As Ying Guangji said, it is indeed not easy to find out the real mastermind behind the scenes. Han Qing used all the power he could use to run around Wuzhou for more than ten days, but he didn't get the slightest news, and even the mother and son seemed to disappear out of thin air, and no one had seen them.

Su Ren rested in the inn for five days, and after his spirit recovered, he took people to Shanwu to meet Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi. He didn't tell Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi about being calculated, not because he couldn't trust these two people, but because he felt that it was unnecessary. Speaking of which, he has no intersection with these two people, one side is a general stationed at Yanmen Pass, and the other is an emperor's favorite minister with a secret mission. In a sense, it's best if they don't touch.

However, because of Li Danghu's relationship, Su Ren had to come to this trip, and more importantly, if you want to do business with the Huns, there is no military as a backstage, what if the Huns rob them? Even if someone pretended to be a bandit and robbed them, Su Ren couldn't afford to lose. He's also going to stay here for a long time, so he needs to deal with people from all walks of life.

Shanwu County is not very far from Yanmen Pass, a little farther than Wuzhou in terms of distance, but this side is more open and more suitable for the movement of the army. Compared to Wuzhou, Shanwu is not biased westward, so the ground is a little flatter, there are not so many mountains and hills, and there are no large woods. In its place are farmland that has returned to green. This year, because of the Han army stationed, Yanmen County was not harassed by the Xiongnu, and the people took advantage of this rare opportunity to plant crops and get a little rations.

Su Ren couldn't ride a horse yet, and he felt dizzy when he sat in the car. The poison of the Gulier flower is very ferocious, and although the spirit has eased up a little in the past few days, the body is still very tired. He usually likes to drink tea in the yard, and he always sleeps in his room these days.

Huang Shisan knocked on the carriage lightly: "Sir, do you want to drink some water?" ”

Su Ren gasped and shook his head: "How far is it?" ”

"It's soon, we'll be there in half an hour, or let's take a rest, we'll definitely be there at noon."

Su Ren still shook his head: "Let's go, I'll talk about it when we get there." ”

Shanwu is stationed with a large army, and they are the soldiers and horses who will be stationed at Yanmen Pass in the future. Now Yanmen Pass is still being repaired, in order to prevent the Huns from sabotage, Liu Che sent soldiers and horses in advance. One part was stationed at Yanmen Pass, some were stationed in Dai County, and some were left in Shanwu. The momentum of the three-party city corner made the Huns have no space to drill.

Because of Su Ren's physical reasons, the team did not go fast, and it was exactly five noon when Shanwu arrived.

Shanwu City is even more magnificent than Wuzhou City, with a wide city wall that can run horses, and a tall city gate that is a foot thick. Forty or fifty soldiers were inspecting everyone who was going to enter the good and nothing, to prevent spies from sneaking in. But no matter how carefully they checked, if they were really spies, there would definitely be a way to enter the city. Because Su Ren saw that after the leading team took a few copper coins from others, he ignored that person.

Or the captain was waiting at the gates. Today he was not wearing armor, and he had no retinue with him. When Su Ren came, he was drinking water in the shop on the side of the road, and when he saw Su Ren's team, he hurriedly came out and shouted hello: "Is it Mr. Su in the car?" I've been waiting here for a long time! ”

followed the commander into the city unimpeded, and came to the Taishou Mansion safely. There was no need to pass the word, Du Wei stood at the door and asked Su Ren to get out of the car, and let him inside. In the lobby, Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi were sitting, one of them was holding a bowl of tea in his hand, tasting it, he didn't know what to say, and the expression on his face was very strange.

Li Guang was facing the gate, and when he looked up, he saw Su Ren: "Oh, it's here!" Come on in! ”

Su Ren entered the door and saluted the two: "The kid has seen Li Taishou, Cheng Taishou!" ”

Cheng Buzhi frowned: "Huh! Boy, why are you so pale? The spirit is not very good, and the strength to speak is even weaker? What happened? ”

Su Ren knew each other, and although they didn't have many deep friendships, they were not strangers. Su Ren smiled: "In the past few days, I may not be accustomed to the water and soil, vomiting and diarrhea, although I have gotten better, but my spirit is not very good." ”

"Oh! That's a big deal! Li Guang nodded: "If that's the case, you should rest, if you're tired from this trip, your majesty won't blame the old man when you go back?" ”

Su Ren hurriedly waved his hand: "When the kid comes to Yanmen, he should visit the two Taishou, not to mention that the two are still the elders of the kid, so it's not okay if you don't come!" Come on, bring the presents in! ”

It's not a heavy gift, the gift is ordinary, and it's better to be novel and practical. What paper, what tea and the like are full of two large boxes, so as not to be too guarded by the two to scramble. Cheng Buzhi hurriedly asked Su Ren to sit down, and several people began to chat. started from gossip, and slowly turned to the purpose of Su Ren's coming to Yanmen. Speaking of Yanmen, we have to talk about Yanmen Pass.

Su Ren did not hide it, and took out the Yanmen graphic he drew so that Li Guang and Cheng could not understand it. After watching it, Li Guangyi slapped it on the thigh: "Good, very good!" The old man also went to see it a few days ago, and always felt that something was wrong, as soon as Su Xiaozi's picture came out, the old man finally understood, although Yanmen Pass was built to prevent the Huns, but he couldn't just be beaten, and he had to fight back when necessary, so the change was very good! ”

Cheng Buzhi also nodded: "Especially this urn city and the old man of the fortress like it very much, if I have these two things in the Han city, the siege of the city is not ten times as simple, I didn't expect Mr. Su to have such insight into the construction of the city?" ”

Li Guangda smiled: "You are lonely and unheard, if you want to say that Su Xiaozi built a city, it is not the first time, Huiji New City and Jiangsu City were built by Su Xiaozi, by the way, there are also Taixue and Louguan Academy in Chang'an, these are all from Su Xiaozi's hands." ”

Cheng Buzhi patted his head and laughed: "Yes, yes, look at my memory, how can I forget all this, with Mr. Su here, this Yanmen Pass will definitely be able to build the first pass in the world, and the Huns will never want to enter my Han land from Yanmen Pass!" ”

"Hmmm! This is the reason why His Majesty sent Su Xiaozi, and His Majesty also took a fancy to Su Xiaozi's means of building a city, in this case, from today on, oh no, after Su Xiaozi recovers from his illness, the matter of building Yanmen Pass will be handed over to Su Xiaozi, what does Cheng Taishou think? ”

"Very good, very good, I have no objection!"

Su Ren didn't speak, listening to the two singing and harmonizing. He knew that these two men must be plotting something, most likely the war horses he would get from the Huns in the future. As a veteran of the killing field, who does not know the role of an elite cavalry in the army. Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi are both old rivers and lakes, if each of them has a cavalry in their hands, then they can go sideways in the army.

Thinking of this, Cheng Buzhi glanced at Su Ren: "Huh? It seems that Mr. Su is not happy, is he not willing to contribute for my big man? Or did Your Majesty send you here for another important use? ”

Su Ren waved his hand: "Cheng Taishou misunderstood, the kid didn't come here to be sent by His Majesty, and now the kid is just a grass people, no official and no position, he came to Yanmen just for his family's business, and the kid is a businessman, but he doesn't dare to meddle in military affairs, so he didn't speak." ”

Cheng Buzhi and Li Guang glanced at each other, and Li Guang said, "Oh, I don't know what business Su Xiaozi is going to do?" ”

"It's nothing more than exchanging some things from the Xiongnu for selling my Han vulgar goods."

Cheng Buzhi pretended to be puzzled and said: "I'm afraid this is inappropriate, the imperial court strictly prohibits trading with the Huns, if you have this purpose, the old man will never dare to take these gifts sent today." ”

Su Ren smiled: "Cheng Taishou rest assured, my business is approved by the imperial court, otherwise the kid wouldn't dare to come nonsense." ”

"Oh? Is this really the case? ”

Su Ren took out a piece of silk silk from his arms and offered it with both hands: "If you don't believe it, you will understand after reading it." ”

Li Guang glanced at Cheng Buzhi and reached out to take Su Ren's silk cloth. Cheng Buzhi also leaned over, and as soon as he opened a corner, the faces of the two turned green. They can see the red and glamorous jade seal clearly, Su Ren has given them a dismount. Hurriedly folded the silk cloth, and gave it to Su Ren with both hands: "The minister is reckless!" ”

Su Ren took the silk silk with a smile, stuffed it back into his arms, looked at Li Guang and Cheng Buzhi and said: "So, the two Taishou still don't want to fight those horses, firstly, the kid doesn't know if he can get it back, and secondly, this matter is ......!" ”

Li Guang glared at Su Ren and snorted coldly: "You stinky boy actually played with the old man." ”

Su Ren said with a smile: "It's really the two Taishou who forced me to do nothing, on one side is Your Majesty and on the other side is the two elders, the kid doesn't dare to offend Your Majesty, so he can only offend the two elders, offending the two elders is a big deal to pull out and beat the board, offending Your Majesty will lose your head!" ”

Su Ren said playful, his expression and movements were quite well matched, and it was completely a child's coquettish tone in front of his parents. Li Guang stroked his beard with his hand, and said to Cheng Buzhi with a smile: "I don't have such juniors, this kind of unscrupulous juniors who even tease their elders is still as few as possible!" ”

Cheng Buzhi shook his head and sighed, with a serious face: "Is there really no room for maneuver?" ”

Su Ren thought for a while: "Okay, my Uncle Cheng, Your Majesty wants 10,000 war horses, only if you give it enough, Your Majesty, the rest may be ......."

"Oh? Then ...... said, "Li Guang immediately came to the spirit.

Su Ren nodded: "Only if you have enough for Your Majesty, if there is any surplus, as long as the two Taishou bid appropriately, there will be no problem." ”

Li Guangda smiled, pointed at Su Ren and said to Cheng Buzhi: "See?" Talking to this kid, we are like going over the mountains, up and down, just saying no, and saying that he wants money, this kid still loves money so much. ”

Cheng Buzhi let out a sigh: "Hehe, it's not too late to talk about money, as long as you have it!" ”

The three of them laughed, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately became warm. Li Guang and Cheng didn't know anything about doing business, and they didn't think that Su Ren would be able to do it, because there were too many miracles that happened to Su Ren over the years. To be able to go from a savage in the middle of nowhere to one of the richest businessmen in the world, it is absolutely impossible to do without two brushes. And Su Ren didn't just have two brushes, they already vaguely felt that Su Ren's purpose this time was not just for war horses.
