"Let's go......"

After listening to the man's words, Liu Ce glanced at Zhang Lie's upright posture with a spear, and turned around and walked towards the side room of Mu Mansion.

"I don't want Captain Liu to come, it really makes the cold house shine, I don't know what you are looking for the old man? If there is nothing important, please go back, the old man still has a lot of official business to deal with. ”

As soon as he entered the side room, Mu Tiancheng, who had been waiting for a long time, gave Liu Ce a big blow in an unattainable tone.

Liu Ce still looked light-hearted, his eyes glanced at a trace of disdain, and then he arched his hand slightly and said: "My lord, I won't say much nonsense, I just want to inform you when I come down, you had better not interfere in the position of the former military governor, otherwise I am afraid that the Mu family will be destroyed." ”

"Presumptuous!" Mu Tiancheng was suddenly furious, "Liu Ce, you dare to threaten the old man?" If you come to see the old man to say this, then please come back, come on, send off! ”

"My lord has seen Li Suwen and Li Angel, right?" Seeing that Mu Tiancheng brushed his sleeves and turned around to leave, Liu Ce said nonchalantly, "When I came here, I saw Li Suwen coming out of your mansion with a group of guards, presumably he must have come to discuss with you about the matter of the former military governor, right?" ”

Mu Tiancheng was shocked when he heard this, and immediately stopped, turning his head and looking at Liu Ce suspiciously.

"Retreat first......" Mu Tiancheng waved his hand and motioned for the two subordinates waiting outside the door to go out first.

Liu Ce casually found a place to sit down, and then said to Mu Tiancheng: "My lord, let me guess, did Li Suwen promise to hand over the post of former military governor to your Mu family when you met?" And he's going to be your dependent? Supporting your Mu family? ”

Mu Tiancheng sat down slowly, his eyes staring at Liu Ce, but seeing that Liu Ce's face was not shocked, he really couldn't see what his thoughts and mood were now.

After a long time, Mu Tiancheng said, "How did you know? ”

Liu Ce's eyes were slightly jawed: "How do you know this, don't worry about it, please rest assured, there is no malice here, I just want to advise Lord Mu, if you get the position of former military governor, your Mu family is likely to have no peace, and even, there will be a bloody disaster......"

Mu Tiancheng was shocked, and then said: "Liu Ce, don't be alarmist here, the old man knows that you are powerful in using soldiers, but if you dare to do something against the Shi clan, it will be like a rebellion, have you thought about the consequences?" ”

Liu Ce chuckled: "Let's not talk about whether it will pose a threat to your Mu family, have you ever thought about how you will deal with the pressure from the Jiang family and all the world lords after you obtain the position of military governor?" Also, dare to ask if the Mu family has a heroic commander on the Zhenshuo side? ”

Mu Tiancheng said: "However, Master Ma has promised to fully support the old man, and he will not dare to do anything wrong to my Mu family." ”

"Hehe......" Liu Ce put his arms around his chest, couldn't help but chuckle a few times and shook his head.

Mu Tiancheng frowned: "Captain Liu, what do you mean by this?" ”

Liu Ce said: "I'm laughing at you, you're really old and confused, and you don't see clearly what kind of dilemma you're about to face right now." ”

Mu Tiancheng's pupils shrank: "Liu Ce, you might as well explain everything clearly." ”

Liu Ce opened his eyes and said, "Dare to ask my lord, how far is the distance between the Far East and the West Yongzhou?" What are the Li family's roots in the Far East? As far as I know, the Li family's power in the Far East may not be as good as that of an ordinary scholar. ”

Mu Tiancheng fell into silence, and when he thought about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

Liu Ce continued: "My lord, let me deduce the future development process with you.

On the fifth day of the first month, you were given the post of military governor, and then the first person you were guilty of was the governor, after all, your move was tantamount to scraping the most important military power in his hands, and he regarded you as a thorn in his side, and had to guard against you.

At that time, the existing harmonious relationship between your Mu family and the Jiang family will disappear, and the industries operated by your Mu family in various places in Yuanzhou will be suppressed by all parties of the Jiang family, making it difficult for adults to cope.

Secondly, do you think that if you get the post of military governor, you can get the military power of the border army? Don't dream, the border army is now nominally loyal to the Great Zhou court, but everyone knows that most of them have become the private soldiers of the various gate lords, dare to ask your lordship, how do you ask for troops in the hands of the Far East?

If you go to ask for soldiers, it is equivalent to offending all the lords of all the clans, not to take a dispensable position, and you will have to bear the threat and suppression from the Jiang family every day, how should you choose, my lord?

Besides, it is imperative to have a military governor in the next place, if Lord Mu must make a hindrance from it, I don't mind making some amazing moves, anyway, it is now directly under the Governor, and then it can also make some small things justifiably by its name, I believe that Lord Jiang is also happy to see it.

Come to think of it, who else can you count on then? Li Suwen? Royal house? After the fifth day of the first month, Li Suwen is about to leave Yuanzhou, how can he support you? Haven't you seen it yet?

Li Suwen just laid a trap for you, let the Mu family step by step into the trap he laid, and then slowly torture you to death, what's more, this is a hot job to make the entire Far Eastern clan compete with each other and internal friction, until the blood is like a river!

Do you really think that Li Suwen would throw such a big pie on the head of an adult? ”

A drop of cold sweat slipped down Mu Tiancheng's cheek, and Liu Ce's words made him extremely frightened. Thinking about it, he realized that it was very likely that all of this would happen to him.

"However, I have already promised the master of the horse, if I regret it, I am afraid that it will be ......" Although I have seen part of the situation clearly, after all, I and Li Suwen have spoken first, and once I don't obey, I am very afraid of the retaliation of his Li family and the royal family.

Liu Ce snorted lightly and said, "My lord, what is the comparison between a mere verbal promise and the prosperity of the family? What's more, as I have already said below, Li Suwen just took the opportunity to cause discord among the Far Eastern clans, since he broke his trust first, why should you care about the agreement with him?

Of course, if you are still worried about retaliation, there is a suggestion that you might as well find another reliable partner to work with. ”

"Who?" Mu Tiancheng asked, "Although my Mu family is also well-known in the Far East, they are all business dealings, and they are rarely involved in military affairs, who can I contact?" ”

Liu Ce straightened up, waved the hem of Qianhufu, and then said, "I don't know if my lord is willing to cooperate with you?" ”

Mu Tiancheng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said in his heart that Liu Ce analyzed the situation thoroughly, and every word could hit the nail on the head, and the tiger and wolf division in his hand could be described as the elite of the elite, and he was a good candidate.

"Tell me, what do you want the old man to help you? And what are the benefits of cooperating with you for my Mu family? Mu Tiancheng quickly made up his mind and began to negotiate interests.

Liu Ce said: "On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, when Li Suwen gave the decree, as long as the adults don't say a word, it will be the greatest help to Zaixia, as for the benefits of the Mu family, I will never say anything inconsequential in the next day, the most basic point is that the safety of the Mu family is guaranteed, and in the future, the Mu family can participate in the operation." ”

Mu Tiancheng was taken aback: "Outside the plug? You actually hit the idea out of the plug? Did you know ......?"

Liu Ce ignored his surprised expression: "My lord, I, Liu Ce, never talk empty words, don't forget last year's Hu Nu head, I gave a lot to adults, you should know my strength, not to mention that I am not a peaceful person, from the first day I came to the Far East, Saiwai is the target I must plan." ”

Mu Tiancheng nodded, although the conditions and benefits given by Liu Ce could not make him very satisfied, it was still very good to be able to cooperate with him online, and with Liu Ce as a guarantee, he would at least have peace of mind in the Far East.

Thinking of this, Mu Tiancheng said again: "However, if the position of military governor is given to you, won't you be feared by the entire Far Eastern clan?" ”

Liu Ce said: "Isn't that great? At least you Far Eastern clans can be connected and will not be used by the royal family to cause disagreement, do you say? ”

Mu Tiancheng was shocked: "I can't imagine that you are so courageous?" What's in it for you? ”

Liu Ce smiled and said: "Your Excellency, don't be surprised, the Far Eastern warriors have long been prejudiced against the arrogance and rudeness of the Xiashu clan, even if they don't take the position of military governor, do you think their opinion of me will improve?" ”

Mu Tiancheng sighed: "I didn't expect that you are so knowledgeable at a young age, which really impresses the old man, if I am Jiang Xun, ......"

Liu Ce said: "My lord, don't talk about it, there is something I want you to help me with when I come down......

"You say...... "Now that he has decided to cooperate with Liu Ce, Mu Tiancheng's natural attitude is different from before, and his tone is no longer domineering.

I saw Liu Ce take out a mirror from his arms and say to Mu Tiancheng: "I have heard for a long time that Lord Jiu's subordinates are good at managing rare treasures, I don't know that this thing can enter your eyes?" ”

Mu Tiancheng got up and came to Liu Ce's side to take the mirror, and when he looked at it, he saw his appearance, and even his own texture was clearly imprinted in his eyes.

"This, this is the glass mirror?" Mu Tiancheng said excitedly, "I saw it once in Heyang Tower in February, and I wanted to spend 200,000 taels of silver to buy a piece, but Miss Jiang didn't sell it, and I didn't want to see such a rare treasure again, where did you get this glass treasure mirror?" ”

Liu Ce said: "Since adults like it, this mirror will be given to adults as a souvenir, but I want to ask how much is such a mask worth?" ”

Mu Tiancheng said firmly: "This palm-sized piece of three thousand taels is the least, and it will be at least quadrupled when it is shipped overseas and sold to Xiyi, if it is a one-person high glass mirror in Heyang Tower, I guarantee that it will be shipped overseas for less than ten thousand taels of gold, and I Mu Tiancheng will write three big characters upside down!" ”

Liu Ce was shocked, the cost of three or five taels of silver at most was only a dozen taels of silver, and it could be sold at a sky-high price of at least 300,000 taels of silver? It's no wonder that luxury goods make money, and it seems that this is the case in every plane and plane.

"My lord, I want to ask you to sponsor 10 million taels of silver, and I promise that the one-person-high glass mirror will send ten yuan to the adult in January, and this phase mirror will be 100 yuan." Liu Ce said calmly.

Mu Tiancheng did not immediately refuse or agree when he heard this, but kept pacing back and forth to think about the benefits.

"These profits alone will reach at least two or three million taels a month, and the cost will be recovered in four or five months at most, as for where this treasure comes from, I don't think Liu Ce will elaborate, it's just that ten million taels can get this treasure channel, and more importantly, it is worth it to win over Liu Ce to cooperate with him!"

The Mu family is not short of money, and generations of overseas business reselling have long accumulated huge wealth, and 10 million taels can really be said to be a drop in the bucket.

"Captain Liu, please follow me to the account room and make a contract by the way......"

"Yes, but I have a small request from you."

"Captain Liu, but it doesn't hurt to say it."

"The Zhang Lie outside the door, can you cut your love and let me take it away? I will pay his debts. ”

"What should I do, that Lie Chengri danced with a knife and a gun to make the whole house so irritable, since Captain Liu wants someone, then take it away, those debts are insignificant, and they are exempt from ......"

"Then thank you, sir, I'll take you away when I leave later."

"Captain Liu, please come with me......"
