The details of the upper and lower people in the shogunate of the king of the East China Sea have long been explored clearly by Zhang Wu. He knew very well that Cheng Hui was not comparable to the ordinary ministers close to the King of the East China Sea. The family origin of this person is said to be traced back to the ancient Yuxia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, and later the clan lived in Guangping, which was a famous family in Jizhou. His father, Cheng Yan, successively served as a high-ranking official such as a guard captain and a hussar general, and now he is a mastermind relied on by the king of the East China Sea with Henan Yin Pantao, Shangshu Liu Hui and others.

Although Cheng Hui himself has no knowledge, he was born in a high family after all, so he was appointed as an official when he was a teenager; happened to become the attendant of the king of the East China Sea when he served as the commander of Fengche, and the two formed a deep friendship. Later, when the kings were fighting, Cheng Hui followed the king of the East China Sea and gradually became a very trusted staff. After the shogunate was defeated and retreated to Juancheng, a large number of Cao's subordinates fled, and the remaining officials did not know what to do.

Since Cheng Hui is in power, a group of gangsters under him have also ascended to heaven. Zhang Wu made a lot of efforts to target these people, first contacted them as a fellow villager of Guangping in Jizhou, and then lured them to use the horses and animal power urgently needed by the shogunate, and slowly connected with Cheng Hui. However, Cheng Hui follows the side of the East Sea King every day, and it is very difficult to see; The correspondence between the two sides is mainly conveyed through subordinates. It wasn't until the day before yesterday that Zhang Wu invited him to come forward in person and watch the good horses he brought.

At that time, Cheng Hui was angry and instructed in his speech, which made Zhang Wu swallow a few vicious breaths. Now seeing Cheng Hui begging in panic, Zhang Wu secretly felt happy in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and still greeted him as earnestly as usual: "What is the hindrance of Uncle Honggong?" Could it be that you met a rioter on the road? Stolen of a carriage and property? ”

Cheng Hui didn't go on the road alone, with him, there were still more than a dozen unkempt, muddy, and extremely embarrassed companions. Although the weather was hot and humid, the clothes on their bodies were soaked in water and cold, and they still shivered from the cold. More than ten people supported each other, slowly following behind Cheng Hui, and they couldn't walk anymore. Zhang Wu glanced at his peers, and knew that most of these people were nobles in Juancheng, and they were deliberately dressed as civilians. He despised such acts in his heart, so he did not pay much attention to them, but only diligently brought Cheng Hui into the camp and gave up a simple tent that had not yet been demolished for them to live in; turned around and ordered his subordinates to prepare clean hot water and eat for a full stomach, and then ordered someone to bring a few horses with complete saddles, saying that they were given to Cheng Hui to use along the way.

Zhang Wu was born as a thief, his words were inevitably vulgar, and his kung fu was far less than that of people in the officialdom; If on weekdays, Cheng Hui prides himself on his noble status, no matter how much Zhang Wu greets him, he will be indifferent. But at the moment when perched like a frightened bird, such a real treatment is really different from the hardships and hardships experienced by everyone. The group immediately regarded Zhang Wu as a life-saving straw, and how to look at it was pleasing to the eye.

After a while, Zhang Wu had something to go out to arrange, and only Cheng Hui and the others were left in the tent sitting or lying on the ground exhausted. Cheng Hui reluctantly got up, opened the tent and looked out. Seeing that the whole camp had been almost cleaned up, Zhang Wuzheng was leading a few men in strong suits, using cowhide ropes to tie the animals and horses to the queue, and did not pay attention to the lonely tent; His men were busy with the business at hand, and none of them looked in the direction of the tent. This situation made Cheng Hui breathe a sigh of relief, put down the curtain and retreated back into the tent.

This kind of means of wanting to capture and indulge in the past was originally used by Zhang Wuxi when he was in the Taihang Mountains to harm business travelers. He had already arranged everything properly, but still relying on Cheng Hui's calculations, he would always fall into his own calculations, so he really didn't pay special attention to Cheng Hui's small actions. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Cheng Hui to come out of the tent again and get closer to Zhang Wu in circles: "Mr. Zhang, the situation is like this now...... What do you and your followers want? ”

"If we don't have to do business, where can we go? Before the thieves have closed the siege, they will set off to return home! Uncle Honggong, don't delay any longer, rest for a while, and leave quickly! ”

Zhang Wu's subordinates were all ready to go at this time, and Zhang Wu responded to Cheng Hui with a few words, and his footsteps did not stop at all. And Cheng Hui crackled and trampled on the mud in the woods, chasing after Zhang Wu: "Brother Zhang, don't be in a hurry." I still have a business here, a big business! ”

"It's true that I, Zhang Wu, am a businessman, but now that the thief is coming, how can I have the heart to talk about any business with Your Excellency?" Zhang Wuzong got on the horse, looked at Cheng Hui's exaggerated face and sighed, shaking the reins and about to set off.

Cheng Hui rushed forward a few steps, slammed the other end of the horse's reins, and forcibly stopped the horse. As his fat, sweaty face clung to the side of the horse's neck, the untrimmed mane poked into his nostrils, causing him to sneeze violently. Cheng Hui shouted loudly in the continuous sneezing: "This is a business that can bring you wealth and wealth!" Splash the sky and be rich! ”

Hearing Cheng Hui shouting like this, the whole team was in a commotion. Zhang Wu was also stunned, and his eyes were suspicious: "Eh...... Splashing wealth? ”

Cheng Hui nodded eagerly.

But Zhang Wu looked at Cheng Hui, straightened up and looked at the frightened and trapped fleeing crowd outside the forest, sneered, and pulled the reins again, as if he didn't take the so-called "pouring wealth and wealth" in his eyes at all.

"Slow down! Slow down! I don't know where Cheng Hui got the courage, so he pounced on it and hugged the horse's neck. This man was fat, and the weight of nearly two hundred catties was pressed down, which immediately forced the horse to neigh, and the front hooves stepped on the ground back and forth, making it difficult to move forward.

Zhang Wu's eyes flashed, and he finally turned over and dismounted helplessly, and said: "Shu Honggong, you are the minister of the king of the East China Sea, and everyone in Juancheng knows that you are a high lord and a powerful shogunate. To those of us who are lowly, you are like a god in the sky. If it was in the past, it would be a great blessing to be able to get your care. However, no matter how big the business is, you have to have your life to do it, right? Alas...... You'd better hurry up and catch up with the ranks of His Royal Highness the King of the East Sea. I waited for the small people to flee for their lives, and I didn't dare to expect too much. ”

Hearing Zhang Wu's words, Cheng Hui was not busy answering, only showing a hesitant look on his face.

After a while, he lowered his voice as if he had made up his mind: "Brother Zhang, the situation is like this, what you said is not unreasonable. It's just that...... Please keep my brother a little bit and follow me to the tent to see a man. After seeing this person, if my brother still insists on parting ways, I will not stop him! ”

Zhang Wuzhen didn't expect this change. He looked at the lonely tent behind Cheng Hui suspiciously, and suddenly felt a little nervous out of thin air.

"See who?" He couldn't help but raise his hand and press it on the hilt of the skullknife at his waist.

Cheng Hui waved his hands like windmills: "We have no malice, my brother doesn't have to be like this." What's more, a group of defenseless people in distress, where is it worth being so vigilant? It's just that this person's identity is special, so ...... Ahem, no matter what, it's good to trouble your brother to enter the account for a while. ”

Needless to say, Zhang Wu also felt that his measures seemed to show weakness. He snorted coldly, removed his hand from the hilt of the knife, and strode towards the tent: "I really don't know what kind of noble person he is. Cheng Gongcao: You said you want to see it, then let's see it! ”

The tent was lifted with a bang, and Zhang Wu stepped inside. The change from light to darkness made him instinctively feel that it was dark in front of him. Suddenly opened his eyes and looked forward, but saw that the more than ten embarrassed people of Shicai were all sitting upright, surrounded by a man in the middle like stars holding the moon. Without waiting for Zhang Wu to ask, someone shouted loudly: "Prime Minister, lead Yanzhou Mu, Governor Yanyu Si Jiyou and the military of the six states, His Royal Highness the King of the East China Sea is here, and he will not kneel down to see him!" ”

The King of the East Sea is here! Zhang Wu was taken aback. Somehow, I felt my legs go limp, and I fell to my knees with a pop.
