Yang Xuangan didn't expect Chen Zhishen to ask this question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he was stunned.

Chen Zhishen saw that Yang Xuan was dumb, and immediately burst into laughter, his voice shocked Yang Xuan's eardrums numb, and he said sharply: "I'm afraid that you are the subordinate of the old thief Yang Su, and you want to come to grandpa to talk here, yes or no?!" ”

Yang Xuangan's brain was spinning rapidly, he settled down, laughed, and in the process of laughing, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with a countermeasure.

After laughing, Yang Xuangan looked directly into Chen Zhishen's eyes and said, "Why does Chen Yishi think that I am Yang Su's subordinate?" ”

Chen Zhishen said: "Apart from Yang Su, who else is qualified to order all the guards in this prison to go out?" If Zhou Luohu wanted to find me, he would definitely come in person, at least let his son come, how could he let a cronie with a token come over? ”

Yang Xuangan felt a little relieved in his heart, Chen Zhishen was just testing himself just now, but he said his thoughts, obviously deep down he also hoped that this conjecture was wrong, and he still hoped that Zhou Luohu could really achieve Xiao Maha's wish.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuan said in a deep voice: "Don't forget, my master is the deputy commander of the army, of course he has the ability to make the guards in this prison withdraw." As for Yang Su, he has now led a large army to Artemisia Ze to meet Yang Liang's defenders, and my master and two sons have also followed, so he has no time to come. ”

"Chen Yishi, you have confirmed this jade pendant just now, this is enough to prove the identity of the next, my master really wants to help General Xiao, otherwise he would not have bothered so much to let the next come to connect with you. Think for yourself, if my master is really a ruthless and unrighteous person. Why don't you kill you when you deliver the letter that day? Do you want to do more now? ”

Chen Zhishen stopped talking for a while. This is also one thing he has been puzzled about these days, he couldn't figure it out, he stared at Yang Xuangan's eyes, as if he wanted to see the answer, and after a long time, he sighed: "I don't know who to trust now, who can I trust!" If you have anything to say, just don't try to lie to me. ”

Yang Xuangan felt that a stone fell to the ground in his heart. After the mask, his face was already covered with sweat, but he couldn't wipe it, he sat down cross-legged in front of Chen Zhishen, lowered his voice, and said: "Actually, you should know that my master wants to help General Xiao, but you are too reckless, how can you go straight to the barracks like you?" ”

As soon as Chen Zhishen raised his head, the muscles on his face jumped twice, and he also lowered his voice: "What can I do?!" Seeing that Yang Liang's army was about to be defeated. The life and death of the son are uncertain, how can he see Zhou Luohu without this method? ”

Yang Xuangan snorted coldly: "What if you see it?" Do you think you can ask my master for help when you see it? You must know that Yang Guang can't fully trust my master. has already been around him all over the ears, if the master of my family is also implicated in General Xiao, how can I save your family? ”

Chen Zhishen lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and only raised his head after a while and asked, "The matter has come to this, what can I do now?" ”

Yang Xuan said: "It depends on what you say in front of Yang Guang, and it also depends on whether General Xiao will pull my master into the water." ”

Chen Zhishen's face changed: "How could my master harm Zhou Luohu, he couldn't harm Zhou Luohu, you know, he followed Yang Liang into trouble, and no one would believe what he said." ”

Yang Xuangan waved his hand: "Chen Yishi, we are cooperating sincerely now, I think I have already shown the sincerity of my master, but you seem to be a little uninteresting." General Xiao has my master's first reply in his hand, and this is enough to kill my master's entire family. ”

Chen Zhishen laughed: "You guys think of this, it's really good, so you came to me to reply to that letter?" ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head and said, "Chen Yishi, don't get me wrong, we know very well that the thing is not in your hands, and General Xiao will personally keep this thing." My master said that no matter whether General Xiao will pull him into the water this time, just because he saved his life when he was in Nanchen, our Zhou family will also do their best to protect Xiao Shilian! It's just a premise, my master has to be okay himself, otherwise how can he intercede with Yang Guang? ”

Chen Zhishen sneered: "Speaking of which, you still want to find out the whereabouts of that letter." Let's tell you the truth, we are not stupid, without that letter, how could Zhou Luohu save the world? Unless the Son is spared, we will not hand it over. ”

Yang Xuangan finally got what he wanted, and said with a smile: "So the whereabouts of this letter are really only you know." ”

Chen Zhishen "gedeng" in his heart, and his heart sank rapidly. He realized that he had spoken to the guy wearing the ghost mask opposite, so he rolled his eyes and argued: "I didn't say that, General Xiao has his own arrangements, the letter is in his hands, and I am now in prison, and I don't know the whereabouts of the letter at all." ”

Yang Xuangan said in a deep voice: "You don't have to lie to me, General Xiao has given you all the power to handle this matter, because he knows very well that he will not escape death this time, and of course he is counting on you to save his son!" If you don't know the whereabouts of the letter, how can you rely on this thing to force my master to comply? ”

Chen Zhishen gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I won't beat around the bush with you, it's boring." I do know the whereabouts of the letter, but I won't tell you, you're still dead! If I die or you don't save the world, someone will naturally send this letter to Yang Guang. ”

Yang Xuangan nodded: "Isn't this the end?" Everyone cooperated to show some sincerity, and made it clear what they had in hand and what they wanted each other to do. ”

Chen Zhishen said: "Okay, what I said here has been clear enough, what else do you want to know?" ”

Yang Xuangan said in a deep voice: "Actually, we all know these things, but we just want you to say it to show the sincerity of cooperation." If I wanted to force you to say, I would have tortured you a long time ago, but we haven't done it because my master said that he really wants to help General Xiao, not just to protect himself. ”

Chen Zhishen said disdainfully: "It's useless to say beautifully, I only look at actions now." What is the situation of the prince now? Can you tell me about it first? Let me see your sincerity. ”

Yang Xuangan had already prepared for this, and said: "My master has sent someone to secretly go back to Daxing to inquire, and now I am still waiting for news, according to common sense, the families of the generals who followed Yang Liang to raise troops this time have been imprisoned, and they will be unified after the rebellion is quelled, so your family should be eating in prison like you, but your life is worry-free." ”

Chen Zhishen secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. The expression on his face also stretched a little, and he said, "It's okay." So what are you going to do to save the world? ”

Yang Xuan said confidently: "Well, my master plans to use the military exploits of this counterinsurgency to protect Xiao Shizi's life." ”

Chen Zhishen was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "It's that simple? ”

Yang Xuangan asked rhetorically, "Is there any other good way?" ”

Chen Zhishen said angrily: "Your Zhou family didn't fool us, how could you save the world?" ”

Yang Xuangan replied calmly: "Then according to you, why can't you save the son of the world, or if you are the master of my family, what will you plan to do?" ”

Chen Zhishen stood up suddenly, and his voice became hurried. Obviously, he was already furious: "Of course, I am looking for some important ministers and generals, and let them help me go to Yang Guang to intercede together." Zhou Luohu himself was only a general of the Chen Dynasty. has no foundation in the court, what's the use of relying on him to say it alone? I have something to say first, if you can't save the life of the son in the end, don't blame our Xiao family for pulling your Zhou family into the water together. ”

Yang Xuangan sat quietly in place, listening to Chen Zhishen roar before speaking, his tone was smooth and soothing, making it difficult to hear what he was thinking at this time: "Chen Yishi, don't threaten me like this, we all know this, do you want to hear our opinion?" ”

Chen Zhishen sat down indignantly, his eyes still staring at Yang Xuangan, as if he was about to burst into flames.

Yang Xuan said: "Chen Yishi, have you ever thought that at this time, the more you intercede, the faster your family will die." ”

Chen Zhishen shook his head, not even bothering to say anything, obviously he didn't believe this assertion at all.

Yang Xuangan continued: "If you think about it carefully, Yang Guang was rebelled by his own brother this time, and nine times out of ten, the state generals rebelled with Yang Liang, as the emperor, what is he most afraid of now?" ”

Chen Zhishen said: "Naturally, I am afraid that people in other places are not reliable." ”

Yang Xuan said: "Yes, this time the suppression and merger of the state, next time if people in other places also have a disobedient heart, what should I do?" My master is a general who commands the army abroad, if you intercede for General Xiao with the important ministers of the court, if you are Yang Guang, what will you think? ”

Chen Zhishen had never thought about it in this direction before, and he couldn't help but be stunned at first glance, and said later: "If I were Yang Guang, I would naturally be very scared." ”

Yang Xuan said: "That's it, Yang Guang will still think, why did Wu intercede with the courtiers for the son of a traitor, will there be any collusion between them, in this way, not only will your family die undoubtedly, but also drag a large number of people into the water, this is the result you want to see?" ”

Chen Zhishen was silent for a while before he spoke: "Then according to you, if you don't ask others for help, it is all up to General Zhou to intercede alone, and Yang Guang will release him?" ”

Yang Xuangan smiled slightly, he knew that Chen Zhishen was starting to take the bait: "If it is just my master who goes to intercede alone, and uses the military exploits of this counterinsurgency to intercede, then the nature will be different, on the one hand, let Yang Guang see that he is isolated and helpless, and no one helps him speak, such a person can rest assured." ”

"On the other hand, my master can show that he is very righteous, after Yang Liang's rebellion is quelled, whether the families of these implicated rebels are alive or dead, Yang Guang actually doesn't care too much, if he is in a good mood, he may be able to avoid death."

Chen Zhishen shook his head: "You just said for a long time that maybe, but you still can't guarantee the ticket, is there any other way?" ”

Yang Xuangan's heart suddenly burst into flames, he didn't expect that after explaining for so long, Chen Zhishen still refused to give in.

Yang Xuangan slightly raised the tone of his speech, and there was a hint of sorrow in his tone: "To be able to do this, our Zhou family has done its best, and it is not our Zhou family that decides the life and death of your family, but the current emperor Yang Guang, do you want my master to take a knife to his neck and force him to release him?" ”

"Chen Zhishen, let me remind you again, the master of my family is out of friendship with General Xiao for many years, especially the last time General Xiao saved his family's life once, he will take the risk to see you twice. You're good. Instead, he used this as a lever and wanted to threaten people. Who are you threatening? ”

"If you want to turn in this reply. Even if you are handing it over. Make it clear, it was your General Xiao who took the initiative to come to our master, but not my master to find General Xiao, don't reverse the cause and effect. It's a big deal that my lord will cure the crime of not reporting it and go home, and then you will be ready to go to the grave of that son of your family. ”

After Yang Xuangan finished scolding, he got up and turned around to leave, but was pulled by Chen Zhishen.

Yang Xuangan turned his head suddenly, his eyes shining. He roared in a low voice: "The surname is Chen, what else do you want to say?" Since the words are not speculative, it will stop here. ”

Chen Zhishen put on a smiling face and said, "Brother, don't worry, I just lost my words at the next moment, and I offended Your Excellency, please don't be angry, I have something to say." ”

Yang Xuangan said coldly: "Say it well? What else is there to say! Since you can't trust our Zhou family, you think we can't work. Then just report us. You may even be interrogated by Yang Guang personally, and you can also pour dirty water on my master at that time. Anyway, don't you just want our family to accompany Xiao Shilian to the funeral? ”

Chen Zhishen apologized again and again, and said: "Brother, don't be like this, sit down and talk about it, I still believe in General Zhou's sincerity?" ”

Yang Xuan was happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be a little annoyed in his tone, and said while turning around and sitting down: "As the saying goes, do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, my family can only do your best, who dares to guarantee that you will succeed?" When General Xiao guaranteed with his net worth and life that my master would not have any dissenting intentions, can you dare to say that he will definitely be able to save my master? ”

Chen Zhishen also sat down and said, "I already know General Zhou's heart, your kindness, I and my General Xiao will definitely remember, what to do next, just open your mouth." ”

"Don't hide it from my brother, General Xiao once confessed before coming out, as long as you really do your best, even if you still don't save the prince in the end, I won't use that reply to embarrass you."

Yang Xuan snorted coldly: "I said a long time ago, my master didn't help you for that reply, and I would turn my face if I said this again." ”

Chen Zhishen smiled on his face and said, "Okay, okay, don't talk about this, how do you call your brother?" Will you keep in touch with Chen in the future? ”

Yang Xuangan shook his head: "Always in touch? You think it's quite beautiful, if it weren't for Yang Su's army going out to meet Yang Liang's troops, how could I have been able to get in today? As for the battle, if the battle is over, you will be escorted into Daxing, maybe Yang Guang will see you again, at that time, how can I come to contact you? So it doesn't matter who I am, you just need to know that I'm from the Zhou family. ”

A flash of disappointment flashed on Chen Zhishen's face: "Then what are you doing here today?" Just sue me for this plan of yours, give me peace of mind, right? ”

Yang Xuangan smiled: "It's not so simple, Chen Yishi, I have been saying just now, you may be brought to Yang Guang for questioning, or there will be other important ministers of the court to interrogate you, what are you going to say when the time comes, have you thought about it now?" ”

Chen Zhishen laughed, and the laughter shook Yang Xuangan's eardrums as uncomfortable as flatulence. After laughing, Chen Zhishen said: "It's been a long time, this is what you really care about, aren't you afraid that I will betray your Zhou family in front of Yang Guang?" ”

Yang Xuangan's voice was calm with a hint of coldness: "Chen Yishi, you misunderstood, from the moment you were brought to Yang Guang or other officials, it is impossible to conceal the two letters, my master wants me to tell you, just reflect the situation truthfully, don't exaggerate, don't hide it." ”

Chen Zhishen was slightly stunned, and then asked puzzled: "What's the matter with you, do you have to tell it when you meet in Daxing for the first time?" There's no need for that. ”

Yang Xuangan waved his hand and said, "This is absolutely necessary, because my master is about to explain this matter to Yang Guang, so I must have a good caliber with you, this is the purpose of my coming here today." ”

Chen Zhishen's eyes became more and more puzzled, and he asked, "Forgive Chen for being stupid, why did General Zhou take the initiative to explain?" Our family General Xiao didn't plan to report the first time he sent the letter, as I said just now, as long as you really try your best to save Xiao Shizi, we will naturally not betray General Zhou. ”

Yang Xuangan interrupted Chen Zhishen's words suddenly, and said: "It's not that I'm worried that something will happen to you here, in fact, the first time you came to Daxing to deliver a message, it may not be that you didn't attract attention, maybe Yang Guang had already set his eyes on you, but he didn't say anything." ”

Chen Zhishen is still suspicious, he was born in the army, he is not a very deep person in the city, many countermeasures are just repeatedly discussed with Xiao Maha and Wang Cheng before departure, but suddenly encountered Yang Xuangan's situation of playing cards out of common sense, and suddenly he didn't know how to deal with it, and his mind gradually fell into a state of chaos.

Yang Xuangan saw the confusion in his heart from his eyes, and knew that this person was getting deeper and deeper into his own trap, and the whole thing was one step closer to the success of his plan.

So Yang Xuangan smiled and said: "Of course, this is just in case, but the more this happens, the more you need to be cautious." Anyway, the second time you came to deliver the letter has been exposed, rather than waiting for others to find out about the first letter delivery in the future, it is better to take the initiative to explain it yourself, so that you can still grasp the initiative.
