"What you say makes sense!" Shi Jian nodded silently.

At this time, the subordinate suddenly came to report: "Your Highness, Wen Cang is here!" ”

"Wen Cang?" Shi Jian frowned slightly and said, "What is he doing in my Ning Wangfu?" ”

The subordinate shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know, Wen Cang doesn't want to say, but he has to be clamoring to see you!" ”

"Where is he? Waiting for you in the yard! ”

Gao Shangzhi slowly got up and said, "In this case, Your Highness, the old man will avoid it first!" ”

"No need!" Shi Jian looked up at Gao Shangzhi and said, "Today's Ning Wangfu is not what it used to be, and I, Shi Jian, no longer need to hide my head and tail!" Since he Wen Cang came directly to the door, let him figure things out! ”

Gao Shangzhi was stunned for a moment, a little hesitant, Shi Jian smiled and said with relief: "Don't worry, my lord!" It's okay! It's not difficult to subdue Wen Cang! ”

Seeing that Shi Jian insisted, he didn't say anything more and sat down again.

"Bring Wen Cang here!" Shi Jian commanded.

"Yes......"

A moment later, Wen Cang was brought in, and as soon as he entered the room, he saw Gao Shangzhi sitting on Shi Jian's right hand, only to see him sitting there quietly with his eyes closed, motionless. Wen Cang was stunned for a moment, but soon regained his composure.

"Commander Wenda!" Shi Jian smiled and asked, "What are you doing in my little Ning Wangfu?" ”

Wen Cang glanced at Gao Shangzhi again, and then said to Shi Jian: "Come and let His Highness answer a doubt for the lower official, now it seems that it is no longer necessary!" ”

"Oh? Is it? You're here for the old man, aren't you? Gao Shangzhi slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Wen Cang and asked.

"You are really from King Ning's Mansion!" Wen Cang said.

"Not bad! Commander Wen is quite smart! Shi Jian did not shy away from saying, "You are the first person to know this secret!" ”

"I didn't expect that the person who made Xihuahou Mansion, Zhang Bao and Shi Zun go to great lengths to investigate turned out to be His Royal Highness King Ning!" Wen Cang took a deep breath and said, "Your Royal Highness King Ning, you have forced me to a dead end!" ”

"Huh!" Shi Jian smiled, raised his hand and pointed to the seat next to him, and said, "Since you're here, you don't have to stand and talk!" This king and the adults have to look up at you, their necks are tired! ”

Wen Cang sat down stubbornly, but he seemed a little worried and hesitant between his gestures.

"Your Highness......"

"This king knows what you want to say!" Shi Jian waved his hand, interrupted Wen Cang's words, and said, "Don't worry, your family and General Shi Yong's family are fine!" ”

"I've already done everything that Master Gao explained, it's time for me to take them away, right?"

Shi Jian frowned slightly and asked, "Commander Wen, in your eyes, is this king a ruthless person?" ”

Wen Cang glanced at Shi Jian and did not respond.

"You can rest assured! The two ladies and children, Ning Wangfu did not embarrass them, but now that there is chaos outside, you are still a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect yourself, I advise you, it is better not to move this idea for the time being! ”

When Wen Cang heard Shi Jian's words, he was immediately a little displeased, and said, "Your Highness wants to break your word?" ”

"Brother Wen, don't be so anxious! His Royal Highness is a man of his word, and if he says that he will not embarrass them, he will definitely not make any moves! Gao Shangzhi reminded on the side.

Wen Cang knew that he couldn't bargain with Shi Jian, so he pursed his lips and had to swallow his anger.

"What else does Your Highness want me to do?" Wen Cang asked.

"Hahahaha! Ning Wangfu likes you to be so refreshing! Shi Jian smiled, glanced at Gao Shangzhi, and said to Wen Cang: "This king is sure that with your mind, you will soon guess that the person behind Master Gao is this king!" If you don't come today, you will come tomorrow! ”

"Isn't Your Highness afraid that I will reveal your secret?"

"Secret? What is the secret of this king? Shi Jian asked rhetorically.

“......”

"Do you want to say that Master Gao came back from the dead, and then did things for this king?" Shi Jian didn't panic, and asked rhetorically: "Or is this king plotting to rebel?" Hehehehe, Commander Wen, no one has the handle of this king in his hand! Including you! ”

Shi Jian has been from beginning to end, so his calculations have been done without leakage, Wen Cang thought about it, his so-called secret does not seem to have any value.

"Wen Cang has lost his words, please forgive your ......"

Wen Cang's words were obviously a sign of submission to Ning Wangfu, and the noble and Shijian on the side were naturally quite proud in their hearts.

In fact, Wen Cang knew in his heart that what made him bow his head was not only the safety of his wife and sister-in-law, but also the strategies and means of Ning Wang Shijian, which exceeded his imagination.

"Zhang Bao turned this Yecheng upside down, and the death of the first emperor is Zhang Bao's responsibility, and he has nothing to do with others! Now Zhao is in chaos, and everyone in the government and the opposition is in danger. Commander Wen, the safety of this Yecheng can only be maintained by the two of us working together! ”

Shi Jian's words undoubtedly gave Wen Cang a hint, and Wen Cang immediately kowtowed and said, "Wen Cang obeys the dispatch of His Highness!" ”

......

After subduing Wen Cang, Shi Jian's ambition began to be realized step by step as planned. At the same time, Gao Shirong's men and horses had already assembled outside the city, although there was no sign of attacking the city, but tens of thousands of horses camped outside the city, for Shi Jian, it was like a fish in the throat.

"Lord Wu, see it! That's what you did! Shi Jian stood on the city tower and said to Wu Liang on the side.

Zhang Bao's failure was undoubtedly a huge blow to Wu Liang, coupled with several days of imprisonment, Wu Liang, who was originally dignified and well-dressed, looked a little downcast and thin at this time.

"Your Highness......"

Wu Liang's lips were a little chapped, and he finally moved, and said slowly: "These are Gao Shirong's old departments, originally Master Zhang...... It was Zhang Bao who ordered him to be transferred to deal with the Xihua Marquis Mansion! Now that Gao Shirong is ambushed, these people may not be able to obey the order! ”

"This country is Your Majesty's country, and these soldiers are also Your Majesty's swords, Gao Shirong is dead, can't Your Majesty order them to fail?" Shi Jian said deliberately.

"These people are Gao Shirong's cronies, and they have followed him to fight for many years, if they have Gao Shirong's talisman, maybe there will be a chance!" Wu Liang lowered his head and said stupidly: "It's a pity that Gao Shirong is dead, and his talisman is unknown......

"The Talisman is here!" Shi Jian suddenly took out a tiger talisman from his sleeve, shook it in front of Wu Liang, and asked, "Are you sure that you will subdue these 30,000 horses outside?" ”

Wu Liang glanced up at Shi Jian and asked, "The lower official is stupid, I don't know what His Highness said about accepting it, what does it mean?" ”

"Lord Wu is such a clever person, can't he guess the king's thoughts?" Shi Jian smiled and patted Wu Liang's shoulder with a relaxed expression.

For some reason, Wu Liang didn't feel relaxed at all in front of Shi Jian, who was smiling, and now he completely believed that Zhang Bao's judgment on Shi Jian, as well as his own judgment, was correct! Knowing this, Wu Liang and Zhang Bao would have gotten rid of Shi Jian as soon as possible, even if they worked hard.

It's a pity that this stone has been too well hidden.

"Xia Guan understands! Xia Guan understands! ”

Wu Liang said, carefully stretched out his hands, bowed his head and bent down, waiting for Shi Jian to hand him the talisman.

"Lord Wu!" Shi Jian played with the talisman and said unhurriedly: "This errand is not a child's play!" ”

"The lower official understands the stakes!" Wu Liang said respectfully.

Shi Jian looked at Wu Liang who nodded and bowed, and naturally felt a little relieved in his heart, after all, just a few days ago, Wu Liang looked arrogant to himself in front of Zhang Bao, but he didn't expect that just a few days later, the situation was completely reversed.

"You have to keep this talisman carefully!" Shi Jian said, and handed the tiger talisman into Wu Liang's hands.

Wu Liang carefully held the tiger talisman and put it in his arms, and at this time, Shi Jian spoke again: "If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault?" This is your chance for Lord Wu to atone for his crimes! Be sure to take advantage of it, your family is waiting to be reunited with you! ”

Wu Liang's heart tightened, he couldn't help but glance at Shi Jian, at this time Wu Liang understood very well in his heart, Shi Jian's words were clearly a threat to his family.

"Wu Liang must live up to His Highness's trust!" Wu Liang pretended not to understand what Shi Jian meant.
