The prince is very cruel

Guan Ning immediately added: "Don't worry, General He, I won't play tricks, and I can't play tricks."

"General He really wants to talk about something, and it won't be finished in a short time."

"I'm right here, not going anywhere."

Helanshan looked at Guan Ning deeply. He seemed to know what he wanted to talk about. Well, they were both smart people.

He was still confident, after all, this was his territory.

"it is good!"

"Then the little brother Yining."

As he said this, he gave a look, signaling his men to release the man.

Seeing this, Guan Ning breathed a sigh of relief, the first step was completed.

He was worried that the situation would take its worst and these thirty-odd guys would not be able to leave. After all, it would be difficult to leave efficiently with them.

At this time, Helanshan was not in a hurry. He clapped his hands first, and then the sound of footsteps was heard. It was obvious that it was a girl's, otherwise the footsteps would not be so light.

At one moment, eighteen young girls in their prime came in. Some of them held a pipa, some held a guzheng, and some wore red robes with water sleeves. Any one of them could be a famous prostitute.

"Haha, Master Ning, these are the courtesans I rescued from the various flower boats after I invaded Qinghe County. They are proficient in poetry, singing, dancing, and playing the zither."

"Today is a good day. Why don't we enjoy it together?" He raised a glass of wine.

Guan Ning was full of contempt in his heart. He rescued her and it was obvious that he was taking her for himself.

"Hahaha, General He is indeed a man of temperament. In that case, I will respectfully obey your orders!"

"play music!"

"Hahaha, play music." Helan Shan laughed heartily, and then drank it all in one gulp.

At this moment, he was even more convinced that Guan Ning was intentionally leaning towards the Xiliang army, and he was confident that he could subdue Guan Ning.

Suddenly, wonderful music sounded and graceful dancing appeared, as if it was the gods descending from heaven.

Not to mention the dancing styles of these courtesans, their slender, youthful figures alone are enough to dazzle one's eyes.

"Good, good dance!"

"really not bad!"

"Come, Mr. Ning, let me toast you!"

"Mr. Ning, I'll toast you too."

These figures from the Qinghe County military began to toast Guan Ning, seemingly intending to build a good relationship with him and also wanting to get him drunk.

Guan Ning dealt with them one by one. This amount of alcohol was not a problem for him. As long as he didn't want to get drunk, few people could make him drunk.

Helanshan seemed to be planning to avoid confusion and did not mention the so-called "long-term plan" at all. Instead, he focused on eating, drinking and having fun. Guan Ning naturally preferred this.

After a while, the courtesans, following eye signals, began to toast Guan Ning one after another, and intentionally or unintentionally rubbed Guan Ning, seeming to be both welcoming and shy.

If a young man who had rarely seen a woman was here, he would probably be defeated by this gentle land on the spot, and then be corrupted by the Helan Mountain gang and become a puppet.

But Guan Ning is not an ordinary person. Any woman he picks can beat these prostitutes, not to mention that he has super strong willpower.

Therefore, he was clear about this kind of surrender, but he pretended to be infatuated and half asleep on the surface.

Gradually, the banquet changed from its initial solemnity to a feeling of feasting and drinking, with endless wonderful music, graceful dancing, and the laughter of men.

"..."

Time passed minute by minute, and several hours passed until it was almost dark.

Guan Ning pretended to be drunk. At this time, Helanshan and several staff members looked at each other and then withdrew the prostitutes.

For a moment, the wonderful music stopped.

Guan Ning was stunned for a moment, pretending to be confused: "Hey, why are you gone!"

“Come back, come back!”

Helan Shan smiled and said, "Master Ning, there's no need to worry."

"I will ask all the courtesans to go to a private place and wait for Master Ning."

"How about we talk about business now?" He deliberately kept people on edge and spoke in a vague way.

Guan Ning burped and glanced at the sky outside. He guessed that the guys from the Huangye Chamber of Commerce had been taken away and far away from here. The next thing was how he should get away and make sure that Qinghe County would not attack Shu in the short term.

"That's...ok."

"General He, please speak."

"As long as it's reasonable, I'm willing to agree to General He's conditions."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of many staff members on the opposite side, including generals such as Wu Zhu, all lit up!

They were ordered to guard the southwest area and were unable to seize merit and spoils in Tongguan. If they could win over Shu, they would be rewarded handsomely by the commander-in-chief!

Helanshan showed a look of satisfaction and gave a look. The idlers left one after another and the lobby instantly became much quieter.

"Master Ning."

"You are a smart person, so you can probably guess what He is thinking."

"Now that our country is divided and war is raging everywhere, heroes from all walks of life are searching for a way out, a reliable path to follow."

"Although Shu is relatively isolated, I believe it is certainly not immune to the epidemic."

Guan Ning nodded seriously, a little drunkenly, and said, "General He is absolutely right!"

Helan Shan probed again, "Hasn't Shu ever considered choosing another wise leader?"

"From what I know, the old emperor is tyrannical, mean, and selfish. He has always been indifferent to Shu. He never provided relief during years of severe drought and disaster. He even resorted to despicable tactics time and again to suppress and control Shu."

"Such a court, such a king, how can they be worthy of you and me following?"

Guan Ning really didn't want to hear him beat around the bush anymore, so he took the initiative to point out: "General He, do you mean to let Shu follow the Xiliang army?"

Helanshan looked around and said with a smile: "Exactly!"

Guan Ning frowned when he heard this.

Suddenly, the expressions of the He side personnel froze for a moment.

Then, Guan Ning smiled bitterly: "General He, but, but... you also know that our Shu land is very poor. I am afraid we can't provide anything for the Xiliang army. We even need the Xiliang army to provide relief."

"This, this is so embarrassing." He pretended to be embarrassed.

He Lanshan thought he was going to refuse, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Ning, you are too polite. I have already said that our Xiliang army is united and values ​​friendship and loyalty. As long as they are one of us, everything is easy to negotiate."

"We can provide assistance to whatever the Bashan and Shu regions need."

"Just think about it, the Xiliang army is now unstoppable. When the Marshal takes the capital and rebuilds the country, will we, the heroes who have followed him, still be short of money and official positions?"

My goodness, this pie was already drawn after he ascended the throne and became emperor. Guan Ning was contemptuous in his heart. Not to mention that he disdained the style of the Xiliang rebels, just looking at the laws of history, the final end of the Xiliang rebel Ashina Yuanlie would not be good.

"Yes Yes Yes."

"Of course I believe what General He says. After all, throughout history, when the master is virtuous, everyone around him will prosper."

Helanshan nodded, and then his eyes suddenly became fixed.

"Mr. Ning, look, do you have any ideas?"

"You know, it's still not too late to get on board now. If we wait until the Marshal enters the capital, it will be difficult to place a bet."

"You and I both know that Shu used to obey the old emperor. If there's a reckoning in the future..."
