In the cold wind, He Mulan explained her purpose.
Even colder than the cold wind, was Gai Wu's mood when he knew that he had misunderstood.
"...You came to Chen Jun secretly, and then entered the Yuanjia Wubi, which is naturally suspicious. Yuan Fang's position is unclear, and you have had a lot of contact with Yuan Fang, so we came."
Seeing that Gai Wu had finally learned to breathe properly, He Mulan was relieved.
If he can't catch his breath and die here, she will have a lot of trouble.
"Is it for us?" Gai Wu lowered his head and covered his mouth. "Well, after all, it's still for Yuan Fang."
He raised his head.
"What do you want to know?"
"You're willing to help us? Why?"
Not to mention He Mulan refused to believe it, even the egrets hiding in the rockery formed by lakes and rocks all showed expressions of disbelief.
"I want Yuan Fang to be unlucky." Gai Wu smiled gloomily. "I am also a Hu person. He made such a windward pavilion and treated our alien sisters like pigs, dogs and beasts. Why should I help him?"
So he never touches the women in there, because he has the compassion of "things hurt their kind".
They are all the same people, just because they have different appearances and different beliefs, they become "good stuff" in the eyes of others, and they are sold here and there.
They, Lu Shuihu, are stubborn and unwilling to give in. They are willing to learn martial arts since childhood and exchange their lives for the respect of others. If not, they would not be any better than the fate of these orchids.
This world is like this, but why should he obey this world
There is a Buddhist saying: "All appearances are false." Since everything is false, what he does is false in the end, so why can't he do what he thinks
"...for this reason?"
He Mulan never thought that Gai Wu would not hesitate to offend Yuan Fang for this.
"The Buddha said that all living beings are equal."
As long as Gai Wu thinks of the orchid who made the white horse complete, and the beard women who were sent to usher in the Windward Pavilion to be courteously courted by the men, his whole body will feel cold, but his head will be as hot as fire. When you get up, you can only calm down by carving wood.
"Only you know what I'm angry about." He Mulan's eyes flashed with light. "On this basis, you are a person worth making friends."
"Um?"
"I said, although your behavior is a little bit of a bastard, you're a bit out of order." He Mulan praised sincerely: "Actually, you are a good person."
She is complimenting me.
But why do I feel weird
where is wrong
Gai Wu touched his chest.
It was because of the praise of "Mulan" that "bang bang bang bang" was beating violently.
"I want to know if Yuan Fang has internal cooperation with the enemy country."
"It's not so much that he is an internal collaborator, it is better to say that he can't forget the old master. Their Yuan family originally belonged to Liu Song, and they were forced to return to Wei after the four states were captured. I don't know how many there are, but the Yuan family is the most powerful and the most important, so it becomes important."
Gai Wu is not simply a warrior, but he is also eloquent in analyzing the situation: "The Yuan family not only has friends with Liu Song, but also with the powerful people of Wei in the north, so it can stand up to now. In Chen County, only the Yuan family can easily do it. He smuggled the hundreds of men and horses I went south to the Song country, but if you ask me if he has taken refuge in the Song country, then I don't know."
"... How did he send you there?" The Wei-Song border was guarded by heavy troops. If you want to pass through the border, don't even think about going there unless you use force.
"From the waterway. The nobles from the Song state that the Yuan family made friends with all have subordinates along the Feishui River. As long as the wind direction is right, we can reach the Song land by boat. There is a dark river under the Yuan family's Wubi, and the dark river goes out. That tributary goes straight to the Feishui River, this is the biggest secret of the Yuan family, and it is also the reason why the Yuan family can continuously get southern goods."
***
A clear pumping sound suddenly sounded behind the lake stone.
He Mulan and Gai Wuzheng, who were a little further away, were immersed in the conversation. Naturally, they didn't hear the gasping sound that suppressed their voices, but the egrets hiding in the lake and rocks were sleeping with the man who was supposed to be disguised as a woman. Mrs. Di Ji in the bedroom could hear it clearly.
These egrets are good at hiding and reconnaissance, and they are 100% sure that when they are lurking around this lake rock, there is absolutely no one else nearby.
Could it be that this Yanfei Building, where guests are served, is really like a sieve, with secret passages everywhere? Gai Wu appeared silently, how could the owner of this gasping voice appear silently
Then he was really unlucky, and met the most powerful assassins in Wei.
"Catch him!" Di Yefei, who was also hiding in the lake rock rockery, ordered in a low voice. "Don't make a noise."
The two best egrets bent over and swept out as lightly as cats. After a very low muffled sound, only one of the two egrets came in, and said to the people in the cave with a strange expression: "It's the young master of the Yuan family who wants to see Mrs. Di Ji during the day, and he also brings three Four people. It's faint now..."
"How to do?"
This lake stone is a rockery made of stones. Inside, there are ingenious stone paths winding up and acupoints that can enter the rockery. But even so, this is a rockery. It is the limit to hide four or five people. It's definitely not enough to drag another adult in, let alone three or four others.
Di Yefei also felt troublesome now.
This is not a cat or a dog that can disappear at any time, Yuan Fang has no children, this is the next head of the Yuan family Wubi, who has an important identity second only to Yuan Fang.
"General Di..." Another egret stepped in. "There is a tunnel not far away, and there are people coming this way, some with wooden barrels behind their backs and weapons."
While he was talking, someone started to make a sound.
"It's the Young Sect Master, how did the Young Sect Master and Wang Lin faint!"
This time, even if Gai Wu and He Mulan were slow, they would hear the movement.
"Who is there!"
He Mulan gave Gai Wu a gesture to hide, and ran to the place where the sound came from. Those latecomers probably also thought it was bad, but they were suffering from not being able to run fast with the bucket on their backs, and their master was lying on the ground again, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, and was caught in the middle of a dilemma by He Mulan.
"Who are you? Why are you sneaking around in the Yanfei Building?"
He Mulan pulled out the sword from her waist, and when the sword was unsheathed, there was a soft sound of "Kangcang", and the few people from the Yuanjia Wubi didn't dare to stay any longer, so they turned around and ran away.
As soon as Gai Wu saw outsiders, he immediately rushed into the most suitable place for Tibetans...
—In the rockery formed by the lake and stone.
Di Yefei and a few egrets were listening to the movement outside, considering whether to go out and help He Mulan, when suddenly a tall and thin figure came in, also hiding in a hidden place to look out.
It was dark at night, and the egrets and Di Yefei were all hidden in the shadows. Gai Wu naturally didn't find them, but the egrets were all terrified.
The egret official called the second child moved his mouth like a goldfish and shook his hands wildly, while the third child covered his mouth and didn't even dare to make a sound.
Outside the rockery, He Mulan easily captured a few sneaky people who couldn't escape. How fast could he run with a bucket on his back? She even kicked and broke their legs so he could no longer run.
The barrel rope on one person's back broke and fell to the ground at once. After rolling on the ground for a while, it shattered and shattered. The pungent smell came out immediately, and everyone who irritated was shocked.
It's kerosene!
What do you do with so much kerosene in the middle of the night!
The movement on this side has already disturbed the Yan Fei Building, the torches on the Yan Fei Building are getting brighter and brighter, and there is a faint noise coming out.
This building has always been used by Yuanjia Wubi to entertain guests, and there are many servants on the ground floor waiting to serve. He Mulan and the egrets used ropes to descend from the second floor. Naturally, they did not disturb the people downstairs, but the movement was too loud at this time, and it was very quiet in the middle of the night, and the sound of the broken oil drum suddenly came out.
She glanced at Yuan Zhen, who was lying at her feet, wondering what he saw and whether it would ruin her own affairs. Then she looked at the servants of the Yuan family who were shaking like chaff, and sighed.
"You can only be wronged."
She stretched out her hand in the eyes of everyone's fear...
They knocked them out one by one.
'It's so strange, the egret should come to swipe its tail at this time, why didn't anyone come out? '
Looking at the uninvited guest who fell to the ground, He Mulan said softly:
"Gai Wu, the man has been brought down, you should go!"
Gai Wu appeared from the rockery, revealing that he was touching He Mulan's chest and salute: "This Yanfei Building is full of secret passages, so be careful."
He looked at everyone on the ground, especially Yuan Zhen, and was very surprised. "You killed them?"
"Of course not! I just knocked them out!"
Of course, Gai Wu's tone of voice startled He Mulan.
Who would kill someone inexplicably!
"Actually, it's a good thing to kill, just drag it to a tunnel and hide it. It's just that time is too late." Gai Wu looked at the torches that had already begun to move here. "I'll go back first. If there is any trouble, send someone to Yingfeng Pavilion to deliver a letter, and we Lushuihu people will send you out!"
Liu Song's land can be visited or not. In his heart, for the sake of business ventures, it is better to make friends with Hua Mulan. At least Hua Mulan is a master who is hard to find in the world, and that one is just the prince who is about to lose power and is in precarious time.
Finally, the two of them had a bit of an intersection. Compared with Hua Mulan, Yuan Jia Wubi was nothing.
Gai Wu dropped those words, ran wildly, and disappeared from He Mulan's sight all of a sudden.
As Gai Wu left, the egrets finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Just really scared to death!
If I were seen, wouldn't the relationship that I finally built up froze!
It was agreed that the two had a secret conversation, and as a result, a bunch of people were ambushed.
Only Di Yefei's face was not very good.
The Yanfei Building is obviously where the Yuan family monitors the guests, and there are many passages. Otherwise, Gai Wu would not have said such words, and Yuan Zhen would not have brought his servants and kerosene to this secluded place in the middle of the night for no reason.
Although the Yanfei Building was guarded by county soldiers borrowed by the prefect, it was the Yuan family's place after all. What if there was a secret passage leading directly to the Yanfei Building? Wasn't it burnt all at once
"Mrs. Di Ji" and "Iron Lady" are both on the top floor. When they run down, they don't know what has been burned. The whole building is made of wood. Now it's winter again, and the weather is dry...
Could Yuan Fang have already seen that they were wrong
Or is it Yuan Zhen's own assertion
Di Yefei and a group of egrets hid in the rockery and did not dare to act rashly. A group of county soldiers and several members of the Yuan family had already rushed to the lake.
He Mulan stood in the "dead corpses" (??), looking at the people who came running with torches and lanterns, showing a contemptuous smile: "I just came out for a walk in the middle of the night..."
"I didn't expect to catch a bunch of stupid thieves."
***
"Why did Zhen'er appear in Yanfeilou in the middle of the night? You said that Mrs. Tie caught him?" Yuan Fang immediately got up from the bed after hearing Song Er's words.
Song Er's face was not necessarily better than Yuan Fang's.
"I told you before that your nephew only knows how to play tricks to sell cleverness and act viciously. Except for his face, he is not suitable to be the head of the family. He took a group of guards from the dark passage in the middle of the night. Yan Fei Building, carrying kerosene and a scythe, wanting to set fire to Yan Fei Building..."
"How is that possible!" Yuan Fang was so shocked that he didn't put on his shoes for a long time, he kicked away the personal maid who was waiting for him, and just stood up wearing socks.
"Iron Lady sent one of them to report. When the servant reported to me, he was covered in kerosene, and I was so shocked that I didn't even dare to sleep. Then you are my nephew's confidant, and he is one to five. After ten said, there can still be fakes!"
"I have already made it clear to him in the day that Mrs. Di Ji is a guest and must not be neglected!"
"I'm afraid it's your words that stimulated him. He's been used to it for many years, and your orchid he also sleeps when he wants to, and gives it away when he wants to. Suddenly encountering someone he can't touch, I'm afraid he has to think more. It's not Your son, relying on himself as the only bloodline of the Yuan family, can't help people worry at all!"
Mr. Song Er stood beside Yuan Fang, and said without looking like a servant: "Behind this Mrs. Di Ji is the prefect of Fei Yu, although it is said that she is not a relative, but it is difficult to guarantee whether this Mrs. Di Ji has other connections. If you make any twists and turns that ruin our major affairs, don't blame us for being rude!"
Mr. Song Er has always been worried that the stunning female wealthy businessman has hooked Yuan Fang's soul, so he can do whatever he wants with other bought orchids. Only this unidentified lady can only negotiate business, not emotions. also agreed.
In the past few days, it seems that although Yuan Fang is a little bit more enthusiastic about Mrs. Di Ji, she has not posted it in front of others, and she has rarely met Mrs. Di Ji. Although Song Er didn't believe that Yuan Fang would just let such a stunning beauty go, he could only always be by his side to raise points.
Now it seems that there is nothing wrong with Yuan Fang, but this young master of the Yuan family is a dou who can't be helped!
Now even he has no way to go back and deal with the master!
"Stop talking. The question now is how to get Yuan Zhen back and remedy it as soon as possible."
Yuan Fang began to put on his own shoes.
"I hope Mr. Song Er will teach me."
"Teach, how to teach? Your good nephew took someone to burn the building, and that would cost hundreds of lives! There is a tunnel outside the place where you entertain guests, and you can turn your face if you change it? That Mrs. Di Ji is not empty-headed. The idiot, she found the partition wall and copper pipes as soon as she moved in, would she not be suspicious?"
Mr. Song Er said very rudely.
"I'm afraid it's because she doesn't believe us that the Iron Lady will patrol around without rest in the middle of the night. It's really justifiable."
Song Er frowned.
"Or else, just use force!"
"No!" Yuan Fang hurriedly said, and paused again, "My nephew is still in their hands!"
"Then you go to the door in person, and go to the door!".
Inside the Yanfei Building, He Mulan and the others had more headaches than Yuan Fang.
"What should we do now? We can't keep covering Yuan Zhen's mouth, can we?" He Mulan's face didn't have the sternness that he had when arresting someone just now. "I don't even know when he came or how much I heard."
"We already know what we want to know. What we need to do next is to find a way to safely leave the walls of the Yuan family." Yuan Zhen is now tied up in the main room with copper pipes and partition walls, and there are also personal soldiers. Guard, even if you wake up, you can't get away.
"This person can't be released for the time being. When we leave Yuanjia Wubi safely, forgive them and they won't be able to find Mrs. Di Ji and 'Iron Lady'."
Di Yefei looked at a woman's dress and frowned in disgust.
"It's just that the situation in the south is complicated. If there was such a clan in the northwest, it would have been trampled by iron hooves long ago."
"It's because of your simple and rude methods that the Northwest has repeatedly oppressed. Don't you guys try to find the reason?" He Mulan rolled her eyes, "I'll leave this to you. I'm a woman anyway. Samurai leader, you are the 'Queen'."
Di Yefei was not at all worried about what would happen to Yuan Fang. Now it's Yuan Fang's fault, and the only bloodline of the Yuan family is in her hands. Not to mention that "Mrs. Di Ji" is just "too frightened" and wants to go back to Xiang County. At this time, he wants to extort money. Yuan There is no way to let go.
The next thing to do is to wait.
Di Yefei and He Mulan both thought that even if Yuan Fang didn't come to ask for someone right away, he would at least send a housekeeper or something to appease him.
As a result, it was not until breakfast the next morning that Yuan Fang brought Mr. Song Er and several important family members to meet him in a hurry, hoping to talk about what happened last night.
At this time, He Mulan was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes. She wanted to discuss matters with Gai Wu in the middle of the night, and stayed up until the middle of the night without sleeping. In the latter half of the night, she was worried that Yuan Fang would come to grab people hard, and she kept her awake all the time. Before and after the sun comes out is the most sleepy time for people who stay up late. Di Yefei, who is mentally strong, can actually take a nap after such a big incident, but she has to keep her eyes open and wait for the attack that will appear. .
Really more popular than dead people.
In the main hall of Yan Fei Building, the "Mrs. Di Ji" in a purple and purple dress is still so bright and moving, but her face is pale, and there is even a faint shadow (drawn) under her eyes.
The loyal female warrior behind her is still the same resolute and unspoken look, her body is standing upright, her eyes are looking straight ahead, neither sad nor happy.
Seeing this situation, Yuan Fang showed his apology, and said straight to the point: "I already know everything about Tong yesterday, this is the fault of the Yuan family, and I will never refuse. I just hope that Mrs. Di Ji will give me a chance to make up for your suffering. The loss after the fright."
When Di Yefei really wanted to cheat people, he didn't blink.
"Patriarch Yuan, before coming to Yuanjia Wubi to discuss business with you, Prefect Fei Yu persuaded me not to come. After all, I am a woman, and you prefer Hu Ji, so you can't let people think too much. I believe in my subordinates. I believe that you are not someone who will be dazzled, so you came to Yuanjiawu to discuss in person, hoping to show the sincerity of both parties and negotiate the cooperation."
Mrs. Dickey smiled miserably.
"But I don't know that the Yuan family doesn't want my people, but my life. I have no grievances with you, and there is no righteousness in buying and selling. If I go to buy other shops, why should I kill people? come?"
As soon as Mrs. Di Ji ran against Yuan Fang's words, Mr. Song Er and a few stewards behind him looked slightly ugly.
On the contrary, Yuan Fang still had that very remorseful expression, shaking his head again and again.
"Madam is indeed a beauty. If you say that Yuan is not tempted, it must be a lie. It's just that there are thousands of beauties in this world. I can still tell who is a guest who deserves equal status and who is a favorite girl who can be raised. Yes. It was not because Yuan wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to keep his wife under the pretext of keeping his wife, but for another reason."
This Fatty Yuan is very eloquent.
He Mulan's head was dizzy, and what he said was vague. She could only stare at the front with wide eyes, trying not to close her eyelids.
"I don't understand. Did you keep me here because you wanted to burn our group to death in this building?" Di Yefei wouldn't be led by his nose. "How many secret passages are there in this Yanfei Building? As long as I think that when I close my eyes, someone will sneak into my room, and I don't even dare to close my eyes!"
Yuan Fang did not expect that Mrs. Di Ji did not follow what he said at all, and could only explain weakly: "Yuanjia Wubi was built by the ancestors. Since it is to defend against outsiders' attacks, there are many natural organs. It is not just Yanfeilou. In this way. This is also for the safety of the occupants. If there is an emergency, they will not be surrounded to death at once. If it is only aimed at the lady, it is a serious statement. "
Di Yefei was secretly surprised.
According to Yuan Fang's meaning, not only this Yanfei Building has secret passages, but there are secret passages everywhere. Gai Wu said that he went to Liu Song through the underground river of the Yuan family, so there must be underground water sources. If you want to destroy the Yuan family, unless you break it from the inside and capture the head of the family in one fell swoop, the Yuan family will extend in all directions, and he has too many ways to escape.
"Well, I know that Mrs. Di Ji must have been frightened a lot, and it's useless to say it. My nephew has been worried that if I find a lady, he will no longer love him. It's all of us adults spoiled." Yuan Fang paused, "I originally wanted to wait for Mrs. Di Ji and I to get acquainted with me before bringing this up, but now, in order to show my sincerity, I'd better say it first."
"Mrs. Di Ji, I know that you have the rare brew 'Beauty Tears' from the Western Regions. There are countless rare Western Regions that you want to trade with your caravan. I wonder if you are interested in cooperating with the Yuan family and making a fortune?"
"Oh? What does the head of the family mean?" Di Yefei sat up straight, showing interest.
Yuan Fang glanced at Mr. Song Er, and this was exactly what they came up with at night.
Using interests to bind the two sides together, even if there is a revenge for killing relatives, they can temporarily cooperate, let alone a false alarm.
"Although Xiangcheng is located in a rich and prosperous place in the south, Dawei has not been in business for a long time. It is not comparable to Luoyang, where the Han people gather with high gates, and Pingcheng, where the Xianbei aristocrats gather. I know that Madam chose this place because of the protection of Prefect Fei Yu, but Prefect Fei Yu has been here for four years, and his political achievements are all excellent. Maybe he will soon be promoted. It is not easy for a businessman like us to open up a new business route. By then, Mrs. less trouble."
Yuan Fang was overjoyed when he saw that Mrs. Di Ji listened carefully.
There is a door!
He Mulan's eyes were about to close, and Di Yefei suddenly said to herself:
"Miss Tie, Young Master Yuan must have woken up at this time, and told his family not to neglect him. If he wakes up, remember to wait on him to wash and eat."
He Mulan woke up all of a sudden, said something very dangerous, and hurriedly said yes and went to the main room.
She knew that this was for Yuan Fang, so she ordered the egrets very casually, and seeing that Yuan Zhen was not awake at all, she only told him not to untie his rope, and not to lose someone to guard him, to wake up. In order to get something to eat and drink, I just found a cloth towel and asked for a basin of water, washed my face with cold water and sobered up.
Yuan Fang couldn't hold Mrs. Di Ji away from Tie Niang, because she couldn't trust Tie Niang, or she deliberately showed her kindness. But he kept saying it, and continued to show his favor:
"Prefect Fei Yu won't be an official here forever, but the Yuan family's Wubi can't run away. My Yuan family has been operating here for several generations, the walls of Wubi are high, and there are thousands of yin households, which is suitable for long-term cooperation. Madam is willing to clear up the past and return it to my nephew, and I am willing to share the business route with Liu Song with Madam, and help Madam to open up the situation in the south!"
"Patriarch Yuan is really affectionate towards your nephew."
"I'm just such a blood relative, so naturally I have to worry more."
Yuan Fang let out a long sigh.
What Di Yefei said was true. This Yuan Fang must have wanted to observe for a while before deciding whether to cooperate or not, and maybe have other plans to take a dominant position in this negotiation.
"Lonely Step into a Fairy"
But being so troubled by his unclear-minded nephew, he could only show his favor first and take the initiative to hand over the dominance to her.
It's a pity that he is not Mrs. Di Ji, and he doesn't have any goods to sell in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Otherwise, it's really hard to guarantee whether "Mrs. Di Ji" will be tempted.
"Patriarch Yuan, you are now the master of Wubi. You said that you would like you and me to put aside the quarrel and work together. I naturally believed it. But my nephew and I have a disagreement, and it is difficult to guarantee the unhappiness in the future. The so-called cooperation , of course, the two sides must trust each other to continue. I don't want to come back to Yuanjia Wubi again, and be burned into firewood for no reason. I can't always ask the prefect to borrow the soldiers..."
What he said was also true. No one can guarantee that this young patriarch is not hostile to "her". If he deliberately stumbles again in the future, let alone doing business, he may be empty of money and people, and he will die without knowing how to die.
Yuan Fang despised that kind of delicate orchid from the bottom of his heart, thinking that they can only become all things, and they are shenyin under men. He collects beautiful orchids from all over the world, whether it is some clever tricks, or the hot-tempered one on the top of the windward attic, once he lures them with bribes and suppresses them with power, as long as he uses some tricks, he will obey him obediently and let him Apply for.
But the Mrs. Di Ji in front of him is really not to be underestimated. When she speaks, she leads the situation to her advantage, and repeatedly reminds him that his nephew is still in her hands. But there is no idea of tearing his face or not talking about it at all.
If she said she was not interested in this business, she was full of anger, and she asked her confidant Iron Lady to treat his imprisoned nephew well; but if she said she wanted to do this business, she should go down the stairs now and think of something. Do it for your own good.
As a result, she did not enter the oil and salt, and he was only willing to continue talking until he ensured her safety first.
Or is it that she was really scared by the little beast, and has already given birth to retreat
If this is the case, hurry up and give some benefits, even if it is to pay more property, just send her away obediently.
"If Mrs. Di Ji really doesn't believe in the Yuan family, my Yuan family is willing to give the few shops in Datongfang to the madam as an apology. From now on, as long as Mrs. Di Ji comes to the Wubi of Yuan's family, my Yuan family will be fully polite. Respected as a guest." Yuan Fang couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Mrs. Di Ji also has no children, so she should know the pain of not having children. My Yuan family has this bloodline, and I hope that Madam Di Ji will be able to help her."
Di Yefei wasn't the real Mrs. Di Ji, so naturally she didn't feel much, but the "Iron Lady" had just returned. He saw Mulan and remembered that Su Hejun had told him about Mulan's infertility, and suddenly The campaign was launched.
Is it really so scary to have no children? Would you rather keep wiping your ass for a bastard, just to let a guy named Yuan sit in that seat
Although it is natural for blood to continue, this world can connect two unrelated people into one, and most of the time it has nothing to do with offspring. Why does the world value children and blood so much, and even make a smart person like Yuan Fang become blind and compromise
"Ma'am, things are done."
Seeing Di Yefei looking at her, He Mulan was stunned, thinking that she was coming back too slowly, and quickly explained to Yuan Fang: "I've confirmed it myself, Master Yuan is fine now."
Yuan Fang breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Tie Niangzi's words, showing a concerned expression:
"Mrs. Di Ji, I have expressed all the sincerity I can offer. If you are willing to let go of your heart and cooperate with my Yuan family, Liu Song's huge business routes will be opened to you. Liu Song has all kinds of craftsmanship, and the silk and jewelry are ingenious. Far from being comparable to the North, even in the Western Regions, Liu Song's silks and utensils are very popular."
"If you really don't want to, my Yuan family will immediately send the land deeds for those shops, and send you back to Xiangcheng respectfully and never break your promise."
This time, whether it was He Mulan, Yuan Fang, or even Mr. Song Er and other confidants, they all looked at "Mrs. Di Ji", waiting for her decision.
Anyone can see that the best policy at this time is to agree to cooperate with Yuan Fang, and the merchants can make profits. What's more, Mrs. Di Ji had personally been to the market, and she naturally knew that the Yuan family must have some channel to smuggle things into Wei for a long time, otherwise there would not be so many southern specialties for sale. Now agree first, hold Yuan Zhen and then negotiate with Yuan Fang slowly, this is what a smart person does.
Even if Mrs. Di Ji is really an ignorant woman, she just wants to get some benefits and get out of here quickly. Yuan Fang has enough sincerity to throw out a few shops to redeem Yuan Zhen. Datongfang in Xiang County was the most important place for businessmen in Chen County, and the shops there were very valuable, otherwise Mrs. Di Ji would not have come in person for a few shops and risked being invaded by evil spirits.
This is the middle strategy and the safest way to do it.
The so-called last resort is to continue to seek justice with the master here. Not to mention that they are now in other people's territory, dealing with a large number of people, even if Yuan Zhen is really heartbroken and has set fire to the Yanfei Building, in the current situation of Mrs. Di Ji, in addition to going back to Xiang County to file a complaint with the prefect of Fei Yu. , can't do anything.
It is not without reason why Zong Qiang even compromised with the court and came up with a "suzerain supervision system".
Di Yefei thought about it, they were all acting, and it would be easier to deal with it if they played bigger. At this time, he took a few shops and slipped away. Since then, there will never be such a chance to inquire about the truth in the walls of the Yuan family. Second, the son of the Yuan family seems to have overheard the conversation between Gai Wu and Hua Mulan. Handing it back, if the alliance failed, it turned out to be revenge. Knowing the secret of the Yuan family's underground waterway, it was not a cooperative relationship.
So Di Yefei thought for a while, and asked Yuan Fang: "If I cooperate with you, how will I share it? How can you guarantee that I will make a profit? How to ensure the safety of the trade route of the company? Since we want to cooperate, these must be made clear in advance."
"And Yuan Zhen, I have to decide how to cooperate with you before I can return him to you."
"That little bastard offended Madam and let him endure hardship at your place is considered to give him some growth." Yuan Fang was overjoyed when Madam Di Ji finally expressed her stance.
"Since it is cooperation, it is naturally the number of five or five."
He had heard that the prefect's wife Fei Yu had also participated in the business with this Lady Di Ji. If he could follow the path of the prefect of Chen Jun and let him turn a blind eye from now on, he would not need to be so careful as he has done in the past few years.
"Whether it's Shanshan's peerless brew 'Beauty Tears', or the rare treasures of the Western Regions, my Yuan family buys a copy of the same amount, or just invests half of it. When the things are shipped to Liu Song, I am responsible for the sales, and the profits I get will be divided into half and settled in gold, silver or silk, which is easy to say. If Madam wants to buy anything, it will be taken from your share of the payment. For the matter of your sale of southern goods, I will The Yuan family doesn't interfere, and only takes 10% of the errand money, how about that?"
"It sounds fair, and I'm not allowed to worry about the goods arriving in the south. But now Tuyuhun is not very peaceful. If I go from the northwest, sand thieves and horse thieves are rampant all the way, and if I bring more goods, the risk will be even greater. Do you know how dangerous it is for me to come this way? If it wasn't for Iron Lady's protection, I would have lost a few lives."
"My journey from Shanshan to Xiangxian is much longer than your journey to Songdi."
Di Yefei wanted to find out how many troops Yuan Fang could use.
Before coming here, Tuoba Huang and Prefect Fei Yu had inquired about it. There were about 3,000 men who could fight in the Yuanjia Wubi, but no more than 800 well-trained armored soldiers. Raising soldiers is extremely expensive, otherwise Yuan Fang would not have risked losing his head to trade with Liu Song in private.
"This..." Yuan Fang thought for a while. "My Yuan family's armored family will be used for the defense of Wubi, and Songdi's side is not without danger. The caravan that will be transferred to protect Madam goes all the way west..."
When he saw Di Yefei frowning, he immediately explained, "However, this matter is easy to solve, it just costs more money."
He ordered a steward: "Go and invite the leader of Gai Wu, and say I have a business to do."
He Mulan showed a strange expression when she heard Yuan Fang talking about Gai Wu.
It's a big game now. If you want to find Gai Wu to come and do business, won't you ask them to protect the trade route
"Gai Wu?"
Yuan Fang didn't know that Chen Jun already knew that the masked prisoners were Gai Wu's group. Otherwise, they would not have called these Lushui Hu people to the "friends of Mrs. Fei Yu's prefect".
'This Yuan Fang is also a bold person. '
Di Yefei chuckled and praised in his heart.
"He was the one who subdued the Tigers at the market with Iron Lady yesterday. He is the leader of Lu Shuihu's 'Tiantai Army' in Xingcheng City, and he has thousands of servants. As long as he has money, of course he will take care of him." Yuan Fang seemed very happy to have Gai Wu come in handy, and even raised his voice a little.
"They have a large number of Lushuihu cavalry and are skilled in martial arts. They are the most suitable for protecting the lady's caravan. If the lady can accept it, the price of hiring these Lushuihu people can be negotiated. I am seven ladies and three, what do you think about the required employment fee? How's it going?"
"Yes." Di Yefei nodded simply.
Gai Wu didn't know whether he was an enemy or a friend, so he agreed first.
"Madam, just do it!"
"Don't praise me first. How do I know how much you sold my goods to the south? Listening to the meaning of the Yuan family, it seems that you don't want me to know the carefulness of this trade route, that is, cooperation, which is too much. ."
Di Yefei smiled.
"At the end of the day, we still lack trust."
Hearing Di Yefei's words, Mr. Song Er suddenly stepped forward and said a few words in Yuan Fang's ear.
Yuan Fang raised his brows after hearing the words, and even his small eyes were glowing.
"Ma'am, it's actually very easy to solve this problem. You are quite powerful in the Western Regions, but I have a family business in the Southern Regions. You are a woman, and it is not appropriate for you to make public appearances often, unless both parties have a trustworthy relationship. It can be done…”
"You're right. But so-called trustworthy relationships..."
Di Yefei was puzzled.
"Have you ever thought about marriage? My wife is vacant, and I have no children..."
He Mulan couldn't help but want to laugh wildly. She had to pinched her thighs to make sure she didn't laugh out loud.
The guards and egrets who were guarding around also had the same weird expressions, and their faces were suddenly twisted so that the Yuan family could not pay attention.
No wonder Mrs. Di Ji once said that her subordinates were all loyal to her deceased husband, and she had to be concerned about the opinions of her subordinates. Now that she only proposed marriage, these subordinates already looked so weird.
"I'm not remarried..."
"No, no, I don't mean to offend Madam. If you take the opportunity to ask for your wife, it's not to cooperate, but to make fun of yourself."
Yuan Fang smiled even more naive.
"I want to marry Madam's confidant - Iron Lady. In this way, both parties have someone they can trust, and Iron Lady is loyal to you again..."
He Mulan was completely dumbfounded.
what what
Marry who
Why didn't she understand
Yuan Fangyuan thought that this suggestion should be satisfied by both parties. If he was wrong at all, Tie Niang would kill him immediately, and his sincerity was enough.
He didn't expect that Mrs. Di Ji jumped up suddenly, and Liu Mei shouted upside down:
"no!"
"no!"
Gai Wu also entered the room with a pale face.
The author has something to say: today is fat enough.
Small drama:
Mr. Song Er: (whispering) Marriage is possible. If the candidate is not suitable, others may be considered.
If you are so lustful, then Mrs. Di Ji will not marry, but your nephew is a talented person, although he is a little younger than Mrs. Di Ji, maybe he can. Such grievances can also be written off.
"I Have a Scroll of Ghosts and Gods"
Yuan Fang (ecstasy): Yes! You can also change people!
