The anxious Zheng Su waited for Li Ran, who was more anxious than him.

"Lord Zheng, it's not good, it's not good, the army has really mutinied!"

When Li Ran, who had blood on his face and a panicked face, ran from a distance, Zheng Su's heart collapsed.

He's finished, Chang'an is finished...... The army mutinied, and it was not clear what the chaos in the city would become, and how many people would be killed.

"As soon as I entered the city, I was chased and killed by the rebel army, thanks to Pei Min's full protection, I had to escape, and now Chang'an City is in chaos, let's hurry to the surrounding counties, find the post station, and go back to Luoyang to report to the emperor."

Li Ran covered the wound that was still bleeding, and his sad expression stunned Pei Min.

This acting is so coquettish!

In fact, two hours ago, the two of them enjoyed a sumptuous meal in the Chang'an Mansion, drinking wine, soaking in a wooden barrel bath, and the delicate maid rubbing her back with a loofah.

An hour ago, while the two of them were taking a nap, they let the maids pinch their shoulders and beat their legs, and made a full set of horses and chickens.

Half an hour earlier, the two had gone out of the city in a spacious carriage that had not been bumped at all.

Ten minutes ago, Li Ran stepped out of the carriage and slowly smeared the red thing called paint all over his body, and put a few pockets full of paint in his clothes.

However, when he knocked on the farmer's door, he instantly entered the state, and his demeanor was as if he had been running all the way for ten miles.

"Good! I also asked the immortal master to follow us all the way to see the emperor, and we can also help testify. ”

Zheng thought for a moment, there was only one way to go to Luoyang, maybe with the auspicious things found, he could avoid death, as for the black gauze hat on his head, he didn't dare to think about it.

"No problem, wait until I bandage the wound, let's go find the post station immediately."

Li Ran nodded in agreement, Zheng Su was moved again, what a good young man, not to mention helping to find out the information, and personally accompanying him to Luoyang, I will definitely thank him well in the future.

Just as he was about to clean his wounds, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came from outside the door, and there were faint cries of grabbing the party.

"It's not good, I must have been followed when I went out of the city, Lord Zheng, you go quickly, Pei Min and I will help you block the enemy!"

Li Ran's expression changed for a moment, which made Pei Min stunned again.

first surprised, then abrupt, and finally turned into self-blame, which can be called textbook-like acting.

And Zheng Su's expression was equally wonderful, from stunned to suspicious, and then from suspicion to panic.

Obviously, he originally thought that the chasing soldiers were attracted by Li Ran, but this young man proved that he was indeed a good person with practical actions.

"Thank you for your kindness, let's go!"

With a cherished word, Zheng Su fled like a lost dog, and when he rushed out of the door, he found that there were more than ten pursuers, all on horseback.

"Master Zheng, let's go!" , Li Ran sat down on the bench and fought with the cavalry, and Pei Min drew his sword in his hand, with more than one enemy.

The two of them fought fiercely and inextricably with the cavalry, Zheng Su and the others took the opportunity to escape, burrowing into the dense weeds nearby, and when the vision was about to disappear, they suddenly heard a miserable scream.

Looking back, Li Ran's chest spewed out a blood mist two meters high, hiding his face and falling down.

"Hey, this young man, it's a pity." , Zheng sighed secretly, didn't dare to look at it again, and fled in a hurry.

“…… Are they gone? ”

"Well, let's go."

"Then don't help me up!" , Li Ran, who fell in a pool of blood, suddenly turned over and got up from the ground, shook off the dust on his body, and waved at more than a dozen cavalrymen, "It's a good performance, but you have to pay attention to the details, although you have thought of borrowing their armor to wear on your body, but please pay attention to your shoes, the style of this thick-soled fast boot is unique to Luoyang, and it almost got out of the way." ”

Serious education, the other party is embarrassed...... They are all carefully selected dead soldiers by Cheng Bo, and there is nothing wrong with being outspoken, but the jade is not a weapon.

"Let's go, let's go back to the city, don't let the benefits be all taken away by Princess Taiping's girls."

You have to hurry up to share the spoils or something, Li Ran hurried back to the mansion, put the official seal on the table, and said with a smile, "Auntie, help me write a few letters of appointment too." ”

Obviously, at the moment of crisis, Zheng Su did not find that he was missing one thing...... Even if he finds out, it doesn't matter, give him ten dares, and he won't dare to go back to Chang'an again.

After bargaining for more than half an hour, the benefits were finally divided.

Administration, financial power, and the army were inserted into Princess Taiping's henchmen, while Li Ran stuffed a lot of people into household administration, agriculture and animal husbandry, and commerce.

After the matter was completed, Li Ran looked bitter, and wanted to cry without tears, "Auntie, you can take advantage of the old man, the court arranges the position of four waiters, you have to let one out, only three!" ”

"Oh, good nephew, how about letting my aunt and me go back?"

Princess Taiping was full of pride, and the laughter spread throughout the room, "Those positions, I'm not in a hurry to urge you and Brother Xian, you do things, I don't worry." ”

Obviously, she also knew that although the number of official positions obtained by the two sides was about the same, the difference in quality was very different, and it was indeed a big advantage.

"Well, well, who called you my good aunt."

Li Ran was helpless, said goodbye and left, and after walking out of the room, the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed, and he almost didn't look up to the sky hahaha.

"Brother Ran, could it be you......"

Pei Min looked frightened, this sudden change in expression gave him a full crit in his heart, obviously he was quite indignant and upset for Li Ran.

"We stayed in the deep mountains and old forests for ten days, and we are tigers and mosquitoes, so if we don't take advantage of it, how can we be worthy of the hard run?"

"But, no matter how you look at it, you're at a loss."

Pei Min is still confused, he knows a little about officialdom, and he always recognizes the position of real power and the Qingshui Yamen.

"Hey, the scholars of Chang'an City are not stupid, although they were sowing discord and attacking each other and we took advantage of the loopholes, but there is always a time for compromise, these people are unanimous to the outside world, they are still the absolute core that dominates the operation of Chang'an City, but it is not something that can be done by airborne a few high-ranking officials, and it is difficult for a strong dragon to suppress the head snake."

Li Ran smiled and found a fatal flaw of Princess Taiping.

In addition to solving the problem of inadequacy when he came to Junchen, he also ignored the mass line...... The eyes are above the top, and they don't take the lower-class scholars and squires in their eyes at all, but these people are precisely the biggest guarantee for a firm foothold in the mixed land of Chang'an City.

Therefore, Li Ran's next goal is to completely subdue this group of potential forces before Luoyang City's intervention arrives.

First of all, find a breakthrough from the most advantageous point, for example, hold a meeting with the big businessmen in Chang'an.

In the name of the new Chang'an Governor Shi Xue Sixing...... Although this buddy is still in the Luoyang Right Feather Forest Army as a little minion for the meritorious children.

However, all the big businessmen in Chang'an attended the meeting without exception, of course, not for the face of Chang'an's long history, nor for Li Ran's fame, but for real business heavyweights.

Cheng Kee firm!

That's right, it is the business name established by Li Ran in the name of Cheng Bo, which was established by Luling, to Luoyang, to Liangzhou, and Qiuzi, and has developed into a first-class business name in the Tang Dynasty in the past two years with Li Ran's footprints.

The main products are potatoes, hybrid rice, and honeycomb coal.

Because they were all designated as 'auspicious' by Wu Zetian, almost all parts of the Tang Dynasty have been vigorously promoted, and Chang'an, as an important town, is naturally no exception.

Therefore, Li Ran's bait to lure businessmen to take the bait is the right to operate these hot-selling products!
