The reason why Su Ren let Guo Xie go was not because he really didn't want to kill him, but because he saw the thorny expression. Thorn and Guo Jie are a kind of people, who were previously a dog of other people, and when the dog lost its effect, it was ruthlessly abandoned by the owner. Guo Xie was thrown out of Chang'an, and the thorns were thrown in the far north. What the two have in common is that they both survived tenaciously.

Thorns are different from Guo Jie. Guo Xie is an idiot, and he hasn't seen clearly who made him what he is now. Guo Xie always believed that it was Su Ren who harmed him, harmed his backer, and forced him into exile. And Thorn saw the reality clearly and chose another life, a life without constraints.

Su Ren really let Guo Xie go. Guo Xie is now a lost dog and a chicken in the soup, there is no need to fall into the well again. For this kind of person, no one will feel sorry for him even if he throws another stone. It's better to let it go, and take it as a good deed.

Guo Xie is gone, and the thorns are coming. After such a ruckus, no one had any sleepiness. The guards felt that they had failed in their responsibilities and almost had Su Ren assassinated. The reason why Su Ren didn't feel sleepy was that he couldn't sleep because he was afraid, this time it was really dangerous, if it wasn't for the brute bull who threw himself out at a critical time, he was really stabbed by the poisonous knife, what the consequences were Su Ren understood very well.

Since everyone is not sleepy, let's have a long conversation on the whole day, anyway, it will be dawn. Lao Li was also in the crowd just now, witnessing everything that happened, and while glad that his husband did not encounter an accident, he hated the person who assassinated him. But since Mr. has released the person, it is not good for him to do it again, which will degrade Mr. 's reputation.

Ying Guangji smiled and patted Lao Li on the shoulder: "Lao Li, why don't you go get some wine and food, today is a good day!" After speaking, he squeezed Lao Li's eyes.

Lao Li is such a smart person, he understands what he means with a glance from Win Guangji. hurriedly agreed, turned around and went out to arrange wine and food. When he went out, he deliberately glanced at the place where Ying Guangji's guards were sitting, and found that there was really one person missing.

Wine is good wine, food is good food, and the most important thing is that people who drink are good people. Although these three people are friends, they have also been born and died together. But they all know that if they need to fight each other one day, no one will give anyone face, maybe even more ruthless than others.

Drinking depends on the mood and atmosphere, and if you are in a good mood and have a good atmosphere, you can drink well. Unconsciously, the three jars and two pots have bottomed out, and Thorn is still yelling for Lao Li to get wine. Lao Li agreed, brought a jar of water and put it on the table for three people, and drank it from the sea, and after one sip was dry, they stretched out their thumbs one after another, indicating that the wine tasted good.

When the day dawned, the man was drunk. Having learned the lesson of the last time, Hawking sent more people this time and stood guard in shifts for twelve hours, although Su Ren didn't say anything, but Hawking felt sorry for his eldest brother. Fortunately, there was no problem, if there were really three long and two short, without others, Huo Laosi could beat him to death, and then commit suicide.

Ah Si smiled and carried a bag into the yard, and when he passed by Hawking, he showed his big yellow teeth and smiled very sweetly.

"What are you doing so early?"

Ah Si just laughed and didn't say a word.

Shi Bao pulled the corner of Lahoking's clothes and smiled at Ah Si: "It's hard work, let Uncle Li get you some food, eat and sleep, I guess we won't be able to leave today!" ”

Ah Si still has that kind of harmless smile from humans and animals. Shi Bao gestured for a while, Ah Si smiled brighter, bent down and entered the courtyard.

Hawking frowned: "What did that guy do early in the morning?" There is also a burden, and the one who won't win will be bad again, right? If you win in Lingnan, you have made trouble for your eldest brother, no, I have to go and see what is in that kid's baggage. ”

Shi Bao grabbed Hawking: "What's so nice about a dead man's head?" ”

"What? Dead heads? Who did this guy kill? ”

Shi Bao smiled: "I didn't see this kid last night, and when I came back early in the morning, who did you say to kill!" ”

Hawking thought for a moment and widened his eyes: "You mean ......"

"Okay, okay, do your own thing, don't worry about it, as long as Mr. is fine, no matter how much trouble the surname wins, he will be cleaned up by Mr. in the end!"

That day, the small courtyard was extremely quiet, and Ah Si only met Hawking and Shi Bao. Su Ren slept until sunset before he was woken up by hunger, drinking too much wine, and waking up with an uncomfortable headache. This was the first time in all these years that Su Ren had been so indulgent. One is to meet friends and wash the dust for the thorns; Second, it can be regarded as a shock to himself, and the incident last night really scared Su Ren.

It's night again, and I still can't leave, so I have to stay another night. The moon is 15 and 16 round, and today is the best time to enjoy the moon. Su Ren didn't sit alone in the courtyard, Ying Guangji, Thorn and Han Qing were all there, and there were more than a dozen guards standing guard around them. Huang 13 and Manniu are even more extraordinarily energetic.

No alcohol, just some tea and pastries.

"You killed Guo Jie?" Su Ren suddenly asked.

Ying Guangji nodded: "Kill!" Since he is an outcast, he will be clean if he kills it, so that this guy will not have any ideas to make trouble again in the future. ”

"Why bother?"

"It's all for you."

"Hehehe, you have such a good heart?"

Win Guangji smiled: "Of course, it's also for me, you are going to Yanmen to earn money for me, if something happens to you, my money will be gone, for my money, this little thing can still be done." ”

Su Ren nodded: "This is like winning the child!" You're not going to mess with it again this time, are you? Last time I was in Lingnan ......"

Without waiting for Su Ren to finish speaking, Ying Guangji interrupted: "The Huns and my Great Qin are feuding, I can't wait for them all to die!" ”

"Oh? Didn't you arrange people among the Huns? ”

Ying Guangji laughed twice: "You can't say this, don't ask, if you want to help me, you must help." ”

Thorn was not in the mood to listen to these two people, so he took a sip of the teacup, and felt that it was still comfortable to drink, so he went to Lao Li to ask for wine. Enjoying the moon in spring is pure nonsense, and no one understands why Su Ren has such thoughts. The wind in the yard is not small, and it is still very cold on the body. By the time Thorn returned, Ying Guangji and Han Qing had already froze away.

Thorn put down the flask and looked left and right: "What are you looking for me for?" You know my appearances are expensive! ”

"Say, I'll make a price."

"There are ten wives in the family, and thirty-two children, the eldest fifteen, the youngest is still in infancy, it is not a small number to feed so many people, and I don't have 10,000 yuan a month, I don't do this!"

"Ten thousand dollars?!" Su Ren looked at the thorns and smiled: "You are much more ruthless than Win Gongzi!" ”

Thorn laughed: "Last time I went to Lingnan with you, I only brought a dozen truckloads of grain when I went back, Xiaoliu said that it was a loss, and I thought about it and seemed to be really a loss." ”

"Who is Little Liu? Your son? ”

A flush suddenly appeared on Thorn's face, and the whole person brightened: "It's the one in my family, ranked sixth, so it's called Little Six." ”

"Oh, this method is good, I can't tell who's who with numbers instead of provinces!"

"She has a name, it's Cuihua!"

"Poof......!" Su Ren squirted out a sip of tea: "Cuihua? Who gave this name! ”

Thorn glared at Su Ren: "Just laugh!" The names are all given by the parents, and the cuihua is very good. ”

After talking about Cuihua, Su Ren and Thorn got down to business. If you want to do business, you have to ensure the smooth flow of business. It is thousands of miles away from Chang'an to Yanmen, although it is all in the territory of Dahan, but unfortunately it is still not peaceful. There are hundreds of bandits and bandits in Taihang Mountain, ranging from a dozen to one or two hundred. These people are a threat. Of course, Su Ren can be suppressed by sending troops to the imperial court, but the effect is definitely not good.

The matter of bandits has to be solved through bandits, and according to Su Ren's plan, it is better to send troops to suppress it than to send people to infiltrate it. If you can organize those bandits, it will do you a hundred benefits. Not only can they ensure the smooth flow of their own trade routes, but they can also monopolize the entire trade route. After thinking about it, the people around him were not suitable for this work, and finally set his eyes on the thorns.

"That's one way, but you also know that these people are bandits, and if you're the only one left on the entire trade route, what will they do in the future?" The thorns are still far away.

"Get out! There are vast grasslands outside the fortress, and there are endless Huns, as long as they want, they can toss as much as they want. ”

"You let me take them to attack the Huns?" Thorn immediately shook his head in disapproval.

Su Ren said: "Attack? Just relying on a group of bandits to attack the Huns, at best, it can only be regarded as harassment, in addition, as long as you can unify these people, even if your people and horses, as long as you don't mess around in the Han Dynasty, you can go anywhere you want! With so many women and children in mind, do you have to think about their future? With your identity, it may not be easy to integrate into the Han, otherwise you would not live in Tianshui. ”

"What else do you want to do? Be careful when you talk to you! ”

"Don't do anything, just give you a chance."

"What chance?"

"How about a chance to settle down or become a king? My friend can do it, right? ”

Thorn looked at Su Ren with two eyes, his eyes were deep, as if he wanted to see Su Ren's heart. Su Ren was still smiling, and the thorns of laughter couldn't believe Su Ren's words. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, and glanced at Su Ren: "Tell me what you can give me first?" ”

"Food, armor, and reinforcements if necessary!"

"You're so sure I'm going to listen to you? What if one day my power is so great that I become another Hun? ”

Su Ren shook his head: "Absolutely not, you don't have that chance, I'm still sure of that." ”

"Last question, why don't you look for a winning boy?"

Su Ren smiled slightly: "What do you say?" ”

Thorn didn't speak, but sat quietly looking at the moon in the sky for a long time. Su Ren took the thorny wine jug, poured himself a glass, picked up both wine glasses, and handed it to Thorn in his right hand: "Brother Jing, can I have a drink now?" ”
