    Zhang Lei and Le Qiu looked at Jiang Yuyang together. Zhang Lei was overjoyed and said, "It's done? Is that really great? Have you confirmed the time and place?"

    "Confirmed, isn't it already the twenty-fifth day? On the third day of the next month, there will be a 'Gui Qu Lai' restaurant outside the city. The place is big enough to bring people there. By then, Li Zicheng will have 300 people there.  We have three hundred people here, and no one else can have more." Jiang Yuyang said.

    Zhang Lei calculated in his mind, and then said with a smile: "Three hundred people, right? That's really enough. Lao Qi, you go and choose three hundred people for me. They must be flexible and able to fight."  He can resist, although the chance of us fighting him is low, but it is better to be prepared, after all, it is necessary to be on guard against others."

    "Well, that's a good idea. Okay, I'll look for 300 people in the next few days." Jiang Yuyang agreed.

    Zhang Lei said to Leqiu again: "Very good, if that's the case, then you don't have to go. If you go, the negotiations probably won't be successful. You stay and help me take care of these people. Now that Rodman stays behind, what about you?"  These two are the highest-ranking officials here besides me."

    Jiang Yuyang smiled and said to Le Qiu: "Look, you were the one who stole the show last time, and this time it's finally my turn. Neither of us should fight for it. Let's be fair."

    Le Qiu looked depressed, but had nothing to say, so he could only obey Zhang Lei's arrangement, while Jiang Yuyang went to find someone. Zhang Lei was busy thinking about what he needed to pay to achieve his goal.

    Time passed very quickly, and soon it was the appointed day. Zhang Lei was already dressed up early in the morning.  What follows will likely be a battle without gunpowder.  He had to deal with it seriously.

    ??Just dressed.  Someone flashed in from outside, it was Jiang Yuyang. He was already ready. When he saw Zhang Lei was also ready, he said: "Master Zhang, brothers are waiting outside, let's set off quickly.  "

    "Have you checked the surrounding areas since you came back? Is there any problem?" Zhang Lei asked while checking the equipment on his body.

    Jiang Yuyang said: "The brothers have already gone to check last night, and some brothers are still there. If a large force really appears, it is impossible for us not to know about it. It is very quiet there now. It seems that Li Zicheng  He is also a man of his word.¡±

    After hearing this, Zhang Lei couldn't help but laugh and said: "Don't be deceived by superficial appearances. If Li Zicheng can be regarded as a person who keeps his promises, then I guess there are not many people in the world who don't keep their promises. Let's go  , just ask brothers to pay more attention and not get distracted."

    "This is necessary. Master Zhang's comfort is more important than Mount Tai. The brothers' minds are all tense. Let's set off now. They will report as soon as there is any situation." Jiang Yuyang said.

    Zhang Lei didn¡¯t expect Li Zicheng to be so obedient.  He said that three hundred people really didn't transport a large force, so he felt relieved. With a similar number of people, it was impossible to escape with the skills and sophisticated equipment of these soldiers.  of.

    So a group of 400 people rode their war horses to the outside of the city. After arriving at Huihulai Restaurant, a hundred people stayed to guard the horses and hid themselves nearby, while the other 300 people followed Zhang Lei.  Staying in the open space outside the restaurant, the restaurant has been booked by Zhang Lei, and there is no one else at this moment.

    After a while, a group of people came from the other side of the road. It was Li Zicheng and his men. When they saw Zhang Lei and the people behind him, they smiled and said, "Master Zhang, you are here so early. How long will you wait?"  How long has it been?¡±

    Zhang Lei smiled and said: "I have just arrived. Since King Chuang has already arrived, let's go in. Don't worry, no one has entered here yet. You don't have to worry about an ambush."

    "I still trust you. If you say no, then of course it's gone. Please," Li Zicheng said.

    So the two of them each brought ten people in, and the others stayed outside. The two teams watched eagerly, but no one would take action first without the coach's order.

    It was very quiet inside the inn. When they saw them coming in, a fat old man came over from the counter and said to Zhang Lei and Li Zicheng: "The room has been prepared for you two, please come with me."

    Li Zicheng smiled and said: "It seems that you have already made preparations."

    Zhang Lei said: "Praise and praise, how can we not be prepared to be more considerate in order to face the big fight from King Chuang?"

    The two came to the largest private room on the second floor. The old man opened the door for them and said:"Let's talk. If you need anything, just call and I'll serve it to you right away."

    Zhang Lei nodded to him and said, "Thank you so much, shopkeeper." Then he said to Li Zicheng, "Let the two of us go in, and the others are waiting outside. Lao Qi, tell brothers to pay attention. No one can do anything without my order."  You can move around, do you hear me?"

    "I heard it. If anyone dares to delay Mr. Zhang's affairs, I, Lao Qi, will be the first to cut him." Jiang Yuyang said.

    So Zhang Lei and Li Zicheng went in with peace of mind.  Everything was prepared inside. Zhang Lei and Li Zicheng sat across from each other. Zhang Lei said: "Since we are all pure men, let me get straight to the point."

    Li Zicheng said: "Tell me, I'm still curious why you asked me to come here."

    Zhang Lei sighed and said: "It's really my temper. If it weren't for the current situation, I believe the two of us should be colleagues who get along very well. But as a trick of fate, we are actually on opposite sides now. It's really  It¡¯s very sad.¡±

    "So are you here to persuade me to surrender today?" Li Zicheng frowned and said angrily.

    Zhang Lei smiled and joked: "Then if you are willing to surrender, I will definitely have no problem with it, and I can also guarantee that the emperor will definitely give you a high official position, but will you surrender?"

    Li Zicheng did not speak, and both of them laughed in unison. This was a tacit understanding between men that did not need to be stated explicitly.

    After a while, Zhang Lei said: "To be honest, you can't beat me."

    "Haha, it seems you are very confident." Li Zicheng was not angry and smiled. With this look, if one ignored the various things that happened between the two of them, people would still think that the two were good friends for many years.

    Zhang Lei said seriously: "We have fought so many times. Just open the skylight and speak frankly. With my three-eyed guns and cannons, do you think you will be my opponent? I have said it so many times, what are you doing?  He beat me sometimes."

    So Li Zicheng also fell silent. After a while, he said, "Let's just tell you, why did you call me here today? Did you come here to ridicule me? That's really unnecessary."

    "Of course not. Since you can't beat me, I don't want to fight you. We are all Han people. You can't deny this, right? I actually don't want people of the same race to kill each other, so today  I just asked you to come over and talk about it." Zhang Lei said.

    "Then do you want to annex my soldiers, or make me dependent on you?" Li Zicheng also put away his smiling face and said solemnly.

    Zhang Lei said: "I do, but I'm afraid you won't want to. I have a new idea now. The Tatar army in the north is about to go south. I came to you to discuss it with you. Our two families  Let¡¯s get rid of the Manchu Tatars together, what do you think?¡±

    "You mean that I cooperate with you, and then we go to deal with the Manchu Tatars and reduce one enemy for your Ming Dynasty? Do you think I will do such a thing? When the Manchu Tatars are wiped out,  And if you hit me again, wouldn't I be digging my own grave?" Li Zicheng said with a sneer.  How could he not have thought of this? It was precisely because the Manchu Tatars moved south that Chongzhen left a large number of troops in the north. Only then could Li Zicheng conquer most of the country in a short period of time. How could he agree to Zhang Lei's request?

    Zhang Lei was not anxious at all. He said: "It seems that you still misunderstood. What I said is that we are all Han people, and the Tatars are not, so from a national perspective, we and the Tatars are the enemies, not you."  The hatred between you and me is only between the regime."

    "So what? You are just working for Chongzhen, and I am working to create a peaceful and prosperous age for the people. The two of us still have different paths and do not work together." Li Zicheng said.

    "Wrong, wrong, wrong. You personally said that you want to create a peaceful and prosperous age for the people. Then let me ask you, after so many years, have you calculated how many people have died because of you? Well, so many people have died like this.  , then where is your peaceful age? Can you tell me."

    Li Zicheng was speechless, and Zhang Lei continued: "You don't have to lie to me, and you can't lie to me. Why are you doing this? In fact, we all know it very well in our hearts. Let me tell you, I am with you."  Delusions are absolutely impossible to realize."

    ¡°Then why don¡¯t I just kill you?¡± Li Zicheng¡¯s face suddenly turned ferocious, a knife appeared in his hand, and he stabbed Zhang Lei in the face.

    Zhang Lei leaned back, but suddenly he became unsteady and fell directly to the ground. He happened to avoid Li Zicheng's attack. He made a prompt decision and kicked Li Zicheng on the table.Everyone bounced away, and then a carp stood up straight.

    Li Zicheng jumped directly onto the table, and then attacked Zhang Lei like a hungry tiger pouncing on food. The short knife in his hand was emitting a dark green light. It was obviously poisoned. Presumably, as long as he saw blood, he would be dead.  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature. The novels will be better and updated faster!
