After listening to Zhang Shumo's analysis, Gongsun Zhi was silent for a long time, and then said slowly: "What Zhang Gongzi said is reasonable, but I have a different opinion. ”

"First, it's not just Huaiguo who sent an embassy, there was a Zheng Guo delegation long before you. They promised that as long as we send troops to Huaiguo, we will rely on our own ability at that time, and whoever fights will belong to whom! And promised that there would be no strife for twenty years. ”

"Second, Zhang Gongzi's suggestion is really good, but it does not delay us from using troops against Huaiguo. When we divide Huaiguo with Zheng Guo, it's not too late to make a move on Jing Guo. ”

"Third, on one side is the powerful Zheng Guo, and on the other side is the devastated Huai Guo, which do you think we will choose to join forces?"

Zhang Shumo narrowed his eyes after hearing this: "Zheng Guo really didn't have a good heart!" I'm afraid that your country doesn't believe in Zheng Guo either, right? Otherwise, why didn't your country choose to join forces with Zheng Guo directly, but instead agreed to let our mission come to Beijing on behalf of you? ”

"Zhang Gongzi really said that the second highness is in the heart." Gongsun Rong applauded on the side: "We really don't trust Zheng Guo, but why should we believe in Huaiguo?" ”

"It's up to me! It won't be long before my father will be the emperor in Qinyang, and I will be the prince of Huaiguo. My father's willingness to let me be an envoy is the greatest sincerity! ”

After Zhang Shumo finished speaking, he found that Rong Gongzi suddenly laughed, and immediately felt that something was wrong, Rong Gongzi must have ulterior motives when he said this, did he fall for his way?

Gongsun Rong smiled and continued: "But Gongzi Zhang will not stay in my Yan Kingdom, and when you leave Daijing, who knows if you are sincere?" Of course, if Gongzi is willing to stay in my Yan country, then we will naturally believe in the sincerity of your country. If the prince is willing to work for my Dayan, then maybe the saint will assign a satisfactory marriage for the son! ”

After speaking, Gongsun Rong looked at Gao Ning'er with ulterior motives.

Zhang Shumo followed Gongsun Rong's eyes and looked at Gao Ning'er, and immediately understood what Gongsun Rong meant. If Yan Guo promises Huaiguo's righteousness, he will most likely be left in Yan Guo as a hostage. However, Rong Gongzi obviously misunderstood, he said that Gao Ning'er was obviously perfunctory when he said that day, but he didn't expect him to believe it. But there is no reason for him to rely on Gao Ning'er's beauty to keep him, what is the conspiracy in this?

Gongsun Zhi also chimed in: "Hmm! Rong Gongzi's method is good, if Zhang Gongzi is willing to serve my Dayan, I can consider trying to protect this righteousness! ”

Zhang Shumo couldn't help but worry in his heart, what kind of conspiracy was Rong Gongzi playing with the second prince singing and harmonizing, if it was just to let himself stay, he wouldn't need to play any tricks?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo arched his hand to Gongsun Zhi: "I don't know what this means by the saint of your country?" ”

Gongsun Zhi shook his head: "Today is just you and me chatting, and my father doesn't know about it!" ”

Zhang Shumo squinted his eyes and thought: Fang Zheng himself has offended the eldest prince, and now he urgently needs to find a backer, these two princes look good, and they are against the eldest prince, and it is the best choice to pull him as a backer. And after all, he wants to stay as a hostage, and now agreeing to the second prince can be regarded as selling his personal favor.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo gave a big gift to Gongsun Zhi: "Second Highness, as long as your country is willing to negotiate peace, you are willing to stay in Yan Country for a long time!" ”

Hearing Zhang Shumo's words, Gao Ning'er couldn't help but gasp and made a strange sound, causing Zhang Shumo to look at her. Seeing this, Gao Ning'er was even more uneasy, and thought about it wildly: Could it be that Zhang Shumo really agreed to stay so readily for himself?

Gongsun Rong also thought of Gao Ning'er's strange appearance, and deliberately quipped: "Gongzi Zhang, my Yan country has a beautiful woman like Miss Ning'er, and it is not a loss for you to stay." ”

Gongsun Zhi also laughed with satisfaction: "Hahaha, okay, since Zhang Gongzi is so refreshing, then I will naturally do my best to promote peace talks!" ”

After the four of them finished chatting about business, they talked about Fengyue again. However, among the four, Gongsun Rong devoted himself to studying poetry and books, and quoted scriptures and classics as soon as he opened his mouth. Zhang Shumo has been reading poetry since he was a child, and the two naturally talked about it. Gongsun Zhi and Gao Ning'er advocate force, they don't read much, and there are not many places to interject.

While chatting, Zhang Gui and Li Mo came to interrupt the four of them.

"Childe, there is another group of scholars who want to ask Childe for advice, we have refused to leave several times, and some of them even threw stones at our soldiers, saying that they will not leave if we don't see you today."

When Gongsun Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Again?" Are there a lot of people who come here to trouble you? ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "I don't know who spread the rumors, saying that I don't take your country's saints seriously, so the scholars in your country will criticize me." ”

Gongsun Zhi sighed: "My country is arrogant, I can understand this kind of thing, and Zhang Gongzi doesn't have to take it to heart." You go out with me, I'll explain it to them! ”

After speaking, the four of them came to the door with Zhang Gui and Li Mo.

In addition to the group of scholars surrounding the door, there were also many people watching the excitement, and I don't know who in the crowd shouted: "That person is Zhang Shumo." When they heard this, they immediately gathered around them.

The soldiers hurriedly formed a human wall to block in front of Zhang Shumo and the others, Gongsun Zhi cleared his throat and was about to speak loudly, when a white light suddenly flashed in the crowd, and then several soldiers fell to the ground. At the same time, four or five people rushed out of the crowd and rushed towards Zhang Shumo and his party!

"There are assassins, protect Childe!" Li Mo shouted, and then immediately blocked in front of Zhang Shumo.

Gongsun Zhi was full of martial arts, so he did not panic, but protected Gongsun Rong and Gao Ning'er. Jang Gyu was the first to charge at the Assassins.

But these assassins are not mediocre, each of them is extraordinary, and the soldiers in charge of the guards fell one after another, and Li Mo immediately became nervous: "Childe, a few adults, let's go in and hide, so as not to have an accident." ”

Zhang Shumo also knew that these three people had noble statuses, so naturally they couldn't let them have an accident, so he immediately ran to the inner courtyard with the three of them.

Just when the group returned to the inner courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief, two figures suddenly flew down from the courtyard wall, attacking Gongsun Zhi and Zhang Shumo respectively! Gongsun Rong was so frightened that he let out a frightened scream.

Seeing this, Gongsun Zhi immediately rushed towards one of the assassins. Li Mo also gritted his teeth and blocked in front of Zhang Shumo, facing another assassin.

But Li Mo is not good at martial arts, and he is negligent in practicing on weekdays, so his martial arts are no different from ordinary soldiers, how can he be the opponent of this assassin. I saw that the other party deceived Li Mo with a false shake, and directly kicked Li Mo away, and then stabbed Zhang Shumo with a sword.

Zhang Shumo was completely panicked, and instinctively took a few steps back, but he couldn't avoid the other party's long sword at all. At this moment, Gao Ning'er didn't know where she got the courage, and an arrow step blocked in front of Zhang Shumo's body, and opened her body to meet the sword that stabbed her!
