Episode 10 Chapter 148


Chapter 148 Shao Yu didn't know much about the situation in the eight counties of Ningbei and knew that it was the Cai family who was currently in charge of the overall situation, he thought that Cai Gui was just a nobody in the Wind Country, but he didn't expect it to be a member of the Cai family.

He glanced at Li Ting beside him, and then said with a smile: "I don't know it's Cai Gongzi, disrespectful and disrespectful."

Cai Gui smiled: "Lord Shao is polite" After a pause, he said with a straight face: "Abandoning the darkness and turning to the light is the only way out for Lord Shao, continue to stand on Shao Fang's side, and sooner or later he will be killed." ” Shao Yu pretended to be surprised and asked, "How can Cai Gongzi say this?"

Cai Gui said: "In order to protect his orthodox status, Shao Fang wantonly killed the Shao family, does Lord Shao think Shao Fang can tolerate you?"

Li Ting answered: "But not long ago, the king specially sent a document to Xishan County, praising the lord for being loyal to the country of Mo and loyal to the king. ” Cai Gui smiled and said: "Can't Mr.

Li Ting see that this is Shao Fang's pacification strategy Now Shao Fang wants to use troops against the Jade Kingdom on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wants to fight with me in the wind, what he is most afraid of is internal chaos, he is now appeasing Lord Shao, he hopes that his backyard will not catch fire, and once he has his free hand, I am afraid that Lord Shao will also follow in the footsteps of many murdered relatives of the same clan."

"Yes, yes, yes" Shao Jun hurriedly echoed: "What Lord Cai said is reasonable, the virtuous nephew should think twice."

Shao Yu's mind is comparable to Shao Jun's, and what Shao Fang's mind is, how could he not think of it Betraying Shao Fang and turning against the Wind Country is indeed a way out for him, otherwise he would not have greeted Shao Jun so ceremoniously.

The key is that the stakes are high, the choice he has to make now is related to the life and death of the entire Xishan County and his entire family, and he has to think carefully, and he will not show his attitude until the last step.

In his opinion, the best way now is not to offend both sides, leave two ways for himself, no matter who wins or loses on both sides, he will not be cornered.

Shao Yu's idea was strongly supported by his confidant Liu Ting, who believed that he could not openly tear his face with Shao Fang now, nor could he blindly fight to the end with the Fengguo side.

He looked embarrassed, shook his head at Shao Jun and smiled bitterly, and said: "Uncle, it's not that my nephew doesn't miss the same clan, but my nephew also has his own hardships, and my nephew has to think about this matter carefully." ” He didn't refuse his surrender, Shao Jun was already very satisfied, where did he dare to be too anxious, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, yes, this is a major matter related to the future of the virtuous nephew after all, and it should be carefully considered." ” Cai Gui sighed secretly, this Shao Jun, in the end, does he know which side he is on Now he also roughly understands Shao Yu's thoughts, he wants to be a wall grass, fall on both sides, do not offend on both sides, and leave two ways for himself to retreat, such a person is also the most difficult, fortunately, he has long expected such a situation and made corresponding preparations.

He smiled slightly, and said meaningfully: "The tree wants to be quiet, and the wind is not only Lord Shao's friendship with Shao Fang, but I am afraid that Shao Fang will not show mercy to Lord Shao's subordinates."

Shao Yu and Liu Ting both frowned and asked, "How do you say this?"

Cai Gui said slowly: "Han Zhong and Yuan Tian don't run east, don't run south, but run west, and escape into Xishan County, whether this is a coincidence or premeditated, no one can tell" He clicked, deliberately leaving room for Shao Yu and Liu Ting to reverie.

Shao Yu and Liu Ting were stunned for a moment, then laughed on their backs, and said: "The terrain of my Xishan County is dangerous, and it is reasonable for Han and Yuan to take refuge in Xishan County. ” "Yes, then we'll wait and see," Cai Gui said with a light smile.

Shao Jun and Cai Gui visited Xishan County and were warmly received by Shao Yu, who treated the two as guests, sent special personnel to protect them, and sent special personnel to wait for them, so that the two of them could live peacefully in Fengyang.

But during the time they lived in Fengyang, although Shao Yu was treated with good wine and food every day, he didn't mention business, and he never clearly stated his attitude, it was obvious that he was procrastinating, hoping to delay until the day when the situation was clear before making a choice.

If the wind country wins, he will accept Shao Jun and Cai Gui's surrender, and turn to the wind country, if Mo Guo wins, he will not suffer, and then kill Shao Jun and Cai Gui, and use the heads of the two of them to ask Shao Fang for credit.

Anyway, no matter who wins or loses on both sides, he has a way out.

Cai Gui knows Shao Yu's thoughts well, Shao Yu wants to delay time, but it is exactly what he wants.

Zhenjiang on the other side is not as calm as Fengyang.

Rumors of Xishan County's defection to the Wind Country spread far and wide, and rumors spread everywhere, causing panic in the hearts of the people.

At this time, the spies of the Sky Eye and the Earth Net secretly found Taifu Zhang Rong again.

On this day, as soon as Zhang Rong returned home after the dispersal of the dynasty, before his buttocks were hot, the subordinates in the house came in to report that there were two middle-aged people who claimed to be businessmen outside and asked to see him.

As a prince, and won the respect of the king, there are many guests who visit Zhang Rong's mansion every day, and there are people who don't know each other, which is not unusual.

However, Zhang Rong's mood is not good today, the Mo'an coalition army is like a bamboo in the jade country, but the advance of the Feng army in the north of the Mozambican country is also unstoppable, the war in the north is tight, Shao Fang is furious, the court is nervous, and Zhang Rong, who is an important minister, is also deeply pressured.

Hearing the name of the visitor, Zhang Rong waved his hand in annoyance and said, "No, no, no." ” The servant who reported the letter handed a piece of paper to Zhang Rong and said in a low voice: "My lord, the person who asked to see said that when my lord saw this letter, he would naturally meet the two of them. ” "Oh" Zhang Rong took the letter and took a look, there were only a few numbers on it: the villain is willing to give a thousand gold, just to see Master Taifu.

Zhang Rong's biggest weakness in this life is greed for money, seeing that someone is willing to give him a daughter, his heart suddenly moved, he stood up, and said expressionlessly while walking back: "Take the two of them to the study." ” "It's an adult" The person who reported the news said yes and trotted out.

Zhang Rong changed into casual clothes and waited in the study for a short time, when his subordinates brought in two middle-aged people in their forties from outside.

These two are also clever, and when they saw Zhang Rong, they hurriedly stepped forward, and they bowed respectfully, and said, "The villain Liang Ren and Liu Yang have seen Master Zhang." ” "En" Zhang Rongan sat on the collapse and didn't move, just glanced at the two casually, then lowered his head again, continued to look at the scroll in his hand, and asked lightly: "What is the matter with the two of you asking to see this official?"

The two middle-aged men who claimed to be Liang Ren and Liu Yang glanced at each other, and the former said, "Lord Zhang, the villain took the liberty to visit, and he asked for something. ” Zhang Rong is not surprised at all, nine times out of ten he can find himself, he has something to ask for.

He asked casually, "I heard that you two are businessmen."

"Yes, Master Zhang."

"What is the business?"

"Horses."

Liang Ren replied in a low voice.

It was the horse merchant Zhang Rong who put down the scroll and looked at the two of them again.

At that time, those who could be horse merchants were all very powerful businessmen, and they made huge profits, so money was naturally not a problem, and Zhang Rong, who had always been greedy for money, was also keenly aware of the opportunity to make money.

"Tell me what you two have to ask for."

"This" Liang Ren and Liu Yang seemed a little hesitant, hesitating, silent for a long time, their eyes wandering, and swept to the left and right from time to time.

Zhang Rong, who was old and cunning, understood what the two meant, he waved his hand to the subordinates on the left and right, sent them all out, and then said with a smile: "If there is anything unspeakable, I can say it now." ” "But," Liang Ren and Liu Yang turned their gazes to the two personal guards behind Zhang Rong.

Zhang Rong looked back and said indifferently: "These two are the official's disciples and the official's henchmen, so there is no need to worry about it, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ” Hearing him say this, Liang Ren finally spoke: "Lord Zhang, in fact, Brother Liu and I are in the horse business with Fengguo.

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Rong without blinking, waiting for his reaction.

Zhang Rong's face changed at first, but soon returned to normal, he sneered, and said: "You two are so bold, you dare to sell horses to the enemy country, and you should be punished for your crimes" said so, but Zhang Rong's face did not have any angry expression, and the guards behind him did not come forward to arrest Liang and Liu.

Liang Ren and Liu Yang glanced at each other, and the latter took out a roll of paper from his arms, held it in both hands, and walked towards Zhang Rong.

At this time, a guard behind Zhang Rong stepped forward and blocked him, then took the paper roll in his hand, looked through it for a while, and found no abnormality, then turned around and handed it to Zhang Rong respectfully.

Zhang Rong took it, untied the string on it, unfolded the paper roll, and looked down, okay, it turned out to be a stack of silver tickets rolled together.

He glanced at the first one, which was a silver ticket of one thousand taels, and took out another one from it, which was also a silver ticket of one thousand taels, no need to look closely, this stack of silver tickets was all one thousand taels, and it was hastily estimated that there were more than twenty silver tickets, that is, this was more than twenty taels of silver.

What a big deal, as soon as he made a move, he took out more than 20,000 taels of silver, these two people are really not simple Zhang Rong remained silent, rolled up the silver ticket again, gently put it on the table, patted it with his hand, and asked: "What does this mean?"

"Twenty-five thousand taels of silver is just a gift for the villain and Lord Zhang to meet for the first time, as long as Lord Zhang is willing to help the villain, the villain will have another heavy gift."

Liang Ren said with a smile.

Zhang Rong's eyes rolled, his mind turned sharply, he was silent for a while, looked back at the two guards behind him, and asked with his eyes whether the two of them would be martial arts.

When Liang Ren and Liu Yang first entered the study, the two guards had already used insight, and when Zhang Rong asked, the two shook their heads affirmatively, indicating that the other two did not have spiritual martial cultivation.

Seeing this, Zhang Rong put his mind at ease, raised his hand slightly, and swung outward.

The two guards understood, and both walked out of the study.

When the two of them left, only Zhang Rong, Liang Ren, and Liu Yang were left in the study.

Zhang Rong said with a smile: "Now, if there is anything you can say directly, let's say it directly":
