"I have already mentioned the reason before."

Li Qi let out a surprised sound, pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm stupid, I don't know what the reason is?"

Zhang Chun'er said with a smile: "As I said before, the main reason why I agreed to the Kingdom of Jin was because the Kingdom of Jin gave me a restaurant and allowed me to start my own business. Unless I took the initiative to help the Kingdom of Jin, I hated the Liao Kingdom the most.

But compared to the Kingdom of Jin, I have more feelings for the Song Dynasty. In the past two years, I have been taking care of the Jinlou seriously. I am not using the Jinlou as a cover to do some shameful things.

As of now, Jinlou has been able to stand on the same level as Zuixianju and Fanlou. I don’t deny that Jin Guo has given me a lot of help here, but I have also paid a lot. And... yours

The reform has brought more benefits to us businessmen. I like the current environment very much, and I don’t want anyone to destroy this environment. The most important thing is that I want to get rid of the Jin Kingdom and become the true master of the Jinlou.

, rather than being a puppet.

However, the Kingdom of Jin wants to attack the Song Dynasty. Once the Song Dynasty is destroyed, the Jurchen tribe's barbaric style will not understand what business is at all. Then my efforts will be in vain."

"I see." Li Qi nodded and thought to himself, this woman's ambition is really not ordinary. I really underestimated her. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid Wanyan Zongwang never imagined that he would be raped by a woman.

I have to say that I really admire your courage now. You first used the Kingdom of Jin to get rid of Fan Lou and obtained the Jin Tower. Now you want to repeat the same trick and use the Song Dynasty to help you.

To get rid of the Jin Kingdom, fully own the Jin Tower, and be able to move between the two big countries with ease, you are probably the first person. However, have you ever thought about the success or failure of this war, you are just a very big person.

Small factors cannot play a decisive role. If the Jin Kingdom still wins the final victory, what kind of situation will you face? "

"Of course I have thought about it. In fact, I struggled for a long time before I came to you, but if I had not come to you, I would not be Zhang Chun'er." Zhang Chun'er said with a firm face: "Maybe in your opinion, I am

A duplicitous and ungrateful villain, but in my opinion, I just fight for what I want, and it has always been like this, and it has never changed."

"Yes, although on the surface, you are constantly changing camps, your ideas and goals have never wavered, or the direction of your efforts has never changed." Li Qi nodded and said: "

In fact, there should be one thing you haven't said yet, that is, I will never tolerate you living until the Jin soldiers come to Tokyo. Your coming here has saved half of your life so far."

Zhang Chun'er disagreed and said: "Although I am a woman, I am not so stupid that I don't even leave a way out for myself. Maybe you think that I have no wings to fly, but if I want to leave, you can't keep me at all."

.”

It seems that I don’t know her well enough! Li Qi frowned a little. If Zhang Chuner ran away, it would be the greatest humiliation for him, because he always thought that everything was under his control.

, Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. He said: "But now, you seem to have blocked this way of survival. Why are you so sure? Now I will leave you with this life."

Zhang Chun'er said: "The fact that I came to you has proven that I am willing to risk everything. I think I still have some value to you. Besides, I am still your savior."

"Yeah, I almost forgot that you were my savior. By the way, why did you save me? You couldn't have thought that I was the savior of Song Dynasty at that time."

"Of course not. I saved you because there is still an unfinished contest between us. At that time, I had not thought of such a long-term outcome."

Li Qi expressed his deep belief in what she said, because it was now time and she no longer had the need to hide herself. He said: "But the sincerity you showed is not enough to make me give up the idea of ​​killing you."

Zhang Chun'er smiled and said: "I can tell you everything you want to know, but first you must agree to a few requests of mine."

Li Qidao: "If I don't agree."

"Then just pretend I haven't been here."

"This is impossible. I asked myself that I can't do it."

"Then it's up to you. But I dare say you will regret it then."

"Are you threatening me?"

"It's not a threat, I'm just talking about business with you. It's impossible for you to get everything you want without giving anything. This is not what a businessman should do. Of course I come here for a purpose."

Li Qi was silent for a moment and said, "Go ahead."

Zhang Chuner smiled slightly and said: "Actually, my request is very simple. First of all, of course, you must promise to save my life and everything I have now; secondly, you must compete with me in cooking skills; finally.

I will attend the next Four Nations Banquet on behalf of the Song Dynasty."

"I promise you."

Zhang Chun'er was stunned and said, "Why did you agree so readily?"

Li Qidao: "You said your request is very simple, so do I have any reason to refuse? And you don't seem to give me any room to bargain. Do I mean to keep you half alive? As for the cooking competition, I have actually been

I don't mind, just because you are helping the Kingdom of Jin. Now that you have joined the Song Dynasty, of course I am willing. Finally, the Four Kingdoms Banquet has lost its novelty to me. You went to attend and saved me a lot of trouble.

"

Zhang Chun'er hesitated for a moment, nodded and said: "I believe you." As she said this, she took out two documents from her arms, put them on the table, and said: "This contains a list of all the Jin Kingdom's detailed works in Tokyo. In addition, there is this

This is the strategic map of the recent deployment of your Imperial Army."

"Awesome, I got it so quickly."

"Concession, concession." Zhang Chun'er smiled proudly and said: "There is another secret, which is also my last escape route. I believe this can also show my sincerity. You should know that after I become the proprietor of Jinlou,

Another building was immediately built near the Jinlou."

Li Qi was stunned and said, "I know that. Is there something unusual about that building?"

Zhang Chun'er said: "Of course, because there is a tunnel downstairs that leads directly to the outside of the city. This tunnel can also allow me to disappear into the capital without anyone noticing. In addition, it may be able to help Jin Jun a lot in the future."

Damn it, I never thought there would be a tunnel battle these days. Li Qi broke into a cold sweat and said, "Thank God, you finally chose the Song Dynasty."

Zhang Chun'er said: "I have told you everything I know. I hope you can keep your promise."

Li Qi chuckled: "You do believe me. You told me everything with just one sentence from me."

Zhang Chun'er said: "Maybe this is because I have been influenced by Mr. Fan. Since I have already planned to do this, I don't plan to give myself any room for maneuver. If you want to go back on your word, no matter how much you give me, you can still do it."

Regret, this is beyond my control, all I have to do is trust you."

Li Qi sincerely praised: "It seems that your success is no accident." As he said that, he picked up the two documents and read them. The further he looked down, the closer his brows were to the middle, as if he was thinking about something.

Although Zhang Chun'er's expression remained calm, there were beads of sweat on her forehead. To be honest, she couldn't figure out Li Qi's character. She was also very afraid that Li Qi would regret it and let her die without a burial place.

After quite a while, Li Qi suddenly raised his eyelids and said, "If I remember correctly, you just finished talking about Yan Zongwang's letter and asked you to continue to be an internal correspondent."

Zhang Chun'er was stunned and said: "Not bad."

Li Qidao: "In other words, he doesn't know that I have already discovered that you are a spy of the Kingdom of Jin?"

Zhang Chun'er said: "This is my only use value. How could I let him know about it? Of course, this is also thanks to you not doing anything excessive and treating me equally."

Li Qi chuckled: "I never thought that my temporary forbearance could achieve such an effect. But one thing makes me curious. You seem to have some influence in the court."

Zhang Chun'er was stunned for a moment and said: "You don't think this is the credit of the Jin Kingdom, do you?"

"To be honest, I have always thought so."

Zhang Chuner shook his head and said: "Of course not. It is impossible for the Kingdom of Jin to expose the relationship between us."

"Oh? Then how did you do it?"

"Money." Zhang Chuner said: "I gave them a lot of money, and the targets I relied on were all your opponents. They had no reason to reject me. In order to conceal my relationship with Jin Guo, I also borrowed money from you.

For economic construction, we used several ministers from the DPRK and China to 'get acquainted' with several nobles from the Jin Kingdom. Of course, this was all arranged in advance, so that our interactions would go smoothly."

"So that's it. I'm really stupid. I didn't even think of this." Li Qi shook his head depressedly and suddenly handed back the strategic map.

Zhang Chun'er said in surprise: "What do you mean?"

It turns out that you still know how to be afraid, and I still think you are so powerful. Li Qidao: "You have shown so much sincerity to me, of course I have to give you something in return. Have you ever thought about the key to your success? It’s not up to me, but whether the Song Dynasty can win. If the Jin Kingdom wins, then it won’t matter whether I keep my promise or not. Therefore, I will give you an opportunity to have the best of both worlds, so that you can stand on both sides. A place of defeat.”

Zhang Chun'er frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Li Qi curled his lips and said: "It's very simple, you continue to be the internal agent of the Jin Kingdom."

Zhang Chun'er was stunned for a moment, then understood and said: "I think this is the reason why you let me live."

Li Qi shook his head and said: "You can't say that. I am a person who keeps my promises. Even if you don't agree, I will not make things difficult for you. Of course, I will still give you special care before all this is over. God knows if this was a ploy between you and Wanyan Zongwang. Don’t blame me for being petty, because I really can’t afford to lose this battle.”
