Chapter 74 Xuanjin Feiyu (3)
Anjingdong City Jade Building, this Jade Building is the property of the Zhou family in Gusu, and it is also the guild hall of the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce. The decorative wood in the Jade Building all comes from the deep mountains of Lingnan, especially the jade coral, which is one-person tall in the lobby, which is ranked first in the world. There is a rule that this Jade Building does not become a member of the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce. If this Chamber of Commerce brings only two outsiders, it is all martial arts masters.
The manager of Jade Building is Zheng Zhuo from Jiangzhou. Zheng Zhuo was a famous talent in Jiangzhou when he was young and served as Zhao Dan's deputy. To a certain extent, this Jade Building is also the face of Jiangzhou in Anjing.
These days, Zhou Baiwan happened to come to Anjing from Gusu, saying that it was to come to Anjing to learn and broaden his horizons. In fact, he was here to find Li Xuansheng.
Zhou Baiwan came, and other aristocratic managers of other aristocratic families were visiting Zhou Baiwan. Zhou Baiwan showed his self-deprecating smile and warmly welcomed these aristocratic managers.
As the chief supervisor, Zheng Zhuo finally got the room to welcome Zhou Baiwan. However, Zheng Zhuo's attitude towards Zhou Baiwan was not as friendly as other supervisors.
The atmosphere was extremely awkward for a moment. Zhou Baiwan naturally smiled and refused to give him a toast. After dinner, Zhou Baiwan deliberately pretended to be drunk and was carried back to his bedroom.
The butler Gao Zhan closed the door, observed for a while, and said to Zhou Baiwan, "Young Master, you can wake up."
Zhou Baiwan turned over from the bed, his face gloomy, "Old Gao, give me a glass of warm water!"
"Yes, Master!"
"Lao Gao, do you know what Zheng Zhuo is doing recently?"
"Young Master, I heard from my subordinates that he has been approaching Xiao Yan and Lord Xiao recently. You don't know that Lord Xiao is a celebrity next to His Majesty. As long as he makes suggestions from His Majesty, he will naturally get a lot of benefits."
"This guy doesn't know how to hide. Look at his appearance today, you really forgot who belongs to this jade building?"
Gao Zhan persuaded, "Young Master, don't make a fuss with Zheng Zhuo. He is also Lord Zhao's member. Although our Zhou family is rich in Jiangzhou, it is also coveted by other aristocratic families."
"Hmph, I know. So I want to find someone to be attached to, and it is better to be a sincere friend!"
Gao Zhan continued, saying, "Young Master, the master has always wanted to be in-laws with the Minister of Rites. Should you come to Anjing to visit?"
Zhou Baiwan kicked his shoes on Gao Zhan's face and said with a stern face, "Smell Gao, has my father arranged something good for you?"
Gao Zhan smiled and said, "Young Master, look at what you said. How dare I do it!"
"And what you dare not?"
Gao Zhan suddenly thought of something, "Ah, young master, I forgot to tell you that the Prince of Luoyang is waiting for you for a long time."
Zhou Baiwan had just drunk the water and hadn't swallowed it yet. After Gao Zhan said this, he choked his throat, "Cough cough cough! Your uncle! Lao Gao, you didn't tell me when he came."
"Young Master, it's all my fault."
Zhou Baiwan immediately put on his shoes, tidy up his clothes, and Lao Gao led the way to find Li Xuansheng.
In the Qiujuya Elegant Room on the second floor of the Jade Building, Li Xuansheng and Zhou Baiwan were talking about his surprise soldier. "Xuansheng, I have only done what you want me to do. Although Mr. Ouyang cannot forge it, the craftsmen I arranged will definitely help you create a weapon that matches this surprise soldier."
Li Xuansheng naturally trusted Zhou Baiwan. This guy is an extremely smart person and is not as useless as he seems. Otherwise, his father wouldn't let him interfere in the family industry, "That's all up to you, Million."
Zhou Baiwan waved his hand and said, "What are you polite to me? It is my honor to help you build weapons. Now, you are the Ranger General, haha. I am so happy for you."
Li Xuansheng was silent for a moment and said to Zhou Baiwan, "I will go to Wuzhou next year. How much do you know about that?"
After thinking about it, Zhou Baiwan looked at Li Xuansheng, "Wuzhou? I once said from the guards of my caravan that there were mostly Miaojiang barbarians, and most of their daily lives were tribal villages. The Miaojiang barbarians were fierce, but most Miaojiang barbarians still wanted to have a stable life.
Wuzhou is a place where fish and dragons are mixed, you must be careful. There are also Baiyue people there. Baiyue people are not harmonious with the Miaojiang barbarians. They will have been fighting for a long time. If it weren’t for our Han and Tang garrison troops, Bashu would have been in chaos long ago.”
"So, I have something to do after going to Wuzhou this time."
Zhou Baiwan looked stunned, "Xuansheng, it's not Anjing there, and people often get killed. I advise you to make plans in advance."
"Well, this is natural. As for those weapons, you can build fifty sets of them first, and you can build the rest slowly. No matter what, the personal guards beside me must be equipped first."
"No problem. After the creation is completed, I will send someone to you directly to Wuzhou. By the way, I have a letter from Zong Xi to you!"
As he said that, Zhou Baiwan handed Huang Zongxi's letter to Li Xuansheng. When he opened it, he found that the content was asking Li Xuansheng to requisition them who were still in Wolong Academy!
Since Guo Fu and Li Xuansheng left the Martial Arts Academy, they have lost their former passion. Since their achievements have not met the standards they expected recently, they asked Xu Zhaolong to leave Wolong Academy on their own.
When they learned that Li Xuansheng was going to the Imperial Guard, they all wanted to come to Li Xuansheng. Li Xuansheng put away the letter and thought to himself, "Do you have come to Anjing?"
"I haven't arrived yet. No matter what, they need to come with your consent. Besides, the Imperial Guard is selected by the soldiers of the palace, but you don't have to worry, just ask Zhao Dan to stamp a seal."
Li Xuansheng replied readily, "Okay. It's just that they have to start from the lowest level. If you think you can reach the top with me, you'd be very wrong. Besides, what you want to go to is the battlefield, where you may lose your life. I don't have many friends, I just hope they think it clearly."
Zhou Baiwan nodded and said, "I will tell them the truth! If I choose to follow you, I ended up being a deserter. Zhou Baiwan looked down on me first!"
"Who wants you to look down on me!" I saw that the big cabinet beside the wall was a secret door. Huang Zongxi and others walked out of it. They rushed towards Zhou Baiwan together and beat Zhou Baiwan hard.
Zhou Baiwan lay on the ground and moaned, "You guys with no conscience! I'm helping you like this, you dare to hit me!"
Li Xuansheng looked surprised, "How come you are here?"
Huang Zongxi smiled wickedly, "Of course I'm here to find you! We decided to hang out with you in the future. Is it right?"
Luo Yi and others said in unison, "That's right! Xuan Sheng, we will hang out with you in the future."
"There is me! And I." Zhou Baiwan stood up and slapped Chen Tu and said.
Li Xuansheng thought about it and then understood, "You guys... Oh, forget it. It was still the place we went to was very dangerous. Once a business accident occurs, although you may be dead. Are you still willing to go?"
Huang Zongxi patted his chest, "Criminal, a real man joining the army is a separation of life and death, not to mention that I am also from a martial arts family, we still have this enlightenment."
Looking at the five guys in front of him, Li Xuansheng smiled, "Since you insist on coming, then come. But the ugly words are ahead. If you violate the military rules, I will not show you mercy! But if someone wants to bully you, I will fight you back."
In this way, some of the friends who followed Li Xuansheng's war years later officially came together. Fifty years later, Huang Zongxi, the 6th Marquis of Southern Six, said to his grandson, "Do you know that grandpa was the first to follow him. Hehe, if you don't believe me, ask your grandmother."
