Chapter 13: The Storm Rises

Zhang He sat at the table, the candlelight on the table was flickering, and in front of him, there was a pair of bamboo slips.

Although for him, as the commander of the Secret Shadow Guard and in charge of the countless lives and killings in the Gen Country, he had to flip through countless such bamboo slips every day, but the content on this bamboo slip made this great general, who had been hovering on the edge of life and death countless times, and was still able to calm down, a little unable to sit still. Zhang He carefully lifted the bamboo slip, and every word on it was like a heavy boulder, hanging in his heart.

Forbidden Zhonglang will start the stage:

Brother defense Sheji, against the enemy Du Wei, can be described as a high merit, admirable.

His Majesty the King of Bai Gen served the cause of the first emperor and worked hard to govern the country, which is the luck of the world, but today it is not peaceful, the external force is undecided, and the internal crown prince is constantly in dispute. Gongzi went to the Northern Ancient Army, with strange poison in his body, in a coma for many years, and was in a dangerous situation, which shows that Gen Guo's heavy weapons are worried about internal and external troubles. When Wen Gongzi won Su Yan's border supervision, he had a brother who warned him that he was thousands of miles away, and he felt that his brother was sincere, so he dared to tell each other and wanted to investigate carefully.

There is a rampant Yi tribe outside, which is not a problem for henchmen, but the hidden disease in the DPRK and China is even more dangerous, with mixed eyes and mixed eyes, and loyalty and treachery are indistinguishable. The Meng family has been deeply favored by the emperor for generations, although there is nothing to repay, they should defend themselves against strong enemies outside the border and strive to protect the safety of their sons. I beg the general to share the sorrows of His Royal Highness King Gen, and not to vain our humble bodies, and to stand between heaven and earth in the name of the soldiers of Gen in this life.

Brother Meng Zhi nodded.

After reading the content of the letter, Zhang He solemnly put away the bamboo slips, the son Ying Su mentioned in the letter was the most favored prince of Ying Kun, although he has no ability to cultivate, but he has both ability and political integrity, has a grand plan, and there is no opposition from the government and the opposition, and they all think that he is the successor of the country of Gen, but when the fourth prince Ying Ruotian appeared in the eyes of everyone, everything changed, and the son Ying Su made mistakes on several important occasions, so that Ying Kun gradually lost favor to him, and sent him to the border to garrison, facing the dangerous enemy country. And on the way to the border, Ying Su was suddenly poisoned and in a coma for many years, and his life and death are uncertain until today, and the reason has not yet been ascertained.

Zhang He, as the commander of the Shadow Guard, was also a supporter of Gongzi Yingsu, he once ordered someone to secretly investigate the inside story, and was one of the few people in the court who knew about it. Although Zhang He has not found out who that person is, as long as he thinks carefully about who is most benefited by the decline of Gongzi Yingsu, he can guess eight or nine.

In fact, there are many people in the palace who have such speculations, this prince who seems to be indisputable in the world, hides an amazing city, and after having such conjectures, most of them choose to submit to the ...... Zhang He got up and pushed open the window, tonight's style was cold, and the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest made a miserable rustling sound, as if countless unjust souls were wailing and complaining.

Tomorrow he has to go to court, and tomorrow he has to face that scholarly temperament, but the face is extremely terrifying, Zhang He felt hairy, closed the window, and Zhang He blew out the candle.

......

The next day, on the main hall of the kingdom of Gen.

Zhang He stood respectfully under the throne, His Majesty King Gen sat on it and listened to the civil and military officials discussing the affairs of the court, everything looked ordinary, but Zhang He's right eye has been jumping since he got up in the morning, he is a sensitive person, otherwise he would not be the commander of the secret shadow guard to investigate major cases, many years of experience in handling cases have made him form a strong intuition, whenever his right eye jumps, there will always be something big.

But until now, Zhang He didn't see anything abnormal, he subconsciously glanced at Ying Lutian, Ying Lutian still had his symbolic smile, harmless to humans and animals, but after careful inspection, Zhang He found that his smile seemed to be missing a trace of restraint, a kind of wildness hidden in the depths of his heart leaked out slightly, but it was only a small point that leaked out, which made Zhang He's pupils shrink suddenly, he knew that Ying Lutian was not such an unrigorous person, he would not show even the slightest trace of his true self when the time was not ripe, and when he showed such emotions, it should be the pattern of the palace, which has changed!

The smile was like a black hole, swallowing Zhang He's gaze, Ying Ruotian seemed to notice Zhang He's gaze, turned his head and smiled politely at him, Zhang He came back to his senses with a cool feeling.

"Border Emergency!"

Suddenly, a soldier in armor rushed into the court, such a situation is usually not allowed, but the border pass emergency report is particularly special, it marks a major change in the battle situation at the border pass, which allows it to be urgently presented to His Majesty King Gen when he is in the court, Ying Kun picked up the bamboo slip and actually stood up from the throne!

This is a rare sight, Zhang He only felt that his premonition was about to come true, only to see Ying Kun rub his forehead heavily, throw the bamboo slip on the table, and the group of dusters who were still arguing eagerly knelt down when they saw this.

"General Meng Zhi, died in battle. ”

Zhang He only felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost fell, he and Meng Zhi were outside the main body, and the main one was inside, and there was little intersection in the court, yesterday he also wondered why Meng Zhi would suddenly send himself such a tragic letter, and now he finally understood, he looked at Ying Zhitian, and there was a sad painting on Ying Zhitian's face, but Zhang He could see the smile in the sad expression.

Meng Zhi may have premonition of his death, he wants to hand over Gongzi Yingsu to himself, but even your dignified elite general of the empire is still stationed at the border pass, but you have been murdered, how can I, a little commander of the Shadow Guard, fight with this devouring tiger and leopard? Zhang He smiled bitterly, he suddenly thought of Ying Ruotian just now and smiled at himself, that smile is becoming a little meaningful, these years Gongzi Ying Su has fallen, Zhang He and Meng Zhi have always remained neutral, no longer participate in the palace fight, it seems that Ying Ruotian also seems to know their thoughts, I didn't expect that in his eyes, even "indisputable" has become a threat, now that Meng Zhi has been eliminated, the next one will not be his turn, right?

Submit to me, or, die!

The idea of giving up appeared directly in Zhang He's mind, the strongest one has fallen, the life and death of Gongzi Yingsu is uncertain, and there is no prince in the palace who can compete with Ying Lutian, this fourth prince has already won the battle, even if he wants to fight, there is nothing to fight, it seems that he has to find an opportunity to make a stand to Ying Lutian, Zhang He thought so.

While he was thinking, Ying Kun announced his retirement from the dynasty, and hundreds of civil and military officials poured out of the palace like a tide, Zhang He was mixed in it, thinking constantly, and suddenly he heard someone call him.

"General Zhang stayed. ”

Zhang He was taken aback, he could tell who it was, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, just as he also wanted to seize this opportunity, he turned his head and turned to Ying Ruotian in the envious gaze of the ministers.

"The Four Princes. ”

"I didn't expect General Meng to do his best for the Gen country, and he would suffer such a misfortune, it's really unblessed. ”

Zhang He thought to himself, the four princes are really good at singing.

"The fourth prince is looking for He, what is the matter?"

"Hehe, General Zhang is really a smart person, presumably before General Meng died, he entrusted his eldest brother to a smart person like General Zhang. ”

Zhang He's back was cold, he didn't expect Ying Lutian to even know about this kind of thing! He hurriedly and carefully rummaged through his memories last night, there was no one else in his house at that time, how did he leak the secret?

"General Zhang doesn't have to be nervous, I just guessed casually, but I didn't expect to really guess it. ”

"The fourth prince is very intelligent, and General Meng did write a letter to his subordinates, but he did not mention the matter of the eldest prince's entrustment. ”

Zhang He's words stiffened.

"Oh, General Zhang is really too modest, I know that General Zhang is a loyal and righteous person, my eldest brother has been assisted by two generals before, Qingfeng has thanked me here, General Zhang, you have to take good care of my eldest brother." ”

The last few words of Ying Luo Tian were word-by-word, but he smashed Zhang He's chest and almost vomited blood, he finally understood the meaning of Ying Lu Tian's words, now Meng Zhi is dead, the threat to Ying Luo Tian no longer exists, how much wind and waves can he set off with a small Zhang He? Ying Lu Tian did not even leave him a choice, not even a chance to return to him, left him only a dead end, today Ying Luo Tian came to him, just to pronounce his death.

"General Zhang, take your leave first. ”

Ying Luotian left in style, leaving Zhang He standing alone, the biting winter wind blew, and Zhang He smelled the breath of the border pass, which was the smell of war!

"Since you insist on me dying, let's fight to break the net!"

Zhang He gritted his teeth, his teeth shattered, and blood dripped down the corners of his mouth.
