Li Ru saw Liu Bao's hand reaching into his arms, and instantly understood what Liu Bao meant—this is asking for money. Xin said: "If there is a demand, this is easy to do." ”

When Li Ru trained his subordinates, he once said: "There is nothing in the world that money can't solve." ”

The lord Han Cheng came out from the side and added: "If the money can't be solved, then it really can't be solved, if you can run, run quickly!" ”

At that time, everyone was still laughing, and now Li Ru recalled: It is still the realm of the lord, and he sees the problem more thoroughly than himself.

Li Ru hurriedly took out ten taels of gold from his arms, handed it over, and said with a flattering face: "The king of hard work, how can he not express it?" Just a heart, not a respect, please smile at the king. ”

Li Ru's intelligence battalion had limited manpower and did not find out the details of Liu Bao, so he could only take one step at a time.

Liu Bao kicked the gold into his arms, but his heart was like a mirror:

The main reason for coming out this time was that the Gu family, who resold pig iron and horses to the southern Xiongnu tribe, suddenly had no news, so Hu Chuquan asked himself to lead 3,000 people and horses to the south to open up the road of selling pig iron and horses.

Unexpectedly, before he arrived at Yanmen Pass, he bumped into the Bai family's caravan head-on, and I don't know if I can solve my own problem? ”

Liu Bao thought of this and put away his thoughts. Said tentatively to Li Ru and the others:

"Look at you are so sensible, at first glance you are businessmen. Tell me, why don't you stay in the south and come to our grassland? ”

Li Ru looked cunning and cunning, and said, "Hehe, didn't the king ask knowingly, who has nothing to do with running to the prairie to play?" It's not that the Gu family has fallen, our Bai family is not taking over the Gu family's business, with such a huge profit, we are reluctant to give it to others. ”

After listening to Li Ru's words, Liu Bao secretly rejoiced: "After I became this king of Zuo, it was really smooth sailing." Less than fifty miles away, the problem was solved.

However, the time when this group of people appeared was too coincidental, could it be the spies of the Fenwu Army? ”

Liu Bao thought for a moment: "If I introduce this group of Bai family members to the big leader. If they were the merchants who did their duty, and were able to reopen the roads of the South for the sale of pig iron and horses, the great chief would have taken me credit;

If they are the spies of the Fenwu Army, they must have come to calculate the big leader, if they succeed and the big leader is dead, then their own king Zuo is well deserved, and he no longer needs to be controlled by the big leader as he is now;

If they don't succeed, I'll be scolded at most, and I don't know they're spies anyway, hehe. ”

Thinking of this, Liu Bao saw that he didn't suffer a loss, and happily said to Li Ru and the others: "Come!" I'll show you the Great Chief. ”

Li Ru hurriedly said: "Thank you for the king's recommendation, if it comes to fruition, I will prepare five hundred taels of gold to give to the king in person." ”

Liu Baoxin said: "This person is really stingy, if such a big thing is done, he will give five hundred taels." Did you find a way to ask him for more money? ”

......

Li Ru and others, under the leadership of Liu Bao, came to the big tent of Huchuquan all the way unimpeded.

Liu Bao pointed at Li Ru and said to the sergeant guarding the camp: "You go and tell the big leader, and you will say that what the big leader asked me to do has come to fruition." As for this person, he is the merchant I just found, and I will go into the tent to meet the chief in a moment. ”

The sergeant of the guard went to give a message, and in a few moments he returned. said to Liu Bao: "The big leader will let you in." ”

Liu Bao whispered to Li Ru: "When the big leader doesn't ask you, remember not to speak. If you anger the Great Chief, I won't be able to save you. Li Ru nodded to indicate that he understood.

Xin said: "I have long found out Hu Chuquan's temper. If I don't speak, Hu Chuquan won't bully me to death? ”

Entering the big tent, Li Ru's only feeling was dazzling, there were golden vessels everywhere, and the entire tent was full of extravagance.

Liu Bao bowed, lay on the ground and said, "Liu Bao has completed the orders of the big leader, found the family in the south, and is here to return to his life." ”

Hu Chuquan hugged the two bewitching-looking women beside him, and said casually: "Liu Bao, your speed is fast enough, in less than half a day, you can find a family that buys and sells pig iron and horses for us?" ”

Liu Bao listened to Hu Chuquan calling his name in front of the 'Bai family', not Zuo Wang, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes and instantly returned to normal.

This trace of coldness happened to be captured by Li Ru, who lowered his head. Li Ru was secretly happy in his heart:

"This Liu Bao, there is a door. If I came here this time, if I could find an ambitious person in the Southern Xiongnu tribe, it would definitely help me this time. It's really cold, someone sends a pillow, this Liu Bao is definitely not a person who is willing to be subservient. ”

While Li Ru was studying Liu Bao, Liu Bao was lowering his head and said respectfully:

"Tell the big chief, I just walked less than fifty miles to the east when I met someone from the Bai family."

Then he told the process of meeting himself and the people of the Bai family, of course, the part where he took the gold was naturally omitted.

Among the 3,000 people led by Liu Bao, there was a hidden 'shadow' of Hu Chuquan, so before Liu Bao entered the account, Hu Chuquan already knew what had happened.

Seeing that Liu Bao did not hide himself, he consciously hid the part where he took the gold.

Hu Chuquan smiled, and there was a feeling of relief in his heart.

I don't care about Liu Bao's practice of taking gold: the shortcomings of being a little greedy for money are good, and such people are easy to control; Talent with no shortcomings is the most difficult to control.

said to Liu Bao: "You did a good job, go down first." ”

A trace of coldness flashed in Liu Bao's eyes again, "Hmph! Confidential matters, just branch me out? Treat me like a dog completely, and one day, I'll make you regret it. ”

After Liu Bao went down, Li Ruxin said: "The Southern Xiongnu are not monolithic, so it's better to start." ”

Seeing that Li Ru stayed where he was, Hu Chuquan pretended to be serious and said, "Come on, pull this spy down and cut it down." ”

Li Ru held his head high and said: "I thought that the great leader of the Southern Huns was a fearless hero, but I didn't expect it to be a timid rat. ”

Hu Chuquan waved his hand at the incoming sergeants, motioning for them to stop. He smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, do you know the result of the last person who spoke to me like this with this attitude?" ”

Li Ru said: "I don't know! Hum! I am a scholar, and I have no power to tie the chicken, and the big leader talks to me, but he has to arrange for the sergeant to be by his side, not the rat generation? Am I wrong? ”

Hu Chuquan pretended to be angry and said: "You have already said that I am a rat twice, if I don't kill you, others will think that I am afraid of you." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand and motioned to the sergeant to pull Li Ru down.

Li Ru shouted loudly at Hu Chuquan: "Kill me, you try?" If you kill me, I promise you won't get any pig iron, and you won't be able to sell a single horse. ”

Hu Chuquan saw that Li Ru did not show a trace of timidity, and when the sergeant pulled Li Ru to the gate, he said, "Let it go first, I want to ask a few words." Go down first. ”

Li Ruxin said: "Hmph, finally believe me!" I haven't seen any kind of family disciple, let me play the family disciple, I can play until you doubt life. ”

Hu Chuquan, who is suspicious by nature, was indeed testing Li Ru, seeing that Li Ru kept scolding himself and looked fearless, he concluded: "This should be a member of the Bai family."

Because only the people of the family dare to be so rampant.

Han Cheng can't get the support of the family, and everyone in the Fenwu Army is from a poor family, no matter how they act, they can't play the calmness of the disciples of the family. ”

Of course, Ren Hu Chuquan couldn't imagine that the person in front of him was indeed from a poor family, but the people of the family who died in his hands were not one thousand, but eight hundred. I've seen too many families, what kind of thing is Li Ru who hasn't seen it and can't pretend to be?

Seeing that Li Ru didn't speak, Hu Chuquan could only say with a guilty face: "I believe you are from the Bai family, tell me, what are you doing this time?" ”

Li Ruxin said: "Since you are acting, you have to act completely." He said angrily to Hu Chuquan: "Two things. The first is to replace the Gu family and reopen the trade route with the big chief; The second thing is to come and reach an agreement with the big chief: the big chief, my Bai family, and the Xianbei clan of the state, we are the three parties to jointly divide Yanmen County. ”

Hu Chuquan said with a serious face: "Let's talk about the reopening of the ancient family road first." ”

Li Ru also looked serious, and said: "Our head of the family said that the road is still the original road, but the price of the pig iron we give you is one percent higher than that of the Gu family, and the price of the horses we collect you is one percent lower than that of the Gu family." ”

After hearing this, Hu Chuquan said with an unhappy face: "Hmph, your Bai family's appetite is not small." ”

Li Ru continued: "This is already the lowest price, after all, you don't have any other families to cooperate with. Instead of letting the horses graze on the grassland, it is better to change some pig iron. ”
