"I heard Grandma say that Qilang is good at abuse, and sure enough!"

Guo Mian was fat, and after saying this, on a cold day, he was sweating, and gently patted his palm, and a handmaid with a slender figure and a beautiful posture walked in, holding a silk robe, and a happy spider with gold and silver threads embroidered on the lower left corner of the clothes. 1357924?6810ggggggggggd『There is another handmaid carrying a copper basin, and the bottom of the basin is also a gold and silver bicolor happy spider, filled with warm water with moderate heat and cold.

Xu You narrowed his eyes, feeling that this happy spider was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while. Guo Mian first cleaned his hands and face with warm water, and then let the maid untie his coat, and just like that, in front of Xu You, he wiped his body and changed into a new set of robes.

Although the Chu people are very popular, there are friends who come to the door, and there are not a few people who change clothes in person, but those who are all beautiful men, Guo Mian's fat body, it really doesn't look so pleasing to the eye.

Sitting down again, Guo Mian was refreshed and looked much more comfortable, with a somewhat playful look in his eyes, and said, "Is there anything Qilang wants to ask me?" ”

Xu You is now a mystery, and naturally there are many things he wants to know, but Guo Mian didn't say it directly, but asked him to ask, how to be arrested, how to be released, and how many things are involved? If he asked, at most two or three questions, it would be impossible to investigate everything in detail, and he would lose his grace. But if you don't ask, it's like helping someone win a gambling game, but you don't even know the bet and the win, which is too embarrassing.

Since Xu You was reborn, he has met all kinds of people, including many old foxes with strict city governments, but he has never seen such a difficult opponent as Guo Mian. He is very good at taking advantage of his body, because the fat man's posture and smile will always make people relax their guard in a relaxed and happy atmosphere, and if they are not careful, they may suffer a dark loss. But this seemingly cunning tactic is just right, and it may make you feel tricky and difficult to deal with, but you won't really get angry because of it.

"What are Guo Gong's plans for the future?"

Regardless of the antecedents or the outcome, the most important question is how Guo Mian should deal with himself in the future. If everything is business as usual, it means that King Jiangxia will not fall behind in this wave of confrontation, and if there is a change, the cause and effect can also be analyzed according to the specific situation. Compared with asking him bluntly how he was arrested and why he was released, it is much more clever and interesting.

Guo Mian laughed when he was on the spot, the master's moves are like a game of chess, and you can only see the real fun when you come and go. In fact, he didn't deliberately make things difficult, he just came casually, took the test for Xu You, and saw how he coped. You must know that it is easiest to see the details of a person in a small place, people have great wisdom, small wisdom and quick wisdom, Xu You can get out of the siege of the Shen family, it can be seen that Xiao Zhi; can break a bloody road in such a chaotic situation in Yangzhou, which shows great wisdom; Today, I saw the urgency and wisdom in the Q&A, which undoubtedly made Guo Mian very satisfied.

For talents, especially those who have enmity with the prince, whether it is King Jiangxia or Guo Mian, they are all interested in making in-depth friends.

The laughter faded away, and Guo Mian leaned on the jade pillow behind him, his gaze seemed to penetrate the roof and project it onto the nine skies. I don't know how long it took, and there was an indescribable loneliness in my eyes.

"The passing will wait for the autumn water, and the scenery will be the old cliff. I will who is bright, appreciate the conscience. 6 Xu's poems are really of the highest quality, and they are very good at my state of mind at this time. Qilang, this prosperous place in Yangzhou...... It's yours from now on! ”

Xu You was shocked, he thought of many endings, but he never thought that what Guo Mian gave up was the whole of Yangzhou!

"Guo Gong, you ......"

Guo Mian sighed, supported the desk with both hands, stood up with a body like a mountain of meat, and said, "Today's talk is all about fun!" Shichiro, since you call me Uncle Shi, I won't say much about thanks, what do you want, just ask, as long as I have it, I will make you happy. ”

"I really don't dare to be, I'm just a fly attached to the tail and a thousand miles, and I have done my best. The ring that Gong Guo gave me just now, if it is enough to pay for it. ”

Xu You temporarily changed his mind, Guo Mian's words contained too much information, and he would not be able to get a glimpse of the whole picture for a while. It's better to take a break and take a look at the reality before making a decision. Thinking about Guo Mian's wealth, he wouldn't really hit himself with a ring!

"In front of wealth and nobility, if you can calm Ruosi, the prosperity of the Xu family is just around the corner!" Guo Mian turned around and walked inside, saying, "The future is terrible, the future is terrible!" Go, Grandma is waiting for you outside, and if you don't understand something, you can ask her for verification! ”

Saying goodbye to Guo Mian, Xu You's spirit was still a little trance, the mountain wind was blowing, it was cold and biting, he shook his head, trying to make himself sober. The nearby palace lights were lit, like stars in the sky, but Wan Qi walked over from the corner with a few maids and said, "Lang Jun, Madam is waiting for you!" ”

Goodbye Zhan Jun, it is very different from before, not only the two of them have separated the green curtain curtain, but Wan Qi is also accompanied by the left and right, and he must not leave for a while. Xu You didn't ask why, it seemed that all this was normal, and after sitting down, he didn't hesitate, and said to himself: "Guo Gong is leaving Yangzhou?" ”

"Yes!"

Zhan Jun's tone revealed a bit of suppressed annoyance, and said: "Not only do people have to leave, but all the Guo family's properties in Yangzhou must also be handed over to the Sili Mansion for disposal, and they must not leave a farm house privately." ”

Xu You was stunned, keenly aware of the deep meaning of this, and said, "Then, Boat Pavilion? ”

Zhan Jun was silent for a while, and said: "The boat pavilion was disbanded, and all the shipwrights were released to their original hometowns, including slaves, and they were also transferred to the people of Qi, and handed over to the counties and counties to be strictly guarded, and allocated fields and mansions to live in peace. ”

Xu You finally understood that the prince targeted Guo Mian, firstly, to cut off the wealth of the king of Jiangxia, the land of Sanwu, and the merchants were the best choice to raise money; Second, it's for the sake of the Ship Pavilion!

Before the Song and Ming dynasties, the espionage system was not up to par, and its importance was often overlooked. For example, in the state of Chu, although there is a Sili Mansion, it is the eyes and ears of the emperor, and it is a supervision agency created by using the manpower and material resources of the whole world, which does not have replicability and reference value. As the crown prince, he does not have a formed spy agency to listen to the dynamics of the government and the opposition for him, let alone talents in this area and forward-looking cognition of the times.

But King Jiangxia is different, or the only difference between King Jiangxia and the crown prince is not in knowledge, but in Guo Mian!

More than ten years ago, the king of Jiangxia sent Guo Mian to Yangzhou for the purpose of accumulating money and no other ambitions. But to everyone's surprise, Guo Mian is not only a business wizard, his real ability and value is actually to engage in some secret organizations that are invisible to people.

For more than ten years, Guo Mian has worked hard to show his talents, on the one hand, he has done business in 22 states of Chu State, "where there is Chu language, see Guo Chuan", which can be described as a world of goods and a rich party, becoming the most stable and powerful source of wealth for the king of Jiangxia; On the other hand, with his sense of smell and organizational skills, he secretly established the Ship Pavilion.

The boat pavilion claimed to the outside world that it was just an ordinary commercial organization, in order to explore the price of grain, rice, silk and silk in various places. Guo Mian is in the business of buying low and buying high, so it was not eye-catching at first. It is precisely because of this that the Ship Pavilion was able to slowly grow without interference, and finally reached such a point where it is difficult to contain.

The crown prince must have suffered a lot of losses in the open and secret battle with the king of Jiangxia, so the role of the boat pavilion in it is now played, so he decided to use a plan to let Yangzhou assassin Shi Liuquan collude with the Heavenly Master, wanting to start with Guo Mian and solve the trouble once and for all. Of course, it would be great if I could climb the Jiangxia King again by the way.

They were clearly close to success, but Seo You's presence disrupted everything. The dozens of white bones dug up after the White Snake appeared directly dragged down the reputation of Heavenly Master Dao Yangzhi and Du Jingzhi, and caused the emperor to have the opportunity and excuse to intervene. Meng Xingchun was ordered to come east, not only to deal with the Heavenly Master Dao, but also most likely to reconcile the internal struggle between the crown prince and the king of Jiangxia.

"It is nothing for the wealth of the family to be given to the Lord. Money is outside the body, and if you don't have it, you can make it again, it doesn't matter. But the boat pavilion fell, and my uncle's ten years of hard work in Yangzhou were ruined...... The crown prince is the son of the dragon, and the king of Jiangxia is also the son of the dragon, so the lord is a little too biased this time......"

Listening carefully to Zhan Jun talking about the reason, Xu You's speculation is really good. Meng Xingchun came here, and an important task was to solve the dispute between the crown prince and the king of Jiangxia. He went to see Guo Mian when he was in Wu County, and of course he wouldn't directly say that it was the emperor's will, but everyone understood the meaning. Then through Concubine Song, the news was passed on to the Ten Books, and then the Ten Books reported to the King of Jiangxia. King Jiangxia weighed the pros and cons, what else was there to say, so he could only reluctantly give up the stronghold of Yangzhou and countless money, as well as the boat pavilion that had made great contributions to him many times.

"It's not biased, King Jiangxia didn't make a big mistake, but he was punished so heavily, it is conceivable that the result on the prince's side will only be heavier, not lighter."

Xu You sincerely admired and said: "If you talk about the emperor's mental technique, the master is really impossible. The crown prince handed over the important ministers, passed the way of the heavenly master, and his brothers were in the wall, and the lord punished the king of Jiangxia first, and when he punished the prince, it was enough for him to have nothing to say. ”

There is a deeper layer, Xu You did not say it explicitly, An Zidao took this opportunity to knock the prince and the king of Jiangxia at the same time, indicating that the emperor, who has been in power for more than 40 years, began to be uneasy about what happened after his death, the prince is the prince, and the king of Jiangxia has a heavy army, weakening the two, in order to balance the situation in the court in the future, and also to leave a room for peace and prosperity between the monarch and the minister.

"Since Guo Gong is safe, he is already very lucky, and the others don't have to mind. In a few days, Meng Xingchun will set off a big storm in Yangzhou, let's just wait and see! ”

"Hmm!"

The room suddenly became silent, neither of them made a sound, through the blue curtain, they couldn't see each other's faces, but they seemed to be able to hear each other's heartbeats between the visible and invisible.

First slow, then urgent, and finally converged and returned to the flat!

"You...... Do you want to leave Yangzhou too? ”

"Hmm!"

"Where to go?"

"Jinling!"
