Hu Sizheng turned his head and glanced at He Ruobi, and sighed in his heart, after many years of lurking, he was exposed to Wang Shichong because of He Ruobi's impulsiveness, he believed that if Gao Xi was here, it would never be possible to go online with Wang Shichong now, and would rather let Shen Liusheng temporarily withdraw from Yingzhou, rather than rashly meet with the Wang family who did not know friends and enemies when the situation was not clear, He Ruobi still couldn't hold his breath after all, and a shadow flashed in Hu Sizheng's heart.

But He Ruobi didn't notice the changes in Hu Sizheng's expression, let alone know what he was thinking in his heart, Hu Sizheng's initial words made him nod again and again, and Wang Shichong's answer made him feel impeccable, hearing this, He Ruobi said: "Wang Shichong, then what are your plans in Yingzhou now?" This time I want to hear the truth, now that you know who we are, how do you plan to get along with us in the future? ”

Wang Shichong saw that Hu Sizheng didn't speak, but the light in his eyes kept flickering, he knew that he had been moved by his own words, and began to plan a way back for himself, as long as the resourceful Hu Sizheng didn't speak, just to deal with He Ruobi, he was still very confident, but he had been thinking about how to deal with this group of princes just now, which determined whether he could meet his expectations in Yingzhou in the next few years.

Wang Shichong pondered for a long time, raised his head, and his eyes revealed a firmness: "General He Ruo, in fact, Wang's purpose of coming to Yingzhou has not changed, whether it is for Xiao Miao, for Hu Si Changshi, for Chen Ling, or for you today, it is the same." Wang just wants to spend the day in Yingzhou peacefully, that's all, so he is as restless as Xiao Miao. Wang could only send the guest out early. I hope you can also make it convenient for Wang. ”

He Ruobi shook his head in disbelief: "Wang Shichong." You have not been here for a few days, and you have made a lot of money, and you have found out the bottom of this Yingzhou, squeezed out Xiao Miao, and bought Chen Ling with a lot of money, and now you are still meeting with us, and for this reason, you have also shown your talent for solving cases in public, and you have done so many things. Just to mess around here? ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "It can't be called a mess, Wang still hopes to make a difference, this time Wang is the assassin, and it is also the first time in Wang's life that he has been released to the state and county, and he is in charge, Wang hopes to do things well here, and I hope that this can alleviate my current predicament to some extent." ”

He Ruobi nodded: "If that's the case, then we can talk about cooperation between us, we actually have the same thoughts as you, to put it bluntly, it's two sentences." If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone. If anyone sins against me, I will offend. ”

He Ruobi's last few words were as resolute as iron, and with his might, his beard and hair were not blowing lightly, and the ground was majestic.

Wei Zheng, who had never spoken, suddenly said: "General He Ruo, is this your personal meaning, or is it the meaning of Gao Servant and General Changsun?" ”

He Ruobi's face changed: "Wei Zheng, what do you mean by asking?" Are you questioning the old man's qualifications to negotiate with you? ”

Wei Zheng smiled faintly, arched his hand, owed his body, apologized, and said unhurriedly: "How dare you, who in the world doesn't know that General He Ruo is a general, of course your words are ten thousand sentences, otherwise how could our master and servant come here today?" ”

"I just want to confirm that Gao Servant and General Changsun are also important ministers and famous generals after all, and now they both have official status, will they have a small disagreement with you? You also know the relationship between Gao Servant and my lord, in case he is unhappy and refuses to cooperate with us, it won't make General He Ruo unable to come to the stage. ”

When Yang Guangchu entered the East Palace, he once asked He Ruobi who is a hero today, and He Ruobi said unashamedly that Yang Su is a fierce general rather than a general, Shi Wansui is a cavalry general rather than a general, and Han Baohu is a fighting general rather than a leading general. Then he kept silent triumphantly, until Yang Guang smiled and asked him who could be called a general, He Ruobi said, but His Royal Highness took it himself. The implication is that he is a general.

This joke has been circulating in the world for several years, and the peddlers and pawns will make fun of He Ruobi's bold words, compared with the other three, He Ruobi has not made too many achievements in his life except for the battle of destroying Chen, especially compared with Yang Su who fought in the south and the north, it is far inferior, and Yang Su has been the commander in command of the whole army many times, but he was actually said to be brave and unstrategic, and only He Ruobi's own face was lost.

Therefore, the word general has almost become synonymous with the sarcasm of He Ruobi, and Wei Zheng said this in front of He Ruobi, so angry that He Ruobi's old face was red, blowing his beard and glaring at him.

As for the last few sentences, it is even more ironic that He Ruobi is now unofficial and light, compared with Gao Xi and Changsun Sheng, the weight is far from enough, and there is even a suspicion of making his own opinion, as soon as these words came out, even Hu Sizheng, who has been holding a wait-and-see attitude, can't listen to it.

Before He Ruobi opened his mouth to scold angrily, Hu Sizheng shouted in a deep voice: "Mr. Wei's speech may not be too damaged, if General He Ruo can't be in charge, how can Boss Shen and I accompany here today?" Don't talk nonsense if you don't know, Wang Tingshi hasn't opened his mouth yet. ”

Wei Zheng smiled and shook his head: "Brother Husi, you and I are both assisting others, in this position, you should naturally fulfill your responsibilities, my lord has taken care of General He Ruo's face, and has not said it directly, but I, a brother, can't help but remind him of this, after all, General He Ruo has no hatred with the lord and the Yue Guogong, but Gao Servant can be said to be directly driven down by the Yue Guogong and the Empress of Wenwen, how can this hatred be so easy to resolve?" And the lord turned away from Gao Servant Shot and switched to Yue Guogong back then, I'm afraid that Gao Servant Shot also hated my lord. ”

"It's not that the juniors question General He Ruo's authority, you are the Big Three, of course, General He Ruo can directly replace the other two in general matters, but cooperating with us is a big deal, and there are variables in the grievances of Gao Servant and the Lord in the middle, so we can't help but be cautious, General He Ruo, you say yes."

He Ruobi had calmed down at this time, it was really a loss of identity to lose his posture in front of the juniors, and he was a little grateful to Qi Hu Sizheng for speaking out before he was ready to scold, and he didn't make things out of control.

After sorting out his thoughts, He Ruobi said, "Wei Zheng." You don't know the relationship between the three of us. Don't talk nonsense here. The three of us discussed everything, including the old man's coming to Yingzhou this time, it was because Wang Shichong also happened to be here, Gao Fuchu and General Changsun couldn't rest assured, so they entrusted the old man to come here to deal with it, including the meeting with you, it was all discussed in advance, and it was definitely not a whim of the old man. ”

"Also, you can't help but think that Gao Xi Gao Servant Shot is too unbearable. Is it in your eyes, Gao Servant is as intolerant as Yang Su? If he was really such a person, how could he recommend Yang Suhe Xingman to enter the court as an official back then? ”

"He himself has told us many times that his dismissal from office has little to do with Yang Su, mainly because the former emperor, especially the Empress Wenwen, is determined to bring down King Fangling (Yang Yong's nickname after his death), and whether he is a left servant or as the in-law of King Fangling, he can't allow such a thing to happen in public or private, so he doesn't have any hatred for Yang Su. It won't be ruined because of this. ”

"As for Xingman, Gao Servant has always said that he is a great talent. Even if there is no one to support, sooner or later he will be able to enter the phase, and some of the previous things are also involuntary self-preservation, and he will not hold grudges to the end. ”

When Wang Shichong heard this, he suddenly said: "In this way, General He Ruo can be the master today, right?" ”

He Ruobi nodded proudly: "Yes, the one you said to the old man today can represent Gao Servant and General Changsun, you can rest assured that you will definitely not repay the debt, as for the things that need to be discussed with them, the old man will not promise you here." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly and said, "Since this is the case, we can talk openly and honestly about the future." Just now Wang has made his plan clear, that is, he just wants to live a stable life in Yingzhou, by the way, practice how to be self-reliant, it is best for people with bad intentions to leave early, Wang will have a big gift to earn, if you operate in other places, the incident has nothing to do with Wang, and Wang has no intention of reporting you. ”

He Ruobi said in a deep voice: "Actually, our goal should be about the same, as long as Yang Guang doesn't really kill us, we will make do with it." Wang Shichong, the three of us have had enough scenery in this life, the old man has the merit of destroying Chen, and the high servant has been shooting for 20 years, and General Changsun will be recorded in history forever as a hero who pacified the Turks, and he really has no idea about the throne, plus the king of Fangling is dead, what we have done is nothing more than self-preservation. ”

He Ruobi glanced at Hu Sizheng, who was thinking about Hu Sizheng beside him, and said with a smile: "If it is like Hu Si Changshi, if he has not entered the court in his life, he may still want to fight, and now Gao Servant has just made a comeback, and he has no real power in his hands, after a year and a half of gaining a firm foothold, he will naturally let Hu Si Changshi enter the court as an official." So we didn't do anything in Yingzhou and even the whole of Jingxiang, that is, Liusheng's business has become a little bigger. ”

Wang Shichong looked at Shen Liusheng with a smug look on his face, and said, "Boss Shen is so successful in this area, is it because of General He Ruo's financial support, or because of their connections?" ”

Shen Liusheng didn't speak, and He Ruobi smiled slightly: "It's both, after all, the old man and Gao Servant are important ministers in the court, and the industries under their names are all over the country, like the Dajiang Gang has always sold our face, many of them are my subordinates when I conquered Nanchen, and when Liusheng wanted to defeat competitors in transportation, the Dajiang Gang made a big effort." ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "I see. So next, what is General He Ruo going to do in Yingzhou, and continue to dominate the market in Yingzhou here? ”

He Ruobi waved his hand: "Wang Shichong, you came today because you gave me face, the old man naturally can't treat you as an enemy like a while ago, so it's okay, the old man knows that you and Chen Ling have now formed an alliance, and the old man has no interest in dealing with Chen Ling, let alone having anything to do with Queen Xiao." ”

"The industry of Yingzhou City, the old man and you add two to one, one and a half, everyone operates their own forces, and they also join forces to prevent outside forces from entering Yingzhou, what do you think?"

Wang Shichong said without thinking: "Very good, that's all." However, this is limited to Yingzhou. ”

He Ruobi's face changed: "Wang Shichong, what do you mean by this?" ”

A strange smile appeared on Wang Shichong's face: "General He Ruo, your conditions are really good, only share it with me in this Yingzhou place, and I have to bring a greedy Chen Ling with me." ”

"In other places in the Jingxiang region, you can rest assured and bold to continue to cooperate with Xiao Miao, and I am not justified there. I can't reach my hand. So you mention yì. To put it bluntly, it is to divide half of Yingzhou with me, and to leave the entire Jingxiang to you and Xiao Miao, right? ”

He Ruobi was speechless by Wang Shichong, and could only say in a deep voice: "Then if you have any ideas, you can mention them directly." ”

Wang Shichong put away his smile and said, "Very good, then please forgive the younger generation for being rude, Yingzhou is so divided." The younger generation can accept it, but correspondingly, the younger generation will also send people to other states and counties in Jingxiang to operate, rest assured, the younger generation is not Xiao Milling, and he will not build weapons and armor like him, and plot against him, the younger generation just wants to open a store and do business, just like General He Ruo. Earn a few dollars to spend. ”

He Ruobi said angrily: "Wang Shichong, what do you mean? You said earlier that you just need to spend peacefully in this Yingzhou. And now you want to meddle in this Jingxiang land, what do you want to do? ”

Wang Shichong met He Ruobi's eyes full of anger, did not back down, and said coldly: "It's not that the juniors have rebelled, but that General He Ruo is really not enough friends and has always refused to explain your true intentions to the juniors." and offered such insincere cooperation conditions, which is not to blame the younger generation for being rude. ”

Shen Liusheng said in a deep voice: "Wang Shichong, how did my General He Ruo cover up his true intentions, and why is he not sincere?" You make it clear, don't make something out of nothing! ”

Wang Shichong snorted coldly: "General He Ruo has always emphasized that he has no intention of plotting against Xiao Mo like that Xiao Miao, but when Xiao Mo finally left, he handed over all the properties to you, and in exchange, you gave Xiao Mo part of the industry in Jingxiang, what does this mean?" This shows that so far, you and Xiao Miao, a real careerist, are the real cooperation, as for the juniors, they just coped with things. ”

"Throw out half of the property of a small Yingzhou City, and you will have to divide it with that Chen Ling, and then keep your entire Jingxiang territory, General He Ruo, you may not be too stingy, if you change it to a high servant, at least you will take out the entire Yingzhou."

He Ruobi's face was blue and red for a while, and it was really embarrassing for Wang Shichong, a junior, to puncture all his thoughts in a few words. But this is indeed the true thought in his heart, after explaining it to Wang Shichong, although he was annoyed and angry, he had no way to defend it, so he could only sneer while thinking about how to put forward a new proposal.

When Wang Shichong saw He Ruobi like this, he also knew that he couldn't force him too hard for a while, otherwise he would really turn his face, and it was not what he wanted to see. So he cleared his throat and lowered his voice a little: "General He Ruo, Wang knows, maybe Gao Servant and General Changsun really have no desire to fight, but you have always been very interested in this Jingxiang land, long before Gao Servant shot the prime minister, you asked the emperor for the position of governor of Jingzhou, and Boss Shen and Hu Si Changshi were also sent here early by you." ”

"Gao Servant is not very good at cooperating with an ambitious wolf like Xiao Miao, if he is willing to cooperate with this kind of person, he will not end up in today's situation. Therefore, the younger generation dares to speak, this must be your General He Ruo's personal decision, and Gao Servant and General Changsun, one mind is in the court, the other is in the north, for the affairs of Jingxiang in the south, they will not tear their faces with you General He Ruo, this is the case in the matter of Xiao Miao, and the same is true in the affairs of the younger generations. ”

The light in He Ruobi's eyes kept flickering, and he became more and more shocked that Wang Shichong was mature and terrifying, at the age of thirty, he could sort things out so well, and even the relationship between himself and Gao Xi and Changsun Sheng was clear, even if it was Yang Su, he would be very surprised to be able to say such a thing, let alone this young man in his thirties.

He Ruobi said in a deep voice: "Wang Xingman, you don't have to guess about the things between us, it has nothing to do with you, you just need to remember that if you are directly face to face, it is me He Ruobi." Similarly, in this Jingxiang land, I don't recognize others, only you Wang Shichong. It seems that you are not satisfied with the old man's mention just now, so you can mention one yourself, if you can do it, you will do what you say, but the matter of reaching out to the whole Jingxiang will be avoided. ”

Wang Shichong laughed secretly in his heart, this He Ruobi finally showed his fox tail, and he had no ambition after following his words for a long time, but if he really wanted to mention Jing Xiang, he was completely exposed, obviously moving the same mind as Xiao Miao, and he had to pretend to be harmless to humans and animals, it was really hypocritical, no wonder even Yang Su didn't look down on this person, and he didn't know why Gao Xi's generation of famous ministers would be involved with him.

However, Wang Shichong's expression did not reveal any thoughts in his heart, he was still calm, and he said slowly: "If you want the younger generation not to interfere with Jing Xiang, it's okay." It's just that this Yingzhou City must be exclusively occupied by the juniors, and Boss Shen can't keep a single shop except for the Shen firm, and there, only three guys can be left behind, responsible for the liaison with the juniors. ”

He Ruobi said angrily: "Wang Shichong, you are too much, you are going to squeeze us out of this Yingzhou?" You don't know how much effort we put into taking over the shops left by Xiao Miao? ”

Wang Shichong said word by word: "That's your business, as long as the younger generation has its own things, it won't work for a single point!" ”

He Ruobi stared at Wang Shichong fiercely, his face was so red that he was about to drip blood, but Wang Shichong looked calm, but he glared back at He Ruobi without showing weakness, without even blinking his eyelids.

He knew that this time was a contest of momentum, and he must not lose the upper hand, even if he blinked his eyes, he might give the other party the wrong psychological hint. After coming to Yingzhou, whether it is facing Xiao Mo or Chen Ling, he has always been overwhelming in momentum, and now even in the face of the world's famous generals, Chen Guo will not let him take even half a step back.

The atmosphere in the secret room suddenly became very tense, and the powerful aura exuded by Wang Shichong and He Ruobi, who were glaring angrily, almost made Wei Zheng and Hu Sizheng, who were standing on the side, unable to breathe, Hu Sizheng wanted to ease the scene, laughed dryly, and before he could speak, he was scolded by He Ruobi: "Hu Si, don't talk too much, stay away!" ”

Wang Shichong didn't say a word, and continued to look at He Ruobi's bloodshot triangular eyes, from He Ruobi's beast-like eyes, he saw not only anger, threat, but also a trace of uneasiness, Wang Shichong sneered in his heart: A real strong man, that kind of majesty should be from the inside out, just like Gao Xi and Yang Su, instead of relying on a loud voice and pretending to be fierce to scare people, strength is the basis of negotiations, and He Ruobi has no advantage in this point.

After a long time, He Ruobi still sighed and said, "Wang Shichong, you are really difficult, but as a young man, your anger is inevitably too strong." ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "General He Ruo, are you still called a young man if you are not angry?" ”

He Ruobi was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed: "Okay, good answer, good courage, really worthy of Wang Shichong, who is known as the world's famous general, we are already old, and the future will be a world of tigers and wolves like you." However, the two conditions you mentioned are not what you really want, and now, you should prescribe the conditions you really want. ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "General He Ruo is really wise, to tell the truth, after the juniors came to Yingzhou, they have seen a lot of heroes from all walks of life, but it is General He Ruo who impresses the juniors the most, the aura of a general for decades is not something that can be learned overnight, and it is precisely because of this that the juniors want to take you as the first choice of partners, so the juniors want to hear the truth from General He Ruo's mouth, instead of saying some clichés to fool the juniors." ”

When Wang Shichong said this, he glanced at Hu Sizheng and laughed: "Hu Si's long history can prove to the younger generation, the younger generation always hopes that the other party will be open and honest before cooperating with others, and show the sincerity of cooperation, rather than covering up their own intentions, cooperation based on lies cannot last, this General He Ruo should be clear." ”

He Ruobi's weed-like thick eyebrows trembled, the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, he stared at Wang Shichong for a long time, but still sighed, and said: "Wang Shichong, you are right, the old man really didn't tell the truth just now, that is also testing you, your general will know that this afternoon also shows your talent in governing politics and judging cases, but the old man still wants to see your adaptability with his own eyes, and the most important courage." ”

"What the old man is doing now is to lose his head, if you just want to pursue a comfortable and mixed life, then you are not a person with the old man, and the old man is impossible to cooperate with such a soft bone, only if you are willing to cut your body and dare to pull the emperor off the horse, such a person is worthy of being on an equal footing with me He Ruobi, Wang Shichong, are you such a person?" (To be continued......)
