Chapter XXVI
Liu Yu was a little curious, why Zhuang Yan showed great confidence in Pei Ze once or twice... and care. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info said that it was a life-saving grace, but this also went too far! The last time I went all the way to Liangzhou, just to send a personal favor in person, but the two didn't even see each other, so she went back to Xi'an; This time it is even more outrageous, not hesitating to gamble the Western Regions caravan to let them go to the battlefield to fight hard, but also to save Pei Ze, you must know that the Western Regions caravan, together with the Liaodong caravan and the Nanyang caravan, are the main source of wealth for the warehouse in recent years, if it is easily damaged, I am afraid that the income of the warehouse will be reduced by two percent. Others may not know what these two percent represent, but Liu Yu is the big shopkeeper, and he knows very well that less than two percent of his income is equivalent to one less four courtyards in seven or eight good locations in the capital. is also a splashing wealth, Zhuang Yan didn't blink his eyes, so he gave it away.
But he also knows that this kind of thing can't be said or asked, it can only rot in his heart. Zhuang Yan said that it is to repay the kindness, that is, to repay the kindness, there is no other possibility.
Zhuang Yan had a bottom on Liu Yu, thought for a while, and said: "I know that if the caravan loses in it, it will be a deal that outweighs the loss, but this is a favor for me to repay Pei Ze, so you can tolerate my claim this time." "Although Liu Yu is the big shopkeeper, they said at the beginning, all the interests are divided into three or seven accounts, and if they lose, it is also related to Liu Yu's interests, so Zhuang Yan must make it clear in advance.
Liu Yu waved his hand indifferently, "The owner raised me, so that I earned my family business today." If you want to repay the favor, I will naturally do my best. Besides, General Pei's young hero must have disappeared after a good plan, and maybe our caravan will make a lot of money because of this charcoal in the snow! It is also their honor to follow General Pei to make contributions. ”
Such words dispelled Zhuang Yan's restless mood all night, but she did not forget to advise: "If someone is unwilling to go, let him stay, I don't force it, after all, this is a private matter, and his life is in danger." ”
Liu Yu said yes again and again, and the two discussed for a while, Zhuang Yan said that he couldn't stay for a long time, so he got up and left.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a person standing at the door, with a handsome appearance and extraordinary bearing.
"Sister."
It is the king of Duan.
Zhuang Yan was a little surprised, looking at Baizhu Baizhi outside the door, both of them lowered their eyes, and suddenly felt a little flustered, I don't know how much she and Liu Yu's words were heard just now, "How long have you been here?" Zhuang Yan asked briskly.
King Duan smiled slightly: "Knowing that you went out today, I will come with you." You were in a hurry to go upstairs and didn't notice me. Seeing that Zhuang Yan was still staring at him without saying a word, he sighed, "You and Shopkeeper Liu are discussing matters, I have been waiting here for a while." ”
Zhuang Yan's face suddenly filled with anger, and he glanced at Baizhu Bai Zhi fiercely.
King Duan relieved the siege for the two: "Don't blame them, I want to stand here, no one can stop me." ”
This is indeed the reason, but what Zhuang Yan is annoyed about is not that Baizhu failed to stop King Duan in time, but that with King Duan's mind, after listening to what happened just now, it is inevitable that he will make more associations. Thinking that what he had been keeping secret could be easily seen through like this, Zhuang Yan was a little ashamed.
But Duanwang is her younger brother and her only relative, and she can't let even the slightest crack appear in this sister-brother relationship that is difficult to maintain, so she can't show face to Duanwang.
What a person Duanwang is! I had already guessed that Zhuang Yan would behave like this, and this time I came to prove that my previous guess was true. He has always regretted that he dragged down Zhuang Yan's karma in his previous life, and now that he has such a good opportunity, how can it be difficult to match?
So King Duan smiled very heartily: "Sister can have this heart, and I am also glad for the soldiers of Daqin." Not to mention that Pei is a rare general, this time against Xiliang is very important to my Daqin; Just to say that he and I have grown up in friendship, and I once served as the companion of the prince's brother, so it makes sense that I should send someone to the northwest to investigate. It just so happened that Sister Ah thought of it one step ahead of me, so it was better to plan this matter together. ”
Zhuang Yan knew that he was resolving the embarrassment for himself, and since Duanwang was going to pretend to be stupid, she was not polite, and quickly analyzed: "You are at a critical time, and you can't easily show your hole cards." It's better to follow my plan, the caravan will go to help first, and then you will arrange more manpower in Liangzhou, so as not to give Wei Wuyi the opportunity to sue the wicked first, as long as someone testifies, the dirty water will not be poured on General Pei. ”
King Duan secretly praised Zhuang Yan for being thoughtful and thoughtful. Indeed, he could have sent his own dead soldiers to the front line, so that it would be easier to gain Pei Ze's trust and support in many places in the future, but there were pros and cons, if he was caught by King Rong, according to his suspicious temperament, I am afraid that he would not have a chance to save the position in his life. Moreover, the army is now the eyeliner of the Wei family, if it starts with the Northwest Army, it will also attract speculation, it is better for the Liangzhou garrison to do this favor, just say that it is a businessman outside the Guanxi Cable, which is not only reasonable, but also can take himself out.
As for Pei Ze's side, he still had to think of a way to let him know the relationship between the Western Regions caravan and Zhuang Yan. Kindness and kindness, there are many graces, and it is difficult not to have feelings.
King Duan made up his mind and said: "Just according to what Sister Ah said, you just need to find him, and I will take care of the aftermath when I come back." But I don't know what the strength of the caravan in the Western Regions is? "Can you take that responsibility?
Zhuang Yan was quite confident, "There are about a hundred people, most of them are disciples of the Northwest Martial Arts Family, and some..." "I also used to sell illicit salt, and my martial arts are all first-class, I'm only worried that they don't want to take risks......"
King Duan glanced at Zhuang Yan, he was still bold! Even the smuggled salt sellers felt under their command.
"There are not many people who are expensive, Sister Ah has the ability to know people, and the people around her must not be bad, especially if she also gives them such an important burden as the caravan in the Western Regions, it must not be underestimated." By the way, he also praised Liu Yu and the Bai brothers and sisters present.
Zhuang Yan smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm all a little fight, where can I see it in your eyes." ”
This is too modest, if it weren't for the escort of the thousands of family fortunes earned by Sister A, how could he have fought his way out of the adversity of the enemy in his previous life, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhuang Yan is the number one hero of his ascension. If it weren't for the fact that he had a bad relationship with Xiang Hong later, and Xiang Hong and Wei Qi joined forces to give him a lot of stumbling blocks, he thought that he would be in the middle palace earlier.
"I have a sister like you, and others will only envy me!" Duanwang said softly.
Zhuang Yan was distracted by such a coquettish Duanwang, and he didn't pursue the fact that Duanwang must have placed eyeliner next to him, and there was a hint of joy in his voice, "Then our sister and brother are destined, with a brother like you, others will only envy me!" ”
Liu Yu couldn't help but feel surprised on the side, in fact, King Duan had already come, but he only saw Zhuang Yan's carriage parked downstairs, so he temporarily avoided it. Duan Wang didn't say a word when he sat inside, he was completely cold, how did the owner come, he became a child, and the usually ruthless owner also doted on Duan Wang a lot. It seems that it is really not a family, and it does not enter the door.
However, could it be that King Duan had already known Zhuang Yan's intention today, so he specially waited? Thinking of the embarrassment when the two opened the door and met just now, Liu Yu felt that he knew something that he shouldn't know...... I can't help but feel a chill in my neck.
