Chapter 55 The Khitan People

Just after dawn, Zhu Youning opened his eyes.

Even though he only slept for three hours, Zhu Youning was still in good spirits.The Xuanmen internal strength that the system is practicing all the time will make him energetic.

At this time, Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian were respectively pillowed in his left and right arm sockets, and they both slept soundly in their arms, breathing lightly and very rhythmically.

Zhu Youning found that his two arms were a little numb, but the lingering feeling of the three snuggling together made him feel great.

Well, man, there are very few people who don't feel good about the situation.

Zhu Youning didn't plan to stay in the mansion all day, so he got ready to get up.Because there is still one thing on his mind, which is what Zhong Xiaokui said about Zhang He.

He carefully pulled out his arms, although the movement was subtle, it was still noticed by Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian.

They are also considered martial arts masters. Although they are asleep, they can detect any movement around them.

Therefore, they also woke up.

When they opened their eyes, they were extremely decisive and powerful, but after seeing Zhu Youning, they returned to sleepy eyes.

"My lord, are you awake?"

Zhu Youning nodded and was about to get up.

"I have something to do today, so I got up early."

Miao Chengtian yawned, closed her eyes and stretched lazily, and immediately put her arms around Zhu Youning's neck again, hugging him tightly against Zhu Youning's chest plumply.

"My lord, you are busy with government affairs, and you are almost estranged from our sisters. Can you stay in the mansion today, and what about Zhang He, is it important to us?"

Knowing that they still wanted to talk to him, Zhu Youning said, "Aren't I still doing this for you?"

Xuan Jingtian also got up, and asked puzzledly: "My lord, why are we involved in this again?"

Zhu Youning thought for a while, and said: "I heard that there is a chamber of commerce under the name of Zhang He, which specializes in the sale of medicinal materials. I am thinking about getting some aphrodisiac medicine, so that you can enjoy it more!"

In the end, Miao Chengtian and Xuan Jingtian failed to keep Zhu Youning in the mansion.

As soon as Zhu Youning went out, Zhong Xiaokui jumped out of nowhere and knelt down in front of Zhu Youning.

"Xiao Kui?"

Zhu Youning was a little surprised, "You won't stay here all night, will you?"

Zhong Xiaokui lowered his head and said, "It's the subordinates' job to protect the prince's safety!"

"."

Zhu Youning was speechless for a moment.

He really didn't expect Zhong Xiaokui to be so dedicated, and suddenly he had several thoughts in his mind.

Where did Zhong Xiaokui stay last night?
Did she also hear the crazy voice last night?

"Xiaokui, get up."

"Yes."

Zhong Xiaokui just got up.

As soon as she got up, Zhu Youning looked at her face.

Sure enough, he looked tired.

"Xiaokui, you should be on guard, but you should also pay attention to rest. You are not in a good state and your mind is in a state of confusion. If a strong enemy comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to exert your full strength."

"What the lord said is."

"How about this, the room next to the king's bedroom is reserved for you, and you can rest in that room."

"Thank you, Lord."

Zhong Xiaokui still looked respectful.

Zhu Youning didn't know how much she had listened to, so he simply stopped talking and asked about serious matters.

"Xiaokui, have you found out about Zhang He?"

Zhong Xiaokui clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I have found out. Zhang He, as the cousin of Zhang Chan, the rebel general of Pinglu decades ago, was already in despair when Wang Shifan defeated the rebel general Zhang Chan and succeeded him as the envoy of Pinglu. The local influence of his family was not liquidated by Wang Shifan. Later, after Wang Shifan surrendered to His Majesty, he moved to Luoyang in the name of His Majesty, and this crane was able to take the opportunity to develop again. Moreover, he was able to develop to the present power, in fact, it is the same as Khitan. The assassination department can't get rid of the relationship."

"The Deira tribe of Khitan? What is their connection?"

"They used a chamber of commerce dealing in medicinal materials as a cover, and secretly dealt with each other. Zhang He helped the Diela tribe obtain the supplies they needed, and the Diela tribe provided Zhang He with Khitan cattle, sheep, ginseng, and animal skins."

Zhu Youning was puzzled and said: "This place and Khitan are separated by Lu Long Jiedu envoy Liu Rengong's territory, how did they cross Liu Rengong to make a transaction?"

"Liu Rengong's eldest son, Cangzhou Jiedu envoy Liu Shouwen, has always been friendly with Khitan Tuyuhun. The Khitan caravan came to Ziqing through Cangzhou."

Hearing this, Zhu Youning immediately sighed.

"Liu Rengong is really miserable. The eldest son has such thoughts, and the second son has done things that are against human ethics. I think Liu Rengong will perish soon!"

What Zhu Youning said was against human relations was the adultery between Liu Rengong's second son Liu Shouguang and his concubine Luo Shi.

Because of this incident, Liu Rengong, who was cuckolded, almost beat Liu Shouguang to death, but for the sake of father and son, Liu Rengong finally left Liu Shouguang alive, but severed the father-son relationship with him.

"Your Highness said yes."

Zhong Xiaokui naturally also knew about this embarrassing story that was spread all over the world, but what she said was not the point.

"However, Your Highness, although Zhang He was executed, the Khitan people who contacted him are still in Qingzhou."

"Very good, Xiaokui, let's go! Let's go meet them."

"Yes."

Qingzhou, inside the Zhang Chamber of Commerce.

Zhu Youning saw a group of Khitan people who were being watched.

You don't need a lot of people to talk, so Zhu Youning only met with the Khitan who was the most distinguished among them.

Unexpectedly, when this Khitan man saw Zhu Youning, his attitude was very unruly.

"Are you the new official in Qingzhou City?"

Zhong Xiaokui's eyes froze, and he shouted: "Bold, dare to utter wild words in front of Your Highness, and don't kneel down!"

The Khitan did not lower his proud head at all, nor did he lower his body to kneel, but instead said: "We Khitan are the people of the heavens. Apart from the sky, we only kneel to our Khan!"

Zhong Xiaokui sneered: "Here, our prince is the sky!"

After all, the Khitan man must be forced to kneel down.

"That's it."

Zhu Youning was not as knowledgeable as he was. He waved to Zhong Xiaokui to signal him to back off, and then said to the Khitan: "This king can continue to cooperate with you in place of Zhang He. Let me tell you about your conditions."

The Khitan man took a look at Zhu Youning, as if he was confirming whether Zhu Youning was the one who was talking, and said after a while: "If you want to cooperate, you can give us food and silk, and we will give you ginseng and animal skins!"

Zhu Youning shook his head, and said again: "We don't want animal skins, we want horses, war horses!"

"impossible!"

The Khitan man heard this and vetoed it on the spot.

"A horse in the grassland can only be harnessed by a brave man in the grassland!"

Zhu Youning immediately sneered and said, "It seems that you haven't figured out your situation! Xiaokui!"

Zhong Xiaokui immediately wrapped the Khitan man with underworld silk, and increased the force appropriately, as if he would be strangled in the next moment.

The Khitan man felt the tightness all over his body and the coldness on his skin, finally he was a little scared, and said: "I can't decide this matter, we need the consent of our Khan."

Zhu Youning asked: "Is your khan Yale Abaoji?"

When Yelu Abaoji was mentioned, the Khitan raised his head again and said proudly: "That's right, Yelu Abaoji is our Khitan leader, our khan!"

Zhu Youning said: "How can I contact your Khan?"

"Our Khan will go back to the Central Plains every three months, and next month is when he will come to Qingzhou."
