The Golden Age - Chapter 130
Qin Xiao and Fat Fish looked at each other and knew that Yu Wencheng’s face could be so ugly, so something must have happened.
Yu Wencheng drank out of a cup of tea, before waiting for the fat fish to pour the tea, he picked up the teapot and poured himself, and said to Dapeng: “Dapeng, you talk to them about the situation.” Raised your hands: “Sit down and talk Right.”
Several people sat down around the table, and Dapeng said: “The city of China was burnt by a fire, and the white shopkeeper of Maple Leaf Tower was arrested. Now the situation there is a mess. Someone ran back one after another, but what happened What has not been fully understood.”
Fat fish and others are discolored, but Qin Xiao is puzzled.
“Did you get caught by the Wu Tuo?” the fat fish asked with a frown.
Dapeng nodded and said: “It is said that the Wuduo white wolf king personally ordered it, and it was also the fire that the white wolf riding under the white wolf king’s command.”
Yuwen Chengchao even drank two cups of tea, and then came slowly. Seeing Qin Xiao confused, he understood and explained: “You may not know that although Wu Tuo respects Wu Tuohan King, it is divided into eight parts. The white wolf king is one of the eight parts, using the white wolf as a totem.”
“I have heard of the White Wolf Department.” Qin Xiaodao said: “I heard that the Wutu Khanate is dominated by Wutu people, but it is not just Wutu people in the Khanate.”
“In early days, Wutu was only one of the countries in the Western Regions.” Fat Fish said: “It is said that the Wutu people are related to the Tusun people in the Moxi grassland. At the earliest time, the Wutu people also grazed in Moxi for a living. Later, because of the tribal battles and the continuous natural disasters in the grasslands of Moxi, some small tribes moved westward. Among them, eight small tribes were the main ones. Among the eight tribes, the Wutu tribe had many people. These After people moved to the Western Regions, they would inevitably have to fight for the territory. If they were fighting each other and the sands were scattered, these tribes would have been swallowed up by the countries of the Western Regions, so they were also united at the time, and the Wuduo Department was respected. The Tusun people who moved westward were called Wutu Babu, and they just survived in the Western Region.”
Qin Xiao thought that the fat fish had a dark chest and knew a lot.
“Wu Tu Ba Bu occupies a small piece of land outside the Kunlun Pass. At the beginning, it only survived.” Fat Fish slowly said: “But they can ride good shots, bravely and combatively. After standing firmly, they began to expand around. The tribes of the Western Regions annexed by them, regardless of population or land, are divided by the eight tribes of Wutu, and the land becomes the private property of the eight kings, and the captives become their slaves. The countries of the Western Regions have different minds and did not care much at first. When the little Wutu people discovered that the Wutu people had grown into a threat, instead of fighting together, the nations rushed to ally with Wutu and said that they would become brothers.”
Yuwen Chengchao sneered: “It is the connivance of the countries in the Western Regions that allowed Wu Tuo to grow up to this day.”
“Originally, the Wutu people were also worried that the countries of the Western Regions would work together to deal with them, and their ambitions were still converging. After seeing clearly that these small countries are just sheep, the Wutu people immediately exposed their fangs.” Both the land and the population of the Wutu people have expanded dozens of times and become the most powerful country in the Western Regions. After the founding of the Khan King, Khan, he had a good relationship with China’s Datang, sent envoys to worship, and willingly claimed his position. The trade between the two sides was also flourishing. At the time of prosperity, the caravans in Xiling at that time were endless, but it was much more lively than today.”
“The founding Khan king is the old traitor.” Yu Wencheng said lightly: “Not only will he be suppressed by Datang, but he will take this opportunity to trade with us and develop his strength. Those years The Wutu Khanate lived in harmony with us on the east side, but did not relax in the west side. The siege of the city was known. It was known that it was a dog that would bite people. At that time, Datang should join hands with the countries of the Western Regions. eradicate.”
Fatty Fish said: “The eldest son said so much, but it was a pity that no one in North Korea and China at that time would think that the Wutuhan Congress was a serious trouble for the later.” At that time, our trade with them was very frequent. At that time, the Wu Tuohan Kingdom did not have such a huge territory as it is today. Now the White Wolf King’s territory is where the Wu Tuohan King was. For the harmonious relationship, the old Khan king recruited craftsmen and men, and built a street in the trader city. According to the architectural style of my Datang, carving beams and paintings, that is the city of China.”
“It turns out so.” Qin Xiao really didn’t know much about the past.
No matter what the old Khan king was for, at least in the history of the two countries, there really was a honeymoon period.
“After the second-generation King Khan came to power, he immediately turned his attention to Xiling.” Fatty Fish said: “The chaos of Wutu, the souls are charcoal, and the trade on both sides is naturally interrupted. After the Wutu people returned to the customs, the Kunlun Customs was completely blocked for many years. In time, there was no trade between the two sides.” After a slight pause, he continued: “Both of them will naturally have losses, especially Xiling, and the losses will be great, but the Wutu people will be affected more than Xiling. It is much more serious. So for many years after that, King Wu Tuohan sent people to Beijing to worship the saints several times, hoping to open up trade routes and resume trade.”
“The Khan King’s face is rather thick.” Qin Xiao said lightly: “Can’t grab it. Cheeky and continue to plead for business.”
Yuwen Chengchao also said indifferently: “This is a barbarity, and it is for the sake of profit. As for the face, they don’t care too much.”
“In the Tang Dynasty, the saint’s house was kind-hearted, and King Wu Tuohan repeatedly asked, and the saint remembered the life of the Xiling, and finally decided to open the Kunlun Pass and resume trade.” Fat Fish Road: “In this way, both sides Starting to move around, many merchants also began to trade in various countries in the Western Regions. However, after the war of that year and the blockade of the Kunlun Pass for many years, the Wutu people suffered heavy losses and hoped to restore their vitality through trade. The White Wolf King restored the trade market, The Chinatown of that year was lively again.”
“Where is the white shopkeeper in Maple Leaf Tower?” Qin Xiao asked.
“That’s our people.” Yuwen Chengchao said very directly: “Yuwen’s family opened the Maple Leaf Building in Tang Dynasty. Bai Da’s shopkeeper is our Yuwen’s family official and one of his father’s powerful officers. It’s been four or five years.”
Fat Fish was still puzzled when she saw Qin Xiao, explaining: “Maple Leaf House is a restaurant inn. Many merchants who go to Wutu for business are not accustomed to the accommodation of Wutu people, and they will stay in Maple Leaf House, which is the largest restaurant in Tang Dynasty. “
“Princess, since the Tang Dynasty City is on the site of the White Wolf King, where the trade is booming, it is an important trade market, and it is definitely beneficial to the White Wolf King.” Qin Xiao doubted: “According to the reason, he is too late to protect Why did you send someone to set fire to Chinatown? The white shopkeeper is just the shopkeeper of the restaurant. What is the reason they took the shopkeeper?”
“The strangest thing is here.” Yu Wencheng looked dignified and said: “The biggest trade field outside the customs is in the white wolf king’s enclave. Everyone who knows the Wutu Khanate knows that among the eight parts of Wutu, Bai Because of the trade between the two parties, the wolf tribe has become increasingly powerful, and the White Wolf King has become the real power figure in the Khan country after the King Wu Tuo Khan. The existence of the Tang Dynasty City allows the White Wolf King to collect taxes closely. Despising other tribes, it is no exaggeration to say that the Tang Dynasty City is the cornucopia in the hands of the white wolf king.” His face is even more grim: “I really can’t understand that setting fire to the Tang Dynasty City is for him to smash his own cornucopia. , It doesn’t make sense anyway.”
“The eldest son said yes.” Zhao Yi finally said: “Who in the world can’t get along with the money? When the Tang Dynasty burned, the merchants were too scared to do business. The only thing that could be lost was the white wolf king himself. It’s impossible not to understand.”
“Princess, in addition to the white shopkeeper, who else was arrested?” Qin Xiao thought for a moment, and then asked: “How many people are in the Maple Leaf Building, have all been arrested?”
Yu Wencheng said: “Someone came back the day before yesterday, and reported to my father that the Tang people were burned, but the specific news did not make it clear. Yesterday afternoon, when we were dealing with Ding Zixiu, some people ran back from outside the customs and were in a state of embarrassment. It was Bai Da’s shopkeeper who had been taken away by the white wolf cavalry of the White Wolf King before being burned in the city of Tang. According to his statement, Bai Da’s shopkeeper was taken away in front of his feet. Hundreds of white wolf cavalry set fire to Tang City without any prior notice For any indication, the goods in many shops are too late to be transferred, the fire burns, and people flee in panic. No one knows exactly what happened.”
“Just grabbed the white shopkeeper?” Qin Xiao frowned.
“In addition to the white shopkeeper, it seems that several people have also been arrested, but not the people of Maple Leaf Tower.” Yu Wencheng Zhao thought about it, “Yes, he also saw that the shopkeeper of a drugstore was also taken away, but the drugstore and us Yuwen’s home doesn’t matter…”
“So this time the White Wolf King does not necessarily just go to the Maple Leaf Tower.” Qin Xiaodao said: “Master, the White Wolf King knows that the Maple Leaf Tower is related to the Yuwen family?”
“It should be known.” Yu Wencheng said: “The white shopkeeper has been in Yuwen’s family for many years, and many people are familiar with him. He was ordered by his father to go to the Tang Dynasty City to take care of the Maple Leaf Building. Although there was no big fanfare, there were still many people. “I know.” After a pause, I said, “In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, merchants gather. In addition to our merchants in Xiling, there are also merchants coming from Guanguan. The merchants of the Western Regions are also trading there. It is inevitable that some conflicts will occur, because the merchants in Xiling know that the white shopkeeper of Maple Leaf House is a member of our Yuwen family, so if they encounter any difficulties, they will find the white shopkeeper to deal with it. The white shopkeeper has become the fact that Xiling merchants in Tang Dynasty Leader.”
Qin Xiao nodded and said: “I understand. This incident may not be related to the White Shopkeeper, but it may be related to the Xiling merchants, or the Datang merchants. I also grabbed the white shopkeeper.” Slightly frowned: “He did not hesitate to burn down his cornucopia, but also the white shopkeeper, prince, it seems that what happened this time is really not small.”
