"Tell me, who are you, and who sent you? If you are the person of Ma Yin, the king of Chu, or the person who made Gao Jichang from Jingnan, then don't speak, I won't have so much time to waste with you here! After sitting down again, Liu Chongjing looked around, motioned for the guards to move farther away, and then asked in a low voice.

For him, no matter how bad he is in Wu now, as long as he doesn't rebel and don't do anything wrong, he will be able to inherit the title of a county duke after his father dies in the future, and his wealth is still guaranteed.

And whether it is Ma Yin, the king of Chu, or Gao Jichang, the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, it is now difficult to protect itself, and Liu Chongjing is not a fool, so he will naturally not be stupid enough to take refuge in these two parties.

Opposite him, the middle-aged man couldn't help but smile when he saw him sit down again, and at the same time thought to himself: "Fortunately, Mr. Liang had expected it a long time ago and made preparations in advance, otherwise if I said that I was from Jiangling, I was afraid that this person would really turn his face." ”

He knew that the main reason why Liu Chongjing didn't take him down just now was because he was just a small person, and it would be no good for Liu Chongjing to take him down, but it might cause trouble.

But if you really want to say that Liu Chongjing is angry, even if the other party doesn't take him down, he can find a way to make himself disappear, with the power of the Liu family, as long as he is cautious, there won't be too much trouble.

So after Liu Chongjing sat down again, the middle-aged man looked serious and said respectfully: "In Xia Wang Zhong, from Kaifeng, as for the people behind him, I guess Liu Gongzi can also guess it, right?" ”

"You were sent by King Liang? What are the certificates? Liu Chongjing frowned and said.

The state of Wu has not yet recognized Zhu Wen's status as emperor, so when Zhu Wen is mentioned, he is either called the pseudo-emperor of Liang or his former title of king of Liang.

Liu Chongjing has been in Wu all the year round, so he is naturally affected by this title.

"If Liu Gongzi wants a credential, can this be used as a credential?" Wang Zhong took out a letter from his sleeve, which said that Wang Zhong was appointed to the Kaifeng Mansion, but the back was stamped with the big seal of the governor of the Chongzheng Yuan of the Liang State.

Seeing the seal of Jingxiang above, Liu Chongjing immediately believed it in his heart.

This Jing Xiang is deeply trusted by Zhu Wen, and many secret agent affairs are taken care of by him, so it is very reasonable for this Wang Zhong to hold the appointment letter granted by Jing Xiang in front of him.

It's a pity that what he didn't know was that Liang Zhen had expected in advance that the identity of the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu was a little insufficient, so he asked people to privately engrave Jingxiang's seal and forge this letter of appointment.

For Gao Jichang, not to mention just forging Jing Xiang's seal, if necessary, he would even dare to forge the heirloom jade seal in Zhu Wen's hand.

Although Liu Chongjing believed that the person in front of him was sent by Jing Xiang, he still asked with some doubts: "I heard that your Liang army is now completely contained in the north and has no power to look south, how can Jing Xiang send you here?" And Ben will be just a small character, how can he be targeted by Jing Xiang? ”

Wang Zhong saw that he believed his forged identity, and immediately felt more relieved, he said with a smile: "It is indeed difficult for our army to move south in a short period of time, but because of this, it is even more important to pay attention to the situation in the south, otherwise when your Wu State unifies the south, our army will be even more hostile!" As for why he found General Liu, General Liu felt that he was just a small person, but with Song Guogong behind General Liu, who would think so? ”

"Are you trying to convince my father to rebel through me? It's impossible! It's impossible! If you have this idea, then you should die as soon as possible! Liu Chongjing immediately became excited.

He knew his father's loyalty to Wu Guo, that was a person who was indifferent by nature and was not very enthusiastic about power, especially now that his father was older, there would be no possibility of rebellion, at most, how to start and finish well, and go to another world in the future to face the old master Yang Xingmi.

"General Liu doesn't have to be excited, he didn't say that he wanted to persuade your father to rebel. In the following meaning, in fact, it is just an exchange with Liu Gongzi, which is beneficial to both parties! Wang Zhong hurriedly said.

He knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, not to mention pulling big people like Liu Wei and Tao Ya off the horse, even if it was Liu Chongjing in front of him, it was not easy to pull him off the horse, and he had to come slowly step by step.

Liu Chongjing calmed down and asked in a deep voice, "Exchange?" What kind of exchange? ”

"It's very simple, Liu Gongzi is now serving as a commander of the army in Tangnian County, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to get ahead. However, if we have the cooperation, Liu Gongzi will naturally have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions; And once Liu Gongzi regains his merits, with the power of your Liu family in Wu State, as long as he moves a little, it must be possible to be transferred to the forbidden army again. I wonder what Liu Gongzi thinks? ”

Although Liu Chongjing's expression on his face did not change, he quickly thought in his heart.

According to what Wang Zhong said, if there is really the cooperation of the enemy army, then there may be a merit for him to lead the Xiang army; And once you make a contribution, and then find a way in Jinling, maybe you really have a chance to return to the forbidden army.

Thinking of this, Liu Chongjing was suddenly a little moved.

He forcibly resisted the excitement in his heart, tried his best to pretend not to care, and said in a cold voice: "Then what do you want to get?" Don't tell Ben that you don't need anything? And how will Ben know if you are trying to set a trap on purpose? ”

Although Liu Chongjing was already quite tempted in his heart, after all, he was born into a noble family, and he still had basic vigilance.

"We naturally have a need, now that the power of Wu is so strong, and it has annexed three places in succession, such as Liangzhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian, where is the king of Wu going to attack next, this is extremely important news for our country. If General Liu can provide information on this, our army will naturally try to help General Liu return to the forbidden army. I think that your Excellency is the son of the Shangshu family of the Wu State Army, this bit of news should be easy to get, right? Wang Zhong asked with a smile.

"As for how to convince Gongzi of our sincerity, in a few days, a hundred of our army will enter the territory of Tangnian County to inquire about intelligence, and you will send someone to destroy them, presumably in this way, Liu Gongzi will be able to believe it, right?"

Liu Chongjing glanced at Wang Zhong in surprise, didn't say anything, but stood up and said, "This matter is going to be thought about more, if there is any decision, I will send someone to inform you!" ”

Wang Zhong knew that Liu Chongjing was still not at ease, and wanted to investigate his situation first, and at the same time think about it, so he didn't continue to say more, but just whispered: "Then Liu Gongzi should be as soon as possible, the scout of a hundred people will arrive in a few days, so time waits for no one!" ”

After getting up and leaving the tavern under the protection of the guards, he was blown by the already hot air outside, Liu Chongjing's heart was slightly shocked, and he didn't know whether his contact with this person today was good or bad.

He shook his head, sighed slightly, and turned to leave.

Behind him, the smile on Wang Zhong's face was getting stronger and stronger, and he knew that Liu Chongjing had basically taken the bait.

This time maybe he just asked Liu Chongjing to provide a little information, but when he tasted the sweetness, he would fall deeper and deeper, maybe next time he would make him do something more out of the ordinary, and when he suddenly woke up, he was already too deep and too late to turn back.

At that time, Liu Chongjing could only completely fall into their side.

And once Liu Chongjing falls, will it be far from his father falling?

"Hey, hey!"

Wang Zhong couldn't help but laugh out loud thinking about what would happen in the future.

A few days later, as Wang Zhong expected, Liu Chongjing thought about it after going back, but finally failed to resist the temptation and came to meet Wang Zhong again.

And this time, Wang Zhong also told Liu Chongjing the number of people, time and place of the upcoming scout team.

In order to pull Liu Chongjing into the water, Gao Jichang did invest a lot of money, and even prepared to recruit some as outcasts, specifically to express his "sincerity" to Liu Chongjing.

Of course, these scouts, who are regarded as outcasts, naturally do not know the fate they will face.

After Liu Chongjing learned that the enemy army who was about to come over to spy on the news was sent by Gao Jichang, although he had some doubts in his heart, he was eager to make meritorious contributions, and secondly, Gao Jichang now belonged to the camp of the Liang army, so he didn't think much about it.

Within a few days, not long after the scout team of 100 people entered the territory of Tangnian County, it was attacked by hundreds of troops led by Liu Chongjing, and the whole army was immediately annihilated.

After the news was reported to Wang Maozhang in Ezhou, he was naturally rewarded and affirmed by Wang Maozhang.

Only less than a hundred enemy troops were eliminated, which was naturally not enough for him to transfer back to the forbidden army from the Xiang army, but it was a good start.

After tasting the sweetness, Liu Chongjing cooperated with Wang Zhong many times to get the opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Sometimes Liu Chongjing would personally lead people to go deep into the territory of Fuzhou to inquire about the news, and finally obtained a lot of valuable information; Sometimes there was an invasion by the Liang army, but before the main force of the forbidden army stationed nearby could react, Liu Chongjing led his Xiang army to wipe it out.

……

These credits are generally not too big, after all, Gao Jichang does not have so much capital to give Liu Chongjing "meritorious service"; In addition, if Liu Chongjing's contribution is too great, it will also arouse the suspicion of people with a heart.

And now he has not made many contributions, but it shows Liu Chongjing's positive attitude.

Even if an ordinary person makes a mistake, as long as he realizes his mistake, he should be given a chance to make amends, let alone the eldest son of Song Guogong?

No matter what, Liu Chongjing's father is also Liu Wei, the Duke of Song Guo, and with this relationship, he naturally receives more attention; Moreover, in order to show his preferential treatment of Liu Wei and other meritorious veterans, Yang Wu will not give him a chance to reform himself.

And this gives Liu Chongjing room to operate!
