Wei Shan and Qiao Hai heard Ji Wen's words, and got up tremblingly and looked at Liu Tiantian.

Zhang Shumo raised his head slightly and wanted to glance at the two, but he just happened to meet Wei Shan's gaze, so frightened that he quickly lowered his head, afraid of being discovered by the two.

The room was suddenly silent, and only three nervous hearts were beating violently. Time seemed to stand still, and Zhang Shumo anxiously waited for the final result.

"Lord Qiyu, Zhang Shumo was just a small discussion when he worked with the villain, and this Taoist was not by his side, so the villain was also the first time to see the Taoist!" Wei Shan said respectfully, but beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

Qiao Hai also hurriedly agreed: "That's right, the villain hasn't seen the Taoist before." ”

Liu Tiantian and Hu Kun breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, thinking that these two were not familiar with Zhang Shumo, and they would not recognize them after a slight change. But Zhang Shumo knew in his heart that Wei Shan should have recognized himself at that glance just now, but he didn't say it.

Ji Wen stood up with a smile: "It seems that I was reckless, I thought you knew each other, so I specially invited Liu Guoshi to come over and want to catch up with the past, but I didn't expect you to know each other." After speaking, Ji Wen couldn't help but shake his head.

Liu naturally saw that Ji Wen was a little regretful, but he still smiled and said, "It's okay, don't we know each other with the help of the prince?" The prince attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and is very bold, I believe that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future, and we can deepen our understanding at that time! ”

Ji Wen nodded: "That's right, but I forgot about the cooperation if you didn't talk about it." I'm afraid that the matter of the three assassins will not be able to find out a result for a while, if Liu Guoshi keeps investigating, I am afraid that he will miss the major matter between this king and your son-in-law, it is better for the national teacher to set off as soon as possible, and the assassin matter will be thoroughly investigated by this king! ”

Liu was naturally relieved: "Since the prince has commanded, how dare the poor Dao not obey, we will set off immediately and convey the prince's meaning to my son-in-law." ”

"Then there is Lao Guoshi. This king will write all his thoughts in the letter, and ask Hao Yang to follow the national teacher back and hand over the letter to Zhang Gongzi, and don't forget to say a few more beautiful words when the national teacher comes! ”

Liu naturally also hurriedly agreed: "That's nature, the poor road will definitely not live up to the things entrusted by the prince!" ”

After speaking, Liu Tiantian and the others retreated to pack their things.

After a few people left, Ji Wen deliberately came to Yang Xue's house and asked Yang Xue to wait for him to change into civilian clothes: "Concubine Ai, Liu Guoshi and they will leave later, you help this king change into civilian clothes, and this king will send them off." ”

Yang Xue hurriedly took the maid to help Ji Wen change his clothes, but she was thinking about how to find a reason to go with Ji Wen so that she could see Zhang Shumo again.

Ji Wen on the side quietly observed Yang Xue's expression, wanting to see if she was abnormal.

Yang Xue thought hard for a long time and didn't come up with a suitable reason, so she wanted to be coquettish and let Ji Wen take her. As soon as she raised her head, her eyes met Ji Wen's gaze, and Yang Xue instantly became alert when she looked at Ji Wen with her gaze. Someone said before that Yang Xue had also heard of Liu Nature's scholar like Zhang Shumo, and Ji Wen was probably testing himself!

Thinking of this, Yang Xue said to Ji Wen: "The king will inevitably attach too much importance to them if he goes in person, and it seems that the concubines can just let them leave on their own." ”

Ji Wen was very satisfied with Yang Xue's reaction, which also dispelled the last doubt in his heart, so he said happily: "This king has given them enough face, Zhang Shumo will cooperate with us, and I still expect him to deal with Zhou Gang's old thing for this king!" ”

Half an hour later, Hao Yang followed Liu Tiantian and the three of them to the east gate of Xiuwuzhi with a song of soldiers, and Ji Wen personally came to see them off. After Liu naturally thanked him repeatedly, everyone finally left Xiu Wuzhi!

After half a day of running, the group finally arrived at the Big Tea Castle in the evening. Since it was late, Liu naturally asked Hao Yang to take his people to be stationed outside the city, and then introduce him to Zhang Shumo the next day. Hao Yang nodded, after all, it was in someone's place, and Hao Yang didn't dare to object.

Throwing off the burden of Hao Yang, the three of them hurried back to the city, and the backbone of the city heard that Zhang Shumo was back, and rushed to the yamen to pick up Zhang Shumo.

Zhang Shumo didn't greet everyone either, and directly told everyone what happened in Xiu Wuzhi, in order not to worry everyone, Zhang Shumo deliberately hid the things that were almost discovered. Then he told everyone that the envoys of Jingguo were outside the city, and asked everyone to quickly find a suitable person to pretend to be themselves.

Due to Zhang Shumo's young age, most of the people in the city were excluded, and in the end, Zhang Shumo decided to let Niu Cilai pretend to be himself to see Hao Yang.

On the second day, Liu naturally went to greet Hao Yang, but Niu Ci sat in the yamen. Zhang Shumo patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I'll hide behind the screen later, you can just act when you see the opportunity!" ”

Niu Ci nodded and wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead.

After a while, Liu naturally took Hao Yang to see "Zhang Shumo", Niu Ci sat on the chair and his legs shook unconsciously, but fortunately, Hao Yang cared about etiquette very much, and he lowered his head the whole speech, and did not find Niu Ci's embarrassment.

sent Hao Yang away, and Zhang Shumo immediately came out to take the letter. When I opened it, the content in the letter was basically the same as what Yang Xue said, they all wanted Zhang Shumo to get rid of Zhou Gang, and the only difference was that Ji Wen promised less grain and grass.

Zhang Shumo no longer cares about the problem of food and grass at this time, he cares more about the gap between Ji Wen and Zhou Gang, maybe the gap between them is the turning point of this war!

So Zhang Shumo quickly wrote a reply letter, telling Ji Wen that he agreed to his request, as long as he saw the weight of grain and grass, he would immediately give Zhou Gang's head! Then he asked Niu Ci to send the letter to Hao Yang's camp, and he took Liu Tiantian to the prison.

In the prison, Zhou Gang was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and Su Yi on the side was lying on the grass with little energy. Seeing Zhang Shumo coming, Su Yiluo jumped up and hurriedly asked, "Can you let us go?" ”

Zhou Gang also looked at Zhang Shumo, looking forward to his answer.

Zhang Shumo smiled, took out the letter that Ji Wen wrote to himself and stuffed it into Zhou Gang's hand: "This is Ji Wen's letter to me, or Zhou Guoshi read it himself!" ”

Seeing Zhang Shumo's expression, Zhou Gang took out the letter suspiciously and read it, and Su Yi also hurried up.

Looking at it, Zhou Gang suddenly jumped up and tore up the letter in his hand: "Damn Ji Wen, I, Zhou Gang, have died for their Ji family, and now they want to kill me, if I can get out alive, I will definitely break him into pieces!" ”

Liu naturally frowned when he saw Zhou Gang's performance, Zhou Gang is also a cultivator, and at his level, his grasp of the heart should have been perfect, how could he be so violent? Could it be that he is acting?

Zhang Shumo also narrowed his eyes, thinking in his heart: Zhou Gang's anger was predictable, but it was an accident that he tore up the letter in a fit of anger. In this way, he has no evidence to prove that Ji Wen is going to kill him, and I don't know if Zhou Gang did it unintentionally or deliberately?
