Zan Buliu was chatting and laughing with a Dangyi businessman when he saw a man walking straight towards him. He raised his eyes and was quite surprised. Although Hu Xiaotian was now disguised, he had always looked like this when he was in Yongdu.
I have visited Zan Buliu before, so Zan Buliu is not unfamiliar with his face.￡∝
Hu Xiaotian raised his voice and said: "Brother Zan, we haven't seen each other in Yongdu for several months. I didn't expect that we would meet again at the frontier. Haha, you and I are really destined!"
Zan Buliu's expression looked extremely strange, and he forced out a smile: "Your Majesty..." Before he finished speaking, he was met with the other party's sharp eyes, and Zan Buliu laughed, with unspeakable embarrassment in his laughter.
. He cupped his fists and bowed deeply. Hu Xiaotian also returned the salute and said with a smile: "Is Prince Yan also with Brother Zan?"
Zan Buliu whispered: "I have no contact with King Yan for a long time."
Hu Xiaotian nodded and looked around.
Zan Buliu immediately said: "I came here to do business in Yulan Country. I happened to pass by Guixu, so I came to join in the fun and see if there were any rare goods. I didn't expect that I would encounter them in this frontier fortress.
Arrive at Mr. Hu."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Brother Zan, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought you came to see me specially."
Zan Buliu coughed dryly and said, "I heard that the young master is getting married in May. I thought that the young master was busy preparing for the wedding."
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "I wanted someone to send you an invitation, but I met you here and I just happened to tell you directly. You must love me then!"
Zan Buliu nodded repeatedly and said: "Definitely, definitely! Zan came back from Yulan Country and went directly to attend the young master's wedding."
At this time, Zongtang and others also came over. Zanbuliu knew most of them, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart, when did Hu Xiaotian also win over Zongtang. His charm was indeed extraordinary. Zanbuliu took the initiative.
Xiang invited: "Mr. Hu, my camp is not far away. If you are free, why don't you condescend to move over? How about we drink and reminisce?"
Hu Xiaotian happily agreed and gathered everyone to go to Zan Buliu's camp.
He waved to Visa, who came to him on horseback. Hu Xiaotian used voice transmission to enter the secret passage: "Zan Buliu is an old cunning guy. I'll look for an opportunity to control his mind later. I'll ask him something."
Visa smiled lightly at Hu Xiaotian, with infinite grace.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Visa's rosy little face and bulging little chest, his heart felt hot, and he used voice transmission to enter the secret passage: "Are you clean tonight?"
Visa blushed and bit her lips, hummed slightly, whipped the horse, and quickly ran forward to catch up with Tang Qingxuan.
Hu Xiaotian looked at Wei Sa's figure happily, and Zong Tang rushed up behind him, saying in a low voice: "Zan Buliu is a very extraordinary person. His Xinglong halls are all over the world, and his strength is one of the few in Dayong."
Hu Xiaotian said calmly: "How can you manage to such an extent without any background?" Ever since he knew that Zan Buliu and Xue Shengjing were colluding with each other, he gradually understood why Zan Buliu was able to accumulate such astonishing wealth. There was something behind it.
King Yan Xue Shengjing supported it, and Zan Buliu could do it for him if it was inconvenient for Xue Shengjing to do it. This guy was actually an official businessman. Now I think of how Zan Buliu dared to secretly operate and make huge profits when Da Yong was blocking the economy from Da Kang.
It's not without reason. Without a strong enough backing, who would dare to do such a secretive thing? However, Zan Buliu has never done anything that endangers his own interests. Even if he concealed something about Xue Shengjing's relationship, he was still in a situation where
interests needs.
Zan Buliu's camp is only three miles away from the market, with a vast expanse as far as the eye can see. On the grassland like a green sea, there are more than 20 tents dotted, and there are nearly fifty vehicles and horses outside the tents. The size of Zan Buliu's business group
Not small.
Zan Buliu ordered people to light a bonfire on the grassland, slaughter cattle and sheep, and entertain Hu Xiaotian and his party.
When he was half drunk, Zan Buliu said, "Why did Mr. Hu come to Ankang Grassland this time?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "Brother Zan, haven't you heard about the recent robbery and murder case that happened here?"
Zan Buliu frowned and said: "I have heard that a caravan of three hundred people was attacked in Ankang Grassland. Everyone was killed. The horse thieves robbed all the goods and left
There were nearly three hundred headless corpses." At this point, he paused and whispered: "Could that be your caravan?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded.
Only then did Zan Buliu understand why Hu Xiaotian came here, and sighed: "I have been on this trade road countless times. Even if there are horse thieves, they rarely kill people. After all, thieves have their ways. I think this time maybe
It’s not just as simple as making money.”
Hu Xiaotian said: "It should be revenge."
Zan Buliu asked: "Who is so bold as to dare to go against Mr. Hu?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "There are too many blind people in this world. I have offended many people over the years, and there are many who want to take revenge on me." He glanced at Zan Buliu and said: "I want to find someone who can be trusted.
It’s not easy to make friends, but it’s much easier to find a few enemies.”
Zan Buliu heard something in his words and picked up the wine bowl, only to find that it was empty.
Hu Xiaotian winked, and Visa took the initiative to pick up the copper pot and pour wine for Zan Buliu.
Zan Buliu was quite flattered. When his eyes came into contact with Visa, he felt that Visa's beautiful dark blue eyes were extremely clear, but they were impossible to see through. From the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but want to spy on her through her eyes.
In his inner thoughts, he couldn't look away from Visa's eyes for a moment.
In fact, it is definitely impolite for a host to look at a guest's female family like this. Hu Xiaotian kept his expression, and the others stayed far away because Hu Xiaotian and Zan Buliu were talking, so they didn't know what was going on here.
Visa said softly: "Why don't you drink, Mr. Zan?"
Zan Buliu murmured: "Drink...drink..." His eyes were blurred, and at this time, his mind was blurry and blank.
Hu Xiaotian used voice transmission to enter the secret passage: "You ask him what his relationship is with Xue Shengjing?"
Visa nodded and asked softly: "What is your relationship with King Xue Shengjing of Yan?"
Zan Buliu said: "We have cooperated for many years. All this time, I have been working openly and secretly with him. He has settled matters in the court for me, and I have been responsible for solving the problems that it is inconvenient for him to come forward."
Hu Xiaotian smiled slightly. From Zan Buliu's words, it can be concluded that he has been lost in consciousness by Visa, and everything he says now is not controlled by his brain at all.
Visa smiled at Hu Xiaotian, because Zan Buliu has a strong willpower, it is best for her to control the questions herself, and asked according to Hu Xiaotian's words: "What is the reason for your coming this time?"
Zan Buliu said: "I was ordered by the prince to go to Yulan Country to solve some matters for him."
"Where is the prince now?"
"I don't know. Your Majesty is cautious in doing things. I only know that he left Yongdu. As for the specific where, I don't know."
"Who was Tang Tiehan's cavalry robbed and killed?"
Zan Buliu shook his head: "I don't know."
Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but frown. It seemed that Zan Buliu might not really know that his purpose was to go to Yulan Country and happened to pass by this place.
Visa said: "What are you doing in Yulan Country?"
Zan Buliu said: "Your Majesty asked me to find someone."
"who?"
Zan Buliu said: "Huo Xiaoru!"
Hu Xiaotian was shocked. Huo Xiaoru actually went to Yulan Country, which was an unexpected gain. He already knew that Xue Shengjing and Huo Xiaoru were actually father and daughter, but Huo Xiaoru avoided him in Bohai Country, but he didn't know why.
?
Visa said: "What are you looking for her for?"
Zan Buliu shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Anyway, the prince gave me something and said she would understand if I showed it to her."
"Where is that thing now?"
Zan Buliu took out a jade tablet. On the surface, there was nothing special about the jade tablet. However, upon closer inspection, there were many dense characters engraved on it. Hu Xiaotian did not recognize the characters. Visa was proficient in many languages, but
She was also confused and shook her head at Hu Xiaotian, indicating that she didn't recognize the words above at all.
Hu Xiaotian went over and took a closer look. He felt that the words on it were somewhat similar to those on the hilt of a lightsaber. Could it be that Xue Shengjing and Huo Xiaoru could communicate with each other using this kind of words? If this was true, would Huo Xiaoru already know about it?
With so little truth, no wonder she would hide from him.
Zan Buliu frowned at this time, obviously trying his best to fight against external forces. This kind of person whose mind is controlled by the soul-obsessing technique is as if he is in a dream. Zan Buliu has a shrewd mind and a very strong willpower. If it weren't for Visa's compulsion,
It is difficult to control him after he has cultivated soul skills to a certain level. Even so, he will fight against it subconsciously.
If Visa insists on controlling him, he can still control him for a while, but he is worried that if he takes too long, he will be noticed. Moreover, the things that should be asked have basically been asked, and there is no need to continue to control him. Hu Xiaotian nodded, and Visa immediately picked up the
A copper kettle.
Hu Xiaotian deliberately punched Zan Buliu on the arm and said with a smile: "Brother Zan? Brother Zan!"
Zan Buliu woke up as if from a dream, still staring at Visa, who lowered his head in shame. Only then did Zan Buliu realize that he had lost his composure, coughed twice in embarrassment, and was about to explain.
Hu Xiaotian said to Zan Buliu: "Visa is my concubine, but I have never treated her as a servant."
Zan Buliu's old face turned red with embarrassment. His words clearly meant his displeasure. It's no wonder that any woman would be unhappy if someone stared at her like that. Zan Buliu hurriedly said: "I'm shocked."
Human beings are astonished to heaven, Mr. Hu is so lucky, so lucky." After Hu Xiaotian's interruption, this guy just thought that he was losing his temper and didn't even think that he had been raped just now.
However, Hu Xiaotian did not give him a good look. He stood up and said, "After eating and drinking, it's time for us to say goodbye."
Zan Buliu hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Hu Xiaotian had already walked away. Looking at the backs of Hu Xiaotian and his group, Zan Buliu sighed inwardly. He was really rude today. He had seen countless beauties in his life, but he had never been so rude in the past.
