Qin Mu came to the lobby of the governor's yamen, only to see a team of more than 200 Ming troops parked outside the gate, different from the Ming troops who usually saw them dressed in tatters, although this team of Ming troops was dusty, but the armor was extremely fine and distinct.

If you compare it with Qin Mu's Ganzhou soldiers, this army is like the soldiers in front of Tiananmen Square in later generations, and Qin Mu's Ganzhou soldiers are like field troops who crawl and roll in muddy water all day long.

In front of this team of Ming troops, there were more than a dozen Dongchang fanzi wearing brown clothes and tied with small silk, led by a eunuch with thin cheeks, a moderate figure, and deep-set eye sockets.

Lu Qi, that's right, the eunuch in front of him is Lu Qi, Qin Mu is too familiar with this guy. I still remember that his sunken eye sockets always glowed with a cold glow like a poisonous snake. At this moment, Qin Mu couldn't help but look at his ten fingers.

Lu Qi outside probably saw Qin Mu's action, threw himself on his knees, crawled over and cried: "Lord Qin, Lord Qin spares his life, when I was in Jinling, I had no grudge against Lord Qin, I didn't mean to embarrass Lord Qin, it was all Gonggong Han."

"Huh?" Qin Mu almost couldn't help laughing, took two steps forward and looked down at him and teased: "Father-in-law Lu, as the saying goes, ten fingers are connected to the heart, when Father-in-law Lu ordered someone to give the official a stick, the official hurts, it hurts so much that half of his life is gone, so far I will be frightened whenever I see the stick, and it will be nerve-wracking to beat my son in the future." Father-in-law Lu, you said uh, by the way, just now Father-in-law Lu said that it wasn't what you meant to give me a stick, it was all Grandpa Han's intention, right? Qin Mu said this, turned his head to Dongshi Fanzi who was outside, and said with a smile: "Tell me, was it the intention of Gonggong Lu or Gonggong Han to give the official a stick at the beginning?" ”

The dozen or so Dongchang fans looked at each other, and they didn't dare to say a word, and Lu Qi, who was lying on the ground, turned pale. Cold sweat flowed.

At this time, the general who led the troops came up and gave Qin Mu a salute, and said with a smile: "Lord Qin is invited, the last general Xu Yongshun was entrusted by the eunuch Han Gonggong of Nanjing to send two people to Lord Qin, and Gonggong Han said that after Lord Qin saw people, he would understand Gonggong Han's mind." ”

Xu Yongshun looked nearly twenty years old, with a huge figure and the graceful and luxurious temperament of a noble disciple, Qin Mu looked at him twice, and said noncommittally: "The war in Huguang is not over. General Xu thinks that he has experienced a lot of hardships and dangers along the way, and he has worked hard, so General Xu is please. ”

Xu Yongshun said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Qin should first see who Gonggong Han sent you." Speaking of this, Xu Yongshun glanced at Lu Qi and said with a smile, "Lord Qin claims to have a straightforward personality and clear grievances, and the first person sent by Gonggong Han to Lord Qin has already been seen by Lord Qin." There is another one, Lord Qin must not have imagined. ”

Xu Yongshun signaled slightly, and the two little eunuchs hurriedly went to lift the curtain of the carriage between the two rows of soldiers, and Qin Mu looked up. I saw a woman in her twenties sitting in the car, wearing a light purple halo gauze skirt covering her body, with a peony engraved on the placket, and a colorful embroidery on her chest;

Three thousand satin-like green silk are pulled into a beautiful bun. A pair of peony beads and seven crystal treasures are dotted on both sides, gold lace burnt blue and white jade silk flowers fall in the middle, and the pink skirt sways with beautiful brilliance.

The elegant jade face is carved with clear facial features. The water-colored eyes are clear and bright, and the stunning face of the country and the city is slightly powdered. From afar, it looks like a fairy who has fallen into the world, and does not eat the fireworks of the world.

Xu Yongshun smiled again: "Lord Qin lives in Jinling, but he has studied Wen Taowu strategy wholeheartedly for many years, so he must not recognize this woman." Don't hide it from Lord Qin, Gonggong Han and Zai took a lot of effort to get this girl to Lord Qin, Lord Qin must not live up to Gonggong Han and Zai's good intentions in the next Oh, hehe, this woman's surname is Dong, and her name is Xiaowan. Presumably, Lord Qin must have heard of it. ”

Dong Xiaowan? Qin Mu couldn't help but look into the car again, and was stunned for a moment.

Among the two people who calculated Qin Mu at the beginning, Hou Fangyu was turned into rotten eggs by Qin Mu, and he couldn't even stay in Nanjing, and Li Xiangjun was also taken by him; Mao Xiang also assisted Hou Fangyu in calculating Qin Mu, and now Han Zanzhou didn't know what means to use, so he actually got Dong Xiaowan to give it to Qin Mu;

Regardless of whether Han Zanzhou was inspired by Qin Mu's sentence "There is kindness to repay kindness, and there is revenge to revenge", this gift is indeed heartfelt.

Dong Xiaowan in the car did not avoid Qin Mu's gaze, and was also looking at Qin Mu, her eyes were sad with three points of indifference, and there was no expression on her beautiful face, Qin Mu could feel from her gaze that she was no different from the grass and trees on the side of the road.

"General Xu and Gonggong Han have a heart, this is not the place to talk, General Xu, please." Qin Mu turned sideways and asked.

"Lord Qin is too polite, Lord Qin invites first." The smile on Xu Yongshun's face was very bright, at first glance, he was the kind of person who was not informal, and his attitude towards Qin Mu was neither humble nor arrogant.

Qin Mu asked people to prepare a few side dishes in the yamen and drink them with Xu Yongshun. After some polite greetings, Qin Mu figured out Xu Yongshun's identity.

The fourth son of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, was named Xu Zengshou, who secretly helped Zhu Di during the change of Jingnan and was killed by Emperor Jianwen; His descendants are hereditary Dingguo Gong. Among Zhu Yuanzhang's heroes, only Xu Da's family has two dukes. Xu Zengshou's ninth grandson, Xu Yunzhen, inherited the title of Duke of Dingguo in the third year of Chongzhen and became the ninth Duke of Dingguo.

Xu Yongshun is Xu Yunzhen's third son, although it is not his turn to be the duke of the hereditary country in order of eldest and youngest, but with such a family background, Xu Yongshun is not comparable to other idlers.

"Nowadays, the road is difficult to travel, and there is a little grandfather Lao who has traveled thousands of miles to Changsha in person, which is really embarrassing for the official."

Outside the octagonal pavilion, the autumn chrysanthemum is in full swing, the white clouds outside the high wall are light and elegant, and the gusts of autumn breeze send refreshment, if you just look at these, it is easy for people to forget that this is a troubled world full of war.

Xu Yongshun drove the little girl who served the marquis down, grabbed the wine jug himself, and said with a smile while pouring wine: "Lord Qin, let's see you outside." What kind of little grandfather, Lord Qin, don't scold me, how can it not be the turn of the title in the family, I really have to admire Gonggong Han in the next place, Gonggong Han can be said to be a wise and talented person, it's only been a few months, tsk, tsk, it's terrible, it's terrible, if it weren't for Lord Qin, don't say that Jiangxi can't keep it this time. I'm afraid that the entire half of Jiangnan is in danger. Qin Da Wen Tao Wu strategy, the younger brother was convinced in his heart, and he took the initiative to invite Ying, and came to Changsha to see the demeanor of Qin Daren. To tell the truth, the little brother in Nanjing's land of gold powder is also tired, this time he came to find an errand under the account of Lord Qin, Lord Qin rest assured, although the little brother was born in a family, but he is by no means the kind of soft egg who only knows how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. The younger brother has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he has not dropped out for more than ten years, charging into battle and cutting off a few rebel heads, this little brother still has this confidence, Lord Qin, the little brother is determined to follow you, you just rush, and the little brother will not leave"

Not all of them have three rounds of wine and five flavors of food. Just got to the point?

Qin Mu was really in a trance by Xu Yongshun's style, this guy finished talking in one go just after he was on the table, and Zuihou was still playing tricks. Where is this like a man from a prince's family?

But is he really as reckless as he seems?

Qin Mu replied with a faint smile: "The little grandfather can afford to look down on the official, the official should not refuse, but the small temple of the official is just afraid that it will not be able to accommodate the big Buddha of the little grandfather." ”

"Look at the world. Sun Chuanting has just suffered a big defeat, Guanzhong can't see it, Zuo Liangyu and the like. Don't mention it, anyway, the younger brother is not eye-catching, but here is Lord Qin, tsk, two thousand tigers, swept through Jiangxi and Huguang, Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of troops, was beaten by Lord Qin, embarrassed, the little brother of Lord Qin's admiration is not much to say, even if he is a pawn guarding the tent door for Lord Qin, the little brother is willing, anyway, the little brother is with Lord Qin. ”

The wealthy families in this world are by no means as drunk and dreaming of death as they seem on the surface, and they may see the general trend of the world better than anyone else;

Qin Mu can see that Xu Yongshun is a jewel and a beautiful woman, and he is pretending to be a reckless young man with a dead face. With Han Zanzhou involved, this matter cannot be simple;

In addition to Dingguo Gong and Han Zanzhou, it may even be that the entire interest group centered on them came to invest and bet on themselves.

Thinking about it, this is really not surprising, looking at the Ming Dynasty, all walks of life are withering, and Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are from humble backgrounds, and they both have a strong hatred of the rich, and they are very hostile to these powerful people, and it is inevitable that these powerful people disdain and are unwilling to take the line of Li and Zhang.

Now that Qin Mu has risen strongly at an astonishing speed, defeated Zhang Xianzhong, and controlled Huguang and Gannan, he is like a dazzling comet, and it is difficult for others to ignore it. Looking at Qin Mu's background and what he did in southern Gansu, he is undoubtedly the most ideal investment object for the elite.

The magnates secretly support, which will inevitably bring a lot of help to Qin Mu, but there is no free lunch in this world, and a magnate like Ding Guogong will definitely take a certain share if he invests here.

Qin Mu's heart is like electricity, he is actually like an upstart now, his roots are not too deep, the leaves are not yet Mao, and his mastery of his shili group is not enough to work hard, for example, the army of 100,000 has just been pulled up, and all the generals can't talk about how deep their loyalty to themselves is, at this time, once the powerful shili intervenes, it is difficult to say whether this army will not be their own in the future.

But it is also unwise to push the powerful Shili away and let them run to other camps, and the scale of this is not easy to grasp.

Qin Mu couldn't make a decision for a while, so he had to smile and say: "The little grandfather has worked hard all the way, but Changsha has just been recovered, so he can only be simple because of the ugliness, and I hope that the little grandfather will bear with me if the hospitality is not good. ”

"Brother Qin is polite again, isn't he? Come, the younger brother will do it first as respect. Xu Yongshun raised his glass and took a photo, he did it first, and he didn't mention what he said just now, and praised the wine and food vigorously, looking like an ignorant teenager, but he had unconsciously replaced "Lord Qin" with "Brother Qin", and he was so enthusiastic.
