Liu Xin frowned unconsciously. Anything is fine with this spit. People are loyal enough. Only doubt that all the faults have to be corrected. What kind of free lunch is the condition that I offer myself? It is clearly a husband's care for his wife. It is a gift from a father to his son. In Liu Xin's view. These gifts are far from enough to make up for their debt to them. How could there be another picture.
suddenly. But I heard Ban Thio'er sitting next to Liu Xin say: "The country's prime minister makes sense. Although our Kangju is small, we can't afford to suffer without merit. Your Majesty, the Emperor of Han. Tell me. You can just ask for any conditions. "
Liu Xin knew that Ban Taoer was a strong person. She said this because she didn't want to take advantage of herself. Can not help but ponder: "Actually, you are all wrong. This is not my gift. It is a mutually beneficial thing. The silk, porcelain and tea provided to you are not free of money. It is just a little bit of money. Kangju is a caravan. An important passage to the west. I give you these things at a fair price. It is to better promote the treasures of our big man to the West. Only then can we sell more things and make more money."
Tuyabai shook his head like a rattle. Repeatedly said: "Your Majesty doesn't make sense. Silk and porcelain are already in short supply. There is no need to worry about sales at all. Propaganda is needed wherever they are. Besides. What's the explanation for those 30,000 soldiers
Although this tuyebai is pedantic. But not stupid. Just one word tells the truth. What's more "cunning" is that he doesn't mention tea at all. Obviously, I am very concerned about tea, a good thing that money can't buy.
Liu Xin smiled. Said: "Teach Yeby. Think about it. Kangju's merchants have been doing well recently."
Tuyebai shook his head. Said: "Day after day of war in chaos. How can it be better?"
Liu Xin nodded and said: "That's right. The safety of Kangju is directly related to the prosperity of commercial roads. Therefore, I will not only provide 30,000 soldiers. I will also help you train a powerful army. To me, the big man. Say. There are advantages and no disadvantages."
Of course Tuyebai could not accept such advanced ideas. He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty. Although Kangju is small, he can't receive this favor for no reason."
Liu Xin waved impatiently. Said: "Tute Yeby. Is Kang Ju now in charge of you or the Queen Mother."
Tuyebai heard Liu Xin's deceptive words. Surprised. Hurriedly fell to the ground. Said loudly: "Naturally, the queen mother is in charge. The ministers dare not master themselves."
Ban Tuer raised his hand. He said: "Please get up soon, the prime minister of the country. I know your loyalty. But these materials and armor are indeed what I urgently need in Kangju. According to the view of the prime minister. How can I accept the kindness of the emperor?"
The situation in Kangjuguo is somewhat similar to that of the Xiongnu and Xianbei on the grasslands. A large number of herders are qualified fighters. But there is no uniform training. The only more systematic army in the country is the 10,000 cavalry led by Alustein. This is also the fact that the army on the side of Banshou has the upper hand each time. The results were the main reason for the defeat by Alystein. If you can get 30,000 soldiers from Dahan. Organize a standing army of about 20,000 people. Ban Thiouer can gain a firm foothold.
Tuyebai also understands this truth. After listening to the words of Ban Thie. Pondered for a long while. Just then he said: "As seen by the old minister. My Kangju and the great Han form an alliance of monarchs and ministers. I become a country of father and son. Then I receive gifts from the great man. I can feel at ease."
in fact. Tuyebai wanted to get these things too. Especially the five hundred catties of tea. Even if you don’t drink it yourself. It's all real money when it changes hands. All he considers is how to make himself pay the minimum price. He didn't believe that the Han people could be so generous. Tuyebai also has a small caravan himself. Been to Wuji City twice. Have had a lot of dealings with Han people. Know something about Han people. I know that the Han people have a good face.
Tuyabai is very shrewd. What he pays attention to is practical interests. Don't care about those fictitious names. Besides, Dahan was already much stronger than Kangju. There is nothing great about claiming tribute. As long as you can get some benefits. As for the alliance of monarchs and ministers, it is also good. No matter the country of father and son. It's just a verbal agreement. There is no actual loss. Put the words first yourself. So that the Han people will not ask for other conditions at that time.
Hearing the words of Tuyabai. The look on Liu Xin's face is very strange. It took a long time to say: "Okay. The country of father and son is the country of father and son. I will leave another ten thousand soldiers here. I will help you guard against Guishuang and eliminate the remaining party of Murza. Your country only needs to bear food and supplies. I will take photos. Market price payment."
Feng Too'er also held back a smile. He waved his hand and said: "If that's the case. Then it's settled. I have something to discuss with His Majesty the Han Emperor. You are all separated.
Everyone rushed out of the palace. Although these ministers and nobles all had their own residences in the city of Beitian. But they don't live here most of the time. In addition to having their own pasture. Many people also run caravans. The caravan is their most profitable business.
There are always wars these days. The caravan dare not go out. The losses of each family are not small. Now we see the hope of ending the war. They can't wait to rush home. Reorganize the caravan. In addition. They also need to find a place to discuss it. How to distribute these cheap materials provided by Liu Xin.
These materials were provided to Kang Juguo in name. But everyone understands. Such a big piece of interest. It cannot be eaten by the royal family. And the royal family now has the two mothers and sons left. Everyone just needs to maintain the authority of the two mothers and children. Their mother and son will not care about these materials with others.
Saw everyone leaving. Liu Xin finally laughed out loud. Said: "This Tuyabai is really funny. He doesn't see anything."
Ban Tuer lifted his veil. He glanced at him for nothing. Said: "What an interesting person. I can let him be the prime minister. He has something that is not easy. This tuyebai is quite intelligent. I think he is willing to be a minister. I am afraid that he will ask for more benefits in the future. You Be prepared."
Liu Xin smiled and said, "As long as they continue to support your mother and son. It's nothing for me to have a little blood. But I am not a fool to be slaughtered. He wants the lion to open his mouth. I will not agree. Okay. Take me. Go and see the injured girls."
Although Liu Xin had already explained his affairs with Liya and sisters Kleia. But Ban Thiouer was still a little uncomfortable. Tweaked for a long time. Still took Liu Xin to the back. in fact. Liu Xin should have come to visit the three of them last night. It was just getting late at the time. For one thing, I don't want to affect their rest. Secondly, Liu Xin also had a lot to ask Ban Thioe. Just give up.
At the door. Liu Xin suddenly stopped Ban Thie. Said: "Cover the veil."
Ban Thiouer opened the door. Is preparing to go in. Unconsciously said: "Why."
Liu Xin winked. Said: "You are the black whirlwind now."
Only then did Ban Thioe remember what Liu Xin said last night. Although there is still a bit of unbelief in my heart. Still obediently cover the veil. He pulled down the black scarf wrapped around his head again. Suddenly he said with a thick throat: "Your Majesty. Please go inside."
Liu Xin nodded approvingly. Lifted his foot into the room. I saw that Liya and the others had all changed into women's clothing. Sat up.
A thick white cloth was wrapped around Liya's arm. Although it was a new one when I got up in the morning. You can still see traces of blood oozing out. Sister Kleia was always injured. He didn't care about his face. But Liu Xin could still tell. Kleia's face was extremely pale. Obviously a bit too much blood loss. And Maria had a long scar on her face. The expression is also a bit lonely.
Liu Xin didn't expect several girls to be hurt so badly. Can't help but feel distressed. Said: "You have suffered. I should come and see you soon."
Kleia got up and said, "Master. We are all right."
Suddenly, Ban Touer said loudly, "Sit down. Be careful of the wound."
I heard Ben secretly talking. Liya and Maria also stood up. Maria asked vigilantly: "Who are you?"
original. Ban Tooer was in this costume yesterday. Kleia and others saw her come in. Know that she is the queen of Kangju. Hear her now. Can't help but be surprised.
Liu Xin waved her hand. Said to Liya: "He is the person you have always wanted to meet."
Suddenly, Ban Taoer twisted his waist. The whole person rose into the air. Flew over the crowd directly. The action is faster than lightning. Sister Kleia is the best female gladiator. Skill is also extremely flexible. But compared with Ban Thiouer's effortless effort. Naturally, it is far from it. They didn't even see the movement of Ban Stealer.
Liya's eyes widened. Covering his mouth with one hand. Surprised and delighted. Say loudly: "You. You. You are the black whirlwind."
This series of actions by Ban Thiouer was the same as the one when she assassinated Liu Xin in the Shanshan Palace. It's exactly the same. The heroic appearance of the black whirlwind at that time. I don't know how many times it played back in Liya's mind. So Liya recognized it at a glance.
Talking. Banto'er has landed in front of them lightly. He tore off the black veil covering his face.
Sisters Kleia all exclaimed, "Queen."
Liya first stood still on the spot. Immediately he shouted hysterically: "No. This is not true. You must have colluded to lie to me."
In any case, she would not accept such a fact. The person she had always secretly admired turned out to be a woman. The joy came too quickly. Go faster. The contrast is so great. Let Liya lose an inch.
Sister Kleia looked at each other. Liya looked at the startled Liya inexplicably. I don't understand this princess who has always been cheerful. what is it today.
Liu Xin also didn't expect Liya to have such a strong reaction after knowing the truth of the matter. Suddenly at a loss. It's not comfort either. It's not comforting or not. I knew it so long ago. It's better to keep hiding from her.
But Ban Thioe was quite calm. She stepped forward. Holding Liya's hand. Said: "Do you feel a little disappointed. But. The truth will come to light one day. It's better to be late than early. You should be one more sister."
