Chapter 274: Surviving the Storm

Yuan Biao's letter inviting Taishan has been placed on Taishan's desk at this moment. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Taishan has been staring at this letter for a long time. In Yuan Biao's letter, he keenly smelled a trace of killing intent, the root of this killing intent, no need to ask, it must be his recent large-scale recruitment of troops and horses that caused Yuan Biao's suspicion, maybe, even the matter of the secret treasure has been known to Yuan Biao.

Taishan has always been cautious, this time he accidentally got the wealth of the secret treasure, and he failed to dazzle his mind, he strictly controlled the men and horses under his command at about 10,000 people, on the one hand, because of the soldiers and nobles, on the other hand, it was afraid of causing the suspicion of the Yuan Table, but I didn't expect that the Yuan Table, known as the Jingxiang Famous Scholar, still had suspicion of himself.

There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, and Sun Qian came to Taishan's room. Tarzan came to them to discuss the next day's countermeasures. After telling the three of them the general situation, except for Mi Zhu who realized the trickiness of the matter, Sun Qian and Jian Yong were at a loss to know the seriousness of the matter, which made Taishan feel that there was no talent around him who could be reused, and he sighed continuously.

Of course, Sun Qian and Jian Yong are not fools, and under Mi Zhu's explanation, they quickly wondered. Now Mount Tai is under the fence, if you offend the yuan table, it is equivalent to dismantling your own platform, and there is nowhere to stay. Under the plot of the three stinkers, Taishan decided to go to Xiangyang to dispel Yuanbiao's suspicions. At the same time, Taishan also knew that the remaining money in his hand could not be kept, and only by giving the money in the secret treasure to Yuan Biao could he get through this difficult time safely. But in this way, Taishan will lose the opportunity to rise again, and if he has no money, what will he use to recruit troops and buy horses? Sooner or later, it will be the end of sitting and eating empty. But now, there is no better way to solve the problem, and Tarzan can only break his teeth and swallow blood, which can be regarded as a disaster and a disaster. Fortunately, the money in those secret treasures, Taishan has spent a lot of money recently, in exchange for a large number of soldiers, armaments, grain and grass for himself, otherwise, Taishan would really want to cry without tears.

When the time of the meeting came, in the state pastor of Xiangyang, Yuan Biao specially ordered people to clean it inside and out, and posed on the surface to welcome the VIPs. And he personally went to the gate of the house to welcome Taishan into the house. After the two sat down, Yuan Biao exchanged a few words of greeting and began his interrogation: "Taishan, I recently heard that you are recruiting troops and horses in Xinye, I don't know how effective it is?"

Tarzan's eyes rolled. Xin said: "Sure enough. On the surface, he was silent, and Taishan said with a smile: "Brother Jingsheng (the word of the yuan table)." The younger brother is watching Unomiya Terulie's strength grow day by day. Worried that he would be detrimental to Brother Jingsheng, the expansion of armaments was quite smooth. ”

Seeing that Taishan admitted to the expansion of the army, Yuan Biao's face improved a little, and asked Taishan with a smile: "But where did you get the money for the expansion of the army? Xinye is not densely populated, and the taxes are not high. It's not enough to support an expansion like yours. ”

Tai Tai pretended to be selfless and replied: "I can't hide it, the people of Xinye are not strong, how can I bear to increase the burden of the people? They are all family properties brought by Mi Zhu Mi Zi Zhong from Xuzhou. With this expansion of the army, Zizhong's family property has almost been consumed, and Bei is worried about future military spending. Mi Zhu is a wealthy family in Xuzhou, and he naturally has a lot of money and grain in his hands, and it makes sense to push the expansion of the army to Mi Zhu. However, Taishan knew that Yuan Biao invited himself to come this time, and he must have taken a fancy to the secret treasure in his hand, and this section could not be avoided no matter what.

Therefore, Taishan simply no longer concealed it, and was ready to tell the meta table bluntly. Rather than letting Yuan Biao secretly find out afterwards, it is better to take advantage of the present and make this matter clear from his own mouth, at least this can win the trust of Yuan Biao for a long time in the future and provide himself with a safe place like Xinye.

After a deep groan, Tarzan pretended to be speechless and stopped looking at the attendants around him, and then turned his gaze to the Yuan Table. Yuan Biao saw Taishan's movements, waved his hand to dismiss all the waiters in the hall, and then looked at Taishan with a smile. If you didn't expect it wrong, it seems that Taishan is ready to tell yourself about getting the secret treasure, and Yuan Biao is very satisfied with Taishan's attitude.

Sure enough, Taishan came to Yuan Biao's side and said in a low voice: "Brother Jingsheng, I found a secret treasure a few days ago, I don't know who left it, but there is a lot of money in it, this money, I will never dare to swallow it privately, it has been sorted into categories and prepared in the register, and I ordered my subordinates to send it to Brother Jingsheng, and it is estimated that it is almost to Xiangyang now." ”

Since he knew that he couldn't keep this batch of money, Taishan could only pretend to be generous. For Taishan's approach, Yuan Biao seems to be very happy, it seems that Taishan is still very obedient and has no private thoughts. The secret treasure from discovery to excavation, and then to the sorting out of categories, and finally in the production of the list, it takes a while, although Taishan did not tell himself about it for the first time, but according to Taishan's current explanation, it can also be explained in the past. Yuan Biao's heart was full of greed, but he pretended to excuse himself: "Hey, this is an ownerless treasure, since it was discovered by Mount Tai, it should be managed by you, why do you want to send it to Xiangyang?"

Hypocrisy. Taishan cursed secretly in his heart, but said quietly: "In Jingzhou, all the treasures belong to Brother Jingsheng, and if you can temporarily borrow Xinye Tun to set up soldiers and horses, you are already grateful to Dade, how dare you swallow the treasures privately? "I have to say that Taishan's eloquence is really very good, and the work is also leaky, coaxing Yuan Biao is heart is full of joy, and he has already thrown the killing intent of Taishan to the clouds. Cai Mao, who was anxiously hiding outside the hall, scratched his ears and cheeks, eager to immediately lead the troops to kill him and break Mount Tai into thousands of pieces, but Yuan Biao had no murderous intent at the moment, and he didn't throw a cup for a long time, and Cai Mao had to endure it.

"If this is the case, the foolish brother is disrespectful. In this way, Taishan will temporarily stay in Xiangyang for a few days, first, you and my brother can get together for a few days, and second, when this batch of treasures is sent to Xiangyang, the foolish brother will also be rewarded for meritorious deeds, what do you think?" said Yuan Biao dignifiedly.

Holding the treasure sent by Mount Tai to return to Mount Tai, it is really a loss to Yuan Table can be said! However, under the fence is the weakness of Mount Tai, even though there are tens of millions of dissatisfaction in his heart, he does not dare to show a trace of strangeness on his face, and he is quickly flattered and pretended to be happy and said: "That is the case, thank you Brother Jingsheng." Taishan pretended to be so happy, but also to paralyze Yuan Biao, so that Yuan Biao thought that he had no ambitions, so that he could profit from it in the future.

The thought in his heart turned, and Taishan suddenly had a poisonous plan in his heart, ready to lead the disaster to the east and provoke Yuan Biao's dissatisfaction with Yuan Qi. As long as it is possible to hit Yuanqi, Taishan will not hesitate to implement it. Lowering his voice again, Taishan whispered to Yuan Biao: "Brother Jingsheng, when Bei discovered this batch of treasures, he found traces of someone turning it over, it should have been a few years ago, and he came to enter the treasure place again and took away a large number of treasures. "Taishan did not explicitly say that Yuan Qi took two-thirds of the treasures, but Taishan believed that with the power of Yuan Biao, it would soon be confirmed that the person who had entered the secret treasure one step ahead of Taishan was Yuan Qi.

Yuan Biao's brows furrowed together, and he asked suspiciously: "Taishan, have you found any unconventional weapons in the treasure?" In the face of Yuan Biao's question, Taishan did not need to hide it: "Yes! The remains of the horse chopping knife! The craftsman returned to the master according to the wreckage and copied several horse chopping knives, and they were actually ...... Alas. At this point, Tarzan deliberately stopped talking, and then sighed heavily.

Seeing Taishan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Yuan Biao understood in his heart and asked, "But it is exactly the same as the horse chopping knife used by Yuan Qi's subordinates?"

"Well, ah, how did Brother Jingsheng know?" Tarzan asked suspiciously, pretending to be surprised. But he was secretly happy in his heart, and without spending much of his tongue, Yuan Biao had already taken the initiative to point the finger at Yuan. In this way, Yuan Biao is not ignorant of the secret treasure, but fortunately he took the initiative to send the secret treasure today, otherwise the consequences would be really unimaginable.

"Hmph! Sure enough, it's him! This Yuan Qi, who found a treasure on a certain territory, actually swallowed it privately, is there such an elder in his eyes!" Yuan Biao snorted angrily. According to the generation, Yuan Biao and Yuan Ying are the Yuan clan relatives of the same generation, so Yuan Qi also has to call Yuan Biao an imperial uncle. What's more, at the beginning, Yuan Qi's position was Nanyang Taishou, which was controlled by Yuan Biao, the Jingzhou pastor, but Yuan Qi did not reveal a trace of this matter to Yuan Biao, which made Yuan Biao think that Yuan Qi was despising himself, so his dissatisfaction with Yuan Qi reached the peak in an instant. This is also one of Taishan's calculations, causing Yuan Biao's hatred for Yuan Qi, which can make Taishan happier than getting those treasures.

In this way, Taishan used his eloquence and disguise to successfully get through this difficulty, and successfully provoked the hostile relationship between Yuan Biao and Yuan Qi, turning a disaster into the most favorable situation. For the next three days, Taishan stayed in a post house in Xiangyang, waiting for Guan Ping to lead the army to transport the treasures. In the process of waiting, Yuan Biao feasted Mount Tai every day, and his attitude towards Mount Tai was obviously much more friendly than before, and he exchanged a batch of treasures for the trust of Yuan Table, which was an unexpected joy for Mount Tai.

Three days later, Guan Ping escorted more than 30 carts to Xiangyang and presented the treasure to Yuanbiao. After reading the list and the real thing, Yuan Biao was overjoyed, and immediately took out two carts of treasures and gave them to Taishan, and at the same time allowed Taishan to expand the army by another 5,000, as for those who have been equipped with the fish scale armor and horse chopping knife in Taishan's army, Yuan Biao will no longer recover, let Taishan use it. From this, it can also be seen that Yuan Biao has no ambitions. Of course, Tarzan would not say this sentence explicitly.
