"Haha...... Now that the big thing has been decided, the official can go back and report to the prime minister. ”

In the meditation room, Shen Dongshan and Jia Shilang fought wits and courage, bargained, and discussed for two hours. It wasn't until noon that the two of them agreed on an opinion, and at the same time they each secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, Shen Dongshan didn't dare to offend the imperial court in his bones, and the reason why he was dealing with Jia Shilang was just to get more benefits from the imperial court.

On the other hand, Jia Shilang did not dare to provoke Shen Dongshan. The prime minister has already ordered that if Jia Shilang does not give an inch and falls out with Shen Dongshan instead, then after returning to Lin'an, he will also not have good fruits to eat.

Therefore, the two finally gave in to each other and ended up in harmony, which is undoubtedly the best result for each other.

"Lord Jia came from afar, why not rest in Jinling for a few days, so that Shen can fulfill the friendship of the landlord. Shen Dongshan said with a greeting.

Jia Shilang smiled bitterly and waved his hand again and again, and said: "With official business, how dare this official delay? What's more, the Prime Minister is still waiting for this official to return to his life in Lin'an." So ......"

As for this, Jia Shilang's eyes rolled slightly, and the corners of his mouth flashed with an indescribable strange smile, and he said meaningfully: "So early tomorrow morning, this official will set off to rush back to Lin'an." Listening to his tone, it seemed a little helpless and bitter.

Shen Dongshan knew that Jia Shilang had something to say, but he pretended to be confused, and still drank tea by himself with a smile.

"Alas!" Jia Shilang stretched out his hand and patted his thigh, pretending to be regretful, "I have heard that 'Jiangnan is a beautiful land, Jinling Imperial Prefecture. 'This official has not had the opportunity to experience the prosperity of Jinling for ten years and eight years, and now he has finally arrived here, but he ...... Alas!"

Seeing Jia Shilang's remorseful appearance of beating his chest, Shen Dongshan smiled slightly, then put down the teacup unhurriedly, put his right hand lightly on Jia Shilang's arm, and said with a mysterious smile: "Although Lord Jia only stopped in Jinling for one day, Shen is not talented, and he also does his best to let adults experience the prosperity and prosperity of 'Jiangnan Beauty, Jinling Imperial State'." ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Jia Shilang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said curiously, "What does Master Shen mean ......?"

"Shen is in the north of Jinling City, the most prosperous area, there is a Wanxian Tower, which can be called 'heaven and earth, rich and blissful country'. Shen Dong smiled evilly, "Not only are the best among the beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, but also the stunning beauties from all over the world." Ring fat swallow thin, peach and willow charming, fairy jade, national color and heavenly fragrance...... Warblers, warblers, swallows, everything. They are not Qinglou women, and they don't accept guests on weekdays, but only for Shen to drive. But all of them are excellent in color and art, talented and beautiful, all of them are stunners in the world, and they are the best beauties."

Hearing this, Feng Tianba's eyes couldn't help but have a strange look, while Jia Shilang subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of spit, and couldn't wait to smile and ask: "What a 'heaven and earth, rich and blissful country'." I just don't know...... How many beauties are there in this Ten Thousand Immortal Tower?"

"There are hundreds, to say the least. Shen Dongshan seemed to be very satisfied with Jia Shilang's reaction, and said with a light smile, "And each has its own charm, all of them are different." ”

"Count...... Hundreds?"

Jia Shilang's eyes changed, he was surprised in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but salivate, and his face was extremely greedy.

"Master Shen, although you are not an immortal, you live a life like a fairy...... is so carefree, I am afraid that even the current saint ...... It's hard to compare to ......."

"Lord Jia has been raised, how dare he compare with the Son of Heaven. Shen Dongshan waved his hand and said modestly, "Shen has ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and first wash the dust for Lord Jia and Feng Guards." In the next day and night, the two of you can taste the world's delicacies in the mountains of Wanlou, hug left and right, and enjoy the blessings of all people......!

"Those beauties......"

"Although Jia Shilang chooses at will, there is no need to have the slightest taboo. Shen Dongshan smiled nonchalantly.

"Oops!" Jia Shilang hurriedly got up and arched his hand to Shen Dongshan again and again, "Master Shen is so loving, I'm afraid this official won't be able to leave Wanxian Tower tomorrow, haha......"

"What's the matter if you can't get out? Shen ordered someone to prepare the frame, and then sent someone to carry the adult back to Lin'an. ”

Hearing this, Shen Dongshan and Jia Shilang glanced at each other, and then laughed out loud.

"Master Jia, I don't go to that kind of place......"

"Tianba!" Without waiting for Feng Tianba to open his mouth to refuse, Jia Shilang's eyes sank, and he shouted, "Master Shen's kindness, how dare you not know how to lift?"

Feng Tianba saw that Jia Shilang was already confused at the moment, so he couldn't help but snort coldly, and turned to the side, simply not saying more.

"Someone!" Shen Dongshan commanded loudly, "Take Lord Jia to bathe and change clothes first, and then set up a banquet in Wanxian Tower." ”

"Yes!"

With the joyful mutual greetings of everyone, Jia Shilang and Feng Tianba were invited out of the meditation room and disappeared from Shen Dongshan's field of vision with great interest.

"Master, this guy surnamed Jia is really not a thing!" Kui Qi said contemptuously, "Such a greedy and lustful person who is eager for quick success, why should the master bother him?"

Shen Dongshan smiled: "I'm not talking to him, but to the court." ”

"The Imperial Court?"

"Not bad!" Shen Dongshan slowly put away the smile on his face, and said with a straight face, "You should see everything today." Temples and rivers and lakes seem to be two unrelated places, as if the well water does not interfere with the river water, but in fact it is not. On weekdays, although the imperial court does not interfere in the grievances of the rivers and lakes, it is closely watching the every move of the heroes of the rivers and lakes. As long as there is a slight disturbance in the rivers and lakes, the imperial court will immediately know about it, and will use some little-known secret means to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages in secret, and control the tangible with the invisible, so that it seems that the imperial court has nothing to do with the people in the rivers and lakes, but in fact, the heroes of the rivers and lakes are all in a big game of chess laid by the imperial court, and no one can get out, but they themselves are unaware. ”

Hearing this, Kui Qi's eyes couldn't help but burst out with a look of surprise, and he exclaimed: "That Luo Tianjin, Jin Fuyu and the like, ......"

"Although he is a martial arts hero, he is far from being able to compete with the imperial court. Shen Dongshan said quietly, "No matter how strong the Jianghu sect is, it can only occupy a corner of the place and gather thousands of people. But the imperial court is different, the imperial court is the power of the whole country and holds hundreds of millions of people. Just imagine, attacking a corner of the whole country and controlling thousands of hundreds with hundreds of trillions, who will win or lose?"

"Of course it's the ...... of the imperial court," Kui Qiman suddenly woke up and said in shock, "I understand! So compared with Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu, what the lord really cares about is the prime minister and Jia Shilang, the court officials. On weekdays, you call those people in the rivers and lakes brothers, but it's just a show. In the final analysis, the real backer of the lord is the Great Song court. ”

"Yes and not quite. Shen Dongshan shook his head and said, "Only relying on the imperial court, I will be at the mercy of people everywhere, and my hard-earned hard-earned money will be honored to corrupt officials like Jia Shilang nine times out of ten, otherwise there will be no way to live." So I need the heroes of the rivers and lakes to check and balance the imperial court, so that these court officials will not dare to act rashly against me. But relying only on the power of the rivers and lakes, Dongshan Firm will also be suppressed by the imperial court, and will never become the first merchant in the Great Song Dynasty, and I will never sit on the throne of the richest man in the Great Song Dynasty. ”

After saying that, Shen Dongshan's eyes moved, and he muttered to himself in his words: "There are no absolutes in the world, and today's Great Song Dynasty court is already suffering from internal and external troubles, with many disasters, serious illnesses, and lingering for breath, and its deterrence and means today are no longer comparable with those of the past." Today's imperial court, although it barely maintains the overall situation of the Central Plains, is no longer able to contain the heroes of the rivers and lakes one by one. Not only that, but the imperial court even needs to use the power of the rivers and lakes to help itself fight against external troubles. If this were not the case, how could the prime minister of a country recruit a grass people? How could he ask me for help? The current situation is a crisis for the Great Song Dynasty, but it is a rare opportunity for the heroes of the rivers and lakes and us. ”

"It is said that heroes are born in troubled times, and it seems that this is true. Kui Qi nodded thoughtfully.

"Heroes and rats, kings and thieves, but one step away. Shen Dongshan chuckled, "This time, the prime minister wants Luo Tianjin to dominate the martial arts, as I expected, the next step is that the imperial court will definitely recruit Luo Tianjin, and when the time comes, recruiting An Luo Tianjin will be equivalent to controlling the Central Plains martial arts." Wishful thinking is good, but it's just ...... After experiencing the failure of the last Zhao'an, Luo Tianjin was already disheartened by the imperial court, and even threatened not to have any contact with the imperial court again...... Then why did the prime minister continue to favor Luo Tianjin? What means would he use to recruit An Luo Tianjin again? Could it be ...... What other secret methods does the prime minister have not used? Or is there any secret magic weapon hidden in the shadows, which is not enough for outsiders to ......."

"Master, don't care how the imperial court recruits peace in the future, and say that now, how can we do this?" Kui Qi reminded worriedly, "The surnamed Jia threw this hot potato to you, and he himself ended up relaxed, but what should you do, sir?" Now, the six major sects and the four great families are incompatible and incompatible because of the Chenzhou incident. It's already hard to get them to stop fighting, and what can be done to make them willing to succumb to Luo Tianjin?"

"Calming the turmoil and promoting Luo Tianjin are two different things. We need to solve them one by one, and we can't rush them. Right now, what I'm most concerned about is the matter of Chenzhou...... There are quirks. Shen Dongshan frowned slightly, his fingers rubbed the teacup repeatedly, and muttered, "The more I think about it, the more I feel...... The matter of Chenzhou is like a bureau, a scam. Some people are deliberately stirring up contradictions between the six major schools and the four great families. ”

"Could it be Ye Tong?" Kui Qi asked rhetorically, "After all, the person was invited by Ye Tong......

"Kuiqi. Without waiting for Kui Qi to finish speaking, Shen Dongshan suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes and ordered, "Think of a way...... Find out this 'Senior Ye', whether he is true or not!"

"I mean ...... master"

"This person is a crucial part of solving all mysteries. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated. Shen Dongshan said quietly, "If I can find 'Ye Tong', I will be able to clearly know what happened in Chenzhou." So as not to be confused now, and run around like a headless fly. ”

Kui Qi did not accept the order without hesitation as before, but raised his eyebrows and hesitated: "But if you can't find Ye Tong......"

Before the words fell, Shen Dongshan had already waved his hand to interrupt Kui Qi's doubts. He got up slowly, staring at Kui Qi suspiciously, his eyes cloudy, as if he was pondering something repeatedly.

"Old man......"

"I almost forgot someone!" Before Kui Qi could speak, Shen Dongshan suddenly reached out and patted his head, and then said with a smile, "This person must know the inside story of Chenzhou, at least...... More than we know. ”

"Who?"

"Listen to the order! After the banquet, you hurry to the inn and invite Huang Yulang...... Oh no! I should ask 'Huang Liuye' to come over to talk about it, master, it's time to see him now!"

......
