Before dawn, more than [-] silver eagles quietly left the city. Before leaving, Chu Xiang checked their accents. Among the silver eagles, there were only a few soldiers with sound voices, so most of the time they had no chance to speak in the queue. , spoke the West Tang dialect in an awkward manner, it sounded like it was learned for the sake of alienation.

"Do you remember Zhao Guo's swear words?"

The silver eagles nodded to Chu Xiang with a murderous look, and those who didn't know thought it was some tragic and tragic mission.

Chu Xiang rolled up his sleeves. Although his ankles were still not healed, he was tall and tall, standing in front of the door, with a beautiful posture; his eyes swept across the silent silver eagle, and suddenly smiled.

"You are the wings of the gods of the desert. Wherever you go, you have overcome obstacles. Now it's just a harassment mission for the overqualified, so I won't say any unnecessary nonsense. I'm just here, waiting for the triumphant return!"

His voice was calm, even soft, not very impassioned, but his eyes swept across, and there was a huge energy in the calmness, every silver eagle could feel trust from it—he trusted them and would definitely complete this task, There is no second possibility.

Therefore, they can't help puffing out their chests in this gaze, raising their plump wings like a proud eagle under the sky, they will fly to the sky, for no reason, it should be like this.

After sending Yinying away, Chu Xiang suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly turned around to look for Lan Jue, but met the other party's deep gaze.

Chu Xiang hurriedly lowered her head: "Your Majesty."

Lan Jue stared at him for a while, exhaled, and said, "Go back and rest."

"Your Majesty, there are still many things to do here, and it won't matter if I don't sleep for one night." Chu Xiang said, "Mr. Lincheng should still be waiting for the arrangement of your majesty at this moment."

Lan Jue was displeased, and even wanted to say that it would be fine if he waited an extra day, but he still knew the priorities. Of course, he also knew that entering Pinglin City was not the end, but just the beginning.

Gu Linzhi planned these many detours, all he planned was to meet Lan Jue and gain a future. Now he has succeeded halfway, Zhao's army has helped him a lot, otherwise, he would have to Continue to defend the city, pretending to be loyal and courageous, in order to win the favor of the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty.

He has carefully studied the record, past, and inbreeding of the Lord of the Western Tang Dynasty, and he can easily conclude that Lan Jue admires righteous men who have love and righteousness, and has the world in mind. He likes it, so Gu Linzhi carefully planned this drama, but unexpectedly, he has been completely exposed by Chu Xiang.

But Chu Xiang still said: "Your Majesty, Gu Linzhi is available, I still make my previous judgment."

Lan Jue nodded very lightly, and called Yang Feng to call Gu Linzhi.

Gu Linzhi came after a while, and sure enough, he didn't intend to rest at all, he just washed up and dressed properly, waiting for Lan Jue to summon him.

However, when he entered the room, he felt that the atmosphere was different from what he had expected. The king who should have expected and praised him in his prediction was sitting there with a gloomy face, his blood-stained robe He didn't have time to replace it, the armor and weapon were still on his body, full of murderous aura.

But the young man who was injured and carried into the city before had a smile on his face, sitting leisurely by the side, and even showed a warm smile to Gu Linzhi when he entered the door.

So Gu Linzhi was a little confused.

He braced himself, bent down to worship, and said in his mouth: "Caomin Gu Linzhi, kowtow to see Xi—"

"No need."

Lan Jue interrupted him, the monarch looked at him condescendingly, this smug wealthy businessman suddenly realized that he looked a little ridiculous, the other party was the king of the Western Tang Dynasty who was well versed in military art, his crappy calculations were really flawless?When that oppressive gaze looked over, Gu Linzhi's knees were almost weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

Sure enough, Lan Jue asked him directly: "If this king takes you back to Xitang, what will you do with this flat city?"

Gu Linzhi secretly said that he was broken, and the cold sweat was pouring down like rain—Lan Jue seemed to know everything clearly. Pinglin City had never been in Gu Linzhi's eyes. One day, you will get the power of the dragon, and you will be an extremely human minister. How big a city can't get it?home?If the world is in sight, where can't it be home?Being attached to a small world, on the contrary, seems to have no foresight and no big ambitions - that was Gu Linzhi's original wishful thinking.

Looking at it now, it seems that instead of being appreciated by Lan Jue, he offended him.

Gu Linzhi immediately knelt down and kowtowed. Before he could speak, the elegant young man's smile widened further, and he shook his head slightly. As a result, the lie that Gu Linzhi had prepared came to his lips, but he couldn't say it. After a while, he closed his mouth. Closing his eyes, he said frankly:

"Pinglin is only a small town, I didn't take it to heart."

Chu Xiang nodded slightly——Lan Jue didn't like Gu Linzhi's deceit, instead of getting darker and darker, confessing in time might save a lot of goodwill.

Seeing his expression, Gu Linzhi acted like he was going all out, and said directly: "Although I was born in Pinglin, I have no worries or special feelings here. It is not in my consideration whether it will eventually belong to Zhao State or Qi State. The difference is not big; what I want is nothing more than a reputation. If you can appreciate it and get a chance to make a difference, what I can dedicate to the Lord is far more than a mere flat. .”

"You are heartless and cold-hearted. You are really a businessman through and through." Lan Jue said.

Gu Linzhi said: "The lord's words are wrong. Who doesn't want to be a warm-hearted, caring and affectionate human being, but if you look at the world, does it allow people to have friendship? Gu Linzhi is able to have today because he understands everything. , are unreliable, and only the interests that are actually held in the hands are the real support. If the ruler of the country can really return the people of the world to a loving and righteous world, then when that day comes, Linzhi may also become a person with a heart. A businessman of morality and conscience."

Lan Jue nodded: "Okay then, let me ask you, have you also exploited labor, driven children, and been a ruthless and superior boss?"

Gu Linzhi nodded: "Yes."

"why?"

Gu Linzhi was no longer afraid, he raised his head, looked directly at Lan Jue and replied, "Everyone has to survive, I use child labor to save costs, if I don't use it, I won't be able to make money, and everyone will starve to death together, and that's all." A child laborer will not end well just because I don’t use him, on the contrary, he will die on the street the next day.”

Lan Jue sighed lightly, and asked again: "Okay, then have you ever done business in murdering, buying and selling daughters, and kidnapping slaves?"

Gu Linzhi: "No."

"why?"

Gu Linzhi replied again: "Even a profiteer knows very well that he will not do something."

"I believe you." Lan Jue said, "I believe you this time, I hope you will remember these four words you said yourself in the future."

Exiting Lan Jue's room, Gu Linzhi looked as if he had been fished out of the water. While wiping his cold sweat, he looked at Chu Xiang who followed him, and saluted solemnly.

"Thank you sir for saving me."

Chu Xiang gave her a hand, and said politely: "Mr. Lincheng has seven orifices in his heart, and he immediately understood the key point. I might as well tell you frankly that there are many big and small things that Xitang is facing this time, and there are really many things in it. It is rare to be able to use the place where Lord Lincheng is."

Gu Linzhi hurriedly said: "I will definitely die."

It was very cumbersome for the two of them to be polite, to compliment each other, and even to be loyal in their words and outwardly. I heard that Xie Zhiwei wanted to shield his own captain, but he had to stand up and help the captain calculate the data—one person and one AI teamed up, how could it be possible? I'm not afraid that Gu Linzhi, an old fritter, will hide his secrets.

Chu Xiang briefly told Gu Linzhi about the locust plague that the Western Tang Dynasty is currently facing. The lack of clothing and food has reached a critical juncture. No matter how powerful Chu Xiang is, he can't conjure food out of thin air. Well, after having Gu Linzhi, he has a hand in business everywhere, if he finds a way to trade some food and grass, there is a way to think of it.

Not long after, when the sky was bright, the silver eagles also came back.

The leader, Yin Ying, still had the flush of intense exercise on his face, but he was in high spirits. He saluted Chu Xiang, and Chu Xiang knew that their trip was going well.

Chu Xiang smiled and nodded: "Thank you."

The faces of the silver eagles turned even redder, they forgot that they could actually speak, and gestured repeatedly.

Xie Zhiwei sighed: "Captain, aren't you going to chase Lan Jue, can you stop flirting around?"

Chu Xiang: "Why am I flirting everywhere?"

"Your eyes are hooked, especially for Yinying's pectoral muscles!" Xie Zhiwei protested.

Chu Xiang sighed: "I really want to hook Lan Jue's chest muscles, but I'm afraid of death, so I have to think of a good idea."

Xie Zhiwei: "..."

Ignoring the AI ​​who was worrying about the captain's personal problems, Chu Xiang focused on her eyes and continued to say to Gu Linzhi: "Since you don't care about Ping Lincheng, if the Qi State envoys come later, I will But I’m asking for your opinion, but if the Qi State uses business as a bargaining chip, you still have to come forward to talk.”

"Naturally." Gu Linzhi said, "Although I love money, I also know that only when the world is stable and I meet the Lord, can I truly own the world's wealth. Please rest assured that you will hand it over to me, sir. For small profits, do anything that is detrimental to nationalism."

Xie Zhiwei: "The hormone level is normal, the heart rate remains unchanged, and there is no abnormality in the whole body. It is the truth."

Chu Xiang smiled and said, "That will be my work."

After a night of chaos, the two sides died down, but they both had new plans. About an hour later, the city gate came to report.

"Master Bingguo, the envoys of Qi State have arrived."

As Chu Xiang predicted, Yinying's attack had an effect. Lan Jue ordered people to hear the envoy of Qi State, and Chu Xiang and Gu Linzhi sat down respectively. According to their plan, if it goes well, they can get rid of Zhao Guo's pursuit as soon as possible. Kill, return to the south as soon as possible, after all, the front is even more uneven.
