I wish all the hot-blooded men in the world a happy day! Today is a good day, August 1st! August 1st! August 1st! Say important things three times.

Mo Cong and Shao Weng were sitting in the pavilion again. Today they did not drink wine, but drank tea. It is said that this tea is produced in the middle of Sichuan. When soaked in a transparent cup, you can see needle-like tea leaves rising and falling in the water.
.They have no palace maids or chamberlains to serve them today, only Mo Yu and Luan Da are around.
Looking at the tea leaves floating in the water, Mo Cong was very curious: "I don't know how such tea leaves are made. Maojian's name is not good. It should be named something more elegant."
Shao Weng has no research on tea, and he doesn’t like to drink such a bland and bitter thing. In his opinion, making tea should make people have endless aftertaste. After one sip, the tip of the tongue will be bitter, the base of the tongue will be sweet, and the left side of the tongue will be sour.
, the right side of the tongue is salty, and the middle of the tongue is pungent, so that all five flavors are more in line with the way of heaven, the way of humanity, the earth, and the five elements. It is not just the bitter taste, which completely destroys the original taste of tea.
"It's just a clever trick, nothing surprising!"
Mo Cong chuckled twice, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. He closed his eyes and carefully savored the aroma of the tea: "Those Han merchants who are still on Su Ren's side these days must have also experienced the pain. Is it time to go further?"
?”
Shao Weng snorted: "There are only a dozen households left now. These people have all their goods in their hands. It won't be long before they all leave Su Ren."
Mo Cong shook his head: "That's not what you said. Since they didn't leave at the first time, it means that these people have no intention of leaving Su Ren. Even if we wait any longer, there will be no results. It's better to keep them together."
It will be less troublesome to deal with, and the merchants who will come back in the future will be completely in our hands."
Shao Weng thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's fine, I'll go get ready now!"
Mo Cong quickly grabbed Shao Weng and said, "Brother Shao, why are you in such a hurry? It's not too late to drink this cup of tea."
"I never want to see that boy with a hairless mouth, like a eunuch, and I wish I could tear him alive right now!" Shao Weng waved his sleeves, and the wind he brought opened Mo Cong's hands, and he strode towards him.
Walking outside the garden, Luan Da quickly followed.
When I walked to the door of the moon, a charming and beautiful woman came out with a baby who was learning to talk. Seeing Shao Weng coming, she quickly bowed and saluted: "My little girl, meet your father!"
Shao Weng snorted: "The queen is exempt from the courtesy, the king has nothing to do, right?"
The beautiful woman nodded and smiled: "It's okay. I have been locked up in the main hall these days. Apart from eating and drinking, I am never allowed to have contact with outsiders. The people sent by my daughter to deliver meals are also close friends, so there will be no problems."
"
"That's good! Don't come here when you have nothing to do. You are the queen now, and hanging around with us will cause problems for those in Shanshan Kingdom."
"No! My daughter has remembered it!" The beautiful woman stood up and glanced at Luan Da inadvertently.
Shao Weng glanced at it and waved to Luan Da. Luan Da nodded and saluted and followed the beautiful woman out of the Moon Gate first. An old man, a young man, a woman and a child came out of the garden. Mo Cong laughed. Every time he saw
He couldn't help but smile at these people. Speaking of which, he had done this kind of thing before, but no one did it well like Shao Weng.
A king who was cuckolded, an apprentice who was the queen's concubine, and a grandfather who openly claimed to be his father. This kind of relationship was really messy. Mo Cong also envied Shao Weng. Compared to his age, he was no older than that Shao Weng.
How much, but the gap in some things is really too big. I can't even stand up and sit up, but others can give birth to a son, and there is no room for reasoning.
Seeing that Mo Yu was still looking at the Moon Gate, Mo Cong coughed and motioned for Mo Yu to sit down: "There are some things that we can't do, so we should let others do it. This can offset the sins in our hearts. Since the first generation of giants
Since we were issued a strict order not to commit adultery, we Mohists have never committed it. Why? Just because when it is inconvenient for us, we will leave it to those who are convenient to do it. The same goes for other things, do you understand?"
Mo Yu nodded and looked back at the Moon Gate. Mo Cong sighed: "Okay, go and do what you should do. This matter is important, so there must be no mistakes."
Su Ren did not leave the inn or his room for three days in a row. Except for Han Qing, no one had seen Su Ren's face during these three days. Lao Wang was even more anxious. Things had changed and he could not make up his mind.
.Starting from this morning, after the tax collectors came, more than a dozen Hu merchants and their men smashed Lao Wang and his stall to pieces, and said harsh words, telling the Han people to get out of Shanshan.
When the Shanshan Kingdom's officials arrived, those barbarian merchants had long since disappeared. Moreover, those officials also detained some goods and a few clerks on the pretext of deliberately causing trouble. Of course, this kind of thing did not only happen to his family, Lao Wang.
All the merchants who were still following Su Ren were in ordinary circumstances. However, the merchants who had secretly left Su Ren and the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce were not included in this group.
"Mr. Han, what are you thinking about Mr. Su? If he doesn't come out, we won't be able to continue our business!" Lao Wang was also beaten around, and his entire left eye was blue. In just a few days,
Lao Wang has aged more than ten years and looks almost like a man in his fifties or sixties.
Han Qing poured a glass of water for Lao Wang: "Shopkeeper Wang, don't worry, Mr. Wang has already made a plan. Since something like this happened today, don't go out again tomorrow, and wait for a few days before talking."
"Hey! That's all we have to do. Mr. Han still needs to talk to Mr. Su. We are coming to the Western Regions this time to do business. We are still waiting at Yumen, and we can't afford to waste time!"
Han Qing nodded and sent Lao Wang out, constantly comforting him along the way, and finally sending Lao Wang away. As soon as Lao Wang left, another waiter rushed in and almost knocked Han Qing down. Before Huang Shisan could get angry,
, the clerk’s tears were already streaming down his face: “Sir, please save my shopkeeper!”
Lao Wang helped the waiter up and looked at him twice: "Whose waiter are you?"
"The villain is Shopkeeper Sun, the shopkeeper Sun's clerk who buys silk."
"Oh, what's wrong with your shopkeeper?"
"Yesterday, my shopkeeper was invited to have a banquet, but there was no one there at noon today. I have searched all over Qianni City and still can't find him. I was really anxious, so I came to see Mr. Su. I hope Mr. Su will take care of my house.
Since the shopkeeper is also a merchant from the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, please save me."
Han Qing frowned: "Who did your shopkeeper have a banquet with yesterday?"
"Shopkeeper Hong Cheng Hong, as well as some other shopkeepers, have all returned safely. Only my shopkeeper is nowhere to be seen."
Han Qing smiled slightly: "Mr. Su caught wind and cold today and is resting. Let's do this. I will inform Mr. Su as soon as possible. You can go back and check on your shop owner's stall. If that doesn't work, bring your people here. Shopkeeper Sun
I will report the matter immediately, remember not to mention it to anyone, do you understand?"
The waiter hurriedly saluted: "I understand, I understand! I understand!"
Returning to Su Ren's room again, Han Qing was a little worried. It was not that he couldn't guess the cause and root of these things, but based on his wisdom, he felt that there was no way to deal with it. The two old men hiding in the palace had already taken action.
He knew that among the people in Hongcheng, he was the only one who refused to join in the trouble. Unexpectedly, something happened that night.
Su Ren was wearing furs and sitting around the brazier. The weather was too cold and flames were already coming out of the brazier. His hands and feet were still cold from the cold: "What? It's only been half a day and you can't cover it anymore?"
Han Qing shook his head and sighed: "Things have gone beyond what I expected. Those two old guys have gone crazy!"
"They are madmen to begin with. You can't think about it with normal people's thinking. In my opinion, you still lack experience. When you were under King Hengshan, you were just talking on paper and never really made the decision on anything. I have been deliberately thinking about it these years.
If you are left to act alone, it seems that you are far behind your ancestors."
Han Qing smiled and shook his head: "The reputation of our ancestors is well known to the world, so I am not in a hurry! Starting today, I sent people to smash shopkeeper Wang and his stalls, and robbed shopkeeper Sun. I have asked shopkeeper Wang and others to go first
I need to rest for a few days, but Shopkeeper Sun is in someone else’s hands. If I don’t rescue him, I might not be able to account to the merchants of the Shuzhong Chamber of Commerce.”
"Then save it! I've given Tiangang Disha to you, just use them when you want to use them."
"Do we really want to use them? We are not familiar with the place in the Western Region, and this is the only secret power!"
Su Ren smiled: "The purpose of transferring all 108 Tiangang Disha people to the Western Region is to deal with today's situation. Why not use it? It's not easy to rely on our superficial people, let alone what we are compared with those two old guys.
The power of darkness.”
"Then..."
"If you want to let them out, let them all out. Only by muddying the water in Qianni City can we have a chance. It's so clear-cut that it's not a good thing for two old guys to be hiding from us."
Han Qing nodded: "I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."
Qianni City is not a big city. Take the palace of King Shanshan as an example. It is not even comparable to a rich man's mansion in Chang'an. The Shanshan Kingdom has a total of 113,000 people, more than 30,000 soldiers, and 710 officials.
Nine people. Except for the soldiers stationed on the border, the total number of soldiers and servants left in Qianni City was only less than ten thousand. Moreover, they were all in rags and had a low morale.
If Su Ren sees it, such an army has no ability to protect Qianni City. Let alone a thousand old guards in his hands, he would dare to attack Shanshan Kingdom even with only 500, and the chance of victory is 80%. Su Ren = Wait
He has not been idle in the house for the past few days. He is studying the news sent by Tiangang Disha. He has basically figured out that there are less than 300 Mohists left in Qianni City, and Fang Xiandao is even less. If they really fight
When a war breaks out, it's no problem for the two old guys to escape. It's just a joke to expect them to defend the city. I don't know what the King of Shanshan is thinking!
He shouted to the door, and Manniu pushed the door open and came in. Su Ren handed a piece of paper in his hand to Manniu: "Go, take it to Zhang Ji Mutton Shop in the east of the city, and tell the thin shopkeeper to follow the instructions."
Take care of things above."
Manniu agreed and didn't ask what it was about. He took the piece of paper with both hands and turned around and walked out the door. Su Ren continued to write quickly, and after a while, several pieces of paper came out of the room and were given to the walls of the city.
The old man selling firewood, a widow with a half-open door in the east of the city, and the first butcher in the west of the city. As for the content written above, there is only one sentence, get up early tomorrow. (To be continued)
