Wu Haogu suffered some setbacks in his business in Xuzhou. Wu Zhi, the Wu Yuanwai, who asked him to Pengcheng, turned out to be a liar. Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing went to Linsi Street, Pengcheng according to the address given by Wu Zhi, and found the Wu Family Painting Zhai that Wu Zhi mentioned, but they didn't know anything about Wu Zhi and Wu Yuanwai.

There is no such person at all!

After returning to Ximen Hall, Ximen Qing and Wu Haogu analyzed it and thought that Gouwu was from Pengcheng, seven out of ten, were heroes from Liangshanbo, and it was probably Wu Yong, who was known as the Zhiduoxing.

However, Wu Yong did not show up this time, and obviously gave up chasing Wu Haogu for the time being.

Because the heroes of Liangshan suffered a great loss in Daze Township, they now have a mess to clean up and they can't even spare their hands to deal with Wu Haogu.

Moreover, Liangshan and Wu Haogu had no great grudges, they were just earning money and doing things for others.

Although the matter has not been done now, Liangshan has tried his best and even lost the leader. Even the leader Chao Gai has ruined his face. It is still a matter of whether a life can be saved.

So I am worthy of the first payment given by Chen Youwen. According to the rules of the world, the matter was done, but if it was not successful, the final payment would not be withdrawn.

If Chen Youwen still wanted to ask Liangshan to take action, let alone Chao Gai, whether Song Jiang’s guarantee in Ximentang counted, even the battle in Daze Township made the heads of Wu Hao Guxiang worth several times the value in the world!

Without the first price of tens of thousands of yuan, Liangshan will not take action any more.

After wandering in Pengcheng for a few days, he took advantage of hundreds of calligraphy and paintings, and then played around with Pan Qiaolian and Ximen Qing.

The day for Wu Dalang and Ximen Qing to part, finally came.

Although he would meet again in Haizhou soon, Wu Dalang was still a little reluctant. Ximen Qing even sent him away more than ten miles away from Pengcheng. Wu Haogu and Ximen Qing were both leading horses and walking in front of everyone, chatting while walking, as if they had endless things to say.

"Brother Xiao Yi, can Chao Gai's injury be cured?"

"It's all so hurt. It's not good, it's just a matter of whether we can survive."

"Can you survive?"

"Maybe." Ximen Qing smiled, "Da Lang is worried that Liangshanbo will find you again because of Chao Gai's death?"

Wu Haogu nodded, "I'm always worried about Liangshan. It's really a big brother Ximen laughing."

"What a funny thing?"

Ximen Qing shook his head and looked at Wu Haogu, "This is the first time you have been to the world. There is no strong clan to rely on behind you. It depends entirely on your own ability. You can go back and forth without losing much money, which is not easy."

Business turned out to be very difficult to do!

Wu Haogu did this time with family calligraphy and painting activities, which were so difficult. After traveling from Kaifeng Mansion, he almost lost his life, but he didn't make much money. It would be better to stay in Kaifeng Mansion and paint photos for noble people. With his current name, a painting that costs hundreds or thousands of pieces must be in short supply. If he could paint a few papers for the official family, the Queen Mother would draw a few paintings and get the right to get the painting immediately.

However, to be a painter in Kaifeng Prefecture, let alone saving Tianqing after more than 20 years, it is not easy to survive the disaster.

Now it is still a peaceful and prosperous era, and when you go out, you almost got a good man from Liangshan. If you were to go to Jingkang, would you still want to take your wealthy woman from Kaifeng to Jiangnan?

If you don’t bring your money, how can you live in Jiangnan? In the peaceful and prosperous era, painters will naturally make money easily, but when the world is in chaos, can the life of painters be like this now?

Wu Haogu still vaguely remembers that Li Tang, who is now free and easy on Panlou Street, was wandering in the south of the Yangtze River after the Jingkang Incident and was in a long time. It was not until Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou, rebuilt the Painting Academy.

So no matter how difficult this transaction is, it must be done. No matter how good Kaifeng Mansion is, I am afraid it will not be a place to live for a long time...

"Brother Xiao Yi is right," Wu Haogu nodded, "The deal is indeed the beginning, and I don't know anything except calligraphy and painting."

"It's not that I don't know anything," Ximen Qing smiled, "Didn't you hire coach Lao Lin, coach Kobayashi and coach Lu?

They all have real skills and are protected by them. I didn’t meet Wu Dutou and I in Daze Township a few days ago, and you can escape without experiencing it.”

The battle in Daze Township actually crushed the heroes of Liangshan! If it weren't for Ximen Qing's men and Wu Song, only Lin Wancheng, Lin Chong and Lu Qian could have saved Wu Haogu and escaped. At most, some goods would be lost.

Ximen Qing paused and said, "If you say you have any shortcomings, there will be no one around you."

Your business now is not small. But you don’t have a account, you don’t have any business, you don’t have any copywriting, you don’t have any servants, you don’t have any guards, you don’t have any housekeepers.”

Wu Haogu nodded repeatedly, Ximen Qing was right!

Although the business of the Wu family is not small, the calligraphy and painting business has its own special features and does not require a large number of people to hire.

But if Wu Haogu wants to make the business bigger and break out of the small Kaifeng Painting business, then talent must be needed.

Thinking of this, Wu Haogu turned his head and looked at Ximen Qing, thinking: Ximen Qing is a rare talent. If he can be the chief manager, the future business will be easier to carry out.

But the Ximen family has its own big deal, how can they help other families?

Ximen Qing seemed to find Wu Haogu looking at him, turned his head and looked at him, and whispered: "Are you trying to make a decision?"

Wu Haogu was told through his thoughts, and he smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How dare you, how dare you..."

Ximen Qing smiled, "I can recommend two managers to you, namely Hua, name Manshan, and name Zixu."

"Hua Zixu!" Wu Haogu was shocked when he heard this and thought to himself: Can't Hua Zixu have a wife named Li Ping'er hook up with Ximen Qing, right?

Ximen Qing had never read "Jin Ping Mei", so naturally he would not guess Wu Haogu's idea. He said: "His family was originally a sea merchant, doing business between Liao, Goryeo and Song. The family's fleet suffered a storm at sea two years ago, and thus became a destruction. Now he is a stoichiker in Haizhou, and his life is not satisfactory.

If you go and invite him, he will definitely follow you."

"Okay, okay." Wu Haogu nodded repeatedly, "The recommended talents by Brother Xiao Yi must be."

"There are talents everywhere, it just depends on how you use them." Ximen Qing said, "The other available person is Zhang Xizai whom I met in Yucheng a few days ago."

"Zhang Xizai? Isn't he the shopkeeper himself? Why is he willing to be the manager of me?" Wu Haogu clearly remembered that Zhang Xizai was the shopkeeper of Zhang's inn, and the clan was still engaged in guarding activities.

"His fourth uncle, Zhang Dubaozheng, asked Song Jiang's men to kill him." Ximen Qing said softly, "Three of the good men in the clan died, and Dubaozheng's position was also called another family to take over. The Zhang family was considered defeated.

Naturally, his inn could not be opened. When he left Xuzhou a few days ago, he said he wanted to sell the store and then invested in my house.

You happen to have short staff here, so why not just ask him to help you. Don’t think he is a businessman from a small place, but he has actually studied. He passed the Yingtianfu Trial Test a few years ago and went to the provincial exam, but there is no high school. If you want it, I will take him to Haizhou."

The inn Zhang Xizai was actually a scholar. However, this was common in the Song Dynasty. The four civil straits of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were very vague. The children of businessmen took the imperial examinations and the children of officials were very common.

Wu Haogu said: "I have been studying, doing business, and I can also interact with celebrities from the martial arts world. It seems that this Zhang Xizai is a talent, Brother Xiao Yi, thank you."

"Thank you very much?" Ximen Qing smiled, "Anyway, my family can't use him... My family is also a big clan, and there are hundreds of children in the clan!

But you, as the market grows bigger, don’t forget that the Bai Bowu family’s relatives are descendants of the Taiyuan King and are always more reliable than outsiders.

As he spoke, he looked back at the walls of Pengcheng from afar. They were almost gone on the horizon. "Send you thousands of miles away, and you will be here today.

Dalang, you've walked all the way!"

Wu Haogu bowed to Ximen Qingyi, "Okay, Brother Xiao Yi, see you again in Haizhou!"

...

Wu Dalang had already left and disappeared on the official road leading to the Huaiyang Army. However, Ximen Qing still stood on a high slope next to the official road, looking into the east.

A horse rushed over and it was not until Ximen Qing stood firm. Because he stopped too quickly, the horse's pair of front hooves were raised and a neighing sound was made.

"Sanlang, this is not the Liao Kingdom. You will be eye-catching when you gallop like this."

Ximen Qing didn't look back, and he knew that his guard Murong Sanlang came.

"It's too boring, it's really too boring, Uncle Paoma said..." Murong Sanlang sighed, "It's also aggrieved in the Liao Kingdom. It's still the case in the Song Dynasty. How can I stand out?"

"Let's go?" Ximen Qing just shook his head, "Have you sent a letter to Lin Ya?"

"I've given it. Ma Shiyi went there in person. You can arrive in Yanjing in a maximum of twenty days." Murong Sanlang paused, "But Wu Dalang is just a painter. Is it worth us to do this?"

"Is it worth it? Your Lin Ya has his own opinions." Ximen Qing said coldly, "You can follow Wu Haogu and others quietly. If you see Wu Yong in Liangshan again, there is no need to say more, just kill him!"
