"Helper?" Seeing that his face was calm, Zhao Gou couldn't help but feel a little strange and worried, and said in a low voice.

glad at Zhao Gou, and the contemplation on his face disappeared. Looking at Zhao Gou's honest face that was still covered with sweat and was sweltered red by the hot weather, a smile appeared on the corner of his happy mouth, and he patted Zhao Gou's shoulder hard, and praised: "Good job!" Come sit down and tell me carefully, where is the envoy from Yanjing now? As he spoke, he happily handed the handkerchief on his body to Zhao Gou and motioned for the latter to wipe his sweat.

Hearing the happy appreciation, Zhao Gou looked excited, took the happy handkerchief and touched it on his face indiscriminately, and then sat down and said: "According to their footsteps, they should have arrived in Southern Yanzhou, and it will take about five days to get to our Xuyi." ”

"Five days? That's enough to do a lot, and I hope it's a smart person, otherwise wouldn't my preparation be in vain? Happy frowned slightly and said to himself.

"Helper, what other tasks do you have, even if you hand it over to your subordinates, your subordinates will definitely not live up to your trust!" Seeing this happy appearance, Zhao Gou's eyes lit up, flashing with excitement, and he hurriedly got closer.

Seeing Zhao Gou's cat like a cat that smelled a fishy smell, he smiled happily and said: "What a happy thing it is to eat and drink enough every day, but you are thinking about running around, you really don't know people who enjoy life!" He sighed happily, looked at Zhao Gou with some suspicion, and said, "Look at your trip, you have been running around day and night, and you are tired enough, is it okay?" ”

When Zhao Gou heard this, he stood up suddenly, slapped his chest with a "bang", looked at it seriously and resolutely, and said happily: "Helper, look, how can you be tired when you ride a horse and gallop for a few days?" Your subordinates have been practicing martial arts with you for more than three months, if you are so careless, won't it be a shame for you? ”

"Yo ho! Okay, Zhao Gou, this has learned the method of agitation! If I say you can't do it, I mean I can't do it myself, yes, yes! Happy eyes widened, and he looked at Zhao Gou in disbelief, as if he knew him for the first time, and his mouth was full of words.

Zhao Gou was uncomfortable with Xing's exploratory gaze, and his cheeks were already reddened even more, like a red-hot iron embryo, and he smiled wryly, scratching his head while looking around.

Happy laughed and said, "Since you are so willing, I am naturally very happy." When Zhao Gou heard this, he immediately looked excited and happy, and his eyes danced with impatient flames.

"Come here with your ears." Zhao Gou hurriedly put his ears forward, happily suppressing his voice to a low level, Zhao Gou nodded while listening, but the more he got later, the more confused the expression on his face became.

"Do you remember everything?"

Zhao Gou nodded seriously and smiled happily: "That's good, go ahead, the faster the better!" ”

"Yes, helper, promise to complete the mission!" As soon as Zhao Gou's body was straight, he didn't say goodbye to happiness, he turned around and ran, but because the speed was too fast, his body rubbed against the door, and the door slammed into the door, but the speed did not decrease a bit.

Looking at the door that still trembled, I couldn't help but smile bitterly. This Zhao Gou, it seems that he has been holding back for a long time, but it seems that he needs to strengthen his qi cultivation skills, how can he write well if he is so uncontrollable? Happy thought so.

On August 8, 573 A.D., a good news came out of the city: the envoy of Yanjing Yecheng was about to arrive in Xuyi, and the purpose was naturally to reward the king of Lanling, who rescued Yangping and fought against Chen's army, and now Zheng Changgong, the Marquis of Xuyi.

Early in the morning, people stood on both sides of the main road from the north gate of Xuyi City to the Inner History Mansion. Everyone had sincere smiles on their faces, they wanted to witness their amiable and lovely Hou Ye being praised by the emperor, and wanted to share this glory and excitement with him.

Although Gao Changgong has only been in Xuyi for more than three months, the entire Xuyi is politically and harmonious. As for the big landlords who have been squeezed by happiness in the past, they have long put aside the grievances in their hearts and firmly united around Gao Changgong.

Xuyi County originally belonged to Huaizhou, and it had four counties under its jurisdiction, namely Kaocheng, Xuyi, Yangcheng and Zhidu. Five days ago, I was happy to invite all the wealthy merchants and landlords of the four counties to the Inner History Mansion.

Before everyone entered the Inner History Mansion, they were all terrified, and their faces were like earth. Why? This Hou Ye is too "greedy". Civilians respect him very much, respect and love him, but they don't know how insidious Gao Changgong is!

Think about whether you have to cut your flesh and bleed or bleed a lot before you and others enter the Inner History Mansion, how do you make them not feel frightened? They also thought about resisting, but they just looked at the murderous soldiers in the military camp outside the city, and their legs and stomachs weakened.

For Gao Changgong to train such an extraordinary army in such a short period of time, they admired it at the same time, but they were also even more afraid. The most important thing is that don't you see, those unruly and unruly, the pioneers of the "revolution", who have been accused of rebellion, are now building roads outside the city? Those ancestors, who didn't even really launch the plan, were served by Gao Changgong. He knew everything about the affairs in Xuyi County, what a terrible thing it was, so that they had to give in, to be precise, lurk, and seek revenge.

But five days ago, almost everyone completely abandoned the idea of revenge, everything was because of money. I'm glad that Ye Jin agreed to do business with everyone.

The news was like a powerful C4 explosive, and everyone was shocked, almost thinking that they were hallucinating, followed by ecstasy. In the whole Xuyi, Ye Jin is the richest man deservedly, of course, happiness is not counted among them, Xuyi County is his family.

A few months ago, everyone was not optimistic about Ye Jin's cooperation with Xingxing, thinking that this was just a means for Xingxing to squeeze money.

But now, they regret it and can't wait to pull themselves back into their mother's womb and reshape themselves. Happy is very kind, he has recorded the thousands of taels of silver donated by those rich people in the past, converted into shares, and every month, Happy will distribute their shares. Looking at the tenfold return in hand, everyone wanted to cry without tears. If they had given 50,000 taels of gold at that time, how much would they have earned now?

The cloth and wooden furniture of this Xuyi City swept the entire Qi country in just three months, and countless dignitaries and nobles rushed to buy them. This has to be thanked for worrying about the son of heaven Gao Weili, what the emperor likes, do the people below still need to choose?

Now, happy has once again thrown an olive branch, how can they not be shocked and excited? Needless to say, most of the landlords and wealthy businessmen stood behind the happy. As long as it does not infringe on their vested interests, it doesn't matter to them who is the assassin and who is the internal history. Compared with the profits that will be earned in the future, the efforts made in the past are just a drizzle, not worth mentioning, and everyone regards the money as an upfront investment.

At the end of the day, the belated figure of the messenger finally appeared in the field of vision.

A relatively luxurious carriage, under the banner of the government, under the escort of dozens of soldiers, slowly drove towards Xuyi City.

Soon, the carriage came twenty meters in front of the North City Gate.

"Daddy." Standing under the city gate, Xing Xing glanced at Gao Changgong beside him, and called softly.

"Huh? What's the matter, Xing'er? Gao Changgong, who lost his mind, turned his head and asked suspiciously.

Looking at Gao Changgong's somewhat sunken eye sockets, the thick melancholy in his eyes that could not be dissolved, just a few days, he has aged a lot, he is only in his early thirties, but the flowery hair on his temples is about to catch up with the fifty-year-old. Happy tightened his fist hidden in his sleeve, and said silently: I will never allow anyone to destroy my family, never!

"The messenger has arrived, let's go and meet him!" Happy to show with his eyes.

"Oh, yes, let's go!" Gao Changgong's expression tightened, he took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and strode towards the carriage. Behind him, the officials of Xuyi County did not dare to slack off, and they all collected their minds and went together.

A man came down from the carriage, thirty years old, not tall, not wearing official clothes, but wearing a well-made and expensive bearded suit. He has fair and clean skin, a handsome appearance, two black and thick mustaches, a pair of eyes that are shining between opening and closing, and he has the momentum of being in the top position for a long time, and he is not angry and arrogant.

Looking at the people walking down the carriage, Gao Changgong was shocked, a flash of surprise flashed on his face, more bitterness and helplessness, but it was fleeting, and he quickly regained his composure, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a happy smile.

The messenger who got off the car glanced at the people gathered on both sides of the road, his brows couldn't help frowning, and when he saw Gao Changgong, his originally expressionless face suddenly bloomed with a bright smile, and he took a few steps.

"It turned out that the king of Changli arrived, Zheng Changgong missed the distance, and he hoped to forgive his sins and forgive his sins!" There was still a distance of three meters from the messenger, and Gao Changgong saluted, looking apologetic.

"Master Hou is too polite, you have contributed a lot to Yangping's victory, and the Holy Dragon Yan is happy, so I sent Changluan to visit you!" The messenger hurriedly returned the salute and said with a smile.

Happy has already understood the identity of this messenger, he is the celebrity in front of Gao Wei today, Han Changluan, one of the Changli kings of Northern Qi Sangui.
