No matter how much Shao Yu didn't understand about the eight counties of Ning Bei, he knew that the person in charge of the situation was Cai Family. He originally thought that Cai Gui was just a nobody with only Feng Country, but he never expected that it was actually someone with Cai Family.

He exchanged a glance with Li Ting who was beside him, then said with a smile, "I don't know if it's Young Master Cai. I apologize for my disrespect!"

Cai Gui laughed: Master Shao is too polite! After pausing for a moment, he continued seriously: "Abandoning the darkness and revealing the truth, this is Master Shao's only way out, continue to stand by Shao Fang's side, sooner or later, he will be the one to get killed."

Shao Yu acted surprised and asked: "What do you mean by that, Young Master Cai?"

Cai Gui said: "To protect your own orthodox standing, Shao Fang wantonly killed the Shao Family. Does Master Shao think that Shao Fang can tolerate you?"

Li Ting continued, "But not long ago, the King even specially sent a letter to Xishan County praising the Lord's loyalty to Mo Country and to the King."

Cai Gui laughed and said: "Could it be that Mr. Li Ting did not see that this was Shao Fang's plan to appease him? What he is most afraid of is that there will be internal chaos. Right now, he is comforting Master Shao because he hopes that his backyard is not ignited, and once he makes a move, Master Shao will follow the example of his clan members who were killed! "

"Right, right, right!" Shao Jun immediately agreed: "Master Cai's words are reasonable, junior must think twice before acting!"

How could Shao Jun not know what Shao Fang was thinking?

To him, betraying Shao Fang and going back to Feng Country was indeed a way out. If not, he wouldn't have welcomed Shao Jun in such a grand manner. The choice he had made right now was related to his entire Xishan County and the life and death of his entire family. He had no choice but to carefully consider it, and he would not reveal his own attitude until he took the final step. As far as he was concerned, the best way now was for both sides to not offend each other, leaving him with two options. No matter who won, he wouldn't be forced into a corner.

Shao Yu's thoughts were strongly supported by his trusted advisor Liu Ting, Liu Ting believed that he could not openly fall out with Shao Fang right now, and he could not blindly fight to the bitter end with regards to Feng Country.

He revealed a troubled face, shook his head and smiled bitterly at Shao Jun, then said: "Uncle, it's not that nephew doesn't care about the feelings of camaraderie, but nephew has his own difficulties, on this matter... "Nephew has to consider it more carefully."

Shao Jun was already very satisfied that Yun Che did not immediately reject his move, so he did not dare to force him any further, and repeatedly said, "Yes, yes, yes! This is, after all, a great matter that concerns the future of our nephew, so it is only right that we carefully consider it. "

Cai Gui sighed, this Shao Jun, did he still know which side he was on? Now, he more or less understood Shao Yu's intentions. He wanted to be a fence-sitter, fell on both sides, and not offend both sides, leaving him with two paths of retreat. Such a person would be the most troublesome to deal with, but fortunately, he had anticipated this kind of situation and had prepared accordingly.

He smiled and said in a deep voice, "The trees want peace and quiet, but the wind does not stop! Master Shao has treated Shao Fang with kindness, I am afraid, Shao Fang will not show him any mercy! "

Shao Yu and Liu Ting frowned at the same time and asked: "What do you mean by that, Young Master Cai?"

Cai Gui slowly said: "Han Zhong and Yuan Tian are not running towards the east, nor are they running towards the south. Instead, they are running towards the west and into the Xishan County. He purposely left space for Shao Yu and Liu Ting to indulge in his fantasies.

Shao Yu and Liu Ting were startled for a moment, then laughed out loud with their heads facing upwards: "The situation of my Xishan County is extremely dangerous, it is also within reason that Lord Han and Lord Yuan sought refuge in the Xishan County."

"Is that so? Then let's wait and see! " Cai Gui said with a faint smile.

Shao Jun and Cai Gui visited Xishan County and were warmly received by Shao Yu. The latter treated the two of them as honored guests, and sent people to protect them, and also sent people to serve them, allowing them to live in the Fengyang peacefully.

However, during the time they were staying at the Fengyang, although Shao Yu was always entertained with good wine and good dishes, he never brought up his business nor made his stance clear. It was very obvious that he was delaying it, hoping to wait until the day the situation was clear before making his choice. If he could win with his Feng Country, then he would take advantage of the situation to accept Shao Jun and Cai Gui's surrender and turn to Feng Country. If he could win with his Mo Country, he would not lose out. In any case, regardless of who won or lost, he still had a way to go.

Cai Gui was well aware of Shao Yu's thoughts. If Shao Yu wanted to stall for time, it would just be right for him.

The other side of the Zhenjiang was not as calm as the other side. The rumors of Xishan County turning towards Feng Country spread like wildfire. Rumors spread in all directions, causing people's hearts to be jittery. At this time, the spies from Sky Eye and Earth Web found Grand Preceptor Zhang Rong.

On this day, just as Zhang Rong returned home from the imperial court, before he even sat down to warm his seat, servants of the residence came in to report that there were two self-proclaimed merchant middle-aged men seeking an audience.

As the Grand Preceptor, he was also highly regarded by the King. Every day, there were many guests visiting Zhang Rong's residence, and there were even some who did not know him. But today, Zhang Rong was not in a good mood, the Mo Country And Ann Country Alliance Army's Yu Country s were unstoppable in the north, the war in the north was tense, Shao Fang was furious, the imperial court was nervous, as a major official, Zhang Rong was also under great pressure.

Hearing that the person's name was unfamiliar, Zhang Rong waved his hand impatiently and said: "I won't see him."

The servant who reported the letter passed a letter to Zhang Rong, and said softly: "Master, the person requesting an audience says, upon seeing this letter, Master will naturally meet with the two of you."

"Oh?" Zhang Rong took the letter and opened it. There were only a few numbers on it: I am willing to give you my thousand gold, just to meet Master Grand Preceptor.

Zhang Rong's greatest weakness in his life was his greed. Seeing that the person in question was willing to give him a thousand gold, his heart was moved. He stood up, walked towards the back, and said expressionlessly: "Bring the two of them to the study room."

"Yes!" "My Lord!"

The messenger responded and ran out.0

Zhang Rong changed into casual clothes and sat in the study room for a short time. Two middle-aged men in their forties came in with a servant.

The two were clever, upon seeing Zhang Rong, they anxiously went forward and bowed respectfully, saying: "I am Liang Ren (Liu Yang), greets Master Zhang."

"Yes!" Zhang Rong sat on the collapsed ground, not moving at all. He only glanced at the two of them, then lowered his head and continued to read the book in his hands. At the same time, he asked casually: "What business do you two have with me?"

The two middle-aged men who called themselves Liang Ren and Liu Yang looked at each other, then said: "Master Zhang, this lowly one has a request to make."

Zhang Rong was not surprised at all, he was 90% sure that there was a reason why he was able to find his. He asked casually, "I heard that you two are merchants?"

"Yes, Master Zhang."

"What kind of business?"

"Horses." Liang Ren replied softly.

It's a horse dealer! Zhang Rong put down his book and looked at the two of them again. At that time, those who were able to be merchants were all influential big merchants, their profits were huge. Money was naturally not a problem, and Zhang Rong who had always been greedy for money was also acutely aware that he had the chance to seek wealth.

"Tell me, what do you two need?"

"This ?" Liang Ren and Liu Yang were obviously a little hesitant. They stuttered and did not speak for a long time.

The cunning Zhang Rong understood the meaning of the two men's words. He waved to the servants on his left and right, sending them away, then laughed: "If there's anything that's difficult to say, say it now."

"But ?" Liang Ren and Liu Yang then looked at the two bodyguards behind Zhang Rong.

Zhang Rong turned his head and looked, and said indifferently: "These two are my henchmen, and are also my trusted aides, there is no need to worry, just speak your mind."

Hearing him say that, Liang Ren finally opened his mouth and said, "Master Zhang, actually, Brother Liu and I are doing business with Feng Country." After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Rong without blinking, waiting for his reaction.

Zhang Rong's expression changed at first, but quickly returned to normal. He sneered and said: "You two have so much guts to actually sell horses to an enemy country. Although he said that, Zhang Rong's face did not reveal any expression of anger, and the guards behind him did not have the intention to go forward and capture Liang and Liu either.

Liang Ren and Liu Yang looked at each other. The latter took out a roll of paper from his bosom and walked towards Zhang Rong while holding it with both hands. At this time, one of the guards behind Zhang Rong strode forward and blocked his path, then took the paper scroll from his hands. After looking through it for a moment, he turned around, and respectfully handed it over to Zhang Rong.

Zhang Rong received it, untied the string on it and unrolled the scroll. He looked down, and saw that it was actually a stack of silver bills. He took a glance at the first one and saw that it was a one thousand taels of silver. He casually took out another one, which was also one thousand taels of silver. He did not need to look carefully to know that the stack contained one thousand taels of silver.

Such extravagant work. To be able to produce twenty thousand taels of silver in one go, these two people were not simple at all! Without batting an eyelid, Zhang Rong rolled up the silver again and gently placed it on the table. He patted it with his hand and asked: "What does that mean?"

"Twenty five thousand taels of silver is just the first time this humble one and Master Zhang have met. As long as Master Zhang is willing to help this humble one, this humble one will present you with another important gift." Liang Ren said with a smile.

Zhang Rong's eyes turned, his thoughts spinning, he remained silent for a while, until he turned back to look at the two guards behind him, asking them with his eyes, if they knew anything about the Spirit Force. When Liang Ren and Liu Yang first entered the study room, the two guards had already used Clear Vision. When Zhang Rong asked this question, the two of them definitely shook their heads, indicating that the other two did not have Spiritual Martial Cultivation.

Seeing that, Zhang Rong calmed down, raised his hand a little, and waved it outwards. The two guards understood and left the study. After the two of them left, only Zhang Rong, Liang Ren and Liu Yang remained in the study. Zhang Rong smiled and said: "Now, what do you two have to say for yourselves?"
