Chapter Twenty-Three: Unwilling to Get Involved in Strife
He nodded and turned around and went into the house.
And Xu Zilin was also drinking at this time.
Of course, it was the fruit wine that I made myself.
"Recently, there are more and more outsiders coming to Penglai County."
Xu Zilin shook the wine in his glass and looked at the sky.
Such a starry sky is difficult to see under the subsequent environmental pollution.
So if Xu Zilin is usually idle at night, he still likes to watch the night sky.
"But the county order, there are more outsiders who come to Penglai County, doesn't it just give us the name of Penglai County? Wouldn't there be more and more wealthy businessmen at that time, and the development of our Penglai County will be getting better and better? ”
Li Da, who was standing on the side, said to Xu Zilin with some puzzlement.
He didn't know what Xu Zilin was thinking.
"It's just that there are more and more outsiders, and maybe some people from the royal family will know the situation of our Penglai County, if they know that our small county is even more prosperous than their capital, guess what will happen."
Xu Zilin turned his head to look at Li Da.
His eyes were dark and shiny in the light of the night sky.
Li Da hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"If the royal family finds out, I'm afraid they will do everything possible to solicit the county order, hoping that the county order will do things for them?"
Xu Zilin nodded slightly.
"Yes, that's a situation, but at the same time, if I stand in line, then those who want my assistance but can't get me will definitely want to kill me."
Xu Zilin smiled bitterly, raised his head and drank the wine in his hand.
"But if the county order is already in line, then no matter who this person is, he will definitely keep the county order."
Xu Zilin shook his head.
"He can keep it, but no one can be sure that he will be able to save me."
Xu Zilin was a little helpless.
Now there are even many people who assassinate the emperor.
What's more, it's just a small prefectural order.
Li Da didn't speak anymore, he lowered his head and thought about the deep meaning of Xu Zilin's words.
"The county order, the distinguished guest who bought a large number of flame foals a few days ago is waiting to see you at the door."
On the side, the catcher came to Xu Zilin's side and said to him.
Xu Zilin turned his head with some surprise in his eyes and looked at the catcher who came to report.
"The two distinguished guests are here again?"
"Yes."
Xu Zilin looked at the bottles of wine in the corner with some helplessness.
"Didn't they just come today, why did they come again?"
Xu Zilin said to himself.
However, it is obvious that neither Li Da nor Catch Fast can answer Xu Zilin's question.
He thought about it, and suddenly he understood something.
Xu Zilin chuckled lightly and turned his head to look at the catcher.
"Let him come."
Caught quickly and then retreated.
Xu Zilin turned his head to look at Li Da.
"Li Da, what do you think are the identities of these two distinguished guests?"
"County Order, why do you ask this, are their identities unusual?"
Li Da was a little puzzled.
He still knew too little.
Including Xu Zilin and Zhu Di, when they talked together, Li Da didn't know those contents.
In other words, even if he knew, he would not necessarily understand the deep meaning of these words, let alone doubt Zhu Di's identity.
"They are people from the DPRK and China, and as for what their identity is, I can't make up my mind yet."
A hint of surprise flashed in Li Da's eyes, he took a step forward, and said in disbelief: "County order, these people have come here again and again, shouldn't they have any ideas?" ”
Xu Zilin nodded.
"Of course, if they didn't have any ideas, they wouldn't have asked to see me all the time."
As he spoke, Xu Zilin had already seen the figure walking towards this side.
It was Zhu Di and Ji Gang.
"You go first, just let the two of them come alone."
Li Da turned his head to look over, and he just happened to see the two people walking towards this side.
"Then the county order, I'll go first."
After Li Da finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Xu Zilin still drank the wine in his hand unhurriedly.
After Zhu Di and Ji Gang arrived at the pavilion, they saw the wine bottle placed on the table at a glance.
"What happened to the two distinguished guests who came late at night? You can't come to talk to me about development and cooperation at night. ”
Xu Zilin looked at Zhu Di and Ji Gang in front of him with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Zhu Di did not answer Xu Zilin's words, but squatted down and took a bottle of wine before sitting opposite Xu Zilin.
"Xu County Order, the two of us just went to the bar today, and we also drank these wines, I heard that these wines are from the hands of the county order?"
Zhu Di said as he opened the wine and took a sip directly.
Xu Zilin did not have the slightest reluctance on his face.
After all, Zhu Di had already given so much silver to himself, so it didn't hurt to invite him to drink a bottle of wine.
It's just that Xu Zilin really can't figure out Zhu Di's thoughts.
"Exactly, but what is the purpose of this question?"
Zhu Di chuckled.
"I want to do this business, I don't know if the county order is willing to let me take over."
When Xu Zilin heard this, his face changed suddenly.
He sat up straight and stared at Zhu Di in front of him.
After a long time, I slowly spit out a few words.
"Why?"
Zhu Di chuckled lightly.
He also thought about it all the way on the way here, and he was already planning to confess his identity to Xu Zilin.
Of course, he doesn't intend to say that he is Zhu Di and the current emperor.
"I'll tell you the truth, I am indeed a royal child, my surname is Zhu, and I know that you don't want the entire Penglai County to be too famous, but your ability is only displayed in Penglai County, which is a little too condescending."
Xu Zilin didn't speak, he just looked at Zhu Di.
"I can help you open up the line and let these drinks be sold in the capital, of course, the price can be increased by one liter, after all, there are many rich people in the capital."
Zhu Di continued to say to Xu Zilin.
He knew that Xu Zilin was greedy for money, but although he was greedy for money, all he got was serious income.
So Zhu Di has no doubt that he will be able to convince Xu Zilin.
Sure enough, when Zhu Di said that the price could be increased by one liter, Xu Zilin's eyes lit up.
But he was soon pressed down.
"Royal son, Zhu family, it seems that it is not an accident that you came here for the first time, did you hear some rumors outside and deliberately came to look for me?"
Xu Zilin muttered.
Zhu Di shook his head.
"No, it was indeed an accident when I first came, but Penglai County, which I accidentally discovered when I was playing outside, was not here for you."
Xu Zilin stared at Zhu Di's eyes, and after a few seconds, he probably knew that Zhu Di was telling the truth.
He turned his head to look at Ji Gang on the side.
"And what is his identity?"
Xu Zilin asked Ji Gang with great interest.
"I am ......"
"He's my bodyguard."
