"Grandpa, where are we going?"
The three-year-old girl leaned on her father's shoulder and asked in a milky tone. This is a round and jade-like little girl with such a lovely appearance. Her well-behaved appearance makes people want to love her, she doesn't cry or make trouble, besides, she has been in her father's arms for more than two hours.
Generally, a little girl of this age can't stand being boring.
But she won't, she seems to be an angel sent by heaven to her father, she will never make her father feel distressed, but will make her father feel happy and proud from the bottom of his heart.
"Grandpa is going out to do business."
Wu Yiyi answered with a smile.
He felt the warmth brought by his daughter's two small arms around his neck, and felt it carefully. Only his daughter is the supreme being in this world, surpassing his own life. Even the emperor's status in his heart is not as high as that of his daughter Wanyi.
Not as much as his deceased wife.
Wu Yidao believes that he is a businessman with a bottom line, and making money is the only purpose of doing business, but he will not do without any taboos in order to make money. In Wu Yidao's words, it is the rules that need to be respected, and what are the rules? It's just a hurdle in my heart that I can't get past.
The law can only restrain the self-disciplined.
Rules are of course in people's hearts.
"Where are we going this time?"
The daughter asked, without a trace of complaint or curiosity in her tone. This is a calm tone rarely seen by a young daughter, and she doesn't even have any expectations for where she is going. Because in her heart, as long as she is still in her father's arms, it doesn't matter where she is.
Perhaps, she just likes to chat with her father.
"Go to Jiangnan."
Wu Yidao replied: "Jiangnan is a place with unique scenery. You will see many beautiful things that you have never seen before, and you will also eat many delicacies that you have never tasted before."
"Um."
The daughter smiled: "Grandfather, are you tired?"
"Grandpa is not tired."
"I can go to the carriage."
"You can't see the outside scenery from the carriage."
"As long as I can see Grandpa."
"Then I'll ride with you."
The father and daughter got off the horse, and a fat young man floated over, as light as a big catkin, which was amazing. He grabbed the reins and helped Wu Yiyi get off the horse. This fat man looks very kind, even the most crying child will not hate his face.
"Master, are you tired?"
the fat man asked.
"Um."
Wu Yidao nodded: "Send someone to arrange board and lodging first, this time we will go to Jiangnan for at least a month, and I have to meet some merchants on the way. People from the Zhou family in Jiangbei Province are already waiting. One-fifth of the large-scale commercial fleet on the Yangtze River is owned by the Zhou family, and if you want to do business in Eastern Chu, you cannot do without the fleet."
"It's a pity... There are not many decent people in the Zhou family's generation, and they live on their ancestral property. Such a good fleet, but they are squeezed out by those families in the south of the Yangtze River, and they almost have no way to go on the Yangtze River."
The fat man laughed and said, "If it wasn't for the incompetence of the Zhou family, it would be difficult for us to find opportunities."
Wu Yidao nodded: "Although you've only been with me for half a year, I've been watching your abilities. In the future, there will be more and more business in the firm, and I will let you out to be the shopkeeper after a while."
"don't want."
The fat man shook his head: "It's not free to be a shopkeeper, and you have to worry about it. It's far less comfortable to do errands that you make up your own mind than to follow orders. I'm so lazy, so I don't want to ruin your business. However, in the business field I can share some of the other things for my grandfather."
Wu Yiyi took a look at Fatty and couldn't help but smile: "You still can't forget your origin."
"I will never forget it."
The fat man was a little emotional: "The second prince raised us for so many years, and what he raised was murderous. It's a pity that the second prince fell before our group of people were useful. But I was luckier than others. I met Here you go."
"You didn't meet me, I found you."
Wu Yidao asked: "When I brought you out of the prison, you were a thin man. You were the thinnest among those people, but the others avoided you, so I noticed you."
The fat man couldn't help laughing: "I'm thin because there is no food in the prison... Those people are far away from me because they can't beat me. After His Majesty ascended the throne, a large number of masters from the second Ouchi guard took us all We were released, and then left in the cell without any attention. There was no interrogation. We all knew that we were just waiting for the time of death. Because of this, those people at the Ouchi guards didn’t even give us food, because They also know that our ending is waiting to be killed, and what we eat is a waste of food. And that group of perverts deliberately forced us to eat people when we were too hungry. They watched it for fun as if they were watching a show. "
He said these words with a smile, but the coldness in them can reach the bones of a person.
"People eat people... I don't want to eat them, and they can't eat me, so they have to avoid me."
In the fat man's indifferent words, there was a sense of desolation and helplessness.
"By the way, Lord, when you mentioned me, you said that if you want to follow you well, you can't have anything to do with your original companions. Those people..."
"died."
Wu Yidao replied flatly: "I killed them, one by one."
The fat man was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly understood what Wu Yidao meant, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes immediately.
"Do you know why?"
Wu asked together.
The fat man nodded: "Understood."
Wu Daodao hummed: "I want to use you, but I don't know if you will be easy to use. So I must be able to control you, and the best way to understand you is to recruit people who have received the same training as you one by one. If you kill it, you can always find your weakness."
This is so straightforward, without a trace of concealment. On the contrary, the fat man has no complaints or anger, because he knows that a frank boss is far more comfortable than a boss who doesn't say anything.
"You have gained weight, but you are more pleasing to the eye than before."
Wu said together.
The fat man smiled and nodded: "Because eating, drinking, and sleeping are so comfortable."
Wu Yiyi said slowly: "Wolves can't be fattened, and those who can fatten up are not wolves."
…
…
The carriage stopped, and so did the fat man.
There was a man standing in the middle of the official road in front, dressed in white, he didn't look like a quack, more like a wealthy son of some family traveling alone. The clothes were so white, it was so white that one felt that it could not be made of human fabrics. And that person has neither quack spirit nor bookish spirit, only a kind of naturalness.
So wine, sex and money are a little scary.
He looked back at the carriage and found Wu Yiyi getting off the carriage with the child in his arms.
"Can we talk?"
Wu Yidao asked the white-clothed man in the middle of the official road, and the people in the team couldn't understand what he said. They didn't understand why Wu Yidao would ask such a question. Knowing about wine, sex and wealth, Wu Yidao asked if he could talk about these three words, but in fact he was already showing weakness. Jiu Se Cai didn't know how high Wu Yiyi's cultivation was, but he knew that if Wu Yiyi could only solve the problem by talking, then he had no other way.
"It was here to talk."
The man in white on the opposite side said something, then turned and walked into the forest on the side of the official road.
Wu Yidao originally wanted to hand over the child to Jiu Se Cai, but in the end he chose to hug her and follow her.
"If I don't come out, you can go, you don't have to go back to Chang'an. If I can't go back, you might as well not go back."
He said.
Jiu Se Cai nodded, then gritted his teeth and followed.
"You don't have to follow."
Wu said together.
Jiu Se Cai said helplessly: "Following the past, I may see a lot of things I shouldn't see and hear a lot of things I shouldn't hear, but if I don't follow, I will always be far away from the word "confidant". Follow the past, From now on, my life will be attached to yours."
Wu Yidao didn't say anything, and walked into the woods.
The man in white just stood there, but Wu Yidao and Jiu Secai felt that every muscle in their bodies was tensed. So much so that the sleeping daughter in Wu Yidao's arms seemed to feel a little uncomfortable in her father's arms, and frowned slightly in her sleep.
"Who are you?"
Wu Yidao only asked this question after swallowing a mouthful of spittle, because this man in white put too much pressure on him.
"I came here specifically to find you, it doesn't matter who it is."
The man in white turned around, and then something flickered in his eyes.
"Your daughter is very qualified."
He said.
"Thanks."
Wu Yiyi thanked him earnestly.
"What's up?"
he asks.
The man in white took a look at the wine and wealth and said to Wu Yidao: "I should congratulate you, you are not raising a wolf. But I don't want the third person to hear what I want to tell you today. Because he followed You'll trust him more, but I'll kill him, soon."
The corner of Jiu Se Cai's mouth twitched involuntarily, and then he pressed his palm on his forehead. The strength was not small, but it was very precise, and his body staggered and fell down.
"What do you want? Or what do you want me to do?"
Wu asked together.
"the latter."
The man in white replied: "I came to you because I know that you are doing things for the Emperor of the Sui Dynasty, and you have done a lot. I want you to make your business bigger, so big that you can sell goods all over the world. But, When one day you will face a choice, the choice will be difficult."
"It doesn't have to be difficult."
Wu Yidao patted his daughter's back lightly, because he knew that only in this way could she sleep soundly.
"Nothing is hard for me if my daughter isn't involved."
"good."
The man in white nodded: "It seems that I didn't choose the wrong person. I need a person who knows the times and can change, but I don't need this person who has no bottom line. I am very satisfied that you have your daughter, so... I will send it to you first." You have a chance."
…
…
"In the future, people from Tonggu Academy will take care of you, even if it's just a little bit, and you will be able to do things smoothly in Jiangnan. It is not difficult for you to do business in a commercial firm, but it is difficult to make money in the world."
The man in white glanced at Wu Yidao, whose forehead was covered with sweat: "It's a bit uncomfortable to learn this exercise at first, just get over it."
"What is this technique called?"
Wu Yiyi gritted his teeth and asked.
"Swallow the sky."
The man in white replied, and then continued: "I will give you the opportunity, give you help, and let you make the business bigger. It is not for the emperor of the Sui Dynasty, nor for myself. I need you to wait for someone to appear. When this person needs When you help, you spare no effort."
"who?"
Wu asked together.
"He's a kid now... a very interesting kid."
The man in white looked to the south, as if he saw something: "I don't even need to tell you who he is. When he appears in front of you, you will definitely think it is him. I don't need you to go to Help him, but at the right time."
"When is it?"
Wu Yi asked again.
"When he grows up."
The man in white said slowly, "The world will be in chaos."
"Da Sui is as stable as a mountain, how could it be chaotic?"
Wu Yidao asked with some disbelief.
"Because I say the world is in chaos, the world will be in chaos."
The man in white replied lightly, and then disappeared suddenly.
"Cargo travels all over the world..."
Looking at the direction in which the white-clothed man disappeared, Wu Yidao muttered to himself. These five words seemed to attract him with great magical power.
