Hou Jie rode a camel here and fled to Yumen Pass, and there were only more than 500 cavalry left around him of 1,500 cavalry, and it is estimated that the rest will be filled in to the Gaochang City Gate except for the few who ran away!

Hou Jie swore secretly while running here: Gaochang little old man, you wait! When the little master comes back, I won't be surnamed Hou if I don't kill you all over the city! And the Yako, wait, you all wait!

Gaochang still has an accident on this road!

It turned out that after the caravan of Gaochang left Yumen Pass, it crossed the first stop of the desert and came to Gaochang!

In addition to silk and spirits, the caravan carried the most perfume! As for the ironware and the stove, I didn't bring it at all!

After arriving in Gaochang, Hou Jie ordered the caravan to rest and recuperate, and personally took twenty small colonels to the city to contact the trade, and prepared a heavy gift to visit the king of Gaochang as a messenger of the Tang Dynasty.

There is no shortage of etiquette, I didn't expect to accept the gift Koi Wentai, but he didn't even let Hou Jie enter the palace gate! Who is Hou Jie? That's the famous gentleman in Chang'an City! Although I learned it well, this is a matter related to Datang's face!

Make Hou Jie angry! If it weren't for someone pulling Hou Jie, he would have the heart to pull the soldiers and horses to attack the city directly! scolded and went back......

Here, Prime Minister Gao Chang said: "King, it's not good to drive away the Tang envoy directly like this!"

Ko Wentai said: "Why is it bad? Our current backer is the Turks! It's not Datang, Datang is powerful, what can he do if we are so far away from him? One is just coming, what can you do if you kill him?

This king is tired, you step aside! Remember that the passing caravans will increase taxes in the future! The money for the Turks has to come from here! The Han people say that it is good to rely on the mountains and eat the mountains, and we will eat the roads by relying on the trade routes! ”

The prime minister didn't have a point, and withdrew with a long sigh......

Here, Hou Jieshang scolded himself: "Gaochang Xiaoer, if it is really as Cheng Hong said, Yelang is arrogant, sooner or later, he will be flattened and let him be called grandpa!" ……”

The group came to the market to contact the buyers, ready to sell perfumes, silk and spirits, Hou Jie felt upset for a while, and took two guards to the restaurant to eat and have fun! It's left to the butler......

"Shopkeeper! Bring me your best dish here! Hou Jie shouted with a sense of anger after entering the door!

The shopkeeper looked at Hou Jie's appearance here, where was he angry and ran here! Hurry up, don't annoy him!

Hurriedly ordered the kitchen to get food!

If you want to say that this person is holding his breath, don't drink, or the more he drinks, the more angry he gets. Hou Jie, who was dizzy and didn't drink, felt that the table next to him was laughing at him, and without saying a word, the big wine jar was over......

After a fight, Hou Jie and his soldiers were arrested and put in prison, and one of the soldiers escaped and went back to report to the housekeeper who was talking about business in the market......

After a while, the chickens and dogs jumped, and it was easy to say that Hou Jie finally got out......

"I said little ancestor, this is not Chang'an, you are pitiful and pity my old bones! If you feel like you're holding your breath, don't go to town, okay? "The housekeeper is here to persuade Hou Jie!

Hou Jie also knew that he was wrong, "Okay, okay!" I'll be careful in the future! ”

The two continued to hang out in Gaochang and talk about business......

On this day, Ko Wentai was idle and bored and asked, "Are there any interesting things lately?" The guard next to him said: "There is really an interesting thing, that Tang envoy was arrested and put in prison on the first day because of the fight, and he was finally bailed out!"

"Oh? Didn't you send him away? Why hasn't he left yet? ”

"Back to the king, they didn't leave! I heard that an accompanying caravan was selling perfumes and spirits, and it was selling very well! I heard that the gold alone has pulled a cart in the past few days! ”

"What? So make money? "As soon as Ko Wentai heard a cart of gold, his eyes turned red! So much? Ko Wentai has been worrying about the lack of a piece of the treasury recently, and this caravan has actually earned a cart of gold in a few days! My eyes were red!

If you don't say it, this man's eyes are red, and his heart is black! Hou Jie didn't know that a conspiracy against him was brewing......

On this day, Hou Jie and the housekeeper are counting the gold! Hou Jie asked, "How many goods are still out of the house?"

The butler replied, "How much is this?" Less than a fifth! It's not easy to sell! It's too expensive! The average person can't afford it! The main thing is that we have to add Gaochang's tax, Gaochang's tax is too high, and it actually pays sixty percent of the tax! ”

Hou Jie said angrily: "It's really a thing that is underdrawn, and I haven't seen sixty percent of the commercial tax in the world!"

The housekeeper shook his head: "Not only that, let's pay sixty percent to buy and pay sixty percent!"

Hou Jie said: "King Gaochang is crazy!"

"Who knows!"

On this day, Hou Jie was about to go to the restaurant, and two guards came outside: "Tang Envoy!" Our king invites you to the palace for a while! ”

Hou Jie didn't want to go at first, ah! If you don't see it, you won't see it, if you say you came to me, why does the little lady serve you? Who do you think you are?

The housekeeper next to him persuaded for a while, Hou Jie thought about it after all, he was in Gaochang to see what the hell he was going to do! So he followed the guards to the palace! I didn't expect to go this time, and I almost threw my life into it......

After hearing that the Tang envoy had earned a cart of gold, he had been planning, and sent guards to inquire for several days, but he still couldn't get around the Tang envoy.

Hou Jie didn't even take anything this time and went directly with the guard, the guard laughed in his heart, you just go, it's you!

After inviting to the palace, Lu Wentai invited Hou Jie to a banquet, and there was no shortage of singing and dancing banquets, and after a period of greetings and three rounds, Lu Wentai asked: "Tang envoy heard that you came with a caravan?"

Hou Jie nodded: "Exactly!" The caravan is not another family, it is organized by the royal family, and it can be regarded as semi-official! ”

"Oh? That's interesting! So can Tang envoy be the master of the caravan? ”

"That's fine!"

"That's good! That's good! I wonder how much cargo the caravan still has? Can I sell it to this king? ”

Hou Jie was stunned: "What?" Gao Chang wants to do this deal? ”

Ko Wentai twisted his beard and nodded: "This king will give you a tael of gold to buy all the goods of your caravan......"

Hou Jie stood up suddenly: "Koji old dog, you deceive people too much!"

"Bold! Take it for me! Lock him up for me, send a message to the caravan of the Tang Dynasty, if we don't hand over the goods tomorrow, we will send troops to level his caravan!" If you dare not hand over tomorrow, this Tang envoy will bring the sacrificial flag! ”

Ignoring the scolding Hou Jie, Li Wentai laughed and drank after receiving it!

The caravan was shocked when they heard the news, they didn't expect Gao Changguo to do such a bastard thing! Arrest the Tang envoy, this is to turn his face! Even Jieli has never detained the messenger!

Steward Hou arranged for the caravan to be on guard, and at the same time threw money around to inquire what was going on! and secretly transferred a hundred guards to prepare secretly, but it was really not possible only to move the soldiers......

Hou Jie was imprisoned here, and after calming down, he secretly thought about his idea!

After looking at Hou Jie, he asked, "Two Lang Jun, why is there no one in this prison?"

The jailer looked up and smirked, "Aren't you!" The prison in Gaochang is just a decoration, and those who come in will either spend money to redeem it on the same day, or cut off their heads the next day! You don't have to think about it, the order is given from above, and it will be cut directly tomorrow! ”

Hou Jie looked at the two drinking jailers and thought to himself: "Jailer! Do you know who I am? ”

The jailer knocked on the cell door with a stick: "Less nonsense!" Don Dog! Tomorrow you will be beheaded, what is your name? ”

"I'm the leader of the Datang caravan! Do you know about the wine? Take my letter and you can go to the Tang Caravan to get the imperial wine! That wine is so delicious! If you do, you don't even drink horse urine now! ”

One of the jailers shouted, "I'm screaming to beat you!" The other patted it: "Tang Dog, what you said is true?" If you lie to me, go back and let you know how powerful you are! ”

Hou Jie stared at him: "I'm afraid you don't dare to go!" You know, this wine costs three times as much gold to get a jar! Maybe this is the chance for you to drink this wine once in your life! I don't ask for anything else, just make me comfortable before I die, and have something to eat! Even if you die, you have to make a fuss about the dead ghosts! ”

The two jailers summed it up, and the wine exchanged for three times the gold had already spread all over Gaochang, let alone drink it! I haven't even smelled it! This time I had a chance to get this wine......

The two of them stomped their feet! Done! One of the jailers threatened: "If you dare to lie to me, I will come back and kill you!"

Hou Jie said: "How dare you! My life is with you! I just want to be a dead man! ”

The jailer took Hou Jie's letter and looked at it twice, and just four words, "Take ten jars of wine"!

The jailer nodded! One stayed to watch Hou Jie, and the other went to get wine......
