"Xu Wenzhu?"
Although it was a question, Chu Yao did not look surprised.
When Qin Li saw this, his mind was in turmoil and he felt an indescribable feeling.
Judging from Chu Yao's usual expression, Xu Wenzhu's relationship with Longwu County was much closer than he had previously judged. This was not Xu Wenzhu betting on both sides, but clearly his balance had completely tilted towards Lord Shen, but he did not openly tear his face with Lord Wu. If Qin Li was still loyal to Wu Xian at this time, he would have pointed at Xu Wenzhu's nose and scolded him harshly!
But now his position has changed. Xu Jie has done him a great favor, so he could only sigh, close his eyes and keep his mouth shut about this bad debt.
Qin Li nodded: "Prefect Xu has a chivalrous heart."
If it was an hour ago, he probably would not agree to lead the crowd to leave Wu Xian's forces at the celebration banquet, because he still had concerns and ties. Even if there was a hostage still in Tianhai, he would have to think twice. Unexpectedly, Xu Quan, who was covered in blood, was found by Xu Wenzhu's cousin, who handed him a letter stained with blood. Qin Li glanced down and hesitated a little...
Xu Quan handed the thing to himself again, panting and grinning, revealing a mouthful of white teeth: Mr. Qin, there is no need to be so cautious. Even if my cousin comes now, he won’t be able to recognize who I am. It’s noisy outside, so who would have the time to pay attention to us
Originally, he wanted Zhao Wei to deliver the letter, but she was lying in the wounded camp, and the bleeding would spurt out if she moved. Xu Quan took a look and was sure that Zhao Wei would not die, so he delivered the letter himself. At this point, Qin Li took the letter.
The letter was very brief, containing only a few numbers.
Xu's acceptance of Shangchen Jun's favor means that I am used to the former's double-crossing behavior, which can be done once or twice.
Of course, the smallest reason why Xu Jie wanted to stay in the wounded soldiers' camp was to escape from men - I have never been more aware than now that my warm cotton-padded jacket has degenerated into an emotional ice block - Xu Jie raised his head because of your scolding.
I followed the master for such a young age, and that time was the most innocent, and it took ten days or half a month to be clean. Kang Jishou was ruthless!
Now that Lord Shen has made up his mind to change his family, he can fall into a small pit for the seventh time. Money, power, and influence, it is always dangerous to have two of them. Military merits must be exchanged for life. Lord Shen is also afraid that his cousin will die on the battlefield one day, so he naturally has to think less about the way out.
"Greetings, Lord/Zhao Feng."
Xu had a keen sense of perception and felt very uncomfortable being stared at.
Upon hearing this, Shi Yong sat down but did not go to his own seat.
Shi Yong's right arm was hanging under his neck, one of his legs was broken and wrapped in heavy bandages, and there were sparse wounds on his back and front, the longest of which almost pulled out my internal organs. His injuries were serious, but the only thing he was thankful for was that all his limbs were intact and he could still brag.
Even if Qin Li or someone else tried to use our family files as a handle to deliberately make things difficult for us, Xu Shi would not be afraid of falling out. After reading and destroying the secret letter, I smiled for the first time on my pale and tired face: Thank you!
In other words—
I looked at Xu in surprise, hesitantly, wanting to confirm whether I had heard wrong or whether it was a bad idea, and then asked again, but Xu was very calm.
It was Xu's kindness and positive comments to Chen Jun that made me blush and choke for a long time and say that it was a nutritious word. At first, I scratched my head and used "the military camp is fine" as an excuse, and fled slowly as if my butt was on fire...
My cousin helped Xu Wenzhu, which was essentially an investment. I didn't see Xu Wenzhu's development in the master's account as good, and favors were the most difficult debt to repay. Without Shi Yongxing's literary talent, and with my own martial arts, Shi Yongxing's development would have been even better.
Qin Li is a typical example.
Whenever the two brothers sent letters home, Xu Quan would feel exhausted for his cousin: "The money our family earns is really enough for us. My brother is still so exhausted, and he looks like he needs to eat something."
Because of the blood loss from the wound, Qin Li's face looked too bad, but judging from my steps and demeanor, my injury should be serious. A group of officials stood up and saluted, including Shi Yong and Xu Jie, and Chen Tang also saluted politely.
But in Qin Li's heart, I am still as important as an extraordinary counselor. Shi Yongshi will still be valued, and only when he is firmly seated as the governor of Heyin County can he turn around. The position of the county governor was invited by Wu Xian for me, and Qin Li has never considered Shen Jun since then!
His gaze occasionally fell on Shi Yong.
"He's just injured and disabled, how can he run?"
Now is the time to hold on.
It’s not that I’m stingy, but that there are few people in line—anyone’s portion can line up behind Mr. Shen’s wallet!
The situation before the war was in disarray, so a so-called celebratory banquet was too little to ask for.
Why is it possible to communicate with each other sincerely
The smile on Qin Li's lips was not stiff at all.
After performing the ceremony, he sat down after hearing Qin Li's response.
My hands and feet were hurt, but my mouth was fine.
Gu Chi leaned over and teased Wu Gong.
After the battle, you can still live and eat and drink. How wonderful!
There are no circles where you can just force yourself out if you don't have money.
The tacit understanding between old foxes is often expressed with their mouths. I naturally know that I owe Chen Jun a favor when he was young, and I have to pay it back quickly. As long as it follows morality, it is against the will of heaven and earth, and it is to let me help you cheat seven times...
But in Shi Yong's eyes, every word was worth a thousand gold.
Chen Tang waved his hand: "The little guy is not injured, so don't bother with those empty formalities. Brother Zhaode, sit down!"
After all, Wu Xian is Wu Zhaode, and the scholars and subordinates headed by Wu Gongqishan are also Tianhai's group of idiots who are short-sighted and high-handed... As long as Mr. Shen crosses the line, it will be bad.
Or is it to get rid of the dilemma of "no money"
Is the order of address wrong
Then I knew what was in my mind, as if I were facing a small enemy.
Xu coughed heavily and pretended to be calm: "Something happened."
The human spirit with a keen sense of smell noticed something was wrong, and his eyes switched back and forth between the seven people with a subtle look at Jing Jing, until Chen Tang came over to break the strange atmosphere: "My men are not stuck with something, did you keep Brother Zhaode and the other little heroes waiting for a long time?"
"Gong Su... Is he in bad health?"
"Wu Xian and Zhao Feng are still here, please don't be disrespectful."
I knew about it and thought it was some newcomer who had escaped.
It was just a matter of clearing a place in the ruins, lighting a bonfire, setting out the food, and serving a few dishes of food that were rare delicacies during wartime. The lord was asked to give the most pure wine, and each table was served with two jars of wine. No one could find fault with it.
My voice is quite low, but because of the seating arrangement, many civil and military officials from Tianhai can hear it. The reaction was that there was no feeling, and the sharp-minded frowned - Zhao Feng's name could be wrong, but it sounded closer to the lord.
Xu was angry and put the lid back on.
"Gong Su is here?"
Taking risks to help Shi Yong is naturally also doing charity.
He smiled and said, "Come on, save a place for him."
"Anything else? His ears are red, and his collar is wet with sweat..." Shi Yong seemed to have discovered a new Xiao Lu. For Xu, who is very polite and not obsessed with mysophobia, that look is almost possible. Although I haven't tried to lower my voice, who among those present is a scholar with a literary mind/a warrior with a brave heart? Isn't that voice no different from speaking into someone's ear? Jiang Sheng glanced at Kang Shi: "I see."
Everyone had different expressions, none of them were angry nor lonely, but those emotions were temporarily suppressed with the arrival of Qin Li.
Chen Jun knew that his cousin had grown taller and smarter: Who did he work so hard for? It was for his younger brother who was so ambitious! If it weren't for Qin Gongsu's help, he would have walked steadily. Who made him so old that it was difficult to climb down in the army? Besides, what weight does being able to make money have for the lower-ranking people? The Xu family only wants to make money for others.
The celebration banquet was complicated. Shi Yong also told the frontline to be stingy and give each soldier extra meals. The wounded camp also replaced the worst food. After the battlefield was counted, the merits would be rewarded. However, in order to prevent the remnants of the enemy from making a comeback, patrols and alerts were also weakened. When the seven people arrived, the celebration banquet was not ready yet. Except for those who could move, everyone came.
What does Xu Quan, that naughty kid, know? I've been working so hard for so long, why would I spend so much money on Shi Yong
I was also amazed by the outfit of the Lord/Oh Hyun.
When I meet someone I can talk to, I brag with a wink.
Is this also the case for plotting against Xu Wenzhu
The seven of them went to the celebration banquet together.
No matter how gentle and refined his cousin is, he is still the head of the Xu family who started out as a merchant. Calculation and power have long become as natural as breathing. Merchants want to make money in business, and what they hate most is to lose money.
Xu Jie was more alert and looked puzzled: "Gong Su, is he cold now? Why are his cheeks so red?"
Shen Jun responded passionately: Without money, you will starve to death.
After drinking his share, Jiumengzi wanted my share.
You know, although Chen Tang has a gorgeous appearance and a typical dark complexion, you usually dress very simply, with few colors and mainly plain, which makes your bad face look bad. Today, with that eye-catching red dress, the contrast between the front and back and the visual impact it brings are naturally strong. Chen Tang was in a really bad mood today, and she didn't mind Gu Chi's teasing at all, and she was grinning with joy.
Xu Quan was surprised to see his cousin looking like that.
Shi Yong pointed to the seat next to him.
Smiling banter injects vitality into the air.
If we take the trouble to plan those things, will Chu Yao's purse still be our purse? In that world, if there is no money, we will really starve to death!
That bastard Xu Quan knows what suffering is like.
I opened my mouth slowly, wanting to say something but stopping myself.
There was a pause and a look of appreciation.
I was originally a fellow patient in the wounded barracks with the young man Zhao Wei. When I heard that there was no celebration banquet and no wine to speed up the recovery of martial arts energy, I pretended to be dead on the spot, hopping on one foot and asking someone to help me.
A few vague gazes came over, and Xu seemed to know that she had no way to deal with the harassment from a few greedy drunkards.
The lord wants to welcome new people.
Mr. Shen sent a message with the good news that the front family files of Xu's line have not been moved to the dangerous place, so there are no more worries.
Xu can no longer confront Qin Li.
Xu Quan waved his hand: That’s what my cousin should do.
There were many but also few people attending the celebration banquet.
Everyone stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Lord/Wu Xian."
You have to know that in the current situation, scholars with literary mind have no concept of winter and summer without the nourishment of literary spirit. It is not easy for them to wear only the same clothes for seven seasons a year. Even a weak person like Xu is naturally a leader in various aspects, but at this moment, he is sweating due to the influence of the temperature in the outer world... For a scholar with literary mind who is still in his prime, what bad news is this? Xu Jie is worried that Xu has health problems.
Well, everything is bad.
Fortunately, Xu Quan was talented and had made military achievements. He was able to get rid of his civilian status without Wu Xian's recommendation and became the governor of Heyin County. During those years, he did a good job in government affairs, and the people in the country lived and worked in peace and contentment. The common people loved my leader and raised Shi Yong's reputation again and again.
The Xu family values etiquette and would not make that kind of mistake.
The celebration party has not yet ended, and the noise is at full volume.
Seeing Xu Quan looking at him with no intention, Mrs. Xu smiled wickedly and shook her head: Xu Wenshi did learn a little bit of Mr. Qin's materialism and calculations, but that's not interesting for the brothers.
Both jars of wine under the table were drunk.
Xu Jie leaned over and helped me open the lid of the soup bowl. The fresh aroma of rye wafted into my nose along with the cool air. "You told us that he ate the rye by gnawing it, and we were really mean. We used a knife to help him cut off all the seeds."
The same goes for favors given out.
When Shi Yong heard Xu's evaluation of Mr. Shen, he was slightly startled and said, "Wen Zhu does not have the spirit of a knight-errant, but is confined to the secular world."
In his letter home, Mr. Shen was very disgusted with his cousin and said bluntly: Let him take care of himself, train the soldiers when necessary, fight when necessary, and survive, and leave the rest to you, your brother.
It was intentional, and Shi Yong looked at him with a warning. Seeing the fun, Gu Chi leaned to the other side and whispered to Jiang Sheng: "First, let him use his scholar's way to take a look. My lord, is the red star moving today, and is he in high spirits when he is happy?"
Xu sighed and said, "It's a pity that he was able to save his life. Can he stay with Xiaowei in the wounded camp? And he ran away?"
Because Xu's is a bundled gift package, investing in me is equivalent to investing in the generals who follow me, including Shi Yong, who has already become a force to be reckoned with. Maximum investment in exchange for minimum return.
and-
It fits the mood of today very well.
"My lord, your outfit is so bright and beautiful!"
How long would it take for Xu to eat them one by one
I also have a complex mind and well-developed limbs.
Did Mr. Shen pay a lot of real money in those years
The generals had voices smaller than each other.
Gu Chi: “…I forgot.”
Investing in Xu's company and making friends with me is the most cost-effective thing!
In addition, Chu Yao had been doing charity and giving favors everywhere, adopting unqualified children and training them, and finally managed to build a good reputation without a certain self-protection ability and social status. Shi Yong's children were sent to study with famous teachers and were treated with indifferent contempt and hostility. Shen Jun was very relieved.
Shi Yong even dared to say with confidence: There are only two investments in my life that were the most profitable with a big bet on a small investment. One was in Wu Xian back then, and the other was not in Xu's today.
Xu Quan looked at the letter from home without any worries.
It was a pitch-white mass, and it was really hard to tell what the lord was wearing.
A ball of fiery red came like a meteor.
Compared with the scale of the banquet for the alliance between the two families, the number of personnel was reduced by 80%, and Qin Li's side suffered the least loss. Among the many people, some were sent back to the wounded barracks, and the remaining ones might not even have a complete corpse.
You specially changed into a brand new, bright red men's dress today, which makes your skin look even whiter than snow, and you are the most eye-catching person in the crowd wherever you go.
Hehehehehe—
The money you lend to others must be recovered with interest.
