Jiang Wuxian said that he needed to enlist Zhou Shikai's assistance, which made Yan Chen scoff, and in his simple cognition, it was a great shame to negotiate or trade with the enemy.

But he still didn't say anything, because he himself understood that he was not that material. If Chu He wants to take over the Liang army smoothly, he still has to listen to Jiang Wuxian's essence.

Chu He thought for a while and said, "You mean, continue to use King Xiao Ming and Zhou Shikai to make a deal and force him to comply?" ”

Jiang Wuxian nodded, "Exactly, I want to use King Xiao Ming's life in exchange for Zhou Shikai to help us do three things." ”

"What three things?"

"The last two haven't been thought out yet, but the first thing is already clear. If you want to take over the general's class, Brother Chu, you still need a great merit to be able to block the mouths inside and outside the Liang army. ”

Chu He suddenly became interested, "What great achievement?" ”

"Gu Qingshan."

"Who?" Chu He was very unfamiliar with this name and had no impression.

At this time, Yan Chen interjected: "It is the Zhendong general of Shengguo, whose status in the Eastern Territory Army is second only to Zhou Shikai, and the cronies of Emperor Shengguo were placed in the Eastern Territory Army in order to balance King Ming." ”

Chu He suddenly understood, "The relationship between these two people is very stiff, if we ask Zhou Shikai to help, it is estimated that he will be happy to send us this favor." ”

Jiang Wuxian smiled and said: "Exactly, this matter is a good thing for Zhou Shikai to kill two birds with one stone, and he has no reason to refuse." And after killing Gu Qingshan, the second leader of the Eastern Territory Army, this great achievement was even enough for Brother Chu to ascend to the position of the general army of Liangzhou. ”

"Then in the future, Zhou Shikai really helped us do three things, Xiao Mingwang, are you going to return it as agreed?"

Jiang Wuyi said with a straight face: "Of course." Zhou Shikai will not cooperate with us endlessly just because Zhou Yan is in our hands. If that's the case, he wouldn't be worthy of being the king. ”

After a pause, Jiang Wuxian continued: "And when King Xiao Ming returns to Shengguo, the role may not be less than when he was locked up here. ”

Chu He pondered for a long time, and asked, "That'...... Will the general agree to release him then? ”

Jiang Wuxian immediately smiled, and smiled very brightly, "Brother Chu, you will be a general by then." ”

Chu He also smiled, but did not speak.

"But if we want Zhou Shikai to trust us and agree to make a deal with us, we must let him see with his own eyes that his son is still alive." Jiang Wuxian said.

Yan Chen suddenly became interested when he heard this, "Then do we have to go and see King Xiao Ming?" I haven't seen him since I got back. ”

Jiang Wuxian nodded with a smile, "I think so too, what do you think, Brother Chu?" ”

Chu He raised his eyebrows, "Do you know where he is being held?" ”

"Of course."

"Then let's go, go meet this old friend."

The three of them hit it off and immediately decided to go to see Zhou Yan, the king of Xiao Ming.

King Xiao Ming was not taken to the Liangjun prison, but was arranged by Duan Jaw in a remote dwelling, strictly guarded, and there were countless secret posts in the Ming Gang.

After all, Zhou Yan's identity is special, and maybe he will be useful in the future, so he was only restricted from moving, eating and drinking without worry, and he was not punished.

Because it was useless to be punished, when he had just arrived at Dachong Pass, Duan Jaw was slightly frightened, and King Xiao Ming confessed what he knew and what he didn't know in the Eastern Army.

Facts have also proved that what Xiao Ming Wang said is true, but it is not of much use. Obviously, he is just a vase in the Eastern Army, and the real core affairs are not accessible at all.

Under Jiang Wuxian's guidance, the three of them walked through more than a dozen streets and alleys in a twist and turn, and finally stopped in front of a dilapidated alley.

Looking from the outside, you can see that the alley has been abandoned for many years, the walls of the houses on both sides are covered with fine cracks, and there is a thick layer of fallen leaves on the path, which has obviously not been cleaned for many years.

The whole alley is a depressed scene, and there is no popularity, and it is indeed a good place to imprison the big people.

For Duan Jaw's careful and decent actions, Chu He was no longer surprised.

As soon as the three of them stepped into the alley, a secret whistle immediately appeared.

"My subordinates have seen the Major General, Chu Sizuo, and Master Jiang."

This Liangjun secret sentinel, at a glance, he knew that he was an elite, and his martial arts cultivation should also be in the second realm, facing Chu He, the three of them were neither humble nor arrogant, and saluted calmly.

Although Jiang Wuxian is doing a lot of things now, because of those reasons in previous years, he does not hold a position in the Liang Army.

But as long as the soldiers of the Liang Army recognized him, they would respectfully call Master Jiang.

Especially now everyone in Dachongguan knows that Jiang Wuxian is the first cronie of Chu He, and his future is very bright.

Chu He had a good impression of this secret whistle, because he spoke first about the young general, and then Chu Sizuo.

Now many people have ranked him in front of Yan Chen, although Yan Chen doesn't care about it, but Chu He can't help but care.

"Lead us over to meet King Xiao Ming." Yan Chen said.

The sentry nodded, and led them deep into the alley.

It was a small yard, but it was quite regular, surrounded by a small brick wall.

Two soldiers were standing guard at the door, and when they saw people, they hurriedly saluted. After learning about the intention of Chu He, he did not hesitate to open the gate of this courtyard for them.

In the corner of the small courtyard, there was a small wooden basin, and a plainly dressed woman sat next to it, scrubbing the clothes inside.

This woman who is sweating like rain and washing clothes is the daughter of Hao Datong, the richest man in Qushui, Hao Yue.

At this time, Hao Yue didn't have the appearance of a young lady, she was dressed in linen clothes wet with sweat, her hair was messily coiled together at the back of her head, and she couldn't be called a beauty, at most she was a village woman with charm.

Zhou Yan sat on a wooden chair in the courtyard, sitting very stiffly, his eyes were blank, staring blankly ahead, not knowing what he was thinking.

As the gate was pushed open, the two people in the courtyard looked up at the same time.

There was a hint of anger between Hao Yue's eyebrows, he should have felt that he and His Royal Highness King Xiao Ming had been disturbed in their alone time, and he was very dissatisfied.

And Zhou Yan was terrified, although Liang Jun had never tortured him, there were still some necessary intimidations.

What he is most afraid of now is that a group of people suddenly rush in one day, and then pull him to the entrance of the vegetable market and cut him, so he is very sensitive to the sound of opening the door.

After seeing that it was Chu He who walked in, Zhou Yan was shocked and retreated again and again, but he felt that it was not safe to retreat anywhere, and suddenly saw Hao Yue, who had already stood up, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw, and hid behind her. Then he stretched out half of his head and looked at Chu He vigilantly.

Chu He walked over with a smile and patted Zhou Yan's head.

"How is Brother Zhou doing, are you used to living with us? Is there enough maids? ”
