Chapter 289 Methods
"Hmph! Where can the martial arts created by you, a eunuch, be decent?"

Yang Guo suddenly realized that he seemed to be talking too much, so he immediately answered sharply.

"I see! I didn't expect that you are not only talented in martial arts, but also smart!"

Hearing Yang Guo's words, Tong Guan thought that Yang Guo had guessed correctly, and he also knew that normal people couldn't practice his martial arts, but he never thought of the eight characters that one must first go to the palace if one wants to practice this martial arts.

He decided to record these eight characters on the first page of the Sunflower Book after he went back.

Lu Wenhuan and Wu Santong next to them heard the quarrel between Yang Guo and Tong Guan, so they naturally understood that there was some conflict between them.

But this Tong Guan is indeed a bit outrageous, even wanting Guo Jing to be a eunuch, Wu Santong and Wu Santong are also a little dissatisfied with this.

"Eunuch Tong, Guo Daxia is powerful, and he is now leading various martial artists to guard Xiangyang. It seems a bit inappropriate for you to ask Guo Daxia to practice your sunflower book!" Lu Wenhuan said with a glance at Tong Guan.

"Lord Lu misunderstood, I didn't mean to let Guo Jing practice my Sunflower Book, it was this kid who mentioned it! Just now I sparred with him, and seeing that he has a good talent in martial arts, I intend to pass on the Sunflower Book to him!" Tong Guan explained.

"So that's how it is!"

Hearing Tong Guan's words, Lu Wenhuan smiled, no wonder Yang Guo had such a big opinion on Tong Guan, it turned out that the other party wanted Yang Guo to be a eunuch.

"Yang Shaoxia's martial arts aptitude is indeed good, but his strength is not much weaker than Guo Daxia's. Eunuch Tong's words are a bit too much!" Wu Santong next to him also spoke for Yang Guo.

"I'm just talking! Besides, I didn't know that Yang Shaoxia and Mr. Lu were in the same group!" Tong Guan explained.

"Since Eunuch Tong didn't know about it before, it was a small misunderstanding, and please don't take it to heart, Brother Wu and Shaoxia Yang!"

Listening to Tong Guan's explanation, Lu Wenhuan also comforted Yang Guo and the two. After all, the purpose this time was to get a salary for the army, not to make enemies.

"Since General Lu has spoken, I'm not such a fussy person! Let's forget it now!" Yang Guo glanced at Tong Guan and decided not to pursue it.

Tong Guan next to him didn't speak anymore. Although he was stronger than Yang Guo, if it was really a one-on-one match, he wasn't absolutely sure that he could beat Yang Guo.

A few people came to follow Eunuch Tong to walk all the way. Although they encountered many guards from the Jia family on the way, with Eunuch Tong present, the whole journey was smooth.Several people successfully met Jia Sidao.

When Jia Sidao saw Tong Guan coming back, he also noticed Yang Guo and Lu Wenhuan next to Tong Guan.

"Eunuch Tong, Master Lu, why are you together? You...!" Jia Sidao was quite surprised at this time.

"Your Prime Minister is so arrogant! Even if someone Lu wants to see you, he will do everything possible to ask Eunuch Tong for help!"

Looking at Jia Sidao in front of him, Lu Wenhuan was also quite rude.

"Why did General Lu say that? Aren't I busy with business? I don't know why Mr. Lu is looking for me?" Jia Sidao looked at Lu Wenhuan and smiled.

Lu Wenhuan is the commander-in-chief of the Xiangyang army, so he dare not offend Lu Wenhuan too much.

"The three armies have not moved, and the food and grass go first. My [-] troops in Xiangyang have not received military payment from the court for half a year. This time, I came here specially to ask the Prime Minister for food and payment!" Lu Wenhuan bluntly explained the purpose of his visit.

"Lord Lu, you are embarrassing me! Although I am the prime minister, I don't care about the military salary. If you want military salary, you can go to Master Pan of the Ministry of War!" Jia Sidao was ready to shirk the responsibility to Pan Ren .

"My lord prime minister, everyone knows some things well, but I don't want to say them clearly. Now that the Mongolian army has gone south, Xiangyang is located in a strategically important place and is the front line against the Mongols. If there is no food and grass, the morale of the army will definitely be unstable. If Xiangyang can't keep it, I'm afraid Lin'an won't be able to keep it either!" Lu Wenhuan said again.

Hearing Lu Wenhuan's words, Jia Sidao hesitated, Xiangyang is indeed a strategically important place, and there is no room for loss, but the court really can't afford the military salary.

"Lord Lu, you have been fighting all these years! Let me tell you the truth, the imperial court can no longer afford the military salary!" Jia Sidao also planned to have a showdown.

"Master Prime Minister, are you going to give up Xiangyang?" Lu Wenhuan asked again.

"This...! Master Lu, can't you think of another way?" Jia Sidao asked.

"A way? I haven't been paid for half a year, what else can I do! If there is no more food and grass, my way is to directly lead the army to retreat to Lin'an, and wait for the Mongolian army to come to Lin'an, and then compete with the Mongolian army! "Lu Wenhuan replied.

In the past six months, he has taken over all the major landlords and gentry in Xiangyang several times. If he takes over again now, those landlords will probably feel dissatisfied.

"Alright then! Let's discuss the issue of food and pay in court tomorrow, and I will definitely give General Lu a satisfactory answer!"

Jia Sidao thought about it, although the imperial treasury was empty, he could still squeeze out a little by squeezing among civil, military and white officials.

"It's better!"

Listening to Jia Sidao's words, Lu Wenhuan nodded in satisfaction.

After comforting Lu Wenhuan, Jia Sidao looked at Yang Guo and Wu Santong again.Yang Guo had just escaped from him, so he still had a fresh memory of Yang Guo.

"Little brother, if I read correctly, you were the one who escaped from me just now!"

Jia Sidao glanced at Yang Guo and asked.

"Your Excellency Prime Minister has good eyesight, I did come here just now!" Yang Guo glanced at Jia Sidao without denying it.

"I wonder why this little brother came to my prime minister's mansion late at night, what's the matter?" Jia Sidao asked again.

"Yang Shaoxia is now guarding Xiangyang with my army, I sent him!" Lu Wenhuan next to him explained for Yang Guo.

"So that's the case, this Young Master Yang must have come to ask about food and grass on behalf of General Lu!"

Jia Sidao sized up Yang Guo, he could clearly see the battle between Yang Guo and Tong Guan.Yang Guo's strength is extraordinary, and he also has plans to include Yang Guo under his command at this time.

"Exactly!"

Lu Wenhuan nodded.

"Yang Shaoxia, I think you are young, but your strength is extraordinary! I wonder what school Yang Shaoxia came from?" Jia Sidao glanced at Yang Guo and asked again.

"I used to be a Quanzhen Sect disciple!" Yang Guo replied.

"It turns out that the master came from a famous family, no wonder he has such strength! My son Judd has long admired the martial arts of the Quanzhen sect. I wonder if Yang Shaoxia can stay in my prime minister's residence for a few days and give me some advice!" Jia Sidao said again.

"I'm from the rivers and lakes! I'm afraid it's inappropriate to stay here!"

Yang Guo was a little surprised, he just went to fetch food and grass with Lu Wenhuan in Lin'an, but he never thought of staying in Lin'an.

"What's wrong with this? The Quanzhen Sect is a respectable sect, not a crooked sect. I also want to make friends with Yang Shaoxia." Jia Sidao said again.

Hearing these words, both Tong Guan and Lu Wenhuan beside him knew that Jia Sidao intended to win over Yang Guo.
