"I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from here, leave to buy road wealth. www.biquge.info"A heroic looking man who pretended to be a one-eyed dragon with an eyepatch intercepted the Zhou family's convoy. The Zhou family is a big family in Luoyang, and the original patriarch Zhou Se is also a person who ranks among the three princes, with the prestige of the Zhou family, he has never encountered a robbery, and he is still in Luoyang City, at the foot of the former Son of Heaven.

"Who are you to dare to intercept my Zhou family's convoy." A middle-aged man with a beard walked out of the convoy, his face calm, but he was not angry.

"The head of the family, why don't you talk to this person, it's over." A strong man walked out from behind the middle-aged man, holding a steel knife in his hand, looking very powerful.

The head of the Zhou family blocked the strong man with his hand, and then said with a smile: "In the next Zhou family, Zhou Fang, Xi is the head of the Zhou family, and I don't know the name and surname of the strong man." ”

The "one-eyed" man's face turned red, because being a bandit was never a glorious thing, and besides, he was not a real bandit.

"A certain family...... Wei Gang, if you want to survive, you have to stay and buy road money. The real identity of the "one-eyed" man is the general of Chen Xun's army, Jiang Xu, yesterday, he was sent by Chen Xun as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, as for the name Wei Gang is the name of Jiang Xu's deputy general, Jiang Xu betrayed his adjutant with the mentality of a friend who is not dead and poor.

"Master of the family, don't say more, see if I solve him." That strong man was a guard hired by Zhou Fang with a lot of money, and he had been suffering from not having the opportunity to show himself, but today he finally found an opportunity.

The strong man first put on a show, and then rushed towards Jiang Xu, looking at this strong man, Jiang Xu's eyes showed disdain, because this strong man had too many flaws on his body.

Jiang Xu stepped out, his body was slightly tilted, and he dodged the strong man's knife, and then he punched out, knocking the strong man's whole body away.

"The head of the Zhou family, your family's guards are really not good." Jiang Xu looked at Zhou Fang, his eyes full of provocation.

Hearing this, Zhou Fang was not annoyed, and said lightly: "I didn't expect that Chen Fuzhi, who was famous all over the world and studied under Lu Zhi, was all this kind of rat thief and dog thief." ”

Jiang Xu was shocked when he heard this, although he knew that if he did this kind of thing, his identity would be exposed sooner or later, but he didn't expect that this was the first time he did it, and he would be debunked by others.

"Daddy, you see that one-eyed man's blindfold doesn't seem to fit, it's going to fall off." A little girl poked out of the sedan chair, and when she saw Jiang Xu, who seemed to be fierce, she was not afraid, and her little eyes were full of agility.

Jiang Xu pulled the blindfold, and it was indeed too big.

"Qing'er, don't be rude." Zhou Fang said angrily.

The woman in the carriage made a grimace at Jiang Xu, and then a probe entered the sedan chair.

Zhou Fang looked at Jiang Xu, still with that shallow smile on his face.

"I don't know who the general is under Chen Fuzhi."

"A certain Wei Gang is a bandit and doesn't do anything to General Chen." Jiang Xu was cheeky and said viciously.

Zhou Fang smiled lightly, and then said: "I don't have any money, or you will arrest me and go to see your king." ”

Jiang Xu was taken aback, then straightened his chest and said, "A certain family is the king." ”

"Take me to your king quickly." Zhou Fang exuded a kind of momentum that only has a perennial superior, which made Jiang Xu can't help but be suppressed.

Jiang Xu didn't know how to answer, and at this moment, a young and heroic general walked out of Jiang Xu's rear, and then saluted Zhou Fang: "Master of the Zhou family." ”

Looking at the person in front of him, Zhou Fang's eyes lit up, because the person in front of him said that he looked young, but he was seriously full of depth, and his whole body was full of luxury. A majesty of the superior permeated his body.

"The person who came, but Chen Xun, the governor of Luoyang, Chen Fuzhi." Zhou Fang asked.

Chen Xun smiled slightly, then nodded.

"He is Chen Xun, I didn't expect him to be so handsome." The woman named Qing'er looked at Chen Xun, her eyes full of little stars.

"Qing'er, go back quickly, don't mess around." Zhou Fang was furious, and the woman named Qing'er immediately retracted her head.

"General Chen, please." Zhou Fang took Chen Xun to a secret mansion, which made Chen Xun very amazed.

"General Chen, you are really bold enough to dare to come to my mansion alone." Zhou Fang looked at Chen Xun, whose face did not change, and couldn't help but admire.

Chen Xun smiled slightly and said, "The head of the Zhou family has praised it, if you don't have this courage, how can you talk about defending one side." ”

Zhou Fang nodded, expressing approval, and then said; "I don't know how General Chen eats in Luoyang."

Chen Xun's eyes flashed with a hint of essence, and then said with a smile: "Luoyang is rich, it was the former imperial capital, and it is clever to eat, but it is not enough. ”

Zhou Fang nodded when he heard this: "What General Chen said is very true, although Luoyang food is exquisite, it is difficult to make people full, but my Zhou family has also had some savings over the years, and it should not be a problem to feed the guests." ”

"What do you want?" Chen Xun's eyes flashed, and Zhou Fang's words were to say to Chen Xun: "I will provide the Zhou family with what you want, but you also need to pay bargaining chips." "The Zhou family is a century-old family in Luoyang, and the heritage can be described as very rich, when Li Guo and the others wanted to cut the Zhou family to the root after killing Zhou Se, but found that if they moved the Zhou family, they would inevitably break their muscles and bones, and finally reached an agreement with the Zhou family.

"General Chen, do you want to go west?" Zhou Fang said with a smile.

"Expedition to the West? The head of the Zhou family, don't be joking, with the current strength of our army, wanting to go west is tantamount to a fool's dream, you must know that the current Li Guo and the others still have 100,000 soldiers and horses in their hands. Chen Xun snorted and replied.

"Since General Chen doesn't want to be honest with me, then I won't talk about it." Zhou Fang got up and wanted to leave.

Chen Xun was taken aback, and immediately said: "I have plans to go west, but now both soldiers and horses are short of money and food, if they go on an expedition, I am afraid it will take some time." ”

Zhou Fang stopped, turned his head to look directly at Chen Xun, and said: "General Chen, my Zhou family has a small influence in Luoyang, you have been raising troops, collecting grain, and training soldiers these days, is it really that Zhou Fang is a blind man." After Zhou Fang finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Chen Xun hurriedly got up, pulled Zhou Fang back, and said with a smile on his face: "I really want to go west in the short term, but I am a lot worse in terms of grain and grass, so I want to earn some grain and grass by robbing." ”

Zhou Fang had already guessed what Chen Xun meant, Chen Xun wanted to send someone to block Luoyang's trade routes, and then extort money from the Luoyang family to fill the military rations of his army, but this move had many hidden dangers.

"General Chen, it is incumbent upon our Zhou family to provide food for the country." Zhou Fang stepped forward and shook Chen Xun's hand, which made Chen Xun feel a little tired in his heart. However, in order to better perform this play, he had to say: "Brother Zhou, your Zhou family is really a loyal martyr." ”

When Zhou Fang heard this, his face turned straight, which made Chen Xun also awe-inspired.

"Alright, General Chen, it's time for us to talk about the conditions."

Chen Xun felt extremely unhappy in his heart, but if he could really negotiate terms with the Zhou family, then the problem of grain and grass for his westward expedition would be solved, so he decided to continue talking.
