Chapter 148 Flying from the sky - 2
"Ah, be careful!" It was not until this time that Zhu Ying exclaimed and grabbed Li Ruobing's arm with both hands.
Li Ruobing also looked at the center of the field in surprise. Mo Qi stood up without looking at the struggling wild boar. He strode to the two of them, greeted Li Ruobing first, and bowed to Zhu Ying and said, "Moqi, Shangluo native, Madam Mu is polite." Zhu Ying was shocked and was still a little dazed. He heard Mo Qi call him "Mrs. Mu", so he saved Li Ruobing's pseudonym "Must Mu" and "Mrs. Mu". A sweet feeling surged in her heart, and Jane Ren said, "Mr. Mo is blessed."
Seeing her dignified and generous manner, Mo Qi was secretly surprised. He didn't expect to meet such a woman in Mobei.
He looked at Li Ruobing with a more clear look. No wonder he had to take her to reunite with such a beautiful person from all the way.
After the three of them met, they walked towards the open space below the valley together.
At this time, the wild boar had already fallen to the ground and motionless. The hunting dog was barking and pounced on it to bite the wild boar's flesh...
It was not until the other hunters drove away that the hunters ran to Mochi again and shook their tails around the master.
"Okay, okay!" Moqi patted the hunting dogs rubbing against his trousers one by one, and smiled, "Don't worry."
He sued Li Ruobing and the others, and took the hunting dog to the wild boar, bent down and cut the wild boar's belly with a dagger. He didn't bother to worry about it. He reached in and took out all the pig's heart, liver and other internal organs to feed it to the hunting dog. The hunting dog barked and surrounded it, leaving only a pair of wild boar's stomach to cook pork belly soup for people to drink. It's not that he is reluctant to let it go, but that it is very particular. The stomach is a food pocket and must not be abandoned or fed to the dog. All the prey's stomach must be eaten.
While several hunters continued to deal with their prey, Mo Qi returned to Li Ruobing and Zhu Ying.
"I am happy to see the hunt, probably that's it," he rubbed his hands and smiled, "I'll tell you to laugh at me, I'll forgive you for your sins."
Li Ruobing and Zhu Ying hurriedly said that there was no need to be like this. Moqi gave them a very strange feeling. He was between thirty or forty years and had a frost on his face, but his muscles and bones were strong and his spirit was very strong. He was just a businessman, but he led a caravan all year round and liked to train dogs to hunt. When he stood next to his prey, he showed a wildness similar to the Monbei barbarians. When he spoke, he followed the etiquette of the Central Plains, as if he was a cynical hermit. When his black pupils looked at the other party, he looked like a real businessman. In short, this was a guy who was invisible to see through at a glance.
None of the people in the Central Plains who were exploring in the northern part of the world are ordinary people.
It was precisely because the Mo family caravan had a strong enough power in Shisuogo that Li Ruobing came to join. The so-called feathers of birds of a feather flocked to Li Ruobing and Zhu Ying. This was the feeling that the Mo family caravan gave Li Ruobing and Zhu Ying. Staying with them seemed closer to the Central Plains. Zhu Ying was a woman, and she only stood by and watched the hunters feeding the hunting dogs with interest. If these hunting dogs were not too fierce, she would also want to touch their heads. Moqi asked Li Ruobing about the scenery in Shangjing with great enthusiasm. Li Ruobing gave him his eloquence and once worked in Duting West Post, and was the most skillful person to treat people. Moqi felt that he was talking all the words and cleverly hidden the real situation of the two in Shangjing.
"I have asked the caravan to take the letter from Brother Mu to Luoyang for the last time."
Li Ruobing's face was happy and hurriedly bowed to thank him. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a letter from home to pay tens of thousands of dollars in this area.
"It's just a matter of raising hands." Mo Qi shook his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "Brother Mu would think about it, just stay and do a mink trade with us?" His voice, which was hoarse because of the year-round shouting to hunting dogs, seemed particularly low when persuading others, with a strange temptation, "Mink is a thing that is more expensive than gold. I think Brother Mu is also a person with great ambitions. Mo dare not let you live in a long time. When will you want to start your own business? Our brothers are also good brothers. As long as you can collect skins from Mobei, Rose and Lumei can eat as many goods. Where can I earn the money there?"
"Mo Dong's family is loving," Li Ruobing said with a smile, "Aren't I here to make a living from my boss?"
He vaguely avoided Mozzi's suggestion, and Mozzi also heard it.
He was silent for a while, looked at Li Ruobing, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Mu, don't say secret words in front of the wise man. Do you have any other relationship with General Zhao of the Marquis of Baoyi?" When Li Ruobing asked him to bring a letter to Luoyang, he said that his clan sister was a maid in the Marquis of Baoyi. At that time, Mo Qi didn't expect him to have him. When he met Li Ruobing this time, he and his wife both had a calm spirit, as if they had seen the world. And he sincerely invited Li Ruobing to do fur business, which was equivalent to pointing out the gold mine to him. If an ordinary person was not moved, Li Ruobing still looked calm and gentle, which made him suspicious.
"Brother Mo was joking, if there was such a strong support," Li Ruobing said with a wry smile, "How could my husband and I live in Mobei?"
"That's right." Mo Qi patted his head and smiled, "Pussy, guess, don't blame me, brother."
He recalled it and felt that the guess just now was too boring.
Who is Zhao Baoyi? Even the Khitan emperor had to avoid three points in front of him. His children were underage, and the state of Song and Xia were both crowned with titles. If the Mu brother had anything to do with Zhao Baoyi, as he said, how could he have been trapped in the Khitan tribe and temporarily hiding himself? As he was a detailed work sent by Zhao Baoyi to the Khitan, how could he have traveled thousands of miles to bring a wife whom I still feel pity. There are always some talented and arrogant people in this world who do not want to live in the underestimate for a long time. If he regards everyone as a strong supporter behind him, he will be too small. Thinking of this, Mo Qi couldn't help but wave his head in an upset.
Seeing his expression, Li Ruobing knew that he had temporarily covered it up and felt relieved.
Looking at Zhu Ying, who was helping to cook water and make pork belly soup not far away, a gentleness appeared in Li Ruobing's eyes. He couldn't help but lower his head and ponder. The relationship between the two, whether in Xia or Song, will not only be ruined, but also bring shame to their family. His father will never accept this daughter-in-law. They were going to escape from the world and could no longer rely on their former identities. Thinking of this, Mo Qi's suggestion just now, it is a feasible solution to be a businessman who is drifting with the flow in anonymous name.
After leaving Annan, the South China Sea Navy sailed along the coast to the west.
During the voyage, I saw the estuaries of several rivers, and also found some shallows and small fishing ports.
Because time was tight, Zhao Xingde had no time to send people to check, nor did he enter the port to moor, so he ordered all ships to avoid shallows and be careful of the reefs. However, the God seemed to be trying to make things difficult for people. The belief at the end of September was not very stable, and it was against the wind for several consecutive days. The navy ships had to go against the wind all day long. The merchant fleet complained because they were delayed by the wind and could not trade on the arbitrary landing. However, Zhao Xingde did not change his mind and sailed to Chameng Port. He allowed the fleet to be moored for two days. While replenishing fresh water for the fleet, the merchants were allowed to go ashore to trade with local merchants.
After capturing the Annan royal family, Dali State submitted a submission to the King of Chameng on behalf of the King of Chameng. The Guardian Government agreed to retain the throne of Chameng. However, the Prime Minister's Office insisted on narrowing the scope of the King of Chameng and gradually realizing land reform in Dali and Chameng. Chameng is the largest city in the south. It used to be like a country in Annan, but was forced to surrender to Annan. When Dali State fought with Annan, the King of Chameng also sent troops to attack Annan from south to north. Although he suffered repeated defeats, he also won the sympathy of Dali State.
The Southwest Sea Navy passed by this place with the power of great victory. The King of Champa was frightened and was personally visiting Zhao Xingde with the officials.
At this time, a large number of merchants were on their way from the mainland. The king of Chameng and the officials of Chameng both persuaded Zhao Xingde to stay in Chameng for a few more days, giving these merchants the opportunity to trade and also giving them the opportunity to get close to the ministers of the State. The large-scale Song fleet has not been here for a long time. The merchants in Chameng had prepared a large number of treasure goods. At this time, they were competing to exchange the long-standing treasure goods such as ivory, rhinoceros horn, agarwood, cinnamon, pepper, pearls and other treasure goods for Yuezhou porcelain, Kaifeng iron, Guanzhong white cloth, Fujian tea, five-color satin, flower and Xuan satin from the southeastern counties, variegated silk, Danshan brocade, etc.
Zhao Xingde politely declined their kindness. He was sure that the South China Sea Navy would leave Chameng in two days. However, in order to respond to the kindness of Chameng King, Zhao Xingde agreed to leave more than a dozen Song merchant ships to berthed in Chameng Harbor. Once the transaction was completed, these merchant ships would return to Song. In order to protect the safety of the merchant ships, he left several squadron warships. At the same time, Zhao Xingde chose a good port near Chameng to build artillery for the squadron warships and merchant ships to berth, as well as the accumulation of goods. Because hundreds of warships from the Southwest Sea Navy were moored in Chameng Harbor, the Chameng King would not agree to Zhao Xingde's kindness.
"You didn't see the face of King Champa. It was as uncomfortable as swallowing a fly."
Ma Yuan laughed at the tents built on the ports. He drank the wine in his glass and laughed three times.
"What a pity," Feng Mi held the wine glass and said with regret: "Since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Central Plains King's Army has stepped on the land of Chameng. This is the first time in hundreds of years. This is the so-called defeating soldiers without fighting! I actually missed it, how sad it is! How sad it is!" He also drank the sugarcane wine in the cup, frowned and smacked his lips. When Zhao Xingde met the Chameng King, he was coordinating the merchants of Song State landing on the landing transactions at the port, so he was unable to witness this good show with his own eyes.
The King of Chameng did not expect that Zhao Xingde directly proposed the request to build a fortress, demarcate the ports and the autonomous area of the Chameng Autonomous Region. In addition, Feng Mi and other naval aides had already formulated a complete plan. The King of Chameng was caught off guard and was inferior to others, so he had to pinch his nose and recognize him. Fortunately, Zhao Xingde also stated that the squadron and artillery garrisons were only responsible for protecting the past business trips and the unobstructed waterways, and did not interfere with the affairs of Chameng. The King of Chameng was a little relieved. The Squadron and Chameng Castle defenders of the South China Sea Navy stationed in Chameng and Chameng Castle were only 1,500 people, which was insignificant to the Chameng army, but the overly powerful Southwest Sea Navy might return to Chameng at any time.
