When Zhang Shumo heard Zhu Qing's words, there were ripples in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "I don't know how much grain Shopkeeper Zhu can support?" ”

As soon as Zhu Qing heard it, he knew that there was a drama in buying an official this time. Zhu Qing had also thought about buying an official position for his son before, so he spent a lot of money to buy off one of Liang Jia's subordinates, but Liang Jia just saw him hastily and never followed. Only then did Zhu Qing understand that the status of businessmen was low, and the people in the government had always looked down on businessmen, so Liang Jia naturally would not agree to buy an official.

This time, after Zhang Shumo led people to defeat Xu Liangcheng, Zhu Qing heard rumors that Zhang Shumo was powerful. According to his business sense for many years, Zhu Qing felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for his family, so he took the initiative to solve the difficulties for the newcomer Zhang Shumo and his party, and then took the line of Zhang Shumo.

Zhu Qing understood that his answer was likely to be related to the success or failure of the matter, so he gritted his teeth and said: "I can provide 10,000 people and horses with food and equipment below!" After finishing speaking, Zhu Qing was a little distressed, and the savings of several generations of the family were probably about to be emptied. But after thinking about it, the Zhu family was able to change from a businessman to a clan, and the mood unconsciously improved.

Zhang Shumo was also taken aback, and then smiled: "Okay! If Boss Zhu can provide 10,000 horses with food and equipment, I will let your son be the captain of these 10,000 horses! ”

Zhu Qing was overjoyed, the captain is a general, he didn't expect his son to be a general, this is really a glorious ancestor! Then Zhang Shumo and Zhu Qing discussed some details, Zhang Shumo's main concern was confidentiality, this matter must not be known to Su Yi, otherwise he would definitely be suspicious.

After the two agreed, Zhu Qing took Zhu Man to say goodbye, and before leaving, Zhu Man took out a cricket jar and gave it to Zhang Shumo. Zhang Shumo then remembered that Zhu Man was the Zhu Gongzi who fought with Yang Xue.

When he thought of Yang Xue, Zhang Shumo had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know when he had changed from a teenager who fought crickets every day to a son who had to think twice about every step, maybe this was fate.

Immediately, Zhang Shumo stopped sighing, and ordered Hu Kun to bring the map, and then looked at it carefully. Since someone has already contributed money and food, then you can pull up another man and be prepared! It's just that this group of people must not let Su Yi know, so he has to find a place to hide the soldiers.

After reading the map, Zhang Shumo was in a good mood. He told Hu Kun not to tell him about it, and then went to see Lou Zaiying.

Lou Zaiying had multiple fractures on her body and could only lie on the bed. Since they don't have a maid either, it is Lu Caiyun who takes care of her every day, after all, Lou Zaiying's injury has something to do with Lu Caiyun, and Lu Caiyun is regarded as atonement.

Seeing Zhang Shumo coming, Lu Caiyun left with interest. For some reason, Lu Caiyun is very afraid of seeing Zhang Shumo now, perhaps because he was worried that he was too mean before, and he was afraid that Zhang Shumo would settle accounts with him.

Zhang Shumo sat at the head of the bed and chatted with Lou Zaiying. After this incident, the relationship between the two quickly warmed up, and the two became talkative. The two chatted and talked about Lou Guang, and when Lou Guang was mentioned, Zhang Shumo remembered that he hadn't seen him for many days, so he asked Lou Zaiying.

Lou Zaiying shook his head: "I don't know very well. I heard Sister Caiyun say that Guang'er has been with Liu Tiantian during this time. ”

Zhang Shumo frowned: "Really?" Speaking of which, I haven't seen Liu Tiantian for a long time, so it seems that I have to ask carefully! ”

It wasn't until dinner time that Liu naturally took Lou Guang back home. Zhang Shumo directly stopped the two: "I said, what are you doing with Lou Guang?" ”

"I'm taking him with me?" Liu naturally said with an innocent face: "Is he following me?" I don't know which of his tendons is wrong, I have to learn swords from me, several times I directly shook him off, who knew that he was waiting at the door of my house, I had no choice but to start teaching him to learn swords! ”

Zhang Shumo looked at Lou Guang, Lou Guangmu nodded, and Zhang Shumo smiled: "I didn't expect you to have a helpless time!" But don't run out in the future, after tomorrow, I will let Brother Lu and Brother Hu go out to do some things, and I can only grieve you to be my bodyguard temporarily. ”

Liu naturally rolled his eyes: "I'm here to assist you in fighting the world, and you will let me be your bodyguard?" ”

Zhang Shumo also pursed his lips: "I haven't seen you assist me in the past few days, just see that you have been wandering all day long!" ”

Liu naturally threw a pamphlet directly to Zhang Shumo: "This is what I have done in the past few days, don't thank me, I can't afford it!" ”

Zhang Shumo opened it and saw that it was actually a detailed map of Xu Liangcheng, and it was almost finished.

"Why are you drawing this?" Zhang Shumo asked puzzled.

Liu naturally smiled: "It's not for you!" Last time I came with you, Xu Liang took me all the way blindly, and I was almost surrounded in the alley and couldn't get out. That's why I drew this map, and I'll definitely need it next time I run! ”

Zhang Shumo glanced at him angrily: "I thank you for your crow's mouth, I think you deliberately cursed me to lose the fight and run away, right?" ”

Who knew that Liu naturally laughed proudly: "I gave you a hanging, your eight characters don't match Xu Liangcheng, so I still draw a map and be prepared!" ”

The next day, Zhang Shumo asked Su Yi for a long leave on the grounds that his body had not yet healed, but Su Yi was very happy to approve it, and also told Zhang Shumo not to be in a hurry and slowly recuperate.

When he got home, Zhang Shumo ordered someone to invite Lu Li, for his subordinates, Zhang Shumo trusted Lu Li and Hu Xing and Hu Kun the most, it was not a small project to hide 10,000 horses, and Hu Xing was not there, so this matter could only be done by Lu Li and Hu Kun.

Yesterday, Su Yi also gave Lu Li an official position, and he was a tun chief, but in Lu Li's opinion, Su Yi was deliberately disgusting with him, so he refused. Zhang Shumo didn't stop him, after all, Lu Li is from the rivers and lakes, and there must be a lot of inconvenience in entering the army, so it is better to stay by his side and let him inquire about information.

Lu Li came to the door of Zhang Shumo's mansion, and before he could enter, he noticed something unusual. The place where Zhang Shumo lived was specially chosen by Lu Li, and at that time, in order to let Zhang Shumo recuperate, he chose a remote street.

But now there are a few more hawkers on the streets, and there is no one on the street, who do they come here to sell to? And these people don't shout, they just wander around not far from Zhangfu, and their purpose is self-evident.

Lu Li smiled and entered the mansion, and without waiting for Zhang Shumo to speak, Lu Li said first: "There are a few more hawkers on the street, and eighty percent of them were sent by Su Yi to spy on Gongzi!" ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "I expected, Su Yi is suspicious, I took a long vacation from him, and he must be worried about what is going on behind my back." It's just that he didn't expect his spies to come so soon, I'm afraid he had arranged it a long time ago! ”
