"Oh, sorry for the rude just now," Yingtao quickly woke up and apologized for his behavior.

"Does the owner of the village know my scholar?" Xun Zhi asked curiously.

"No, I just feel that this little brother has an extraordinary bearing, and he will definitely not be in the pool in the future, and it will inevitably lose his mind for a while" It's hard for Yingtao to talk serious nonsense, don't say that others don't believe it, even Lin Xuan feels hypocritical.

"Xun Gongzi, let's go straight to the point, right?" Yingtao still drew everyone's attention to the negotiations.

"Okay" Xun Zhi also knew his responsibility and didn't focus on this matter.

Just like yesterday's negotiation with Wen Chaozhuo, the entire hall was still empty, only Yingtao and Xun Zhi remained.

"It's really surprising that Xun Gongzi is the person of His Royal Highness the Prince?" For Xun Zhi, even Yingtao has long heard of it, originally he thought that Xun Zhi would enter the court directly, but he didn't want him to choose to become Zhaoming's doorman.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a pedantic celestial and has great revenge, and people with lofty ideals in the world are fascinated by it, Xun is a shallow learner, and it is a blessing in his life to be able to get his appreciation," mentioned Zhaoming, Xun Zhi's eyes flashed with admiration.

"And sharing worries for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also doing things for Daqi, if General Ying is willing, I can introduce you to you" Before coming, Xun Zhi also carefully investigated Yingtao, although he only had information about him after he went to Hutou Mountain, but he could also see this person's talent.

"Childe said and laughed, Ying is just a reckless man, where did he enter the eyes of His Royal Highness the Prince" Yingtao naturally did not believe Prince Zhaoming, as far as he knew, the imperial court originally wanted to send an envoy to come, but Zhaoming did not agree, and it was under his obstruction that Zhao'an Hutou Mountain became his business.

"Now present the prince's letter, and the general will see if he is satisfied" Xun Zhi took out the letter specially prepared by Zhaoming and handed it to Yingtao.

Yingtao stretched out his hands and respectfully took them and examined them carefully.

On the other hand, Lin Xuan, as a small scholar, naturally couldn't participate in such a discussion, he had his own tasks.

Finally, under the leadership of the guards, Lin Xuan walked through the elegantly arranged garden to the backyard, and the purpose of his trip was to give the gifts prepared by Xun Zhi to Yingtao's wife.

"Come in," a woman's voice finally came from the side room after the guards passed the pass.

As soon as Lin Xuan entered, he first saluted, "Under Lin Xuan, meet Mrs.", although he was young, he was also generous and decent, which was satisfying.

"It is worthy of being a person under Xun Gongzi, he is so smart at such a young age" Seeing Lin Xuan like this, Yan Hong also praised from the bottom of her heart.

"Madame is overrated, she is just a stupid scholar, how can you talk about the word smart, but Madame is really as gentle and amiable as the legend" Lin Xuan is indeed smart, and today he has just seen the hypocritical praise of Xun Zhi and others, so he can use it flexibly.

For such praise, Yan Hong happily accepted it along with those gifts.

"Young Master Lin, please take a seat," Yan Hong said.

Lin Xuan no longer sat politely on the side, and Yan Hong's maidservant immediately added a cup of tea for him.

"Childe specially asked me to say hello to Mrs. on his behalf, and prepared a thin gift, I don't know if Mrs. likes it" Obviously a child, but Lin Xuan's performance is very sophisticated.

"I also thanked Gongzi for his concern, these gifts are very much in line with my heart" Yan Hong's performance also showed her quality.

Lin Xuan was a little young, he didn't know what to say at this time?

"I've been living in the mountains for a long time, it's really boring, I don't know if Childe knows what interesting things are going on down the mountain?" Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Yan Hong suddenly thought of an idea.

Lin Xuan was about to speak, when a bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Is the general still satisfied?" Seeing that Yingtao finished reading the letter, Xun Zhi spoke again.

"The conditions proposed by the prince are also tempting, but Ying has his own concerns, I'm afraid he can't agree," Ying Tao looked at the letter and smiled slightly and refused.

"What concerns?" Xun Zhi also knew the conditions of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he naturally knew what was wrong, but he still asked knowingly.

"How can Xun Gongzi be well-read, and he doesn't know the truth of 'cunning rabbit dead lackey', His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants me to leave Hutou Mountain and be the guard of Ning County, but you and I both know that once I leave Hutou Mountain, my strength will be an ant to Daqi, and I will not have the power to protect myself at all" Yingtao looked at Xun Zhi with mockery on his face, is this Zhaoming's sincerity? It's ugly.

"You don't believe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Xun Zhi asked.

"It's not that I don't believe in His Royal Highness the Prince, but I don't believe in politics, Xun Gongzi, you and I are both smart people, so why pretend to be confused, even if the prince can not blame the past after going down the mountain, but there are too many things in this world that cost human life, although my Hutou Mountain is remote and poor, it is much better than the world where people eat people under the mountain," Yingtao directly expressed his attitude.

Xun Zhi also knew his bottom line from Yingtao's words.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also knows that the general may be difficult to leave his homeland, so there are other conditions, as long as you promise not to make trouble again, we can be safe and sound" Xun Zhi knew that Yingtao should also want to Taoguang now, after all, years of conflict have caused a lot of losses in Hutou Mountain.

"What Xun Gongzi said is true?" This condition is within the acceptable range of Yingtao.

"There is an order arrow as proof" Xun Zhi took out the token given by Zhaoming from his body.

Yingtao took the arrow and hesitated.

In fact, the story is also very simple, in a remote small country there is a woman who was robbed by the bandits to do the lady of the village, but fortunately the owner of the village there is very good to the woman, the two people raise the case and the husband and wife are enviable, but soon the government began to send troops to encircle and suppress the bandits, the owner of the village took advantage of the favorable terrain to retreat from the enemy many times, but since then there is no peaceful life to live, and finally one day the court ordered Zhao'an, the owner of the village agreed to the court's request for the brothers in the village. From then on, the two of them hid in the mountains and no longer paid attention to other things in the world, and the male cultivator and the female weaved a life like a fairy couple" Lin Xuan still decided to compile such a story, firstly, if Yan Hong's heart moved, it would definitely be beneficial to their recruitment this time, and secondly, even if Yan Hong disdained it, it had already been emphasized in advance, this was just a story.

Although Lin Xuan is smart, Yan Hong is not bad, she naturally knows the meaning of Lin Xuan's story, but she is indeed moved, for the sake of the "life of a male farmer and a female weaver fairy couple".

"But your Royal Highness the Crown Prince may not let us live like this," Yan Hong said with emotion.

"Although I don't know what kind of character His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is, I think such a powerful person naturally pays attention to reputation, as long as it is something he promised, then he will not regret it" Lin Xuan saw that Yan Hong was really moved, so he took the opportunity to add another fire.

Yan Hong hesitated when she heard this.

"Okay, I agreed," Yingtao finally made a decision, he looked at Xun Zhi and continued, "As long as you don't go up the mountain, then we will never disturb the surroundings."

"A word is a certainty", Xun Zhi got the promise he wanted.

"I heard that there is a treasure in Hutou Mountain, which is the "Mountains and Rivers Record" handed down by the ancestors, I wonder if the general can let him watch it next?" After a while, Xun Zhi said again.

"It's really unfortunate, just yesterday Benzhai's "Mountains and Rivers Record" was stolen, and I have asked people to look for a night without any news," Yingtao said sadly.

The corners of Xun Zhi's mouth twitched, it seems that this is the big thing that happened in the village before. But even if Yingtao's drama is enough, he won't believe this old fox. It seems that Yingtao has also reached some kind of agreement with Wen Chaozhuo, and Wen has already obtained the book yesterday, and he must act as soon as possible.

"Since that's the case, I'll retire first," Xun Zhi naturally couldn't sit still when he knew the news.

"Why don't Xun Gongzi stay for a few days and let me fulfill the friendship of the landlord?" Yingtao said to retain.

"No need, when you have time to disturb the general in the future" Xun Zhi is now thinking about how to intercept the Wen clan in his mind, and nothing else matters.

Seeing this, Yingtao smiled and said, "That son must come?" ”

"Definitely" Xun Zhi was still perfunctory.

After Xun Zhi and the others left, Li Jie appeared by Yingtao's side.

"You go check it out for me," Yingtao instructed as he watched the two of them leave.

"Xun Zhi?" Li Jie asked.

"No, it's the scholar next to him" Yingtao didn't believe in coincidences, he wanted to check the sudden appearance of the scholar.
