My younger brother Lü Fengxian

Chapter 153: Father Zhen's Hidden Hand

"Brother Zhang, what you said is correct, but Lv Yi has just reached an agreement with Wang Zhi, and Wuyuan City is Wang Zhi's territory. If we rashly attack Lv Yi, I'm afraid Wang Zhi will retaliate immediately!"

Su Shuang was worried when he heard this.

"Is there still room for reconciliation between us and Wang Zhi?"

But at this moment Zhang Shiping saw things more clearly.

"I would rather die than give up the family business I have worked so hard to build for twenty years."

"Brother Su, don't panic. Leave all your men to me. Brother Su, go back to Zhongshan first to pack up your and my family's belongings and family members, and leave as soon as possible. I will wait for an opportunity to follow Lu Yi. He will leave Wuyuan one day."

Zhang Shiping's eyes were filled with hatred.

"As long as he steps out of Wuyuan City, without Wang Zhi's protection, he will die."

"As long as Lu Yi dies, there is still room for our family business to be saved!"

"As soon as I deal with Lu Yi, I will go to the Xianbei to find you."

After hearing this, Su Shuang pondered for a long time before agreeing to Zhang Shiping's plan.

"Then be careful. Lü Yi is as brave as his brother Lü Bu. If something is impossible, don't force it!"

"Brother Su, rest assured. We have 500 trusted warriors now, and Lu Yi's entourage is only 40 to 50 people. The enemy is in the open and we are in the dark, so there is no possibility of failure!"

Zhang Shiping, however, was extremely confident.

The excitement of the consecutive victories has made him consciously or unconsciously eliminate some unfavorable factors, just like the thousand men including Wang Fu who died tragically on the grassland last month.

Didn't they have a three-to-one advantage but still suffered a crushing defeat?
Zhang Shiping immediately took over the manpower and found a hidden place to stay at the gate of Wuyuan County near Jiuyuan. He also arranged for people to take turns to inquire about Cai Yong's residence. As long as Lu Yi showed signs of returning to Jiuyuan, they would immediately prepare to attack Lu Yi.

Su Shuang also returned to Zhongshan County overnight.

The two of them have saved up a lot of property over the years. Now they are hastily preparing to cross the border in the severe winter to seek refuge with the Xianbei people, so naturally they have to make good arrangements for everything.

However, no matter how amazing Su Shuang's methods were, there would always be many casualties.

And all this is thanks to Lu Yi.

After nightfall, Zhang Shiping's residence was dark, with only a few candles emitting faint fluorescence.

A tall and thin man with sharp eyes saw that the food was almost cooked, so he pretended to have a stomachache and walked towards the toilet.

"What's wrong? What did you eat today? How many times did you poop in one day?" His companions started scolding him after noticing that something was wrong with him.

"Hey, maybe I caught a cold last night."

The tall and thin man smiled embarrassedly.

"Your poop is so damn stinky, you are not allowed to use our own toilet."

"Go outside and use the city's toilet!"

Almost in the next second, a small leader ran over and slapped the tall and thin man on the back of the head, shouting and cursing angrily.

"This..." The tall and thin man was waiting for this sentence. He carefully glanced at Zhang Shiping who was leaning on the edge and acted embarrassed: "But Chief Zhang has said in advance that we are not allowed to go out without permission!"

"You wait!" The leader ignored the tall and thin man's complaints and immediately reported the situation to Zhang Shiping.

I don't know what this kid eats. He almost suffocated people after going to the toilet. He doesn't want to experience this fucking feeling again. Zhang Shiping glanced at the tall and thin man and found that the other party was an old man who followed him and Su Shuang, so he let down his guard and waved his hand impatiently.

"Go quickly, go quickly, clean yourself up and come back to me!"

"Thank you, Chief Zhang. I'll be back soon."

The tall and thin man suppressed the joy in his heart and disappeared into the night.

On the surface, he is Su Shuang's confidant and has followed Su Shuang for many years, but in fact he is a hidden chess piece casually arranged by old man Zhen in his early years.

Don’t seek merit, but seek no faults.

It doesn’t matter if it’s useless, it would be better if it was useful.

Old Master Zhen has many other tricks up his sleeve to deal with such idle flags. Even under Lu Yi and Zhang, he has his own hidden hands who will seize the opportunity to pass some useful information to Zhen's father.

Only Huang Yi was an official appointed by the imperial court, so Zhen's father did not dare to interfere, as this would be a crime of treason.

However, the Hunye tribe was located outside the Great Wall, and the Zhen family never directly interfered in the business outside the Great Wall, so they were out of reach and had no secret agents.

Normally, the tall and thin man earns two salaries while working one job. He is not too comfortable. He only occasionally needs to unilaterally pass on some information about the Zhongshan Chamber of Commerce to Zhen's father.

Normally, no instructions will be received.

Before following Su Shuang on this trip, he passed the news that Su Shuang was going to deal with Lu Yi to Zhen's father.

However, he rarely received an order from Zhen's father, asking him to find an opportunity to secretly tell Lu Yi about the situation. If necessary, he could even reveal his identity and secretly return to the Zhen family. At that time, Zhen's father would arrange for him to enjoy the secret industry of the Zhen family in the Central Plains.

Therefore, the tall and thin man secretly bought some croton seeds and calculated the amount to design this act.

At this moment, the effect of the medicine had long passed and his body had basically recovered.

After carefully shaking off several spies arranged by Zhang Shiping, he quietly sneaked into Cai Yong's temporary residence.

But even though this tall and thin man was already a skilled fighter, he was still caught in the first place by Gao Shun, who was on duty under Lu Yi's orders.

"Who is it! How dare you sneak into Mr. Cai's house? Are you planning to assassinate him?!"

"Warrior, hold on, I am the messenger, there is something important from Zhongshan that needs to be reported to Chief Lu immediately!"

The tall and thin man originally wanted to rely on his own skills to defeat Gao Shun first and then reveal his identity, but he could only barely last a few rounds with Gao Shun and was almost beheaded by Gao Shun. He was so frightened that he quickly begged for mercy.

"The person who reported the news?"

"Whether it is a letter with good intentions or malicious intent, please meet with me first and then we can decide."

Gao Shun was a serious person by nature, so he would not believe the tall and thin man's one-sided words. He immediately tied him up and took him to meet Lu Yi.

"You mean, Su Shuang, Zhang Shiping spent 20 million to bribe Wang Zhi to attack me, and now that his plan has failed, Zhang Shiping is leading 500 good fighters to ambush me on my way back and kill me?"

After listening to the tall and thin man's report, Lu Yi did not think about himself first, but looked at the tall and thin man with interest.

"Your information is extremely important, but you seem to have forgotten to introduce yourself!"

"Don't be offended, Chief Lu. I am the spy of the Zhen clan leader under Su Shuang. I have a letter from Zhen's father in my arms, and I can testify for me!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Shun immediately searched the tall and thin man's body for a while, and indeed, he took out a small brocade bag containing a letter from the interlayer in his arms.
