Chapter 196: A Bigger Sky

Two saddles were randomly thrown in the withered grass. Zhang Shouyue spread his legs, sat on them, pointed to the one opposite, "Gao Yuan, sit down, I think we need to have a good talk."

Gao Yuan sat down silently, looked at Zhang Shouyue, "Master Taishou, are you also here to stop me?"

Zhang Shouyue looked at the other party, and suddenly smiled, "Gao Yuan, you came here aggressively, but you just stood in front of the carriage and didn't dare to make a move? I thought you would kidnap Ye Jinger desperately and leave." ? Ye’s private soldiers are good, but obviously they can’t beat you.”

Gao Yuan was slightly startled, he didn't expect Zhang Shouyue to say that. After a moment of silence, "Jing'er's mother told me that if I take Jing'er away today, the world is so big that there will be no place for me anymore."

"Are you scared?"

"I'm not afraid." Gao Yuan shook his head, "I love Jing'er, and I want to give him a happy life, instead of taking her to flee everywhere, making her precarious and living in fear forever."

hey-hey! Zhang Shouyue laughed a few times, "This woman." He whispered.

"Master Taishou, if I really want to do it, will you also embarrass me? Chase and kill me?" Gao Yuan stared at Zhang Shouyue and asked.

Zhang Shouyue tilted his head, thought for a while, "Yes, I will do the same."

"I thought the prefect would give me an opposite answer." Gao Yuan sighed.

"Why do you think so?" Zhang Shouyue laughed.

"All along, I think that the prefect is different from other nobles or those in power in this world, and they have some different ideas." Gao Yuan said.

Zhang Shouyue stared at Gao Yuan, "That was decades ago, when I was just like you and had nothing. Now, I am no different from them. If you really do this, Ye Tiannan will definitely ask me to deal with you. And I If you want anything from him, you can only agree. There will be no place for you in western Liaoning."

"Thank you, Lord Prefect, for being so frank with me. It's just that I don't understand. At your level, what else do you need from him?" Gao Yuan nodded and asked.

Seeing Gao Yuan's attitude, Zhang Shouyue's eyes became more appreciative, "The more I get to this point, the more I want him, but it's you now. Dare to be with him without desire or desire." Challenge, as the old saying goes, if you don’t have desires, you can be strong! I’m old, but there are more and more people. For example, I helped him put down Linghu Chao, and he gave me the feudal western Liaoning that I dreamed of, but it’s not just that It's over. There are too many things to do in the future. Besides, I am facing the threat of Donghu in Liaoxi.

If Miranda attacks with all his strength, I can't stop it, which requires the whole Dayan to go all out. Not to mention anything else, as long as Ye Tiannan delays for a while, Liaoxi will definitely be beaten into a mess. Tell me, can I not ask him? "

"I understand." Gao Yuan said.

"No. You don't quite understand." Zhang Shouyue shook his head, "If you want to deal with you, there are more than these methods."

"I can't think of anything else that could threaten me!" Gao Yuan said.

"You're still too young!" Zhang Shouyue said slowly. Pointing his finger at the thousands of Fufeng soldiers waiting under the hillside, "These people are your brothers, aren't they?"

"Yes!" Gao Yuan nodded.

"It's the same as me back then. I also had these brothers back then, and that's why I'm where I am today. Back then, your father was one of them. Lu Hong, Gu Changwei, Zhang Zhuo, all of them." Zhang Shouyue Sighing: "I admire you not only because of your talent, not only because of your father's relationship, but because you are so similar to me when I was young, now that I am old, I am no longer as brave as I used to be, In you, I see the shadow of me back then. Gao Yuan, if you care about these brothers, then someone will threaten you with these people."

Gao Yuan's face changed color slightly.

"You can just leave. With your ability, Yan country can't stay. You can take Ye Jinger to other countries. For example, Zhao country, which is currently at odds with Dayan, may also be reused." , make a comeback, but what about your brothers? They will definitely become your scapegoats. There are too many people you care about in this world, not just Ye Jinger. Lu Hong has taken care of you since he was a child. Well, it will be bad luck for Lu Hong. I also heard that Wu Kai and you are Wangnian friends. The friendship between the two of you is very good. If you leave, Wu Kai will also be unlucky. Well, there is Zhang Yi who followed you, Now I am working as the shopkeeper of Xianyun Building in Jicheng, I will definitely not survive." Zhang Shouyue said slowly, Gao Yuan's face was slowly changing.

"Can you put these people's life and death aside and take Ye Jing'er to stay and fly alone?" Zhang Shouyue asked immediately.

"You can't!" He asked himself and answered, "Because judging from your attitude towards Ye Jing'er, you are a very affectionate person. This is your weakness. If you find your weakness, it will be easy to deal with you. "

"This is just my personal matter, why so many people are involved!" Gao Yuan shouted angrily.

"You think so, but other people don't think so." Zhang Shouyue's expression remained unchanged, "Gao Yuan, you want others to do things according to your ideas. Now you are far from enough. Why do you want others to do things according to your ideas?" Do things according to your ideas?"

Zhang Shouyue sneered, "In Liaoxi, I can ask others to do things according to my ideas, but do you, Gao Yuan, have the qualifications?"

"After all, it's still a question of strength, that is to say, whoever has the biggest fist will make sense. Zhang Taishou, do you want to tell me this truth?" Gao Yuan snorted coldly.

"Although it's shameless, this is the way of the world." Zhang Shouyue said, "Actually, Gao Yuan, I don't know if you can understand that you can't take Ye Jing'er away today, because I won't allow you to do so. I have to admit that the army you have trained is indeed very powerful, and their loyalty to you surprised me. They don't even recognize me as the prefect. But you think, with them, they can really deal with me, and those six hundred leaves Is it your private army?"

Gao Yuan's eyes gradually sharpened.

"If you want to try it, I can give you this chance, but after you try it, there will be corpses all over the place and blood flowing like rivers." Zhang Shouyue laughed.

"You tell me so much, do you want me to give up Jing'er?" Gao Yuan asked back.

Zhang Shouyue laughed loudly, "You're wrong again, Ye Tiannan and I are just using each other, you think I'm talking so much for him. Then you're wrong, I'm for myself. Gao Yuan , I value you very much, especially today, after I have seen the army you have trained."

"I don't quite understand. I am Fufeng County Captain, and I am your subordinate, but now the army that should belong to you only recognizes me. I thought you should be very angry." Gao Yuan said.

"You said earlier that I should be a different person." Zhang Shouyue stroked his beard and said proudly: "Sometimes, I am indeed different. Maybe you can solve a problem I am thinking about. For this, I am willing to give it a try.”

"What do you want to say?"

"I'm old, and I don't have the aggressiveness I had when I was young. In my old age, all I think about is to keep Liaoxi and make this land the permanent land of my Zhang family. But you know, people from Donghu There are endless wars, and my two sons, hey, don't worry too much. After I die, they may not be able to defend the country I have worked so hard for."

"Could it be that you expect me to fail?" Gao Yuan said.

"Of course I don't count on you. You are a tiger that hasn't grown up yet. If I really count on you to keep Liaoxi, I'm afraid I will be more worried that you will swallow Liaoxi in one bite when you are strong enough in the future." Zhang Shouyue laughed.

"Then what do you expect from me?"

"I will give you power and support. You go to fight the Donghu people. I can play a Liaoxi, why can't you play a Liaodong? This is a good idea, isn't it? If you are really successful, then I will be Liaoxi." It’s no longer the front line facing the Donghu people, it’s your territory.” Zhang Shouyue smiled and said: “Without the threat of the Donghu people in the west of Liaoning, you can wholeheartedly develop internal affairs, and you had the Donghu people at that time You need my Liaoxi to continue to support you, and our two families will be close to each other, and we can't do without each other!"

"If I fail, you will get nothing!"

"I talked with Wu Kai, and he said that you once told him that investment is risky, and the more you want a bigger return, the more risk you will have. However, I think differently from others. In return, I can take a big risk. In fact, I didn’t take much risk in this matter. If you fail or you die, there is really no loss for me. At most, it’s just maintaining the status quo. But once you succeed, I will gain far more than what I may lose. I will not only gain a strong barrier in Liaoxi, but also gain friendship with you, won't I?"

"You are so frank!"

"Speaking to smart people, of course I'm frank!" Zhang Shouyue said: "So Gao Yuan, Ye Jinger is just a small piece of sky in front of you, if you give up this small piece of sky today, you may get a bigger sky in the future. "

"I just can't think of it, why do you have such strong confidence in me? Or is this just a temporary strategy you came up with to solve today's crisis?"

"If I just want to solve today's crisis, I just have to tie Lu Hong and Wu Kai in front of you, put the knife on their necks, and you have to retreat," Zhang Shouyue sneered, "Do you think I'm still Will you come here to talk nonsense with you?"

Gao Yuan nodded, stood up, and looked at the situation still facing each other under the hillside, "You are right, I must get a bigger sky, and only in this way, I will not lose Jinger."

Zhang Shouyue's face changed slightly, "Are you still going to take Ye Jing'er away?"

"Prefect, I want to talk to Jing'er, please speak to her mother for me." Gao Yuan said indifferently: "I won't take Jing'er away today, but I will definitely take her away in the future. Maybe, at this time It won't take too long!" (To be continued...)
