No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 490 Tantai Feng's Intention
"Madam Jiang?" Tantai Feng frowned and said, "What is she here for?"

Tan Taifeng and his group lived in the General's Mansion with Gu Jue yesterday, because Luo Junyao left the city with overlapping shadows and did not return, so the people in the General's Mansion arranged for them.

Among them, of course, is the current wife of the general's mansion, Mrs. Han.

Tan Taifeng has no objection to the Han family, after all, they are guests, and they are also considerate and considerate to them, and there is no place to neglect them.

It's just that she is used to being unrestrained and unrestrained, and she usually meets people who are not very particular, so she naturally has nothing in common with these high-ranking court officials and their families.

Especially that Mrs. Jiang, she looked very weak and timid, Tan Taifeng was afraid that he would frighten her by speaking loudly.

In addition, a few girls around said that the servants of the general's mansion always inquired about their affairs, which made Tantai Feng somewhat uncomfortable.

The girl at the door smiled and said, "It is said to bring some snacks to the island owner."

People have said so, so naturally there is no reason to keep people out.

Tan Taifeng could only say: "Please come in."

After a while, the Han family came in with someone. Seeing Luo Junyao sitting in the yard, he was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly went forward to bow his knees and salute, "I have seen the regent princess."

Luo Jun shook his head and smiled, "Mrs. Han doesn't need to be polite."

Han's expression darkened slightly, biting the corner of his lips and not speaking.

Tan Taifeng looked a bit puzzled, and it was not easy to ask, so he could only say: "Madam Lao, we bother you a lot in the general's mansion, so don't be so polite."

Only then did Mrs. Han remember her reason for coming, and turned around to take the food box from the girl behind her, saying, "Miss Tantai, you are welcome, the visitor is a guest. If there is any negligence, please don't blame me. This is prepared by me. Some snacks, girls, don’t be disgusted.”

Tan Taifeng took it and put it on the table, said with a smile: "Where, you are being polite."

"..." After exchanging pleasantries, Tantai Feng didn't know what else to say.She has never understood boudoir gossip, but she also knows that what she knows is not suitable for such a woman.

Han Shi didn't seem to have anything to say, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.

Tan Taifeng looked at Luo Junyao, who was holding a teacup with a smile, and sat next to him, smiled at Mrs. Han and said, "Madam, is there anything else?"

Han shook her head quickly and said: "No...no, I won't bother Wangfei and Miss Tantai anymore, so I will leave now."

Tantai Feng sent the man out of the courtyard gate with a smile, then turned back and said to Luo Jun, "What does this mean?"

Luo Junyao curiously opened the lid of the food box, and there were only some ordinary snacks inside.

"Nothing interesting? You are a guest. They come to see if you live well. What's the problem?" Luo Jun shook his head.

Tantai Feng shook his head and said: "I always feel that Mrs. Jiang looks at me a little strangely, a little hesitant to speak. Could it be that there is something that you are embarrassed to say here?"

Luo Jun shrugged and smiled, "It's really possible, why don't I go back first and see if she will come to look for you again?"

"Forget it." Tantai Feng hurriedly shook his head and said, "I always feel that what she wants to say is absolutely beyond my control."

Luo Junyao wanted to say, you may be thinking too much.She might just think that you have something to do with Gu Jue, and she just wants to please you and build a good relationship with you.

"Then let's ignore her business. What Sister Tantai said just now... Tantai's family is well-known in the South China Sea. Even if Sister Tantai doesn't seek me, I still want to cooperate with you."

"Oh?" Tantai Feng became interested, and instantly put Han's matter behind him.

Luo Jun said: "I do have some plans, but now Tantai sister has also seen it, I can't get away, those plans are also in Shangyong, and I can't tell clearly just by talking."

Tantai Feng raised his eyebrows and said: "So, I still have to wait for you to finish dealing with the affairs in the north, and go back to Shangyong with you?"

Luo Jun said with a smile: "You don't need to be so troublesome. My little uncle is handling the preliminary work. Sister Tantai can go back to my little uncle to discuss it."

Tantai Feng raised his eyebrows and said: "I remember, you haven't seen your little uncle in all these years, right?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said with great anticipation: "I got married earlier, but my little uncle didn't come. Later, I sent someone to send a letter to Shangyong, saying that he was going to sea. Isn't my little uncle very good-looking?"

"It's pretty." Tantai Feng said with a smile, "But it doesn't look like you."

Nonsense, it would be a tragedy if she looked like her.

Her current appearance is very good on a woman, exquisite and beautiful, and can fool people, except that she lacks the bright and charming charm that she likes.

But at least this look does not look old, and he will still look young in 20 years.

However, if this appearance is on a man, probably not many men will be happy.

"Although your uncle is good-looking, he is not a fuel-efficient lamp." Tan Taifeng couldn't help complaining, "It's impossible to talk about cooperation with him without being ripped off."

Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "No wonder Sister Tantai would rather come all the way to find me, because she thinks I'm easier to deceive than little uncle."

Tan Taifeng nodded at her angrily and said: "Looking at you like this, I know I have found the wrong person, maybe you are more dark-hearted than him."

"Don't be like this." Luo Jun shook her arm and said, "What friendship do we have? Everything is easy to talk about. Although I don't have time to deal with those things right now, there is a business that my sister can do."

"What?" Tantai Feng asked curiously.

Luo Jun said: "I have a batch of silk cloth in Shangyong, and I can give it to you at [-]% of the market price. It just so happens that Sister Tantai's boat can't go back to the South China Sea empty, so Sister Tantai can load the goods at Dongzhou Port and bring them back along the way." chant."

"Seventy percent?" Tantai Feng was a little curious, "How many?" The silk in the Central Plains is a hot commodity no matter where it is, so Tantai Feng is naturally interested.

Luo Junyao calculated carefully and said: "Three or four thousand horses are always available, and there may be some special cloth. You have to go to Shangyong to see it."

Tantai Feng frowned and said: "This is not too much."

Luo Jun shook his head: "I'm just making a rough calculation, and it's only a little more. Besides, you pretend that I don't know how much money you can make by transporting a piece of silk from the Central Plains to Nanyang or even further away?"

Tantaifeng chuckled lightly, and said: "Well, it's not that the Tantai family doesn't want to do silk business, but unfortunately several big silk merchants in the Central Plains have their own fixed business routes. The share that can be shared with us, even Sai Ya There are not enough seams. It seems that my sister, you are building ships in the South China Sea just for these fabrics? Do you have a stable supply?"

Luo Jun said with a smile: "Of course it's not only for the fabric, but I only have fabric at the moment. But if you are interested in other things, I can help you with the thread." She doesn't have the goods, but it doesn't mean others don't.

"Okay! Then I'll go to Shangyong first, and talk to Lin Chengyu after I go back."

Luo Jun smiled and said: "Okay, I'll write a letter to my sister, and you can just bring my letter to find someone."

"If you really make money, my sister will not forget your benefits."

"Then I'll just wait." Luo Jun shook his smile and looked very sincere.

After leaving Tantai Feng's courtyard, Luo Junyao glanced at the overlapping image that kept looking at him.

"Speak up if you have something to say." Luo Jun shook his head.

Die Ying said: "Wangfei really intends to cooperate with Tantai Feng?"

Luo Junyao looked at him, "What's the problem?"

Die Ying said: "Although the reputation of Tantai's family is not bad, it is pirates after all. If it gets out, those old antiques in the court may..."

Luo Jun said: "You also said that the Tantai family has a good reputation. Do you really think that sister Tantai traveled all the way to the north just to chat with me and earn some money for silk?"

Die Ying said: "Please show me the princess."

Luo Junyao sighed and said: "Our Dasheng is so poor, we need to make money to live. Overseas not only has money, but also food, spices and gems and other things that Dasheng is in short supply. If you want to make money, you have to open up trade routes. There are so many pirates on the sea. When will you Can they all be wiped out? The Tantai family intends to submit to the imperial court and return to Dasheng's jurisdiction. It's rare that the character of the head of the family is decent. If we don't continue, will we really form a deadly enmity?"

Because of the wars in these years, the surrounding islands and various forces in the South China Sea have essentially escaped the control of the Dasheng court.

They occupy various small islands in the South China Sea and make themselves kings, and the court has nothing to do with them for a moment.

They don't seem to be as rich and powerful as the Fang family in Yingzhou, but they are actually more difficult to deal with than the Fang family.

An island as big as Yingzhou is there, and the Fang family has been operating there for generations, and there is no other place to settle for hundreds of miles around.

But there are many small islands in the South China Sea, even if the imperial court sends troops to encircle and suppress them, if they abandon this island and go to other places, and then act as pirates to block the way and rob, there is nothing you can do.

"The Tantai family wants to submit to the imperial court?" Duo Ying was a little surprised.

"Otherwise?" Luo Jun shook his head and said with a smile: "No matter how famous the Tantai family is, they are still pirates. She is idle and bored to get close to me, the regent princess? Besides, pirates live a life of licking blood after all. If they can lead the whole family Living in peace, who wants to fight and kill?"

"So that's the case, it's my subordinates' short-sightedness." Duo Ying said a little embarrassedly.

Luo Junyao sighed, and said: "Actually, I quite like Elder Sister Tantai, I don't know if there is any possibility between her and my little uncle."

"Ahem, princess, Patriarch Lin is a high school student after all, so I'm afraid it's not suitable."

Luo Jun waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I won't interfere with other people's feelings. Of course, it's up to him to decide who he likes, and he will be punished if he messes up the mandarin ducks."

Tan Taifeng was straightforward, took Luo Junyao's letter, and set off for Shangyong that night.

Luo Junyao and the others were not idle either, and the next morning, together with Gu Jue and Jiang Yan, they led the troops to the direction of He Ruomuti's garrison.

Watching them leave, it was difficult for others to say, but Han was relieved.

Both Luo Junyao and Tantai Feng put a lot of pressure on her.

Han Shi couldn't help but feel a little fearful about returning to Beijing. If Mrs. Yueyang Hou was like these two, she...

Looking at Jiang Guanmu in front of her, Han's heart was both sour and sweet.

In He Ruomuti's army, the atmosphere was very dignified.

Since the troops withdrew from Jianling the day before yesterday, a low and tense atmosphere has been lingering in the army.

Not only the morale of the Gaoyu soldiers was low, but also the rest of the former Yanzhou Army soldiers were panicked.

They were not in the same way as Gao Yuren, and they were taken by Wu Yi to join Gao Yuren.However, within a few days, Wu Yi disappeared without a trace, abruptly throwing [-] Yanzhou troops into Gao Yu's army.

They followed the Gaoyu people to attack Jianling, and the Gaoyu people still kept everything from them.As for the disastrous defeat the day before yesterday, they had no idea what was going on from the beginning to the end.

Now that Gao Yu's army was defeated, the atmosphere in the army was tense, and the tension between the Gao Yu people and the Central Plains people was even more tense.

The people of Gaoyu suspected that these Yanzhou troops were working carefully, and these Yanzhou troops were also very aggrieved.

Several generals secretly greeted all eighteen generations of Wu Yi's ancestors.

Some people even began to envy those comrades who surrendered directly on the battlefield. They are just soldiers at the bottom. If they are captured, they will not be executed, right?

Even if you go back and get punished, it's better than staying in Gao Yu's army.

For a time, more and more people's hearts fluttered.

In the camp, several generals of the Yanzhou Army sat inside with solemn expressions.

A person walked in quickly, and the curtain behind the big tent was crackled.

"Damn it! Gao Yuren bullies people too much!" He just came in, and he cursed angrily.

The others raised their heads to look at him, "What happened?"

The man's face was gloomy and full of anger, "He Ruomuti came to me just now and said that the two generals of the Zhen Guojun, Gu Jue and Jiang Yan, led their troops out of the city and came towards us in two ways. He asked Yan State troops go to meet the enemy!"

The others took a deep breath, it was the Zhen Guojun!

Gao Yuren himself didn't get any benefits, and now he wants them to be cannon fodder?

"Isn't he afraid that we will take the opportunity to turn against us?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

The man sneered and said, "Where is it so easy? Give them the soldiers and horses, and they will command them themselves."

Everyone was silent, if the soldiers and horses under him were gone, then what are they?
"It's all Wu Yi's fault!" Someone said bitterly.

"What's the use of talking about it now?" Another person whispered: "Ordinary soldiers are fine, if we go back... one counts as one, I'm afraid everyone will fall to the ground."

After all, few of them are innocent.

When Wu Yi persuaded them back then, they were also thinking about it.Otherwise, how could Wu Yi easily control the [-] Yanzhou Army by himself?
Those who really refused to surrender were killed by them.

Why did they listen to Wu Yi's nonsense back then?
"Then what do we do now?"

The man who just came in glanced at the others, gritted his teeth and said, "Now there is no other way, how about going to the Cao family as Wu Yi said?"

"Wu Yi ran away by himself? Can his words be trusted?"

"Now it is a fact that the Cao family raised troops in Qingzhou, and they are heading north. Now, apart from this road, the only thing left is to be used as cannon fodder by the people of Gaoyu. What do you think?"

There was silence in the big tent for a long time before someone said in a hoarse voice, "That's the only way to go."

"Done! If the Gaoyu people really seize the military power, will we still have a way to survive? With so many of us, the Gaoyu people may not be able to stop us if we want to leave!"

"Exactly!"

The man who proposed first looked around at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "Is that the deal?"

"deal!"

"Okay, let's discuss how to act carefully."
