If you change your outfit in five to ten years, it seems that you don't have to worry about the combat effectiveness of the army, at least until the old guys retire, and as for the future, let's talk about it later, who knows what it will be like in the future.
Having solved the matter at hand, the old guys let the forbidden army move out the remaining gunpowder weapons that had not been used up, and had a great time in the valley.
Li Muyun saw that he had nothing to do, so he simply said goodbye to Li Er and went to be busy with his own affairs.
On the other hand, Gao Minzhi returned to Goguryeo with a business group sent by his arrogant family with great fanfare, and this time the envoy brought back nearly 20 million yuan of investment to Goguryeo, and the credit was definitely great, and if he didn't want to, he could have some rewards.
Gao Jianwu had already received the information and knew that the opportunity was rare, so he specially hosted a banquet to entertain the representatives of the major families, and at the same time called the envoys of the five mattresses and Silla and Baekje to accompany him.
Being able to cooperate with the major families of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as a high climb for Goguryeo, and it is also a very enviable thing, and Gao Jianwu naturally wants to make good use of this opportunity to make a name for himself.
At the banquet, the people from the Tang Dynasty were very open, and under the deliberate flattery of the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers, it can be said that the guests and hosts were happy.
After the dismissal, Gao Jianwu left Pei Xingjian behind.
"Mr.
Pei, first of all, this king would like to thank the master for his kindness, if there is no guidance from the king of Xiaoyao, I am afraid that Goguryeo will not have today's grand event."
"Your Majesty has said it" Pei Xingjian couldn't figure out what Gao Jianwu meant, and dealt with it indiscriminately.
Gao Jianwu waved his hand, drove everyone out of the hall, and arched his hand: "Don't hide it from Mr.
Pei, Xiao Wang has something to ask for, and I hope that Mr. will fulfill it." ” "Your Majesty can't help it, so that no" Pei Xingjian's frightened hairs stood on end, and he hurriedly returned the salute.
Although almost everyone in the Tang Dynasty does not take Goguryeo in their eyes, Gao Jianwu is also the king of a country no matter how he says, as long as he is the king, it represents the imperial power, and Pei Xingjian does not dare to accept his gift even if he is a strong backer.
I don't want Gao Jianwu to play a scoundrel: "If Mr. doesn't agree, Xiao Wang won't get up." ” Pei Xingjian had no choice but to compromise: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say, you might as well listen to it, it's not good for me to make a decision like this." ” "This" Gao Jianwu hesitated, sighed, came directly to his waist, pulled Pei Xingjian and said: "Mr.
Pei, you have been in Goguryeo for a while, you must be able to see something." ” "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
"Mr.
Pei, the power of several mattresses is getting stronger and stronger, and sometimes my will can't even get out of this palace, Mr. must know."
Pei Xingjian really wanted to say that he didn't know, but what he said was a bit against his will, and after thinking about it, he could only nod his head to indicate that he knew.
"Therefore, Xiao Wang would like to ask Mr.
Pei to help and discuss with the big families in your country, and I hope that this cooperation project will try not to cooperate with those mattresses, so as not to increase their power again."
"This" Pei Xingjian smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, it's not that you don't help in this matter, it's really powerful." ” "Sir, don't be busy refusing first, please help give it a try, Xiao Wang is grateful."
With Gao Jianwu's identity, he can already speak in a low voice when it comes to this part, although Pei Xingjian doesn't want to get involved, but at the moment it is like being put on a fire, and it is impossible to refuse, so he has to bite the bullet and say: "In this way, Xiaosheng will go back and try, if it doesn't work, I hope Your Majesty won't be surprised." ” Gao Jianwu was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's okay, Mr. can do his best, if he can't succeed, it's also my life." ” Pei Xingjian said goodbye to Gao Jianwu and left, and returned to the post house with a lot of concern, but saw that there were already people waiting for him here.
"Old Pei, do you miss me" When the visitor saw Pei Xingjian, he greeted him warmly.
Pei Xingjian was stunned, and shouted in surprise: "Lao Pang, why are you here, why don't you notify me in advance?"
"Hehe, I came with the merchant group, and I can't notify if I want to."
Pang Wenlong punched Pei Xingjian's chest, and said haha: "How about it, it's been almost a year in Goguryeo, so let's get used to it."
"There's nothing you can't get used to."
Pei Xingjian pulled Pang Wenlong into the room with a haha, and immediately asked after sitting down: Tell me quickly, did the county king explain anything to you before you came. ” Pang Wenlong sighed: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you." ” "Hide it, if the king of the county has any orders, you should say it quickly."
"Okay, let me tell you, the king of the county means that we will try our best to help Gao Jianwu and meet all his requirements."
"Meet all his requirements" Pei Xingjian frowned: "What you said is true" Pang Wenlong looked unhappy: "Of course it's true, I can still lie to you about this kind of thing." ” "Then do you know what Gao Jianwu wants to do, do you know if you want to help him, us?"
"Isn't it the civil strife in Goguryeo, the king of the county already knows about the matter of the five mattresses, and it is precisely because of this that he will let me tell you that I will try to help Gao Jianwu as much as possible."
Pei Xingjian asked a little puzzled: "Why if we do our best to help him, won't we let his family dominate in the end?"
"The dominance of the family is a bit too much, and I was like you thought before I came, but the king of the county thinks that the Wubu mattress will never give up so easily, and the more we support Gao Jianwu, the more the other tribes will feel threatened.
Maybe for a while they will live in peace, but in the end there will definitely be a bigger commotion. ” "This, this is what the county king said" Pei Xingjian was a little unsure.
Pang Wenlong saw that Pei Xingjian didn't believe in himself, and said a little unhappily: "It's true that I told you, if you still don't believe it, just go back to Chang'an and ask." ” Pei Xingjian said silently: "No, it's not that I don't believe you, but I didn't expect that the county king would think so far-reaching." ” "The king of the county has always been like this, and you don't know it."
Pang Wenlong pursed his lips, looked around and asked, "You have been in Goguryeo for almost a year, should you always live here?"
Pei Xingjian shrugged: "Otherwise, I'm just a spokesperson, not the mastermind of the business group, where will I get the money to buy a house." ” Pang Wenlong was a little frustrated: "Okay, I thought I would be happy when I got here, but I didn't expect to suffer with you." ” Pei Xingjian glanced at Pang Wenlong with disdain: "You can pull it down, and enjoy the blessings, we have a task in Goguryeo, if you are happy, let's wait until we return to the Tang Dynasty." ” Pang Wenlong snorted nonchalantly, he didn't take Pei Xingjian's words to heart at all, and said about it: "By the way, didn't Gao Jianwu invite you to the banquet today, is there anything new, tell me." ”:
