Chapter One and Three

Biquge www.xbiquge.cc, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Sun Moon Fenghua!Qin Xiao and Fat Fish looked at each other, knowing that it would make Yu Wenchengchao's face so ugly, what must have happened.

Yu Wencheng drank a cup of tea, and instead of waiting for Fat Yu to pour the tea, he picked up the teapot and poured it on himself, and said to Dapeng, "Dapeng, you can tell them about the situation." Raising his hand, "Sit down and talk." Right."

Several people sat down around the table, and Dapeng said: "Tangren City was burned by a fire, and the treasurer of the Maple Leaf Building Bai was arrested. Now the situation there is a mess. Some people ran back one after another, but what happened? What is it, I haven't figured it out yet."

Fat fish and the others were all discolored, but Qin Xiao was a little confused.

"Is it caught by the Wutuo people?" Fat Yu asked with a frown.

Dapeng nodded and said: "It is said that the White Wolf King Wutuo ordered it himself, and it was also the white wolf riding fire set by the White Wolf King."

Yuwen Chengchao drank two cups of tea in a row, and then he came over. Seeing Qin Xiao's face confused, he understood, and explained: "You may not know that although Wu Tuo respects King Wu Tuo Khan, it is divided into eight parts. The White Wolf King is one of the eight parts, with the white wolf as its totem."

"I have also heard of the White Wolf Ministry." Qin Xiao said: "I heard that although the Wutuo Khanate is dominated by the Utuo people, it is not just the Utuo people within the Khanate."

"In the early years, Wutuo was only one of the countries of the Western Regions." Fat Yu said: "It is said that the Wutuo people are related to the Tusun people of the Moxi grassland. In the earliest days, the Wutuo people also graze for a living in Moxi. Later, due to tribal struggles and continuous natural disasters on the Moxi grassland, some small tribes moved westward. Among them, eight small tribes were the main ones. Among the eight tribes, the Wutuo tribe was more powerful. After the people moved to the Western Regions, they would inevitably fight for territory. If they were fighting each other, these tribes would have been swallowed by the Western Regions, so they were united at the time and respected the Wutuo tribe. From then on, this branch The Tusun people who moved west were called Wutuo Babu, and they just survived in the Western Regions."

Qin Xiao thought that Fat Fish had a little black chest and knew a lot.

"Wu Tuo Babu occupies a small piece of land outside the Kunlun Pass, and at the beginning it was only able to survive." Fat fish slowly said: "But they can ride and shoot, bravely and fought, and after standing firm, they began to expand. The Western Regions who were annexed by them, both population and land, were divided by the eight tribes of Wutuo. The land became the private property of the eight tribes, and the captives became their slaves. The thoughts of the Western Regions were different, and they did not pay much attention at the beginning. The little Wutuo people, when they discovered that the Wutuo people had grown and became a threat, instead of uniting and fighting together, the nations rushed to ally with Wutuo, saying what they wanted to be a kingdom of brothers."

Yuwen Chengchao sneered and said: "It is the connivance of the Western Regions that made the Wutuo people grow up to this day."

"Originally, the Wutuo people were worried that the countries of the Western Regions would join forces to deal with them, and their ambitions would still be curtailed. After seeing that those small countries are just sheep, the Wutuo people immediately showed their fangs." Fat fish sighed, "Just over ten years. The Wutuo people have expanded dozens of times in terms of land and population, and become the largest country in the Western Regions. After the founding khan king claimed the Khan, he had a harmonious relationship with the Tang Dynasty. They sent envoys to worship and were willing to become ministers. The trade between the two sides was also flourishing. It was prosperous for a while, and there were endless caravans in Xiling at that time, and it was much more lively than it is now."

"The founding king of Khan is the old treacherous and cunning." Yuwen Chengchao said lightly: "To be a minister to Datang will not only not be suppressed by Datang

Instead, I take this opportunity to continue to trade with Datang and develop our strength.In those years, the Wutuo Khanate lived in harmony with us on the east side, but did not take time off on the west side. I knew that it was a dog that would bite people. Back then, the Tang Dynasty should join forces with the Western countries, flanking Wutuo. People are completely eradicated."

Fat Yu said: "The big young man said very much, but unfortunately, no one in the court at that time would have thought that the Utua Khan Congress would be a confidant later." He waved his hand and said: "Take it far, far. At that time, our trade with them was already very frequent. At that time, the Utua Khanate did not have such a huge territory as it is now. Today, the site of the White Wolf King is the place where Utua Khan was back then. The old Khan king recruited craftsmen and private husbands to build a street in the merchant city. According to the architectural style of my Datang, I carved beams and painted buildings, and that’s the Chinese city."

"So that's it." Qin Xiao really didn't know about this period of time.

Regardless of the purpose of the old Khan king, at least in the history of the two countries, there is really a honeymoon period.

"After the second generation of King Khan came to power, he immediately set his sights on Xiling." Fat Yu said: "The Wutuo's chaos, the lives were frustrated, and the trade on both sides was naturally interrupted. After the Wutuo people returned to the customs, Kunlun Pass was completely sealed off for many years. Time, the trade between the two sides is completely gone." After a short pause, he continued: "If you interrupt trade with them, both sides will naturally lose, especially Xiling, which suffered a great loss, and the Wutuo people were affected by the Xiling. It’s much more serious. So many years after that, King Uth Khan sent people to Beijing several times to worship the saints, hoping to open trade routes and resume trade."

"The Khan King's cheek is very thick." Qin Xiao said lightly: "Can't grab it, cheeky and continue to plead for business."

Yuwen Chengchao also said indifferently: "I am a barbarian, seeking profit with all his heart. As for the face, they don't care very much."

"The Tang Dynasty went to the kingdom, and the saint had a kind heart. King Wutuo Khan repeatedly requested, and the saint thought of the common people in Xiling, and finally made an order to open the Kunlun Pass and resume trade." Fat fish said: "In this way, both sides Starting to move around, many merchants also began to trade in the Western Regions. However, after the war that year, coupled with the blockade of Kunlun Pass for many years, the Wutuo people suffered heavy losses. They also hoped to restore their vitality through trade. The White Wolf King restored the trading market. The Chinese city of that year has become lively again."

"Where is the white shopkeeper in the Maple Leaf Tower?" Qin Xiao asked.

"That's our people." Yuwen Chengchao said very directly: "The Yuwen family opened the Maple Leaf Building in Tangren City. The treasurer Bai Da is the retainer of our Yuwen family and one of the powerful generals under his father. It's been four or five years since Bian."

Seeing Qin Xiao's doubts, Fat Fish explained: "Maple Leaf Tower is a restaurant inn. Many merchants who go to Wutuo for business are not used to the accommodations of Wutuo people, so they will stay in Maple Leaf Tower, which is the largest restaurant in China. "

"Dear Lord, since Tangren City is on the site of the White Wolf King, the trade there is booming, and it is an important trading market, which will definitely benefit the White Wolf King." Qin Xiao doubted: "It is reasonable to say that his protection is too late. , How could you send someone to set the Chinese city on fire? The white shopkeeper is just the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and why did they take away the white shopkeeper?"

"The strangest thing is here." Yuwen Chengchao looked solemn and said: "The largest trading field outside the pass is in the fief of the White Wolf King.

Everyone in the Tuo Khanate knows that among the eight tribes of Wu Tuo, the White Wolf tribe is increasing in strength because of the trade between the two sides, and the White Wolf King has become the real power figure second only to King Wu Tuo Khan in the Khan.The existence of Tangren City makes the White Wolf King close to collecting taxes, which is enough to disregard other tribes. It is no exaggeration to say that Tangren City is the cornucopia in the hands of the White Wolf King."His face is even more stern: "I really don't understand that setting fire to Tangren City is just smashing his cornucopia for him. It doesn't make sense anyway."

"The big young man said that." Dapeng finally said, "Who in this world can't get along with the money? The merchants were too frightened to do business when the Tang Dynasty city burned, and the only loss was the White Wolf King himself. This reasoned him. It's impossible not to understand."

"Grand Prince, besides the treasurer Bai, who else has been arrested?" Qin Xiao thought for a moment before asking, "How many people are there in the Maple Leaf Building, are they all arrested?"

Yuwen Chengchao said: "Someone came back the day before yesterday and reported to his father that the Tang Dynasty was burned, but the specific news did not clarify. Yesterday afternoon, when we were dealing with Ding Zixiu, someone ran back from outside the customs, embarrassed and said It was the shopkeeper Bai who was taken away by the White Wolf King’s white wolf cavalry before it was burned in Tangren City. According to him, the shopkeeper Bai was taken away, and hundreds of white wolf cavalry set fire in Tangren City without prior notice. For any sign, the goods of many shops were too late to be transferred. The fire ignited and people fled in panic. No one knows what happened."

"Only the treasurer Bai was taken away?" Qin Xiao asked with a frown.

"In addition to the white shopkeeper, it seems that several people have also been arrested, but they are not from the Maple Leaf Tower." Yuwen Chengchao thought for a while, "Yes, he also saw the shopkeeper of a pharmacy also being taken away, but the pharmacy and us Yuwen's family is okay...!"

"So this time, the White Wolf King is not necessarily just going to the Maple Leaf Tower." Qin Xiao said: "My son, does the White Wolf King know that Maple Leaf Tower is related to Yuwen's family?"

"You should know." Yuwen Chengchao said, "Treasurer Bai has been in Yuwen's house for many years, and many people are familiar with him. He went to Tangren City to take care of the Maple Leaf Building on the order of his father. Although there is no big fanfare, there are still many people. I know.” After a pause, he said: “Actually, there are many merchants in Tangren City. In addition to our merchants in Xiling, there are also merchants who come from within the pass. Merchants from the Western Regions also trade there. There are a lot of people. It is inevitable that there will be some conflicts. It is precisely because the merchants in Xiling know that the white shopkeeper of the Maple Leaf Building is our Yuwen family, so if they encounter any difficulties, they will find the white shopkeeper to deal with, and the white shopkeeper will become the fact that the Xiling merchants are actually in China. Leader."

Qin Xiao nodded and said: "I understand. This time the accident may not be related to the treasurer Bai, but it may be related to the merchants of Xiling, or to the merchants of the Tang Dynasty. The White Wolf King thinks that the treasurer of the Tang Dynasty is the head of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty. Take the treasurer Bai also away." Frown slightly: "I don't hesitate to burn down my cornucopia, but I also grabbed the treasurer Bai, sir, it seems that what happened this time is not small."
