Xiao Fengchai is a very assertive woman, but she can distinguish the occasion and know when to speak by herself and when to be honest.

For example, now, Meng Mingshu had just made a fuss like a child, but he was talking to another man, she didn't interject easily, just sat quietly on the side, occasionally signaled with her eyes, and most of the time she lowered her head and drank the cooling bitter tea, probing the strange Dragon King envoy with her voice.

Since Xiao Fengchai recognized the Dragon King's guard, Meng Mingshu had no doubts about the envoy, he sat on another chair in the guest seat, across the table from the envoy, and said coldly: "The Dragon King sent you to talk about business, okay, but the current situation is chaotic, business is not good, I hope the Dragon King will not be too embarrassed by our Meng family." ”

Gu Shenwei tapped the table with his fingers lightly, and waited for Meng Mingshu to show obvious disgust before he said, "The Dragon King will not embarrass the Meng family, and it will bring great benefits to the Meng family." ”

"Then tell me about it. Meng Mingshu was so distraught by the monotonous sound of percussion that he almost forgot what was going on in his heart.

The people in the whole building were drugged, and they slept soundly, and no matter how loud the noise was, they would not wake up.

"The Dragon King wants to borrow some money from the Meng family. ”

"How much? The interest is not low now. ”

"The Meng family has all the silver taels available. ”

"What?" Meng Mingshu couldn't believe his ears, glanced at Xiao Fengchai, and then at the Dragon King Envoy, "Do you know how much silver taels the Meng family can use?"

"A lot. Gu Shenwei had an approximate number in his heart, but he didn't feel the need to say it, "Of course, the Dragon King didn't borrow it all, and the Meng family could leave a little to ensure that it was commonly used." ”

"Haha. Meng Mingshu laughed angrily, "Feng Hai, did you hear that? Is this person not ashamed of what he said, or did I hear it wrong, the Dragon King seems to be preparing to loot the Meng family." ”

"I'm afraid you heard it right, let him finish. Xiao Fengchai was calmer, although she was not a member of the Meng family, but that huge property would eventually fall into the hands of Meng Mingshu, so some of it would belong to her.

"When does the Dragon King plan to repay the money and pay a few points of interest?" Meng Mingshu asked, knowing very well in his heart that this business was impossible, even if he was not jealous of the Dragon King, he would not agree.

"After the end of the war, the money will be repaid without interest, but the Meng family will be protected by the Dragon King and continue to do business in the Western Regions. ”

"That's all?" Meng Mingshu struggled to control his anger, and his face turned red.

"That's pretty much it, for the Meng family, this is a very cost-effective business. ”

"Do you and the Dragon King really know what 'cost-effective' means? Let me tell you, get out of here, you will never be allowed to qualify within my sight, I don't tell Jinpeng Castle, this is called 'cost-effective', understand?"

Gu Shenwei stopped tapping on the table and pointed at Xiao Fengchai, "Do you believe this woman?"

"What do you mean?" Meng Mingshu's face changed, and he was about to call someone, remembering that he was visiting alone, and his entourage and guards were not nearby.

"I mean, can you say anything to her face?"

Xiao Fengchai got up, and Meng Mingshu motioned for her to sit down, "I can give her my life, just say whatever you want, it's you who waste your tongue." ”

Gu Shenwei nodded slightly to Xiao Fengchai, apologized for what he said just now, and then turned to Meng Mingshu, "The reason why this business is cost-effective for the Meng family is because the Meng family is in danger, and the wealth is about to fall into the hands of others, but through the Dragon King, most of it can be saved." ”

Meng Mingshu's silence is not a silence that admits the facts, but a silence that has nothing to say.

Gu Shenwei continued: "Ling Zun hasn't left the house for almost half a year, right?"

"My father occasionally contracted a cold, and he has been recuperating at home, and it is normal not to go out. ”

"Meng Sangongzi and Meng Sigongzi went out to take care of business, and they haven't heard from them for two months, right?"

"In the midst of chaos, it is more normal for letters to be lost. Meng Mingshu couldn't figure out what the other party was trying to hint at.

"Second Prince Meng just changed his guards a month ago. ”

"Hey, you know everything, but what do you want to say? Where is the threat of the Meng family? The guard is the old man of my family, not a random swordsman. ”

Gu Shenwei didn't answer directly, but continued according to the existing train of thought, "The guard's name is He Shun, he has served in the Meng family for eleven years, and he was brought by your wife to marry. ”

Meng Mingshu sneered, and was about to speak, when Xiao Fengchai interjected, "The second sister-in-law is from Jinpeng Castle." ”

Xiao Fengchai called Meng Mingshu's wife, he had long been accustomed to it, "Yes, what's wrong? He Shun is not a killer, and his martial arts are average, he was chosen because he is old and serious, and he has never made a mistake in the more than ten years since he entered the Meng family." ”

Meng Mingshu looked at the envoy and paused for a moment, "I understand what you mean, you want to say that the Shangguan family is a threat, and the Dubu King wants to kill all the men of the Meng family and rob all the property, isn't it?"

"Well, almost. ”

"I know that the Dragon King is a very smart person, and sometimes he is too smart, please go back and tell him, thank you for his concern for the Meng family, but if he wants to talk about business, it is better to propose a reasonable plan, rather than making up sensational stories. ”

Gu Shenwei shook his head, "The Dragon King is in retreat, I can't pass on the word, he said that the second prince may not believe my words, he only has one request." ”

The envoy succumbed so quickly, but Meng Mingshu was a little disappointed, "Say, what do you ask?"

"Convey what I have said to Ling Zun and let him make a decision. ”

Meng Mingshu's face turned a little red again, "My father hasn't seen many people recently, and he doesn't like the Dragon King, so he will only refuse more thoroughly than me." ”

"It doesn't matter, if even Ling Zun refuses, this business will be settled, but the Dragon King asks you to be sure to spread the word. ”

"Neither you nor the Dragon King are qualified to give orders to me. Meng Mingshu gritted his teeth and said, his patience was coming to an end.

"This is not an order, this is an obligation that must be fulfilled as an ally, you must not forget, it was the Dragon King who made you avoid losses in the Easy Sea, and it was also the Dragon King who made you the heir of the Meng family. ”

Meng Mingshu took the case, and the other party's last words especially annoyed him, the Dragon King helped him assassinate his eldest brother, which was a past he never wanted to mention, "Are you threatening me?"

"If you treat the Dragon King as a friend, it's just a reminder, and if you treat the Dragon King as an enemy, it's a threat. ”

Meng Mingshu regretted his impulsiveness, money is not like martial arts, it does not grow on the master, the protection it provides is a moving cover, occasionally there will be separation, Meng Mingshu's protective cover is not by his side, he was left elsewhere by himself, which made him feel powerless in the face of the two swordsmen.

"Please forgive me, I want to say a word to the second brother alone. Xiao Fengchai got up and said.

Gu Shenwei nodded, indicating that he didn't care.

In some major matters, Meng Mingshu relied more on Xiao Fengchai, so he walked into the bedroom with her and discussed quietly.

Gu Shenwei sat silently waiting, Nie Zeng listened vigilantly to all the voices around him, and what came out of the bedroom was only a vague whisper, he admired the Dragon King's composure, thinking that the Dragon King must have another news channel to know so much about the affairs of the Meng family.

Meng Mingshu walked out alone, and his voice became much more polite, "Okay, I will convey your words to my father, and we will meet here the day after tomorrow." ”

"Good. Gu Shenwei got up, "I believe that the day after tomorrow, there will be more trust between us, farewell." ”

"I hope so, don't send it. ”

The two swordsmen went downstairs, and there was no sound of opening and closing the door for a long time, Meng Mingshu looked down against the railing, confirming that the downstairs was empty.

Xiao Fengchai walked behind him, "They're gone." ”

Meng Mingshu turned around abruptly, still lowering his voice, "Are you sure it's the Dragon King himself?"

"You can't be wrong. ”

Meng Mingshu's gaze became suspicious, Xiao Fengchai has never lacked guests here, he doesn't care at all, but he can't let go of the Dragon King, "You can actually see the flaws." ”

Xiao Fengchai knew that this man was jealous again, and said coldly: "Stupid, you don't know that the Dragon King is suspicious, how can he entrust such an important matter to others? This is the Dragon King, don't think about it, if you have to ask for evidence, just go to Jinpeng Fort and ask, they are closely monitoring the Dragon King, and they will definitely tell you that there is no 'Gu Shenwei' around the Dragon King at all." ”

Meng Mingshu wouldn't go to Jinpeng Fort to inquire about the Dragon King, but he trusted Xiao Fengchai's judgment and said with a smile: "Men are stupid in front of you. Father may not be upset and think that I have deliberately betrayed King Dubu. ”

"Of course, if the Dragon King's guess is accurate, you are Meng Yuzun's most powerful son, if Meng Yuzun doesn't feel dangerous, you can also make a great contribution. ”

Meng Mingshu suddenly said, "The meeting the day after tomorrow can be a negotiation or a trap. Feng Chai, you are so smart. ”

Xiao Fengchai doesn't think she is smart, she just thinks that men are too stupid.

The Dragon King allowed Nie Zeng to ask questions at will, so not long after leaving Liuren Alley, Nie Zeng spoke, "That woman seems to recognize the Dragon King. ”

"It's not easy to fool her. ”

"Isn't that dangerous?"

"I'll act as if there's a danger. ”

Nie Zeng was quiet for a while, then asked another question, "I don't know much, but I have heard since I was a child that the Meng clan of Biyu City and Jinpeng Fort are a family, is the Dragon King really sure to cut off this relationship?"

"It's not me, it's King Dubu who cut off his arm, and he doesn't need a 'family' anymore. ”

"Isn't it too stupid for King Dubu to do this?" Nie Zeng said in surprise.

"So our task is to find out the real reason for this, and never to explain the enemy's actions in the word stupid. ”

The Dragon King actually said "We", Nie Zeng was even more surprised, his martial arts were not particularly strong, and he did not show any excellence in intelligence and wisdom, and he didn't understand why the Dragon King deliberately "cultivated" himself.

He buried this doubt in his heart and asked, "Where do you go next?" instead.

"Go and visit the master of the Meng family, maybe I can cure his illness, as long as he nods, Xiao Fengchai is not in danger. ”

"But...... Why didn't the Dragon King go to Meng Yuzun in the first place?"

Gu Shenwei looked at the young man, "Soon you will understand." ”
