Chapter 32 Discussing a Deal with Mu Jianci
Jieyue Building, one of the most upscale restaurants in Youzhou, originally belonged to the property of the Fang Gang, and was taken over by the Longmen Dart Bureau after the collapse of the Fang Gang. Knowing that the backstage boss Xu Qing was coming, Ji Yusheng, the nominal shopkeeper of Jieyue Building, was overjoyed, he had not been summoned by the boss for several months, thinking that the boss had forgotten him, and he risked his life to be an undercover agent in the Fang Gang and made great achievements.
As soon as Xu Qing met, he gave Ji Yusheng a reassurance, and said: "I haven't summoned you for a long time, and I don't have time to come out to inspect, but I know your every move, you are doing well, it's time to go out with me, you haven't been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and you are not afraid of the storms in the rivers and lakes, right?" ”
Ji Yusheng said happily: "Thank you for your trust!" The subordinates have lived in Youzhou for a long time, and they are very yearning for the outside world, and the chief dart head must be doing big things when he goes out, and his subordinates are willing to serve the chief dart. Looking at the strange Mu Jianci, I wanted to ask where I was going and what to do, but I was afraid of leaking secrets, but I didn't ask after all.
Xu Qing said: "Oh, I forgot to introduce, this is the first beauty in the rivers and lakes 'Moon Fairy', Miss Mu." Miss Mu and I don't know each other. I'm not here today to inspect your work, but I have something to say to Miss Mu that I want to find a quiet place to say, you can arrange it for me immediately, and I'll talk about work next time." Tomorrow morning, you report to the dart bureau, I will rearrange your work, and you will leave the matter here to Cui Meng. ”
Cui Meng has been working as Ji Yusheng's deputy, Xu Qing's relationship with Cui Ling and Yang Min is getting better and better, and the relationship with Cui Zhenhai is getting better and better, Cui Meng's rebellion has been a long time, and he has been doing well recently, for the sake of Cui Ling and Yang Min's score, Xu Qing forgave Cui Meng for the mistakes he had made, and decided to give him a chance to stand alone.
Ji Yusheng is a person in the rivers and lakes, he has heard the name of "Moon Fairy", it is the first time to meet, at first he did not pay attention to Mu Jianci, who re-tied his hair and resumed his men's dress, after listening to Xu Qing's words, he looked at Mu Jianci slightly, and was shocked, but he was single and he didn't dare to be tempted and couldn't be tempted, because he decided that Mu Jianci was the woman of the boss Xu Qing, even if it wasn't now, it would be in the future.
Ji Yusheng responded: "Yes, my subordinates must follow the instructions of the chief dart." "Invite Xu Qing and Mu Jianci to the private room on the sixth floor, and order his subordinates to close the sixth floor to the public, let the best chef in the Yueyue Building cook for Xu Qing, and together with Xu Qing's two bodyguards Nie Hu and Jia Quan, they will stand guard for Xu Qing on the third floor.
Mu Jianci said: "You are the boss here?" The scale of this restaurant is so big! Is this the spoils of your destruction of the Fang Gang? ”
Xu Qing said: "Yes. I hate the fight and killing on the rivers and lakes the most, but sometimes if I don't cause trouble, things will find me. It is impossible for people to live a peaceful life in the rivers and lakes. ”
Mu Jianci said: "I have heard your story, there are many versions. What I'm most curious about is who you mean, who is not afraid of the government or King Yan. And what I am even more curious about is that you killed King Yan's son-in-law and grandson, and forcibly occupied King Yan's eldest daughter, King Yan swallowed his anger and did not mobilize a large army to exterminate you. ”
Xu Qing asked: "I'm also curious, your name is good, but it's strange, why did your father give you such a strange name?" ”
Mu Jianci asked in surprise, "Is my name strange?" I've never heard anyone say, you're the first, why do you think my name is weird? ”
Xu Qingdao said: "The sword is a murder weapon, and it has nothing to do with 'Ci' no matter what!" ”
Mu Jianci said: "My mother said that there is a sword in her hand, and there is mercy in her heart." A sword can kill and it can also save people. ”
Xu Qing suddenly felt that Mu Jianci's name was good, not only good-sounding, but also meaningful, and said solemnly: "Aunt must be a strange woman who is all-round in civil and military affairs, talented and beautiful!" ”
Mu Jianci was noncommittal, and added: "My brother's name is Mu Jiandao, he has a sword in his hand and a way in his heart. I have answered you, and it is time for you to answer me. ”
Xu Qing said: "Since you talk about names, let's start with my name." Do you think there's anything special about my name? ”
Mu Jianci's heart moved, and said: "There is a green character in your name, the blue is too ordinary, could it be that the green in your name is the green of the famous general Wei Qing of the Western Han Dynasty?" ”
Xu Qing said: "You are so smart! You guessed it right, the meaning of my name is to make a promise to become a famous general like Wei Qing, a famous general in the Western Han Dynasty, and a pillar of the country. ”
"Then why don't you go to the army? Can you become a famous player by working hard in the rivers and lakes? Mu Jianci said incomprehensibly.
"You're right, I'm preparing, there are some things that need to be kept secret for the time being, and I'll tell you when we're acquainted. I'm here to discuss something with you. ”
"What's the matter? Please speak. ”
"Dong Bijun, I have to marry, can you give her to me?"
"Why?"
"This also needs to be kept secret."
"You don't have a proper reason, I can't give it to you."
"Then can I exchange it with you for a thousand taels of gold? You give me Dong Bijun, and I will give you a thousand taels of gold. ”
"No, you can't. I'm not going to trade it with you. Everyone in the world knows that I participated in Dong Bijun's recruitment conference on behalf of my brother, and married Dong Bijun for my brother, you let me give Dong Bijun to you, where do you put my Mu Jianci's face? Where is my brother's face? Where is the face of my Lost Palace? ”
"Two thousand taels?"
Mu Jianci was silent.
"Five thousand taels?"
Mu Jianci still didn't say anything.
"Ten thousand taels?" Xu Qing said distressedly, he has some spare money in his hand, but if he wants to do big things in the future, there are many places to use money, and he can't spend it casually.
"Why are you willing to pay 10,000 taels of gold for a woman? Are you crazy? Mu Jianci said in surprise.
"I have a reason not to say it, I have to do this, and no one can stop it!" Xu Qing's attitude was very resolute, and he looked very sure, as if he would definitely be able to do this.
Mu Jianci couldn't help but have a thousand and ten thousand question marks in her heart, but Xu Qing refused to tell the reason, and she couldn't guess blindly.
The conversation between the two broke up unhappily.
The next morning, Xu Qing met with Ji Yusheng who came to report in the office, and told Ji Yusheng that he would go to Chang'an to create a branch of the Longmen Dart Bureau and open a branch of Xianghe Qianzhuang. Ji Yusheng will accompany Zhao Tuozhi, Nie Hu, Jia Quan, and Zhao Mengchen as Xu Qing's personal bodyguards, Zhao Mengchen's mother and master, Liu Sisi, Zhao Chunhua, Zhao Qiuyue, Qing'er (Xia Xiaoyu, the court spy who surrendered Xu Qing, whose identity is kept secret both internally and externally), Xiaomei (Mei'er, the court spy who surrendered Xu Qing, one of Yang Ziyan's four maidservants, whose identity is kept secret both internally and externally), will accompany Wang Meihui as her personal bodyguard.
On the surface, the boss of Xianghe Qianzhuang has not changed, and he is still Wang Jun, the father of Wang Meihui, in fact, because Xu Qing is kind to Wang's father and daughter, and Wang Meihui is in a relationship, Wang Meihui wants to marry Xu Qing in order to repay Xu Qing, and he doesn't mind Xu Qing's amorous affection, Xu Qing has secretly acquired Xianghe Qianzhuang at a very low price, and Xu Qing is the real boss of Xianghe Qianzhuang.
The team of the Chang'an Branch of the Longmen Dart Bureau and the team of the Chang'an Branch of Xianghe Qianzhuang each had about 300 people, and they would set off on the front and back feet, keeping a distance of five miles, so that they could support each other in case of danger. Yu Junsheng, the former seventh master of the Heifengling Cottage, had rushed to Chang'an three months in advance, set up intelligence stations in Chang'an and Luoyang, trained carrier pigeons, and purchased land and houses for the establishment of the Chang'an Branch of the Longmen Dart Bureau and the Chang'an Branch of Xianghe Qianzhuang. With the flying pigeon to pass the book, Xu Qing will be able to grasp the major events that happened in Xijing, Chang'an and Luoyang, the eastern capital, in time. The matter that Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were looking for the crown princess for the crown prince Li Hong was not made public, but only quietly between the high-ranking generals and officials of the imperial court who had a beautiful daughter who had not yet left the cabinet, and Xu Qing's intelligence forces in Chang'an and Luoyang had not yet penetrated into the high-level of the imperial court, so there was no way to find out this information, and this information was still obtained from Dong Xijun's mouth. After this incident, Xu Qing felt that it was necessary to strengthen the intelligence forces of Chang'an and Luoyang, so he brought two professional beautiful spies with him.
Although Xu Qing already regarded Ji Yusheng as a confidant, there were some things that needed to be kept highly secret, such as the Heifengling Cottage, the Yanshan Base, the New Army, the remnants of the old Sui Army, and several imperial court spies who had been subdued, and the establishment of intelligence stations in Chang'an and Luoyang.
While the two were discussing the details of their work, the guards came in to report to the "Lord of the Closed Moon" and asked to see them.
Li Mingyue was in a hurry, only brought two guards, and came on horseback, usually because of her noble status, it was not suitable for her to show her head in public, and she always took a carriage when she went out.
Li Mingyue was worried, seeing Xu Qing was like seeing a savior, she didn't care about drinking the tea handed over by Xu Qing's maidservant, and said, "Master, my mother is poisoned and in danger!" I believe you must have a way, so please hurry up and take a look. ”
Xu Qing said to Ji Yusheng: "I will go to Yanwang's Mansion with the county lord, and you will accompany Zhao Tuozhi, Nie Hu, and Jia Quan, from today onwards, you will be my guard." ”
"Yes, Mr. Xie, my subordinates will follow the instructions of Mr. Dart."
Soon, the horses were ready, Xu Qing and the four master guards, Li Mingyue and two guards rode eight fast horses, galloping on the bustling roads of Youzhou. The guards and guards shouted loudly to let the people get out of the way, in fact, they didn't need to shout, the people couldn't tell the situation, and dared to gallop on the main roads of the city in broad daylight, they must be people with great backgrounds, they couldn't afford to offend, even if they could afford to offend, it was not good to be hit by a horse or be injured.
