When the soldiers standing guard at the gate heard the roar of the tiger guarding the envoy, they knew that he was really angry and hurriedly went to find the Persian Suhrab.
Su He followed the soldiers cautiously, suspecting that the matter had been exposed, but it was too bad luck. He had just thought of a bad idea when he was discovered, and there was less time for a cup of tea.
"Master Jun, what does the guard want to do with me?"
The soldier turned back and glared at him and said, "I don't know, go and ask yourself."
The soldiers returned to stand guard outside the hall. Su He walked into the thatched hall with weak legs and feet. He saw Li Siye sitting upright in front of the desk, with a three-foot horizontal knife drawn out and placed on the desk, with a cold light flashing on the blade.
Li Siye's face was as cold as a piece of iron, and even his thick eyebrows were condensed to the center of his eyebrows. Su He was so frightened that his legs could no longer support him, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.
"Suhrab, let me ask you, when should cotton be planted?"
Su He knelt down with support, his upper and lower teeth touching each other: "May, no, April, now is the right time."
"Then why did you tell the soldiers that they had to wait until May? What on earth do you have in mind!"
"Li Shijun, please spare my life, I don't know." Su He was so flustered that he could not speak incoherently: "Maybe I am possessed by a ghost, so I said such nonsense. I really don't know why.
Said this...Have I ever said this? Oops, I even forgot about it!"
Li Siye sneered: "Do you admit that you are obsessed with ghosts? What is the motive of this ghost? We are enemies in the same industry. Do you think I am stealing your business? Has it made you feel scared?"
Su He lowered his head in regret, wanting to speak but speechless, wanting to cry but without tears.
"Su He." Although Li Siye's voice was cold, his tone gradually became calmer: "The cotton business is cold. You don't think about how to open up the market, but you think about not letting others squeeze in? Do you think the market is saturated? Once others take action, your
Is there one less piece of cake? Can you only see a few carpet workshops? The Tang Dynasty has a population of 80 million. If you can open this market, you can even plant the entire Anxi into cotton.
, it’s not enough for them to consume.”
Li Siye was talking exaggerated nonsense like this, which made the Persian vendor kneel on the ground and raise his head. His big beard and innocent little eyes looked particularly awkward.
"Li Shijun, I was wrong."
"Where did you go wrong?"
"I shouldn't be short-sighted, and I shouldn't judge your villain with a gentleman's heart..."
"Huh!?" Li Siye glared at him angrily.
"No, no... I am a villain! I am guilty. I am willing to do my best to help Shoucongling grow cotton. I am willing to move my family here to help you!"
Li Siye picked up the horizontal knife from the banzu table and strode towards him.
Su He fell into despair. Did he say the wrong thing again? Am I going to die here today? What should I do with my five beautiful wives?
The horizontal knife was placed on his shoulder, and Su He closed his eyes in despair. Regret! I should never have dealt with this local emperor who was guarding the village in Congling.
Li Siye grabbed a handful of his beard, cut it off with a knife, held it in his hand and said, "In the hope that you will repent in time and not make a big mistake, I will spare you today. You don't need to move your home."
Come here, after planting cotton, go back to your Qiuci. You will be my business partner in the future, so go down."
"Thank you for not killing me." Suhrabu kowtowed heavily to Li Siye, stood up and staggered out of the thatched hall.
Fujimaki walked in from the outside, passed by him, turned around and glanced at the other person's back, and asked strangely: "What's wrong with him?"
"He's very cautious. I really don't know how he started his business."
Tengmu sighed heavily and said to Li Siye: "I think you have gone astray. We came to Congling to guard the border and perform meritorious service, but you are only interested in money. This is wrong."
Li Siye grunted and put the horizontal sword into its sheath, then gave him a sidelong glance.
"Have I delayed the border defense by doing this? The biggest problem in Congling now is poverty. No matter what I do now, I am changing it. You should be your team leader and do not neglect daily training."
"Hai!"
Li Siye held the scabbard and knocked on his back: "Damn it, don't make such a sound in the future. You can answer yes or no."
"Here!"
…
The sky is as blue as a mirror, as if there is no impurity but it is within reach. The rolling snow-capped mountains in the distance are covered with white snow, and the Yiduo River stretches into the distance like a blue ribbon.
The nearby deserted fields are dotted with figures. They are walking and busy in the fields. One figure in a white robe is running back and forth, looking particularly busy.
Li Siye stood next to the female wall. The soil under his feet split and split, falling to the bottom of the city. This earthen city wall was too brittle. When there was too much money in the future and it was too much to use up, he would take out a portion of it.
, tearing down the city wall and rebuilding it again can be regarded as leaving something to Congling.
Suhrab's performance was quite good. Yesterday I didn't spare him in vain. It seems that it would be better for him to be beaten.
Fujimu stood behind him and suddenly stretched out his hand to point into the distance: "Li Shijun, what do you think that is?"
He put up a pergola to block the sun, and saw something distinct in black and white between the depressions of the two mountains, slowly moving towards this side.
When these things got closer, he saw that they were a group of people riding white camels. The leader of the white camel was flying a white flag. The clothes of these people were also white, and they looked especially good under the strong light.
Conspicuous, like a white snow wall in progress.
Behind this group of businessmen in white clothes and camels, there are some people wearing black robes and riding horses. The horses under these people are also pure black. From a distance, they look like black conjoined sculptures, which are very beautiful.
and strength.
The bridles, saddles, and stirrups of these black horses were all golden, and the golden light bloomed in the sun, making people dazzling. Even Li Siye couldn't help but be dazzled when he saw these golden accessories.
Who are these people? What are they doing in Congling?
Before Li Siye could think deeply, Su He had already ran out of the cotton field, his legs stepping on the soil, and the expression on his face was unclear whether it was excitement or fear.
The soldiers and women who were sowing the seeds straightened up from the fields and looked at this extremely luxurious team. Their front flag carried the caravan's talisman, but they had never seen anything like this in their many years in Congling.
A wealthy caravan.
The front group rides thirteen white camels. Their hair is whiter than the snow on the snow-capped mountains. Their golden camel bells and golden accessories jingle. The group in the center is made up of thirteen pure black Arabian horses. The group behind them is
There are thirteen yellow camels with bright yellow hair, and the knights riding them are also wearing white robes.
This team lined up in three rows in front of Congling Shouchu City, giving people a clean and pure visual impact. The white is dazzling, the black is elegant, and the yellow and white are well-proportioned. Li Siye's eyes widened in surprise, and he could not recover for a long time.
Come, he said angrily: "Who have I provoked?"
One of the knights riding a black horse and wearing black clothes came out from the crowd and came to the city head. He stretched out his hand and pulled off the white cloth on his face, revealing his slightly melancholy deep eye sockets and pale green beard. This was Muhammad.
Bodereddin Mansoor Abbas.
He raised his hand and pointed to the top of the city and said to the people behind him: "Swear to Allah, this is the warrior who saved our brothers and sisters. He should receive a gift from the Abbas family."
Su He, who stood panting beside Li Siye, whispered with excitement: "I can guarantee that this person is definitely a big food governor!"
