At night.

The whole city of Handan is extremely lively, there is no scorching sun, and the night wind can blow away the stuffiness of the air.

On the streets of Handan at night, there is an endless stream of pedestrians in groups of three or five.

Looking at the brightly lit restaurant, many people felt hot in their hearts, listening to the noisy and noisy sound in the restaurant, and every man's eyes showed yearning.

Bai Yan walked down the street.

Looking at the streets of Handan on the surrounding streets, it is clear that if the man has less money, it will not take a few days at all, and he will be penniless by these restaurants.

Zhao Guo encountered drought for many years, and earthquakes, the people could not survive, compared with previous years, the Zhao women who entered the restaurant were several times more than enough, and many of them had not had the opportunity to enter the restaurant.

Because there are countless restaurants here in Handan, competing with each other.

After all, if a restaurant wants to be famous, it is possible to rely on guests and wine, but more depends on the women in the restaurant.

Just like the most famous restaurant in Handan City, it is the one where the Empress Dowager Zhao of Zhao State once stayed.

On the day when King Zhao Mourning Xiang established Empress Dowager Zhao as queen, the reputation of that restaurant spread out of Zhao State.

Behind that restaurant, I heard that it was the Zhao Guozong family.

"Gentleman, it's here!"

After seeing a towering restaurant, Ye hurriedly said to Bai Yan.

Compared with other restaurants, the red attic is one layer higher, full of red cloth hanging on the eaves, with the dim lighting, I have to say that compared to other restaurants, this red attic is more attractive.

Outside the restaurant.

Wu Cheng had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Bai Yan, he hurriedly stepped forward.

"Mr. Xu!"

Wu Cheng smiled at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan also returned the salute.

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, made gestures to each other, and walked towards the restaurant together.

Ye and Jue looked at the two Zhao women who had been following Wu Cheng, and felt that their mouths were dry, but fortunately, they knew in their hearts that the most important thing was to protect the general, so they quickly came back to their senses.

Inside the restaurant.

As soon as Bai Yan entered, he saw many women coming and going in the aisle of the restaurant, serving wine and food.

It wasn't until he came to a private room on the fourth floor that Bai Yan stopped and handed over a piece of gold cake from his arms.

"You two go open a room next to it!"

Bai Yan handed over the golden cake to Ye and Jue.

Such a move, not to mention the two Zhao women who have been leading the way, that is, Wu Cheng, were all taken aback by Bai Yan's magnanimity.

Give the entourage a private room!

Such arrogance, even he has never seen it!

"Thank you!"

"Thank you!!"

Ye and Jue thanked Bai Yan, then glanced at each other and couldn't help laughing.

"Please!"

Bai Yan turned around and said to Wu Cheng, who had a sluggish face.

Looking at Wu Cheng's appearance, Bai Yan couldn't help but laugh in his heart, when he came just now, except for a string of coins, all the other small coins were placed at home, and more was gold.

In order to let Wu Cheng see his financial resources.

That's a lot of money.

But karma and qi are not his subordinates, and the gold is not spent this time.

"Please!"

Wu Cheng came back to his senses, looked at Bai Yan, and hurriedly motioned to enter the private room together.

Inside the private room.

Bai Yan glanced around quietly, and then followed Wu Cheng to the wooden table and sat down on his knees.

The two slightly beautiful Zhao girls knelt on Wu Cheng's left and right, but at the table on Bai Yan's side, there was only Bai Yan alone.

See this scene.

If it were to be replaced by other talented scholars, it is estimated that his face would be embarrassed, but Bai Yan was not in a hurry, this Wu Cheng was obviously looking for food for others, and among the three of them that day, only this Wu Cheng was the first to hear the meaning of his words.

Such a person, since he invited him to this restaurant to drink, he would never deliberately embarrass himself in these little things.

A moment later.

When Bai Yan was greeting Wu Cheng, the door of the private room slowly opened, and a beautiful woman dressed in red slowly walked into the private room.

Similar to other restaurant women, the woman showed a little white and tender shoulders, and with that delicate and beautiful face, I have to say that it makes people shine.

Even the first time Bai Yan saw this woman, he couldn't help but muttered a goblin in his heart.

Bai Yan frowned slightly.

I was very puzzled in my heart, how could such a woman be in a restaurant, you must know that Handan, as the capital of Zhao State, has countless nobles and nobles, and all businessmen from all over the world come to Handan.

It is impossible for such a woman that no one is willing to spend a lot of money to redeem her.

Bai Yan had never seen the appearance of Empress Dowager Zhao, but the woman in front of her was no worse than the Tyrant family.

Accompanied by footsteps.

Bai Yan looked at the woman in red, walked to his side, and then poured himself wine.

smelling a faint fragrance, although he didn't know the origin of this woman, but inadvertently saw the eyes in the woman's eyes, Bai Yan had already guessed in his heart that the origin of this woman was definitely not ordinary.

"If you don't tell the calendar, Zixiao won't be able to drink this wine! The only way to say goodbye is to say goodbye. ”

Bai Yan watched the woman in red pour the wine and said softly.

In this unfamiliar place, when he met such a woman with an obvious background, he didn't dare to drink this wine.

If he had given some medicine, he would have been at a loss the next day.

Inside the private room.

Wu Cheng, who was sitting opposite Bai Yan, heard Bai Yan's words and looked at Bai Yan with surprise, but it was the woman in red with the same complexion.

"Boring!"

As she spoke, the woman in red put down the flask that poured wine for the young man.

For the young man's words, the woman in red was not surprised, when she heard Wu Yun say that the young man next to her was careful and cautious, those villagers were seen at a glance by the young man that it was wrong.

"Junzi Xu, this is Princess Zhao Qiu of Zhao Kingdom!"

Wu Cheng heard the words of the woman in red, sat up straight, and introduced Bai Yan.

When Bai Yan heard Wu Cheng's words, his heart was full of surprise.

Looking at the woman in red beside her, Bai Yan didn't expect that it was actually the princess of Zhao Kingdom.

"Zixiao, I've seen Princess Zhao!"

Bai Yan turned around and bowed to the woman beside him.

I didn't know his identity before, but now that I know, I naturally want to salute.

"Zhao Qiu heard that Xu Junzi came to Zhao to sell grain, I don't know how much grain Xu Junzi has?"

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan and asked softly.

As for Zhao Qiu's straightforward and direct inquiry, after Bai Yan finished his salute, he put down his hand and thought about it.

"Then let's see how high the mountain of Princess Zhao Qiu is, and whether it can protect Zixiao's life!"

Bai Yan said.

In Bai Yan's heart, in fact, trading with Gongzi Jia is the best, but the sudden arrival of this Princess Zhao can also give him a chance.

After all, there are many ways to discord, and this Princess Zhao is also one of them.

"Oh, then Junzi Xu thinks, is Zhao Qiu's mountain high enough?"

When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, he took the wine that had just been poured out, approached Bai Yan closely, and asked lightly.

Feeling the young man's body stiffen, the corners of Zhao Qiu's mouth rose slightly, and he muttered again.

"Is it high enough?"

Zhao Qiuqiao put her face on the young man's shoulder, raised it slightly, and watched the young man's reaction with interest.

On the other side, Wu Cheng had already lowered his head, stretched out his hand to hug the two women left and right.

Listening to Princess Zhao Qiu's soft voice, Wu Cheng was short of breath, and while no one was paying attention on the other side, he stroked the woman beside him fiercely.

Although Wu Cheng reads poetry and books, Wu Cheng has always had thoughts about Zhao Qiu in his heart.

Zhao Qiu's already attractive posture made people can't help but want to grab the bed to enjoy it, not to mention, coupled with his status as a princess, this made his heart beat faster.

Fortunately, Wu Cheng understands his identity.

"Princess Zhao should say it clearly! If you don't even have your life, no matter how high the mountain is, it is not where Zixiao lives! ”

Bai Yan looked at the wine lord that Zhao Qiu handed to his lips, and raised his hand to stop it, not wanting to drink it.

To be honest, whether it was a restaurant or other places he had been to, Bai Yan had never met a woman as dissolute as Zhao Qiu.

Feeling the softness of the touch of his arm, Bai Yan was not a saint, so it was impossible not to react.

However, Bai Yan knows better in his heart that unlike ordinary women, the more a woman with status, she will also seduce people, and the more difficult it is to mess with such a woman.

Empress Dowager Xuan, Empress Dowager Zhao Ji, and now the Empress Dowager in Handan's palace, which one is not romantic, and the body is their most powerful means.

This Zhao princess Zhao Qiu.

You are a princess, but she is so good at using beauty, and I don't know how many men have been tricked behind this.

"I can protect you, but only if you are qualified!"

Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words.

Although she was still leaning on the young man's shoulder like a beautiful sister, the smile on Zhao Qiu's face had gradually disappeared.

Beautiful eyes looked at the young man's side face, waiting for the young man's words.

"How much is eligible?"

Bai Yan asked.

As soon as the words fell, I heard Zhao Qiu say softly: "Do you think that how much grain will make the Qin State want your life?" ”

When Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu's words, he looked at Zhao Qiu with surprise, but he didn't expect to be surrounded by this woman in the end.

Ask yourself, if he has no food in his hand, hearing Zhao Qiu's ridicule, he will really end up blushing for a while.

But fortunately, Bai Yan is really not short of food.

Inside the private room.

Bai Yan didn't answer Zhao Qiu in a hurry, but thought about it at the end, whether to cooperate with this Zhao Qiu.

This woman is really incomprehensible.

Then, Bai Yan, who had thought clearly, raised a hand under the gaze of Zhao Qiu and Wu Cheng.

Zhao Qiu frowned slightly, and even Wu Cheng was full of disappointment.

"Five thousand stones!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.

In the end, after weighing the pros and cons, Bai Yan still decided to wait and see, the first time he met this Princess Zhao, without being familiar with the other party, Bai Yan thought about waiting, and then wait and see.

His goal is still Childe Jia, and it would be best if he could directly contact Childe Jia.

"Five thousand stones!!"

Wu Cheng, who was already disappointed, almost stood up when he heard Bai Yan's words, startling the two Zhao girls beside him.

Wu Cheng didn't expect that Xu Zixiao's scholar clan had so much grain and grass, after all, this was not money.

A whole 5,000 stones!

When Zhao Qiu heard Bai Yan's words, her beautiful eyes were stunned, and she looked at the young man in front of her with surprise, she didn't expect that this young man had so much grain and grass in his hands.

No wonder I am afraid that the Qin State will know, this number of grain and grass will be sent to the Zhao State, if the Qin State knows, it will indeed make the Qin State kill a hundred examples.

Zhao Qiu didn't expect that there would be such a huge harvest after this trip.

"Five thousand stones! Zixiao is really surprising! ”

Zhao Qiu said softly, and the smile that had disappeared reappeared on his amazing face.

Bai Yan looked at Zhao Qiu.

"If Princess Zhao is willing to shelter Zixiao, Zixiao is willing to send five thousand stone of grain to Zhao State."

Bai Yan raised his thoughts and smiled, and asked.

Hear the words.

Zhao Qiu smiled, got up and did a good job, and didn't continue to play.

"Five thousand stone of grain, how much gold do you want?"

Zhao Qiu asked Bai Yan what price he wanted.

Zhao Qiu knows that if the price of grain is not high in a year when the wind and rain are good, but now that there is a drought year after year, the situation in Zhao Guo is destined to raise the price of people like Xu Zixiao.

Zhao Qiu didn't mind either.

For the current Zhao State, money is not the first place, the most important thing is food.

"According to the current grain price of Zhao State, you can give it to Zixiao!"

Bai Yan said.

Bai Yan's words made Zhao Qiu and Wu Cheng's faces change slightly, and now the price of grain outside Handan has already been more than ten times.

In other words, a stone of grain and grass in Xu Zixiao's hand in front of him will cost 500 yuan.

"Too much! If that's the case, why don't you just go and buy the food in Handan City, and buy yours! ”

Zhao Qiuxian picked up the wine lord on the table with his hand, and was very dissatisfied with Bai Yan's offer.

And Zhao Qiu's appearance, Bai Yan is not surprised.

"Although there is grain for sale in Handan City, I don't dare to make a big show, let alone sell it to the princess!"

Bai Yan said the reason and continued to analyze: "Second, the princess should know better than Zixiao about today's situation, the capable country does not lend grain to the Zhao State, and the big clan of more than 5,000 stone grain and grass is carefully watched by the Qin State, and does not dare to transport grain. ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Yan turned his head to look at Zhao Qiu.

"Zixiao has 5,000 stones of grain and grass, and he has traveled thousands of miles to come to Zhao State, so he deserves this benefit!"

Bai Yan said with a smile.

Now that Zhao Guo is short of food, Bai Yan knows in his heart that he is not afraid that Zhao Qiu will not agree.

After all, the scholars who can take out 5,000 stones at one time are either stared at, or they don't dare, and there is no way to send them to Zhao in the Chu State.

No matter how expensive it is, Zhao Qiu has to take it from him.

Inside the private room.

Seeing that the atmosphere was quiet, Bai Yan was not in a hurry to speak, the conditions had already been opened, and the rest was up to Princess Zhao Qiu.

It wasn't until a moment that Bai Yan heard Zhao Qiu sigh.

"Too much!"

Hearing Zhao Qiu's words, Bai Yan also shook his head.

"Not much, in Zhao State, whether Zixiao is looking for those scholars or looking for the Zhao State clan, they will not hesitate to buy the grain in Zixiao's hands, and then make double profits from other places!"

Bai Yan said.

And Bai Yan's words made Zhao Qiu breathe rapidly, turned his head slightly, and looked at Bai Yan with beautiful eyes.

She knew that this young man named Xu Zixiao was telling the truth.

"You"

The corners of Zhao Qiu's mouth rose, and he stepped forward again, approaching Bai Yan.

This time, the distance between her and Bai Yan's cheeks was much closer.

"Don't you be afraid, you can't get out of Handan?"

Zhao Qiu came to Bai Yan and stared at Bai Yan with smiling eyes.

Bai Yan didn't know that Zhao Qiu had already revealed the cold side of his heart by his own words.

"Zixiao is not worthy of the princess's bad reputation of Zhao State, after all, Zixiao's death is small, and the people of all countries are cold, Zixiao's life is not worth letting Zhao fall into injustice, Zhao State was attacked by Qin State, if it falls into injustice again."

Bai Yan pretended to be kind advice, and then said the last two words: "Death~!" ”

Bai Yan's words came out.

Even Wu Cheng, who was sitting on the wooden table opposite, was taken aback by Bai Yan's words, and looked at Bai Yan with shock.

dared to threaten Princess Zhao in front of Princess Zhao, and said that Zhao would die.

Xu Zixiao was the first person he had ever met.

"Okay, I'll give it to you!"

Zhao Qiumei looked at Bai Yan with straight eyes and said with a smile.

"Thank you!"

Bai Yan arched his hand, and then said to Zhao Qiu: "When will the princess prepare the money, and when will the grain and grass enter Zhao!" ”

Zhao Qiu looked at Bai Yan.

"Okay, in two days, I'll let Wu Yun bring it to you!"

Bai Yan was very surprised when he heard Wu Yun's name.

However, at this time, Zhao Qiu had already gotten up.

Inside the private room.

Looking at Zhao Qiu's departing back, Bai Yan turned his head and looked at the wine lord on the table.

When he handed over the two boxes of gold to Tai Jing, he didn't know that the price of grain and grass in Zhao was so high.

In the Qin State, one stone of grain, thirty-six coins.

Sent to Handan, five hundred dollars a stone, there is still no price, each stone has a net profit of four hundred and sixty yuan, counting the losses along the way, the rest is also a huge number.

When the two boxes of gold are exchanged for grain and grass, I am afraid that he has already obtained more than ten boxes of gold in Handan.

But what surprised him the most was that Wu Yun actually had a relationship with Zhao Qiu.
