Bai Mufeng and Han Yueying were treated similarly in the Western Dynasty Army, they both arranged for five or six soldiers to take turns to guard, and under the premise of ensuring the supply of three meals, they completely lost their freedom. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Bai Mufeng is better than Han Yueying. In his spare time, Du Lun would chat with him, and Han Feng and the others would occasionally ask him if he knew some about the customs of the road from Yuecheng to Fengzhou. This young man knows everything and speaks endlessly, so he got a lot of courtesy in the Western Dynasty army, that is, Luo Xing saw him, and he also wanted to be called "Bai Gongzi".

When the Western Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty broke Fengzhou City, he followed the soldiers who protected Mingxi, although he was some distance from the battlefield, but he became an out-and-out bystander. He saw the combat power of the Western Dynasty Tianma, and also saw the weakness of the resistance of the Fengzhou defenders, and he also saw the pride of the two young emperors - they were both young people, which made him feel a lot of emotion.

Yes, when he heard that Emperor Liu was going to see him, he couldn't help but be excited, ashamed, and a little inferior.

Liu Quan carefully looked Bai Mufeng up and down before saying, "You don't have to be afraid, Emperor Han and I are brothers, today we don't care about the monarch and the people, just chatting." You also relax and find a place to sit. ”

Bai Mufeng said "um", but he still didn't dare to move, he peeked at Han Feng, Han Feng saw it, so he waved his hand at him, and said with a smile: "What Emperor Liu said is, Bai Gongzi, you might as well sit next to Scholar Du, we have something to discuss with you." ”

Seeing that Han Feng, who had never called himself "I" in front of him tomorrow, also said "I", Bai Mufeng mustered up his courage and sat down with his chest bowed. Among these people, he was the closest to Duren, sitting next to his acquaintances, Fang Jue was more comfortable, and the expression on his face was much more comfortable.

Seeing that he was relaxed, Liu Quan asked, "Bai Gongzi, I heard that your family is engaged in grain trading, but I don't know if you are also interested in other transactions. ”

Only then did Bai Mufeng notice the difference between Liu Quan and Han Feng: the Liu Emperor in front of him looked evil and handsome, although he was on par with Han Feng's handsomeness, but his temperament was completely different. And when he opened his mouth, he didn't look like an emperor at all, but like a businessman who had done business, quite a businessman.

This businessman's aura was exactly what Bai Mufeng was familiar with, and for a while, he felt that the person in front of him was very kind, and his original awe eased a little. He took a breath and arched his hand: "Back to Emperor Liu's words, the villain is willing to hear about it." ”

Liu Quan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's just discuss it privately, we don't have to be so restrained, otherwise it will be difficult for a few of us to speak." ”

Bai Mufeng said: "Yes." ”

Liu Quan asked, "So, can Bai Gongzi be regarded as the head of the Bai family?"

"Huh?" Bai Mufeng's body shook slightly, and he was already slightly aware of how much impact his next words would have on his family, he didn't dare to promise easily, and after a pause, he said, "To be honest, the villain is not the head of the Bai family now, otherwise ......" He smiled bitterly and said, "I won't be sent to such a far place to do such a thing." ”

Mingxi was very sensitive to these things, and when he heard Bai Mufeng complaining, he said, "So, you are not a descendant of the lineage?"

Bai Mufeng nodded awkwardly and said, "The Bai family's business is in Jiangnan, and the Jiangbei side was originally untouchable, because seeing that there were business opportunities to take advantage of the war, the clan let the villain try it." It's not a secret, the villain also knows that this is out, and if he can go back, it is nothing more than icing on the cake, if he can't go back, he will just be an outcast, and he will still be looked down upon by the clan...... So at that time...... That's when it ...... Alas......"

"That's it. Han Feng said, "You don't have to be discouraged, isn't everything going well now? What's more, this war will burn to the south of the Yangtze River sooner or later, and I have stayed in Yuecheng for a while, the Bai family is not a famous businessman, and the foundation is not rich, how can you survive this catastrophe? But if you can gain a firm foothold on our side, maybe you will become the family's Zhongxing force, and who will dare to look down on you in the future?"

Bai Mufeng listened attentively, but he had always been cautious, although he secretly felt in his heart that this might be a good opportunity for him to turn over, but he didn't dare to respond easily, so he just didn't say anything, and subconsciously raised his hand to support his forehead.

Du Lun saw it, poured a cup of tea for Bai Mufeng, and said, "Listen first, don't be in a hurry to make a decision." ”

Liu Quan said: "What Scholar Du said is that there is no urgency in everything, but you should always think more. Bai Gongzi, you have been in the army for a few days, and you have been in Fengzhou City for a while, I don't know what you have seen, what are your views on the future, can you tell me about it?"

"Future?" This question was too big, and Bai Mufeng was stunned at once, but he had lived in a merchant family since he was a child, and his thoughtfulness was somewhat similar to Liu Quan, and he pondered for a while, and then thought that he would start from what he saw and saw to talk about what the Western Dynasty and Northern Dynasty coalition forces would face next, "This ...... When the villain came, most of the soldiers in Fengzhou City fled, and many people fled, and the new arrivals were all fleeing from the surrounding villages. These people were all gathered by General Zhang, saying that they were going to the mining area to mine, and later ...... I haven't seen it since. Seeing that General Zhang snatched the villain's grain and grass, I thought that there had already been a food shortage in the army, and now we have entered the city...... ......Isn't it also for the sake of food to ask the little ones to come together?" he scratched his head and said in a low voice, "The little ones really can't do it...... Unless ......"

Han Feng and Liu Quan glanced at each other and laughed. Han Feng said: "Unless there is anything, you might as well say it bluntly." ”

Bai Mufeng said: "The villain is just talking nonsense, you can't blame you for saying the wrong thing." The villain saw that there were many defenders of Fengzhou as prisoners, and these people no longer had much morale and combat power, and letting them go to the front line was nothing more than a strong momentum, and maybe it would drag us down. When the villain first came to Fengzhou City, he also had contact with these soldiers in private, and some of them were forcibly recruited from the village next to them by the capture of the strong men, and they still had their hometown in mind. The villain was thinking, it is better to divide the soldiers into categories, and if they are willing to follow us, they will be included, and if they don't plan to follow, let them go back to farming and fend for themselves, but if they have to say that they will have a harvest in the future, they will give us some of them. In this way, we can resume production and establish a defense, and we can continue to go down. ”

"Well said!" When Liu Quan heard this, he couldn't help but stand up, clapped his hands and praised, "Well said! Bai Gongzi, it's really not easy for you to have this kind of knowledge, don't be arrogant in the future!"
