Late at night, a black shadow silently sneaked into Wang Muzhi's camp.

Wang Muzhi was not surprised by the arrival of the mysterious man. He said in a deep voice:

"Now that we've arrived at Xiangsuwon, it's time for you to take action, right?"

"Don't worry, everything is according to my plan..." the mysterious man said with a smile:

Wang Muzhi was silent for a while after hearing this, then looked at the mysterious man and said:

"You asked me to come to Suwon just to spread suspicion, right? You won't attack this trade route!"

Although Wang Muzhi's words were questions, his tone was extremely firm. It was obvious that he had determined that this was what the other party planned to do.

In response to Wang Muzhi's words, the mysterious man did not answer, but just smiled and said nothing.

Seeing the other party's attitude, Wang Muzhi couldn't help but feel a little impatient. He paced back and forth in the camp for a while and said in a deep voice:

"Master Shouxu asked me to trust you, but you should at least tell me what you plan to do!"

"Ye Mingsheng's ambitions are already obvious. With his emphasis on military power, the possibility of us transferring troops from him is extremely slim!"

After saying this, Wang Muzhi stared closely at the mysterious man in front of him who was enigmatic and seemed to have everything under control.

Under Wang Muzhi's gaze, the mysterious man seemed to understand that it was time for him to give Wang Muzhi a reassurance, so he said quietly:,

"Master Wang, with Ye Mingsheng's pride, he will not come to Xiangshuiyuan to greet you!"

"Next, you only need to stay in Xiangshuiyuan for a few days, and then go to Xinfa County to let Ye Mingsheng notice you, and then you can go to Fengzhou to meet Ye Mingsheng!"

"At that time, you only need to bring me to Ye Mingsheng, and I will have a way to ask Ye Mingsheng to send troops. Sir, you don't need to know too much. Knowing too much may not be the same for you or me.

A good thing!”

····················

····················

While Wang Muzhi was having a conversation with the mysterious man, Guo Zhiping was also waiting for the arrival of a person in another tent in the military camp.

While waiting, Guo Zhiping was also thinking about things in his heart, and his expression kept changing...

When he first knew that the Zhenwu Army was coming to Liaoyang, the person he wanted to join most was Wang Muzhi, who was famous and had outstanding military exploits!

After all, everyone in the world knows that Wang Muzhi is the confidant of Chief Assistant Shangguan Hongyuan. As long as Shangguan Hongyuan does not fall, it is certain that Wang Muzhi will become the third-level commander in the future. Therefore, Guo Zhiping also wants a big tree.

It’s good to enjoy the cool down there, and take advantage of Wang Muzhi’s east wind to get ahead!

Although the idea was good, he later suffered from lack of connections and was worried that Wang Muzhi would look down on his bandit background, so he chose to join Ye Mingsheng, who was not very powerful at the time.

Now seeing Wang Muzhi again, Guo Zhiping felt something special in his heart!

However, Guo Zhiping does not regret his original choice. Now he can understand the mood of his father Guo Zhanshan and most of the bandits who accepted the call and surrender...

My colleagues in the military may not say it with their mouths, but the contempt, disdain, and even rejection in their hearts are real.

His subordinates are a mixed bag, and the same is true for Ye Mingsheng, who has different backgrounds. What will happen if his subordinate Qing Yishui is an orthodox military general, and there are even Wang Muzhi who comes from a famous family?

Guo Zhiping sometimes shudders when he thinks about it. Fortunately, he can understand why so many bandits who accepted the recruitment would choose to rebel again, neglecting the good officers and soldiers, and become bandits again!

Every time he thought of this, Guo Zhiping would feel even more grateful to Ye Mingsheng. Although his colleagues in the army looked at him with colored glasses, as the commander-in-chief, Ye Mingsheng treated him equally and had great trust in him.

Not only did he hand over the vast majority of the cavalry in the army to him, but he also promoted him to the rank of seventh-level commander despite the criticism from the army, allowing him to be a bandit who had surrendered, and the few old subordinates who had followed Ye Mingsheng in the first place.

Sit on equal footing!

Guo Zhiping knew very well that except for Ye Mingsheng, no one else would give him this kind of treatment. This kind of trust allowed him to use what he had learned throughout his life and realize his ambitions...

····

As the old saying goes, if you treat me like a countryman, I will repay you as a countryman!

It was precisely because he was grateful for Ye Mingsheng's trust that Guo Zhiping took the initiative and arranged for his wife, children, and children to live in Fengzhou City, cutting off all his escape routes!

After waiting for about half an hour, the person Guo Zhiping was waiting for finally arrived.

"Zhiping, what's going on now?" As soon as he entered the camp, Ye Tie asked:

When he received the news from Guo Zhiping, who was in the camp before, he did not dare to be careless and immediately took more than 3,000 people in the camp and evacuated to a camp fifty miles away, and settled these 3,000 people.

Ye Tie hurried back again, wanting to discuss countermeasures with Guo Zhiping.

"I have arranged Wang Muzhi and the others to the Chinese military camp, and also arranged a few secret sentries to keep an eye on them. From the current situation, Wang Muzhi and the others are quite honest and have not done anything wrong!" Guo Zhiping simplified the situation.

Ye Tie introduced him.

The anxiety in Ye Tie's expression was relieved after hearing this. When he first received the news from Guo Zhiping, he was a little confused. He didn't know why Wang Muzhi suddenly came to Fengzhou to inspect the military. Now he is here

It looks like the situation may not be as bad as he thought!

Noticing the change in Ye Tie's expression, Guo Zhiping nodded secretly. This Ye Tie is Ye Mingsheng's number one confidant. Since he doesn't know it, it seems that Ye Mingsheng should not know about Wang Muzhi's sudden visit...

········

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Tie asked Guo Zhiping: "Zhiping, what do you think Wang Muzhi wants to do?"

Hearing this, Guo Zhiping smiled bitterly and shook his head and said: "I don't know either, but I have already compiled a letter to inform the general of the situation here. I believe you will make your own decision!"

"I think what we have to do now is to first keep an eye on Wang Muzhi and prevent him from running around, and secondly to hide our soldiers and horses."

"The above has only given you the quota of less than 10,000 people, but now we have nearly 5,000 people here alone. If Wang Muzhi discovers this, he will definitely be accused of secretly expanding the army with evil intentions.

By then the adults will be passive."

‘Yes!’ Ye Tie nodded first, and then continued to ask as if he was thinking of something while he was pondering:

"What about Dalongchang Company? According to the plan, they will send another batch of goods to Khitan in three days. I heard from their people that this batch of goods is quite large, with tens of thousands of kilograms of pig iron alone...

·······”

"There is no other way. We can only let them stop for a few days! Go to the Lang family shack to avoid the limelight." Guo Zhiping sighed and said helplessly:

Hearing Guo Zhiping's thoughts, Ye Tie looked a little embarrassed, but after thinking about it carefully, he nodded and agreed to Guo Zhiping's approach.

It's freezing and snowy outside now, and if Dalongchang's caravan stops for a day, it might have to face many unknown risks, and Dong Jianchuan will definitely not be happy about it.

But now that things are urgent, we can only do this. Otherwise, if Wang Muzhi discovers it, they may kill people and silence them...

As the old saying goes, everything has its priorities. In the face of the risk of the Dongchuang incident, if Dalongchang's caravan stops for a few days, it won't be a big deal!

·····················

·····················

Two days later, in the private room of Fengji Teahouse in Fengzhou City.

Ye Mingsheng and Gu Sansi, dressed in plain clothes, were drinking tea and chatting while watching the very lively Romance of the West Chamber being performed on the stage.

The flowers are falling, the water is red, there are thousands of sorrows, and I have no words to complain about the east wind.

Snow waves beat in the sky, and autumn clouds rolled across the sky.

The east wind sways the weeping poplar threads, the hairsprings stir up the peach blossoms, and the bead curtains hide the hibiscus faces.

The shy flower explains the words, the gentle jade is fragrant.

I traveled 90,000 miles to Deyun Road, but I first suffered from the fireflies in the snow window for twenty years.

My hungry eyes are about to penetrate, my slanderous mouth is empty, and my bones are full of lovesickness. How can I expect his eyes to turn when he is about to leave? Xiudao is a niche, even a man of iron and stone, and he also wants to stir up affection.

I don’t know where this opera troupe found a young actress. Although she is young, she is already very charming. Especially her voice is really wonderful. Her voice is melodious and melodious. She plays the role of Cui Yingying vividly.

·············

Looking at Ye Mingsheng, whose eyes were slightly closed and full of interest, Gu Sansi was a little surprised. He originally went to the General Military Mansion today to discuss important matters with Ye Mingsheng, but before he could discuss the matter, he was dragged here by Ye Mingsheng.

Enjoy life.

Although Ye Mingsheng seemed to be in a good mood, Gu Sansi was not in such a good mood. After pondering for a moment, he tentatively asked Ye Mingsheng:

"Sir, Wang Muzhi has been in Xiangshuiyuan for two days. Aren't you worried, sir, that he will discover the affairs of Dalongchang Company?"

Ye Mingsheng smiled slightly when he heard this, leaned on the chair and said lightly:

"What if you discover it? What if you don't discover it?"

Ye Mingsheng's rhetorical question made Gu Sansi look stunned. Just when he was trying to figure out Ye Mingsheng's thoughts, Ye Mingsheng continued:

"The matter of Dalongchang Company is not as secretive as you think. Everything you need to know is known!"

"Wang Muzhi's trip to Xiangsuwon is nothing more than a bluff. He doesn't have the guts to make a fuss about Xiangsuwon's trade routes!"

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng had a plan in mind, Gu Sansi's eyes flickered a few times, as if he had some realization...

After taking a sip of the fine Tieguanyin in the cup, Ye Mingsheng said to Gu Sansi seemingly casually:

"Think twice, why do you think I didn't let out the news about Wang Muzhi's arrival?"

Regarding Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Gu Sansi was a little hesitant. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Don't have any scruples, but it doesn't matter!"

Seeing that Ye Mingsheng had already said this, Gu Sansi could only say:

"Originally, I was not sure what you were thinking, but after what you just heard, I felt that you were trying to confuse Wang Muzhi!"
To be continued...
