The war was probably winged, merely one night of separation, did not have any soldier to return to north bank of Xiaoyao Lake, the news of Golden Roc army disastrous defeat passed to the Hui Kingdom capital city, the word is reliable, cannot help but the person does not believe that the entire city falls into end the world confusion immediately. 战争好像长了翅膀,仅仅一夜之隔,还没有任何一名士兵逃回逍遥海北岸,金鹏军惨败的消息已经传到惠国都城,言之者凿凿,不由得人不信,整座城市立刻陷入末世般的混乱。 This is an unusual city, has been filled with various countries' royal family member and background complex speculator, most people put the huge gambling stake on the Golden Roc army, this thinks that gains steadily does not compensate, to loss has not made any preparation. 这是一座奇特的城市,挤满了各国王室成员与来路复杂的投机者,绝大部分人都在金鹏军身上押下巨大赌注,本以为稳赚不赔,对血本无归未做任何准备。 The day just dawn, a carriage sped away across the city gate, the groom clothes not entire, has probably not gotten out of bed to be entrained to fill on the seat, the city gate guard is in consternation puzzled, some quick people recognize, „isn't that secure king the carriage? Dragon King had been defeated, he is returning to homeland seizing the throne anxiously again?” 天刚蒙蒙亮,一辆马车疾驰穿过城门,马夫衣裳不整,好像还没起床就被拽起来塞到座位上,城门卫兵愕然不解,很快就有人认出来,“那不是安王的马车吗？难道龙王已经被打败,他急着回国重夺王位？” Fact and this just right opposite. 事实与此正好相反。 Upsurge that old secure king Xianqi becomes a fugitive, noontime has not arrived, the city gate has been fully occupied, the carriage collides, will drop out a place gold, silver, and jewelry frequently. 老安王掀起逃亡的热潮,午时未到,城门已经人满为患,马车碰撞,经常会掉出一地金银珠宝。 These can be lucky the person who the wealth pack takes away, more speculators discovered oneself are unable to back down, few domestic animals had been robbed, the massive cargos were stranded in the city, the rejection loses in light of this is too big, stays here is actually crisis-ridden. 那些能将财富打包带走的人还算幸运的,更多的投机者发现自己骑虎难下,本就为数不多的牲畜已被抢夺一空,大量的货物被困在城里,就此舍弃损失太大,留在这里却是危机四伏。 The war is a business, the big merchant of special supply commodity was needless saying that to the small traders and peddlers was also the rare becoming wealthy good opportunity, these risked one's life the soldier who earned the pay, specially is always natural around the fight, squanders money, the merchant and prostitute who attracted the Western Region each region sharp nose. 战争是一桩生意,专门供应物资的大商人不用说,对小商小贩也是不可多得的生财良机,那些出生入死赚取饷银的士兵,在战斗前后总是特别大方,挥金如土,吸引西域各地嗅觉灵敏的商人与妓女。 In people heart frightened, each other inflates, „Dragon Army also needs the good wine and woman, we are not Meng, special service Golden Roc army, so long as is the guest, all fairly treats, Dragon King is not worthwhile under the cruel methods to us.” 众人心中惴惴,彼此打气,“龙军也需要美酒和女人,咱们又不是孟氏,专门服务金鹏军,只要是客人,一律公平对待,龙王犯不着对咱们下狠手。” Is the Jade City Meng, responded that even is quicker than old secure king, several days ago, moves away a large quantities of cargo suddenly, it is said in is the packed in a box gold and silver, Golden Roc Castle issues the soldier's rations and pay of soldier, changes hands and enters money case of Meng. 偏偏是璧玉城孟氏,反应甚至比老安王还要快,早在几天前,突然运走一大批货物,据说里面全是成箱的金银,金鹏堡发给士兵的军饷,倒手又进入孟氏的钱匣。 At that time also some people laughed at the Meng Family two young masters clearly to move unnecessarily, like the big business main style, does not understand that now others can become the Western Region first great merchant do not have unearned reputation, the preparation is full. 当时还有人嗤笑孟家二公子明恕多此一举,不像大商主的气派,现在才明白人家能成为西域第一巨商绝非浪得虚名,准备就是充分。 Quick, more rumors flow out, some people claimed that Meng can avoid loss, what depends is not the doing business talent, but is the two sides chipping in illicit intercourse enemy, „heard? The Meng two young masters meet with the Dragon King secret personally, before making war, know the result, therefore sharply is moving away large quantities of money.” 很快,更多的传言流出,有人声称孟氏能避免血本无归,靠的并非经商天分,而是两边下注私通敌军,“听说了吗？孟二公子亲自跟龙王秘密会面,开战之前就知道结果,所以才急着运走大批金钱。” „Really? But...... Why Dragon King lets go such a wealthy person, keeps in the hand not to be good?” “真的？可是……龙王干嘛放走这么一位财主啊,留在手里不好吗？” „This...... This...... both sides definitely have the agreement, does Dragon Army win? Perhaps and has the Meng Family merit.” “这个……这个……双方肯定有约定呗,龙军怎么打赢的？其中没准就有孟家的功劳。” Meng Mingshu also in thinking similar issue, he has not run away, is distributing the manpower in the royal palace back garden, goes to various companies and money shop, the preparation carries off the last batch of cargos, others cannot buy the pack animal richly, Meng use endless, light these several hundred mules, if sells out now, the price increases at least over ten times, the money of what a pity, not being able to carry off does not have the significance. 孟明恕也在想着同样的问题,他没有逃走,正在王宫后花园里分派人手,前往各处商号与钱庄,准备带走最后一批货物,别人有钱也买不到驮畜,孟氏则用之不尽,光这数百匹骡马,如果现在卖掉的话,价增至少十倍以上,可惜,带不走的钱是没有意义的。 Dragon King sends Shangguan Fei to come to give regards secretly, Meng Mingshu pondered over long time, still missed the point, but he felt the self-confidence of Dragon King, therefore settled accounts with the customer ahead of time, and cut the price to accelerate to produce goods, finally caught up in the decisive battle explodes couple of days ago, took back earns the fund majority, entrusted transports to Jade City to one team of Golden Roc Castle sword wielders. 龙王派上官飞偷偷过来问好,孟明恕对此思忖多日,仍不得要领,但他从中感受到龙王的自信,所以提前与主顾结算,并且降低价格加速出货,终于赶在决战暴发前两天,收回大部分应得款项,委托给一队金鹏堡刀手运往璧玉城。 Although compared with poor of estimate, Meng still earned a lot of money through this war. 虽然比预计的差一点,孟氏通过这场战争仍然赚得不少钱。 What Meng Mingshu is puzzling, why Dragon King delivers itself a such big favor. 孟明恕百思不得其解的是,龙王干嘛送自己这么大的一个人情。 Right, they had the cooperation in Jade City, he intoxicates to kill oneself Fifth Brother for Dragon King, Dragon King assassinates the Meng Family big young master, is Meng Mingshu inherits the family property to pave the way, hereafter also has altogether the construction developer idea, because the defeat of Dragon King runs away, but has not carried out. 没错,他们在璧玉城曾经有过合作,他替龙王下毒杀死自己的五弟,龙王暗杀孟家大公子,为孟明恕继承家业铺平道路,此后还有过共建商的想法,因为龙王的败逃而没有落实。 Indicates to look, both sides do not have a deficit mutually. 表明上看,双方互不亏欠。 Meng Mingshu does not think clearly, evening time returns to the bedroom, hopes that another person can clear off the mentality for him. 孟明恕想不明白,傍晚的时候回到卧室,希望另一个人能替他理清思路。 If some people know that Jade City first prostitute Xiao Fengchai arrives at Xiaoyao Lake, Hui city will create a stir, she, unfortunately, was catching up with the Golden Roc army disastrous defeat last night. 如果有人知道璧玉城第一名妓萧凤钗来到逍遥海,惠城会为之轰动一时,她昨晚才到,非常不巧,正赶上金鹏军惨败。 Meng Mingshu told all her matters, his relations with this woman is increasingly close, already, not only the sweetheart is so simple, she is more like his partner and staff officer, supplies ideas, becomes Meng two young master indispensable right-hand. 孟明恕将一切事情都告诉了她,他与这个女人的关系日益紧密,已经不只是情人那么简单,她更像是他的伙伴与参谋,出谋划策,成为孟二公子不可或缺的左膀右臂。 Especially she is a beautiful unparalleled woman. 尤其她还是一名美艳无双的女人。 Meng Mingshu does not know her real age, but this is unimportant, he passed clings to the age of love affair, instead appreciates the Xiao Fengchai graceful bearing, thought that compared with entire keeps the prostitute of person of lane to put together has the flavor. 就连孟明恕也不知道她的真实年纪,但这不重要,他已经度过贪恋风月的年纪,反而更加欣赏萧凤钗的风韵,觉得比整个留人巷的妓女加在一起都有味道。 desolate Fengchai is reading an trigram letter, the letter, only then one page, she actually probably looked at long time. 萧风钗正在看一卦信,信只有一页,她却好像看了很长时间。 „Whose letter?” Meng Mingshu spoke thoughtlessly to ask, was light elderly married couples to be the same. “谁的信？”孟明恕随口问道,平淡得老夫老妻一样。 „Dragon King.” Xiao Fengchai replied is also simple, these attracted the method of man all not to use-- perhaps this was the method of high level. “龙王。”萧凤钗回答得也很简单,那些魅惑男人的方法全都不用——或许这是更高级的手段。 Meng Mingshu takes up the sweat towel, dumbfounded all of a sudden. 孟明恕拿起汗巾,一下子呆住了。 Xiao Fengchai is an intelligent woman, is she, just got out to point out that Meng Mingshu makes the next significant errors. 萧凤钗是个聪明的女人,正是她,刚一下车就指出孟明恕犯下一个重大错误。 „Second Brother should not sharply move away money.” That was yesterday evening, the decisive battle result has not passed to Hui city, „Dragon King won by some chance , the trouble of Second Brother may be big, masonry too many people around, Shangguan Fei saw Second Brother, could not conceal the truth.” “二哥不该急着运走财货。”那还是昨天晚上,决战结果尚未传到惠城,“万一龙王真的获胜,二哥的麻烦可就大了,石堡耳目众多,上官飞来见二哥,是瞒不住的。” Meng Mingshu regretted oneself are greedy for a while, the thing that however sends off cannot transport again, can only look for the excuse explanation in addition. 孟明恕后悔自己一时贪心,但是送走的东西不能再运回来,只能另找借口解释。 As for the real motive that Dragon King shows good will, Xiao Fengchai was also at that time perplexed, until she receives this letter. 至于龙王示好的真实目的,萧凤钗当时也不明所以,直到她接到这封信。 Strict, this letter has nothing to do with Dragon King, is one has the commercial relation merchant to send with Meng, the designation must give Meng two young masters, Meng Mingshu was being tied up at that time, the servant knows that who can take responsibility for him, therefore gives Xiao Fengchai the letter. 严格来说,这封信与龙王无关,是一名与孟氏有生意往来的商人送来的,指名要交给孟二公子,孟明恕当时正忙得不可开交,仆人知道谁能替他做主,所以将信交给萧凤钗。 In the letter reminded the Meng two young masters to remember that „15 approximately”, mentioned while convenient Hui Kingdom stretched across Xiaoyao Lake the business of bridge to both sides importantly. 信中提醒孟二公子记得“15之约”,顺便提到惠国横跨逍遥海的大桥对双方的生意有多重要。 Meng Mingshu understands that „15 approximately” meaning, clearly refers to him and Dragon King cooperates, assassinates the Meng big young master with five sons' matters, this matter he has hidden at heart, runs away until the Dragon King defeat, told Xiao Fengchai. 孟明恕明白“15之约”含义,分明是指他与龙王合作,暗杀孟氏大公子与五公子的事情,这件事他一直隐藏在心里,直到龙王败逃,才告诉萧凤钗。 Therefore Xiao Fengchai also understands that this word meaning, from this knows that this is Dragon King the letter that asks somebody to send. 所以萧凤钗也明白这个词的意思,由此知道这是龙王托人送来的信。 „Is person of delivering a letter reliable?” Meng Mingshu is a little anxious, was worried that this is the trap that Golden Roc Castle sets. “送信的人可靠吗？”孟明恕有点紧张,担心这是金鹏堡设的圈套。 „I let person of investigates passed/lived, should not have the issue, ‚15 approximately’ will not have the bystander to know again, the bridge that in the letter mentioned actually, Dragon King regarded as important it probably very much.” “我让人查过了,应该没有问题,‘15之约’也不会再有外人知晓,倒是信中提到的这座桥,龙王好像很看重它。” Xiao Fengchai had not known about war anything after all, understands very little to the important meaning of bridge, Meng Mingshu is actually suddenly enlighted, „original this is the matter that Dragon King wants me to handle, he wants to preserve the bridge.” 萧凤钗毕竟对战争没什么了解,对大桥的重要意义知之甚少,孟明恕却恍然大悟,“原来这就是龙王要我做的事情,他想保住大桥。” „I also think that Dragon Army has wanted to destroy the bridge.” “我还以为龙军一直想毁桥呢。” „Past was this, but the victory and defeat inverts now, what wants to destroy the bridge was the Golden Roc army, guaranteed the bridge was actually Dragon King.” “从前是这样,可是现在胜负颠倒,想毁桥的是金鹏军,保桥的却是龙王了。” The unobstructed path always favors victor, to defeat, the path he ruins is good. 通畅的道路总是倾向于胜利者,对战败者来说,身后的道路他都毁掉才好。 Knew Dragon King real intention, Meng Mingshu is not relaxed, he does not think that now and Golden Roc Castle breaks off, annoys the fatal disaster. 知道了龙王的真正意图,孟明恕一点也不轻松,他不想现在与金鹏堡决裂,惹上杀身之祸。 Xiao Fengchai has understood the Meng Mingshu concern, „Dragon King is making you make the choice, he has shown good will, should be one's turn you to take a stand.” 萧凤钗看懂了孟明恕的心事,“龙王在让你做出选择,他已经示好,该轮到你表态了。” Meng Mingshu lowers the head to hesitate long time, raised the head has not made up mind, „what to do should I?” 孟明恕低头沉吟良久,抬起头来还是没拿定主意,“我该怎么办？” „The best means are to preserve the bridge, does not let know that is your method, at this time, Hui Chengli does want to flatter the Dragon King person to be many?” “最好的办法是保住大桥,又不让知道是你的手段,这个时候,惠城里想讨好龙王的人应该不少吧？” Meng Mingshu thinks of the ready-made idea suddenly. 孟明恕猛然想到现成的主意。 Similarly in the royal palace, to the Meng Mingshu not far room, another gang is also planning to snatch before the Golden Roc army ruins the bridge. 同样也在王宫里,离孟明恕不远的房间里,另一伙人正策划抢在金鹏军之前毁掉大桥。 „Makes them hit in the south bank life and death mutually wounded, the revival of revival and Xiaoyao Lake of Kang Kingdom, depends on this bridge.” Kang Kingdom Prime Minister is excited the double cheek to blush. “让他们在南岸打个你死我活两败俱伤,康国的复兴、逍遥海的复兴,都取决于这座大桥。”康国丞相兴奋得双颊发红。 He has reversed to newly Kang king Shang Liao completely, jointly makes a plan of removing firewood from under the pot: Before Golden Roc army defeated and dispersed soldiers arrive ruins the bridge, simultaneously sends out the ships in the sea patrol, preventing all troops to cross the sea, then the rapid military recruit, blocks the Xiaoyao Lake two sides difference channels, regains the independence. 他已经完全倒向新康王尚辽,共同制定出一个釜底抽薪的计划:在金鹏军败兵到来之前就毁掉大桥,同时派出舰船在海上巡逻,阻止一切人马渡海,然后迅速招募士兵,堵住逍遥海两边的出入通道,重新恢复独立。 „Is Hui Kingdom that side person what kind of?” Shang Liao is calmer, before planning to be successful, does not need too happily, the humans affair difficult material, the plan also momentarily to change. “惠国那边的人怎么样？”尚辽就镇定多了,在计划成功之前,没必要太高兴,世事难料,计划也得随时变动。 „Hui king has frightened soon was insane, wants to wait for the Golden Roc army to arrive, flees to Jade City with them together, under flustered, several main military officers are willing to follow your majesty, I have probed, they are even willing to support you to work as ‚free king’.” “惠王已经吓得快要疯了,就想等金鹏军一到,跟他们一块逃往璧玉城,底下人心惶惶,几名主要将领都愿意追随陛下,我试探过,他们甚至愿意支持您当‘逍遥王’。” Shang Liao gently snort/hum one, „free and unfettered king” is the positive result that Prime Minister wants to come out, did not have one to cast aside caret-shaped, he started in making „free and unfettered country Prime Minister” fond dream. 尚辽轻轻地哼了一声,“逍遥王”是丞相想出来的名堂,八字还没一撇,他已经开始在做“逍遥国丞相”的美梦了。 „Tonight four begin, again late without enough time, but I felt that is not quite safe.” Shang Liao hides in the royal palace had long time, almost does not have door one step, he said „is unsafe” implies another thing. “今晚四更动手,再晚就来不及了,可我还是感到不太安全。”尚辽躲在王宫里已有多日,几乎没出房门一步,他的说的“不安全”另有所指。 „Your majesty felt relieved freely, destroys bridge time, I assure your majesty ‚security’.” “陛下尽管放心,毁桥的时候,我保证陛下的‘安全’。” „I must see the evidence.” “我要看到证据。” „Yes, quick, has a double-hour at most again.” “是,很快,顶多再有一个时辰。” The evidence that Shang Liao wants is the head/number of people of old Kang king, he does not hope after all succeed, oneself change the ordinary royal family juniors, even possible because of merit tall Gaizhu but annoying a trouble. 尚辽想要的证据是老康王的人头,他可不希望一切都成功之后,自己又变回普通的王室子弟,甚至可能因为功高盖主而惹上一身麻烦。 Prime Minister draws back respectfully, starts to prepare „evidence”, he not only need newly your majesty intelligence and ability, but also needs the Xiaoyao Lake only sailors, this is entire plans one of the successful essential strengths. 丞相恭敬地退下,开始准备“证据”,他不仅需新陛下的聪明才智,还需要逍遥海唯一的水军,这是整个计划成功的关键力量之一。 Prime Minister just asked to be excused, Shang Liao puts out that confidential report, inside said that Dragon King sends out thousand people of army, is crossing Xiaoyao Lake, the approach shoring place is very possible is Kang Kingdom. 丞相刚一告退,尚辽又拿出那封密报,里面说龙王派出一支千人军,正在横渡逍遥海,靠岸地点很可能是康国。 Dragon King is not good to cope, the movement must be quicker than the Shang Liao imagination, is the point of no return, has to send, thinks that achievement king Ye, must take the huge risk, Shang Liao to decide to gambl one time. 龙王不好对付,动作比尚辽想象得要快,可是箭在弦上,不得不发,想成就王业,就得冒巨大的风险,尚辽决定豪赌一次。 Is the life alive, how many people there are able to bump into such opportunity? 人生在世,有几个人能碰到这样的机会呢？ Destroys the person of bridge and insurance bridge, night bustles about in same. 毁桥与保桥的人,在同一个夜晚忙碌起来。 ( Sought collection to seek recommendation) （求收藏求推荐）
