Chapter 237
"My friend, the strength of the 'black market' in Chudu is only the tip of their iceberg, not to mention that the royal families in other countries are not as wise and powerful as our Majesty. Therefore, if you really want to replace your 'tiao' plan, it is still a long way to go."
Lord Huangfu finally said what he wanted to say most today. This is a reminder and an expectation. As a model of serving the people wholeheartedly, what Lord Huangfu wants to see most is not only the people of Chu who live and work in peace, but also hopes that the working people can live a richer and richer life. However, these are restricted by objective factors. The most important point here is the prohibition of trade in various countries.
However, it is most likely that countries can really trade. Even if Chu takes this step, Lord Huangfu doesn't think he can do it. However, he has similar expectations for Gu Yue. Although it is not a legitimate transaction, it is at least safer than those dirty things in the "black market".
Gu Yue could also hear that there was something in Lord Huangfu's words. This was an expectation and a responsibility. Lord Huangfu seemed to want to hand over the burden that he could not complete on his shoulders to Gu Yue, which surprised Gu Yue.
"I have always thought that my future father-in-law is the one who is most keen on this. I didn't expect that you are not inferior to Lord Huangfu!"
"Haha, when it comes to your father-in-law, don't you care that he will sell your interests for nothing?"
"What's the matter? You don't need to guess that you know that when he talked to His Majesty, he must have mentioned that I was not very interested in money, and I always paid for the Lily of the Valley when I go shopping."
"That's really... you don't mind?"
"What do you have to mind? Leaving all wages and salary to your wife is the most conducive to family harmony, society, stability and prosperity. It is the duty of our great men!"
This sentence shocked Lord Huangfu. He never thought from the bottom of his heart that Gu Yue could be so "open-minded"! As an era when men are superior to women, it is really difficult for anyone to be as "faceless" as Gu Yue, but for some reason, Lord Huangfu just felt that Gu Yue was expressing his feelings was not false, which made him even more unbelievable.
"Hahahahahahaha! Interesting, my friend is really interesting, I admire you, I admire you!"
"Over-favorite, over-favorite."
Gu Yue didn't think that his "common sense of the future" could be recognized by the ancients. Even a wise man like Lord Huangfu would definitely not abandon his thoughts. He was just to respect him as much as possible. Therefore, he would be very curious about Gu Yue's statement. Although he didn't agree, he should be interested. Perhaps he would continue to pay attention to whether Gu Yue's words and deeds were consistent.
"Actually, your father-in-law is indeed a fellow man of me. This is also the basis for the solid relationship between the two families over the years, and it is one of the reasons why I found him directly back then. He has not disappointed me at all over the years. He has been worried about the business of Chu State, but he is not as calm as you and is too calm, so it is difficult to really break the current situation. But you are indeed possible. Perhaps this is also the reason why he has high expectations for you and is willing to take a gamble on you from beginning to end."
"What about you? Why do you have such high expectations for me?"
"Didn't my boss already tell me the reason? That's right."
"That's really flattering, so you specially sent your second child to participate in the trick, right? I'm so miserable. Don't you know?"
"Haha, I was just saying that you are not interested in material things, why did you cry so quickly?"
"It doesn't matter, but nothing else matters. Is the name of the 'Nine Heavens Meteorite' very tiger? I'm really curious about what that thing looks like, but unfortunately I didn't even see it, and the duck I got flew away! Besides, I had the chance to get the fourth-grade pill recipe I thought I was thinking of, and it was also ruined!"
When Lord Huangfu heard Gu Yue say this, he not only felt that the boy was becoming more and more honest. He couldn't help but take a sip of tea and continued, "When it comes to the fourth-grade pill recipe, I'm afraid I don't know it yet? You've crossed over again."
"ha?!"
Lord Huangfu's words were abrupt but clear in meaning. After all, he skipped the "Nine Heavens Meteor Iron" incident.
"At the time of the Heavenly Martial Arts Conference, my second son was secretly ordered by His Majesty to continue negotiating with Panji and reached an agreement to exchange the purple gourd grass with pure gold. Unfortunately, Panji did not succeed and alarmed your snow tiger friend."
"This..." Gu Yue was speechless. He already knew why Pan Ji was confident but still couldn't get the things.
"It doesn't take too much effort to imagine that your Snow Tiger friend mentioned "Purple Ghost Grass" when you visited, so he became more alert, which made Panji almost explain it. But you are still very proud of your face. Panji said that he was let go because he claimed your name. I don't know what he would think in the future?"
"This is really..."
As Lord Huangfu said, I really didn't care too much about the "Purple Ghost Grass" when fighting a tiger, because it is difficult to use monsters, let alone humans. But since Gu Yue mentioned this, it has a sense of prevention. Although it does not think that Gu Yue will return, after all, the more important thing between them is reputation. This involves subsequent transactions, the big tiger is not stupid. It quickly realized that even if Gu Yue doesn't do it, it will be difficult for someone to be determined not to take action for Gu Yue!
So Panji was very depressed. His body skills could indeed come and go freely to a large extent, but this was not included in front of the big tiger. However, when the big tiger asked him if the herbs were related to Gu Yue, he did not hesitate too much and then told him. After all, this choice is likely to be related to life and death. The big tiger specifically mentioned Gu Yue instead of slapping him directly, which means that Gu Yue has weight in the eyes of the big tiger, at least it is much more important than Panji!
Besides, even if the rules of the world are in the world, such private jobs should not be revealed directly by the employer, but generally it means not to pass it on to others. Of course, this does not include the monster, right?
Sure enough, the big tiger released Panji after hearing Panji's detailed description. After all, he did not steal anything, nor did he hurt other monsters. However, there were still warnings that should be there, otherwise wouldn't it be a vegetable garden?
After hearing this, Gu Yue was a little angry, "What's this?! That big bastard from Chu! He still wanted to help me get herbs, why did he have to dig a hole first? What's more, he didn't make it in the end!"
This change in his eyes and expression was seen by Lord Huangfu. He thought that Gu Yue shot himself in the foot again, so he regretted it. "My friend, you should know why His Majesty must arrange a deal with Panji in person, right?"
"Of course, after all, Your Majesty doesn't want me to get the pill recipe, but wants to reward me personally. Only in this way can I be grateful..."
"Isn't it?" Lord Huangfu's smile began to play with.
"It's really..."
“That’s it.”
Lord Huangfu was very pleased with Gu Yue's confession and understanding. After all, he never wanted the relationship between Emperor Chu and Gu Yue to be too stiff. However, with Emperor Chu's temperament, he would not miss any chance to be a wake-up call to Gu Yue. However, Gu Yue said the most cowardly words and would never compromise in his heart... I have to say that Lord Huangfu and Huangfu Bozhong were worried about ease the relationship between the two.
"Thank you for your advice. I will never forget what I said today!"
"My friend, if you can accomplish that big thing, I can comfort you!"
"Of course I have to work hard, but it depends on the truth of what I can accomplish. But if you have nothing else to do now, I would rather say a few more words, okay?"
"Oh? Tell me."
Gu Yue paused and used a playful smile, but her eyes became sharper, "Please tell your second child that as long as he is consistently good to Lily of the Valley's eldest sister, I will not touch him."
"You are threatening my son in front of me?! This is the first time someone has experienced this. My friend is indeed extraordinary, not ordinary..."
Lord Huangfu knew that Gu Yue was telling the truth, and what he cared more about was not his own face but Shangguan Linglu's mood. But in the decades of storms of Chu, no one dared to speak to Lord Huangfu like this!
"Calm down, didn't I scold his children in front of the general that night? And it hurt Tang Mulin, but in the end, the general didn't do anything to me, so I believe you are just as generous."
"I don't have the ability of a general...well, I will bring you your words."
"Then I'll be here for you, Lord Huangfu. I'll say goodbye, and I won't give it to you."
"Who will give you it? But, this door will be open to you at any time, and I will never miss any opportunity to drive you."
"Besides 'flattered', what else can I say?"
Looking at each other and smiling, Gu Yue inexplicably felt more weight on her shoulders when she left Huangfu Mansion.
The storm of Chu capital has been stirred up, and there is no chance to escape, but Gu Yue does not have this plan, because if someone really uses Tang Mulin to set up a trap for Gu Yue and affect the Tang sisters, this will already violate Gu Yue's bottom line!
But he also knew that his quick knife was very lucky to cut the mess. After all, the knife that could cut the mess was named Tang Wentian, and it was the fastest one among the six kingdoms.
What's more, if you are not careful when using this knife, you will definitely hurt yourself.
