Chapter 689: Jeju Xun Taishou
After dusk, the lights come on.
Jeju City is more lively and bustling than during the day, with many shops lit up to attract customers, and many people in the city wander the main streets under the lights.
Some of them went straight to those large and small taverns, among which the best business was naturally the most famous and the highest building on the second floor of Bafang and Baiquan.
After the car stopped, Sun Ning and Zhao Hanshan walked down one after the other, and immediately a man in a fancy dress stepped forward with a smile: "But how many Zhao Gongzi from Luoyang? Lord Xun ordered the officials to wait here, and led a few people to meet him."
Zhao Hanshan glanced at Sun Ning, and seeing that he didn't mean to speak, he also smiled and said, "It's my son-in-law, dare to ask who this adult is?"
"Xiaguan Xia Xun, it's just to listen to Lord Xun, it's not worth mentioning. Come with me, several." As he spoke, he led the way quite thoughtfully and led them into the Baiquan Building, which was full of guests.
Jeju is also known as the city of springs, because there are dozens of living springs in the city, and this Baiquan Tower has earned its name because there are several springs with excellent water quality nearby.
The taste of this spring water is much better than that of other restaurants, which makes this restaurant one of the largest restaurants in the city, so that dignitaries and rich families like to come here to drink and entertain guests.
Today's restaurant is also as good as ever, and everyone pushes glasses and changes lamps, laughing loudly, which makes the building more noisy and lively. But the bustle was much quieter as they went up the stairs to the fourth floor.
The fourth floor of this restaurant no longer has the scene of the next three floors of scattered seats and private rooms, a huge floor, only separated by a portal, after Xia Xun pushed the door and invited them to enter, Sun Ning saw that there was a rather elegant and exquisite hall, as well as a dozen or so seats sitting alone, and there were some good-looking musicians around, who were playing the piano there, chanting and singing.
Seeing them come in, the five or six people who had been sitting on the seat turned their heads at the same time, and the eyes of a man in his forties sitting on the main seat changed even more after his gaze fixed on Sun Ning, and he almost cried out: "You ......"
It wasn't until the other party showed such a strange expression that Sun Ning's heart suddenly tightened, and he thought of a key question - Emperor Baoqing's appearance is not only familiar to Liangzhou, these important officials sent by the imperial court to serve in various places have all met the emperor.
Maybe it's been a long time, maybe they didn't dare to really take a closer look at Emperor Baoqing's appearance at that time, but they will definitely not forget the appearance of His Majesty the Emperor.
And now, he appeared in front of such a Jeju Taishou who had seen Emperor Baoqing in such a big way......
However, Sun Ning's reaction was extremely fast, and at this time, he bowed his hand with a smile: "If you are not mistaken, you are Xun Taishou, Zhao Qianzhe is polite." As he spoke, he saluted the others as well.
The other people present also got up to return the salute, and during this period, Xun Taishou Xun Yin finally recovered from the shock just now, and quickly got up and returned the salute: "Zhao Gongzi doesn't have to be polite, please sit down and talk first." As he spoke, he pointed to the position of the guest of honor in front of him.
At the same time, he smiled a little self-defeating in his heart, he was really dazzled, how could he mistake this important figure in the Pingtian Army for His Majesty the Emperor of Dayue, these are obviously two people.
Sun Ning and Zhao Hanshan sat down with a smile, and then Xia Xun gave them an introduction.
The people who accompanied them to the banquet today, except for him and two Xun Yin's subordinates, the rest were all big businessmen in Jeju City.
For example, the big salt merchant Tian Tian, who holds half of the sea salt market in Ludi, and Fang Junyao, a big grain merchant......
Maybe these people are nothing in the officialdom, and they don't have much power in the army, but when it comes to financial resources, even King Lu has to look down on them.
And the appearance of these people alone made Sun Ning feel Xun Yin's extraordinary, which was clearly vaguely pointed out to himself, and he Xun Taishou also had his own power in Jeju.
However, of course, Sun Ning would not really ask these vague points at this time, but just said to the guests and hosts quite politely
laughed and drank, and then inadvertently asked Xun Yin: "I saw Lord Xun suddenly a little strange just now, and his eyes were a little wrong when he looked at me, why is this?"
Xun Yin smiled embarrassedly: "Well, don't you dare Zhao Gongzi, it's really that you look too similar to one of my old people, at first glance, I really thought he was coming."
"Oh? And such things? I wonder who this old man of Lord Xun is?"
"This...... It's a friend who used to be an official in the same dynasty, and I haven't seen him in years, and I don't know what is going on now." Xun Yin obviously didn't want to dwell on this matter, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "Zhao Gongzi, do you know why this official specially invited you to come for a while today?" new
"That's the second question I'd like to ask." Sun Ning said with a smile, looking deaf.
"Haha, Zhao Gongzi is also a real person, so I won't beat around the bush."
Xun Yin took a sip of wine before looking at Sun Ning: "We all know that all the forces in the north are actually attacking my Ludi idea now.
"Because Lu Di is extremely rich, if Lu Di can be attached, I dare not say anything else, and the supply of money and food in the next few years will no longer be a problem."
Sun Ning nodded slightly, but he didn't expect this person to be so straightforward and come to the topic. Looking at the other people in the same room, their expressions also became a little serious.
"But because of this, King Lu is also quite embarrassed now, after all, neither you nor the Liangzhou Guo family can afford to offend. Once this is answered, within ten months, several other troops and horses may attack and kill us.
"Therefore, if Zhao Gongzi wants to let Lu Di be attached, he must show enough sincerity so that King Lu is willing to take risks, I don't know if what I said is right?"
This time, Sun Ning didn't say anything more, because with his identity, he couldn't respond to such an important matter.
So Zhao Hanshan immediately opened his mouth on the side: "So Lord Xun, this is King Dailu and we are here?" Are you planning to sit on the ground and wait for each of us to quote the highest price before deciding who to let Lu Di belong to?"
There was already a slight unhappiness in his tone, and his eyes were even more burning on the other party.
"No, no, no, the two of you have misunderstood, with the strength of my current soldiers and horses, how dare I make such a decision that offends everyone? Even if King Lu has such a mind, I don't dare to have it when I wait for the officials and people of Lu Land." Xun Yin hurriedly denied it, but there was another layer of deep meaning hidden in his words.
