When Bian Cheng just slipped into this tent, the gangsters outside were inseparable from those masters from the Central Plains.Liu Guanqing glared angrily and drew his sword to strike.Before Bian Chenggang could speak, Wu Yao, who was disheveled behind Liu Guanqing, suddenly made a sneak attack and stabbed Liu Guanqing unconscious.

Bian Chenggang slashed at Liu Guanqing's neck with a fierce look in his eyes.

Xie Wuyao stood in the middle, and said in a low voice, "Do you still want the Qingsi sword?"

"..." Bian Chenggang's hand paused for a moment. Did he not chop it off? He sneered, "If you don't kill him, will you give me the Green Silk Sword?"

Xie Wuyao tore off a corner of his shirt.

Bian Chenggang showed suspicion, and said sarcastically, "You can't beat me, so you don't have to seduce me like this."

Xie Wuyao said in his heart that it really is the three views of Tanmei sadism. When a man sees a man undressing, can't he not think in a wrong way?He turned around, revealing his back covered with old and new scars, Bian Cheng just took a look, and quickly wrapped up his clothes.All the movements were fast, and the whole body was on guard against Bian Chenggang's sneak attack, but his face showed a miserable routine: "It's not to seduce you, but to show you that my life in Xie's mansion and Liu's house is not good. I have endured it for so many years, I finally got the chance to leave Nanchao, this time I will definitely make a big vote, and make them all regret it. I thought that what I could do was exactly what your Demon Cult needed."

Bian Chenggang likes beautiful boys, especially those who are weak and have a sad tone.Wu Yao's body was injured, and his thin but well-proportioned body was between a teenager and a young man. Although it was just a hasty flash, his eyes were straightened, and he lost his initial clarity. He hesitated and said: "You Tell me, what can you do for us?"

"The mission from the Southern Dynasties to the North Kingdom is definitely not a gift. You also want to know what kind of medicine they sell in the gourd. As Liu Guanqing's servant, I know many people in the mission. The information I get here must be more expensive than you. It’s more true to try to inquire about it.”

"What are your conditions?"

"You can't kill Liu Guanqing now. They poisoned me, and I need an antidote. If Liu Guanqing is dead, I can't live."

Bian Chenggang deliberately questioned: "What does your life and death have to do with me?"

"There are so many gifts in the mission. If you don't control everyone, it is difficult to find the Qingsi sword one by one. And I am a servant of the Xie Mansion, and I was sent by the master to find something. At least the people in the mission Few people will doubt, and there is a great deal of confidence in getting that sword." When Xie Wuyao said these words, he raised his chest and raised his head, and his aura was full, it was by no means a low-key and humble gesture at ordinary times, but a kind of kindness between Party A and Party B. the strength of

"And you seem to know my mother. Let me guess. Could it be that my own father is a member of the Demon Cult? In this case, there is a certain degree of trust and a basis for cooperation between you and me. If I betray the Southern Dynasty, only I joined the religion to seek a chance to survive. At that time, I took the sword and offered it to you, and bought you to protect me in the religion in the future. This is something that benefits both you and me, right?"

For a moment, Bian Cheng seemed to see the shadow of the leader Jiang Miao on Wu Yao's body, and said in a daze, "Why should I believe that your news is true?"

"If I lie to you, what good will it do me? If I don't have your cooperation, how can I steal the Qingsi sword in the future? The sword is in the gift of the mission, but it is hidden very deep. Now I am also looking for information." Pretending to be The waistband of Qingsi Sword was tied on Xie Wuyao's body at this time, but he was confident when he lied.

Xie Wuyao said one thing after another, so Liu Guanqing, who was pretending to be unconscious, could hardly hold back.

"Zhou Changhe and they are approaching, you go first. When the northerners send an official reception mission, your people can get in with it. You leave me a code for the connection, and I will tell you when I have new news."

Bian Chenggang uttered a code word for the Devil's Cult. Xie Wuyao had read it in a book before, and remembered it just once.Bian Chenggang was even more amazed that no medicine is not only excellent in martial arts, but also smart in mind, and he never forgets it.

Bian Chenggang originally sneaked here, intending to take Wu Yao away, or kill Liu Guanqing and brainwash Wu Yao, but he was fooled by Wu Yao, who was not killed, and he left full of joy.This can be regarded as a model of being obsessed with sex.Xie Wuyao sighed, no wonder the Demon Cult was kicked out of the Central Plains back then, the backbones of the Cult were so easy to deceive.

Waiting for Bian Cheng to go far away, Liu Guanqing asked full of doubts: "Wu Yao, your biological father is not really a member of the Demon Cult, right?"

Xie Wuyao said with a smile: "Liu Shaoxia, if that was the case, I would have run away with the green silk sword. Although the master didn't tell me clearly, I have secretly checked it myself over the years, and I roughly have the answer to who my real father is. .Now you are fooling Bian Chenggang in order to win the trust of the Demon Sect. If you also doubt me, then I really... can't argue with it."

"But your demeanor, tone, and words just now are so true, I believe it to a certain extent."

"The master called me back on the first day of the Lunar New Year. He not only punished me, but also told me about my future plans. Including matters related to the Green Silk Sword and the Devil's Cult, he will also cooperate with him to make the Devil's Cult people believe in my background. , so that it will be convenient to plant it on the Demon Cult in the future."

Xie Wuyao said frankly, "The demon sect ravaged the Central Plains and committed countless bloody crimes, and now it is helping the northerners to kill my Southern Dynasty prince, swallow my Southern Dynasty land and harm the Central Plains martial arts. How can I join forces with such ambitious people? My own father is really a member of the Devil's Cult, and my mother must have been forced to suffer bullying back then, I don't need to recognize such a father. Anyway, I will not let down the cultivation and trust of my master."

"Wuyao, you...why do you trust your master so much? He used your mother's and Qianshuang's poison to contain you, and has been so harsh on you for so many years. If it were me, I might not be able to hold on long ago." Liu Guanqing sighed.

Xie Wuyao said: "If the master is really a treacherous and evil person, how can he patiently teach me martial arts, let me know how to distinguish right from wrong, explain various plans to me, and give me these opportunities to make achievements? Seeing the people in the Southern Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment, how can I see With the two countries no longer fighting, even if I have scars and blood on my hands, I will still have a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. The master often says that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. If you are successful, you will benefit the world, and you can't always think about yourself. The family and the country are broken and the nest is overwhelmed, and there are eggs. When a man is born in this world, he must do his best, and he must not bury his talent.

If I want to hang around incognito, there are plenty of opportunities to escape.Now I choose to continue to complete the task because I know that this matter can affect the life and death of more people, and it is related to the current situation of the two countries.If I can succeed, the two countries may cease fighting for more than ten years, how many lives can be saved?The border trade and shipping between the two countries can really be opened up. The northern country trades medicinal materials and skins for the food and silk of the southern dynasty. "

"But who in the upper class doesn't want to expand the territory?" Liu Guanqing doesn't know much about current affairs, and her understanding of the economy is only at the level of small business transactions, and she doesn't understand the role of the economy as deeply as modern people.

Xie Wuyao knew that he could not directly instill advanced ideas. After all, the ancients had limited acceptance of saying that the economy changed people's consciousness and three views.He picked up what Liu Guanqing could understand and said: "Not all the superiors think that way. At least the new emperor of the Northern Kingdom and our Crown Prince are different from their parents. So get rid of those stubborn and old-fashioned people who obstruct the plan as soon as possible." For example, the Empress Dowager Chunyi, it is imperative. The two countries are not the only way to go to war."

"If the new emperor of the Northern Kingdom does not have the Empress Dowager Chunyi, it will take a long time to gather the military forces. We just take the crown prince back and take this opportunity to recuperate, right?" Liu Guanqing seems to understand, but she has already grasped some key points.

"It can be understood in this way, and the conditions of credentials sent by the new emperor mentioned the opening of border trade and shipping, which shows that he actually cares about people's livelihood, and he doesn't just want to go south to grab a ticket and leave." Xie Wuyao said a little Inspired Liu Guanqing.

"Then how do you know His Highness the Crown Prince's thoughts? He went to the North Kingdom as a hostage at such a young age, and he might be bullied and wronged. Don't you hate the people of the North Kingdom when you return to China?"

"I have accompanied His Highness the Crown Prince in the East Palace, he is very nice, and he has the temperament of a wise gentleman more than today." Xie Wuyao had a gentle smile on his face.

"Do you know His Highness the Crown Prince?" Liu Guanqing asked curiously.

Xie Wuyao explained the plot of the original book: "Well. That year, His Highness the Crown Prince was not yet 11 years old, and when he learned that he was going to the North Kingdom as a hostage, he was terrified and had nightmares. The master let me enter the palace to relieve His Highness the Crown Prince. Duan At that time, my father-in-law was in charge of training the servants of the Eastern Palace, and he was also strict with me. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't like me being beaten twice in three days, so he was quite protective."

"Does that Eunuch Duan have any grudge against you? This time too, he brought that kind of whip to punish you." Liu Guanqing clenched her fist slightly, aggrieved.

Xie Wuyao sighed, and explained seriously: "Eunuch Duan and I shouldn't have any enmity. The person he admires the most is my master. The master's likes and dislikes are naturally his likes and dislikes. The whip may not be Duan Father-in-law's own.

Back then when I was sent to the East Palace, I didn't have a serious status.There are strict rules in the palace, and outsiders can’t be put in at will. At that time, I was sixteen or seventeen years old and I was not a servant, so I locked my hands and feet in shackles and locked them in a cage as a thing that could be beaten and scolded by anyone at will. That's all.

The master also took this opportunity to hone my disposition, to see if I am well-behaved and docile... His Royal Highness, however, did not despise my low status and filthy body, ordered someone to heal my wounds, and gave me clothes so that I would not have to sleep in a cage.Eunuch Duan knew that I knew martial arts, so he insisted not to let go of the shackles, and he obeyed His Highness the Crown Prince for everything else. "

Liu Guanqing's eyes were slightly red, and she tremblingly said: "They humiliated you like this."

Xie Wuyao naturally didn't personally experience this kind of torture, but he said calmly: "It's all in the past. Anyway, let me get acquainted with His Highness the Crown Prince, which broadened my horizons and gained a lot of insight."

Liu Guanqing's heart ached, she had no clothes, clothes, chains and chains, but she was so open-minded, she didn't feel sorry for herself when she was treated unfairly, she just wanted to get a chance to broaden her horizons, which is really admirable.

"...During that time, His Royal Highness often had nightmares and woke up in the middle of the night. He would let me kneel beside his bed and listen to him. He didn't know that I could understand, but he didn't dare to let others know too much. He just needs someone to listen.

What he talked about was the difference between political views and today's. At that time, he thought about opening up border trade, using business transactions to earn money from the northerners, and weakening their desire to kill.He also said that if the people of the northern kingdom had formal channels and could exchange cattle, sheep and medicinal materials with the southern dynasty for food, cloth, silk and exquisite utensils fairly, they would raise less war horses and more cattle and sheep, and the young and strong would go to the mountains to hunt or collect medicinal materials. No one has the time to train soldiers.

We in the Southern Dynasties had a large population, a vast land, a warm and humid climate, high grain output, and developed handicrafts. We were more than self-sufficient, and the remaining products could only be sold at a low price in the country.But if it is sold to the North Country, it can be exchanged for more money, and the common people will have more livelihoods at that time, and they can still work in workshops without farming the land, and still support their families. "

Liu Guanqing has been living in the south of the Yangtze River, and Hangzhou is not a small city.There are a large number of workshops in the city and surrounding villages and towns, employing young and strong workers, and the output of the workshops is varied, among which are the common workshops of printing and dyeing cloth processing raw silk, burning porcelain and brewing wine, and even recruiting female workers.I heard that more than a dozen female workers work around a large loom, which can produce ten times the finished product per day compared with ordinary household looms. The means are not less than men's farming in the field.

However, with more and more workshops, the goods produced are getting more and more cheap, and the money earned by laborers is not as much as it used to be.If a new market can be opened up and the products of the Central Plains sold to the Northland in exchange for their special products, the situation will definitely be better than the current situation, and it will be more beneficial for the people to improve their lives.

Seeing Liu Guanqing's expression, Xie Wuyao knew that he had caught up with the rhythm and thought carefully, so he continued to preach the advanced concept: "Sea transportation is also the same principle, in order to expand the cost of transportation and increase the cargo capacity. Land transportation of bulk cargo is time-consuming. It is long and difficult to walk through the mountains and mountains. The canal that runs through the north and the south is less labor-intensive than land transportation. But further north, there are mountains blocking it, and it is almost impossible to dig a river through the mountains. Now it can only be carried by mules, horses and manpower. Not as pleasant as sailing.

If the sea ban is lifted, sailing from the sea, leaving the port from Hangzhou, all the way to the north along the coast, it is all near the sea, the wind and waves are not too big, but the boat can be bigger than the inland river boat, and transport more goods at a time .

And the destination is not just the Northland.His Royal Highness said that there are several small countries along the coast, which are not as good as the Central Plains, but those small countries produce a large amount of gold, silver, copper and iron ore.If we can trade with them, countless gold and silver minerals will flow into the Southern Dynasty continuously, and the country will be rich and the people strong.At present, only our Southern Dynasty can build large ships. If we monopolize the maritime transportation and control the trade of the surrounding countries, we will be invincible. "

Liu Guanqing had seen large docks before, Jiangnan's boatmen were highly skilled and could build even bigger boats.It's just limited to the current navigable capacity of the river, so no bigger boats will be needed for the time being.Liu Guanqing has also been to the sea, and the vast expanse of blue waves can't be seen at a glance, and it is several times wider than the river.On a large ship at sea, the goods that can be transported in one round trip must be much more than that of a team of cattle and horses, and it can also save costs.It is a pity that the former dynasty had sea transportation, but this dynasty banned the sea due to rampant pirates.However, as the Southern Dynasties became more and more prosperous, they should be able to build warships and build coastal defenses. In the future, if they can take the initiative to attack pirates, protect sea routes, and occupy sea areas to monopolize maritime trade, it may not be a fantasy.

"But the Holy Majesty thinks that those small coastal countries are barbarians, so what is there to trade? Don't worry about it. The only thing worth guarding against is the Northern Kingdom. If the border trade is opened, it will be easier for the northern kingdom's fine arts to mix into our Southern Dynasty. Wait for them to gather again How should we deal with plundering in the south? To do business with wolves, you have to be strong enough to have a chance of fair trade. Otherwise, the people of the northern kingdom will rob them openly by relying on their strength and strength, and the people of the southern dynasty dare not even say a word. Then they will suffer a big loss .

The Holy Majesty's concern is certainly right, but if the hostility is blocked all the time, it will not be a long-term solution.I think His Royal Highness's vision is more far-sighted, but it is also difficult to realize, and it needs opportunities and the right time and place to work together.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince already understood these truths when he was so young, and finally mustered up the courage to go to the North Kingdom as a hostage and plan secretly.In the eyes of others, going to the Northern Kingdom is a dangerous and humiliating thing, but he was able to leave the palace and leave the Central Plains to see the Northern Kingdom with his own eyes.The scenery along the way, the people's livelihood, and the local products are more real than listening to others in the imperial city for a lifetime.Reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Only by experiencing it personally can he verify whether his thoughts are right or wrong. "

At first, Liu Guanqing was distressed by the torment that Wuyao had suffered, and then she was attracted by these novel governance methods.If there is a complete truce, the North and the South will open border trade, open shipping, and do business with neighboring countries. The Southern Dynasty will actually have a great advantage.And the benefits gained by the Southern Dynasties are not only gold and silver, but also the orthodox status of the Central Plains culture.This kind of lofty spiritual status, as well as the benefits that the people actually get from getting rich, cannot be brought about by militarism and seclusion.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who can stick to this kind of political views is really very exciting.

"No medicine, this is why you accepted the mission and tried hard to bring His Royal Highness back to China, right?"

Xie Wuyao nodded: "In the future, His Royal Highness will be able to display his own ideas of governing the country by assisting the government. Maybe the lives of the people will be improved, and my Southern Dynasty will also flourish and become more prosperous and powerful. The country is rich and the people are strong, and the economic properties of the surrounding countries can be controlled. Who would dare to commit an offense easily? His Highness the Crown Prince has been a hostage in the Northern Kingdom for the past few years, and perhaps his words and deeds have also influenced the new Emperor of the Northern Kingdom. Otherwise, how could the new Emperor put forward the opening of border trade as a condition before releasing His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Liu Guanqing looked at Xie Wuyao with admiration: "Wuyao, I didn't expect you to be so good at martial arts, but also understand so many principles. Since I met you, I realized that I was too ignorant before."

"I also learned from others. I just want to tell you casually. You have always been in contact with martial arts people. Naturally, it is impossible to know these strategies for governing the country. Now I just mention it, and you can figure out the key points. It can be seen that you are too. Very smart and transparent." Xie Wuyao praised sincerely.

At this time, those members of the Demon Cult who were harassing outside had been completely wiped out, Bian Cheng had just left, and the rest of the minions had died all over the place.Fang and Zhou led their disciples to dispose of the corpses of those minions.

Ying Qi hadn't seen Wu Yao just now, so she couldn't help feeling a little worried, she appeared outside the tent and asked, "Liu Shaoxia, are you all right?"
