"You say...... Your name is Ao Lie? Ao Lie of Yanjing? Zhen Yi asked in surprise with an incredulous look.

Ao Lie smiled and said, "It's like a fake." ”

Zhen Mi flashed out behind his father, and asked in disbelief: "You said that you are Ao Lie, what proof do you have?" Anyone can say empty words. ”

Zhen Yi stretched out his hand and pulled Zhen Mi back, and scolded softly: "Don't be rude." Zhen Mi stuck out her little tongue, and the innocent feeling arose.

Raising his hand, he pulled out the Chixiao Divine Sword on his waist and handed it to Zhen Yi's eyes, Ao Lie said slowly: "The Zhen family master is as wise as a torch, he must know this sword, right?" Zhen Yi carefully glanced at the Chixiao Divine Sword twice, and the look of shock on his face reappeared: "This is, Chixiao!" You...... Is it really the champion Hou? "With Ao Lie's prestige growing, many people know that Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Dao Dao, has fallen into Ao Lie's hands, and now that he sees Chixiao, Zhen Yi naturally determined Ao Lie's identity.

Ao Lie smiled slightly, and then put away the Chixiao Divine Sword, as if he was talking to himself: "The Zhen family in Yecheng, the ancestor is the bloodline branch of Guiguzi, hundreds of years ago because of offending the enemy, he was almost wiped out, and he was forced to live in the rivers and lakes, and he didn't return to Yecheng until a hundred years ago and changed his surname to Zhen. Right? ”

Zhen Mi grew up and couldn't help asking, "How did you know the Dao?" As soon as he said that, Zhen Mi reacted to his gaffe, and hurriedly covered the cherry mouth with his little hand. Different from Zhen Mi's reaction, Zhen Yi has experienced too many ups and downs, and his ability to withstand it is much stronger than Zhen Mi, with a calm look on his face, Zhen Yi nodded and said, "Yes, these are all facts." If the prince has anything to say, you might as well say it directly, and the old man will listen to it. ”

Looking at Zhen Yi's reaction, Ao Lie nodded secretly. According to the investigation of the Shadow Members, Zhen Yi has a free and easy temperament, and he does not have the copper smell of ordinary businessmen. Now it seems that it was. At the same time, this also made Ao Lie feel at ease, and talking to smart people is much easier than talking to people who only admit money and don't want to die. Ao Lie believes that with Zhen Yi's wisdom, he should make the right choice.

"Hehe, the head of the Zhen family is quick to talk, so so-and-so will get straight to the point. Yuan Benchu first entered Jizhou, and his foundation was unstable. There may not be any big moves for the time being, but once he stabilizes the overall situation, he will inevitably force the various families in Jizhou to show their attitudes, either surrender to him or be eradicated by him. To put it mildly, with the status of the Zhen family, except for a lot of money, nothing else can enter Yuan Shao's eyes at all. Even if Yuan Shao wooed the Zhen family, it was just for money. Zhen Jiaruo really took refuge in Yuan Shao. It is equivalent to putting a maggot on his body, and if he does not suck up the money of the Zhen family and drink it clean, Yuan Shao will never give up, and wait until the money of the Zhen family is completely packed into his pocket. With Yuan Shao's character, he will definitely kick the down-and-out Zhen family away, and he will never care about the life or death of the Zhen family again. The head of the Zhen family is a person who understands what he said. Can you agree with it? Ao Lie said slowly.

Zhen Yi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and did not directly answer Ao Lie's words, but asked rhetorically: "If Yuan Shao is replaced by a prince." What will the prince do? ”

Ao Lie said with a smile: "A certain person has always adhered to a purpose, people make the best use of their talents, and they will never do anything like killing chickens and taking eggs." If it was Yuan Shao, instead of coveting the wealth of the Zhen family, he would vigorously support the Zhen family to achieve a win-win situation. ”

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, I understand what you mean, don't you just want our Zhen family to work for you and help you make money? What's the difference between you and Yuan Shao? Zhen Mi pouted and said angrily.

Ao Lie glanced at Zhen Mi with interest, he didn't expect Zhen Mi, who was innocent in appearance, to have such a meticulous mind, it seems that Zhen Yi is really pampered and meticulous on weekdays, and his cultivation and guidance of Zhen Mi are in place. Ao Lie shook his head with a smile and said to Zhen Mi: "Miss Zhen, you are wrong in what you said. Yes, he had the intention of inviting the Zhen family to move to Yanjing, but it was by no means just to seek the Zhen family's money, as Miss said. ”

Turning his head to look at Zhen Yi, Ao Lie continued: "The Zhen family moved to Yanjing, and all the places they needed, such as residences, shops, and workshops, were provided by a certain person free of charge. He will not interfere with any of the business activities of the Zhen family, except for salt and metals, of course. To put it bluntly, it is a certain geographical condition to provide and the Zhen family to invest in production, we do not have the problem of who uses whom, but the relationship of equal cooperation. How? ”

Zhen Yi thought seriously about Ao Lie's words, and then said: "In business, what Junhou Shicai said, although it is very tempting, is not enough for the old man to make the decision to move his family north. The Zhen family is a family of merchants, and if there is not enough profits, the old man will definitely not leave Yecheng. ”

Ao Lie smiled: "Has the head of the Zhen family forgotten the misery of his ancestors in the rivers and lakes? If one day, after Yuan Shao turns the Zhen family's money into his own, what value does the Zhen family have in Yuan Shao's eyes? Where to go, I hope that the head of the Zhen family will think twice before acting. ”

Zhen Yi hesitated for a moment, and said to Ao Lie: "This matter is a big matter, and the old man can't be this family alone." If the prince is sincere, he will give the old man some time to think, and fifteen days later, still in this ancestral hall, the old man will definitely give an answer to the prince. As Zhen Yi spoke, he looked at Ao Lie's facial expression fixedly, trying to see how sincere Ao Lie was on Ao Lie's face.

Ao Lie smiled casually, the expression on his face was very natural, he arched his hand towards Zhen Yi, and said, "That's good." Deal. Fifteen days later, a certain came again to listen to the decision of the old master. After speaking, Ao Lie handed Zhen Mi a kind smile, and then strode out of the ancestral hall.

After Ao Lie left, Zhen Mi whispered: "Father, in my opinion, the world is as black as a crow. Yuan Shao is not a good person, this Ao Lie is also suspicious, just refuse him directly, why do you have to agree to see him again in 15 days? ”

Zhen Yi glanced at Zhen Mi with a smile, and the solemnity in his eyes had already turned into doting: "Silly boy, you are too naïve." In fact, Ao Lie's analysis is not wrong at all. Yuan Shaogang is self-serving, wide on the outside and taboo on the inside, and he is by no means the master. As a father, he has long had the idea of going elsewhere, but he hasn't decided where to go yet. ”

Zhen Mi grew up in surprise again, and asked suspiciously: "Then Ao Lie proposed such generous conditions, why didn't my father agree to him?" Zhen Yi laughed a few times and continued: "That's why you said you were naïve." Who is Ao Lie? It is the governor of the Hidden and Great Metropolis, the champion of the Son of Heaven, who holds the land of two states, and has more than 100,000 soldiers under his command. The reason why he came was nothing more than to prove his sincerity, and at the same time, it also showed that the problems he was facing, only the wealth of my Zhen family could help him solve them. If the father doesn't take the opportunity to get enough benefits for the family, why should he take charge of the Zhen family? ”

Reaching out and stroking the top of Zhen Mi's head, Zhen Yi said earnestly: "Mi'er, our Zhen family is not short of money. What is lacking is a strong guarantee for the safety of the family. If Ao Lie can promise that no matter what happens, he can let the incense of the Zhen family continue, and there is nothing to hesitate about as a father. If he can spend fifteen days in Yecheng without being discovered by Yuan Shao's eyes, it means that he has a strong ability to protect himself and extraordinary courage, and at that time, his father may agree to his conditions. ”

Listening to Zhen Yi's explanation, Zhen Mi completely understood, it turned out that there were so many twists and turns. "I'm tired of talking to you." Zhen Mi muttered in a low voice.

Zhen Yi patted the back of Zhen Mi's hand lovingly, and said with a smile: "No way." This is the helplessness of the Shangjia family. We can only survive in the cracks. In the future, when you marry a big hero, you don't have to worry about it anymore as a father. Seeing his father talking and talking about his marriage, Zhen Mi stomped his feet unscathed, causing Zhen Yi to let out a hearty laugh. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, after a long talk with Ao Lie just now, it made Zhen Yi's heart feel a lot easier, he is looking forward to Ao Lie, who has repeatedly created miracles, to spend fifteen days in Yecheng safely, in that case, he can move his family to Yanjing with confidence.

When I got home, it was almost time for dinner. Zhen Yi set a rule, no matter how busy he is, when eating, the whole family must be all together, and no one else will eat. At this moment, Zhen Mi's two elder brothers, Zhen Yan and Zhen Yao, were already waiting in the restaurant with their families.

After everyone sat down, Zhen Yigang picked up the chopsticks, put them down again, and after retiring all the servants who were waiting beside him, he told his two sons in detail about the meeting with Ao Lie in the afternoon, and asked them to share their opinions.

Zhen Yan took the lead and said: "This matter is not appropriate. Ao Lie and Yuan Shao have a deep hatred, and sooner or later there will be a battle between the two. Although Ao Lie is located in the secluded and two states, it is a bitter cold place, and it is not as good as Jizhou in terms of financial resources and manpower. Now that Yuan Shao is about to pacify Jizhou, after a little rectification, Yuan Shao's strength will inevitably increase greatly, how can we abandon the strong and go to the weak? ”

Different from Zhen Yan's opinion, Zhen Yao retorted: "The opinion of a certain and my brother is just the opposite. Yuan Shao is stubborn and self-serving, and he is definitely not a person who can be relied on. On the contrary, it is Ao Lie's great talent and strategy, and he is the master of the world. In such a comparison, I think Ao Lie's chances of winning are greater. ”

Seeing that the two sons had their own words, and each of them had a certain amount of truth, Zhen Yi sighed and said, "What you said is right, but you also ignore one of the most important issues - orthodoxy!" Although Ao Lie changed his surname to a foreign surname, he is a member of the Han family after all, and this cannot be changed. Although the Han is in turmoil at the moment, there are many loyal people, so within twenty years, the Han will never perish. If the Zhen family has to stand on the side of the team, the father still tends to serve the Han family. ”

Zhen Yan asked: "Then what does my father mean is that he is preparing to move to Yanjing?" ”

Shaking his hand, Zhen Yi said with a hint of hesitation on his face: "My father actually hasn't made up his mind, so let's wait until fifteen days later." If Ao Lie wants to recruit the Zhen family, he must first let the Zhen family see his ability to protect himself. We'll find out in fifteen days. (To be continued......)

PS: PS: The fact that the Zhen family is the descendants of Guiguzi is made up by Da Kun, and it does not exist in historical facts. The Zhen family is actually the descendants of Zhen Han of the Han Taibao.
