After listening to Zhang Yu's conjecture, Xu Yi thought it carefully: Judging from the existing news, the plan to let Zhang Lu and Zhang Shumo recognize each other, and then send Zhang Shumo to Yan Kingdom, was Xue Liang's plan, but Lou Zaiying's unexpected pregnancy made Zhang Lu hesitate. So Zhang Shumo took the initiative to apply again, which made Zhang Lu feel even more guilty! Zhang Yu is right, the Cai family only needs to work hard secretly, at most waste some money, and the cost can be said to be negligible. But if Zhang Shumo really becomes the prince and even ascends the throne, in the end, it will be beneficial to the Cai family and no harm!

Thinking of this, Xu Yi asked: "Childe, if this incident is really done by the Cai family, how is Childe going to deal with it?" ”

Zhang Yu smiled: "The Cai family has a lot of influence in the capital, and my father's rebellion against Xue Liang this time is not small, I think the crown prince can't do without the support of the Cai family, so I can't move them for the time being." Is the teacher satisfied with this answer? ”

Xu Yi nodded: "Childe's analysis is right, and there is no real evidence for this matter, so we can't act rashly." As long as Zhang Shumo can't come back after going to Yan Kingdom, all the problems will be solved! ”

"No, not only will he not be able to come back, but the original plan will continue. This time, we will do both, even if he is lucky enough to come back, it is impossible to pose a threat to me! ”

On behalf of the capital of the capital of the Yan Kingdom, a fast horse entered the palace, and soon a little eunuch came to the side of the emperor of the Yan Kingdom, Gongsun Ze, with a letter.

Gongsun Xue was playing chess with Prime Minister Fan Yao, and the little eunuch had to whisper: "Your Majesty, Huaiguo has a letter." ”

Who knew that Gongsun Xue waved his hand: "Give it to the prime minister, I think Zhang Lu will not agree, handing over his only son to us is equivalent to handing over his life to us, although agreeing to our request can be exchanged for a short period of peace, but there is no future." Zhang Lu is not stupid! ”

Fan Yao hurriedly took the letter: "Your Majesty Shengming, but now Zhang Lu has no choice, maybe things will take a turn for the better." ”

After speaking, Fan Yao opened the envelope and read it carefully. Immediately after that, the expression on Fan Yao's face was uncertain, and Gongsun Ze, who was watching, became curious.

"What? What other conditions did they make? Gongsun Ze couldn't help but ask.

Fan Yao hurriedly handed the letter to Gongsun Ze: "Back to Your Majesty, Zhang Lu agreed!" It's just that he said that he wanted to send his second son Zhang Rui to my country. ”

Gongsun Xue took the letter and took a cursory look at it, and then slapped the letter on the table: "This Zhang Lu, how dare you play tricks on me, his second son obviously died two years ago, how did he send it to my country?" Do you want to send the corpse here? ”

Fan Yao immediately pointed to the content of the letter and explained: "Your Majesty, please look here, Zhang Lu said in the letter that his second son did not pass away, and he deliberately sent the second son to the northwest of Huaiguo as a secret son, to be activated after the rebellion. In his heart, he said that the person named Zhang Shumo was his second son Zhang Rui. ”

"Zhang Shumo? It's a familiar name. ”

"If you go back to the saint, Zhang Shumo is the seventeen-year-old boy who helped Zhang Lu pacify the northwest. When the saint heard about Zhang Shumo's deeds, he praised him, and a few days ago, the spies reported that he had been named the king of Zhenxi by Zhang Lu. Fan Yao explained.

After hearing this, Gongsun Ze knocked on the table with his fingers: "This Zhang Lu, there are some means." Zhang Shumo is also a talent, so if he pretends to be his second son, he doesn't have to send his own son, the key is that we can't refute it. ”

"Your Majesty thinks Zhang Lu deceived our country?"

"Could it be that the prime minister has a different opinion?" Gongsun Ze asked rhetorically.

Fan Yao shook his head: "My subordinates don't know, it's just that this Zhang Shumo's ability is obviously better than Zhang Yu." At the age of seventeen, he can defeat Zhou Gang, the old thief of Jingguo, and I am afraid that there will be no second person in this world! Regardless of whether he is Zhang Lu's son or not, such a person was sent to our country, there is no reason to refuse! ”

Gongsun Xue raised his chin after hearing this: "Is the prime minister sure that he will use it for me?" ”

"It's hard to say, but I always want to try. And even if it doesn't work for me, I can get rid of it. Zhang Shumo will definitely be an important minister of Huaiguo in the future, and getting rid of him will be one less threat! ”

Gongsun Xue nodded after listening: "Okay, then according to the Prime Minister's intentions, you go and write a letter to reply to Zhang Lu." ”

In the Huaiguo Palace, Zhang Lu summoned Zhang Shumo again.

"I heard your mission has already chosen someone?" Zhang Lu asked.

Zhang Shumo nodded: "The selection is good, there are two people in the northwest, and it may take a few days to get to the capital." ”

"No hurry, I want to keep you for two more days."

Zhang Shumo smiled: "Sooner or later, I have to leave, when my father calms down the war in the south and takes me back." ”

Zhang Lu also laughed: "It seems that you are quite optimistic, right?" I feel better if you think so, but Yan Guo and his party are definitely nine deaths, so you'd better be mentally prepared. These are some of the situations in Yan Kingdom, you better memorize them, maybe it will be useful. ”

After speaking, Zhang Lu handed over a thick pile of information to Zhang Shumo.

Zhang Shumo took a cursory look, and the paper recorded the situation, preferences, and family members of the Yan Kingdom, which was very detailed.

"How can my father have information about the major officials of the Yan Kingdom?" Zhang Shumo asked curiously.

Zhang Lu smiled: "Knowing that the other side can win a hundred battles, I will naturally investigate the enemy country." This emperor of Yan is called Gongsun Ze, and his martial arts are good, but he is a straight person, and he looks like a threat, but it is best to fool. You have to be careful of Fan Yao, the prime minister of Yan Guo, this person is quite scheming, his mood is invisible, and he will be a difficult opponent. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Lu paused and continued: "But you don't have to worry too much, the Yan Kingdom made its fortune from the bitter cold land in the north, and the Central Plains countries all regard them as barbarians, so they are most eager to be recognized by the Central Plains countries. As long as you grasp this and make good friends, you should be able to come back safely. ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "I'll take a closer look at these when I go back, thank you!" After speaking, he bowed to Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu was stunned for a moment, with a slight loss in his eyes, but he was lost in an instant: "Okay, you are so prepared, you must come back safely!" ”

In the next few days, Zhang Shumo memorized the information that Zhang Lu handed over to him, and waited for Li Mo and Zhang Gui to arrive.

Finally, Li Mo and Zhang Gui rushed to the capital, and Zhang Shumo's delegation finally gathered the number of people. Zhang Lu set off for him three days later, and set up a banquet for Zhang Shumo to make a big trip.

At the banquet, all the officials of Huaiguo wanted to toast the people of the mission, because they knew that these people risked their lives to go to Yan Kingdom for the safety of Huaiguo.

Zhang Yu burst into tears at the banquet, and he didn't know if he drank too much wine, or was moved by Zhang Shumo's initiative to go to Yan Kingdom, he actually knelt down to thank Zhang Shumo, and all the officials praised the friendship between the two brothers.

Zhang Yu is the same, Zhang Shumo is more and more uneasy, he not only let Ke Fu stay to protect the safety of Lou Zaiying's sister and brother, but also told Cai Zhi that if someone attacks them, he will leave the capital and return to the northwest.

After everything was explained, Zhang Shumo left Qinyang City with the delegation and went to Yan Kingdom.
