In the middle of the night, Zhao Xing came to the mansion of Xiangbang Gongsun with a cart of gold beads.

The door of Gongsun Hao's mansion was closed, and the ever-bright lights in front of the door had been extinguished, and Zhao Xing felt very disappointed.

As a result, the housekeeper Han Ce walked over with a smile and confidence: "Your Majesty, the back door of Gongsun Hao is still lit, let's go through the back door." Since then, it has become a kind of performance art and has been handed down.

Zhao Xing was stunned, so he led everyone to the back door of the huge Xiangbang Mansion.

An entourage wanted to call the door, but Zhao Xing stopped him, stepped forward directly, and gently pushed the door open, but the door was not tethered, and it opened as soon as he pushed it. Zhao Xing poked his head out and asked softly, "Is the help at home?" ”

A soft answer: "I've been waiting for Tang for a long time, the wine is getting cold, hurry in" Gongsun Hao appeared in front of Zhao Xing. Before Zhao Xing could say anything, Gongsun Hao saw the heavy carriage and was humble again and again: "Come on, come on, what gifts do you bring." Without waiting for Han Ce to despise his greed Zhao Xing politely, Gongsun Hao directly faced the housekeeper behind him: "Don't attack it, you deserve it, hurry up and count it, and send it to the treasury." ”

Then turned a greedy face into a righteous and strict word: "Think about what Tang Hou said back then, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, it can be said that it resounded all over the world, between you and me, we have already poured into each other, why do you need these?" ”

Zhao Xing, who came from the shock, immediately said solemnly: "The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, but water also requires money, so don't embarrass the brothers who offer wine, isn't this more gentlemanly?" ”

Ya, quite elegant, frankly, quite honest.

When Gongsun Hao saw the housekeeper who was trembling after counting the gifts, he was even more honest with Zhao Xing.

When a good friend comes, of course, he has to say something considerate, and his own words should not be known to outsiders, and it is best to talk in a secret room.

Of course, the secret room is more suitable for talking about conspiracy, and who cares about him at this time.

Zhao Xing's first sentence to Gongsun Xuan was: "As a good friend, I can't watch your death approach, the whole clan is wiped out and indifferent, today, I am here to save you." ”

The ancients were good at making amazing words, which is a common problem, and now it has also been learned by Zhao Xing. In fact, if this had been left in his own home, Zhao Xing would have let the dog bite people a long time ago, but now he must not be shocking and endless, and if he speaks human words, he must follow the local customs.

Of course, Gongsun Xuan, who is always so disgusted by people, said indifferently: "Don't tell me that this is useless, don't you just want me to change my mind and give you the prince of Yan Guo?" You just need to make it clear to me, I will give it to you, what benefits Korea can get, what benefits I can get. ”

Zhao Xing was embarrassed, but admired the integrity of this corrupt official even more. Straight to the point, this is the duty.

Since people go straight to the point, there is no need for him to play false, Zhao Xing calmly took a sip of tea, and then disdainfully: "This little pick, the rest of the tea leaves that his subordinates drink are regarded as the best, what is it?" ”

But in fact, he didn't know that this was already the best tea that Gongsun Hao had come up with, because after all, the price of tea on the market now was more expensive than gold, who let Zhao Xing sell it so expensive by virtue of his monopoly and monopoly of this necessity, otherwise, how could Zhao Xing be so rich.

"I'm not alarmist, but I am really for the sake of Xiangbang, if Xiangbang keeps holding Yan Guogongzi and doesn't let go, you really don't know how to die."

Seeing Zhao Xing's solemnity, Gongsun Hao also solemnly bowed his hand: "Please ask." ”

Zhao Xing put down the teacup and said with a heartfelt heart: "Yan Gongzi's position, in South Korea, is not a strange commodity to live in, but it is the root of the disaster. ”

Strange goods can live, this idiom is not yet available, but this idiom is very straightforward, everyone will understand it as soon as they hear it. Originally, Gongsun extravagance was this purpose, and when the court was against him, the son-in-law became a hot potato. But the arrival of Zhao Xing made Gongsun extravagant use Gongzi as a bargaining chip hostage, well, it is very appropriate to live in a strange commodity.

Zhao Xing looked at Gongsun who had begun to listen intently and said extravagantly: "Time is bartering, strange goods can be lived, and it may also become a hot potato rotting in the warehouse, isn't it the case that the ministry of the son who can't make a decision for more than a month?" ”

Gongsun Hao was just about to explain and argue, but Zhao Xingyi waved his hand: "You and I are brothers who can't be changed, we don't need to say that it's empty." Since you are a Korean helper, of course, you are loyal to South Korea, and I very much agree with this. But I don't think you're worth it to bring Korea to the point where you will never recover, or if your loyalty will become your crime. ”

A car of gifts that made the housekeeper tremble with excitement was enough for Gongsun to help, but he knew that it was more important to stabilize his high position in front of loyal ministers and this car of gold beads.

But Zhao Xing's words, he also had to think about it.

Zhao Xing said bluntly: "Sending Yan Gongzi back to China, what do you think is the chance of winning?" ”

Faced with Zhao Xing's sudden question, Gongsun Hao said calmly: "No matter what chance of winning, as a Korean helper, I must do it, and I must fight for it." ”

Zhao Xing smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I admire your loyal ministers, but I feel even more sorry for the ending of your ambition and dying before you were rewarded." ”

Ambition died before he was paid, this is the biggest regret of all those who want to make a difference, Gongsun Hao couldn't help but lower his stubborn head.

"In this life, in addition to striving for the enjoyment of glory and wealth for oneself, what else should be done, otherwise there will be shortcomings in this life." Then he raised his head and looked at Zhao Xing with rare sincere eyes: "You have owned many titles in just ten years from a wild man of unknown origin, and the territory and wealth you have now are enough to ensure that you are stable and peaceful, enough to make you clothed and fed, but you are still running around and worrying about it, isn't your pursuit also the same?" ”

Looking at this greedy but talented person, this person who wants to show his ambitions, can say such honest words to himself, Zhao Xing looked at it silently for a long time, and then stretched out his hand.

Gongsun Hao looked at Zhao Xing's hand for a while, and also stretched out his hand and held it tightly together, at this time, the two really had the feeling of friends and bosom friends.

Zhao Xing sighed: "For me, brocade clothes and jade food are just a hand-to-hand capture, and it is a passing cloud, and our ultimate goal is to achieve revenge in our hearts and achieve a great cause." ”

Gongsun Xuan interrupted Zhao Xing's words and said, "For this reason, why do we pity the horse leather shroud, why do we regret to die generously?" ”

This is the real life, not willing to be poor, but not hesitating to abandon everything for their ideals.

"But, we have to die as we deserve." Zhao Xing solemnly asserted.

When he came out of Gongsun Hao's mansion and sat in the carriage, the more Zhao Xing thought about it, the more strange it became, and finally he said uncertainly to Han Ce: "This matter, it seems that I have been tricked." ”

Han Ce smiled but said nothing.
