Chapter 790: Financial Power
Long Chuanyun came to see Prince Dotun head-on, "The Dragon King's retreat is at a critical juncture, and it will take three days to leave the customs at the earliest, please forgive your Royal Highness the Prince." ”
After drinking wine for more than half the night, Duo Dun did not have the slightest fatigue and drunkenness on his face, staring at Long Chuanyun, the expression on his face was quite arrogant and cold, "Three days?
Long Chuyun pretended not to hear Prince Dodun's words, "Unless it's a flaming horse, three days is not enough." ”
"Haha, well, you can't get out of the customs until three days later, is this your guess or did the Dragon King tell you personally?"
"The dragon king himself told me ......"
As soon as he spoke, Dotun stood up with a flutter, and several of his companions, who were inseparable from him, seemed to have a premonition of the prince's action, and took a step ahead of him, surrounding the dragon and clouds, as if to take him down on the spot.
There was no conflict, Long Chuanyun's hand only moved, did not touch the hilt of the knife, the purpose of those people was only to completely isolate him from the prince, Dotun said: "Very good, since the dragon king can talk to you, he can also say a few words to me, I don't have many words, but I must get a personal answer from the dragon king, let's go into the city, and I will return to Tongtianguan before noon." ”
Long Chuanyun looked a little flustered, and glanced at Shangguan Ru and Shang Liao, but both of them knew very well that they couldn't stop Prince Dotun, and the more they persuaded him, the more suspicious Dotun would be.
A group of hundreds of people set out early in the morning and quickly entered the city.
Gu Shenwei brought back 10,000 cavalry from the Dragon Court, 5,000 camped outside the city, and last night he received the payment from the prince of Dotun, and there were 5,000 garrisons in the city, they gave the prince a warm welcome at the gate of the city, and cheered loudly in the Beiting language, infecting the people nearby, and many people had the courage to go to the streets to watch.
Long Chuanyun was embarrassed, the Dragon King was the nominal leader of this army, but he had never received this kind of treatment.
Xiao Yan also followed him into the city, cast a meaningful glance at Shangguan Ru beside him, and took advantage of the crowd to whisper: "The Dragon Court is full of Khan princes, and the soldiers are at a loss, so their loyalty has not been shown, and the Dragon King probably has a misunderstanding because of this." But Dotun was different, even among the heaps of princes, he was different, and now you see, you should explain this to the dragon king when you have the chance. ”
Shangguan Ru just smiled and didn't say anything, she knew that the people who were truly loyal were the young officers like Azheba, who enthusiastically instilled in the soldiers the nobility and greatness of Prince Dotun, so she also had a question: why did the Dragon King sit idly by and watch such a thing happen?
The Dragon King has always been a mysterious man to Shangguan Ru, even when the two were unguessed, the young man named Huan Nu always brought surprises and mysteries, and today she couldn't guess the Dragon King's thoughts.
The capital of Xiaowan was not very large, and the procession soon reached the gate of the royal palace, where Dotun encountered a strong obstacle.
Chu Nanping stood in the middle of the gate, with two swords hanging from his waist, one of which was the dragon head sword given to him by the dragon king.
More than a dozen palace guards stood far away, equally in awe of the sword boy and the prince of the North Court.
The four guards jumped off their horses and walked towards Chu Nanping, ordering him to get out of the way immediately.
Chu Nanping's gaze crossed the guards and shouted to everyone: "The Dragon King is in retreat, and idle people are not allowed to enter." ”
"This is Prince Dotun, the overseer of the cavalry of the North Court, not a 'miscellaneous person'. One of the guards said angrily, his hand already on the hilt of his sword.
Chu Nanping still didn't look at them, and continued: "The prince can go in, but only alone. ”
Duo Dun laughed briefly, unable to tell whether he was surprised or sarcastic, his gaze swept around, and fell on Shangguan Ru, "Does the Dragon King particularly like this kind of trick?"
Shangguan Ru shook his head, "This is the basic rule of retreat cultivation, the quieter the better, so as to expel all the miscellaneous things in your mind." ”
"Fighting for world domination is also a miscellaneous matter?"
"During the retreat, everything is a chorre except martial arts, and this is the true meaning of the retreat. ”
"It sounds like the Central Plains people coaxed the old Khan king. ”
"Please follow the customs of the country, Your Highness. ”
The two companions of Prince Dotun dismounted and negotiated with Chu Nanping and Long Chuanyun, and the biggest concession of the young swordsman was to only allow three people to enter the palace.
Dotun watched this scene and did not give any instructions, only said at the end: "Okay, since the Dragon King is going to become an immortal, we ordinary people should not be too stubborn, just three people enter the palace, and Azheba and I ......"
As soon as he was halfway through the words, all the partners immediately objected in unison, they would never allow His Royal Highness the Prince to be in danger alone, the Dragon King had no problem, but this palace belonged to Shangguan Yun, who knew if there was a hidden danger inside?
Everyone was noisy, and in the end it was Xiao Yan's idea, "If the king doesn't worship the king, it's better not for His Highness to go in, you have so many trustworthy subordinates, whoever you send in is the same, I believe there will be no mistakes." ”
Dotun pondered for a moment, reluctantly agreed, and he appointed Azheba and another partner, but the third place was given to Shangguan Ru.
"I'm not your subordinate. Shangguan Ru smiled and pointed out Dotun's mistake.
"Of course, but it's enough to pass on the word to two people, and I think you should be allowed to meet the Dragon King. ”
Shangguan Ru and Long Chuanyun glanced at each other, this was not within the plan they had discussed, "That...... I would like to thank Your Highness for giving me such a precious opportunity. ”
Don smiled and said nothing, if this woman was really ambiguous with the dragon king, it could be used to judge the authenticity of the dragon king in the palace.
When Long Chuanyun and the others tried their best to deal with Prince Dotun, Gu Shenwei was stranded in Tongtian Pass.
He couldn't speed up, the meeting with the blacksmith Lao Hong and Madame Meng, as well as the surveillance of Jinpeng Castle, had been delayed for some time, and there were problems in Tongtian Pass that he had to solve immediately.
"There's no money. Xu Xiaoyi knew that the Dragon King didn't like to be polite, so he got straight to the point as soon as they met, "I'm empty-handed now, and I still owe a bunch of debts outside, and it is estimated that in less than ten days, the creditors will be able to see through the details of the Dragon Army, which is a disaster." ”
Gu Shenwei had already expected this situation, "It's okay, soon we will get a lot of money." ”
"The Dragon King persuaded the Meng family?" Although Xu Xiaoyi was full of confidence in the Dragon King, he was still pleasantly surprised, when he thought of the huge wealth of the Meng family in Beicheng, his already mature face couldn't help but heat up, his eyes lit up, and he accidentally revealed the true colors of Nancheng in the past, "When will the money arrive?" As long as I have the bottom in my heart, I will be able to deal with those creditors." ”
Then the dragon king poured a basin of cold water on his head, "This money is not in your hands, from now on, you can concentrate on collecting intelligence." ”
Xu Xiaoyi was taken aback, his expression was depressed, and the real beard that he had finally grown was twisted and crooked, as if it was about to fall off his lips, "Dragon King, what did I do wrong?" I swear, after my gold and silver are not a lot, okay, a little less, definitely only a little, can't I hand it over immediately?"
"No, you should also save some money for yourself and your sister, and you are doing a good job, if it weren't for you, I would have spent all the money a long time ago. ”
"But ......"
"This is one of the conditions put forward by the Meng family, they want to send someone they trust to take charge of the money. ”
"Okay. "Xu Xiaoyi's heart is like a knife, the Meng family in Beicheng is the richest man in the Western Regions, if he can be in charge of that wealth that can't be counted...... He couldn't think anymore, "From now on, I will pass on the Dragon King's small money." ”
"No, you just collect the newspaper for me, and hand over all the financial power to the Meng family. ”
"What?!" Xu Xiaoyi jumped up, if he had to hand over a certain power, he would prefer intelligence, "Dragon King, how can you trust the people of the Meng family? They have been friends with Jinpeng Fort for generations, and at a critical juncture, they will definitely betray the Dragon King, what a blow." ”
"A blow back. ”
"That's right, that's what it means, Dragon King, it's okay if you don't let me take care of the money, but you can't hand it over to the Meng family. ”
"Try it, as long as you keep an eye on me, I don't think there will be a big problem. ”
"The Dragon King means ......"
"The more information, the better. ”
Xu Xiaoyi laughed twice, "Okay, the Meng family manages the money for the Dragon King, and I watch the Meng family for the Dragon King." Alas...... How much money does the Meng family have? tens of millions, hundreds of millions?"
"This is one of the pieces of intelligence that you need to gather. ”
"When will the people of the Meng family arrive, I will hand it over. ”
"It's here. ”
Half an hour later, Xu Xiaoyi saw his successor and competitor, he opened his mouth and didn't say anything for a long time.
Xiao Fengchai smiled, "Although men usually have this expression when they see me, you seem to be exaggerating a little." ”
"How can you be a member of the Meng family? Meng Er...... Meng Mingshu...... It turns out that you are arguing about this. ”
In order not to be suspected of leaving Dibi Jade City, Xiao Fengchai and Meng Mingshu played a good show, the quarrel was turned upside down, and the girls in the entire Liuren Lane gave up their business and rushed to watch.
"The second brother trusted me and asked me to take care of the family property for the Meng family. Looks like we'll see each other more often in the future. ”
"It's an honor. Xu Xiaoyi felt that the Meng family and the Dragon King were a little unexpected, Jinshan Yinshan was handed over to a woman, but this woman was the first in Biyucheng, and his sister Xu Yanwei worked hard for many years and was still out of reach, thinking about it, he felt that everything was reasonable, and it was not a shame for him to lose in her hands, and the words "meet often" were also like a reward.
After settling Xiao Fengchai, Lu Qiying just arrived to discuss the matter of transporting grain and grass out of the customs, but Gu Shenwei was delayed until the afternoon, so he simply decided to set off again in the evening.
Xu Xiaoyi was hit by the news of handing over his financial power, and he was busy for a long time before he remembered that there was still a lot of information that had not been handed over to the Dragon King, sorted it out, and told it according to the important surname he understood.
The news about Shangguan Ru was ranked last.
"Ten Sons...... I have a lot of friends, and I drink a lot, and several of my brothers are now willing to bow down. ”
"Who has seen her?" Gu Shenwei still remembered Mrs. Meng's inexplicable reminder, so he asked more.
"That one named Azheba has been here a few times, and Dotun always sent someone, Dragon King, he didn't give up, you have to be careful, and a few officers from the North Court, I have written down their names, um......"
"Something is strange to you?"
In fact, what made Xu Xiaoyi feel most strange was that the Dragon King was very concerned about Shangguan Ru's news, as if he didn't trust her very much, he always stood on the same side as the Dragon King, so he immediately looked at Shangguan Ru from a different angle, and felt that it was a big mistake not to tell the Dragon King something in the morning.
"There is a mysterious guest who visited the Tenth Prince a few days ago. ”
