Wu Yuan was forced to take the initiative to come to the door.
Of course, he first took the path of Gu Chi.
The gifts prepared this time are staggeringly rich.
Gu Chi had long been instructed by Shen Tang to calmly accept Wu Yuan's gift. In addition to Wu Yuan and Gong Cheng, there were two maids on this trip. Wu Yuan followed his promise and took them to the door with a large amount of money to apologize. Gu Chi He accepted the gift but his attitude was very cold.
The two women came forward and bowed and apologized, but he drove them out.
Seeing this, Wu Yuan could only tell them to step back with a wink, so as not to offend Gu Chi: "Sir, please have mercy on Bei Mo."
He is a flexible person.
Even if Gu Chi scolded him to "get lost" on New Year's Eve, Wu Yuan could still pretend that the incident never happened, and used the excuse of "the maid's rude collision" to visit Gu Chi to apologize. But his real purpose It's to bribe Gu Chi to help speed up the progress.
Gu Chi: "Why does the Northern Desert need mercy from a sick man?"
Wu Yuan smiled bitterly: "Sir, how come you don't know the current situation in the Northern Desert? Lord Kang has reduced trade between the two places, and many tribes in the Northern Desert have been affected. The big tribes are better off, with deep foundations that can sustain them, but the small tribes are not so lucky. Now. During this season, more ordinary people are suffering from cold and hunger. If the situation cannot be controlled, when spring comes, the situation in the country will probably be uncontrollable..."
What he said was pitiful.
What he said was both a threat and a threat.
Shen Tang was afraid of the Northern Desert, so he strangled the Northern Desert's trade, which resulted in many tribes in the Northern Desert being short of supplies. The winter in the Northern Desert was relatively long, and I don't know how many ordinary people couldn't survive it. There was no way to vent the grief and anger that had been accumulated for a long time. In order to survive, the people would ignore the royal court's idea of peace and insist on sending troops to plunder, and local wars in the two places rekindled.
This is something neither party wants to see.
If Shen Tang hadn't forced people to a dead end, why would this have happened?
Kang State was newly established and needed to rest and recuperate.
The Northern Desert doesn't want to start a war either.
As long as each takes a step back, the two places will be able to live in peace!
This is a win-win situation.
Wu Yuan put a high hat on Gu Chi: "Sir, you are a close confidant of Lord Kang. If you are willing to report to Lord Kang and clarify the relationship of interest, I think you will be as open-minded as she is, and you will consider this matter. It will be beneficial to the people of Beimo, but not to Kang. It’s more beneficial to the people.”
They were also willing to buy grain from Shen Tang at a high price. With this money, wouldn't they be able to be more comfortable in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China?
Wu Yuan even revealed that the price can be negotiated.
Gu Chi sneered: "This is not like you."
The negotiation between the two parties is a psychological warfare.
Only by grasping the opponent's psychology can you gain the biggest bargaining chip, but Wu Yuan seems to be a fool, blowing his own bottom line, and taking the initiative to give profits. I dare to say that there is nothing fishy in this? The more attentive and proactive Beimo is, the more it seems that there is something wrong with Beimo's proposed cooperation. .
"Mr., you still have an insight into people's hearts." Wu Yuan simply laid out his ambition, "To be honest with you, sir, if Wu could really facilitate the exchange of trade between the two countries and buy Kang's high-yielding grain seeds, the prestige he would gain would be enough to surpass other countries. Brother. In the Northern Desert, Wu Mou has the final say on the next generation. How can people not be moved by this? This matter is related to the future throne. Compared with the throne, why not give up some benefits to friendly countries? If this happens , Wu is willing to have eternal friendship with Kang State and help each other."
All he had to do was tell Gu Chi that he didn’t pay for the grain seeds, so why should he feel so distressed? Only if this thing is accomplished, the credit will be his. This time he was really sincere!
Gu Chi was noncommittal about this.
But for the sake of this generous gift, I was also willing to say a few words to Wu Yuan. Wu Yuan got the promise and smiled all over his face.
He just calmed down the moment he stepped out of the tent.
As everyone knows——
The same goes for Gu Chi.
He opened the pile of gifts with his hands and knocked for a while.
10% will be kept and 30% will be packed and sent out.
The remaining 60% was sent to Shen Tang.
Not surprisingly, they acted like they were running away from home.
Shen Tang was not surprised by this scene.
What she cares about is——
"Wu Yuan is quite a generous boy. He spent a lot of money to bribe you. But why did you only give me 60%? If it weren't for your lord and I left him alone, how could he have given you so much? Bribery is illegal income. No matter what, I should give it 70%!"
Give her 70%, and the remaining 30% will be considered his innocent income.
Gu Chi said: "Chi also needs to save some savings."
He doesn't have any wealth at his age, so he doesn't look good.
Shen Tang curled his lips and muttered: "Save some savings? You're single...forget it, there's no point in worrying about it. It's the same as scraping some more flesh off Wu Yuan's body to settle the account later. I'll see you tomorrow Give him something sweet to taste."
It's not a problem if you leave it dry all the time.
With Gong Cheng's strength, who knows if he has been "wandering around" and "checking out places" during this period. She has to bear the risk by leaving such a group of people in her main business. Some things are difficult to deal with, so she should hurry up. Send the person away.
Shen Tang left two Wenqi incarnations to work overtime.
My true self goes out to eat after eating.
I was a little full from the late night snack I just had.
Unconsciously, I wandered a bit out of the way.
Shen Tang paused and looked in a certain direction: "Come out and be sneaky, and you won't be afraid of being treated as an assassin."
A young figure walked out of the darkness.
It was none other than Gong Cheng and Gong Yunchi.
The latter was still dressed in simple and smart clothes, with the ever-changing silence on his face. He stopped two feet away from Shen Tang. Seeing that Shen Tang went out without even a personal guard, he disapproved and said: "Gentleman How can Lord Kang know if he doesn't build a dangerous wall?"
"How can I be killed in my own camp?" After a short walk, she noticed someone peeping in the dark, but the other person had no killing intention. She wanted to know how long the other person could hold it in, pretending not to know, but unexpectedly Gong Cheng really kept his composure, "Besides, not to mention this camp, every inch of land in Kang State is mine. Since it's all mine, why bother threatening the wall?"
Gong Cheng still stood there and said nothing.
Shen Tang said: "Come on, what's the matter?"
Gong Cheng had no problem following him, but he had no intention of taking action. He must have something to ask for. It wouldn't be to reminisce about old times anyway.
"Are you familiar with Gong Xiqiu?"
Shen Tang didn't expect to hear the name of his confidant from Gong Cheng. He glanced at Gong Cheng up and down, guessing the other person's purpose, and said: "I am very familiar with him. You came to me for him? He and You probably don't have any grudges. You can't seek revenge from him for the battle at Xiaocheng, right?"
Xiaocheng was indeed captured by Gong Xichou, but he was a general, and he was only following orders when he attacked the city. And Gong Cheng was not from Xiaocheng, so why should he seek revenge from him? If he really wanted to seek revenge, he would go to the royal family of King Xin—— If the royal family is still alive, they may go to Zheng Qiao's grave, dig out his body, whip it and trample it.
Unexpectedly, Gong Cheng nodded.
"Yes and no."
Seeking revenge is true, but it is not about fighting for Xiaocheng.
Hearing this, Shen Tang decisively refused: "Since you know that I have a good relationship with Gong Xiqiu, you should also know that I will not betray one of my own. Of course, I don't know where he is now. How can such a big living person stay here forever? A place.”
Gong Cheng: "I heard that Gong Xiqiu has a younger sister."
Shen Tang laughed and sneered: "So what? Gong Xichou has a grudge against you. If you go to fight with him and use an ordinary female prostitute as a threat, are you still the same Gong Yunchi as before? Sorry, before Gong Xichou left. Entrust his sister to me, and I will ensure her safety regardless of emotion or reason. If you want to kill someone, you need to go through me first. Are you sure you want to die here?"
Gong Cheng has experienced [Enlightenment] and is very strong, but she also gets stronger when she encounters a strong one, and the upper limit is unknown. If she really wants to take action, who will be the first to see the King of Hell is still in doubt. What's more, this is her base camp. She can be solved by a group fight. Why do people need to fight alone?
"I have no grudge against Gongxi, it's just that someone wants his life." Gong Cheng's dark eyes were unmoved, as if it had nothing to do with him, "To be precise, he wants the lives of the entire Gongxi clan. Anyone with this surname All will be killed."
Shen Tang frowned: "Why?"
Second question: "Who is it?"
Then came a more pointed question: "Could it be that he is the person who used [Daigo Enlightenment] to pass on his lifelong strength to you?"
Gong Chengcheng suddenly raised his eyes to look at Shen Tang. There was finally a wave of confusion in his eyes. Shen Tang pretended to be sophisticated: "What's so difficult about guessing this level? You were deposed from the Dan Mansion back then, and you were supposed to have no chance of martial arts in your life, but why? In just a few years, you have developed profound cultivation that I can't even see through. Isn't the progress of your reconstruction too fast? A brief guess will tell that there is something wrong with your strength."
The waves in Gong Cheng's eyes calmed down again.
He quietly admitted: "You guessed it right."
Gong Cheng accepted the other party's gift, and in return he helped the other party massacre the Gongxi clan. However, he used Wu Yuan's connections to investigate, and found that the Gongxi clan had been exterminated. Gong Cheng did not need to do it himself, so he had fulfilled his promise.
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he discovered that Gong Xiqiu was also from the Gongxi clan. He and Shen Tang were not acquainted with each other. Judging from the intelligence, this guy also took in a younger sister, who is now settled in Xiaocheng. She is also the leader of Kang State. , Shen Youli’s territory.
Gong Cheng let Gong Xi Lai go, not wanting to embarrass an ordinary female family member, but Gong Xi Qiu had to die. However, after Gong Xi Qiu did not lead his troops, he walked around alone all day long, and Gong Cheng couldn't find anyone even if he wanted to look for him. , so he could only come to Shen Tang.
"If Lord Kang can contact Gong Xichou, he will ask him to come to the North Desert to find me and fulfill this long-cherished wish. One-on-one, we can resolve the matter fairly and equitably. As for Gong Xi Lai, no matter which family she marries in the future, she will be considered divorced. I won’t touch the Gongxi clan.”
Shen Tang: "..."
Hahaha, why don't you kill Mr. Xi Lai?
Even if he wants to kill, he is not a decoration.
"If I can get in touch, I will tell him about this." Shen Tang agreed and then asked, "I just don't know what grudges the person who taught you [Daihu Initiation] has against the Gongxi clan? As far as I know, the Gongxi clan He has been hiding from the world."
Gong Cheng didn't hide anything.
"He was deceived by the Gongxi clan, and was seriously injured by a man named Jimo Xing and was on the verge of death. He was trapped in a place and could not get out. Seeing that his life span was about to run out, I happened to show up, and he gave me all his secret knowledge. "There is no such thing as a pie in the sky. After Gong Cheng accepted this "legacy", he had to abide by the other party's last wish. "Before he died, he asked me to swear on my courage that I would do two things for him, one of which is Destroy the Gongxi clan."
Shen Tang guessed that the other incident was related to Bei Mo, and asked: "Isn't this logically wrong? The Gongxi clan deceived him, and it was just deception, but the person who seriously injured and trapped him was the one named Jimo Xing. Why not let him Are you going to kill Jimo Xing?"
Does what Jimo did have anything to do with Gongxi?
Gong Cheng said: "Jimo Xing is dead. This person seriously injured him, and he did not benefit from it. His level has declined, and his longevity is inevitable. It's a pity that his ashes were not found."
"That doesn't mean you can destroy the human race."
Gong Cheng said: "Jimo Xing, formerly known as Gongxi Xing. The Gongxi clan has a custom that if a clan member is selected as the clan's high priest, his surname must be changed to Jimo. Therefore, this matter was done by the ancestors of the Gongxi clan from beginning to end. , not considered innocent.”
Shen Tang: "..."
I clicked my tongue in my heart——
This man named Jimo Xing didn't know how to eradicate the grassroots. He died, but his enemy survived. This left a problem for the Gongxi tribe. The Gong Cheng in front of them was not easy to kill.
Shen Tang lowered his eyes and restrained his calculations.
He sighed and said, "I didn't expect it would still be a feud between our ancestors."
Gong Cheng is now fighting for Bei Mo. Gong Xiqiu beats him. Isn't it just to help him contain Bei Mo's high-end combat power? However, Gong Cheng is now cheating. Gong Xichou now faces him. The chance of winning one on one is It was hard to say. Shen Tang wanted to drag it until Gongxiqiu to find his eldest brother and nephew who had never seen the dragon before it was seen. Then the family of three would go on stage and fight, and the chance of winning would be certain.
Wouldn't it be too shameless to fight three against one?
This is going to annihilate the entire clan, so who cares about this?
Promised again: "I will convey it to you."
Naturally, Gong Cheng didn't know Shen Tang's plan. He cupped his fists and thanked her, and then planned to leave. As soon as he turned around, he heard a strong wind coming from his ears. He raised his hand and grabbed a wine jar. Gong Cheng didn't know why. He looked at Shen Tang: "What does this mean?"
"Sending you a drink. Along the way, many old friends have left, scattered, and died. It's rare to see you, so I want to buy you a drink. It can be regarded as my apology for deceiving you back then." Shen Tang. He said, "But I didn't mean to hide it."
Gong Cheng shook his head: "It's all over."
He didn't care about it.
Shen Tang's identity has never been important.
"Kang Guozhu, farewell."
Gong Cheng accepted Shen Tang's wine.
Shen Tang: "There is also the matter of Wu Yuan..."
Gong Cheng didn't look back: "It has nothing to do with me."
Politicians are best at conspiracy.
He talks lies in his mouth, but there are not many truths in his heart. It is difficult to tell the truth from the lies, and the Shen Tang in front of him is the biggest politician in Kang State, telling lies endlessly. If he wants to find a breakthrough in himself, he plots against Wu Yuan and Bei Indifferent, I'm afraid I'll be disappointed.
There was a gust of breeze, and Gong Cheng's figure was nowhere to be seen.
Shen Tang no longer had the leisure to take a walk.
Returning to the main camp, I arranged tasks for the two incarnations of Wenqi. I rolled up my beloved goose down quilt and lay down, sleeping dreamlessly until dawn.
At noon, Wu Yuan was summoned.
"Grain seeds can be sold, but not like this."
Wu Yuan thought that Shen Tang was dissatisfied with the price and was willing to give in another 10%, but Shen Tang waved his hand: "No, no, no, it's not about the price. Just ask - will the envoy use eggs from a hen that lays eggs?" The price is to sell to others? Eggs can be sold, but hens cannot. Of course, the price of eggs means that you can only buy eggs."
Wu Yuan asked her: "What about buying hens?"
Shen Tang: "It can only be a hen that has been slaughtered."
