The ace special forces of the Sui Dynasty

In the center of the high platform sat a few Hu people dressed as merchants, and the one in the middle was Wang Shichong, who hadn't shown up for a long time.Although Wang Shichong made some changes at this time, through the binoculars, Wang Yufeng still recognized her longing father at a glance.There were no photos in this era. Over the years, Wang Shichong's image has changed greatly, and in the eyes of Han people, the appearance of Hu people is not much different, and it is difficult to distinguish them for a while.However, Wang Yufeng thought about her father day and night, and only recognized him at a glance.

After hearing the news about his daughter, Wang Shichong couldn't fall asleep for several nights. Even without Li Shimin's fanning the flames, he still had to come to Luoyang to see how his daughter was doing.And this point was not only foreseen by Li Shimin, but also the purpose of Liu Ziqiu's announcement of Wang Yufeng's news.But Wang Shichong is a hero after all, Li Shimin's words reminded him instead, so he didn't come to Luoyang immediately after hearing the news, but made some careful preparations.

If he wants to come to Luoyang, the first thing is to pretend.But he is a barbarian after all, and it is very difficult to be unobtrusive through disguise.So he had to wait until the rumors of this incident in the outside world gradually faded before leaving for Beijing.Of course, with the approach of the three talent selection conferences, the discussion on this matter in Luoyang City will only become more heated, which is something he has no way of controlling.But in doing so, at least it can alleviate the troubles encountered on the road.And every time around the Spring Festival, a large number of merchants will pour into the Eastern Capital, and many of them are Hu merchants from the Western Regions, Persia and other places.He chose to come to Luoyang at this time, so it was not easy to attract special attention.

However, just coming to Luoyang is not Wang Shichong's purpose.His ultimate goal is to see his daughter and learn about her recent situation.According to the known information so far, Wang Yufeng must still be in the palace, but the palace is heavily guarded, not everyone can approach casually, Wang Shichong can only try to attract others' attention.Of course, this other person includes Liu Ziqiu and Wang Yufeng.

After several years of development, Luoyang has become the most prosperous city in the world, with everything to eat, use, and play.In Luoyang, no matter how much money you have, you can spend it.In order to attract the attention of others in such a place, especially Liu Ziqiu, who is rich in the world, he must come up with something unusual.

Because of the special identity of the Hu people, Wang Shichong has deep contacts in Persia, and has contacts with several important ministers of the Sasanian Dynasty.Of course, this kind of communication is also a relationship formed by Wang Shichong under the cover of merchants, and he will not be so stupid as to reveal his true identity.When Wang Shichong made friends with them, his methods were very clever, and he did business with them in a serious manner, but the price was more reasonable than other businessmen.

As Khuslao II fought for years, the treasury of the Sasanian Dynasty became increasingly empty.In order to meet the needs of continuing to wage wars, in addition to increasing domestic taxes, King Kuslao II also encouraged his generals to sell the spoils plundered in the war and supplement military supplies.These trophies include food, cattle and sheep, gold, silver and jewelry, as well as women and slaves.Wang Shichong was not very interested in selling female slaves at first, but when he heard from Li Shimin that Liu Ziqiu had hidden his daughter in the palace and played with him for several years, he had a bold idea.He paid a high price to buy many female slaves from the generals of the Sasanian Dynasty, but Wang Shichong had an additional requirement for these female slaves, they must be born in noble families.It doesn't matter if they are ladies or ladies.

In the Byzantine Empire, aristocratic women were often well-educated, with elegant manners and extraordinary temperament, which were very different from ordinary orchids.Rich and noble families in Luoyang City like to raise orchids, and these noble women from the Byzantine Empire will definitely cause a sensation.Of course, Wang Shichong's purpose was not just to attract the attention of those wealthy families in the city, but to attract Liu Ziqiu's attention.These Orchids have been seduced by him for several months, once they can be brought into the palace by Liu Ziqiu, they can become his eyeliner in the palace.Although Li Shimin said that the Li family had many eyeliners in the palace, Wang Shichong didn't really believe Li Shimin's words when he looked back.And even if the Li family really had eyeliner in the palace, it was the Li family's eyeliner, not Wang Shichong's.

For tonight's performance, Wang Shichong made careful preparations, and the effect was quite obvious, attracting a large number of audiences.It's just that he never expected that Liu Ziqiu would appear here with his daughter.

Liu Ziqiu had a keen sense, and had already noticed the change in Wang Yufeng, and said with a smile, "Why, did you see people from my hometown?"

Wang Yufeng nodded in panic, and replied in a low voice, "Well, it seems to be someone from my hometown."

Others couldn't tell the difference between the Persian barbarian and the Byzantine barbarian, but Liu Ziqiu could tell the difference clearly.There was a faint smile on his face, and he said lightly: "That Hu businessman brought these beauties here, presumably not just to perform dances for the Lantern Festival. If I expected it, he probably wanted to bring These girls sell for a good price. If you like it, I will order someone to buy a few of them and use them as your playmates."

Wang Yufeng's mind turned quickly, and she hurriedly said: "Thank you, master."

She wished she could rush up to the high stage and recognize her father, but reason told her that she must not reveal her father's identity at this moment.But from the bottom of her heart, she was eager to know how her father was doing.Liu Ziqiu said that he would buy some orchids for her, and it fell right into her arms, and he thanked her almost without thinking.

Du Ruhui was quite surprised, who were this old couple?Those orchids on the high platform were obviously worth a lot if they were sold, and he would actually buy them for a maidservant as a playmate.Then this maid is probably not simple, this is really a strange group of people.

Liu Ziqiu already had the answer in his heart, grabbed Du Ruhui's hand, jumped off the roof, and said, "Young Master Du, are you interested in participating in the talent selection meeting in a month's time?"

At this time, Wang Yufeng had just been brought to the ground by Hua Yun, and when she heard Liu Ziqiu's words, a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes.Although she is a barbarian woman, she also loves heroes.Du Ruhui's stature is thin and weak, so he is obviously not a hero.

Du Ruhui was self-aware, shaking his head and said: "When Du goes back, he will definitely concentrate on his studies and prepare for the summer imperial examinations. It doesn't matter if you don't join in the excitement."

The talent selection meeting was for Wang Yufeng to select county horses. Once selected, it can be said to be a step up to the sky. There are countless young talents in Luoyang City who want to squeeze in. This Du Ruhui just said casually that he didn't want to join in the fun, and Wang Yufeng was so angry Itchy, and his complexion changed a few times.However, today she was able to see her father who had been separated for many years. Although she was only watching from a distance, she was in a good mood when she learned that her father was fine, so she finally held back.In fact, even if Du Ruhui participated in the talent selection meeting, it would be of no use.Wang Yufeng had made up her mind a long time ago, no matter what kind of young talents she was, she would never look down on them.

Liu Ziqiu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I wish Mr. Du the best!"

Liu Ziqiu was very satisfied with Du Ruhui's answer.If Du Ruhui, like many young talents, wanted to seek a future by becoming a county horse, it would be too disappointing for him.

Du Ruhui said humbly: "There are so many well-educated people in the world, Du dare not think of being the number one scholar, but being able to rank among the top three is enough comfort for my whole life."

Although the county examination and county examination were added before the imperial examination this year, and some candidates were eliminated in advance, the number of candidates who participated in the final imperial examination was still three times that of four years ago.Facing so many candidates, Du Ruhui dared to set his goal as the top three, which shows how conceited he is about his talents.Wang Yufeng couldn't help but looked at him more, with disbelief on his face.

But I heard Hua Yun say: "Husband, look quickly, the crowd over there seems to have dispersed."

Sure enough, the crowd around the high platform gradually dispersed, it should be the end of the performance on the high platform.Many people talked while walking, and their words seemed to be full of meaning.At this time, a guard dressed as a domestic slave came over, cupped his hands and said: "Master, that Hu merchant said that at noon three days later, he will hold an auction meeting here. Auction those orchids who just danced , when the time comes, he will reveal the identities of these Orchids to the world, and the one with the highest price will win!"

Liu Ziqiu glanced at Wang Yufeng inadvertently, and said with a smile, "Well, let's go again in three days."

……

Three days is not long, nor is it short.For the past three days, Liu Ziqiu was not idle, but sent someone to monitor the residences of this group of Hu merchants.However, during these three days, many dignitaries came to visit this Hu businessman.Their purpose was obvious. They hoped to make some deals with Hu merchants in private and buy a few orchids back, but all of them were rejected without exception.Among these people are even important ministers like Zhang Liang.It stands to reason that it is impossible for a Hu merchant to be so arrogant, but the laws of the big man are very strict, no one dares to bully the weak in Luoyang City, and that Hu merchant is safe and sound.

The news that Zhang Liang failed to enter the house after visiting the house quickly spread to the whole city of Luoyang, making it known to everyone.This is exactly the effect Wang Shichong needs, and it further raises the value of those orchids.Moreover, according to the spreading speed, three days is enough time to spread the news to the palace. Wang Shichong does not believe that Liu Ziqiu will not be interested.

Liu Ziqiu came from later generations, and he opposed the slave trade from the bottom of his heart.But in this age, he can only accept this reality.However, Liu Ziqiu never thought that the Hu merchant would use the auction method, which would be a great insult to those orchids who were about to become slaves.The current status of these orchids is similar to that of goods. It is the freedom of others to sell them in any way. Even if he is the emperor of the Han Dynasty, he cannot interfere casually, because free trade is what he advocates.Of course, Liu Ziqiu has other ways to stop this auction.
