Chapter 510: The Nine Star Building

Wang Fubao looked at Wu Bushan and smiled, walked over slowly and closed the door of the stone chamber.Seeing his half-smile expression, Wu Bushan took a step back subconsciously. Wang Fubao walked up to Wu Bushan and stood there, asking seriously, "Tell me, if I break your neck now, will someone avenge you?" ? Is it Song Baolai, governor of the prefecture, Pei Yu, minister of punishment, or the original version of Nayan Song?"

He raised his hand slightly, with the palm facing upwards, revealing the calluses that would only be worn out by holding a knife all year round.

Wu Bushan looked sideways, and Cheng Mingzhen had stood up calmly to seal his retreat, his expression changed for a moment and then fell silent.

Before Wang Fubao could do anything, Wu Bushan suddenly smiled and let go of the handle of the knife.

"I thought about it carefully. Although I have a knife in my hand, fighting alone is not an opponent for either of you, let alone two against me."

"So you decide to kneel down and beg for mercy? Or are you ready to die?"

Wang Fubao asked.

"I guarantee that I have never thought about the two choices you mentioned, let alone not thinking about them today. I guess I will never think about such a boring thing in my life. I remember someone said to me, called Tiao Tiao The road leads to Rome. Although I don’t know what Rome is, I think it is a majestic city like Luoyang, the eastern capital, and Chang’an, the western capital. But it’s okay, I understand the meaning of these words, and there will never be only two choices .”

"Who told you that."

Cheng Mingzhen asked thoughtfully: "Why don't you just say that all roads lead to the Eastern Capital?"

"The person who said this didn't know what Rome was, because he heard it too. But the person who said this to me, General Wang, also knew it, and you were still mentioning it just now."

"Wang Yunyan?"

Wang Fubao was startled, and then became more wary: "What is the relationship between you and the boss of Zhaixing Building?"

Wu Bushan pondered for a while and smiled: "It's a very close relationship. Anyway, if I tell Wang Yunyan about General Cheng's intention to take his family out of the state, he will definitely not refuse. I can only say so much about it. As for whether it is true or not. You can speculate for yourself, if you think it is fake, then don’t rush to do it.”

Wu Bushan sat down, ate the remaining half of the sauce-flavored elbow on the table, and then drank half of the pot of old wine in one go, sweeping away the wine and vegetables on the table like a wind and cloud, he wiped his mouth and grinned : "Okay, now you can do it if you want, I can't be a starving ghost."

Wang Fubao frowned and asked, "Who are you? Luo Yi? Li Xian? Li Mi? Wang Shichong?"

"Do you think I'll tell you?"

Wu Bushan smiled and said, "Fortunately, I'm not a fool, so don't ask me any more."

"At least I know, Wang Yunyan is definitely not from my Great Xia!"

Wang Fubao said with a glint in his eyes.

Cheng Mingzhen pulled Wang Fubao and shook his head slightly: "Listen to him first, it's easy for you and me to kill him."

"General Cheng is smarter."

Wu Bushan smiled and said: "Well, in order to prove that I can ensure that General Cheng and his family leave the state safely, I can give you a piece of news in advance... Dou Jiande has already returned to the state, the city that has been advancing for five days, He is hiding in the palace. I think the two of you can guess why he didn't show up. There are only two people in the court who know about it. Although the two are deadly enemies, their relationship with Wang Yunyan, a veteran of the Zhaixing Tower, is extraordinary."

As if to prove the truth of what he said, Wu Bushan asked Wang Fubao meaningfully: "Why, doesn't the general think there is anything wrong? The princess hasn't come to see you for a few days."

After hearing his words, Wang Fubao breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his fist: "I don't need to mention your suspicious identities in front of King Xia, but if you let me know that you failed to send General Cheng's family If you leave, I guarantee that at least you and Wang Yunyan will never leave the state alive."

"Don't scare me."

Wu Bushan said with a smile: "Maybe you don't know me. The thing I fear the most is threats. I have at least three poisons hidden in my body. What do you think they are used for? Death is nothing to be afraid of. Do you feel threatened?" Useful? Although my martial arts are definitely not as good as yours, General Wang, but if I want to swallow poison, you will definitely not be able to stop me. Don't look at me with that kind of eyes, is it because I am too proud and complacent? The reason why I You are proud because you can die by your own hands when you want to die, which is a very proud thing in itself, isn't it?"

He walked to the door, opened the door, turned around and said, "It's actually very rude of you to talk about it. Why don't you ask me what conditions I have after I've reached the door? Don't you think that Wang Yunyan and I are doing charity?" Bodhisattva? Or do you think that my relationship with Wang Yunyan can blackmail me, so you don’t have to do me any favors?"

He shook his head slowly and sighed: "Since Wang Yunyan can send anyone out of the state, can't she send herself out? As for whether I can leave the state alive, it really doesn't matter at all."

"Say... what are the conditions."

Cheng Mingzhen asked solemnly.

"he!"

Wu Bushan pointed to Wang Fubaodao and said to Cheng Mingzhen: "He will go with you, this is my condition, otherwise General Cheng's family members will definitely not be able to leave the state, it's as simple as that."

He smiled, turned and left.

Wang Fubao looked at Wu Bushan's back with a solemn expression: "Wu Bushan...who is it?"

"It does not matter!"

Cheng Mingzhen felt overwhelmed, looked at Wang Fubao and said worriedly: "The important thing is... King Xia is back, and he came back a long time ago but didn't show up."

Wang Fubao's heart tightened, and he shook his head with a wry smile.

……

……

Zhaixinglou is the largest restaurant in the state city. When Cheng Mingzhen was the lord of the state, it was not a magnificent three-story wooden building, but a few dog meat shops facing the street, and it was the only one in the state that specialized in selling dog meat. , so the business on weekdays is not bad, the owner is a native of the state, not very rich, but compared to ordinary people, he can live a decent life.

The year before last, a wealthy businessman suddenly sent a butler to buy the dog meat shop, and the price he offered was extremely generous. Not to mention buying the few bungalows facing the street, that price could build a grand mansion with three fronts and three entrances in Zhoucheng.So the owner of the dog meat shop sold the shop without hesitation, and then took his family to buy a small shop in the west of the city to continue the dog meat business.However, the wealthy businessman who bought his shop never showed up, and soon many craftsmen came and demolished the shop, and a three-story wooden building was erected on the spot for nearly a year.Only then did people know that the dozen or so households around the dog meat shop had also been bought, and a not too small garden was built behind the wooden building.

This incident has always been talked about by the neighbors, and everyone has always been interested in this wealthy businessman with a lot of money.But on the day of the opening of the hanging plaque of the Zhaixing Building, people excitedly crowded over to see it, only to find that the mysterious rich businessman turned out to be a skinny and wretched little old man, dressed in common clothes, obviously without fame, no matter how he looked at it. The momentum of spending a lot of money suddenly made people lose interest.And many girls in the middle of the boudoir who yearned for the boss of Zhaixinglou to be a young and promising handsome young man also gave up their hearts. Seeing the boss' appearance, they no longer believed in fairy tales.

It is said that the boss's surname is Wang, his name is Yunyan, and his style name is Nianqi. Although his appearance is not very flattering, he is definitely a big man with good hands and eyes. The opponent Nayan Song Zhengben and the Minister of Internal History Kong Deshao both appeared in this building from time to time, so it can be seen that Wang Yunyan's status in the city is not just that of a merchant.

Young women lost interest in Zhaixing Tower, but court officials flocked to it.Nine out of ten officials would choose this building to treat guests to dinner, and this place has become a status symbol.And the owner of this building, Wang Yunyan, is obviously not very good at doing business, so he waived the meal fees for the officials every now and then, and even gave some small gifts such as old wine and dishes before leaving.Therefore, Zhaixing Building has not made much money since its opening, and at best, its income has been flat.

But since it was reported that Lord Kong Deshao and Lord Song Zhengben had to pay for every meal, none of those officials dared to have the cheek to refuse to pay.

Pedestrians on the street have become accustomed to the carriages of various big families parked in front of the gate of Zhaixing Building after nightfall, so when the carriage of Song Zhengben, the first important minister of Daxia, stopped at the entrance, the common people did not recognize that it was nothing special. The horse-drawn carriage marked, did not recognize that the shriveled old man in thick brocade and cotton clothes and a velvet scarf was Mr. Song.

Speaking of which, Song Zhengben's appearance is really similar to Wang Yunyan, the boss of Zhaixinglou.

After entering the door, Song Zhengben went up to the third floor. The third floor was full of private rooms, but he didn't enter any of them. Instead, he went down the stairs from the back under the guidance of a clerk carrying a lamp, and entered a few unremarkable thatched rooms in the garden behind. The hut, it seems that this row of thatched huts is very simple. Compared with the magnificent wooden buildings in front, one is in the sky and the other is [-] miles underground, but after entering the hut, it immediately catches the eye. Luxury to the extreme.

After Song Zhengben sat down, not long after, several delicate and beautiful women filed in and placed exquisite dishes on the table, as well as a jar of old wine that smelled fragrant just after it was opened.Not long after, Wang Yunyan, the owner of Zhaixing Building, walked in with a stove in person, and smiled apologetically, "It's cold in this room, and my lord is rich, so add another stove."

"Not that much
