Chen Zhen's sudden request for a visit caught Zhang He and others off guard, fearing that there might be a trap. In order to reassure both parties, Zeng Ji asked Uncle Tang to serve as a witness, and the two of them swore to each other to ensure the safety of each other's lord. This kind of oath mainly showed the sincerity of both parties.

, of course, if one party breaks the oath, it will cause some disturbance in the world, but compared to these important figures, that disturbance is actually nothing.

As far as Lord Xinling is concerned, there is no benefit in murdering Chen Zhen, and there is no problem with Chen Zhen's safety. But for Chen Zhen, murdering Lord Xinling may promote the peace talks between Wei and Qin. After all, there are rumors that

, one of the conditions in exchange for the peace between Wei and Qin was to kill or at least abolish Lord Xinling. This made Zhang Noi very worried, fearing that he would accidentally fall into the opponent's trap. But no matter how he thought, he couldn't think of anything.

There could be some kind of trap in it, unless Chen Xun dared to attack Huayang City in the middle of thousands of troops. If so, he would almost certainly not be able to escape. This kind of behavior of perishing together is not Chen Xun's style of doing things; unless

He won't come by himself.

Mr. Zhongyue said: "Mr. Chen used himself as a bait to trap and kill the emperor without any plan. He used his intention to speak to the emperor, and he is the one who is superior to the emperor. Sir, you don't have to worry about it, but I have to prepare for it secretly."

, just in case something unexpected happens.”

Zhang Ye also felt that it was not appropriate to hesitate. If there was any danger, he could only act according to the situation, so he entered the mansion. Mr. Xinling, who had rare leisure, was sitting in the courtyard, chatting with a group of guests. Seeing Zhang Ye come in, everyone stood up to greet him.

He asked Zhang Ye to sit down. Zhang Ye did not say any more gossip and said directly: "Brother Zeng has something to say. Mr. Chen will see you tomorrow."

When Lord Xinling heard this, he bowed his head and said, "Sir, please come to the hall and talk about it."

The guests knew that this was a confidential matter, so they moved aside to let the two of them enter the hall.

After sitting down, Lord Xinling asked excitedly: "Would you like to hear the details?"

Zhang He said: "Brother Zeng sneaked into Huayang and met with me. He told Mr. Chen that he would sneak into Ba Shi's carriage house in the south of the city with the grain transport convoy the next day. He would like to meet you at the carriage house."

Lord Xinling said: "If Chen Gong sneaks into Huayang, I should go out to meet him as a way to respect the virtuous."

Zhang He said: "Mr. Chen, who is the most important thing in the world and the concern of safety, should not be exposed and hidden. Your Majesty, Mr. Wei, is responsible for the importance of the family and the country, and the ancestral temple depends on it. You should not live under the eaves of danger. You should do both.

When the state is in battle and the troops are facing each other, it is not advisable for the king or the duke to be exposed lightly, but to hide deeply. Therefore, when Chen Gong sneaks in and the young master sneaks up to meet him, he will gain something."

Lord Xinling said: "Sincerity is what Mr. Ruo said. I don't care about it. Once I listen to Mr. Xin's teachings."

Zhang He said: "Brother Zeng has made an appointment. When the king and the duke are meeting, each person should be accompanied by one person. There is no need for more. Therefore, those who follow are the minister and Brother Zeng."

Lord Xinling said: "It should be so!"

Zhang Ye said: "Brother Zeng and my ministers swore that Uncle Tang would be the middle one, and each would risk his life to keep the other master safe!"

Lord Xinling said: "What do you mean by this? Would I rather conspire with Chen Gonggong?"

Zhang Ye said: "Mr. Chen is here. He doesn't know the truth. He's afraid there might be a conspiracy, so he should take precautions."

Lord Xinling said: "Sir, you have passed. Mr. Chen, the security of the country depends on it. How can you break your promise and make a mistake? His words are only for the meeting, and there must be no other. Sir, don't worry."

Zhang He said: "It is especially fearful that someone pretends to be a villain and acts like a villain. So we have to be on guard against him."

Mr. Xinling thought for a while and said, "Brother Zeng made an appointment with Mr. Zeng, so I can't forgive him."

Zhang He said: "Brother Zeng and I believe it, but what you and your Majesty are doing is so big that they may be taken advantage of by villains. I asked Mr. Zhongyue to make secret preparations. One day, your Majesty and your Majesty surrendered and sneaked into Ba's carriage.

Go, I should preemptively subdue all the gentlemen and submit them to him. I will guard you first and then guard the duke. Everything I drink and eat will be handled by my hands. There will be no harm done. The king will stay inside and the ministers will stay outside. Wait for the duke to talk to Zeng.

When my brother arrives, you will come out to greet him."

Lord Xinling said: "Why don't we all welcome the Tao?"

Zhang He said: "Mr. Chen, you don't want people to know you, and your Majesty doesn't want people to know you either. We should welcome each other and treat each other with courtesy. Would you rather not be known?"

Lord Xinling said: "The chariot company secretly ambush the gentlemen. I am afraid that it is not a promise and that I have broken my promise to the public. I cannot do this."

Zhang Xian said: "Now that Mr. Chen has entered Huayang, his safety is at stake. How can it be child's play? How can he be safe if he leaves it to others? He must be able to take care of his confidants, and only then can he take care of his safety. Mr. Kuangzhong is driving with his car.

If you do this in public, it is not a breach of trust or a breach of contract.”

Lord Xinling said: "Sir, it is okay to do it at your own discretion. I want him, Mr. Chen, whom I respect. I am lucky to meet you. You must not lose your respect, your courtesy and virtues, and you must treat each other with trust and justice."

It’s a little bit uneven.”

Zhang Zhuo said: "Here you go!" He said goodbye and left.

After he came out, he found Mr. Zhongyue and said, "Is it okay to send people to the Bashi Car Company in advance?"

Mr. Zhongyue said: "Would you rather not be noticed by Mr. Chen?"

Zhang He said: "I have thought about it again and again. When Mr. Chen enters Huayang, he must be safe and cannot be ignored. Ba Shi and I don't know our confidants, so it is difficult to ensure his safety. We must pay attention to the confidants."

Mr. Zhongyue said: "If Sir says yes, this is easy to do. There are only a few people in Bashi's carriage house. It is okay to send ten more gentlemen into the carriage house. But we should go in first to be prepared."

Zhang He said: "I can only trust you sir."

The two of them did not dare to trust others. Firstly, the meeting between Chen and Wei was confidential, and the less known the better; secondly, the matter was of great importance, and the final matter had to be resolved by them, so it would be safer to do it in person.

After Mr. Zhongyue explained what he was doing, he and Zhang Ye went out of the south gate and went straight to the Bashi Car dealership.

The Bashi Automobile Dealership is located on the south-bound avenue of Huayang City, about two miles away from Huayang City, and is located outside the market. This is where it differs from the other three dealerships: the other dealerships try to be as close to the city as possible.

, Chen's Car Shop is even right under the city wall. - Maybe it's because Ba's Car Shop opens late and the good spots near the city are occupied by others.

The two of them walked to the car dealership and knocked on the door. The people from the car dealership recognized Zhang Yue and Mr. Zhong Yue and hurriedly welcomed them in, notifying the family manager that he was meeting the head of the family.

Bazai was the first to come out. Although he was surprised, he still greeted them politely. He invited the two of them to sit down in the hall, and he went downstairs to accompany them. At the same time, he ordered the wine to be served.

After a while, two people, an old man and a young man, came out from behind the screen. Ba Zai introduced: "This is Ba's father-in-law and his youngest son. This is Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yue from the general's residence."

The old man in front of him bowed first and said: "We are a humble family, but our family is pure. How lucky we are to have all the princes here!"

Zhang He and Mr. Zhong Yue both saluted politely and said, "It's a pleasure to meet Zhongfu, and it's a pleasure to meet Ji Zi."

Ba Min offered sake to the two of them from the jar between the banquets. He lowered his hands and lowered his eyebrows and said: "Sir, when you pass the government, there must be military affairs. I dare not violate it. I am willing to listen to it."

Zhang Ye said: "How many people are there in your house, both high and low?"

Ba Min said: "All members of the Hefu are members of the Ba clan, old and young, men and women, a total of twenty-one people."

Zhang Ye said: "One day, a noble man is visiting me. He wants to live in your mansion and a blessed place. Is it okay to meet him?"

Ba Min said: "What's the difficulty? Our family will live in another courtyard temporarily, or move to another place temporarily. I will obey your orders."

Zhang He said: "Pa's hospitality is enough. I would like to ask ten people to help."

Ba Min said: "If you are in need, noble man, but I don't mind saying anything, I will sweep the court to prepare for it."

Zhang Zhuo said: "I would like to hear about it."

Ba Min said: "This is the lobby, which is the most spacious and can accommodate guests. It has quiet rooms and other courtyards."

Zhang Ye said: "I would like to go and see it."

Ba Min said: "I am a humble concubine." A group of five people came out and inspected each courtyard. The carriage house was very large, with two courtyards on the east and west sides, and a backyard behind the middle courtyard. On both sides of the backyard were cattle pens and stables, with four animals raised.

There were horses and five cows; there were cars next to them. The lonely backyard seemed very abrupt, but because there were women, a few people just passed by the door in a hurry and did not go in. After seeing these yards, Mr. Zhang Yue and Mr. Zhong Yue felt that

There are some flaws: the place is too big and there are too many courtyards. It is easy to accommodate a hundred people, but ten people will definitely not be able to control it. In the end, it was decided that the central courtyard is easier to control. If something happens, you can evacuate at any time.

The plan was decided. The two discussed the personnel stationed there and secretly informed them that Lord Xinling would meet with distinguished guests tomorrow. The gentlemen dressed up as mediocre car dealers and dispersed around the house. They must ensure the safety of both the guests and the host. That night, this

The ten people immediately entered the car dealership, their attires had been decided, and each of them had determined their position and role. Seeing the gentlemen in their respective places, Zhang Noi and Mr. Zhong Yue felt a little relieved.

After breakfast the next day, Lord Xinling put on the fur gifted by Liang Bugu over his clothes to hide his identity. Because this kind of fur can be used by anyone from princes to wealthy businessmen and wealthy slaves.

There are no grade regulations for purchasing. Zhang Yue did not change his clothes. He was still dressed as a scholar. He only put on the iron sword he had received. When he arrived at the car dealership, he called to open the door. Ba's uncle and nephew were already waiting at the door, followed by Bazhai.

.We all went to the hall together, and Ba did not dare to claim to be the host, so he only sat at the bottom, giving up the host position to Xin Lingjun. After drinking and chatting, Xinling Jun asked about the origin of Ba's ancestry, and Ba Min replied: "

Ba's family originated from Ba and was named after Yan. There was cinnabar in the land, which was inexhaustible, so he took it as a career. After passing the voice of Zheng and Wei, he lived in Huayang. In the Qing Dynasty, Ba's direct grandson was intelligent and thought he could help Yan.

"

Zhang Ye glanced at Ba Qing secretly, and saw that he just lowered his eyebrows and looked down, hardly spoke, and had few expressions. He seemed a bit dull, and he couldn't tell where his "sexual intelligence" was reflected.

Lord Xinling asked about the situation of cinnabar again, and learned that the vermilion lacquer woodware in Chu was worth a lot of gold, and it was all due to the color of cinnabar. The silk cloth was brown, red, vermilion, purple and other colors, all dyed layer by layer with cinnabar. Ba Min

He seemed to be very knowledgeable and interested in the cinnabar business. He talked endlessly about cinnabar. Mr. Xinling listened with a smile, just to increase his knowledge.

The rumble of carriages and horses was heard in the distance, and Zhang Noi said: "This must be Zheng's carriage."

Ba Min said: "It's the right time to transport food every day."

Zhang Ye said: "I'll go out and observe it."

Ba Qing suddenly said: "I would like to follow my father to observe."

Zhang Nou's heart trembled and he asked, "Where did Ji Zi come from?"

Ba Qing said: "My father lives alone outside the house, how can I treat guests with courtesy? Father Zhong serves nobles at home, and Qing serves gentlemen outside the home. This is also etiquette."

Lord Xinling said: "He Xian and his son are so kind to you!"
