The wealthy businessman who got off the merchant ship hurried over with his shy daughter.
"Brother Chen, this is——"
As they got closer, the rich man responded and then turned his attention to Xu Mu next to him. The shy girl suddenly raised her head and blinked.
"I told you before that this is my boss. In the future, you will be able to travel between the two states and do your business, and there will definitely be no problem." Chen Sheng said with a smile.
Xu Mu smiled and looked at the wealthy businessman named Su Dagui, then turned his head and glanced at the girl who was sizing him up.
The girl's face turned red with embarrassment and she hung her head hastily.
"I wonder what kind of business Mr. Su plans to do."
"Shu brocade, oil, and medicinal materials from Muyun and Cangzhou are all acceptable."
"I heard that there seems to be iron and stone over there in Cangzhou——"
"Master, I can't touch this." Su Dagui's face turned pale and he waved his hands hastily.
Xu Mu frowned slightly and smiled, but didn't say anything.
In fact, Su Dagui did not lie to him. Although the small imperial court in Cangzhou was in ruins, ordinary merchants still did not dare to touch things such as iron and stone. Of course, if you dared to cheat, you would probably calm down and continue the conversation after a while.
Obviously, Su Dagui is not this kind of person.
"Chen Sheng, make arrangements for Shopkeeper Su, don't neglect it."
After quieting his voice, Xu Mu looked sideways and found that the shy rich lady was still blinking and peeking at him cautiously.
When he noticed that he was looking over, he quickly lowered his head.
"Brother Mu, that girl is so beautiful!" Si Hu said after walking a little further, "If not, let her be the third wife?"
"If Li Dawan hears this, she will pick up her broom and chase you."
No matter how beautiful the country is, we are not the same people after all.
"Si Hu, if not I can find you a wife?"
"Brother Mu, I don't want anyone sharing the steamed buns."
"You stupid fool!"
Xu Mu was speechless and walked straight forward.
…
The wind and sand in Liangzhou were probably a little messy, so Jia Zhou and others who were waiting outside the city were already covered in shit within two days.
"Military advisor, why hasn't the young prince of Liangzhou come back yet?"
Jia Zhou's face was silent for a long time before he slowly uttered two words.
"wait."
The nearly fifty men and horses had no choice but to follow Jia Zhou's wishes and continue to stay where they were, resting around the campfire.
Outside Liangzhou City, there is a small Gobi town.
Dong Wen bowed and knelt on the mat, his face full of calmness. Compared with the chattering appearance in the past, he was completely different.
"What do you think?" In front of him, a scholar did not turn around and only uttered a faint sentence.
"I think it's an opportunity."
"It is indeed your opportunity to send people to Liangzhou with Yipin Buyi. But you need to understand that this is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, it can help you take the position of King of Liangzhou. If you use it poorly, you
In fact, it is also a chess piece of others."
"What is the wisdom of the military advisor?"
"I have said before, you take the position of King of Liangzhou and then call me military advisor. I, Lianghu, will not assist mediocre people."
Dong Wen looked silent.
"You were born the son of a maid. Even if you were adopted by the Queen of Liangzhou, no one would think highly of you. You are smart and know the principle of great talent hidden in weakness."
"If I hadn't hidden my clumsiness, I would have died a long time ago." Dong Wen smiled.
"I know what you are thinking, so this is why I am willing to see you. Liangzhou is bitterly cold. Although there are eight counties, it will not become a royal land even if it takes ten or a hundred years."
"Take Liangzhou, take Anzhou and Bingzhou to the west, and gain the land of the best horses in the world. When the cavalry army is strong, you will definitely be able to win a share of the country in this troubled time."
Dong Wen listened carefully.
"If you ask my opinion, please invite that poisonous owl into Liangzhou City. Your father, the king of Liangzhou, is a short-sighted man. Everyone in the world knows that that commoner in the world is more like a little
The candidates left by the Marquis."
"So, I will agree to it." The scholar turned his back and gave a faint smile, "You don't need me to teach you the next thing, you should know how to do it."
Dong Wen nodded coldly, "Thank you, sir."
"As I said before, if you have the ability, conquer Liangzhou and become the king of Liangzhou, and then invite me to come out."
"Come back."
Dong Wen stood up, bowed his head, walked a few more steps, and suddenly turned into a bitter melon face again.
A book boy who was accompanying me insisted on following him.
"Little prince——"
The bitter gourd face suddenly bloomed into a cold smile.
The long sword was unsheathed and stabbed through the book boy's belly. The corpse was also thrown far away to feed the sand wolves.
"The eldest brother's people? Or the second brother's people?"
The dead cannot speak. It only took a moment for the corpse to be bitten by two sand wolves that smelled the blood.
Dong Wen wiped the blood from the sword blade and got on his horse. Not long after, horse hooves could be heard on the vast Gobi road.
In the early morning of the third day, Jia Zhou stood in the sandy wind and coughed several times. When he raised his head, he saw Dong Wen's figure and rushed back crying.
"Mr. Jia, I'm sorry! I was stopped by the guards in the palace earlier. I finally begged someone to get into the palace."
"Young prince, don't blame yourself." Jia Zhou struggled to smile.
"I told you before, my father has not liked me since I was a child——"
Everyone present started rubbing their ears.
After Dong Wen finished complaining, the group of people slowly mounted their horses.
Sitting in the carriage, Jia Zhou closed his eyes slightly and fell into deep thought again.
…
"Broken city——"
Standing on the top of a large city, Li Zhiqiu, with his face stained with blood, raised his head and roared.
"Break the city!"
"Kill all the dog officer rebels!"
Following his voice, countless knights in white raised their swords and roared. The rebels behind, pushing their baggage, also kept shouting.
Li Zhiqiu had a cold face, held up his long sword, and stepped slowly down the city wall.
A leader of the defeated army knelt on the ground wailing, kowtowing to him and begging for mercy.
Li Zhiqiu's face was expressionless, and he slashed his sword downwards, then chopped off the head of the leader of the defeated army.
The splattered blood fell on his entire body, making his eyes shine with something else besides the blood stains.
"The mountains and rivers are shrouded in mist and rain."
"Destroy the dynasty with one sword in ten years."
"Behead the Dynasty——"
Countless warriors rushed into the city gates, killing them until the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
"Master, there is the Cloud Tower in front of us."
Li Zhiqiu raised his head and lowered his sword, paused, and smiled happily.
…
"What you have in your hands is not just a sword, but also our hope to survive." Yu Wen stepped on his shoes, held his riding whip, and stood coldly in the formation of the new army with his bare upper body full of scars.
, walked back and forth.
"Raise your sword! Level your shield!"
"With your back against the robe, form a circle with a round shape."
"The thirteen counties in Shuzhou, starting from today, will definitely be frightened by the reputation of my Xu Family Army!"
The sound of training in the distance did not distract Xu Mu.
He stood coldly on the river bank, facing the color of the water in his eyes, and his face began to become serious without realizing it.
