Ashina Nuji looked at Li Junyan with disdain, "Risking the danger to come here? What kind of danger could there be here?
I walked in through the city gate with a swagger. If I couldn't return safely, the one in real danger would be Tingzhou, not me.
Prince Chen, stop talking so much nonsense and release Bi Chi immediately!"
Li Junyan slowly put his hands behind his back and replied lightly, "I never said I would let him go."
"You won't let me go? Then why did you invite me here?" Ashina Nuji's eyes instantly widened like bells, filled with anger. "How dare you play tricks on me?"
"That's not the case. I asked you to come here because I wanted to discuss business with you."
Ashina Nuji's face was still furious, and a hint of suspicion was growing on it. "Talk about business? You're a down-and-out prince who was driven out of Chang'an. You can't even get enough to eat and drink in a place like Tingzhou. What kind of business can you talk to me about?"
Without waiting for Li Junyan's answer, Ashina Nuji suddenly laughed ambiguously again, "Could it be that Prince Chen also wants to trade in living people? Then Prince Chen has found the wrong person. I have no interest in these things."
Although Ashina Nuji looks strong, he is actually quite intelligent.
He says whatever is unpleasant to hear and whatever can touch others' sore spot.
He seems carefree, but actually he is acting crazy and stupid.
Li Junyan was not angry at Ashina Nuji's words, and still had a faint smile on his face, "The eldest prince said this, it seems that he does not want to do business with this king.
In this case, I will have to find another buyer for the salt, pepper, and tea leaves in my hands.
Selling overseas is a bit more troublesome, but the returns are high and it is also a good choice..."
Li Junyan's voice became lower and lower as he spoke, and finally he stopped talking. Instead, he looked at Ashina Nuji in surprise and said, "Why is the eldest prince still standing here? Since the eldest prince is unwilling to do this business, then the eldest prince can go back."
Although he had been ordered to leave, Ashina Nuji no longer cared. He looked at Li Junyan with hope and suspicion, "Prince Chen, you just said that you have salt, pepper and tea. Is that true?"
"Of course it's true."
Li Junyan said, looking at him indifferently, "Don't you want to do this business? Why are you asking this?"
"I--"
Ashina Nuji rolled his eyes and said, "You have a saying in the Great Zhou Dynasty: seeing is believing, hearing is not.
Prince Chen only said that he had it, but I didn’t dare to believe him easily!
After all, Prince Chen, you were driven out of Chang'an and are in a very embarrassing situation. The Crown Prince and Prince Jing are always on guard against you. Even if you want to buy these things in large quantities, I'm afraid it won't be easy, right?"
"Who said I bought it?"
Ashina Nuji was stunned. "You didn't buy it? Then how did you get it? Do you have a private salt mine that you dig yourself? And a tea plantation and a pepper plantation?"
Li Junyan looked at the statue of the goddess and bowed respectfully, "Of course it was given by the goddess."
"What?"
Ashina Nuji widened his eyes again and looked at Li Junyan in disbelief.
After watching for a while, Ashina Nuji suddenly burst into laughter, holding his belly, "Goddess? Where did this goddess come from?
Prince Chen, could it be that you've been driven out of Chang'an and something's wrong with your brain? You just casually carved a portrait and built a house, and you dare to say there's a goddess in this world? I think you've lost your mind!
I must have been infected by you, which is why I have been standing here talking to a lunatic like you for so long."
After saying this, Ashina Nuji shook his sleeves vigorously, turned around and walked out of the hall.
"Since Prince Chen is unwilling to release the people, don't blame me for burning down Tingzhou.
Tingzhou has no water. If it really catches fire, the whole city will be gone overnight, right? Hahahahaha!"
As the words fell, Ashina Nuji had already walked out of the hall, and crazy laughter came from the courtyard.
Li Junyan looked at him with cold eyes, "If you behave like this in front of the goddess, she will teach you a lesson."
Ashina Nuji stopped and turned to look at Li Junyan, spreading contempt, "You damn goddess, if you have the guts, ask her to teach me a lesson right now——"
Sang Jueqian had been waiting eagerly, and when he heard Ashina Nuji's joking words, he no longer hesitated and reached in, pinched Ashina's head with two fingers, and lifted him up from the ground.
His body suddenly left the ground and his head was almost crushed, which made Ashina Nuji panic instantly. His legs kept kicking in the air, and at the same time he raised his hands and slapped Sang Jueqian's fingers.
But to Sang Jueqian, his little bit of strength was like an ant crawling on his body.
Sang Jueqian pinched Ashina Nuji and spun him around in the air five or six times before casually throwing him to the ground.
Ashina Nuji lay on the ground with a pale face, looking at Sang Jueqian's hand in horror, the emotions in his eyes changing again and again.
Sang Jueqian stretched out an index finger and pressed it on Ashina Nuji's head. Seeing that his face turned red and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, he slowly raised his hand.
Having regained his freedom and breathing smoothly again, Ashina Nuji felt like he had survived a disaster.
Just now he was wondering if this was some kind of deception by Li Junyan.
But now, he dared not doubt it.
This is definitely not a trick, nor is it something that a human can do.
This is truly a goddess!
He offended the goddess in the goddess temple, but he was able to save his life!
Ashina Nuji was very happy, but also felt disappointed.
Why would such a powerful goddess come to the Great Zhou?
If he could be in the Turks and hold the Turks, he would definitely be able to swallow up all the surrounding small countries.
Even the Great Zhou would be annexed by the Turks sooner or later.
Ashina Nuji's eyes were full of ambition, which he did not conceal at all.
Li Junyan walked out of the hall slowly, seeing Ashina Nuji's expression clearly, and the look in his eyes became a little colder.
"Prince, are you not leaving yet? Are you waiting for the goddess to take your life?"
Ashina Nuji instantly raised his head, his eyes shining, "Prince Chen, didn't you just want to do business with me? I agreed!"
Li Junyan sneered, "You say you won't do it, then don't do it. You say you will do it, then do it. Aren't you taking yourself too seriously?"
"It was my fault before." Ashina Nuji admitted his mistake without hesitation. "I'm sure the Prince will give me another chance. Just name your price, and I won't bargain!"
"real?"
“Truer than real gold!”
Li Junyan looked straight at him and said in a deep voice, "I can give you 20 stones of salt, 20 stones of pepper, and 20 stones of tea."
Ashina Nuji's breathing became heavier, "Really?"
"Of course." Li Junyan curled the corners of his lips.
"I'll go back and prepare the gold cakes!"
"Wait!" Li Junyan stopped him, "In addition to the gold cakes at market price, I also want a thousand war horses and Bi Chi's life."
