Suzhou!

Since Xia Gui came to this city, the people here seem to have become much better than before.

If they are hungry, there will be food from the Song army, if they are cold, there will be cloth from the Song army, and if they have any problems, there will be Song troops to come and help solve them.

All in all, it's a place of harmony!

However, light and darkness always go hand in hand.

No, in that county office, when Zhang Mo had just pushed open the door and was about to rest, he felt extremely nervous when he saw the person in front of him, and his two calves began to tremble.

Because he knew that as long as he made any move, the person in front of him would quickly take his life.

"Dare to ask General Liu, why did you suddenly come here today?"

Leaning over, Zhang Mo asked in a low voice.

"You've been doing well these days. Glancing at the room, Liu Guojie whistled, and then asked, "How many benefits have you received from Song Jun these days?"

With a "poof", Zhang Mo knelt directly on the ground, and begged in the center of his mouth: "General." Don't guess, my loyalty to the Khan can be seen in heaven and earth, the sun and the moon, and there is no problem at all. ”

"Heh! It's just to scare and scare you, do you have to take it seriously? But if you continue, I'm afraid that you will also be Song Chen. In this way, there are some benefits. Liu Guojie smiled, and then sat on Zhang Mo's bed, and the soft quilt made him make a happy voice: "But there are really a lot of good things in the Song Dynasty, if you change me, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist!"

"What General Liu said is that the lower officials will definitely correct it in the future and will never do it again. ”

Zhang Mo dared to stand up straight at this time, but his legs were still slightly bent, and he never dared to straighten his waist, and then asked in a low voice: "It's just the general, why are you here today?"

Seriously, if it weren't for Liu Guojie's sudden appearance, Zhang Mo would not be able to remember that he was still a Hanchen who belonged to Mongolia.

These days, he has been too nourishing and slacking off on many things.

"Hey. I almost forgot what I had to do. Liu Guojie patted his head, and then remembered: "You also know." Recently, our army has consumed a lot of grain and grass, so I asked you to prepare 3,000 stone of grain and grass, do you know?"

"Three thousand stones, so many?" Zhang Mo replied in surprise.

Liu Guojie's expression was stunned, and then he shouted: "It's only three thousand stones, is this a lot? Don't think I don't know, the food you got from Song Jun is more than that." ”

"This, please forgive General Liu. After all, my family is young and old, but they are all waiting for dinner. Zhang Mo showed a faint blush and replied embarrassedly.

Liu Guojie laughed and said: "You can eat 3,000 stone in a month? Your family has a lot of food! Don't talk nonsense, prepare 3,000 stone of grain in three days! If the appointment is not completed, I will take your head anytime and anywhere, understand?"

Although they are both Hanchen, Liu Guojie does not have much respect for corrupt officials like Zhang Mo.

If he hadn't relied on the other party to pass on information, he was afraid that he would have taken off the other party's head at the beginning, and he wouldn't have said it for such a long time.

After Liu Guojie left, Zhang Mo breathed a sigh of relief and made a sad face: "Alas." It was easy to get a little food from the Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect it to be gone again in a blink of an eye. Alas, it's a pity!"

Although he had the intention to refuse, his strength was not strong, so he naturally had to swallow his anger and accept the matter.

——————

Weifang.

After a few days, Miao Daoyi and Yue Cun also came here with Pu Shougeng.

What is rare is that Pu Shougeng kept struggling at the beginning, saying that he was innocent, but when he got close to Weifang and was likely to meet Zhang Hongfan, he was relieved, and even talked and laughed with everyone, not knowing what he was thinking.

As for that Miao Daoyi, he also frowned, secretly thinking about countermeasures.

That Zhang Hongfan is not such a thing as Xie Ru, let alone a confrontation, but how to escape is a difficult problem.

With something on his mind, Miao Daoyi stepped into Zhang Hongfan's mansion and made a mockery to the person sitting above: "Poor Miao Daoyi, I've seen the general." ”

His apprentice Xing Zhen, because of his humble status, did not take it with him, but let him stay in the post station to rest.

"I have heard that Your Excellency has a profound Taoism, and it is really good to see it today. Please also take a seat. Zhang Hongfan pointed to the stool that had been prepared a long time ago, and his face was also full of praise: "Regarding the matter of Dengzhou, fortunately, there is a Taoist chief who has made a move, otherwise I am afraid that our army will suffer heavy losses." ”

His cultivation is naturally much higher than Miao Daoyi, but the earth immortals are quite rare, and he can cultivate to the level of Miao Daoyi, which can already be regarded as one in ten thousand.

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Hongfan saluted Miao Daoyi!

"The general is too modest. If it weren't for the general's action to stabilize the Central Plains region and prevent it from being invaded by the Song Dynasty, where would there be such peace?" Miao Dao replied loudly.

Zhang Hongfan waved his hand again and again, and said with a bit of self-humility: "Alas. I'm just a rough man, where can I have such strength? I can only achieve such a performance under the guidance of Khan. It's just that I heard that the Taoist leader is a member of the Quanzhen Sect, so I don't know if I have any plans to be born?"

"Born?"

Miao Dao secretly said that it was not good, and began to be vigilant.

Obviously born and secretly tempted, it is obvious that he has been suspected by the other party.

Zhang Hongfan asked again: "That's right." After all, if you have such a talent, wouldn't it be a pity if you were always huddled in the mountains and forests? If your Excellency had any intention of being born, I would certainly explain it to the Khan on your behalf. I believe that Khan was also overjoyed when he heard this. When the time comes, the revival of the Quanzhen Religion will also be in the palm of your hand!"

"Is the Quanzhen Sect being revived? The general laughed! The Quanzhen Sect is now in the hands of my senior brother Zhang Zhiqian, and although it cannot be said how prosperous it is, it is also better than it is stable, and it is not as usual that it is stormy and stormy. Such a scene, thanks to the work of the senior brother alone, how dare I have a beak?"

Miao Daoyi shook his head and denied it.

"And I've long been accustomed to the life of this idle cloud and wild crane. If it hadn't happened to that kind of thing, I wouldn't have done it. ”

"Okay. Since Mr. has ambitions for this, it is a pity. ”

Zhang Hongfan didn't continue to persecute, but was a little curious, and asked again: "It's just the Taoist chief, but I don't know how long you plan to stay here?"

"Maybe three or five days. When the matter is over here, I plan to go to Suzhou!" Miao Daoyi complained.

Zhang Hong Fan Qi said: "Suzhou? Why is it there?"

"It's also a sad thing. My apprentice Xing Zhen, he was originally from Suzhou, and because he missed his hometown, he begged me to take him home to see how the situation was!" Miao Daoyi said.

Zhang Hongfan smiled: "Is that the case? Then I wish Mr. a smooth journey." But I don't know if there is a vacancy for the Dao Master, if so, why don't you let me prepare some salutes for the Dao Master?"

"The poor road is used to idle clouds and wild cranes, and these things outside the body are not allowed too much. Miao Daoyi thanked him, and then bowed and said goodbye.

After Miao Daoyi left, Zhang Hongfan was a little suspicious, and muttered: "How many secrets are you hiding? No matter what, sooner or later, one day, I will find out." For Miao Daoyi, he has long been suspicious, but he has been suffering from no evidence, and the other party has also accumulated a lot of reputation because of his good deeds, so he has not moved.

"Li Ting. You go and call Pu Shougeng, I have something to ask him. After giving an order, Zhang Hongfan asked Li Ting to call that Pu Shougeng again.

Li Ting followed the instructions and quickly found Pu Shougeng.

"Are you the Pu Shougeng in Xie Ru's mouth? When I saw it today, I was surprised. Looking at the other party's very different appearances, Zhang Hongfan said thoughtfully.

Pu Shougeng snorted lightly, raised his hands holding the chains, and shouted: "Oh? Look at you, it doesn't seem that you intend to condemn me?

"Absolutely. Zhang Hongfan waved his hand, and the chain was untied.

Pu Shougeng rubbed his wrist, only to feel extremely sore: "Very good." Can you tell me why you got me here?"

"Huh. You're direct. ”

Zhang Hongfan smiled, looked at the other party with interest, and continued to ask, "It's just that I'm curious." Why are you sure I'll let you go? After all, you've killed my men. It makes sense that I should kill you and avenge my men!"

"I'm sorry. You are wrong about two things! First, I didn't kill your men, and second, I'm here because I was planning to join forces with you, not because you wanted to see me. Because with my strength, it is impossible for your subordinates to trap me. ”

A trace of anger appeared on Pu Shougeng's face, and there was also a light on his body.

"Oh, you seem to be hiding a lot of things. ”

Zhang Hongfan looked surprised, just because from the other party, he felt that the strength was no less than that of Miao Daoyi, and it was obvious that the other party was also ill-intentioned in this trip, otherwise he would have escaped with his own strength.

Pu Shougeng then put away his strength and replied: "No way." This world is too dangerous, and if I am not prepared, I am afraid that I will be swallowed up anytime and anywhere. As it turned out, it was the right choice. ”

"Good. Tell me, then, what can you give me?" Zhang Hongfan put away his smile and fell on the other party's face obviously more serious.

For these colored people, Zhang Hongfan has also seen a lot.

Because of the different regional cultures, these people will never shy away from talking about things like the combination of interests and negotiation betrayal, and the reason why the other party came here is only afraid that there is also a purpose, so they took this opportunity to appear on the other side.

Pu Shougeng took out a letter and said with a smile: "What I gave you is all here." Of course, all this is only if you can meet my requirements. Got it?"

Although his strength is inferior to Zhang Hongfan, Pu Shougeng is still full of confidence and believes that he has the possibility of success.
