Chapter 367: Open Fight and Secret Fight
Liu Fu is the richest man in Dongjun City, and the dancing girls and singers raised in the mansion are naturally not easy to see in other places. The Liu Mansion dancers dancing in the hall were only wearing a dress similar to light yarn, and only two important parts of it were covered by a red cloth, showing their graceful body in front of everyone. With the sound of the somewhat obscene musical instrument, it makes people quite excited.
In addition to Meng Tian and Liu Xiaoye, the Li Qing brothers who came with Meng Tian when did they encounter such a battle, plus they were all strong men like tigers and wolves, after being seized from the cottage, they had not touched a woman for a long time, and today they followed Meng Tian to Liu's mansion, and saw such a scenery that they had never seen in their lives, and they were embarrassed to get up, their faces were red, they only cared about drinking, and then peeked at the woman dancing in front of them.
The doormen of the Liu Mansion were no longer surprised by such a scene, they just drank wine leisurely, and then a few people talked about something in private, and from time to time they glanced at the people sitting opposite them, their eyes full of contempt.
Liu Xiaoye toasted Meng Tian and said: "General Meng, in the past, Xianyang City said goodbye, and said that today you and I are reunited again, it has been nearly 20 years, and when I see the general again, the general's demeanor is better than in the past, haha...... General, please!"
Meng Tian picked up his wine glass and responded: "Back then, I was just a little general who had just led the army, where was there any style to speak of, but it was you who made me a little impressed." β
"Oh?" Liu Xiaoye drank the wine in the glass in his hand and asked, "I don't know why General Meng is impressed by Zaixia, can you tell me about it?"
Meng Tian also finished drinking, put the wine glass on the table, and said to Liu Xiaoye: "When I met you for the first time, you looked like a gentleman, relying on Lord Xiangguo to support you in Xianyang City. β
"Then it seems that the general's opinion of me has changed a little today, right?" Regarding what Meng Tian said about his opinion of himself, although what he said was a little ugly, Liu Xiaoye didn't act angry, just looked at Meng Tian with a smile on his face and asked.
However, after listening to Meng Tian's words, some people in the Liu Mansion who were sitting below were quite angry and wanted to say a word or two for their master, but after seeing that Liu Xiaoye had no reaction, some people still dispelled this idea. After all, the person sitting on the throne is none other than Meng Tian, a general who holds the power of millions of soldiers and horses in the world, and is also the secretary of the Qin State.
After listening to Liu Xiaoye's words, Meng Tian laughed and said, "Yes, yes, I am looking at you today, but it is different from you before." Although I have led the army to build the Great Wall at the border pass over the years, I also received news when Lord Xiangguo died, but at that time, I was fighting against the Hu people, and it was inconvenient for me to come. At that time, I got some news about you, and I knew that you had taken care of the business that Lord Xiangguo had entrusted to you in an orderly manner, and that you had paid a lot of taxes for the Qin State every year, so I knew that you had changed, and you were no longer the gentleman who only bought and sold by force. β
Hearing Meng Tian talk about his father-in-law, Liu Xiaoye's face was sad. "Yes, since my father-in-law resigned from His Majesty the Emperor, I have been unhappy every day since I returned to the fief, and I have no heart to take care of the affairs of the fief, so I took over my father-in-law's business and took care of the business and the affairs of the fief for him. Until my father-in-law passed away and the fief was recovered, I was not my father-in-law's biological son, and I was not eligible to inherit my father's title and fief, so I had to continue to take the test to run a business and make a living. Fortunately, God treats me well, coupled with His Majesty's domination of the world, the people live a peaceful life, and the business under my name is getting better and better, so I have today's family business. β
Speaking of Lu Buwei, Meng Tian also sighed. The Qin State was able to have today, although LΓΌ Buwei did not say that he was a great contributor, but he also played a great role. Without him, His Majesty the current Emperor might have died early in Handan, Zhao State, and without his early knowledge and good use of people and leading troops to fight, Qin's pace of dominating the world would not have been so smooth. It's a pity that Lu Buwei takes the desire for power too seriously, coupled with those rumors about him and the Queen Mother, the former king and His Majesty the current emperor, which made Yingzheng very unhappy in his heart, and in the end he had no choice but to end up in a depressed end, I can only say that everything is providential, no wonder others.
"For Lord Xiangguo, Meng Tian used to admire him very much, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is because of him that His Majesty the Emperor has today's status, but this is ...... I can only say that he didn't see the situation clearly, and he took power too seriously, and Chang Yu's rebellion was also related to Lord Xiangguo, so he naturally couldn't continue to do it in Xiangguo's position. β
Liu Xiaoye raised his glass again to toast Meng Tian and said, "Thank you for the general for saying these just words for his father-in-law, the villain thanked the general for his father-in-law." With that, he drank the wine in his glass.
Meng Tian didn't continue to drink, just put the wine glass to his lips and took a shallow sip before putting it back on the table. "It's nothing, it's just a fact. But I have come today to ask you for a test. β
"Oh, I don't know what General Meng is looking for the villain? If the general needs anything in Dongjun, even if he tells the villain, he doesn't dare to say anything else, in Dongjun, as long as the general speaks, the villain will definitely be able to do it for the adult. Young Master Liu said to Meng Tian.
Meng Tian didn't speak, just looked at the dancing girls in the arena and the people from Liu Fumen sitting on the side.
Liu Xiaoye understood, stretched out his hand, and dispersed the dancing girl singer and his own people, and he didn't even glance at Li Qing and the others brought by Meng Tian. He is naturally not afraid of Meng Tian in his heart, even if Meng Tian is a general who commands a million-strong army of the Qin State, or a top-ranking martial artist in the world, Liu Xiaoye does not believe that Meng Tian dares to hurt himself in his mansion. He is not only the richest man in Dongjun now, but also inextricably linked with some officials, wealthy businessmen, and the garrison of Dongjun.
Meng Tian was quite appreciative of Liu Xiaoye's bold behavior, and he was really not afraid that he would kill him.
"Okay, now there are no outsiders here, the general can say it, and the villain will listen to it. Liu Xiaoye said with a fist at Meng Tian.
Meng Tian also drank the wine in the wine glass in front of him, and then looked at Liu Xiaoye and said: "Dongjun has rebelled in the past two years, I think you should know, right? As far as I know, Dongjun occupies the main road to the counties of Shandong, and caravans from different places will pass by here every day, I checked, basically every caravan passing through here has a precedent of being robbed by robbers or rebels, only your caravan has never been hijacked, can you tell me the truth?"
After saying this, Meng Tian looked at Liu Xiaoye's eyes with murderous intent, the relationship between this person and the bandits, bandits and the traitorous party, although the Meng family's army and the iron guard did not find out, but they already had eyebrows. If Liu Xiaoye is just colluding with those bandits and robbers, then he still has something to do with that group of rebels, which Meng Tian can't tolerate.
Liu Xiaoye looked at Meng Tian's eyes looking at him, and he also saw the danger signal in Meng Tian's eyes.
"Well, in fact, the reason is very simple, in addition to the normal goods that my caravan needs to carry for business, there are some things that are used to honor these people. For these people, all you need to do is give them what they want, feed them, and they will naturally not come to fight my caravan again. I don't know if General Meng believes this explanation of mine?" Liu Xiaoye replied in a very ordinary tone with a fearless face.
Meng Tian just stared at Liu Xiaoye's face, trying to find a flaw in it, but he found nothing. "That's natural, I'm a man of marches and wars, and I don't know anything about business. If that's the secret of your business, I don't have anything to say. β
"Hahaha, General, where is the secret of doing business. I'm just a businessman, and all they want is money, and if you don't satisfy them, then they will take all my goods, and I won't get a penny, but if I give them what they want, they won't embarrass me. Speaking of which, this is the same as General Meng, you leading the troops to fight, don't you say?" Seeing that Meng Tian's expression eased, Young Master Liu also relaxed, and asked Meng Tian with a smile.
Meng Tian nodded, "That's not bad, but since you have connections with these people, I wonder if you can help me?"
"The villain still says the same thing, as long as the general has an order, the villain agrees. β
"Okay, I came to Dongjun on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor this time, firstly for the Stone of Mars, and secondly for the suppression of the traitorous party. You don't need to worry about this first thing, I only know the second thing, how can you help me?" Meng Tian asked.
Meng Tian's request made Liu Xiaoye's face sink, he naturally knew about the betrayal, and his relationship with this group of people was not ordinary, of course, these things were not known to Meng Tian, otherwise he would not have sat here today and talked to himself with good words to talk about conditions. But if Meng Tian wants to let him help him to exterminate the rebels, then he is very reluctant in his heart, but he can't refuse Meng Tian, otherwise he will put a charge of fornicating with the rebels on his own, and everything will be over, and the great plan in his heart will be completely ruined.
