Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 131 Game
Left-behind staff?

Now that people go to empty buildings, what's the point of staying?

Cui Jiu narrowed his eyes, thinking about what Zhao Junyi was holding, and looked at the kneeling man again with a cold snort, "Let the people around the city evacuate, and then pass on an oral order to order the person who delivered the decree to bring the The imperial decree is taken to the extreme north, and the decree must be passed on to Jun Yi!"

He still doesn't believe it, how dare he resist the edict?
"Yes!"

Wait for the dark guard to retreat.Cui Jiu stared deeply at a certain place, thinking about some of the booty that was seized last year when the Qing Dynasty wiped out the remnants of the Yasukuni.

When counting, most of them were not listed, let alone their whereabouts.

With so much wealth missing, as the emperor, how could he not feel jealous?
When looking for Zhao Junyi's whereabouts, he also asked someone to check the troops he led and the hidden guards around him.

Regardless of whether it is bright or dark, whether it is right or not, he has cleared everything up.

Among them, it was discovered that Jian Zhuo, who came out of his own Dark Guard Mansion a few years ago and recognized the master, has disappeared.

As for where he went, it has not been thoroughly investigated so far. He thought that after he found Jun Yi, he would naturally come to find his master.

Now it seems that Jun Yizhi is dissatisfied with him and wants to have a match with him?

"Heh!" Thinking of this, Cui Jiu let out a light snort. He held everyone's workshop, but it was only because he found something abnormal during the suppression.At that time, he was afraid that Jun Yizhi would disappear on purpose, and he had another evil intention, so he had to arrest his wife and children.

Now it is known that he did not disappear on purpose, but whether he has evil intentions or not, it is hard to say now.

Cui Jiu leaned on his chin with his hand, and had a pair of narrow and long eyes.After retracting his eyes staring into the distance, he waved the Ming emperor's robe again seemingly inadvertently.

He got up, called the servants around him, and walked towards the harem with his feet lifted.

Li Kongzhu and the others stopped and stopped all the way, although the location was in the extreme north, Zhao Junyi, who led the way, did not follow the normal road.

Sometimes when the interest comes, he will even go to another place, stay in that place for a day or two, and then get back on track and move forward slowly.

Li Kongzhu didn't know what the hell he was up to, he took his two children with him happily along the way, and often went on field trips.

When she is free, Zhao Junyi will take her for a ride.During this period, at night, the woman would ask him to tell her about marching and fighting.

Fortunately, the most difficult thing for Zhao Junyi to look forward to during the war was the mountain climbing trip. He still remembers the beautiful scenery of the lake on the top of the misty mountain.

At that time, a group of people parked their car on a mountain road, lit a bonfire, and sat beside them, watching the occasional stars shining through the trees, while listening to the man's low-pitched and plain narration.

Li Kongzhu hugged the sleeping child in his arms and rested his head on the man's shoulder. After listening to the march, he sighed with emotion, "It's rare to hear you describe a lake in such detail. Thinking about it, it's true. It’s beautiful! I really want to see it!”

Looking back at her staring eyes, the man silently hooked his lips and changed his position. After hooking her into his arms and finding a comfortable position, the man chuckled, "I'm afraid it will be difficult!"

The hardships along the way, back then those rough old men paid the price in blood to climb to the top.Even if he is asked to walk it all over again now, and he can remember all the dangerous roads, there is no guarantee that he will be able to reach the summit safely and smoothly.

Li Diaozhu sighed regretfully. If this is in modern times, if there is such a beautiful scene, if you want to see it, you just have to wait for someone to discover it and develop it into a tourist attraction.

But in that case, it loses its natural taste.

Shrugging her shoulders optimistically, the woman smiled heartily, "Forget it, there are things and things that are not easy to get, which are even more precious. It's good to keep a thought in my heart, it can allow my imagination to magnify infinitely. Losing is a kind of beauty!"

After the man listened, he looked at the woman's face which was marked by the bonfire. The gentle and bright face was the same as when he first saw it, and it hadn't changed at all.

Stretching out his hand, his long fingers brushed across her face inadvertently.

The woman felt his touch and looked up at him.Seeing that his eyes were frighteningly bright, his face blushed unconsciously, and the corners of his eyes looked worriedly at the servants on the other side.

Seeing that everyone was chatting about their own affairs in an orderly manner, and some even sat on the rafters and fell asleep, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

The man felt her nervousness, so he curled his lips in a funny way, retracted his fingers caressing her face, and took over the child, "It's getting late, the night wind is cold, let's go back to the car and rest earlier!"

"Okay!" The woman nodded, seeing the warm smile on his face when he got up holding the meatball and walked towards the mule cart where Zhao Nixiu was, it was happiness that he had never felt before.

Since then, it has gone through more than half a month of driving.

When they officially arrived at the extreme north, it was already late April or early May.

Although the place has already opened up and the sky has warmed up at this moment, it is not too late for their plan.

In a small town on the border of the former Yasukuni, I found a clean courtyard and rented it out. After getting settled, I rested for another day.

The next day, Li Kongzhu and Zhao Junyi went to the current trade zone in a carriage again.

As soon as you get to the delineated border between the two countries, you can see that there are construction projects everywhere at this time.

Among the people from the two countries who came and went, some small stalls had already sold them first, and the car dealer slowly looked all the way. Although there were not many varieties for sale, they were still somewhat decent.

Li Kongzhu lifted the curtain and glanced at the two teams of officers and soldiers in different uniforms interspersed among the common people of the two countries.

When two couples meet, although they don't communicate very well, they are very peaceful.

"This is the guard who maintains the trade zone?"

"Yeah!" The man lay on his back, closed his eyes and didn't even look at it, and let out a soft hum.

Li Kongzhu glanced away at him from the corner of his eyes, put down the curtain, and poured himself a cup of tea.Thinking about the hawkers I saw along the way, Bianguo has a lot of varieties, but Yunguo only has some fur and some herbs.

I did see livestock being sold!

Li Kongzhu took a sip of his tea, thinking of the black-and-white milk cows that are abundant in a certain grassland, that is a good thing, I don't know if there are any here.

While thinking about it, the woman's eyes immediately glowed green again.

After putting down the teacup with a "snap", he quickly lifted the curtain of the car, stretched his neck, and with a pair of eyes, he started to stare carefully at the vendors coming and going.

When Zhao Junyi heard the sound, he inadvertently opened his eyes.After seeing the woman's actions again, he frowned lightly again.

"looking at what?"

"Cow!"

cow?The man squinted his eyes, and half propped himself up to look along the gap she leaked.Seeing the car dealership passing by, I saw a lot of animals, but none of them were the cows she mentioned.

After thinking about it, the man lay back down again, closed his eyes, and let her go.

After visiting the trade area, after turning around in the car dealership, we headed towards the area where the military camp was stationed.

After arriving at the station, Zhao Junyi, who had been lying down all the way, finally got up, got out of the car, and went to communicate with the soldiers stationed at the city gate in person.

Li Kongzhu was waiting in the car for a quarter of an hour, when he suddenly heard a burst of uniform footsteps.

Before she could react, there was another shout, "Drive!" After saying that, the mule cart started moving forward quickly.

Li Kongzhu was startled, and was about to lift the curtain to ask what was going on, but he heard the hearty voice of the changed 'carriage driver' at this moment.

"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law, I'm here to pick you up from the city by order of the general!"

When she heard that it was Zhao Junyi's order, the woman felt relieved, and recalled that the voice was a little familiar, she guessed that it was someone she had met when she went to the border in the past.

He smiled, and answered him loudly, "Understood! Then I will trouble this brother!"

"Hey! No trouble!"

The simple and honest voice unique to men made Li Diaozhu completely relieved.

After pursing her lips and talking to him a few more words, the woman sat down again.

When the car stopped at the side door of a mansion, the woman lifted the curtain and came out. She raised her eyes and bumped into Hua Lao who was standing in the doorway with Zhao Junyi to welcome her.

I haven't seen him in the past two years, although the old man still has that arrogant stare, but his mental state is much older.

His heart was sour, but he got out of the car with a smile on his face, and joked: "People say that it takes years, and things change. In my opinion, it's only a few hundred days and nights. Mr. Hua , since you are more than ten years old?"

"Nonsense!" The old man whimpered and stared nonsense, "The old man has always been in good health, you brat, don't talk nonsense."

The woman covered her mouth and chuckled, "Yes, yes! You are old and healthy, even if you live another 50 years, you will still be as handsome as you are today!"

Over there, Zhao Junyi came over and reached out to hold her catkin.

The old man glanced at the two people's handshake, then snorted pretending to be cold and said: "It's a good flattering hand!" After saying that, he let the two into the courtyard.

After serving tea in the main hall, several people teased each other about the recent situation.

After seeing that the matter was almost finished, I turned to the topic and began to talk about building a workshop.

At that time, Li Kongzhu didn't hold back, put the teacup to wipe the corners of his mouth, and only heard her say: "It's just right today, but we can start building at any time. Today, I came here to give you a report. .I don’t know if this imperial court has been arranged for us? Where has it been designated for us to build?”

As soon as the court was mentioned, the old man glanced at the man casually.

Seeing that Zhao Junyi was only drinking tea with eyes lowered invisibly, he calmly took out the land deed that he had prepared long ago.

"As early as when the trade zone was being planned, the Holy Majesty had explained it. Now that the border zone has been open for many months, I have already asked people to mark off the land I like, so that the people below will look after it and refuse to allow it. Other merchants came to see and buy."

Li Kongzhu nodded, thinking about the large-scale construction projects he saw when he came, it seems that many businessmen have already heard the wind and moved.

Now the opening up of trade is in the stage of testing the waters. If it succeeds, it may not be long before the wine shop and inn will be established. If it continues to prosper in the long run, the land will only become more and more expensive in the future.

The woman took a look at the land deed and saw that the location was not bad, and the allocated land was quite large, so she nodded in satisfaction. "Now that the procedures are completed, I will start to prepare after I go back! If there are any shortages in terms of personnel and engineering, I'm afraid I will have to trouble you a lot. I hope you don't get annoyed by Jieshi."

The old man shook his head, "This workshop is integrated with the court. It doesn't matter whether it is helping each other. If there is a need, you can just ask for it."

"Thank you, Mr. Hua!" Li Kongzhu felt blessed when he heard it.

Over there, Zhao Junyi heard that he had used the word "Chao Ting" again, but calmly put down the lamp in his hand, turned his eyes, and looked at the woman, "Since this matter has been negotiated, why don't you go to the court first?" Take a walk in the garden?"

Li Kongzhu was stunned for a moment, but after a short while, she nodded with a smile again, "Talk about it!" During the month or so since the man around the city was in a hurry to walk along the road, she had already guessed and felt that The man is afraid that he wants to settle accounts with Cui Jiu.

But as for how to calculate, how to calculate, on this point, she has always been somewhat unpredictable.

Looking at the man's still plain face, when the woman finished speaking, she turned around and walked outside.

The old man asked someone to lead the way for the woman, and when he saw the woman's figure completely walked away.Only then did he turn his eyes back to staring at Zhao Junyi and said: "The person who announced the decree in the imperial city has arrived half a month ago. While waiting for you, he sent a letter back to the imperial city with a flying eagle. What do you think? Clearly resisting the accusation, is it because you don’t want to be a general? Or are you just trying to get angry?” Thinking about what the woman asked when she wrote a letter to the woman after finding him again, and received a reply.

Even if it's for the sake of hiding his child and the matter of workshop holding, it shouldn't be so radical.

Thinking of this, the old man sighed, "The art of the emperor has existed since ancient times. Today's emperor's heart is no longer something you and I can guess. While he still takes a fancy to you and feels guilty, he will make a fuss." Just let it go!" If you still don't understand the fun and wear down the last minute of patience, I'm afraid it will be too late.

The man lowered his eyes and rubbed his sleeves with his long fingers without making a sound.

Seeing him like this, the old man knew that he was being stubborn, but he sighed helplessly, "Forget it, you can do it if you know it in your heart." As he spoke, he thought of the person who was still waiting to announce the decree, "The decree... ..."

"No!" The man finally opened his mouth in a cold voice, and when he saw the old man's staring eyes, he curled his lips into a smile again, "Why don't Ruo Hua send a message for me."

"Say it!" Seeing that he was still smiling, the old man closed his eyes and stared at him.

"It is to exchange what I have with what he wants, if not, then I will give up all I own to him, and what he wants will never be seen again in eternity. "

What does this mean?
The old man frowned, but saw that the man had already stood up at this time, "It's these two sentences, please send the old man back for me!" After finishing speaking, he bowed his hands and gave a salute, then turned around and walked straight out of the house went.

"Hey~" the old man frowned and whispered, seeing the man walking outside as if he hadn't heard it, he couldn't help but stop talking, and followed him with deep eyes.

Li Kongzhu, led by the servants of the mansion, went to a gazebo and sat down.

Looking at the delicate and beautiful flowers in full bloom in the garden, she rested her chin on one hand and still couldn't figure out what capital she and the man still had to fight against Cui Jiu.

If the man hadn't escaped for several months because of the siege, then she believed that the man had a bit of resistance.

After all, in that case, most of Yasukuni's conquests were attributed to men.

Without the alliance with Yunguo, everyone's workshop would not need to be controlled. What's more, there was the fact that she had let a man hide the spoils of war.

If the man hadn't disappeared at that time, with his merits and the matter of the trophy, Cui Jiu would be used to make fun of him, and Cui Jiu would have to accept this dumb loss.

But do they still have that condition now?

The woman shook her head, and when she was in a daze, suddenly a finger shook in front of her eyes.

Looking closely, I don't know when a man is sitting opposite her.

He smiled, "Are you done talking?"

"It's over!" The man hummed lightly, and grabbed her hand resting on her chin, "Go back!"

"Ah? Ah!" The woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and followed him to stand up, walking towards the side door where he got off earlier.

When the car dealer went back, they replaced their own driver again.

Li Kongzhu sat in the car with the man, after a long silence, he couldn't help but asked about his guess.

"How do you plan to fight against Cui Jiu?"

"Confrontation?" At that time, the man was holding a book and looked up at her. Seeing her nodding, he threw the book in his hand on the table and beckoned her to come closer.

"When did I say I was going to confront him?" After she sat close, the man took her into his arms, locked her tightly, and took her slender hand in his hands, slowly rubbing it.

The woman patted him timidly, "It's not a confrontation, you can't stay at home for two days, you have to leave in a hurry, and after you left, you made some detours, but it's been nearly a month and a half , if you weren’t someone who was hiding from Cui Jiu, why did you bother to go to such lengths?” You still took a detour, obviously because you were afraid of encountering something.

The man hooked his lips, and played with her slender hand from left to right, "It's just a deal."

"trade?"

"Yeah!" The man rested his forehead on top of her head.

"What deal?"

"Workshop deal!" The man didn't want to hide it either.

But the woman's heart skipped a beat, and the next second she turned around vigorously without tenderness, "What did you say?" What workshop deal?
The man glanced at her, saw her facing him, and locked her in his arms with a hook.

"Hmm~" the woman protested, buried her head in his chest and bit him hard.

The man frowned, and when he pulled her up, he looked at the position of the chest speechlessly.

Regardless of these, the woman smoothed some slightly messy hair, stared at him very seriously and said, "What do you mean by the workshop transaction?" What do you want to exchange for the workshop?Or do you want to take the shares from Cui Jiu?
As for these two points, no matter which one is, it is not what Li Kongzhu wants to see.The previous one, if a man dares to do it, she will fight him to the death. Now that she has become a half-time worker, she doesn't want to become a full-time worker.

But if it’s the latter point, that’s not okay. They don’t have the capital now, and if they go head-to-head to ask for the shares, they will probably piss off Cui Jiu.

That bastard, since he became the emperor, he has been calculating everywhere. Doesn't he have good capital to get something from him?It's simply harder than climbing to the sky!

Now she doesn't want to stop tossing.

Zhao Junyi stretched out his fingers and flicked the wrinkled skirt of his clothes, seeing that she was still looking angry, he sighed, "Do you remember what you said to me in the military camp the year before last?"

The barracks the year before last?During the epidemic?
The woman glanced at him, "I've talked too much with you." There is love and love for flowers and plants, and there is also that conspiracy and lies to conceal.

Wait, conspiracy, calculation, lie and concealment?

Could it be?

The woman opened her mouth in surprise for a while, only to hear her stammering: "Could it be... no way!" How could he be so awesome?
The man nodded, "This is the deal I negotiated with him." For this tone, he would say no matter what, it depends on what Cui Jiu wants.

Is it the treasure of an incomparably rich country?Or is it a workshop that can earn money for many years?

You must choose one of the two!

"How did you do it?" He was about to run for his life back then, how could he still have the ability to hide the treasure?

If you have the time to hide treasures, why don't you escape quickly?If she wanted to escape back sooner, not only would she not hand over the shares of Renren Workshop, but she would not be sad for so long.

Now it's like this, isn't it superfluous?

While thinking about it, the woman cast another hateful look away. "Take off your pants and fart!" Do you know how worried she is?

man:"……"

Did he follow her instructions, okay? When he was in the most critical moment of his life, he still wanted to hide money for her. Looking around the world, who else can be as obedient as him?
Seeing his cold face, Li Kongzhu calmed down and patted his face, "Okay, okay, I was wrong. Don't be angry~ By the way, how many treasures are there? Compared with the workshop, Which is more cost-effective?"

"What do you want?" The man looked at her sparkling eyes vigilantly, frowned, and asked with some displeasure.

The woman chuckled, "Why don't you want to do it, why don't you want to do it!" Although she wanted the treasure very much, but if there were too many treasures, she would not have that kind of blessing. In this case, it is better to ask for the full management right of the workshop.

"Do you think Cui Jiu can agree?" Today's workshop is no longer the small business of the past. If it continues for a long time, it will also be a great income.

"Yes!" the man snorted.

At this point, none of them can afford to gamble.

If he wants to have both, he has to prevent him from rebelling again. Although he no longer has that kind of thought, it does not prevent Cui Jiuhui from thinking like this.

The superior person, the longer he sits, the more he thinks.

Now that he is sensible and soft-hearted and 'easy to bully', he has to get back everything that should be asked for.

After all, that half of the property that is incomparably rich is a little more dangerous than the Renren Workshop that has not yet grown into a big one.

With Cui Jiu's thoughts now, he might compromise soon.

The woman nodded after listening to his explanation, although it could only be a temporary pleasure.

It can be done later, let's talk about it in the future!
After returning to the rented house, the woman handed over the building of workshops and shops to Zhao Junyi.

And after she finished explaining that when she asked to build a workshop, she used half of Yun people and half of her own people, and then took the two children out to go shopping and step on the ground.

In mid-May, Cui Jiu received a message from Hua Lao on Zhao Junyi's behalf.

When Cui Jiu heard this, she didn't have much expression on her face, after waving her hand to tell the messenger to go down.

Looking at the edict on the table, he snorted softly, "It's a good idea." It's a pity that he doesn't care about the shares of the workshop at all.

Thinking of this, Cui Jiu rubbed his chin and moaned, "Why don't you just pretend for a while?" After all, it was too easy to agree, but it was boring instead.

Now he is 100% sure, that guy Jun Yizhi has nowhere to vent his anger, thinking that he can be controlled by this?
"Oh! Stupid!" But he didn't know that this was exactly what he used to manipulate him.

After thinking about it, he saw that he threw the imperial decree on the ground one by one.

When the chief eunuch over there went to pick it up, he had already picked up his pen and started to write another letter. After it was finished and sealed, he handed it over to the eunuch who picked up the edict, "Send it quickly, order At the end of the ten-day period, we must arrive!"

"Yes!" The eunuch saw that the letter was sent to the extreme north, and he was in such a hurry, so Dang even didn't dare to neglect it for a moment, took it over, and quickly retreated.

Cui Jiu stepped back, staring at the long jumping candle, with a weird smile on his lips.
