After waiting for less than ten days, the person Li Su was waiting for finally came.

When waiting for someone, everyone didn't understand his purpose, so they talked about it, and there were many speculations behind their backs, and they probably thought that Li Su was waiting for the angel who passed the decree, after all, Li Su had made such a great contribution, and it was inevitable that he would be promoted to the rank of lord, and the young man naturally lacked patience, knowing that he was about to be promoted to the rank of lord, who could still sit still? It is naturally a very normal behavior to sit outside the gate every day and look forward to the will of the reward.

But no one expected that the person Li Su was waiting for was not an angel who delivered the decree, but another group of people.

Ten days later, when the jingling camel bells came from the east side of the desert, a camel team slowly appeared on the horizon, and after getting closer and closer, Wang Zhu saw the appearance of the leaders of the camel team, and his face suddenly became ugly.

"These days, sitting outside the gate, waiting every day, is this such a group of goods?"

Li Su's expression was very happy, and he nodded and smiled: "Yes, after waiting for these days, they finally came." ”

Wang Zhu frowned, squinting at the camel team in the distance, his expression a little disdainful.

This team is considered an acquaintance.

They were caravans, and they were the caravans that Li Su had hospitable.

Two of them, Wang Zhuan, even remembered their names, one was from Jingzhou in Guanzhong named Gong Hu, the other was from Hu in the Western Regions named Guzha, and the other three were all businessmen who had promised to develop Xizhou.

The reason for Wang Zhu's ugly face was that when the battle began, the enemy soldiers were under the city, and these five people ran the fastest.

Seeking good fortune and avoiding evil, pursuing profit and forgetting righteousness, the performance of these five people very classically expresses the meaning of these two words.

"You...... What the hell do you think? This kind of guy who forgets his righteousness and does not hesitate to leave us in danger and escape. Why bother with them? Wang Zhu sighed.

Li Su also sighed: "Although I don't like them either, Xizhou City likes them......"

"What the hell are you waiting for them for?"

Li Su said in a deep voice: "After the war, the city of Xizhou was scorched and ruined, and this city has almost become a ruined city. But they will not allow this city to become a ruined city! ”

Turning his head to look at the puzzled look on Wang Zhu's face, Li Su sighed: "Don't forget, this city was defended by us risking our lives, we survived, but there are still more than 4,000 brothers in Paoze who died, what a price we paid for this city!" How much hope and effort has been placed on this city, both the living and the dead, think of the dead brethren, can you bear to see it become a ruined city? ”

Wang Zhuan's expression gradually changed. The incomprehension and disdain on his face gradually faded, and turned to a piece of solemnity and sadness.

Li Su sighed: "This city can't be abolished, what was destroyed by the war, we have to restore it, what the robes have protected with their lives, we have to make it prosperous, and watch it flourish, so as to be worthy of those who have passed away." If nothing else. Your Majesty's will is also coming soon, the day of its will. I guess when I leave Xizhou, before I leave, there are some things I have to arrange, otherwise, I'm sorry for the dead brother. ”

Wang Zhu finally showed a look of agreement, and pointed to the caravan that came leisurely in the distance. "So, if you want to prosper this city, you have to rely on them?" ”

Li Su nodded: "Yes, so, don't have any resentment towards these businessmen, it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil." Didn't I also run away with you and Zheng Xiaolou at the beginning? Those merchants have no deep friendship with us, no affection for this city, no deep friendship and no affection, why do you ask them to go with us in trouble? ”

"I see, don't blame them, I wonder is, how do you know they're coming back to Weststate?"

Li Su said with a smile: "After these days, the news of the end of the war in Xizhou must have spread, since the Tang Dynasty has won, they will naturally come, because Xizhou City has the interests they need, and I dare to guarantee that this time they come, they will definitely not leave." ”

"Because of profit?"

"No, because if the enemy army comes down again, I will tie them to the tower, so they can't go."

The style of painting changed abruptly, Wang Zhu was dumbfounded, and he stayed for a long time before he ate and said: "Didn't you just say don't hate them?" But you ......"

Li Su sighed deeply and said, "Yes, I don't hate them, so when I tied them up, I also hoped that they wouldn't hate me......"

Wang Zhu was completely stunned, this kind of bastard's logic jumped too fast, and he really couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

******************************************************************

The five businessmen stood side by side in front of Li Su, looking a little embarrassed, a little humble, and even a little awe-inspiring.

Embarrassment is naturally a well-known reason, and before the big war will start, they ran away very unrighteously.

Humility and reverence are because of Li Su as a person.

The news of the battle of Xizhou really reached Shazhou, and the five merchants were so shocked that they almost jumped.

The defenders of 5,000 rabble actually stubbornly blocked the attack of 30,000 enemies for half a month, and finally the enemy's main general was beheaded in front of the battle, and the 30,000 enemy troops were defeated and scattered, and the defense of Xizhou was completely victorious.

This result forced the five businessmen to be humble and in awe of Li Su.

A young man who is less than twenty years old, a group of defenders who have been gathered together temporarily, can actually hold the city, it is really a result against the sky, how can such a powerful young man not be awe-inspiring?

Li Su knelt behind the low table, smiling like a spring breeze, gentle and elegant, ...... Panicked?

The five businessmen became more and more uncomfortable, and there was nowhere to put their hands and feet, and it took a long time for the awkward silence in the tent to be broken.

The one who broke the silence was Li Su.

"You go, I won't stay, you come, I will greet you, I am Li Su's person, you will know yourself in the future, everyone, we are also old acquaintances, so you don't have to be formal, please sit down."

The five of them smiled awkwardly, and each found a cushion in the tent and sat down on his knees.

After a moment of silence again, Gong Hu, a businessman from Jingzhou, was the first to speak.

"Li Xianzi, the war will start that day, we will quietly leave the city, we have done this unjustly......" raised his head and glanced at Li Su carefully, Gong Hu smiled bitterly: "I won't look for a reason to whitewash, let's put it bluntly, we are just businessmen, and we are not bold businessmen, if there is a advantage, we will avoid, and if there is a disaster, we will ...... to leave the city."

Li Su smiled and waved his hand, cut off Gong Hu's words, and continued: "I don't blame you for leaving the city, this is the truth, the identity is different, the things are different, the battlefield is the business of the soldiers and soldiers, it is your businessman's business to go south and north to communicate with each other, everyone performs their duties, the world will be peaceful, the government soldiers throw down their weapons to do business, it is estimated that they will lose their fortune, the same, you businessmen threw away the account books, paper and pen, carried weapons and fought with the enemy, it is estimated that they were chopped into pieces just after the face, so you took the initiative to leave the city when the war will start." I don't blame you, even if you stay, it won't do you any good to defend the city except for losing your lives in vain. (To be continued.) )
