Li Ke, as Jiedong envoy of Hedong, mastered the military and political power of Hedong. The official position of Yin in Taiyuan Prefecture was also on the body. Except for Li Keyuan, the two leaders in Taiyuan Prefecture had the highest real power.
Zhong Meili is one of these two young Yins. He is in his fifties and originated from the Taiyuan Wang family. He is so stagnant after reaching the fourth level of Qi training that he has no hope of being promoted to the fifth level of Qi training.
However, this did not hinder his prestige. On the contrary, as the core figure representing the power of Taiyuan ’s local family and controlling power in the government office, Zhong Meili had a solid “mass foundation”.
All this can be attributed to his transcendent wisdom in terms of human circumstances.
Because of this, Zhongfu has always been the home of a crowded city, and there are countless dignitaries and wealthy merchants who usually come and go. Those who are not high in status and wealth are not qualified to enter the door of the government, let alone seeing Zhong Meili, who is a “manager of opportunities”, and fell in love with him and asked him to do business.
On this day, the weather was fine and windy, and Zhong Muli, the most favorite of the family, was under the care of a large group of girls, leaning on the beautiful peony flowers in the courtyard.
Wei's life was as beautiful as a flowery figure, but she was mature and charming in her twenties and forty-five years. She leaned her legs on a wooden rail with her legs folded. The clothes and makeup are extremely expensive, and every object is not a vulgar thing. The whole person is like a moving treasure house.
A girl wearing a satin cloth, holding a treasure box in her hand, hurriedly came to Wei's face with a happy face, and handed the box with her hands: "Master, this is the best thing I received today. "
Wei's hand slowly stretched out as white as jade, sticking the orchid fingers to take over the treasure box, opened it, and immediately frowned. There is a jasper bracelet in the treasure box. The flower decoration is exquisite and exquisite.
Of course, this is not a big deal, the key is that this is a very high-grade instrument, as high as Wei's identity, it is usually not available at all.
"Which kind of person sent this?" Wei's took the bracelet, and he couldn't help but touch and try it on.
The girl said: "The man claimed to be the distant relative of the owner, and this time he came to visit the owner intentionally."
Soon, a young man came to Weishi.
This person is so good-looking that it can be described by Fengshen Junlang, which is a type that is very flattering to women.
Wei smiled slightly: "Why don't you remember your relative?"
The young man behaved politely, with a mellow smile and a kindness, which made him feel extra gracious: "Mrs. nobles are more forgetful, and they should be remembered when they are down, but they still have a good memory of the wife." Then he took out A treasure box with both hands: "This is the token below. I believe that the lady will see this cousin next to me."
The box is naturally not a token, but a more precious instrument than a bracelet. It is a jade, with both decorative and magical effects. Its preciousness is rare to see even Zhong Meili.
Wei's was a bit of a flatterer. After Xiaoyingying's instrument, she really "remembered" her distant cousin.
"Say, what do you want to do for you?" Wei's asked cheerfully after receiving the gift.
She has experienced this kind of thing a lot, and many people can't directly contact Zhong Meili, they will go roundabout. Bribery and marriage are the most common choices, and Wei's favorite side room, Zhong Muli, is naturally a lot of people who give gifts.
"As long as the wife recommends Zhong Shaoyin to the next." Said the young man, his smile more mellow.
"Who the **** are you and where did you come from?" After a moment of groaning, Wei didn't agree directly.
Those who can easily come up with such precious instruments as a meeting gift are definitely not small, at least the financial resources are still above Zhong Meili. What kind of things do such people need to do?
The young man did not go around the corner: "Chang'an."
The next day, the young man visited Zhongfu again. This time he enjoyed a completely different treatment than yesterday. He was directly led by Wei's maid to Wei's courtyard, and the other party set up tea and cakes to serve.
On the third day, when the young man went to Zhongfu again, he saw Zhong Meili as he wished.
The two sat against the case, this time the young man did not pull out the instrument, but directly presented the gift list.
Because the weight of the gift list was enough, but not too heavy to frighten Zhong Meili, the two talked very well.
The young man claimed that he was a merchant in Chang'an, and there were multiple caravans between Sanjin and Guanzhong. This time, Zhong Meili was asked because a caravan was seized by the Taiyuan Army, so he asked the other party to help him out.
During the war, this kind of thing was very common. After asking the caravan's name, size, and variety of goods, Zhong Meili agreed on the spot. Although Zhong Meili does not hold the military power, relying on his contacts in Taiyuan, as long as the caravan is nothing special, this kind of thing is easy.
Soon the caravan was released, and the goods were not bad. Some young men came to thank him with a generous gift, and Zhong Meili naturally welcomed him.
After two visits, the two became familiar.
The young men who go south and north are always in the hands of the Quartet. Some are not very valuable, but they are also interesting, and give Zhong Meili some from time to time.
In addition, he is well-informed and talks well, and he is also personable and very close to the appetite, and the relationship between the two gradually gets closer.
The young men's shops and caravans in Taiyuan City were therefore taken care of by Taiyuan House, and they had a lot of convenience.
On this day, the two banqueted at Zhongfu.
After drinking for a while, the young man sighed, "The world is changing, and the flames of fire are everywhere, and I and other businessmen have become more and more difficult to survive. Right now, King An has invaded Hedong, and even more than ten counties have been attacked within ten days. Unstoppable, this Hedong business is afraid that it will not be able to continue, so it must be prepared early ... "
Zhong Meili's eyes changed. "In ten days, even more than ten counties were conquered." Of course, the official army captured Qinzhou, Fenzhou, and nearly ten counties, as well as several counties in Yizhou.
According to the official army situation, Taiyuan City will soon be attacked, which is also a concern of many people. Everyone will migrate to avoid military disasters, and businessmen must prepare early. Because after the army captured the city and plundered the city, the first victims were the merchants with wealth.
Zhong Meili certainly did not want the other party to withdraw from the shops and caravans in Taiyuan City. The two haven't known each other for a long time, but Zhong Meili has gained a lot of benefits from the other side. As long as they get along, they will have a steady stream of wealth in the future. If the other side is gone now, these will be gone.
Zhong Meili persuaded: "I Hadong has strong soldiers and strong horses, and General Li Cunxiao has been promoted to the ranks of soldiers. His Majesty Li is invincible. He must not lose in this battle, and the other soldiers and horses cannot reach Taiyuan City. Brother Zhou Don't worry!
The young man's name was Zhou Chuanwen, and he shook his head and sighed: "Shao Yin can't agree with him. Who is Li Cunxiao? I haven't heard of it before, but what about An Wang, who doesn't know? Old King An or King Xin An, they have fought the world from north to south. Have they ever been defeated? "
Zhong Meili froze and couldn't speak for a while, because it was a fact.
Zhou Chuanwen's voice was heavy: "Walk south and north, make heroes, and have friends everywhere. Pinglu's old friend wrote to him that King An was ready to play and he would give Hedong a fatal blow at any time."
"And Chang'an is even more popular. His Majesty is about to send a minister to Hedong to assist in battle-although they have no fighting power, they are holding the decree of Tianzi and have the qualifications to judge right and wrong. The guilt will be a great blow to the morale and the public! "
Zhong Meili opened her mouth. The weight of these two messages is not too light: "Does this matter seriously?"
Zhou Chuanwen said: "It's true! So I plan to collect the goods and prepare for leaving, so-called Cunning Rabbit Caves, it's always right to be prepared to retreat."
Zhong Meili was silent for a long time, and bitterly said: "What a cunning rabbit and three caves, Brother Zhou is a wonderful person, and there is a way out, we in Hedong are gone!"
Zhou Chuanwen's eyes flashed: "Hedong doesn't, 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 that has no choice is Hedong Jiedushi!"
The meaning is quite clear.
Zhong Meili's gaze was deep: "The King of Longxi County is a man who is astounded and has a bright future ..."
Zhou Chuanwen smiled: "Only shocking is brilliant, and the future is immense. Can the King of Longxi County compare with King An?"
Zhong Meili was silent again. He was optimistic about Li Keyong, and he could not talk nonsense with his eyes open.
Zhou Chuanwen continued: "Furthermore, King An represents the court and has a righteous name."
Zhong Meili did not speak for a while, and Zhou Chuanwen stopped speaking, and the two were silent.
Suddenly, Zhong Meili looked at Zhou Chuanwen, his eyes were sharp like a sword, and he wanted to see the other party transparently: "What kind of person are you?"
Zhou Chuanwen smiled still: "Businessman."
"Not quite like an average businessman!" Zhong Mei Li Han whispered.
Zhou Chuanwen smiled a little brighter: "A businessman in the Cunning Rabbit and Three Caves naturally has an old friend in the court. For the people in the world, the biggest escape route in this world is the court. Is there any reason to ignore it?"
Zhong Meili's eyes were gloomy: "You really are a court man! No, you are King An's! Say, what are you trying to do when you are close to my official?"
Seeing his posture, as long as he doesn't agree, Zhou Chuanwen will not be able to get out of this room.
Zhou Chuanwen converged his smile, righteousness, and solemnly solemnly said: "Here is the people of the court, isn't Shao Yin? This world is the world of the Tang Dynasty, the subjects are the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, allegiance to the court, is it not you and me?"
When he smiles, he feels like a spring breeze and feels intimacy, but when he is righteous, he is like a dwarf, and he feels free and awe-inspiring.
He sipped his drink without rushing. Zhou Chuanwen looked at Zhong Meili, whose eyes were constantly changing: "As for why here is here, of course, to save Shao Yin! Without it, Shao Yin's life will not be saved: exactly Because of the situation, Shao Yin will be able to show his big picture and shine in the future! "
This sentence is arrogant.
Zhong Meili's face changed, and she said angrily, "What a big tone! I want to see, what qualifications do you have to dare to save me?" By the way, he suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhou Chuanwen!
A nine-footed hand condensed with reiki brought wind and electricity, and immediately came to the other side. Its mighty power makes people have no doubt that the other party will be crushed in the next moment!
At this moment, Zhong Meili's cultivation is undoubtedly exposed. It is actually not the fourth layer of gas refining that everyone knows, but the six-layer peak of gas training that has touched the threshold of high gas training!
It turned out that he has always hidden strength.
Zhou Chuanwen sat motionless, as if he didn't notice the danger, only the corner of his mouth moved slightly, seeming to disdain. As soon as he waved his sleeves, he was like dust from a Buddha.
The big nine-foot hand made a loud noise, and the smoke disappeared instantly.
Zhong Meili, who had a violent desire, suddenly felt that a large mountain was pressed down on her body, fell back to the seat, and could no longer move.
This shocked him so much that the other party ’s cultivation was so high that he could not compete with it at all. However, the monks who practice high qi already have the qualifications to serve as Jiedushi, how can they be a merchant?
Zhong Meili's words were difficult: "You ... you ..."
Zhou Chuanwen's smile returned to mild, but his eyes have become somewhat playful: "Now Shao Yin feels, is there any qualification to save you?"
Zhong Meili sweated coldly on his forehead.
He shot, naturally not all irritated by the other party, trying to teach the other party. More, he is trying to test each other's depth and see if this guy with an extraordinary background has the qualification to speak big.
It turns out that the other party has.
Since there is, the situation has changed.
The other party represents the court, and it is likely that it represents King An!
The battle was stalemate, and the situation was not good for Hedong. But at least, now King An has captured more than 10 counties in Hedong.
If Zhong Meili wants to leave a way for himself, a way for the Zhong family, and also learn the skills of the Three Rabbits Cave, what should be done at this moment, you have to weigh carefully.
Zhou Chuanwen put away coercion, Zhong Meili felt the pressure on his body disappeared, but the pressure on his heart was even heavier.
After a moment, Zhong Meili got up and left the seat, saluting Zhou Chuanwen seriously: "What did Brother Zhou tell us, as long as the officials can do it, they will never quit!"
If you want to buy yourself a back road, of course you have to pay the price and submit a vote.
