It seems that the lame man's analysis may be correct, after the representative of the Qian chaebol came to Dunhuang, he stayed with Cao Ye all day and spent all day drinking, and did not seem to have the slightest interest in Chen Mu's textile factory.

He may have come with a clear mission, that is, to fight for one-fifth of the land in Dongcheng for Cao Sui, and when he has the land, he can participate in the construction.

It is said that they had even greater ambitions, and they planned to make good use of the fifth of the land and build the tallest building, as if standing out from the crowd and becoming a landmark in the city of Dunhuang.

In this way, as soon as people come to Dunhuang, they will see the majestic building, and then say that this is the masterpiece of Cao Sui.

Hearing the news, Chen Mu was half happy and half worried, and said: "Cao Sui loves his name and loves it to the bones. ”

Zhang Han sat opposite Chen Mu, tasting the wine produced by the old man of Adjara, listening to Chen Mu's words, he put down the wine glass and said: "He did this just to show off." ”

Chen Mu nodded slightly: "I'm worried that the quality of the building is not up to standard, and if it collapses, hundreds or thousands of lives may be lost in an instant." ”

Zhang Han habitually touched the handle of the knife: "Planning to block?" ”

Chen Mu said in a deep voice: "You can't let him be too unscrupulous, and there is no need to force him to be in the limelight, otherwise it will suppress his enthusiasm." After all, his presence is beneficial to us. I want to build Dunhuang into the first city in southern Xinjiang, but I ignore one problem, that is, the geographical location of Dunhuang. I hadn't thought about building a country in the Western Regions before. If the country is really founded, I will not arrange the capital in Dunhuang. ”

"Where are you going to do that?"

Chen Mu held the whip in his hand and pointed to the "Jiaohe City" on the map.

Zhang Han frowned: "The nest of the Sogdians." ”

Chen Mu nodded: "With my own strength, it is difficult to quickly unify the sixteen small countries in the Western Regions, I need the help of a few small countries that can fight, and the Sogdians must be one of them." The Sogdian king Alidayi had a large army at his command, and they had a wealth of experience in warfare, and they belonged to a belligerent people. ”

Zhang Han said with some concern: "I'm afraid that I can share hardships, but not happiness." ”

Chen Mu put down his whip: "Once, I wanted to establish a federal state, I don't know if you can understand what I mean, that is, after I unify the sixteen small countries, I still guarantee the interests of their royal family and govern the local area instead of me, but they only have a few servants, but no army." Nor will it be allowed to secede from my country.

But then I thought about it, and I felt that such a country would not last long, a bit like the meaning of the Eastern Zhou countries. After all, the Western Regions is too big, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and the news is closed, so my idea is a bit whimsical. So I decided to use the lame method, hit one and kill the other.

But I can't wipe them all out, I still have to keep a few examples of obedience, and I have to protect the interests of a few friends. My initial plan is to win over Alidayi, Mazun, and Dadamuti, and for those countries that take the initiative to submit to the Great Liang, I can also open the net and be relatively gentle with them, but compared to the previous three, it is still much stricter, and the other countries will not be so lucky, they must disappear from this world. ”

Zhang Han said resolutely: "You can think about the things that take your brains, and if you think about it, I'll go and fight." ”

Chen Mu laughed: "You can't be alone, you have to pay more attention to the people around you and tap talents appropriately." The main purpose of my establishment of Dunhuang Academy is also to discover talents. Many people are reluctant to go directly to the army to start as a small soldier, so they give these people a chance to let them take the college entrance examination first. But they must be capable people to get in. And I, the principal, will be their leader in a preconceived idea. Perhaps, they will become the backbone of my fight against the world. ”

In the second year of heaven, August 29.

Palm light time.

Luoyang City, Pingkangfang, an alley to the east of the Chenjia Inn.

Dozens of people stood lazily at the door of the Red Pavilion on the street, they were the lowest level of the Red Pavilion in Pingkangfang.

Some are already hungry, not to mention the money, even if they give her a bun, they can let a man into their room.

A well-proportioned man appeared at the mouth of the alley, a man in his thirties, wearing a hat and a hat.

Looking up slightly, his eyes were revealed under the hat.

His eyes were gloomy.

For some reason, although he didn't have a weapon on him, when he walked over, he gave people the feeling of being carrying a sharp blade, which made people shudder.

The man walked to the thirteenth restaurant on the right, which was so small that there was not much room left for a bed in the room.

No. 13, the geographical location is not good, the pavilion girl standing on the street is not beautiful, and even a little ugly, although she is dressed in a colorful way, but it will give people a dirty feeling, perhaps because she is bloated and not white.

But the man walked towards her without hesitation.

The woman smiled, smiling charmingly, raising her fat fingers and stirring her sideburns in a bun.

The man asked in a low voice, "Fang Yuke used to live here?" ”

Fang Yu is the Xiao Yu in Xiao Huan's mouth, as soon as she heard Xiao Yu's name, the bloated pavilion girl immediately couldn't laugh.

She said angrily: "We have a lot of Fang Yu here, I don't know which Fang Yu you are talking about?" ”

If the men follow her words, then they can talk about the subject for a quarter of an hour.

The man smiled: "Let's go into the house and talk." ”

As he spoke, he took out two pieces of silver.

When the woman saw the silver, she immediately smiled: "Hey, when you mentioned that dead ghost, I thought you were getting along." The woman turned around, pushed the door open, and still chattered: "With a bit of her appearance, you have robbed our sisters of their business on this street." You say, didn't she smash her job? ”

The man was expressionless and followed the woman into the hut.

As soon as he walked in the door, the man's hand grabbed the woman's neck, forced, forced, twisted.

Just listening to the sound of "click", the woman's neck was broken.

This man is the killer Fang Qing, who was shot by Zhang Han with an arrow.

Fang Qing's combat power was not weak, but he met Zhang Han, who had a higher combat power, and Zhang Han's arrow almost pierced through Yang in a hundred steps.

He killed the woman, and then took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, which contained the paper money and paper figure that Xiaohuan had prepared for Xiaoyu, as well as a requiem flag.

It's all small and exquisite.

When Xiaohuan woke up, Chen Mu comforted her and said that the killer had already left, but in fact, he hadn't left at that time. Because Fang Qing still had to wait for Chen Mu to write a letter, when Fang Qing came to get the letter, Xiaohuan saw him. By the way, prepare some sacrificial things for your friends.

It's not that Xiaohuan is reluctant to spend money on his friends, but it's inconvenient for Fang Qing to carry it.

Fang Qing took out the fire fold, lit the offerings made of oiled paper, and threw them on the body of the bloated pavilion girl.

Burn her.

Until she died, the woman still held the two coins in her hands.

Fang Qing saw it, but he didn't take out the two coins of silver.

Before the fire burned, Fang Qing walked out of the door, stood where the woman was standing on the street just now, and said lightly: "The same is the end of the world." ”

The first is the latest.
