The charming girl who was massaging Bo Pu's shoulders saw me and whispered something in Bo Pu's ear.
Bo Pu breathed a sigh of relief, shook his neck, and turned around.
He is in his forties, well-maintained, with thick black hair, and no wrinkles on his fair face.
The three strands of black beard made him look very elegant, and he looked like a handsome man at first glance.
However, his eyes were full of fatigue, which was obviously due to excessive drinking.
I said respectfully: "Hello, Master Dazai.
I, the little man Lu Yuan, came from Chu State to visit you."
Bo Pu hummed softly and said, "I heard that your grandfather was once my family's groom."
I smiled and said, "Do you remember, Dazai-sama?"
"I remember that after so many years [Wudi Lao Liu sorted it out with his hands] my impression was somewhat blurry."
What Bo Pu said was just polite.
With his status, how could he remember a groom who lived in his house in the past?
What's more, he was still young when he fled Chu State in distress, and his words of vague memory are not false.
I sighed: "After the disaster in my uncle's house, my grandfather passed away soon.
He always cared about the good of the old master.
Later, I heard that you escaped the disaster and came to Wu State, and specifically told me that if you can come to Wu one day, Wu Guo must come to see Master Dazai.”
Bo Pu couldn't help but show a bit of emotion, nodded and said: "It's hard for someone to still remember me."
He pointed to the opposite side, motioned for me to sit down, and asked the two girls to get up and make tea.
I respectfully placed the gift I brought in front of him.
Bo Pu unfolded the gift box and his eyes could not help but shine.
Inside the gift was a pair of jade stones that I had specially selected, which were trophies obtained during the capture of Wangyue City.
According to Ying Lian, this pair of jade bis are rare treasures.
She was born in a prince's family, and since she is used to seeing treasures, it must be good to say so, so I chose them as a gift for Bo Pu.
Bo Po stroked the jade bis for a long time, his eyes showing an expression of great joy, and after a long time he said: "If I read it correctly, this pair of jade bis should not be from the original, but should be the work of Rongdi craftsmen in the northwest.
Carving The workmanship is top-notch, and the quality of the jade is even more top-notch.
How can I accept such a precious gift?"
Although he said polite words, his hand was not willing to leave the jade bi at all.
He probably would not refuse it no matter what.
I smiled and said, "Compared to the kindness that Dazai's ancestors showed to my grandfather, this small gift is nothing.
If Dazai doesn't accept it, my grandfather Izumoshita Yutomo will definitely blame me."
Bo Po pretended to be touched: "In this case, I can only be disrespectful."
After accepting my great gift, Bo Pu was very affectionate to me, and asked his men to prepare wine and food while I stayed at his house to dine.
Bo Chu drinks a lot and drinks boldly.
He frequently raises his glasses during the dinner.
With my drinking capacity, I am definitely no match for him.
I felt dizzy after drinking a few drinks.
Bo Pu saw that my drinking capacity was mediocre, so he didn't force me much.
He smiled and said, "Master Lu came to Wu State this time to do some business."
I whispered: "I don't dare to lie in front of Dazai.
As long as it is a profitable business, I will do it."
Bo Pu was startled for a moment, then burst out laughing: "Well said, well said."
I said again: "Silk in the north has been booming recently, and I would like to buy a batch of silk from Wu."
I just said this casually, but I didn't expect Bo Chuwei to be interested.
He whispered: "The silk of Wu State is not cheap now."
He picked up the wine glass and took a sip himself, and then said: "What's more, the king recently ordered that all silk must be turned over to the national treasury and sold by the state.

Privately buying and selling silk is equivalent to Violate national law."
I didn’t know that Wu State had such strict management on the sale of silk, so I said with a frightened look: “If Master Dazai hadn’t reminded me, I almost did something wrong.”
Bo Chu smiled mysteriously and said: "What is right and what is wrong?
In fact, this matter was caused by the Yue State.
Although the Wu State is the birthplace of silk, there has been a shortage of mulberry leaves in the past two years, and the quantity of silk produced has dropped sharply.
However, the Yue State has The output increased sharply and the price became much cheaper.
Businessmen from various countries went to Yue to purchase goods.
Naturally, the king did not want to see this situation.
He ordered Gou Jian to standardize the price of silk, and half of the silk produced by Yue must be handed over to Wu.
Deployed by the State of Wu."
I thought to myself: "Fu Chai really bullied Gou Jian.
No wonder Gou Jian hates him so much."
Bo Pu added: "This matter has been handed over to me.
It will be announced to the country in the next two days."
I was extremely surprised and said: "Please do it, Dazai-sama" Bo Po smiled and said: "You and I have a history, and I think you are also a frank gentleman.
If I don't take care of you, will I take care of others?
I dare to say one thing, not only can you buy and sell silk openly, Also get the cheapest price.”
This is an unexpected gain for me.
Bo Chu must have wanted to use me to dispose of the stolen goods he obtained through bribery.
Human greed is really endless.
Bo Po said: "The State of Yue [Invincible Old Liu arranged with his hands] paid tribute to a hundred beauties.
They will arrive in Gusu in the next two days.
Along with these beauties, there will be fifty cartloads of silk.
I will help You pay attention.”
I said insinuatingly: "It seems that King Goujian of Yue respects Wu very much."
Bo Po laughed and said: "A monarch who has almost lost his country has no dignity left to talk about."
He seemed to realize that he had spoken too much and stopped talking: "Where does Mr.
Lu live now?"
I replied calmly: "We rented a house in Tanchun Lane, Yin Mansion, very close to Dazai-sama.
Dazai Bopu smiled and said: "Okay, with such a vision at such a young age, Mr.
Lu's future will definitely be limitless in the future."
"I hope you will give me more support, sir."
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say" One hundred beauties paid tribute by the Yue Kingdom arrived in Gusu City three days later.
When the escort team entered the city, all the people in Gusu City rushed to the streets to get a glimpse of the beauty of the Yue girls.
Yingluo and I were also mixed in the crowd.
Looking towards the middle of the street, we saw that marching at the front of the team was a group of fifty Wu guards.
They were wearing bronze armor and riding on clear maroon horses. , majestic, their bronze armors reflected deeply under the sunlight, their eyes were full of arrogance and pride, they were responsible for leading the way at the front.
Walking behind them were twenty Yue guards.
I found two familiar faces.
One was Fan Li, whom I had not seen for a long time, and the other turned out to be my brother-in-law Taifu Qu Mu.
Both of them were Yue soldiers.
An important figure in the country could actually come together this time, which shows that King Gou Jian of Yue attaches great importance to this trip.
I put on the human skin mask so I didn't have to worry about them finding out my identity.
I looked directly at Fan Li, but I saw that Fan Li had a calm expression and his eyes were calm and composed.
If the affair between him and Xi Shi recorded in history is true, just his rational ability to control his emotions would make me ashamed.

Qu Mu smiled and talked about something with Fan Li.
When he talked about something happy, he burst into laughter.
Behind them were nearly thirty four-carriage carriages with rich decorations.
Each carriage had drooping curtains, which greatly disappointed the people who came specially to see the beauty of Yue country.
The carriage drove slowly through the middle of the street.
When it passed in front of me, the curtain of one of the carriages was quietly lifted.
A young girl looked out curiously and happened to meet my eyes.
When I saw her face clearly At that moment, my heart couldn't help but trembled, and my whole person was stunned as if struck by a thunderbolt.
I never expected that the girl in the car would actually move her light, and I couldn't help but feel confused inside.
Didn't this ambitious little girl already fall in love with the Yue Crown Prince Yu Yi?
Why did she end up being sent to the Wu Kingdom?
Yiguang obviously didn't recognize me.
A pair of beautiful eyes swept across my face coldly, and then he quickly lowered the car curtain.
After the motorcade passed by, the crowd gradually dispersed.
The people of Gusu City could hear their sighs everywhere because they did not see the true appearance of the Yue beauty.
Yingluo and I returned to the mansion from the path.
Yingluo noticed that I was in a bad mood and didn't dare to disturb me all the way.
As soon as he walked into the gate of the mansion, he saw Kao Lie coming up to him.
He whispered: "Young Master, Dazai Bo Puwei just sent someone over and asked you to come over tonight.
He has something important to discuss with you."
I nodded listlessly and said, "I know, go and help me prepare."
At this time, two brothers, Feng Tu and Feng Ni, also came in from outside.
They were sent by me to inquire about what happened in Gusu City in the past few days.
After saluting me, Feng Ni said: "I heard that King Wu Fu Chai will summon the beauties of Yue Kingdom in Shicheng tomorrow night."
Feng Tu said: "In the past two days, Gusu City has been full of patrolling Wu soldiers.
They will interrogate anyone who seems suspicious at all.
The two of us were interrogated five times along the way.
Not as many times.”
I said calmly: "It seems that Wu State does not trust the Yue people."
Feng Tu nodded and said, "By the way, I heard that the fugitive who tried to rob Yue's beautiful woman a few days ago has been arrested."
I frowned.
If the news about Feng Tu was true, Bai Jie should have been caught.
I don't have much sympathy for this simple-minded guy who causes trouble everywhere.
It would be better to catch him to prevent him from suddenly running out and ruining my plan
