Chapter 1187: Business
The rest time is not long, but Zihe Zhenren sleeps well, he is full of energy, and the wrinkles on his face seem to be less, "The way to health is to think less, think more and worry, and worry more and decline." I still want to live another twenty years, so I never think too much, haha. But I'm not living for myself, I'm thinking about the Kongtong faction, 'the hundred-year-old head of the immortal soars', with this legend, even if the Kongtong faction is not a master, it can maintain its status, and the length is not necessarily, ten years, twenty years?"
"Real people are clever, whether it is in the rivers and lakes or in the court, they can stand tall, and people all over the world think you think a lot. In order to keep his promise, Gu Shen came to visit early the next morning, and since there was no room to spare, the Zhou brothers and Chen Jinke went out of the house and stood at the door as guards.
"Quite the opposite. As one of the manifestations of Shaosi, the real person never bothered to guess the meaning of the other party's words, "I can stand tall because I think less, such as the Queen Mother, everyone thinks I am ungrateful, but I have no choice, I did everything I could, the Queen Mother changed her mind and did not go to the Yulin Army, but took the imperial seal to find the emperor, and as a result, she harmed herself and the emperor." As for me, I can't help it, and I don't think much about it. Sadness is a superfluous emotion that neither solves anything and is not good for physical health. So I removed the excess and left only the trunk. The Queen Mother has a spirit in the sky and won't care, most of the time she is very smart and knows that I have no other choice. ”
Zihe Zhenren's tone was not like an explanation, but like a show-off, "For another example, as soon as I see you, I only think of one thing, the imperial seal, the imperial seal, the imperial seal, for the sake of the imperial seal, King Xiao has made huge concessions, and even pardoned the princess." ”
"King Xiao thought I was going to kill the princess. "Gu Shenwei is the same, no matter what Zihe says or how much. He also only heard the word "Imperial Seal".
"But you don't, hehe. Zihe Zhenren nodded approvingly, "You don't want to be taken advantage of, I very much agree with this, once you become a sword for others, you will inevitably be a sword The fate of the sword is rusty and blunt." Naturally, they have to be abandoned, and there are not many young people who understand this truth, and they compete to be sharper than others, and sometimes you can't use it. ”
"The Imperial Seal is not on me. Gu Shenwei's interest in small talk disappeared.
"It can be seen that King Xiao is about to turn white, and he is waiting for you to put forward conditions. ”
"As I said, I have no conditions to mention before the mission returns to the Western Regions. ”
"You said it, but it's more complicated than you think. What you took away is the imperial seal of the country, which is the most important of the six seals, without it, the new emperor will not be able to ascend the throne, without the new emperor, there will be no way to canonize and reward the missions of the Western Regions, the missions are thousands of miles away, and they can't go back empty-handed, right? All in all, a lot of questions......"
"I don't want any of that. ”
"Haha, good habit. Let King Xiao think about it, this is originally his duty, as for our Kongtong faction, we are voluntarily driven by you, there is only one condition, and that is to allow me to act as an intermediary between you and King Xiao. Alas. I hope you can understand that the friendship between the Kongtong faction and King Xiao is not deep enough, and you need to make a little merit as soon as possible. ”
"I understand very well that the request of the real person is reasonable and good for me. I have to take it. ”
The real person laughed, "Say more, Gu Shenwei, you are too good at taking advantage of people, and you actually thought that I had a military department in my hand." ”
"Actually, I don't know what you have in your hands, I just think that the Kongtong faction has just won the favor of King Xiao, and when you go out, you have to order something from King Xiao, so that you can call local officials and garrisons at any time. ”
The real person shook his head while laughing, "It seems that you are less than I thought, you will live a hundred years, definitely." ”
Gu Shenwei wrote a few words on the paper casually last night, and it was actually Chen Jinke, the messenger of the letter, who really made the officers and soldiers retreat, and he asked the head of the house for verification several times before he was convinced that Zihe Zhenren was willing to be "used".
"I will try to live to be 100 years old, just like real people. In front of your fellow practitioners, you are embarrassed to use the documents given to you by King Xiao, so it is better for me to use them in the future. ”
"Okay. Zihe Zhenren happily agreed, but until Gu Shenwei said goodbye, he didn't take out the military department's text.
When they broke up, the suspicion between the two deepened.
In contrast, the conversation between Gu Shenwei and Miao Sanwen and others was much simpler.
The army in the northwest is getting closer and closer, but the confidence of the fourteen heads is getting lower and lower, the emperor is dead, King Xiao is in control, but the world is not in chaos, and along the way, I haven't even heard of the rebels.
It seems that the situation of the general Pang Ning's response will not appear.
Miao Sanwen and the others now have very low requirements, hoping to remove the title of thief on their heads, they would rather return to the rivers and lakes, and swear not to participate in the court dispute again, although they are unwilling to publicly surrender to King Xiao, but the so-called revenge is just talk, everyone understands that it is impossible.
Gu Shenwei's conditions are also very simple, "Accompany me to Jinmen Pass, where you and your sect will be pardoned." ”
"Golden Gate Pass, that is the gateway to the Western Regions, you don't want to bring us to the Western Regions, right?" Miao San asked and said suspiciously, as the head of a famous and decent family, he would rather die in the Central Plains than flee to the land of the Heavenly Barbarians.
"After receiving the amnesty, where you go is your own business. There is a merit waiting for everyone in Kinmen Pass, and after the meritorious service, the amnesty is logical. ”
The heads glanced at each other, nodded at the same time, and Miao San stood up, "Okay, we believe you, let's go to Kinmen Pass." ”
Behind the head of the house, there were five or six people involved in the negotiations, originally they were not qualified to speak, one of them was too puzzled, seeing that Miao San asked as if he was about to leave, he had the courage to interject: "What big deal can there be in Jinmen Pass? It is hundreds of miles away from the general Pang Ning, and it is even farther away from the Beiting Xiao Yan clan, and the desert is out of the pass, and the opposite side is the Loulan country, which has been close to the Central Plains for decades. ”
"This is the Golden Tiger, a good man in Hedong. Miao Sanwen said, not showing concern for his transgression.
"Well, Jin Daxia knows a lot about the west. ”
"I have a bit of a business here, and I have to come and go every year. Jin Hu snorted, he drank too much last night, and slept in the tent until dawn, knowing very little about the events of last night.
"Very good, I just need someone who is familiar with the border situation, if you can, Jin Daxia will follow me for a while in the future. ”
"Huh?" Jin Hu's surprise was not small, the muscles on his face trembled, and he looked more and more vicious, but his eyes rolled around, without a trace of arrogance, "I'm not too familiar with it...... Ronggui is more familiar. ”
Miao San frowned, turned around and dragged Jin Hu to his side, "It's a waste of time to push around, you will follow Gu Gongzi in the future, and it will be convenient to pass the word." ”
"Let me think about it, I'm afraid it's ......" Before Jin Hu finished speaking, Miao Sanwen had already retired from Gu Shenwei with all the heads, and as for the question he raised at the beginning, no one answered, and no one cared.
Gu Shenwei lived in another inn and borrowed Ronggui's living room here, "Come back with me, and we'll leave tomorrow." ”
It wasn't until he walked on the street that Jin Hu reacted, "Gu Gongzi, can you tell me what you want me to do? As long as I can do it, I am duty-bound." ”
"It's very simple, help me pass on a message, introduce the customs and something. ”
"Oh. Jin Hu was a little relieved, "Actually, I don't know much, every time I come, I am in a hurry, hehe, I just think that the noodles in the west are a little better than those in the east of the river." ”
"Yes, that's what I want to know, I like to eat pasta, and when I get to Kinmen Pass, you have to introduce a good restaurant." Gu Shenwei chatted casually.
Last night's commotion didn't have much impact on Dingwu Town, there were still people coming and going on the street, most of them were merchants, the two chatted while walking, the fierce appearance of the golden tiger was more noticeable than the narrow knife on Gu Shenwei's waist, and no one even dared to approach them.
"What kind of business does Jin Daxia do?"
"Gu Gongzi just calls me Golden Tiger, I can't afford the word hero, everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that I am a 'tiger' with eyes, I am pitifully timid, and I can't do big things. ”
"It's not called cowardice, it's cautious, and you haven't said what kind of business you are. Gu Shenwei will not allow the other party to be ambiguous.
"Uh...... It's nothing, get a little here and there, just see what can make money, the rivers and lakes are not easy to mix, there are no friends if you don't have money, and if you don't have friends, you have no money, and in the end you don't even have a way to live. ”
"Well, I heard that the border is very strict, and the goods in the Western Regions can only enter the Central Plains according to the quota, and many merchants have no quota in their hands, so they have to sell them at a low price outside the country in exchange for silk in the Central Plains, which sounds like a money-making business, have you ever done it?"
Jin Hu's face flickered red and white, and he opened his mouth for a while before he said: "It turns out that Gu Gongzi knows everything, hehe, I just specialize in this kind of business, just barely making ends meet, and the money I earn is used to fight officers and soldiers and make friends." There is no way, the road from Kinmen Pass to Hedong is long, if there were no friends, the goods would have been robbed long ago. ”
Gu Shenwei nodded, thinking that this person was really useful.
The town is not big, the two quickly returned to the inn, Gu Shenwei went directly to the back door, stood there and waited for a while, Nie Zeng walked over from the crowd on the street, nodded, and entered the courtyard.
Jin Hu was deeply impressed by this, and understood that Gu Shenwei was by no means unprotected.
Su Ai has not fully recovered, so he still gets up early to stand by, and Gu Shen ordered him to rent a room for Jin Hu.
Chu Nanping flashed out of his room and asked Gu Shenwei, "Is there any news about the Biyu King?" He didn't have any special feelings for Shangguan Cheng, but he felt that the child was stolen under his own protection, and he had an unshirkable responsibility.
"There's no news yet, but he's safe. These people must have a purpose in kidnapping him, so don't worry, they will follow us. ”
Chu Nanping didn't say anything more, feeling that Gu Shenwei didn't seem to care about Shangguan Cheng at all, in that case, why did he arrange for him and Tie Linglong to pick up people in the first place?
Gu Shenwei didn't take a few steps before another person flashed out of the door.
Shangguan Fei whispered in a smug tone of accomplishment: "I persuaded her, she wants to talk to you." ”
