Gongsun Changfeng stared at Chen Baibin tightly, directly pulled out the sword at his waist, and slashed at Chen Baibin's neck.

Chen Baibin frowned, looked at the Xuantie Sword that was only less than a finger away from his neck, and said softly, "It seems that the general has misunderstood the students." ”

"If it is an ordinary literati, General Ben was already half scared to death when he just drew his sword, and you are different, the long sword hangs from the throat and does not move at all, this kind of composure is not something that ordinary scholars can have, Chen Baibin, what is the purpose of your coming to my Gongsun's house?"

Gongsun Changfeng's true anger overflowed, and his tone was full of murderous intent.

Chen Baibin pretended to shake his head helplessly, "General, the student is just an ordinary scholar of the rivers and lakes, who travels around the world with his three-inch tongue, and he never wanted to be appreciated by the head of the Gongsun family and accepted as a guest.

If the general has any suspicions, he can kill the student with a sword, and it is not a pity for the student to take a cheap life, but if the Gongsun family misses the golden opportunity to succeed because of this, then the general is the sinner of the Gongsun family. ”

"You dare to threaten me?" Gongsun Changfeng was furious, to be honest, it had been a long time since he had met someone who dared to talk to him like this.

"Students don't dare." Chen Baibin arched his hand and said, "Just from the perspective of the Gongsun family, helping the king of Guangnan to raise troops is indeed the most suitable choice at the moment, if the little prince ascends the throne, then the Gongsun family will always be a commercial family, and can only stay in Suzhou in a corner of Suzhou, but if the king of Guangnan is the emperor, it will be completely different, General Gongsun, what do you think?" ”

Gongsun Changfeng's eyes narrowed, looked at Chen Baibin, and sneered, "Then have you ever thought about the consequences of failure?" ”

"If the generals help, then there will be no failure." Chen Baibin's words made Gongsun Changfeng's heart chuckle.

Chen Baibin saw Gongsun Changfeng's hesitant eyes, and was secretly happy in his heart, and immediately continued, "The defenders of Zhongzhou plus the Yindu Imperial Forest Army and the Praetorian Guard are only 50,000 people, and you have 100,000 Zhennan troops under your command, in terms of military affairs, you are far superior to Yindu.

Moreover, the identity of the prince is the son of Emperor Muzong, and the elder brother is the last brother, within the ethics, why can't the prince of Yindu sit on the throne? In the end, how did the general know that there was no one on the Yin side to support the prince? ”

The last sentence made Gongsun Changfeng's gaze at Chen Baibin instantly become gloomy, "You are a small doorman, how do you know so much?" Do you know everything about Yindu? ”

Chen Baibin still arched his hand with an unchanged face, "General, it is up to the people to make things happen, and those officials and masters in Yindu are not all people with clean sleeves and dedicated to the country." ”

The most attractive thing in the world is power and status, in the face of power and status, the greed in people's hearts will be infinitely magnified, enough to make the code of ethics always cease to exist!

Gongsun Changfeng slowly withdrew the Xuantie Sword, looked up at the word Gongsun behind his father's study, at this moment, Gongsun Changfeng hesitated.

The moment the long sword left his neck, Chen Baibin took a deep breath.

Looking at Gongsun Changfeng, who was still a little hesitant, Chen Baibin slowly spoke, "General, don't you want the Gongsun family to become one of the best families in Dafeng?" ”

Gongsun Changfeng became more and more hesitant, and Chen Baibin knew that he had won.

"Is this a must-have?" Gongsun Changfeng sat on his father's chair with a butt.

At this moment, he really became a member of the Gongsun family.

Chen Baibin and Gongsun Changfeng talked for a long time, and when Chen Baibin came out of the study, Gongsun Lian, who had been hiding in the shadows, smiled softly and said with relief, "Mr. Chen is really a god." ”

Gongsun Changping next to him held his father's arm and smiled unconsciously, "Dad, since the eldest brother is on Ling'er's side now, shouldn't we be able to raise troops?" Taking advantage of the current political situation in Yindu, he directly entered Yindu. ”

"Tell Ling'er that when the winter falls in a month, the army will go north, and this old man will spend his time in Yindu." Gongsun Lian's face was full of ambition.

Gongsun Changping smiled from ear to ear and immediately left.

Gongsun Changfeng in the study hadn't come back to his senses yet, and Gongsun Lian went straight in.

Gongsun Changfeng looked back at Gongsun Lian with admiration, Gongsun Lian walked up and hugged his son gently, and said while laughing, "Changfeng, Dad knows that you won't leave Gongsun's family alone." ”

Gongsun Changfeng pushed Gongsun Lian away, his eyes were red, "My Gongsun Changfeng has become a thief in the end." ”

"No, you're not, you're my grandson Lian's son and Ling'er's uncle."

Gongsun Changfeng's belief that he had insisted on for most of his life collapsed at this moment, and Gongsun's family was indeed very big, so big that it trapped him, the general of Zhennan.

……

Suzhou, Huofu.

Huo Xiao, the eldest young master of the Huo family, held a letter in his hand, and walked into the study of Huo Jian, the head of the Huo family, with a nervous expression.

"Dad, General Gongsun's letter." Huo Xiao said excitedly as soon as he entered the door.

Since the last time I talked to Gongsun Changfeng, Huo Jian still admires this descendant, his foresight and his deep satisfaction with the relationship between the Huo family and the Gongsun family in the future.

For this reason, since Gongsun Changfeng came to the Huo family last time, Huo Jian has more or less sent Gongsun Changfeng some Mojia organs over the years, which should pave the way for the improvement of the relationship between the two families in the future.

Seeing his son's nervous appearance, Huo Jian, who was studying the wooden mechanism, sighed and said dissatisfiedly, "General Gongsun's letter is nothing more than asking for some tricks, you just give it according to the above, what are you nervous about." ”

Huo Xiao opened the letter and spread it on Zhuo, pointed to the seal of appreciation, and said, "This is not the military seal of the Zhennan Army, but the private seal of General Gongsun, and on weekdays, each army will have the seal of the military department when purchasing mechanical techniques, but this time there is no letter on it, child...... The child didn't dare to take this idea, according to the rules, the military seal, the official seal, and both, you can allocate the mechanism, this ......"

When Huo Jian heard this, he hurriedly threw down the mechanism in his hand, picked up Gongsun Changfeng's letter and observed it carefully, and said slowly:

"It's really inappropriate, I write a letter to you and give it to General Gongsun along with this letter, our Huo family is also doing things for the imperial court, and things that don't comply with the rules must not be done."

At this moment, the second young master, Huo Sheng, ran in and said while gasping, "Father, eldest brother, General Gongsun is here." ”

"What?" Huo Jian put away the letter, frowned and walked out, "Let's go, go see what's going on." ”

Huo Xiao stood in front of Huo Jian and frowned, "Father, no, there is a problem here, not long after Your Majesty left, General Gongsun asked us for a trick, and at this time he came to the door in person, nine times out of ten, he came for tricks."

There is such an urgent need for a trick, there is no official seal on the letter, and it was when His Majesty has just died, father, don't you think there is a problem here? ”

Huo Jian stopped, frowned and pondered, "According to what you mean, the mechanism technique that Gongsun Changfeng came to us to buy is not for the Zhennan Army, but for other purposes?" ”

Huo Xiao nodded, and said in Huo Jian's ear, "Father, don't forget, General Gongsun is the prince's own uncle......"

Huo Xiao's words woke up the person in the dream, and Huo Jian understood what was going on at that time, and he was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.

Huo Sheng, who was next to him, looked back at his father and eldest brother in confusion, and said suspiciously, "Father, why don't you leave, General Gongsun has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Huo Jian rolled his eyes, immediately shook his head and said, "Today, my father is unwell and wants to rest, you and your eldest brother will go to see General Gongsun for your father, remember, you must treat General Gongsun well, don't snub others." ”

Huo Sheng touched his head and wondered, "But Dad, aren't you doing well......"

As soon as Huo Xiao pulled his younger brother and walked out, he said as he walked, "Dad is what he says, where do you come from so many words, when I meet General Gongsun, don't talk nonsense, just follow me." ”

The two brothers walked towards the hall, and sure enough, Gongsun Changfeng, who had taken off his armor, was sitting precariously.

For Gongsun Changfeng, Huo Xiao is also an old acquaintance, but there is no Huo Jian behind the two, which makes Gongsun Changfeng feel uncomfortable.

Huo Xiao's face was full of smiles, and after seeing Gongsun Changfeng, he smiled and saluted, "General Gongsun, I haven't seen you for a long time, my little nephew is polite." ”

"It turned out to be the eldest young master." Gongsun Changfeng returned the salute, but his eyes kept looking behind Huo Xiao.

Huo Xiao shook his head and smiled, "General, I'm very sorry, my father occasionally felt the cold, and now he is still resting in the room, it is really inconvenient to meet guests, so let the two brothers entertain you on his behalf." ”

Gongsun Changfeng's face changed slightly, but quickly dispersed, "That's too unfortunate, dare to ask the Huo family master when this wind and cold will get better." ”

"This ......"

Huo Xiao shook his head in embarrassment, "This little nephew doesn't know, in fact, I also hope that his old man can wake up soon, after all, the big and small things of the Huo family need to be dealt with by his old man."

Especially the trick, my father and his old man said that as long as it is related to the trick, no matter how big or small, he must make a decision in person, he is sick, and there are a lot of things piled up over there in this trick, and now they are waiting for his old man to deal with it. ”

Gongsun Changfeng, who was just about to open his mouth to talk about the trick, smiled awkwardly, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

"In this case, I'm really sorry to disturb you, since the head of the family is in good health, then General Ben will retire first and come back to visit in the future." Gongsun Changfeng politely got up and said.

Huo Xiao got up with a smile and saw off Gongsun Changfeng, "Then the general walks slowly." ”

After Gongsun Changfeng left, Huo Xiao's face was instantly ugly, and Huo Sheng next to him said in surprise, "Let's let General Gongsun go like this, wouldn't it be too rude." ”

Huo Xiao smiled softly, "That's better than falling on the head, go, go to see my father......"

Gongsun Changfeng, who left Huo Mansion, had an extremely ugly face, and after turning around and walking into the carriage, he glanced back at the word Huo Mansion again, and his teeth itched with anger.

"General, shall we just go back like this?" The driver next to him said nervously.

"Return, this Huo Jian probably found something, and he refused to see me, but it didn't hurt, General Ben didn't believe it, without the Mo family's tricks, we wouldn't be able to kill Yin Du." Gongsun Changfeng shouted gloomily.

The carriage slowly walked in the direction of Gongsun's house, Huo Xiao and Huo Jian stood on the pavilion, looking at the carriage of Gongsun Changfeng in the distance.

The eldest young master Huo Xiao smiled softly, and arched his hand and said, "Dad, it seems that you have been suffering from the wind and cold for a long time......
