(Ask for a subscription and ask for a commuter pass.) ）

Shen Cong and Guo Shifeng had been waiting for a long time, Shen Cong was even more anxious, and when he saw Xu Ji, he rushed forward with an arrow, "What?" ”

"Gifts and words have been delivered."

"What did Yu Shizi say?"

"Didn't say anything." Xu Ji concealed Zhang Shiyu's evaluation of Shen Cong.

Shen Cong was very disappointed, but not to the point of despair, "For such an important matter, the prince will not ask someone to bring the words, it must be ......"

Shen Cong ran out of the living room and went back to his residence to wait for news.

"Isn't the situation good?" Guo Shifeng saw that Xu Ji's expression was wrong.

Xu Ji had already promised Zhang Shiyu that he would keep it secret, and instead asked, "Is there any news from Meng Jin?" ”

"There are only military reports from the imperial court, all of which are great victories, and I don't know how many people in the descending army are enough to slaughter the officers and soldiers."

Such news at least shows that the Descending Army still exists, Xu Ji was a little relieved, sat opposite Guo Shifeng, poured himself a cup of tea, and drank it silently, until two cups of tea before he spoke: "The heroes are crowned, who does Brother Guo think will win the world?" ”

"How could my brother ask about such a thing?"

"The road ahead is boundless, and I sincerely ask."

Guo Shifeng has always wavered, and Xu Ji really has no one to ask, so he will open his mouth to him.

Guo Shifeng smiled, "It's said that it's a group of heroes, but in fact, there are only a few people, I can order one casually, and if it is realized in the future, the younger brother will think that I am like a god, and if it is not realized, you will not take it to heart." But to tell the truth, at the moment, even the gods can't predict this situation, not only you and me, but everyone in the world is participating in a big gamble, I don't know how many people will lose all their money, or even lose their lives, and how many people will make a profit without capital, and climb to the sky in one step. ”

"Brother Guo is telling the truth."

"I have no need to lie to you. Now is the time of turbulence and daily changes, ups and downs, some people will not get used to it, but some people are like fish in water, jumping up and down, very happy. Guo Shifeng smiled and pointed at himself.

Xu Ji suddenly felt comfortable in his heart, and arched his hand: "Thank you Brother Guo for your enlightenment." ”

There are some things that Xu Ji can't say, Guo Shifeng didn't force him to ask, got up and said: "Brother Ji rest, we may have to take different paths next, I don't know when we will meet again." ”

Guo Shifeng wanted to carry out the assassination plan, but Xu Ji disagreed with it in his heart, but he did not object, and he did not intend to reveal it to Zhang Shiyu.

"The turmoil is sinister, Brother Guo be careful."

Not long after Guo Shifeng left, Wang Dian from Jiangdong came to visit, he came to say goodbye, "Jizhou refuses to borrow troops, I have been delayed here for too long, let's go back to Wuzhou, it is better to ask for others than for myself, I will leave tomorrow." ”

Xu Ji always had a feeling for Wu's hometown, and said: "What is the situation in Jiangdong? If Brother Wang can tell the truth, maybe I can come up with some ideas. ”

Xu Ji was too young, and when he heard his words, Wang Dian smiled, "Thank you, Jiangdong...... It's complicated, if Xu Gongzi is willing to go in person, with your background, you may be able to help, if it's just an idea - I don't mean to despise Xu Gongzi, but we really don't lack ideas, only soldiers. ”

Although he was refused, Xu Ji refused to give up, and said directly: "Why didn't the Seven Clans avenge King Guangling?" ”

Wang Dian was stunned for a moment, and then showed a hint of displeasure, "The Seven Clans are the relics of the Wu Kingdom, and they take Kuang's restoration of their homeland as their own responsibility, and they have been oppressed by King Guangling for a long time, why do they want to avenge him?" ”

"Most of the Jiangdong generals are the old department of the king of Guangling, and if they make peace, they can quickly pacify Wuzhou, in order to map the Central Plains, and if they are not in harmony, they will have endless infighting, even if they recover their homeland after a few years, they will not have a chance to win the world."

Wang Dian smiled and shook his head, "Does Gongzi Xu think that no one among the Seven Clans thinks of this layer?" No, someone has already made a suggestion, but it's just ...... It can't be implemented, and when it comes to peace, the seven clans will quarrel endlessly. In short, this plan is not appropriate, but thank you Xu Gongzi for your concern. ”

The Seven Clans of Jiangdong obviously lacked a powerful person, Xu Ji had nothing to persuade, and arched his hand: "If, I mean if, there is a general surnamed Ning who will lead troops to Jiangdong in the future, and I hope that Brother Wang will persuade the Seven Clans to accept this person, he is also from Jiangdong, and his family moved to Qinzhou many years ago." ”

"The Descendants?"

Xu Ji nodded.

Ning Baoguan was famous among the Descending Army, but not many outsiders knew about him, Wang Dian snorted, and didn't pay much attention to it, "I'll pay attention." ”

If Ning Baoguan dies Meng Jin, it will be forgotten, if he can really lead his troops across the river, even if there are only 1,000 people under his command, the seven clans of Jiangdong are afraid that they are not opponents.

Xu Ji could only persuade him to go this step and send Wang Yun to the gate.

Someone on the street was running, shouting, "The Descendant Army has surrendered!" The officers and soldiers went north, but the Jinyang soldiers couldn't support it and were about to collapse......"

I don't know where the news of this person came from, Wang Dian's face changed, "Don't wait for tomorrow, I'll leave later, does Xu Gongzi really not want to go to Jiangdong?" ”

"It's not the time yet, I have something to do here."

Wang Dian took his leave.

There is more than one person who wants to leave Yecheng, Xu Ji stood at the gate, seeing that there were more and more people on the street, calling friends, calling his entourage, leading the horse to the outside of the workshop, bribing Master Huang, who was guarding the workshop, to leave as soon as possible at any cost.

Xu Ji turned around and saw that the courtyard was full of people, and he brought nearly a hundred soldiers from Mengjin to look at him in panic and look out the door.

"The news from the imperial court is not true...... "Xu Ji has to say something."

"But the defeat of the Descendant Army is always real, what to do? Why are we still here? Let's just divide the things and disperse, Xu Gongzi will take the big head, and we will divide the entanglement. ”

"Wait three more days, I don't want a penny, I will give you all the money." Xu Ji could only come up with this idea.

The soldiers stabilized a little, and after making sure that they had only waited for three days, they slowly dispersed.

Tan's useless plan should be feasible, and Xu Ji is looking forward to a turnaround on Meng Jin's side.

Before dark, Nam Chung Fang was half empty.

Early the next morning, Xu Ji was surprised to learn that Guo Shifeng and Shen Cong had also left, and without saying goodbye, they went straight to the city, and the original plan to assassinate the imperial envoy ended in nothing.

Although the imperial court military newspaper is not very credible, it is a news channel after all, and if you want to take a look at the manuscript of the military newspaper, you can only spend money to sell Master Huang.

When the envoys from all parties left Yecheng in advance, Master Huang had already made a lot of money, and his appetite increased a lot, and he took a small package of gifts from Xu Ji's hand, but did not smile as usual, but opened it in person to check it, and after confirming that it was full of valuable jewelry, he nodded with a smile and handed over a few transcripts.

The money was not well spent, although the manuscript was new, but there was no new content, and it was still a great victory for the officers and soldiers, and a number of enemies were killed.

Master Huang also knew that the manuscript was useless, so he sent a few words of advice: "Master Xu, hurry up and find a way out for yourself, once the situation in Jizhou is stable, Jizhou will also have to show loyalty to the imperial court, and when the time comes, ...... Hehe, Xu Gongzi still has a capital crime on his back. ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Xu Ji walked not far away, and turned back, "I'll want to go out of the city later." ”

"Still going to see General Iron Eyebrow? Okay, how many people? ”

"I'm the only one, going out of the city through the east gate."

"East Gate? That's not the way to the barracks...... Forget it, I don't talk much, how many things does Xu Gongzi have to bring? Master Huang thought that Xu Ji was going to escape.

"One man, one horse, nothing else."

"In two quarters of an hour, Xu Gongzi will be able to leave the city."

Xu Ji really just went out of the city by one person and one horse, at the gate of the city, he inquired about the location of Siguo Valley, and rode slowly to it, unable to explain why he had to meet a famous man he never knew at this time.

He needed to get away from Yecheng for a while.

After a few miles, Xu Ji turned his head and looked back, his eyes still confused.

There was a depression outside the city, and the people had already taken refuge in the city, and only a very small number of people took advantage of the rebellion to come out to pack up their things and hide when they saw people.

The ten-mile road is not too far, but Xu Ji did not find a location until the afternoon.

Thinking about the valley is relatively hidden, Xu Ji almost missed, to the outside of the valley, looking at Xiao Xiao Luomu, he didn't want to go in, the so-called while the excitement came, the failure to go, he did not recognize this celebrity, and no one recommended him, rashly visited, he would be rejected.

During the patrol, a team of more than ten people walked out of the valley, and the first one was actually Lou Ji.

The two brothers met here, they were very surprised, Lou Ji handed the reins to the entourage, greeted him and smiled: "What a coincidence, Xu Gongzi has just arrived?" ”

"Yes." Xu Ji dismounted and returned the salute.

Lou Ji approached, "Do you recognize Mr. Fan?" ”

Xu Ji shook his head, "I have never met, I heard that Mr. Fan lives here, so I came to visit." ”

"Hehe, Xu Gongzi is afraid that he doesn't know how difficult it is to meet Mr. Fan, right? The old gentleman was very old and sick, and it was easy not to see the guests, so I asked for letters from two Mr. Fan's disciples in the eastern capital, so that I could enter the valley, and only talked for half an hour, and saw that Mr. Fan was really weak, so I had to leave. ”

"Ah, I'm just here to see, I don't necessarily have to see Mr. Fan himself."

Lou Ji smiled: "If you had told me yesterday, we could have come together today." Why don't I go in and introduce you again, maybe ......"

"No, I really just came over and had a look."

Lou Ji snorted, motioned to his entourage to lead the horses first, and then said: "We didn't know each other very well before, but no matter what, you and I are the sons of the general, so there is a little bit of brotherhood." So I might as well make it clear that it was the general who wanted you to return to the Lou family, and I and the other brothers didn't think so. Whether the court wins or loses in the battle of Mengjin, it will not affect the situation in Jizhou, and the general trend of the world will be determined, and there will be results in one or two years. I really can't see what role Xu Gongzi can play in this. The general's love for his son is your only chance. ”

"There is Lao Zhizhi."

"The ranking is eight places behind, in fact, I am only a few months younger than you, you dare to stab, let me admire, but that is the courage of the horseman, you can move the emperor, you can't move the world."

Lou Ji was still unsatisfied, and wanted to say a few more words, when a teenage boy walked out of the valley and asked unceremoniously, "Why haven't you left yet?" ”

Lou Ji said with a smile: "I met an old man, say a few words here, and let's go." With that, he said goodbye to Xu Ji and stepped to follow his followers.

The boy looked at Xu Ji, "Who are you?" ”

"In Xia Xuji, I came to meet Mr. Fan."

The boy waved his hand, "Sir will not see any more visitors today." ”

Xu Ji didn't force it, turned his head and saw Lou Ji looking over from afar, he didn't want to go with him, so he stood still and didn't move.

"What else do you want to do? If the master doesn't want to see him, you can go. The boy said again.

"Look at the scenery."

"The flowers and trees have withered, and there is no scenery at this time."

"The sky is high and the clouds are far away, and the branches are sparse, which is exactly the scenery I like."

"Hehe, it's not a good thing to have the meaning of decay at a young age. What did you call yourself just now? ”

"Xu Ji."

The boy shook his head, "No. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Mr. asked me to wait for someone, and there is a basic character in the name, but the surname is not Xu."

"Is it surnamed Lou?"

"That's right, it's called Lou Ji, I waited for two days, and I waited for a Lou Ji and a Xu Ji, if you two were together, it would be right."
