When Li Yuan entered Chang'an Hou, he originally agreed to grant the Minister of Works to the Dugu family, but in the end he granted it to the Warriors, which made the Dugu family very dissatisfied and naturally became hostile to the Warriors, believing that he had taken away the position of Secretary of the Dugu family.

This time, the warrior was transferred to the governor of Jingzhou, and Li Yuan granted Dugu Huai'en the position of Minister of Works to Dugu Huai'en. Although this move slightly alleviated the Dugu family's dissatisfaction with Li Yuan, it could not eliminate their hostility towards the warrior. Just like a pure and beautiful girl who was snatched away by the warrior, the founding minister of the Ministry of Works, who originally belonged to the Dugu family, had been defiled by this damn warrior.

Zhai Rang would not understand the grudge between the Dugu family and the warriors. He thought they belonged to different factions. It is said that the prince's sect and the Qin King's sect in Chang'an had begun to show signs.

The three of them walked into the lobby, and Zhai Rang introduced them to the military advisor Fang Xuanzao. The four of them took the seats in the same place. The warrior sat down without saying a word. Dugu Huaien occupied the aura alone.

Dugu Huaien smiled and said, "I will first convey the greetings of His Highness the Crown Prince to Duke Zhai. He misses Wagang very much and is also grateful for the kindness Zhai treating him in Wagang."

Zhai Rang was really a little embarrassed. It was him who drove Li Jiancheng away, which happened two years ago. That scene was still vivid in my mind. Zhai Rang said ashamedly: "The split of Wagang was a last resort. I personally hope Jiancheng stayed, but"

Dugu Huaien hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong. Your Highness of the Crown Prince has no intention of blaming Mr. Zhai. He said that if Mr. Zhai didn't say that he would leave, he would leave. It was urgent to establish a foundation in Hanoi County. He was very grateful to Mr. Zhai for giving him the army and food, and the emperor was also very grateful to Mr. Zhai."

Zhai Rang was a little stunned. Why did Li Yuan be grateful to him?

Dugu Huaien took out a letter and presented it to Zhai Rang with both hands. This was a handwritten letter from the emperor to Zhai Gong, a private letter. Zhai Rang was tight-lipped about the identity of the prince back then, not only saved the prince, but also saved the emperor's family. They always had gratitude to Zhai Gong.

Zhai Rang then realized that it was because of this, but he did say a word. Bohai would have doubts about Li Jiancheng's identity at the beginning. Gao Hui used Zhai Hong to repeatedly test himself, but he never showed any verbal words. Think about it, if Bohai would know that Li Mi's true identity was Li Jiancheng, how serious the consequences would be.

Thinking of this, Zhai Rang felt a little proud. He really made contributions to the Li family.

He opened Li Yuan's letter. Li Yuan was very polite in the letter. First of all, he was grateful to him for treating and protecting his eldest son Jiancheng. The whole family remembered it in his heart. After a change of topic, Li Yuan knew that he was in a difficult situation and was very willing to help him. He hoped that he would come to Chang'an to be an official, and promised to be named Duke Hua, a special promotion, and a great general. At the end of the letter, there were a few words written by Li Jiancheng, which were almost the same. I recalled Wagang and missed my old love. I hope Zhai Rang would not forget that General Li Er was still in Chang'an.

Zhai Rang was very moved and sighed. He silently put away the letter and pondered for a moment and said to Dugu Huaien: "How can Zhai Rang refuse the Holy Lord's beautiful intentions? It's just that it came too suddenly and there were a lot of things in his heart. Wait for Zhai Rang to sort out tonight and give Dugu Shangshu a clear answer tomorrow morning."

Dugu Huaien agreed happily, "Okay! I'll wait for good news from Mr. Zhai tomorrow morning."

Zhai Rang sent his confidant to send Dugu Huaien and Wu Shiyan to the VIP hotel for a rest. He read Li Yuan's letter repeatedly and said to Fang Xuanzao in confusion: "I really don't understand. Li Yuan asked me to surrender, but how did I go to Chang'an?"

Fang Xuanzao smiled and said, "Dugu Huaien said a lot of glossy and noble words, but there is no practical meaning. The real useful person is the warrior, and Mr. Zhai should ask him."

Zhai Rang slapped his head hard, "I'm really confused. Wu Shishi told me just now that he is Sima in the Qin King's Army, obviously just hinting at me, but I didn't hear it."

Zhai Rang quickly sent his personal soldiers to secretly invite the warrior to come back.

At this moment, a personal soldier reported in the hall, "Report to the king, the king joins the army to ask for an emergency!"

"Let him come in!" Zhai Rang was a little confused. What would happen to Wang Bo be so late?

Soon, Wang Bo hurried into the lobby. After Wang Bo was defeated in Langya County, he defected to the Wagang Army. He had a good personal relationship with Zhai Rang, and Zhai Rang treated him quite well, so he asked him to serve as the Wagang Army's director and join the army, and was in charge of logistics and food.

Wang Bo just received a report from his confidant that the Tang Dynasty envoy came to visit Zhai Rang in secret, which really scared him. He hurried to see Zhai Rang.

"See Mr. Zhai, please refer to the military advisor!"

"Wang Zongjun, is there anything important?" Zhai Rang asked with a smile.

Wang Bo took out a letter and said straight to the point: "This is a handwritten letter from King Shichong of Luoyang to Mr. Zhai!"

Zhai Rang was stunned. He stared at Wang Bo and asked, "Have you surrendered to Wang Shichong?"

"Absolutely not!"

Wang Bo firmly denied it and explained: "If Bei Zhi surrendered to him, he would not call him his name directly. The reason why Bei Zhi had Wang Shichong's letter was because this morning, an old subordinate from Changbai Mountain found Bei Zhi, and he asked me to pass this letter to Mr. Zhai. Before that, Bei Zhi had never had any contact with Wang Shichong. Every sentence of Bei Zhi is true. If there is any betrayal of Duke Zhai, heaven and earth will be destroyed!"

Wang Bo made a poisonous oath, and Zhai Rang believed it and smiled and said, "I'll just say it! How could a virtuous brother be such an unbearable person? At least he should choose Zhang Xuan if he wants to surrender. How could he surrender to Wang Shichong?"

Wang Bo was a little embarrassed and quickly bowed and said, "Bizhi is just here to send this letter, it has nothing to do with Wang Shichong. Beizhi said goodbye!"

Wang Bo said goodbye and hurriedly left. Zhai Rang looked at his back and asked coldly: "Does the military advisor think he is telling the truth?"

"Most of them should be true. Maybe Wang Shichong promised him something, so he personally hoped that Zhai Gong would surrender to Luoyang. However, this person is a smart person and will not put himself in a desperate situation. Zhai Gong doesn't have to worry about him."

Zhai Rang nodded. At this critical moment, all kinds of forces jumped out. He had received a letter from Xiao Xian before.

Zhai Rang opened Wang Shichong's letter and read it. In the letter, Wang Shichong promised him to be King Cao. As long as he was willing to surrender to Luoyang, Wang Shichong promised to allocate Dongjun and Xingyang County to him as kingly land. The army would continue to hand over to him to command and ensure his military rations supply, which was astonishingly rich.

Zhai Rang handed the letter to Fang Xuanzao, "Let's take a look!"

Fang Xuanzao took the letter and read it, and asked without saying a word: "What about Mr. Zhai himself?"

Zhai Rang shook his head, "He is still the King of Zheng himself, why should he be named King of Cao?"

"This is not a big problem. Emperor Tai is his puppet. He can enfeoff anyway. And it is estimated that Wang Shichong will usurp the throne soon, so he dares to make such a big deal. However, there are many unreliable things in Wang Shichong's promises, so I advise Mr. Zhai to not consider it."

"Tell me, where are the unreliable places?" Zhai Rang became a little interested.

"First of all, the king he was granted was unreliable. Wang Shichong's territory was just a land of Heluo, but he liked to be kings. Now there are a lot of kings in Luoyang. If Wang Shichong ascended the throne, I guess the prince's hat would definitely fly all over the sky, and King Zhai Gong, Cao, would not be very valuable."

Zhai Rang frowned, "It's true. I don't dare to understand this, so he promised to give me the territory, which should be a real seal."

"This is the second unreliable place!"

Fang Xuanzao smiled and said, "Dong County is in Zhang Xuan's hands. Why should Wang Shichong grant it to Duke Zhai? His meaning was to let Duke Zhai attack Dong County by himself, followed by Xingyang County. Xingyang County is the core place of King Zheng. Wang Shichong will only grant it to his son. How could it be given to outsiders? Besides, Zhang Xuan has occupied Xingyang County now, and whether it can be taken back is still the same. From these two low-ranking positions, we can see that Wang Shichong's sincerity is worrying."

Zhai Rang's face suddenly became gloomy. He was about to attack, but he saw that Fang Xuanzao seemed to have not finished speaking, so he held back his anger and said, "Sir, continue talking, I'll listen."

"The third is that Wang Shichong dares not offend Zhang Xuan. From the alliance between Wang Shichong and Zhang Xuan and not choosing Li Yuan, we can see that Wang Shichong is asking for Zhang Xuan. In fact, what he wants is just Mr. Zhai's army. If Zhang Xuan asks Wang Shichong to hand over Mr. Zhai, Wang Shichong has already eaten the Peach. Will Mr. Zhai think he will spit out the skin?"

Three unreliable skins of Wang Shichong were peeled clean, and Zhai Rang was furious, "Wang Hu'er bullies others too much!"

Zhai Rang was so angry that he wanted to tear off Wang Shichong's letter. Fang Xuanzao hurriedly stopped him, "Don't tear him up, this letter can be handed over to Li Yuan to increase the weight of Zhai."

Zhai Rang woke up and couldn't help laughing, "Wang Shichong is not hateful either, at least he made me a good stepping stone."

At this time, the soldiers reported in the hall, "King, Duke Wu is here to come back!"

Zhai Rang hurriedly walked out of the hall and happened to meet the warrior rushing into the yard. Zhai Rang quickly saluted, "I have just neglected Wu Sima, please forgive me!"

The warrior smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, Mr. Zhai invited me back again, which shows that Mr. Zhai is a wise man. Let's talk about it in detail!"

"Sima Wu, please!"

The three of them sat back, and the warrior smiled and said, "Dugu Huaien and I are different. Dugu Huaien came from Chang'an, while I came from Nanyang County and talked to Mr. Zhai on the order of the King of Qin to discuss the details of cooperation."
