Chapter 414: Reception

Gu Chang'an, at the beginning of the night. How many rises and falls have been passed down in history.

When Xu Ji came out of the mansion, God was also poetically dyed with a long snowstorm. Seeing this scene, Xu Ji couldn't help but mutter.

However, in fact, Xu Ji's mood was not good, and for a whole afternoon, Xu Wei and Yu Ban kept sending back information to themselves, saying that they had not found anything wrong with Wang Zifu and the Eighth Captain of Xiyuan. And I haven't heard of anyone in the eight schools of the West Park who has such skills.

In this way, Xu Ji knew that there was another mystery in this matter. Huan Fan didn't come back in the afternoon, Xu Ji sent someone to look for it, but he couldn't wait, looked at the time, and knew that the time to entertain Zhang Shiping and Su Shuang was approaching, so he could only temporarily put aside Ding Fei's matter and leave the house with a heavy heart.

Just stepped on the horse, and saw Huan Fan riding on the horse and hurried back, Xu Ji asked Huan Fan to go to the banquet with him, and talk about it on the way.

Listening to the creaking sound of the horse stepping on the snow, Huan Fan let out a cool breath and said to Xu Ji: "Lord, what happened?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Ji said to Huan Fan: "Let's not talk about what happened for the time being, let's talk about Yang Song's affairs first." ”

Huan Fan knew that Xu Ji must be in a hurry, so he made a long story short: "Yang Song's progress is very fast, and I have also talked about doing business with Yang Song, Yang Song has already expressed his willingness to do business with us on behalf of the Yang family in Hanzhong, as for Zhang Lu, he will go to deal with it." ”

After a pause, Huan Fan asked again: "Lord, what is the matter with you in a hurry to find me back?" Xu Ji told Ding Feidi about it. After hearing this, Huan Fan said solemnly: "Yuan Ze also thinks that what the lord thinks is very reasonable, and this matter does seem to have another mystery. ”

Xu Ji sighed a little annoyed when he heard this, and said, "That's right. But the crux of the problem is that I really can't think of where the breakthrough in Ding Fei is. ”

Huan Fan touched his chin that had just begun to grow his beard, and said thoughtfully: "Lord." Why don't we think about it from another angle, we know how capable Wang Zifu and others are. Just looking at Ding Fei was arrested. They were assassinated immediately, and I don't think this matter has anything to do with the prince obeying them. Human life is at stake, and they don't have that power just because the prince is in the party, so I think there are two possibilities. After a pause, Heng Fan said in a deep voice: "One possibility is that we are thinking about things too complicated, the person who killed Ding Fei was a person under General Zhang Xiu, and the lord said that the family members of the Crepe clan are all professional soldiers. I think General Zhang Xiu is fighting outside, how can he rest assured that the Crepe Clan is in Chang'an? and could not be entrusted to the lord. If it is handed over to others, it is not safe, so it is certain to send someone to protect it secretly. And Zhang Xiu is ruthless. Ding Fei offended the crepe family like this, and must have committed Zhang Xiu's taboo, so he was poisoned. Xu Ji slowly turned around, and then frowned and said, "Although it makes sense." But if others think so, it's okay, it's because they don't know the relationship between us and Zhang Xiu, and now the matter is clear, let alone Ding Fei, even if anyone is killed, it will be very unfavorable to the situation in Chang'an. Wen He is a thoughtful person, he must know my temperament very well, so how could he let Zhang Xiu do such a thing? ”

Heng Fan nodded. Cai said: "What the lord said makes sense, and if this thing is done by Zhang Xiu." The other people should have already told the lord about this matter by now. Xu Ji smiled bitterly: "And where did Zhang Xiujun come from such a master?" Now there are only three super-first-class masters on the front line in Hanzhong: Zhang Xiu, Zhang Liao, and Dian Wei. If there is such a figure in Zhang Xiu's army, I am afraid that Zhang Xiu has already been promoted to general. ”

Huan Fan said coldly: "Then there is only the second possibility, this Ding Fei is a spy sent to Chang'an by foreign princes, and this person himself is a two-headed snake." On the one hand, he is a confidant of a certain prince, and on the other hand, he pretends to take refuge in Wang Zifu and others. One thing is certain, though. This man must have had intentions against the Lord. Xu Ji's heart suddenly brightened when he heard this, and he immediately said in distress: "Although Yuan Ze's words have solved my doubts, they are still useless in the overall situation. We still have no clues about Ding Fei's involvement, so there is no way to know who Ding Fei is. ”

Huan Fan sneered: "The lord might as well take the opportunity to investigate this Ding Fei's details to see where he is from, when he came to Chang'an, and when he joined the prince's suit, maybe we will have an unexpected gain." ”

Xu Ji immediately understood what Huan Fan meant, and said with a smile: "It makes sense, your kid's style of doing things is quite filial piety." In time, it must also be the pillar of my Yanzhou! Huan Fan said indifferently: "The lord praised it." However, the lord should pay attention, since this potential enemy has such a powerful skill, we must be careful when we enter and exit in Chang'an, in case there is an accident, it will be more than worth the loss. ”

Xu Ji's whole back was cold when Huan Fan said: he didn't care much about it, he had a shadow around him and his skills were first-class, but if Xun Yu and others had a mistake, then they would regret it.

Speaking of Xun Yu, although Xu Ji was still suspicious, he was still worried about his best friend.

Just when Xu Ji was distracted, Huan Fan said in a deep voice: "Not only us, I think Miss Cai Yan also needs to be protected, who knows what this enemy will do after discovering that Miss Cai Yan is obedient to the Lord's words?" If Miss Cai Yan is robbed away, the lord is afraid that he will regret it. ”

Xu Ji's face changed drastically, obviously shocked by what Huan Fan expected.

Although in the ice and snow, Xu Ji was still sweating all over his body. Hurriedly called a phantom and asked him to immediately strengthen the defense of everyone in Chang'an. While talking, the two of them had already come to the "Jade Pavilion".

Although it is in winter, sometimes at night, but the "Jade Pavilion" is still brightly lit, as bright as day, although people have not yet entered, melodious music has been introduced to the ears of Xu Ji and Huan Fan.

In this country of incense, Xu Ji and Huan Fan were immediately infected.

Xu Ji smiled at Huan Fan and said, "It's really the first time I've come to this kind of Fengyue place." Huan Fan was a knowledgeable old horse and said: "Although it is the first time I have come to the Jade Pavilion, but when I was sent to Qingzhou by Mr. Fengxiao before, I dealt with those witches and goddesses all day long. The left and right are just those rules, and the lord is free to do it. ”

Xu Ji scolded with a smile: "I'm not a hairy boy who is in love for the first time. How can you have stage fright? ”

Huan Fan laughed in a low voice: "How can the house flowers have the fragrance of wild flowers? And here is a hundred flowers competing for beauty, and I am used to eating common meals. It's also good to come out and try something new. Xu Ji was stunned when he heard this. The pointer laughed and scolded Huan Fan: "I didn't expect you and Wen Feng to be the same dog, both perverts." ”

Huan Fan shook his head and said: "If you are still emphasizing that you are a gentleman here, it will be a bit hypocritical." Later, if the lord doesn't let go of his hands and feet, how can those guests be embarrassed to be so happy? ”

Although it was a joke, he nodded silently to Xu Ji. As soon as the two of them entered the gate of the Jade Pavilion, a smoky woman came up with a smile like a flower, gently and considerately removing their coats for the two of them. Greeted the two softly.

Although Xu Ji is now commonplace, he has always lived a simple life, and he tried to be simple when he was in Yanzhou, because this matter had to be talked about many times by Yining. So naturally, there has never been such treatment. Therefore, I feel a little flattered, but Huan Fan looks calm. Obviously, I'm used to enjoying this kind of life, although it's the first time I've come to the Jade Pavilion. Now I look like a regular visitor.

Xu Ji took the opportunity to observe the environment at this moment, and immediately found that there were many dignitaries in this hall. It was a lot of fun. Such sanctimonious fellows have now all changed their faces to indulge in lust, and even their laughter carries a hoarse beastly desire, each holding the beauty up and down their hands, and fulfilling their sibling desires. From time to time, there are women who let out low coquettish voices, and there is even a sound similar to moaning.

This is probably the so-called living color in later generations.

Xu Ji didn't come in for long. In the lobby on the first floor, the voices of the people gradually fell into silence as they ate and drank merrily. At the same time, someone whispered. Faintly said Xu Ji's name. Obviously, there are quite a few people who have already recognized Xu Ji.

In the spotlight on such an occasion, Xu Ji was of course a little embarrassed. After all, in addition to Sikong's status, he is also the husband of Princess Dahan, although it is said that the scribe is romantic. But it's a bit inappropriate to go in and out of such a place.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman walked down from the second floor, looking at the people with unnatural facial expressions. I don't understand why these people are so different.

It wasn't until I saw Xu Ji and Huan Fan standing at the door that I guessed a rough idea. I knew that the visitor in front of me must be a big man. Otherwise, how can there be such a deterrent effect? Hurriedly greeted him with the most charming smile, and bowed down to Xu Ji and Huan Fan Yingying like a light cloud covering the moon: "Slave red sleeves." I've seen two distinguished guests. ”

Huan Fan raised his eyebrows and said indifferently: "If you don't mind, Xiaosheng will call you a good aunt, how about it?" ”

Hearing this, the red sleeves hurriedly smiled and said: "This son is too polite, and it is really a blessing for the slave family to be so valued by the son." After that, he stepped forward and stood in the middle of Xu Ji of Huan Fan, stepped on the arms of the two of them with his left and right arms, and without avoiding suspicion, he pressed the pair of plump and ripe fruits on his chest tightly, and asked the names of the two with a smile. Xu Ji enjoyed the treatment that made all men happy, and the trace of unnaturalness disappeared completely, and said with a smile: "Under Xu Ji's ......"

As soon as these words came out, Red Sleeves' face changed greatly, although she had already thought about the person in front of her very well, but she didn't expect that this person was actually the most powerful person in Chang'an City today, of course she was surprised. Although he had already learned the news that Xu Ji was coming, when Xu Ji suddenly appeared in front of him, Red Sleeves couldn't suppress his shock. Miracles always come quietly every now and then.

Red Sleeves's breathing became rapid, causing her pair of absolutely real huge jade breasts to tremble violently a few times, which made Xu Ji and Huan Fan enjoy it very much.

Xu Ji said indifferently: "Aunt Hong, you don't have to care, we are here to find someone, feel free to do so." Red Sleeves is finally a veteran in the Fengyue scene, but after a little stagnation, he returned to normal, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "The slave family really has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and there are many offenses between words, and they really should be punished." ”

Heng Fan laughed on the side: "Aunt Hong said lightly, how do you compensate to satisfy Lord Sikong?" Is it possible to make a personal promise to compensate yourself to Lord Sikong? If that's the case, Sikong-sama might as well think about it. A burst of red tide appeared on the red sleeves' face, and she made a shy voice in protest, but the hand holding Xu Ji's arm with one hand was pulled tighter, although she didn't say it, this action undoubtedly showed that she was willing in her heart.

Sharing a bed with such a big man can be regarded as an honor to be a kabuki.

But Xu Ji won't come nonsense. Not to mention that there is a Cai Yan looking at him in Chang'an, as long as he thinks of the original wife in his family. Xu Ji's little nostalgia for the moon will dissipate without a trace. After a while, Xu Ji and Huan Fan disappeared with Red Sleeves on the stairs on the second floor.

The hall was restored to the hustle and bustle of the past.

Led by the Red Sleeves. Xu Ji and Huan Fan Shi Ran came to a private room. Redsleeves opened the room attentively, and a noisy smell of wine came to his face.

Xu Ji and Huan Fan walked in. On the opposite table, there are naturally delicacies from the mountains and seas, and behind the delicious delicacies, several people are talking and laughing, of course, holding a stunning beauty in their arms, and they are feasting at this time.

As soon as Xu Ji and Huan Fan entered the house, everyone looked at each other, and immediately stood up one by one and bowed their hands to Xu Ji.

Zhang Hong hurriedly snatched it out from behind the banquet. Standing between Xu Ji and everyone, he introduced Xu Ji. Xu Ji looked at them one by one. looked at Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping carefully.

Maybe life is too superior, so Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are quite obese. The fat on the ground is thrilling, if the gold belt around their waists is robbed. It must be as tall as theirs.

The two are black and white, and their facial features are absolutely different, but they definitely have nothing to do with being handsome, but Zhang Shiping is better, although he is also like Su Shuang. A nose is sunken deep in the cheeks, but the nose is bigger. It will not be out of balance. But no one would underestimate them.

These are two wealthy businessmen, who can assemble an army of several hundred people for Liu Bei with a little money at will that day, and as soon as they make a move, they will be thousands of catties of good iron. Compared with Zhang Fei, who claimed to be a wealthy businessman, but turned out to be bankrupt. That's just a no-brainer.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree. Just look at the knife-like edge that emanates from the small and thin eyes of these two people, and you can know that under the prestige. There will be no vanity.

Xu Ji greeted the two affectionately, and then everyone sat down. Xu Jixian raised a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Two gentlemen." I have long wanted to get together with the two of you, but I am entangled in trivial matters, and I didn't have the opportunity to drink with the two of you until today, which is really a sin, and I Xu Ji punished myself with a glass! ”

Drink it all down.

The crowd applauded. Su Shuang said in a hoarse voice: "Lord Sikong, good drinking!" I have long heard that Sikong has a large number of people, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation! ”

Zhang Shiping said: "That day, Lord Sikong moved to a new house, and Brother Su and I went to visit, but there were too many people around Lord Sikong, and the two of us didn't go over. ”

This Zhang Shiping's witty words are like pearls, and everyone who said it is hilarious. Su Shuang couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Zhang said that if Lord Sikong still has our brother in his heart, he will definitely come to the door in his spare time, so why rush for a while." Sure enough, she said that Sikong is really a good friend of ours. ”

Xu Ji poured himself full of wine and said with a smile: "Although it is the first time to drink with the two, but the two gentlemen have said that they feel like confidants, come, I will toast the two of you again!" ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank happily. Xu Ji was happy to see these two people giving face like this, but he also knew that it was inevitable for the two of them to show favor to themselves.

But how to say it, most of the business of these two people is in Youzhou, and if they want their business to flourish in the future, it is indispensable for Xu Ji's care.

Therefore, Xu Ji invited them to dinner, and it was too late for them to rejoice, if they pretended to be with Xu Ji again, then they would not know what to do. After drinking it all, Su Shuang smiled and said: "It stands to reason that we are a bit dependent on the old and selling the old, since the commander thinks about us and wants us to come to Chang'an, of course he treats us as the number one person, and now he wants Lord Sikong to punish himself with a cup, which is really a bit of a shame." ”

Xu Ji smiled: "The two gentlemen don't mind, speaking of which, I, Xu Ji, am also a businessman, if we businessmen are not sloppy, how can we make money?"

As soon as Xu Ji's words came out, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping laughed, feeling that their relationship with Xu Ji was closer again, and they didn't know if this was called smelly and similar. Zhang Shiping looked at Zhang Hu, who was laughing on the side, shook his head and sighed: "We have been dating this kid Zhang Hu for so long, but we didn't know that Lord Sikong was such a person, how could the two of us hesitate if we knew this?" I'm afraid that at this time, I don't know how many times I have eaten at the Sikong Lord's Mansion. ”

The crowd burst into laughter again. Xu Ji felt that he was much closer to the two of them, so he made it clear in words: "The two gentlemen, don't blame my subordinates, where does he dare to say my right and wrong, otherwise Zou Ji would have known that he was not as beautiful as Xu Gong." If you want to know the taste of pears, you always have to taste them yourself, and you don't know what others need, but you just take it for granted, which is a big taboo for us as businessmen. ”

Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping were stunned when they heard this, and they were both attracted by Xu Ji's words. You must know that Xu Ji is expounding the concept of operation of the market economy, which in later generations, as long as it is a little economic common sense, it is the most simple truth, but in this era it is absolutely novel, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping are experts in business, and immediately captured the mystery in Xu Ji's words.

All along, they knew that Xu Ji had excellent scheming and martial arts, but they didn't expect that Xu Ji also had his own unique set of business skills, which made them look at Xu Ji with admiration.

Businessmen are profit-oriented, and as long as they can make a profit, they will try to make a profit. Therefore, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping looked up, and the former said solemnly: "Lord Sikong is really an expert, and what he said is unheard of but sobering, I don't know if Lord Sikong can say it in detail." ”

Xu Ji saw the humble and teachable appearance of the two of them, and knew that he had truly entered each other's hearts, which was definitely a good start, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

I don't want the two of them to agree to squeeze Liu Bei and Yizhou dry, as long as they can open up Yizhou's business road for themselves. Hmph, who said that Shu is difficult, it is difficult to go to the sky. (To be continued......)
