After listening to Fan Yao's words, Zhang Shumo understood what Fan Yao meant. So he hurriedly explained: "Fan Xiang seems to have some misunderstanding about Zaixia. There are accidents here, and there are also traitors who framed them, and they didn't take the initiative to approach Princess Rong. ”

Fan Yao smiled weirdly after hearing this: "At first, I also believed that the last time Gongzi strayed into Princess Rong's palace, he was framed by a traitor. But what happened recently makes me have to wonder, otherwise how could Princess Rong sleep drunk and sleep together in the child's room? ”

Zhang Shumo scratched his head, Fan Yao is not a vexatious person, there is no evidence for this kind of rumor, he must have ulterior motives when he mentions it now. So Zhang Shumo took the initiative to ask: "I said that this matter was accidental, and Fan Xiang didn't want to believe it, did Fan Xiang want to let Zai Xia come up with evidence?" ”

Fan Yao laughed: "If you can come up with evidence now, I will be even more suspicious." ”

"Then what does Fan Xiang mean by mentioning this matter now?" Zhang Shumo asked puzzled.

Who knew that Fan Yao showed a strange smile: "Naturally, I want Zhang Gongzi to prove his determination to stay in my Yan Kingdom!" I have already made it clear what I said just now, it won't be long before the assassination case of the post house will be closed, Xu Xuan is an assassin of Zheng Guo, and he came to assassinate Zhang Gongzi according to Zheng Guo's orders, and it has nothing to do with the rest of my Yan Kingdom. As for Xu Xuan's companions, as well as Xu Xuan's life and death, it is in the hands of Gongzi, and it is up to Gongzi to decide what to do! ”

Zhang Shumo took a deep breath after hearing this, and bowed to Fan Yao: "Thank you Fan Xiang for mentioning it, Zhang Shumo will definitely not live up to Fan Xiang's kindness!" ”

On the way back to the post house, Zhang Shumo couldn't help but think in his heart. The last time I was framed in the palace, if it weren't for Gongsun Rong's help, I am afraid that the matter of peace would have been in vain. Now it seems that this matter was obviously committed by His Royal Highness Er, and the little eunuch should have died at the hands of Xu Xuan's companions.

But Fan Yao suddenly mentioned this matter, and it obviously didn't make sense to threaten himself with this matter. It seems that he handed Xu Xuan over to himself to test himself, to see if he considered the interests of Yan Guo when he dealt with this matter, and only by putting himself in the shoes of Yan Guo, they should believe in themselves. But how to deal with Xu Xuan is the most appropriate?

In the post house, Chen Lin and the others had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Zhang Shumo came back, a group of people came to Zhang Shumo's room to discuss matters.

Zhang Shumo directly told everyone what Fan Yao meant, and then asked everyone to consult the staff what to do next.

Cai Xun asked Zhang Shumo with a puzzled expression: "Childe, since Fan Yao has already explained what he meant, wouldn't it be better for you to follow his will?" Why do we need to discuss countermeasures? ”

"Fan Yao is deceitful, if you just let me be this tool, why do you need to mention Gongsun Rong's matter? Presumably he wanted to test me to see if I put myself in Yan Guo's shoes. Zhang Shumo explained.

Zhang Gui was also a little puzzled: "There is nothing wrong with using Xu Xuan to attract his companions?" It is also acceptable for Yan Guo. ”

Zhang Shumo bit his lower lip and shook his head: "I thought the same way at first, but there will be a few problems if this matter is left to me." One, Xu Yao is a descendant of Xu Ke, kill Xu Xuan, Xu Ke will definitely send all the disciples of the Thunder Sword Sect to assassinate me, which is equivalent to Fan Yao handing over a hot yam to me. Second, I hosted this matter, which expressed the trust of the Emperor of Yan Guo in me, and also showed the determination of Yan Guo to be friendly with me. But if I kill Zheng Guoren, I will lead the war to Yan Kingdom, so can I still think about Yan Kingdom? ”

Liu naturally frowned: "Zhang Shumo, could it be that you are thinking too much, if Fan Yao wants to release the assassin, why should you be asked to host this matter?" If he directly sent people back to Zheng Guo, wouldn't he still be able to win Zheng Guo's favor. ”

At this moment, Chen Lin couldn't help but say, "Childe's worry is right! Assassins can't kill, but they can't be released either! ”

Zhang Shumo hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" ”

Chen Lin arched his hand to Zhang Shumo: "Childe, since it is the Second Highness who has an affair with Zheng Guo, killing the assassin will inevitably put the Second Highness in an embarrassing situation, if Childe is really thinking about Yan Guo, how can he ignore the situation of the Second Highness?" Moreover, Fan Yao deliberately mentioned asking Gongzi to find conclusive evidence to prove that His Royal Highness was the mastermind behind the scenes, so that His Royal Highness could give up the battle for the throne, which was a deliberate temptation of Gongzi! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Lin paused and continued: "The means and plans of the Second Highness Gongsun Zhi are much higher than those of His Royal Highness Gongsun Luo, and compared to Gongsun Luo, it is obvious that Gongsun Zhi is more suitable to be the prince. If Gongzi really finds conclusive evidence and asks Gongsun Zhi to give up the position of prince, then will Gongzi still think about Yan Guo? ”

Zhang Shumo sighed in his heart when he heard this, it turned out that Fan Yao had made a big circle and the ultimate goal was here, but fortunately, he was cautious in his words and deeds just now, and he did not show any flaws.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo immediately asked Chen Lin for advice: "Then according to Mr., what should I do?" ”

"Do what Fan Yao wants, if another assassin appears, he will be captured directly and returned to Fan Yao! If the other assassin doesn't show up, then the boy will secretly let Xu Xuan go! ”

"Huh? Secretly let go? When everyone heard Chen Lin's words, their eyes widened, and they didn't understand his intentions.

Chen Lin smiled slightly: "You go to Gao Yan first to discuss countermeasures, and tell Gao Yan about this idea, and then listen to Gao Yan's instructions before making plans." ”

Zhang Shumo raised his eyebrows, as if he understood what Chen Lin meant. So he nodded: "Okay, I'll go see Gao Yan, is Mr. willing to go?" ”

Chen Lin shook his head: "No! You have to convince Gao Yan that we have all agreed to kill the assassin directly and force Yan Guo and Zheng Guo to become enemies. But you feel that something is wrong in your heart, so you went to discuss with Gao Yan, as long as Gao Yan believes it, Fan Yao will be able to explain it. ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "Understood, thank you Mr. for mentioning it, I'll leave now." ”

After speaking, Zhang Shumo immediately set off and ran to the General's Mansion.

In the general's mansion, Gao Yan and Gongsun Ningyan were discussing the relationship between Zhang Shumo and Gongsun Rong, when they suddenly heard a report from the next person, saying that Zhang Shumo got up alone and asked to see him, and the two couldn't help but wonder.

"I really said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive, and I don't know what happened to him this time." Gongsun Ningyan said.

Gao Yan got up directly and said, "If Madam wants to know, come with me to see him." ”。

After speaking, Gao Yan and Gongsun Ningyan came to the study together, and after a while, the next person brought Zhang Shumo over.

As soon as Zhang Shumo saw the two of them, he quickly knelt down and bowed, this time the two of them were very useful, and after the three of them were polite, Gao Yan finally couldn't help asking: "I heard that you didn't accompany you this time, so cautious I don't know what's going on?" ”
