Zhang Shumo thought about what he wanted to say on the way to the General's Mansion, so he hurriedly said to Gao Yan and his wife: "Back to the general's words, I encountered some tricky things in the next place, and I want the general to guide me. ”

Gao Yan frowned when he heard this: "What tricky things have you encountered again?" ”

Zhang Shumo looked at Gongsun Ningyan, and then pretended to be open and said to the two: "Today, Fan Xiang summoned me, and said that he would hand over the assassin of the assassination case in the post house to me!" ”

Gao Yan's eyebrows were completely twisted together after listening. After he told Zhang Shumo's inference to Fan Yao, Fan Yao didn't tell him about the progress of this matter, what is his intention to ask Zhang Shumo to host this matter now?

Gongsun Ningyan on the side didn't know what to do, so he said: "Fan Xiang is also true, how can Zhang Shumo say that he is also a foreign minister, how can he hand over the case to the foreign minister to host?" ”

Gao Yan felt that things were not so simple, Fan Yao's style of acting Gao Yan knew best, the more he acted quietly, the more it showed that he was holding back something bad. Although Zhang Shumo and Gongsun Rong have some bad scandals now, in the eyes of others, this Zhang Shumo will become the son-in-law of the General's Mansion sooner or later, so he can't be at the mercy of Fan Yao, right?

So Gao Yan asked Zhang Shumo, "Then you are here now to ask me how to deal with these assassins?" ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head at first, and then nodded quickly, which confused Gao Yan and his wife.

Gongsun Ningyan couldn't help but say, "Don't panic first, tell us what you mean first!" ”

Zhang Shumo nodded, and then said, "Actually, Fan Xiang has already told me how to deal with the assassins, and he just asked me to come forward to host. ”

Gao Yan and his wife exchanged glances, and then Gao Yan asked, "In that case, why are you still asking me?" ”

Zhang Shumo licked his lips and made a restrained look, making people look like they didn't dare to say anything.

Gongsun Ningyan was anxious, and when she saw Zhang Shumo's performance, she immediately said: "If you have anything to say, you can say it directly, there are no outsiders here, you can rest assured!" ”

Zhang Shumo took a deep breath and said to the two: "I feel that Fan Xiang is tempting the next!" ”

"Temptation? Where does this begin? ”

Fan Xiang not only talked about the assassination of the post house, but he also deliberately brought up Princess Rong to beat him. He also said that let Zai Xia prove to him his determination to stay in Yan Kingdom! Zhang Shumo said respectfully.

When Gao Yan and his wife heard this, they fell silent. Fan Yao's meaning couldn't be clearer, and only when Zhang Shumo handled the assassination case of the post house properly could Fan Yao's support be obtained.

So Gao Yan asked Zhang Shumo, "What did Fan Xiang ask you to do with the assassins?" ”

"Fan Xiangrang used Xu Xuan to seduce another assassin, and if he couldn't lure out another assassin, he would kill Xu Xuan!"

Gao Yan and his wife looked at Zhang Shumo after listening: "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "If you kill Xu Xuan, wouldn't it make Yan Guo and Zheng Guo make enemies, although Yan Guo has planned to negotiate peace with Huai Guo, but this does not mean that Zheng Guo is an enemy." Once Xu Xuan is killed, there will be no room for maneuver. And there must be a mastermind behind Xu Xuan, this mastermind must have some agreement with Zheng Guo, once the assassin is dead, the mastermind behind the tomb will be in an embarrassing situation. ”

Gongsun Ningyan cried out after hearing this: "I can understand what you said earlier, but what does it mean to say later?" The mastermind behind this scene fornicated with foreign countries, and it was already merciful to fail to bring him to justice, so why should he care about his situation? ”

Zhang Shumo looked at the two of them: "I don't dare to say it!" ”

Gao Yan knocked on the table: "But it's okay to say!" ”

Zhang Shumo came to the two of them at this time, and said in a low voice: "I suspect that the chief envoy behind the tomb is the Second Highness!" ”

Gao Yan knew Zhang Shumo's inference, so he was not surprised, so he asked directly: "Have you ever sat down?" ”

Zhang Shumo shook his head: "Although there is no evidence, it can basically be determined that it was done by His Royal Highness, and Fan Xiang also agreed with his speculation." ”

"So you don't want to embarrass dick?" Gongsun Ningyan asked.

Zhang Shumo hurriedly nodded: "Although His Royal Highness wants to assassinate Zaixia, it is understandable in Xia, after all, most of the people in Yan Country are still the main battle, as long as I die, there will be no possibility of peace between the two countries." Moreover, the post house assassination case, from planning to implementation, can be said to be seamless, if it were not for Xu Xuan's arrogance, it would be impossible to find out the clue in the future. It is really a blessing for Yan Guo that His Royal Highness can have such means. If Zheng Guo is angered by this matter, if they announce the affair between the Second Highness and the public, the Second Highness's reputation will be ruined, and there is no possibility of becoming the crown prince of Yan State, which is a great loss for Yan State! ”

Gao Yan and Gongsun Ning Yan showed appreciation on their faces when they heard this, but they didn't expect Zhang Shumo to think about Yan Guo and not pursue the assassination of the second child, which was really gratifying.

So Gao Yan patted Zhang Shumo's shoulder: "I'm very happy that you can think so, since that's the case, if you don't kill Xu Xuan, I'll say it to Fan Xiang!" ”

Zhang Shumo immediately said in embarrassment: "But if I let Fan Xiang know that I asked the general for help, will I not be able to pass Fan Xiang's test?" ”

"And what do you want?"

"I want to follow Fan Yao's plan first, and if I can attract another assassin, then I will hand over the two assassins to Fan Xiang together. If I can't lure out the assassins, I want to secretly let Xu Xuan go! I wonder what the general and his wife think? ”

"Huh? Secretly let Xu Xuan go? Wouldn't that be too cheap for him? When Gongsun Ningyan heard this, she immediately took the case, she looked at Zhang Shumo and said: "I know that you are worried about my country and Zheng Guo's bad relations, although you are a good heart, but you are too worried!" Since Your Majesty is willing to negotiate peace with you, it means that he is ready to be an enemy of Zheng Guo, let alone a small assassin, even if he is the prince and minister of Zheng Guo, he can't let him go back! ”

Gao Yan also nodded heavily: "That's right!" Your Majesty will not blame you for killing the Zheng Guo Assassin. But this Fan Yao too, he actually came up with this method to test you, you don't have to care about his temptation, if you can't attract another assassin, just return Xu Yao to Fan Yao, and I'll talk to Fan Yao when the time comes! ”

Zhang Shumo let out a sigh of relief when he heard this: "In this way, I will thank the general and Mrs. first!" ”。

Gongsun Ningyan waved his hand: "Thank you, thank you?" Just be kind to Ning'er in the future! But you're really, in order to say this, you don't even bring a single entourage, what if you encounter assassination along the way? ”

Zhang Shumo smiled awkwardly: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to bring it, it's just that when I discussed this matter with the people of the mission, the people of the mission were willing to act according to Fan Xiang's plan, and asked me to leave His Royal Highness alone." But I wasn't at ease, so I sneaked out to discuss with the two of you. ”
