When Jiang Heng and Geng Shu observed the people around them, everyone was also looking at them, and they were obviously very interested in these two people.
Geng Shu was a little uncomfortable to be seen, and wanted to find something to say, what is the difference between him and them, and is it worth being looked at like this? But soon, he found the problem.
The rest of the people in the restaurant hugged each other, chatting and having fun, only Geng Shu and Jiang Heng were separated, and Jiang Heng didn't let Geng Shu drink more.
"Just two taels," Geng Shu said, "it's as light as water."
"Drink, drink." Jiang Heng was wondering how to strike up a conversation with them and ask for some news.
"Don't you want to order snacks?" Zhang Jiu was looking at them, "Just drinking?"
Jiang Heng whispered something in Geng Shu's ear, and Geng Shu said, "Let's make a roasted autumn sturgeon, and then have some crispy fried lake shrimp to make it crisper."
Zhang Jiu: "No... Only cut and braised beef."
Geng Shu said impatiently, "I said you didn't, what's the long-winded?"
Jiang Heng laughed and whispered to Geng Shu. Geng Shu said helplessly, "Beef is just beef."
Finally, a Di Ren couldn't help laughing at the two of them and said, "Why does the businessman have to discuss everything? Can't you speak for yourself?"
The crowd began to laugh again, as if Geng Shu and Jiang Heng brought a lot of interesting talk to them.
Geng Shu said: "Yes, I won't speak by myself without my wife." Then he looked around and understood why. Most of the guests hugged the lady-in-waiting waitress, but Jiang Heng and himself were the only ones sitting stupidly. on.
"You come and sit on me." Geng Shu whispered.
Jiang Heng understood, so he imitated the others, moved Geng Shu's legs away, and sat in front of him. Geng Shu took the pot, poured himself a drink, and put his arms around Jiang Heng.
"Give me a drink." Jiang Heng leaned in front of Geng Shu and whispered.
Geng Shu took half a cup, looked down at Jiang Heng, then looked around, then lowered his head a little, followed the example of others, kissed Jiang Heng's lips, and gave him a sip of wine.
"You dance so fast." Jiang Heng whispered in his ear, hugging Geng Shu's neck.
Geng Shu turned his head, and his lips were less than an inch apart, and replied, "This drink has a lot of stamina, don't drink too much."
Jiang Heng didn't know why, but his breath became more rapid, and he felt even more that Geng Shu's scorching body under the thin martial arts clothes and the slight changes in his martial arts trousers.
Jiang Heng's face was drunk. Geng Shu was two years old this year. It was when his desires were nowhere to be released. His blood was hot.
Jiang Heng himself is the same. He is eight years old. He often feels that he and Geng Shu are like one person. Even in the moments of spring, they can't help but have the same feelings.
Geng Shu choked for breath, and put one hand on Jiang Heng's waist, but did not rub him, for fear that he would not be able to control it.
"Don't play." Geng Shu whispered, still keeping his last sense, put down the wine glass, and pulled Jiang Heng's hand away.
"They are all playing." Jiang Heng couldn't help teasing him.
Geng Shu patted Jiang Heng lightly, pulled his hand under his waist, put it in front of his chest, pulled his inner placket, and let him cover his bare chest, then held the back of his hand, slightly tighter. He tightened, as if speaking to him silently.
The beef was served with the wine, sliced thinly like snow paper, and drizzled with scallion oil, it was delicious to look at. After putting down the dishes, the young man from Di Ren next door called him away again and asked a few words in a low voice.
From the corner of Jiang Heng's eyes, he saw a young man from Di Ren looking at them.
Jiang Heng leaned into his ear and said a few words with a low laugh. Geng Shu pondered for a moment, followed Jiang Heng's instructions, looked around casually, and then said to the young man beside him, "Diren?"
"Diren," said the young man with a smile, "inferior. Where are you from?"
"Vietnamese people." Geng Shu replied.
"What business are you doing here?" the young man asked again.
Jiang Heng dressed up for Geng Shu as a businessman, with a Tibetan gold waist pouch tied around his waist, and a small string of counting beads on his wrist, which could be identified at a glance.
Jiang Heng saw that the young man was holding a small waiter in his arms, so he did not hide his voice and said with a smile: "Dai Guo's brocade, Liang's jade, Zheng's iron, Ying's lacquer, everything is available, what do you want to buy? ?"
The young man laughed: "Only there is no overland wine, but it's really hard to bear."
Geng Shu has never been good at talking and laughing.
The young man said: "My surname is Shui, Shui Jun."
"Nie Hai." Geng Shu introduced himself.
"Fate." The young man suggested, "How about come and sit down?"
"Come and sit." Geng Shu said.
Shui Jun didn't mind, and after giving an order, Zhang Jiu put the two cases together, and the people around looked at them, not surprised. After a while, Zhang Jiu moved the screen over again.
Jiang Heng looked out curiously, and Shui Jun said, "They are all my friends, waiting for someone."
Geng Shu nodded, Jiang Heng leaned in front of Geng Shu, looked at Shui Jun with a smile, but Shui Jun didn't look at him, kept his due manners, only looked at Geng Shu's eyes, and said, "It's really rare, it's almost a year. No merchants are coming."
Jiang Heng asked, "Don't you have a businessman?"
Shui Jun said: "They are all businessmen, but there are no real businessmen. Brother Nie came here this time, has he done business?"
Geng Shu thought for a while, but didn't answer directly, saying, "It's okay, just start the war soon, and the trade route is inconvenient."
This sentence is Geng Shu's free play, but Jiang Heng didn't teach him. He just kept quiet and waited for Shui Jun to speak. If he guessed correctly...
Shui Jun really said: "It seems that Brother Nie can't buy anything in Haocheng."
Geng Shu replied, "The eyes are very sharp."
When Geng Shu unpacked his pockets to pay the bill, the whole bag of gold was in Shui Jun's eyes.
"What do you have to sell?" Geng Shu looked at Shui Jun's expression, the other party stared at Jiang Heng lustfully, and didn't even pay attention to Jiang Heng during the whole process. This move won his favor.
Shui Jun said, "I have a mine and a fur that I haven't sold yet. Would you like to come and have a look?"
"What mine?" Geng Shu asked.
"The gold mines," said Shui Jun, "are all the ore veins found in the Khansaijialing Mountains three years ago."
Jiang Heng remembered that when he visited Yong Kingdom, someone did mention that there are gold mines in the Khansai area and the snow-capped mountains further north.
"How's the quality?" Geng Shu said, "It has to be refined."
Shui Jun touched his body and spread his hands again, indicating that the ore could not be carried with him, and said, "The condition is very good, an appointment?"
Jiang Heng asked, "Now that Hansai is no longer your place, can you still transport the gold mine out?"
"Think of a way," Shui Jun replied, "the way is always thought of by people."
Geng Shu said, "I can't risk my life to accompany you to get the gold mine."
Shui Jun replied, "This matter naturally falls on me."
Geng Shu snapped his fingers and asked, "As long as the condition is really good, I will not give you less, what do you want?"
Shui Jun said, "Gold."
Jiang Heng laughed, and the exchange of gold ore for gold was straightforward. Shui Jun looked at Geng Shu and said, "Brother Nie is quite happy in doing business."
"What do you want so much money for?" Geng Shu didn't care about his boasting, but asked instead.

"It's useful." Shui Jun sighed and said, "To tell the truth, my brother is about to be executed. We have to prepare a sum of money to save his life... Does brother Nie know about Shan Ze?"
"Shan Ze..." Geng Shu remembered, it was a person's name, which he had heard in the East Palace three years ago.
The Di people received the surname from the royal family, and the two original tribes were given the names of "mountain" and "water". After integrating into the Yong people, the tribal leaders naturally lost most of their rights and only kept part of the land and property. Duke Yong of the State of Yong devoured them all. Shan Ze was the one who assembled the Di people three years ago to overthrow the Wei clan.
Geng Shu: "Anti-thief."
"You rebels of Yong Kingdom." Jiang Heng added with a smile.
Shui Jun replied, "You know our Yong Kingdom quite well."
Geng Shu replied: "When doing business, you must always inquire clearly."
Shui Jun sighed and said, "I grew up with Shan Ze, and we are brothers and sisters. I don't know if Brother Nie understands the customs of our Di people..."
Geng Shu: "?"
"Anyway," Shui Jun said without explaining much, "We have a friendship that no one can live without."
"I understand." Geng Shu said.
Jiang Heng was a little curious. He had heard Jie Gui said before that Di Ren was really masculine, but he didn't know to what extent. Presumably there are many stories in the mountains and rivers. Jiang Heng thought about it and understood Shui Jun's plan. He would take the risk of exchanging gold mines for money, and then use it to bribe Wei Shi and rescue Shan Ze.
"You trust us too much." Geng Shu said.
Shui Jun smiled and said: "I still have some eyesight, you are familiar with Yuejiu and Daijiu, and you carry a lot of money, have martial arts skills, enough to protect yourself, so you won't be a spy sent by Luoyan City. Let’s talk casually, even if I am arrested, how much evidence is there? It’s a big deal to break my car with me.”
Geng Shu thought the same thing, even if Shui Jun really took out the gold ore for trading, it was he who got it. Since Yong Guo didn't know that there was gold in Hansaijialing, it would be impossible to convict him. Of course, Shui Jun Xu Life and death have been set aside.
"Who is the Hansai area now?" Geng Shu said, "I don't want to be stopped."
Shui Jun said, "I will send someone to escort you before leaving the Yong Kingdom's borders. The Di people have lived on this land for a thousand years. Just trust us."
Geng Shu said: "Route."
Shui Jun thought about it for a while, and simply said it: "In the Tongguan area of the Qinling Mountains, there is still a way to go, but it will take more time."
"The previous question." Geng Shu said.
It was the first time that Shui Junshang met such a chasing businessman. Geng Shu was accustomed to not talking nonsense in the army. He only kept talking nonsense to Jiang Heng. As for the answer, no one has ever violated it.
Shui Jun could only say: "Three years ago, Wei Ben first occupied the land of our Di people. The 40,000 hectares of fertile land in the Khansai area were all taken into his pocket under the name of "Zhang Tian Fa", and Shan Ze led his clan to attack. The City Lord's Mansion, ask him for an explanation. Now this land is owned by the Yong Kingdom, but in fact it has concealed nearly ten thousand hectares, and this is not even the land of Jialing Mountains, and the output of the mountains."
The medicinal materials, timber, mines, furs and other materials produced in the mountains are now owned by the Wei family. Wei Zhuo is a messenger in the court, while the eldest son Wei Ben is frantically accumulating money in Haocheng, filling his private pockets and oppressing the people of Di.
Does Juicong know? Xu knew about it, but I didn't expect it to be so serious. Haocheng is the largest granary in Saibei. As long as the food that Wei Ben pays every year is correct, the juice family has always turned a blind eye.
"I know." Geng Shu said lightly.
Jiang Heng couldn't help but ask again, "Where did the Wei family save so much money?"
"It's all gone," Shui Jun said lightly, "Send it to Daiguo, and then from Daiguo to Yingguo. The Zhou family has a close relationship with the Wei family. In the name of officials and businessmen, where do you think they can be sent?"
Jiang Heng recalled the travels he met in Daiguo, but he didn't know how many. He had run a family for over a hundred years, and even if Yongguo was in seclusion, this minister was inextricably linked with the four southern countries.
"The last question," Jiang Heng said, "Young Master will satisfy my curiosity. Where is Shan Ze being detained?"
Shui Jun replied: "The City Lord's Mansion is on death row, and it will be executed in the spring of next year."
At this time, the outside door of the restaurant was pushed open, and someone came in.
"I'm waiting for someone to come," Shui Jun said after hearing the voice, "You two make an appointment?"
"I'll find you," Geng Shu said, "just wait at home and be honest."
Shui Jun wanted to tell where his home was, but no one knew when he wanted to come to the Shui family's mansion, so he nodded, turned out of the screen, and let them still sit and drink.
Jiang Heng was thinking, and changed his posture in Geng Shu's arms. Geng Shu was not in a hurry, so he didn't discuss here, lest there would be ears on the other side of the wall, and people would listen.
Jiang Heng shook his head and suddenly heard a voice from outside.
"Let me have a good meal."
The voice was so familiar that Jiang Heng's expression changed as soon as he heard it!
Geng Shu: "?"
Jiang Heng immediately got up from Geng Shu's arms, leaned into the crack of the screen and looked out.
He saw Sun Ying.
