Zhang Shumo thought that Yang Xue agreed to be his internal response, and he was in a good mood, so he hurriedly explained to Yang Xue: "I didn't expect you to be so simple, I'm a little excited." ”

Yang Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "Look at your stupidity!" However, my family is still in Jingguo, so I have to stay with Ji Wen for the time being. ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "This is natural, you can pass on some useful news to me by staying by his side, but don't worry, I will definitely find a way to rescue your family!" ”

Yang Xue pouted: "Don't you save my family if you only save me?" ”

"Save! When I defeat Ji Wen, I'll take you home immediately! ”

Zhang Shumo's original intention was to take Yang Xue's family back to the "home" of Huaiguo, but when Yang Xue heard it, she was distracted, thinking that Zhang Shumo was going to marry her home. So she excitedly threw herself into Zhang Shumo's arms, and her lips tapped lightly on Zhang Shumo's face.

This time Zhang Shumo was stunned in place, obviously she was taken aback by Yang Xue's actions. Yang Xue realized how she could be so active as a woman, don't let Zhang Shumo misunderstand that she is a person and be in trouble. So he quickly stepped aside, blushed and said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just, I'm just so happy!" Don't worry, I'll help you defeat Ji Wen! ”

Zhang Shumo came back to his senses, didn't think so much anymore, and quickly took the opportunity to ask Ji Wen's next plan: "What is Ji Wen going to do this time?" ”

Yang Xue then remembered the purpose of her coming, so she hurriedly told her plan and Ji Wen's plan completely, and Zhang Shumo also thought about it after hearing it.

"So Ji Wen plans to let us kill Zhou Gang, and then crusade against us in the name of avenging Zhou Gang?"

Yang Xue nodded: "That's right, I think you can do what you want, Zhou Gang is an important minister of Jingguo, and killing him Jingguo will definitely cause a riot." ”

Zhang Shumo frowned: "I really want to kill Zhou Gang, but we don't have the strength to fight anymore, and I have to think about this matter carefully." Okay, you've been here for a long time, don't let Ji Wen be suspicious, go back quickly. ”

Yang Xue nodded: "Then I'll go." Then he reluctantly turned around, and was stopped by Zhang Shumo before he went out.

"Wait a minute, you have this cricket jar."

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Shumo handed her a cricket jar, but he kept the lid in his hand: "If someone comes to you with the lid of this cricket jar in the future, it will be my person, and any information can be passed on to me through that person in the future!" ”

Yang Xue nodded and accepted the cricket jar, and left reluctantly again.

Out of the hospital, Hao Yang immediately ushered in, Yang Xue lowered his voice and said to him: "Today's matter is not allowed to be spread, and I will tell the prince in person when I investigate clearly!" ”

After the hour, Ji Wen got up from the bed, changed his clothes and dined, and then convened his subordinates to discuss the matter.

Since Zhang Shumo asked for 100,000 stones of grain and grass when he opened his mouth this time, Ji Wen proposed to recruit his own baggage officer and let him know the situation of grain and grass.

The baggage officer hurriedly reported the situation of the grain and grass in the general: "Lord Qiqi, due to the last enemy attack on the camp, most of the grain and grass of our army were burned, and the enemy army also burned the grain in Taicang when they evacuated, and now the grain and grass in our army is less than 20,000 stones. The subordinates are also trying to report this matter to the prince, should we now let Ma Hua transfer Xu Liangcheng's grain storage to us for 50,000 stones, so as to solve the urgent need. ”

When Ji Wen heard this, he immediately lowered his face: "Why didn't you report such a big event in advance?" How long can the current grain and grass last? ”

The baggage officer hurriedly lowered his head: "It can last for forty days at most." ”

Ji Wen frowned, now that the grain and grass have been burned, the surplus grain is no longer enough for the soldiers in the army, even if the grain and grass in Xu Liang and Qinghua are looted, it may be difficult to reach 100,000 stones, it seems that the amount of grain and grass has to be discussed with Zhang Shumo again.

Geng Li was keenly aware of Ji Wen's strangeness, so he took the initiative to ask: "Lord Wang, this time I asked about the grain and grass, but it is related to the letter sent by the national teacher yesterday?" ”

Ji Wen nodded: "The national teacher was captured by Zhang Shumo, this Zhang Shumo needs 100,000 stone grain and grass and 50,000 armor clothes before he is willing to let the national teacher come back, this king is having a headache about this matter!" ”

When the generals heard this, they were immediately indignant, and they all said bad things about Zhang Shumo, Ji Wen patted the handle of the chair: "Okay, if he scolds him, if it works, why do you have such a headache?" Can't so many of you give advice to this king? After speaking, Ji Wen muttered in a low voice: "It's better to love the concubine." ”

Geng Li thought about it and hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, my subordinates heard that the envoy of Wu Xiujun is the junior brother of the national teacher, why don't we spend a lot of money to buy the envoy and let him talk to Zhang Shumo Haosheng and reduce the grain and grass by half, so that we don't have such a heavy burden." ”

When Ji Wen heard this, he immediately had an idea in his heart: Yes, anyway, he wants Zhang Shumo to kill Zhou Gang, why not bargain with Zhang Shumo? Zhang Shumo can kill Zhou Gang, and he can get grain and grass for nothing, why not do it?

With an idea, Ji Wen had a smile on his face. But in order to make the generals think that they were really trying to rescue Zhou Gang, Ji Wen still agreed to Geng Li's proposal: "Okay, according to General Geng's method, I will invite the envoys of the Wuxiu Army tonight." ”

The generals left, and Ji Wen found Yang Xue again: "Concubine Ai, this time you need a trustworthy subordinate to go to Zhang Shumo's side to contact, this king wants Geng Li to go, I don't know if Concubine Ai has any opinions?" ”

Yang Xue thought about it when she heard it: she had already revealed some information to Hao Yang when she asked him to do something in the morning, if Hao Yang was not allowed to do this matter, then Hao Yang would be convinced of his words.

Thinking of this, Yang Xue said: "Geng Li is the commander of the infantry, and he is in a high position, so sending him as an envoy inevitably seems that we attach too much importance to the martial arts army." Moreover, this time it is necessary to complete the secret order of the prince, not only to be loyal to the prince, but also to be able to act at the opportunity. I think Hao Yang can do this! ”

Ji Wen already trusted Yang Xue very much at this time, so he recruited Hao Yang to entrust him with this matter.

Hao Yang just knew that Yang Xue was investigating Zhou Gang in the morning, and now Ji Wen was going to let himself join Zhang Shumo to get rid of Zhou Gang, so he immediately thought that Yang Xue had found out some important clues this morning, and felt that he would recommend himself if he was able to do his job, so he was very grateful to Yang Xue in his heart. told Ji Wen and Yang Xue on the spot that they would do their best to handle this matter.

When the time came to the evening, Ji Wen held a banquet to entertain Liu Tiantian, and all the generals of Jingguo also knew Ji Wen's purpose, so they flattered Liu Tiantian and wanted him to intercede in front of Zhang Shumo. In this way, Liu Tiantian and his entourage became the focus of the banquet.

A group of Jingguo soldiers patrolled the courtyard and drooled at the sight of the food on the table. A thin soldier couldn't help but complain: "Isn't the Wu Xiu Army an enemy of us? Why entertain them? ”

A burly man pointed to Liu Tiantian and the three of them who were standing not far away: "That Taoist priest is the junior brother of the national teacher, so the prince will invite him to a banquet, and you and I don't have to worry about the above matters." ”

The thin soldier looked at Liu Tiantian and the three of them, and when he saw Zhang Shumo, he couldn't help but sigh: "Big brother, why do I think that person is so familiar, like, like Zhang Shumo!" ”
