Xue Qilu welcomed the team into White Wolf City and arranged them directly in the Concierge Courtyard.
The Concierge Courtyard was ordered to be built by King White Wolf many years ago. It is divided into east and west courtyards, with a street separating them.
Although the White Wolf Tribe is only one of the eight tribes of Wu Tuo, its territory is not small, and it often receives envoys from various countries. After the Wu Tuo Rebellion, although the Tang State resumed trade with Wu Tuo, there was no official communication with each other.
There were no envoys from Wutuo to the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, and no envoys from the Tang Dynasty came here for more than ten years.
However, when envoys from the Western Regions came to the Wutuo Khanate, they not only wanted to see Tian Khan, but also brought generous gifts to the other seven great khans.
The east courtyard of the Concierge Courtyard is used to receive envoys from the Tang Dynasty. The buildings on the facade are all in the style of the Tang Dynasty, with carved beams and painted buildings, and are antique. The west courtyard is used to receive envoys from the countries in the Western Regions. The buildings are also full of the exotic styles of the countries in the Western Regions.
In addition, the eight tribes of Wutuo often exchange envoys, and these envoys are often arranged in the Concierge Courtyard.
Since no envoys came from the Tang Dynasty for many years, the East Courtyard became a place to receive envoys from the other seven tribes.
Yuwen Chengchao and his party were from the Tang Dynasty. Although they were not envoys, the White Wolf King still arranged everyone in the east courtyard. Firstly, the architectural style here was more suitable for Yuwen Chengchao and his party. Secondly, it also showed courtesy to Yuwen Chengchao and his party.
.
As a place to receive envoys, the Concierge Court is naturally extremely luxurious and covers an extremely large area.
Xue Qilu settled everyone in the East Courtyard of Libin, made proper arrangements, and lined up wolf guards to guard them.
It was getting late, everyone had dinner and then took a rest.
Early the next morning, Qin Xiao came to Shopkeeper Bai's residence and saw Tang Rong serving breakfast to Shopkeeper Bai. Seeing Qin Xiao, Tang Rong glanced at Qin Xiao and said calmly: "Have you had breakfast? Do you want to be here?"
There are many courtyards in the east courtyard. Shopkeeper Bai lives in a separate place, and Tang Rong comes to take care of them. They don't all eat together.
Qin Xiao just smiled, stepped forward and said, "Good morning, shopkeeper."
Shopkeeper Bai nodded with a smile and said, "I heard that King Khan asked you to go to Qifushan's mansion to pick three things. Have you thought about what you want?"
"The shopkeeper's magical calculations are as good as fortune-telling." Qin Xiao went over and sat down beside him: "The Khan King treated me favorably, but he was disrespectful. I also thought about it all night, which three things I should take. I thought so hard that I didn't know how to choose.
."
Shopkeeper Bai smiled and said: "Qifushan used to be one person below ten thousand people. His Khan Mansion in White Wolf City was very large. There were tons of treasures in it. Moreover, all the countries in the Western Regions would donate millions of dollars to Wu Tuo every year.
There are hundreds of beauties, and these beauties have been divided among the eight Khans of the Uttara tribe. There are so many beauties in Qifushan's house, so you can choose from them all."
"Yes." Tang Rong said with a smile: "There are many young and beautiful beauties inside. You can choose at will. Aren't you very happy?"
Qin Xiao looked at Tang Rong with a smile and said, "Sister Rong has been to Qi Fushan's mansion?"
"No, what am I going to do there?" Tang Rong said angrily.
Qin Xiaodao: "You haven't been there, how do you know there are many young and beautiful beauties there? If Qi Fushan's preferences are different from others, and he only likes fat and ugly women, then maybe that's the case."
"As much as you want." Tang Rong picked up the teapot and added some more milk tea to Shopkeeper Bai. Then she took a clean tea bowl, poured a bowl of it, nuzzled at Qin Xiaonu, and motioned for Qin Xiao to take it and drink.
Qin Xiao thought that although Sister Rong was not very friendly on the surface, she was still thinking of him in her heart. He smiled, reached over, picked up the tea bowl, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. He wiped his mouth and said, "It tastes really good."
Tang Rong remained calm, but Shopkeeper Bai smiled and said: "This opportunity is rare. There are many treasures in Qi Fushan's mansion. If you feel that it is difficult to choose when the time comes, just take Rong'er there. Rong'er has also seen many strange things in these years.
I still have the ability to appraise rare treasures, and I can help you select a few rare treasures."
"Father...!"
Before Tang Rong could speak, Qin Xiao had already clapped his hands and said: "Shopkeeper, you are really a fairy. I came here just to ask Sister Rong to accompany me. I really can't understand the baby myself. I might put him in the house by then."
The big stone can be called a rare treasure, so that would be a joke." He cupped his hands to Tang Rong and said, "Sister Rong, you really want to help me this time, thank you very much."
Tang Rong said helplessly: "You really got into money's eyes." There was no rejection, it meant acceptance.
Qin Xiao and shopkeeper Bai chatted for a few innocuous words, then saw Xue Qilu coming this way. Qin Xiao stood up, and Xue Qilu had already smiled and saluted: "Good morning, everyone, I wonder how well you slept last night?"
Shopkeeper Bai smiled and nodded: "Good morning, Mr. Qi Jin. Thank you for taking care of me."
Shopkeeper Bai is very elegant, with a smile on his face from beginning to end, and is extremely well-educated.
"Wang Xiao, I wonder if we can leave now?"
Nothing has been moved, and all women aged fourteen and below thirty remain in the house without being imprisoned."
When Qin Xiao saw Tang Rong glance at him calmly, his face felt a little hot and he asked, "Why are they left here?"
"King Khan has ordered that you can choose the treasures and beauties in the palace at your will." Xue Qilu said: "So all the young and beautiful women are here to stay."
"No, no, no." Qin Xiao said hurriedly: "Master Qijin, I don't want anyone. King Khan is so kind and it's hard to refuse. I'll go in and see what treasures there are. I'll just take a few." After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Tang Rong.
After taking a glance, Tang Rong was calm and composed, and did not look at her side.
Xue Qilu was well-informed. Seeing Qin Xiao's expression, he seemed to understand something and said with a smile: "Then let's set off now. I'll just order someone to take those women away."
Qin Xiao led Tang Rong out of the Concierge Courtyard and followed Xue Qi's path to Qifushan Mansion.
After all, he is Qifushan Khan under one person. The mansion is really not small, and the front and back of the mansion have been tightly guarded.
After entering the mansion, the women were being driven to the backyard by the soldiers. Qin Xiao saw that there were many beauties inside. They were young and beautiful. He thought to himself that Qifushan really knew how to enjoy such a big mansion, beautiful women.
Ruyun, my life was really carefree and carefree.
Such a luxurious life is the dream of many people in the world. If you follow the White Wolf King honestly and enjoy such a luxurious life for the rest of your life, but if you want to usurp the throne, you will not be able to enjoy the life that others dream of, and you will even lose your life.
He looked thoughtfully at the beauties being driven away. When Tang Rong saw this, she half-smiled but whispered, "Would you like me to help you pick a few?"
Qin Xiao suddenly came back to his senses, turned to look at Sister Rong, and saw that she was looking at him with a strange smile. Looking at Tang Rong's charming face, he suddenly felt that those beauties were overshadowed, and chuckled:
"Is Sister Rong jealous?"
Sister Rong immediately lowered her face and said, "If you keep talking nonsense, I have to leave."
"I was wrong." Qin Xiao apologized quickly.
"Wang Xiao, you can walk around and see all the places in this mansion." Xue Qilu said with a smile: "Although King Khan said he could only take three things, he has always been generous, and you protect him
King Khan has great merits. If he really got dozens or hundreds of pieces, King Khan wouldn't ask. Just point out what you like and I will send someone to note it down for you and install it for you when the time comes.
Car." He turned around and said, "Naluo, please keep this in mind for Wang Xiao."
An official came up from behind, holding a book in his left hand and a pen in his right hand. He bowed to Qin Xiao and said: "What do you like, just point it out and I will write it down for you."
Qin Xiao thought that this arrangement was a good one.
Qin Xiao naturally knew what Xue Qilu said was true. He helped the White Wolf King turn things around and regain his position as King of Khans. The White Wolf King would naturally not be stingy with some possessions. He really wanted to choose dozens or hundreds of treasures. The White Wolf King would naturally be
Without blinking.
Xue Qilu was obviously ordered to bring people to inspect Qifushan's mansion. He was the inspection official. Since he had given permission, no matter how many things Qin Xiao picked, he would naturally help to deal with them properly.
Although Qin Xiao loves money, he is not a greedy person. He thought that three things were really too few, and it would be okay to pick ten or eight good things.
Qi Fushan's mansion was filled with jewels and treasures. Naluo, the secretary, followed Qin Xiao respectfully, giving directions to the mansion from time to time.
When Qin Xiao was in Turtle City, he also visited the Zhenhou Mansion. However, people in the Tang Dynasty were restrained after all. Even in the Zhenhou Mansion, they would not put jewelry and treasures in an open place. Begging for good deeds was obviously more public. Qin Xiao looked everywhere. Not only were there many
They are antique calligraphy and paintings from the Tang Dynasty, as well as countless rare treasures from the Western Regions.
"Qi Fushan is really scheming." Tang Rong saw it and said softly: "Deliberately showing off like this is nothing more than showing King White Wolf Khan that he is greedy for money. Such a person will make King White Wolf Khan even more jealous.
rest assured."
Qin Xiao thought to himself that what Tang Rong said was true. If Qifu was a kind person with a pure heart and no desire for money or beauty, it would actually make King White Wolf Khan wary of him.
At this time, I suddenly understood why I could see so many beauties just now. What I saw now was that the house was full of rare treasures. These were meant for the White Wolf King to see.
From time to time, he picked up a few treasures to look at. This one was fun to look at, but he found that that one seemed more valuable. He didn't know which one was better. He didn't make a decision in a hurry. He felt that although these things were obvious,
It is considered precious, but it is definitely not the best treasure in the house. Qi Fushan may have hidden a more valuable treasure.
When Naluo saw Qin Xiao pick up something, he was about to record it. When he found that Qin Xiao put it down and seemed to be uninterested, he could only stop writing.
"Sister Rong, I invite you here to help me choose a baby." Qin Xiao said: "Why haven't you spoken?"
Tang Rong said: "If you can choose these ordinary treasures, it will only prove that you have ordinary vision. Qi Fushan once held great power, but now I am afraid that the good things in his hands are still invisible."
Qin Xiao wanted to take a look at Tang Rong and his own thoughts, then looked back at Naluo and asked: "Brother, where do you think the real treasure of this mansion should be hidden? You can also help give me some advice later.
