Chapter 14: The Wind Rises in Jinling (1)
"Hmph, do you still know that you are coming? When is this? My pot of tea has been drunk from green to colorless, you can bear it, if you come early, I will not bet with Master Wu, you have to pay me for this." "Ping Tianluo suffered a loss from the Jinwu Division, and sprinkled all his qi on Bian Fengyu's body.
Bian Fengyu chuckled lightly and patted Ping Tianluo's shoulder: "Tianluo, do you have to blame me for this, in our Jinling City, who doesn't know that the gold shopkeeper's gambling skills are first-class, who dares to bet with him, I'm afraid that the money will not be spent, that is, you have nothing to do with him, and you have to blame others if you lose, you say, what is your reason." ”
"If it weren't for his attractive bets, do you think I'd be willing to bet with him? Ping Tianluo said angrily.
Jin Wushi looked at his brother, who was two years older than him, and was helpless, so he had to say: "Alas, that's it, that's it, I'm also afraid of you, don't you just want that piece of meteoric iron, don't I just give it to you, don't keep saying these things in front of Brother Bian, as if I took advantage of you." In fact, he didn't care about the meteoric iron, but he saw that this little wooden figure from Ping Tianluo was very delicate, and he wanted to come over and give it to others, but he was afraid that he would not want to, so he won it back in the form of a gamble.
"Are you serious? do you really want to give it to me?" Ping Tianluo heard Jin Wushi say this, and his eyes immediately emitted a strange brilliance, as if the meteorite was right in front of his eyes.
"I, Master Jinwu, am also the big shopkeeper of the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, when I don't count, don't you go back and send someone to get it later, I can still deceive you in front of Brother Bian." "As a businessman, Jin Wushi keeps the word promise the most, otherwise, he would not be able to get mixed up in the business sea to such a point.
"Don't, don't, I don't need to send someone to pick it up, I'll go directly to your house with you later, and then you can send two people to help me deliver the meteorite to my house." "Ping Tianluo was afraid that Jin Wushi would regret it, but he had begged Jin Wushi for a long time, but he didn't ask for it, this time Jin Wushi sent it to the door, he didn't want the boiled duck to fly.
"You're a good settler, don't say anything about my things, and I want someone to send them to you. Jin Wushi smiled dumbly: "My people are not used in vain. ”
"You, you, I don't know how much I have taken advantage of Wushi for so many years, Wushi has a good heart, don't say anything, I can't stand it. Bian Fengyu smiled and tapped Ping Tianluo's forehead with his finger.
"Brother Bian, don't look at me like this, there are many people in Jinling City who want me to take advantage, I don't necessarily take advantage of it, Master Wu asked me to take advantage of him, I think I look up to him. Ping Tianluo said seriously, what he said was true, Ping Tianluo is a well-known genius craftsman, good at secret techniques, secret weapon production, and the things he made are all sought-after goods in Jinling City.
Bian Fengyu and Jin Wushi glanced at each other, and immediately laughed.
Bian Fengyu said with a smile: "Tianluo, you are a pistachio, in fact, if you can get rid of your lustful problem, then you will be more perfect." ”
"Brother Bian, you say this about me, I don't agree, I'm not lustful, I'm more fraternal, and I and my wives love to die and live, really, I'm the victim, I have to be tortured by them every day, I'm easy. Ping Tianluo said with a bitter face.
"What kind of friends have I met? The fourth prince of Jinling, Fang Baiqi is fond of martial arts, Ping Tianluo is lustful, Jin Wushi is good at gambling, Liu Qianyu is greedy, and my little brother Xiao Wu, a wine fairy-like character, he will die when he drinks, alas, ......" Bian Fengyu sighed.
"Brother Bian, you said that Brother Fang, Master Wu and I have the personalities of the three of them, I admit it, but Liu Qianyu is greedy, but I don't see it, you say he is greedy, and I don't see him fat, and your hair is small, called ...... Call...... What's it called? Ping Tianluo couldn't think of it for a while, scratching his head and thinking hard.
"Wu Yihan!" Jin Wushi added.
"Oh, yes, yes, Wu Yihan, you say that he is a wine fairy, I just don't accept it, Brother Fang's alcohol consumption is also notoriously good, there are few people in Jinling City who can drink him, I think your little brother may not be his opponent." Ping Tianluo said unconvinced.
"Liu Qianyu is greedy not because he eats too much, but because he eats finely, as soon as he hears that there are dishes he has never eaten, he must try them, just like when you see a beautiful woman in Pingtianluo. Xiao Wu's amount of alcohol, but he has not been compared with Brother Bai Qi, one day Brother Bai Qi came back, and he and Xiao Wu can compete with each other, the two of them have the same temperament, Xiao Wu is also a good martial artist. Bian Fengyu said with a smile: "If the two of them meet, we can open a small gamble and make a bet, so that Tianluo can press two bets and win Wushi once." ”
"This relationship is good, if I open a gambling game for the two of them, I will definitely suppress Brother Fang, Master Wu, you must also be the one who presses Brother Fang, right?. Ping Tianluo listened to this suggestion and suddenly came to his senses.
"No, I'll press Xiao Wu to win. Jin Wushi smiled.
"Master Wu, I will be angry if you don't help your brother so much. Ping Tianluo was a little annoyed when he heard him say that he suppressed Wu Yihan.
"It's not that I don't believe in Brother Fang, it's just that the person who can make Brother Bian call a wine fairy, but it's not ordinary, besides, if I suppress Xiao Wu, won't you have a better chance of winning me." Jin Wushi explained.
"Hmph, what you said is good, don't play tricks with me if you lose when the time comes. Ping Tianluo gave him a blank look.
"You, you, you're two years older than me, but your mind hasn't seen much older than me, am I a person who plays tricks with people?" looked at Bian Fengyu and didn't speak for a long time, but Master Jin Wu reacted and asked: "Brother Bian, you shouldn't have come to us today to catch up with us, just say something directly." ”
Bian Fengyu's eyes swept around, and seeing that there was no one, with a wave of his hand, a man in white appeared, kneeling in front of him on one knee: "Young master." ”
"Against the water, you should pay attention around and don't let people get near here. Bian Fengyu commanded.
"Yes. The man in white was ordered to retreat.
"Brother Bian, don't worry, it's relatively safe here, when Tianluochen and I got up, we observed it, there were no suspicious characters, and I also arranged for the secret guards to keep an eye on the surroundings, just say anything directly." ”
Bian Fengyu paused, and said, "Something happened to Liufu." ”
"Something happened to Liufu? Is it Liu Qianyu?"
"Which Liufu can it be, isn't it Qianyu there? Yesterday, the ghost doctor took a patient to Qianyu, and Qianyu came to heal him, but he didn't want the person to be healed. ”
"What are you talking about? Heal the dead, this ...... It's unlikely. "Jin Wushi and Ping Tianluo were shocked, although they and Liu Qianyu are listed as the four sons of Jinling, their usual friendship is not very deep, but Liu Qianyu's medical skills, they all know, although they can't be called the flesh and bones of the living dead, but they can be regarded as dead wood in spring, otherwise how could they be ranked as the fourth prince of Jinling with them.
"This is true, when Xiao Wu brought Qianyu to me last night, I only knew about this matter, the matter of treating the dead is a big deal in the Xinglin realm, Qianyu almost committed suicide by taking poison in order to protect the prestige of the Liu family, if Xiao Wu hadn't stopped it in time, it is estimated that Liufu is already a vegetarian now. ”
"Brother Liu is really high-spirited, and when such a thing happens, he can even think of dying to make his ambitions, which really makes me admire. Jin Wushi couldn't help but admire.
"Master Wu, what you said is wrong, this matter is caused by someone, it was the ghost doctor who sent the patient at that time, if it was only a ghost doctor, it was not to be feared, and Qianyu would not have cured that patient, but there was a white-headed doctor Immortal Yi An involved in this kind of thing, I was a little afraid, the ghost doctor had a prodigal style in the early years, and his reputation was not good, but this Yi An has a great background, and the two of them should not be underestimated. I'll go to Liu's house today to see what happened to the person who was treated to death. Bian Fengyu poured a cup of tea and drank it.
"Brother over there came to us today, is he going to talk about this?" Jin Wushi was direct, he felt that Bian Fengyu definitely wanted to talk about more than just these things.
"There are indeed other things. Bian Fengyu looked at Master Jin Wu and said: "This is still Qianyu's matter, I feel it, the white-headed doctor Immortal Yi'an is a person from the Taiyi Pavilion of the Western Capital, and he is involved in the Western Capital." I have to pay attention to the fact that the movements of the Western Capital over the years are not small, what Black Tiger Army was established, it is clear that it is going to start a war with Donghua, and the Northern Hungarian has always stood on the same front as the Western Capital, needless to say, there is also Nanwu, swaying, a grass on the wall, if Donghua starts a war with the Western Capital, Nanwu will definitely bite us in the back. Bian Fengyu sighed: "We should be hidden people, since Lianshan Hall has chosen to support Donghua, we have no choice, although the Donghua Empire has been strong in recent years, but how can it be one against three, besides, within the Donghua Empire, there is a hidden force, very powerful, I am afraid that it will also shake the foundation of the Donghua Empire." It's hard to solve, it's hard to solve, but Dianjun threw me a big problem. Bian Fengyu shook his head and sighed, with the strength of one country being lower than the power of three countries, it is already difficult, and he has to guard against the hidden forces in the country, how can he not give him a headache.
"Yes, it's been peaceful for almost twenty years, I'm afraid those people can't help it. Jin Wushi stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the sky.
"Brother Bian, I don't understand what you say, Liu Qianyu is just a doctor, how could he have anything to do with Donghua, even if Liu Qianyu was forced to death by them, what can he do? Ping Tianluo couldn't figure it out and asked.
"Tianluo, I'll tell you about this. Jin Wushi returned to his seat just now and said: "The four kingdoms are fighting, not only involving the political affairs of the court, but also involving the forces of the rivers and lakes. The Donghua Empire has the Sword Palace as a support, the Sword Valley and the Cloister Valley in the west, the Tianxing Mansion in the Northern Hungary, and the Southern Wu have no Jianghu forces, but they also have the assistance of the ancient Wu clan. They are openly fighting against each other, but secretly these forces are fighting. Since it involves the battle of the rivers and lakes, it will inevitably involve injuries to people, ordinary injuries are still just, if the injuries are serious, ordinary doctors can't treat them, then the only way to find a miracle doctor is to find a miracle doctor, at present, the only one who can be called a miracle doctor is Liu Qianyu, Baitou Yi'an and ghost doctors. Therefore, as long as Liu Qianyu is folded, it will be a serious blow to the Sword Palace. ”
"Master Wu's analysis is very reasonable, Brother Qianyu is not dead now, they should still take action, since they can't force Brother Qianyu to die, it is estimated that they will carry out assassination. In the past two days, I want to move the Liu family into Nanfu Academy, where I can feel more at ease. Bian Fengyu said here and looked at the Jin Wu Division, and sighed: "Lianshan Hall lost the support of the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce in the early years, just like the drift on the sea, it was almost scattered, if it weren't for your support in silver money these years, I'm afraid that Lianshan Hall would have been unable to hold on." ”
"Brother Bian said such things, it seems to be out of sight, I support Lianshan Hall is not without what I want, these years, the business has become bigger, it is inevitable that some people will covet it, I have not practiced martial arts, the strength of the bodyguards invited by the Chamber of Commerce is also average, Lianshan Hall has provided me with many secret guards, and it is also a security guarantee for the Chamber of Commerce and my family. ”
"Master Wu, pay more attention to business recently, I have a hunch that they will move next, especially for the Marriott Chamber of Commerce, we must take it to heart, I estimate that they will suppress the Jinling Chamber of Commerce next. ”
"No need to worry anymore. Jin Wushi sneered, and his face sank: "They have already started to target the Jinling Chamber of Commerce. ”
"When did it happen?" Bian Fengyu was not much surprised, as if this was expected.
"It should have been more than half a month, and when our merchant ships entered the border of the Western Capital, the tax rate was increased by half, resulting in a lot of goods being sold at a loss. They also wantonly suppressed our Chamber of Commerce in the market, secretly purchased our grain, and were still digging up the people of our Chamber of Commerce. Jin Wushi's face was gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "Hmph, I thought I didn't know." I have fully informed all the merchant offices below, all merchant ships no longer trade with the Western Capital, and the grain trade has also been suspended from cooperation with the Western Capital. And a while ago, the caravan that returned to Jinling from Iron Dragon City was also robbed, and only two secret guards in the caravan escaped, and I suspect that this is also the work of the Marriott Chamber of Commerce. Jin Wushi said this, his hands clenched into fists, full of anger, and his eyes exuded a fierce gaze.
"Listening to what you say, this water is getting deeper and deeper, where is Brother Bai Qi, you still have to let him go back to Jinling, in a few days, you will send some more people in your house, otherwise, it is not impossible to let the palace transfer some people. After speaking, Bian Fengyu said to himself: "It seems that twenty people were transferred to the Red Tiger yesterday, but there are still too few, and the entire Red Tiger must be transferred to Jinling." ”
"It's not that serious, you need to transfer the entire Red Tiger, Brother Bian, I think you are a little bit of a soldier. Ping Tianluo said disapprerovingly.
"Tianluo, it's not that I'm a soldier, but I'm a person who never takes risks when I do anything, and I won't do it when I don't have absolute certainty to do it, except for Xiao Wu's affairs. I have a lot of things to do, but I don't have much time left, so I need to be more careful, I can't make any mistakes, otherwise it will be doomed. Bian Fengyu said with a stern face: "And you, don't go and get that meteorite, you will go home today, dismiss all the servants in the house, and you will move to Wushi to live for a while, you don't even have a decent secret guard at home, only live in Wushi, I can feel at ease." ”
