A young man like a tiger (12) Jia Dong's story(2/3)
Xu Xiaoyu waved and the guards who had just protected Jia Dong came over.
"How did you do just now?"
The guard looked at Jia Dong, and there was a look of admiration in his eyes, "That man wanted to do it just now..."
Li Yuanying covered his forehead after saying something.
"This kid is so calm that I think of the young handsome men in Chang'an City today." Li Yuanying smiled, "Those young people like to talk loudly and just asked them to come. Who can be better than Saburo? I have been thinking for a long time, but no one can match it. But why did Mr. Sanlang let Saburo do business? Shouldn't he go to the officialdom with such talent?"
Xu Xiaoyu glanced at the guard beside him, and the guard left sensibly. Then he whispered: "Alang asked Sanlangjun about his ambitions, and Sanlangjun said..." When he saw Jia Dong coming back, he said in a lower voice: "Sanlangjun said he did not want to rely on others and would rather go to business."
Li Yuanying was surprised, "He said he would not become a vassal of Dalang, so he would rather go out to do business?"
Jia Yu was the eldest son and would inherit Jia Ping'an's title. After Jia Ping'an retired, Jia Yu's career was obviously much smoother. He was the leader of the Jia family.
Xu Xiaoyu nodded, "Alang was depressed for a long time, and in the end he said it, why would he say... He would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. Sanlangjun seemed gloomy, but he was a strong man."
"Lie Shizi..."
Li Yuanying smiled and said, "You can be so calm between life and death, and you can smile when you are whipped. If the prince saw such a Saburo, wouldn't he be moved?"
Xu Xiaoyu shook his head, "Your Majesty is still here after all, and it is difficult for the prince to arrange too many people for him."
"The rules of the dog!" Li Yuanying's eyes became more clear.
Xu Xiaoyu glanced at him and knew his feelings.
Li Yuanying himself is a tragedy under the rules. If Jia Ping'an hadn't helped him, he would have continued to pretend to be crazy in a small place.
Li Yuanying looked at Jia Dong who was walking towards him and asked curiously: "The only convenience that I am puzzled is...what did you ask the general's name?"
Jia Dong got on the horse and "make a friend."
He added softly: "Friends of life and death!"
He is not short of the impulse of young people. For example, in Chang'an, he fought with the prime minister's grandson in order to compete for a famous prostitute and broke the other party's arm.
But he can tell the occasion.
"Chalu!"
There was a little coldness in those gloomy eyes.
The convoy set off immediately.
On the way, they met a cyclist.
"It turned out to be a chisel made of fine iron? This thing is useful for siege, so hurry up and bring it to Constantinople."
Jia Dong smiled, "Yes. But the price..."
There is a little more greed in the smile.
The Ranger General sneered: "There are mountains of gold and silver, and you can't get enough money for you. The merchants are indeed greedy."
The convoy set out again.
But when we could see Constantinople from afar, an army intercepted them.
The soldiers looked tired and their eyes were more annoyed.
"This is a chisel made of fine iron. It was originally sold to craftsmen, but those people said that the army could use it to attack the city..."
Jia Dong smiled and looked at Constantinople in front of him, "By the way, I met a caravan from Constantinople..."
The general said in anger: "Of course he escaped."
Even if they were surrounded by yarn, the merchants had a way to bribe the cannibals, took their caravans to the sea, and then took the goods to the east to sell them.
"War can never stop the businessman's footsteps." Li Yuanying added with a smile.
The general frowned, "Move the things in and give them the money."
Jia Dong took a step forward, and as the general narrowed his eyes slightly and held the hilt of the knife, he whispered: "I have a good alcohol tolerance. The Eastern Roman merchant said after drinking too much... A sharp weapon has been prepared in Constantinople, which is enough to destroy the army."
The general's eyes shrank, "You are a spy!"
Li Yuanying regretted it and pulled Jia Dong and said, "Since you don't want to listen, stop talking."
Jia Dong shook his head and said regretfully: "I have been doing business for several years. It was Dashi that I made my first money. My affection for Dashi is not inferior to that of Datang, which is a pity."
The general sneered, "Take it away!"
"Why!"
Just as Li Yuanying was about to stop him, Jia Dong leaned against his shoulder and whispered: "This is Aye's arrangement..."
But do you want to die?
Li Yuanying was furious.
Jia Dong was escorted to the military camp by two soldiers.
In the following days, he was held in a tent.
Eat, drink, defecation and sensation are all in the same place, and the taste is so scented after a long time.
Jia Dong thought a lot.
Are the things Aye said true?
He thought of this matter again, the secret spies from the Ministry of War should have done it, but after hearing it, he volunteered.
I remember Aye looked at him with complicated eyes and said, "You are my son. You want to break a way for your father to understand the idea of your father. But as a father, he can't bear to take risks for his own children, even if the danger is minimal...."
Very small?
Jia Dong has always been confused about the meaning of this statement.
But he believed in his father's words.
So he insisted.
"At worst, you can die in a foreign country." Jia Dong said happily in pain.
The sound of footsteps came from outside.
The general came in, "Come with me."
They came to a makeshift room.
More than ten generals were discussing around the map in the house.
The general in charge raised his eyes and said lightly: "Tell me what the weapon you are talking about. If it is wrong, I will throw you into the sea and let the Eastern Romans hang you as a spy!"
Jia Dong's heartbeat accelerated, and he forced himself to calm down, "What if it's right?"
The general smiled slightly, "If it is correct, if it can break through Constantinople, then... you will be rich enough to rival a country, and at the same time you will become a eternal friend of the Great Food. In any territory of the Great Food, you will become a guest of honor!"
Jia Dong took a deep breath, "I drank with the Eastern Roman merchant. He had a poor alcohol tolerance. After drinking too much, he said drunkenly. What do you say... An Eastern Roman craftsman invented a kind of divine fire. This divine fire can be loaded on a boat and sprayed out with a tube. Anything that is contaminated with this divine fire can burn, even iron cannot be avoided."
The general asked casually: "What can they do with this kind of divine fire?"
The generals smiled slightly.
The Great Food Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world. If it weren’t for being defeated by Jia Ping’an in the battle, then the Great Food Iron Cavalry would proudly say that the Great Food Iron Cavalry is unparalleled in the world.
Jia Dong said calmly: "Constantinople is strong, and the Iron Cavalry of the Great Food is powerful, but they can't help but face the city. The only way is to walk on the sea..."
He glanced at the map, and the general's eyes were slightly cold, "Let him go."
The soldiers behind him let go, Jia Dong walked over, pointed to both sides of Constantinople and said, "The sea is on both sides of Constantinople, which is the only place with hope of breaking..."
A general said, "We have captured the Port of Kizkos."
This little liar!
When the generals saw Jia Dong in a daze, they all sneered.
The general said lightly: "Execute!"
Jia Dong's back was sweaty and he raised his eyes and said, "If you want to attack, you must go on the sea."
There was a sea breeze outside the tent, and the smell was slightly fishy, which reminded Jia Dong of the smell of human blood that he smelled that year.
The general sneered, "This time we have assembled a large number of ships, so we don't need to worry about the ability to cross the sea."
Aye, don’t lie to me, otherwise you will lose a son!
Jia Dong's heartbeat was thunderous, "The divine fire comes from oil. When your fleet arrives, the Romans' arson ships attack and flames are gushing... I seem to see the light of fire soaring into the sky."
The general sneered, "Take it away."
From being executed to taking away, Jia Dong relaxed and said, "My advice is not misleading."
Jia Dong’s advice is just a warning and will not interfere with the army.
"If it weren't for this, you'd already died."
The general sneered.
Then he ordered: "Let the empty ship be in front and the army be in back. The crossbowmen prepare intensively. Once the enemy ship is found, use rockets first..."
A general smiled and said, "Do you still believe the nonsense of the Tang Dynasty?"
To be continued...
