Chapter 255 Rumors Are Spreading!
Zhan Tianqi came and left in a hurry.
On the carriage back, Gu Chunfeng said, "Sir, your visit to Liuhe this time has not brought Nie Yong the results he wants!"
Zhan Tianqi said softly, "Nie Yong should be mentally prepared! This is what the prince means. If he is not his own, he cannot use the method of treating his own people..."
"But Lord Zhan, Lu Zheng is extraordinary. This provincial examination is also very important to him. I think Nie Yong and Lu Zheng should be treated differently." Gu Chunfeng said.
"It's a different treatment. Why did I go there specifically? Isn't it because of Lu Zheng? This time, I'm afraid he will get involved in the courtesan war. If the prince is unhappy, I'm afraid he will not be able to do anything in the future!" Zhan Tianqi said.
Gu Chunfeng's lips were tilted, and he wanted to speak but stopped. Zhan Tianqi said: "I know what you want to say. Don't underestimate this battle between the courtesans. His Highness the King of Qin is the most bizarre and is especially good at exerting force in places that others ignore.
This time, Li Qianqian rose so quickly, obviously for the courtesan. If nothing unexpected happens, this woman will definitely win over Lu Zheng. If Lu Zheng takes action to help her, she will definitely succeed!"
Gu Chunfeng said: "Mr. Zhan, the Qin King's mind is indeed exquisite. The competition for courtesans is just about the wind and moon. Even if it is said to be a big deal, it will not be able to reach the elegant hall.
However, this incident involves the Gu family again. It seems to be a comparison between the courtesans, but in fact it is the influence of the Gu family on the Qinhuai River. Whether Biyun Pavilion can continue to become the number one pleasure boat in the Qinhuai River can be seen through a courtesans battle.
The Jiangnan Quanjia was defeated and wronged, and their popularity was robbed, and the emperor always liked it. The King of Qin used this move to enter Jiangnan quietly. I have to say that this is a wonderful step!"
Zhan Tianqi sighed and said, "Mr. Gu really hit my heart. The wonderful thing about the Qin King's move is that I know it was his work, but it is inconvenient to stop it.
The King of Qin has won the holy heart, and any role played by the prince in this may cause the emperor to be dissatisfied. It is not appropriate to come to Liuhe like me today. Fortunately, I did not see Lu Zheng himself, and I hope Nie Yong can see through all this."
Gu Chunfeng said: "Sir, you may be disappointed! In Nie Yong's heart, his disciples are much more important than you. In order to make a breakthrough for his disciples, he may not listen to you.
Besides, Lu Zheng is a young man after all, and he is successful in his youth. Can he resist the temptation when facing the rich Qinhuai River? I think it is difficult!"
Gu Chunfeng paused and continued: "The courtesan dispute over the Qinhuai River, sir, what you see is Li Qianqian. In fact, there is also the Ruan family, the emerging power in Jiangnan, and the Lu family, which has declined and is difficult to make a comeback. These families need to take such an opportunity to show their faces no matter what!
After all, Lu Zheng is the illegitimate son of the Lu family. Can you stop him from betting on the girl he likes? The matter in Jiangnan is still very complicated. Behind the Ruan family is the Prince Dai, and Ruan Jingnian's precious grandson, Ruan Shaolin, can emerge in the provincial examination this time? It is probably starting from the Qinhuai River!"
Zhan Tianqi said: "I feel even worse after hearing what Mr. said! What should I do with the words of Mr.?"
Gu Chunfeng laughed and said, "Sir, have you already made a decision? If you don't get involved, it is the first priority for you to completely master the Nanfu Army.
At present, the cavalry battalion Cheng Hu has taken root in Liuhe, and Cheng Hu and Nie Yong have established a personal relationship. This is the number one general of the Nanfu Army. If the Lord can conquer his heart, the Nanfu Army will be worry-free from now on!"
Zhan Tianqi and Gu Chunfeng quickly shifted the topic to the Southern Mansion Army, and at this time, Liuhe, Nie Yong, Cheng Hu and Lu Zheng were already having dinner at the same table.
According to Lu Zheng's arrangement, Cheng Hu successfully moved his home to Sankong Bridge. The house where Cheng Hu lives now was the house prepared by Gu Zhilun for Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng himself couldn't live, so he gave up the house to Cheng Hu and tied the relationship between Cheng Hu and Nie Yong. This was the first layer of protection set up by Lu Zheng for Nie Yong. After Lu Zheng's hard work, Cheng Hu has now fully accepted Nie Yong.
Cheng Hu especially likes Lu Zheng. Whenever he eats and drinks, he likes to bring Lu Zheng together.
"Come on, Brother Zheng, have another glass of wine! Scholars have many ideas. You are young, but you have a lot of bad ideas!
Mom is so naughty. Just the messy thing about the Nanfu Army, you made a lot of money by turning your hands to make clouds and rain. Hehe, you have such thoughts, it’s great. I, Cheng Hu, I’ll convince you, come! I’ve done it!"
Cheng Hu pulled his neck and shouted, siping the wine in the glass.
He looked like a living Zhang Fei, but in fact, he was very clever and extremely difficult to deal with. However, he was stunned by Lu Zheng's methods of dealing with the Nanfu Army, and he was willing to be led by Lu Zheng. Lu Zheng finally understood Lu Zheng's intentions.
At first he thought Lu Zheng was planning for Zhan Tianqi, but later he thought that Lu Zheng was thinking about Nie Yong. Later, he felt that the cavalry battalion of the Southern Prefecture Army seemed to have taken a lot of advantage. From then on, the supply of food and equipment was no longer a problem. Cheng Hu was only able to train troops with all his heart, which was something Cheng Hu had always dreamed of!
But soon, he found that the Nanfu Army seemed to have been fooled, because after the Nanfu Army was disbanded, its strength was weakened, and it would be easier for others to deal with them.
Finally, Cheng Hu suddenly realized that everyone seemed to have been fooled. Lu Zheng used this matter of the Southern Mansion Army to make a fortune! He cheated the Gu family, looted the He family's wealth, and cheated the Southern Mansion Army, and did not let the prince take advantage of it. Nie Yong opened up the situation and gained a firm foothold.
After sorting out everything, Cheng Hu found that Lu Zheng and his disciples had the best, and the others seemed to have suffered a loss. Cheng Hu felt it was incredible to get this result. From then on, he was overwhelmed by Lu Zheng. His dignified fifth-rank general and Lu Zheng were brothers and brothers. The two had their personal relationships. The cavalry battalion knew.
There is no need to inform Lu Zheng about entering and leaving Cheng Hu's military account, and he comes and goes freely. Only Lu Zheng can have such courtesy in Jiangnan!
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Cheng Hu's temper became more and more relaxed. He put one hand on Lu Zheng's shoulder and said, "Brother Zheng, there is something that has been spreading wildly in Jinling recently, that is the annual courtesan competition! Hehe, why don't I envy you scholars if I say it?
We warriors defend our country, fight bloody battles on the battlefield, and are not afraid of horses and corpses. However, in the world, we summarize the words "coarse people". Girls only like talented people!
Just like this courtesan competition, anyone who knows the inside story knows that the courtesan has forces behind it, and how many talented people can be used to call on these forces can almost determine the result of the courtesan competition.
Brother Zheng, you are going to show your power this time, right? Let me give you a clear idea. Who are you helping this time? Brother, I will go back to the gambling shop and put in more money. After making money, you and I will add 5. How about the equal division?"
As Cheng Hu said this, Nie Yong frowned slightly. Today he met Zhan Tianqi. Zhan Tianqi didn't give him any bullshit promises, but instead told him that Lu Zheng would not get involved in the courtesan competition.
Nie Yong threw a cup and scolded his mother in the back house for this matter. Zhan Tianqi's attitude completely angered him. If it weren't for the two sides that they could not have broken up, Nie Yong would definitely be angry on the spot today.
Even so, Nie Yong was not prepared to restrain Lu Zheng. In his opinion, with Lu Zheng's talent and knowledge, he would not have to worry about not having any power to rely on in the future.
As long as others know Lu Zheng's talent, any force will snatch him under his command at all costs. In this case, since Zhan Tianqi has such an attitude, how could Nie Yong let Lu Zheng touch someone's cold butt?
Lu Zheng didn't know that there was another story. He frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Cheng, I haven't received any invitation yet. Haha, even if someone invites me, I guess I have to treat it with caution. After all, the master has already said so clearly. If I accidentally stepped into deep water and drowned, that would be bad, right?"
Cheng Hu smiled and said, "Is that so? That's so boring! I thought I would see your style, Brother Zheng, but I didn't expect that you were going to hide your strength this time. Forget it, I can't control your scholars' affairs. However, in the courtesan competition, the Nanfu Army also has its responsibilities. If you have any requests for anything within my responsibilities, I will never refuse!"
After Cheng Hu said this, Lu Zheng looked at Nie Yong, and Nie Yong said: "Mr. Cheng, are you responsible for the defense of the Qinhuai River? I didn't expect that there would be so many preparations in this courtesan competition. What Lord Cheng received today is Governor Zhan's military order?"
Cheng Hu glared at Nie Yong and said, "Mr. Nie, some words can be said, and some words should not be said randomly. War is a major event of the country. The secrets cannot be easily explained!"
He paused and said, "Many things in this world are like this, plausible and elusive, just like a courtesan competition. Some people say that this competition is unprecedentedly popular, and that students in the provincial examination should compete for fame, with the purpose of betting on Guo Song's preferences.
Some people also said that this time, Mirage Pavilion has won the top card, Li Qianqian, who wants to compete with the Gu family's Biyun Tower. This time, the Gu family lost in Liuhe and damaged their vitality. Some people took advantage of the Gu family's failure to rob and take advantage of the fire and take advantage of the situation!
Some people also said that a battle between the courtesans involved the dispute between the prince and the King of Qin. The relationship between the King of Qin and King Pu suddenly improved. The Mirage Pavilion has always been the second place, and this time it suddenly became the first place.
His Highness Pu is the younger brother of the current emperor. He definitely does not have the courage to compete for the first place. The only explanation is that the Mirage Pavilion may have changed hands. He has transferred the huge Fengyue business to His Highness Qin. His Highness, the talented and wise King of Qin, has to use Fengyue to express his feelings and must be the first place! In other words, he must overwhelm the prince.
