Chapter 226 That Would Be Interesting

Xu land.

When Cao Jiu returned to his home, he had a smile on his face and his whole person was in a state of excitement.

"Tell the servants in the mansion to take good care of that little beauty and send her to my room at night."

"promise!"

After his men took their leave, Cao Jiu thought for a while and called the servant.

"There is no need to change into the mourning clothes she is wearing."

Cao Jiu rubbed his hands and waited until everyone had retreated, leaving him alone in the room, pacing anxiously, as if waiting for the night to come.

However, the arrival of the uninvited guest spoiled Cao Jiu's mood.

"Are all the birds so casual when they come to my general's house now?"

Cao Jiu's dissatisfaction did not make Lu Mei look panicked. He stood at the edge of the window calmly, his whole body curled up.

"General, I'm just here to remind you that the money for the night is due?"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, what's the point? Ye Mu still cares about my little money?"

Cao Jiu's voice sounded angry. In fact, even his interest in having flowers and candles in the bridal chamber at night was ruined by Green Eyebrow.

"Although the world doesn't know it, the cooperation between the general and Ye Mu was short-lived but quite smooth. In order to help the general stabilize the situation here, Ye Mu spent a lot of material and manpower. General, don't forget that to be able to successfully control the military power, without Ye Mu It’s not that easy to get help.”

Cao Jiu sat down. Indeed, if the night had not secretly helped him understand the disadvantages, the border would not be so stable. The rebuke from the King of Han would have been long ago.

This is the danger of the night. It has penetrated deeply into the Korean government and can even determine the fate of the generals guarding the outside.

After all, the situation here is complicated, and being a general here is also a very difficult job.

There is the Wei army in the east, the Chu army in the south, and the Qin army in the west.

For the night, it is either an enemy or a friend, and if it is not its ally, it is an enemy.

Without Ye Mu's help, even a small mistake might be magnified by Ye Mu, which would become the reason for Cao Jiu to dismiss his official position.

"The recent trip was not going well. Not only did I not make any money, I also lost a lot."

"oh?"

Green Eyebrow did not show impatience, but showed considerable interest.

"Will the general's dead soldiers also fail against the guards of those merchants in Xinzheng City?"

"As you know, after a few times, the big merchants noticed something fishy and refused to take over. I used threats and deceptions to trick a few merchants into delivering goods, but my brothers failed."

"Which gang did they invite?"

"Qijuetang!"

It is naturally not that easy to get shelter in the night, and you need to pay a protection fee. For Cao Jiu, this protection fee was not a small amount. As a last resort, he even resorted to cheating methods.

Pay a deposit and let merchants in big cities such as Xinzheng transport a large amount of goods to a designated location, and then arrange for dead men to ambush them on the way, thus obtaining this batch of goods for nothing, and also receiving a large amount of liquidated damages and advance payment from the merchants. deposit.

"Qijuetang?"

Recently, the name of this Jianghu gang often appears in my ears, which is a bit too active.

Green Eyebrow lowered his hands in front of him. After listening to the story, he clapped his hands and jumped out.

"But even so, the money that should be paid must still be paid."

Green Eyebrow turned around and spoke slowly.

"I'll give you ten more days at most."

Cao Jiu was a little confused and asked.

"For such a big organization like Ye Mu, you owe me such a small amount of money?"

Green Eyebrow smiled, said lightly, and the figure quickly disappeared in front of Cao Jiu.

"You still have ten days."

"Oh shit!"

Cao Jiu cursed angrily, sat down, and pondered for a long time without any idea.

However, when he thought of the little widow he met today and her graceful figure, all the haze in Cao Jiu's heart was swept away.

Xinzheng.

The General's Mansion.

Snap, snap, snap

The sound of the abacus tapping rang in his ears. Ji Wuye was not even interested in drinking. He was patiently waiting for the Emerald Tiger sitting next to him to give him an answer.

The long time finally passed, and when the Emerald Tiger settled the accounts, a sad look appeared on his big, chubby face.

"General, there is a big gap in Ye Mu's funds. If it cannot be filled in time, I am afraid that the informants in the palace, the army, and the various court officials will suffer a huge loss in intelligence."

Whether it is intelligence or underground activities such as bribery or spying, a lot of money is needed.

"how so?"

"The main reason was the twenty strongholds of the Mo family, which caused us considerable losses. Especially the mine, after it was given to the Jade-Faced Flying Dragon, we suffered a lot. Coupled with the night expansion, the funds required increased sharply. If this continues, it will only weaken the power of some unimportant halls in the night."

"Can't!"

Bai Yifei stood aside and rejected the idea of ​​the Emerald Tiger.

"The power of the night is that if you don't advance, you will retreat. As far as the night is concerned, South Korea is still very big. If we weaken our power at this time, we will give others an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"What is Mr. Hou referring to?"

Jade Tiger looked confused, but Ji Wuye had already answered for him.

"Jade-faced flying dragon!"

"But after the Mo family ate up those twenty strongholds, there has been no movement. Is the leader of the Mo family unwilling to break up with Ye Mu?"

The Jade Tiger was worried. After all, the Jade Faced Flying Dragon had a reputation for being vicious, and none of the ruthless characters in Luo Wang were his opponents. If they really had to fight against each other, among the four vicious generals at night, he would be the least safe one.

"He's not moving, just because he hasn't encountered a good opportunity yet, it doesn't mean he will keep waiting. But the most important thing now is to make up for the funding gap first."

Bai Yifei's words put the Jade Tiger in a bit of a dilemma. On ordinary matters, he would not dare to contradict the Bloody Marquis, but when it came to money, he had a say.

"Master Marquis, the profit from my business has peaked now. If I want to expand other businesses, I will also need capital and time. If I want to make money, I am afraid that normal methods will not work."

Ji Wuye smiled when he saw the layers of flesh on the Jade Tiger's face.

"Tiger, where else are you interested in a business without capital?"

The Jade Tiger said quietly, but Ji Wuye heard Bai Yifei speak slowly.

"There are many businesses without capital, but only a few are valuable."

"Coinclothes Guest has found out that Dongyue will deliver a huge amount of goods to the Mohist leader every season. The escort will take the farmer's business route. However, due to the internal changes in Chu State, this batch of goods will be lost recently. Passing through Xu Di, Cao Jiu's defense area."

"That would be interesting!"

A smile appeared on Ji Wuye's face, he held the wine bottle and drank the wine slowly.
