Chapter 121: The Secret Meeting (Part II)
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
Since Zhou Shikai knew that the leisurely big man opposite was Xu Conghu, he directly gave up the idea of doing it.
He didn't expect Xu Conghu to appear here.
According to the information he got, Chu He and Xu Conghu should be a pair of rivals, but now they are coming side by side.
And it is said that Xu Conghu was seriously injured and stayed at home in his own house. But looking at him now, how can there be any traces of injury?
Zhou Shikai secretly scolded the group of wastes in charge of intelligence in his heart, and when he went back, he must seriously rectify it, lock up a group, and kill a group.
Then he finally focused his attention on the main lord of today's meeting, Chen Shi's righteous son, Chu He.
Looking at this young and handsome, calm and confident young man, Zhou Shikai suddenly felt a little jealous.
He thought that if his son could be like Chu He, who was able to compete with the famous Xu Conghu at a young age, then he wouldn't have to say good things and sell smiles to the court for a hereditary matter all these years.
Chu He walked in front of Zhou Shikai and showed his signature smile, "Your Excellency King Ming." β
The old fox Zhou Shikai didn't even look at Zhou Yan, but squinted and looked at Chu He with a smile, as if he was looking at his own juniors.
"Chu Sizuo has been in the dust all the way, it's really hard."
Chu He shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not hard, Brother Zhou Yan and I hit it off at first sight and call each other brothers." I can take him to see His Excellency King Ming today and help him fulfill his filial piety, which is what I should do, so why hard? β
Zhou Shikai's expression stiffened slightly, but he was still not annoyed, and said sideways: "The wind and sand outside are too big, let's talk in detail in the account." β
Chu He nodded, and led everyone to enter, and Shazhuang Tuo walked at the end, looking at Zhou Yan and Hao Yue.
Jiang Wuxian looked at Chu He's back, revealing a hint of admiration.
Just now, Chu He faced the famous Ming King Zhou Shikai, and he did not fall into the slightest.
Both sides stepped into the gauze tent, Zhou Shikai sat on the chair, and Chu He also sat opposite him.
Zhou Shikai was still quite surprised, since Chu He sat up, it meant that he was the head of the group opposite.
He really couldn't imagine what this young man had to make Xu Conghu subordinate.
It is said that Xu Conghu was seriously injured by this Chu River, which made Zhou Shikai have to feel jealous, and subconsciously withdrew his chair and kept a little distance from him.
After the two sat down face to face, the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while, so Zhou Shikai turned his head to look at Zhang Di, "Don't you pour wine for Chu Sizuo?" β
When Zhang Di heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward, lifted the wine jar, and began to pour wine into the jade bottle.
At this time, Xu Conghu suddenly smiled and said, "This wine shouldn't be poisonous, right?" β
The air in the tent suddenly stagnated.
Zhang Di, who was holding the wine jar and pouring wine, heard this, his hand suddenly shook, and the edge of the wine jar hit the jade bottle, almost knocking it over the table.
At this moment, the people of Shengguo, including Zhou Shikai, the king of Ming, were all scared into a cold sweat.
The four generals secretly wiped their sweat, before they decided to smash the cup, if the jade bottle really fell to the ground, then they couldn't make a move?
Shooting is definitely not Xu Conghu's opponent, and if you don't make a move, you will disobey military orders, delay the fighter, and there will be no good end.
Zhou Shikai glared at Zhang Di fiercely, and personally reached out to move the jade bottle that had reached the edge of the table back to the middle of the table.
"Haha, General Xu said with a smile, this wine is our Shengguo's famous wine Jin Fenglu, how can it be poisonous? Hahaha......"
Zhang Di stumbled and filled the two jade bottles, and then retreated. After slamming the jar to the ground, he wiped a handful of cold sweat from his head.
In order to show that this wine is not poisonous, Zhou Shikai is also bold, saying that he will do it first as a respect, and he will drink it all when he raises the jade bottle.
Chu He didn't relax his vigilance because of this, he had watched a lot of costume TV series and knew what a yin and yang pot was, so even if Zhou Shikai drank his cup, he didn't dare to trust the other party so easily.
What's more, Zhou Shikai may still be doing tricks and feet on his cup, and he has to guard against it.
So Chu He made a drinking appearance, but he didn't actually open his mouth, but his lips touched the wine.
After putting down the jade bottle, Chu He hurriedly wiped his mouth with his cuffs, which can be said to be foolproof.
Zhou Shikai glanced at the jade bottle in front of Chu He, and didn't say anything, after all, there was still something important to talk about today, not a dinner invitation.
He glanced at Zhou Yan, who was hiding behind Hao Yue, a little depressed, thinking about how he could give birth to such a waste son in his heroic life. If it weren't for his physical condition, he would have thrown Zhou Yan to fend for himself in Dachong Pass, and then gave birth to two more.
Through several previous communications, Zhou Shikai already understood that he was not going to return his son this time, but he could see that he was still alive, so there was something to talk about.
Zhou Shikai cleared his throat and wanted to try again, "Chu Sizao? β
"Huh?" Chu He still had a standard smile on his face.
"As long as I can release this little beast, I am willing to pay any price, and you can mention it as long as I can do it."
Chu He raised his eyebrows, thinking to himself why Zhou Shikai was still so naΓ―ve this week, so he wanted to tease him.
"Yes, as long as His Excellency King Ming is willing to exchange the river drum road, we will naturally release Ling Gongzi."
Zhou Shikai's face suddenly looked ugly, to be honest, if he was the emperor of Shengguo, he would really be willing to use this land in exchange for his son to come back, but unfortunately he was just a prince and couldn't be such a big lord.
If he really gave the River Drum Road to Liang Jun, then he wouldn't have to be the prince.
At this time, Xu Conghu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "Zhou Shikai, I still advise you to think about it, anyway, Hegu Dao will have to be beaten down by us sooner or later, it is better to change his son back, it is also a little valuable." β
Xu Conghu's words made the faces of several people on the Sheng Guo side in the gauze tent change, especially Zhou Shikai, whose face was gloomy and could drip water.
He has already begun to weigh the pros and cons in his heart to see if he should turn his face on the spot.
At this time, Chu He laughed and opened his mouth to play a round.
"Hahaha, just kidding, don't take it to heart Your Excellency King Ming."
Zhou Shikai squeezed out a reluctant smile, wanting to drink to hide his mental activities, but found that the wine bottle had been emptied by himself just now.
Chu He turned his head and glanced at Zhou Yan, and then said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that we don't want Ling Gongzi to come back, it's mainly that Brother Zhou eats, drinks and has fun in Dachong Pass, and he doesn't want to go home, am I right, Brother Zhou?" β
Zhou Yan suddenly found that everyone was looking at him, and he was stunned on the spot, not knowing what to say.
"Brother Zhou, am I right?" Chu He repeated it again with a smile.
Zhou Yan finally reacted, and then nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, yes, I don't want to go back." β
