Chapter 287 Bandits(1/2)
Hu Dong looked at the powerful eunuch in front of him, and no one dared to underestimate him. Although he was incomplete, he had a mind and wrist that ordinary people could not imagine.
The Tang Dynasty was very afraid of eunuchs taking power because the Tang Dynasty suffered this loss. The deeds of the predecessors were so glorious that it was more difficult for them, such as those who were later to make it harder to make it harder to make it happen.
Even so, Yu Jingde still reached such a high position, which shows his power and tricks.
Hu Dong did not show an impatient expression because of his refusal. Chen Shou chose him for careful consideration.
This is a serious gentleman who knows nothing about power and tricks, and he doesn't even understand the meaning of his trip.
This is a sentiment microphone without emotion, revealing no flaws, because he knows nothing about the intrigues and deceptions.
Hu Dong laughed, and even had the leisure to appreciate the calligraphy and paintings of famous people in the living room. After hearing this, he said, "Official Yu, don't draw conclusions too early. Some things...ah! Isn't this the original work of Wang Youjun? Tsk tsk... The pen is like a dragon and a snake, and the pen is like a dragon and a snake."
Yu Jingde's face changed, his eyes became cold, and he looked at Hu Dong, as if he wanted to expose the disguise of this person's calmness on the surface but his panic on the inside.
But he failed. Judging from his decades of experience in observing words and expressions, he was really relaxed.
Yu Jingde cursed in his heart: Chen Shou, the traitor, sent a traitor to talk to him, and it was obvious that he was determined to be able to take care of himself.
But what he said makes sense, the navy... is the one who is in charge of his heart.
"Qiantang Chamber of Commerce, we know everything about you. After you go back, tell Chen Shou that if you want the supplies from Nan Tang, you can send an envoy to unveil the ban on both sides."
Hu Dong, who was enjoying calligraphy, suddenly became anxious when he heard this and said, "How can this be done? The so-called Grand Ordinance cannot be chaotic. Even though the world is divided, it will sooner or later belong to my Grand Qi."
Yu Jingde said in a deep voice: "Send out the guests!"
When Hu Dong heard this, he became anxious and said with a smile: "Why did the high-ranking official turn against me? I came here on order. If I just went back like this, wouldn't I be scolded by Zhongyong Hou?"
"Are you still afraid of being scolded?" Yu Jingde sneered: "What Chen Shou means, our family understands. When you go back, just tell him. Our family will send someone to discuss with him, not with you... instead of talking to you."
Hu Dong returned in a bad mood. It was not that he felt guilty about not fulfilling his mission, but that Yu Jingde's guest room had too many precious pens and ink paintings, and he couldn't even see him when he left.
When the Tang people traveled south, they all passed by wealthy families and powerful people, and what they left were all suffering.
Those original works worth a thousand gold are naturally in the hands of the powerful and unwilling to throw them away, so the Southern Tang Dynasty concentrated most of the original works of old friends.
After Hu Dong left reluctantly, Yu Jingde's stern face stretched out. Several maids helped him get up and took a look at the authentic works of Wang Youjun. He smiled and said, "No wonder he is so hateful. He is so cunning! Come on, let Shangguan Jun come to see our family."

The moonlight is like water, the spring is strong, and the fragrance of orchids is everywhere in Su Qiongzhi's boudoir.
Chen Shou covered himself with half of the brocade quilt and lay lazily on the bed. His chest was pressed by Su Qiongzhi's side face, and he was sleeping soundly.
Calculate the days, it was almost summer, and the Mongolians were slow to move and accumulated strength in Hedong, which made people scared.
In the past, when he marched with a marche, he could see obvious arrogance and underestimation of the enemy.
It is often the same as the grassland, whistling, gathering people to attack the city, and burning and killing it at will.
Now that he has learned his lessons, he knows that it will be a great improvement.
This main showdown became Hebule and himself, which made Chen Shou very angry.
Because there was another Wu Meng who took his Liaodong soldiers to take advantage of loopholes and plunder them.
Wherever he went, he dug almost three feet of the ground, and there was no need to mention the money and food, and even the population was not spared. Except for the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, young, strong, women and children were arrested and imprisoned outside the prison.
This guy also set up a camp to excavate the tombs of nobles in the north. The bones of countless princes and grandsons were abandoned on the roadside, and all the things buried with him were taken away.
Chen Shou was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but there was no way. This person was too good to get up if he was cheap and ran away if he was in danger. He would definitely not be able to catch up if he was chasing him, and he might not be able to beat him if he was chasing him.
In the Youyan area, nine out of ten houses were harmed by him. Those fortresses built by scattered powerful men could not hold on for a long time in front of the Liaodong soldiers outside the pass.
The more Chen Shou thought about it, he became more angry. He slapped Su Qiongzhi on the butt. Su Qiongzhi turned around and pointed her smooth round buttocks at Chen Shou, and hummed in dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? I just fell asleep."
"I'm thirsty, pour me a glass of water."
"If you don't go, Zhu'er is outside. You will know how to call people with just one word."
Chen Shou knocked on the bed. After a rustling sound of dressing, a little maid came in, holding a teacup in her hand and said, "It's too late to boil water now. This cup is still warm, so drink it soon."
Chen Shou saw that she had washed off her makeup and had her hair loose, and her face was very cute. He smiled and waved, "Xiao Zhui'er, come here and let me see if my body grows?"
Zhu'er's face turned red, she took off her outer cover and went out to bed with her shoes and put on a small shirt.
Chen Shou hugged her. The little girl was not big, but she was wearing a big red bellyband. However, her pure appearance, which made people feel vulgar in color, but she was a bit cute.
He reached out and kneaded a few times, and cried out like a kitten, and said coquettishly, "Master, it hurts."
Su Qiongzhi is in Liangzhou, and there are not a thousand maids, but she carefully selected Zhu'er and helped her to help her with her appearance. Naturally, she has no choice.
The little girl is not a rigid person either. She is very interesting, lively and cheerful, and she is very popular with Chen Shou.
The two of them hugged each other and kissed each other to make fun of it. Su Qiongzhi was completely sleepy and felt secretly sour in her heart, so she came up.
Chen Shou said angrily: "Are you not sleeping?"
Su Qiongzhi punched him on the shoulder and said with a shy smile: "You two are shameless, how can you sleep next to your ears?"
The three of them hugged each other, and soon they rolled around and the roar of spring came from the roar of the true spring.

Shangguan Jun from Jiangnan came again. This time he came faster. Obviously, the Huai Army was destroyed, making it easier for these people who had the means to cross the river.
This time he went to Bianliang, he clearly felt the increase in Chen Shou's strength, and the people along the way even had changes visible to the naked eye.
More people no longer hide aside when they see luxurious carriages, but their eyes are filled with agility of envy.
The land of Kaifeng Prefecture is full of farming people. They plant their own land, and the women and children who come to deliver food are laughter and joy.
Chen Shou took down the Huai Army, greatly increasing his strength, but the Navy cut off the trade between Southern Tang and Chen Shou, which made him about to fall into a food crisis.
This was what Yu Jingde told him before Shangguan Jun came, but now it seems that it is just his imagination.
Will Chen Shou be short of food?
Maybe, but there will never be any crisis because he has food.
This person is still buying grain from Nantang, so he can only say that his ambition is more than that.
The more supplies he needed, the more food and grass he owed Qiantang Chamber of Commerce, the less likely it was to defeat him.
Otherwise, who will pay back so many debts if the creditor dies?
Qiantang Chamber of Commerce is one of the interests of Yu Jingde. No matter how angry Yu Jingde is, he can only send someone to negotiate with Chen Shou.
They have a common enemy, the navy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the arrogant and domineering guys.
"Foreign ministers have met the Marquis of Zhongyong."
Shangguan Jun is an old friend. Chen Shou smiled and said, "Doctor Shangguan, I haven't seen you for a long time, so you don't have to be polite. Please sit down quickly."
Shangguan Jun sat upright on the chair, looking straight, looking serious.
His relationship with him is of great importance, which can be said to directly determine the direction of the world's general trend in the future. The cooperation between the Southern Tang court and the powerful ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty was a bit absurd when they were said, but it was imminent.
Fortunately, Chen Shou had other channels, but the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty was already overwhelmed by the navy.
Before the southwest barbarians arrived, Yuchi Xin's navy arrived first, and the warship was outside Hangzhou City. Several navy generals were accused of angrily criticizing the ministers in the court every day, and few people dared to complain.
Emperor Yuhui left more than once, and cried loudly in the palace, causing all the palace maids and eunuchs to cry.
"Zhongyong Hou, the foreign minister is here..."
Chen Shou reached out to interrupt and smiled and said, "You and I are old acquaintances. How can we talk about serious business as soon as we meet? First have a cup of tea and I will hold a banquet later. Please try the flavor of Bianliang. Let's go for a trip and finally talk about serious business."
Shangguan Jun said something, and he was just right at the mouth, and Chen Shou suddenly stuffed it back, almost suffocating to death.
"Marty, this matter is very serious. If you delay one day, you will be in danger."
A smile flashed in Chen Shou's eyes, but it quickly became concealed. He dragged his tone and asked, "Oh? What's the matter? Is it so important?"
These three questions made Shangguan Jun wonder whether he sent someone to find Yu Daguan first. Could it be that Yu Daguan himself fabricated it?
Nothing makes sense...
Chen Shou wanted this effect. As long as he was calm, they would soon reveal their bottom line, and they would know what they wanted when they talked about it.
"Of course it's our Nantang Navy..."

Zhang Zhengyuan violated the rules and led his troops to Daming Mansion. This was one of the reasons why Wu Meng had no reason to go south.
Chen Shou discovered this later, but still symbolically fined Zhang Zhengyuan for one year's salary.
As the backing of Hejian, Daming Prefecture immediately reduced most of the pressure from Li Xin and Yue Peng, and could rush westward to help Hedong.
In the hall, Zhang Zhengyuan looked at the map and asked, "Have the people sent to Taiyuan come back?"
"You have not reported to the general."
"Yeah..." Zhang Zhengyuan nodded. He calculated the day and it would be half a day before he could come back.
He defeated Taiyuan with one hand, but now Taiyuan is very different.
It is said that Yuan Xiannian, a sected by the Marquis, was a native of Hedong and was also a direct descendant of a family in Hedong.
But after he arrived in Taiyuan, he held up his butcher's knife and killed everyone.
