"You guys haven't been able to come up with anything after discussing it for several days. Isn't it because no one wants to take the responsibility for the failure of this matter? Now that you see what I did, they started to come over to question me one by one. If you really meant it, why didn't you see me? I stopped the people I sent out to deliver the message for the first time! Why didn't you guys come up with a way to save it?! You were just worried that the princess would be angry when you saw that all the people I sent out were detained, so you repented. I’m here to scold you!”
Wu Xu was completely irritated and threw down the sword in his hand and punched Zhang Quan several times. Although Zhang Quan said something tough, he knew in his heart that he was just arrogating. He also knew that Wu Xu and the others still needed to deal with this matter now, so these few days Zhang Quan was ready to take the punch.
But Wu Xu, who was furious, hit the tree behind Zhang Quan. When the leaves were shaken and fell into chaos, Zhang Quan's "admission" finally calmed down some of the frustration in his heart.
"From tomorrow on, don't let anyone go to Chengzhou, and don't ask about the fate of those people." Wu Xu's tone was still bad, but Zhang Quan didn't dare to say anything.
If these punches had landed on him, he would have been tougher. After all, he was beaten. But now that he messed up the matter and there was no punishment, it was hard for him to say anything.
"She must have something to ask for when she comes to this border at this time. In this case, we just need to wait. If what she says is reasonable and beneficial, the emperor will naturally not miss this opportunity to make friends with Princess Kangle. But if she has a condescending and begging attitude, then don’t think about it.”
Wu Xu squinted at Zhang Quan, "We are not moving because the superiors do not allow us to move. This time you are responsible for your own affairs."
Zhang Quan didn't dare to respond, but after listening for a long time, he still couldn't understand, "Are you waiting like this now? I have sent people there. Will Princess Kangle give up the negotiation with us in anger?"
Wu Xu smiled coldly, "So you'd better write your apology quickly. If your confession of mistake hasn't reached Princess Kangle's ears before she wants to leave, you can wait for the emperor to deal with you personally. Bundle!"
Zhang Quan had no idea that Wu Xu's words meant this. Didn't the fact that he admitted his mistake reach Princess Kangle's ears and made him become cannon fodder this time? !
"Is there no other way?" Zhang Quan was a little unwilling. If the news of his admission of mistake really reached Princess Kangle's ears, let alone the people in Chengzhou who would hate him later. He couldn't get enough of the benefits Princess Kangle had given him, let alone the promised benefits they could get from negotiating with Princess Kangle this time!
Wu Xuren didn't have a good expression and asked Zhang Quan, "Do you think there is any better way? All of us listen to you. We can't stop you from doing what you want to do."
Zhang Quan couldn't help but feel a little confused, but he didn't dare to fall out with a group of people directly when the matter was unresolved, "Are you helping me think about any other good ideas? I'll follow you all the way. If I can’t get any benefits from coming here, then won’t I make the people at home laugh when I go back?”
Wu Xu's face became somewhat better after Zhang Quan's last words, but his coldness was still not much better, "If you didn't come and ask me before you do something, why are you talking to me now?!"
Zhang Quan didn't see that Wu Xu had relented and didn't care whether his tone was serious or not. He hurriedly responded to Cheng and said, "Don't you want to see Princess Kangle alone? The people I sent to Chengzhou are still alive. As long as this The benefits I got from settling the matter are no less, so they will definitely mention you after meeting Princess Kangle."
Princess Kangle did not move forward after arriving at Huiping Prefecture, and they did not dare to cross the border at will. When both sides did not trust each other, they could only choose to have people pass the message.
Even Wu Xu couldn't help but be moved by Zhang Quan's proposal.
Now among all of them, only Wu Xu sent people to Chengzhou Kingdom, and he was honest and would not be traced and slandered by anyone in Han Shang Kingdom.
What Wu Xu was thinking in his heart did not show on his face, he just looked at Zhang Quan with warning eyes. Zhang Quan immediately understood and said quickly: "Don't worry, I am the only one who knows about this matter, and I am not a garrulous person." !”
This is the truth. Wu Xu's face relaxed a little before he gave the answer to the previous question, "It's impossible that the Emperor doesn't know about the things you did. It's impossible to hide it, unless Princess Kangle is really involved in this matter." responded to you."
Zhang Quan secretly whispered that what Wu Xu said was nonsense, but thinking that Wu Xu's mind was different from his, he still asked one more question: "What's behind?"
Wu Xu said with a smile but not a smile: "You will become a major contributor to this matter later. Princess Kangle took the initiative to contact Han Shangguo, or you surrendered your identity to contact her."
This can't be said to be a good thing or a bad thing. Zhang Quan could tell that Wu Xu had noticed his ventriloquism and smiled.
Wu Xu then straightened his expression and said seriously: "The fact that you sent so many letters for the first time and she was still able to do so shows that she has bigger things to hide from Chenghuang and even everyone. The most important thing is that she is now She had a way to deal with the consequences of these things she did, and even the emperors of Chengzhou knew about it."
Zhang Quan didn't know if the princess of Chengzhou knew it, but he felt that what Wu Xu said was reasonable, so he nodded in this sentence and listened quietly.
"Since she knew these people and didn't directly kill the people you sent there, it means that she doesn't care much about this matter. Then you can't contact her directly."
Wu Xu pointed the way and said: "Ride a horse for half a day along the north of the city to go around the mountains and forests. You can see the town where she is in less than half a day's walk to the east."
Zhang Quan's eyes suddenly widened. He was stupid but not stupid. He knew what it meant to cross this line!
"When you go, don't go looking for her. Instead, go directly to your people to rescue her." Wu Xu ignored Zhang Quan's shock and continued: "Princess Kangle only uses people who value friendship. You just need to If you act like this, you won't be afraid that she will embarrass you. What's more, as the general of Han Shangguo, she won't dare to do anything to you. When you see her, is there anything else you can't ask or say? Besides, she has the heart to be with Han Shangguo. As long as you enter the tiger's den this time, you will definitely gain something, even if you meet the Holy Emperor, he will still praise you."
What Wu Xu said was exciting, but there were so many things involved that Zhang Quan could not calm down and listen. At this time, let alone asking him to act in this scene, even if he was asked to cross borders before, he would not be able to do it.
As a general, as a general of Han Shangguo guarding this boundary, Zhang Quan couldn't figure out how Wu Xu said this, let alone disagree.
"Generals from Han Shangguo will cross the boundaries of their own protection at will. How do you want people from other countries to see me?" Zhang Quan asked Wu Xu seriously, wanting to know whether Wu Xu was cheating him or really helping him, "Princess Kangle I don’t care about people who put emphasis on friendship and importance, but if I dare to do this, I’m afraid the emperor will be the first to behead me in front of the palace gate to warn everyone.”
Wu Xu didn't expect that Zhang Quan could think of this level. At this time, he was a little surprised and a little relieved, "If you know this in your heart, you should know what you want to get from her, right?!"
Zhang Quan asked without turning his mind: "Who?"
Wu Xu replied: "This time the emperor asked us to come here just for profit."
Zhang Quan suddenly woke up after receiving the initiation.
Originally, Han Shangguo was in the upper hand when it came to Princess Kangle coming over on her own initiative, but he failed because of his own initiative, which made Han Shangguo appear urgent and made it clear that they were paying attention to her whereabouts. The situation changed from Han Shangguo's "helping" Princess Kangle and doing this transaction as a dispensable thing to that they attached great importance to the interests in Princess Kangle's hands.
The only way to solve this situation is for him, the person who sends people and delivers messages, to show his recklessness and insistence on going his own way, so that Princess Kangle can feel that these have nothing to do with Han Shangguo, but he can't calm down. Only in this way can the things that their emperor expected continue to be carried out.
And Princess Kangle will not be completely calm after seeing him. Although he is not a big deal in Han Shangguo, he is still a person who can show up in front of the emperor. He is the only one she can see now, so this A visit to him will not be all fruitless.
As long as he holds the deal negotiated with Princess Kangle in his hand, the emperor will think that it is his strategy to cross the border to Chengzhou privately, and will make way for this deal.
The more Zhang Quan thought about it, the more excited he became, but when the words of agreement were already on his lips, Zhang Quan suddenly became confused, "Why don't you cross the border by yourself?"
Wu Xu wanted to meet Princess Kangle of Zhou Kingdom for more than two days, otherwise he would not have known about it, but under such circumstances, he had a plan and a premeditated reason to let him do this.
Zhang Quan is not a suspicious person, but what he said just now was obviously too smooth. He is afraid that he will really be the one to take the blame.
But Zhang Quan didn't expect that Wu Xu's impatient voice had already responded: "Okay!" before he could even finish his question.
Zhang Quan opened his mouth but no words came out. He only looked at Wu Xu who responded quickly and was filled with confusion.
"I'll set off tonight and you can hold them back." Wu Xu handed another letter in his arms to Zhang Quan, "If I am also detained and cannot come back, you can send this letter to Kangle County. host."
Zhang Quan, who had originally thought about going on his own under Wu Xu's quick response, hesitated for a moment but said nothing else.
The benefits this time are superficial. If something unexpected happens, it will be easy to die in a foreign country. I am afraid that my family will be branded as treason.
Wu Xu saw Zhang Quan's hesitation and said proactively: "Any benefits I get from going this time are all due to you, and it will not change even if I am in front of the emperor."
