Chapter 805: The Heart Is Like a Tiger and a Wolf
"Xianggong, reliable news, Yin Ziqi was defeated and surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, I heard that His Majesty killed Yin Ziqi's entire clan in a fit of anger"
Even if Yan Zhuang was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, after hearing the news of Yin Ziqi's punishment, he still couldn't help but tremble violently with his shoulders. Bayi Chinese Network? ? β₯ββ€.= The sad mood of the rabbit and the dead fox is impacting his heart defense wave after wave at this time.
It took a long time for his complexion to return to normal.
"I'm afraid you have reversed the order, Your Majesty punished the Yin Ziqi clan, and he had no choice but to vote for the Tang Dynasty. β
The general in charge of reconnaissance and intelligence was stunned, obviously not expecting Yan Zhuang to say this, but he still patted his chest conceitedly.
"Xianggong, it won't be wrong, the last general will only dare to report to Xianggong after several confirmations......"
A wry smile appeared on Yan Zhuang's face again.
"If it is not bad, Your Majesty has fallen for the Tang Dynasty's divisive plan!"
"A plan to divide the sky?"
The general was quite assertive, and immediately understood the meaning of Yan Zhuang's words.
"Could it be that the Tang people did something out of it? Yin Ziqi didn't betray Yan?"
After realizing this, he couldn't help but be shocked. Yan Zhuang replied with a pretended lightheartedness:
"It doesn't matter what the reason is, the important thing is that Yin Ziqi now has a bitter hatred for His Majesty, even if he doesn't really surrender to Tang, he is bound to be absolutely difficult to stand with Dayan!"
The general's mind is also smart, and he will be able to draw inferences from one to the other.
"In case, if Your Majesty doesn't and accidentally implicates us as well, wouldn't it, wouldn't it be a disaster?"
Yan Zhuang was calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart had already stirred up turbulent waves, and at this time, the general's words were like sharp daggers, cutting through his carefully maintained calm. The body shook twice, and the solemn and tired auxiliary railing in front of him stood firmly.
"Don't speculate, Yin Ziqi has long been disobedient, and now he has just received the retribution he deserves......"
Beat the general, Yan Zhuangzhi felt as if his body had been hollowed out, although he and Yin Ziqi did not deal with each other, they had never had the idea of punishing his family. And An Qingxu suddenly condemned the clan, and it was definitely not all out of his original intention, someone must have played a role in fueling the trouble, who could this person be?
There are enough people in Luoyang City who can count them on one hand, and counting them finally fell on An Shouzhong. For An Shouzhong, Yan Zhuang has always felt that he is too weak, although he has some needs, he does not have the skills and abilities to match him.
"I underestimated this person......"
The infinite remorse in Yan Zhuang's heart has been revealed in his own words. If he had known that An Shouzhong had harbored evil intentions so far, he would have driven this person out of the center of Luoyang a long time ago, but now it is too late to say anything, and it is still difficult to protect himself, so how can he interfere in the situation in the city?
Suddenly, Yan Zhuang seemed to realize something, and his body was shaking as if he had been hit hard.
"Xianggong, Xianggong...... What's wrong with you?"
Thanks to his guards' quick eyes and a firm grip on him, he didn't fall to the ground.
Coming back to his senses, Yan Zhuang broke free of the guard's hand.
"You all go down, the old man wants to be alone!"
In their eyes, although the old man was thin and small, he was a figure who turned his hands into clouds and covered his hands with rain, and he could kill people with just a few words.
However, no one could have imagined that it was such a strong and solemn place, and at this time the heart was confused and afraid.
Because Yan Zhuang suddenly realized that he was afraid that he would be the same fate as Yin Ziqi. It's just that although he smelled danger, he couldn't do anything about it, and a wall of walls separated all hope like an iron wall. He began to regret his previous self-confidence, thinking that there was no one to match in Luoyang City, and now it seemed how naΓ―ve and ridiculous this idea was.
No, we can't sit still!
Yan Zhuang warned himself over and over again that with his character, it was still difficult to adapt to the feeling of suddenly losing control of the situation.
The night wind blew over and over again, and he was also distraught, and helplessness was a reality that he couldn't accept.
"Xianggong, Xianggong......"
He was summoned more than a dozen times before he came back to his senses.
"Something?"
He knew that if it wasn't an urgent matter, his personal entourage wouldn't bother him at this time.
"The Tang camp sent someone, do you see it?"
"Nope!"
Without thinking about it, Yan Zhuang gave the answer, but he immediately whispered again:
"Wait!"
The retinue was obviously confused by Yan Zhuang's repeated repetition, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"Tang Ying must have bad intentions when he sent people late at night, so why should the prime minister pay attention to them?"
Based on Yin Ziqi's tragic end, the despicability of the Tang people's methods also gave everyone a clear understanding. What's more, in such a situation where the contradictions between the two armies are intensifying, they can only suddenly cause trouble when they see each other, and as the saying goes, more things are better than less things.
But Yan Zhuang actually agreed.
"Bring them with them, try to keep a low profile!"
"Xianggong!"
The relatives still wanted to persuade him, but he was beaten away impatiently by Yan Zhuang. With a heavy and apprehensive mood, Yan Zhuang returned to his private account. He sat on the sidelines and watched Yin Ziqi almost completely wiped out, if he said that he did not regret it, it would be self-deception, but what is the use of regretting it now? But think about it carefully, if he is asked to make another choice, I am afraid it will still be this result, after all, it is better to be still, who is Yin Ziqi looking for death and resentment? If he can fight steadily like him, he may not be defeated so quickly.
"Yan Xianggong is okay?"
This voice was solemn and familiar, he opened his slightly dim old eyes, and looked at the person carefully through the flickering candles in the tent, wasn't it the Tang general who had negotiated with him before?
"The old man is fine, and General Qin is also fine?"
The person who came was Qin Yan, who was born as a slave in the Qin Jin family. Even if Yan Zhuang realized it later, he already understood at this time that Qin Yan was by no means a brave and unscrupulous person, and everything before was just a show for himself. It's ridiculous to believe it, it's really a shame, if you are deceived by the opponent of chess, it's just that, Qin Yan is just a house slave!
After only a few days, Yan Zhuang's inner changes have been like heaven and earth, and his self-confidence has also suffered a great blow.
However, no matter how depressed he is, he hides his heart well. What fell in Qin Yan's eyes was still smiling, and the bottom of his eyes was unfathomably solemn.
In the face of such solemnity, Qin Yan only felt a cool breeze swishing behind his head, and he responded with a smile:
"The old minister has promoted me, and I am barely qualified to be a general until now, but I don't dare to call myself a general!"
There is no need to be solemnly ordered, since someone led Qin Yan to sit down, and as soon as he sat down, someone served tea diligently.
Qin Yan couldn't help but sigh secretly, compared to this, the etiquette was thoughtful, and the Shenwu army was still a lot worse than Yan Zhuang here.
Yan Zhuang's eyelids were fascinated, and he complimented Qin Yan:
"The general's military achievements are impressive, if it weren't for Doctor Qin's desire to avoid suspicion, it would not be too much to worship the general and the marquis at this time. β
As the saying goes, if you don't wear a fart for thousands of clothes, you can't go wrong with sending out a high hat. But Qin Yan's face changed, in his opinion, he didn't even have a marquis, and the solemn compliment was a bit excessive.
Seeing that the other party did not pick up, Yan Zhuang smiled a little awkwardly to hide his embarrassment.
Qin Yan suddenly said solemnly and in a low voice:
"I came this time on the orders of the lord of the family to tell Xianggong that no matter how the pseudo-Yan Tianzi treats you, Datang and Shenwu Army will always open their arms and wait for Xianggong!"
These words seemed serious, but they fell on Yan Zhuang's ears, but he felt extremely spicy and sarcastic, and at the same time a little frightened, because he chewed out a hint of threat.
Yan Zhuang laughed dryly again.
The general laughed, the two armies were fighting, each for its own master. But the old man has been friends with Doctor Qin for a long time, and if he gets it, he will be considered to have fulfilled his wish. Please also ask the general to send a message back, the old man will always be open to Doctor Qin here!"
Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, so he couldn't laugh out loud. I've seen people who have swollen faces and become fat, but I've never seen such shameless, they have all reached such a point and their mouths are as hard as this, it's really a person who falls, and the shelf can't be down!
"If the old man speaks, I will bring it to the lord of the family, this is the handwriting of the lord of the family......"
As he spoke, Qin Yan took out another letter from his arms, held it in both hands and handed it to Yan Zhuang.
Yan Zhuang weighed Qin Jin's handwritten handwriting, only to feel extremely pressed, and he had already vaguely guessed what was written on it in his heart.
However, he was still a little puzzled, since it was just to send a letter, why should he send someone of Qin Yan's level? Who can't send a letter?
Until Qin Yan said goodbye and left, Yan Zhuang was still chewing on this question repeatedly, as for Qin Jin's handwritten letter, it was still placed on the desk in a dignified manner, and he was not in a hurry to open it.
Suddenly, another call pulled him out of his thoughts, and suddenly he felt that the voice was so familiar, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he raised his head. Blurted out of voice:
"Yan Tong, why are you back?"
Standing in the tent at this time was the henchman who had been sent to the Shenwu army to negotiate a few months ago, but what he was trying to do at that time was just to confuse the Tang people, and taking 10,000 steps back could also be used as a foreshadowing. In the final analysis, to some extent, Yan Tong was sent out as an outcast.
In the time since, Yan Tong has not been heard from, and Yan Zhuang has never remembered the existence of this person. It was only now that he suddenly woke up, and Huo Ran got up excitedly.
"Yan Tong, the old man thought he would never see you again in this life!"
These words are three points true and seven points false, but they are also strict enough to be moved, to be able to get such a favor from the head of the family, what more can the husband ask for?
"The head of the family, Yan Tong is fortunate to have lived to the present. β
After a while, Yan Zhuang couldn't wait to ask:
"Tell me quickly, why did the Tang people let you come back, and what kind of motives did they have?"
Hearing this, Yan Tong's eyes shot a strange brilliance.
"The head of the house must have guessed it a long time ago...... Qin Jin is a person with a heart like a tiger and a wolf, and he can keep Yan Tong to live to this day, maybe, maybe it is for this day......"
