Chapter 108: Playing cards out of common sense
Zhuo Mufeng smiled and said, "Why should Lord Zhang be angry? Zhuo has no intention of humiliation. He just wants to meet his old friend. Please sit down."
He said he asked, but he lifted his hem and sat on the wooden chair in the yard first. He picked up the teapot on the wooden table, filled the two empty cups with tea, and pushed one of them to the opposite side.
Seeing this, the Zhang family sneered, but they were under the eaves and had to bow their heads. Moreover, Zhuo Mufeng was really unfavorable to him, so he couldn't resist it, so he simply broke the jar and gave up, walked over and sat down with a plain look on his face, picked up the teacup and started drinking.
It was in the evening that the smoke from the cooking stove in the village rose. The tired birds returned to their nests and sank into the woods dyed red by the sunset, and flew away the fallen leaves.
Not far away, there are several snow-white thousand-foot waterfalls falling down, and the water mist stirred up like a dream, rising layer by layer around a large area, making the surrounding mountain village look like a fairyland. There are also the mountains that are majestic and magnificent, crisscrossing to the end of the sky with clouds.
There are children in the village who hummed songs, women joking, and men laughing. It is a good thing to be in such a place that seems to be isolated from the hustle and bustle of the world and taste the best fragrant tea.
Even though the Zhang family was extremely depressed, when they felt this peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, their bodies couldn't help but relax slightly. They took a few deep breaths of fresh air in the mountains and fields, as if they were completely refreshed.
"How?" Zhuo Mufeng asked with a smile on his face.
Zhang Jiaquan sincerely praised: "It is indeed a paradise, and it is a different kind of fun than the world."
Zhuo Mufeng smiled and said, "It is rare that Lord Zhang likes it. Since that's the case, Lord Zhang might as well live here for a long time. There are no outsiders to disturb him, so it can ensure that Lord Zhang is safe and safe. There are also fertile fields to cultivate, flowers and plants to plant, and streams to fish. I believe that it will not make the adults bored."
Zhang Jiaquan narrowed his eyes: "Imprison Zhang?"
He was not stupid, but was still very smart. He was guessing Zhuo Mufeng's purpose, and then he laughed and said, "Why don't you ask Zhang directly about the location of Zhang's hundreds of thousands of soldiers? Such a concealment is not like your Zhuo Mufeng's style."
The Zhang family knew very well that the reason why all parties forced him to a dead end was not only because of being implicated by Zhuo Mufeng, but also because of being too strong.
It is no exaggeration to say that the combat effectiveness shown by his troops in recent years is definitely one level higher than that of all parties in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. As long as he is forced to death, the soldiers under his command who are willing to accompany him to death are a minority after all, and most of them are naturally the fat meat coveted by all parties!
Even his territory is second. He can fight at any time, but elite soldiers and generals are hard to come by.
Thinking of this, the ridicule on the corner of Zhang Jiaquan's mouth widened a little: "It's ridiculous that Zhang's old opponents mobilized all their troops, but in the end they made wedding dresses for others. Zhuo Mufeng, you are amazing this time! But I still want to advise you that although this place is secret, all parties in the world will mobilize, and no matter how secret it is, it will be found sooner or later. Once they find that Zhang is in your hands, you will not be dead if you have ten lives."
Zhuo Mufeng was also laughing, holding the cup and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't worry, all parties in the world will not look for you, because you are dead."
After hearing this suddenly, the Zhang family couldn't help but stagnate: "What do you mean?"
Zhuo Mufeng: "Mr. Zhang doesn't need to ask much. As long as you know, no one will look for you again. Even if Zhuo doesn't let you go, you are a dead person, that's enough. Also, Master Zhang's elite soldiers and generals, Zhuo certainly wants, but what Zhuo Mufeng wants more is actually Mr. Zhang, you!"
Zhang Jiaquan laughed loudly. After laughing, his expression turned cold and even unconcealed disdain: "Just because of your stinky child, you want Zhang to serve you? There is no room for negotiation on this matter, you dream!"
How could he not know Zhuo Mufeng's wishful thinking? Even if he forced the whereabouts of his subordinates from his mouth, Zhuo Mufeng would find it difficult to control hundreds of thousands of soldiers without him coming forward, but once he bowed his head and surrendered, everything would be different.
But for a proud and arrogant person like the Zhang family, this kind of thing is difficult to accept.
It is necessary to know that all his efforts and efforts were destroyed by Zhuo Mufeng. Now he was captured again and tasted the humiliation. Now the other party still wants to accept him as his subordinate and make a fortune. How can such a cheap thing be!
Zhuo Mufeng was not surprised by the other party's reaction. When he came, Lou Linxuan reminded him that he should not be too hasty, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang is such a bad word. In ancient times, great sages were born to know that they were not as good as the crown of the weak. The so-called hero is not old. How can a person be defined by age? With Master Zhang's mind, there is such a prejudice?"
Zhang Jiaquan did not hide the ridicule on his face: "Are you worthy of competing with the ancient great sage?"
Zhuo Mufeng: "Of course I'm not worthy, but at least Zhuo captured you, sir."
The face was thrust hard. In fact, the Zhang family had never figured out a crucial issue. At this moment, they finally couldn't help it: "How did you guess that Yuanchen and Zhang Dingkang are mine?"
If it hadn't been guessed, Zhuo Mufeng would not have let Wu Guanting go straight to Hengyang City from the beginning, waiting for the rabbit to wait there, and then he would not have asked him to write a letter to Yuan and Zhang to instruct the retreat.
From the analysis of the situation along the way, no one noticed it, but this kid saw through it, which really made the Zhang family curious and helpless.
Zhuo Mufeng smiled and said, "I'm just a yellow-haired child with a stinky breast. How can I see through the adult's trick?" At this point, he suddenly stopped abruptly.
Then, in Zhang Jiaquan's dumbfounded expression, Zhuo Mufeng stood up and left the yard directly.
Let's leave now? The Zhang family was obviously surprised. In his vision, Zhuo Mufeng had to be very careful and even acted as a respectful and polite person in order to make him surrender. Isn't this the most correct way to do it? What does it mean now?
Could it be that his previous inspiration really angered the other party? But I can't even stand this little anger, and I want him to bow down and obey orders. Isn't it too sincere?
The Zhang family was a little stunned. A hero like him always pays attention to the most. Pros and cons. According to the current situation, his resignation to Zhuo Mufeng is the only opportunity to survive and make a comeback.
As for face, what is that?
I used to take Giotto to express my attitude so that Zhuo Mufeng could lower his figure appropriately to raise his value and eliminate the embarrassment and humiliation of previous failures as much as possible.
But Zhuo Mufeng didn't play according to common sense and didn't even do the minimum posture. Could it be that he would take the initiative to bow his head and come up to serve his life?
Even with Zhang Jiaquan's face, it is impossible to do such a disgraceful thing. Moreover, if he really does this, he will greatly reduce his position with Zhuo Mufeng, which is not conducive to future plans.
However, Zhang Jiaquan is a person who has experienced a lot of trouble. When he thought about it, he suddenly realized. The other party was clearly scheming and deliberately hung him first, hoping to make him confused. Then he would speak at the right time, so that he would have no room for rejection.
"Zhang is not in a hurry. Now that hundreds of thousands of men have gone to the South China Sea, outsiders can't find it easily. Even if they find it, Zhang has prepared a way out for them. On the contrary, you, Zhuo Mufeng, can only stay in such a small mountain village now. Zhang wants to see who can't stand it first!"
When he went south, Zhang Jiaquan had already ordered the marches of various cities to join the army. There was no doubt that Liu Ye from Baijiang City should have left. Even if Zhuo Mufeng detained the other party, it would be useless and could not drive the local army.
Therefore, the Zhang family had all reason to believe that Baijiang City at this moment should have fallen into the hands of the governors from all sides. Without his troops and horse support, and because of the assassination of the Northern Qi Emperor, the world would be destined to be without Zhuo Mufeng's place!
To put it bluntly, if the other party wants to get out of the predicament, he must slap him. Since that's the case, why are he still anxious?
After a smile, the Zhang family sat down again, poured himself a cup of tea, drank half a sip, leaving fragrance on his lips and teeth. He looked at the beautiful scenery around him leisurely, thinking that he had worked hard for most of his life and was just a good time to take a break this time.
When he arrived in another yard, Zhuo Mufeng described the meeting with Zhang Jiaquan.
After hearing this, Lou Linxuan said helplessly: "I'm afraid that the son-in-law's situation has been guessed by the Zhang family. The other party is so confident that it is a little more difficult to subdue."
Zhuo Mufeng sneered: "That guy is just an old fox. He deliberately aroused me with words and wanted me to take the initiative to bow my head. In this way, what prestige can I have?"
Lou Linxuan remained silent, but could understand Zhuo Mufeng's thoughts.
Unfortunately, the Zhang family is not a simple person. If you don’t follow him, he will not be able to follow you. You can’t use force when dealing with such people. Otherwise, even if he surrenders verbally, you will not dare to use it in the future. After all, those hundreds of thousands of soldiers still have to be commanded by the Zhang family, and there is no replacement for it for the time being.
Zhuo Mufeng was so angry that he said: "It really doesn't work, so he can only ask Balong to feed him some medicine and threaten him with his life." He made this plan at the beginning, but Lou Linxuan rejected it, thinking that he could try other ways, so he didn't take action.
Thinking of another thing, Zhuo Mufeng asked again: "By the way, have those two Demon Emperor Beads been found?" He was forced to hand over the two Demon Emperor Beads to the Zhang family. Now the situation has changed, so of course he has to get them back.
Lou Linxuan nodded: "Balong has returned this morning and retrieved the things at the place provided by Zhang Jiaquan. I have followed your instructions and ordered him to hide the things."
"It's so good." Zhuo Mufeng looked at the sky and said, "There's not much time now, let's go back soon, otherwise the people from the Demon Sect will definitely ask questions."
The Zhang family was wrong. Zhuo Mufeng did not live here, but lived in Fengyang City controlled by the Demon Sect.
Some time ago, Baijiang City lost its army to guard. Of course, Aunt Lei and his men would not sit still and wait for death. They returned to Fengyang City very early. This is the foundation of the Demon Sect, and the generals of the army also came from the Demon Sect. They are still guaranteed for the time being.
Of course, Zhuo Mufeng and others followed. However, according to Lou Linxuan's judgment, when the governors from all sides had a good cake, Fengyang City would not be able to defend long, and sooner or later it would be destroyed.
This is also the biggest reason why Zhuo Mufeng is eager to surrender Zhang Jiaquan.
