Chapter 110: The Joint Settles Home
Two hours later, Wang Huaqiang changed into Turkic clothes, sat in the underground secret room of Hatler's silk shop in the camel city, drank mare's milk wine, ate cheese, and thought about how to meet An Sui's family over and over again.
This camel city is not really surrounded by camels, but the name of a region, the earliest Xiongnu in the south of the establishment of the royal court was also here area, when the royal court was first built, there was no city outline, and there were many strong winds on the grassland, and the tent alone sometimes could not protect the goods, and the fur and silk were blown away by the wind.
Later, the Huns came up with a way, because the caravan often needs to cross the desert when they come here, and bring a lot of camels, so the Huns simply let these merchants stop around the market area every time they come to the market, squat on the ground, and move the goods to the inside to trade, this method is really useful, the camel is known as the ship of the desert, usually even in the sandstorm can lie firmly on the ground and do not move, for a long time, this place is called the camel city.
Hundreds of years have passed, the Huns have long been gone, the emerging Turks have replaced the Huns steppe overlordship, but the camel city has retained the name of the place, it has become the most prosperous trading market of the Turks, and a two-zhang high loess wall has been built around it, protecting this trade area with a radius of four or five miles, and in this trade area, the loess rammed shops and tents contrast with each other, like dotted with chess.
Hatler silk shop is in the most prosperous alley in this camel city, this is the An Sui family's own shop, the Hatler is an old subordinate who has followed his father for many years, and used to be in charge of logistics in the tribe.
After Wang Huaqiang and Mai Tiezhu finished discussing, he took the clothes bag from the cart, secretly walked to a secluded place, took off his armor and helmet, and changed into this Turkic clothes.
After Wang Huaqiang walked into this Hartler silk shop, he asked to see the boss by name, that Hartler was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a shrewd face, and he looked like an authentic housekeeper, he had already received news from An Sui's family, asking him to receive a member of the Sui Army mission who looked like a five-point Hu man, Wang Huaqiang only mentioned An Suiyu to him, and Hartler led him to the basement of the back store, sent snacks, and asked him to wait.
Wang Huaqiang was thinking about it, and felt a sound of footsteps on the ground above his head, followed by a sound on the stairs, and under the dim light, he saw An Suijia, who had changed into a Turkic official robe, under the guidance of that Hartler, carrying an oil lamp, and slowly walked down the stairs.
Wang Huaqiang stood up, bowed to An Sui's house, and said in a deep voice in Chinese: "Yang Qin, the general in the Xiaoguo Military Palace, has seen An Tutunfa. ”
An Suijia smiled and waved his hand, and also replied in Chinese: "When I met Liu Gongzi, I was only commensurate with brothers, since Brother Yang has become a general in the palace, he must also be the son of the minister, you and I are commensurate with brothers, and we don't have to meet to call the official position, it seems to be a life." ”
Wang Huaqiang nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, but it's up to Brother An's orders." ”
An Suijia sat on a Hu bed, turned his head and said to Hartler: "Uncle Ha, I have important matters to discuss with Brother Yang, you keep an eye on the door, no one is allowed to enter the back store." ”
Hartler nodded, turned and walked out, leaving only the two sitting on the Hu bed in the basement.
An Suijia glanced at Wang Huaqiang, smiled, and said, "Brother Yang doesn't look like a pure Han person, you have Hu blood?" ”
Wang Huaqiang made a sad and indignant look, gritted his teeth and said: "It's not a secret, the younger brother is not surnamed Yang, but surnamed Wei Chi, but a clansman of the Great Zhou loyal minister Wei Chi who rebelled against Yang Jian's old thief before, the old thief killed my patriarch, changed my surname, and pretended to adopt our brother, thinking that I could let me forget this blood feud, hum, don't think about it!"
When An Suijia heard this, his face changed greatly, he stood up, looked at Wang Huaqiang carefully by the light, and sighed: "Brother Yang turned out to be the queen of Zhongliang of the Northern Zhou Dynasty?" Disrespectful!"
Wang Huaqiang said hatefully: "Brother An, when we get along in the future, don't call me Brother Yang, my real surname is Wei Chi, not that the old thief will change his surname." ”
An Suijia nodded, sat back, and said, "Brother Wei Chi, I now understand why Liu Gongzi sent you over. There's no better fit for you. Is there anyone else in your Wei Chi family? ”
Wang Huaqiang sighed: "My father, Wei Chi Chong, was forced by the shape to raise troops without following the patriarch of Wei Chi Hui, and then the old thief Yang Jian deliberately put him on the Turkic border, and my father died in battle in the second year of the emperor's reign, and the three brothers and I became orphans, so they were adopted by the old thief into the palace.
I'm ashamed, if I hadn't met Brother Liu later, I wouldn't have known about this past. The eldest brother Wei Chi Yichen and the younger brother Wei Chi Sien still don't know their family background. ”
An Suijia said with a smile: "I won't say it now, but Brother Wei Chi, since you know your family's blood feud, what are you going to do now?" Brother Liu sent you over this time, saying that he was discussing cooperation with me in depth, what kind of conditions are you going to offer? What do we need to do here? ”
Wang Huaqiang's eyes flashed, he took out a piece of iron ore from his arms, handed it to An Sui's family, and said in a low voice: "This is our sincerity, please Brother An smile first." ”
An Suijia stood up suddenly, and his face changed greatly: "Iron ore? Can you get iron ore? ”
Wang Huaqiang nodded seriously: "In order to show the sincerity of our cooperation, this time we secretly brought more than 100 catties of iron ore samples in the caravan, and the spot of 300,000 catties of iron ore is now smuggled out of the customs and stored in the area of Gouzhu Mountain. ”
An Suijia laughed so much that the two muscles on his face were trembling: "Enough, too enough." Hahaha, I didn't expect Brother Liu's energy to be so big, he could actually make iron ore, and he could make so much, hahaha, this time with these things, the Great Khan will definitely be able to create an army of iron cavalry, and dominate the world, just around the corner!"
An Suijia smiled and smiled, suddenly stopped, a trace of vigilance flashed on his face, but in the blink of an eye, he changed to a smiling expression and asked softly: "Brother Wei Chi, may I ask how you can carry these iron ores in the mission's cargo this time?" The silk is not very heavy, this more than 100 catties are placed on the car, I am afraid that it will be easy to find out, and besides, the Sui Dynasty strictly ordered that pig iron should not be allowed to leave the customs, how can you bring these hundreds of thousands of catties out of the customs? ”
Wang Huaqiang had already prepared in his heart, and smiled slightly: "The iron ore brought by the mission was secretly put on the car with the gorgeous Chen Guo screen, the car is a national treasure, no one dares to check, as for the iron ore out of the customs, our brother Liu has long intended to do this business with Guibang, since a few years ago, he has sent his subordinates to carry iron ore out of the customs in small batches, and we have already bought the guards in Daizhou, so we have saved hundreds of thousands of catties in the past few years." ”
An Suijia hurriedly asked, "What, the guards there in Daizhou have also bought it for you?" So if we attack Daizhou, can you cooperate with the outside world? ”
Wang Huaqiang sighed, his eyes became dim: "Not now, the old thief sent the pillar king who made meritorious contributions to the south to award the history of the contemporary state assassination, the previous generation of state soldiers were transferred to other places, and now he brought a group of his own private soldiers to be responsible for the city defense, because this Wang Xuan dug Chen Baxian's mausoleum this time but was pardoned by the old thief, so he is grateful to the old thief, and he strictly guards it every day, and now he can't take goods from Daizhou." ”
An Suijia patted his thigh hatefully: "It's a pity, once Daizhou is broken, the entire Bingzhou will be a flat river, and it seems that you have to think of another idea." ”
Wang Huaqiang sneered in his heart, pretending to have an indifferent look on his face, and said with a smile: "These are not big problems, Brother Liu has a huge power, if the Turkic army really goes south to restore the country for my Great Zhou, we have a way to respond, by the way, when will I see Princess Qianjin?" ”
