Chapter III. The sword asks Beiyan 10

In this way, Shen Gui was surrounded by eleven heavily armed Taibai guards, and under the leadership of Fang Junping, he walked towards the east of the city.

"Commander Fang, are we on the wrong path? If Shen remembers correctly, it seems that you should go out of the west exit of Hezhong Street in the direction of the palace......"

"That's right."

Fang Junping turned his back to Shen Gui and squeezed out three words dryly. However, as soon as he opened his mouth to answer, his body suddenly trembled, and he was so nervous that he even touched his right hand to the flower spear behind his back... Such a large action was naturally seen by Shen Gui. However, he only smiled and shook his head, and continued to follow him calmly.

It didn't take long for Fang Junping to stop in the backyard of the Green Willow Building in the South Market; He stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, three long and two short; Immediately, a 'ghost-faced samurai' gently pushed open the small door in the backyard of the Green Willow Building......

"Shen Gui brought it."

The ghost-faced warrior nodded after hearing this, beckoned to the silent Shen Gui, and let him into the Green Willow Tower.

Under his leadership, Shen Gui pushed open the door of the largest room on the third floor......

"I thought you didn't dare to come back......"

As the door of the room behind him was tightly closed, Shen Gui saw Yan Qinghong, the Xingping Emperor, who was sitting at the table at this time, wearing a dragon robe and looking awe-inspiring, in the transparent side room.

Shen Gui faced his old friend who had been 'transformed' and did not respond in a hurry; Instead, he paced and looked left and right at the furnishings in the room......

"Shen Gui! I'm talking to you......"

Yan Qinghong, the Xingping Emperor who felt that he was being snubbed, slapped the table hard and shouted at Shen Gui! Immediately, in the inner room next to Yuda, no less than twenty sturdy warriors with swords in their hands and ghost faces immediately sprang out!

Shen Gui looked at these 'sword and axe hands' lying in ambush in the shadows, and didn't even stretch out his hand to draw his sword to defend against the enemy, but instead sat opposite Yan Qinghong in a big way, and looked at him for a long time before he spoke:

“…… This drama, if it is staged in the Qinzheng Palace...... Maybe that's what happened......"

After hearing this, Yan Qinghong immediately slapped the table again, tore off the dragon crown on his head with his backhand, turned around and waved to those 'ghost-faced warriors' holding blades:

"Give money to money! One hundred taels per person! If you bring it, hurry up and give the silver ticket, and if you don't bring it, borrow it quickly, otherwise you will be considered a 'bully'! ”

At the same time, Fang Junping, who was carrying a flower gun, also pushed the door in, and took out a silver ticket from his arms in frustration and slapped it on the table, still muttering the word 'bad luck' in his mouth......

With a 'squeak' sound, Wan Changning, who was in a wheelchair, was also pushed out by the great shaman He Wendao. As soon as he appeared, he shouted at Yan Qinghong, who was taking off his dragon robe:

"I've made a 500-tael counterbet! No jokes! ”

Yan Qinghong wiped the sweat oozing from his forehead, and carefully counted the silver tickets:

"I lost your five hundred taels, and I also made a lot of money! Hahahaha......"

Those ghost-faced warriors who had lost the silver also took off the masks covering their faces, and a few of them were a little short-tempered, dragging Fang Junping's neck and began to ask:

"You must have slipped the bottom on the road!" ...... "Isn't it a bureau that you colluded with Your Majesty to do it together?" ...... "You will pay me for this hundred taels of silver!" ......Didn't it make you talk less on the road?" This kid has a little hair, and he is better than a monkey......

Shen Gui looked at these boring friends helplessly, and said helplessly:

"If you want to bet on me next time, it's best not to take Yan Lao Er. Which play did he play just now, a little too much......"

As soon as the people in the house heard that Shen Gui had uncovered the mystery, they immediately burst into laughter; Those guys who felt sorry for the silver also ran to Yan Qinghong's side, wanting to get back their 'hard-earned money'......

After settling the gambling debts, everyone started talking about 'business'. Wan Changning tapped on the wooden handrail and said to Shen Gui:

"As far as I can guess, according to the original plan of the teacher, he should have wanted to recommend you to the position of prime minister; But when you're seriously wounded, you're nowhere to be found, and that's what pushed me into this position, and I got through that mess first; Now that you're back, it looks like you're recovering well, so don't be embarrassed about me anymore......"

As soon as Shen Gui was about to open his mouth to shirk, Emperor Yan Qinghong of Xingping first waved his hand towards Wan Changning and stopped his words:

"The Prime Minister mentioned this matter to me before, and his original meaning was that he was interested in the position of Prime Minister that you took over, so you don't need to think about it. Of course, if Shen Gui himself is willing, we can also imitate the Northern Yan Dynasty and get a position that affects the prime minister! Then I, the emperor, will be much more comfortable......"

Shen Gui immediately shook his head:

"Don't even think about it! You still count on this cripple to continue to help you with! This kind of miscellaneous work of demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall and serving the people of the entire Youbei to eat, drink and Lazar, I Shen Gui is not interested in it at all! ”

At this time, Yan Chongwu, the commander of the Flying Bear Army, had just received three large wine jars from the door; When he heard Shen Gui's words, he grinned widely:

"That's it! What's so good about being a civil servant? Just Shen Gui's belly full of ghost eyes, if you don't fight, you will be blind to the material! Anyway, in two days, the Li family's private army should almost arrive in Beijing; You, the hairy-footed son-in-law of the Li family, happen to command the Li family's team, which can be regarded as justifiable! In a few years, we will have saved up enough food, grass and ordnance, and our brothers will go south together! You will be the generalissimo of soldiers and horses, and I will be the vanguard general for you! Let's destroy the Northern Yan first, and then level the Southern ......"

Shen Guiyi's head was big when he heard this, and he hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand to stop Yan Chongwu's outlook and reverie for the future:

"I said, 'Black Blind' (Bear), give me a break! With this little bit of people in our Youbei, do you dare to have that dream of leveling the eight wildernesses and six he? You take yourself too seriously, right? ”

As soon as Shen Gui's words came out, it was still very lively, and the room where the cups were changed was quiet in an instant. Everyone's eyes repeatedly dangled between Shen Gui and Yan Qinghong......

Yan Qinghong also felt a little strange, and after he coughed lightly twice, he asked with a little doubt:

"We have been discussing these things for some time; Even Shi An and Fu Yi, they all felt that there was nothing wrong with it... Otherwise, tell everyone, why can't this method work? And between us and the Beiyan people, won't there be a break sooner or later? Now that there is no such No. 1 person as Yue Haishan, with the ability of those waste soldiers in Beiyan, the black blind man will rush a few people casually, won't it all collapse? ”

Shen Gui looked at the Northern Giants in the room whose faces were full of 'It Should Be That's the Way', and his heart couldn't help but feel cold. He first raised his chin towards Fang Junping, the commander of the Taibai Guard, and then took a few brothers to push open the door and vigilantly guard the door......

"Come on, come on, since we've all talked about it today, don't be busy drinking this wine first, and the girl won't be in a hurry to see it...... I want to ask you guys first, whose ass came up with this shitty idea? ”

Everyone looked at Shen Gui with a cold face, and they were all confused; And Wan Changning, who is the current prime minister of Youbei, had no choice but to bite the bullet and responded:

"Ahem...... Shen Gui, in the past three months, the development of our Youbei Third Road has been really good. Don't look at us, we have been exempted from commercial tariffs for one year, but at the same time, we can quickly clear the backlog of goods in previous years! Although this year's grain is a little tighter, relying on the old grain of previous years and some southern grain exchanged from the Nankang people, this year's winter is not so sad; After the commercial tax returns to the same state next year and the new grain in Dongyoulu is also down, we will return to the ...... of Youbei."

Wan Changning's account was just halfway reported, and Shen Gui immediately waved his hand and rudely interrupted him:

"I believe in your calculations, and I also believe that you can raise enough food and salary for the 200,000 troops going south within three years. So I'm not asking about silver, but why do you think that our Youbei Three Roads can compete with Beiyan or Nankang? ”

Then the room fell into a very lively discussion, and everyone told their reasons; Even some people's opinions, even after Shen Gui listened to it, nodded again and again in agreement......

It wasn't until the time of the half-pillar incense had passed that Yan Qinghong, who had come back to his senses first, waved his hand to stop the discussion in the room:

"Isn't it in vain that we have broken the heavens about this? Since we all think it's okay, you don't think it's okay! Then I'll change you to convince us now, why don't we Youbei people have the qualifications to compete in the Central Plains! ”

Shen Gui looked at Yan Qinghong playfully, stretched out a finger, pointed at the tip of his nose and scolded:

"I think you're stupid by this dragon robe, right? It's only been a few days since you saved your little life? Just fucking thinking about wanting to chase the Central Plains? I didn't see it, you kid is quite self-motivated! Do you think that fighting a war is a fight for money? As for the previous friction between us and Beiyan, if I hadn't helped the black blind man command, would I have been able to break the 200,000 Ping Northern Army? Do you really think that those victories were won back by our strength? Phew! ”

Yan Chongwu, as a 'famous general of the Mesozoic Era', was a little embarrassed by Shen Gui's 'one mouth'......

"I didn't say I won the battle myself! That's why you will be in charge, am I a pioneer? Since you can outmaneuver them once......"

"Yan Chongwu, let me tell you, since you are the chief general in the army, you must understand a truth: the so-called 'outwitting' is always the way to survive that is on the weak side and will passively choose when you are helpless; To be able to win, naturally there is a little respite; But as long as you lose one game, there will never be a day to turn over! ”

After finishing speaking, Shen Gui stretched out his hand and pointed at Yan Qinghong:

"You've only been down for a few days? Can you be less 'demon'? I ask you! Did Liu Zhi find it? Was the armistice signed? Has the pact with the Mobei Grassland been straightened out? Do you know all about the ownership and reconstruction of the Eastern Customs? and the prince's remnants in the court, have you found out? Have some of the laws of the imperial court been revised? I haven't figured out all this in my own family, and I still have the time to think about it in a few years! I've seen a lot of them; But you've only just eaten two bites of 'Guanyin soil', and you're wondering how to 'lose weight and consume food'?! ”

After Shen Gui finished scolding, he waved his hand at Fang Junping, who was probing his brain at the door:

"Fuck a bunch of idiots, I'm mad! Xiao Fang, call me in! I still have to educate the girls! ”
