Chapter 290: Merchant Profit-seeking

One life is two, two is three, three is all things, and the way of heaven is only nature.

Follow the four directions, study the five elements, and the six are exhausted, and it is in vain if there is no result.

On the Tianshan Mountain, the dialogue between the master and the apprentice can be described as mysterious. Although, the old man said that peony only counted the right cause, but calculated the wrong effect. But this does not prevent the wisdom of Peony from being subtle, after all, even if the person she calculates is an old man who dares to ask the sky, he can only look at it, but cannot speculate on his intentions. Peony was able to calculate his purpose correctly, which was already an extremely remarkable thing. At least, in the world, for a hundred years, there are very few people who can do this...

Yueyang dragon chant shocking changes, Kyushu elephants are floating.

Where is the prosperity of thousands of miles?

The night of war disturbed the three thousand people in Yueyang, stirred up the people's hearts and made the rivers uneasy.

By the afternoon, all the passes in the northern city were withdrawn one after another, and the people passed. Suddenly, the big and small things that happened at the Yingshui Night Banquet last night were like a surging river, pouring from Beicheng to all directions, then gushing out of Yueyang, and finally spreading to every corner of the Tang Dynasty for 70 million miles.

A few families are happy and a few are sad, who knows what happened last night and today?

The corpses dragged out of the north city were successively arranged at the entrance of the vegetable market in the east, west and south cities, waiting for relatives to come and claim them. Those who have no power or power, with a few pensions, can only hold their dead relatives and cry. Some powerful people couldn't help but be furious on the spot, and called people and horses to shout for an explanation for the deceased, but when the Praetorian guards guarding the surrounding area raised their spears forward, they also choked their breath. More people were helpless, and they didn't even find the bodies of their relatives at the entrance of the vegetable market in the three cities, so they only summoned three or five relatives and friends, brought fishing nets and baskets, and went straight to the downstream of Yingshui.

The death of a man is great, and it is the death that is great. These episodes are just a corner of Yueyang, for more people, the life and death of other people have nothing to do with them, and after such a big battle last night, it is not a matter of thousands of dead and injured hundreds of people. As long as you're alive, that's all you need.

Before dawn, some well-informed people packed their bags and hid outside the city with their families.

What can't be left are those businessmen and gentry and Jianghu sects whose family businesses and courtyards are rooted in Yueyang City. They lay on their beds and tossed and turned all night, fearing that the flames of war in Yingshui would burn out the border and affect the fish in the pond. But fortunately, fortunately, the long torment only lasted until the afternoon, and when the news of the lifting of the ban came out from Beicheng, these people were immediately relieved. However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, Yingshui's detailed information from last night came like snowflakes again...

"King Yueyang, personally killed Chen Shilang sent by the imperial court on the sacrificial platform!"

"King Yueyang, with an order, he killed all the large and small prefectures and counties in the Southern Regions, nearly 5,000 court officials!"

"King Yueyang, sacrifice to the sky in the name of the first king, and mourn the bloody wind and rain of that night twelve years ago!"

"King Yueyang, coerce the guests to the banquet on the spot to drink blood wine, and swear to be an alliance!"

The detailed information is like a jack of sledgehammer, smashing into the hearts of everyone who hears the news one by one. And when the last message came, everyone was on the verge of breaking down...

"Xia Yuan made it clear that the prince of the previous dynasty is still alive, and he is in Yueyang City!"

"The former prince is okay?!"

"In Yueyang City!"

"Oh my God!"

When this message arrived, Yueyang's three thousand miles suddenly collapsed.

If it is said that the previous few messages mean that the king of Yueyang, who has been silent for more than ten years, is poised to rise and point his sword at Chang'an, and there will be war in the Tang Dynasty in the near future. That Xia Yuan's message means that Yueyang City is in danger!

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, how can a country have two kings?

When today's son is the emperor who killed his father and ascended the throne, his name cannot be justified or smooth. If it weren't for the direct line of the royal family, almost all of them were killed in that battle twenty years ago, and no one could succeed to the throne except for today's son. Otherwise, the clans, royal families, and literati in all parts of the world would have united to criticize and write a word and write a long time ago, so how could they turn a blind eye?

And now it's a good thing, a former prince suddenly appeared.

Anyone can imagine how the people sitting on the dragon chairs would react when this message reached the Golden Luang Hall in Kyoto. The world is about to be in turmoil, the north is looking at the tiger, and King An is plotting rebellion, and under such a situation of turmoil, he will definitely not let his imperial power be shaken in the slightest place! He will inevitably use another thunderous means to strangle all crises before he did 12 years ago! Without the need for King Yueyang to point his sword at Chang'an, he will wash Yueyang City with a piece of paper to beg for thieves and wash Yueyang City in blood!

Even bloodbathed the entire Southern Region of the Tang Dynasty again!

Twelve years ago, the Dongzhou River Valley is the best example. Hundreds of thousands of miles of fertile soil burned down overnight. Taifu is a related person, and he was killed overnight. It can be said that at this moment, the entire Yueyang City down to the rivers and lakes, and all the officials and wealthy courts up to the top are trembling at the danger buried by these few messages!

Trembling to the end, there was still a hint of suspicion.

Guess what is the key word...

"Former crown prince. ”

"I thought about it all night, I am afraid that he is really the prince. ”

"A leaf of gold, in exchange for an emperor's favor, this deal is too cost-effective. ”

In front of the south of the city, south and south pavilions.

There is a lot of traffic, horse-drawn carts full of goods, where the goods are loaded and unloaded, and the lines are carried out. One hundred and ten sturdy black men, naked, sweating like water, carrying goods back and forth.

Not far in front of the door, under the shade of the trees.

A table of eight immortals has dozens of delicacies.

On the side of the round table, there were only four people at this time. One person is bald and brocade clothes carry a bird cage, one person is a businessman dressed up as an account book, one person is a scholar wearing a paper fan, and one person is a master who is holding a sheep's beard. Come on, don't look at it, this is the four Southern Regions business predators who were so frightened by Gu Fan that they didn't dare to squeak last night on the Yueyang Tower. It's just that I never thought that the body bones of these four people are good enough, and after tossing all night yesterday, today they can still have the spirit to put down the Eight Immortals Table under the scorching sun to supervise the work.

"One parallel goods, two heads, he is a good deal. ”

"It's a bitter thing for me, a bird, so I can only eat vegetable scraps after me, maybe one day I won't even have bones. The bald man teased the canary in the cage with a bamboo stick, and his words were insinuating.

"It can't be so absolute, there are bones, and there are a lot of dregs in this vegetable. ”

The merchant turned over a page of the account book and wrote down a few words: "The price of polished rice rises by fifty percent, and the price of grain rises by three more, increasing month by month, and it can be more than ten times before the severe winter of the year ago." Silk and satin, clothes and linen quilts are pressed to the bottom of the warehouse, as long as the war is together, it is a hundred times the profit, not to mention the birds and horses, it is something more valuable than human life. If this is all vegetable residue, then I wait for the previous business, but it is not worth the hair. ”

"Tsk, I'm just making an analogy, why are you so serious. The bald man teased the canary, and Yin Yin asked, "Right, little gold?"

"Huh. ”

The scholar who gently shook the paper fan watched the two of them talk, and laughed softly: "I think the metaphor of a fake monk is very appropriate." ”

"A man dies for wealth, and a bird dies for food, and we do not lack of this silver. What do we lack? Power, no matter how much money you have, you should be a dog, or a dog. Lao Jin is smart, leaving us with the dregs, but he earns a future emperor. That's funny. ”

"Oh, this finally listens to it, I like it. The bald man grinned, and the words suddenly changed: "It's just that this future emperor is also interesting enough, the corner of the stage is gone, and he can't detect his voice for a long time, which makes people very anxious." I'm still thinking about learning from Lao Jin's set and sending some interesting toys to a hot one. Now I can't give it away even if I have money. ”

"He's no longer in Yueyang City, it's useless for you to be anxious. The master glanced at him and said.

"That's right, Sanzang's bald donkey has taken out the white dragon horse, and he can't run away with it. The bald monk paused, and then said: "But, he is also bold, where is he going, he dares to go north to Kyoto, isn't this looking for death?"

"You say..."

Before the bald monk finished speaking, the scholar hesitated and interjected: "You say, since Lao Jin has become the first year of junior high school, is it not our turn to make this fifteenth year? If he can really sit on that dragon chair in the future, we can also have a glory and wealth, right?"

"Hehe, funny. ”

After the scholar finished speaking, the other three people in the audience all smiled.

The bald man smiled contemptuously, the merchant smiled regretfully and regrettably, and the master smiled deeply. The scholar was stunned when he saw this, but he didn't understand what was funny about his words. He couldn't help but feel a little angry, and shouted, "What's so funny about this?"

"Of course I'm laughing at you're stupid. ”

The bald monk didn't give any affection, and teased the bird and said contemptuously: "You have to wait until you think of it to ask for this glory and wealth, my little gold is going to starve to death, do you say you are stupid?" ”

The scholar was even more angry, and he reprimanded him with a solemn face: "Fake monk, I give advice to everyone, but you are laughing at me here, what do you mean?!"

Shang Jia slowly closed the account book, looked at the scholar and shook his head helplessly: "It's too late." ”

"Late?" the scholar was puzzled.

Shang Jia was a little helpless: "What you thought of, Lao Jin thought of it a year ago." Otherwise, why do you think the two mothers-in-law of the Lao Yin family would go north in advance? If the estimate is correct, they should have already started to arrange the means in Chang'an City by now. You think too late, and we think too late. ”

"He should know something. ”

"That's how it should be. ”

"Hey..."

The master sighed helplessly, and the scholar was speechless.

They did think too slowly, they thought it was just a pawn of the great strategist in the north, but how did they expect that the chess piece would become a prince of the previous dynasty overnight, and the changes between the two before and after were indeed too big, which caught people off guard and at the same time, it was even more difficult for people to accept this fact.

And at this moment, in Yueyang Three Thousand Middle School, there are no longer a few people who have the same idea as the four business predators in front of Nanting Courtyard. Guessing about the "former prince", without exception, almost all of them fell on the young man who was close to the demon but only had out-of-body cultivation.

Without it, all the clues that can be seen at the moment are pointing to him, so it can only be him.

There is no doubt that the flesh and blood of the divine soul that has been sealed by the sky since childhood must hide shocking secrets. In order to save him, the Sage of Asking Heaven did not hesitate to sacrifice the foundation of the Thousand Years of Asking Heaven. In order to kill him, the crazy woman of Chunyang did not hesitate to abandon Li Qingfeng, the king, and used a thousand birds to order thousands of branches in the southern region to rob the medicine. In order to help him take revenge, Xia Yuan went out of the north, broke through the Xiongguan, entered Chang'an alone, and killed the person in the contract that year. Since he walked out of the Northern Regions and came to Yueyang, it seems that all important things are inseparable from his figure. If Xia Yuan's words last night were true, if the prince of the year was still alive in the world, then no one would doubt that he was the prince.

It's just that when everyone quietly turned their eyes to the thin figure. But he suddenly found that there was no trace of him anymore. At least, Yueyang City can't be found...
