Zhao Tuo didn't care too much about this matter. He was used to being a pampered son of a wealthy family, and it was just a matter of passion. As long as he didn't use force, everything would be easy to solve.
But after this young man made a scene, the banquet was almost over.
In the end, Zhao Tuo and Gu Ze reached a consensus on the Qin army's takeover of Gubo Township and worked out specific matters.
First, the Qin army wanted to protect the interests of the Gu clan in Gubo Township.
They are still the nobles of the village here, and Guze is still the third elder of the village. Zhao Tuo's Qin army is only responsible for garrisoning and ensuring smooth traffic for the Qin army. They do not interfere in all civil affairs of Gubo Township, nor do they interfere with the Gu family's affairs.
Property theft.
Accordingly, the Gu clan must cooperate with all military actions of the Qin army.
For example, at this critical time, we must restrain the people in the township and maintain public security and stability in the township and surrounding areas. At the same time, we must act as an eyeliner for the Qin army. When we find someone instigating resistance, we must report it as soon as possible and suppress it.
At the same time, it also provided food and accommodation for Zhao Tuo's troops stationed in the countryside to ensure logistical supplies.
When an opinion is reached, everyone is happy.
In this war to destroy the country, the Gu family will retain their property privileges here. The only difference between them and the past is that they have changed from the three elders of Yan State to the three elders of Qin State. All they have to pay is a little food supply.
For these wealthy people in the countryside, it is simply not worth mentioning.
Zhao Tuo's Qin army will also avoid a lot of trouble, easily complete this mission and accumulate achievements.
It can be said that this transaction is a win-win for both parties.
"Why don't you, Mr. Zhao, live in my house and see each other day and night?" Gu Ze warmly invited.
The image of the beautiful woman appeared in Zhao Tuo's mind, and he trembled and quickly said, "No, no, my soldiers are rude, I have to restrain them, otherwise it will be bad if something goes wrong."
Zhao Tuo was afraid that the other party would take out something enthusiastically again, so he quickly led his men out of the Guze Mansion and followed another Gu family nobleman to decorate their residence.
Seeing that Zhao Tuo did not agree to stay in the house, Guze breathed a sigh of relief.
"Close the door. If there is any movement, report it immediately."
"only."
After giving orders to his servants, Guze strode towards the back house.
There, there is still a big problem waiting for him to solve.
…
The main task of Zhao Tuo's department this time is to control Gubo Township and surrounding traffic arteries, so the two gates of the township must be firmly controlled.
He asked the Gu family to move away all the residents near the two rural gates and vacate the houses for the Qin army to settle down.
Zhao Tuo led three soldiers to station at the north gate, while Xiqigu and Xiaobai led two soldiers to station at the south gate. In this way, it was very convenient to control the entrance to the township or to guard the traffic outside the city.
Moreover, the Qin army was stationed near the township gate and could monitor people entering and leaving the township. Zhao Tuo would also patrol the township every day to confirm that the environment was safe.
"That kid may cause trouble, so be careful."
After Shejian saw that Zhao Tuo had made arrangements, he spoke his mind.
"You mean Guze's son?"
Zhao Tuo frowned, and the image of Gu Xin emerged in his mind. He was a dandy boy who was dissatisfied with the Qin army.
According to Gu Ze, all the children born to his old wife when he was young died in infancy, but Gu Xin was the only one born to his new wife and has grown up healthily to this day.
He got a son at an old age, so he loved him very much. So Gu Xin developed a naughty character, and he impulsively caused what happened just now.
It sounds reasonable.
Zhao Tuo shook his head and said: "He's just a brat. Although he is biased against us, there is still Guze pressing down on him. There won't be any problems if we think about it."
Shejian glanced at Zhao Tuo strangely, "He is about the same age as you."
"ah?"
Zhao Tuo was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he had just called the other person "little boy".
Zhao Tuo's body is only fifteen years old, and his real age may be a little younger than that of Gu Xin, which is indeed a bit weird.
This is also because he has lived in two lifetimes and has not yet completely gotten used to his current "age".
"Since you said so, just pay more attention to him. If Gu Xin goes out of town, just tell me and I will ask Gu Ze."
Zhao Tuo still quite recognized Shejian's observation ability.
As the sun sets, night begins to fall.
Zhao Tuo ordered the Qin troops stationed at the two rural gates to close the gates and take turns to keep watch at night to prepare for emergencies.
After checking that everything was OK, he was discussing the next matters with Heiyi, Shejian and other chiefs.
Just then, Gu Xin came.
This teenage boy had a smile on his face and was followed by five or six servants, carrying wine and meat in their hands.
"Today during the day, because Xin was young and ignorant, he bumped into you. Meng Aweng taught me that I now realize that I was wrong, and I ask for your forgiveness from Mr. Zhao and all the heroes."
As soon as Gu Xin came, he bowed deeply to Zhao Tuo and She Jian, and his attitude was very sincere.
"I've prepared a special bottle of wine tonight, so please don't be polite."
As he clapped his hands, several servants at the back brought the wine and meat in and placed them on the table.
The wine was packed in large bronze bottles, which were very full.
The meat is served on a plate, specially grilled, and is still hot and releasing the aroma.
"Tuen Chief, Brother She, I think this guy's apology is quite sincere, so just accept it quickly, otherwise the meat and wine will be wasted."
Hei Butt was a little anxious and swallowed his saliva when he looked at the meat and wine. Next to him, You also kept licking his lips.
Zhao Tuo glanced at Shejian first, then turned to Gu Xin and said with a smile: "What happened during the day has passed. The elder already explained it at that time. We didn't take it to heart. You don't have to be like this."
Gu Xin smiled and said: "It's just a little thought, please accept it."
"In that case, it would be disrespectful to deny it."
Zhao Tuo accepted the apology, and Gu Xin exchanged a few words with each other before leaving with his servants.
"Tsk, it smells so good. Chief of the village, brother She, you guys eat first, you eat first."
When Hei Butt saw Gu Xin leaving, he immediately geared up and wanted to grab the wine and meat and feast on it immediately. However, these people still knew some respect and inferiority, so he let Zhao Tuo and She Jian enjoy it first.
But right away, he realized something was wrong.
Because after Gu Xin left, both Zhao Tuo and She Jian had dark faces.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Black Butt asked in a low voice.
Zhao Tuo sneered and said: "This apology is sincere. It was also spoken in elegant language so that all of you can understand it."
"Ah? Is there something wrong with this kid?"
The black buttocks were clasped together, and he still hadn't figured out what the problem was.
"Judging from his behavior during the day, this Gu Xin is very resentful towards us and treats us as enemies. But look at what he just said and said. There was no trace of hatred at all. Instead, he acted very sincerely."
Black Buttocks blinked: "Didn't he say he was taught by that old man?"
"There is an old saying in my hometown, which is called 'nature is hard to change'. Especially for a boy of this age, even with his father's persuasion, it is impossible for him to change so quickly. Moreover, the Yan people are generous and sad, and have the best face, even if Gu Xinzhi knows It's wrong, and it's impossible for you to come and apologize to us in person."
"Judging from Lao Dao Gu Ze's behavior, even if he wants Gu Xin to come and apologize, he will definitely accompany him in person. But now he only sees his son but not his father. There must be something wrong with this."
When Zhao Tuo said this, he smiled at Shejian and said, "You are right, this kid is really going to cause trouble."
