It was getting late, Chen Xiu, Chen Gong and Xu Chu returned to the inn together, Chen Xiu and Chen Gong sat on the table in front of the windowsill, making tea, looking at the sky that was getting dark, the moon slowly stretched out its head, and the bright moonlight fell on every street in Shouchun City.

The bright moonlight spilled into the house, and the candles in the house looked a little useless under the moonlight, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the candlelight in the house swayed, and the beaded curtain hanging at the head of the bed also swayed gently with the wind.

Chen Gong's temples rose with the wind, and the eyes that gradually looked at Chen Xiu became sharp, and he looked at the young man he had worked with for many years, as if he wanted to think of him again.

"Jingzhi, aren't you going to say something?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiu raised his hand, took a sip of fragrant tea, and at this time sat in front of the window under the moon, drinking pleasant tea, it was the most appropriate, he glanced down at Chen Gong for a moment, and said with a slight smile: "Isn't the public platform that should know already known." ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he laughed a little angrily: "Heh, what you mean by this shouldn't be known, I still can't know." ”

"Gongtai, look at what you said, since you want to listen, I will tell you 1510, Zhongkang go out."

Chen Gong was angry, Chen Xiu heard it, and had no choice but to tell the truth, and when Xu Chu stood at the door, Chen Xiu told him how he planned to tell him, Chen Gong listened, smacked his lips, and had nothing to say, if he was replaced, he did not tell his companions his thoughts in a short period of time, he could only see one step at a time, and what results could be achieved in the end, which could only depend on the will of God.

After a long time, looking down at the bright moon reflected in the teacup in his hand, Chen Gong's thoughts flew in his mind, and finally asked in a deep voice: "After today's incident, Yuan Highway is already planning to take a step back, Yang Hong and the others are a group of old foxes, and it is difficult to bite off a piece of meat from his mouth!" ”

"Difficult? It's not hard! ”

Hearing this, Chen Xiu put down the teacup in his hand, and a confident smile appeared on his handsome face.

"Oh, the plan of respect will be set up?"

"There is no need for a strategy, it is nothing more than a set commonly used by traders and peddlers."

Chen Gong didn't interrupt Chen Xiu's words, and let people continue to talk about it, to be honest, he was really not very familiar with the way of merchants and peddlers.

"Without him, we just need to ask for a price, and all they have to do is to sit on the ground and pay back, but our price must reach their bottom line, so that we can get the greatest benefit."

"Good!"

If this trip can scrape a layer of oil from Yuan Shu's body, it is already the biggest gain, as for how much oil can be scraped, it depends on the ability of Chen Xiu and Chen Gong, and it depends on whether they have an accurate grasp of Yuan Shu's bottom line.

Therefore, the sky-high asking price does not mean a mouthful of aimless asking price, such an asking price will only make people prohibitive, how to carry out the next step of negotiation, how to let the other party sit on the ground and repay the money.

The sky-high asking price should make the other party have a tasteless food, but it is a pity to abandon it, at that time, will definitely open the mouth to bargain, only need to go down the slope of the donkey, with the strength of the force, you can get the best results, of course, if you really don't want to make a deal with this person, the sky-high asking price into a lion big mouth is not impossible.

All night, Chen Xiu and Chen Gong talked all night, Xu Chu stood guard outside the door for a night, outside the inn, some people who wanted to do bad things saw Xu Chu standing outside the door, and they all restrained their careful thoughts in their hearts.

On the second day, as soon as the morning dawned, Chen Gong and Chen Xiu got up early as before, moved a little, and after breakfast, there were already people waiting for Chen Xiu and the other three outside the door.

The person who came was a person sent by Yuan Shu, in order to call Chen Xiu and Chen Gong to the official residence and settle the matter, but this time, Chen Xiu did not let Xu Chu go with him, but let Xu Chu stay in the inn and wait for the news.

On the way to Shouchun's official residence, Chen Xiu's face was a little gloomy, and there were three points of reluctance, six points of helplessness, and the last point of disdain in his expression, all of which were seen by the people who led the way and secretly remembered in their hearts.

Finally came to the official residence, after some briefing, a person from the official residence took the two of them into the official residence, and Yuan Shu, who was waiting for Chen Xiu and Chen Gong in the council hall, smiled when he saw the two of them.

As soon as he entered the conference hall, Chen Xiu found that only Yang Hong, Yan Xiang, Yuan Shu and Yuan Shu's nephew Yuan Yin were sitting in the hall in the entire conference hall, and the rest of the people were not in this conference hall.

Seeing this, Chen Xiu knew Yuan Shu's intentions, Yuan Shu still wanted to save face as before, and let these three stay here because Yuan Shu trusted them very much, and didn't think that they would spread this thing that he thought would insult his prestige.

Moreover, Yuan Shu also has a deeper level of consideration, as Chen Xiu said at the beginning, Huainan is a huge place, but a group of fat rats have come out, eating his blood and gnawing his meat, if the current Huainan is inseparable from these guys, Yuan Shu really wants to raise the butcher's knife and cut down all these people.

After the two of them sat down, Yuan Shu glanced at Yang Hong, Yang Hong understood and smiled: "Respect, Gongtai, Ming people don't say secret words, if you have any requirements, you can put them forward, but Huainan is not having a good time at the moment."

Hearing this, Chen Xiu's head shook like a rattle, and he directly vetoed: "Yang Gong, you are a senior, as a latecomer, I dare not disrespect you Xiu, but Huainan ministers, there are not many people who can reassure me, it is normal for the good and the bad to be uneven, just like Yanzhou, the same, but Huainan is serious."

In Xiu's view, not forming an alliance with Huainan is the result of the top, but since General Highway insists on forming an alliance, then Xiu has a lot to think about for Meng Degong. ”

Hearing this, Yang Hong agreed, anyway, he had already offended Huainan's colleagues, he was not afraid of anything, Chen Xiu was also telling the truth, if he was replaced, it was estimated that he would have to turn around and leave.

However, at this time, neither Yuan Shu nor Yang Hong spoke, so they were silent, waiting for Chen Xiu's opening, waiting for Chen Xiu's conditions, and even Chen Gong was ready to see how Chen Xiu was asking for a price.

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely silent, and he fell into deep thought, lowered his head, touched his chin, and then suddenly raised his head, looked at Yuan Shu and said with a smile: "200,000 grain and grass, 5,000 soldiers!" (To be continued.) )
