As the governor of Hedong, Li Keyong held the military and political power of Hedong, and the official position of Taiyuan Prefecture was also on his behalf. In addition to Li Keyong, the two young men had the highest status and the greatest power in the entire Taiyuan Prefecture Office.

Zhong Meili is one of these two young Yins. He is in his fifties and is from a prominent clan in Taiyuan. His cultivation level has stopped after reaching the fourth level of Qi training. He has no hope of being promoted to the fifth level of Qi training in this life.

However, this did not hinder his prestige. On the contrary, as a core figure representing the local aristocratic family in Taiyuan and holding power in the official office, Zhong Meili has a solid "mass base".

All of this is attributed to his transcendent wisdom in human nature.

Because of this, the Zhong Mansion has always been a place full of people. There are countless wealthy and wealthy businessmen who come and go on weekdays. People with low status and wealth are not qualified to enter the mansion, let alone Zhong Meili, who is "a day-to-day business", get in touch with him and ask him to do business.

On that day, the weather was sunny and breeze. Zhong Meili's favorite concubine, Wei, was leaning against a beautiful woman in the courtyard to admire the blooming peonies in the courtyard.

Wei was born as beautiful as a flower, but at the age of 24 or 25, he was so mature that he was so charming that he leaned against the wooden railing. His figure was curved at a glance. His clothes and makeup were extremely expensive. Every object was not a common object, and his whole person was like a moving treasure house.

A maid dressed in silk and satin, holding a treasure box in her hand, walked quickly to Wei with a happy face and handed the box on both hands: "Master, this is the best item I received today."

Wei slowly stretched out his white hand, stuck to his orchid fingers and took the treasure box. When he opened it, he was immediately overjoyed. There was a jade bracelet in the treasure box, with exquisite floral decorations, and it was obvious that it was written by a master.

Of course this is nothing. The key is that this is a magic weapon with extremely high grades, so high that it is not available in normal times as a Wei family.

"Which lovely person sent this?" Wei picked up the bracelet, touched it with love, and tried it on it.

The maid said, "The man claimed to be his distant relative of the master. This time he came to visit his master specifically."

Soon, a young man came to Wei.

This person is so handsome that he can be described as Fengshen's handsomeness, and is the kind that is very fond of women.

Wei smiled slightly: "Why don't I remember having you, a relative?"

The young man was polite, had a mellow and kind smile, which made people feel particularly friendly: "The lady has forgotten many things, and it is also worth remembering it. But I still remember it freshly." As he said that, he took out a treasure box and presented it with both hands: "This is the token of the lady. I believe that after seeing it, my wife will definitely remember this cousin."

Of course, the box is not a token, but a magic weapon that is more precious than a bracelet. It is a jade hairpin, which has both decorative and magical effects. Its value is rare even Zhong Meili.

Wei was quite "flattered". After laughing at her subordinates, she "remembered" her distant cousin.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?" Wei asked happily after accepting the gift.

She has experienced such things a lot, and many people cannot directly contact Zhong Meili, so they will get closer. Bribery and make friends with wives and concubines is the most common choice, and Wei, as Zhong Meili's favorite side room, naturally many people come to curry favor with gifts.

"As long as the wife introduces her to Zhong Shaoyin," the young man bowed and said, smiling even more mellow.

"Who are you and where are you from?" After pondering for a while, Wei did not agree directly.

Those who can easily take out such a precious magic weapon as a meeting gift are definitely not small, at least their financial resources are still above Zhong Meili. What is the problem that Zhong Li needs to do?

The young man did not go around the corner: "Chang'an."

The next day, the young man visited Zhong's mansion again. This time he enjoyed a completely different treatment from yesterday. He was directly led by Wei's maid and arrived at the Wei's courtyard, and the other party even arranged tea and pastries to serve him.

On the third day, when the young man arrived at Zhong's mansion again, he met Zhong Meili as he wished.

The two sat at the same time. The young man did not take out the magic weapon this time, but directly presented the gift list.

Because the gift list was heavy enough, but not so heavy that it scared Zhong Meili, the two had a great conversation.

The young man claimed to be a merchant in Chang'an, and there were multiple caravans traveling to Sanjin and Guanzhong. This time he asked Zhong Meili to meet because a caravan was detained by the Taiyuan army, so he came to ask the other party to help him fish it out.

During the war, this kind of thing was very common. After Zhong Meili asked about the name, scale and type of caravan, he agreed on the spot. Although Zhong Meili did not hold military power, relying on his connections in Taiyuan, as long as the caravan was nothing special, this kind of thing would be easy.

Soon the caravan was released, and the goods were not bad. Soon, the young man came to the door with generous gifts to thank him, and Zhong Meili naturally welcomed him.

After a while, the two of them became familiar with each other.

The young men who traveled around the world always had rare treasures in their hands. Some of them were not valuable, but they were also interesting. They gave Zhong Meili some from time to time.

In addition, he is knowledgeable and talks very well, and he is elegant and very suitable for Zhongli's appetite. The relationship between the two gradually becomes closer.

The young man's shops and caravans in Taiyuan City were also taken care of by Taiyuan Prefecture and gained a lot of convenience.

On this day, the two of them had a banquet in Zhongfu.

Halfway through the wine, the young man sighed: "The world is changing, and the wars are endless, and our merchants are living more and more difficult. Now that King An has entered Hedong, he has conquered more than ten prefectures and counties in a row within a few days. The troops are heading towards Taiyuan City, which is unstoppable. He is afraid that the business in Hedong will not be able to continue, so he has to prepare early..."

Zhong Meili's eyes changed, "It conquered more than ten prefectures and counties in a row within a ten-day period", which naturally refers to the official army conquering Qinzhou, nearly ten counties in Fenzhou, and several counties in Yizhou.

According to the situation of the official army, they will soon attack Taiyuan City, which is also a concern for many people. In order to avoid war, the people in the mortal world will migrate, and merchants must prepare early. Because the army conquered the city and robbed the city, the first thing that suffered was the merchants with wealth.

Of course, Zhong Meili didn't want the other party to withdraw the shops and caravans in Taiyuan City. The two have made friends for a while, but Zhong Meili has already gained a lot of benefits from each other. As long as they get along, they will have a steady stream of wealth in the future. If the other party leaves now, these will be gone.

Zhong Meili hurriedly advised: "I have strong soldiers and strong horses in Hedong, and General Li Cunxiao has been promoted to a military general. No one under Li Ye's command can defeat him. This battle will definitely not be lost. The opponent's troops will not be able to fight to Taiyuan City. Brother Zhou doesn't have to worry!"

The young man was named Zhou Chuanwen. He shook his head and sighed: "I can't agree with Shao Yin's words. I have never heard of who Li Cunxiao before, but who is King An? Does Shao Yin still know? Whether it is King Lao An or King Xin'an, they have fought all over the world, and have they ever been defeated?"

Zhong Meili was stunned and couldn't speak for a moment because this was the fact.

Zhou Chuanwen's voice was heavy: "I'm walking down, traveling around the world, making friends with heroes, and I have friends everywhere. Pinglu's old friend wrote to him that King An has prepared a backup plan and will give Hedong a fatal blow at any time."

"And there was even more news from Chang'an. Your Majesty is about to send ministers to Hedong to help the war. Although they have no combat power, they hold the emperor's orders and are qualified to judge right and wrong, good and evil. When the crimes of the Hedong Jiedushi will be read out in front of the formation, it will be a great blow to morale and people's hearts!"

Zhong Meili opened his mouth, and the two news was quite important: "Be serious about this?"

Zhou Chuanwen said: "It's true! So I plan to collect wealth and be prepared to leave. It's always right to be prepared to retreat."

Zhong Meili was silent for a long time and said bitterly: "What a cunning rabbit. Brother Zhou is a wonderful person. There is still a way out. We are gone from Hedong!"

Zhou Chuanwen's eyes flashed: "There is no in Hedong, but Shao Yin has it!"

Zhong Meili frowned: "What does Brother Zhou mean?"

Zhou Chuanwen said: "In fact, Hedong has always had a second choice. The one who has no choice is Hedong Jiedushi!"

This meaning is particularly clear.

Zhong Meili's eyes were deep: "The prince of Longxi is a man with a brilliant talent and a bright future..."

Zhou Chuanwen smiled: "In terms of amazing talents and bright future, can the prince of Longxi compare with King An?"

Zhong Meili fell silent again. No matter how optimistic he was to Li Keyong, he could not speak lies with his eyes open.

Zhou Chuanwen continued: "Besides, King An represents the imperial court, and he has the right to be a great official."

Zhong Meili didn't say anything for a moment, and Zhou Chuanwen stopped talking, and the two fell silent.

Suddenly, Zhong Meili looked at Zhou Chuanwen with a sharp look as if he was a sword, trying to see the other party through: "Who are you?"

Zhou Chuanwen's smile was still mellow: "Businessman."

"It's not very much like an ordinary businessman!" Zhong Meili said in a cold voice.

Zhou Chuanwen's smile brighter: "A businessman with three holes in the cunning rabbit will naturally have old friends in the court. For the people in the world, the biggest retreat in the world is the court. How can he ignore it?"

Zhong Meili's eyes were gloomy: "You are indeed from the court! No, you are from King An! He said, if you are close to this official, what are you going to plan?"

Judging from his posture, if there is a disagreement, Zhou Chuanwen will not be able to get out of this room.

Zhou Chuanwen restrained his smile, was upright and said solemnly: "I am from the court, isn't Shaoyin? This world is the world of the Tang Dynasty, and his subjects are subjects of the Tang Dynasty. Is it not your duty to be loyal to the court?"

When he smiles, he feels like a spring breeze and feels very friendly, but when he is righteous, he is like a trance and a mountain stands out, and freedom is a sense of righteousness that makes people admire and admire.

Without rushing, he sipped his wine. Zhou Chuanwen looked at Zhong Meili, whose eyes were constantly changing: "As for why I am here, of course, it is to save Shao Yin! If I am not here, Shao Yin's life will not be able to save his wealth and life: it is because of my experience that Shao Yin can achieve great success in the future and shine on his family!"

This sentence is so arrogant.

Zhong Meili's face changed and he said angrily: "What a big tone! I want to see, what qualifications do you have to say to save me?!" After saying that, he suddenly reached out to grab Zhou Chuanwen!

A nine-foot hand condensed with spiritual energy, carrying wind and electricity, arrived in front of the other side in a flash. Its power is so strong that people have no doubts, and the other side will be crushed in the next moment!

At this moment, Zhong Meili's cultivation level was undoubtedly exposed. It was not the fourth level of Qi Refining that ordinary people knew, but the peak of Qi Refining that had reached the high threshold of Qi Refining!

It turns out that he has always hidden his strength.

Zhou Chuanwen sat motionless, as if he had not noticed the danger at all, only the corner of his mouth moved slightly, as if he was disdainful. He waved his sleeves, as if he was getting rid of dust from the Buddha.

The nine-foot-sized hand, with a light bang, disappeared in an instant.

Zhong Meili, who was about to rise suddenly felt a mountain pressing down on his body, falling back to the seat, and could no longer move.

This shocked him. The other party's cultivation was so high that he could not compete with it. However, a cultivator with a high level of Qi training was already qualified to be a Jiedushi, so how could he be a merchant?

Zhong Meili said it difficult: "You...you..."

Zhou Chuanwen's smile returned to gentleness, but his eyes had become a little playful: "Now Shao Yin thinks, are you qualified to save you?"

Zhong Meili's forehead was filled with cold sweat.

Of course, he didn't just want to be angry with the other party, and wanted to teach the other party a lesson. More importantly, he wanted to test the other party's depth and see if this guy with an extraordinary origin was qualified to speak big things.

It turns out that the other party has it.

Since there is, the situation will be reversed.

The other party represents the court, and it is likely that it represents King An!

The battle was in a stalemate, the situation was not good for Hedong, and it was difficult to say how the outcome was. But at least, King An now captured more than ten prefectures and counties in Hedong.

If Zhong Meili wants to leave a way out for himself, a way out for the Zhong family, and learn the ability to learn the cunning rabbit’s three holes, then you have to think hard about what you should do at this moment.

Zhou Chuanwen put away his pressure, and Zhong Meili felt that the pressure on his body disappeared, but the pressure in his heart became heavier.

After a while, Zhong Meili stood up and left his seat, saluting Zhou Chuanwen seriously and seriously: "What is Brother Zhou's order? Just say that if the subordinate can do it, he will never refuse!"

To buy yourself a way out, of course you have to pay the price first and submit a letter of vote.
Chapter completed!
