Zhen Qian smiled apologetically, none of these courtesans in the social arena was a human spirit, and he grabbed the man's heart tightly with his gestures, and he had already hooked the man with laughter and scolding.

"Don't be surprised by Yuerong Niang, how about Zhen punish himself?"

Yuerong smiled faintly and said: "Zhen Lang is not wrong, these "Lingbo Qu" were also learned by Yuerong and other servants, naturally they are not as good as Xie Aman's dance, the slave family respects Zhen Lang with a cup!" ”

Wang Bo asked Yuerong to sit down and said, "Yuerong! Zhen Lang will stay in Yangzhou for a few days these days, how about you accompany Zhen Lang? ”

Zhen Qian just wanted to postpone it, but suddenly his thoughts moved, and the corners of his mouth showed a playful arc, "Zhen Mou first came to Yangzhou, and he is not familiar with this place, if it is convenient for Yuerong Niangzi, Zhen Lang invites Yuerong Niangzi to visit Yangzhou for a few days?" ”

"The talented woman is envious of the mandarin duck ......", Wang Bo clapped his hands and agreed.

Yuerong also nodded shyly, got up and said, "Then I'll go back to the room and prepare!" ”

Zhen Qian hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandpa, grandson will go back with Yuerong Niangzi?" ”

Yuerong glanced at Zhen Qian, who was anxious, in surprise, could it be that he was in a hurry to kiss Fang Ze, could this person be in vain, a trace of displeasure and disappointment rose in his heart, but his face did not show the slightest, "How does this bother Zhen Lang?" ”

Zhen Qian had a different smile on his face, and said with a somewhat flattering expression: "No trouble, no trouble!" ”

Wang Bo waved his hand, with a smug smile on his face, "How to miss the beautiful scenery of the good day, go ahead!" ”

Yuerong turned to leave, Zhen Qian followed and exited the room, beckoned to Wang Tianxing at the door, turned a few corridors and came to a secluded small building, Yuerong said coldly: "Zhen Lang wants to go upstairs and sit?" ”

Zhen Qian smiled at Yuerong: "Yuerong goes upstairs, I still have some things to do, I won't accompany Yuerong Niangzi, he will see you in the future, farewell!" ”

Looking at Zhen Qian's back, Yuerong didn't react, she was stunned for a long time and couldn't speak, what's going on, release the pigeons? Of course, Yue Rong didn't know what was going on, and the silver teeth on his face were itching with shame and anger, didn't he know how to pity the jade at all?

Thinking of this, Xiuzu stomped on it, and quickly followed, seeing that Zhen Qian did not go out from the front door, but went around to the back door of Yihong Courtyard, a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, sneakily seemed to be hiding something, just when Yue Rong was about to shout, Zhen Qian suddenly turned around and waved his hand at Yue Rong, put on a black cloak and got into a carriage at the door.

"He's using himself as cover?" Recalling the seemingly harmonious scene between Zhen Qian and Wang Bo just now, Yuerong, who had read countless people, could still feel the imperceptible estrangement between the two, thinking of this, a little anger and shame appeared on her pretty face, and she bit her silver teeth and looked at the carriage that had gone away, and said with a faint smile: "Okay!" See where you can hide! ”

The carriage drove all the way south of the city, avoiding the noisy crowds and coming to a secluded place under the cover of night.

"Da Lang has arrived!"

Zhen Qian stretched his head out of the carriage, looked around, tightened his black robe, and walked into a house.

The house is surprisingly quiet, compared with the noisy street, it seems a little calm and out of place, it is around such a house, a few cold lights flashed in the shadows, as long as the person moves slightly, it will shoot into a hedgehog, Wang Tianxing protected Zhen Qian behind him, and chirped a few frogs in the dark room, a black shadow flashed out of the room, and came to Zhen Qian in a few steps, "Zhen Shi has seen the master, follow me into the house!" ”

"Is it safe here?"

"Please rest assured, no one usually comes here, as long as there are unfamiliar faces, you will find out immediately!"

There was an extremely dim oil lamp lit in the room, and it was so dark that even if you were face to face, you couldn't see people's faces clearly, so she briefly adapted to the dimness in the room, and as Zhen Qian walked into the room, the thick curtain covered the window, and the room lit up immediately.

Zhen Qian's face was a little gloomy and said: "Zhen Shi, I didn't let you go to Hangzhou and Quanzhou to develop with peace of mind, why did you come to Yangzhou?" ”

There was a bronze-skinned man standing in front of Zhen Qian, with a hideous face, giving people the feeling that he was a vicious person, but he lowered his waist in front of Zhen Qian, revealing a smile that was more ugly than crying, "Master, I haven't seen you for half a year, I miss you a little, if I don't come to see you, I won't be sure."

Zhen Qian snorted coldly: "When did you learn to pat on the back!" Tell me about your development in the past six months, and there are just some things I want to ask you face-to-face? ”

Zhen Shi respectfully handed over a cup of tea, retreated to the side and bowed and said: "Master, in the past six months, according to the plan you said, the south has developed well, those pirates entrenched in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are all bullying the soft and afraid of the hard, Hangzhou and Quanzhou sailors Yu Wei is still there, they don't dare to blatantly challenge the government, most of them rob some lone maritime merchants, and they are fighting for themselves, it is only a matter of time before they want to break through, it is not difficult!" ”

"Don't underestimate those pirates, although these pirates don't have much strength, but if they really gather together, I'm afraid it will also give the government a headache, you better be careful!"

"I naturally understand, so I rarely have a head-on conflict with them, according to the master's plan to pull one by one, distant and close attack, they are not monolithic, and it is not easy to eliminate the hatred between them, unless they feel a real threat, otherwise they can only be broken by each of us in the end!"

"Then what did you say about meeting me this time?"

Zhen Shi rubbed his hands, looking a little excited, "Master, there are two main things I want to report to you in person when I come to see you this time. One is about the Shengsi Islands, and the other is about the master's visit to the Japanese ......."

Listening to Zhen Shi finish talking about the two things, Zhen Qian's brows couldn't help frowning, the two things Zhen Shi said were really very tricky, even if Zhen Qian understood history, it was difficult to make up his mind for a while.

"The first thing you said was something you saw with your own eyes, or was it hearsay?"

"Master, the matter about the Shengsi Islands is not a big secret among the maritime merchants, the government's inspection ships are not willing to go to the Shengsi Islands at all, maybe there is some deal between the maritime merchants and the government, but in any case, the Shengsi Islands are now a borderless land, except for some fishermen who go out to sea to fish, it is a transit station established by some maritime merchants on it, and there are several of the strongest maritime merchants to control, and some pirates sometimes secretly collude with these maritime merchants to sell stolen goods, so I think this is a good opportunity for us, But take the opportunity to control the Shengsi Islands and establish our permanent base, but this matter still needs to be decided by the master! ”

"Hmmm! This is indeed an opportunity, but are you sure that you will seize the Shengsi Islands before you alarm the government? ”

Zhen Shi's face showed a look of embarrassment: "I'm afraid not, the strength of those maritime merchants on the Shengsi Islands is not weak, otherwise the pirates would have been eyeing this piece of fat a long time ago!" ”
