Cai Xiao and Zhang Jiuwei went up to the second floor, and when they passed by the golden tree, Cai Ba also curiously pulled off a gold leaf, just looking at it, they couldn't tell whether it was true or false, but they took off the gold leaf and checked it with their hands, and they could immediately judge that the gold leaf was indeed made of real gold.

Cai Ba secretly spoke, no matter whether this huge golden tree was real or not, the hundreds of gold leaves on it alone were worth a lot of money. This Yuhua Building is really a golden cave.

When he went upstairs, Cai Xiao also asked: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, this Yuhua Building is so luxurious, and the backer behind it is not simple!"

Zhang Jiuwei smiled and said, "It's not simple, the backer here used to be the eldest grandson Huai'an. ”

When Cai Xiao heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Isn't that the remnant of the imperial family? Now he is recruiting troops in the western part of Ningnan, and he can be regarded as the number one rival of the country at present. What does Zhang Jiuwei mean by inviting himself to the territory of his eldest grandson Huai'an?

Zhang Jiuwei explained with a smile: "Lord Cai doesn't have to worry, after the eldest grandson Huai'an escaped, Yuhualou has nothing to do with him. ”

Cai Xiao's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "In this way, the backer of Yuhua Building has become Master Zhang." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, the lower official is just taking over temporarily. ”

Take over for the time being? Cai Xiao said meaningfully: "Even if Lord Zhang doesn't eat the court's fortune now, he will still make money every day, and he will be rich and rich, and he will enjoy it inexhaustibly. ”

When Zhang Jiuwei heard this, he only hesitated for a moment, and then answered: "Xiaguan is willing to dedicate Yuhua Building to Lord Cai, and from now on, Yuhua Building will be recorded in Lord Cai's name." ”

Cai Xiao's eyes lit up suddenly, and he said indifferently: "No merit is not a matter of success, Lord Zhang gave up such a big industry as Yuhualou to this official for no reason, I'm afraid it's not appropriate!"

"What did Lord Cai say, as long as Lord Cai is willing to bring one or two officials in the future, the officials will already benefit a lot, where do you still need to use Yuhua Building?"

"Haha!" Cai Xiao laughed on his back.

No matter how much Yuhualou makes money every day, he Cai Xiao will not take it seriously, but Zhang Jiuwei is willing to give Yuhualou to him, which is equivalent to making a statement, showing that he is willing to take his lead and take refuge in his Cai Xiao's door.

Cai Xiao looked at Zhang Jiuwei, the corners of his mouth hooked, he laughed, and said, "Lord Zhang is so gracious, if the official refuses, wouldn't it be disrespectful?"

"Exactly, exactly!" Zhang Jiuwei nodded again and again with a smile on his face, while Cai Xiao smiled on his back.

Cai Xiao still doesn't know much about Zhang Jiuwei.

Zhang Jiuwei's life has always been left and right, and he can't offend anyone, but in fact, he still has a rod and scale in his heart. When the two brothers eldest grandson Boyuan and eldest grandson Bohao won the heir, Zhang Jiuwei was like this, that is, he bowed down to the eldest grandson Boyuan, and obeyed the eldest grandson Bohao, but the scale in his heart was always inclined to the eldest grandson Boyuan. The same is true of the current situation, don't look at Zhang Jiuwei who flatters Cai Xiao in every possible way, but in his heart, he is not inclined to Cai Xiao.

In his opinion, Cai Xiao's backer is far less solid than Shangguan Xiu.

If Shangguan Xiu is just a general, then the power struggle between him and Cai Xiao, it is really hard to say who will lose and who will win in the end, the key is that Shangguan Xiu is not only a general, he is also a national prince, based on this alone, it is almost impossible for Cai Xiao to fight and defeat Shangguan Xiu.

Entering the largest private room on the second floor, Cai Xiao and Zhang Jiuwei sat down one after another, and the latter waved in a domestic servant, who held a brocade box in his hand and respectfully presented it to Cai Xiao.

Cai Xiao glanced at it and asked with a smile, "Lord Zhang, is this ......?"

"This is a little bit of the lower official's heart, not a respect, and please Lord Cai to laugh. ”

Cai Ba stepped forward and carefully opened the brocade box, and saw the contents of the brocade box clearly.

The brocade box contains a set of drinking utensils, and what is different is that this set of drinking utensils is made of turquoise jade, and the whole body is dark green, and even the slightest variegation can not be seen.

At this time, the servant pushed the window open, and the moonlight outside shone in, and the wine glass made of jade actually emitted a faint light.

Phantom Yan couldn't help but sigh: "The essence of jade, the bright night shines." ”

Zhang Jiuwei smiled and asked, "Does the Phantom Smoke girl know about this thing?"

"If the little woman is not mistaken, this is a luminous cup. As she spoke, she stretched out her slender jade fingers, picked up a cup from the brocade box, poured the wine into it, and handed it to the window.

Cai Xiao looked at the phantom smoke holding the luminous cup, and couldn't help but sigh: "Beauty is like jade, beautiful jade is bright, and it is rare to see each other." ”

A luminous cup is already the treasure of the world, and a set of luminous cups is rare in the world, and it is difficult to find. Cai Xiao said to Zhang Jiuwei: "Lord Zhang's meeting gift is inevitably too valuable!"

"As the saying goes, treasures should be given to nobles. Lord Cai, don't be polite to your subordinates. Zhang Jiuwei said with a smile.

Ordinary things, Cai Xiao doesn't put it in his eyes at all, and this set of glow-in-the-dark cups, Cai Xiao likes it from the bottom of his heart. He nodded to Cai Ba, who immediately put away the brocade box. Cai Xiao smiled and asked, "I don't know where Master Zhang got this set of glow-in-the-dark cups?"

"This is the palace of the royal thing, after the eldest grandson Bohao ascended the throne, he gave this treasure to the lower officials, the lower officials to keep it is useless, today they will borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and give it to Lord Cai. ”

His words were half-true and half-false, this set of glow-in-the-dark cups was a royal thing in the palace, but it was not given to him by the eldest grandson Bohao, but given to him by Shangguan Xiu.

The Feng army was able to successfully capture the palace and quickly stabilize the situation in Tianjing, Zhang Jiuwei made great contributions, and Shangguan Xiu remembered his merits, so he rewarded Zhang Jiuwei with this set of luminous cups found in the palace's treasure cabinet.

In order to please Cai Xiao, Zhang Jiuwei really gave this set of glow-in-the-dark cups to Cai Xiao regardless of the cost.

When Cai Xiao heard this, he nodded again and again, and said, "Such a treasure can only come from the royal family." ”

Phantom Smoke, who was kneeling beside her, interjected: "There are only treasures, how can there be no beauties?" She clapped her hands gently, and more than a dozen beautiful women with different styles walked in from outside.

Now the tulle on their bodies has been taken off, only their breasts and obscene pants are not completely naked, but they are almost there, and in an instant, the room is full of spring, fragrant and refreshing.

Even Cai Ba and the others were so dry that they couldn't help but hang their heads and step aside.

It can be seen that Cai Xiao's interest is quite high tonight, and he laughs constantly.

He was really happy today, he and Zhang Jiuwei didn't talk about anything serious, but through Zhang Jiuwei's attitude towards him, he could clearly feel his intention to take refuge, which was enough for Cai Xiao.

Yuhualou is an ecstasy cave, not false at all, here, all kinds of stunning women can be found, down to eleven or two years old, with buds to be released, up to twenty or thirty years old, a hundred flowers compete for beauty, everything.

This night, Cai Xiao did not leave, and Zhang Jiuwei was also accompanied.

The next morning, Shangguan Xiu was having breakfast with Tang Mingzhu, and Zhao Chen came over and said, "Brother Xiu, Zhang Jiuwei hosted a banquet for Cai Xiao in Yuhua Building last night, and both of them did not return all night. ”

Tang Mingzhu didn't want to live in the governor's mansion or the hotel, so he lived in Shangguan Xiu's house.

It's not the first time she has lived in Shangguanxiu's house, when she went to Beijing, she lived in Shangguanxiu's house, and when she arrived in Tianjing, it seemed to be a natural thing to live in.

"Yuhua Building?" Shangguan Xiu was very unfamiliar with this name.

Zhao Chen said: "It is the most famous Qinglou in the circle of Tianjing nobles. ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said, "This Lord Zhang is really capable, and he can actually invite Cai Xiao to live in the Qinglou for a night." ”

Zhao Chen said: "Yuhua Building was originally an industry under the name of the eldest grandson Huai'an, but now it has been changed to Cai Xiao's name by Zhang Jiuwei. ”

"Oh?" Shangguan Xiu restrained his smile and looked at Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen continued: "In addition, Zhang Jiuwei also transferred the set of glow-in-the-dark cups given to him by Brother Xiu to Cai Xiao. ”

Shangguan Xiu narrowed his eyes and muttered: "A Yuhua Building, a set of luminous cups, what a big stroke!"

Zhao Chen said in a deep voice: "Zhang Jiuwei has two sides and three swords, sees the wind and makes the rudder, and even gives Cai Xiao everything that Brother Xiu rewards, full of villain behavior, chilling......"

Without waiting for Zhao Chen to finish speaking, Shangguan Xiu waved his hand and said, "Master Zhang, where is he currying favor with Zhang Jiuwei, but playing a trick on him." ”

"What's next?" Zhao Chen was stunned, not understanding what Shangguan Xiu meant.

"A set of priceless luminous cups are from the Ningnan Imperial Palace, a famous Yuhua Building, from the eldest grandson Huai'an, and now, these two things have run into Cai Xiao's hands, what will people think?"

Cai Xiao and eldest grandson Huai'an...... Hidden collusion?" Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment, and finally came back to his senses, but after thinking about it carefully, he shook his head again and again, and said: "Lord Zhang still doesn't know much about the situation in our country, how can Your Majesty's trust in Cai Xiao be offset by two things of property in this area? It is too difficult to frame Cai Xiao and the eldest grandson Huai'an for collusion, and Your Majesty will definitely not believe it." ”

said that Cai Xiao was greedy for money and sought personal gain, His Majesty would believe it, but when Cai Xiao collaborated with the enemy and colluded with foreign thieves, not to mention that His Majesty would not believe it, even Zhao Chen himself would not believe it.

When the wind was in turmoil and Tianjing fell, at such a critical moment, even at the risk of the destruction of the entire family, Cai Xiao could unswervingly stand on His Majesty's side, how could such a person collaborate with the enemy?

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said: "Lord Zhang didn't intend to make His Majesty believe that Cai Xiao collaborated with the enemy, but just disgusted His Majesty with Cai Xiao, and when Cai Xiao wanted to impeach him, the Minister of Internal Affairs, in the future, His Majesty was afraid that he would not have the heart to listen to his impeachment again." ”

"I see. Zhao Chen suddenly realized. When His Majesty favors Cai Xiao, His Majesty will listen to whatever he says, and when Cai Xiao and his eldest grandson Huai'an have inexplicable interests exchanges, His Majesty's favor for him will naturally decrease sharply, and at that time, His Majesty may not listen to anything he says.

Zhang Jiuwei...... This man is also too deceitful. Zhao Chen thought that he had a very thorough ability to see people, but he found that he hadn't seen through Zhang Jiuwei at all.

Shangguan Xiu smiled at him, and said indifferently: "First loyal to the eldest grandson Boyuan, and then loyal to the eldest grandson Bohao, under the two of them, they can be uniquely favored, calling for wind and rain, and becoming a smash hit, this Lord Zhang, how can he be a general?" In terms of intelligence, Shangguan Xiu also thinks that he is inferior to this Lord Zhang.

Tang Mingzhu said curiously: "Hearing that my brother-in-law admires this Master Zhang so much, even Zhu'er wants to visit him." ”

"Hmm!" Shangguan Xiu nodded and said, "If you have the opportunity to ask Master Zhang for advice, you will definitely benefit a lot." ”

Zhao Chen's face changed and said, "Zhang Jiuwei is so deceitful, I'm afraid that he may not be sincere to Brother Xiu." ”

Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders indifferently and said, "I don't need him to work for me, I just need him to work for the Wind Country." After a pause, he smiled and asked, "Chen, do you know what Master Zhang's most powerful ability is?"

Zhao Chen shook his head blankly.

"Good at reading people. Regardless of whether Zhang Jiuwei is sincerely loyal to him, he will choose to stand firmly on his side in the end. Being good at recognizing people is Zhang Jiuwei's way of survival.

While they were talking, a dark flag officer ran over in a panic and stood at the door of the lobby, not daring to enter rashly, but kept looking inside.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen owed to Shangguan Xiu, and then walked to the door of the room. The dark flag spy immediately stepped forward, handed a small bamboo tube to Zhao Chen, and said in a low voice, "Battle report ahead." ”

The small bamboo tube for the transmission of this flying pigeon has been painted with a red mark, indicating that it contains a hundred thousand urgent battle reports.
