Chapter 337: Hidden Merit and Fame

After getting the report, Lu Yi hurriedly came out, and was more than ten steps away, so he bowed to the end, "Mr. has worked hard." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Guo Sheng rushed a few steps and threw Lu Yi down, his black and thin face, his eyebrows were flying, and his spirit was excellent.

"The prince is waiting for Mr., I got the letter yesterday, counting the hours, I have been waiting for more than a quarter of an hour." Lu Yi looked at Guo Sheng and laughed, "Look at your complexion, this trip is quite smooth?" ”

"How can it be done? But then it all went well, and finally didn't pay what was entrusted. Guo Sheng and Lu Yi were talking, striding inside.

"Tonight, if Mr. is free, I will put a few glasses of water and wine in the small courtyard to catch Mr." Lu Yi invited.

"The general's mansion is full of good wine, and peanuts are going to be this year." Guo Sheng agreed, he also had a lot to say, and he wanted to talk to him in that small courtyard.

In the upper room, the curtain was lifted high, King Qin stood in the door, watching Lu Yi and Guo Sheng enter the hanging flower door one after the other, Guo Sheng turned the screen, saw King Qin, hurriedly pulled Lu Yi, went down the steps, crossed the patio, ran to the door of the upper room in a few steps, lifted the robe and was about to kneel.

King Qin had already gone out and stretched out his hand to grab Guo Sheng, "Mr. has worked hard, let's go into the house and talk." ”

Lu Yi followed behind Guo Sheng, watched the people serve soup and refreshments, and retreated from everyone, Guo Sheng stood up and bowed to King Qin again, "This gift is Bai Shuai's entrustment." ”

King Qin raised his hand and signaled, "I will accept this gift, Mr. sit, this great victory, Mr. has made great contributions, but it is just ......"

"I was instructed by the prince, just trying my best to do a good job, and the prince also knows that I am a person, and I can be in it this time, and I have witnessed Bai Shuai's complete success in the first battle, only this, I am satisfied with the next, and I want to thank the prince for giving me this opportunity."

Guo Sheng bowed slightly, his words were very sincere, and he really thought so.

"Mr. Guo is a real strange person." Lu Yi sighed.

King Qin smiled and nodded, signaling to Guo Sheng, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Yes, when I left the capital, I asked someone to send a letter to Panshi, asking him to set off immediately, to find Huo Er's house, I found a sea boat, went around to Jinmen, found a man named Yao San, and with him, went to the big island where the barbarians were.

This Yao San, I knew a strange person when I traveled to Tianjin in my early years, Yao San's father was an extremely rare boat boss, he followed his father on the sea ship at the age of two or three, when he was five or six years old, a storm, he held a floating board, floated on the sea for five or six days, and drifted to the big island of Barbarians.

Yao San was extremely smart, pretending to be dumb for half a month, and actually learned the words of the barbarians, and said extremely authentically, he first pretended to be a barbarian native, and then pretended to be a barbarian nobleman, deceived a few boats of gold and silver, and wanted the leaves to return to the roots, when he was about to arrive at Jinmen, he encountered a storm again, he held a floating board, and this time he drifted to Jinmen. ”

Lu Yi smiled, this person is really unlucky.

"When Yao San and I arrived on the island, Yao San still had a lot of acquaintances, and a few of them said that they were his retainers, and they cried bitterly when they saw him, and it was only six or seven days before Yao San picked two big people on the island to fight.

Huo Er did his best, and within a few days of the two families fighting, dozens of boats of knives and guns were transported, and both ends were sold cheaply. ”

King Qin's eyebrows were raised together, this errand really has to be done by Guo Sheng.

"To the sea, Fan Boss and other bandits finally formed an alliance with blood, the barbarians are young and strong, more than half of the dead and wounded, I and a few brothers, and burned two large grain depots, the two heads of the two families are in urgent need of silver, buy grain for the winter, and the rest of the men, almost all of them, the barbarian side, according to Yao San's view, there are no thirty or fifty years, this vitality can not be recovered."

King Qin breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.

"Huo Er's house, it was the rock that followed, I came back in a hurry, I couldn't see the rock, I don't know the details, the rock carried a letter and said, after the year, Qiu Da and Huo Er's family will go to Beijing with Bai Shuai to offer prisoners, I asked the rock to follow and tell the prince the details."

"You send a letter to Hu Panshi, you don't have to go to Beijing, let him do two things, first, be optimistic about the canal, and second, let him close up the coastal places, if there are not enough people, let him find Huo Liancheng and Qiu He to ask for it." King Qin raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and commanded.

Guo Sheng's eyes widened suddenly, and then he bowed his hand, "Congratulations to the prince, rest assured, look down, everywhere on the sea, it is more appropriate to put it in the hands of Qiu Da and Huo Er, put some people in the rock, what about the prince?" ”

King Qin glanced at Lu Yi, nodded and smiled, "It depends on your meaning." Hearing you say this, Yao San's contribution is indispensable, where is he now? ”

"Back to Jinmen, Yao San, this person, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, everything likes everything is not fine, and is the life of a passing God of Wealth, before going, he agreed with me, if it is a thing, and he has a life to come back alive, let me provide him with good food and drink for the rest of his life, a small gambling pleasure, there is a woman every other day, I promised him, but the appointment is dead, only in the canal line, leaving the canal, I don't care, this time in Yangzhou, said that it is water in the morning, water in the evening, about a while at ease. The prince can rest assured. ”

King Qin laughed out loud, Guo Sheng's friends are also strange people, "You are not short of silver, and I will remember this great merit of Mr." King Qin stood up and bowed to Guo Sheng, "This is Mr. Xie for the imperial court." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Guo Shengzha waved his hands around, but he accepted this gift unceremoniously.

After saying a few more details, Guo Sheng said goodbye, asked for a horse, and went straight to Yongningbo's mansion.

Li Wenshan received the second door, looked at Mr. Guo, who had lost more than a whole circle, tears fell, and said that he had worked hard for a long time, and did not ask much about the rest of the words, Mr. Guo's errand on this trip, he knew, and if he knew, he knew that he should not ask. Guo Sheng didn't say much, said a few words of hard gossip on the road, and together with Li Wenshan, he met Mrs. Yan, and Mrs. Yan didn't ask even half a word, but ordered to take a few old ginseng and let the kitchen stew the soup to Mr. Guo.

Guo Sheng went around in a big circle, he saw everything he shouldn't see, and he didn't find a chance to see Li Xia, so he really had no choice but to go back to his small courtyard in a huff.

Fugui stretched his neck and waited at the gate of the small courtyard, and when he saw Guo Sheng coming over, he jumped down three or four steps happily, and rushed up to hold Guo Sheng's horse, "Master, you are back, the brothers miss you, ...... you."

"Yes!" Guo Sheng raised his two eyebrows and raised his hand to stop Fugui, "Master, I'm tired, I'll talk about nonsense tomorrow, shut up!" Lead the horse down. ”

Fugui stretched his neck, watched Guo Sheng jump up the steps in a few steps, and went straight in, before he choked out a sentence: "...... I mean, the girl is ......."

Guo Sheng lifted the curtain and rushed straight into the house, almost hitting Duan Yan who was standing at the door.

"You...... Girl! Guo Sheng didn't finish your word, but he saw Li Xia, who was sitting comfortably in his broken rocking chair in the middle of the room, and hurriedly knelt down.

"You go outside and watch." Li Xia motioned to Duan Yan, Duan Yan lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and bent his knees to withdraw, and entered the small upside-down room at the entrance of the courtyard to guard.

"Girl," Guo Shengqu knelt on the ground, looked up at Li Xia, and smiled brightly, "Thanks to the girl, this trip has gone extremely smoothly." ”

"You've worked hard, get up, sit down." Li Xia shook off the rocking chair and motioned to Guo Sheng.

Guo Sheng hurriedly stood up, sat on a small bamboo chair next to him with a little care, looked at Li Xia, and laughed again, "Thanks to the girl, thank you girl, this trip ...... It's worth it. ”

"Let's have a cup of tea and talk about it roughly." Li Xia ordered a cup of tea on the side of the small table, close to Guo Sheng's side.

Guo Sheng hurriedly leaned over and picked up the tea, raised his head and drank it, put down the cup, pressed his hands on his knees, and roughly said the front and back, "...... The day before he came back, Panshi asked Dong Laosan to come over, and Panshi said, "

Guo Sheng paused, "This matter was also said by the prince just now, Panshi said, according to him, Huo Liancheng and Qiu He have been thrown into the prince's door, just now the prince ordered that Panshi does not need to go to the capital to report the details over there, saying that it is to let Panshi go to the coastal chaos to close the chaos, I suggest that the coastal area is still in the hands of Qiu He, let Panshi mix some people in." ”

Li Xia couldn't see any expression on his face, and was silent for a moment, "Bai Jingning's side, how is it?" ”

"According to the girl's instructions, this trip but do good things without asking about the future, Bai Shuai here, should be contacted, all put in the hands of Hu Panshi, sold to the barbarians of the dozens of boats of knives and guns, more than half of them were sent by Bai Shuai, when I came back, I saw an old servant of the Bai family in Yangzhou, saying that I had been waiting for two days on the orders of Bai Shuai, saying that Bai Shuai asked me to thank the prince for him."

"Didn't thank you?" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Li Xia's mouth.

Guo Sheng looked at the smile on the corner of Li Xia's mouth, and nodded with a smile, "You didn't thank me, I also think it's a good thing, it's about a great favor and no thanks?" ”

"No, this is not a great favor, he is taking you as a knowledge, the disaster in the south has been cleared, Bai Jingning will soon be transferred back to the center, the position of the privy envoy has been empty for several years, and when he comes back, you remember, do your duty as a knower, and the rest is not as important as this one."

Li Xia seemed to be in a good mood. Guo Sheng also followed the mood and flew down, "Yes, don't worry, girl." ”

"A few things, one, warn Hu Panshi, it's enough to take care of the canal, don't stretch out your hands around, two, tell Lu Yi two things, one is Qiu He and Huo Liancheng, put them under the gate of the Qin Palace, it's a pity, it's best to let them follow Bai Jingning, and the second thing, those barbarians seem to have caught a lot of alive, right? Don't kill them all, keep some, hand them over to the coastal tooth shops, subdue and tame, and work for cattle and horses. ”

"Girl, is this what you want?" Guo Sheng's eyes lit up.

"Well, people are like this, ignorance is the most fearful, even if it is a tiger, snake and leopard, if you look at it every day, scolding and scolding, and see other tigers and leopards, you will no longer feel how terrible, this is a long-term plan." Li Xia explained in a low voice.

In the past, these barbarians could frighten children not dare to cry at night, but when they heard that the man-eating barbarians were coming, their liver and gallbladder were cracked, and countless routs were all because they were afraid of the wind.

"Rest assured, girl." Guo Sheng's eyes were shining, and he agreed, "General Lu made an appointment with me, and said that he would have a few drinks tonight." ”

"The third thing, tell my uncle, the Jiang family sisters and brothers, since the surname is Jiang, the surname Jiang is the best, nothing else, no need." Li Xia continued.

Guo Sheng was stunned, and then agreed, "Yes." ”

I don't understand this matter a little, so I'll think about it later.

"Also, my sister gave Mrs. Ruan's seventeenth uncle, Ruan Jinyu, have you heard of it?" Li Xia stood up with the armrest of the chair and asked leisurely.

"Huh?" Guo Sheng was stunned, "It's decided?" ”

"Well, that's good, I'll tell you." Li Xia said, passing Guo Sheng out of the house, "Don't send it, take a good rest, Lu Yi has an excellent amount of alcohol and has never been drunk." ”

"Yes." Guo Sheng didn't dare to move forward, watched Li Xia go out of the house, stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, looked at her standing under the porch, beckoned Duan Yan, turned back, and entered the rich courtyard behind.

Guo Sheng blinked a few times, just now at the door, Fugui didn't tell him that the girl was in the house, this Fugui was received by the girl in the palm of her hand? Well, I'll have to ask tomorrow.
