"Since Lord Xiangguo no longer suspects that there is a fake, then the younger generation has to put forward his own conditions."

Han Zeng had always been curious about what kind of conditions Shao Xi would put forward to let him read this letter, but he also guessed that this condition would never be a simple trivial matter, it must be very harsh.

"Xiaoyou just speak bluntly, tell the old man about your conditions, and the old man is willing to hear the details."

Shao Xi was deliberately silent for a moment, seemingly thinking about whether this condition should be proposed? How should I present it? In fact, Shao Xi was deliberately hanging Han Zeng's appetite.

Han Zeng already believed that Shao Xi was holding the incriminating evidence that could bring down Fu Zuoliang, and he was impatient to see the content of the letter and the person who wrote it.

At this time, Shao Xi's silence made him feel tormented, just like a bowl of braised pork in front of a person who had been hungry for a long time, but he didn't let him eat it in his mouth, and that feeling was quite uncomfortable.

And Shao Xi wanted to make Han Zeng feel this way at this time, the more he hung him, the easier it was for him to accept the price he offered.

"Lord Xiangguo, now that the juniors have taken Fu Zuoliang's incriminating evidence in their hands and sent it to you, the juniors have shown their sincerity, so before letting Xiangguo read this letter, the juniors also hope that Xiangguo can show full sincerity and take out the secret letter exchanged with the Jingyuan Dynasty in your hand for the juniors to watch one or two, so that it can be regarded as a fair deal."

Han Zeng's face changed drastically when he heard this, first shocked, then surprised, and finally angry.

Shao Xi's request seemed to Han Zeng to be a provocation to him, after all, in the court of Southern Zhao, he had always been a loyal and patriotic minister on the public stage, and he was an auxiliary minister appointed by the first emperor.

Now Shao Xi's words are equivalent to lifting out his old bottom and tearing off his disguise, and the high-sounding words he said before are like a joke at this time.

As the saying goes, everyone is ugly, and not revealing is a master. Shao Xi's move is tantamount to exposing his ugliest side, and in such a straightforward way, it is simply a humiliation for him, making him a clown in front of Shao Xi, how can he not be angry?

Han Zeng's face was full of anger, and he took the case.

"Lord Shao! I respect you as an envoy sent by the Jingyuan Empire, and I have always respected you, and because I trusted you, I consulted with you about eradicating the traitors between the two countries. Now you have splashed dirty water on the old man's body, slandering the old man for colluding with traitors in the Jingyuan Dynasty, I don't know what Lord Shao's intentions are? What good is it for Lord Shao to frame the old man like this? Could it be that Lord Shao has already colluded with that Fu Zuoliang, in order to conspire with me in the future? ”

Shao Xi had a mysterious smile on his face, and when Han Zeng finished speaking, he waved his hand at him, signaling him not to get excited, and to sit down and talk.

Han Zeng could have directly ordered Shao Xi and Lao Wu to leave Xiangguo's mansion, but looking at the secret letter in Shao Xi's hand, he was really unwilling to let go of the opportunity to bring down Fu Zuoliang, so he held back his anger and sat down again.

"Lord Xiangguo, although the younger generation is much younger than Lord Xiangguo, I am not a child anymore, and Lord Xiangguo doesn't have to act for me anymore. We Mingren don't say secret words, there are people in the Jingyuan Dynasty who secretly contact with the people in the Nanzhao Dynasty, this is no secret to you and me, and the only powerful ministers in the Nanzhao Dynasty are the Xiangguo Lord and the general, even a young junior like me knows, don't those big people in the Jingyuan Dynasty know? Since someone sent a secret letter to the general, how could it be that no one could get in touch with you, Lord Xiangguo? The juniors came today with enough sincerity, if the Juniors feel that the juniors are abrupt, then the matter will be stopped, and we will return this letter to the General's Mansion tonight, as if nothing had happened. Anyway, who wrote the secret letter to the general, the juniors already know, and they can be regarded as being able to make a deal when they go back, as for the affairs of your Nanzhao Dynasty, the juniors are not involved, please take care of yourself. ”

After speaking, Shao Xi got up and was about to leave Xiangguo Mansion with Lao Wu, but this time Han Zeng was taken by Shao Xi.

If they are let go and return this secret letter to the General's Mansion as Shao Xi said, then this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will slip away from his eyes.

But at this time, Han Zeng didn't know what Shao Xi was doing, and he didn't know what the purpose of his move today was, and he didn't dare to show his hole cards easily for a while, so when he saw Shao Xi getting up to leave, he was also very entangled in his heart.

After seeing Shao Xi bow and salute, he turned around and walked towards the door with Lao Wu, and saw Shao Xi raise the secret letter in his hand and hand it to Lao Wu beside him, which seemed to mean that Lao Wu would go to the General's Mansion again tonight to return the letter to its original place.

It was this move that made Han Zeng feel like a hundred claws scratching his heart, the only opportunity to defeat Fu Zuoliang in so many years was in front of him, but seeing that he was going to miss it, Han Zeng was ten thousand unwilling in his heart.

In fact, Shao Xi, who was facing away from Han Zeng at this time, was also up and down in his heart.

Pretending to leave just wanted to force Han Zeng to make the final choice, but how Han Zeng would choose, he actually didn't know the bottom in his heart.

If Han Zeng didn't keep him and let him and Lao Wu leave, then the plan would have been completely frustrated, but since he wanted to force Han Zeng to compromise, he couldn't leave him any room for maneuver, otherwise with the cunning of Han Zeng, the old fox, he would definitely choose a more secure way to get the secret letter in his hands.

And now Han Zeng has no choice, either give up this opportunity and continue to fight with Fu Zuoliang in the court in the future, or show his hole cards and seize this opportunity. It is precisely because Shao Xi grasped Han Zeng's psychology that he dared to take the risk of forcing Han Zeng to take a step, and success or failure was also in one move.

"Little friend, please stay, the old man was just excited, and his words were a little inappropriate, and I hope that Xiaoyou will not take it to heart. Let's sit down and talk about something slowly, why should Xiaoyou be in such a hurry? ”

Hearing Han Zeng's words to save himself, Shao Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, his face still did not change, and he turned to Han Zeng with a smile and said: "The junior has made it very clear to Lord Xiangguo, this is a transaction between you and me, since it is a transaction, it is to be equal to the price, and now that the junior has issued a price code, if Lord Xiangguo wants to continue this transaction, he must come up with his own price code." There are no benefits in this world, and the juniors are not contributing to Lord Xiangguo for free, and the juniors just want to know who I am in the middle of the court to contact Lord Xiangguo, as for Lord Xiangguo, is loyal or traitorous to Nanzhao, and what does it have to do with me? It is up to Lord Xiangguo to decide for himself. ”

Shao Xi's words have been made very clear, I just want to know from you Han Zeng who is colluding with foreign countries in my Jingyuan Dynasty, as for how you Han Zeng has nothing to do with me. If you want to see the secret letter in my hand, then you have to show me the secret letter in your hand as well, and I don't accept the empty glove white wolf.

Han Zeng hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Shao Xi: "Since Xiaoyou has already said this, then the old man must also show his sincerity, please sit down with this old gentleman and wait for a while, and the old man will come when he goes." ”

With that, Han Zeng invited Shao Xi and the others to sit down again, and he turned around and entered the back hall.

After Han Zeng left the main hall, Lao Wu handed back the secret letter in his hand to Shao Xi, and secretly gave Shao Xi a thumbs up.

Although Shao Xi was not 100% sure of his move, he knew one thing, that is, what he had in his hand was too tempting for Han Zeng.

As long as he has chips in his hand, the other party will bow his head after all, and he believes that Han Zeng knows very well in his heart that if he does not cooperate with himself, it will be tantamount to pushing himself to Fu Zuoliang, and today he and Lao Wu walked out of Xiangguo Mansion, and only Fu Zuoliang can cooperate with him in the entire Nanzhao.

Instead of pushing a partner with chips in his hand toward his enemy, let that partner look at his or her hole cards.

It didn't take long for Han Zeng to walk out with a secret letter in his hand that was the same as the secret letter that Fu Zuoliang gave to Shao Xi, but he didn't hand it to Shao Xi immediately, but sat back in his place, looked at the secret letter in Shao Xi's hand without saying a word, just looked at Shao Xi with an inquiring gaze, as if he hoped that Shao Xi could hand over the secret letter in his hand to him to watch first, and then he would show Shao Xi the secret letter in his hand.

Shao Xi laughed secretly in his heart, this old fox is really cunning, this is because he is afraid that he will regret it after reading his secret letter, and he will not show him his secret letter again. But in the same way, why should I let him watch it first? If he regretted not showing it to himself after reading it, wouldn't he suffer a loss?

So an old fox and a little fox stared at me with wide eyes, I look at you, and neither of them would hand over the secret letter in their hands first.

And the older fox sitting next to him looked at the two of them like this, you stare at me, I stare at you, and suddenly lost his temper.

"I said that one of the two of you is the dignified Nanzhao Xiangguo, and the other is the history of Jingyuanguo's four-product supervision, how can you be like two children? Since we say that we are cooperating, we must trust each other, so that it is interesting for you to look at me and I look at you? Wouldn't it save a lot of trouble by simply exchanging at the same time? Don't take advantage of anyone, and then change it back after reading it. ”

Shao Xi and Han Zeng felt that Lao Wu was reasonable, and it was better to exchange secret letters at the same time than to continue like this, and after reading the content, the two exchanged the secret letters back. In this way, both sides have mastered the secrets in each other's hands, and their own secrets have also been mastered by the other party, and each other has no secrets, and then there will naturally be no psychological burden when they cooperate, which is better than you guarding against me and I guarding against you like now.

So the two stood up at the same time, both handed over with their left hands and their right hands, exchanged the secret letters in each other's hands, and opened them to look at them carefully.
