"I don't know how much sincerity this Goguryeo can show. Recently, it's been building roads and that. Now the family's money is in a state of being too nervous to lose money." Gu Qing sighed and said.

"The head of the family, the envoy of Goguryeo is here again." Fan Jian came to report.

"Oh." Gu Qing said to Li Xiaogong melancholy: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao, Prince of Hejian, look at this..."

"I'll say goodbye first, come again next day." Li Xiaogong stood up after saying that, and left, he didn't forget to take away the stall of new wine. He thought about what it had to do with Cao Cao?

After seeing someone leave, Gu Qing said to Fan Jian, "Let me come in."

"yes."

Fan Jian led the Goguryeo envoy to the Gu family's lobby, and looked at the visitor Gu Qing and said politely: "Please sit down quickly and give our guests some special snacks."

The family members of the family served a bowl of fried chestnuts for the Goguryeo envoy.

"What is this?" asked the envoy of Goguryeo inquisitively.

"This is a snack, and the children at home like it very much on weekdays." Gu Qing said that he peeled one and started eating it.

The envoy of Goguryeo also learned from Gu Qing's appearance, peeled off the candy and stir-fried chestnuts, started eating, and ate one after another, exclaimed: "It is said that the Gu family's food is the best in the world. Today, when the ministers eat it, they realize that the Gu family's food is well-known, and that the ministers have good fortune."

Gu Qing asked Fan Jian to pour a cup of hot tea for someone, "If you eat too much, you will have dry mouth. It is best to drink water to moisten your mouth when you eat it."

The envoy of Goguryeo realized something was wrong. The last time Gu Qing came to him, although he didn't make any embarrassment to him, why did he be so polite this time? Thinking of it, he stopped eating and became alert.

Gu Qing continued: "The last time we came, we didn't finish our words yet, so I blamed me for having too many things on hand."

"No, no, it's my subordinates who bothered me."

"By the way, what did you want to discuss with me last time?" Gu Qing asked.

This Goguryeo subordinate stood up and bowed and said, "I am ordered to take the brother of the King of Goguryeo home."

Was ordered? I heard what the other party said, to express his determination. The other party was determined to take his brother from King Goguryeo home.

"Have you ever seen him recently?" Gu Qing said.

"Not yet." The other party replied in a low voice.

"I want to know one more thing." Gu Qing said again: "Why did you Goguryeo King want to pick that person up several times? In fact, his life in the academy is also pretty good."

"The subordinates are also on orders."

Fan Jian stood aside and said a few words to understand the other party's attitude. He must take him back. As for why he took him back, there is no need to know about the Tang Dynasty.

The Goguryeo envoy said again: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty recently opened a money house, and now it is under the Gu family."

"That's right." Gu Qing nodded calmly.

"I dare to ask Mr. Gu, it is rumored that the situation in the West is tense. The Roman expedition is preparing to annex the Dashi, heading eastward, and the Tang Dynasty is also preparing to conquer the Western expedition. But this is the case."

"The news is very well-informed. It seems that you have done a lot of homework this time." Gu Qing nodded slightly, "What, can you Goguryeo help us with some help?"

"It is because we Goguryeo is overestimating our ability to say that the Tang Dynasty is the strength of our Tang Dynasty. We Goguryeo see it, but once the Western War begins, the business road from Hou to the West will be interrupted, which is not a good thing for Hou." The envoy continued.

"If you have something to say, just speak in one breath. I don't like to drag my mind to me when others talk." Gu Qing whispered.

"Mr. Gu Hou likes to do business, which can be seen from both the Hai Trade Department and the inside and outside the Tang Dynasty." The envoy glanced at Gu Qing's face and continued: "I am willing to give advice to my King of Goguryeo and let Mr. Gu Hou's money house settle in Goguryeo."

Finally, it was time to start. Fan Jian looked at Gu Qing beside him. The face of his head of his family had not changed at all, but his face became even worse and worse.

Gu Qing stared at the envoy and said, "What? In your eyes, I, Gu Qing, are threatening you?"

"Of course not. We all follow Mr. Gu Hou's leader. We were all voluntarily in Goguryeo. We never coerced Mr. Gu Hou to say anything."

"The words are so bright." Gu Qing slapped himself with a sip of tea.

Seeing that Gu Qing still had no intention of agreeing, the envoy continued: "For the Marquis, the Gu family has a great business. Once the Western trade route is interrupted, it will not have much impact on the Gu family, but it will more or less restrict it. The ministers thought that if Mr. Hou's money house could be opened in Goguryeo, it would have a unique advantage for the future trade of Mr. Hou in the border countries."

"Do you know what my money house is for?" Gu Qing nodded and asked.

"I don't have the foresight of Mr. Gu Hou. I just know that this time, my subordinates must take our brother of King Goguryeo. As for what they have to pay, they are all voluntarily. If Mr. Gu Hou wants his subordinates to live, my subordinates will be completely unspeakable. I am willing to commit suicide here!"

Gu Qing smiled suddenly and smiled for a long time.

Fan Jian looked at the envoy and seemed to be speaking generously and honestly, but the sweat on this guy's forehead showed that he was already very nervous.

"It's really his blessing to have a character like you under the command of King Goguryeo." Gu Qing smiled and said, "It's okay to take your King Goguryeo's younger brother back, but you have to agree to me three conditions, and these three conditions are indispensable."

"Please speak with me, please." The envoy bowed and replied.

Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "The first condition is that I really want to put the money house in your Goguryeo. You Goguryeo must unconditionally agree to this."

"Yes." The envoy of Goguryeo nodded.

"Then let's talk about the second one." Gu Qing said again: "During the Western Expedition of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo wanted to withdraw troops from Liaodong City, and no soldiers were allowed to be laid in Liaodong City. This is also to prevent people from taking advantage of the situation in the war. Then we sent people to Liaodong City, and the money shop was opened in Liaodong City. From then on, the Goguryeo royal family was not allowed to intervene in everything in Liaodong City."
