Chapter 207: Looking for a helper
If you let the Yang Guo Iron Cavalry invade Xiao State, how long can your Cao Gang survive? ”
Qian Qianqian stared at Ling Zi'an's every move, her hand couldn't help clenching her fists in her sleeves, and her eyes were full of temptation.
"Having said that, but you asked me to take my Cao Gang brothers to escort grain to the frontier with you, if there is no return, won't my Cao Gang be dispersed?"
Ling Zi'an was still skeptical, he didn't dare to gamble on such a big matter, even if his heart was higher than that of ordinary people, he still didn't dare to risk the Cao Gang.
"When did the helper become so forward-looking, greedy for life and afraid of death? Back then, Ling Junda imprisoned you, and I didn't see you frowning, now you want to serve the imperial court, but you have repeatedly shirked it, it seems that you are nothing more than that. ”
Mu Tianyue said unceremoniously, his eyes were burning, his sword eyebrows were frowning, but Ling Zi'an was unmoved.
"You don't have to use words to provoke me, what to do, I know in my heart."
After a while, Ling Zi'an slowly spoke, his expression was still solemn, as if there were layers of black clouds suppressed above his head, and his eyes were deep, making people shudder.
"Oh? Gang Leader Ling, are you willing to help General Xiao this time? ”
Qian Qianqian did not mention herself, but persuaded Xiao Mohan, she knew that Xiao Mohan had a life-saving grace for Ling Zi'an, and Ling Zi'an would have some scruples.
"Miss Qian, you are really smart and good at talking, but I'm sorry, I still can't promise you."
Ling Zi'an seemed to have thought it through, and he said every word with great certainty, which made it completely impossible to refute.
Mu Tianyue and Qian Qianqian looked at each other, and as Qian Qianqian expected, Ling Zi'an was not so easy to agree, but she was also stubborn and would not be easily persuaded.
"Since the helper is really unwilling, then I won't be reluctant, but General Xiao has brought a large number of soldiers and horses to the frontier, and there are not many soldiers and horses left in Lianzhou City, I heard that the mountain bandits are strong, if I don't go back, please also ask the helper to take care of the people of Lianzhou and protect the peace of the party."
Qian Qianqian bowed slightly, speaking very humbly, sounding as if she was explaining her last words, which made people feel inexplicably distressed.
Ling Zi'an watched her every move, there was no superfluous expression on her face at first, but seeing that she was about to turn around and leave, somehow, her heart suddenly softened.
"You stop." Ling Zi'an spoke in a deep voice, his brows twisted into a "eight" figure.
Qian Qianqian stopped, stiffened, turned around slowly, and a light smile crossed her lips without a trace.
"I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and I also know that Xiao Guo's peace is more important than anything else, since you specially came to invite me, I am willing to go with you."
Ling Zi'an stood up and slowly walked down from the hall, dressed in a moon-white robe, which made him extremely warm, but unlike Mu Tianyue, there was always a murderous aura in his warmth, while Mu Tianyue was more shrewd.
"Great, thank you."
Qian Qianqian was overjoyed, sure enough, Ling Zi'an was not so ruthless, so it would be easy for Shangguan Ling to say.
"Looking at the entire Xiao Kingdom, only you can move me and let me take the Cao Gang to take risks." Ling Zi'an glanced at Qian Qianqian coldly, as if she was angry with someone, which made Qian Qianqian a little confused.
The atmosphere suddenly became a little embarrassed, Mu Tianyue coughed lightly twice, raised her feet and took two steps forward, her thin lips were lightly hooked, and her face suddenly became a lot more friendly.
"Helper, I will prepare the food in the next two days, and then you will take someone to Tianyue Restaurant, and leave for the frontier on time with Boss Qian."
Mu Tianyue opened his mouth to break the calm, Qian Qianqian also nodded immediately, Ling Zi'an just responded lightly, and did not react much.
Coming out of the Cao Gang, Mu Tianyue's face has always been not quite right, Qian Qianqian walked aside, glancing at Mu Tianyue from time to time, and her heart was very strange.
"What's wrong with you? Why is it as if something is holding on to my heart? If you think of me as a friend, just say it. ”
Qian Qianqian stared at Mu Tianyue's face, her eyes were full of temptation, Mu Tianyue came back to her senses and glanced at Qian Qianqian, her expression was very subtle.
"That Ling Zi'an seems to have a lot of thoughts about you, and I am a little worried that you go to the frontier with him."
Mu Tianyue pondered for a moment, but still reminded her, Qian Qianqian guessed that he would say this, in fact, for Ling Zi'an, she had been aware of it before, but she didn't say anything.
"I know what you mean, it's not just me and Ling Zi'an who are transporting military rations, I know how to measure, don't worry."
Qian Qianqian walked forward by herself, as if she didn't take it to heart, Mu Tianyue hurriedly followed, and was always a little wary of Ling Zi'an.
Shangguan Ling learned that Qian Qianqian and Mu Tianyue were coming, and hurriedly came out to greet him, since the last time he said goodbye, he admired Qian Qianqian so much.
"Miss Qian, what kind of wind is blowing you here?" Shangguan Ling was very enthusiastic, and at the same time a little surprised.
"Don't hide it, we came this time to ask for something." Qian Qianqian opened her mouth openly, without the slightest concealment, and said that she was transporting grain, and Shangguan Ling agreed without hesitation.
"You have to think about it, we didn't report this batch of grain to the imperial court, so you are not doing things for the imperial court, but only for General Xiao, which won't help you much in your career."
Qian Qianqian saw that Shangguan Ling was so excited, and she didn't want to hide it, so she finally made Shangguan Lingbai happy, so she simply pointed out the stakes of this matter and let Shangguan Ling decide for herself.
"Miss Qian, in your eyes, is my Shangguan Ling a person who is greedy for fame and fortune? I admit that I want to be an official, but I can still distinguish the priorities. ”
Shangguan Ling's face did not change, and he said it categorically, it seems that he is also a person who knows righteousness, and it is Qian Qianqian who despises him.
"In that case, then thank you, you can hand over the matter at hand, and Tianyue Restaurant will meet me in two days, and we will set off then."
Qian Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, and explained lightly, Shangguan Ling nodded in agreement, and it was very smooth.
After doing all this, Qian Qianqian and Mu Tianyue went straight back to Lianzhou City, Mu Tianyue had a lot of food in case of emergency, more than the previous military rations, and Qian Qianqian felt that Mu Tianyue should have more than these grains in his hands.
"Boss Mu, you are really hidden, so much food, enough for the people of Lianzhou City to eat for a year and a half, and you were crying poor everywhere before, it seems that you are really a shrewd businessman."
Qian Qianqian looked at the mountains of grain in front of her, and couldn't help but marvel, but Mu Tianyue didn't think so, as if this was a normal thing.
"What's this, businessmen will take precautions, this is a necessary vision for doing business, I only took out thirty percent of the food you sent to me these days."
Mu Tianyue lightly hooked her thin lips, her deep eyes flashed with a touch of cunning, and her sword eyebrows were majestic, revealing an indescribable mystery.
"How many people in Lianzhou City are about to be unable to open the pot, you really calm down, it seems that it is right to keep you in Lianzhou, if it is me, seeing those people living so happily, I must be unbearable."
Qian Qianqian couldn't help but admire Mu Tianyue, if it is true that in terms of vision, men and women are different, even though Qian Qianqian can be regarded as a heroine among women, but when it comes to business, she is still not as good as Mu Tianyue.
"So go in peace, I promise you that I will never allow a single citizen in this Lianzhou city to starve to death."
Mu Tianyue's words changed sharply, and she said extremely firmly, Qian Qianqian bowed slightly, and her long eyelashes drooped slightly, blocking the emotions in her eyes.
Soon, the two-day period arrived, Shangguan Ling and Ling Zi'an came to Tianyue Restaurant at the same time, and the moment they saw each other, they couldn't help but have cold faces.
"You are here, Gang Master Ling, Lord Shangguan, you are all distinguished guests I invited, you have to worry more along the way."
Qian Qianqian changed into a men's dress, with a green silk crown, long eyebrows and sideburns, although her appearance is more delicate, but her eyebrows are heroic, and then she puts on a wide robe, with her hands behind her back, if you don't know, you really think she is a handsome man.
Ling Zi'an and Shangguan Ling turned their faces, and when they both saw Qian Qianqian, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and their expressions were also full of different kinds of excitement.
None of them expected that Qian Qianqian, such a pretty woman, would be more heroic than most men when she dressed as a man.
"Ahem, this is Boss Qian, don't you recognize the two of you?"
Mu Tianyue stood aside, seeing that Ling Zi'an and Shangguan Ling's eyes were swirling on Qian Qianqian, so he deliberately stepped forward to block Qian Qianqian, breaking this subtlety.
"Boss Qian, I thought you were only looking for me, but I didn't expect Gang Master Ling to accompany you, he is not a court official, let him go together, I'm afraid it's inappropriate."
Shangguan Ling was the first to come back to his senses, leaned over slightly, squeezed out a sentence from his mouth, and looked at Ling Zi'an's eyes with indescribable vigilance.
"If it weren't for Boss Qian coming to beg me, I wouldn't go, don't think that anyone is rare about the little errands and lukes of the imperial court."
Ling Zi'an raised his head, his face was full of indescribable arrogance, and he belittled Shangguan Ling to a loss, quite a bit of arrogance of people in the rivers and lakes.
"What are you? is so unruly, if General Xiao is here, it will be your turn to show off your power here? ”
Shangguan Ling is also a high-minded and arrogant person, rarely bows his head in front of others, and now that Ling Zi'an embarrasses him like this, he naturally can't help it.
"Hmph, don't put your stinky shelf of a sesame petty officer in front of me, even General Xiao won't talk to me like this."
Ling Zi'an didn't eat this, Shangguan Ling became more and more annoyed, seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Qian Qianqian immediately stepped forward and interrupted them.
"Okay, I invited you to come to escort food, not to quarrel, the current situation on the frontier is critical, we should fight with the enemy, if you fight like this, it will be to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige."
Qian Qianqian's face was gloomy, and her eyebrows were twisted into a dead knot, Shangguan Ling and Ling Zi'an are both smart people and know the priorities, so even if they are dissatisfied with the other party, they will endure it for the time being, and when the food security is sent to the frontier, it is not too late to compete again.
