"But we haven't lost all these years." Feng's idea was very simple, since he didn't lose, why not kill them all.

"It's not that easy."

Feng didn't care, "Master Hou, judging from the concubine's body, it is most likely that the Marquis of Zhenyuan deliberately treated him negatively in order to stabilize his position and continue to control the military power. With the ability of our dynasty, destroying a barbarian is just a matter of moving a finger. ”

The Marquis of Dingguo blinked vaguely and said patiently: "In terms of national strength, the barbarians are naturally not the opponents of the dynasty, but the war also pays attention to the right time, place and people, over the years, the battle between the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the barbarians has indeed not lost, but it does not mean that he has the ability to swallow the barbarians." In fact, in recent years, the Marquis of Zhenyuan helped the dynasty annex several border towns of the barbarians, and the barbarians were forced by the situation to sign subsidiary treaties with the dynasty. But the barbarians are belligerent by nature, and they are cunning and ruthless, which has been testing our bottom line. The Marquis of Zhenyuan was not completely sure that he would be able to catch them all, after all, the geographical environment and climate there were very unfavorable for us. Speaking of which, it is not easy for the Marquis of Zhenyuan to take the Shen family army to guard in southern Xinjiang for so many years. ”

Feng scoffed at the words of the Marquis of Dingguo.

Speaking of which, the Marquis of Zhenyuan and the Shen family army are also showmanship, they are really so powerful, and the barbarians have long been included in the territory of the dynasty.

However, these are not her concerns, and the only thing she is most worried about now is her own son.

"Master Hou, you said, if Brother Xuan really followed the Third Highness over there, would the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Gu Jinzhen ......?"

When Gu Jin arrived in southern Xinjiang, he not only had to face the foreign invasion of the barbarians, but also had to guard against the internal calculations of the Marquis of Zhenyuan and Gu Jinzhen. The two of them didn't have to do anything, they stood by and watched when they were in danger, Gu Jinxuan died when he died, and in the end, they were all counted on the head of the barbarians, and they had nothing to do with the pair of ancestors and grandchildren.

The Marquis of Dingguo also looked solemn, "I'll take a look at this matter again, don't worry, Your Royal Highness may not be over, and it hasn't reached the time of the moment yet." ”

With the words of Dingguohou, the Feng family reluctantly relieved, what she has to do now is to find a good daughter-in-law for Brother Xuan.

……

Jincheng.

Qiao Lixi looked at the large package of things sent from southern Xinjiang, all of which were game, not common pheasants, hares or anything, but unique game in southern Xinjiang.

"Qiaoqiao, don't you leave me to eat?" Jin Baijin circled around the game twice, and finally chose a few that were pleasing to the eye and felt good, and pointed at the astragalus.

Astragalus looked at Qiao Yixi.

Qiao Yixi deliberately said: "I don't have time to entertain you, you take it back and let the Jin family's chef make it yourself." ”

Jin Baijin suddenly drooped his face, "Qiaoqiao, we haven't seen each other for a month, so you don't want me?" ”

"What do I think you're doing?" Qiao Yixi deliberately squinted her eyes, "I'm more interested in silver." ”

"Then you have to keep me for dinner, I have a big deal to talk to you about." Jin Baijin licked his face and leaned in front of Qiao Yixi.

Qiao Yixi squinted, "Fatty, the more I get acquainted with you, the more I find that your changes are a bit big." I remember when I was studying ethnology, not only did you not talk much, but you didn't even have many friends. ”

"There are still few friends," said Kimberkin disapprehantly, "there are not many friends, not everyone, and not everyone can be my friend." ”

"Hey, I'm climbing you?"

"It's me who climbs you," Kimberkin said very seriously, "It's all said, my friend is fine, and you are 'fine'." ”

"Speaking of which, I just want to have a meal at my place."

Kimberkin gave him a "that's still the need to say" look.

At lunchtime, Kimberkin stayed in the East Courtyard as he wished, and ate delicious game from southern Xinjiang as he wished.

Jin Baijin is the only young master of the Jin family, the future master, although the old man Jin is strict with him, but he is not restrictive, such as at the dinner table, there is no rule of not saying anything.

Jin Baijin is used to being casual in front of Qiao Lixi, so there are naturally more words at the dinner table.

"Qiaoqiao, there's nothing on the Chamber of Commerce this month, right?"

Without waiting for Qiao Yixi to speak, he continued to take care of himself: "It should be no problem, with Zhong Chenglin to help you, the people of the Chamber of Commerce dare not mess around." ”

"You have faith in him, and before, the two of you didn't like each other." Qiao Lixi teased.

Jin Baijin waved his hand, "Qiaoqiao, you can't just look at the surface, Zhong Chenglin and I are buddies, although we have different opinions on some issues, but this does not affect our friendship, do you think our man's friendship is like you women?" ”

"Hehe," Qiao Yixi looked at Kimberkin with an unkind expression, "Then what about the friendship between our women?" ”

Jin Baijin wisely didn't speak, took two bites of meat, his eyes lit up, and said exaggeratedly: "Qiaoqiao, you taste this, it tastes good, it's delicious." ”

Qiao Lixi suspiciously blocked the meat that Kim Birkin picked up with chopsticks.

Jin Baijin smiled, "Qiaoqiao, the people from the Internal Affairs Office are here, what are your plans?" ”

The news of the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs entering Shuzhou, the businessmen in Shuzhou who have a little way to know that this is the first benefit that businessmen have the opportunity to get after the rebuilding of Shu Road.

"You're well-informed," Qiao Lixi teased and said, "You say, what do you mean by the Internal Affairs Office?" ”

After a pause, Jin Baijin said seriously: "I think that the purpose of the Internal Affairs Office going to Shuzhou to find the imperial merchants is fake, and the purpose is to test the economy of Shuzhou, after all, Jincheng is the foundation of the Marquis of Zhenyuan." ”

Qiao Lixi nodded in agreement, "Shu Road is difficult to walk, even if you know that this is a golden bowl, the emperor will not take action immediately, one is afraid of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and the other is the will of the people." Harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, should be paid, the people of Shuzhou are not less than a point, the emperor can't find an excuse to raise taxes, but seeing that Shuzhou is such a rich place, the people who get it are not as greedy as the local officials, why is the emperor not red? But this is the foundation of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and if the emperor's hand is stretched too long, it will make the ministers of the court think wildly and guess the wrong holy will, and it will not only be the Marquis of Zhenyuan who will be chilled at that time. Although Shuzhou is the territory of the imperial dynasty, due to special geographical reasons and objective external factors, the emperor's control over this place is not as good as that of the magistrates. Therefore, he sent people from the Internal Affairs Office over, obviously looking for a suitable imperial businessman, but in fact, it was just to find out the details here, the details of the Marquis of Zhenyuan, and the Shen family army was the most feared by the emperor. ”

Jin Baijin nodded in agreement, "The emperor's trick is still very effective, look at those people in our chamber of commerce." ”

"It's not just them who are in the chaos." Qiao Yixi smiled mockingly.

Kimberkin's eyes rolled, and she didn't know what the hell she was thinking.

Qiao Lixi deliberately asked, "When you come back this time, Mrs. Jin is going to marry you, right?" ”

"Jojo, don't mention this if you're a friend." Kimbergold said with a tiger face.

Qiao Lixi was not afraid of him at all, "It's just that I treat you as a friend, which is a good thing." ”

Kimbermoney bared his teeth, "There are still a few important things I want to discuss with you, but there is no need to look at them now." ”

"Yo, that's angry?" Qiao Yixi asked deliberately exaggeratedly.

Hum!

Hum!

Huh!

Kimberkin's expression was arrogant, and his nostrils were facing the sky.

"Okay, I really care about you," Qiao Lixi explained in a low voice, "I heard that there is movement on the Sun family's side. ”

Jin Birkin snorted coldly, "Qiaoqiao, I'll teach you a lesson today, in the business field, there are no absolute allies, everything is based on interests, only what you catch and enjoy is real, and everything else is empty talk." ”

"Then we will also become enemies because of differences of interest?" Qiao Lixi looked at Jin Baijin extremely seriously.

Jin Baijin rolled his eyes, "Qiaoqiao, I can't guarantee that it is too long, after all, I will start a family in the future, even if I treat you as before, I can't guarantee that the people around me are the same as me." ”

That's right.

Qiao Lixi knew that she had forced it, so she changed the subject, "Golden fat man, you are my friend, if you are calculated, it will be my face that will be lost." ”

"Cut!" Jin Baijin rolled his eyes, "Although the Sun family claims to be friends with our Jin family, in fact, it has always been the Sun family who has been talking to us, and those rumors outside are just released by the Sun family themselves, and our Jin family doesn't want to explain." Sun Xian......"

Kimberking paused.

"You also know that our Jin family's heirs are difficult, so the people of the Sun family often bring Sun Xian to my house. My mother likes children, plus Sun Xian's sweet mouth, will please the elders, come and go, relying on my mother's love for her, in our Jin family has a bit of status, people outside to spread falsehood, Sun Xian sparrow turned into a phoenix. ”

"Okay, let's talk about something happy," Seeing that Jin Baijin's face was not good, Qiao Lixi hurriedly changed the subject, "You said that there are a few important things to discuss with me, what's wrong?" ”

"Didn't I go to the capital? I followed my father to handle the Jin family's business, and I always felt that an invisible force was blocking us. ”

"The opponent of the Jin family?" Qiao Lixi doesn't think there's anything wrong, doing business will inevitably offend someone unintentionally, or be regarded as a competitor.

Jin Baijin looked at Qiao Lixi with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Lixi touched her face, "Is there anything on my face?" ”

"At first, I thought it was the opponent of the Jin family, but as a result, the other party didn't hide his identity at all."

"So, who is he?"

"Gu Jinzhen"

“……”

What about you playing with me?

Qiao Yixi rolled her eyes.

"When Gu Jinzhen was in Jincheng, he still called me a brother and sister, why did he treat me as an enemy as soon as I arrived in the capital?"

Qiao Lixi was also confused.

Seeing that Kim Birkin was staring at him for a moment, Qiao Lixi pointed to his nose and looked at him.

"What do you think?"

"What does this have to do with me?" Qiao Lixi asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, if I knew, I wouldn't have come to ask you, anyway, the situation I encountered in the capital was that Gu Jinzhen was targeting me."

The teasing gaze is simply not too obvious.

"So what?" Qiao Yixi didn't ask, and asked directly about the purpose.

"No, I'm just talking about it."

"Whatever you want, it's not like you."

"Okay, compensation."
