Chapter 370

Suzhou, located in the east of Taihu Lake, stands by the water. Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, its clothes and hats have moved to the south, and it has been called rich and prosperous since then.

The land of Suzhou, originally known as Wujun, was originally called Wujun. In the ninth year of the Kaihuang reign of the Sui Dynasty, after the Southern Sui conquered and destroyed Chen, Wujun was abolished and established. It was renamed Suzhou because of the Gusu Mountain in the west of the city, and it got its name.

Suzhou is the residence of the Three Wus and is an important place in the southeast. There are only two Tongjun mansions in Suzhou. One is called "Gusu Mansion" and the other is "Wucheng Mansion". Set up the Gusu Tongjun Mansion in Gusu City.

Wu County, ten miles south of Gusu City.

There are many hills in Suzhou. If you go out of Gusu City and walk ten li to the south, you will find a continuous low hill. It is an inaccessible place on weekdays. It is still early spring, and the dense forest is still slightly cold, and there is no one there. here we come.

But today is something special, Jiangling traitor Zuo Youxian and Gusu Mansion Commander Duan Cui, these two people who should have nothing to do with each other, actually met here.

"I haven't seen you in a long time, but the immortal master is still very strong and energetic." In the dense forest, as soon as Duan Cui and Zuo You Xianfang met, Duan Cui stepped forward and cupped his hands, smiling at Zuo Youxian.

Zuo Youxian and Duan Cui are obviously old acquaintances, Zuo Youxian also greeted Duan Cui after hearing the words: "General Duan's face is full of red, and he is full of auspiciousness. I think there must be good things coming soon."

Duan Cui heard the words and said with a smile: "Haha, Master Immortal has auspiciously said that if Duan achieves anything in the future, I will thank the Immortal Master."

Zuo Youxian smiled and said: "Zuo heard that your brother Fan Guogong Duan Xiong is the new commander of the Xikaidao Army, and he is ordered to manage the affairs of the Northwest Frontier. He has a high position and authority. General Duan has a brother like this. If he wants to ascend to a high position in the future, isn't it easy?"

The Duan Xiong mentioned by Zuo Youxian is the Great General Zuo Xiaowei of the Tang Dynasty and Duan Zhixuan, the commander of the Xihaidao March. Duan Zhixuan is Li Shimin's confidant and favorite general. Four words, and Duan Cui is Duan Zhixuan's younger brother.

Duan Cui laughed, but said: "Since the elder fairy knows my brother, he should know that my brother has always been dull and unreasonable, but if he is willing to help me half an arm, with my ability, he doesn't have to be here in Gusu. I have stayed in the position of the commanding army for six years."

Hearing the words, Zuo Youxian also followed Duan Cui's words, and continued: "What General Duan said is very true. The Tang court has always employed people who are close to relatives, like General Duan, who has a great talent, but buryes the people of the prefectures and counties. There are indeed not a few ministers, but it is a pity for General Duan's great strategy."

Duan Cui said: "My brother and I, he is in the center, seeking merit and fame, while I am nesting in the place, all I seek is money, if not, how can I get to know the immortal master?"

Zuo Youxian arched his hands and said: "General Duan speaks quickly, Zuo has admired General Duan for a long time."

Duan Cui looked at Zuo Youxian in front of him, chuckled lightly, and said: "Immortal teacher don't need to praise me, I am an official, you are a thief, you and I are officials and thieves have different paths, as long as the immortal teacher brings enough money, he will be fine." You can come to find me, that’s all, don’t come to these courtesies.”

Zuo Youxian heard the word "thief" in Duan Cui's mouth, and his complexion suddenly darkened. Obviously Duan Cui's word made him feel very embarrassed, but Zuo Youxian has something to ask for, so he will soon This embarrassment and dissatisfaction concealed the past.

Zuo Youxian suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned to say: "That's natural, the general's rules are still clear, since Zuo has come, how dare he disobey orders."

Saying that, Zuo Youxian clapped his hands, and said to the attendant behind him: "Come on, take the things down."

Hearing this, several attendants following Zuo Youxian moved a wooden box from the carriage behind them and put it at the feet of Zuo Youxian and Duan Cui.

Duan Cui finally smiled when he saw the heavy box at his feet.

Duan Cui leaned down, and slowly opened the wooden box at his feet, and then a piece of gold in the box flashed into his eyes, and his smile deepened.

Zuo Youxian looked at Duan Cui's appearance, his heart was full of disdain, but he paused and said: "General Duan, just as you and I said before, the total gold in this box weighs two hundred catties, equivalent to twenty thousand guan."

Duan Cui nodded in satisfaction, and winked at the house slave behind him. The house slave got the order, and stepped forward to lift the box at Duan Cui's feet, and put it into the Duan Manor's carriage behind him.

Duan Cui said with a smile: "Brother is an official in Beijing, he often goes to war, and the accumulated salary in one year is far less than that of my trip."

Zuo Youxian looked at Duan Cui's complacent look, obviously he was in a good mood after seeing so many gold ingots, so he asked: "As long as the general is satisfied, I just don't know where the things the general promised Zuo are now?"

Duan Cui took out a note from his sleeve, and said to Zuo Youxian: "Take it, take it, tomorrow Yangzhou Metropolitan Government will have a batch of ordnance transported from Yangzhou to Suzhou, and when it arrives at the Swallow Valley in Shandong Mountains, the vault before noon the day after tomorrow, you Just wait there then."

Zuo Youxian hurriedly asked: "But I don't know if the ordnance brought in this time is really as sufficient as what the general said in the letter?"

Hearing Zuo Youxian's question, Duan Cui seemed to show an impatient look on his face, and replied: "The ordnance sent by the Governor's Mansion of Yangzhou this time was consumed by the three thousand troops of Gusu Mansion for half a year. There are no less than a thousand arrows and arrows, which are only a lot more than what I said, if you have the ability, just take them."

No less than a thousand pieces!

Hearing this, Zuo Youxian showed joy, and hurriedly said: "That's good, I have General Lao Duan."

Duan Cui smiled and said: "There is no need for these courtesies, just come and find me next time if you have these urgent needs."

"Thank you General." Zuo Youxian cupped his hands and bowed.

Duan Cui replied: "There is no need to thank you, you and I just take what we need, I have been out of the city for half a day, I am afraid it would be wrong not to return to the city, so I will leave now."

After finishing speaking, Duan Cui waved his hand and left without thinking.

Zuo Youxian stood where he was, watched Duan Cui board the car, and then left slowly, his originally smiling face suddenly darkened.

Zuo Youxian can also be regarded as a half cultivator, with a lonely personality, if he didn't want to ask Duan Cui, Duan Cui, a villain like Duan Cui, he would not have said a word to him.

"Duan Cui is too deceitful. He even bullied us like this. Why should the immortal master be patient? It's not like he has a handle in our hands." Duan Cui's arrogance was also seen by Zuo Youxian's attendants, and the attendants said indignantly .

A cold look flashed in Zuo Youxian's eyes, and he said: "It's okay, it's just that the villain has achieved his ambitions, and when I have a great career, sooner or later I'll ask him to tell him to return all the money he has eaten all these years with interest."

The attendant asked: "Then what should we do now?"

Zuo Youxian replied: "You immediately take people to set up an ambush in the Swallow Valley of Qionglong Mountain, and make sure to arrange it properly in the early days to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"promise."

The attendant responded and was about to leave, but before he left, he seemed to think of something again, and then asked: "Can I tell my little lady to bring someone here?"

Zuo Youxian thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No need, this time we caught Tang Jun by surprise, we have enough people."
