After temporarily delaying He Lou Aoqing's wedding to the Shangyuan Festival, Cui Geng began to dispatch troops, preparing to "steal" He Lou Aoqing out at the time of the Shangyuan Festival.

However, a sudden change greatly changed his original plan.

On this day, Li Yong, who was in charge of the matter, came to visit.

When Cui Geng was the commander of Jiangdu County, he cooperated with Li Shan, a great Confucian and underworld leader, and killed the great enemy Meng Shenshuang. In the process of dealing with the white ~ rabbit royal history Wang Hongyi, he also had a cooperation with Li Shan's son Li Yong, to be precise, he once saved Li Yong's life.

Later, Li Yong was recommended and was named the right pick-up by Wu Zetian. After years of tempering in the sea, now he is an official and a subordinate to the family, although his position is not high and his power is quite heavy.

What is he here for?

Cui Geng replied with the word "please" and ordered Song Genhai to lead Li Yong into the living room.

"Huh? You...... Are you Li Yong? โ€

Cui Geng was sitting well on the chair, but when he saw someone coming, he fell off the chair.

With Song Genhai came in were two people, the one on the left was tall, with several scars on his face, like a ghost, this person Cui Geng didn't know.

The one on the right has gray hair, red and swollen eye circles, and a fierce gaze shaped like a hungry wolf. If it weren't for Song Genhae's previous reminder, if it weren't for the fact that the contours of his cheeks hadn't changed, Cui Geng would never have recognized him as Li Yong.

Poof!

As soon as Li Yong saw Cui Geng, he knelt on the ground, hugged his thighs, and said in a mournful voice: "Revenge!" Avenge! Cui Xiang, you must avenge your father and the dead heroes! โ€

"Wait, you get up first." Cui Geng was puzzled: "What's wrong with Old Man Li Shanli?" โ€

He ...... He had been killed by the slaves. Li Yong cried bitterly: "Including my father, more than 3,000 Tang Dynasty boys were killed by Japanese slaves. โ€

"Huh? More than 3,000 people? โ€

Cui Geng's head "buzzed" for a while, so he fainted on the spot.

In order to exploit the two giant gold and silver mines in Fusang, Li Shan of Yangzhou, Zhang Yuanchang of Quanzhou, Lin Zhixiang and even the five surnamed Qiwang all sent people to Fusang, including the original Xu Jingye's old department, about 3,800 people.

Could it be ...... These 3,800 people have been wiped out?

Cui Geng said in a trembling voice: "Aren't our people in Fusang have a good relationship with the local government?" โ€

The man with a fierce face said hatefully: "It is because the relationship with the government is acceptable that we have not taken much precautions against those Japanese robbers. As a result, they succeeded in sneaking up on them in one fell swoop! More than 2,000 of our men were killed on the spot, and more than 1,000 were captured and finally beheaded for public display. Zai and dozens of brothers broke through by luck, and finally grabbed a boat and ran back. Cui Xiang, you must avenge our people! โ€

"Huh?"

Although he was already prepared, Cui Geng suddenly went from the top of his head to the tips of his toes, and said angrily: "If you can destroy three thousand people at once, it must be the hand of the Fusang Imperial Court." How dare they do that? Aren't you afraid of the retaliation of my Tang court? โ€

Li Yong said: "People die for money, birds die for food, what do they dare not do?" Now our gold and silver mines can get 100,000 taels of gold and 1 million taels of silver a year. What's more, the people we sent were not Tang officials and soldiers, but ordinary people, and the imperial court might not send troops because of this. โ€

"That's not right...... Still not right......"

Cui Geng shook his head slowly and said, "The Fusang people don't know anything about our Tang Dynasty, they send an average of one Tang mission every three years, and each mission has nearly five hundred people. How can you not know the relationship between these people and their own officials and even the five surnames and seven hopes? How could you not know the influence of the official and the five surnames and seven hopes on the Tang Dynasty politics? For the sake of two million yuan a year, he risked the destruction of the country, which is too unreliable. Unless...... Unless they are confident that our Datang is powerless to retaliate against them, but how is that possible? โ€

Li Yong's eyes were red when he heard the bad news, but now he has calmed down. "Could it be, let's do that...... Got known by the Fuso people? โ€

"That'...... What's that? โ€

Cui Geng understood in an instant, at the beginning, Wang Tongjiao, Jinghui and other thirty-two Qingliu were secretly sent to Fusang by themselves. When the Fuso people caught these people, they caught their own handles.

In the minds of the Fusang people, they would never dare to say that the imperial court would send a large army to retaliate, otherwise it would be a situation where both sides would end up.

Of course, they will not take the initiative to open this hole card, otherwise, with the urine nature of Datang, they will be unlucky, and Fusang will inevitably worry about destroying the country.

Cui Geng's face changed slightly, and he said, "It's really possible." This time it was a bad move, and we were taken advantage of by the Japanese people. โ€

Li Yong said anxiously: "Then this mouthful, shall we swallow it?" โ€

"Of course not." Cui Geng's eyes flashed, and he said: "If you can't persuade the imperial court to send an army now, you may not be able to do it in the future." It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. In less than ten years, they will pay a terrible price for what they are doing today. โ€

Li Yong said: "You mean that the crown prince ascended the throne?" But...... What we can think of, Fuso people may not be able to think of, right? โ€

Wang Tongjiao conspired against the case, and it was Li Xian who offended, not Li Chongfu. In fact, if they succeed, they are likely to support Li Chongfu to the throne. Therefore, as long as Li Chongfu ascends the throne, Wang Tongjiao and others will not be able to become Cui Geng's handle at all.

But Li Yong's question is also very reasonable, since the Fusang people dare to do this, they will not be thought-out.

Cui Geng groaned: "But don't worry, Fusang has a thousand calculations, we have certain rules, as long as we have the authority, with the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, this help Sangren will not be able to turn the sky!" โ€

Of course, although Cui Geng kept saying that it was not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. But he is not a gentleman himself, and he really wants to take revenge on weekdays.

Thinking that the Fusang people stabbed themselves with such a knife, but they couldn't take revenge right away, they were really depressed.

There are really a lot of guests here today, just sent Li Yong away, Song Genhai came to report, and Wang Yuanbao asked to see.

In fact, neither Li Yong nor Wang Yuanbao can be regarded as frequent visitors in the mansion of Chu State. Li Yong, as a subordinate in the matter, is a natural opponent of the prime minister, so he naturally wants to avoid suspicion. The gap between Wang Yuanbao's identity and Cui Geng's identity is too big, and he doesn't want to give Cui Geng the impression that he is attached to the flames, so he has nothing to do on weekdays and goes to the Three Treasures Palace.

After entering the living room, after a few words of greeting, Wang Yuanbao coughed lightly and started the topic: "The little brother came this time to ask for something." โ€

"What's the matter?"

"Can you take my little brother to the Golden Jade Tower?"

"Jin Yulou? What's that? โ€

Wang Yuanbao introduced: "This building has only been in Huirenfang for four or five years, and it is a place dedicated to selling slaves and maids. Kunlun slaves, Silla maids, Fusang women, and even Persian and Linyi slaves all have everything. โ€

Dare is a slave trading market.

Cui Geng was not very happy today, and he was even more unhappy when he heard this, and complained: "Can't you just go to this kind of thing yourself?" My dignified Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, accompany you to buy slaves and maids, will the price be dropped? โ€

Wang Yuanbao said aggrievedly: "It's not that the little brother is pampered and arrogant, but without the guidance of the eldest brother, I can't buy the slaves and maids of the Jinyulou." โ€

This time, Cui Gengcai finally became a little interested, and said, "What do you mean?" Could it be that in this golden jade building, money alone can't buy slaves and maids? โ€
