Chapter 115 Bewitching Trap
Di Xiao watched the veil being blown by the wind, revealing a beautiful jawline and fair skin under the curtain.
What kind of beauty is this little boy?
Di Xiao was encouraged by the eagerness to move, he said: "Your husband is not good, such a lovely young man, you still have to ask him to show his face to make a living. Why don't you follow me, and I will build a golden house to hide you."
"Really?" Yan Xi laughed softly, elbowed the case, leaned slightly and said, "How big is the golden house? It's not enough, I don't like it."
"Why don't you let me see, young master, how much are you worth?" Di Xiao and Yan Xi separated the Eight Immortals Table, which was two arms wide, watching the white gauze meandering to the table while Yan Xi leaned over intentionally or unintentionally.
He was only a size away from the white gauze, and he could touch it with a flick of a finger, and it could be torn off with a little force.
It's not Di Xiao's style not to taste the temptation right in front of him. Just as he stretched out his hand, Yan Xi sat up straight again.
Bai Sha followed Yan Xi's posture and slid to the edge of the desk.
Pity.
Nearly got a bite and ran away again.
Originally, Di Xiao just wanted to tease people, but he was caught by Yan Xi's willingness to talk.
He couldn't see Yan Xi's expression clearly, but he could vaguely feel Yan Xi's inexplicable teasing. The young man who was as untouchable as snow on a mountain last time seemed to come down from the clouds this time, hinting at him vaguely.
Di Xiao felt a certain desire to conquer.
The more you can't get it, the more restless you will be.
He, Di Xiao, has never gotten anyone. Such a man's plaything dares to take Joe to such an extent in front of him.
Di Xiao is a person who is good at calculation, and he remembered that he came to buy food today.
Last time he took 200,000 shi of grain from the Heqing, plus the stocks from previous years, his army grain was only enough for one and a half months.In the business we talked about last time, there was still 200,000 shi of grain on the way. His guarantee today was to get the remaining 200,000 shi of grain, and secondly, to buy new grain.
Ever since he knew that the governor of the Western Region was Prince Da Jing, he knew that Da Jing's food could not be easily bought, and Heqing was so courageous that he did not dare to cooperate with the enemy and sell food under the nose of His Highness the Prince.
Originally, Mo Di grain shop was his way out, but Mo Di grain shop was evacuated within a few days, he had no choice but to come to Da Jing grain shop.
However, without Da Jing's Jiang family, Di Xiao has nowhere to rely.Talked about a lot of food business, only Heqing has enough food and enough courage.
Di Xiao felt some kind of danger as the follow-up twenty thousand shi grains of the Heqing were evasive and refused to deliver. But now Mo Di is short of grain, and if it is not resolved before winter, not to mention war after that, even the common people will find it difficult to live.
He had to come himself.
Yan Xi looked at Di Xiao inexplicably, withdrew his hand from the desk, sat up straight and said, "Boss Wu is almost unable to afford food, and still wants to build a gold house?"
"Young master, how do you know that I won't be able to afford food anymore?" Di Xiao stared at Yan Xi and said, "Is it you who messed up Mo Di's money and food prices?"
Yan Xi sat in the heavy winter atmosphere, but he was not affected by the gloomy sky outside. He said calmly: "Everyone in the grain business knows about your Modi. We are just a grain business. How can there be such a thing?"Big enough to mess up your Mo Di market? To make such a big commotion, how much food and silver do you need? Do you think this is the strength that a grain company can have? And the business is not worth it,Why should I collect silver at a high price and grain at a high price?"
"Your Da Jing state treasury is empty, and the money in the treasury is not even as much as in the former Jiang family's private treasury. Emperor Tianxi's treasury can't spend so much money on Modi's market, and all the big families have collapsed.Not to mention no firm has such strength." Di Xiao said with condensed eyes, "There must be a source for the chaos in the Mo Di market, sir, can you point me to a clear path?"
"Want to know?" Yan Xi dug out the private treasury of the Jiang family long ago. After he merged with Song Beiming's silver warehouse and granary, his wealth was far beyond Di Xiao's imagination.No one knew about Jing, and Mo Di couldn't figure out their origin even more.
Yan Xi rested her hands on the edge of the table, showing a little of her wrists.The ruby bracelet slid out of the cuffs, and the pearl light was shockingly brilliant on the slender white wrists. He seemed to think of something, and suddenly he was in a good mood, and said softly, "Come here, I'll tell you."
Di Xiao's eyes were attracted by the bracelet, it was as red as blood, contrasting with the whiteness of that small wrist like flowing water, making people want to grab a handful and taste it.
How can a man have such a good appearance, his wrists and fingers are soft and full of strength, it's better to do other things.
Di Xiao asked himself that he was not a person obsessed with beauty, he could get any beauty at his fingertips, but he met someone who couldn't see clearly, couldn't eat, and was full of airs.
He was hooked to scratch his heart and lungs, if this person was not still holding food in his hands, he would have carried him away immediately.
Di Xiao didn't believe that Yan Xi would tell him so easily, so he sat still and said, "Young Master, are you so kind?"
Yan Xi slowly raised his teacup, took a sip and said, "If the business is concluded, I don't mind giving you some benefits."
"Then let's talk about business first." Seeing Yan Xi's wrist slipping out of his toast, Di Xiao felt even more restless, so he had to suppress it and said, "The previous 200,000 shi grains will arrive within a month. In addition,I want to buy another 400,000 stone grains."
"For the remaining 200,000 shi of grain, it will be considered good if Heqing can deliver the goods." Yan Xi said in embarrassment, "Boss Wu also said just now that His Royal Highness has come to the Western Region to strictly control grain and other military equipment.No matter how big or small a grain store in a Region is, how much grain it buys, how much it sells, and where it sells to, all of them need to be registered. Even if it’s missing a stone, it will be found out. We, Heqing, have no guts to do new business..”
Di Xiao had already predicted this would be the case, and instead of forcing new business, he just said: "Then just talk about the remaining two hundred thousand shi, and I can accept the price of two taels of silver for a shi."
Yan Xi seemed to hear some joke, and said with a cold smile: "Two taels won't work, I need three taels."
"Three liang? The young master sits on the floor and starts the price, so you're not afraid of smashing the bowl?" Di Xiao asked about the market price, and the current price is two and a half. Heqing's lion opened his mouth so much because he was sure that he would not be able to buy food.
He was instantly furious, feeling that this beauty was too femme fatale, and said with a sneer, "I originally thought that your Heqing name is a grain merchant in Da Jing, and you are deliberately delaying the time. There is a bit of national justice in it, as long as you give enough money., you have taken care of your face and face, and the business can still be done. Now that you offer this price, you don’t want to talk about it at all. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that you still step up your armaments on the western border, so you are not afraid that we Mo Di will not talk about it, Mo Di Royal Court will immediately start a war with Da Jing?"
"Boss Wu's thinking like this doesn't look like the boss of a food company, but you seem to be worried about the whole Mo Di." Yan Xi knew that the other party was testing him, but at this time he was pretending to be stupid and pretending to be deliberate.
He said bluntly, "Nowadays, grain inspections in the Western Region are strict, and new business is risky. Fortunately, there is still a reason to do the orders that were made before. We open the door to sell grain, and there is no reason not to do business. The remaining twoNaturally, we want to sell one hundred thousand shi of grain. I believe Boss Wu has also asked outside. No one in the industry can supply more than 10,000 shi of grain.Give me enough sweetness. Moreover, I am just a businessman, and it is not my turn to decide the war between the two countries. Boss Wu, you have to distinguish who you are talking to."
Di Xiao felt relieved when he heard that the young master was only interested in profit.He had always been worried that Heqinghao had ulterior motives, but looking at it now, this Heqinghao was no different from the original Qian and Bai families—both were merchants who made money from the country's calamity, only wanted money, and didn't need integrity.
Di Xiao still has the silver that the Jiang family paid tribute in the past, so it is no problem to buy 200,000 shi of grain, but it is not a long-term solution to sit and eat.
Now there is money, but no food.
People need food, and wars need food.
However, now even Prince Da Jing has come to the Western Region, Da Jing will never make any compromises, and Mo Di has only this year left.When the Western Region recovers, it will be even more difficult to fight, and a battle this winter is imperative.
Originally, Di Xiao could raise his troops south at any time, but the Mo Di market collapsed, and the young master refused several times, which delayed him until now.
Di Xiao hated this kind of feeling of being manipulated. He faintly felt a very large net opening towards him, but he couldn't see it clearly.Simple, he squinted his eyes: "You at least let me know, who are you? Is Dajing's prince your backer?"
Yan Xi laughed out loud as if hearing some wild night talk, and said, "Why did Boss Wu guess it was the prince?"
Di Xiao stared at Yan Xi with good eyesight: "This is the year when your Heqing name became famous, and it was the year when Prince Da Jing showed his talents. Now the biggest family of Da Jing has been wiped out, and the following small family is oneYou can't take care of yourself, no family has the ability to get through the relationship of Quan Dajing. To do business like Heqing, you have to be an imperial merchant. However, the Da Jing royal family is almost dead. Your backer is either Emperor Da Jing orPrince, what a coincidence, when you came to the western region, it was the time when the prince was taking office, young master, you are the ones who caused chaos in our Mo Di market, right?"
Yan Xi didn't answer according to Di Xiao's words, but asked slowly: "Why don't you tell me who you are? Ordinary grain merchants don't need to buy 800,000 shi of grain. What you want to buy is military rations? Mo DiNow it is Zuo Xian Wang Di Xiao who is assisting the government, and you are relying on Di Xiao?"
Di Xiao found that this young man was really difficult to deal with, the real and the fake were mixed together, so he couldn't tell the difference.If the other party is eager to deny or try to cover up, he will be suspicious.That's why, Dafangfang talked freely, and the other party responded with whatever he said, which made him uncertain.
"It's such a troublesome guessing, why don't we explain it to each other?" Di Xiao sat back in his chair and said, "You take off the curtain first."
The north wind blew outside the window, and the wind blew the white gauze of the curtain, Yan Xi's lower face was exposed, he did not raise his hand to block it, but was moved by the wind, and once again gently invited: "You come, Ishow you."
Wei Chifeng and Zi Yuan pressed their hands on the weapons in good time.
Di Xiao stood up arrogantly, came to Yan Xi, bent down to take off Yan Xi's white veil.
Yan Xi turned his head to avoid it, he got up, raised his hand and lightly pressed Di Xiao's shoulder.
Di Xiao is so sensitive, martial arts practitioners would not allow others to get so close. When Di Xiao was accumulating strength in his hands, he felt Yan Xi's fingers were soft and boneless, and they slid gently across his shoulders.Relax.
Today, the young master showed his affection many times, which made Di Xiao feel a certain kind of subtle complacency, so Di Xiao didn't resist immediately, but greedily watched Yan Xi lift the curtain.
This time, actually saw it.
It was a face that was all over the country and the city, and Di Xiao was dumbfounded.
How could a man have such an appearance.
Before this, Di Xiao had always felt that Da Jing's beauty was too weak, he didn't like beauty that would break if he pinched it, but the face in front of him was gentle and heroic.
It's too aesthetic for him.
Really, Da Jing's mountains and rivers are really good, and they can raise such talented people.
Di Xiao was dazzled by this beauty.
His thoughts were quick and he was very vigilant. He vaguely realized that something was wrong, and the alarm bell immediately sounded - because he had long heard that His Royal Highness's color was the best in Dajing, and this face could not be someone else's.
The master made a move, and in the blink of an eye, he lost the upper hand, and the knife flashed in front of his eyes.
Normally speaking, with Di's skill, even a first-class expert would never think of hurting him, but the light of the saber was so fast that it chased him like a shadow, and retreated at his speed, but he couldn't dodge it.
There was a pain in his chest, he hummed reluctantly, and grabbed Yan Xi's hand with his backhand.
There was a knife on Sezi's head, and Di Xiao was stabbed in the chest because of his stunned distraction.If he hadn't avoided it quickly enough, the knife would have killed him.
"You know martial arts, do you think you can kill me like this?" Di Xiao exerted force on his hand, tightening his five fingers like eagle claws, trying to twist the slender hand bones, and said fiercely, "Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Di Xiao." Yan Xi didn't deny it, and he didn't choose to withdraw his hand. He was extremely calm and reckless in the battle. His free hand took out a dagger out of nowhere, and swiped at Di Xiao, "I know."What do you want today?"
