Chapter 135: Two birds with one stone
The Xingtai Ancestral Hall overlooks the Fen River, which is a Fengshui treasure land of Longmen Mountain, and is dedicated to the ancestors of the Jiang family.
A huge portrait in the middle is the ancestor of the first generation of the Jiang family. The official position is not very large, but the small Shang Chengfengyu of the Sui Dynasty. He is a scattered official who receives salary, but it opens up the Jiang family's official career.
Jiang Chu brought his eldest son to the ancestral hall early in the morning. The father and son knelt inside for a whole day, and it was already dusk when they came out.
"To protect the foundation of our ancestors, we will form an alliance with the Mongols today. Our ancestors will definitely understand the painstaking efforts of our descendants. One day, the time is ripe, and we will definitely expel the Tartars and come to worship and tell our ancestors."
After Jiang Chu came out, there was a group of people around the ancestral hall, and there was no trace of guilt on his face.
“Are you ready?”
Jiang Qixun nodded, "Jewelry, iron and food, a total of 300 trucks."
Jiang Chucai looked straight and said, "Since you have made a decision, don't delay, I'll go there in person!"
"This?" Jiang Qixun shook his head and said, "Since you are worried, let your second uncle go."
"No, I am the leader of the clan. Only when I go, can I believe in our sincerity." Jiang Chucai said firmly: "I have decided on this matter, and there is no need to say much. Second Uncle, please contact the people of the White Lotus Sect, echo us, and work together."
Jiang Chu realized that as long as the Mongols agreed to form an alliance, they did not even need to send troops into Hedong, and as long as they were deployed outside Yingzhou, Li Xin would not dare to go anywhere.
He provoked the White Lotus Sect to rebel, which made Chen Shou very worried and it would be no problem to protect his foundation.
In the chaotic times, it is not impossible to let the Mongols come in and cooperate with them to win the Daqi country.
There was really not much time left for Jiang Chucai. Li Xin was agitated by Chen Shou and received twelve imperial edicts in a row. As his sister Li Lingfeng said, he sent troops to Hedong.
It was in summer, when the grassland was warmest, Jiang Chu embarked on the road northward-
Bianliang, Loulan at night snow.
Chen Shou finally finalized the price of each piece of goods with the Tang people. Lin Quan and Zhu Dian wiped their sweat together. This loyal and brave marquis was really difficult to deal with, and he almost didn't give in a penny.
You should know that these high-ranking officials often don’t take small money into consideration.
If that happens, you will be fooled by Qiantang Chamber of Commerce, because you are pricing and there is a slight deviation. After a long-term transaction, it will be an astronomical figure.
They thought that Chen Shou was successful at a young age and should be a person who disdained to care about it, but they did not expect that he was so difficult to deal with it.
Chen Shou smiled and said, "The two are from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and their charm is far better than those of Daqi. However, there are also characteristics here, which are the famous Hu Ji in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Although you two are eating, drinking and having fun in Loulan at night, the cost will be recorded in my account."
Chen Shou generously praised others for their blessings. When did Bayitashi ask him for money, he had all been exploited by him.
However, this Western Region prince didn't care. In his opinion, he couldn't buy back the Karakhan dynasty for much money, and his hope for returning to it lies with Chen Shou.
There was a saying among them, Karakhan: Wealth is a shack that will collapse in ten years; power is a stone temple that will never fall for a thousand years.
Lin Quan smiled and said, "When we came, we had a task, and we must go back and report as soon as possible. We will stay there soon, but we still have to thank the Marquis for the hospitality."
The two of them walked downstairs, their steps were a little vague, but they didn't expect that they would be so tiring to negotiate business with the powerful.
Chen Shou was on the railing and watched the two people get on the carriage. Behind him, Baitash said: "My friend, you have opened a great trade route. The two richest countries are about to start to communicate with each other, which will create huge wealth."
Chen Shou shook his head and said, "A hundred years of confrontation and blockade will not make the North and South a two-country country. We are all just part of this country."
"Do you think it will be unified?" Bayitash's Chinese language has obviously made great progress.
Even with some Kaifeng flavor.
Chen Shou nodded and said in his heart that there must be such a person who will unify the north and south again.
Bayitash was in a good mood. He knew that Chen Shou was short of supplies and could go to the Western Regions to buy horses, but he couldn't buy a lot of food, linen, and cotton.
The closer Chen Shou is to his great cause, the closer he is to his dream of returning to Karakhan.
"Are you going to stay here tonight? I will give you the best room and the most beautiful female slave." Baitash asked.
Chen Shou shook his head. Since he was assassinated twice, he has been much more cautious and never sleeps outside his sphere of influence.
Summer Palace, warm pool.
The night is deep, the curtains are heavy, and four glazed lamps reflect the hot spring bathhouse beautifully.
The circular bathtubs several meters in radius are made of good white marble. The live water emitting hot air flows out from the mouths of four silver carp and slowly pours into the pond.
Concubine Wu stood by the pond, raised her arms gently, and a gauze dress as thin as a cicada's wing floated to the ground. Her enchanting jade body appeared, especially her slender and round thighs, which were pink and sensational.
She untied the extremely gorgeous rose-colored strapless breast, stepped into the bathhouse with her long legs.
The plump, smooth, strong and tense, broke through the waves in the striking and swaying, and sank a large area of dazzling snow into the bottom of the water.
The hot spring water is slippery and the hot air is filled with a plump and symmetrical and delicate body. It seems to be wrapped in her with a layer of fog-made underwear, which adds more color.
A few shiny black hairs were scattered on the water surface. Concubine Wu's body was really charming, and she could only describe it as the word "Damage".
She gently washed her arms, the pool was steaming hot, but her pretty face looked like frost, and she didn't even look at Chen Shou behind her.
Chen Shou got into the water, swam over in a few strokes, and rubbed her back diligently.
"Go away, shameless thing."
Chen Shou found out that she was in a bad mood as soon as he came. After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think about what happened to her.
"What's wrong?"
Concubine Wu glanced at him and asked, "Let me ask you, are you having an affair with Huaishan?"
"No! Absolutely no!" Chen Shou certainly refused to admit it.
Concubine Wu turned her head, punched his chest with a pink fist, and said coquettishly: "You don't admit it yet! I went there that day and you hid under the bed, right? I saw your feet!"
Chen Shou was a little embarrassed and said with a smirk: "Haha, I was showing her palmistry that day, so I was afraid that you would misunderstand it."
"She and my seniority are here, how can you tell me how to face her?"
Chen Shou hurriedly kept her and said, "Follower, in my heart, you are my own. The old guy didn't get you, you are my own, and it has nothing to do with others. You don't have to have other thoughts because of your former identity."
"Really?" Sure enough, the woman lost her ability to think when she heard the sweet words. Concubine Wu blushed and asked in a soft voice.
Chen Shou quickly spoke love words, making her smile
An hour later, the beauty of Chi Zhong opened her arms and hugged Chen Shou's body tightly, and her legs were also tightly tucked with him, just like a vine wrapped around him. Her beautiful face was so happy that it was still hot and hot, and her hot cheeks were tightly snuggled against Chen Shou's chest. He was extremely satisfied when he heard his powerful heartbeat.
