The two alien flying blue cloud patterns called donkey were very happy, and they were running with small steps of "kicking and stomping".

Behind the little knight, there was a black painted carriage of extremely ordinary style. Zhao Xiu was like a wooden statue, sitting upright in the carriage. His face was as deep as water, his body was still motionless, and even his clothes were not wrinkled at all.

Calm and generous, what happened at his door a few months ago, and someone squirted about the whole door of his house with horse blood, as if it had never happened.

The carriage entered Jiuquxi Hall and walked along the winding forest road.

Zhao Xiu finally turned around and looked at the "Sanshengtang" surrounded by green shade on the road, frowned slightly.

From the instinct of the secret detective of the Cardinal Hall, Zhao Xiu was full of curiosity about worldly affairs. Although the main responsibility of the Cardinal Hall was aimed at the two enemy countries of Dawei and Dawu, Zhao Xiu had a team of men under him, dedicated to spying on various secrets within the Dajin Dynasty.

In Jiuquxi Hall, he has mastered 99% of the owners of thousands of buildings.

Only the real master of Sanshengtang was unable to find out.

The owner of the Sanshengtang is an imperial merchant who specializes in supplying tribute silk and brocade to the royal family in Anyang City. But how could a mere royal merchant own such a house in Jiuquxi Hall?

How many princes who have no real power are still staring at the industries in Jiuquxi Hall?

However, no matter how Zhao Xiu's people investigate, they can't find out who is used by Sanshengtang on weekdays. In Anyang City, those under Zhao Xiu's men must not make too much noise, so the real owner of Sanshengtang has always been a mystery to Zhao Xiu.

My heart is very itchy.

Zhao Xiu hates this situation that cannot be completely controlled.

With a deep look at Sanshengtang, Zhao Xiu snorted gently and almost inauspiciously, and took out a top-quality large egg yolk bead, held in his hand and started playing with it carefully.

The little knights who had just bought the two ends ran lightly, bypassing the extremely exquisite and gorgeous mansions, and finally came to a light silver bamboo forest. After walking along the winding path twice, walking through a bamboo bridge on a clear stream, the carriage stopped in front of a three-story building called "Tingfeng Pavilion".

A few wisps of faint clouds spewed out from the silver bamboo forest, and the entire bamboo forest fell into a layer of extremely restrained and mysterious ban.

Zhao Xiu got off the carriage, straightened his waist, and looked around.

The white-haired old man driving stood tremblingly. He seemed to be in his twilight years old. The cold light in his triangular eyes was extremely sharp, like a blade, quickly swept across the entire courtyard, and explained the sentence "Old but not dead is a thief" to the fullest.

A middle-aged man with a graceful and luxurious body covered in brocade and a bright smile came up from the door of the small building, bowing deeply to Zhao Xiu respectfully: "Sir, come here, the glory is shining, please!"

"Yes." Zhao Xiu nodded, followed the middle-aged man with a smile, and slowly walked into Tingfeng Pavilion.

The old man who drove Zhao Xiu smiled and sat on the shaft of the car. He took out a long large cigarette pole and stuffed it into the metal pipe the size of a fist with burnt tobacco. He shook his fingers with a spark and lit the tobacco, and started smoking it 'bang'.

One by one, the green smoke rings were slowly sprayed out from the pipe, turning into large and small cyan apertures, which merged into the ban in the bamboo forest.

After a while, the entire Tingfeng Pavilion's ban was under the control of the old man. Even if the formation master who originally arranged all the Tingfeng Pavilion's bans took action personally, if he wanted to invade here, he would definitely alarm the old man.

On the third floor of Tingfeng Pavilion, a large round table with eight treasures inlaid is placed upright in the middle. There are more than a dozen tables around it, displaying various rare treasures. There are no candles on the third floor, and the various jewels on the table are already illuminated.

Next to a table, an old man with a long beard and an ancient appearance was carrying his hands behind his back, surrounded by several men of different heights and lengths. The group was smiling and commenting on the various treasures on the table.

The maid who was born delicate and gentle, with endless autumn waves in her eyes were filled with smiles, standing aside with a variety of charm, quietly waiting for everyone's call.

"Sir Gu, I'm so excited!" Zhao Xiu went up to the third floor and laughed out loud: "You are so precious, it's rare to see someone like you."

The old man with a long beard smiled and turned around and bowed to Zhao Xiu: "Shame, ashamed, how precious is it? Well, Lord Zhao Xiu, this is Mr. Wan Hongwan, this is Mr. Wan Hongwan, this is Mr. Wan Hong's eldest son Wan Xi."

Lord Gu pointed at a shorter old man beside him. The one who was full of pearls and treasures was born with grace and wealth, but his behavior was quite cautious and even with a hint of restraint was Wan Hong.

And Wan Xi is the middle-aged man who welcomed Zhao Xiu to the third floor.

Wan Hong suddenly stepped forward two steps, bent down with some difficulty, and bowed deeply to Zhao Xiu: "Mr. Zhao, you are rude and rude. The villain should have gone to greet him in person, but it is really rude."

Lord Gu smiled and shook his head, waved his hand: "Mr. Zhao, it was me who asked Mr. Wan to introduce the origins of these rare treasures to me. Haha, please don't be surprised by Lord Zhao. In fact, these treasures here today are not ordinary things."

Zhao Xiu nodded with a smile, and his eyes quickly swept over more than a dozen cases.

Then he smiled even brighter, his breath became quite gentle and full of affinity. As Master Gu said, these dozen treasures displayed on the tables were rare treasures, and even Zhao Xiu could not get them so easily.

Zhao Xiu looked at Wan Hong deeply. As a businessman, it is worth it to have such strength.

"Please, Lord Zhao, please!" Lord Gu smiled and held Zhao Xiu's hand. The two of them came to the round table and refused each other. After all, Zhao Xiu was the chairman, and Lord Gu sat aside with him.

The other men, together with Wan Hong, Wan Xi and his son, all smiled and carefully sat down at the round table according to their status.

The maids walked up like butterflies, carrying the seven-treasure glass wine pot, and poured amber-colored fine wine into the crystal bottle in front of Zhao Xiu and others. The fragrant aroma of the wine suddenly seemed to be the essence, filling the entire three-story pavilion, which was so scented that it made people drunk without drinking it.

Lord Gu raised the wine master and nodded to Zhao Xiu with a smile: "Mr. Zhao, Wan Hong has had some friendship with me in his early years. This time he begged me to me. I was thinking that in Anyang City, only Lord Zhao can have this help, so he took the liberty to give me an invitation to Lord Zhao. Come on, and drink this cup full."

Wan Hong and Wan Xi and his son stood up immediately, laughing and did not dare to say anything, but just raised the wine master and looked at Zhao Xiu with a humble look on his face.

Zhao Xiu looked at Wan Hong and Wan Xi with a little reserved look, pondered for a moment, nodded to Lord Gu with a smile, picked up the wine master, and gently touched the wine master in Lord Gu's hand, and then the two of them laughed and drank it all.

Next to the round table, six other men, Wan Hong, and Wan Xi and his son suddenly laughed at the same time. They all raised their wine lords and drank the glass of American wine in one gulp.

The atmosphere on the round table suddenly became lively.

The ancient master is named Gu Haoran, the chief grandson of the "Wenhua Hall" in the imperial palace of the Great Jin Divine Kingdom, and the head of the four arts worship of the imperial palace. He usually stays with the Great Jin Divine Emperor, writing and painting, playing piano and chess. Sometimes some of the decrees of the Great Jin Divine Emperor were also oral narrated by the God Emperor. He wrote and was a noble figure in Anyang City.

Gu Haoran has no real power, but has a great influence and a very wide connection. Even a strong left-leaning prime minister like Linghu Qingqing will sell him three points.

Therefore, in Anyang City, some people say that as long as you can successfully enter the Gu Haoran family, there are very few things that cannot be done.

How close did Wan Hong and Gu Haoran have in their early years?

Haha, Zhao Xiu naturally didn't believe this. In Gu Haoran's mansion, he was Zhao Xiu's eyes and ears. When did Wan Hong ask for a visit and how much the cost was it cost. Zhao Xiu knew very well, but there was nothing he didn't understand.

Even Zhao Xiu knew the origin of Wan Hong clearly.

Just southeast of Anyang City, the richest and most fertile land of the Great Jin Divine Kingdom, there is a country called "Zhongqi Kingdom", whose king is a royal prince of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The backer of Wanhong's business name "Sijiangyuan" is the prince who loves the most and has the most chance to take over the throne. Therefore, Sijiangyuan is prosperous and has extremely amazing wealth.

Six months ago, the unlucky prince was suddenly revealed to have an affair with the concubine of the king of Zhongshan. After a royal battle with a scattered sword and arrows, the prince died inexplicably. The prince, who had the worst relationship with him, took over his throne of prince.

Sijiangyuan is a treasure pot for the prince of the Dead Ghost to make money, which has long attracted countless people to look at it.

At this moment, the backer fell, and the lives of Wanhong's whole family were worrying, and there was a risk of family destruction at any time.

Wan Hong is also a ruthless person. When his backer fell, he immediately donated money to escape. The huge Sijiangyuan became an empty shell overnight. Sijiangyuan was spread all over the surrounding stores in dozens of countries, and the industry was sold in a very short time. The astronomical huge sums became Wan Hong's private property.

At this moment, Wan Hong asked for Wan Haoran's head, and thought he wanted to save his life.

According to Zhao Xiu's original intention, he wanted to swallow Wanhong's whole family in one bite. He has this strength and confidence to do it without any leakage.

But, one is Gu Haoran's face, the second is his Zhao Xiu's face, and the third is his Zhao Xiu's face, and the third is that he is aware that making a fortune is worse than making a long-lasting fortune.

If he swallowed Wanhong's whole family in one bite and suddenly made a fortune, the old guys from the Zhao family would also reach out.

And this kind of long-lasting flow of water, slowly gaining benefits from Wan Hong's home, and such a "graceful and calm" behavior is in line with his identity, in line with the impression he has always given, and in line with his interests.

Putting down the wine master, Zhao Xiu said lightly: "Mr. Wan Hong, can you rest assured... Wan Xi, do you intend to serve in the military headquarters?"

Wan Hong smiled, and Wan Xi stood up in great joy, and knelt down solemnly at Zhao Xiu's great gift: "Mr. Zhao appreciates it, this is the honor of the grass people!"

Gu Haoran also smiled brightly.

When Wan Hong asked his relationship to come to him, his conditions had already been explained.

After Gu Haoran received the filial piety he should have, he also passed on Wan Hong's conditions to Zhao Xiu.

Zhao Xiu also explained his conditions and threshold to Gu Haoran.

Under Gu Haoran's operation, all tacit understanding has been achieved.

All the performances at this moment are just the last step in completing the procedure, which is equivalent to a commercial contract. Everyone stamps and stamps them on them and completely finalizes all the results.

Zhao Xiu nodded, and he said in a deep voice: "Wan Xi is quite talented and has outstanding talents, which is something I have heard of. This year, I will give you a special sponsorship quota, so I will give you a dismissal... The official position is not high, and the Grain and Grass Department of the Military Transport Hall is still missing the first and sixth rank chief of staff."

Zhao Xiu said calmly with a smile: "This matter is very idle, but it is extremely important. Don't look at the fact that the sixth-rank chief official is not of high rank. At least tens of thousands of grasslands are under his command, and millions of pastoral workers will obey your orders."

With a brow raised, Zhao Xiu said proudly: "The important thing is that no one dares to touch the officials of the military, so you can rest assured."

Zhao Xiu glanced at Wan Hong and Wan Xi with an ecstatic face, and chuckled softly: "Even if he is the lord of a country, unless he personally holds an important position in the military headquarters, he will not even dare to move a 19th-rank official, not to mention the sixth-rank chief."

Wan Hong and Wan Xi were ecstatic and bowed to Zhao Xiu.

After fleeing Zhongshi Kingdom, they were always afraid of revenge from the Lord Zhongshi Kingdom and the Prince.

Now that they rely on Zhao Xiu and take advantage of the military, their lives and wealth have been saved... Although the price they paid was a bit too high, thinking about it, these prices did not belong to them, so although they were a little heartache, they didn't hurt much to the core.

So, there were drinking and chatting on the round table, and Zhao Xiu was a little unrestrained and ate and drank happily with the group.

The other six men on the round table were all the guests around Wan Haoran. To put it bluntly, they were a group of literati who were eating and drinking in Wan Haoran’s mansion. They could not pick their shoulders or hold their hands, but they were proficient in all kinds of elegant and funny things such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They were especially verbal and eloquent, and they set off the atmosphere in the attic to be extremely enthusiastic but not out of the ordinary.

Just as Zhao Xiu was having fun, extremely thin streams of light flew quickly from the southwest of Anyang City and quickly landed in the heavily guarded palaces outside Anyang City.

The next moment, countless iron cavalry roared out and ran towards the city with messengers.

Before these messengers broke into Anyang City, in the palace in the city, the low alarm bell sounded like muffled thunder in the sky, and waves spread throughout Anyang.

Zhao Xiu and Wan Haoran stood up at the same time and looked towards the imperial city with a hint of horror.

This is the alarm bell of the highest level of the Great Jin Divine Kingdom. It is the alarm bell that can only be sounded when facing a full-scale war or when the royal rule is threatened.

The bell was only sounded once six thousand years ago. Anyang City has not heard this highest level alarm bell for six thousand years.

Zhao Xiu and Wan Haoran took out their emergency contact letter from their sleeves at the same time.

But there is no message, no message.

The alarm bell of the highest level in the imperial city has sounded, but they have not received any news yet.

Zhao Xiu took a deep breath and looked at Wan Haoran.

Wan Haoran looked at the seal on Zhao Xiu's hand with a hint of astonishment.

As a noble minister, it is understandable that he is not very informed. A lot of information does not need to be communicated to him at all.

But as the Lord of the Cardinal Hall, Zhao Xiu did not receive any news at this moment... This!

"Sir Zhao Xiu, you should hurry to the imperial city quickly. You are in the military headquarters, and you are not comparable to those of me as idle ministers."

Wan Haoran immediately spoke up to remind Zhao Xiu.

Zhao Xiu nodded solemnly, rolled up his sleeves, and all the rare treasures on the table were covered with his sleeves. Then he sternly looked, shook his body, and brought up several afterimages, and instantly arrived in front of the Tingfeng Pavilion.
Chapter completed!
