Sifanglou is a very good restaurant in Jinling City, close to the Yangtze River wharf, so the flow of people is like weaving, and the business is prosperous. The lobby is designed for the middle and lower classes, but the second and third floors are very opulent and private, and the food is famous for the novelty and delicacy of Jinling, which is a favorite place for the upper class aristocracy.

As soon as Guo Shu got off the horse, someone immediately came over and led the horse aside. Guo Shu went straight to the third floor, ordered a pot of black tea, a little pastry, and quietly watched the traffic on the side of the street.

Of course, this cargo is not just a thing, just a short time after Guo Shu stayed, there was a slave ship docked, the slaves were led off the ship by the slave traders, and the buyer who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly stepped forward to choose the slave he liked, and the two sides happily traded. Guo Shu saw that most of them were not Han Chinese, the Hu people on the grassland, the Silla maids, and even Guo Shu saw two blacks, but now they are called Kunlun Nu, and there seems to be a white man mixed in them, these should be transported by Persian merchants, and the openness and prosperity of Dayue can be seen.

After waiting for a long time, the door of this private room was slowly pushed open, and a man dressed in linen clothes, with an elegant appearance, and a lot of grace between his demeanor, looked shrewd and restrained. The man saw Guo Shu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed and could see the gods, he trembled a little with excitement, and took two steps forward, but he felt that it was inappropriate, for fear of disturbing the demure woman by the window, so he withdrew his steps and walked as slowly as possible to hide the excitement in his heart, but he couldn't hide the red eyes.

The man walked to the table, stopped deliberately, straightened his clothes, and as soon as he arched his hand, the demure woman by the window suddenly turned around, showed a delicate smile, and lightly opened her lips and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's been good lately." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Niancun instantly took him back to the border town of Mingxi ten years ago. Ten years have passed, and when he says goodbye, it will still be the little woman he saw when he lifted the curtain. Ten years ago, that little woman almost gave their family another life, and ten years later...

In just a moment, my mind turned back and forth, returning to the body of a woman who had still grown into a graceful woman at this time. Li Niancun moved his lips a few times, turned a few times, and finally spit out two words tremblingly: "Miss..."

With only these two words, Guo Shu understood, Li Niancun not only remembered the kindness of the year, he still regarded himself as the slave standing on the side of the street waiting for the buyer in front of Guo Shu, even if Guo Shu returned the contract, but in Li Niancun's heart, he was still the slave who sold himself to Guo Shu, and served Guo Shu as the master.

Guo Shu was silent, and the charcoal fire on the table burned red and crackled. A pair of white plain hands deftly poured water, put tea leaves, and began to make tea. Li Niancun was stunned, but he didn't say anything, when he turned his eyes, he saw Qing'er sitting at the table, Li Niancun only felt familiar, closed his eyes and thought about it carefully, suddenly thought of something, and smiled.

Guo Shu happened to finish washing the tea, turned his head and saw it, chuckled, and asked, "What do you see? Can you laugh? Sit." ”

Li Niancun arched his hand before sitting down, glanced at Qing'er, and Qing'er also looked over, her eyes full of doubts. Li Niancun was looked at each other for a moment, and turned his head a little embarrassed, only to find that Guo Shu was also inquiring, smiled to relieve the embarrassment, and explained: "When I went to buy things from Boss Liu in Mingxi Town, I saw one with her," Li Niancun pointed at Qing'er, "A little girl who looks very similar, and a little boy drilled into the box, I felt very puzzled at the time, and later, I forgot about it when I was busy." ”

Li Niancun looked at the two who didn't react, he was stunned, and thought that he had seen it wrong, and joked: "Look, I recognized the wrong person, and I hope the girl doesn't mind." ”

Guo Shu laughed sullenly, "You read that right, I lost you, I also bought someone back, and the money was well spent." Guo Shu started the joke, Li Niancun was stunned for a moment before he realized that Guo Shu was joking, and also echoed and laughed a few times, but Qing'er was a little stunned, she was too young at that time, and she didn't have any impression, Guo Shu and Wu Hao didn't mention it, she didn't understand the jokes of the two, so naturally she didn't laugh.

As a result, the two of them dissipated their sense of strangeness, and both of them began to talk about their anecdotes in the past ten years. Black tea also seemed to suit Li Niancun's appetite, and he drank a lot of tea, and after a while, Li Niancun got up and said goodbye.

The wall behind him was pulled apart at once. It looked like a wall, but it was actually a door that connected to another room. Wu Hao walked out from behind and sat opposite.

"Brother, it's been good lately. Qing'er took Wu Hao's hand and greeted him cordially.

Wu Hao just nodded, which was a response, the two of them had long been used to it, and they didn't feel anything wrong. Wu Hao said: "The impact of the last time was too great, and the King of Chu is now showing goodwill, if it drags on any longer, I'm afraid that the King of Chu will be angry, do you want to do it now?"

"No, he won't be angry now, and the Guo family is not something he can do if he says he can move. Let's keep Zheng's life for now, there is no need to start keeping filial piety now. Guo Shu rejected Wu Hao.

Wu Hao pondered for a while, and also affirmed Guo Shu's thoughts, and then said: "The plague over there in Yuezhou is still going on, but the king of Chu has been setting up cards all the way, and most of the displaced people have been imprisoned before they have arrived in the capital. ”

"It's not yet time for a complete outbreak, the King of Chu naturally won't let it appear, let it be, only when the snipe and clam fight, is the time for us to benefit, anyway, he has 10,000 ways to get himself out, don't worry about it." ”

"There is one more thing, I found it out, Wang Yu, sure enough, is the eldest son of Ni Zheng who disappeared more than ten years ago, and he is also the only son now, Miss is really good at remembering. ”

"Zhongshu Ling Ni Zheng," Guo Shu curled the corners of his mouth, "I just saw Mrs. Ni back then, as soon as I saw Wang Yu's face, I felt like I saw Mrs. Ni again, I just guessed in my heart, it seems that I am very lucky, with Wang Yu's card, I don't have to worry about Ni Zheng, the old fox, not standing in line." The border war has come to an end, and His Royal Highness is about to return to the court, so let's prepare. ”

Wu Hao still hesitated, but he didn't say anything more. He knew that even if he said it, he couldn't change Guo Shu's plan. Guo Shu didn't care how many innocent people would die in this plague at all, she only cared about whether her goal could be achieved. It seems that from the moment he saw her, she only had her own interests in her heart.
