The days of waiting are always the hardest, although they are watching a play, but after the first day of calm, after the second day of boredom, early in the morning of the third day, Zhao Shuo has not gotten up, and the people spontaneously went out to inquire about the news. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After waking up, Zhao Shuo moved the worn-out chair to the center of the courtyard, and then walked to the stove next to the east wing, and enjoyed the breakfast made by Yan Wu. Then he returned to the old chair in the middle of the courtyard and sat down.

Shi Yan said that the Zhang family would disappear from Lin'an City within three days, and Zhao Shuo still believed this. If he is a deputy commander, he can't even handle a Zhang family, and he is not worthy of being this deputy commander.

Of course, for safety reasons, Zhao Shuo also left behind, that is, Zhang Long and Li Zhong.

After Zhang Long and Li Zhong came back three days ago, they reported all the information they had collected to Zhao Shuo.

They found the place where the Zhang family was hoarding briquettes, and found a blacksmith there.

The blacksmith family was imprisoned there, and was forced to helplessly help the Zhang family build tools for making briquettes.

This news made Zhao Shuo very satisfied, he was not only satisfied with the skills of Zhang Long and Li Zhong, but also felt that the blacksmith was a person worthy of convincing.

That night, Zhao Shuo asked Zhang Long and Li Zhong to inform Shi Lance of the news, and assisted Shi Lance to kill the Zhang family.

For security reasons, Zhao Shuo also issued a secret order to Zhang Long and Li Zhong. If Shi Lance has no intention of destroying the Zhang family in the past three days, or has a relationship with the Zhang family, the two of them will quietly kill Shi Lance, and then control Shi Lance's army in the name of Zhao Shuo.

I have to say that this is a rather risky strategy, but Zhao Shuo has no choice. If Shi Lance really didn't keep his word, then he would inevitably fall into death. He gave the right to operate the briquettes to Shi Lance, which has completely offended the Zhang family. As long as the Zhang family does not fall, he will not want to have a good life. When the time comes, if you are forced to get out of Lin'an City, I am afraid it will be light.

Zhao Shuo didn't believe in Shi Yan, but he handed over everything he had to a deputy commander who had only met once, no matter how much he believed it, he would still be worried in his heart.

The reason is that the current Zhao Shuo is still too weak, and he can't let anything go wrong.

Although the noon sun was scorching, the weather in early March was still cold, tightening the clothes at the neckline, staring at the closed door, Zhao Shuo waited alone, waiting for the final ending. It was Shi Lance who killed the Zhang family, and everyone was happy; It was Wang Long and Li Zhong who killed Shi Lance, led the army, and attacked the Zhang family; Or Wang Long and Li Zhong failed, Shi Lance united with the Zhang family, and then drove him, His Royal Highness, the prince, out of Lin'an City and wiped out in the wilderness.

The most likely thing is that everyone is happy, but the rest of the situation is not impossible. In the midst of thought, walking on thin ice, the sun gradually set in the west.

Squeak~, the door was gently pushed open, Zhao Shuo instinctively sat up straight and stared at it. The final result will be revealed here.

The person who entered the door was not the extremely vicious and arrogant Zhang family, nor the subordinates who went out early in the morning to inquire about the news, nor the soldiers under the command of Shi Lance, but the old man Zhang who once came to Zhao Shuo's door to ask for debts, and he still carried a piece of meat in his hand.

"Old man Zhang? ...... are you" Zhao Shuo was a little helpless, and a little crying and laughing, he really didn't expect that at this time, it would be the butcher Zhang Laohan who entered the door.

"Xiaomin is here to thank Your Highness." After Zhang Laohan finished speaking, he knelt on the ground. "There is also the question of asking His Highness for sin."

Zhao Shuo was confused, this was the second time he saw Zhang Laohan, and the first time was when Zhang Laohan came to ask for an account.

Although Zhang Laohan's approach is a little ignorant of the rules, after all, it is Gonggong Feng who is on credit, and Zhao Shuo can also understand that in order to live, he can do something outside Kuang. Therefore, after asking Gonggong Feng to repay the five coins of silver three days later, this matter will pass.

Later, according to Gonggong Feng, Zhang Laohan also came to buy briquettes several times. But Zhao Shuo didn't see it.

Now Zhang Laohan suddenly came alone, thanking and pleading, and also took a piece of meat, which really made Zhao Shuo incomprehensible.

"What the hell is going on, get up and tell me."

"It is a blessing for the small people that His Royal Highness eats the meat of the small people's family, but the little people have the shame to come to His Highness to ask for an account, which is really a crime that deserves death." Zhang Laohan still knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"Oops." Zhao Shuo got up and shook his head, walked up to Zhang Laohan, and helped him up. "It's over, you haven't done anything wrong, it's a matter of course to repay your debts."

"Xiaomin thanked His Highness."

If it weren't for Zhao Shuo's support, Zhang Laohan would have knelt down again.

"This matter is over, you don't have to take it to heart, hurry up and go back and live a good life."

Zhao Shuo didn't know what would happen today, so he wanted Zhang Laohan to leave quickly.

"Your Highness, Xiaomin came this time, and I want to thank Your Highness for saving my son." Zhang Laohan did not leave, but spoke again.

Zhang Laohan's first sentence when he entered the door was to thank Zhao Shuo, Zhao Shuo was a little confused at the time, but when he saw Zhang Laohan pleading guilty, he felt that Zhang Laohan thanked him, probably because he did not punish Zhang Laohan because of the account.

But now Zhang Laohan said that he was grateful to Zhao Shuo because Zhao Shuo saved his son, which made Zhao Shuo confused again. He didn't even know who Zhang Laohan's son was, how could he save it?

"Zhang Laohan, you~ are you okay?"

Seeing Zhao Shuo's puzzled expression, Zhang Laohan immediately realized that he seemed to have omitted too many things, and hurriedly spoke. "Your Highness, Xiaomin's son is a soldier under Deputy General Shi, called Zhang Chujiu."

In ancient times, the low-level people gave their names out of easy memory, and most of them added their surnames before the date of birth to form the names of their children.

Zhang Laohan's son Zhang Chujiu was a soldier under Shi Li, Zhang Laohan said that Zhao Shuo saved his son, and Zhao Shuo was somewhat frowning in his heart.

"Zhang Laohan, you go on."

Zhang Laohan nodded and continued. "Your Highness, you may not know that the hardships of being a soldier now, no food or drink, lack of medical treatment, a good person today, I can't say if I will have it tomorrow."

Speaking of this, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of Zhang Laohan's eyes. "On the ninth day of the junior high school of the small people's family, because they are in Lin'an, they are closer to home, and they can occasionally come back to have a full meal. According to him, their brigade of 50 people now has only a dozen or so people left, and the rest are either starving to death, or starving only for the breath that comes out, and has no breath in. ”

Zhao Shuo's brows furrowed, he didn't expect that Shi Yan's troops had now reached such a point.

"Your Royal Highness, thanks to you, you gave the right to operate the briquettes to Deputy Commander Shi, and the troops have income, and no one will starve to death, otherwise relying on the income of the small people, this child in the ninth year of the first month will have to starve to death sooner or later."

"These are all the things that Chu Jiu told you?" There are only a few people who know about giving the management rights of briquettes to Deputy Commander Shi, so Zhao Shuo has this question.

"Your Highness, don't you know yet? Now all the generals under Deputy Commander Shi know about this. This time I came back on the ninth day of the first month, I was much stronger than a few days ago, and I was also in a lot of spirit, and I also got some military salaries back, which Xiaomin couldn't think of before. Zhang Laohan looked happy. All of this is due to His Highness. ”

Zhao Shuo now finally figured out why Shi Lance hadn't acted yet, not because he didn't want to, but because it took time for the soldiers to recover.

Shi Lance said three days at the beginning, naturally he took all these into account, looking at the sky that was already a little gray, the corners of Zhao Shuo's mouth showed a slight smile, it seems that the decisive battle is tonight.
