Just as Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo were watching Zhao Min, Duan Zihao, who was beside Zhao Min's carriage, carefully reminded them.
"Queen Mother, someone is watching you."
Zhao Min slowly raised her head and glanced at the hillside beside her.
Zhao Min laughed in her heart, "Zhang Wuji, you bastard, you dare to come to me, it seems you really don't know how to die."
Zhao Min said to Duan Zihao.
"Don't panic, the army will move forward normally, just pretend you didn't see anything."
…
At night, Zhao Min left the camp alone, holding the sword of the Heavenly Sword in one hand and a jar of wine in the other.
Seeing this, Duan Zihao hurriedly followed.
Zhao Min said: "Mr. Duan, there is no need to follow too closely, otherwise he will be scared away."
…
Zhao Min stopped only when she was two miles in front of the camp.
She first put the jar of wine aside, then drew the sword in her hand and chopped it down at a huge rock.
With one sword strike, the huge rock split into two halves, falling to the left and right, just like two stone benches.
After doing all this, Zhao Min found some dry firewood in the grass nearby.
A moment later, Zhao Min built a bonfire beside her.
Zhao Min opened the jar of wine, threw in a few green plums, and placed it in the middle of the campfire.
While Zhao Min was doing these things, she didn't even raise her eyes from beginning to end.
She was too lazy to even keep an eye on her surroundings.
Zhao Min believed in her own judgment, "Zhang Wuji's appearance here is definitely not to take my life."
…
Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo, who were not far away, were watching Zhao Min.
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Brother Wuji, she is waiting for you."
Zhang Wuji nodded slightly: "Yes, she is waiting for me, Zhiruo. She came here by herself, and I will go there alone."
Zhou Zhiruo thought for a while and nodded.
"You'd better be careful. If anything goes wrong, I will rush out and kill her immediately."
A moment later, Zhang Wuji came to Zhao Min's side.
Zhao Min raised her head with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, we meet again. I am Zhao Min, and I am honored to meet you."
Zhang Wuji sat opposite Zhao Min and said: "What a fragrant wine! Just from smelling it, I'm afraid it's nearly a hundred years old."
Zhao Min nodded slightly: "Almost. This wine was hidden when the Yuan Dynasty was just founded."
"A total of one thousand jars were hidden at the beginning."
"According to the rules set by my ancestors, each emperor of the Yuan Dynasty can only drink one jar per year."
"This wine was meant to be drunk for a thousand years, but now, there is only this last jar left."
"The remaining nine hundred or so jars were secretly drunk by those dog emperors of my Yuan Dynasty."
Zhao Min sounded very sad when she said these words. Zhang Wuji knew that this sadness was not pretended.
Zhao Min is about the same age as Zhang Wuji, so how could he not know how hard she works?
After thinking for a while, Zhang Wuji said: "Actually, you don't have to be so tired."
Zhao Min smiled and glanced at Zhang Wuji.
"Are you feeling sorry for me? I don't want to be so tired, but there's no other way. I can't just watch the Yuan Empire destroyed. Even if the Yuan Empire is doomed, I want it to struggle a few more times."
"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to see me?"
Zhang Wuji said: "I came to you to ask you to give up attacking Xuzhou."
"What?" Zhao Min couldn't believe her ears.
"My 150,000-strong army has come on a long expedition. How can you retreat just because of one word? Who do you think you are?"
Zhao Min was already a little angry, and Zhang Wuji quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, I just came here to talk to you."
"Talk?" Zhao Min sneered: "Well, since you, Master Zhang, mentioned the word talk, then I will talk to you again."
"As long as you are willing to withdraw from Xuzhou, I will immediately issue an edict to confer you the title of Great Yuan Ming Wang, and the conditions will be the same as I promised you before."
"You can be free from the constraints of the court, you can retreat to Guangmingding and establish yourself as king. As long as you don't stab me in the back, I will agree to anything you say."
Zhang Wuji smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I will not agree to your conditions, but I am here to talk to you today, so you'd better listen to me carefully."
Zhao Min sighed helplessly: "Oh... then just tell me what you want to talk about."
Zhang Wuji said: "Now, not only you, Zhao Min, wants Xuzhou, but Zhang Shicheng also wants it."
"When you sent 150,000 troops to capture Xuzhou, Zhang Shicheng also sent 100,000 troops. Now, he is just waiting for us to fight to the death, and then he will take advantage of Xuzhou."
After hearing this, Zhao Min said disdainfully: "So what? I can kill you first and then kill Zhang Shicheng."
Zhang Wuji waved his hand: "I will not let you destroy me first. If you insist on attacking Xuzhou, I will immediately give Xuzhou to Zhang Shicheng."
"When the time comes, after you beat Zhang Shicheng half to death, I will recapture Xuzhou. Or, when you and Zhang Shicheng are fighting fiercely, I will stab you in the back."
There was a long silence...
Zhao Min sighed helplessly: "Zhang Wuji, you are a bastard, I hate you so much."
"But in my eyes, Zhao Min, you are a greater threat than Zhang Shicheng. At worst, I will wait for you to give up Xuzhou, and then I will withdraw my troops."
"Even if I, Zhao Min, give Xuzhou to a dog, I would not let you get it for free."
Zhang Wuji quickly said: "Don't be angry, I have only said half of what I said just now. Wait for me to finish the other half before you draw any conclusions."
