The She Tuo family has a much worse influence in the Yan Army Department of Heishui Town. Even if Daxia can truly stand tall in Western Xia, it will be difficult for their She Tuo family to change this situation.

If the Song Dynasty gets Western Xia in the future, it would be a chance for them. After all, the Emperor of Song has made a promise to rescue the Empress.

In fact, when She Tuohu heard Wu Shangyun say that he had negotiated with Zhao Dongting at the top of the city, he was already moved. He was just a little regretful that their She Tuo family did not dominate the Great Xia army now.

Of course, he has to say that. If he had dominated, he would not have been so moved.

Whether it is usurping the throne and becoming emperor or using the emperor to command the princes, these top families are even more tempting.

If She Tuohu hadn't deliberately pretended that he still had the initiative, he would have gone to the Military Information Department to take the initiative and not let others come to his mansion.

Near night.

Zhu Kangcheng, a wealthy businessman who has become famous in the past few years, almost monopolized the city's grain business, brought several servants to the mansion where She Tuohu temporarily lived with gifts.

This is not a rare thing.

No one knows what Xixia will look like in the future when the Daxia army took over Zhongxing Mansion. These merchants are best at getting along with each other. Not only Zhu Kangcheng came to see She Tuohu, but also Wu Shangyun and other residences also had merchants coming to the door every day, each carrying generous gifts, and endlessly.

The purpose is to let the Daxia army let them go. After all, the Daxia army now controls the city, and they really don’t like it. They lead their troops to rob their property, and they have nothing to say.

This has not happened in the past ten days.

Of course, She Tuohu would not greet him in person. Zhu Kangcheng was only taken in by the soldiers.

The guards in the mansion were very strict, and guards wearing armor were almost everywhere. This originally elegant mansion seemed quite solemn.

Zhu Kangcheng, who is big belly, is about forty years old, has very small eyes and a businessman's humility on his face. Nowadays, no matter how rich a businessman is, his social status is not high.

Zhu Kangcheng, who looks like this, was probably no one who would have thought that he would be a spy from the Song Dynasty. Moreover, his status among spys is not very high.

The status of the spies of the Song Dynasty was never directly linked to their wealth or identity. Because their identities on the surface were all just disguised.

Perhaps, the person who is at its peak in a certain place is just the lowest spy. The farmer who carries the load and sells vegetables in the city may be his immediate superior.

This was all arranged by the two Military Information Offices, Wu Lianying and Xuan Xue, under the instruction of Zhao Dongting, in order to make the Military Information Office of the Song Dynasty more mysterious and elusive.

After Zhu Kangcheng followed the guards to the main hall of the mansion, he saw She Tuohu sitting in the main seat with a big golden sword.

In front of him was a pretty young woman, half-kneeling on the ground, timidly pinching her legs.

Zhu Kangcheng entered the house and bowed to She Tuo, "Zhu Kangcheng has met General She Tuo."

A soldier brought the gifts he brought in.

Open the box, there are boxes of cloth, boxes of calligraphy and paintings, and boxes of gold, silver and jewelry.

Even She Tuohu was a little surprised. Unexpectedly, Zhu Kang was so concealed that he was really willing to spend such a lot of money.

Although She Tuohu may not take these things seriously, these things are definitely valuable.

He smiled a little on his face and said, "I wish you politely, boss."

Then waved your hand gently, "You all go down!"

Several guards left the house.

She Tuohu took away the maid's hand and said, "You go down too."

The maid was stunned and responded prettyly, then walked out of the house.

She Tuohu reached out to Zhu Kangcheng and smiled and said, "Come on, Boss Zhu, please sit here."

Zhu Kangcheng smiled embarrassedly: "How can this make the villain dare not be on the right seat with the general..."

She Tuohu said, "You can sit in the toilet, you don't need to be polite."

Zhu Kangcheng walked to She Tuohu with panic and sat down.

She Tuogu's expression suddenly became a little deeper, and she said in a low voice: "I wonder what conditions Emperor Song is willing to give me?"

The humility on Zhu Kangcheng's face disappeared silently, and he chuckled: "The conditions given to Wu Shangyun by the emperor are the conditions given to you by General She Tuohu."

"really?"

She Tuohu couldn't control her joy, and even a surprise light flashed through her eyes.

He asked himself that the She Tuo family could no longer be compared with the Wu family. Zhao Dongting's ability to give him such conditions has already met all his longings.

Zhu Kangcheng nodded slightly, but said, "I don't know, General She Tuo is confident that he will send the empress out of the city safely and sound?"

She Tuohu smashed her mouth and didn't dare to answer this easily.

Zhu Kangcheng said quietly: "General She Tuo, if he can save the empress, then everything will be easy to say. If he fails to save the empress, and the empress will encounter something unexpected, then your She Tuo family... will not need to continue."

She Tuogu changed color in a panic and said, "If I think about it again, I will come up with a complete solution."

Zhu Kangcheng said again: "I have a way, but I don't know if General She Tuo has the courage."

She Tuohu frowned and pondered for a while, and whispered: "I hope to hear the details."

Zhu Kangcheng said: "I can send a message to the emperor and send a large army to the city again. At that time, Wu Shangyun and others will definitely lead their troops to the city to resist. Regardless of whether they take the empress or not, you should have a chance. They will not be too prepared for you, right? Perhaps, General She Tuo, you can kill them all on the city and make more contributions. What do you think?"

She Tuohu had some discoloration.

He is not a fool either. Although Zhu Kangcheng's method is indeed good, he also wants to get the danger.

After a while, he said, "In this way, wouldn't I be the target of public criticism in the city?"

Zhu Kangcheng said: "Enterprises often coexist with danger, just like when we do business. The greater the profit, the greater the risk. The goods from the Western Xia to the Song Dynasty may have twice the profit. If they are shipped to the Western Regions and other places, they can have several times the profit. But the dangers on the way to the Western Regions are not comparable on the way to the Song Dynasty. As long as General She Tuo, you can support our Song Dynasty imperial guards to break through the city, do you still have to be afraid that Wu Shangyun and others can do what you can do with you?"

She Tuohu frowned and said, "What if I can't snatch the empress?"

Zhu Kangcheng's expression became serious, "What we emperor wants is the empress safe and sound. If General She Tuo can't even do this, then... is not qualified to cooperate with us."

His meaning is very obvious, that is, if She Tuohu cannot save the empress, then even if She Tuohu takes risks, it will not matter to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Dongting could come to Xixia for Li Xiushu, but he would never forcibly break the city for She Tuo's protection and ignore the empress's life.

She Tuohu pondered for a long time again.

Finally, he nodded slightly and said, "Then please send a message to Emperor Song!"

Zhu Kangcheng looked at him deeply, "General She Tuo should be sincere, right?"

She Tuohu said, "How dare I joke about the entire She Tuo family."

"good."

Zhu Kangcheng then stood up, bowed to She Tuo's archery, and walked outside the mansion.

On that night, the shopkeeper and Jun Tianfang learned that She Tuohu had agreed to cooperate.

The shopkeeper asked Jun Tianfang: "Best-in-law, are you passing the news to the emperor now and letting him lead his army to attack the city?"

Jun Tianfang shook his head and said, "Aren't you still involved with the head general of the Sikong family in Xiping Army? Let's see how he said it!"

Jun Tianfang knew that Zhao Dongting wanted to save Li Xiushu. Therefore, he was not satisfied with the only agreement with She Tuohu.

What he wants is foolproof.

The power of the She Tuo family alone may not be able to seize food from a tiger's mouth and snatch Li Xiushu safely. But if the Sikong family is added, the possibility will be much higher.

The shopkeeper just nodded when he heard this, "Okay!"

At night, Zhu Kangcheng, who had just left She Tuohu's mansion for a short time, went to the residence of Sikong Heng, the head of the Xiping Army.

Sikong Heng is the eldest son of Sikong Lie, the head of the Sikong family. He is both civil and military. He is an outstanding figure among the children of the Gao family. He is far from being a playboy like his younger brother Sikong Luo. Although the Sikong family, which was in charge of the Xiping Army, was not as strong as the other three, now, because the She Tuo family is not as good as before, they are no longer a relatively transparent existence among the four families.
