Xiaosheng is really not a nerd. Chapter 777: Go their separate ways.

Arriving at the stables, Gu Xianting told the person in charge of horse training that she wanted to ride a horse and asked him to pick out the two fastest horses.

The horse trainer looked at Gu Xianting's delicate appearance and knew that if he wanted to run the fastest horse, he would naturally have to hurry.

This side is delaying time to help Gu Xianting choose a horse, while the other side secretly sends someone to inform him.

Gu Xianting pointed to a heroic black horse and said, "That's it!"

The horse trainer secretly thought that the lady's vision for horses was unique.

The horse's name is Black Panther. It is a very good horse, but it has a violent temper and cannot be controlled by ordinary people.

In addition, this horse is the third master’s mount.

"Miss, this is the third master's mount."

Gu Xianting was delighted when he heard this, "Uncle Xuan's mount must be a good horse."

After saying that, he stepped on the stirrup and mounted the horse. The moment his buttocks just touched the horse's back, the black panther raised its front hooves as if standing up. Gu Xianting slipped from the horse's back and fell to the ground.

When Gu Wanru who came over saw this scene, he exclaimed: "Aunt Xiaoxianting!"

As the head of the Gu family, it is very strange for Gu Wanru, who is also very young, to say this.

Gu Xianting was not convinced, and ignored the pain in his butt. He immediately got up and put on the stirrup again and mounted the horse: "I don't believe I can't get up from you."

The strong and majestic black panther once again raised its front hooves and stood up. The weak Gu Xianting on the horse was like a doll.

Xianting was already prepared for this review, holding the bridle tightly with both hands and leaning close to the horse's back.

Gu Wanru trembled: "Stop playing in Xiaoxianting, I can't stand being scared by you at my age."

At this moment, a deep shout spread: "Beast!"

It was Gu Xuan who came, and the Black Panther immediately became calm and composed when he heard his master's voice.

Gu Xianting said happily: "Uncle Xuan, you came just in time. I would like to lend you your mount."

Gu Xuan's equestrian skills were clear to Gu Xuan from his performance just now, and he said nicely: "Why ride a horse if you can't ride in a good carriage?"

"I have to hurry."

Gu Wanru immediately answered: "Xiao Xianting, if you have anything to do, just let others do it."

"Only I can handle this!"

Gu Xuan smiled: "Okay." He said something in the horse's ear.

Gu Xianting immediately felt that the black panther became docile and peaceful, and the muscles on the horse's back relaxed. This was a sign that it had been tamed. He asked curiously: "Uncle Xuan, what did you say to it?"

"I told it that you are my daughter, its little master."

Good horses also understand human nature.

Gu Xianting rode a black panther and left through the side door, heading to Wuxi alone.

Gu Wanru said displeasedly: "Gu Xuan, why are you doing such nonsense?"

Gu Xuan smiled and said: "Father, it's not like you don't know Xiao Xianting's temper. She is not an ordinary weak lady in a boudoir."

Gu Wanru said coldly: "Humph, if something happens to her, I can't spare you."

"Don't worry, Father, I will arrange for Ying Ziwei to follow you immediately."

…

Xie Fu came to the government office and saw Lu Tao. Lu Tao was working in the study. In Xie Fu's impression, Lu Tao was always busy with official duties.

This dedication and dedication is what he admires and is the true style of a famous family.

Lu Tao specially put down his official duties to receive Xie Fu. After the people's scramble for food subsided, although he had a lot of free time, he had to spare his energy to keep an eye on the Zhechong government army.

It's easy to destroy, but it takes some effort to incorporate it for your own use.

"Master Lu, I'm disturbing you again."

Lu Tao smiled: "What are you talking about?"

Xie Fu asked casually: "Why haven't you seen Brother Wenyuan recently?"

Lu Wenlin's nickname is Wenyuan, which is a more dignified name for calling Lu Wenlin in front of Lu Tao.

Lu Tao smiled and said: "Wen Lin has been a little busy recently." Then he added: "About some martial arts matters."

When Lu Tao said this, Xie Fu understood that it probably involved Di Zong, Xuan Zong, or others.

"Master Lu, I came here to discuss something with you."

"Shaodian, speak directly if you have anything to say." Compared with calling Xie Fu by his name, the word "Shaodian" always has a special sense of intimacy.

Xie Fu explained the purpose of borrowing grain. Lu Tao smiled after hearing this: "I thought Shaodian didn't care about Jiangnan Dongdao Grain General Merchant at all." The results of many things are not the ultimate goal.

Xie Fu said: "No! I care very much."

Lu Tao said with a smile: "Is it Xianting or about Miss Tantai?"

Xie Fu smiled bitterly: "It's about myself."

Lu Tao nodded and smiled: "It should be."

As he spoke, he looked at Fu Xie with deep meaning: "The Xie family in Kuaiji has been quiet for a long time. With a figure like you, Shaobian, you will definitely achieve greater glory and inherit the fame of the two sages Yao Qinggong and Hong Daogong."

In front of Lu Tao, Mr.

Xie Fu was not surprised at all that Lu Tao knew about his family background.

Just comparing him, a man who was expelled from his clan, with the two sages Yao Qinggong and Hong Daogong, made Xie Fu a little dumbfounded.

"Sir, how dare I compare myself to these two saints?"

"Hey, what Shao Dei said is wrong. In terms of talent and learning ability, Shao Dei is no less than the two sages of the Xie family. When it comes to red-blooded heart, Shao Dei is not bad at all, but his achievements are not as good as those of the two sages. But

Shao Dei is in his prime, who can know how great Shao Dei will be in the future."

Xie Fu only regarded Lu Tao as a compliment, "My lord, I will tell you the truth, this Jiangnan East Road Grain Merchant is really important to me."

Lu Tao still smiled. Mr. Xie of Kuaiji was indeed a bit down and out now.

Xie Fu lowered his voice and said softly: "Sir, I wonder if you have received the news?"

Lu Tao was curious: "What's the news?"

"I want to take up the post of Jiedushi of Huainan Province."

"What!"

Lu Tao was so surprised that he almost fell off his chair: "Shaodian, are you kidding me?"

"How dare you kid me, sir?"

"Really?" Lu Tao still couldn't believe it.

"Really, Wang Junheng, the former Minister of War, is already running for me in the capital, haven't you heard?"

Lu Tao took a breath of air. It turned out to be Wang Clan, so this matter is almost certain. He responded: "I haven't received the news. Shao Dian, have you received the exact news?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Xie Fuying said: "I'm not sure yet, but maybe someone already knows the result?"

Lu Tao was curious: "Who?"

"Do you recognize Huo Duan, sir?"

"Huo Duan, a big businessman who sells medicinal materials and Silla maids?"

Xie Fu nodded and heard Lu Tao say: "The details of this person are elusive, but according to my understanding, he has very close connections with Chang'an and his background may not be simple."

Xie Fu nodded and said: "Huo Duan already knows about this matter. He is bidding for Jiangnan East Road Grain General Merchant. Huo Duan took the initiative to show his favor to me."

Lu Tao laughed and said: "This bastard's nose is sharper than a cat's, and he will never smell wrong."

Then he suddenly realized and pointed at Xie Fu: "This is why you want to bid for Jiangnan Dongdao Grain General Merchant."

The Huainan Dao Jiedu envoy was ranked in the second rank, and he could be said to be an extremely popular minister.

This position not only oversees the entire Huainan Road, but also oversees the eight observer envoys of Jiangnan East Road. It can be said to be the governor of two provinces.

However, due to the special characteristics of Jiangnan and the fact that Zhechong Prefectures in various places are under different guard rates, the forces of all parties can be said to be mixed.

This position is a hot potato. Let’s not put aside whether it is an empty title or not. Whether or not I can take up the post alive is a question, so this position has always been vacant.

However, since Xie Fu has the support of the royal family, he should have no problem taking office.

Thinking of this, Lu Tao asked: "Does Shaodian want to take advantage of a false name or do he want to do something practical?"

Xie Fuxiao asked: "Sir, what do you think?"

Lu Tao responded: "If you want to gain a false reputation and establish a reputation for the Xie family in Kuaiji, it's easy. However, if Shaodian wants to do something practical, it will be quite difficult."

Xie Fu followed suit and said: "If Xie Fu really takes up the post of Huainan Dao Jiedushi, I would like to ask Mr. Lu to take care of him."

Lu Tao chuckled: "You kid, you are quite smart. You came to win me over immediately."

Xie Fu said: "Young man is alone. If there is no adult to take care of you, I am afraid that your head will not be saved."
