Xu Lin smiled and asked, "Do you think you can compare to the Red Lady?"

Xiao Yu said calmly: "The red lady sits on the royal court, and I can't compare with the background alone." But just because you have a lot of money doesn't mean you have a lot of money. ”

Xu Lin sat back in his chair, "Aren't you afraid of being left in Zhongdu by me?"

Xiao Yu smiled and said meaningfully: "How can the Metropolitan Governor not get along with himself." ”

Xu Lin was noncommittal, and changed the topic: "The confrontation between the north and south of the grassland, Zhongdu has become a pivotal link, originally because of Wei Chi, the governor was on the side of the red lady, and later to the surprise of the governor, Wei Chi actually died in your hands, but think about it, the literati's duty is to move their mouths, and it is our martial arts to do it, but Wei Chi, a literati, wants to do it, and it is reasonable to die." Now that Wei Chi is dead, the governor will not go to the near and far to find the red lady. ”

Xiao Yu smiled: "Xiao Yu will definitely not disappoint the Metropolitan Governor"

Xu Lin clenched his fist lightly, "That's the best." ”

While speaking, Min Xing quietly walked out of the main hall, leaving only Xiao Yu and Xu Lin. Xiao Yu said suddenly: "I don't know what the Min Governor is in charge of in the Central Capital?"

Xu Lin glanced at Xiao Yu and said, "The chief is in charge of the affairs of the soldiers, horses, grain and grass, and Ma Zheng is the internal affairs of the Fujian Bank." ”

Xiao Yu nodded, "In this way, Xiao will have to be closer to Min Du in the future." ”

Xu Lin said with a smile: "As long as this matter is negotiated, he will be responsible for the specific affairs in the future, and it is up to you to decide who you send on this side of the grassland, the grassland is bitter cold, tea, salt, iron and other things are scarce, but the most important thing is horses." However, war horses have been scarce in Zhongdu over the years, and I remember that the war horses in the Beigui camp should also be replaced. ”

Xiao Yu heard the strings and knew the elegance, and said: "I still have hundreds of horses in Zhumadian, although they are not good horses, but they are enough as a substitute for foot strength." ”

Xu Lin smiled but said nothing.

Xiao Yu continued: "If the horse market can be reopened, Xiao Yu can stabilize the current situation, and I think that when the time comes, the Metropolitan Governor can open the door a little wider. Among the five metropolitan governors, Xiao Lie had the heaviest power in the court, Qin Zheng had the most sacred heart, and Zhang Qing had the highest prestige, but none of them could compare to the shepherd's ease. Isn't the Metropolitan Governor better than the other three Metropolitan Governors in the court, and not as good as a herdsman who is also guarding the border gates?"

Xu Lin, the governor of the central capital, who was also among the five major governors, was silent.

At this time, Min Xing went and returned, and came to Xu Lin and whispered in his ear.

Then the three of them moved from the main hall to the side hall, and Xu Lin set up a banquet to entertain Xiao Yu in person. The governor of the central capital was accompanied by Fujian.

During the banquet, Xu Lin and Xiao Yu had a secret conversation, except for Min Xing, no one knew half of the content.

In the early morning of the second day, Xiao Yu left the Dadu Governor's Mansion and was personally sent out of Zhongdu by the Governor Minxing and returned to the grassland.

The lonely horse crossed the chasm between the Great Zheng and the grassland, and not far behind Xiao Yu, there were several teams of Zhongdu Iron Cavalry, on the orders of the Dadu Governor, ready to go to the grassland to suppress bandits.

Xiao Yu looked at these iron horses for a while, and then turned around. Hearing the secret guard inspector riding in front of his horse, he laughed, "Talk?"

Xiao Yu smiled and did not speak.

Xiao Jin patted the autumn sweeping knife on his waist and asked meaningfully, "You don't even have the Bodhisattva golden body?"

Xiao Yu said directly: "Originally, as long as Wei Chi didn't die, Xu Lin would always stand at the Red Lady's place, at that time, I naturally didn't dare to come to Zhongdu, for fear of being captured by the Metropolitan Governor, and then Wei Chi died, and I was able to take the position of the Red Lady, the result was naturally different, the Metropolitan Governor didn't want me to die early, so as not to let the promises I made become a bubble." ”

Xiao Jin looked at Xiao Yu at this time, without the indifference when he was chased and killed by Xiao Yu, now in Zhongdu, he naturally could deal with it calmly, and said with a smile: "Big brother, do you really want to be the king of the grassland?"

Xiao Yu asked rhetorically, "I don't do it, do you want to do it?"

Xiao Jin looked at this half-brother who didn't have much time to get along, and said with a smile: "Your temperament is indeed very much like your father." ”

Xiao Yu was noncommittal, but asked, "Xiao Lie will pave the way for you to take over the secret guard now?"

Although the two of them were still facing each other in life and death not long ago, but at this time they couldn't see it at all, Xiao Jin said calmly: "First do some time in the position of the inspector of the central capital, and then transfer me to the eastern capital step by step, and when I do the crown ceremony, it is estimated that I will be pushed to the position of the governor of the internal guard, at that time, if you can't sit in the position of the king of the grassland, I will definitely be the first to kill you, and the Xiao family does not raise waste." ”

Xiao Yu held the reins and did not speak.

This time it was very strange that the two did not stiffen more and more as they talked, but were calm, Xiao Jin continued: "An Guogong's position is mine, and the secret guard is also mine, our Xiao family has served in the secret guard since the ancestor Xiao Lin, and the 200,000 secret guards should be our Xiao family, and no one can take it away, including you." ”

Xiao Yu pressed the head of the sword that broke the formation on his waist, and said calmly: "Whoever the Xiao family belongs to, the secret guard belongs to." ”

Xiao Jin smiled, "That's right, when my father achieves a free immortal, I will inherit An Guogong, which is perfect." ”

Xiao Yu said calmly: "Let's not talk about whether Xiao Lie will really be willing to leave the world, how do you know that An Guogong will definitely fall on your head?"

Xiao Jin smiled lightly: "Originally, with your ability, eldest brother, if you don't consider the mother family, I am not completely sure that I can compete with you, but it's a pity that ......"

Xiao Yu still said calmly: "I will take my own things." ”

Xiao Jin shook his head and laughed: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants." ”

Xiao Yu didn't speak, and the horse walked past Xiao Jin, and the two parted ways.

After passing by Xiao Yu, Xiao Jin muttered to himself: "People's hearts are insufficient, my father gave me a Qingyun Road, what else do you want?"

Xiao Yu asks for a lot, sometimes in his own position, he has to do what he has to do, begging the Xiao family for his mother, for the grassland, and for Lin Yinping.

Xiao Yu does not deny his desire for power, but it is not all for power.

Xiao Yu heard it, although Xiao Jin's words were not said to him, but he still answered, and Xiao Yu said without replying: "Please feel at ease." ”

Xiao Jin was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said: "The place of peace is my hometown?

Xiao Yu turned around, took off his waist and broke the array, and lay it in front of him.

Xiao Jin held the knife in his backhand, and the knife was full of vitality.

This is a knife that Xiao Lie personally forged for him.

Xiao Jin gently stroked the blade of the knife and smiled: "I'll try it one last time." ”

What to try, Xiao Jin didn't say, and Xiao Yu didn't ask, but both of them knew it.

Xiao Jin naturally wanted to try if he could kill Xiao Yu.

In Zhumadian at that time, Xiao Yu did not draw a knife, in Zhongdu, it was Xiao Jin's territory, so he could draw a knife without any care.

Xiao Yu looked at Xiao Jin, who was sweeping the autumn knife on his waist, and said with the same smile: "The trade route is reopened, and if you don't want to help me, then you are the last obstacle." ”

Obstacles, naturally, must be removed.
