"You want to fight Xue Ju in Jincheng, and prepare for a quick battle? I believe that your art of war will never be defeated, but this is by no means a wise move. ”

After Tang Jian hesitated slightly, he still sent a jade talisman in his sleeve to Li Shimin: "Just four hours ago, when I left Jiuquan Villa, someone handed me this talisman. ”

Li Shimin frowned slightly, and immediately flicked his fingers lightly on the jade talisman. With a piece of information, it flowed into his sea of mind, and his face was also slightly moved: "This person can dominate one side, and it really doesn't rely on force." can bend and stretch, and is indeed a hero. However, is such a condition credible?"

"If I don't think it's credible, I won't take it out at this time. In the final analysis, he was generous to others, and his family did not pay anything except to lose some face and let his eldest son suffer some humiliation. ”

Tang Jian's tone was leisurely: "I think you are not having a good time now, but the situation of their family must be extremely bad?"

"Almost. ”

Li Shimin nodded: "What Bai Yusa is encroaching on is not only our salt source. Now Jincheng Xue's business is also being eaten up by Bai Yusa and Li Rail. Speaking of which, the loss of his family is at least ten times greater than ours. ”

"That's it. ”

Tang Jian smiled: "Whether you believe it or not, it all depends on you." But I personally think that I might as well believe it once, otherwise, it will inevitably be a lose-lose situation. I think even if we win in the end, I'm afraid we won't be able to do this private salt business again. ”

"Is the jade burning?"

Li Shimin didn't reply immediately, but shook his head: "This time his sincerity is enough, but the peace battle between me and him is not in my joints, and I have to ask Yurou and Qinglong Villa's opinions before making a decision." ”

Tang Jian couldn't help but sigh, but he also knew the support of Qinglong Villa for Li Shimin. So I don't plan to continue persuasion. But just as he was ready to move on to the next topic. Zhang Yurou walked in from outside the study door: "Don't ask me, Erlang, you can reply to him directly." ”

Li Shimin looked at the girl who walked in in with a surprised expression, and then frowned: "Yurou, if you want to take care of me, then you don't have to." Although Xue Ju's power is deep-rooted, I am confident that I will be able to win the battle. Just do it right, not necessarily—"

"I'm not worried about Erlang, you're embarrassed, it's because of my father. ”

Zhang Yurou didn't wait for him to finish, she shook her head slightly, and handed a letter to Li Shimin with a helpless expression: "That guy actually begged my father." ”

"So what did Ling Zun say?"

Li Shimin opened the letter as he spoke, and then stretched his eyebrows.

The vast majority of the Chinese characters in this letter are greetings to Zhang Yurou, expressing a father's concern for his daughter. It was not until the end that the dispute in Kansai was mentioned.

To sum it up, it's four words - take it when you see it!

Zhang Yurou pursed her lips, looking disdainful and unwilling: "He usually boasts of being a hero, but when it comes to the critical moment, he is the first to be a soft egg." That Xue Rengao obviously killed so many of us. ”

Li Shimin and Tang Jian couldn't help but look at each other and smile bitterly. Zhang Zhongjian has spent nearly six or seven million pounds for this battle that does not see much benefit - this cannot be regarded as a soft egg in any case.

"With all due respect, Master Zhang's move is wise and a true hero!"

Tang Jian had no fear of Zhang Yurou, and immediately disagreed: "The husband is a hero, good at understanding the current situation, and knows what can and cannot be done." Isn't it a hero that Zhang Zhuang was able to give full support to Vilu Cha at any cost when the Kansai incident occurred, and was able to stop at an appropriate time after the situation became clear, knowing that he was advancing and retreating? The current situation is not the time to act willfully, and this will not solve any problems. ”

Zhang Yurou pursed the corners of her lips, but did not refute, and said to Li Shimin: "So Erlang, you don't need to care about my side at all." I personally hope that you can defeat Xue Ju in one fell swoop, even if my father no longer supports it, I can still take out four million yuan of private money in my hand, and I can support it for a while. But if Erlang you really can't do it, or if you have other considerations, you have to negotiate peace with him, I can accept it. ”

Li Shimin saw that the girl, although she was disdainful and contemptuous of Zhang Zhongjian on her face, but in fact, there was a bit of pride in the depths of her eyes. In his words, he did not have the unforgettable anger and hatred of the Jincheng Xue clan before.

- This did not surprise him, but Xue Ju's offer was extremely sincere, and it was just within their psychological bottom line, which was enough to comfort the undead.

However, after thinking for a while, he still shook his head: "I want to talk to Bai Yusa first, if it really doesn't work, then make another plan."

"Bai Yushao, he should be in Chang'an City. That guy now lives in East City with a group of people and sells illicit salt. ”

Zhang Yurou frowned slightly: "I have heard a little about this person's character. The so-called rampant ambition refers to this type of people. If you take the initiative to find him, it will only make him more proud, even more aggressive. ”

"You have to salute before you soldiers, right?"

Li Shimin replied lightly: "Bai Yusa is just that, the problem is the people behind him, I can't care." ”

"Go and humiliate yourself!"

Zhang Yurou snorted softly, and then pointed to the outside of the study with her tender fingers,

"But before that, the head of Mr. Wei who was waiting outside, Erlang, can you think about how to deal with it? When I came in just now, this person's face was ugly, and that resentment could be felt from a distance of ten miles. ”

"Wei Tailai, I've been prepared. ”

Li Shimin replied indifferently, in his opinion, this is the simplest thing.

Compared with this person, he was more concerned about the evil spirits that had left him before leaving Tongguan, and he had not even participated in the battle between him and Xue Ju.

After more than ten days, has this person already harvested?

※ ※ ※ ※

Just when Li Shimin was thinking about warding off evil spirits, this protector of the Divine Machine Gate was quietly infiltrating a camp in the night.

This is a temporary camp for officers and soldiers, with a large number of horses and carriages. The patrol inside is tight, full of open and dark sentinels, and there are even magicians in charge. Every half a moment, a layer of blue light sweeps across the perimeter of this camp.

However, the black-armored Sikong was able to walk freely inside, and many patrols passing by turned a blind eye.

He dodged to one of the carriages and stabbed a triangular pyramid into a malfunctioning yellow cloth bag inside. When the triangular cones were pulled out and a little corn was brought out, a glimmer of brilliance suddenly flashed in Sikong's eyes to ward off evil spirits.

After that, he shifted his position several times, and changed a total of eleven carriages, and examined them one by one. After knowing half an hour, he withdrew silently from the camp and came to the top of a hill fifteen miles away, looking down on the camp.

"How's it going? Isn't it rewarding? I see your reaction this time is different from before. ”

This voice came from behind Sikong to ward off evil spirits, ethereal and changing, making it difficult to fathom the direction. There was only a dark shadow that even the moonlight could not penetrate, covering the ten zhang radius.

Sikong didn't care about this, but said thoughtfully: "There is a large amount of corn, cinnabar, sulfur and saltpeter, etc., and there is even a small bag of diamond and Hetian jade, I think this time, it should be eight or nine without leaving ten,"

"Diamond and Hetian jade, these are all excellent array materials. ”

The man in the darkness couldn't help but let out a chuckle: "Have you finally found it?" Fortunately, otherwise you will be embarrassed to explain to the Lord of the Kaifu." ”

"What's so embarrassing? I've used all the resources at my disposal these days, and all the horse teams that should go to Henan have been missed. If he can't find it, it's because he miscalculated, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

When Sikong said this, a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes: "But he really guessed correctly, after blocking Tongguan for ten days, he will definitely make the Demon Dragon Eight Divisions lose ground and take risks." ”

"Without such ability, how can you rise among the close ministers of the Son of Heaven in just one year?"

The man sighed, and then the darkness shrouded behind Sikong to ward off evil spirits gradually withdrew: "There are many dreams in the night, it is better to inform the Kaifu Lord as soon as possible about this matter, I am already looking forward to the follow-up." ”

"Why do you need to remind you of this?"

With a wave of his sleeve, a dark black runic sword slipped out, and under the cover of the night, it passed away in the direction of the south at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people to see.

And Sikong Warding Off the evil himself was still staring at the temporary camp, his eyes were dark, and the murderous intent was hidden.

"Don't be in a hurry, you probably don't know who I found in this camp. That's an old friend of you and mine—"

"Huh?"

The black shadow that was about to disperse condensed into a stream again: "Who is it?

"It's the White Tiger!"

When the three words of the common air to ward off evil spirits were spoken, an equally condensed killing force immediately overflowed from within this black shadow.

Coincidentally, at the same time, behind a dense forest hundreds of miles away, the red-haired girl was in the moonlight, looking at a piece of paper in her hand, her eyes were also cold, and a trace of cold qi overflowed from her.

"Li Jing, are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"My task now is only to inform you of this, and there is no possibility of misconduct. ”

Outside the hundred zhang of the red-whisked girl, a man covered in red responded in a cold voice: "Within three days, the second son wants to see Li Jing's head, this is the second son's original words." There is also this medicine, please take it together. As for why, I think you should understand. ”

With that, he threw another medicine bottle in front of the Red Whisker Girl.

At this time, the red whisker girl's black jewel-like pupils immediately contracted slightly. What flashed inside was an indescribable resoluteness, murderous intent, and bitterness. She knew that she was now, but she was afraid that she was in a desperate situation.
