Chapter 163: Lao Tzu is a history of assassination
Hearing this, Li Hao hurriedly raised his sleeve to wipe away the nosebleed, and said with a dry smile: "It's nothing, the weather is dry, and it's on fire." ”
Qin Su asked with a worried face: "Do you want to join the army to cook some soup for you, or call the military doctor to take a look at it for you......
"No, you don't." Li Hao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Come, let's continue to talk about underwear, women can not only wear underwear, but also underwear, that is, bras, do you know what bras mean, hehe, hehe......" Li Hao couldn't help it when he said this, his two eyes stared directly at Qin Su's chest, and he also let out a lewd laugh.
Qin Su suddenly became nervous, instinctively hugged his chest and took a step back, with a scared expression, Li Hao restrained his lewd smile a little, took out a pencil head and a piece of paper, and drew on the paper, he was an art student in high school, he studied sketching and sketching, although he had been shelved for many years, but his skills were still there, and he succeeded in drawing after only a while, and handed the paper to Qin Su to see, Qin Su only glanced at it, and then covered his eyes with an exclamation, and his whole face was red to the back of his ears, because the paper was drawn by Qin Su, And it was Qin Su in a bikini, no wonder he was ashamed like this.
"Childe, you're so bad!" Qin Su screamed in disgust, covered his face and fled as if he were leaving.
Li Hao watched her leave with a smile, looked at the painting on the paper, and continued to dance with his eyebrows: "Why didn't I think of it earlier, bikini, hehe, hehehe......"
Li Hao's luck was good, two days later, he actually met a caravan of more than 200 people, the owner of the caravan was a forty-year-old Persian Hu merchant, called Shi Najie, from talking with him, he knew that he was a Tang fan, very much love and yearning for the Tang Dynasty, so he gave himself a Tang name, and this name has been used for more than 20 years, so that he almost forgot his original name.
Shi Najie also admires Li Hao very much, because Li Hao is a Tang official, and he became a thorn at the age of eighteen, how powerful is this, can he not worship it, he was instantly a fan of Li Hao, seeing such a foreigner who admires Tang and Han, Li Hao likes it very much, and promised to let him walk with his army and talk to him all the way.
The exchange with Shi Najie made Li Hao gain a lot, Shi Najie followed his father to the Central Plains to do business at the age of sixteen, of course, there was no Tang Dynasty at that time, he was deeply attracted by the culture of the Central Plains, and then every time his father went out to business, he would follow his father to the Central Plains, in order to appreciate the profound culture of the Central Plains, it has been nearly 30 years, and he is regarded as a backbone businessman of the Silk Road.
Li Hao asked him about his experience of walking the Silk Road, and Shi Najie's answer was very simple, only two words: "Don't be greedy." ”
Although his caravan is only more than 200 people, he spent a lot of money to hire two hundred elite guards, even if he encounters horse thieves, he can escape with his whole body, and when he encounters Gaochang's exploitation, he obediently sends a generous gift, each time he goes out to business, it generally takes more than a year, and sometimes he only earns one or two hundred taels of gold, which is really too little for a big businessman, but he is not greedy, because sometimes he is lucky, and he can earn one or two thousand taels of gold back and forth, anyway, no matter how much, he is very content, because he is not greedy, just so thin and long, very good. If it weren't for the pressure of the Persian aristocracy, he would have dragged his family to settle in the Tang Dynasty and become the Tang Dynasty he had longed for.
After listening to Shi Najie's narration, Li Hao stroked his palm and laughed: "Shi Najie, you are really very spiritual, others are bent on making money, but in the end they gave their lives, you are not greedy, but you are a long stream, you really have the intention to plant flowers and flowers, and you have no intention of planting willows and willows, you should really let other caravans learn from you." ”
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed." Shi Najie smiled and said, "In fact, recently the Tang Dynasty has come out with a new thing, called glass, this glass is really a magical thing, the mirror made with it can reflect the hair on the face, and the cups and bottles made with it are exquisite, I stayed in Chang'an for more than half a year this time, acquired a lot of glass products, and brought them back to Persia, I will definitely make a good profit for those nobles, and the Gaochang people have never seen glass, they don't know its value, and this time they have also stripped it less, as long as they pass the level of Tingzhou, everything will be fine." ”
"Haha." Li Hao smiled when he heard this, "Then you have made a lot of money this time, I am the Tingzhou Thorn History, I will not indiscriminately exploit the caravan, glass products are good things, and they will definitely be sold at a good price in Persia." ”
"Thank you, Lord Thorn Shi, and accept the good words of Lord Thorn Shi." Shi Najie was extremely happy when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him.
Li Hao looked at Shi Najie, suddenly had the heart to solicit, his business is doing more and more, getting bigger and bigger, there will be more business to take care of in the future, there is a serious lack of business masters around him, this Shi Najie is both shrewd and human, not very greedy, is a businessman with feelings, and proficient in many Chinese languages in the Western Regions, the most important thing is that he admires himself very much, it is really good to recruit him to be his own business manager, but before that, you must get along with him well, want him to be loyal to yourself, You have to get him to be grateful first.
Li Hao thought about it for a while, then thought about it, and said with a smile: "Shi Najie, after you arrive in Tingzhou, don't be in a hurry to leave, let me do my best to be a landlord and entertain you well." ”
Shi Najie was flattered when he heard this, and he agreed excitedly, and then, Li Hao began to knock on the bamboo pole to Shi Najie, what kind of bamboo pole, silk, from the Tang Dynasty back to Persia, how could he not bring silk back, Datang silk is a good thing, Shi Najie heard that Li Hao wanted silk, and quickly gave all the three hundred pieces of silk he brought to Li Hao, Li Hao had to marvel that this guy is really good at being a man, as soon as he shot it, he was three hundred pieces of silk, and he didn't blink an eye.
Of course Li Hao couldn't ask for it, he just picked one horse from each of them, and took a total of five horses, looking at these silks, he seemed to have seen four beautiful women standing in front of him in bikinis, so there was a picture of Li Hao holding silk with a lewd smile on his face, which made Shi Najie stand there stunned, at a loss.
After another day, I finally crossed the Tianshan Mountains, and then although it was not a broad road, the trip was much faster, and what made Li Hao feel more gratifying was that there was no longer a desert next, that is, a relatively desolate Gobi land, with more gravel, less coarse sand, and occasionally encountered some green plants, which was really happy.
Two days later, he finally arrived in Tingzhou, standing on a desolate small dirt slope five miles away, looking at the low Tingzhou City, Li Hao's good mood disappeared in an instant, he couldn't believe that this was a city, the low earthen wall was not much higher than the courtyard wall of his house, and it was not big, it looked like an old man in his old age, and he felt that the city wall could collapse with a soak of urine.
"My lord, I'm in Tingzhou." Peng Hai saw that he was stunned and walked over to remind.
Li Hao waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go back to Chang'an." ”
When everyone heard this, their eyebrows immediately began to dance, and this thing came again.
Li Hao was about to turn the horse's head, but no one came to stop him, and he was suddenly unhappy, no one cooperated with him in the performance, he could only smack his lips helplessly, and then weakly led everyone towards Tingzhou City.
Seeing a large group of people approaching, the city guard of Tingzhou ordered the city gate to be closed, and the whole city was under martial law.
Not long after, a leader in leather armor walked up to the tower, held the battlements and shouted down, "Who is under the city?" ”
Li Hao looked at this person carefully, it seemed a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, and after thinking about it carefully, he suddenly remembered, and stepped forward and shouted: "Wang Yuantai, why are you in Tingzhou!" ”
That's right, the people on the city tower were the halberd Sige Wang Yuantai that Li Hao met when he was in Huliu Village, but he didn't expect him to be transferred to Tingzhou.
Wang Yuantai was surprised when he saw that the young man in the city actually called out his name, and immediately looked at it carefully, and immediately shouted in surprise: "Li Hao, it's you, it's really you, why did you come to Tingzhou?" ”
Li Hao said angrily: "Lao Tzu was ordered to come to the post, do you think I want to come to this ghost place, open the city gate quickly!" ”
Wang Yuantai shook his head and said: "No, Cao Beijia said it, if he doesn't come back, he can't let anyone enter the city." ”
"What Cao don't drive, Lao Tzu doesn't care, you open the city gate for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to enter the city!" Li Hao shouted angrily
"Let you in." Wang Yuantai shook his head and shouted, "But you can only bring ten people in, and the group of people behind you are not allowed to enter the city." ”
"What! Ten people? Li Hao pointed at Wang Yuantai and shouted, "Believe it or not, I rushed up and beat you!" ”
Wang Yuantai said: "There are only ten people, you have so many people with you, how do I know what your intentions are?" ”
Li Hao crossed his waist angrily when he heard this: "What's wrong with the number of people Lao Tzu brings, open your eyes and look at it, this is the right Xiaowei, five hundred right Xiaowei, do you know the right Xiaowei!" ”
Peng Hai stepped forward at this time and arched his hand: "The general on the city tower, I am Peng Hai, the general of the right Xiaowei Zhonglang, and I am ordered to escort Lord Li to Tingzhou to take up his post, this is my military token." As he spoke, he took out his token from his bosom and showed it to Wang Yuantai.
Wang Yuantai was suddenly dizzy, he didn't expect Li Hao to be so good, he actually let the right Xiaowei escort to take office, and hurriedly asked in surprise: "Li Hao, what kind of official are you now, you can actually lead the troops, and you are still five hundred right Xiaowei, and the right Xiaowei Zhonglang will personally lead the troops to escort you?" ”
Li Hao glared and snorted angrily when he heard this: "Lao Tzu is your top boss!" The one at the top! ”
"Ahh Wang Yuantai glared at him when he heard this, and exclaimed, "You are actually the newly appointed Lieutenant of Zhichong?" ”
He was born as a soldier, and the first thing that came to mind was naturally Captain Zhichong, and Li Hao was indeed Captain Zhichong.
"It's good to know!" Li Hao snorted angrily, "Hurry up and open the city gate for me!" ”
"Still won't work!" Wang Yuantai continued to shake his head, "Even if you are the commander of Zhichong, Cao Bei has an order not to let anyone enter the city, not even a caravan, so you still let the other horses stay outside the city, and you bring ten followers into the city." ”
"Hey! I'm grumpy! Li Hao was so angry that he jumped off the horse, paced back and forth, and pointed at Wang Yuantai, "You can't open it, you can't open it!" ”
Wang Yuantai stiffened his neck and shouted: "I won't open it!" You can only bring ten people in, this is Cao Beijia's order. ”
"Cao don't drive, Cao don't drive, Cao he! He's not a big deal! Li Hao glared and shouted, "Lao Tzu is the history of thorns, the history of Tingzhou thorns, and I am the biggest in Tingzhou!" I've got the final say! Open the gates for me! ”
"Huh?" Wang Yuantai was suddenly stunned, blinked, looked at a soldier beside him, and asked, "What did he just say?" ”
"He said he was a Tingzhou assassin." The soldier replied weakly.
