The reason why Su Ren let Guo Xie go was not because he really didn't want to kill him, but because he saw Jingjia's expression. Jingjia and Guo Xie were the same kind of people. They were both dogs in the past. When the dog lost its use,
He was ruthlessly abandoned by his master. Guo Xie was thrown out of Chang'an, and Thorns was thrown into the far north. What the two have in common is that they both survived tenaciously.
There is another difference between Thorns and Guo Xie. Guo Xie is a fool, and he has not yet seen clearly who caused him to become like this. Guo Xie always believed that it was Su Ren who hurt him, his backer, and him.
Forced into exile. But Thorns saw the reality clearly and chose another life, an unfettered life.
Su Ren really let Guo Xie go. Guo Xie is just a drowned dog now, and there is no need to add insult to injury. For this kind of person, even if another stone is thrown, no one will feel sorry for him. It is better to let him go and regard it as a good deed.
Guo Xie left, and the thorns came. After such a fuss, no one could sleep. The guards felt that they had not fulfilled their responsibilities and almost allowed Su Ren to be assassinated. The reason why Su Ren was not sleepy was that he was too scared to sleep.
It was really dangerous once. If Man Niu hadn't thrown him out at the critical moment and was stabbed by the poisonous knife, Su Ren knew the consequences very well.
Since no one is sleepy, let’s order some food and drinks and have a long chat, since it’s getting dawn anyway. Lao Li was also in the crowd just now and witnessed everything that happened. He was glad that his husband did not encounter any accident.
I hate the person who assassinated Mr. But since Mr. let him go, he can’t do it again, as this will degrade Mr.’s reputation.
Ying Guangji smiled and patted Lao Li on the shoulder: "Lao Li, why don't you go get some food and drinks? Today is a good day!" After saying that, he winked at Lao Li.
Lao Li is such a smart man. He understood what Ying Guangji meant just by looking at him. He quickly agreed and went out to arrange the food and drinks. On the way out, he took a special look at where Ying Guangji's guards were sitting.
, and found that there was really one person missing.
The wine is good, the food is good, and the most important thing is that the people who drink are good people. Although these three people are friends and have been together through life and death. But they all know that if one day they need to fight each other, no one will
If you don't give anyone face, you might be more ruthless than others.
Drinking depends on your mood and atmosphere. If you are in a good mood and have good wine, you can drink well. Unknowingly, the bottom of the three jars of Erguotou has been reached, and the thorns are still shouting at Lao Li to get the wine. Lao Li agreed and took a cup
The jar of water was placed on the table for three people, and they drank another gulp. After finishing the gulp, they all raised their thumbs to express that the wine tasted good.
It was dawn, but people were drunk. Having learned the lesson from last time, Hawking sent more people this time to stand guard in shifts for twelve hours. Although Su Ren didn't say anything, Hawking felt sorry for his elder brother. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. If
There is really a good thing and two shortcomings. Without anyone else, Huo Laosi can beat him to death and then commit suicide.
Ah Si carried a bundle into the yard with a smile. When he passed by Hawking, he showed his big yellow teeth and smiled sweetly.
"What are you doing so early?"
Ah Si just smiled and didn't say a word.
Shi Bao tugged at the corner of Huo Jin's clothes and smiled at Ah Si: "Thank you for your hard work. Let Uncle Li get you some food. After you eat, take a sleep. I guess we won't be able to leave today!"
Ah Si still had that kind of harmless smile. Shi Bao made gestures for a while, and Ah Si smiled brighter, bowed and saluted and entered the yard.
Hawking frowned: "What did that guy do so early in the morning? He brought a baggage with him, wouldn't he have to cause trouble again if he is named Winner? In Lingnan, the surnamed Winner has always made trouble for his elder brother. No, I have to go and see that guy's baggage.
What’s inside.”
Shi Bao grabbed Hawking and said, "What's so interesting about a dead head?"
"What? Dead head? Who did this guy kill?"
Shi Bao smiled: "I didn't see this kid last night. I came back early in the morning. Who do you think you're going to kill?"
Hawking thought for a moment and widened his eyes: "You mean..."
"Okay, okay, do your own thing and don't worry about it. As long as your husband is fine, no matter how much trouble you make, your husband will eventually deal with it!"
The courtyard was extremely quiet that day, and Ah Si only met Huo Jin and Shi Bao. Su Ren slept until sunset before he woke up from hunger. He drank too much and woke up with a headache. This was Su Ren
It was the first time in these years that I was so indulgent. Firstly, it was to meet friends and wash away the thorns. Secondly, it was to calm myself down. What happened last night really scared Su Ren.
It's night again, and I still can't leave, so I have to stay one more night. The moon is sixteen full on the fifteenth day, so today is the best time to appreciate the moon. Su Ren is sitting alone in the yard, Ying Guangji, Jingji and Han Qingdu
There were more than a dozen guards standing guard around. Huang Shisan and Man Niu were particularly energetic.
No wine, just some tea and cakes.
"Did you kill Guo Xie?" Su Ren suddenly asked.
Ying Guangji nodded: "Kill! Since he is an abandoned son, it is clean to kill him, lest this guy has any ideas in the future and comes out to cause trouble."
"Why bother?"
"This is all for you."
"Hehehe, are you so kind?"
Ying Guangji smiled: "Of course it's for me. You're going to Yanmen to earn money for me. If something happens to you, my money will be gone. For my money, you can still do this little thing."
.”
Su Ren nodded: "This is like winning the Young Master! You won't make trouble again this time, right? Last time in Lingnan..."
Before Su Ren could finish what he said, Ying Guangji interrupted: "The Xiongnu and I, the Qin Dynasty, are feuding. I wish they all died!"
"Oh? Don't you have any people among the Huns?"
Ying Guangji chuckled twice: "You can't talk about this matter, and don't ask. If you want to help me, just tell me. If you can, I will definitely help."
Jingjie was not in the mood to listen to these two people talking. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He felt that drinking was more comfortable, so he went to Lao Li and asked for a drink. Moon viewing in spring is pure nonsense. No one understands why Su Ren has such an idea. Yard
There was a strong wind inside, and it was still very cold on the body. When the thorns came back, Ying Guangji and Han Qing had already been frozen away.
Jingji put down the wine bottle and looked around: "Why are you looking for me? Do you know that my appearance is very expensive!"
"Tell me, I'll give you a price."
"There are ten wives and thirty-two children in the family. The oldest is fifteen and the youngest is still in infancy. It is not a small number to support so many people. I don't have ten thousand yuan a month. I won't do it!"
"Ten thousand dollars?!" Su Ren looked at the thorns and laughed: "You are much more ruthless than Young Master Ying!"
Jingjie laughed loudly: "Last time I went to Lingnan with you, and I only brought a dozen carts of food back. Xiaoliu said it was a loss, but after thinking about it, it seems that it was really a loss."
"Who is Xiaoliu? Your son?"
A blush suddenly appeared on Jingjiang's face, and his whole person brightened up: "He is the one in my family, ranked sixth, so he is called Xiaoliu."
"Oh, this is a good idea. You can't tell who is who by using numbers instead of provinces!"
"She has a name, Cuihua!"
"Pfft...!" Su Ren spit out a sip of tea: "Cuihua? Who gave her this name!"
Jingji glared at Su Ren: "Just laugh! My parents gave me my name, and Cuihua sounds pretty good."
After talking about Cuihua, Su Ren and Jingji started talking about business. Since we want to do business, we must ensure the smooth flow of business routes. It is a thousand miles from Chang'an to Yanmen. Although they are all within the territory of the Han Dynasty, it is a pity that it is still not peaceful. The size of the Taihang Mountains
There were hundreds of bandits, ranging from a dozen to one or two hundred. These people were a threat. Su Ren could of course send troops through the court to suppress them, but the effect would definitely not be good.
The problem of bandits must be solved through banditry. According to Su Ren's idea, it is better to send troops to suppress it than to send people to sneak in. If the bandits can be organized, it will be beneficial without any harm. Not only can it guarantee its own trade routes
With the smooth flow, he could also monopolize the entire trade route. After much thought, he realized that the people around him were not suitable for this job, so he finally focused on the thorns.
"This is a way, but you also know that these people are bandits. If your family is the only one left on the entire business road, what will they do in the future?" Jingjie can still see far away.
"Come out! There is a vast grassland outside the wall, and there are endless Huns to kill. As long as they are willing, they can do whatever they want."
"You want me to take them to attack the Huns?" Jingji immediately shook his head in opposition.
Su Rendao: "Attack? Just a group of bandits attacking the Xiongnu can only be regarded as harassment at best. In addition, as long as you can unite these people, even your troops, as long as the big men don't mess around, they can go wherever they want."
!Having taken in so many women and children, do you have to think about their future? With your status, it may not be easy for you to integrate into the Han Dynasty, otherwise you would not live in Tianshui."
"What else do you want to do? I have to be careful when talking to you!"
"I'm not doing anything, I'm just giving you a chance."
"what chance?"
"How about a chance to settle down and become a king? Can my friend do it well?"
Jingjia looked at Su Ren with two eyes, his eyes were deep, as if he wanted to see into Su Ren's heart. Su Ren was still smiling, and Jingjia couldn't believe what Su Ren said. Suddenly he seemed to understand something, and glanced at Su Ren.
He glanced at Su Ren: "First tell me what you can give me?"
"Food, soldiers, armor, and reinforcements if necessary!"
"Are you so sure that I will listen to you? What if one day I become so powerful that I become another Huns?"
Su Ren shook his head: "Absolutely not. You won't have that chance either. I can still be sure of this."
"Last question, why don't you find Young Master Ying?"
Su Ren smiled slightly: "What do you think?"
Jingjia didn't speak, and sat there quietly looking at the moon in the sky for a long time. Su Ren took Jingjia's wine bottle, poured himself a glass, picked up both wine glasses, and handed the one in his right hand to Jingjia: "
Brother Jing, can I have a drink now?" (To be continued)
