Chiman and Da'an have been against each other for several generations, and they fought many battles. After recuperating, they must come back again. This has become a custom in history. This time, there were less than a hundred members of the mission, and when they came to Da'an, instead of keeping a low profile and restraining themselves, they became even more arrogant and murderous.
Xie Tingyue slowly thought about it.
Da'an was never afraid of fighting at the border, and neither was Chiman!
Standing on a different standpoint and pursuing a different moral standard, the people of Da’an defend their home and country and guard the territory, and they will not feel wrong. Not wrong! The trip of the mission this time is not for bowing their heads at all, nor is it for the border cross market, small welfare, they have bigger plans!
From the first time I stepped into the land of Daan and lost my things, the bad attitude pointed at the court, to the attitude towards the game just now, the transaction proposal that broke the rules...
These people headed by Wu Kui have no sincerity at all. In the face of such a major event as the assassination of Prince Da'an, they still sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch all kinds of jokes. This is not brainless.
This is scary.
If war between the two countries is inevitable, what is the role of these people
There are really unfathomable plots, who can't be attacked, why are you competing with him, a small businessman
If... there is a way to change the war situation and make Da'an more beneficial, what should he do
Xie Tingyue kept turning her mind and thinking hard.
He always felt that what the other party said to him was not aimless, maybe he was not a dispensable person in this situation. He may have something the other party wants here.
Then why not come directly instead of beating around the bush
Xie Tingyue's eyelids trembled. For a businessman like him, what special things could make the other party remember
Merchant... trade route...
But there is a legend of the Hang family present, and people like Mrs. Hang are not interested in the other party, so what else does Chi Man want? He may be a little clever, he seized Lan Yingbu's opportunity and gained momentum steadily, but his grades were far worse than that of the Hang family, and logically he had to be much better than the Hang family to be able to catch Chi Man's eyes.
Wait, stronger than the Hang family—
A name suddenly popped up in Xie Tingyue's mind, Tao Mushu.
In the Long Qingfu incident, the mysterious person with little information found out by Chu Mu's information network!
This person carried on the past and created a lot of history. He is especially proficient in business affairs and has made outstanding achievements. His name should last forever, but he was deliberately hidden. The reason why Long Qingfu targeted him—Chu Mu guessed that he was somewhat similar in appearance to this Tao.
Thinking of this, Xie Tingyue suddenly became extremely determined. If Chiman had a businessman who was interested, he deserved more attention than the Hang family, it must be this person!
The crown prince has not yet received a definite message, the situation at the scene is unclear, and the atmosphere is chaotic, it is most important to keep yourself safe.
All thoughts happened in the blink of an eye, Xie Tingyue pinched her palms with her fingers in her sleeves, and said calmly: "Your envoy is too anxious. If you don't have enough patience, you won't be able to wait for the sweetest fruit. My ancestor Tao Gong once taught me to wait for the sweetest fruit." , It doesn’t matter if you panic for a while, it doesn’t matter if you get stuck for a while, as long as you have patience and see the path under your feet, you will know which direction to go.”
He justified the panic of his own people with these words, while calmly throwing out the surname 'Tao'. If the other party is interested in this, he will not be unresponsive.
Sure enough, Wu Kui was taken aback for a moment.
After being stupefied, he narrowed his eyes and stared at Xie Tingyue closely. His breathing was short and he was obviously a little excited.
Xie Tingyue's heart became more confident, she smiled elegantly, and was very confident: "It's not us who can't stand the trouble, I'm afraid it's your envoy. What are you afraid of? I am safe and talented, can you see clearly?"
If you jump to conclusions without seeing clearly, you will lose miserably.
After Wu Kui got excited, he suddenly laughed: "As expected of Xie Er, who is famous for making mere cloth! Yes, we have no shortage of hardworking women and brave warriors, but we lack those who can do business, and the whole country admires them." Tao Gong has passed away for a long time, but it is a pity that heaven is jealous of talents, we were young and did not get the chance to meet, are you an apprentice?"
Xie Tingyue said of course not, but she couldn't say that, she had to hold the teacup and put on a show: "The envoy already has the answer in his heart, why bother to ask?"
"Hahaha—Ok!" Wu Kui waved his hand and asked his subordinates to form a circle to block prying eyes and ears from all directions. Looking at Xie Tingyue, his eyes were shining brightly, "Xie Er is smart, I will not talk nonsense. Good bird Choose trees to live in, good ministers choose masters to work on, Da'an hides filth, chaos is everywhere, and you can't show your talents to the fullest, it's time for you to think about the way forward."
This is almost a blunt solicitation-you follow us Chiman.
How could Xie Tingyue not hear it? Blowing on the tea soup, he politely refused: "Your Majesty's words are so ridiculous, my kiss is here, my husband is here, and our country is here, how dare you leave your hometown and ignore it?"
Wu Kui raised his eyebrows high: "You can't say that - you're still young after all, anyway, come here!"
He stretched out his hands and clapped his hands, motioning for the servants to bring something over.
The footsteps passed by in a hurry, and the servant quickly took a long brocade box. After opening it, there was a painting, which was very long, and it could only be displayed in front of the eyes when four tables were put together.
Wu Kui stretched out his hand to signal Xie Tingyue to take a look: "Please—"
Xie Tingyue walked to the table and was immediately shocked by the scene depicted in the painting.
This is a picture of a banquet, with bold strokes and bold colors. Every outline is very spiritual and rich in details. In the painting, there are masters, guests, friends and servants. The long scroll is full of nobles and banquets. Shown in front of your eyes, as if you are in the place and experiencing it yourself.
Especially in the position of guest of honor, the host wears a crown, which makes him look like a decent person. The guest sitting next to him only wears a moon white gown, without any valuable accessories, but his imposing manner is not lost at all. He has a broad forehead and sword eyebrows, a bright smile, and an elegant posture like a pine and cypress when he sits upright, but there is a pride in his eyes that can see thousands of mountains. He only has one eyebrow, and a slight smile makes people yearn for it!
"Pound-pound-pound-"
Xie Tingyue heard her own heartbeat.
It wasn't the nervous and frightening heartbeat, or the throbbing when facing Chu Mu. He couldn't describe this feeling. In short, he couldn't help but care about this person in the painting.
"This is "Picture of Banqueting Guests on Mount Qishan", which depicts my king's banquet scene." Wu Kui pointed to the guest of honor sitting next to the king, "Look, this is your teacher."
He really regarded Xie Tingyue as Tao Gong's apprentice.
"Tao Gong once had a good time with me, the first king of Chiman, and we had an old friend. This business has reached a certain level, regardless of the country. Do what you do and love what you do. The mission of your merchants is something that flows in your bones. Travel across thousands of mountains and rivers, look for more opportunities, and make more business. The vast space outside is your world. Those who are content in a corner are not worthy of being Tao Gong's disciples, nor are they worthy of being a businessman." Wu Kui's eyes lit up , "Tao Gong once wrote a book of his life's income, you are his disciple, presumably it was passed on to you?"
Xie Tingyue was shocked, while digesting the meaning of the other party's words: "Of course, business has no borders, but the people who do business have their homeland and country."
Book? what book? Where and why haven't I heard of it
Xie Tingyue didn't touch this question, and Wu Kui didn't pursue it, so it seems that it's not very important
Wu Kui looked at Xie Tingyue, and said earnestly: "So you are still young and haven't learned how to wean. Look at Mr. Tao, he is from Da'an, and he has made a lot of contributions to Da'an, such as so much wealth and students, but he doesn't It’s just a Da’an person. He helped us fight against our neighboring countries, and also helped our neighboring countries restrain your border barbarians in Da’an... Xie Er, don’t be so rigid, your affiliation is not a piece of dead land, a country, or a person, but It’s the whole world! You can do all the roads in the world, and you can do all the business in the world!”
A few words are majestic and full of enthusiasm.
Xie Tingyue's previous conjecture became more and more firm in her heart. Could it be that the mission really came for him!
But this is too unbelievable, he himself didn't know when he had friendship with Mr. Tao!
Xie Tingyue was preoccupied, and took the opportunity of looking at the painting carefully to think quietly. As she watched, her eyes suddenly fell on a person in the corner, and she pointed her finger: "This person... looks so weird."
"This is a sin slave from our place, but for everything like this, people have branded their identity to show their identity, nothing special." Wu Kui blinked and smiled meaningfully, "Everyone in the world, to put it bluntly, is all the same, selfish Self-interest, the pursuit of enjoyment, even if you don’t say it, it’s the same in your heart. No one wants to eat better, wear better, enjoy better things. Compared with you hypocrites in Da’an, we are more straightforward and generous in enjoying everything we can have , if you are willing, my king can definitely provide you with unimaginable benefits."
…
Chu Mu was taken by Long Qinglin to a small path with sparse flowers and trees.
In order to show fairness, must the suspect be brought to identify the scene
Long Qinglin pointed at the messy scene, squinting his eyes: "The prince is missing here, don't you recognize it?"
Chu Mu looked around, but smiled: "This is where the prince disappeared?"
Long Qing's face was full of anger: "What are you laughing at? You are so confident that your actions will not reveal your secrets?"
Chu Mu is quite relaxed, compared to before, he is really relaxed now.
When the words "Prince was assassinated" appeared, no one could remain indifferent. They didn't know what happened, so of course they would be nervous. Knowing what happened, they would understand how to deal with it.
Chu Mu has never seen the prince in his previous life, and all his impressions of him come from other people's descriptions. Some people say that the prince is tall and broad, with the style of a wise king, while others say that the prince is scheming and hides a knife in his smile. Today he has seen it with his own eyes. It feels different, very different.
The prince is indeed intelligent, has a city mansion, is quick-witted and thoughtful, and generous, but he does not behave like a villain. The prince seemed to be really ignorant of his existence, but he didn't resist. The moment the two met, they guessed something, decided something, and revealed some tacit code words. Others can't detect it, but he can understand it. .
Only he, Chu Mu, with his background and brain, could understand.
He was only skeptical before, but now seeing the things hanging on the chaotic branches, he is directly sure.
It was a small bundle of blue silk ribbons, nothing special, but others didn't know it, but as the eldest grandson of the Chu family, Chu Mu was very familiar with it.
There are elders and aunts in the family who serve in the first emperor's palace. They are not favored, but there is no danger. They are worried that the family is in a hurry, and they always use blue silk ribbons to repay their safety. There was an accident outside and there were many rumors, so my aunt sent someone to send this blue silk sash to show that she was safe.
To Chu Mu, this object was a sign of safety.
Only those who are the descendants of the Chu family, who have a very good relationship with the aunt in the imperial city, or those who pay close attention to the aunt, will know.
Don't know the Chu family? Don't know too noble
The prince is lying! And it was a deliberate lie, it wasn't Chu Mu who wanted to deceive, of course it was someone else!
Chu Mu glanced at Long Qinglin with a half-smile.
Is this really the prince's confidant
In a blink of an eye, Chu Mu understood the ins and outs. I'm afraid the prince was not assassinated, or the 'assassination' was a fact. The prince cooperated with the information he had detected before and took advantage of the situation, trying to catch who was behind it.
The cyan silk ribbon was intentionally hung between the branches, and it looked like it had left in a hurry and dropped it accidentally, but it was so conspicuous and neat, Chu Mu didn't believe that he would guess wrong.
in this way…
The corners of Chu Mu's lips raised slightly, and a slight smile appeared.
It's time to play with Long Qinglin.
No matter how deep some people hide, they still can't hold themselves back to death. This time, he will help the prince and send him a ride!
Chu Mu remained silent for a long time, unable to tell what he was thinking, Long Qinglin was very upset, tried his best to suppress his anger, and said calmly: "The prince disappeared here, the scene was messy, and there were traces of vomiting blood, the blood was black, obviously It's poisoning, and the prince has only met you before, it wasn't you who poisoned him, who else could it be? You confess earlier, tell the truth, and let me rescue the prince in time, or maybe atone for the crime, it's too late, The only thing waiting for you is the heinous crime of Zhu Jiu Clan, Chu Mu, you have to figure it out."
Chu Mu was very calm: "I ran into the prince by chance, and you have been by my side all the time. You should know that I just said a few words. I didn't give food or drink. How can I give birth? And this grand event, everyone who comes in Everyone has to be searched, if there is poison on my body, I will not be able to pass the search, Lord Long, planting is not such a method of planting."
Long Qinglin: "Everyone knows that the eldest son of Chu is very wise and close to monsters, who knows if you have other means to kill people invisible?"
Chu Mu: "Master Long said so, I think I am very familiar with these invisible methods of killing people, why don't I talk to a certain one, and let a certain one take a look at it?"
Long Qinglin: "I am asking you something."
Chu Mu: "I don't know what Mr. Long asked, but I accidentally heard about an organization called Genmiao—"
While he was talking, he seemed to be concentrating on observing Long Qinglin's expression. As soon as the word 'Gen Miao' came out, the other party's pupils shrank suddenly. Although he restrained himself quickly, Chu Mu already understood that Long Qinglin must know about the Genmiao organization!
With such a big change in expression, maybe it's not just because they know so lightly, but maybe there is cooperation. The person named Zhao Kang, who wanted to confuse him through the government, has been lurking in the Long family. It can't be such a simple coincidence, maybe... these people were originally in the same group.
There is no black market to buy it at a high price, and the cold pine smoke sent by Zhao Kang may have been ordered by the Genmiao organization!
Chu Mu didn't know what role Long Qinglin played in these matters, and what he wanted to do when the prince was assassinated today. There was too little information, so he couldn't figure it out. But who will benefit from this trouble today? Apart from other things, the mission must be happy.
So the Chiman mission...will it be included in these plans
Long Qinglin was in a deep mood, and it was difficult to deal with. There were too many changes today, and she couldn't hold back her nervousness. This opportunity is rare, so why not try it out together.
Just thinking about it, Chu Mu simply continued to catch the opponent by surprise: "Master Long doesn't know, maybe the mission knows?"
The bottom of Long Qinglin's eyes trembled slightly, and a deep emotion slipped by.
Regardless of whether he was afraid or was on guard or something else, in short, Chu Mu saw it.
I also have a number in my heart.
Long Qinglin narrowed his eyes, and his voice was very dangerous: "Chu Mu, I'm asking you on behalf of the imperial court. It's useless for you to gossip, it's better to tell the truth."
He pretended to be calm, and acted very decently, and most people would never see anything unusual.
It's a pity that Chu Mu is not an ordinary person. A lot of information has been connected together in his mind, some of which are still unclear, but some of the facts have been confirmed: "What I'm telling is the truth."
Since the crown prince was safe, Chu Mu no longer worried about his own safety, but Long Qinglin was here, why didn't the people from the mission come? Don't you want to see the result after making the game
Chu Mu's mind turned, and his heartstrings tensed immediately.
It's not that he is unimportant, but that there are more important people...
Thank you two!
Chu Mu's slender fingers pressing on the wheelchair instantly turned white.
Anyone who dares to touch him will seek death!
