Chapter 53: Happy Cooperation, She Has Long Hated Me to the Bone
"Heh," Han Yan sneered, "Do I have any other options than to cooperate with you, the famous Third Prince of Eastern Qin?" ”
Regarding Han Yan's attitude, Gu Li didn't mind, "How much food do you have in your hands now?" ”
"I don't know how much the third prince wants?" Cold smoke opened his mouth indifferently.
"I want enough food for an army of 300,000 for at least half a year."
"What? How much do you want? Hanyan wondered if he had misheard.
"You heard me right, I said I want at least half a year's food for an army of 300,000." Gu Li repeated in a calm tone.
"Gu Li, why don't you grab it? I'm just a merchant, not a granary, where can I prepare so much grain for you?" Hanyan is not angry. The 300,000 army has half a year's grain, which is a lot of money, how could he never have thought that Gu Li would let him provide food to raise the army for him?
"Hanyan, I think this request shouldn't be a big deal for you, the number one businessman in the world, right?"
"Gu Li, although I am known as the number one businessman in the world, very few of the businesses I do are about food. I can't do what you asked. ”
"Hanyan, as far as I know, your Han family seems to have a granary, right?" Gu Li hooked his lips and smiled lightly, and his tone was soft.
"Gu Li, are you investigating me?" Hanyan said angrily.
Gu Li smiled lightly and was silent, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
Han Yan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, "Gu Li, that granary is not something I can mobilize. Although I am exercising the right to be the head of the family, I am not the head of the family after all, and the granary can only be opened after the joint decision of our poor parents, and I can't be the master alone. ”
"If you don't do it, it's not my concern, as for how you persuade the elders of your Han family, it's not within my consideration, in short, no matter what method you use, I will see this batch of grain next month."
"Gu Li, you are making it difficult for a strong man, I can't do this request you made!" Gu Li's attitude and tone made Han Yan very angry, and his tone of voice was much tougher.
"Hanyan, since I can find out that your family has a secret granary, then I naturally know the location of your granary, you should know that I have always only focused on results, I don't care what the process is, and my patience is limited, don't force me to do something to your granary, then it's not just a simple matter of asking for this bit of grain."
Han Yan clenched his fists, constantly suppressing his anger, and his good upbringing since childhood had never made him so out of shape.
Gu Li took two steps forward and whispered in Hanyan's ear: "Hanyan, I think, you don't want to get up early one morning to hear the news that your granary has been looted by robbers and there are no particles left, right?"
"Gu Li!" Hanyan gritted his teeth and shouted out Gu Li's name, his voice full of anger and warning. Although his Han family is not an imperial noble, it is also one of the four major families, and what he has seen since he was a child is the compliment and careful flattery of others to their family. After he accepted the family business, he doubled the family business with his excellent business mind and keen "sense of smell", and the Han family became the first of the four major families. But Gu Li's repeated threats to him today made his decades of pride look extremely ridiculous.
Gu Li was as indifferent as ever, and even the expression on his face did not change in the slightest.
Han Yan believed that Gu Li was completely the kind of person who could do what he said, and in the face of such a terrible person, he couldn't find a solution other than feeling deep powerlessness.
"Okay, I promise you, this batch of grain will be secretly sent to Dongqin next month, and as for the subsequent delivery, I will not be responsible."
"Okay, you just need to bring the food, and I'll take care of the rest. Sure enough, dealing with smart people is a pleasure. Gu Li deliberately accentuated the four words "happy mood", and when Han Yan heard these four words, he almost didn't catch his breath.
Han Yan had heard it before, the three princes of the Eastern Qin Dynasty have always been very eloquent, in addition to being able to say that the dead are alive, and the living are dead, they also have a special poisonous tongue, I heard that there was a minister in the court who was dissatisfied with him, and he was forced to vomit blood and coma in the hall by what he said, and he died of anger in less than two days. From then on, no one in the entire Eastern Qin Dynasty dared to say half a "no" to Gu Li on the bright side. Gu Li's eloquence, he really saw it today.
"Happy working together!" Gu Li smiled and stretched out his hand to Han Yan.
"Happy working together!" The four words Hanyan almost gritted his teeth and said it, where is there any cooperation, this is obviously Gu Li's unilateral oppression, not to mention the word "happy".
Now that the matter has been done, Gu Li no longer procrastinates, turns around, and plans to leave. Just as he was about to push the door, Han Yan's voice sounded again: "Gu Li, I want to ask you one more question at the end."
Gu Li's hand pushing the door was lowered, his footsteps stopped, and he stood there quietly.
Han Yan saw that Gu Li didn't mean to turn around, so he asked directly: "Gu Li, in the past in Xichu, did you plan and arrange the unexpected encounter between me and Qianxia?"
Silence, eerie silence.
Time passed minute by minute, Gu Li showed no sign of speaking, Han Yan was a little out of breath, and asked again: "Was the person who chased me that day sent by you?"
"How did you guess?" Gu Li asked rhetorically.
Seeing that Gu Li did not deny it, Han Yan was even more sure that what he experienced that day was arranged by Gu Li.
"I haven't been able to find out who planned the hunt that day. The Assassin was strange that day, even though he had made a move on me, I could feel that he didn't want my life, he just seemed to want to force me somewhere, I said, right? ”
Gu Li didn't answer.
Han Yan didn't care, and continued to say to himself: "After encountering Qianxia, after the man in black fought with his guards, he pretended to be invincible and quickly retreated. Although I don't know much about martial arts, I can instinctively see that the guards of the light summer are not the opponents of this man in black, but why did the man in black suddenly give up the pursuit of me? I couldn't find anything else than a well-planned drama. ”
"Then why don't you think it's shallow?" Gu Li suddenly interjected.
"Of course I doubted that even when I made friends with her and agreed to work with her, I tried to test her. But after I got along with her for a while, I found that she was not the kind of person who was scheming, and she didn't even know that I was the number one businessman in the world, so how could it be that she deliberately designed it? ”
"Why don't you think she's pretending to lie to you? After all, there is no simple person in the royal family. ”
"I've been in business for so many years, and I still have this kind of eyesight, and by getting along with her, I can be sure that she is a simple-minded person who doesn't like intrigues, so that thing must not have been done by her. Later, I sent someone to investigate for a long time, but I couldn't find any clues about the other party, so I thought that maybe it was an accident, the man in black was because he saw through the identity of Qianxia, so he had some scruples and left, all this is God's arrangement, it is God who wants me to meet Qianxia. If you hadn't come to me today, I might still be in the dark from you. ”
"Gu Li, I think, Qian Xia must not know about this matter, right? If I tell her about this, do you think she'll hate you? Han Yan didn't know that what happened in Xichu later was related to Gu Li, so he planned to coerce Gu Li once to let Gu Li also experience the feeling of being in danger.
Gu Li didn't answer, nor did he turn around, but after a chuckle, he pushed the door and left, and an ethereal voice came from the air: "She, she has long hated me."
What really happened between Gu Li and Qianxia? Why did Gu Li say that? Why does Asa Natsu hate him? It seems that this can only be figured out after meeting Asanatsu. But these are not important to him at this moment, these thoughts are just fleeting.
Gu Li is unfathomable from this person, it's terrifying, it's just not human! This was the only thought in Hanyan's mind at this time.
He would never have thought that Gu Li spent about a year laying out such a big game and playing such a big chess game, just to lure him into the game.
Gu Li, this person, has touched people's hearts so thoroughly, and the thoughts of him, Qianxia, Gu Chenjing, and even other people he doesn't know are all included in it, so that the current situation will be formed.
Han Yan believed that even if there was no Mu Qianxia at that time, and he didn't need to become friends with Mu Qianxia due to an accident, Gu Li would also have a way to make him have to choose to cooperate with Gu Li.
Han Yan was suddenly a little lucky at this moment, fortunately Gu Li chose him as an ally, he didn't dare to imagine, if Gu Li had put him on the opposite side from the beginning, would he still be alive to stand here now, and would the Han family still exist?
Thinking of this, I only felt a burst of coldness hit me, and fine cold sweat appeared on my forehead.
…………
After Gu Li left, he didn't go back to the house immediately, but walked around the street.
"Lord Wang, why haven't we returned to the house yet?" Shuo Feng asked puzzled.
"It's been a long time since I've had such a leisurely mood like this, and there's nothing to do when I go back, just walk around here, don't you think it's good to see the people living and working in peace and contentment?"
"That's what the prince said. It's just that there is one more thing that my subordinates want to ask you. ”
"Say it." Gu Li didn't look back, and replied casually while looking at the small merchants and vendors around him.
"Lord Wang, you weren't afraid that your threat would backfire at that time, if the Hanyan Prince's anger cooperated with the eldest prince, then everything we did before would not be in vain?"
"Han Yan has been in business for many years, known as a rare genius in hundreds of years, and his ability to see people is far stronger than we think. When Gu Chenjing went to Xichu before, he had privately looked for Hanyan, but they didn't negotiate it at that time, plus this assassination, unless Hanyan was stupid, he would go to Gu Chenjing. Gu Chenjing is suspicious by nature, and he will definitely use his henchmen as the head of the Han family, if he goes, not only will he not end well, but I am afraid that even the Han family will become a gun for Gu Chenjing from now on. ”
"The prince is far-sighted, and his subordinates are very impressed."
