In the face of the shock and incomprehension of the Zhou family, Zhao Qinglin coped with it quite calmly.

At the same time, he did not hide the specific situation from the Zhou family, and truthfully explained the matter of Zhao's submission to Chen Ziqian.

After the Zhou family learned that the Zhao family had returned to the Yong'an army, the atmosphere in the guest hall obviously changed again.

One by one, they were even more divergent in their thinking, speculating about the deep meaning of Zhao Qinglin's trip.

The old man squinted his eyes slightly, and asked cautiously: "The virtuous nephew just said that if there is a discussion, what is the so-called matter?" ”

Zhao Qinglin nodded and said: "Chen Fujun led an army of 50,000 to conquer Huaihua, and now Banyang and Bashan have been broken, and at the same time, Chen Fujun also used troops to Huaihua and water control yesterday, I believe that it will not be long before these two cities can hardly resist the power of Yong'an. ”

Zhao Qinglin's voice fell, and the guest hall fell into a dead silence for a while, and everyone's eyes were focused on Old Man Zhou at the same time.

Chen Ziqian is no exception, in fact, as soon as he enters the door, he is looking at the attributes of these people in the Zhou family.

Not to mention, this Zhou family, as a local family, does have a few talents with good qualifications in the house.

For example, Zhou Kangsheng, who brought them in before, was no less than Zhao Qinglin.

In addition to this Zhou Kangsheng, another person who impressed Chen Ziqian was the old man Zhou in the hall.

Personal information: Tongzhou Baoyuan, 64 years old, has a cunning and strong personality

It can be seen from the attributes of Old Man Zhou that this is an ambitious and city-rich character, and it is obviously not easy to successfully subdue him.

Zhou Jiansheng heard Zhao Qinglin's question at this moment, his brows were also tightly locked into the word 'Sichuan', and his cloudy eyes shone with brilliance.

can sit in the position of the head of the family, obviously this old man Zhou is not an idle person, and he simply analyzed a lot of information from Zhao Qinglin's words.

But he didn't rush to respond, and sat there with a deep groan.

Zhao Qinglin glanced at the other party, and saw that the other party was not in a hurry to express his position, and continued: "Since Huaihua entered the country, the people in various places have not been able to make a living, and Zhang Fujun has no action in the face of the chaos in the territory, the head of the family means that he hopes that Zhou Gong can also return to Chen Fujun as soon as possible, and our two families will have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions together. ”

"Oh!?" Zhou Jiansheng raised his eyebrows, and looked at Zhao Qinglin's eyes with some changes: "What does the virtuous nephew mean when he joins forces?" ”

"Naturally, it's this Baoyuan County!" Zhao Qinglin did not hide it, and said bluntly: "Chen Fujun is menacing, first go down to Banyang and Bashan, and then use soldiers to Huaihua and control the water, once it is successful, the next will inevitably start to recover Rongwei and Baoyuan, if the two of us can join forces, take advantage of the current Baoyuan to give to Chen Fujun, it will be a great achievement." ”

"The virtuous nephew doesn't know, there is chaos in Baoyuan, there are as many as 30 gangs of rogue forces from all walks of life alone, and it is not as simple as words to take Baoyuan." Zhou Jiansheng shook his head and said.

The other Zhou disciples in the hall were also discussing, and that Zhou Kangsheng said directly: "Since the entry of the Liukou, Baoyuan has been in a mess, and various forces have been killing for several months, and it has only recently calmed down, if anyone stands up to break this peace at this time, I am afraid that it will inevitably become the target of public criticism." ”

"I'm also quite curious about this matter, Baoyuan can accommodate so many rogue forces at the same time, it should be intolerable, how can it still coexist peacefully?" Zhao Qinglin didn't forget to glance at Chen Ziqian as he spoke, this is a question that Chen Ziqian has always been unable to figure out, so he took this opportunity to ask.

Zhou Kangsheng said: "In the past few months, there has been a lot of fighting, but two months ago, those ferocious and brutal rogue forces gradually stopped. ”

"Kobold Commander?" Zhao Qinglin raised his eyebrows, and immediately thought of the husband of the woman who accompanied him: "This person is Lu Shangyuan?" ”

"It is this person, a few years ago, he was filial piety and honesty, and his name is not small, Qinglin has an old relationship with this person?" Zhou Kang glanced at Zhao Qinglin meaningfully and asked.

Zhao Qinglin shook his head: "I just heard about it by chance on the road, but according to what Brother Kang Sheng said, don't the rogue forces in Baoyuan have the intention of joining forces in one place?" ”

"That's true, it's just that those rogues are all outlaws, and there are many mountains, and no one obeys anyone, so it's not so easy to merge them."

After Zhou Kangsheng finished speaking, he looked at Zhou Jiansheng, who was still silent, obviously he had been paying attention to this matter, and took this opportunity to arch his hand and said to Zhou Jiansheng: "Family master, although it is difficult for those rogue forces to merge for the time being, they are many and short of food, and sooner or later they will join forces for their livelihood, and we families may be difficult to resist at that time." ”

"You want to say anything, but it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhou Jiansheng gave Zhou Kangsheng a look.

Zhou Kangsheng said with a serious face: "With the strength of my Zhou family alone, it is indeed difficult to reverse the situation of Baoyuan, but now with the help of the Zhao family, if we can persuade the Tian family to work together, it may not be difficult to recover Baoyuan, so it is better to take this opportunity...... Submit to Chen Fujun? ”

"I have three hundred cavalry, which can help Duke Zhou." Zhao Qinglin saw that Zhou Kangsheng was helping to speak, and hurriedly gave up his hand, which had the intention of rushing the ducks to the shelves and urging Zhou Jiansheng to make a decision.

But Zhou Jiansheng squinted his eyes slightly, shook his head and said: "The Tian family has always been at odds with my Zhou family, if you want to convince the Tian family, I'm afraid it's impossible, not to mention that the situation in Baoyuan is far from that simple, this matter is very important, and it needs to be carefully considered." ”

Zhou Jiansheng stood up and said: "Recently, the old man's leg disease has recurred, and he can't sit for a long time, and now it's time to eat, the virtuous nephew has come from afar, and he can stay in the house temporarily, Kangsheng, you will entertain Qinglin on behalf of the old man, and the old man will not accompany him much." ”

"This ......" Zhou Kangsheng frowned slightly, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the old man did it on purpose.

Of course, Zhao Qinglin was not stupid, although he was a little unhappy in his heart, he still bowed his hand respectfully and said goodbye.

After Zhou Jiansheng left, the other Zhou clansmen also got up.

Of course, they didn't want to chase away guests, but came over to invite them warmly and let Zhao Qinglin enter the banquet.

Zhao Qinglin nodded with a smile, naturally it was not easy to refuse this kindness, but before leaving, he deliberately found an excuse to avoid the Zhou clan, and specifically asked Chen Ziqian for advice: "Lord, this week, the old man doesn't know how to lift, obviously he doesn't plan to surrender, what should we do next?" ”

"After all, it is about hundreds of people in the entire Zhou clan, and it is natural for Old Man Zhou to be so cautious." Chen Ziqian nodded and said: "Later, when you go to the banquet, you can talk to Zhou Kangsheng more, he is a good breakthrough, by the way, inquire about the situation of all parties in Baoyuan, the more detailed the better." ”

"My subordinates understand!" Zhao Qinglin is a smart person, he can't arrange troops, and it's not okay to charge into battle, but if he wants to be a lobbyist, he can't put some news on it: "What about the lord and those shadow guards outside?" ”

"You don't care about this, just stay in this Wu Fort with peace of mind for the time being, and try your best to persuade the Zhou family to surrender." Chen Ziqian squinted his eyes slightly and said: "Today's three hundred cavalry are blatantly heading to Baoyuan, which must have attracted the attention of all forces, let's go separately to find out the news first, and then meet later." ”
