Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Sure enough, as long as an ambitious person sees a powerful weapon, he will definitely be tempted.

But Xiao Zirong didn't expect that General Luo Shou's understanding of crossbows would be so strange. He would think that Xiao Zirong had performed witchcraft on the crossbows to make these crossbows have such power.

He was really dumbfounded, but he was also relieved.

Since the other party thinks that this is in the category of witchcraft, they know that they cannot buy or sell by force.

Xiao Zirong said: "Of course these crossbows will not be sold, but I have existences similar to these crossbows, but their power is a little less powerful. If General Luo Shou is interested, I can send a batch over."

Da'an didn't get the answer he wanted, and he was very sorry, but he still dutifully went back to convey Xiao Zirong's words.

Jing Shi frowned and said: "Your Highness, the Regent said before that heavy crossbows cannot go abroad."

Not only heavy crossbows can't, but other powerful and precious weapons can't.

Xiao Zirong squinted his eyes and said: "It may be a good thing for us to have a conflict with the Northern Wei Dynasty, not to mention that I don't sell them bursting arrows, I will only give them ordinary arrows. It's just that they may not Just buy it."

If possible, Xiao Zirong is quite interested in the identity of an arms dealer. Well, Xie Da is a good trading partner, but better than him should be Persia or India.

As a nomad, Heda should not be very interested in heavy weapons like heavy crossbows.

Because they don't have a town, this thing is not easy to keep or put away.

The reason why Luo Shou wants to buy a heavy crossbow should be the bursting arrow.

From this point of view, the best sales target for heavy crossbows is actually Persia or India.

It's just that he doesn't need to contact these two countries in person, just send people to contact them directly.

The interpreter is a talent, and it is relatively easy to eat in Persia, so the caravan leader under him can take him there.

As for India, let another caravan leader go.

When he left Qi State, he directly took away the three caravan leaders of Yuxu Trading Company, which made the trading company almost cry at him.

Now it seems that this decision is quite wise, so that he can deal with Xi Da perfectly.

No way, who let the oil only go from the port of Khorasan.

Jing Shi asked curiously: "Master Lang, why didn't that Da'an ask us for help?"

The relationship between Qi State and the Northern Wei Dynasty is a bit tense, but they usually don't do anything to ordinary people, and even lend a helping hand to those who are in trouble abroad.

This Da'an has no intention of asking them to return to the motherland from the beginning to the end.

Xiao Zirong said: "It's hard to guess, he was captured before either by ordinary soldiers or ordinary people, anyway, he is an ordinary person, still living in the war zone, even if he goes back, he may not be able to have a good life , on the contrary, you can also act as an interpreter here, maybe life is better than in the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Anyway, the ancestor of the Northern Wei Dynasty was also Tuoba Xianbei, one of the former nomadic peoples. Da'an should have no problem mixing with the nomadic peoples.

Da'an also seemed to be struggling to express himself, and came over the next day and said, "General Luo Shou wants to see you, and it's at the port."

Xiao Zirong agreed directly. In order to show his solemnity, he specially found out a suit of clothes with red stripes on a black background, in order to look solemn and give himself a little age.

He has a tender face, and at first glance he always looks like he is seventeen or eighteen years old, not at all like a 22-year-old.

Xiao Zirong took Jingshi and ordered a few more Jinling guards to hold firecrackers in their hands.

In the case of being crushed by force, he didn't believe that he could still be tricked.

After Da'an heard that he agreed, he immediately went back to report happily, while Xiao Zirong asked someone to clean up a place in the port, and then put a piano case with an incense burner on it.

The incense in the censer was specially chosen by him to be relatively strong. He didn't like this kind of incense on weekdays, but it was more convenient in the open air.

On the appointed day, Xiao Zirong sat behind the piano case, stretched out his hand and fiddled lightly twice.

The deep and long-lasting timbre of the guqin emanated from his fingertips, faintly floating in the dilapidated port after the war.

When General Luo Shou came, the first thing he saw was the young man sitting there playing the piano. Yes, even though Da'an told him that the beautiful young man in front of him was over twenty, he still felt that the other party looked like a young man.

The young man's expression was calm, as if he was not disturbed by external objects, and the melodious music played out from his fingertips quickly or slowly.

Heda has no words, and correspondingly, there are no beautiful literary works, so he doesn't know how to describe such a scene, he only knows that the young man seems to be completely different from the surroundings.

General Luo Shou stood there in a daze, not daring to take a step forward, for fear of disturbing the opponent and destroying the perfect picture in front of him.

At the end of the song, Xiao Zirong looked up at General Luo Shou and smiled slightly: "Why is the general late?"

General Luo Shou looked at the opponent's black eyes like jewels, and couldn't help but took two steps forward.

Seeing his strange expression, Xiao Zirong couldn't help being vigilant secretly. Jing Shi beside him even moved half a step forward, not hiding his warning.

General Luo Shou came back to his senses because of Jing Shi's movements, turned his head and slapped Da'an with a whip, and said something in his mouth.

Da'an grasped his shoulders and came back to his senses, feeling a little scared for a moment.

He lost his mind just now, and he didn't translate in time, which was a big mistake.

But... It's not his fault, he hasn't seen the other party before, but he knows what those rich businessmen look like - rich businessmen who are not high enough can't raise such outstanding children.

He suspected that this young gentleman might even come from a family of officials.

He suppressed the speculation in his heart, bowed his head and translated Xiao Zirong's words.

General Luo Shou looked at Xiao Zirong. If someone had questioned him like that, he would have passed with a whip, but he was not angry at all when he saw the smiling young man in front of him.

He said, "You are early."

Xiao Zirong didn't bother with him, and the questioning was nothing more than wanting to overwhelm the other party in terms of momentum.

The opponent has just won a battle now, and the prestige of victory is not something ordinary people can bear.

However, Xiao Zirong also judged according to Xiao Xuexing's state after the battle, obviously he overestimated this general Luo Shou.

He asked people to take down the qin, served a jug of fruit wine, stretched out his hand and said, "Please."

General Luo Shou glanced at the zither with some regret, Dama Jindao sat cross-legged and asked, "Why don't you play it?"

When Da'an was translating this sentence, he had a smile on his face, he didn't dare to talk to Xiao Zirong like that.

Fortunately, Xiao Zirong didn't intend to embarrass him, he just said: "Since the general is here, it is natural to talk about business, let's put Fenghuaxueyue aside for now."

Of course, he actually knows this song!

This song was still learned from Xiao Xuexing. When he and Xiao Xuexing got tired of being together, Xiao Xuexing would occasionally play some musical instruments for him to listen to.

At that time, he liked this piece very much, so he pestered Xiao Xuexing to learn it.

It's a pity that he doesn't seem to have much talent in this area, the tune that pops up... just that tune, without any emotion.

It is obviously a lingering song praising love, and sometimes he can give off a murderous air.

As for how he became enlightened later, it is really worth not to mention it, after all, at that time Xiao Xuexing insisted that there was no emotion in his piano sound, and it was because Xiao Zirong didn't feel deeply enough, so he was naturally responsible for making Xiao Zirong feel more.

After accidentally breaking a piano at the cost of feeling enough depth, this piece became the only piece that Xiao Zirong knew and was very good at.

Now it is obviously effective for bluffing people.

General Luo Shou nodded and asked, "Do you want to sell heavy crossbows?"

Xiao Zirong said: "Yes, but the arrows are not like yesterday's. Yesterday's arrows are made of extremely precious objects, and they are also unique secret techniques. Neither the secret technique nor the finished product will be passed on to the outside world."

He originally thought that General Luo Shou would be unhappy, but he nodded and said, "What do you want in exchange?"

Xiao Zirong felt strange in his heart, but he still said: "I need black fire oil in addition to the spices and sugar that are normally traded this time."

Hearing the name of Heihuoyou, General Luo Shou showed a trace of disgust on his face: "That is a cursed thing by God, what do you want it for?"

Well, it seems that Xie Da has suffered from black fire oil.

He smiled and said: "Of course it is useful. If you don't want it, then I will take as many as you have."

General Luo Shou asked: "This thing will pollute the earth, burn everything, and bring disaster to people. What do you want it to do?"

Xiao Zirong said nonsense: "Of course it is to deal with my enemy."

General Luo Shou suddenly asked, "Is it the State of Wei?"

Da'an paused for a moment, and secretly glanced at Xiao Zirong.

Xiao Zirong made no secret of it: "Exactly."

General Luo Shou looked at him thoughtfully: "Who are you from Qi?"

Xiao Zirong said: "It's just ordinary people, but if I can get the black fire oil, I think it will help me to rise to the top."

General Luo Shou said very happily: "The enemy of the enemy is a friend. You can ask for black fire oil, but I need to ask Teller for instructions."

Xiao Zirong picked up his wine glass and said, "I'm waiting for the good news."

After speaking, he covered his mouth with his hand and drank the wine in the glass, while General Luo Shou raised his head boldly and poured the wine into his mouth, got up and was about to leave.

After he walked a few steps, he suddenly looked back at Xiao Zirong and smiled, "I'm afraid we will have many opportunities to meet in the future."

Xiao Zirong was very thankful that he swallowed the wine, otherwise he would have sprayed it out.

The other party's tone and words... the meaning revealed is not very good.

Xiao Zirong thought that he would never see General Luo Shou again and send Jing Shi or someone else to see him.

It turns out that the person who will meet him next time is not General Luo Shou, but Teller in General Luo Shou's mouth.

Teller was about forty years old at first glance, his eyes were dark amber, and he looked like a gentle face that was rare among barbarians, with an open-mindedness that only the elderly could have in his eyes.

Xiao Zirong had a good first impression of him, but even so he did not let go of his vigilance.

Then he heard Teller on the opposite side say: "On behalf of the Khan, I invite you to join my tribe and become the witch of my tribe."

Xiao Zirong: ...

I know you guys have thoughts about me, but I didn't know it was.
