Accompanied by a shout, a large flag was unfolded with a clatter, and the characters "Lu Hesheng" were fluttering in the wind. Hundreds of gangsters and guards surrounded dozens of carriages and set off slowly.

This is a caravan going from Xijin Prefecture to Xingqing Prefecture. The car is loaded with grain, cheese and other things. Now in Xingqing Prefecture, there is nothing that can be eaten and the price is high.

.

They are not short of money.

The Western Army almost swept across the Shaanxi Road and gained countless amounts of money. So wherever you go with food now, you can definitely make a lot of money back.

Of course, food is a strategic material at any time and anywhere, and strictly speaking, Xiao Ding's forces entrenched in Xingqing Mansion are still in a state of war with the Liao Kingdom. Can they be transported to Xingqing Mansion at this time?

Naturally, a large amount of food is not something that ordinary chambers of commerce can achieve.

This time, there were dozens of caravans heading towards Xingqing Prefecture from Xijin Prefecture, but only three or five caravans were qualified to transport grain. Therefore, all you have to do in Xijin Prefecture is to see that Luhe is now selling in great numbers.

What is it? You will know that this chamber of commerce, which was once almost bankrupt and had its bones and marrow sucked out, not only survived, but also lived quite well.

Sun Jucai stood on the high steps with his hands behind his back, watching the caravan gradually go away, but he was full of emotions in his heart. Others looked at Luhesheng now and thought it was developed, but Sun Jucai knew that now, it is just

It's a start.

Of course there was someone behind Lu Hesheng in the past, but it was the Xiao family of the Song Dynasty, and the Liao people naturally knew this. But the three envoys of the Song Dynasty were important even in the Liao Kingdom, Lu Hesheng

Naturally, the business was booming. But the Liao people were also wary of Lu Hesheng.

Everyone understands that for a chamber of commerce like theirs, doing business is all about making money, and gathering information as a spy is almost semi-open.

So once the Xiao family collapsed, they immediately fell into a desperate situation here. If they hadn't been willing to spend money outside these years and formed some good relationships, they might have been able to get the final turn around!

Thinking of the person in Nanzhuyuan, Sun Jucai's heart tightened slightly.

It seemed like I was distressed, but I couldn't tell what it felt like.

The prince in the palace showed his love for Sanniangzi. Not only did he return Lu Hesheng to Sanniangzi, but he also allowed Sanniangzi to have a private army of 500 people, along with 500 people.

The private army also gave Sanniangzi a village worth tens of thousands of acres.

Of course, what happens to this private soldier in the end depends on the third lady herself.

Of course it doesn't matter if it's a tiger or wolf, a wolf-dog or a pig or a sheep.

If you want to train a tiger and wolf army, you will naturally need money.

Sun Jucai is not worried about making money at all. In his current position, it is difficult not to make money. In a few days, Qishui County King Yelujun will take a step further, and the man behind Sun Jucai will naturally take a step further.

Going further, if we look further, Lu Hesheng is the chamber of commerce that countless people come to seek cooperation in doing business.

This time Lu Hesheng went to Xingqing, another important task was to build a point.

An open chamber of commerce that collects intelligence can also bring considerable benefits to Xingqing.

Struggle and cooperation, this is the daily life of these people.

As long as the backend doesn't collapse, they can live well.

As soon as the backstage falls, their death will come. Of course, if someone like Sun Jucai has more good connections outside, they can live longer.

But why is the third lady strictly prohibited from leaking the news that she is still alive? Now that Dalang's reputation has increased, even Yelujun has to sell Dalang's face, negotiate with Dalang, and cooperate with Dalang.

If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it and just do things honestly.

Not only myself, but the wealth and lives of all the old guys in Lu Hesheng are now in the hands of the third lady. If I really disobey the third lady, I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous.

The Sanniangzi now seems to be two people from before.

In the early years, taking advantage of the opportunity of doing business, Sun Jucai returned to Bianliang and met Sanniangzi once at the Xiao family. However, Sanniangzi was still young at that time, and her brows were full of liveliness and intelligence. When we saw each other again,

But there was only a cold look on his face, which made people fearful at first sight.

For myself, it doesn't matter.

She herself is from the Xiao family, and she is still loyal to the Xiao family, but she was a bachelor before and now she is the third wife.

As for whether it was the Song Dynasty or the Liao Dynasty, Sun Jucai, who had lived in Xijin Mansion for many years, did not particularly care.

In the eyes of outsiders, he had taken refuge with Yelujun and served the Liao people from then on. Lu Hesheng's original clerks felt a little uncomfortable, so Sun Jucai sent them back.

It's a good time to get together and get together, and maybe we can meet again in the Jianghu one day in the future.

Turning around to enter the gate, he glanced around and saw a shiny bald head among the crowd watching the excitement outside the gate. Looking down, he saw a smiling face.

Sun Jucai had one foot inside the threshold and one foot outside the threshold. He turned his head and looked outside, feeling a little stunned.

The monk walked out of the crowd with a smile, which was a courtesy.

"Amitofu!"

Only then did Sun Jucai come to his senses and turned to face the monk, which was also very polite.

The monk entered the house, closed the door, and was no longer a simple monk. He stared at Sun Jucai but said nothing. Sun Jucai showed no timidity at all, and just looked at the great monk with a smile.

Naturally, he knew the great monk. This was Erlang, and he had come to Xijin Mansion to look for him. However, at that time, the Xiao family was still full of flowers and fiery.

"How are you doing?" Huiyuan finally spoke.

"As you can see, life is really good now. In the past, Lu Hesheng was just a well-known businessman in Jijin Prefecture, but now he can definitely be ranked among the top ten." Sun Jucai said.

"I have been in Xijin Mansion for several days. I heard that you have taken refuge in Qishui County Prince's Mansion!"

"What else?" Sun Jucai looked at the great monk and said, "As soon as the Xiao Mansion fell, the kites like us outside were cut off. To be honest with the great monk, it was just a little bit short. What you see today is my grave.

No, no, no, maybe there isn’t even a grave. If I really die at that time, there will be such luxury as a grave.”

Huiyuan sighed: "It happened so suddenly. Erlang really didn't expect it."

Sun Jucai lowered his head.

"Shopkeeper Sun, not to mention Dalang, Erlang is also running a very good business now. Although the kite's string has been temporarily disconnected, as long as you are willing, the string can still be reconnected," the great monk said.

Sun Jucai smiled and said: "Monk, I have dismissed many people in the past few months, and those people have returned to the Song Dynasty."

"Understood!" Huiyuan nodded: "But there is always love. Even if we are no longer a family in the future, we can still cooperate on some things, right?"

"Without harming my new master!" Sun Jucai said: "Master monk, you are a leader in our profession. You should know that if you don't even have these rules, you will not live long."

Huiyuan stared at the other party deeply, and then said after a while: "Shopkeeper Sun, I have never seen a person who can be so calm after betrayal, especially when he sees an old acquaintance. Generally speaking, at this time,

, you should yell at me to beat me and kill me."

Sun Jucai laughed a few times: "I know how powerful Erlang is, but I don't dare to provoke him. Even the great monk, you are not a good person. Since you dare to come to see me, you have naturally made appropriate arrangements. The great monk is alone, and I am full of children and grandchildren."

.”

"No, that's not the case!" Huiyuan shook his head: "Shopkeeper Sun, I don't think you are like this. Your calmness is completely different from what you said. You are hiding something from me."

"Who doesn't have something on their mind?" Sun Jucai touched his nose and said with a smile.

Huiyuan smiled and nodded: "Shopkeeper, as I said before, I have been here in Xijin Mansion for many days, and all the people who come in and out are either rich or noble. Huiyuan's name is still valid in Xijin Mansion, so I

You can also hear a lot of things.”

"What exactly does the great monk want to say?"

"Is Sanniang really dead?" Huiyuan stared at Sun Jucai: "I heard that there is a woman living in the Qishui County Prince's Mansion now. Ye Lujun regards her as a treasure and is obedient to her. Who is this woman? You

Should you know?"

"I know!" Sun Jucai said calmly: "My surname is Xiao Mingchuo, and she is the sister of Princess Xiao Xian."

"When did Xiao Xian have a sister?" Huiyuan said in astonishment.

"I don't know the specifics, but I heard that Xiao Xian knew that she was going to die soon, so she found this woman so that her son could be taken care of. I heard that this Xiao Chuo looks like Xiao Xian

There are seven or eight likenesses." Sun Jucai said. "There are also rumors that this woman is Xiao Siwen's daughter who was born outside. Now she has been beaten back. Since Xiao Xian is already dead, Xiao Siwen wants this daughter to continue her marriage.

"

"Is that so? If that's the case, why does Xiao Siwen support Yelu Xi?"

"I don't understand this!" Sun Jucai said: "Maybe it's because Yelujun is a well-known reformist and wants to make the Liao court become like the Song Dynasty, while Xiao Siwen insists on ruling the Liao Dynasty with the laws of his ancestors.

The two sides have different opinions on politics!"

Huiyuan was silent for a moment and stood up.

"You said something good before, it's easy to get together and get together, but since we can't be a family anymore, we still have to be friends. We can still cooperate in the future."

Sun Jucai smiled and nodded.

After walking out of Luhesheng, Huiyuan went to ask for alms bowl.

From time to time in the street shops on both sides, someone would come out and put some copper coins or even broken silver into his begging bowl. Huiyuan ignored them and walked on alone.

It has been many days since I came to Xijin Mansion, but there has been no progress.

He did take a risk when he came to see Sun Jucai. Sun Jucai knew his true identity. If this person hadn't sent some people away from the Liao Kingdom some time ago, and among these people, Huiyuan happened to be offline, he would have been offline today.

He would never appear in front of Sun Jucai.

Could it be that I thought wrong?

The third lady really died in the cold palace in Bianliang.

He suddenly stopped.

wrong.

Sun Jucai talked too much.

It’s not that talking too much will lead to mistakes.

Why does he have to explain so much to himself?

He turned around and looked at the three characters of Lu Hesheng with flying dragons and phoenixes.

A crescent moon shines brightly on a shiny head.

The great monk stood on a hill and looked at Zhuangzi in the distance.

Even late at night, it was still brightly lit and noisy, and the sound of horse hooves could still be heard clearly from such a long distance.

Here, we are training day and night.

This Zhuangzi belongs to the woman in the palace.

The guards in this village also belong to that woman.

The monk stayed in Xijin Mansion for a few more days, and then got some news. These news may be just anecdotes from others, but when put together by the great monk, they outline a different story.

picture.

Today, he came here specifically to inquire about it. If he was lucky, he might get some unexpected gains.

Not only is the great monk profound in Buddhism, but he can also subjugate demons when holding a gold and steel pestle.

With Dharma in one hand, butcher's knife in the other, kind eyebrows and kind eyes on one hand, and ferocious and terrifying on the other, in the eyes of the great monk, this is the true Buddha.

The gate of Zhuangzi suddenly opened and a horse galloped out.

The great monk couldn't help but be overjoyed. The opportunity didn't just come.

The horse came straight to the hill. The great monk smiled and took out an iron mace from the baggage he was carrying.

But immediately, the monk's brows wrinkled again.

Because the rider was holding a torch and running straight in the direction where he was.

Feeling awe-struck in his heart, the great monk was about to leave.

But after looking around, he shook his head. Except for this highland, he was surrounded by endless wilderness. If that horse was really coming towards him, he wouldn't be able to escape no matter what.

Moreover, the monk did not want to run away.

If that person really came towards him, it only means that something happened as he expected.

The war horses galloped up the hill, and under the light of the torch, a ferocious-looking man with scars all over his face was approaching Monk Huiyuan with a grin on his face.

Without any preamble, the steel gun Hongying in his hand shook up a bowl of gunfire and pierced the great monk directly.

The big monk roared, holding the mace in both hands, and smashed it hard. The mace and the spear collided, sparks flew everywhere, and the horse kept stopping. However, the big monk's body spun around in a circle. After removing the force, he looked at his hand.

He took out a knife from his pocket and inserted it into the horse's butt with a loud sound.

The war horse neighed and sprang forward. The man on the horse was very skilled in equestrian skills. He reined in the horse and the war horse stood up. However, the man jumped off the horse, holding a gun in both hands, and strode towards Huiyuan.

"Amitabha!" Huiyuan chanted the Buddha's name: "Donor, why don't you stop fighting? Monk admits defeat. Can you take me to see your master?"
