After Rebirth, I Became a Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Nan Baoyi froze.

She had no doubt that if Gu Chongshan was offended at this time, the sharp golden armor would goug out her eyes.

How should I answer?

...

When Nan Baoyi went to the west room, the hall.

A handsome middle-aged man approached Xiao Yi.

He bowed his hands respectfully: "Cao Min greets Lord Hou."

Xiao Yi raised his eyebrows.

"Caomin is the owner of Wanjia Grain Farm and the chairman of the Shu County Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce. Entrusted by his peers, he came to this banquet specially to discuss something with Lord Hou."

Boss Wan paused, and continued with a smile on his face: "Now there is a severe drought in Shu County, and the crops in the fields have not been harvested. Going to the northwest, the drought is even more severe, causing people to buy and hoard rice grains. I will wait for the grain merchants to discuss carefully. After that, I plan to double the price of rice, I wonder if Lord Hou is willing to participate?"

Hong Laojiu monopolizes half of the grain market in Shu County.

After his death, Xiao Yi's people took over all the store business.

If the members of the Grain Merchant Chamber of Commerce wanted to increase the price, they had to join forces with Xiao Yi to raise the price together.

Otherwise, what's the use of them raising the price? Half of the rice shops in Shu County still sell grain at the original price!

Xiao Yi drank watermelon juice slowly.

Wan Laojiu was not sure about his attitude, and said flatteringly: "Master Hou, this is a great opportunity for us to make a fortune! Tomorrow we will double the price of grain, and then double it again in a while, and in autumn and winter, we will double it ten times in one go. , the common people have to buy it if they don’t buy it, and worry about not earning a lot of money?”

Watermelon juice is sweeter than corn juice.

Xiao Yi asked casually: "How did you know that this Marquis is in charge of the Hong Family Rice Shop?"

"Hey, I waited to scrape together 10,000 taels of silver and bought this news from Yulouchun. Hou Ye, taking advantage of the drought to make a fortune, is a profitable business. It's a once-in-a-lifetime business, and the time is not waiting for me!"

"Don't do it."

Xiao Yi refused without thinking.

Boss Wan's expression was stiff, "Master Hou, why don't you do such a good deal?"

Xiao Yi took another sip of watermelon juice,

Danfeng's eyes are rare and gentle, "I promised her that I would not let a single citizen of Shu County starve to death."

Wan Laojiu remained silent.

Although I don't know who this "she" is, it is obviously a woman.

For the sake of a mere woman, you should be sick if you don't do such a good business!

"Master Hou, don't blame me for not reminding you that our grain merchants were not annexed by Hong Laojiu at the beginning because there were people behind us. What you do will offend many dignitaries and cut off people's wealth, such as killing parents. It may not end well!"

Xiao Yi put down the empty lamp.

He got up lazily, and gave Boss Wan a condescending look.

Immediately, he sneered and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Boss Wan was annoyed.

Master Wan came over and asked curiously, "Father, what did Jingxihou say? Did you agree to join us?"

"I didn't agree." Boss Wan said fiercely, "Go back and report to the prefect, and ask him to make a decision. In any case, this drought is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune, and we must not miss it!"

outside the hall.

Rockery and flowing water, gold leaf screen.

"What about you, would you like to serve me?"

The nine-thousand-year-old with dark eyebrows stretched out his sharp dark gold armor, and outlined Nan Baoyi's eyebrows with a low smile.

Nan Baoyi closed his eyes.

The appearance of the powerful minister emerged in his mind.

She knew that this life must be different from the previous life.

Infinite courage surged from the bottom of her heart, she brushed away Gu Chongshan's hand, and quickly backed away.

She stood still in the light, folded her hands in front of her chest, raised her white and tender chin, and said with a cold face, "I am the younger sister of Marquis Jingxi, the fifth girl from Nanfu. Even the imperial envoy has never molested a commoner girl." power?"

The night wind blew her flower-blue gauze skirt.

The girl's skin is whiter than snow, and she stands gracefully in the blood moon, like a painting of a beautiful lady on peony rice paper.

Especially those red phoenix eyes, hooked inside and curled up outside, shining brightly, are shockingly beautiful.

"The beauty is beyond the skin." Gu Chongshan praised with great interest, but suddenly changed the topic, "It's a pity that the glitz is like a dream bubble, the hibiscus and the white noodles, but the fleshy skeleton, will eventually disappear into a pile of loess. Miss Nan is in her blooming season, why don't she just be here?" If you die tonight, you will also be free from the pain of birth, old age, sickness and death."

His tone was very gentle, and he was clearly planning to kill, but it seemed to be a gift.

Nan Baoyi gritted his teeth.

He told her to die tonight, so as not to suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death in the future, but why didn't he die himself?

"Birth, old age, sickness, death, parting from love, long-term grievances, not being able to ask, not being able to let go, these are the eight sufferings of Buddhism. However, Buddhism cultivates the afterlife and Taoism cultivates this life. My sister is a disciple of Taoism. Even if the rest of her life is flooded, she is willing to live It must be vigorous, charming, and endlessly alive."

A cold voice sounded indifferently.

Looking back at Nan Baoyi, the powerful minister was standing not far away, facing Gu Chongshan tit for tat.

His thin lips hooked lightly: "Jiaojiao, come to brother."

Nan Baoyi raised his eyebrows.

All the fear, the moment he saw him, disappeared without a trace.

She held a wide gauze skirt and walked towards him lightly like a cloud.

Gu Chongshan tilted his head.

He raised his hand.

There was a row of poisonous needles hidden in the long dark golden armor, and as his wrist was turned, the poisonous needles broke through the wind and struck Nan Baoyi's back!

It's a deadly cold arrow!

Xiao Yi held Nan Baoyi in his arms, brushed his wide sleeves, and the wind howled.

That detoxification needle attacked Gu Chongshan!

Gu Chongshan tilted his head slightly.

The poisonous needle rubbed against his cheek, and aggressively inserted into the rockery.

This secret game only happened in an instant, and the others only felt two gusts of wind.

Nan Baoyi raised his head and smiled sweetly: "Second brother, shall we go back to the banquet hall?"

"Okay." Xiao Yi touched her face with a smile, raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Chongshan, "Shu County is the territory of this Marquis, and the people of Shu County are the people under the rule of this Marquis, even the dogs of Shu County are the same. Benhou's dog. Please think twice before Jiuqianzuo kills people next time."

After Xiao Yi left with Nan Baoyi, the eunuch of Xichang, who was about to strangle Liu Lian'er to death with a white silk, had a poisonous needle sticking out of his forehead.

The toxin spread quietly.

He maintained a shocked expression, fell to the ground and died.

Liu Lian'er knelt down on the ground, clutching her bruised neck, she was frightened out of her wits, her skirt smelled foul.

She and Huang Yin didn't dare to go to see Gu Chongshan at all, and fled here scrambling.

Gu Chongshan kept staring at Xiao Yi's back.

His voice was low and hoarse: "The Marquis of Jingxi may have made a mistake, Shu County is Xue Dingwei's territory."

"temporary."

Xiao Yi didn't even turn his head.

His figure disappeared from Gu Chongshan's sight.

A small voice suddenly sounded.

With the detoxification needle as the center, countless gaps were opened on the rockery.

But in an instant, the towering rockery collapsed.

Gu Chongshan patted the dust on the official robe, with disgusted eyes: "Mushen."

Back in the hall, the lights were bright and the shadows on the temples and clothes were fragrant, dispelling the haze brought by the blood moon.

Nan Baoyi followed Xiao Yi to his seat, took the hot almond tea he handed over, and took a sip in shock.

The almond tea has a milky fragrance, which gradually calmed her mind.

"Are you scared?"

Xiao Yi supported his chest with one hand, and asked with a smile.
