Chapter 306: She's Just a Pawn
Xu Yichen looked at Uncle Liu with a smile, since he was sensible, he had followed him, how could he not see if he was angry.
"I just want to go to a wine fight and experience it." Xu Yichen smiled, "The wine fighting conference is famous all over the world, but I have never been there, if it spreads, others are afraid that they will laugh at it." The second young master of the dignified Ruyi Chamber of Commerce didn't even have such knowledge. ”
"Young master, don't fool the old slave." Uncle Liu shook his head, "I think your participation in the wine fighting conference is fake, the real purpose is to meet the girl named Xia Yan." ”
To be honest, Uncle Liu is really holding back a fire in his heart at this moment.
The second young master of his own family, after a few years of hard work, finally mastered the entire Chamber of Commerce, and before he could rest for some time, he planned to inspect all the industries of the Chamber of Commerce.
It stands to reason that this is a good thing, and you shouldn't object to it.
But the young master didn't know what to think, so he only walked around a few places near the capital, and then ordered to go straight to Qin County.
When they knew what the young master was going to inspect, the few places closest to the capital had already made preparations, and they were looking forward to the arrival of this young master, but they waited and waited, and only waited for the news that a young master went to the same state, how could they not be disappointed.
Uncle Liu didn't care about the mood of those people, he was afraid that the prestige that the young master had built up with great difficulty would be ruined because of his willfulness.
If they get this kind of result, then their efforts in the past few years will be in vain.
He couldn't understand why the young master didn't go to the place where the chamber of commerce was densely populated, but he wanted to go to that small county town.
Although the county seat can also bring a lot of benefits to the Ruyi Chamber of Commerce, it is still a small place, and it is still worse than those state capitals.
The young master kept saying that he was going to the wine fighting conference, not only to experience it personally, but also to find some business opportunities for the Chamber of Commerce.
This reason is okay to use to prevaricate others, but if it is used to coax yourself, it is useless.
I have been by the young master's side since he was born, and he was almost pulled up by a handful of and urine, what kind of temperament he is, he naturally knows it clearly.
Although the wine fighting conference is about to start, it is still half a year away. Half a year is not a long time, but it is not a short time, if it were someone else, it would have been possible to arrive early and stay there for a little longer. But in the eyes of his own young master, this kind of thing is tantamount to a waste of time.
According to his previous habits, it was already good to arrive before the start of the wine fight, so how could he leave half a year in advance?
And the road is non-stop, and even the number of breaks is much less than before. It didn't look like he was on a leisurely vacation, but it looked like something important was waiting for him in Qinxian County.
What I couldn't figure out was now completely clear.
Along the way, the young master kept talking about the girl named Xia Yan, and he couldn't wait to see her everywhere.
At this point, if you can't guess what he means, you can't say it.
"Uncle Liu, you still understand me." was guessed to think, Xu Yichen did not feel embarrassed, and smiled calmly.
"Young master, the old slave said that that little girl is just a tool used by Fu Duozhi to get your attention." Uncle Liu sighed, "You have gone to great lengths for such a tool, and you really can't afford it." You are in such a hurry to rush to Qin County, isn't it just as Fu Duozhi intended? At the moment, he may be looking forward to receiving the reward. ”
"If that girl is really as Fu Zhanggui said, what does it matter if I reward him?" Xu Yichen smiled, "If what Shopkeeper Fu said is true, then this girl is a rare business wizard, if we take her under our command, we will definitely be like a tiger." At that time, who is the opponent of our Ruyi Chamber of Commerce in the entire Huaguo? ”
"But if that Fu Duozhi is lying to you, if that girl is in vain at all, won't you run away in vain?" Uncle Liu frowned, "If everything she has today is because of the person behind the scenes, even if you get her, it won't help." A chess piece, even if the material is too rare, but without the person who plays chess, it is always a dead thing. ”
"You're right." Xu Yichen smiled, "But if you can catch up with the person behind her scenes, it won't be in vain for us to make this trip." ”
"Who is that person, who can make the young master pay so much attention?" Uncle Liu was slightly stunned.
The Ruyi Chamber of Commerce has developed to such a point that there are not many people who can make the young master pay attention to it. Now in the capital, not to mention those rich businessmen and wealthy families, even the prince and the prince have to give the young master some face. If there is anyone who the young master can't mess with, then there are only the saint and the prince.
Naturally, the Holy One would not do such a thing, so the rest ......
"Young Master, what you are talking about, is it His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Uncle Liu asked directly.
"Sort of." Xu Yichen smiled, "It's just that it's not him." ”
"It's a ......" Hearing this ambiguous answer, Uncle Liu lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head, "Are you talking about the former crown prince and the current third prince?" ”
"That's right." Xu Yichen nodded, "It's the Third Highness." ”
After receiving a positive answer, Uncle Liu's face couldn't help but look much uglier.
"Young Master, if it's someone else, forget it, then the Third Highness is not worthy of your attention now." Uncle Liu paused for a moment, "Now in the entire Huaguo, who doesn't know that the Third Highness has been abandoned by the Holy One. On the surface, he was sent to fight in the west, but in fact he wanted to exile. As for his life or death, the Holy One didn't care at all. Otherwise, he would not have given him not a single soldier, let alone let him go empty-handed, and would not even give him a penny. The west side was originally a place of nine deaths and one life, and the three highnesses went here and died even more. For such a prince who can't come back alive, do you need to be so attentive? ”
"Uncle Liu, do you really think that Mu Bufan was abandoned by the saint?" Xu Yichen asked with a smile.
"Of course." Uncle Liu nodded firmly, "I was driven out of the capital by the Holy Lord for so many years, and I finally went back and was sent to that kind of place, what is it if I am not abandoned?" ”
"On the face of it, that's right." Xu Yichen picked up the cup in front of him and took a sip slowly, "But I always feel that there are some things that make no sense here." ”
Xu Yichen said this, and then stopped talking. Uncle Liu knew that this was his young master's habit, so he didn't interject, just quietly waited for the following.
"Although the third prince has lost power, Queen Chen left him countless riches back then, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich enough to rival the country." Xu Yichen narrowed his eyes, "Throughout the past few years, our Ruyi Chamber of Commerce has developed rapidly, and we have not encountered too many storms. Although there have been no major disasters, I have suffered a few hidden losses. Coincidentally, the few places that made us suffer happened to be Queen Chen's industry back then. You also know that when Empress Chen was alive, she was vigorous and resolute, and she did not have more than one chamber of commerce in her hands. For so many years, our Ruyi Chamber of Commerce couldn't compete with Queen Chen, and she was always pressed by her. That is, after her immortal death, our Ruyi Chamber of Commerce had no opponent, so we took the opportunity to rise up and have the current scale. ”
As he spoke, Xu Yichen shook his head and smiled: "It's the right one, it's just that I apclaimed myself." When Empress Chen was still there, we were probably just small soldiers in her eyes, and we didn't even have the qualifications to be her opponent. ”
"Young master, you can't be presumptuous." Uncle Liu frowned, "Although Empress Chen is powerful, it was many years ago, young master, you are no worse than Empress Chen back then." ”
Xu Yichen shook his head and smiled: "Uncle Liu, you really think highly of me." Now I am less than one-ten-thousandth of that of Empress Chen back then. ”
Uncle Liu only felt that his young master's words were too humble, and he admitted that Empress Chen did have some ability, but it was not as much as one ten-thousandth of her, which was really too exaggerated.
Xu Yichen saw that Uncle Liu was skeptical of what he said just now, and he didn't complain, but continued to smile: "Empress Chen's industry is only those few chambers of commerce, but secretly I don't know how many forces there are. To put it mildly, with her strength, she doesn't need to put the saint in her eyes at all, if she wants to, she can be the emperor herself. Even if China is abandoned, it is possible to build a new country. ”
"Young master, I'm afraid your opinion of this Empress Chen is a bit overrated." Uncle Liu pouted, "Even if she has this ability, what kind of waves can a person who has been dead for ten years make?" ”
"Although the people are gone, her industries and secret forces have been preserved intact, and today, not only is there no sign of decline, but it is better than it was back then." Xu Yichen narrowed his eyes, "And these things are in the hands of the Third Highness now." If His Royal Highness was to take the throne, he could use the resources in his hand to give the Holy Zen throne, but not only did he not have it, but he stayed away from the capital and hid in that remote mountain village, where he lived for five years. If His Highness is planning something, I don't believe it. It seems to me that he really doesn't want that throne. ”
"Since you have no interest in the throne, why did you suddenly return to Beijing?" Uncle Liu didn't believe that someone didn't covet the supreme right, "The old slave thinks, young master, you must have overestimated the Third Highness, maybe it was because he didn't have the ability to force the palace, so he hid in the mountains to protect himself?" Perhaps, Empress Chen had already been defeated by him in the capital that she left behind. The reputation of the Third Highness in the capital, you are not unaware, living a luxurious life, short-tempered, the six relatives do not recognize, and they are ruthless. If he becomes the emperor, I'm afraid that our Huaguo will not last a few years and will be ruined by him. ”
"Uncle Liu, you really underestimated Queen Chen." Xu Yichen smiled, "Even if there are five more Third Highnesses, even if it is more excessive than now, it will not be able to spend more than what she left behind."
