Chapter 440: A businessman after all

Guanzhong County, deep in Wu's house.

Mrs. Wu put down the hookah stick in his hand, coughed, and the maid behind him gently beat the old lady's back with a soft jade hand, and after a while, he changed to pinch his shoulder, and the whole process did not stop for a moment, and it was obvious that it was not the first time he had done this.

Although Mrs. Wu was still coughing, his face was quite enjoyable, and the girl's gentle massage made his old tree a little bit sprouted.

Although he is no longer able to do it in some aspects, the true colors of a man have been brought into full play by this Mrs. Wu.

Fortunately, he was not alone in this room, and some actions could only happen at night. It wasn't staged in front of anyone else.

"Go down. After Mrs. Wu's coughing stopped, he commanded lightly.

The maid said a blessing, "Yes, grandpa." "

Wait until the maid leaves. All that was left in the room was a bunch of old antiques.

They are representatives of the six surnames and the other five surnames in Guanzhong.

Coming together is the most terrifying force in Guan.

To exaggerate, destroying this room is equivalent to destroying half of Guanzhong County's combat power.

It's just that the current Wu Mansion has been firmly protected, and the outside of this room. There are countless masters standing on it.

Mrs. Wu asked, "How is the general surnamed Su?"

"Shut it up. The Zhou family said lightly: "The bones are quite hard. "

"Don't be lazy. Mrs. Wu said: "Maybe it will be used in the future, after all, we lack talents in this area." General Su can't fight, but his resourcefulness is okay. "

The Zheng family grandfather sneered: "It's okay to be a fart, haven't you been caught by us?"

"Don't be proud before something big happens. The princess of the Wang family said lightly.

The other Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Qian also nodded one after another, agreeing with the words of Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wu raised his hand, pressed down slightly, stopped the dispute, and said with a little difficulty: "Anyway, we have finally waited for a good opportunity to rise, Guanzhong County has been dormant for hundreds of years, and it will finally be completely changed in our hands." This is a historic moment, and there must be no mistakes. We must unite all the forces that can be united, and of course those who are stubborn can only be eliminated. "

The grandfather of the Zhou family said: "Datang has broken its promises, and the promises made back then are now gone, since they are unkind first, we will naturally be unjust." But according to my investigation, the one on the dragon chair now seems to be a little disgusted with his Guanzhong bloodline. "

Mrs. Wu said: "It takes time to change the concept, and there is no urgency. If he is really disobedient in the future, he will be replaced. "

"Agreed. Several other masters chimed in.

"The problem now is that in Chang'an City, there are still many heirs of our families. At the beginning, in order to control us, Li Hong forcibly ordered each family to send out their own informed bloodline, nominally to go to Chang'an to study. In fact, it is control, and according to the news from Chang'an City, Li Tong assigned Lu Tiansuo to keep an eye on our sons, and we have no way to smuggle these people out of the city. The grandfather of the Zhou family said, "How is this good?"

Mrs. Wu said: "It is impossible to make money without losing money in any transaction. The key is what the ratio of wins and losses is. Sacrificing these people can be exchanged for the entire Datang, and we will make money no matter how this deal is calculated. Since they have to calculate the world, what does it matter if they die some bloodline? Besides, their deaths are also very valuable, at least involving a lot of the energy of the Chang'an defenders. Besides, how could I, the son of Guanzhong, ever fear death? If it is really an irretrievable death. Their names will be engraved on the ancestral books. "

At this time, the grandfather of the Zheng family interjected: "I think it's too pessimistic for you to think about things. Li Tong is tough, but his mother is our person, and soon Chang'an City will fall into an embattled situation, and unless the Li family wants to be exterminated, he will inevitably consider a way out after the destruction of the country. What's the way out? Naturally, it's just to find a thick thigh to hug you?"

"The temple will not accept the Li family, and the other countries are eager to kill the Li family, so Li Tong is the only thigh he can hold. It's just us in Guanzhong County. At that time, he should be proud that he still had half of the Guanzhong County bloodline on his body, and as for those Guanzhong children who were trapped in Chang'an City, they became his comrades. Would Li Tong be stupid enough to do something to his comrades?"

The prince of the Wang family applauded: "Wonderful, really wonderful! Your analysis is very close to my heart. "

Old lady Zheng hugged her fists: "Accept and concede." "

The master of the Qian family, who had not spoken much, spoke: "Do you all think that the war will go on smoothly? Will there be any strength to fight back? That's the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty that has stood for thousands of years, the invincible Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty that has academies!"

These words were like a basin of cold water, which calmed down the other old men who were all ready to cheer.

Mrs. Wu sighed and said: "Lao Qian is right, we still can't be too optimistic. The Tang Dynasty has stood for thousands of years and has gone through thousands of battles, large and small, although they have also lost, but compared with their victories, the battles they lost are really not worth it. For the last moment, we can't be too relaxed. "

The grandfather of the Zhou family was still as cold as water, and said: "We are just businessmen in Guanzhong, but the business we did this time is a little bigger." The real main force is not in us, in Daomen, in the Six Nations. Especially Daomen, they have wanted to annex Datang for a long time. The Xin Zhige incident made Daomen lose face back then, and Yue Jingyu hadn't shown his face in Middle-earth for so many years. If Datang does not die, this shame will not be eliminated. Therefore, Daomen will definitely fight desperately against Datang and attack Chang'an. What we have to provide is only financial resources, but this is the last thing we lack. So, why be afraid?"

"Then what if Datang wins in the end?"

The master of the Zhou family glanced at him and said, "The master is dead." "

Four simple words, all the true meaning.

Yes, the master is dead, so it is natural for the Tang Dynasty to destroy the country.

Someone looked up.

Although overhead is the ceiling. But the sight seems to be able to penetrate the ceiling and see the red moon in the sky.

"You say, why did the master become a red moon?" asked the master of the Zhang family.

Others responded, "Who knows?"

Mrs. Wu said: "Don't you think everything is very ironic? The master has become a red moon, but he can only watch the Tang Dynasty perish, what a torment it is? And the sixth gentleman in the academy, speaking of which, the master's death has nothing to do with him, if he hadn't desperately protected Ye Yixuan, the daughter of the demon king, the master would not have ascended to the sky to fight against the Heavenly Dao, nor would he provoke the revenge of the Heavenly Dao. You say, that Mr. Six can't really be one of us, right?"

After speaking, the eyes of the others fell on the Zhou family master.

All surnamed Zhou.

"Don't look at me, our family can't have such a son. Mrs. Zhou hurriedly cleared up the relationship.

"Actually, I think that maybe we can try to contact the sixth gentleman, maybe we will rebel? The Zheng family said jokingly.

The other old ladies also laughed along.

The room was filled with cheerful air inside and out.

A prison somewhere in Guanzhong County.

The veteran general of Su Chunjun has been locked up here for more than half a month.

His beard was unkempt and haggard, locked in a corner of his cell, his head bowed.

The militia guarding outside the cell felt a little sorry for the general.

He should be the most aggrieved general in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

After a while, a middle-aged man from the Wu family walked to the door of the cell and said to General Su Chunjun: "General Su, how did you think about the matter discussed before?"

Su Chunjun didn't react.

The man surnamed Wu frowned and motioned for the soldiers to call the cell.

As the chains were unfastened, the low cell door was pushed open, and a soldier walked in and stabbed Su Chunjun with the tail of the spear in his hand.

Still no response.

The man's face sank instantly.

Is it dead?

He bent down and walked into the cell, pushed the soldier away, grabbed Su Chunjun by the hair and lifted him up.

Su Chunjun slowly opened his eyes, but those eyes were full of turbidity, and they had lost their former brilliance.

The man surnamed Wu snorted and said, "General Su, do you think this is interesting?"

Su Chunjun opened his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.

The man surnamed Wu said, "Bring water." "

The soldier forcibly poured a bowl of cold water on Su Chunjun.

"Can you talk now?" asked the man surnamed Wu.

Su Chunjun leaned against the cold wall: "What do you want to ask?"

"Results. The man surnamed Wu said coldly: "Cooperation, or death, I want results." "

"Do I have a pick?" Su Chunjun smiled bitterly.

"Yes. The man surnamed Wu said: "Cooperation, you can go out, drink broth, eat barbecue, and take a hot bath." If you refuse, all your men will be decapitated. Their bodies would be thrown under the cliffs of Aomine Gorge, and there would be no bones left in the true sense of the word. General Su has always loved soldiers like children, so he must not watch his soldiers being slaughtered. "

Su Chunjun said: "Do you know what you are doing?"

The man surnamed Wu said, "Do business." "

"Using the Tang Dynasty as a bargaining chip?" Su Chunjun asked rhetorically.

"I don't have to explain this to you, you just have to answer me, cooperation, or death. The man surnamed Wu obviously lost his patience: "I'm not afraid to tell you that Meng Zhulu is dead." "

Su Chunjun's face changed suddenly: "You killed Marshal Meng?!How can you do this!"

The man surnamed Wu said: "We are businessmen, and businessmen do not kill people. The person who killed Meng Zhulu was to paint the holy willow Jianbai. The Tang Dynasty has become the enemy of the whole world, so why should General Su accompany it to hell with him?"

Su Chunjun closed his eyes in pain, and after being silent for a long time, he said with great difficulty: "Okay, I'll cooperate." "
