Fu Zuoliang was a little puzzled at this time, Shao Xi was just hoping for the stability of relations between the two countries, and now he was the most opposed to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, why did he say this to himself?

"I don't understand Lord Shao's words, if Lord Shao wants the two countries to be safe and sound for a long time, the old man should be the biggest obstacle in this, and the person who has always advocated promoting the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries is Han Zeng, Lord Shao doesn't talk to him about this matter, why do you want to talk to the old man?"

Shao Xi saw that the time was almost up, and it was time to express his intentions and thoughts.

"Does the General know about the attack on the mission in the Jiakou Valley? Is this the general's mastermind? ”

"The old man has heard about this matter, and the DPRK and China are already privately rumoring that the old man is the mastermind behind it, and he sent someone to intercept and kill the mission. The old man didn't bother to explain, they could think whatever they liked, anyway, the old man was against diplomatic relations between the two countries from the beginning, no matter how he explained, no one would believe it, the right was my doing, what could they do? ”

"So can the general have a master with superb sword skills and martial arts to the fifth grade? Can the generals of the DPRK and China use swords to achieve five grades of martial arts? ”

Fu Zuoliang didn't even think about it, and replied without hesitation: "In the army, there are very few people who can reach the fifth rank in the martial arts realm, and Lord Shao, there happen to be two people like this, the one who uses the knife is Xu Yinbiao, the commander of the Black Flag Guard, and the one who uses the sword is Han Xiao, the commander of the Purple Flag Guard. It's just that Han Xiao is Han Zeng's nephew, and he dragged Jiang He to the Wenchen faction, so now the two brothers don't interact much because of their different positions. ”

After Shao Xi heard this answer, he couldn't help but glance at Lao Wu, who nodded at Shao Xi and secretly gave a thumbs up.

It seems that things are indeed as Shao Xi analyzed, Han Zeng sent people to attack the mission, and the person who led the team was his nephew Han Xiao, and because he and Xu Yinbiao were brothers, they were very familiar with Xu Yinbiao's knife skills, so they used Xu Yinbiao's knife skills to hide from the world, and then deliberately left a few live mouths to provide confessions, attracting everyone's attention to Fu Zuoliang.

"Since the general just mentioned that the juniors are involved in the affairs of your Nanzhao court, do you want to mess up your court? The juniors can now tell the generals that whoever destroys the diplomatic relations between the two countries is the enemy of the juniors. Although the general has always been opposed to diplomatic relations in words, he has never taken actual action, and he wants to stop it by legitimate means, and although the general's actions are not in the interests of the two countries, at least he has not resorted to despicable means. And the person who really attacked the mission, and the person who really wanted to destroy the relationship between the two countries, was Xiangguo Han Zeng, so the general thinks that between you and him, what will I choose? What would I do? ”

Fu Zuoliang showed a look of surprise, he couldn't have imagined that Han Zeng, who had always advocated the establishment of diplomatic relations with the Jingyuan Empire, was actually the mastermind behind the attack on the Jingyuan Mission.

The person who wanted to destroy the diplomatic relations between the two countries the most was actually him, not himself, which made Fu Zuoliang's mind suddenly become confused, he really couldn't understand why the other party did this? Isn't that tantamount to helping yourself? What is his purpose?

"Lord Shao, how did you determine that the mastermind behind the attack on the mission was Han Zeng? What you just said is really incredible, and the old man really can't believe that Han Zeng would do such a thing. Although the two of us have been checking and balancing each other for many years, if he did this, I need you to give me a full explanation, otherwise the old man is really unbelievable, why did he do this? ”

Shao Xi saw that the time was ripe at this time, and he could completely let Fu Zuoliang understand the other side of Han Zeng, so he stated the analysis he had made with Lao Wu last night to Fu Zuoliang again, and analyzed the various possibilities that had not yet been determined.

Fu Zuoliang listened silently while nodding his head from time to time, it seemed that he also agreed with Shao Xi's analysis. After Shao Xi finished speaking, Fu Zuoliang let out a long sigh.

"I can't think of it! Over the years, it has been rumored that the old man has colluded with some people in your Jingyuan Dynasty in order to continue to control the power of the court, but it is Han Zeng and his ilk who do not want to really do such acts. Now it seems that the rumors that have framed me over the years have also been spread by them, one is to suppress me, and the other is to cover up their own actions. ”

Seeing that Fu Zuoliang had already believed his words, Shao Xi felt that this was the time to strike while the iron was hot, so he said: "The younger generation said that whoever destroys the establishment of friendly relations between the two countries is the enemy of the younger generation. Now the general only verbally expresses his dissatisfaction, but he has never done sabotage, and Han Zeng is silently doing sabotage, so who does the general think is my enemy? Who should I help? The first thing is to ask the general to help me find and analyze the evidence of Han Zeng's collusion with someone in the Jingyuan Dynasty; The second thing is to hope that the general can tell me frankly who in the Jingyuan Dynasty once contacted the general, and wanted to persuade the general to collude with him inside and outside to plot to create turmoil in the southern border of Jingyuan? ”

Fu Zuoliang looked at Shao Xi like a ghost, as if Shao Xi had gotten into his brain and knew the secret he had been unwilling to tell.

At this time, he felt how terrifying the young man in front of him was, as if he could see through people's hearts, so that he had no secrets to speak of.

"How did you know that someone in the Jingyuan Dynasty had contacted the old man? How did I know that the purpose of his contact was to persuade the old man to collude with him inside and outside to create chaos in Lingzhou? ”

Shao Xi smiled and did not answer Fu Zuoliang's question, but continued: "I also know that he once persuaded you to take the Zhao family to replace him, and promised that you would assign some counties south of Lingzhou to you Nanzhao, but is there such a thing?" ”

"You're ......!"

"How do I know? Actually, I guessed, but it's not hard to guess. The idea that your Nanzhao sent an envoy to my Jingyuan Dynasty was Han Zeng's idea, and you just said that you did not object, and the matter of the envoy itself is very suspicious, so I naturally guess that the envoy sent this time is not just to show goodwill to Jingyuan, but must have some contact with some people in the Jingyuan Dynasty. Now it seems that the person who wants to get in touch with someone in our court must be Han Zeng, who advocates sending an envoy. Since the general and Han Zeng are both important ministers of Southern Zhao, and someone colludes with him, then there must be someone who will hit the general with their ideas, so the things I said just now do not need to be seen, as long as a little analysis can get the answer. ”

Fu Zuoliang was already dumbfounded at this time, a person didn't need any evidence, he could deduce and analyze the truth of the matter just by relying on some clues, what was this person thinking in his head?

Fu Zuoliang felt like he was stripped naked and stood in front of Shao Xi, he was picked up by Shao Xi without saying anything, and Shao Xi revealed the deepest secret in his heart, this person was really terrible.

After saying this, Shao Xi didn't speak again, just looked at Fu Zuoliang quietly, waiting for him to tell the secret he wanted to know. He believed that Fu Zuoliang would say that since he had been picked up so cleanly, there was no need to hide it at this time, and it would be more frank to say it.

At this point, both sides fell silent, and neither of them spoke again, except for the sound of cicadas in the trees outside the house, which was loud and rhythmic, like a countdown before the secret was revealed.

Finally, Fu Zuoliang raised his head and looked at Shao Xi as if he had made a great determination, and said: "You guessed right, there is indeed someone in the Jingyuan Dynasty who has sent a secret letter to me, and the content of the secret letter is no different from what you guessed just now, if it weren't for the special identity of this person, I really doubt that the letter was written to me by you, or you have read the letter." ”

"Has the general ever replied to this person?"

Fu Zuoliang shook his head, and said with some emotion and some sadness: "The old man and young man joined the army, and he had to be loved by the emperor first, and then entrusted with the important task of being alone, how could he betray Nanzhao?" Although he has been criticized by others in recent years, and even some framed, the old man still has not changed his original intention. I just want to expand the territory for Southern Zhao and build an immortal empire, Nai's luck is not good enough to compete with the Jingyuan Empire in the Central Plains, but at least this idea has always been in my heart. But despite this, the old man is also from the military, how can he do those unfortunate things? One day, even if the old man wants to set foot on the land of Jingyuan Kingdom, he will fight it with his own skills, not with these dirty methods, so I disdain to be in the company of these people, and naturally I didn't give the other party any reply. ”

Although Shao Xi admired Fu Zuoliang's integrity, he was disdainful of his so-called ambition. For the sake of their own ideals and aspirations, they disregard the life and death of the people, and are bent on acquiring the land of other countries by means of war, and are unwilling to coexist peacefully with them.

Real development depends on cooperation, and the fist can only have the final say, and as a small country, it should not have such delusions.

However, other people's thoughts are not Shao Xi's business, all he thinks about is to protect the interests that he should protect. Since he is an envoy of Jingyuan, all his thoughts and actions are in line with the interests of Jingyuanguo, as for Fu Zuoliang's extravagant hope of stepping on the land of Jingyuanguo, Shao Xi also feels that there is no need to persuade him.

Only when the head is broken and the blood is bleeding can people know how to turn back, and persuasion cannot be persuaded to come back.

"General, at the moment, whether it is to you Nanzhao or to me Jingyuan, the biggest threat at the moment is this Han Zeng, and dealing with him will be beneficial to both of us. The important thing is that dealing with him is also good for you, the General, but it doesn't seem to be good for me. ”

Fu Zuoliang saw that this was also a master who could not afford to be profitable, but there was nothing wrong with what Shao Xi said, everyone would do what was beneficial to both countries, and this matter was also beneficial to himself, but he really couldn't see any benefit to Shao Xi.

After all, if you don't deal with Han Zeng now, Shao Xi's mission will basically be completed, but it is you, a person who has always opposed the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, why should people help you in vain?

If Han Zeng is a threat to Jing Yuanguo, it will never be a greater threat than Nan Zhao, right?

Fu Zuoliang lowered his head and thought for a while, and said to Shao Xi: "If you have a way to help our Nanzhao get rid of this traitorous minister, I will hand over the secret letter from Jing Yuan to you in return." ”

This is what Shao Xi was waiting for.

"It's a deal!"

Some people died, but not completely......
