheng turned around to talk to Ni Zhuo and ignored him.
"Mr. Ji Guo, there is currently a shortage of rice in the Tang Dynasty, so I have to ask you to raise it from various sources in the Western Regions," Chang Sheng said loudly, "In order to ensure the safety of you and your family, and to ensure that the rice you raised can be transported smoothly to China. , these five thousand cavalry will stay here in the future, waiting for your orders at any time."
As soon as Chang Sheng said these words, the crowd was in an uproar, while the short fat man and others were expressionless. If Ni Zhuo really left these cavalry, they would have trouble sleeping and eating. If one day Ni Zhuo was angry and destroyed Khotan. In one thought.
Naturally, Ni Zhuo would not want so many soldiers and horses, but he was also angry that everyone in Khotan was ruthless, so he did not want to reassure them immediately, "Everyone in the house is still nervous and worried, let's discuss it when we go home, okay?"
Changsheng nodded in agreement.
Ni Zhuo raised his hand to the short fat man and others, then walked down the wooden platform with Chang Sheng and others, and led them into the city.
When he reached the city gate, he turned back and shouted an order to his own cavalry, "rest on the spot. No one is allowed to enter the city without the prince's order."
"Yes!" All the cavalry responded in unison.
Ni Ni usually travels with carriages and horses, but at this time, the Ni Mansion and the Ni family's goods yard were sealed by the court. Seeing Ni Tuo returning on foot, the short fat man hurriedly chased after him, insisting on sending his own chariot to see Ni Ni off. After going back, Ni Zhuo didn't want to embarrass Humpty Dumpty too much, so he reluctantly agreed.
At this time, the people and merchants in the city already knew what had happened and the identities of Chang Sheng and others. They were curious and stopped to look up and down as Chang Sheng and others walked by while guarding the chariot.
The four Changshengs were riding horses at this time, and Datou drove Miss Bai to fly low to follow. Miss Bai was huge in stature, and her horse was very powerful. When everyone saw it, they all marveled and sighed, and became more and more in awe of Changsheng and others.
As the saying goes, a BMW is matched with a hero, but the importance of horses and carriages cannot be underestimated. In the eyes of the world, the more magical the mount, the more powerful the owner. Although this idea is one-sided, it is not unreasonable, because only excellent things can be achieved Talent can only possess it, but people in the world generally have a hatred of the rich. If you want to please the world, you cannot tell the truth. You have to say with a tone full of disdain and eyes full of contempt, "What's so great? He who rides a good horse must be a good person." ?" This will gain their approval more.
Since there were so many people along the way, Changsheng did not talk to Ni Ni too much. The short fat man also knew that he had caused a big disaster. For fear of angering Changsheng and Ni Ni, he ordered people to rush to Ni Mansion and Ni's goods yard, and surrounded them. All the soldiers there were withdrawn.
With passers-by stopping to watch, the group quickly arrived in front of Ni's Mansion. At this time, the soldiers surrounding Ni's Mansion had withdrawn. Everyone in the Mansion must have received the news. At this time, the whole family went out and waited eagerly from the door.
Ni Zhuo had many wives and concubines, and there were also many servants and servants in the house. There were dozens of people gathered outside the door, but Changsheng still saw Ni Chenyi among the crowd at a glance. After two years, Ni Chenyi had not changed much, no matter it was His clothes, voice, appearance, and appearance are all the same as they were in Chang'an.
When Changsheng saw Ni Chenyi, Ni Chenyi also saw him, and found that Changsheng was looking at him. Ni Chenyi did not hide the joy in his heart, and hurriedly came up to him, reaching out to help Ni Chen who was getting off the car, and at the same time rushed to Changsheng. Zhanyan smiled and said, "You're here."
Changsheng smiled and nodded. He had always been nervous before and didn't know what to say to Ni Chenyi when they met again. But when he really saw Ni Chenyi, he found that his previous nervousness and anxiety were unnecessary, because Ni Chenyi didn't The slightest change has never made any difference. Ni Chenyi is always cheerful and generous, daring to love and hate. Even in the public eye, he never pretends to be shy, nor does he hide his love and affection for himself.
Datou and others were old acquaintances with Ni Chenyi. Meeting old friends in a foreign land felt very cordial, and they all came forward to say hello.
"Thank you for your hard work, gentlemen. Please come quickly. Please come quickly." Ni Chenyi extended his hand to invite guests.
Ni Zhuo's wives and concubines had been on tenterhooks these past few days. Seeing Ni Zhuo's safe return, they were all very happy and gathered around to look at him with concern and ask questions.
"Thanks to you all this time, I really don't know how to thank you..."
Before Ni Chenyi could finish speaking, Datou waved his hand and interrupted her, "Miss, you are outspoken by saying this. We have never been polite to you."
After saying this, Yang Kai and the other three people all nodded in agreement. The house where Yang Kai's master Gu Yan was recovering from his injuries was given by the Ni family. The money Shi Xuanming spent on "understanding the sentiments of the people" was given by the Ni family. Yu Yi has also been given by the Ni family in recent years. Spending the Ni family's money, even spending immortality, is the Ni family's money. Naturally, she is no exception. In order to improve her cultivation as quickly as possible, a dose of qi-boosting medicine costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. The small salary of the few of them is naturally not enough. In addition, there are weapons and mounts. Not to mention anything else, a bloody horse is worth four to five million taels.
Although the Ni family has never thought of repaying kindness, Chang Sheng and others have never forgotten their roots. Now that the Ni family is in trouble, everyone on our side will naturally spare no effort.
Ni Zhuo was detained for several days, and many things were delayed. Eager to deal with the backlog of affairs, Ni Zhuo ordered Ni Chenyi to greet Chang Sheng and others on his behalf.
Ni Chenyi did not invite everyone to the main hall where guests were received, but took them to the embroidery building in the backyard. The daughter of a wealthy family usually stayed at home. In order to let them know what was happening outside, The owner of the house usually builds a wooden building for them, where they can do embroidery on weekdays and overlook the scenery and pedestrians outside.
Ni Chenyi is not an embroidery master, and her embroidery building is not a boudoir, but a place where she practices martial arts and Taoism. Ni Chenyi is also a Shangqing Taoist, and she is the best among her peers in both martial arts and Taoism. I also like medical skills. Of course, Ni Chenyi's martial arts and Taoism are not as good as Zhang Mo's, and Qi Huang's skills are not as good as Changsheng.
Since Ni Mansion was sealed off for several days, fruit snacks were not readily available. Ni Chenyi called his servants, wrote down a list, and ordered them to hurry up and go shopping. Then he made tea himself and drank tea with Chang Sheng and others.
Ni Chenyi is just cheerful and cheerful, not careless. She knows what to say when. In front of Datou and others, she mostly asks about what they have experienced during this period and the current situation of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, although she is far away in the Western Region, She also knew something about what happened in Middle-earth, but she didn't know it in detail.
Too many things have happened in the past few years, even if Changsheng strives to be concise and concise, it is quite laborious to talk about it. After talking for more than half an hour, Ni Chenyi just understood the general idea.
Knowing that Changsheng and others had been sparing no effort to fight for the Tang Dynasty, Ni Chenyi hesitated to speak.
Changsheng knew that Ni Zuo and his daughter had always had no hope for Datang, thinking that Datang was terminally ill, but he was not as pessimistic as Ni Ni. Although the current situation was dire, there was still hope for Datang.
After some hesitation, Ni Chenyi asked, "When are you going to Kunlun Mountain?"
"Why go to Kunlun Mountain?" Chang Sheng was puzzled.
"You still don't know that Kunlun Immortal Palace is about to open..."
