Seduction

Gu Qing was called out by Lu Wangyao, and then she came back to her senses a little bit, nodded vaguely and said, "I seem to have seen it."

Seeing the car go away, Lu Wangyao patted the ashes on his body and stood up, "Unfortunately, he must not see us. You said that he is not related to you, why does he keep giving you things?"

Gu Qing still shook her head, "I don't know." Feeling a little silent in her heart, the Grand Tutor patted Gu Qing from behind and supported her waist with one hand. Gu Qing immediately recovered and supported the Grand Tutor.

"What's wrong?" Taifu asked Gu Qing, but Gu Qing shook her head and didn't say anything.

After walking for a while, Gu Qing suddenly said, "I really want to thank him."

Tai Fu looked sideways at Gu Qing and smiled slightly, "Then when you are capable in the future, give him some gifts as well. Just let him know that you are doing well."

Gu Qing nodded and said nothing all the way.

Memories of the past are always sad and unstoppable. Gu Qing picks up the pen and puts it down again, writing on and off on the paper. How can half a piece of letter paper describe the words in my heart for ten years?

For many years, Gu Qing has been thinking about this question, what should be done so that Zhan Xingruo can see him, so that Zhan Xingruo's eyes can only stay on him like in the cell that day. According to the Taifu's words, Zhan Xingruo began to give gifts to Zhan Xingruo, but Zhan Xingruo at the other end of the years didn't know who this Boss Gu who was far away in Tianguan was, and why he didn't recognize him, so he always gave expensive gifts to him. he.

Gu Qing would feel at ease as long as the gift was delivered, he didn't care if Zhan Xingruo would accept it or not.

A while ago, Lu Wangyao told him that if Zhan Xingruo didn't want any more gifts from him, and he didn't want to go against Zhan Xingruo's wishes, he wrote a letter after thinking about it.

Just at this moment, the guard at the door suddenly rushed in.

"Master, ahead, ahead,"

Gu Qing turned her head, "Don't worry, just speak slowly."

The guard took a breath, "King Lu sent a lot of people in front of the gate, saying they want to take you to the palace."

"Pick me up to the palace?"

The guard nodded, "I said that the master didn't make an appointment in advance, and they couldn't call as soon as they said, so they insisted on barging in. I couldn't stop them, so they came here."

Gu Qing sighed lightly and nodded.

"Don't blame you, tell them, I will change clothes a little bit, please wait a moment."

The guard nodded and went out, Gu Qing put down his pen, as expected, the stable days had not passed for a few days, Lu Xian couldn't hold back anymore, the letter to Zhan Xingruo was not finished yet, luckily forget it.Gu Qing stood up and tidied up her clothes before going out.

As soon as Gu Qing stepped out of the Gu residence, she was invited into Lu Xian's car by officers and soldiers.

"Be safe, Mr. Gu." Lu Xian's smile had a hint of evil, the thick tassels outside the car window left a swaying shadow on the curtains, Gu Qing smiled, "You too."

King Lu raised the corners of his mouth and moved his body forward. Because he was sitting opposite Gu Qing, the space in the car seemed extremely small.

"I don't know, the sudden visit of the widow has disturbed Mr. Gu?"

Lu Xian's body forced her towards her, but Gu Qing didn't show any sign of backing down. She still smiled and said politely, "What's the matter with your Majesty, it's a great honor for you to come to the humble house."

"Hmph," Lu Xian smiled softly, leaning against the soft back cushion again.

"Master Gu didn't ask me, why did he ask you?" Lu Xian asked again.

Gu Qing lowered her head slightly, "Gu will do whatever the king wants Gu to do. Since Gu doesn't intend to resist, there is no need to ask."

Lu Xian tilted his head and looked at Gu Qing carefully.

"I invited Mr. Gu to come to thank Mr. Gu. You are willing to support me. I am grateful."

Gu Qing was calm, "Your Majesty's words are serious, and Gu also has something to ask of His Majesty."

Lu Xian smiled, "Of course, it's not just as simple as having a meal when I come to Mr. Gu." Lu Xian lowered her voice and said, "A few days ago, Yuezhu sent someone to send me a batch of valuable food. Gift."

Gu Qing just listened and didn't react.

"What are you talking about, the first emperor's covenant, every year to pay tribute to Tianguan, this year because of the chaos in the border, so the delivery is late." Lu Xian said thoughtfully, "I also asked those old officials, but there is no tribute. One thing, and the time is basically around this month, so I have a question to ask Boss Gu."

"Please speak, Your Majesty," Gu Qing said.

"I heard that there is a severe drought in Yuezhu and chaos in the frontier. If natural disasters and man-made disasters are added to the body, how can it have the time to send these things to me?"

Gu Qing's eyes moved slightly, and Lu Xian continued, "Could it be that you want to tell the widow that they are already prepared?"

Gu Qing lowered her head, "Questions like your Majesty's are really beyond Gu's ability."

Lu Xian raised his head and smiled, "Not necessarily, Boss Gu just needs to answer one question." Lu Xian leaned closer to Gu Qing again and asked, "I want to know where the silver in Yuezhu is going?"

Gu Qing smiled slightly, "All the silver in Yuezhu flows to Gu, does Your Majesty want to ask this?"

"I heard that Yuezhu once bought low-priced rice from Jiangnan from you. Boss Gu, is there such a thing?"

Gu Qing smiled unexpectedly, with a tone of sarcasm in her tone, "Who did the king listen to to ask Gu such a question?" The aggressiveness made Lu Xian lean back unconsciously.

"Gu is just a businessman who only recognizes money. A businessman doesn't do business at a loss, let alone me. The demand for Yuezhu is so huge, how could Gu miss this opportunity?" Gu Qing said, "Let the Jiangnan rice first If the price drops, Gu will make another purchase, and finally sell it to Yuezhu at the original price. If Gu wants to sell Yuezhu as a favor, but doesn't want to eat less of this fat, then he can only start from Jiangnan."

"If it's true what Boss Gu said, then Yuezhu bought so much rice from you at the original price?"

"It's true that there is a severe drought in Yuezhu, but Gu feels that based on the things Yuezhu bought from me this year, it's not that their treasury is empty. Most of the precious spices in Gu's hands have been sold to Yuezhu. , I don’t think a country with an empty treasury can have spare money to buy spices from the Western Regions.”

After Gu Qing finished speaking, Lu Xian nodded, "Then according to Master Gu, should I fight this battle now?" Lu Xian asked leisurely.

"Gu Mou thinks it's not the time yet." Gu Qing said.

Gu Qing never really wanted to help Lu Xian, so what she said was of course half-truths and half-false, Yuezhu's economy was so weak, how could she have the money to buy spices from him, most of those expensive spices were still sold to Jiangnan, but Lu Xian always liked There was very little concern about this aspect, coupled with Gu Qing's calm demeanor, and his unhurried speech did not arouse Lu Xian's suspicion.

But Lu Xian is not stupid after all, even if Gu Qing explained to him the purpose of helping him, he still guards against Gu Qing.

Lu Xian smiled, "That's really a coincidence, Master Gu. I've already dispatched troops."

Gu Qing glanced at him sideways, the surprise in her eyes was fleeting, "Since Your Majesty has other arrangements, why bother with Gu."

Lu Xian was a little complacent, and said, "Of course I have to ask. I have a huge army now, and I have no leader. I am just waiting for the ghost-faced general of Master Gu's family. If it is true as Master Gu said, every battle is victorious, and I will definitely be rewarded."

Gu Qing smiled slightly and said, "That's a deal."

Lu Xian nodded, "Get up the sedan chair." He said.

The vegetation in the south of the Yangtze River has recovered, but the snow in Yuezhu has just begun to melt. There are a few sporadic greens in the sky and the earth, but it is still muddy. Zhan Xingruo has been leaning over the desk and writing, and Wuzheng took a shawl to cover him superior.

"This snow melting day is colder than snow, you should pay more attention."

Zhan Xingruo looked at him sideways and smiled slightly, "No problem." He said, "I have received news that Lu Xian has already started deploying troops, but for this war, the emperor has given full power to Zhang Taiwei, the general who leads the troops They are all his henchmen, that's for sure." Zhan Xingruo stopped writing, handed what he had written to Wuzheng, and coughed slightly, it may be due to the hard work of days, coupled with the change of seasons, hot and cold, Zhan Xingruo's The body is a bit overwhelmed.

Wuzheng stroked Zhan Xingruo's back with his hand a few times, "A Li, let's rest."

Zhan Xingruo didn't speak, but just waved his hand, motioning for Wuzheng to look at the roster.

"Some of these people were originally in Beijing, and some were transferred from the northwest frontier," Zhan Xingruo said.

"Especially these two people." Wu Zheng put down the paper, Zhan Xingruo pointed with his finger, "Kong Fuyi and Chen Jiang."

Wu Zheng frowned, "I know that these two people are my generals, after Cheng Feng Hou, two rare strong generals."

"Yes, Kong Fuyi has been following Zhang Jiyao. When Zhang Jiyao was in the frontier, he was Zhang Jiyao's deputy general. Now that Zhang Jiyao has become a captain, he has also been named a general. This time Kong Fuyi took the initiative to ask the emperor for orders to guard the moon. Nagisa."

Wu Zheng nodded, "What do you mean?"

"I don't think things are that simple. You see, Chen Jiang is away all year round and rarely returns to the capital. I sent someone to check on Chen Jiang. He neither embezzled silver nor had too many contacts with Zhang Ji. He is very popular in the army. He has his own Chen family army. In terms of combat effectiveness, it should be comparable to the imperial army. After the death of Chengfenghou, the border has been in turmoil for several years. Thanks to him, we have been able to have these years of peace." Zhan Xingruo Said.

"I remember that he is about my age. I have met him a few times, but it was many years ago. He has never returned to court for so many years. What does Zhang Jiyao mean?"

Zhan Xingruo shook his head, "It's because Chen Jiangyuan is far away from the border and knows little about the affairs of the court. He only recognizes imperial edicts and tiger charms. Since he is protecting Yuezhu, he is of course obliged to do so."

"I'm only afraid of one thing." Zhan Xingruo frowned, "If Zhang Jiyao didn't intend to protect Yuezhu, or if he didn't intend to protect the emperor, then he would transfer Chen Jiang back, and things would go bad."
