When Liu Buhai returned home, he was not invited to the Huainan King's banquet. He was used to it and didn't feel anything was wrong. He poured himself a glass of wine, tilted his head and poured it in, and the warm wine flowed down his throat.
When I got down, my whole body felt extremely comfortable.
"Jian'er, can you tell father why you think Su Ren can help our father and son wash away the shame?"
Liu Jian had a sad face. When he was at Su Ren's place, his father stopped him several times, and he felt very unhappy. If Liu Jian had followed Liu Jian's wishes, he should have made it clear to his face. Anyway, their father and son had lost their foothold in Huainan Kingdom.
At worst, we can follow Su Ren to Chang'an. Three hundred gold is already a lot, at least it should be enough to buy the lives of their father and son.
"Father, Su Ren is the emperor's confidant and has made great achievements in Lingnan. It would not be surprising if he returned to Chang'an and became the ninth minister. As long as Su Ren agrees to help, even if it cannot wash away the shame of our father and son, if something happens to my grandfather, you and I will
Father and son will not be implicated!"
"Pah!" Liu Buhai slammed the wine bottle onto the table: "You bastard! How can you say that about your grandfather?"
Liu Jian sneered and said: "Oh, I regard him as my grandfather, but does he regard me as his grandson? If my father's surname was not Liu, I would not even want to be named Liu."
"You are talking nonsense. Go back to your room and think about your mistakes. When will you figure it out and when will you come out!"
"My child understands very well that our father and son are aliens in the Huainan Kingdom. No one looks down on them. Just wait, one day I will make the entire Huainan Kingdom regret it!" After Liu Jian finished speaking, he turned around and walked away, leaving Liu Buyai huffing and puffing.
sitting in the lobby.
When his son forced him to go to Su Ren's place, Liu Buyu knew Liu Jian's purpose. In fact, he also wanted to see what kind of person Su Ren was, but when they met, he found out that he was just a young man in his early twenties.
Buhai's heart went cold. Even if Su Ren was as powerful as the rumors, Liu Buhai didn't believe how much help Su Ren could provide to their father and son. If it didn't work, Su Ren would just pat his ass and leave. They
Father and son have nowhere to go.
Sighing, Liu Buyai closed his eyes in pain. The price of resistance was high. When he was as old as his son Liu Jian, he had fought against his own fate with great enthusiasm. What was the result? Look at him now
The embarrassing status of Liu An becomes clear. Although he is Liu An's eldest son, not only can he not inherit the throne, but even the imperial court selects princes from various counties to be made marquis every year without Liu Buha's share. Now in his forties, he is still
It sounds so awkward to be called Young Master.
"Uncle Gui, do you think what Jian'er said is feasible?" Liu Buyu asked the old servant standing next to him while drinking without looking back.
"Hey!" Uncle Gui sighed: "What else does the young master have besides this house now? Even if the young master's method doesn't work, the worst possible outcome is that he will lose his place to live, but once it succeeds, the young master may be the next king of Huainan, and there will be nothing to lose.
The reward for losing is huge, why don’t you give it a try?”
Uncle Gui was the old man beside Liu Busha. He watched Liu Busha grow up. Over the years, no matter whether Liu Busha was in good or bad times, Uncle Gui always followed him. When Liu Busha's mother died of starvation, it was Uncle Gui who secretly followed him.
Collect his body for him to prevent it from being exposed in the wilderness.
"Do you agree?"
Uncle Gui smiled faintly: "Young master should understand me, young master. Will he listen to what you just said?"
"Hehehe, that's true. In that case, let him go through the trouble!"
Liu Jian came out of home with an angry look on his face, got on his horse and galloped wildly on the street, making the people walking and the vendors on both sides jump. Liu Jian's riding skills were very good, and no one was hurt when riding a horse in such a place.
He started rushing out of Shouchun City in front of his house, causing the people to curse. But everyone knew who Liu Jian was, and the curses only stayed with his father's generation.
Shouchun is located where the Huaihe River and the Yingshui River meet. There are big rivers on the northeast and west sides, except for the flat plain in the south. Although the south is relatively flat, it is not a completely dry land. The Jianghuai area has been a dry land since ancient times.
There is no absolute drought. There is a river every three miles, and a river every five miles. There are small streams everywhere, and it is not surprising that there are springs when you drop a pickaxe.
Liu Jian ran to the Xiaoqing River before he stopped his horse, panting, and whipped the big tree by the river. The whip was so big that a piece of bark flew away. Liu Jian thought
I yelled, but I couldn't make a sound. The suffocation in my chest made me feel uncomfortable.
"Ah...!" This shout was loud and powerful, as if he wanted to expel the depression in his chest in one breath.
"Who provoked the young master and made him so angry?" Han Qing stood not far behind Liu Jian, holding his hands and looking at Liu Jian quietly.
Liu Jian turned around and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Wei, why are you here too?"
Han Qing smiled: "My husband asked me to follow the young master if he goes out of the city. I just saw the young master riding a horse like flying, so I chased after him. I hurriedly hurriedly sweated all over before catching up.
The young master's riding skills are superb, which makes it easy for me to catch up. If I run another three to five miles, I won't be able to get back."
"Mr. Su?"
Han Qing nodded slightly: "Exactly, sir, I asked you to tell the young master that as long as the young master can trust you, everything will be easy to handle."
Liu Jian suddenly felt that there was a bright light between the sky and the earth, the sky was blue, the water was clear, and even the tree trunk that he had just whipped became more beautiful: "Mr. Su, what do you need me to do?"
Han Qing took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Liu Jian: "Sir, if the young master goes out of the city and comes to the river, he will give this bag as a gift. When he returns, he will understand after opening it."
Liu Jian quickly stopped to open the kit to find out what was going on, bowed to Han Qing respectfully, and gently put the kit into his arms: "I will remember this, Mr. Su, please rest assured that this matter is absolutely
It will not be known to outsiders."
Su Ren was so mysterious on purpose. Since everyone regarded him as a master, he had to behave like a master. Mystery was absolutely indispensable. He talked endlessly to King Huainan, and all the kings of Huainan
The disciples were speechless. They also gave Liu Jian a tip. This is what a master does. There is a nice name for it: Mystery.
The King of Huainan loves literature, literature and wine are a natural pair, and the wine of the Wangfu is naturally good for a long time. The wine of the Han Dynasty has a characteristic, the better the wine, the lighter the taste. The wine of the Prince of Huainan tastes similar to the glutinous rice of later generations, sweeter than wine
The taste is stronger. The reason why Su Ren pretended to be drunk was to show Liu An. Since he was so knowledgeable, it was normal for him to be a little wild. If he drank less, or even didn't drink at all, Liu An would be wary.
After drinking a lot, I didn’t eat much food. When I came back, I complained that I was hungry. I ate the noodles with meat, which was Su Ren’s favorite food. I put the hot noodles with the freshly steamed bacon and took a bite.
Mouth full of fragrance: "Mr. Han, can you give my tips to Liu Jian?"
Han Qing nodded: "Liu Jian was scolded by Liu Buhai at home, and he drove out of the city in anger, so I handed the tips bag to Liu Jian and told Liu Jian by the way that he knew he would leave the city and must wait for him.
Only when you leave the city can you teach me the skills."
"Haha... Mr. Han is an expert at making mysteries. In this case, Liu Jian probably regards me as a god."
"You are so talented, even if you are regarded as a god, it will not be an exaggeration."
"Eat your bread with meat!"
Han Qing also sat opposite Su Ren with a noodle cake and meat and was eating deliciously. Who would have thought that he used to be such a cautious person, but now he tasted like a rough man.
Hou Yong had already finished three, and turned around to take more, but found that Huang Shisan had the last one in his hand. Since then, the yard became lively. Man Niu is the ancestor of grabbing things, grabbing Huang Shisan's
With his hand, he took a bite first and said with a smile: "I've eaten all, do you two want more?"
Huang Shisan and Hou Yong looked at each other: "Yes!"
Su Ren ate three and Han Qing ate two. While drinking tea, he watched the three rough guys playing around in the yard.
"What's in the bag sir given to Liu Jian?"
Su Ren said differently: "You didn't see it?"
Han Qing shook his head: "Since it was given to Liu Jian by sir, I shouldn't take a peek."
Su Ren sighed: "You are really not a good spy. Now I am worried that you will bring Tiangang Disha into the ditch. As the leader of a spy, the curiosity you should have is actually much more important than your so-called etiquette.
"
Han Qing frowned and said he didn't understand. Su Ren really didn't want to tell Han Qing about the legends of spies and agents in later generations, so he patted Han Qing on the shoulder: "Let's talk about it later! In fact, there is nothing in it, just one word, broken, you can tell
It all depends on Liu Jian's understanding, as long as Liu Jian takes action, we can fish in troubled waters."
"break?"
"Yes, it means broken, a broken jar is broken, broken and then stood up, not broken but not stood up, etc. can all represent it." Su Ren took a sip of tea and continued: "I think Liu Jian will probably take risks, so I have to remind him when necessary
As soon as he does, this task will be handed over to you."
Han Qing held up his hands and said, "Here! What if Liu Jian chooses to break the jar?"
"Will he?"
Han Qing smiled and said, "Liu is not afraid of it. Liu Jian is young and energetic, so he can't help it! But Liu Jian is only a boy of eighteen or nineteen, he is still a junior. Even if he takes risks, I'm afraid he won't be able to make any waves."
Su Ren shook his head: "That's not necessarily true. Now Liu Jian's backing is us, and our backing is the imperial court. As long as the news comes out tomorrow that we and Liu Buhai will join forces to do business, Liu Jian and his son will not be able to control them even if they don't want to move.
It’s a good deal to buy a hundred gold opportunities.”
Han Qing laughed: "What you just said reminded me of an article. There is an allusion about tigers and foxes in Warring States Policy. It is appropriate to use it here, but I don't know whether we are tigers or foxes?"
"It should be a fox. You can tell by looking at my shrewd look." Su Ren narrowed his eyes and made a fox expression: "The tiger is the court and His Majesty, and we are foxes, but this fox does not protect itself, but wants to scare people.
, the rabbit has been bullied for so many years and finally found the fox as a backer, and he will also stand up and fight."
"I'm afraid that after the rabbit disturbs the forest, he himself will not be able to escape the end of being eaten."
"Hahaha!" Su Ren chuckled: "In the eyes of Mr. Han, am I just a black-hearted profiteer?" (To be continued)
