"It turns out that the old man is here, please take a seat." Jiang Tianyuan saw that the situation was about to fall into embarrassment, so he hurriedly said to Ao Dingyuan.

Ao Dingyuan smiled slightly, glanced at Wei Li, sat down and said, "Actually, 'pushing him into the water' is not inappropriate. It just depends on whether you are willing to do it."

"General Ao, don't you think it's a bit big for us to gamble? In other words, what capital does General Ao have to attract us?" Zhu Qin was straightforward and had no intention of beating around the bush.

"Hahaha, I deserve the title of general, but I just know a little about how to lead troops." Ao Dingyuan had no intention of answering Zhu Qin, and just laughed from the side.

"Does the old man think that this will allow us to take risks to help the prince?" Jiang Tianyuan continued to ask when Ao Dingyuan did not answer.

"Do you know that the Shangguan lineage of the royal family of the Yufeng Kingdom was once a member of our Gu'an Kingdom, and all the land now owned by the Yufeng Kingdom belonged to our Gu'an Kingdom back then. It was only the rapid decline of the country's power when the treacherous ministers of the Gu'an Kingdom were in power that led to the Shangguan clan's mutiny and the seizure of

Most of the land in Gu'an was crowned king." As soon as Jiang Tianyuan finished speaking, Ao Dingyuan suddenly started talking about old things in a confused way.

Jiang Tianyuan and several others looked at each other and said, "I have heard about these things a little bit. I wonder why the old man suddenly mentioned this?"

Ao Dingyuan ignored Jiang Tianyuan's question and continued: "As a citizen of Gu'an, everyone should make his own contribution to the restoration of Gu'an's glory, just like what a few of them want to do now. Zhengweiying is certainly a good place.

It's a choice, but the water involved is too deep. I don't recommend that you consider entering the Zhengwei camp prematurely."

Ao Dingyuan is a man who has a strong sense of justice and the honor of his family and country. His lifelong dream is to restore the glory of Gu'an in the past, but he is also unable to do so due to his ruthless age.

Jiang Tianyuan and the other four sat there quietly and listened to Ao Dingyuan continue: "The reason why I chose Liuyun Village is precisely because of the mood of serving the country in your hearts. I think the third and fourth masters will go there this time."

The result of discussing cooperation is not satisfactory, right?"

"Old man, why are you..."

Jiang Tianyuan was a little surprised that Ao Dingyuan knew that the actions of Lingyan and Wei Li were not going well this time, but after thinking carefully, Ao Dingyuan had been among officials for many years, and he naturally knew more about the secrets than they did.

"The only heroes I can like around here are your family. There are not many people who dare to rob the Yufeng Kingdom caravan." Ao Dingyuan said with affirmative eyes.

God looked at the four people and said.

Lingyan and Wei Li were stunned when Ao Dingyuan said this. They didn't know why Ao Dingyuan knew the reason for their trip and that they didn't achieve their goal this time.

"General Ao is indeed well-deserved. Nothing we do can escape your eyes." Lingyan said with admiration.

Speaking of Ao Dingyuan's reputation, he was well-known in Gu'an Kingdom and even Yufeng Kingdom, but only after seeing it with his own eyes can he feel how insignificant he is in front of such a person.

"I can understand how you want to join the Zhengwei camp and serve the country, and I very much recognize and respect your thoughts and decisions." Ao Dingyuan highly affirmed Liuyunzhai's decision.

It can be said that the establishment of Liuyun Village was entirely caused by the bandits of Yufeng Kingdom, so the people in Liuyun Village can be said to have sworn hatred for Yufeng Kingdom, and they want to join the Zhengwei camp to have an affair with Yu Jia

The capital of the country is justified.

"However, it seems that it is absolutely impossible for you to join the Zhengwei camp at present, because the country will not allow it, at least it will not let you join easily." Jiang Tianyuan and the four dignitaries secretly rejoiced because of Ao Dingyuan's affirmation.

I was shocked by Ao Dingyuan's words.

"Old man, why is this?" Jiang Tianyuan frowned. This was exactly what the four people present couldn't figure out.

"This is related to the current situation of Gu Anguo." Ao Dingyuan said with a sigh.

Compared to Ao Dingyuan, a veteran, Jiang Tianyuan and the other two were still a little too young. The four of them looked at Ao Dingyuan with puzzled faces, not knowing what Ao Dingyuan meant.

Ao Dingyuan continued: "After the Holy Emperor succeeded to the throne, he made an armistice agreement with Yufeng Kingdom, aiming to restore the dilapidated economy of Gu'an Kingdom. With the current situation of Gu'an Kingdom, if the fight continues, Gu'an Kingdom will definitely be defeated. Yufeng Kingdom's

Therefore, he is willing to sign a treaty with us because he is afraid that if we fight to the death, Yufeng Kingdom’s vitality will be severely damaged. Wouldn’t it mean that we will be the prey of human beings?”

"Old man, I still don't quite understand."

"Listen to me. This armistice agreement is only a superficial peace. Secretly, no one wants the other side to develop further. The most direct way is to keep the other side's border in an unstable state for a long time."

After Ao Dingyuan said these words, Jiang Tianyuan and the other two were thoughtful. The four of them had some ideas in their minds, but they were just hints. They could not grasp the most important point. In the end, they could only continue to listen to Ao Dingyuan.

Go down.

"Killing with a borrowed knife, you

Do you understand?"

After the words "kill someone with a borrowed knife" came out of Ao Dingyuan's mouth, Jiang Tianyuan and the others completely understood why Ao Dingyuan said that the country would not easily let them join the Zhengwei camp.

Since the two countries cannot have a head-on conflict, they can create conflict in another way. In other words, the court cooperates with the bandits and instructs the bandits to disturb the enemy's border.

Although this method is disgraceful, as long as it can achieve the goal and then erase the disgraceful thing, we will talk about the method to "erase" it later.

Ao Dingyuan looked at the surprised expressions of Jiang Tianyuan and the others and knew that they had understood. He smiled and said, "This is the case for many things. Even though it will make people in the world look down upon them, they have to do it."

"Because the imperial court has not yet fully understood your details, it will not contact you. After the imperial court understands your details, it will naturally know that I have dealings with you, and the person who assigns tasks to you may also be

I, I, came to see you this time also in a personal name." Ao Dingyuan said with a smile.

Jiang Tianyuan, who felt a little calmer in his heart, asked: "Then there is really no way for us to get rid of the title of bandit? After all, it was not our original intention to become bandits, it was just forced by the circumstances of the year."

"Isn't it good to be a bandit? Isn't it good to be free without so many rules?" Ao Dingyuan said with interest as he looked at the four people with longing eyes.

Indeed, the original intention of many people who choose to become bandits is to live a life of doing whatever they want, but the people of Liuyun Village are not among this group.

"After all, the name Bandit doesn't sound good. Brothers all want a chance to serve the country with dignity. General Ao should understand this, right?" Jiang Tianyuan also slowly changed his name for Ao Dingyuan.

"There are no ways, but I also have conditions, and you should be very clear about what the conditions are." Ao Dingyuan looked convinced that Jiang Tianyuan and others were convinced. This kind of confidence comes from strength.

Jiang Tianyuan slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath, cursing the old fox in his heart.

He naturally knew what Ao Dingyuan wanted to ask for, and Ao Dingyuan took the initiative in the topic from the beginning to the end. He just used some means, no, maybe this was not even a means to Ao Dingyuan, so easily

It is really terrifying to have Jiang Tianyuan and the four of them firmly in the palm of their hands.
