Zhao Rang looked at the flying money pushed over by Ximen Gongzi and did not take it directly, although the other party's wording was extremely particular and thoughtful, but the last sentence made Zhao Rang have to think deeply.

Obviously, Ximen Gongzi already knows the relationship between Zhao Rang and Yuan Mingkong and Yuan Kexin, as well as the true identities of these two.

To do this, it was easy for the Simon family. A family that has mastered such a huge amount of silver money can undoubtedly be described as rich and rivaled by a country. Presumably, the Simon family and Dawei are also wary of each other. After all, where there is money, there is food, and where there is food, there are soldiers. With soldiers and horses in hand, you will think about chasing deer! Otherwise, he is already so rich, why do he kneel down to a poor ghost and shout long live?

As far as Zhao Rang knew, the second generation of the Ximen family secretly established an organization similar to the Investigation Division and the Shadow Guard. Nominally, it is to check whether the business name in various places is in accordance with the rules and regulations, and whether the shopkeeper is corrupt, but in fact, it is the eyes and ears scattered all over the world, reporting the trends and situations of the world to the Simon family at any time, especially after the division of Dawei, the gap between the south and the north is becoming more and more profound, even from the perspective of a businessman, you have to listen to the news and situation at all times.

After so many generations of development, the organization has become bigger and bigger. The so-called raising flowers first consolidates the roots, and with the support of almost unlimited financial resources, it must be intertwined, and even having their own people in Ouchi is not a bizarre thing. After all, those fathers-in-law are counting on silver to make up for the lack of their bodies.

Therefore, as long as the Ximen family operates and asks who has been missing in the palace recently, which prince and princess have been out for the longest time, they can easily know the true identities of Yuan Mingkong and Yuan Kexin.

But what Zhao Rang really pondered was not this.

Businessmen are profit-seeking, and this is understandable.

The prince of a country is the cornerstone of a country, just like betting in a casino. If you bet right, you will make a lot of money, but you won't have to work again for the rest of your life. But if you bet wrong, you have to be prepared to go bankrupt.

The current emperor of Dawei was suspicious because he was betrayed by his cousins, and he couldn't believe his blood relatives, and he never established a prince.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that in the entire royal family in the northern part of Dawei, there is no one more promising than the third prince and the fifth prince. The third prince mastered the Northern Academy and served as the chief examiner of the imperial examination for the second time. The five princes have military power, and the two of them have one article and one martial arts, and they are at peace for the time being. But one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and there is only one throne, so the two will have a loser in the future.

The Simon family has been in business for generations, and they are not in the eyes of the five princes. People who were born in the army have a stubborn heroic spirit, and they don't look down on such opportunistic behavior as doing business.

But the third prince was not, he personally put down his body and made friends with the Simon family. With his influence, he solved a lot of difficulties for the Simon family and brought practical benefits. The Ximen family also reciprocated the favor, donated materials for the academy, and when the course was still open, they took the initiative to let the candidates live in the inn opened by the Ximen family for free. Everyone in the world knows that the Ximen family is pressing the treasure on the three princes, just wait for the three princes to ascend to the big treasure, the Ximen family will become the first family in the north, and no one can compete with it.

The most hopeless of the princes is Yuan Mingkong, who became brothers with Zhao Rang this time. Not to mention the real power in the hands, even the fiefs are in the territory of the "enemy country". It stands to reason that the Ximen family should not take care of Yuan Mingkong, the seventh prince at all, but the 50,000 taels of silver and the greeting just now are tantamount to releasing a signal, representing that the Ximen family wants to be friendly with him, the seventh prince who no one cares about.

The Ximen family was already firmly standing on the dragon boat of the three princes, and there was no need to risk offending him and contact other princes in private. Unless the Ximen family has some inside information and knows something that Zhao Rang doesn't know.

Ximen Gongzi saw that Zhao Rang was silent and did not urge.

If Zhao Rang nodded and responded to this matter, he would be the bridge between the Ximen family and the Seven Princes in the future, and Zhao Rang would have to think about the responsibilities and the consequences and impacts of doing this.

If he was just an ordinary charlatan, he would definitely not say a word and immediately agree. But behind Zhao Rang there is the entire Zhao family, and as the young master of the Zhao family, his every move will be implicated.

In the long run, the Ximen family has always supported the three princes, and the Zhao family, as a wealthy family in the rivers and lakes, has practiced swords for generations, so it is natural that they are close to the five princes in the army. Zhao asked his father, Old Man Zhao, to personally compile a knife book suitable for fighting in the army, and gave it to the five princes, which made him very satisfied.

is in a different camp, even if they are in the same city, they are just passable on face. As for Zhao Rang's ability to make such a good friend with Ximen Dazhuang, it was unexpected for the two families.

Time passed, and Zhao Rang had been silent for a quarter of an hour.

Suddenly, a shadow was hidden in front of him, and when he looked up, it was the main master of his rivalry with Ximen Gongzi - Yuan Mingkong.

Yuan Mingkong seemed to have specially prepared, not only combed his hair, but also changed into a very well-cut clothes. There is no ornate ornamentation or embroidery on the clothes, but those who know how to do it know that they are worth a lot of money when they look at the material and workmanship. This kind of low-key luxury shows that he, the Seventh Prince, is a person who acts steadily and does not show off.

"In Xia Yuan Mingkong!"

Yuan Mingkong followed the example of his former imperial brother and the third prince, put down his body, and took the initiative to make friends with the Ximen family.

This step was obviously not calculated by the son of Simon.

Although the other party is an idle prince with no real power, he is just a cloth cloth, and in a panic, he hurriedly returned the salute and said:

"The grass people have seen His Highness! There are many people here, for the sake of His Highness's safety, the grass people can't be polite, and I hope Your Highness will forgive your sins! ”

Yuan Mingkong smiled and said that it was okay.

Since he is willing to come in person, it means that he does not care about these worldly rules and etiquette.

In comparison, whether it is silver or empty kowtow is important, everyone understands.

After the three of them sat down again, Ximen Gongzi repeated what he had said to Zhao Rang before.

This time, he didn't let Zhao Rang say hello on his behalf, because the main owner was already sitting opposite.

Yuan Mingkong thanked him, and generously accepted the letter of 50,000 taels of silver, and Zhao Rang saw that there were also a lot of beads of sweat on the forehead of this Ximen Gongzi.

Zhao Rang speculated that he should not be ready to face Yuan Mingkong so quickly. For some reason, the Ximen family suddenly wanted to make friends with the Seventh Prince, but they were also steady and steady, step by step. But Yuan Mingkong was taken by surprise this time, and he really pinched the seven inches of Ximen's house.

In the future, when this matter is talked about, there is something to be said!

The silver was handed to Zhao Rang, how could he say that he was still a friend of Ximen Dazhuang. As a companion, Yuan Mingkong will naturally eat and drink from these 50,000 taels, but in the final analysis, the silver is collected by Zhao Rang.

Now this matter can be turned upside down.

Simon's family personally gave the Seventh Prince 50,000 taels of silver to fly money by faith, and the Seventh Prince personally received it.

Compared with the nervousness and panic of Ximen Gongzi, Yuan Mingkong was extremely calm.

After taking the flying money and relying on the letter, he put it in his arms, first thanked the head of the Ximen family for his good intentions, and then talked eloquently about the situation between the northern border of Dawei and the Western Regions today. The sharpness of the wording, the tricky angle, and the sharpness of the vision made Zhao Rang greatly impressed!

I thought to myself, this kid seems to have been in Taoguang all along.

His father, the current emperor, no matter how mediocre he is, his well-informed vision is there, so that he can't tell which of his sons has the ability.

But whenever he reveals a little bit, he will presumably get some real benefits, and the fief will not only have an empty name.

Under Yuan Mingkong's attack, this Ximen Gongzi was soon unable to parry...... Seeing the gap of a teacup, he quickly changed his words and said:

"Your Highness, Zhao Gongzi, the things you need have been prepared. In addition, a local guide was hired to take the two of them over Songtao Mountain to the other three countries of the Four Kingdoms in the Western Regions. ”

Of course, Yuan Mingkong knew what he meant, so he also got off the donkey, and after thanking him again, he asked Ximen Gongzi to ask for help.

Ximen Gongzi left with a sigh of relief, and he didn't bother to say hello to his brother.

Ximen Dazhuang, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, didn't see anything, he just felt that everyone was a good friend and a good brother, and a group of harmony was necessary and deserved. On the contrary, Zhao Rang hesitated there for a long time before, which made him a little unhappy.

At this moment, as soon as his brother left, Simon Dazhuang asked:

"Brother Jean, what were you rubbing just now, isn't it just 50,000 taels of silver?"

Zhao Rang glanced at Ximen Dazhuang a little tiredly, and didn't know how to explain it to him, so he asked:

"Are you determined to go all the way with us?"

Simon raised his voice and said:

"Then what else! Brothers, can I leave you behind and go back to playing? ”

Zhao Rang sighed, ignored him anymore, and then turned his gaze to Yuan Mingkong.

"I don't want you to be embarrassed, in this case, won't it have nothing to do with you?"

Yuan Mingkong said directly.

Ximen Dazhuang couldn't understand what the two were talking about anymore, and this feeling made him very unhappy. But before he could understand, Zhao Rang got up, pulled him out, and asked him to count the materials he had prepared again.

"What is there to count here, what is missing, what to buy!"

Zhao Rang slapped him on the head on tiptoe and scolded:

"Where do you buy it in the deep mountains and old forests?"

"Just you have the money?"

After that, he was so angry that he kicked Simon Da Zhuang's ass:

"I'll beat you rich man! I'll beat you up a rich man! ”

The two chased after each other for a while, and Ximen Dazhuang's clan brother came with a person who looked like the Western Regions, and introduced that this person was the guide he had specially found. His mother is from the Western Regions, and his father is from Dawei, and the local name is "Second Rotor".

Zhao Rang stared for a moment, always feeling that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. After all, people in the Western Regions have high nose bridges and deep eye sockets, which are difficult to distinguish at first glance.
