C313 They Were in a Dilemma
When Gan Shichi received the mission, he asked Zhang Jingxuan how he knew this would work. What if Liu Zujie didn't fall for this trick?
Zhang Jingxuan replied with confidence, "Not afraid. Look at how arrogant his brother-in-law is. I can roughly guess what it is. When I saw Liu Zujie himself, I was even more certain that this move would work. It's not because of anything else, but because he has a look of fear on his face."
" Internal fear? What do you think of this? Boss, you even know how to meet people! Take a look and see if I'm afraid of inner appearance. "
" Hurry up and go to the side to play, you child Yaya. I'm afraid I'll tell you. You intend to work in that direction." Zhang Jingxuan pretended to knock Gan Shichi's head and finally scared him away. No matter what, this child took everything seriously.
In fact, he was not wrong about this.
Feng Dongjiao's family started from selling private salt in the southwest. After making a lot of money, they left their hometown and went to Henan. They bought houses and land and became rich. On the surface, they were promoted to Minister Counsellor. In fact, they were still doing other businesses in secret.
When Lee Hongji, Liu Zujie, and the others arrived at their location, the Feng family first helped Lee Hongji's army gather grain. After observing Lee Hongji's troops, they found that they were the ones with the most potential, so they arranged for Feng Dongjiao to marry Liu Zujie. Furthermore, the Feng family raised funds and dug out the old troops, adding a thousand war horses to Liu Zujie. A thousand valiant soldiers who were equipped with martial arts.
Because to the Feng family, their ambitions were not small. Furthermore, they were going to be cut off by the imperial court and the local officials. Hence, they might as well take the initiative to invest in Lee Hongji and Liu Zujie's camp. Once they arrived in the world, their own families could also be listed in the earth and sealed the border.
This also further consolidated Liu Zujie's position. He claimed to have ten thousand cavalry, but in reality, there were only six or seven thousand people. And the true elite troops were only about half of them. As for the one thousand people from the Feng family, they could be considered the elites among the elites. The salt traffickers themselves all had martial arts and were not afraid of death. After going through strict training, it formed a force that no one dared to underestimate.
This was also one of the reasons why Liu Zujie loved and feared his wife. In addition, Feng Dongjiao had grown up in the southwest since young, and the people there were simple and fierce. The woman was also naive, bold, and bold. Feng Dongjiao had once said that she had learned Gu magic from Miao Nu. If Liu Zujie was disloyal to her, she would activate the Gu. She wanted Liu Zujie to beg for death. That was the sweet talk of a lady. Liu Zujie didn't really care if it was a joke. At least until now, he was loyal and devoted to his wife.
Zhang Jingxuan had sent Gan Shichi and the others to kidnap Feng Dongjiao. It was a move that his opponent hadn't expected. Once the banquet was over, Zhang Jingxuan hurried back to his camp and left. It was also because he had made arrangements. However, General Liu's wife had gone missing. Sooner or later, it would cause a world-shaking commotion.
On the way, Zhang Jingxuan communicated with Feng Dongjiao, who had been frightened a little. Fortunately, Feng Dongjiao was not an ordinary woman. She understood that Zhang Jingxuan and the others didn't want to have any conflict with each other. They just wanted to take the opportunity to travel to another place. Basically, Zhang Jingxuan would know what to say.
She immediately expressed that she was willing to let Liu Zujie withdraw his troops. If Liu Zujie didn't care about his own safety and refused, then there would be a good chance. Either she killed herself on the spot, or she simply let the one thousand cavalry of her own clan join Zhang Jingxuan's camp. Looking at the situation, Liu did not have the capital to show off.
Zhang Jingxuan felt that even if he was inspired, it was nothing. Dealing with smart people was always a very pleasant thing.
Zhang Jingxuan was satisfied, but Liu Zujie felt uncomfortable.
It was fine if he met other things, but he really had no way to deal with this lovely wife. He was so anxious that he couldn't even speak clearly. He was so anxious that he scratched his head. In the end, he forgot that his head was still covered in armor. His big hand scratched the helmet a few times and drew out sparks.
"Zhang Jingxuan! You are going too far!" As he angrily scolded Zhang Jingxuan, he still had to quickly explain to his wife. But in front of so many people, especially in front of his subordinates, it was really not good for him to act too subservient.
"Dong Jiao, your husband's feelings towards you can be seen by the light of day. He has never wavered in the slightest. Don't be deceived by this kid's flowery words, no matter what you say. I will definitely save you. You can rest assured. Did they bully you?"
No matter what, Liu Zujie had shown that he was a good husband. His concern was obvious.
"What did they bully me for? They just want to take the other side of the road. Cult Master Zhang was very polite. He was a good person. On the other hand, you just find a random reason to not go home all day long, and leave me alone to be bullied by others. " As she spoke, Feng Dongjiao's big teardrop rolled down her face. It was raining.
This caused Liu Zujie to panic even more. However, it was hard to defy the orders of a king, and it was hard to predict the heavenly might. If he let Zhang Jingxuan go just like that, and if Lee Hongji blamed him, he would still have to bear the consequences.
He was in a dilemma, and didn't know what to do. This time, Zhang Jingxuan simply stood by and watched. He would just hand the situation over to the two of them, and see what kind of ending they would create.
Just as Liu Zujie was in a dilemma, Zhang Jingxuan suddenly received a report from a scout. Another group of people came out of the city, and they were rushing over at high speed.
When Zhang Jingxuan heard this, his expression changed.
He did not expect Lee Hongji to be so aggressive in front of the enemy. He should not be such a person who did not know what was important and what was important! Could it be that he felt that his threat was greater than the army that was about to attack?
If they were to be attacked from both sides, he was afraid that his team would be in danger. Then it was really his fault for making a mistake in predicting the enemy. Zhang Jingxuan urgently thought of countermeasures in his mind, but he was actually unable to come up with a perfect plan all of a sudden. He only felt that his palm was already sweating at this moment, even if it was a life and death situation before. Zhang Jingxuan felt that it was not as thrilling as it was at this moment.
Fortunately, the second wave of visitors soon reported that there were only about three to five hundred people. It did not seem like they were going to pincer them, but Zhang Jingxuan did not dare to be careless. He sent Hee Jinfeng and five hundred archers to block the enemy. Facing the front, Zhang Jingxuan did not plan to wait any longer.
"General Liu, I have a few thousand men. Although they are not wolves, tigers, or leopards, at least a porcupine hedgehog. You want to eat me? I dare not say that you can't do it. I'm just afraid that at that time, it'll only be a win-win situation for both sides. What good will it do you if General Liu loses all of his capital?
Madam Liu, I don't want to make things difficult for her at all. We had a good chat. I still want to acknowledge a gan-sister. Speaking of which, you're my gan-brother-in-law. So, the two of us have no grudges. Perhaps we can even become relatives and friends. Why must we fight to the death here? General Liu is a wise and righteous person. Are you willing to let your sons die in this unknown battlefield?"
