After a generous speech, Wang Feng got up and left his seat, bowed to Zhong Youpeng, and bowed deeply. Seeing this, Zhong Youpeng hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Virtuous son-in-law doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly, please get up quickly." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand to Zhong Shiwen again and signaled, "Shiwen, don't hurry up and help your brother-in-law up." ”

At this time, Zhong Shiwen was already impressed by the courage of his brother-in-law and his group of brothers to fight against the Khitans alone and save the people of Youyun from fire and water, thinking that he might also participate in it, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. Hearing that his father asked him to help Wang Feng up, he naturally wouldn't slack off, hurriedly stood up, came to Wang Feng's side, stretched out his hand to help him, and said: "Brother-in-law, please get up quickly, we are all a family, and the father who should help and can help will definitely help you and your brothers." ”

Although Zhong Youpeng has not yet made up his mind, through this long conversation with Wang Feng before, he has a general understanding of the other party's situation, and has agreed to the other party's request for help to contact the local Han officials, generals, gentry and common people, just waiting to find a suitable opportunity to have a good talk with several leaders of the other party, and then see the "Flying Dragon Army" mentioned by Wang Feng just now, and then he can settle the whole matter. Therefore, he was not dissatisfied with his son's promise of such a big package for himself, but said through this statement: "What Shiwen said is right. Since the virtuous son-in-law has married the old man's daughter, then we are a family. As the saying goes, 'a family doesn't talk about two families', the virtuous son-in-law and the brothers of the virtuous son-in-law are for the well-being of our people, and the old man naturally has no reason not to support you.

However, this matter is very important, and if it is not done well, it will be a catastrophe of raiding the family and destroying the door. Therefore, before starting to implement it, it needs to be carefully planned to ensure that nothing goes wrong. From the old man's point of view, it is better to do this, the virtuous son-in-law can first send someone to send a letter to the court, saying that the old man has understood what you mean, and he also admires your open-mindedness to save the gentry and the people in the midst of fire and water, and very much hopes to meet with the leaders of the court and the court, and have a good talk about this important matter. The time and place of the conversation were decided by the court, and the old man had no objections. What does the virtuous son-in-law think? ”

Seeing that Zhong Youpeng did not accept his request with great certainty, his words had been significantly loosened, and a stone in Wang Feng's heart finally fell to the ground. And the other party's proposal to meet with Wang Kunjun and others is also a very reasonable request. After all, what he invited the other party to do was a big thing that would raid the house and destroy the door, and it was impossible to completely win the trust of the other party by relying on himself as a lobbyist. So, Wang Feng replied without any hesitation: "My father-in-law praised it falsely. My father-in-law was willing to talk to my son-in-law's fifth and sixth brothers, and this was exactly what our brothers could not ask for, and my son-in-law would send someone back to Liangxiang City tomorrow to deliver a letter to my son-in-law's cousin and several other brothers. ”

"That's the best." Zhong Youpeng nodded and said. Then he changed the topic and said: "Since Ziqi gave birth to a child, all her thoughts have been on Ke'er's body, and she has never returned to her parents' house to visit her mother. Since I came with my children this time, I will stay at home for a few more days, I don't know what the virtuous son-in-law wants? ”

"This is nature, this is nature," Wang Feng replied, "Before the son-in-law came, the cousin and several other brothers of the son-in-law had instructed the son-in-law to let the son-in-law and Ziqi live at home for a few more days, and do more filial piety by the side of the father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”

Zhong Youpeng was naturally happy when he heard this, and nodded and said. "So good, so good."

After finishing the business, the atmosphere in the room was relaxed, no longer as formal as just now, and the content of the conversation became a small talk between family members, and the people who had been sent out before were also called in by Zhong Shiwen to serve.

The three of them chatted for a while, and the little girl ring next to Mrs. Zhong came to pass the word, saying that Mrs. Zhong and her daughter had been separated for many days, and they had a lot to say, leaving their daughter and granddaughter by their side at night, and inviting their son-in-law to rest in the guest room, and inviting their son-in-law Haihan to be in the slack.

The daughter whose mother has not seen her for many days talks about herself, which is also human nature, Wang Feng naturally will not object, and even said that there is no problem. After Mrs. Zhong's personal maid left, Wang Feng chatted with the Zhong family father and son for a while, and then came to the guest room to rest under the guidance of the Zhong family's subordinates.

After washing up and sending away the servants who were waiting, Wang Feng did not rest immediately, but took out a pen and paper and began to write a report to Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin and others. In the report, Wang Feng not only carefully recorded the previous conversation with Zhong Youpeng, and wrote down the other party's willingness to clearly express his willingness to meet with the team's decision-makers, but also added his own judgment on Zhong Youpeng's thoughts. ,

Wang Feng said in the report that there is no problem for the other party to accept the team's request, and the only thing that still exists is whether the military liliang in the team's hands is as strong as he said. Therefore, Wang Feng suggested that the committee could show the strength of the "Flying Dragon Army" to the other party in some way when meeting with Zhong Youpeng, or before the meeting. In this way, it can prompt the other party to make up their minds to cooperate fully with the crossing team, and secondly, it can also make them more confident and confident when lobbying others.

As soon as it was hazy the next day, Wang Feng got up early, picked out two of the four guards who came with him, and asked them to set off immediately with the haode report they had written last night, and rushed back to Liangxiang City to report to Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin and others. After receiving the letter, the two guards did not dare to slack off, and immediately left the Zhong Mansion, went out of Fanyang City, and galloped all the way to Liangxiang City.

The two guards went and came back quickly, leaving early on the third day of the first lunar month, and in the evening of the same day, they entered Fanyang City again before closing the city gate and returned to the Zhong Mansion.

Entering the Zhong Mansion, the two guards did not delay for a moment, found Wang Feng as soon as possible, and handed over a letter instructed by Wang Kunjun and written by Zhang Weixin to Wang Feng.

The contents of the letter mainly involved three aspects: first, it affirmed Wang Feng's persuasive work, second, it explained that the committee agreed to Zhong Youpeng's request for a direct meeting, and third, it informed the committee of the time and place of the final decision to hold a meeting with Zhong Youpeng -- the seventh day of the first lunar month, the "cool garden."

As for Weishenme's choice of the meeting place in the "cool garden", which is the most sensitive for the crossing team, Zhang Weixin also explained in the letter. He said that since Wang Feng felt that there was no problem for the other party to accept the team's request through the conversation with Zhong Youpeng, and the only concern was the strength of the military liliang in the hands of the team, then the crossing team might as well boldly show his strength, so that the other party could understand what kind of liliang he was cooperating with.

As for whether the military secrets of the "Flying Dragon Army" will be leaked because of this, Zhang Weixin said that there is no need to worry. He believes that since Zhong Youpeng clearly said in his conversation with Wang Feng that he had also formed allies with many like-minded friends before, secretly developing Liliang, and intending to drive the Khitans out of Youzhou at the right time, then even if he saw some secret weapons of the "Flying Dragon Army", he would not be afraid that he would leak what he saw. On the one hand, the strength of the "Flying Dragon Army" will make its confidence in "anti-Liao" even firmer, and it is impossible to tell the whistle. On the other hand, this kind of strong strength will also make him understand that even if he goes to tell the Khitans, the Khitans can't do anything about the "Flying Dragon Army".

In the letter's Zuihou, Zhang Weixin asked Wang Feng to temporarily live in Zhong's house, and to come to the "Liangyuan" with Zhong Youpeng on the seventh day of the new year - this was mainly to let Wang Feng lead the way for Zhong Youpeng, after all, the latter had never been to the "Liangyuan", and the area around Xiayunling was sealed like an iron bucket by the "Flying Dragon Army", and there was no insider to lead the way, so it was impossible for Zhong Youpeng to be found outside.

After reading the letter, Wang Feng was relieved. He asked the two guards to go down to rest, and he found Zhong Youpeng, conveyed the committee's decision to him, and said that he would stay in Zhong's house until the seventh day of the first month, and then go to the meeting place with his father-in-law.

In this regard, Zhong Youpeng naturally had no objections, and said that he would definitely go with Wang Feng at that time.
