The moon and stars are scarce, and tomorrow is a good day. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hopefully we can give a good result tomorrow!" Zhao Min looked at the moonlit sky through the window curtains, and prayed secretly in his heart.

The conversation with Yue Ji went well. Zhao Min did not tell Yue Ji his identity, only that it was inconvenient to disclose it at present, so it was best to take a cooperative approach now, that is, Yue Ji would take a stake in Qingyixuan, but he would not participate in the specific management. Yue Ji hesitated for a while, as a local wealthy businessman, he naturally knew Qingyixuan's reputation, and at the same time, Qingyixuan's predicament was also a little known. To make him invest a large sum of money in such a situation, to be honest, it does take quite a lot of courage. Yue Ji's final reply was to give him some time to think about it and reply tomorrow. Zhao Min knew that he wanted to have a deeper understanding of the situation, which was also the proper meaning of the question, so he nodded and agreed to let him think about it on his own.

If what Yue Ji said was true, his original purpose was to seek officials, but it turned out to be a business investment for Zhao Min, and it was impossible to say that he didn't mumble in his heart. In this case, anyone will definitely hesitate!

Speaking of which, it is not impossible to invest, but as a mature businessman, in business, it is natural to consider the issue of return on investment. Qingyixuan's current situation is obvious, the money scene is ambitious, and the reality is cruel. If no one pulls it now, it is likely to slide into the abyss from which it will never recover.

Although Zhao Min did not specify the specific amount, if he wants to support a huge Qingyixuan, the amount must not be too small. As Yue Ji himself, he may not be opposed to pulling Qingyixuan, the problem is that he doesn't know Zhao Min's identity, and he must have doubts about whether Zhao Min has enough ability to become a backer standing behind Qingyixuan. In such a situation, he must not be careless.

But then again, since Yue Ji promised to reply tomorrow, it shows that he is thinking about this matter with his heart, and his cautious attitude proves his sincerity. In other words, this is also a test for Yue Ji, and with his years of experience in business, he should not be unable to see this. That is, helping someone will not necessarily be rewarded, but if he doesn't make a move, Zhao Min's door here will definitely not be open to him again. According to Zhao Min's observation, Yue Ji is a smart person who is confident and has a resolute character, and should know how to choose, so Zhao Min is not too worried about the success rate of this matter.

When he returned to the room after the negotiation with Yue Ji, Shao Qi came to report that the envoy from Luoyang finally arrived at Linyang at night after many days of trekking and stayed at the post house. After getting the exact news, Zhao Min didn't care that Mr. Meng was already resting, so he dragged him up and discussed for half a night.

In fact, this was also discussed at the beginning, and the task of contacting the imperial court envoy was handed over to Meng Hou. This is also the main reason why Meng Hou, the head of the civil officials of the Jimo system, abandoned all government affairs and followed Zhao Min all the way to Linyong. It is definitely inappropriate for Zhao Min to come forward in person for this kind of private contact, and it is either inappropriate to hand it over to others, or it is not at ease to do things, only Meng Hou, in terms of identity, is the second person in the Jimo forces, and he is resourceful in terms of ability, and he can be said to be dedicated to Zhao Min, so there is no more suitable person than Meng Hou.

The main discussion between the two is to analyze the possible situation and then consider how to deal with it. And because Shao Qi grew up in Beijing after all, he has some understanding of the situation of the characters in Beijing, so he also participated in the discussion. This discussion lasted for most of the night, and it didn't end until the fourth watch.

Even though Zhao Min was tired and wanted to die, he still dragged his tired body to Weiying's room to greet him, praised him for his calm encounter tonight, and he had the style of a general, and then revealed the idea of wanting Weiying to serve as the commander of the guard. This is the main purpose of this trip with Weiying, taking advantage of Xiaoying's excellent performance tonight, and telling the other party his thoughts while the iron is hot. Seeing Zhao Min's dignity and dignity talking to him in person, Wei Ying was still a little moved. In addition, he himself knew that he really could not compare with Jiang Qin in terms of ability, not to mention that the identity of the captain of the pro-guard team was not insulting to him, so he finally agreed to Zhao Min's request.

The affairs here came to an end for the time being, and a stone in Zhao Min's heart finally landed, and after encouraging Wei Ying again, he could finally drag his tired body back to the guest room.

"It's pretty much the same, and all that's left is to wait. Whatever the outcome, tomorrow will finally be the case! Although there were still distracting thoughts in his mind, Zhao Min still ignored it, and lay on the bed with his clothes, and fell asleep in a daze.

The next day, Zhao Min got up very early and checked out after a routine exercise out of the city. However, he didn't meet Yue Ji in and out this time, so he must have gone out early in the morning to inquire about the news, which also shows how serious he is about this matter from another angle.

Today is March 14th, and according to the requirements of Qingzhou Mansion, the King of Beihai should arrive at Linzhu no matter what. Zhao Min himself actually arrived a long time ago, but after all, it was Weifu who slipped in quietly, and it was not known to outsiders, so if someone asked when he would arrive, it would inevitably be a little embarrassing. In order to avoid trouble, and at the same time, it is appropriate to be high-profile, so under the discussion of everyone, the way it should be done is still to be done. Today, Zhao Min will go out of the city to join the Jimo brigade that has been delayed for a few days, and re-stage a drama of "first arrival" in a big way.

Of course, not everyone who followed Zhao Min into Linyang would follow Zhao Min out of the city again, at least Meng Hou and Shao Qi would stay in the city. Needless to say, the reason why Meng Hou stayed, he went out early in the morning with gifts; Shao Qi wanted to lead Si Wencao to investigate the details of Qingyixuan and Taiyue Tower. Since Zhao Min intends to integrate the two into the Jimo system, he may become the eyes and ears of Jimo in Qingzhou Mansion in the future, so naturally he can't act rashly, at least to confirm whether what Yue Ji or Su Xiaoxiao said is true. Fortunately, Si Wencao is already good at mixing in the market, and it is easy to find out some news, plus whether it is a restaurant or a green building, it is a topic that idlers are willing to chat, it is not difficult to find out, and a whole day's work should be enough.

In addition, Shao Qi also had a task to stay in the inn, that is, to act as a messenger between Yue Ji and Su Xiaoxiao and Zhao Min. If there is any emergency between the two of them, and they want to look for Zhao Min but can't find it, maybe they think that it is unlikely that Zhao Min will run away, but if there is any other misunderstanding, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous?

After Zhao Min and his guards left the city, they went all the way to the east, and it was not until more than ten miles later that they met the large group of men and horses who had already camped and waited here. Among them, Chen Zhen, Xiahou Ying and others were suddenly listed. Since they had to enter the city today, the time was pressing, and everyone didn't bother to greet each other, and after cleaning up, the team set foot on the road to Lingong again.

This time, under Chen Zhen's suggestion, he also made a lot of effort, but he saw a canopy cart, driven by four selected high-headed horses, white in water, extremely tall and mighty; There were four smaller cars around. The guard of honor played by the eighty-one guards around them was originally a sturdy samurai, with bright yellow smocks, dark armor, and various weapons such as ge, spears, halberds, and yues in their hands, which looked majestic; In front of the car are twelve cavalry holding the flag, the best horseman in the army, and the "King of the North Sea" and "the fourth son of the emperor" fluttering on the two big flags in front of the head are eye-catching. In addition, more than a dozen drummers were specially selected, and the sounds of various drums, festival drums, sheng, and pipes were endless, drifting in the wind.

Zhao Min was not very interested in these superficial skills, and as for the red tape, he was even more insensitive, so after gathering everyone, he got into the cart and didn't even have the mood to take a second look. First, last night's sleep time was too short, and secondly, after getting up early to exercise, it was galloping, and at this time, I just wanted to hurry up and make up for the sleepiness. I have to say that the people of this era still know how to enjoy themselves, this canopy car has a radius of five steps, not to mention spacious, but also covered with brocade silk cushions everywhere, and it is very comfortable to lie down. Although the big cars of this era lack good shock absorption measures, under the layers of various soft cushions, the big cars don't feel how to bump. In the midst of the shaking of the vehicle, Zhao Min quickly fell asleep.

Zhao Min was awakened by a commotion. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, he lifted the curtain and looked out, only to see the bluestone-paved avenues, rows of buildings, and the crowds on both sides came into view. Looking up at the sky, it was almost past the time of Shen, and it was more than three hours to walk in just a dozen miles!

Zhao Min shook his head and smiled, turned over and got up, knocked on the lintel of the door, and commanded in a low voice: "Please ask Uncle Xiahou to get in the car and talk." Soon, Xiahou Ying dragged her slightly bloated body and climbed into the cart. As soon as he saw Zhao Min, he smiled and said: "Ah Min, the reputation of the King of Beihai today is enough to be beautiful, from the time he entered the city to the present, the people are vying to watch!" ”

Zhao Min lowered his head and smiled without replying, this situation was also expected. Although Linzhu is the governor of Qingzhou, the local people are also well-informed; But Qingzhou is a remote area after all, and it is difficult to find the king, so it is normal for his convoy to enter the city to arouse people's curiosity and onlookers. Besides, isn't the purpose of a group of subordinates trying to build such an eye-catching team just to attract people's attention? No matter how dissatisfied you Cao Kai is with me, it is impossible for you to turn a blind eye to the low-eyed Wang Jia, right?

Zhao Min opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle, is there any news from Mr. Xunzhi?" ”

"There's no news yet."

"What about Shao Caopeng? Nor did they send anyone in return? ”

"This ...... There is no news yet. ”

Zhao Min frowned, it has been five or six hours since the morning, whether it is a private meeting between Meng Hou and the imperial envoy, or Shao Qi's side to inquire about the situation, it stands to reason that there should have been news a long time ago, is there any variable?

Seeing Zhao Min bowing his head and frowning and thinking, Xiahou Ying coughed, his face was a little gloomy, and he slowly spoke: "The person who came to welcome us at the gate of the city arranged us in the west wing of the post house, and informed us to have a banquet for the court angels in the Thorn Mansion in the evening, and invited the King of Beihai to attend at that time." ”

Seeing that Xiahou Ying's face was not good, Zhao Min temporarily put aside his doubts and asked, "Uncle, what are you worried about?" ”

Xiahou Ying hissed like a toothache and said: "That surnamed Cao is too deceitful, and it is also used to invite Wang Jia to the dinner party to welcome the king of Beihai...... The word used as a companion! ”
