Seduction

"But we... the government and businessmen..." Lu Wangyao was a little embarrassed, "Is Lu Xian really so nice to meet?"

Gu Qing knew what he was thinking, nodded with a smile, and said, "Don't forget, there is also the collusion between government and businessmen."

"No, he is the new emperor. He is arrogant all day long. How can you guarantee that he will be willing to see you." Lu Wangyao was still worried, and asked again.

Gu Qing seemed to have said too much at once, coughing uncontrollably, Lu Wangyao hurried over to pat him on the back.

"Brother love, can you do this...?"

"It's okay." Gu waved his hand, clenched the other hand into a fist and put it next to his mouth, coughing softly while talking, "Lu Xian, he will definitely meet me, he doesn't like Shang, because we are running around, which is the most unfavorable His management. But he won't get in trouble with gold and silver." Gu Qing looked at Lu Wangyao, "In today's world, seeing me is equivalent to seeing endless wealth, understand?"

Lu Wangyao subconsciously leaned back slightly, nodded again and again, "Understood, I understand." He said and brought Gu Qing's clothes over, "Brother Qing, do you want me to help you change?"

Gu Qing couldn't help laughing, "That's unnecessary."

Lu Wangyao nodded, "Then I'll go out to do some errands." After saying that, he got up and left.Over the years, what impressed Gu Qing the most, except for Lu Wangyao's occasional incongruity, was mostly his swiftness in handling things.

When they were young, the two lived together with the Taifu. Lu Wangyao planned to play tricks on the Taifu. It was one set after another. Whenever he had an idea, he would do it. Gu Qing was also an accomplice for a while when he was a child, but Lu Wangyao Yao never confessed him, and he was scolded by the Taifu alone. Fortunately, the Taifu couldn't hit him because he was flexible.

Probably because of sitting for too long, Gu Qing felt a little dizzy, and lay down again helplessly. For some reason, he thought of Cheng Fenghou. Although he said he was in Tianguan, he was from Yuezhu after all. The land where he was raised was Yuezhu, and the "Xiaoxiao heroic blood" that Chengfenghou showed him was all shed to protect Yuezhu.

Even the Marquis of Chengfeng back then.

Gu Qing closed her eyes, forced herself not to think about it, and ruthlessly stomped out the memory of Cheng Feng Hou, without any flame or temperature.The dizziness gradually faded away, but my heart felt a little dull.Gu Qing sat up and wrote a letter to Zhan Xingruo without doing anything else.

"Come." He called, and the maid in front of the door lowered her head and replied, "Master."

"Call the butler here, it's hard work." He didn't dare to speak loudly, but ordered softly. The maid has been in the Gu mansion for many years. Although she is used to seeing the master sick, she can't rest when she is sick. On the contrary, she has worked so hard, and she feels a little distressed in her heart. Well, even when these servants were not feeling well, the master resolutely refused to let them work, and even went to visit them in person.The maids in Gu's mansion basically don't have to do any heavy work. Master Gu once said that it is normal for girls to love beauty at a young age, so they are allowed to bring their favorite hairpins, go out occasionally to run business, and return them to the maids when they come back. If you bring some beautiful accessories, it will inevitably make the little girls spring up.

The maid couldn't help it, so she muttered softly, "Master, you should pay more attention to your body, how can you be like this..."

Although Gu Qing's voice is not very good, but her ears are still very good. When she heard the maid's words, she looked sideways at her and smiled, "I made you worry."

The maid blushed, and hurriedly stepped back to do business.

Gu Qing sighed softly, as if he couldn't get along with girls like this, sooner or later something would go wrong, it was just common courtesy, at this moment he thought of Zhan Xingruo who was in his house that night, if one day he could see It would be great if Zhan Xing blushed because of such ordinary politeness.

He shook his head, smiled wryly, picked up his pen and continued writing.

After a while, the butler arrived.

Gu Qing hurriedly got up to greet him, "Uncle Wang." He felt very sorry when he saw the old housekeeper trotting over.

"Oh," the housekeeper waved his hand, "Master, you don't need to be too polite. Sit down, sit down, you're still sick."

While talking, the old housekeeper picked up the clothes that Lu Wangyao threw on Gu Qing's bed, and covered Gu Qing.

This butler was Chengfeng Hou's butler back then, and he managed the huge Gu Mansion by himself.Originally, after Gu Qing was adopted by the Taifu, the butler disappeared. Gu Qing thought he was burned to death by the fire, but when Gu Qing re-established the Gu Mansion in Tianguan, the old butler came to him .

The old housekeeper recognized San'er's appearance. He and San'er went shopping together that day. When they came back, they saw the Gu's mansion was on fire, so they split up to look for it. In the end, they only saw San'er's body covered in Gu Qing's clothes. He recognized San'er, and even more recognized Gu Qing, and could tell at a glance that the one who died was not the real Young Master.

Years of searching, but never found Gu Qing.

It wasn't until Gu Qingyuan left Tianguan, causing a big storm in the business world, and Master Gu's reputation spread far away in an instant, that the old housekeeper ventured over to look for it. Unexpectedly, it was really that little Gu Qing from back then.

In Gu Qing's heart, the butler is the only link between him and the past.

When we arrived at Xin Gu's Mansion, the housekeeper was also conscientious and helped Gu Qing take care of everything.

"Uncle Wang, Yuezhu's situation is very dangerous now."

The butler nodded, "I know, the soldiers from Tianguan should be arriving soon, I guess noon at the latest."

"We have to hold back Lu Xian. I'll send Yuezhu a letter right now to get them ready."

"Then, what does the master want to do?"

"It's too obvious that we can't transport rice from Jiangnan to Yuezhu."

"What does the master mean?"

"Gu's mansion is here to act as a shield." Gu Qing firmly said, that gaze made the old butler seem to see the young Chengfeng Hou many years ago, unquestionable, irrefutable, with a strong aura, the old butler felt back then that it was really true Since ancient times, heroes have been born in youth, and today it is even more lamented that the tiger father has no dogs, and the ancients are sincere and do not deceive us.

"If the convoy wants to go from Jiangnan to Yuezhu, the distance is too long, there are too many people, the target is too big and easy to be discovered, and the time is tight, so send people right now to transport food from Gu's mansion to Yuezhu." Gu Qing said, "We The caravan and the caravan that have already passed the Central Plains, rushing to Yuezhu, should relieve them for a while. As for the rice that is still in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be transported directly to Gu's mansion without Lu Xian intercepting it from the middle. Opportunity."

"Master, if you really do this, you're not making it clear that you're against Lu Xian." The old butler asked worriedly.

"It's not entirely true. If I don't expect it, it's the Jiangnan admiral who leaked the news. He wants to be an official in the palace. What the Jiangnan admiral has been lacking for all these years is not money, but power. This time, Yuezhu is in trouble, and it is he. It’s a good time to jump over the dragon’s gate.”

"Even so," the old housekeeper was still puzzled, and Gu Qing explained, "Because of this, we and he can both fight for this opportunity that Lu Xian values. Talk about a condition."

The old butler opened his eyes slightly, as if he understood what Gu Qing meant, but he didn't seem to understand it completely.

"Admiral Jiangnan is focusing on the matter of transporting grain to Yuezhu at a low price. If we pretend that the low-priced rice from Jiangnan is transported to the Gu Mansion first, and then the Gu Mansion sells it at a high price, then the nature of the matter will change. Gu Qing explained, "From Yuezhu having no money to buy food, to Yuezhu having money to buy food, from us helping disaster relief, to making profit from the price difference. The thing that submitted the report to Lu Xian is not valid."

The old housekeeper suddenly understood a little bit, and nodded, "But, master, how can we win the opportunity to be valued by Lu Xian? Since ancient times, there has been no balance between government and business, and Lu Xian hates businessmen the most."

"That's natural," Gu Qing nodded and said, "Of course he hates us if he can't control us."

"The drought in Yuezhu has been so long, and Lu Xian must have heard about it. He just doesn't know the specific situation in Yuezhu, and he dare not raise troops easily. Buying rice outside, sooner or later there will be a war." Gu Qing said, "Whether you can win or not depends on whether the silver in Yuezhu can keep up. I want to know the current silver situation in Yuezhu. The best way is to Isn't it me who is trading with Yuezhu?"

The butler suddenly realized and nodded.

"I have asked Wang Yao to help me meet Lu Xian. He will definitely meet me. There will be a battle between Yuezhu and Tianguan, but the key is who will lead the troops to fight."

The housekeeper heard some clues, and asked softly, "What does the master mean... Could it be..."

Gu Qing nodded.

The room suddenly fell silent, Gu Qing saw An Shenxiang rising straight up, and then said, "We cut off Admiral Jiangnan's wishful thinking, and grabbed the opportunity to be reused by Lu Xian before him, and Lu Xian is now empty in the court. , there is no one who supports him, and most of the veterans left by his father are not very flexible, and obstruct Lu Xian everywhere. If I stand by his side, he will have unlimited military pay and unlimited food. On the contrary, I It will also gain some control over the war."

The housekeeper also let out a soft sigh.

"Master," the butler didn't know how to express the emotion in his heart. He just opened his muddy eyes and stared deeply at Gu Qing. He couldn't help but think of the appearance of Cheng Feng Hou. Feng Hou, no different.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Gu Qing bowed.

The old butler nodded, "I understand. I'll do it right away." Yin Luo turned and left.

Gu Qing sat for a long time, and felt an unbearable dizziness and nausea again. Seeing this, the maid hurriedly stepped forward, and Gu Qing waved her hand, "Don't bother, I'm fine." He spoke very hard, but the pen in his hand Without stopping, after finishing writing, he put the letter into an envelope with gilded Gu characters. After thinking about it, whether it was Feige or the housekeeper, it was too obvious. This letter must not be robbed by others. Just in case, Gu Qing tore off the gilded envelope, asked the maid to take an envelope that they often used to write family letters, and added an extra piece of paper in front of the text, writing, "Long time no see, I really miss it. Attached a letter."

Then I thought of someone, and immediately said to the maid, "Please run over and find Dongzhi."
