Talking over wine, Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen both looked at each other and smiled when they heard the old man talk about a large group of people rushing from Huiyang City to this side a few days ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Alas, the old man, I also saw the opportunity quickly, and seeing that something seemed to be wrong with this matter, I stopped outside Huiyang City and sent a little apprentice to investigate the situation. The old man took a sip of wine and said, "It's amazing, Huiyang is actually in chaos." ”

"Oh, what's going on, can my husband tell us in detail?" Hearing the news of the chaos in Huiyang City, Qu Mingde was extremely concerned.

Regarding the news that Qiu Bufan, the faucet of Huiyang Waterway, wants to do something, Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen have already heard him say it personally. But what exactly is the situation now, they don't know. So when they heard this old man speak at this time, Qu Mingde and Zuo Chengwen naturally paid attention.

When the old man heard Qu Mingde's words, he didn't pay much attention.

The Great Zhou world has been stable for so many years, and when I heard that there were signs of instability, everyone naturally couldn't help but care.

The old man said: "So that the two of you know, and you don't know where the strongman came from, took Huiyang." ”

"Wait, old man, are you saying that someone has openly raised the flag to rebel?" Qu Mingde felt a little unbelievable when he heard the old man's words. Could it be that Qiu Bufan is really the kind of person who is not self-interested and specializes in people, and he doesn't look like it.

"There is no such thing as openly raising the flag, but rebellion should be undoubted. The old man said: "In short, Huiyang is afraid that it is no longer under the control of the government." ”

"It's not a blatant flag, how do you know what's going on, old man?" Qu Mingde asked again.

Zuo Chengwen listened to the conversation between Qu Mingde and his father-in-law, but he didn't speak, but unconsciously played with the wine glass, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Hey, it's not the old man I'm bragging, I've traveled south and north over the years, and nothing else, but I've seen a lot of the work of the Great Zhou Mansion. Although Huiyang City is now hanging the banner of the Great Zhou, the kind of atmosphere inside, I know at a glance that it is absolutely impossible to be an official mansion. The old man said.

It seems to be a bit mystical to say this, isn't this old man still having the art of hope?

There were all kinds of thoughts in his heart, but Qu Mingde diverted the conversation.

Seeing his appearance, the old man also skipped this topic.

Don't look at what they just said about rebellion, they all look very calm, it seems that this is just a small question of what to eat. But in fact, the old man's heart was definitely not so calm as it appeared.

The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty were strict, and this was by no means a joke. If it weren't for the existence of such magical creatures as martial artists, Qu Mingde had no doubt that the government's control over people would be many times greater.

As an ordinary person, the old man can maintain his composure on the surface and talk to them about this, which can be regarded as borrowing the light of many years of wandering the market.

Next, Zuo Chengwen stopped playing with his wine glass, and followed the old man to ask a lot of new things, Qu Mingde listened on the side, occasionally participating in two sentences, but he didn't feel the slightest bit boring.

They walked slowly for two or three days, and only then did they see the city wall of Pengcheng from afar-the merchant team, in the end, it was different from the people in the rivers and lakes who were simply on the road, and it was normal to be slower.

Along the way, Qu Mingde didn't see anything abnormal on the road, and he didn't know if the news that the old man said that Huiyang City was in chaos was unreliable, or because all the abnormal situations had been intercepted by people behind them.

At this time, when he saw the city wall, Zuo Chengwen relaxed his waist and said, "It's here." ”

"Hehe, it's really hard for the two sons to accompany the old man to nag these days. The old man saw Zuo Chengwen's appearance and said with a smile.

Xu Gong laughed. We've been so much troubled in the past two days, and we've heard so many of your stories, so it's up to us to accuse. Qu Mingde said.

After two days of contact, Qu Mingde already knew that the old man's surname was Xu and his name was Xu Yuan. The middle-aged man who was called Xiaoshi's real name was Wei Shi, and he had no relationship with the old man surnamed Xu, but because he had been with him for a long time, he called him the third uncle.

"Haha, don't dare to be, it's an honor for the old man to be able to relieve the two of you, the eldest prince and the eldest prince. ”

As he spoke, the caravan was slowly moving forward, and it was almost half an hour before it came to the bottom of Pengcheng.

As the capital of Jiangzhou, Pengcheng is naturally more magnificent than holding it out.

At least from this city wall alone, it is more than twice as high as Fuli and Huiyang that Qu Mingde has seen.

"What a nice place!" Qu Mingde sighed.

"A state should be governed by this weather. The old man said: "There are many interesting places in this city, but there is the eldest prince here, and the old man will not go into more detail for you to talk about Qu Gongzi." ”

While speaking, Wei Shan walked up and said to the old man: "Third uncle, the place has arrived, when will we start unloading?"

"Oh, it's here so soon, have you all arrived?" asked the old man.

"It's coming, it's all waiting for you over there. Wei Shan said to the old man.

"Okay, okay, then you can go and preside over it, I'm here to accompany the two sons, and I can't leave. ”

"Don't, my husband, you're really tormenting us. Qu Mingde said: "I have never seen such a scene, so I might as well go and see it with you." Brother Zuo, do you want to come along?"

"Of course!" Zuo Chengwen replied.

Seeing the two of them express their attitudes, the old man had nothing to object, so he took them over.

said that it was the host, of course, there was no need for the old man to do it himself, but he was just standing on the side and greeting with the familiar customers.

Qu and Zuo did not stand at this time, but looked around at the goods distributed.

This old man surnamed Xu really deserves to be called the most famous businessman in Jiangzhou by Zuo Chengwen, and Qu Mingde has not seen many of the things he has gotten.

"To be able to do this step in the business of the merchants, this old man is really a genius. Qu Mingde sighed.

Then he found that Zuo Chengwen, who was standing beside him, did not respond.

Qu Mingde raised his eyes to look at Zuo Chengwen and found that he was staring at a person. Qu Mingde followed his gaze and squinted his eyes involuntarily.

"Brother Zuo knows?" asked Qu Mingde.

"I don't know!" Zuo Chengwen's answer was very simple, "But I think, wearing such a shoddy human skin mask, does this person want to hide people's eyes and ears, or do he want to attract the attention of others?"

"This ...... I'm afraid it's the latter. Qu Mingde said.
