"Clan leader?" Zhao Gou couldn't help but feel a little strange and worried as he looked at Gao Xing's face and said in a low voice.

Gladly glanced at Zhao Gou, the serious look on his face disappeared.Looking at Zhao Gou's simple and honest face that was still covered with sweat and flushed red by the hot weather, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth when he was happy, he patted Zhao Gou's shoulder vigorously, and praised: "Good job! Come and sit down , Tell me carefully, where is the envoy from the imperial capital now?" As he spoke, he happily handed his handkerchief to Zhao Gou, motioning for the latter to wipe off his sweat.

Hearing Gao Xing's praise, Zhao Gou looked excited, took Xing Xing's handkerchief and touched his face casually, then sat down and said: "According to their footsteps, they should have arrived in Nanyanzhou, and if they want to reach our Xuyi, It will probably take another five days."

"Five days? It's enough to do a lot of things. I hope the person who comes here is a smart person, otherwise my preparations will be in vain?" Gao Xing said to himself with a slight frown.

"Master, do you still have any tasks? Even if you entrust them to your subordinates, your subordinates will definitely live up to your trust!" Zhao Gou saw his happy appearance, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he quickly moved closer.

Looking at Zhao Gouna like a cat smelling fishy smell, he smiled happily and said: "It's such a happy thing to eat and drink every day, but you are thinking about running around, you really don't know how to enjoy life. People!" He happily sighed, looked at Zhao Gou suspiciously, and said, "Look at you, you've been working so hard day and night, and you're so tired, are you okay?"

When Zhao Gou heard this, he stood up abruptly, slapped his chest loudly, looked at Gao Xing seriously and resolutely, and said, "Guangzhu, look, how can my subordinates be tired after riding a horse for a few days?" What? This subordinate has followed you to practice martial arts for more than three months, if you are so careless, wouldn't it be embarrassing for you?"

"Yo ho! That's fine, Zhao Gou, you've learned the aggressive method! If I say you can't do it, I mean I can't do it myself, not bad, not bad!" Gao Xing's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhao Gou in disbelief. , as if meeting him for the first time, there was a sound of tsk tsk in his mouth.

Zhao Gou felt uncomfortable being looked at by Gao Xing's probing eyes, his already red cheeks turned even redder, like a red-hot iron embryo, he smiled embarrassingly, scratching his head while looking around.

Gao Xing laughed and said, "Since you are so willing, I am naturally very happy." When Zhao Gou heard this, he immediately looked at Xing Xing excitedly, with eager flames dancing in his eyes.

"Come here with your ears." Zhao Gou hurriedly brought his ears closer, and happily lowered his voice. Zhao Gou nodded while listening, but the expression on his face became more and more confused as the time progressed.

"Do you remember it all?"

Zhao Gou nodded seriously, and said with a happy smile: "That's good, go, the faster the better!"

"Yes, boss, I promise to complete the task!" Zhao Gou straightened his body and did not say goodbye to Gao Xing. He turned and ran, but because he was too fast, he rubbed against the door and knocked it loudly. The speed is not reduced.

Looking at the still trembling door, he couldn't help but smile wryly.It seems that Zhao Gou has been holding back for a long time, but it seems that he needs to strengthen his energy-raising skills. How can he write well when he is so impatient?Happy to think so.

On August 573th, [-] A.D., a good news came from the city: the envoys from Yecheng, the imperial capital, were about to arrive in Xuyi. Naturally, the purpose was to reward King Lanling who rescued Yangping and fought against Chen's army, and now the Marquis of Xuyi, Zheng Changgong.

Early in the morning, both sides of the main road from the north gate of Xuyi City to Neishi Mansion were full of people.Everyone had sincere smiles on their faces. They wanted to witness their amiable and lovely Marquis being praised by the emperor, and wanted to share the glory and excitement with him.

Although Gao Changgong has only been in Xuyi for more than three months, the whole Xuyi is well-organized and harmonious.As for those big landlords who were squeezed by happiness in Zeng Jin, they have already put aside the grievances in their hearts and united firmly by Gao Changgong's side.

Xuyi County originally belonged to Huaizhou, with four counties under its jurisdiction, namely Kaocheng, Xuyi, Yangcheng, and Zhidu.Five days ago, Gao Xing invited all the rich merchants and landlords from the four counties to the Neishi Mansion.

Before everyone entered the Neishi Mansion, everyone was terrified and their faces were ashen.why?This Marquis is too "greedy".The common people respect and love him the most, but they don't know how sinister Gao Changgong is!

Think about yourself waiting for people to cut their flesh and let them bleed before entering the Neishi Mansion, or bleeding heavily, how can you make them not feel scared?They also thought about resisting, but just looking at the murderous soldiers in the barracks outside the city, their calves became weak.

They admired Gao Changgong's ability to train such an extraordinary army in such a short period of time, but they were even more frightened.The most important thing is, don't you see, those pioneers of the "revolution", who were once rebellious and rebellious, have been accused of treason, and are now desperately building roads outside the city?Those ancestors didn't even start their plans, so Gao Changgong took the blame.He knew all about the affairs in Xuyi County. It was such a terrible thing that they had to succumb. To be precise, they lurked and looked for opportunities to retaliate.

But five days ago, almost everyone completely abandoned the idea of ​​revenge, all because of money.Gao Xing and Ye Jin agreed to do business with everyone.

This news was like a powerful C4 explosive. Everyone was shocked, almost thinking that they had hallucinations, and then they were ecstatic.In the whole of Xuyi, Ye Jin is the well-deserved richest man. Of course, Xing Xing is not counted among them. Xuyi County belongs to his family.

A few months ago, everyone was not optimistic about the cooperation between Ye Jin and Happy, thinking that it was just a way for Happy to squeeze money.

However, now, they are full of regrets, wishing to draw themselves back into their mother's womb and reshape them.Gao Xing is very kind, he has recorded the thousands of taels of silver donated by those rich people in Zeng Jin, and converted them into shares. Every month, Xing Xing will distribute their shares.Seeing the ten-fold return, everyone wanted to cry but had no tears.If they took out 5 taels of gold at that time, how much would they earn now?

The cloth and wooden furniture in Xuyi City became popular in the whole Qi State in just three months, and countless dignitaries rushed to buy them.This is thanks to the worry-free emperor Gao Wei, the emperor likes things, do the people below still need to pick and choose?

Now, Gao Xing threw out an olive branch again, how could they not be shocked, excited and happy?As a result, needless to say, most landlords and wealthy businessmen stood behind Gao Xing.As long as their vested interests are not violated, it doesn't matter to them who is the governor or who is the internal historian.Compared with the profits that will be earned in the future, Zeng Jin's contribution is just a drizzle, not worth mentioning, and everyone regards the money as an early investment.

At three poles in the sun, the messenger finally appeared in the field of vision.

A relatively luxurious carriage, under the banner of the government, was slowly driving towards Xuyi City under the guard of dozens of soldiers.

Soon, the carriage arrived 20 meters in front of the North City Gate.

"Daddy." Standing under the city gate, Gao Changgong glanced at Gao Changgong beside him, and called softly.

"Huh? What's the matter, Xing'er?" Gao Changgong turned his head in a daze and asked suspiciously.

Looking at Gao Changgong's sunken eye sockets and the indelible worry in his pupils, he has aged a lot in just a few days. He is only in his early 30s, but his temple hair is fast catching up with 50 years old.Gao Xing clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves, and said silently: I will never allow anyone to destroy my family, never!

"The envoy has arrived, let's go and greet him!" Gao Xing gestured with his eyes.

"Oh, yes, let's go!" Gao Changgong tightened his expression, took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and strode towards the carriage.Behind him, the officials of Xuyi County did not dare to neglect, they all collected their minds and went together.

A man stepped out of the carriage, about thirty years old, not tall, not wearing an official uniform, but wearing a well-made and expensive Hu suit.His skin is fair and clean, handsome, with two thick black mustaches, his eyes flicker when he opens and closes, and he has the aura of being in the upper class for a long time, without anger and prestige.

Watching the people coming down from the carriage, Gao Changgong was shocked, and a look of shock flashed across his face, more bitterness and helplessness, but it disappeared in a flash, and he quickly regained his calm, with joy in his mouth. happy smile.

The envoy who got out of the car glanced at the people surrounding the road, and couldn't help frowning. When he saw Gao Changgong, a bright smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, and he walked a few steps quickly.

"It turned out that the king of Changli arrived, and Zheng Changgong was far away to welcome him, and he hoped to forgive his sin, forgive his sin!" Gao Changgong saluted with an apologetic expression as he was still three meters away from the envoy.

"Hou Ye is too polite. You have contributed a lot to Yangping's victory. The Holy One is very happy, that's why I sent Chang Luan to visit you!" The envoy hurriedly saluted and said with a smile.

Gao Xing already understood the identity of this envoy, he is the current celebrity in front of Gao Wei, Changli King Han Changluan, one of the nobles in the Northern Qi Dynasty.
