He was worried that his son-in-law had too close a relationship with Zhao Quansheng's men, which might make Zhao Quansheng wary.
"Of course we have to go. This is the first step for us to build a good relationship with them. The brothers under him are different from those under Lou Sanma. These brothers have followed him since he started the uprising. There is no need to worry about Zhao Quansheng being wary."
On the appointed day, An Jingzhi brought Shen Xianyi to the appointment.
An Jingzhi was responsible for bragging with them, recounting the past, cursing the court, and then imagining the future together. He perfectly integrated into this group of people in just one meal.
"Brother An, what I admire most is people like you who are loyal. Come, let's have another drink."
"Hahaha, let me toast you too, Brother An, come on!"
Things are going smoothly on Shen Xianyi's side as well. People on both sides hope to establish a good relationship, which is naturally good for both sides.
Finally, Shen Xianyi took the drunk An Jingzhi home. Shen Dan was still awake. When he saw the two of them come in, he immediately came over to help.
As soon as he was helped to the bedroom, An Jingzhi sobered up immediately.
Shen Xianyi was about to wipe his face with a rag when she noticed An Jingzhi's clear eyes, "Husband, are you not drunk?"
An Jingzhi sat on the bed and smiled smugly, "What's this little bit of wine? When I was in Kaiye County, I was famous for being able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk."
Shen Xianyi still wiped An Jingzhi's face with the rag in his hand, "Then why are you pretending to be drunk?"
While enjoying Shen Xianyi's clothes, An Jingzhi said, "If I don't pretend to be drunk, how can they get me to talk?"
"Husband, didn't you say that Zhao Quansheng already believed you?" Shen Xianyi said.
"How can such a person's suspicion be dispelled so easily? He would have to verify it from multiple sources, and he would have to get me drunk to make me tell the truth."
"But that's the truth. Even if I'm drunk, I'll still say that. I, An Jingzhi, am a man of great integrity!"
Shen Xianyi couldn't help but laugh and put the cloth in the basin to wash it. "Husband, I never realized you were so shameless before."
Shen Xianyi thought that if she didn't know the whole process, she would really believe it.
Fortunately, her husband was calculating towards outsiders but always sincere towards his own people. Otherwise, Shen Xianyi thought that with her and her father's abilities, they would not be able to outsmart her husband.
…
A pot of porridge was set up outside the city of Daliang, and a large number of refugees came over after smelling the fragrance.
In order to gain fame for himself, Zhao Quansheng vigorously promoted An Jingzhi's deeds. In addition, he also donated some food to help the refugees nearby.
For half a month, regardless of whether or not they had eaten the porridge so thin that you could see your reflection clearly, Zhao Quansheng's reputation had indeed improved a lot, just as he had imagined, and many refugees were spreading the word about his good deeds.
Zhao Quansheng also took the opportunity to expand his manpower and recruited another 5,000 men.
An Jingzhi remained invisible for a while, and then suddenly found Zhao Quansheng.
Zhao Quansheng wondered, "Brother An, is there something wrong? Or did I not treat him well enough?" Could it be that his brothers had offended someone?
It was only after Zhao Quansheng returned from patrolling the military camp that he realized that An Jingzhi had come to see him three times.
"Brother Zhao, I am very grateful that you can take us in."
Zhao Quansheng said, "Brother An, why are you so polite? I, Zhao, admire your character. What's the point of talking about whether to take you in or not?" He got a thousand men for free, so he was the one who got the advantage.
After taking An Jing in, he spared no effort to publicize the brotherhood between An Jingzhi and Lou Sanma, and attracted many small forces to bring troops to join him. Zhao Quansheng won the game.
They were more polite to An Jingzhi, often restraining their brothers, telling them not to conflict with him unless necessary, and simply treating An Jingzhi as a mascot.
"Brother Zhao, no matter what, you have done me a favor by taking me in. I can't just sit there and watch you go astray step by step."
"Brother Zhao, it's a good thing that you're providing porridge to help with the disaster, but the number of refugees is unlimited, and the number will only increase."
"Everyone is praising you now because you can still provide them with porridge. If you suddenly can't provide them with porridge, the reputation will backfire on you."
Zhao Quansheng was somewhat unhappy. He was originally a peasant, but after taking over Daliang Prefecture, he was considered to have the strength to establish his own regime.
In his eyes, Lou Sanma is nothing.
He was polite to An Jingzhi only because An Jingzhi was doing him a favor.
In the past, when he didn't have his own fixed territory, he led his brothers to rob here and there, so naturally he didn't have a good reputation.
After taking over Daliang Prefecture, he was quite kind to the people of Daliang Prefecture. At least he restrained his men from robbing openly.
He was still distributing porridge outside the city to relieve the disaster. People around him were saying that King Zhao had the potential to be a wise leader. An Jingzhi's words really made him unhappy.
He didn't know that the message about the wise leader was also secretly conveyed by An Jingzhi.
The smile on Zhao Quansheng's face had faded, and he waved his hand and said, "Brother An, you're overthinking it. I still have a lot of things to deal with. If you have nothing else to do, please go down first."
An Jingzhi pretended to be unwilling to give up and said, "Brother Zhao! You must listen to my advice."
The smile on Zhao Quansheng's face completely disappeared, and he walked away with a flick of his sleeves.
"Brother Zhao, don't let your fame burden you!"
An Jingzhi was dragged away by Zhao Quansheng's soldiers, shouting as he walked, making sure that people around him could hear him.
Zhao Quansheng is a man who likes to show off and show off, and An Jingzhi came to persuade him at the perfect time.
If he were to persuade him at this time, Zhao Quansheng would definitely be unhappy, and his image of caring about Zhao Quansheng would also be established.
After learning that An Jingzhi had offended Zhao Quansheng, several people came over to inquire.
