Chapter 129

After leaving Zhuge Liang's house, Zhou Zhong quietly hid his whereabouts and quickly sneaked back to his residence.

In the study, Zhou Zhong took off his cloak and sat down.

He has a gloomy face and is not in a good mood. Originally, his intention was to destroy the marriage of Zhang Xiu and break the relationship between Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao with the help of Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang's unwillingness to get involved made his plan to kill people with a knife fail.

He has always been cautious and does not want to end in person.

So we have to find another way.

Zhou Zhong thought, thinking of CAI Mao and wenpin.

Either Cai Mao or Wen pin had a grudge against Zhang Xiu. But wenpin is a military general and a straight man. He can't do harm to Zhang Xiu, and Zhou Zhong doesn't hope for it.

Only Cai Mao.

This may be a breakthrough.

Today, Zhou Zhong doesn't know that Cai Mao's attitude towards Zhang Xiu has changed. After all, Zhang Xiu and Cai Mao have never appeared together. After thinking about it clearly, Zhou Chong immediately got up and prepared to go to Cai Mao's residence overnight.

But as soon as he got up, he frowned again, thinking that it might be dangerous to go to Cai Mao's residence in person.

What if Cai Mao takes him?

There are risks.

Zhou Zhongneng was sure that Zhuge Liang would not be handed over to Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu, but he could not be sure whether Cai Mao would take action. Because Zhuge Liang did not have the position of Jingzhou, and Cai Mao was on the side of Jingzhou.

Zhou Zhong's cautious mind once again gained the upper hand. He sat down again and said, "come on!"

A valet enters and stands with a bow.

Zhou Zhong said, "let Ling you come to my room."

"Here it is

When the servant got the order, he went to inform him immediately.

Not long after, a young man in his early twenties, smart and thin, came in. He was from Xiangyang, but he wandered to Jiangdong early and joined the army. He was a soldier in sun CE's army.

Zhou Zhong came to Xiangyang and chose Ling you who came from Xiangyang.

Ling you stood still and said, "what can I do for you, my lord?"

Zhou Zhong's face was solemn. He said solemnly, "just now, I went to see Zhuge Liang in person. I hope he can deal with Zhang Xiu and destroy the marriage between Zhang Xiu and the Huang family, but Zhuge Liang refused."

"Now there is another person who has a grudge against Zhang Xiu, that is Cai Mao."

"He may deal with Zhang Xiu."

"It's just that Cai Mao's position is unclear. After all, Cai Mao is from Jingzhou and a member of Jingzhou officialdom. If Cai Mao disregards his personal enmity and wants to stand in Jingzhou's position, we Jiangdong's identity will be exposed and may be caught by Cai Mao. "

"Of course, Cai Mao may not make any moves."

"So I need you to go to Cai's house to test Cai Mao's idea and see if Cai Mao wants to deal with Zhang Xiu. If Cai Mao wants to do it, our people will be transferred by him. "

Zhou Zhong made arrangements.

He didn't want to reveal his identity, so he let Ling you go. After all, Ling you's identity is very common.

Ling you after hearing, eyes began to turn up.

He's thinking about what to do.

A moment later, Ling you thought about it and said, "my Lord, I have an idea."

"Say it

Zhou Zhong said.

Ling you said: "I can lie that I am a businessman. I accepted the entrustment of Jiangdong and collected the money. Then I went to Cai's house to look for Cai Mao and see if he wants to deal with Zhang Xiu."

"If Cai Mao is willing, I will mobilize manpower to help him. If he doesn't want to, let it go. Under such a major premise, I have put aside my position of Jiangdong and am just a neutral person. "

"In this way, even if Cai Mao is suspicious, I'm afraid he won't take me."

Ling you said, "besides, Cai Mao is not so narrow-minded. He must want revenge."

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

Zhou Zhong stroked his beard under his jaw and said with a smile, "you're a little quick witted."

Ling you said, "your honor has been wrongly praised."

Zhou Zhong said, "you go to see Cai Mao all night and make a decision so that you don't have to wait a long time. As long as it's done, I'll write to my Lord in person and ask for credit for you. "

"Thank you

Ling you is also excited.

Now sun CE has occupied all the counties in the east of the Yangtze River, and his strength has become more and more powerful, even to the point of ignoring Yuan Shu. Although today's sun CE, on the surface, still obeys Yuan Shu's instructions, in fact, sun CE has already listened to the tune rather than the propaganda.

Such strength, let Ling you see the future. If he can get sun CE's commendation, he will be promoted and become rich.

Ling you said, "my Lord, I'll leave your humble position."

"Go

Zhou Zhong waved his hand and said, "I'll wait for your good news."

Ling you changed his clothes, took a carriage, and went straight to Cai's residence. It was almost midnight when he arrived at Cai's residence.At this time, Cai Mao was still drunk.

After all, I drink too much at night.

In particular, Zhang Xiu is a big boy. In order to make friends with Zhang Xiu, he always drinks. After a banquet, Cai Mao's impression of Zhang Xiu was greatly changed and became more appreciative.

From the perspective of elders, we can see Zhang Xiu, especially Zhang Xiu is his nephew. If Zhang Xiu is strong, he can also take refuge in Zhang Xiu, and he will be more eager.

The relationship between the two sides is warm.

Cai Mao sat in his study, drank the hangover soup, and then belched.

At this time, the housekeeper enters.

He came to Cai Mao's side and reported: "master, there is a man named Ling you from outside the house. He has something to ask for

Cai Mao said, "what's the matter?"

The housekeeper said, "I didn't say anything. The other side didn't say anything. I just said something very important."

Cai Mao said, "I'll see you then."

"Here it is

The housekeeper got up and went to inform him.

In a short time, Ling you came to the study, saluted and said, "I've met Mr. Cai."

After drinking the sobering soup, Cai Mao's spirits evaporated and he was sober. He was sitting in a critical position, looking at the Ling you who entered, and said, "what's the matter with you coming to see me late at night?"

Ling you said, "please report back to Mr. Cai. I'm entrusted by others."

Cai Mao said, "don't beat around the bush when you talk about people."

Ling you is no longer around the circle, open to the mountain: "I received the entrustment of Jiangdong, to deal with Zhang Xiu. Jiangdong side, out of the price of 10000 gold, to destroy Zhang Xiu's marriage

"In my hands, there is a certain strength. As long as Mr. Cai is willing to do it, I can assign my people to you, so that you can arrange it, so as to destroy Zhang Xiu's marriage, or even kill her. "

"There is a deep hatred between Mr. Cai and Zhang Xiu, and there is a shame of being a prisoner. As long as you are willing, you can deal with Zhang Xiu. And I can give two thousand dollars as the cost of general Cai's layout. "

Ling you said: "I am a businessman, as long as I can complete the task entrusted by Jiangdong, I am willing to share the benefits."

Cai Mao's eyebrows rose.

Unexpectedly, someone wanted to destroy Zhang Xiu's marriage to Huang Yueying.

Now he and Zhang Xiu have reconciled. The stronger the strength of Zhang Xiu, the better for him. Cai Mao's heart, even a sudden impulse, to take Ling you immediately. However, he restrained himself.

Don't scare the snake!

Cai Mao's eyes turned, thinking about the countermeasures.

He wants to stabilize the Ling you in front of him, and take down the man behind him. Especially when it comes to Jiangdong, once Liu Biao knows about it, he will definitely do it.

Cai Mao even doubted that Ling you said he was a businessman. What if he was from Jiangdong?

For a time, Cai Mao's thoughts kept on.

After a moment's silence, he solemnly said, "Ling you, are you not afraid that I will take you down and give you to my lord?"
