"Mr. Xu came from afar, but this king has always neglected the number of courtesies, which is really the king's. Come, Mr. Xu, this king will toast you first. ”

As he spoke, Shi Feizheng picked up the wine glass, Xu Zhijie hurriedly responded, and also picked up the wine glass, the two touched it, raised their heads and drank it all.

After staggering for a while, both of them were a little drunk, but Shi Feizheng never asked Xu Zhijie about his intentions. Xu Zhijie couldn't hold it back, and took the initiative to speak: "Lord Wang, the lower officials took the initiative to visit this time, but they actually had something to ask for. ”

"Oh?"

Shi Feizheng was really calm, Xu Zhijie said this, but he still didn't take the initiative to ask, and after a sigh, he stopped the handle and didn't continue.

Xu Zhijie knew that Shi Feizheng was deep and scheming, and if he didn't show his sincerity, he would definitely not be able to pry open his golden mouth, so he was really helpless, so he could only say: "Lord, the lower official came this time in the hope that the prince can accept the sincerity of the official." Let this official work for the prince! ”

Shi Feizheng smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, you drank too much and started talking nonsense." This king is just a prince, just like the general soldier, and he is also the emperor's courtier. It is the right way for us to serve the emperor together, how can this king let the general soldier serve him? ”

Until now, it is still strictly guarded, which shows how deep the city government is and how heavy the scheming is, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is impermeable.

Xu Zhijie gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Wang, the matter has come to this, are you still unwilling to open the skylight with your subordinates and say something?" ”

Shi Feizheng pointed to the top of his head with humor and said, "It's night, Mr. Xu, even if you and I open the skylight, we won't be able to say anything." ”

Xu Zhijie knew that if he didn't come up with something that could represent sincerity, he would not be able to get Shi Feizheng to get to the point with him, so he could only take a deep breath and pull out an envelope from his arms.

"Lord Wang, please take a look."

Xu Zhijie said as he respectfully handed over the envelope with both hands.

Shi Feizheng didn't even look at the envelope, but continued to hold the dishes in the dishes and eat silently.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, but there was a bit of solemnity in it.

Xu Zhijie gritted his back molars and forcibly did not raise his head.

After a long time, Shi Feizheng finally broke the silence.

"Mr. Xu should know very well what this move means."

As soon as Xu Zhijie heard Shi Feizheng say this, he knew that Shi Feizheng was finally willing to open the door with him

Seeing the mountain conversation, he no longer looked at him left and right, and said excitedly: "Of course, Xiaguan made a decision after careful consideration!" ”

"Well thought out. It's a word that's so easy to use! ”

Shi Feizheng sighed, finally put down his chopsticks, took the envelope from Xu Zhijie's hand, took out the letter paper, shook it in the air, and read it.

If you don't read it, it's really hard to read it. Shi Feizheng didn't expect that Xu Zhijie's petition would be so powerful.

Xu Zhijie's letter to Shi Feizheng was naturally the secret letter that Gu Panxi asked him to bring a thousand soldiers and horses into Le'an Mansion to prepare to answer at any time in the name of accepting the emperor's review. With this letter in hand, Shi Feizheng was about to detain Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi on the charge of colluding with the local army and plotting rebellion, which was easy.

In other words, what Xu Zhijie gave to Shi Feizheng was a killer weapon that made Gu Panxi never turn over!

"Mr. Xu, you actually ......"

Shi Feizheng was short of words for a while, revealing the shock in his heart, but he quickly restrained his emotions and said: "Mr. Xu, this king didn't expect that you would come to see this king with this generous gift." To tell the truth, this king was very surprised. ”

Xu Zhijie raised his head and said loudly: "Lord Wang, if the lower officials don't have something that they can get their hands on, how dare they come to the door without permission to disturb the prince?" ”

"Alas," Shi Feizheng pressed with one hand, "a small voice." Mr. Xu, this is not a suitable speech for yelling. ”

Xu Zhijie nodded solemnly.

Shi Feizheng thought for a while and said, "Since Mr. Xu is so honest, this king should also treat each other with sincerity." Don't hide it from Mr. Xu, in fact, the relationship between you and the five emperor brothers and sisters, this king, has long known. ”

Xu Zhijie smiled bitterly: "Of course the lower officials know that the prince knows. Rukawa said that, right? ”

Shi Feizheng raised his eyebrows. Xu Zhijie rashly said such a big truth, which really made Shi Feizheng a little unhappy, but he was not disgusted with Xu Zhijie's rectum, on the contrary, he felt that such a person was better to grasp.

"It seems that the fifth brother and sister rely on Mr. Xu very much, and even told Mr. Xu about this kind of thing."

Shi Feizheng knocked on the table and finally asked Xu Zhijie's intention.

"That king wants to ask Mr. Xu, what is the reason that drove Mr. Xu to give a sword to the five emperor brothers, or did he choose to abandon the darkness and come to the king's camp after giving the sword to the five emperor brothers?"

deliberately mentioned the "gift of the sword", Shi Fei was hinting at Xu Zhijie, Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi

Everything he knows, Liuchuan basically knows, which means that he basically knows everything when he is not right. He was admonishing Xu Zhijie not to play any tricks, which would only benefit him at all.

Xu Zhijie had already prepared a set of rhetoric, and waited for Shi Feizheng to ask this question, and immediately gushed: "The reason why Xia Guan used to give swords to Leshan Gongxing was that they valued their friendship with their family teacher. Today, the reason why Xia Guan violated his sword gift ceremony and hoped to switch to the camp of the prince was because of the kindness of Xia Guan and his family teacher! ”

"Huh?"

Shi Feizheng thought about several possibilities, but he didn't expect that Xu Zhijie would give such a reason. As for who Xu Zhijie's tutor is, Shi Feizheng has some impressions, but he is not sure.

"Please forgive this king for being abrupt, Mr. Xu, who is your mentor?"

Xu Zhijie puffed up his chest and said proudly: "Back to the prince's words, the family teacher is the former generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in Dawu, Di Danqing!" ”

Shi Feizheng suddenly realized, and the scattered memories were all connected together.

At the beginning, the story of Di Danqing and Xu Zhijie, the master and apprentice, was once a beautiful story in Le'an Mansion. The little coachman's apprentice, eventually became a generation of generals, studied under the heroes of Dawu, and led the troops to guard Jiangnan Town. This kind of legendary deeds, no matter how anyone talks about it, are full of envy and amazement.

"I see!"

Shi Feizheng felt that this made perfect sense, Di Danqing was kind to Xu Zhijie. Xu Zhijie knew that Di Danqing was in trouble and was assigned to the frontier, and it was entirely possible that he would be willing to use his surrender as a bargaining chip in exchange for the new emperor's amnesty for Di Danqing in the future.

However, it is possible, it makes sense, it is possible, it makes sense, and it is not possible to believe this. The reason is simple, what kind of friendship and righteousness, in the eyes of Shi Feizheng, is just a high-sounding hypocritical rhetoric that can be beaten down with enough price, and it is not worth a damn at all.

Unless Xu Zhijie can come up with a more powerful reason, Shi Feizheng will definitely not win his trust.

Shi Feizheng said with a smile: "General Xu is concerned about the situation of the old general, and hopes that this king will be able to contribute in the future and ask his father for an amnesty." This heart, the king understood, and was very moved. It's just Mr. Xu, you just want to achieve this goal, you don't have to do so many things. With your merits, identity, and status, you will write a request openly, and your father will not necessarily refuse ruthlessly. Why would you risk your future and destiny to do such a thing? This price, too, is a bit too great. ”
