It seems that this King Hecheng is not much of an opponent, so now let's see what the rest of the princes will do.

In fact, for these princes, the eighth prince is not any resistance at all, because although the eighth prince is in the capital, he has not formed a gang in the court.

And he has no money or soldiers in his hands, so he can be said to be a free prince, but when he takes the heir, they will try to get rid of any threatening prince.

Therefore, if the Eighth Prince continues in this state, he will not be able to escape death sooner or later, so it depends on how Zhao Mocheng persuades the Eighth Prince.

An hour later, they finally arrived at the city of Mengzhou, but at this time it was already dark, and Mengzhou had also entered the curfew time, and the city gate would not be opened.

However, Li Zhu didn't care so much, and shouted directly towards the city tower, "Come out and open the city gate." ”

Although his voice fell, a general in armor appeared on the city wall, looking at the group of three, full of thoughts.

"Who are you, don't you know that Mengzhou has entered the curfew time now? Hurry up and get out of town, and come back tomorrow morning. ”

The general said disdainfully, although the security of Mengzhou City is good, some things still cannot be guarded against, and the curfew is also very normal.

However, Yun Xiaoshuang was not in a hurry, took out the waist card of the eighth prince, and then gave Li Zhu a look.

"The Eighth Prince's waist card again, who dares to stop it?"

Li Zhu took the waist card and continued to shout loudly, and the general on the city wall also had a shocked look on his face.

Because the sky was very dark, and the distance was relatively far, the general couldn't see the sign clearly, but he didn't dare to slack off.

In case it was really the Eighth Prince's person who came, he blocked people out of the city, and he couldn't eat and left.

"Wait a minute, I'll go ask for instructions."

The general hurriedly spoke, and then turned away from the city wall.

Yun Xiaoshuang and the three of them were not in a hurry, they were just waiting here, anyway, she knew that no matter how powerful Mengzhou City Zhizhou was, she would not dare to offend the Eighth Prince.

Sure enough, after a while, the city gate opened, and a man in official uniform walked out with some soldiers and horses.

"Everyone, I am the governor of Mengzhou City, my name is Zhang Ji, please show me the waist card of the eighth prince, I will confirm it."

The man in the official uniform got out of the carriage and said respectfully.

Yun Xiaoshuang nodded, and then handed the waist card to Zhang Ji.

Zhang Ji hurriedly took it over and looked at it carefully, although he had never seen the waist card of the eighth prince, but he had seen other princes.

Judging from the material and some details, this waist card is real, he was stunned, he didn't expect that the eighth prince in the capital actually sent someone to Mengzhou.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in, please forgive the officials for being rude, after all, I am also thinking about the people of Mengzhou City."

Zhang Ji hurriedly got out of the way, invited the three of them in, and then didn't forget to explain.

Yun Xiaoshuang nodded, this is understandable, although Mengzhou City is far away from the war and the law and order is good, but it also has to guard against some small people.

After entering the city, Zhang Ji directly invited the three of them to the City Lord's Mansion and sat in the hall, Zhang Ji sat in the main seat, and the three of them sat in the guest seat.

"I don't know what happened when you came to Mengzhou City so late? Could it be that the eighth prince has some orders? ”

Zhang Ji asked cautiously, in fact, he had no contact with the Eighth Prince, and he had never met.

Therefore, he was very puzzled in the face of the arrival of Yun Xiaoshuang and the others, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he could only ask respectfully.

If it was someone who saw the Eighth Prince coming before, Zhang Ji would definitely not be so respectful.

Because before, the eighth prince had a bad reputation among many princes, and he was an idle prince who had been eating his old books in the capital, and he only knew how to play every day.

So in the eyes of these officials, this eighth prince is a wine bag and rice bag, just a good background, and a prince, so he was crowned the prince.

But in fact, he has no ability, so it is easy to look down on the eighth prince.

But since the Eighth Prince and Zhao Mocheng repelled the army of the Lanhan Grassland at the border pass and made the number of people in the Lanhan Grassland surrender, they knew that this Eighth Prince was not incapable.

On the contrary, he is very capable, but he has always been low-key, and he is open-minded by nature, and he doesn't care at all about others looking down on him.

Therefore, after the arrival of Yun Xiaoshuang and the others, Zhang Ji was so cautious and respectful, after all, they were the people who had just repelled the Eighth Princes of the Lanhan Grassland Army.

Moreover, the news that the eighth prince married the princess of Lanhan Prairie has also spread, although it was because of Yun Xiaoshuang's design that they got married.

But outsiders don't know the inside story, just imagine, how can the person who can make the Khan of Lanhan Prairie look at it, how can it be a wine bag and rice bag.

"Eh, Lord Zhang, we have been tired of traveling and driving, and we have been ambushed on the road, and we are already tired, let's talk about it tomorrow, please help us arrange a place to live."

Yun Xiaoshuang Shi Ran stood up and did not directly explain the purpose of his visit, after all, now is not the time to talk about things.

And deliberately exposed the fact that he was ambushed, so that Zhang Ji knew in his heart, after all, this is the boundary of Mengzhou City, and let the Eighth Prince know that she was ambushed, Zhang Ji couldn't eat and walked around.

Sure enough, hearing her words, Zhang Ji was frightened and hurriedly spoke, "Okay, I'll arrange it immediately, I will send someone to divide the troops, and there will definitely be no accidents." ”

After Zhang Ji finished speaking, he went out to make arrangements, looking at Zhang Ji's back, Yun Xiaoshuang smiled slightly.

"Brother Li, you work hard, go investigate this guy, any news is fine, I will see which side this guy is on."

Yun Xiaoshuang arranged it, and Li Zhu nodded hurriedly.

When he was in Wanhua City, Li Zhu was mixed in the rivers and lakes, so he knew the rivers and lakes very well, and he was more handy in finding out the news.

After Li Zhu responded, he went out directly, and after a while, Zhang Ji came over.

Although he was a little surprised that Li Zhu was gone, he didn't ask, after all, Yun Xiaoshuang was sent by the Eighth Prince, although he had no official position, but he didn't dare to offend.

"Please come with me, adults."

Zhang Ji whispered, and then walked forward, while Yun Xiaoshuang and the others followed behind him.

In the end, Zhang Ji took them to the place behind the City Lord's Mansion, which was the most prosperous place in the entire Mengzhou City, and the largest restaurant was here.

"This is the largest restaurant in Mengzhou City, of course, it must not be comparable to the capital, so please take care of the adults more, Mengzhou is just a small place, this is already the best place."

Zhang Ji pointed to the restaurant in front of him, and then explained.

"We don't choose, just have a place to live, thank you Lord Zhang for arranging, tomorrow I hope that Lord Zhang will spare some time for us, so that we can talk about business."

Yun Xiaoshuang nodded, she was still quite satisfied with his arrangement, it seems that the identity of this eighth prince is still very useful.

After discussing the time to meet tomorrow, Yun Xiaoshuang and Murong Ye went directly upstairs and returned to their room.

However, after returning to the room, she was not in a hurry to sleep, but was waiting for news from Li Zhu.

No matter what the investigation finds, Li Zhu will definitely come back in the evening to report, although he looks silly and silly, but he is also very smart in some aspects.

Because Li Zhu knew that she would use the news to find a way to negotiate with Zhang Ji tomorrow, he would definitely come back to report.

Two hours have passed, and Li Zhu has not come back yet, but she is not in a hurry, she just sat there and waited, and just ordered the restaurant to send a table of wine and food.

Along the way, she ate dry food, and the birds faded out of her mouth, so while eating and drinking, she waited, and the time passed quickly.

And at this moment, there was a knock on the door, three long and one short, this is the code that taught him before, and Li Zhu learned it quite quickly.

She didn't speak, but opened the door directly, and Li Zhu flashed in directly, sweating profusely and panting.

"Hurry up and sit down and rest, thank you for your hard work, no tail."

Yun Xiaoshuang hurriedly asked him to sit down, and then poured him a glass of wine, Li Zhu immediately drank it all, and then shook his head.

"Madam, don't worry, there is no tail, and it seems that Zhang Ji doesn't know that you will investigate him, there is almost no obstacle along the way, and the investigation is very easy."

Li Zhu said suspiciously, which made Yun Xiaoshuang a little surprised.

A person like Zhang Ji who can be a Zhizhou is definitely not a fool, he must be a smart person.

So he should have been able to guess that Yun Xiaoshuang went to investigate him, but he didn't stop him, so there were only two situations.

The first is that he is a fool and can't guess that Yun Xiaoshuang wants to investigate him.

And the second is that he is not afraid of investigation at all, and the whole person is clean, combined with Zhang Ji's previous performance, she is more inclined to the second type.

"This is only thirty-three years old, but he is very capable, when he first took office, the security in Mengzhou was very bad, bandits were rampant, bandits were also rampant, and people's hearts were completely lost."

"At that time, he took the only 3,000 men and horses in Mengzhou, and in only three days, he wiped out the strongholds of seven bandits, so that the bandits did not dare to go down the mountain at all."

"Since then, his reputation has been famous, and in one year, the security of Mengzhou City, which was rampant at the beginning, has become very good, and the people's livelihood is rich."

"This person is very powerful in both military and internal affairs, I heard that two princes sent people to him before, trying to win him over, but he has never expressed his position."

"According to the speculation on the rivers and lakes, he should still be waiting to see whose side he is on, but Mengzhou City is now strong and strong, rich in money and food, and it is the object that all emperors will compete for."

Li Zhu put down his wine glass, and then told everything he investigated, which was very useful to Yun Xiaoshuang.

And what he investigated should be right, Li Zhu is a very cautious person, and untrue news will not be spoken, so it should have been determined that it is true.

From this point of view, this Zhang Ji is indeed a talent, and he is an all-round talent.
