Chapter 104
"Then, what does the special envoy want from me?"
Zhao Rui leaned on the chair, his eyes burning.
"This trip to the Western Regions, I hope you can give me your full help. If necessary, I would like to borrow your caravan to protect you! You should know what I mean."
Huangfu Xin is a smart man. The princess of Rouran is traveling with Dashang's special envoy, and the destination is the Western Regions.
That must be to move reinforcements to the Thirty-Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions to help Tuo Baxue restore his country.
Moreover, Zhao Rui also brought with him the talisman and command arrows given by the Emperor of Shang Dynasty. There must be other important things to do.
As a businessman, he never got involved in matters between countries. Sometimes, when the two countries were at war, he would sell supplies to both countries at the same time, making money on both sides.
Rouran, Dashang, and the Western Regions, he has business dealings with these three places, and he cannot give up easily.
But the temptation of a country's right to do business is too great.
For Huangfu Xin, this was a huge gamble.
If the bet wins, he may be able to hold the business rights of these three places in his hands, and he can also use the great merchants to do business with the remaining eighteen vassal states.
But even if he loses, he can still get the management rights of Dashang.
He won’t lose no matter what!
Zhao Rui picked up the leg of lamb on the table and took a bite.
"Mr. Huangfu, there is no need to give me an answer so quickly. We are all going to the Western Regions anyway, and there will be plenty of time along the way!"
Huangfu Xinmeng took a sip of wine: "I will give you an answer as soon as possible."
He didn't stay here longer, exchanged a few words with Fan Hu next to him, and then went to the room accompanied by several people.
Zhao Rui was not in a hurry, and sat there eating and drinking while quietly observing the people in the hall.
Although Fan Hu and his gang are from Dongliang, they are not hostile.
The ones who were full of hatred towards them were a group of rough guys sitting in the corner.
These people's eyes have never left Tuoba Xue. They should be the people sent by the Huns to hunt him down.
"Are you full?" Zhao Rui suddenly asked.
Tuoba Xue patted her belly: "I'm full! Why are you going to take action?"
Zhao Rui almost spit out the food in his mouth.
Why is this little girl a tiger bitch? What kind of action should I take in this situation?
If she can open a shop here, the proprietress is probably not a good person. If she really takes action, the consequences will be disastrous.
"When you're full, go to bed. If those guys still follow tomorrow, I will help you kill them!"
Tuoba Xue nodded and went back to the room with Zhao Rui without saying anything more.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them entered the room, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Tuoba Xue immediately became vigilant and took out a dagger from somewhere.
Zhao Rui was relatively calm and walked to the door with a long knife in hand.
"Who is it?"
"Fan Hu!"
Zhao Rui was slightly startled, why did this guy suddenly come over?
But he could say the name so openly, so there must be no hostility.
Zhao Rui thought carefully before opening the door and letting him in.
"What do you really want?" Tuoba Xue pulled out the dagger directly: "We have already reached an agreement with Mr. Huangfu."
