Mayor Chai snorted coldly: "All in all, although Blackwater Town is closed now, isn't it good that the townspeople can be fed and clothed?" ”

"Knock knock!"

Just then, there was another knock on the door.

Chai Qingshan said angrily: "Come in!" ”

It was Chai Xiaoliu who pushed the door in, and after seeing Chai Feng here, he sneered and said.

"Chai Feng, I knew you were here, I heard what you just said, Uncle Chai Feng, I think you are real, you were deceived by that woman's words!"

Chai Qingshan looked at Chai Xiaoliu and asked, "Chai Xiaoliu, what do you mean?" You don't agree with Chai Feng's proposal? ”

Chai Xiaoliu hurriedly said: "I don't agree!" Mayor Town, I think our Blackwater Town is doing well now, why do business with these outsiders? There is no good thing for these people outside. ”

"I think this person named Shen Yingniang doesn't know how to lift, in the future, if they want to pass by us, they will be Lei Gong Express or someone who has a relationship with her, and we will charge double the money."

"We must let them remember it for a long time, isn't that woman quite angry anyway? Didn't you say that you were quite rich? Then let's charge more! ”

Chai Xiaoliu clasped his hands, his eyes full of disdain and disdain.

"If you want me to say, those county orders who are going to do something famous in the tea town are not in the water, and they really believe a woman's words."

"Tsk, it's a shame that a group of big men are doing business behind a woman's ass! We can't be like them. ”

Chai Feng glanced at Chai Qingshan, and then at Chai Xiaoliu, knowing that it was useless to say anything now, so he didn't say anything more.

Chai Qingshan saw Chai Feng close his mouth, and did not continue to be embarrassed, but sighed and said to the two.

"All in all, there is a reason why our Blackwater Town has been closed so far, do you think I don't want to make Blackwater Town better?"

"But we have come to this point, we can only continue to close it, as for the matter of courtship, the big deal is to give more dowry in the future, I don't believe it, give more, and I can't marry a daughter-in-law, right."

Speaking of this, Chai Qingshan looked at Chai Xiaoliu and said.

"Chai Xiaoliu, you go over there to inform them, let them be vigilant recently, be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, I think, that woman is still a little not simple, we rejected her proposal this time, I don't know if she will do anything else."

Chai Xiaoliu's face was cold: "If that woman dares to have other ideas, I won't let her go first!" ”

……

The capital, the general's palace.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

The sound of fists slamming against stakes sounded tooth-sore.

The stake was originally nailed to the ground, but the blow of this fist still made the stake tremble, and the stake also left traces of depressions.

It can be seen how strong this puncher is.

"Click!"

The last punch was smashed, and the stake shattered directly.

The owner of the fist regained his luck at this time, let out a long breath, then turned around, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and strode towards the stone table not far away.

"Bang Bang!"

"Good skills!"

Lu Xuanqing applauded Yue Lingjun.

Yue Lingjun didn't look at him, Dama Jindao sat down, picked up a piece of cloth on the table and wiped it, then poured himself a cup of tea and drank it.

Seeing this, Lu Xuanqing smiled and poured tea for Yue Lingjun.

Yue Lingjun was not polite, Lu Xuanqing poured a cup and drank a cup, and it was not until he drank three cups of herbal tea that Yue Lingjun put the cup down, and his eyes swept coldly over Lu Xuanqing.

"Why haven't you left yet? Still thinking about staying and eating? ”

Lu Xuanqing smiled helplessly: "I said general, don't take the donkey so fast to unload the mill and kill the donkey, don't I accompany you to relieve your boredom?" Tell me, you have been in the capital for two days, and you have slept for two nights, and the emperor has not given you any appointment. ”

"Although it seems that you have given you a bad breath and punished a group of people who are not long-sighted, I always feel that we seem to be being used as a gun, although the Nine Emperor Princes were punished by the emperor this time, but in fact, the punishment is not heavy."

"It's nothing more than being cut off by the emperor some of the helpers who are quite effective in the court, and then letting him think about it in the palace, this punishment is like no punishment, and it also makes the Nine Emperor Princes hate you."

Lu Xuanqing laughed, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of his eyes.

"After all, if you hadn't stabbed this matter out, the Nine Emperor Princes would not have been punished, even if it wasn't you who were doing things behind your back, but who made you the wrongdoer? The Nine Emperor Princes can't find the person behind the evil, so they can only spill their anger on you. ”

Yue Lingjun sneered: "Even if the Nine Emperor Princes want to be angry, then the first person to find should be the crown prince, what does it have to do with me?" ”

"After all, after the crown prince was punished by the Nine Emperor Princes, the limelight rose again, whether it was the prince's hand or not, the Nine Emperor Princes should hate the most, isn't he the one he should hate?"

Lu Xuanqing laughed: "The general is worthy of being a general!" It's just that I'm quick-witted, and I thought of the key point all of a sudden, and I can't fool you anymore. ”

"But it's a fact that you're sitting on a cold bench in the capital now, isn't the general really in a hurry? It's not the same thing to practice boxing in your own general's mansion every day. ”

Yue Lingjun sneered, pushed the teacup in his hand forward, Lu Xuanqing poured him another cup of herbal tea, and Yue Lingjun took it and took a sip.

"The whole Great Xia is the emperor, the emperor is not in a hurry, what am I anxious about? The emperor is willing to let me sit on the cold bench, then I will sit on the cold bench, and didn't the Jackdaw Pass suddenly calm down? ”

"Although there is no specific information sent back, but there is nothing new under the sun, I guess that there should be a problem within the barbarians, didn't you send a message to me before, the barbarian princes are very discordant."

"It seems that not only is there corruption in the Great Xia Imperial Court, but there are also people in this barbarian clan who are dragging each other back, so it makes it easier for those of us who rushed to the front."

Yue Lingjun rarely showed such a mean and mocking expression, but when he showed it at the moment, it didn't make people feel annoying.

Lu Xuanqing followed with a smile and said: "That's right, whether it's Great Xia or the barbarians, there are always some bastards who can't see the good of their own people, but the situation in the frontier is different after all." ”

"It's a battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, who knows when there will be a sudden unity within the barbarians? When the time comes, it is also possible to break through the Jackdaw Pass in one go. ”

"I believe that you understand this truth, and the emperor also understands it, but now it seems that the emperor just has to let you lower your head first, and you are desperate to make the emperor bow your head first, only me, who is caught in the middle, is difficult to do."

Lu Xuanqing poured himself another cup of tea and sipped it gently, although his tone was full of complaints, but his expression was leisurely, he was really not in a hurry, where was there a little embarrassment?

Yue Lingjun said expressionlessly: "If it's just that the emperor wants me to bow my head, then what if I bow down, but you know that this is not the case, all over the capital is looking at my attitude, if I really bow my head, they will think that I am weak and can be bullied, and when I receive the holy decree to go to the frontier, I am afraid that the real trouble will not begin." ”

Taking a deep breath, Yue Lingjun's tone was cold.

"Whether it's food and grass or support, these guys, I'm afraid they will want to get in the way, I have to let them know one thing, I can go to the border, but no one can stumble on me, so this head, resolutely can't be low."

"Otherwise, even if I win the battle in the frontier, I will lose in the capital, I don't care about any glory and wealth, what I care about is whether the emperor has the same heart with me when I go out, and whether the court has the same heart with me."

"And whether the people have the same heart as me, the soldiers of the frontier, it is not worth dying to the bottom, they can die on the battlefield, under the hooves of the enemy, but they must not die in the hands of their own people! You know what I mean, right? ”

Lu Xuanqing sighed: "You said it so clearly, I said I didn't understand, so didn't I become the prime minister in vain?" ”

Lu Xuanqing's face also turned cold.

"Don't worry, I'm just saying, if you want to bow your head, I won't let you bow down, before going to the frontier, you have to settle the rear first, otherwise it's really like you said, it's not worth dying."

Silence spread suddenly, neither of them spoke, but tacitly understood what the other meant.

Perhaps, this is a tacit understanding.

At this moment, the housekeeper suddenly walked over, came to Yue Lingjun's side and said, "General, there are guests visiting, and Pingbo Houfu has sent something again, but this time it is Young Master Yue Jiye." ”

Yue Lingjun frowned: "Didn't you say it?" No one is coming, let him go. ”

The housekeeper was a little embarrassed: "But general, the little young master seems to be very persistent, saying that if he doesn't see you, he won't leave, you see, do you want to ...... this?"

"I said, no, let him go!"

Yue Lingjun spoke again, and his tone was a little more stern.

The butler didn't dare to say more, and after bowing respectfully, he turned around and went out.

Only then did Lu Xuanqing open his mouth and smile: "Isn't the general too indifferent like this?" Anyway, that's your younger brother who has been hurting for more than ten years, and people are worried about your brother, as soon as you arrive in the capital, they want to come to see you, and you don't even show your face, doesn't this make your brother anxious? ”

"Or ...... Is it okay to meet in person? It's really not good, leave the gifts given by others, that loser goes out to visit the Qinglou and spends a lot of money, and he won't be stingy if he wants to send you something, rather than letting him take this thing back to your stepfather and stepmother, it's better to accept it and buy yourself more weapons. ”

Yue Lingjun glanced at Lu Xuanqing coldly: "What brother?" I admit it, that is the weakness, if I have no one close to me in the capital, I can't splash the water here, if I have a weakness, others can't start from me, they will start from Yue Jiye. ”

"That's it, anyway, the people in the capital think that I have broken off with Pingbo Houfu, and even my younger brother, who used to belove, has been excluded by me, so no one will think about him, which is good."

Yue Lingjun said it easily, but Lu Xuanqing couldn't help but sigh.

"You, just have a hard mouth, do you think that others can't see your thoughts? If you can't hide it from me, others can hide it, your attitude towards Pingbo Houfu, I think everyone in the capital understands. ”

"But what is your attitude towards this little guy Yue Jiye, I think there are always a few people in the capital who understand it, and there is really no need to be so harsh."

Yue Lingjun glared at him angrily.

"If you talk nonsense, get me out!"

Lu Xuanqing said helplessly: "Forget it, I don't care about your bad housework, anyway, it's your own brother, and you don't even want to see yourself, what's the use of me as an outsider talking?" ”

Lu Xuanqing sighed: "Forget it, I won't say it, don't be angry with me, you're right, okay?" ”
