"Zhao Anyi? Xu Xinsheng? Wang Kunjun was stunned for a moment when he heard these two names, and then he realized which two people the old housekeeper Deng An was talking about. It's just that while remembering who these two people are, a big question mark also appeared in Wang Kunjun's mind.

Although these two people had some dealings with each other when they led their brothers south to meet Chai Rong, and they also sent the current intelligence department and the audit team at that time to contact him when they led their brothers south to meet Chai Rong, and they no longer had more frequent and deliberate contact with the other party on the side of the crossing team. At most, Xu Shao'an and others, who stayed in Kaifeng, met with Zhao Anyi a few times in the process of dealing with Zhao Pu. And Xu Xinsheng, who was also a traverser, was too snobbish and too realistic when the crossing team invited him to join, and he was very disliked by Wang Kunjun, Zhang Weixin, Xu Shaoan and other members who participated in the "southward audience". Therefore, even during the period when Xu Shaoan and others stayed in Kaifeng, the brothers never met him again-even if Xu Shaoan and others went to Zhao Pu's mansion more than once to attend a banquet or visit. After the "Kaifeng Detention Office" was revoked and Xu Shaoan and others returned to Beiping City, the crossing team cut off all contact with Zhao Anyi and Xu Xinsheng. Now, in the case that the two sides have not seen each other for several years and have no contacts, the other party has come to Beiping City to see him during the Chinese New Year, especially in the delicate period when the situation in the Later Zhou Dynasty may be variable, which cannot but make Wang Kunjun ask a few more weishenme about the visit of Zhao and Xu.

After pondering for a while, Wang Kunjun instructed Deng Andao: "Let the concierge deacon lead the guests to the side hall of the middle courtyard to sit for a while, and you go and invite the seventh and eighth brothers to the study of the back house, and say that the master has something to discuss with them." ”

"Yes, the villain will go and please." Deng An hurriedly agreed.

After distributing Deng An, Wang Kunjun stretched out his hand to lift his little daughter off his neck, and said in a harmonious voice: "Daddy has business to cook, and Xiao Yueyue is going to play with her mother, brothers, and sisters." ”

Although this Wang Yue is young, he is extremely smart. She saw that although her father spoke in a gentle tone, but his face was serious, she understood that her father did have something to do, and it was definitely not something that could be stopped by her coquettish tricks - if she insisted on not letting her go, she would be reprimanded by her father. So, she nodded obediently and obediently transferred from her father's neck to her mother's arms.

Because Zhang Weixin and Xu Shao'an did not live alone outside in order to facilitate their affairs, and also to add more popularity to the huge Jiedu Mansion, they lived in the Jiedu Mansion like Wang Kunjun, so after receiving the notice from the old housekeeper Deng An, the two basically went to the study with Wang Kunjun, and did not let the fifth brother wait.

After Zhang and Xu were seated, Wang Kunjun told them the news of Zhao Anyi and Xu Xinsheng's visit, and then asked them what they thought about the matter.

Wang Kunjun's voice fell, and Xu Shao'an answered: "This Zhao Anyi is just that, when my brother was left behind in Kaifeng, he also had a lot of dealings with his brother, and they were also familiar with each other. No matter what the purpose of his coming to Beiping City this time, from his brother or from Zhao Kuangyin's side, there is still a little friendship. Since he came to visit him thousands of miles away for the New Year, we have to see him no matter what, and do our best to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. After all, even if we don't give him face, we have to give his brother Zhao Pu and his brother's boss Zhao Kuangyin a little face.

As for that Xu Xinsheng, my brother really doesn't know how he still has the face to come to see us. I thought that when we were in Kaifeng, we saw that he was also a traverser, thinking that everyone had a common experience and would always be closer emotionally, so we took the initiative to invite him, hoping that he could join our team and come to the north with us to develop and work together. As a result, let us be sincere three times and five invitations, but we still ended up with a 'hot face and a cold ass', people didn't appreciate it at all, and they didn't want to go with us. On the contrary, with his half-baked historical knowledge, he thought that he could predict the general trend of the world, and felt that the world would inevitably belong to Zhao Kuangyin and his brothers in the future, so he wanted to follow Zhao Pu's side, and through Zhao Pu, he finally climbed the big tree of Zhao Kuangyin and achieved his so-called achievements. A snob, like this, let's see what he is doing, just send him back to Kaifeng and then hug Zhao Kuangyin's thigh. ”…,

"Old eight, don't be impatient, don't be rash in this matter." Zhang Weixin warned on the side, "No matter how snobbish that Xu Xinsheng was, what kind of 'dog's eyes look down on people', and how he rejected us thousands of miles away, we can't deal with him when he comes to Peking this time." As the saying goes, 'don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha', since he Xu Xinsheng came with that Zhao Anyi this time, what he represents is not him personally, but the person behind the scenes who sent them to visit thousands of miles away. And judging from the identities of Zhao and Xu, the person standing behind them behind them is Zhao Kuangyin.

Although, with our strength, we are not afraid of Hou Zhou ministers like Zhao Kuangyin or Zhang Yongde, and we don't care about their perceptions, likes and dislikes of our Beiping Army. But now that it is an eventful autumn for the Later Zhou Dynasty, whether we can accurately grasp the intentions and trends of the important ministers in the Later Zhou Dynasty plays a very important role in our realization of the 'Jianye No. 1 Action Jihua'. As the saying goes, 'know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not lose in a hundred battles'. While instructing 'Dark Feather' to make every effort to investigate the movements of the Later Zhou court, it is also an effective supplement to understand the thoughts of its leaders through people like Zhao Anyi and Xu Xinsheng who are close to Zhao Kuangyin. Especially when the other party takes the initiative to get close to us and communicate with us, it is a rare source of information. Therefore, I think we should not only meet Zhao Anyi and Xu Xinsheng, but also show that we want to fully communicate with them and their main messengers behind the scenes. We should communicate and contact them more often, and find out the purpose of their trip to the north in the shortest possible time, so that we can come up with a plan to deal with it in a timely manner, so as to obtain greater benefits. ”

"What the seventh brother said is reasonable, and it coincides with what he considered before being a brother." Wang Kunjun nodded in agreement, "Brother Wei also thinks that this matter is not a trivial matter, and our brothers must deal with it carefully." When communicating with Zhao and Xu, everyone should pay attention to their attitude, their words and deeds, and be neither humble nor arrogant. No matter what the purpose of the other party's trip is, we should not easily agree or refuse the other party's request or request, but should be cautious and be sure to give the other party a clear answer after careful discussion and discussion with the brothers. ”

"Fifth brother is right, we should deal with it like this." Zhang Weixin expressed deep support.

At this time, Xu Shaoan had also calmed down, and he felt that the analysis of the two brothers was very reasonable. Therefore, he also nodded and said, "What the two elder brothers said is extremely true, and the younger brother is too reckless. ”

Seeing that Xu Shaoan was able to correct his attitude in time, Wang Kunjun also put his mind at ease. He got up and said, "In that case, then our brother will go and meet the two guests who have come from thousands of miles to visit, and see what kind of medicine is sold in their gourds." ”
