Jiang Fugui was stunned for a long time. He was not deaf. He could hear every word clearly, but he didn't know why he couldn't understand them all.

"Sir, how could Zezhou County be lost? Although Zezhou County has a large area and is convenient for cavalry, these barbarians are all grandsons on horseback. If you just wander around for a while and don't go back, aren't you looking for death?"

The Hu people often went south to plunder, but they could hardly stay for a long time. Because they had almost no logistical supplies, they went south just to rob things. After robbing, everyone had to carry a lot of things, making it basically impossible to fight.

Sometimes there is no need to send troops, and the major cities guarding the city can make them afraid to stay for a long time.

Once the large army arrives, they will definitely die.

Qin Mian on the side said: "I'm afraid it's not as simple as Hu Qi. There are local forces colluding with the Hu people to rebel, and I heard that the imperial court is preparing to recall the general of the country."

"So Fugui, if you go to the south first, you can leave a way out for me."

Gu Wen turned to Qin Mian and said, "Thank you for your service, General Qin. These fifty taels of silver are my thanks. If you want to go south for a while in the future, you can come with me."

Qin Mian looked happy, knowing that he had half a foot under Gu Wen's command, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Wen."

However, Gu Wen didn't believe him, so he couldn't hide the arrangement for Jiang Fugui to go to the south. At the same time, he could test the Zhao family's attitude through this matter.

If he doesn't leave, can his men leave?

The next day, Gu Wen got the news that Jiang Fugui failed to escape and was stuck with a customs clearance document by the Water Transport Department.

Later, through some connections, he successfully sent Jiang Fugui and his family out.

From this, Gu Wen determined that the Zhao family had no intention of letting him go from the beginning to the end, but it was probably not because he was aware of his cultivation. The basis was that he could send people away through his connections.

Because any order is time-sensitive, it will be extremely strict initially and will become more lax if there is no movement later.

In this case, there must be spies in the mansion, and the personal guards, servants, and hospital guards all have problems.

Gu Wen called Qin Mian, and they met in private. He got straight to the point and said, "General Qin, how do you feel about your current situation?"

At present, he is the least suspicious, because if he is an informant, Jiang Fugui will not be able to leave Bianjing.

Qin Mian was stunned for a moment and did not answer immediately. Instead, he observed Gu Wen's expression.

Gu Wen continued: "I think Bianjing is not safe now. There are barbarians in the north who have been fighting with the border troops for several years, and there are Hu cavalry in the interior who have occupied a county. Gu purchased some land in Nanshui in his early years. If you want to leave this place in Bianjing temporarily, I would like to listen to the advice of the ten generals of Qin."

With such straightforward words and deeds, Qin Mian did not hide it anymore and said: "Going back to Mr. Wen, I will tell you the truth that the war in the border army has been anxious. Now that the general and some elites are recalled to quell the rebellion, the border area will be lost."

"But the imperial court has no choice but to do this. If the barbarians are allowed to stand firm in Zezhou County, the land of Shendu will be completely exposed to the iron hoof of the enemy. Therefore, the imperial court will definitely be able to suppress the rebellion, and Mr. Wen does not need to worry."

Gu Wen said: "It's only temporary. It's better to go to Nanshui to establish a foothold and live in peace for the rest of my life."

It's normal for him to want to leave, at least outsiders can't fault him. It's strange for a businessman to not want to escape in troubled times.

"What does Mr. Wen mean?"

"I have something that I need you to send me to the station. If you are willing, you can follow me to Nanshui."

The Yizhan document is equivalent to a Daqian pass. Normally, it is impossible to buy it, but nowadays, reselling government items is very serious in Bianjing and even Daqian. As long as you have connections and money, you can basically buy anything.

Qin Mian looked delighted and said, "Yes."

He was originally just a small soldier in the imperial army, but now he became a tenth general thanks to Gu Wen. As a man in the military camp, Qin Mian was actually not optimistic about Da Gan. He knew very well how corrupt Da Gan's army was.

It is easy to say that the frontier army is managed by General Wenwu, and there is no doubt about the combat effectiveness of the frontier army. However, except for the frontier army, the armies in other places in Daqian and even the Bianjing Forbidden Army are actually half paralyzed.

If he can run, he will definitely want to run, and he recognizes Gu Wen's ability, so it won't be a problem to have a full meal with him.

Another day passed and the document was bought.

Gu Wen confirmed that there was nothing wrong with Qin Mian, and at the same time, the Zhao family's surveillance of him had neither weakened nor suddenly strengthened.

'The Zhao family doesn't know that I have cultivation skills yet. If they knew, I'm afraid the imperial army would have surrounded this place.'

He did not intend to run, because Bianjing could still allow him to quickly obtain the Heavenly Essence and Imperial Essence. And as his strength continued to improve, just like a snowball, Gu Wen's acquisition of resources would only become faster and faster.

Any unruly actions now will only alert the enemy, so it is better to refine the medicine and fruit first. Now that they have the strength, all the actions of the Zhao family are vain.

In the afternoon of the same day, Gu Wen received a letter from the commander of the guards in front of the palace, delivered by Qin Mian. He did not know the grudge between Gu and Zhao, and walked into the room with a happy face.

"That's great Master Wen, His Highness the Ninth Prince is not dead!"

Gu Wen, who was finishing his meal, had slightly cold eyes. He gently put down his chopsticks, took the letter and glanced at it. The general content was that Zhao Feng was not dead and was still recovering in the Tai Hospital.

He smiled sincerely and said, "It's good that he's not dead. I'm really afraid that he is."

If Zhao Feng died, he wouldn't know what he would do in Bianjing besides collecting heavenly marrow.

【Twenty years of Tianmui】

Gu Wen looked at the sack that was missing more than half of the medicinal fruits. He felt sick just seeing the red fruits because he had eaten too many medicinal fruits.

But most of the time, life is about eating shit, and he has to swallow it even if he doesn't need it.

He closed his eyes and continued to refine the medicinal properties. Now his Qi sea has changed from a bucket to a large bathtub. It should be able to turn into a pool after breaking through to the third level.

In the middle of the night, Gu Wen opened his eyes, put on his night clothes, and took along the Dragon Tiger Pill and the Ning Dao Pill.

Today is the agreed time to buy a magic weapon. The seller is the descendant of Qianlong Villa, the second best military strategist. Gu Wen wants to buy a spiritual treasure from the other party to make up for his lack of weapons and further enhance his strength.

------------------

Dragon Bridge under the moon.

He Huan and a strong 'big man' stood under the bridge. The river reflected the bright moon, which moved with the waves of the river.

Dragon Bridge has been heavily guarded recently. Their stay here should have quickly attracted the attention of the Imperial Army, but an invisible film covered their figures.

Gu Wen used magic power to focus his eyes in the distance to see the two of them. He moved with falling moon steps, and his body looked like a ghost. After three moves, he landed ten steps away from He Huan.

He Huan and the big man turned their heads and looked at each other, only to see a man dressed in black and wearing a bamboo hat walking towards them.

The former came with a smile. He Huan showed his aura slightly and said with a smile: "Brother Hongchen, I wonder if the Daoji will be improved after taking the Condensing Dao Pill. Although I did not take the Condensing Dao Pill, I was lucky enough to break through the second level of the Daoji.

"

As soon as he finished speaking, the subtle aura on Gu Wen's body was revealed, and there was a faint red dragon hovering.

With an incomparably thick and full aura, the peak of the second level Dao Foundation is no different from the third level. In He Huan's eyes, it is clearly the third level Dao Foundation, and it is not a state of deficit that has just broken through the mana consumption.

He Huan's smile stopped abruptly.

Gu Wen said in a low voice: "Pindao was lucky enough to make a breakthrough."

When going out, face is given by oneself. Monk communication is based on the level of cultivation. Hiding is to protect oneself, and showing is to let others cater to oneself and enhance one's own value.

The same business negotiation, the same price, Gu Wen's negotiation and Jiang Fugui's negotiation often have two results. Jiang Fugui still needs to negotiate the price, while Gu Wen makes unilateral demands.

Without Gu Wen's need to speak, the 'big man' behind him had already stepped forward, cupped his hands and said:

"Eighth on the land list, heir of Qianlong Villa, Murong Suyue has met Brother Taoist."

The voice is soft, like a yellow flower in spring.

Gu Wen had a strange look on his face. He looked at the other person again and suddenly thought that the person in front of him was probably ten feet tall as he had told Yu Hua before.

Like a woman.

The neck has no Adam's apple and is all thick muscles. It can be said to be made of copper poured into iron.
