Shule Country is one of the few countries in the Western Regions that can block the power of Jinpeng Castle, and it is no wonder that no powerful country wants too many killers to exist inside, and Gu Shenwei placed Xu Xiaoyi here, which is the most important reason.

He himself had never been to Shule City, and the intelligence had to be collected by Xu Xiaoyi.

Jinpeng Fort has a branch in the city under the banner of the dart bureau, the scale is not small, there are more than 100 dart masters, to undertake the normal dart business, but there are rumors that there are a lot of killers hidden in the dart game, Xu Xiaoyi has accurate information about this, he stretched out a hand, "just five, no more, no less, a minister told me, it will never be wrong, however, don't underestimate these five people, one of them is the knife master in the stone castle, called Xiang Kai, usually does not show up much, in fact, everything is in charge of him, the head of the dart is just a decoration." ”

Xu Xiaoyi believed that the assassin was sent by the sword master Xiang Kai, "He has a group of people who specialize in inquiring about the news, and they have been staring at me in recent months, I'm afraid these two people are not here to kill you, but to me." ”

No matter who Ben came, as long as he inquired nearby, the whereabouts of the people in Daxue Mountain would be exposed, and Gu Shenwei decided to move immediately.

The manor was rented by Xu Xiaoyi and the people turned a few corners, and it was not a pity to give up, he personally took ten children away that night, and the place where the killer was trained must be kept secret, the specific location was only known to him and Gu Shenwei, and the others stayed in an inn outside the city overnight, but they were divided into two groups, moved in one after another, and pretended not to know each other.

Fang Wen was shocked, he was more afraid of the Dragon King, but his respect had not increased, killing people and fighting for hegemony were two different things, those who were good at the former might not be suitable for the latter, whether this young killer was the "Ming Lord" or not, Fang Wen felt that it remained to be seen.

Therefore, when the Dragon King asked about the national situation of Shule, Fang Wenye replied simply and concisely, "The king is not very in charge, and the government is handed over to his younger brother Shi Xian, and he concentrates on his own pleasure, so the object of this lobbying is not so much the king as the prime minister." Ten thousand taels of gold must be indispensable, Prime Minister Shi Cheng is a tiger who only swallows money, if he doesn't fill his stomach, it is impossible to attack Jinpeng Fort by taking advantage of the road. ”

"Are you sure to convince him?" Gu Shenwei had to be suspicious, Jinpeng Fort had been operating in the Western Regions for many years, although he had a weak foundation in Shule Country, he had a wide range of contacts, and the second young lord Shangguan Tian lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion, which has already shown that the two sides have a close relationship, Gu Shenwei still remembers that when Mrs. Meng killed the eldest young master, several young masters also hid in Shule country to seek refuge.

Fang Wen is ability was questioned, just like the killer's knife technique was not trusted, his right hand was raised, stopped in the air, and made a very firm posture, "If you want to say that you are very sure, that is my bragging, nine points can still be guaranteed, I am prepared." Now that I represent the Great Snow Mountain, if I don't accept Prime Minister Shi, I will immediately fall to the ground, do you think I will joke with my life?"

Gu Shenwei bowed his head slightly and apologized, "What Mr. Fang said is that everything is up to Mr. Fang. ”

However, things were not so simple, and the next morning, the atmosphere inside and outside Shule City changed.

The encirclement and suppression of the Great Snow Mountain was not a battle for the whole country, and after a few months, it did not have much impact on the lives of ordinary people, and all of a sudden, the officers and soldiers became nervous, and there were heavily armed soldiers patrolling everywhere, and inns were inspected from house to house, and all outsiders had to explain their intentions and stay time, and they had to show the customs clearance spy documents for entering the country.

Fortunately, Xu Xiaoyi had already prepared, the customs clearance spy document had already been prepared, the seals and so on were readily available, and he also brought a few packages of goods, so that Gu Shenwei and others could fake businessmen.

The swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain are rude in appearance, attracting people's attention, they are all hiding in the house, you Fang Wen is to come forward to do everything, bribery this kind of thing, he did a lot of things at the gate of the powerful when he traveled around the world, the family belongings are so corrupted, the so-called light car familiar with the road, two groups of officers and soldiers in succession were easily sent away by him, without arousing any suspicion.

In the afternoon, Xu Xiaoyi sneaked over and brought news that this city-wide search was directly ordered by the prime minister, and obviously, the guests of Jinpeng Fort already knew that Daxueshan had sent people to infiltrate Shule City.

Gu Shenwei talked with Xu Xiaoyi alone for a while to understand the personality of Prime Minister Shi Xianshi.

Xu Xiaoyi's statement is not quite the same as Fang Wen, he has lived in Shule for a long time, although he has not seen Prime Minister Shi Cheng himself, but he has had dealings with many ministers, and what he said seems to be more credible, "Prime Minister Shi is a little greedy for money, but it is also very giving, the silver passes through his hands, and it can be spent in a few days, there is a natural disaster ** or something, the Prime Minister's Mansion opens a warehouse and releases grain faster than the national treasury, and the people in the city have not received the benefits of the Prime Minister? As for being lustful, men, who is not lustful, oh, you are not lustful, but people are prime ministers, and it is normal to raise dozens of concubines." ”

"Listening to you say this, Prime Minister Shi Cheng has no shortcomings?"

"Not really. Xu Xiaoyi pondered for a while, "Prime Minister Shi Cheng has a temper, the lower you are, the more polite he is, the more noble you are, the more arrogant he is, so the people like him, and the ministers can ...... But no one dared to squeak, Mr. Fang was right in saying that Shule's government was in the hands of the prime minister. ”

"It seems that this 10,000 taels of gold is not easy to give. "Gu Shenwei is worried that Prime Minister Shi Cheng has great ambitions, and since he has formed an alliance with Jinpeng Castle, he may not accept bribes from Daxue Mountain.

Xu Xiaoyi's eyes lit up, "That's what I mean." "In fact, what he feels distressed about is 10,000 taels of gold," I know that a staff member under the general can make him turn a blind eye and zoom in on the snow-capped mountains through Shule Country for less than half the money. ”

Gu Shenwei shook his head and said nothing, Xu Xiaoyi thought too simply, if there was no official recognition from Shule Country, attacking Jinpeng Fort by means would put Daxue Mountain in a situation where he would be attacked by the enemy, Fang Wen's choice was not wrong, but Jinpeng Fort had already seized the opportunity, and things would be much more difficult to do.

"This Prime Minister Shi ...... How's the guts?"

Xu Xiaoyi didn't understand what Brother Huan meant, he stretched out his hand and scratched his head, the childish and confused expression on his face couldn't even hide the beard on his lips, and slowly woke up, "I don't know much about this, but every time the prime minister travels, he must be hugged before and after, and the guards are all raised by him at his own expense, and Xiang Kai, the sword owner in the Jinpeng Dart Bureau, is said to often serve as the prime minister's personal guard." ”

Gu Shenwei had a point in his heart, and asked yesterday's question again, "Did Zhang Ji come with Shangguan Tian?"

"No, is this Zhang Ji very powerful?" Xu Xiaoyi handed over a hand-copied list to Gu Shenwei, with a total of more than 30 names on it, and sure enough, there was no Zhang Ji.

"It's hard to say. Gu Shenwei didn't explain much, in his mind, the most ideal strategist should be Zhang Ji, not Fang Wen, compared with these two people, he felt that Zhang Ji had a better chance of winning.

But now he can only choose to believe that Fang Wens is this arrogant scholar claims to have a way to persuade Prime Minister Shi, Gu Shenwei decided to gamble on him, staying in the Great Snow Mountain has no future after all, whether it is to fight for hegemony or revenge, there is no possibility of realization.

Fang Wen stayed in the guest room and became more and more restless, it has been three days since he came to Shule City, and he has not seen a tael of gold, and the Dragon King has disappeared inexplicably, leaving only one sentence, "Wait for my news, don't go around." ”

What news, and when? I didn't say anything.

As a military advisor, Fang Wen felt that he did not have complete trust, and he was not too worried about this, the fate of the strategist has always been like this, and only after the establishment of miraculous merits will all the doubters be surprised.

Imagining the surprise of the Dragon King and the swordsmen of the Great Snow Mountain, Fang Wen is heart calmed down a little, and repeated the prepared words in his heart, feeling invulnerable, who in Shule Country would support Jinpeng Fort after hearing this?

Thinking of the smug place, Fang Wen couldn't help but laugh out loud, then sneered, turned around, and found a swordsman standing at the door, looking at him with surprised eyes, "The Dragon King wants to see you." The swordsman said.

Fang Wen was very dissatisfied in his heart, this group of swordsmen is always like this, there are no rules, they don't knock when they enter the house, and they speak coldly.

Gu Shenwei came back from the city, and as soon as he saw the military advisor, he asked, "Mr. Fang, are you bold enough?"

"Big enough, bold is the most basic requirement for a strategist, do you think, no sword, no power, dare to fight in front of the emperor, can you not be bold?"

"That's good, I've taken care of the gentleman, you can set off and go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and as soon as you enter the city, someone will hand over the gold to you." ”

The progress of the matter was a bit hasty, but just now he boasted that he was bold enough, Fang Wen did not want to show hesitation, besides, he had been preparing for many days, and he could play at any time, so he bowed his hand slightly, "Please wait for the good news here." ”

Gu Shenwei nodded, "Mr. Lao." ”

Fang Wen only brought one swordsman as an entourage, and the two rode into the city, Xu Xiaoyi really waited at the gate of the city, followed by ten big men, carrying five large wooden boxes.

Fang Wen was very moved, the strategists got the operating funds on their own, and they wanted to get some kickbacks according to the custom, but he was good, he couldn't even see anything like gold.

This is the first step, Fang Wen thought, just like doing business, you have to invest money before you can make money.

The group came to the Prime Minister's Mansion in the evening, and there was no need to report it, someone came out to greet them, Xu Xiaoyi stopped at the door and did not follow in.

The amount of money sent is really different, Fang Wen is heart sighed, back then he bribed the porter for only five taels or ten taels of silver, often like a stone sinking into the sea, not to mention the powerful, even the housekeeper with a high status can't be seen.

This time it was different, first a housekeeper came out to greet him, and then a chief eunuch entertained him in the living room, and in less than a pillar of incense, Shi Xian, the prime minister of Shule State, appeared.

Prime Minister Shi Cheng's face is majestic, but his attitude is very kind, and he speaks decently, so that Fang Wen feels like a spring breeze, in his heart, this is the appearance of a hero who competes for hegemony in the Western Regions, but unfortunately, he is destined to only assist a defecting killer.

However, Prime Minister Shi Cheng did not give Fang Wen a chance to persuade him, but said that he would find an opportunity to introduce the envoy of the Great Snow Mountain to the king, and as for when, he had to wait slowly.

In less than a moment, the meeting ended, ten thousand taels of gold were carried away, and there were no guests to eat, Fang Wen walked out of the living room in a daze, and his good impression of Prime Minister Shi Cheng was swept away, and he felt deceived, and he was in a low mood, and he didn't know how to explain to the Dragon King.

Fang Wen was thinking about his thoughts, and walked outside the house, and as soon as he arrived at the gate, he heard someone shouting behind him: "Stop him!"

More than ten guards showed their weapons, Fang Wen was startled, and the swordsmen around him stepped forward, but they didn't bring heavy swords, so they could only meet the enemy with their bare hands, and there was no chance of winning.

The chief eunuch caught up angrily, "What a big boldness, take it for me!"

As soon as the guards swarmed up, Fang Wen plucked up his courage and asked, "Chief, where did this matter begin? There is a way that the two countries will not ......kill each other."

"Don't cut off a fart!" the chief eunuch was so angry that his face turned red, and he even said swear words, "Why is there half a human head hidden in the box you sent? Who cut it off?"

Fang Wen shook his body and almost fell, and finally understood what the Dragon King meant by asking him if he was bold.
