Born short-lived

"I just want to make a deal with the king." Dong Sheng stared straight at him, "You have rejected Da Ling's garrison, right?"

"So what?" Aldan laughed, "I can tell him right now that Silan has changed his mind."

"But you won't."

Aldan was immediately blocked by this sentence—indeed, he would not let the army of Da Lingren get involved in the land of Silan. Although Silan has many things in the hands of Daling now, after all, And Hua Xu, Slan's kingship is still his, and there is still room for maneuver in everything, but once the Daling army is stationed here, this Slan will probably change his name in a few years.

"A few days ago, news came from the capital, saying that the defender of the southern border had suddenly handed over a note to His Majesty, saying that he wanted to capture Silan to prevent future troubles."

"You dare!"

"Your Majesty, be safe and don't be impatient. Your Majesty will of course firmly reject this kind of militarism, and declare to the world the friendship between Hua Xu and Silan, and treat Silan like a brother." Dong Sheng laughed, "Since It's siblings, Naslan is in trouble, how can I, Hua Xu, not help?"

Aldan raised his eyebrows unkindly: "What do you mean?"

In fact, he didn't want to ask Hua Xu to do something unless it was a last resort. After all, Hua Xu's help was definitely not for nothing, and he would scrape off a layer of his skin at every turn.

And this matter involved that person...

"Let's put it this way, you rejected Daling's garrison and cut off the black oil, not to mention what the black banner people in the south will do, just say that the treasury probably won't be able to make ends meet, right?"

"Why, can your country still be so kind and give us money?"

Dong Sheng pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "I won't give it for nothing."

Aldan snorted coldly, thinking that I knew this was the case.

"As for His Royal Highness..." Dong Sheng paused, "I don't care how to deal with it, but there is a country to have a family. Your Majesty, don't lose the big because of small things."

Aldan was stunned, he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

"I heard that His Royal Highness is dealing in black oil exports."

That's right, this younger brother never made him feel at ease.

When his father Saru was alive, he was licentious. Obviously his biological mother was the serious queen of Slan, but Saru was hanging out with his lover all day long, and even had a child - that child was Aga West.

However, these two brothers were born to be friends, even if their respective mothers strangled each other to death, they are still so good that they almost wear a pair of pants.

Later, Saru began to export the black oil, and by that time his health was already in decline.The old man also reckoned that his life was not long. Even if he knew that the two brothers were close, after all, Aldan's biological mother died of depression because of his anger. He was afraid that Aldan would embarrass his old lover after he ascended the throne. Secretly handed over all the big and small threads of the black oil trade to the mistress.

Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, not long after the old King Saru passed away, the mistress suddenly fell ill and died.Ajiaxi insisted that Aldan did it, and Aldan himself was a donkey, so the two brothers tore their faces apart.

With the black oil deal in his hand, Ajiaxi is equivalent to holding most of the funding source of the Islamic state treasury, and his influence in the court has become more and more rampant.

Aldan knew that Ajiashi wanted to usurp the throne, and he also knew that Ajiashi wanted him to die, but after each assassination, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and arrested a few insignificant nobles to make an example—because he didn't want Ajiashi to be true. He was accused of regicide and treason, and he didn't want to personally issue the order to execute Agassiz.

Although I don't know what Ajiaxi thinks, but for him, the 20-year brotherhood is not just gone.

"I used to think that you brothers were at odds. I didn't know that you were protecting him so much until my spies sent me the news." Dong Sheng frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart, and calmed down. Zhencai continued, "It would be fine if the fire didn't catch us."

Aldan felt that he could grasp the propriety and protect himself and this worrying younger brother, but he never expected that Ajiaxi would accidentally hit and hurt the envoy Hua Xu.

That night in Hualou, he flatly rejected Ajiaxi's request for the Daling garrison, and even scolded Ajiaxi.

Ajiaxi turned away in anger, leaving him sulking in the flower building.Then he asked Dong Sheng to drive back to the palace in his car, but met the assassin who was going to assassinate Aldan on the way.

Aldan really did not expect that Ajiaxi would be so ruthless that he would rather help Da Ling than kill his brother.

Aldan smiled wryly, and asked, "How did you suspect him?"

"Above the court, the nobles of all parties have almost been suppressed by you. If you die, the situation will be chaotic and it will be of no benefit to anyone. So if it is really just them, they dare not kill you at all—" Dong Sheng paused, feeling bitter in his heart, and felt that this man was probably the most unlucky elder brother in the world, "But Agassi, he is the prince conferred by the former king of Slan. If you die, Slan's royal power will definitely be He's dead, and there's a big bully behind him to back him up... It's hard to say..."

"It's collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country." Aldan asked with a wry smile on his face, "Is that so?"

Dong Sheng remained silent.

Dong Sheng thought to himself, what could be the matter, as for making Ajiaxi turn his back on him like this.

Ajiaxi naturally wanted Da Ling to garrison, he thought that once Aldan died, the throne would be his, and Da Ling's army would help him quell the civil strife and consolidate the kingship... So when Aldan refused to garrison, he felt that it was It's time to stop.

"He's too stupid. He thought Daling would be kind enough to help him." Aldan shook his head helplessly, "Daling was just using him. He is the child of his mistress and has a bad reputation in Sri Lanka. , He has been squeezed everywhere since he was a child, so he always wants to win a round, but the result is getting deeper and deeper... Now, he wants too many things."

In the past, if it was just their brothers fighting against each other, Aldan could still release water out of selfishness, but this guy not only moved on his own country's head, but also moved on Hua Xu's head-this time, Aldan may not be able to protect everything if he wants to. up.

"Your Majesty, if His Royal Highness does not come back at this time, he will definitely not let it go... No matter what, your country and Da Ling are going to tear each other apart. Although your country is Da Ling's most important source of black oil, it is also a It’s not the only one. Moreover, Daling Country has a lot of black oil reserves, so it won’t be a problem to last for about ten years. But if your country lacks this income, you might not be able to survive next year, right? As far as I know, the King’s New Deal will pay off. , at least three more years."

"So? What's the envoy's opinion?"

"The miners in the past lost their jobs. Of course, some of them with poor brains can't switch to ore processing according to your idea. The number of refugees is too large, and relief alone is definitely not enough. It's better to use work as relief and open up business. Hua Xu can give you [-] jobs."

"Twenty thousand?" Aldan raised his eyebrows; "How do you say that?"

"Huaxu pays for money, you give people, you repair business roads, you build inns, all salaries are paid according to your country's standards, and Huaxu's businessmen will come to you to build inns, restaurants, and even light houses. In the factory building, all the workers use Sri Lanka’s salary. The salary cannot be lower than the average salary of Sri Lanka, and it increases according to the amount of labor. If there are any violations, you can file a complaint. Huaxu’s chamber of commerce will never sit idly by. .”

Aldan smiled and said, "Then your country is really kind. Your country is rich in products, excellent in craftsmanship, and trades with each other. I'm afraid that if you make a lot of money, we will lose our pockets, right?"

Dong Sheng said, "I haven't finished my next sentence. Of course, we have also considered these things, so in the first three years, Hua Xu will implement a restricted movement order. Only melon, fruit, flower candy, wood and jewelry vendors can be approved. If other vendors want to If you go south, unless you are setting up a factory, if you are only exporting ready-made products, you will be charged a [-]% tariff.”

"Then your country is really rich and powerful, aren't you afraid of hurting your vitality?"

Dong Sheng smiled: "One million buys a house, ten million buys a neighbor, Hua Xu is never short of money."

The corner of Aldan's mouth twitched, and he continued, "Then you gave us such a big benefit? What are you thinking?"

Dong Sheng said: "The king is a straightforward person, so I will stop beating around the bush. First of all, we want a position from your country."

"As long as it doesn't hurt our country's interests... of course."

Aldan thought to himself, if you have achieved this step, he will not be able to change in the future even if he wants to.

At that time, Sri Lanka's economy will be firmly tied to Huaxu in the short term, and who knows that the direct road behind the Great Wall in southern Xinjiang will lead directly to Huaxu's capital, Huajing City?The business road was built from the Great Wall of Southern Xinjiang to the territory of Silan. Although it would be convenient for Hua Xu to reinforce him if something happened to Silan, but if Hua Xu wanted to deal with him, he would be indomitable...

"Furthermore, we don't care about His Royal Highness's life or death. We just hope that the king will take care of his own internal affairs in the future. If something happens to you here, we will not live in peace."

"This will not bother your country."

"Finally, there is a small request," Dong Sheng said with a smile, "I don't know if there is a trace of the lost thing that the king asked to help find earlier?"

Aldan was startled, looked at him with complicated expressions, and smiled meaningfully after a long time, and said, "Of course, please rest assured the envoy."

"If there's nothing else to do, I'll take my leave first." Dong Sheng saluted as he said that, as if he wanted to leave.

"Wait," Aldan called to stop him, "Is what you said really countable?"

"If you don't count, I don't dare to speak nonsense."

"Okay, then you go first."

Dong Sheng saluted him again, then turned and walked out of the dungeon.

Aldan turned his back, raised his head and didn't say a word for a long time, finally heaved a long sigh...

The light in the dungeon was dim, and the moment he came out, his eyes became a little sore because he couldn't bear the strong light.Dong Sheng wanted to raise his hand to block the light, but when he raised it, he realized that his palms were drenched with sweat.

It took a long time to come out, and the steps under my feet were still weak.

"How's it going?" Unknowingly, a Muslim dressed as a guard posted up next to him, but what he said was Hua Xu Jinwen who couldn't be more authentic.

Looking at this strange face, Dong Sheng was not surprised at all: "It's pretty good, it's just that you put together this outfit, isn't it afraid that people will be suspicious?"

"It's all messed up like this, who cares about us?"

Dong Sheng glanced at him - this person is the past life he said "should be leaving the king's city soon".

All sword spirit entities have a fixed appearance - except for reincarnation, thousands of people have thousands of faces, so he always liked to find fault with Dongsheng's disguise technique before, but also because of this, Dongsheng always let him go Ask for information - no one is better suited.

Dong Sheng laughed and said, "How did you find out so much? You've almost wiped out the bottom line of the family."

"You don't need to worry about this, did Aldan promise to return the Tiangang Lingwu to you?"

"Probably." Dong Sheng said, "He should also know the trade-offs. Hiding Lingwu is only his second hand. If Silan suffers a disaster, the people are in dire straits, and internal and external troubles arise, how can he care about the second hand?"

Xiangsheng nodded.

"By the way, is there any movement in southern Xinjiang?"

After thinking about it in the past life, he said carefully: "Yang Gui, the guard of southern Xinjiang, has not been doing much recently, but the territory of southern Xinjiang is not peaceful."

Dong Sheng frowned: "How do you say that?"

"You know Chaotian will meet?"

"Well, I heard about it in Donghai before." Dong Sheng pondered, "Could something have happened?"

"In the past few days, their people have suddenly caused disturbances, and the two prefectures of southern Xinjiang, Yunnan and Fujian are not very peaceful now." Wang Sheng deliberately said, "Tell me, why is it such a coincidence..."

"What do you mean?" Dong Sheng seemed to understand his implication, "Is there any movement in the capital?"

"For the time being, Yang Gui is just going to clean it up, but after the decree came down, there was no sound at all."

"I understand," Dong Sheng felt his brain ache, "You stare at them first, I will write to Dong Hai later, asking them to send people to investigate the situation in southern Xinjiang, and let's clean up the stalls here first. "

Dong Sheng pinched the center of his brows, feeling that the past few days have been a bit exhausting.

Seeing that his expression was not very good, he said with concern, "What? Is it because I have been out for too long?"

If Tiangang Lingwu wants to use psychic energy, it has to consume the divine essence of the host, Hei Ling. These days, he has often used psychic arts in order to inquire about information, which may be a bit exhausting.

Dong Sheng blinked energetically, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'll just go back and sleep."

He didn't know how to appease him, so he could only pretend nothing happened, and cursed without following the last sentence: "Yang Gui, this old boy really doesn't know what the hell is going on."

Dong Sheng didn't chew for a while after listening, and then teased with an unclear expression: "You old Guigeng? Are you qualified to say that others are old?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly turned around and strode away. After realizing it, he was so angry that he was so angry that he pointed at Dong Sheng's back and cursed furiously; "You are looking for death!!"
