Seduction

"I only listen to you? What do I want him to do?" Lu Xian grabbed the wine glass with one hand and slammed it on the table with a bang.

Gu Qing was not surprised but smiled, and said calmly, "Is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's subject on the shore of the land? Since Gu is doing business on the land of Tianguan, he is also a person of Tianguan. Is this general listening to me?" Yes, I still listen to you, is there any essential difference?" Gu Qing smiled and filled Lu Xian with wine.

"To tell you the truth, this general is Gu's only relative. He was stupid since he was a child, and he can only understand Gu's words, but he is brave and good at fighting, and his marksmanship is amazing. If Lu Wang is willing to give it a try, Gu is willing to spend his money in other aspects Help." Gu Qing said slowly, and when she said "other aspects", she raised her eyes and looked at Lu Xian.

The two of them understood each other very well what this other aspect referred to. Lu Xian held the power in his hand, while Gu Qing relied on the money behind him. Since ancient times, the fusion of money and power has released an unstoppable destructive force, that inexplicable pleasure Lu Xian smiled.

"Boss Gu still has such relatives?"

"King Lu laughed." Gu Qing said.

"Your purpose, it's not that simple." Lu Xian shook the wine glass, the white wine shook back and forth but the glass did not overflow.

"Boss Gu might as well just say it straight."

"Lu Wang is wise." Gu Qing smiled, and then said, "Gu Mou is indeed not just to arrange a foolish relative, Gu Mou also has other plans."

When Lu Xian heard this, he became even more interested, "What do you want?"

"All of Gu's family business is in Tianguan. If Tianguan can continue to expand its territory, Gu is very willing to serve the king," Gu Qing said as before, "But I don't know that the king can pay attention to business. The circulation of silver?"

Of course Lu Xian didn't pay attention, but he knew a thing or two about it, so he changed his posture and sat a little away from Gu Qing.

"The government has to charge a tax of five taels of silver for a car, and Gu has thousands of cars at a time. The businessman should plan carefully. In this way, the king will be taxed heavily on Gu."

Lu Xian didn't know that the tax was so high. Gu Qing was telling the truth, but what he was talking about was the tax on smuggled official salt, not the normal rice tax. Lu Xian only knew that Gu Qing had sold rice before, so he knew him well. Rarely, after listening to Gu Qing being so moved, she finished speaking with emotion and reason, and she didn't know how to respond.

"So? What does Boss Gu want? Tax cuts?" Lu Xian asked.

Gu Qing smiled, "As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. Since King Lu can think of reducing taxes for Gu, why not just give someone the ability to reduce taxes by himself."

Lu Xian was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood Gu Qing's words. This has been the case in power and money transactions since ancient times. The two parties cooperate and each gets what he needs. Trap, Gu Qing's being so open and honest made him feel more at ease.

What Lu Xian cares about is not the generals who can fight, but Gu Qing who holds the economic lifeline of Jiangnan, Central Plains and even the entire Tianguan.

"If you provide me enough silver, I will give you everything you want."

"King Lu is really smart." Gu Qing bowed slightly, "If my relative can come back alive, I hope that the king can confer a title according to his military merits." Gu Qing smiled with satisfaction, "Although Gu is inconvenient to enter the court, but He can, if he is here, Gu will be here."

Lu Xian couldn't help laughing, "I heard that businessmen don't trade at a loss, Mr. Gu is really shrewd."

Gu Qing lowered her head, "Prince Lu, thank you." After the voice fell, the knuckles of her hands and fingers tapped lightly on the corner of the table twice.

Lu Xian immediately became vigilant.

"What are you doing!"

"Introduce my stupid relative for King Lu." After finishing speaking, Dong Zhi walked over with something covered in red silk, knelt down beside Gu Qing, "Master, here we come."

Gu Qing nodded, and lifted the red cloth little by little with her hands, a ferocious Shura mask was just under the red cloth.

Lu Xian frowned, startled by the mask,

"what do you mean?"

"My silly relative doesn't know how to communicate with people, and he never talks to others, and he has sores on his face, which is very scary. Let him wear this mask from now on. In ancient times, King Lanling was extremely beautiful and hid his face , Gu feels ashamed today, and wants to follow suit."

Lu Xian just stared at the mask but didn't speak.

After a long time, he opened his mouth and asked:

"What's his name?"

"No name." Gu Qing said, "The title of Ghost-faced General is enough." He smiled.

It was snowing heavily in the city, but the villages outside the city were still sunny.

Piaoyao squatted on the ground, fanned the fan again and again, and fanned the smell of the medicine to himself with his hands, feeling that it was not time to get through it, so he fanned the fan again in boredom.

"I don't know, is it snowing on the other side of Wangyao?" Piao Yao said to himself, but the spear king who didn't know when stood behind him heard it all.

"The first lad to come?" asked the gun king.

Fluttering was startled, the fan was almost thrown into the firewood pile.

"Master." There was a slight complaint in Piaoyao's tone, "Next time you come here, please greet your apprentice first."

"Hmph, it's been a day, I think you're restless, did I catch the wrong medicine?" Gun King said and opened the lid of the pot, "It's hot, Master!" Before Piao Yao stepped forward to stop it, The gun king had already let go, the lid fell back on the pot, and turned up and down several times before stopping

He squatted down precariously and aggrieved, as if he didn't really want to talk to the gun king, he just muttered softly, "I'll smell it if I catch it wrong."

Gun King couldn't bear to see him like that, so he sat down in front of him.

"Why don't you go find him, Gu Chengyuan's family has plenty of room for you."

"I, what am I going to do?" Piao Yao turned her head away, only staring at the medicine.

"Become someone's daughter-in-law."

"Master!" Only then did Piao Yao raise her head, walked over and stuffed the fan into Gun King's hand, "You can fan yourself." Then she went out with the medicine basket on her back.

"This kid." Gun King looked at the fan in his hand and shook his head. His precarious face was very thin, and he would not raise his head after a few words from people he didn't know well. If he had known him for a long time, he would show some temper. Wang simply went over to fan himself, and sat there only to realize that the medicine had already boiled, and he didn't bother to leave, so he just sat there and waited for the medicine to cool.

Just after sending away the end Yan who had been with him for most of his life, the old spear king also felt empty in his heart, remembering that the two most cherished guns in his life were all given to the Gu family.

"We should let Huaifeng take that stinky boy with him. You are too thin-skinned." The gun king played with the fan in his hand, and with one move, he lowered the fan, and the fire on the firewood suddenly went out.

Speaking of Hou Chengfeng Gu Huaifeng, he should be the most shameless person the Gun King has ever met in his life. If he insisted on pestering him to learn his craft, he would also take his gun with him.

The reason why the gun king is called the gun king is not only that he can make a good gun that can pierce everything with one hand, but more importantly, he can use the gun superbly. The gun in his hand seems to have his own soul. Feng Hou got the news from nowhere, knowing that the old gun master was good at using a gun, but he never taught his students, so he brought a wooden stick to find it by himself.

Hou Chengfeng didn't understand Chengmen Lixue, but he understood how to be so shameless.

At that time, Piaoyao was still young, and his eyes had just been healed. Every time he saw Chengfeng Hou coming, he would cry and run into the house.

The King of Spears is old and boned, and he has taught Hou Chengfeng the spear for four or five years, but he has never heard Hou Chengfeng call him master.

"Old man," Hou Chengfeng was only sixteen or seventeen years old, with a handsome look on his brows, and impolitely pressed the gun king against the wall with both hands.

As soon as Pian Yao came out, she was so frightened that the medicine bowl in her hand dropped.

"Don't think about it, little one." Chengfenghou turned his head and smiled at Piaoyao, then turned to look at Gun King, "I want your gun." He glanced at the one standing among all the weapons "Punish God".

"Just you?" The old gun king disdainful, although short in stature, he struck quickly and powerfully, and punched Hou Chengfeng in the abdomen. Inadvertently, the spear king's palm was like a blade, and stopped at Chengfenghou's Adam's apple with the wind.

Hou Chengfeng swallowed his saliva.

"Don't be serious, don't be serious." He laughed quickly, took half a step back, and let the old gun king go out by himself.

The gun king sat down and asked him "what do you want it for?"

"Fight, I want to join the army."

"Hmph, join the army. What are you doing? Want to be a general?"

Hou Chengfeng tilted his head, "It doesn't matter if you become a general or not, it's best if you can be one," he said, "I've learned all the skills, so I should defend my family and the country."

The gun king disdainfully said, "Once you are successful, you will die. Dead people are not worthy of using such a good gun."

"How do you know that I must be sent to die, what if I am the general." Cheng Fenghou still refused to give up, "I have no parents, no wife, no worries, people like me are the most suitable Go to war, even if you die, it won't affect anyone."

Gun King looked sideways at him, suddenly feeling a little sad in his heart.

"Lend it to me. If I die, you can go to the battlefield and pick it up for him. If I come back, it will prove that I have those skills, so you can give it to me. Will it work?" Answering, Cheng Fenghou said again, "One day I will become a great general, and I will change you to a big house so that you can enjoy family happiness with that little bastard who cries when he sees me."

Gun King didn't answer, and after a long time, he raised his hand and knocked Cheng Fenghou on the head.

"Stinky boy."

Hou Chengfeng laughed loudly, and walked over to pull God Zhu up, "What is the fate of this gun?"

"Kill." Said the gun king.

"It's exactly what I want." Cheng Fenghou said, "I know you're still hiding for a while, and when I have made military achievements, I'll come back and invite you."

"It's just you, it's far away, hurry up!"

Zhushen was taken away, and the gun king looked a little angry.

Hou Chengfeng laughed loudly, ran out three steps at a time, and stopped suddenly when he reached the door.

The smile on his face gradually disappeared.

The gun king's anger gradually dissipated.

The two were separated by an empty room, and the dust was floating freely, as if time had stood still.

Hou Chengfeng turned his head and bowed deeply to the Gun King.

"The apprentice is gone, Master."
