Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 2 The Battle of Words

Thinking of this, Wufeng couldn't help but smiled wryly. Under such circumstances, in order to convince the two merchant families, apart from testing his own eloquence, he might also have to see whether the two of them are really as good as Guji said. It is said that "the vision is unique, and the land is heavy on the profit". Before going to Zhan and Wei's family, Wufeng and Xiao Tang stopped by the Chengshou Mansion, and saw that the gate was closed. After knocking on the door for a long time, an old man with white beard and hair opened the door. When asked about Yuan Ning When waiting for someone, the old man replied that he had been away for a long time. Helpless, the two had no choice but to go straight to Zhan's house. Along the way, Xiao Tang sighed endlessly, saying that the imperial government is controlled by such officials, and it is hard not to fail.

When the two came to the Zhan's house in the north of the city under the **** of the guards, although everyone here was busy cleaning up, they seemed very calm. It seemed that the owner of the house had long been prepared for such a situation. When Wufeng explained that he wanted to see the owner of the Zhan family, the butler who received him said that the owner was not available and it was difficult to receive him at this time. Under Wufeng's repeated request, he took out the letter of introduction and asked the butler to hand it over. The master decided to see him or not, so the middle-aged butler agreed impatiently.

----Soon, the middle-aged housekeeper responded with a much more respectful attitude, and led the two of them to an ordinary-looking reception room, where there was already a person waiting. Wu Feng first looked at this reception room. Although this room looks ordinary, but a closer inspection reveals that it is extraordinary. The floor is made of rather elegant oak wood, and several exquisitely crafted sandalwood grand masters The big chair looks like it was made by a famous artist, and the whole room exudes a faint fragrance. The simple splashed ink on the front wall, Xiao Tang recognized at a glance that it was the masterpiece of Guan Tianyong, a master of contemporary painting.

----The person in the room originally had his back to the door, as if he was appreciating calligraphy hanging on the wall. After Wufeng and Xiao Tang arrived, the person turned his head, showing a very mediocre thin face Wrinkled, with a goatee under the jaw, it is difficult to make people feel that there is anything extraordinary about this person, but Wufeng does not see it that way. A person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea cannot be measured. This sentence will never be out of date. In this troubled world, especially in Qingyang, where there is a lot of chaos, it is not easy to lead a group of people to gain a firm foothold, and being able to stand still despite the wind and rain shows the weight of the person in front of him.

---- "The two of you have arrived, and I'm sorry for being far away. Please forgive me." While greeting them warmly, they were invited to their seats. "Master Li is brother Gu's friend. Please forgive me for offending one of Zhan's subordinates just now. However, it is indeed a coincidence that Master Li came here. I am afraid that the Lord also knows that the imperial army suffered a disastrous defeat today. Now the Luobei people may have killed them." We have entered Guide Mansion and Bonan Mansion, and I believe it will not be long before the troops of the Luobei people will step into Qingyang Mansion City." The master pointed out the current situation calmly, but kept silent about the two intention.

---- Time is running out, and Wufeng doesn't want to go around in circles, so he cut straight to the point: "Mr. Zhan, I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Today, I come to visit because of a request." "Oh? As long as Zhan can do what he can, I will never refuse." "Mr. Cai also mentioned just now that the frontline troops of the empire have been defeated, and the enemy has already chased them into the territory of the empire. I don't know what you think of this matter?" There was an indescribable sadness on his face , "What can you think? I'm just a businessman. I'm not in my position and I don't plan for politics. How can I have any opinions?" He quickly calmed down again, "Mr. Zhan's words are wrong. Don't you hear about the rise and fall of the world?" Everyone is responsible, not to mention that the Zhan family is the largest family in Qingyang Mansion, and Mr. Zhan is the head of the Zhan family, so he has a heavy responsibility, how can he justify it with the excuse that he is not in his position and not seeking his own government?" The sharp The words and the aggressive tone made Zhan Zhaobai couldn't help but look carefully at the middle-aged man who came with Wufeng, "Sir, you are serious. Although Zhan is stupid, he also knows that everyone is responsible for protecting the country, but today The imperial court is cowardly and incompetent, and local mediocre officials are in power, even if Zhan has the heart to do so, he is incapable of doing so!" Zhan Zhaobai let out a long sigh. "Oh? If Mr. Zhan really has the intention, there is a chance to realize it now." Wu Feng climbed up the pole and interjected. Zhan Shaobai was not surprised when he heard the words: "Lord Li, let's not go around in circles anymore. Since you are brother Gu's friend, that is Zhan's friend, just tell us what your purpose is for coming here today." "Okay, talk quickly. I came here today to ask Mr. Zhan to help our troops defend Qingyang City and repel the invasion of the Luobei people."

----Zhan Zhaobai was a little surprised. Although he had a premonition, he didn't expect this young man to ask such a difficult question. "Oh? My lord has great ambitions, but I don't know how many soldiers and horses my lord has now?" "About six thousand." Xiao Tang Dai Wufeng replied. "My lord also knows that the Luobei people have more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the gap between the enemy and ourselves is so great, so how can you be sure to repel the enemy? My lord, please don't say such things as being righteous and full of blood. I am a Businessmen, businessmen are the most practical, since your lord has put forward such a proposal, you must be sure about it~IndoMTL.com~ I want to hear what your lord will do to convince me to accept this proposal?" Haha smiled, Wufeng was confident A hundred times said: "Mr. Zhan, don't worry, if Li is not sure, how dare you come to preach?" "Well, Zhan will listen carefully."

---- Zhan Zhao Bai Zuo Xu invited the two to sit down, Wu Feng was not humble, he sat at the head, and then he talked about what he had just said to Xiao Liang and Cui, from Luo Bei people Let's talk about the deployment of troops, the attrition in the battle with the imperial army, and the combat objectives and disadvantages of the Luobei people, and then talk about the supplement of our own troops, the advantages of weapons, armaments and logistics materials, and the advantages and disadvantages of the combat plan. His eyes were bright and his mood was surging. Finally, Wufeng concluded: "If I can get the help of the Zhan family and other charismatic people with lofty ideals, and mobilize the support of the people in the city, I believe that I have a good chance of defeating the enemy's attack." What's more, I have already sent a request for help to Taixuan Mansion and the garrisons of Guanxi County and Heshuo County, and it is estimated that there will be results soon."

---- As soon as the words fell, a "Okay!" came from outside the door, and a middle-aged burly man walked in, his voice was like a bell, "My surname is Wei, so I bet on this treasure with adults." Who is it?" Wufeng and Xiao Tang stood up, "This is the master of the Wei family in Qingyang, Wei Dongchen." Zhan Zhao stood up with a white smile and introduced, "I think you two have found the Zhan family. , I will definitely visit the Wei family, and I will not bother the two hosts, so I simply invited brother Wei." "It seems that Mr. Zhan knew our intentions as soon as we came?" Yes." Zhan Zhaobai replied with a smile. "Master Li, my surname is Wei, I am a straightforward person. I have heard what you said just now outside the door. I believe that Brother Zhan has already made up his mind. Your Excellency also knows that Brother Zhan and I They are all businessmen, and businessmen must talk about their profits. Although what your lord said just now
