This master is fake and cold

"Old man? What kind of old man?" Chang Le asked with a half-smile.

This question has obviously crossed the line. If we follow the previous way of getting along, Changle will definitely stop here and will not ask further questions.But today, she seems not ready to let her go easily.

Xi Shi said cautiously: "My subordinates came to the Daqing Dynasty before, and the journey was full of dust and dust. On the way, I met several caravans and got to know some businessmen. This time they heard that I came to the capital, so they invited me to go home for a visit. Gathering. Because of the sudden invitation, the subordinates didn’t come to report to you in time.”

"A businessman of what kind of business? Why don't you introduce me to him?" Chang Le looked at her casually leaning on his chin.

Xishi lowered her head, she could only see her smooth forehead and the curvature of her side face.It stands to reason that she has been traveling all year round, and her skin has been exposed to wind and sun, how can she still be so white and smooth?

Chang Le frowned involuntarily, or the words she said were all false, in fact, she was a subject of the Daqing Dynasty and had been living near Gyeonggi.Only then does it make sense.Since her identity is false, then Xi Shi is actually her second brother Su Yong's?The Four Seas Trading Company was also a gimmick created by her second brother?

Still take advantage.Exploitation and anti-exploitation, betrayal and counter-betrayal.Chang Le felt a little disappointed, Xi Shi suddenly looked up at her, and said calmly: "It's just some small business people, I'm afraid they can't help the master."

"You're so sure, you know what Gu wants them to do?"

Xishi's expression was still gentle and soft, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, showing a hint of provocation for a moment: "Didn't the master always want to know the identity of his subordinates?"

Chang Le was stunned, but she lowered her head again, and said respectfully: "Master wants to know what information, you can ask your subordinates directly. As long as it is not some particularly embarrassing questions, the master wants to know the answer, and your subordinates will know everything." Words, words are endless."

These words can be described as extremely bold, and there is a bit of mockery inside and outside the words.Chang Le was not angry, she just felt a little ridiculous.If things were really that simple, why would she go around and go around in such a big circle to test her.

At this moment, Xi Shi relaxed a little, it was also because of the results of her pressing step by step these days.

She wanted to provoke her, but Chang Le didn't want to do what she wanted. She kept her calmness to the greatest extent, and took the time to ask: "What is the relationship between Sihai Trading Company and my second brother Su Yong?"

King Su Yong?Xishi thought for a moment before he remembered who this person was.But when she thought of this person, combined with Chang Le's questioning at this time, she understood her thoughts in an instant.Chang Le regards them as the people of King Ding.

Whether to make mistakes and mislead Chang Le's thinking, or...

Xishi quickly went through all the possibilities in her mind, but then she figured it out, if she wanted to mislead Changle and admit that the Four Seas Trading Company is the power of King Ding, there is no doubt that there is no relationship between the Four Seas Trading Company and Changle. possibility of cooperation.And once she was "branded" by King Ding, it would be impossible for her to stay by Changle's side again.

But she has a reason to stay with Changle.Furthermore, the Four Seas Trading Company and Su Yong are neither enemies nor friends, and there is absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.Although their goals and Chang Le's are different, the expected results are the same.An enemy's enemy is a friend, and in this case, even if there were some small quarrels, they are all worthless in the face of big right and wrong.

One day in the future, it is also possible for the two of them to join forces and become allies.You can't let yourself be self-defeating... Besides, in their eyes, their identities are not a secret worth hiding from the beginning to the end.

Xishi's thoughts turned in his mind, and after thinking about all the stakes, he replied: "There is no relationship between Sihai Trading Company and King Ding. The origin of Sihai Trading Company is what this subordinate told you last time. What this subordinate said , there is absolutely no falsehood."

Chang Le straightened up slowly, her eyes suddenly became sharp, with a cold edge, as if it could penetrate directly into the bottom of Xi Shi's heart.Her expression was extremely serious, and she said word by word: "There is absolutely no lie?"

There was no hesitation in Xi Shi's tone, and he replied resolutely and forcefully: "There is absolutely no lie!"

What is meant by these words is clear to both parties.Xishi clearly told Changle that her and Sihai Trading Company's position implied that Sihai Trading Company would not be an enemy of Changle.This is really important to Changle!

Since they are not enemies, there is the possibility of cooperation.The power of the Four Seas Trading Company was just as she had seen, almost rooted in the entire Daqing Dynasty, and any county was covered by its power.If you can bring this force under your command, no, even if you just establish a cooperative relationship with it, it will definitely be a great help to yourself.

Chang Le didn't believe it immediately, but instead asked: "What happened to the previous assassination?"

Xishi hesitated for a moment, "The subordinate told you last time that it was the subordinates who misunderstood the master's meaning, speculated on the master's thoughts, and acted on their own initiative. It is still the same answer now. This matter is not the master's Intentionally, please forgive me."

"Really?" Chang Le tapped the table lightly with her fingers, her expression was indifferent, and she couldn't see whether she was happy or angry.Looking at her expression, Xishi couldn't guess whether she believed her words or not.

But Chang Le didn't ask any further, just said: "I just want to meet her, when can I?"

She didn't ask if it was okay, but directly asked when it was okay.Changle is a good master and considerate to his servants.But she is also a noble and proud royal person, there is no doubt that it is almost an instinct carved into her bones.

She can tolerate betrayal, but she can't tolerate disobedience.

The identities of the two parties are different, so it is not impolite for her to use such an orderly tone.Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are at the bottom of the class, while Changle, as a royal nobleman, is at the tip of the pyramid.One is in the sky and the other is in the ground, this is the consensus in everyone's mind.It is a great honor and honor for a high-ranking royal to meet a small businessman.Even if the Four Seas Commercial Firm is as rich as an enemy country, it started as a merchant after all, so it will inevitably be despised by others.

However, they never imagined that the environment in which the two parties live and all the ideas they accept are completely different.What Changle is accustomed to is not accepted by everyone.

Xi Shi paused for a longer time this time, and said in a low voice: "Master's whereabouts are uncertain, and she often patrols around the capital, so I may not be able to contact her at any time, I need some time—"

"How long?" Chang Le asked.

"Half a month." Xi Shi said.

Chang Le took a deep look at her: "Okay, Gu will give you half a month." She didn't mention that she met the master she was talking about last night, and she didn't want to guess what Xi Shi wanted to do during this half month.As long as her words are true, as long as she can handle things well, it doesn't matter what the process is.

"You pack up your things and move them into the side hall. From now on, you and Goya will be by Gu's side and serve you personally."

Xi Shi was a little surprised, and replied "yes" respectfully.

Chang Le waved his hand, Xi Shi understood, and retreated silently.As soon as she left, Su Er and Goya knelt down in front of her at the same time.

"Do you think what she said is credible?"

Su Erjian frowned, and said hesitantly: "This subordinate thinks it's half-truth and half-false. You have to believe it, but you can't believe it completely."

Goya pursed her lips tightly, she still had the utmost doubts about Xi Shi.But he was afraid that his attitude would affect his master's judgment, so he endured it and kept silent.

Changle looked at her, and said gently: "Geya, Gu has already said just now, and you will take Xishi with her in the future. She has a special status, so you have to pay more attention. Gu will ask Su Er to transfer some secret guards to follow her." Keeping you safe in the dark."

Before she could refuse, Chang Le's eyes fell on Su Er, and Su Er quickly responded respectfully.

"Is there any result of An Xu's identity investigation?"

Seeing his master talking about business, Goya swallowed the words helplessly.

Su Erdao: "This subordinate just wanted to report to you. The subordinates couldn't find any news about An Zhuangyuan, as if this person appeared out of thin air, so mysterious. The subordinate felt that something was wrong, so he searched last night. From time to time, he specifically asked Commander Suning. Commander Suning didn't directly tell his subordinates the answer, he said something very strange."

Su Er paused for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "This world belongs to the Su family. This thousand-mile country belongs to His Majesty's domain. This subordinate is stupid and doesn't understand what it means, so I ask the master to make a decision."

Chang Le rubbed the center of his brows wearily, "Su Ning is warning us not to stretch our hands too far. After all, no matter how close I am to my father, no matter how much I get his favor, my father is his master after all. This For a period of time, our actions were indeed a bit big, and the notice will continue to ask all our people to restrain their actions. Unless necessary, no one can wait to act without authorization."

Both Su Er and Ge Ya were shocked. They didn't expect the situation to be so severe, so they responded immediately. Su Er couldn't help but asked again: "Master, the champion of An...do you want to continue the investigation?"

"Don't you understand yet?" Chang Le smiled faintly, and said with some regret: "An Xu, he is the one my father has taken a fancy to."

Speaking of this level, how could Su Er not understand that as one of Changle's most important confidantes, if he is still in a daze, he should really be bumped to death.

They couldn't find out An Xu's identity, so someone could only cover it up for him.There are not many people who can do this, but her second and third brothers can do it.But who this person is, the words of Commander Suning have already hinted at it.I'm afraid he thought they were thinking about An Xu, but An Xu was the emperor's choice, so why would he switch sides?That's how the beating came about.

Chang Le continued: "Su Yi traveled around to take care of his subordinates' business, and Su Si was busy recruiting talents. Now you are the only one who can be used by Gu, which really makes you suffer. Su San has just returned to Gyeonggi, and Gu transferred him to you , if there is anything, I can entrust him to do it."

Su Er felt his eye sockets heat up suddenly, his throat was a little choked up, and he responded respectfully.
