Chapter 505 The True God of the Western Regions

On the golden Silk Road, there is a hub transit city. It is located in the core of the Western Regions. The fertile soil and convenient transportation in the dense watershed have nurtured the people here and brought countless wealth to this land.

This city is the capital of Kangguo - "Samu Jian".

Samuejian was what people called it in the Tang Dynasty. Another name given to it by later history books is famous in history and even in the world - Samarkand.

If it is not too much to say that Tang Chang'an is the most majestic and spectacular city in the world today, and it is not too much to be called the first city in the world; then, as the core city of the Silk Road, Sa Mojian is one of the richest cities in the world.

It is said that more than half of the wealth of all countries throughout the Silk Road is concentrated here. If you gather the wealth carried by the merchants walking here, it is enough to match the Tang Empire!

It is rumored that there is always something exaggerated, but this is enough to see how rich Samakjian is.

At this moment, Wu Mei Niang is driving into the world's first "commercial city" with her huge caravan.

"Son, let's go all the way to this place. What are you going to do?" Su Lianqing, who was sitting in the same car with Wu Mei Niang, looked out of the window and said with a little unpleasure, "There are big noses, green eyes, red hair and blue bearded ghosts everywhere, and there is a smell of sheep on his body. These walls and houses are too strangely built, and it's uncomfortable to look left and right.

Wu Mei Niang, who had been traveling for a long time, looked tired. She tilted up the board and said lightly, "I didn't ask you to follow me."

"Hey, it's not kind of you to say that!" Su Lianqing said an anly, "Isn't it for your safety? I have left my baby son who has been with you for less than three months and came to this damn place for a long journey, and you didn't say a good word to me!"

This sentence seemed to pierce the pain in Wu Mei Niang's heart. She gently frowned and said, "Am I not?"

"I really can't figure it out!" Su Lianqing said, "In the eyes of the businessman, is there nothing else but money? You and Qin Mubai haven't seen each other for more than a year. They have just given birth to their baby son and are only half a year old. Can you bear to leave them and run to these ghost places thousands of miles away to mess around? - I really don't know what you're up to!"

"You will know it later." Wu Mei Niang breathed a sigh of relief, patted the car board and shouted, "Find a Shangyi to settle down as soon as possible. Let's have a good rest!"

"Yes, owner!"

Su Lianqing curled his lips, continued to look out of the window, and muttered, "This place is really lively, more than the West City in Chang'an. The goods on the street are piled up like mountains, and the sea of people can't get through. This is still a period of war - wow, is that Dawanma? How beautiful! I'm going to buy one for the man in my family! - No, two! Host, can you lend me some money? The man in my family has no other hobbies, just likes horses!"

"Ok, don't talk a lot!" Wu Mei Niang said a little impatiently, "Thanks to you, you are also an old man. It's rare and strange! - This trip is special. Don't be wayward!"

"Isn't it just making money from business? What's special?"

"Anyway, don't run around if you have nothing to do. Follow me and don't make trouble! If something happens, I will definitely not care about you. Let's say the ugly words first!"

"Okay, it's up to you!"

After a young man, a large caravan composed of more than 300 cars of Wu's business account lived in a business post opened by a Sugdian.

After getting out of the car, Wu Mei Niang came forward in person, communicated with the housekeepers of Shangyi, and spoke fluent Sogdian. Su Lianqing was confused when she heard this. After Wu Mei Niang finished talking, she asked, "What did you say? Why can't I understand a word?"

"Thanks to you, you have been following me south and north for several years, and you can't even speak Sogdian." Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "I speak Sogdian. The owner of this store is Sogdian, which is what we often call 'Zhaowu nine surnamed Hu people'. If you want to walk on the Silk Road in the Western Regions, you can't understand Sogdian and Sogdian. It's like the official language of our Tang Dynasty. Not only that, even in the Tang Dynasty, there are a large number of Sogdian merchants living together. The Sogdian language and the Su language are all things that merchants must learn. Of course, the exception is for unclimatic hawkers.

"Is it so mysterious?" Su Lianqing turned his eyes and said confusedly, "Zhaowu's nine surnames are Hu? ...Oh, it sounds familiar! It seems that there are many Hu people with the surname of Zhaowu and Jiu in those places in Luoyang, Chang'an!"

"You, you should read more books!" Wu Meiniang shook her head and said with a smile, "Zhaowu Jiu's surname is a descendant of the Dayue clan, and some of them are also of Xiongnu mixed blood left over from the Qin and Han Dynasties." The name 'Zhaowu' comes from Zhaowu City in the Hexi Corridor. It was originally the capital of the Dayue Kingdom. At that time, it was forced by the Xiongnu to move to the west, and the name of the national capital also moved to the west. The original meaning of Zhaowu is 'the capital'. After moving westward, the Dayue Kingdom was gradually divided into nine countries, and Kang was the suzerain of the nine countries. What Zhaowu Jiu surnamed Hu is best at doing business - the capital of Kang in front of him, Sa Mojian, is the place where merchants gather all over the world. If business people don't come to Samojian for a walk, they will spend their lives in vain!"

"It's so complicated, I don't understand!" Su Lianqing curled his lips and said, "All I know is that to do business is to buy and sell cheaply and make money and leave. How can you make it clear that the eight generations of other people's ancestors are not tired?

Wu Mei Niang smiled and said, "If the public wants to do good things, he must first use his tools, and his art of war knows his own and knows that he will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Business is actually the same as fighting a war. If you want to make money from the other party, the other party also wants to make your money. How can you win if you don't know the other party first? As early as I was in business, I wanted to visit the famous Samu Jian. For this reason, I spent several years studying Sogdian and Sogdian. Moreover, even if you do business in the mainland of the Tang Dynasty, you have to deal with the Sogdians. The Sogdians are really a magical, hardworking and quite smart people. Their merchants are all over the world and earn all the world's wealth. Wherever they go, they must be rich. Even in places like Chang'an and Luoyang, Sogdian merchants are also famous figures. Zheng Anshun, the eldest son of the Zheng family, the richest merchant of the Tang Dynasty, had six Sogdians as housekeepers. Everyone can stand alone, which is really amazingly capable. The Sogdians are simply genius businessmen!"

"Wo! It's rare to hear you praise others so much!" Su Lianqing said, "As you say, the Sogdians are really a little great?"

As he was talking, a man came out of the main hall of Shangyi, about 40 years old, wearing a tight white robe with narrow sleeves, a high pointed roll-up hat, a blue-eyed and a high nose, and was greeted with a smile on his face.

"I, Kang Delai, am the shopkeeper of a small shop. I warmly welcome the guests of the Tang Dynasty from afar!" He actually speaks quite fluent Chinese.

"It turned out to be Kang Dong's family. It's polite to Wu Mei Niang." Wu Meiniang returned the gift and smiled, "Kang Dong's Chinese dialect is very fluent, and the Chinese name is also very authentic. You must have been to the Tang Dynasty, right?"

"I have been doing business in Chang'an and Luoyang for more than ten years, which is my second hometown. I have returned to my hometown not long ago. Therefore, when I saw the distinguished guests from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, I was very kind!" Kant said kindly and kindly, "It's better for distinguished guests to come and have a rest in the store first. If there is anything to do, the Wudong family will just order it. Whether you want to contact the government to apply for traffic documents or goods that need to be traded, the small shop can do it for you. As for the cost, please rest assured that any price given by the store is definitely the most fair!"

"Hehe, Kang Dongjia is really good at doing business. Among other things, you have guessed what I want to do next!" Wu Meiniang smiled and said, "Well, let's talk about business later. We are tired of coming from thousands of miles. Let's arrange a room for us to rest first.

"No problem. When Wu Dong's family comes, he is the first guest, please!"

As soon as Kant's voice almost fell, a team of soldiers suddenly rushed in from outside the courtyard. Everyone wears heavy armor, holds a dazzling sword, wears a chicken crown-like martial arts hat on his head, and roars aggressively.

At the scene, the chicken flew and the dog jumped and shouted. Kant was shocked and went up to stop him from shouting, "What's going on? What are you going to do!"

"Get out of here!" The leading military academy pushed him away and shouted, "My king has ordered that all the Han, Shang and Han people in the city built by Samo will be arrested!"

When Wu Mei Niang, Su Lianqing and others heard it, their faces suddenly changed!

"Dear owner, what's going on?"

"I don't know either!" Wu Mei Niang took a deep breath and said, "Sa Mojian is a free trade city. He never refuses merchants from any country to enter or leave. Now he suddenly wants to arrest Han merchants - is it related to war?"

As he spoke, the team of soldiers surrounded Wu Mei Niang and others.

"You are Han Chinese!" The leading military academy pointed a knife at Wu Mei Niang and others and shouted fiercely.

Su Lianqing was about to make trouble. Wu Mei Niang pulled her and held her down. She took a step forward and said in fluent Sogdian, "Exactly. We are officials and businessmen from Lanzhou, Qin Xian Company!"

Wu Mei Niang specially said "Lanzhou" instead of "Chang'an", and she said the four words "Qin Xian Company" a little more.

"Lanzhou, Qin Xian's firm?" The military academy looked at Wu Mei Niang up and down with fierce but very vigilance, and his eyes gradually became more different and colorful, and even swallowed a mouthful.

"At the order of my king, all the Han merchants and Han people in the city built by Samo will be arrested." The voice of the military academy was obviously much softer, and he ambiguously approached Wu Mei Niang. A pair of eyes glanced at Wu Mei Niang's towering chest and lowered his voice and said, "I'm sorry, this beautiful beauty. Me too... follow my orders!"

"Get out of here!" With a sudden scolding, the military academy looked up at the sky and fell down and screamed loudly, which scared the group of soldiers to shout loudly. They raised their knives and guns one after another, and pulled their swords out for a moment!

Su Lianqing shook his body and appeared in front of Wu Mei Niang. Like a ghost, he stretched out his foot and stepped on the chest of the fallen military academy. He didn't know when he had a dagger in his hand. He pressed his throat and shouted, "Let your people disperse, or I will cut your throat!"

Although the military academy can't understand what Su Lianqing is saying, the piercing chill of the dagger has served as a translator.

"Su Lianqing, let him go. We are here to ask for money, not to fight. Wu Mei Niang said calmly and calmly. Next, she changed to Sogdian and said to the sergeants, "Listen clearly. I am Wu Zhao, the owner of the Lanzhou official and businessman Qin Xian. We are not ordinary Chinese businessmen. My intention here is not just to do business, but also other important purposes!"

"What's the purpose?" The fallen military academy got up and stepped back a few steps and asked angrily and carefully.

"You don't deserve to know." Wu Mei Niang proudly squint at the military academy, "Next, I will only talk to your three ministers and the king. If you know it, go back and report it as soon as possible!"

"In Samakjian, there are no businessmen like you who have one thousand or eight hundred!" The military academy was completely angry. He spat with hatred and was ready to draw a knife. He shouted, "Let me inform you. Why are you?! - Brothers, grab it! If there is resistance, let's kill!"

"That's it!--" Wu Mei Niang suddenly shouted loudly, "I can invite hundreds of thousands of troops of Marshal Su Dingfang of the Tang Dynasty! Is it enough?"

"Uh-huh!!--" Dozens of Sogdian soldiers who were about to rush up suddenly settled down as if they had been hit by the fixation method.

The military academy widened its eyes and looked up and down at Wu Mei Niang again, and said, "You... Who are you?"

"Idiot! You messed with the most annoying woman in the world!" Su Lianqing came out angrily in front of the military academy again, pointed to his nose and shouted, "It doesn't matter who she is, it's important to be her man!"

The military academy looked around confusedly, obviously not to understand Su Lianqing's words. Kang Delai, the shopkeeper of Shangyi, hurried forward to translate for him and asked Su Lianqing, who was the man of the female shopkeeper in front of him?

"Listen to me!" Su Lianqing put her hands on her waist, and she was very arrogant and the villain shouted, "Her man is the protection of the Tang Dynasty Anxi - Qin Mubai and Qin Shaoshuai!"

With a "hula", the group of military schools ran and dispersed, and shouted as they ran - "Return to my king quickly!" The envoy of the Tang Dynasty has arrived at Sa Mojian!"

"Wow! Qin Mubai is coming! Su Dingfang is here!"

"Did the Tang Dynasty kill Samak?"

"Lord! Has the disaster of Kangguo come? Please forgive us!"

......

Su Lianqing was stunned and looked back. Wu Mei Niang was also at a loss, and the two shook their heads confusedly together.

On the contrary, Kang Delai, the owner of Shangyi, had already knelt down on his knees and made a big salute to Wu Meiniang and others like a pilgrimage. He said, "It turned out that the son of the true god has arrived!" The son of the true god is here!"

"What, what is the true god?" Su Lianqing asked puzzledly.

"The legend of the true god circulating in Gaochang, Qin Shubao, the old prince of the Tang Dynasty, is the real god of war! It is also the patron saint of all merchants on the Silk Road!" Kang Delai put his hands together and lowered his head and said very devoutly, "I never thought that the Wudong family was the daughter-in-law of the true god! - You can go to every family in Samojian to have a look. All the people are dedicated to the divine position of the true god, just like when every family in the Central Plains celebrates the New Year, there will be the door god of Mr. Qin Lao Linggong on the door. The image!"

Wu Mei Niang and Su Lianqing looked at each other and were stunned for a moment.

Kang Delai added: "In addition, in the past two years, the name of the son of the true god, the young commander of Helong Qin, has shocked the world. Especially after he calmed down Tubo, the big and small countries in the Western Regions have heard his name. Now, there is often the ancestral temple tribute of Qin Shaoshuai next to the true god - in other words, the status of the Qin father and son in the Sogite people is second only to Allah!"
