Duli Town, Zeng Hao was busy operating the base area and inspecting the site to prepare for salt cooking.

On this day, Wen Xizheng returned across the sea and brought Yang Liyan's subordinates and more than a dozen business managers in Weibo's area to discuss business matters.

After receiving the letter, Yang Liyan contacted some big merchants privately.

With Wen Xizheng's arrival, Yang Liyan, as an intermediary, made a match.

Merchants are profit-seeking, willing to take risks for profit, and are also good at opening up joints.

After some discussion, it was decided to set off the Fu Ship to the estuary of the Yellow River, and the merchants' river boats entered the sea through the Yellow River to deliver goods.

The merchants asked for the collection of goods from the Liaodong Peninsula, and they asked for them all.

The shipping risk is very high, and it is rare to meet the giant's lucky ship carrying cargo.

Zeng Hao agreed and said that when cooking salt, he needed to trade iron pots and was willing to hire people to work at a high price.

Those who are willing to come will be guaranteed to be sent back for three years, and if they die, they will be subject to military pensions.

The merchants agreed to resell sea salt and make no profits.

A lucky ship set sail, carrying merchants and cargo across the sea toward the mouth of the Yellow River.

The merchants only thought that the person who was doing business was the Prince of Xuantu, the Bohai Kingdom.

Zeng Hao planned to return to the south with five lucky ships, leaving five lucky ships for cross-sea commercial and military maneuverable attacks.

......

The merchants left for two days and suddenly came to the Bohai Kingdom officials for their visit.

Zeng Hao met, the visitor was wearing a Confucian robe, sword-browed eyebrows and tiger-eyed eyes, slender figure, short beard, and thirty or forty years old.

"I, Luo Xiao, pays homage to the general." The visitor bowed respectfully and greeted him.

"Mr. Yang asked you?" Zeng Hao asked gently.

"No, I am from the capital of Bohai. I will verify the sect king Xinfu of Daguangsheng." Luo Xiaozhengrong replied.

Zeng Hao said: "I heard that the sect king Daguangsheng has passed away for more than ten years. The remaining sect king's letters are not important, they are just souvenirs on my head."

Luo Xiao said righteously: "General, please allow me to see."

Zeng Hao nodded, took out the jade pendant and handed it to the guard.

The guard turned around and walked with both hands, and sent him to Luo Xiao.

Luo Xiao reached out to take it and watched it. After turning around, he nodded and said, "It is indeed the Haidongqing Illustrator of King Daguangsheng Sect."

"Hai Dongqing?" Zeng Hao heard the whisper and it turned out that it was not a goshawk.

Luo Xiao said: "Every piece of Hai Dongqing of the Sect King's Trust Talisman has a different attitude. I have specially read the picture album archive."

Zeng Hao nodded and said, "My head is not good at pretending to be a kinship. Go back and tell the King of Bohai that my head is only in Liaodong Peninsula and will not invade the Bohai land."

Luo Xiao said, "General, I may be your cousin of your head."

Zeng Hao was stunned and looked at Luo Xiao speechlessly.

Luo Xiao said: "My father, Chang'an, is a brother of the Daguangsheng Sect. Decades ago, King of Daguangsheng Sect hurried back to the country, and his father accompanied him to the Bohai Kingdom."

Zeng Hao was sore when he heard it, he had to stand up respectfully, waved his hand and said, "Show the seat to Lord Luo."

The guards brought a simple stool.

Luo Xiao bowed: "General, please sit down."

Zeng Hao nodded and sat down.

Luo Xiao sat down and said, "My father had returned to Chang'an. He never thought that his family would be destroyed and his family would be destroyed. He could not find his living relatives, so he had to return to the Bohai Kingdom."

Zeng Hao nodded and asked, "Is the elder brother alive?"

Luo Xiao replied: "My father is alive."

Zeng Hao nodded and said, "I was ordered to take over the Liaodong Peninsula. I didn't expect to see my relatives. I can't make decisions without authorization. Please understand Lord Luo."

Luo Xiao said: "I understand. I ask His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, I really gave the name Da Xuantu."

"Of course it's true." Zeng Hao answered with confidence.

Luo Xiao nodded and said, "The King of Bohai was granted by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. The Kingdom of Bohai has always respected the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the name given by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty can only be recognized by the Bohai Kingdom."

Zeng Hao nodded, and wanted to avoid invasion, strive to jointly govern the Liaodong Peninsula with the Bohai Kingdom, trade and make profits, and target the Khitan militarily.

Luo Xiao also said: "The King of Daguangsheng Sect has no descendants in the Bohai Kingdom, so he was given the grandson named Daxuantu and legally became the incense heir to the King of Daguangsheng Sect."

Zeng Hao was surprised and said, "Mr. Luo, your statement is inappropriate. Let me tell you, my head is unwilling to be involved in the power struggle in the Bohai Kingdom."

Luo Xiao was stunned for a moment and said, "This has nothing to do with fighting for power. The customs of the Bohai Kingdom. Without a son, daughters can pass on their weddings and inherit the incense."

Zeng Hao said: "I cannot be responsible for inheriting the incense. Lord Luo goes back to Bohai Kingdom. Please pass on my family's wishes to not interfere with the Bohai Kingdom's locality."

Luo Xiao said: "General, I will only return to the death if I meet the daughter of the King of Daguangsheng Sect and the general's lord."

Zeng Hao said, "That's far away, you have to go to Chang'an."

"Chang'an? Your head is in Chang'an?" Luo Xiao said.

Zeng Hao said: "My head went to the Hexi Corridor and perhaps returned to Chang'an."

Luo Xiao frowned and said, "Is the daughter of the King of Daguangsheng Sect in Chang'an?"

Zeng Hao replied: "I can't tell you that my biological mother, who was adopted in her cradle, may not know her life experience so far. You can't disturb me before you see my family."

Luo Xiao questioned: "The biological mother does not know her life experience, how do your head knows about her grandfather Da Guangsheng."

Zeng Hao said: "Simple, the adopter was originally a slave from the master's family, and he sold the young lady and jade pendant.

Many years later, the adopted son intended to stick to the powerful and wealthy people and searched for my boss to recognize his relatives, but the officials first discovered it and confessed the truth."

Luo Xiao frowned.

Zeng Hao said again: "The official sent someone to Chang'an to buy jade pendants and reported to my head.

My head, based on the jade pendant goshawk, thought that his grandfather came from the grassland or the Western Regions. Because of the past, he ordered the officials not to prosecute him and gave the adopted son 100 taels of silver."

Luo Xiao thought silently.

Zeng Hao said again: "The Lord went to the Hexi Corridor and remembered the jade pendant that had been covered with dust for many years, so he ordered his subordinates to inquire.

The subordinates reported that there was no official position or person in the Western Regions of Da Guangsheng.

Later, when the Lord arrived in Liangzhou, an official from Qingzhou came to join him. When talking about the geography of the East, the Lord knew that there was a Bohai Kingdom in Haidong, and the royal family had a large surname."

Luo Xiao said: "The general's inconsistency is that the name Da Xuantu is fabricated?"

Zeng Hao said: "The name given by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and the establishment of Xuantu County are true. It was because you were going to meet my head, so I told you a lot."

Luo Xiao said: "The general means that your head is not meeting the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."

Zeng Hao felt that this man was nerdy and said patiently: "My head is in the vassal state and the governor of the vassal state. How could he take risks in person? He sent someone to meet the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and was given a name and title."

Luo Xiao thought something.

Zeng Hao said again: "I respect you and I have said a lot of things that I shouldn't have said."

Luo Xiao bowed: "I need to meet your head, and I will also ask the general to transport me across the sea to the Tang Dynasty."

Zeng Hao said: "The territory across the sea belongs to the Xuanwu Army and Wei Bo Army. The possibility of you being able to pass smoothly is very small."

Luo Xiao said: "I must complete my mission."

Zeng Hao said: "My boat should not be close to the territory of Xuanwu Army. Lord Yang from Duli Town is more suitable to send you to the Jiaodong Peninsula."

Luo Xiao said: "Yang Jian did not have a large cross-sea ship, nor would he support me on a merchant ship. The cost of crossing the sea is expensive."

Zeng Hao said: "Are you coming to verify it privately?"

"No, I take both public and private affairs into consideration, and I will not hide it from the general. The Bohai treasury is empty, and the military pay of the soldiers of the branch are insufficient, so I cannot afford to travel far." Luo Xiao answered honestly.

Zeng Hao was surprised that he was willing to hang out with Luo Xiao, one was to respect the Marquis' relatives, and the other was to achieve a unity between the Bohai Kingdom.

Luo Xiao said again: "Decades ago, the Bohai Kingdom was known as the prosperous country of Haidong, and at that time it was able to trade with the Tang Dynasty.

The wars in the Tang Dynasty caused a sharp decline in trade, and the war between the Bohai Kingdom and the Khitan consumed a lot of money."

Zeng Hao said: "I can make full decisions about trade, and you don't need to go far away to Chang'an."

Luo Xiao said: "I am not responsible for trade. I need to meet your head and the daughter of the Daguangsheng Sect."

Zeng Hao said, "Wait patiently, my merchant ship will return to the south and bring you with you and send you to Chang'an in a roundabout way."

Luo Xiao asked, "Doing to the south? What is the specific location? Is Yangzhou?"

Zeng Hao said, "After Lord Luo set off, he will know. Go back and rest."

Luo Xiao nodded, stood up and bowed: "I thank General General for being kind."

Zeng Hao said: "He came from afar. Since Lord Luo is a relative of my head, I allow me to stay in the army and wait for enough esophageal tubes."

Luo Xiao said righteously: "I'm worried."

Zeng Hao saw Luo Xiao’s ten subordinates, one of them wearing animal skins, naked arms and thighs, holding simple spears, and two carrying bows and arrows.
