Chapter 263: First Step

"Tuk Tuk!" twice, Zhang Jishan knocked on the courtyard door of a military general's house.

After a while, a wrestler opened the door of the courtyard that was as high as one zhang, looked at the unfamiliar faces of Zhang Jishan and the two, and wondered: "Who are you two?"

Zhang Jishan smiled and arched his hand and said, "Hehe, we are the disciples of the Thirteen Princes, and we have come to visit General Hong on the order of the Thirteen Princes!"

"Oh, you two, wait here for a moment, and I'll go back to the general. The wrestler was expressionless, nodded coldly, and closed the one-foot high courtyard door.

After a while, the wrestler opened the courtyard door again, stretched out a hand and asked, "Come with me, two of you!"

"Hehe, I'm tired of this wrestler leading the way!" Zhang Jishan smiled and arched his hand gently.

However, the wrestler still replied coldly: "It's okay, it's just my subordinate's job!"

Looking at Zhang Jishan, who had a hot face and a cold ass for a while, Du Chuanyun was a little surprised, it stands to reason that this is only Zhang Jishan, who is only in his thirties, no matter how big his heart is, he is not so big as not to take this matter to heart! He is the brother of the thirteenth prince, and he will be unhappy when he is treated like this by a subordinate!

But there was not the slightest unhappiness on Zhang Jishan's face, as if this wrestler was like air. Even he, a man who has lived for three or four hundred years, can't do this!

Walking through the quiet path, Zhang Jishan and the two came to the study under the leadership of Nalux.

"Two, please come in!" After speaking, the wrestler didn't even look at Zhang Jishan and the others, and walked back.

"Hehe~" Seeing this, Zhang Jishan smiled secretly, no wonder Du Chuanyun and others came to woo him to no avail. Even a subordinate is so arrogant, which shows the temperament of this master.

knocked on the door, and from the room came a "please come in" that seemed to be able to deter the hosts. Zhang Jishan and the two looked at each other and smiled, then pushed open the door and walked in.

In the room, a middle-aged man dressed as a scholar sat on a rattan chair and quietly read the military book. When Zhang Jishan and the others walked in, they sat down softly, and put Zhang Jishan and the others aside.

Seeing this, Zhang Jishan shrugged his shoulders at Du Chuanyun, walked to the chair on the side of the study and sat down.

After a long time, after General Na Hong gently closed the book of the art of war in his hand, he looked at the two of them and said, "You were sent by the Thirteen Princes to win me over? If so, then let's go!"

"Hehe, General Hong is worthy of being a man who marches and fights, he is really quick to speak!" Zhang Jishan slowly poured a cup of tea and tasted it slowly. "Tsk, but such an elegant tea needs to be tasted carefully!"

"Hehe, it's just some tribute tea. Looking at Zhang Jishan, who had a fine aftertaste, General Hong smiled lightly. He naturally heard Zhang Jishan's sarcasm about him. To put it bluntly, you are a dumbfounded, elegant tea? You are a rough person, what kind of taste can you taste?

"Hehe, since General Hong doesn't welcome us, then, Brother Du, let's go!" Zhang Jishan curled the corners of his mouth, got up, and said to Du Chuanyun, who had not had time to drink a cup of tea beside him.

"Eh~" Seeing this, Du Chuanyun was shocked, so he left like this? In his opinion, why did Zhang Jishan have to fight with this General Hong before leaving.

After stepping out of the door of the study with one foot, the corners of Zhang Jishan's mouth curled, but he did not look back and said: "Hehe, General Hong, although choosing neutrality is a good thing, it is also a bad thing! You can be reused in Ji Chang's hands, but once any prince ascends the throne, you neutral civil and military officials will inevitably be excluded from the side! Therefore, choosing to occupy the side is the most correct choice! However, don't stand on the wrong side, no one can guarantee that you are the ultimate winner before the results come out!"

"Hehe, thank you for the reminder!" General Hong smiled lightly, not taking Zhang Jishan's kind reminder to heart.

After leaving General Hong's mansion, Du Chuanyun was full of suspicions and wanted to guide Zhang Jishan to the next official's house. However, he saw Zhang Jishan smiling and shaking his head: "Hehe, Brother Du, we don't have to go to the next place!"

"Huh?" Du Chuanyun was stunned, very puzzled. It was said that it was you who came to visit those neutral civil and military officials, but you just visited one person, and you left, which is also ~~~

The corners of Zhang Jishan's mouth, who saw Du Chuanyun's thoughts, curled up, and he smiled calmly: "Hehe, Brother Du, are you very curious, why didn't I have too much trouble with General Hong?

Du Chuanyun nodded lightly and said curiously: "Yes, although General Hong is unwilling alone, it doesn't mean that other officials are also unwilling!"

"Hehe, it's not that I don't want to visit, it's that we were taken by others! Before we visited General Hong, someone else visited him before us!" Zhang Jishan replied with a calm smile.

"Huh, someone visited General Hong before us?"

Zhang Jishan nodded and said, "Yes! And according to the information you provided, I can be sure that this person is not Brother Ji and his three elder brothers who are competing for the throne with him, but other princes!"

"Other princes?" Hearing this, Du Chuanyun was even more surprised and puzzled. "Ji Chang's thirteen sons, it has now been determined that only the thirteen princes and his three elder brothers will participate in the battle for the throne. As for the other princes, they have all been thoroughly investigated by us, and they have no ability to compete with the four of the thirteen princes at all!"

"Hehe, yes, they really don't have the ability to compete with the four brothers Ji. But now it was different, the prince who came to visit General Hong not only won over General Hong, but they seemed to have a very happy conversation. Zhang Jishan smiled and nodded and explained. "As soon as we entered General Hong's study, I smelled a tempting hint of rouge. ”

"At first, I thought it was General Hong's wife or concubine who had entered the study. However, when I saw the faint lip grease on the rim of the teacup I was using, I dismissed the idea. It's just that the lip balm is made of red and blue spirit flowers, and the characteristic of red and blue spirit flowers is that the color does not disappear for a long time. ”

"According to your information, the rouge lipstick that General Hong's wife and concubine usually use are all tribute, and none of the tributes are made of red and blue spirit flowers! ”

"So that's the case!" After listening to Zhang Jishan's explanation, Du Chuanyun suddenly realized, but at the same time, he admired Zhang Jishan very much!

What he didn't expect was that Zhang Jishan wrote down all the information provided by himself and others, whether important or unimportant. No wonder Ji Hong would put a hundred hearts and leave everything to Zhang Jishan to take care of. Who is not at ease with such a meticulous and resourceful person?

seemed to see what Du Chuanyun was thinking at the moment, so the corners of Zhang Jishan's mouth curled: "Hehe, Brother Du, sometimes, information is not important or unimportant. It's like on the battlefield, sometimes, some insignificant information from spies can determine the outcome of a war!"

"Well, thank you Brother Zhang for your advice. Hearing this, Du Chuanyun nodded lightly. When he saw the satisfied smile in Zhang Jishan's eyes, he had goosebumps all over his body for a while. I secretly thought that this Zhang Jishan would not have that kind of fetish!

But in fact, Zhang Jishan did not mean that. He learned from Mo Xiaoqiu that Ji Hong valued Du Chuanyun very much. He once said that if he could ascend the throne, he would let Du Chuanyun be his prime minister.

Although Zhang Jishan has not seen any shining points from Du Chuanyun's body in the past few days, he knows that Ji Hong's vision of people has always been very accurate.

When he was on thousands of islands, judging from the fact that he had not seen Zhang Jishan in person, he wanted to make friends with Zhang Jishan, his vision was indeed very unique.

Zhang Jishan shook his head with a smile and said, "Hehe, where, let's go, let's see how they are doing in Shanghai!"

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two months will come to an end. In the past two months, they have attracted a lot of talented people. For a while, Ji Hong's disciples also grew to the point where he could compete with the Eighth Emperor Prince!

At the same time, also on this day, Ji Hong walked out of his study. When he saw Zhang Jishan discussing things with the dozens of doormen, Ji Hong secretly smiled bitterly.

"Thirteen princes!" When he saw Ji Hong, who was smiling and exuding the breath of an emperor, Du Chuanyun and the other fifteen, the doorman that Ji Hong had collected got up and bowed.

And what about those capable people who have become Ji Hongmen's guests in the past two months? They just gave a faint salute, and they were not as solemn as Du Chuanyun and them.

"Hehe, no need to be polite!" Ji Hong smiled and waved his hand, he obviously felt the change in Du Chuanyun's fifteen people.

It can also be seen from the side that Zhang Jishan played a big role in their deterrence that day. For a while, Ji Hong was even more grateful to Zhang Jishan, and at the same time, he also felt even more sorry for Zhang Jishan.

When he heard Zhang Jishan's divine thoughts, the corners of Ji Hong's mouth curled, and he arched his hand at those capable people and said: "Please wait a while, I have something to discuss with Brother Zhang first, and the wine and food will be prepared immediately, and Ji Hong will match you with another one at that time." ”

"Hehe, where, the thirteenth prince, you go and get busy, we don't matter. ”

In the back garden, by the one-yuan heavy water pool, after listening to Ji Hong's choice, when he saw Ji Hong's expression that he couldn't help himself, Zhang Jishan smiled heartily and said: "Hahaha! This is the Brother Ji I know! Brother Ji, don't think that I have any burden! I have already said, no matter what your final choice is, Brother Ji, I will help you to the end!"

"Hey~If I can do that~~~"

However, before Ji Hong's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhang Jishan with a smile: "Hehe, Brother Ji, let's make good preparations next! In addition to your second brother, fifth brother, and starling brother, now you have one more competitor!"

"Who?" Hearing this, Ji Hong was a little surprised, which prince could have the power to compete with his four princes in just two months?

"Your eldest brother, that Ji Zhuofan who was abolished as the crown prince because he was drunk and singing!"
