"Lord Wu, please." A man in black walked in, Wu Xiang knew that it was Chen Xin's subordinate, and he didn't look carefully, but after a while, he felt that the voice was a little familiar, and when he looked up, he laughed and said: "It turned out to be Little Brother Zhang, hasn't he always been in Beijing, how can he be willing to go back to Denglai." ”

Zhang Dahui bowed down with a smile and said: "Someone doesn't want me to stay in Jingshi, so I have no choice but to return to Denglai, and now I am an adjutant next to Lord Chen." ”

Wu Xiang happily took Zhang Dahui's hand, Wu Xiang acted as an agent of Liaozhen, often going back and forth to Beijing, and the two had met many times in Beijing.

Zhang Dahui had just returned to Denglai, and Chen Xin arranged him to be the deputy chief officer in the attendant room, temporarily responsible for the compilation of the intelligence line. Zhang Dahui has been training in Beijing for several years and has a very strong ability, but Chen Xin is easier to arrange, and the new organization he is going to set up is very suitable for Zhang Dahui.

Yang Yunnong, who accompanied him, knew the origin of Zhang General Assembly, and flattered him beside him: "It turns out that Lord Wu knows the General Assembly, the General Assembly is a capable person, and there is a shortage of people in the Foreign Affairs Department, so it happens that the General Assembly is there, so I asked Lord Chen for someone, and I told Lord Chen that as long as the General Assembly is willing to come, I will let this deputy director out, and guess what Lord Chen said." ”

Wu Xiang hurriedly shook his head, and Yang Yunnong clapped his hands and said in annoyance: "Lord Chen said that the ability of the conference is more than one deputy director, and he has another great use, you say this, I can only watch." ”

Zhang Dahui smiled and said to Yang Yunnong: "Lord Yang's mouth, you can hook up with ten women from good families when you go out, and now you can't put it down in this family, and you can put more of them in the younger brother's house in the future." ”

Wu Xiang and the others laughed and walked to Chen Xin's main hall together. Wu Xiang has been here several times, and it is not easy to see Chen Xin every time, usually Song Wenxian and Yang Yunnong receive him, and Chen Xin often has to dry him for a few days. Waiting for three days this time is already considered fast.

Chen Xin personally greeted him at the door of the main hall, and recently Song Wenxian went to various places in Shandong to carry out activities in order to win over Shandong officialdom, and this kind of foreign affairs activities often require Chen Xin to participate in person, and Wu Xiang came on behalf of Liaozhen, Chen Xin naturally had to take it seriously.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Chen!" Wu Xiang immediately knelt down when he saw Chen Xin.

Wu Xiang is still an old school, and he considers himself a subordinate in front of Chen Xin at any time, although they are all general soldiers, Wu Xiang is the governor of the Left Army. is half a level lower than Chen Xin, and Chen Xin also has the title of Prince Taibao, so it makes sense for Wu Xiang to do this.

Chen Xin's eyes made Yang Yunnong help Wu Xiang up, and invited Wu Xiang to sit affectionately, Chen Xin sat down and found that Wu Xiang also brought a person and was standing behind Wu Xiang.

Wu Xiang saw that Chen Xin was looking behind him. Immediately stood up and said: "Lord Chen, this is the dog Sangui, who is also in the army now, the lower official said that he would not bring him with him, but he admired the adult, so he had to come over to meet him, and please don't be surprised." ”

"Welcome." Chen Xin smiled and nodded, while looking at Wu Sangui, sure enough, as recorded, he was fair-skinned and at least the marquis. Wu Xiang is a handsome guy, and his family is powerful, so the wives he is looking for are naturally not different, and his genes are very good. Wu Sangui has a handsome face, fair skin, and a medium figure that is quite tall, and it can be seen that he has practiced martial arts between his movements. The eyes are blazing, and they seem to be very energetic, and the only flaw is that there is a scar on the bridge of the nose, high on the right and low on the left, probably slashed by someone, but the scar is not deep.

Chen Xin has seen a lot of celebrities anyway, many people have been cheated by him, and even Huang Taiji has been beaten to the ground, so now Chen Xin looks at Wu Sangui, who is Wu Xiang's son. I won't think of him as the king of Pingxi. However, after dealing with Wu Xiang, he still felt that Wu Xiang was lucky, although this son later became a traitor, he was still good in ability, at least much more reliable than him, a businessman.

"Sure enough, it's Jiangmen Huzi, Lord Wu is so blessed."

Wu Xiang said modestly: "My lord praises falsely. Gui'er didn't thank the adults yet. ”

Wu Sangui bowed and saluted, "Thank you, Lord Chen." In fact, he is also looking at Chen Xin, there are many stories about this person, there are countless versions in the north, and many of them are quite bizarre, such as Chen Xin escaped from Liaodong after killing more than ten white-armored soldiers, Wu Sangui just didn't believe it, no one had anything to do and sent more than ten white-armored soldiers to guard the prisoners, it was all done by Baoyi and Yu Ding.

After Chen Xin nodded, he also invited Wu Sangui to sit next to Wu Xiang's head, opposite them were Zhang Dali and Yang Yunnong, and there were a few guard soldiers in military uniforms in the room.

After Chen Xin sat down, he said to Wu Xiang: "Lord Wu often goes back and forth to Denglai, and he is not an outsider, and the official does not go around in circles with you. ”

Chen Xin's tone was calm, but there was a kind of majesty in it, Wu Xiang nodded again and again, Wu Sangui has been paying attention to Chen Xin, he himself is a teenager who became famous, he is quite conceited on weekdays, and he rarely serves anyone, looking at Chen Xin's image is tall and mighty, and it can be regarded as dignified, and there is a natural taste between his words, which is also the norm of the superiors.

"This official knows that Lord Wu has always been in business, and our trading company has also cooperated many times, and you know the way of the Four Seas Trading Company very well. The official said to Lord Wu directly, no matter who is in Liaozhong, Ningjin will not stay for a long time, Liaozhen has soldiers in hand, but the least of the few, the other border armies of the imperial court combined, are also stronger than Liaozhen, if the official is based in Liaozhong, there are two options, one is that Liaozhen can change the place, Dengzhou can be exchanged with the elements of the trading company, and second, if Liaozhen is still in Liaoxi, but does not participate in the affairs between the imperial court and Dengzhou Town, no matter what, this official can protect the lives and property of the generals of Liaozhen. ”

"Lord Chen is quick to talk." Wu Xiang asked calmly, "Is the exchange of shares for the members of the Four Seas Trading Company?" ”

Chen Xin nodded, "The meaning of the Four Seas Trading Company is to accept all rivers, not the official eats it alone, the world is so big, the silver cannot be earned." ”

Wu Xiang lowered his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Then how can the adults guarantee our net worth and property?" ”

Chen Xin smiled slightly, "It's still the same sentence, the world is so big, and there are so many people who look at the official and swallow your silver taels, which is not much benefit to the official. ”

Wu Xiang hurriedly opened his mouth to defend himself, Chen Xin waved his hand and said: "This matter of private property, the official can promise to Lord Wu, but now the shape of the official, Lord Wu also understands that this matter cannot be said publicly, and when the time is right, the official will say it publicly, and the whole world can testify at that time." ”

"The lower official can trust the adult, but the lower official is also a little curious, how can the adult say it publicly?"

"Dengzhou has a military newspaper that can be published, not only Lord Wu, Dengzhou Town protects the personal and legal property of all the people under Dengzhou's rule, what the official promises, not only Dengzhou Town will not rob property, but personal property is inviolable, this is one of the fundamentals of Dengzhou Town, can this official lose faith in all the people of Denglai?"

Wu Sangui turned his head slightly to look at Wu Xiang, for the officials and gentry at this time, power is a good thing, but once the power is lost, the court may directly raid the house, and no matter how much silver is earned in vain, that kind of raiding can no matter what legitimate income you have, it is a clean copy.

The more Wu Sangui thought about it, the more he felt that Chen Xin's proposal was interesting, and in addition Denglai had a loud military might, security could be guaranteed, and once this promise was really put on the military newspaper and circulated in various places, many gentry and funds who escaped from all over the country would flow to Denglai.

Chen Xin knew Wu Xiang's intention, the two sides had communicated many times, and they knew the details of each other, if Chen Xin gave very generous conditions, Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou would probably doubt his sincerity in keeping his promise, Chen Xin paused and continued: "This official is to build a Liao town to change places, and the soldiers and horses can be taken away." Liaoxi is a place where all families must fight, and staying there is not beneficial to Zu Shuai, as for the place to change, Zu Shuai can choose. If Liaozhen has a better way, it can also be said and we will discuss, and things will be discussed. ”

Wu Xiang stood up and bowed to Chen Xin and said: "When I came, Zu Shuai said that as long as the net worth can be preserved, the matter of soldiers and horses can be discussed, since Lord Chen said two strategies, the lower officials still need to go back to Ningyuan to discuss with Zu Shuai, and the adults know that there are other generals in Liao Town, and they need to be said one by one." ”

Chen Xin smiled and nodded, Liaozhen will definitely wait until the decisive battle in Liaozhong is divided before making the final bet, but since he has the intention of taking refuge, he will never directly assist Jiannu at this time.

Chen Xin's purpose was not to absorb Liaozhen immediately, but to stabilize Liaozhen's mind first, and eliminate an uncertain factor for the decisive battle in Liaozhong.

Chen Xin also stood up and said: "Since Lord Wu is here, you can stay in Dengzhou for a little longer, you are here to involve a lot of matters, Liaoxi and Dengzhou are far apart, Lord Wu can discuss the details clearly with Director Yang and the General Assembly in Dengzhou, so as not to waste time." ”

Wu Xiang agreed, Chen Xin was about to leave after saying the main thing, Wu Xiang suddenly said: "Lord Chen, the lower official heard that there is a kind of observer in Dengzhou, the dog is keen on the military, and he has always admired the adult. ”

Chen Xin smiled and looked at Wu Sangui behind him, Wu Xiang asked him to enter the Dengzhou army to check, perhaps to leave a way back for himself, firstly, it was equivalent to giving him a hostage, and secondly, even if Zu Dashou and Chen Xin had a stalemate, Wu Xiang could also have a way to talk to Dengzhou.

"Since General Wu speaks, of course, there is no need, but there are rules for being an observer, you must follow the orders of the accompanying officer, if Wu Gongzi can do it, please wait a few days for Wu Gongzi, and someone will arrange it."

Wu Sangui bowed his hand forcefully and said: "The lower officials can do it, please arrange it." ”

Chen Xin laughed and said goodbye, Yang Yunnong said to Wu Xiang: "Lord Wu, let's go to dinner first, and we can start talking in the afternoon, there are many matters involved, we have to come up with multiple strategies, so that Chen Shuai and Zu Shuai can choose." ”

Wu Xiang hurriedly said: "We can also talk about ...... now."

Yang Yunnong smiled and said, "There is still an adult here who has not arrived, and he can only come over in the afternoon." ”

"But Mr. Song?"

"No, it's Lord Wang Ting, the governor of Denglai, and Lord Wang will talk to Lord Wu in detail with him."

Hearing Wang Tingqian's name, Wu Xiang's father and son opened their mouths wide at the same time.
