"Madam, if there is nothing else, I'll leave first."

Yuan Ning looked at Mo Xiao a little stunned, probably thinking about something, and then looked at Mo Xiao as if he had nothing to order, so he left first.

Mo Xiao looked at Yuan Ning who left, and always felt that he was thinking too much, although Tong Tianyun was good-looking and an excellent person, he didn't necessarily like it, he really thought too much.

Mo Xiao patted his head, feeling that he was really a little abnormal recently, and he should study his thinking direction carefully.

When Gu Lingjin came out of the study, what he saw was that Mo Xiao was contacting swordsmanship by himself. Moreover, as if there was something on his mind, it seemed that Tong Tianyun's previous incident still made Mo Xiao take it to heart.

"Mo'er, I'll be your opponent."

"Hmm."

After hearing Gu Lingjin's words, Mo Xiao directly threw the sword in his hand to Gu Lingjin, and he took a spear beside him, and then put on a posture and waited for Gu Lingjin to attack.

Gu Lingjin did not show mercy to the other party because he was his wife, and quickly defeated Mo Xiao.

"Really, why don't you know to be merciful to others? I'm not your enemy, I'm your wife, okay? ”

Mo Xiao looked at Gu Lingjin unhappily, this person was really a piece of wood, which made people unhappy at all.

"Because I know you're definitely unwilling, so I'm not going to do it."

Gu Lingjin knows Mo Xiao, Mo Xiao is the kind of person who is very strict with himself, and he will never let such a thing happen, so there is no need for him to do this to make Mo Xiao unhappy in the end. Although, the current Mo Xiao seems to be unhappy.

"Okay, I know, I'll definitely see the situation in the future, okay?"

Gu Lingjin looked at Mo Xiao's still unhappy look, so he spoke directly.

"It's up to you to behave in the future."

Mo Xiao said arrogantly.

Gu Lingjin smiled and went to dinner with Mo Xiao.

The next day, Gu Lingjin received an invitation from Shan Yong, inviting him to his mansion for dinner, it seems that Duguba's matter has been resolved, and the rest of the things are not so important.

After all, as long as you meet this person, the rest is easy to say. But can things really be that easy? As for Duguba's personality, will it really appear at the banquet?

"Are you worried that what you see is not necessarily Duguba?"

Mo Xiao looked at Gu Lingjin's worried look and guessed.

"yes. After all, no one knows Duguba, so what if the person who comes is a fake at that time? ”

Mo Xiao's worried expression amused Gu Lingjin. It is true that what Mo Xiao said was also something that Gu Lingjin was worried about, but looking back, maybe Dugu Ba might not have such thoughts.

After all, the person who invited Duguba was the city lord, and if a substitute really came, then it would be disrespectful to the city lord.

So when thinking of what might happen, Gu Lingjin still felt that it should not be difficult for him to be able to see the real person.

"Well, are you going with me?"

Gu Lingjin thought for a moment and said.

"Hmm...... Regarding this matter, I still don't move, I'll just watch you quietly. ”

Mo Xiao originally wanted to join in the fun, but then he thought it was better not to go. After all, Gu Lingjin went this time to get down to business, and he might have been eating in the past, so it was better not to show up.

"I think so too, don't worry, I will definitely get things done, and I won't delay the time to come back."

Mo Xiao looked at Gu Lingjin's confident appearance, and quietly waited for him to slap his face, waiting for the arrival of the real fragrance scene. After all, this Duguba is either a simple person as he thought before, or he is a person who is not easy to handle, no matter what, Gu Lingjin is unlikely to come back too early.

On the day of the feast:

"The castle lord's movements are really fast."

Gu Lingjin was the first to arrive, and when he saw Shan Yong, he said.

"It's a big deal about Yangzhou City, how can I not hurry up. Today's everything still needs to be done by you, Lord Gu. ”

Shan Yong seems to be saying on the surface that this matter is everyone's. But in fact, the person who has to contribute the most to this matter is still Gu Lingjin, after all, he is here to manage this matter, if he doesn't contribute at this time, then who will do this thing at that time?

Gu Lingjin also understood, so he didn't care so much about Shan Yong's words, and even caught any language problems. Or, it should be said that Gu Lingjin's heart is very transparent, if he really can't answer the phone at that time, someone will automatically answer the phone.

It is because of this that Gu Lingjin will not worry, no matter what happens, it doesn't matter.

Soon, Gu Lingjin met Duguba. is a young man who is similar to himself, what Gu Lingjin is thinking about at this time is just that he can't imagine that young people are so powerful now.

Although he is not an elderly or middle-aged person, Gu Lingjin still feels that Duguba is really powerful.

"Hello, I'm Duguba."

Duguba himself doesn't know why he wants to attend, usually these things are handed over to his brother, but this time it was invited by the city lord, and everyone's analysis is that if he doesn't show up, he may be too faceless, so this thing still has to be done.

"I'm Gu Lingjin."

Gu Lingjin didn't say much, this person knew what his identity was, and he didn't know that he would know it when he chatted later.

"Let's stop standing and talking, sit down."

Shan Yong played a round on the side, and then invited these two people to sit down, and then found that the first difference between himself and these two people was age, and secondly, these two people had very good achievements, and he was getting by. For a moment, it was really a little sour.

"Actually, the person who is going to entertain me this time is actually Brother Gu, or I should call you Lord Gu, right?"

Dugu Ba looked at Gu Lingjin and said.

"Yes, Ling Jin has just arrived, so he asked the city lord to invite Brother Dugu." Gu Lingjin also admitted it without concealing it at all, and then spoke again. "I think Brother Dugu is also a hearty person, why don't we talk while eating?"

Wouldn't it be good to ask people to come over for dinner, just taking up time to talk? Moreover, time is not so tight, and there is no need to be so exaggerated to seize the time to chat.

"Well, yes, as I will."

Duguba said politely at all.

I was invited to dinner, so I can't solve the purpose in a short time, how can I eat at that time? Or rather, whether there is a chance to eat.

"Come, let's have a drink."

Shan Yong is responsible for adjusting the atmosphere, and as for other things, leave it to Gu Lingjin to do. After watching it for a while, I also understood that this Dugu Ba had already seen the difference between himself and Gu Lingjin clearly, and the other party had already understood who he wanted to talk to about these things.

"Master Gu has anything to say, just say it."

After Duguba finished with a glass of wine, he looked at Gu Lingjin and said.

"I believe that Brother Dugu must know my purpose." Gu Lingjin said directly. "I came to Yangzhou City because of the previous bribery, and now the matter has basically come to an end, and it is the time for Yangzhou City to develop."

"So what?"

Duguba doesn't think this matter has anything to do with him.

Yangzhou City needs to pay no less money and silver every year, and the bribery has nothing to do with himself, so this matter is over, what else needs to be done by himself?

"My idea is that this Yangzhou City belongs to everyone, and it should be built well. So, I hope you can help. When Gu Lingjin said this, he kept looking at Dugu Ba, wanting to know what the other party thought of Yangzhou City.

"Building Yangzhou City? Is there anything else that needs to be built in this Yangzhou City? ”

Duguba didn't think that these messy things needed to be done by himself, if it really came to that time, then there would be no need for this Yangzhou City to exist.

"Of course it needs to be built. What you see is only the surface situation, in fact, to what extent Yangzhou City has reached, needless to say, you actually know. If that's the case, why don't you want to contribute a little bit? I think you'll get more than you give. ”

Dugu Ba looked at Gu Lingjin, this person is really powerful. What's amazing is that the person in front of me is very good at drawing. In just a few sentences, a beautiful blueprint is said, but whether this blueprint will be realized is another matter.

"Master Gu wants to know how I am?"

Dugu Ba looked at Gu Lingjin, not to mention what kind of plan this method is, as far as it seems at present, it is just a plan of an empty glove white wolf, because Gu Lingjin will definitely not pay any benefits at this time. At the end of the day, it's just your own pay.

"Please."

Gu Lingjin nodded, looked at the other party and said.

"In my opinion, Lord Gu, your empty-handed white wolf is really good. It's just that I don't seem to have to agree to your position. ”

Duguba's refusal was also very direct, and then he sandwiched a few dishes he liked to eat and drank a glass of wine.

Gu Lingjin looked at Dugu Ba and didn't speak for a while.

This is the first person to say this about himself, but he does use empty gloves white wolf, if it is Yongzhou City, Gu Lingjin must be able to pay whatever he can, but this Yangzhou City can only pay his own energy.

Shan Yong looked at the two people from the side, and there was no room for interjection at all.

Originally, it should have been the time when he appeared on the scene, but looking at these two people, it seemed that they were competing at this time, and if they opened their mouths rashly, they might not know what the result would be at that time, so Shan Yong became eating and drinking on the side.

"I don't think what Brother Dugu said is right, what is called an empty glove white wolf? The basis for this is that this benefit is something I want to get. But now it is the people of Yangzhou City who are getting the benefits, and it is you merchants, as for my benefits, it is just no merit. ”

Gu Lingjin paused and said.

"This Yangzhou City is a passing place for me, and this passing place has things I have to do. I have to do these things well, and as for the rest of the place, I don't really care that much. If you're worried that my words won't count, or that I'll regret it, I can sign a contract with you. ”

Dugu Ba looked at Gu Lingjin, this person spoke and won his heart. Directly and clearly say what you think in your heart, but the more you do this, the more difficult it is for you to refuse. What impressed Duguba was what Gu Lingjin said, the person who benefited from this matter was from Yangzhou City, and it had nothing to do with Gu Lingjin.

When this Gu Lingjin came, Dugu Ba had gone to investigate, this person was a general who fought in a war, and now he was transferred to do these things, in fact, he was still unwilling in his heart. However, the emperor's order came down and had to be carried out. Gu Lingjin's words are not unreasonable, but if he continues, his losses will not be small. You have to make up for this loss.

"What you say makes sense, if I agree to cooperate with you, then I will also be among the people who will benefit in the future." Duguba nodded and said. "However, my vision is really short-sighted, I can just see these interests in front of me, and I don't know what Lord Gu is going to do?"

After Gu Lingjin listened to Duguba's words, it seemed that as long as he could pay some benefits, he could actually talk about it. This Duguba is indeed a smart person, although he is a little naïve, but he is not stupid. It seems that there has been a great deviation from the previous discussion with Mo Xiao. This man is smart, but he is not the kind of person who is extremely smart, at least not as smart as himself.

However, Gu Lingjin is not as smart as the other party is not clever himself, and the people here are all human spirits, and if one loses his vest, the ending may be even more tragic, so he should calm down and see what benefits the other party wants.

"I understand what Brother Dugu means, but I still have something to say."

Gu Lingjin hesitated for a moment and said.

"I can't promise too much, because too much is unfair to other people, after all, in this case, a lot of people have paid. I can't ignore other people's contributions, just meet your requirements. ”

Duguba appreciates Gu Lingjin's straightforward words, and it is just right to be so impartial.

"Yes, don't worry, my request will definitely not be too exaggerated. Moreover, I have no interest in coercion and inducement. Duguba said loosely. Okay, now let's talk about your thoughts. ”
