Ma Jiang looked at the young man sitting in front of him, snorted in his heart, and looked away.
"What did Zhang Qing ask you to do?" He asked without any politeness, and with a wary look on his face, "How did you get in?"
Yangzhou is now surrounded by the soldiers and horses of Mrs. Chu. The Xin soldiers fought to the death with a single force before sending them out. It is not known whether they succeeded or not, and there is no news from the outside. How did he get in?
"Master Zhang didn't ask me to come." Lian Xiaojun shook his head, "Sir, I have been in the city all the time."
The city of Yangzhou is too big, and it is impossible for Ma Jiang to know everyone in the city.
"I came to Yangzhou City to do business." Lian Xiaojun continued to explain.
Zhang Qing's male favorite went around amassing money in the name of doing business and made a lot of money. Ma Jiang heard from his subordinates that it was with this money that he gave Andezhong a big gift. The last time he went to report the news, not only did he not
He lost his life, but brought back a supporting force.
What kind of business can he do? This is not a prosperous and chaotic time. Ma Jiang glanced at Lian Xiaojun and snorted again in his heart. It’s not like he has never seen the world before. He has seen spending a lot of money for a red-card courtesan.
Also done...
In today's troubled times, women are worthless. Are they worth anything if they are replaced by men?
"Then your business sense is not very good." Ma Jiang laughed, looking at Lian Xiaojun.
I wonder if such a beauty can make Mrs. Chu's troops disarm and retreat? Just send her to be one of the first batch of human shields, just like those female human shields, to make the soldiers happy before they die.
Women have played it, men have played it, and they will have no regrets even if they die.
A smile spread across Ma Jiang's face, and the malice in his smile made the generals beside him shiver.
"It's too late to go out now." He reminded Lian Xiaojun.
Stop making such childish requests. Zhang Qing’s name is not easy to use. He is just a subordinate of Ma Jiang. No matter how beautiful he is, it is of no use to Ma Jiang, who is facing despair of life and death. On the contrary, it will stimulate him to destroy these beautiful things.
.
"I didn't want to leave the city." Lian Xiaojun said with a smile, looking at the general with eyes as gentle as the spring breeze, full of gratitude.
The general quickly turned his eyes away, craning his neck to listen to Lian Xiaojun continue to speak.
"I came to Yangzhou City to do business. I have been waiting in the city for so long and I just got a big deal. How could I leave?"
Is there still business in Yangzhou City now? Ma Jiang thought in his heart that this was how Lian Xiaojun died, and he said, neither salty nor cool: "I wonder who still has business?"
Who's brave? Let's go get a batch of meat shields together.
Lian Xiaojun said: "Of course it is you, sir."
Ma Jiang couldn't hold back his imagination, and suddenly he lost his beauty. He threw the cup angrily: "Come here with me and tell me if you have anything to say!"
Broken porcelain from the teacup splashed on Lian Xiaojun's body. He had been frightened in many ways in his life, but he had never been humiliated like this. He covered his face with his hands and shrugged...
Cried?
Ma Jiang's anger was dampened and his face turned red.
"I'm not that idiot Zhang Qing! Why are you crying with me? Someone's here!" he shouted, reaching out and patting the knife beside him, "Drag him out and kill him."
Lian Xiaojun raised his head, with no tears but a smile, as bright as spring and as bright as summer flowers.
"Your Excellency treats me like a normal person and is not fascinated by my appearance." He said, "Even if I die now, I will finally look like a human being in this life."
Ma Jiang's brows were furrowed, his face full of anger, but the hand holding the knife was so suppressed by the smile that he could not lift it up.
"What's wrong with you!" he shouted.
But he understood what Lian Xiaojun meant. This Lian Xiaojun was beautiful, but when a man saw him, he didn't treat him as a human being. He treated him as a coveted plaything, coaxed, coaxed, and pampered with good words, good food, and good drinks.
, but he, Ma Jiang, was not fooled by his appearance, and did not have a good look towards Lian Xiaojun. He did not want to be his favorite, but instead shouted to beat and kill him.
Ma Jiang snorted in his heart, his face became more solemn, but the anger between his brows disappeared.
"Don't worry, you'll be dead soon," he said.
There were soldiers outside the door who heard the shouting and ran in. The general waved to them to leave, but Ma Jiang didn't say anything.
Lian Xiaojun sat upright and said with an upright expression: "The business I want to do is to buy your connections."
Ma Jiang sneered. Although the general did not sneer, even Xiao Jun looked sympathetic. Facing death, the beauty went crazy.
They actually all understand what connections mean. Even Xiaojun treating Zhang Qing as his backer is not as good as treating Ma Jiang as his backer.
But now, when people are dying and their backers are about to fall, what’s the use of connections.
Ma Jiang said: "Okay, let's do it. How much will you pay?"
Lian Xiaojun said: "The price of connections is immeasurable, so I barter."
What he said was serious, so Ma Jiang also said seriously: "What do you want in exchange for it?"
Lian Xiaojun looked at Ma Jiang: "My lord's life."
The general was startled. Ma Jiang had already grabbed the knife, unsheathed it and pointed it at Lian Xiaojun: "Who are you? Do you want to persuade him to surrender?"
Even Xiaojun traveled around doing business, and Mrs. Chu Guo on Huainan Road also got involved.
Ma Jiang looked at him warily. He was a strong-willed, talented and strategic man who could not be deceived by him, but others could not be sure. If the people around him were deceived...
"I'm a businessman. What can I do to persuade you to surrender?" Lian Xiaojun did not retreat. "I know a secret passage that leads to the outside of the city."
The knife was pressed against his chest and moved forward, and blood seeped into his thin white summer shirt.
Ma Jiang sneered: "Then Mrs. Chu's soldiers and horses are waiting for me? You can do business with me, and of course you can do business with her. Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"
Lian Xiaojun said: "I can do business with adults, and indeed I can also do business with Mrs. Chu. Different people have different businesses. The two of you are two businesses. I can do two businesses, so why not?"
Want to make one?"
What do you mean? Ma Jiang frowned. This guy didn't flatly deny or state that he was not involved with Mrs. Chu. Instead, he showed that he didn't mind doing business with Mrs. Chu...
"Rescue the Lord, he is a loyal person of Ande. With this network, I will be able to do more business in the future." Lian Xiaojun said, "Leave the Lord to Mrs. Chu, I can indeed get Mrs. Chu.
However, I have also cut off my connections with you. There are many people in the world and there is a lot of business, so why should I have to do a dead-end business?"
It turned out that he wanted to hook up with the young governor. Ma Jiang suddenly realized that he even wanted to hook up with Ankang Mountain. In other words, he wanted to hook up with everyone and would not offend anyone. He would do business with anyone who had interests, pursuing profits rather than justice.
.
"It turns out that Mr. Lian is really a businessman." Ma Jiang took back the knife, smiled half-heartedly, and sat back on the chair, "No need, Yangzhou City has a population of hundreds of thousands, and Mrs. Chu cannot kill her, so I don't need to run away."
Lian Xiaojun shook his head and said: "Once or twice, the people are allowed to be driven by adults, but since the road ahead is death and death, everyone will not submit obediently. Those people have defected in front of the battle today. If these hundreds of thousands of people are here
What about the riots in the city?"
As soon as these words came out, Ma Jiang and the deputy general's expressions changed.
Although the people in the city are as defenseless as pigs and sheep, if the pigs and sheep are really crazy, the large number of people will be really scary. At other times, there is an army of Lady Chu outside besieging the city, waiting eagerly...
"How do you know there is a passage in the city?" Ma Jiang asked.
Lian Xiaojun smiled and said: "I am a businessman. I do all kinds of business. I also bought the secret of this passage, so I stayed in Yangzhou City and waited to sell it."
This sounded a little awkward, as if he was just waiting for the day when he would be besieged. Ma Jiang frowned.
"How many people can pass through a passage?" He said calmly, "If I go out like this, it will be no different from death."
After losing the city of Yangzhou and being driven out of Huainan Road, and without tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, he was a waste in the eyes of Ande Zhong.
Ande Zhong and his son do not raise waste.
Lian Xiaojun said: "Tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, besieged on all sides, and ready to show their strength. This kind of hero is not common, and not everyone can have this ability."
