Wang Xiaowu is quite clever, otherwise Xu Hongru would not have sent him over to deliver the war book.

He carefully observed his words and feelings, and felt that it seemed that Ji Qingwen was still willing to accept the gift, but there was a brocade guard beside him, which made him a little jealous. Therefore, Wang Xiaowu came to the conclusion that if you want to bribe Ji Qingwen, you have to bribe Li Yuanyin first.

So Wang Xiaowu turned his head and said to Li Yuanyin, the old man of Jinyi Wei wearing a flying fish suit: "Ouch, it's a villain, I didn't see that there is still a Jinyi Wei master here." It's a pity that the villain only brought this treasure out...... Otherwise, this lord, you nod here first, and when I go back, I will discuss with our sect leader and send a heavy gift. ”

But I heard Li Yan say: "I said, you are really blind." I saw Brother Ji and Commander Li, I have been sitting here for a long time, and I just talked to you, but you turned a blind eye. Do I see your two eyes just for breath? ”

Wang Xiaowu hurriedly replied: "This is Master Ji's master." There are numbers, there are numbers, and the villain is also a person who often walks around in the yamen. The master naturally has a point here. ”

Li Yan glanced at Ji Qingwen beside him and said with a smile: "Master? You underestimate me too much, I'm Ji-sama's teacher! If you give him a piece of dog's head gold, the thing you give me can't be cheaper than this thing, right? Tell me, what are you going to give me? ”

Wang Xiaowu was stunned when he heard this, raised his eyes and looked at Li Yan carefully several times.

I saw that Li Yan looked like a scholar, and he was really dressed as a scholar, but he was not very old, two or three years older than Ji Qingwen at most, how could he be Ji Qingwen's master? However, this scholar surnamed Li was not ashamed to speak here, but Ji Qingwen did not have half a word of rebuttal, but had a smile on his face, but he seemed to be right.

So Wang Xiaowu could only prevaricate two sentences first: "That's, that's." Since this gentleman is the gentleman of Lord Ji, then the knowledge is naturally the best. The sect leader, his old man's favorite is the scholar, and when the villain goes back to talk to the sect leader, he must carefully select a few elegant things for the scholar to send ......"

"What kind of elegant things are not elegant things, tell you, I only like money, you have something to say first, how much money are you going to send me?" Li Yan asked seriously.

Ji Qingwen couldn't hold back a laugh and said, "Yes, this Mr. Li is my teacher, and the money he gives him is indispensable." If you give less, then you don't look down on Mr. Li's knowledge, but you also look down on my eyes! ”

Wang Xiaowu was sweating profusely when he was asked by these two people, and suddenly had an idea, and came to the trick of "retreating as advance", and said: "The villain is a person who has never seen the world, how much silver should he send over, and ask a few people to give a number, so that the villain can have a bottom in his heart." ”

"Yo!" Ji Qingwen sighed, "I didn't expect you kid to be quite smart and a person who does things." Okay, I won't make it difficult for you, you can give Mr. Li Yan half a year's curtain. ”

Wang Xiaowu heard this, but he was sure in his heart, thinking: Generally, the master of a county prince will be paid 50 taels to 100 taels of silver a year; The master of the prefect is doubled; The governor doubled again...... Ji Qingwen is said to be very powerful, so his master should not be much worse, how can it be the standard of a governor's master?

So Wang Xiaowu seemed to have a bottom in his heart, and said with a smile: "There are numbers, there are numbers." The villain doesn't want to have any half-year curtain pay, as long as Lord Ji agrees, he can send this war letter to Lord Liu, and I will talk to the sect leader and send a year's curtain pay to Mr. ”

As he spoke, Wang Xiaowu stretched out his right hand, spread out four fingers, shook them in front of him, and said, "Four hundred taels of silver, I'll ask for four hundred taels of silver when I go back!" ”

Ji Qingwen laughed when he heard the "haha", and said to Li Yan: "Brother Li, you can sit tight, four hundred taels of silver, don't scare you!" ”

Li Yan laughed loudly, but said to Wang Xiaowu: "You are not a big person, but your tone is not small. Is my annual salary only four hundred taels of silver? ”

Wang Xiaowu was stunned when he heard this, and asked tremblingly: "What?" Mr. Li's annual salary is more than 400 taels of silver? ”

"Naturally, it's not enough! If it's only four hundred taels, how can I, Li Yan, be willing to come up with ideas for a profiteer like Ji Qingwen? Tell you, I can get 5,000 taels of silver a year from Brother Ji! Can you afford it? Li Yan said.

"What! Five thousand taels of silver! Wang Xiaowu was shocked when he heard this, and said, "I have never seen such a lot of silver, I have never seen it in my life, Mr. Li, don't fool me......

Li Yan sneered: "What are you?" Is it worth it for me to deceive you? You either take five thousand taels of silver out, or you can find a way to send this war letter to Lord Liu. Just do these two things, you can do it yourself. ”

Wang Xiaowu came from a humble background, and he was not the kind of saint who did not eat the fireworks of the world, if he could carry five thousand taels of silver in his pocket, he would have left a long time ago, and went to a place where no one knew to be a rich man, what kind of White Lotus Sect do you believe? What kind of legs are you running for the sect leader? What other war letters?

Having said that, Wang Xiaowu's task was a failure, so he had to return to Wenzhou and tell Xu Hongru everything about it.

Xu Hongru was not surprised to hear his return.

He knows that Ji Qingwen is very difficult, and he always gives you a moth in various places - you don't want to fight him, he wants to force you to fight him; You're determined to fight him, and he's trying to find a way to get away.

Although this approach is inexplicably confusing, it is indeed Ji Qingwen's style.

Xu Hongru has been taught this style many times, but he didn't think it was strange, and after letting Wang Xiaowu go back to rest, he invited Zhou Xiuying and Xu Daoqing to discuss the next step.

The "Holy Daughter" Zhou Xiuying was captured by Ji Qingwen almost once because of her previous victory, and at this moment, she didn't say much.

But Xu Daoqing showed extra confidence, and said: "Why should the sect leader worry, whether or not to write a war book is just a formality, we will wave our troops to attack, and it will be a fierce attack to catch Ji Qingwen, I don't believe that he will not fight with us." ”

"Yes, Ji Qingwen's character, if we knock on the door, he doesn't seem to be avoiding fighting." Xu Hongru said.

Zhou Xiuying said timidly: "I'm afraid that Ji Gongzi's men are strong and strong, and our men and horses are not his opponents......"

Xu Daoqing was a little interesting to Zhou Xiuying in the morning, and when he heard that Zhou Xiuying was still calling Ji Qingwen with the word "son", he was immediately angry.

However, with Xu Daoqing's position and status, he didn't dare to reprimand Zhou Xiuying in person, so he could only put an unnatural smile on his face, and said matter-of-factly: "Why should the saint grow the ambition of others and destroy her own prestige? Yes, we did lose at the hands of Ji Qingwen twice before. But one time was in the city of Nanjing, and the other time was in the Liyukou moat. These two places are all small places, and our army has an advantage in strength but cannot be deployed, so the little thief Ji Qingwen can barely gain the momentum. ”

He breathed a sigh of relief and continued to analyze: "However, this time is very different. Here in Wenzhou, except for a few hills, there are endless plains, which can naturally give full play to the advantages of a large number of people and gather tens of thousands of disciples, even if you step on it, you can trample Ji Qingwen into meat sauce! ”

Zhou Xiuying nodded and said, "Senior Brother Xu is right. It's easy to talk about it, but what kind of concentration method is it, but it's a university question, I don't know what Senior Brother Xu's decision is? ”

Xu Daoqing said: "It's hard to say, and it's easy to say." Thanks to Ji Qingwen, he is a showman, and the banner of this 'Ming Wu Army' is bright, and you can see where he is at a glance. Therefore, as long as the sect leader, the saint and I each lead an elite army and attack in three ways, even if we can't wipe out all of Ji Qingwen's department, at least we can contain him. Then I sent Brother Right-hand, led other soldiers and horses to press on him, and surrounded him with three layers inside and three layers outside, I don't believe that Ji Qingwen has grown wings and can fly out of the siege of so many disciples! ”

"Well, well said!" Xu Hongru was obviously moved by Xu Daoqing's plan, and praised, "It is worthy of being a private school and a military scholar, your method is very good." ”

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xiuying said on the side: "But in today's decisive battle, in addition to Ji Gongzi, there are other officers and soldiers on the other side." Daddy, don't forget. ”
