Xu Fan was silent for a moment and slowly spoke: "After leaving for so many years, the original friendship has become more enthusiastic. ”

"In fact, how much friendship there is in the officialdom, at most it is a reason, once those people saw me as the prime minister, and those unfamiliar or even no connections suddenly came back. ”

"At first, I was a little uncomfortable, even disgusted...... It's just that this kind of discomfort can't change anything, since you sit in this position, some things have to be done!"

"If you want to do things, how can there be no one around?"

"But it's easy for these people to get together, and it's almost ...... to disperse" Xu Fan smiled, smiling a little helplessly: "People's hearts are floating, it's difficult!"

Xu Chen kept smiling, listening, and nodding frequently.

If you change to another teacher, you won't explain to your students in such a low voice, let alone be the prime minister.

It's just that Xu Fan knows the ability of his students, and he also understands Xu Chen's temperament, if he doesn't say anything, naturally it's nothing, Xu Chen will still be respectful, but if there is a rift in his heart, it will be difficult to make up for it.

As Xu Fan expected, Xu Chen's expression did not change much, perhaps accepting this vague explanation.

"What about this time?" So Xu Chen just smiled and asked, "This time the movement is so big, I'm afraid it's not easy to pass, right?"

"Haha!" Xu Fan laughed: "It's not to the point where I want you to shelter me from the wind and rain!"

"But look at the current posture, people don't plan to let me stay out of it!" Xu Chen smiled helplessly.

"Haha, who made you an official now! In the officialdom, you can't escape!"

"But why do I think it's because I was in the limelight before?"

"You want to kill chickens and monkeys, so as to solve all the troubles at once, but you are wrong!" Xu Fan smiled, looked at his eldest disciple, and said solemnly: "These people are not monkeys! They are lions and tigers! Blood does not frighten them, it only provokes their ferocity, and they will only think that you, a monkey, have offended them!"

"So, I'm going to get more and more troublesome?" Xu Chen said with a bitter face and depressed: "Then how can I make them think that I am just a lion or tiger like them?"

Xu Fan shook his head slightly and said, "It's me, and I'm just a monkey in their eyes." ”

"......" Xu Chen chuckled, "They are really confident!"

"If you survive for a thousand years, you are confident!" Xu Fan said lightly, and looked at Xu Chen after speaking.

"Haha, forget it!" Xu Chen laughed: "I don't have such a big idea, how good it is to live with harmony!"

Xu Fan smiled: "Whatever you want!"

"It's just that this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape!"

"Can't the teacher help me block it?" Xu Chen said with a bitter face.

"Teacher, I'm ...... It's not easy!" Xu Fan smiled: "Since you have come to Chang'an, you have to help share some of it, right?"

"Don't......"

Outside the house, Uncle Xu knocked on the door: "Master, the dinner has been prepared, and Mrs. asked if she could be seated?"

Xu Fan then stood up and beckoned Xu Chen: "Let's go, let's talk about these things tomorrow, your master has been talking about you many times." ”

Just when the prime minister's mansion was staggered, there were two teams in front of the front and one behind the west of Chang'an marching silently.

At a glance, the team in front stretched for several miles, the queue was neat and the formation was rigorous, but there was a desolation and desolation in the silent march.

The team behind was about 5,000 people, but one person and two horses, and their bodies were stained with wind and dust, but it was difficult to hide the sharpness in their eyes.

After walking for a while, he walked out of the Chang'an territory, and the cavalry behind him stopped.

One of them, with a pale face and no beard, breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, and smiled at the middle-aged man next to him: "Ambassador An has worked hard!"

The middle-aged man was unusually fat, and his waist seemed to be wrapped around a thick cushion, and despite the wide armor, the fat pressed against the big horse, which was a head taller than an ordinary horse, and he still trembled when he walked.

"Grandpa Sun is polite!" An Lushan smiled back to Sun Dezhi: "It is the duty of Weichen to do things for the saint!"

Sun Dezhi smiled with satisfaction: "Ambassador An has worked hard all the way, today on Chinese New Year's Eve, the Holy Lord has prepared a banquet in the palace, and I hope Ambassador An can go with our family!"

"The father-in-law is serious!" A hint of sharpness flashed in the depths of An Lushan's eyes, and he still smiled: "Xiaguan will follow his father-in-law into the city!"

"Chaoying!"

"The end will be!" replied to the white-robed young man with his fists clenched.

"You take someone back the way you came!" An Lushan said calmly.

The smile on Sun Dezhi's face softened a lot, and he said: "Don't be in such a hurry, the soldiers should also rest well all the way, the Holy Lord has ordered our family to prepare wine and food to entertain all the soldiers." ”

"Haha! Then there is Grandpa Lao!"

After speaking, An Lushan waved his hand and led several personal soldiers to follow Sun Dezhi towards Chang'an City.

After walking for a long time, I saw more than 2,000 forest guards waiting there quietly......

After the cavalry behind him left, the westbound group of men and horses still did not stop.

Han Zhi wore armor and rode a horse, retracted his gaze looking back, and turned to the side: "In this way, the hearts of the soldiers are cold, and the next battle is not easy to fight!"

Wang Zhonghe, who was wearing the family heirloom armor, heard this and just quietly rode his horse forward and said nothing.

The team walked forward for a while, and suddenly a few vague shadows appeared on the hillside in the distance, and when they got closer, they saw a man sitting quietly on a horse under the moonlight, letting the horse bow his head in the unmelted snow to examine the grass roots that had not completely died, and several people beside him were also riding horses, scattered several feet around.

The moonlight reflected on the snow, shooting out a bright light, transmitting the familiar appearance of the man to Wang Zhonghe's eyes.

Wang Zhongsi stopped his horse, and the whole team stopped, and a neat thud came from the empty field.

"You go first!" After thinking about it, Wang Zhongji said a word, and then beat his horse and walked towards the slope.

Han Zhi looked at the back of the handsome, glanced at the hillside from a distance, and sighed lightly.

Immediately, the team began to move forward again.

Wang Zhongsi approached with a horse, opened an opening in the surrounding circle, and let Wang Zhongsi in.

The horses' hooves rustled on the thick snow.

The man turned his gaze to Wang Zhonghe, and after a moment he laughed: "It's been a long time since I've seen you wearing this armor!"

"For the last time, if you don't wear it, you won't have a chance!" Wang Zhongsi also smiled.

"Aren't you going to come back?" asked Li Heng.

Wang Zhongsi shook his head: "Forget it, I'm just a soldier, and a place like Chang'an is not suitable for me!"

Li Heng was silent, just looking at the childhood friend in front of him and watching quietly. After a long time, Fang spoke up again: "Is this the answer you want to give me?"

Wang Zhongsi nodded silently.

Li Heng saw that Wang Zhonghe's gaze changed a little, his breathing became a little short, and his heavy breath turned into two long white waves in the snow under the moon.

"You said you were a soldier!hehe!" Li Heng's voice was much higher: "How can there be any pure soldier in this world!?"

"You are a general, a marshal, not a small soldier! They can rush forward regardless of it, what about you? You want to fight, okay! What about ordnance? What about grain and grass? What kind of war would you fight without these? Can you solve these problems as a soldier?"

Li Heng's expression became a little hideous, a little angry, and a little hateful: "I haven't been in Chang'an for you all these years, can you fight so happily on the front line? You are a soldier with no background who can hold an army of more than 100,000 people? Heh, don't you really think that because my father admires you, so you have been promoted all the way to the rank and made a fortune, right?"

"That's all done by me!" Li Heng yelled, "Without me, you would have been torn to pieces by those gangs!"

Wang Zhongsi nodded lightly: "I know!"

"Then why did you do this?" Li Heng said hoarsely, "Why did you betray me?"

Wang Zhongsi was silent, and his gaze at Li Heng was also warm, but he replied lightly: "I said, I'm just a soldier, and I only do what a soldier should do!"

"Fuck you!" Li Heng stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Zhongsi, extremely emotional: "Do you know that if it is done this time, I, how much can we do?"

"Those things that you have complained about, dissatisfied, and want to change, as long as you and I work together, everything will not be a problem!"

"......" Wang Zhongsi was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Actually, I can wait." ”

"But I can't wait!" Li Heng roared: "Look at him, he has been in power for so many years, and it was just before that, after all, he came out of the sea of blood in the sword mountain, and some things can be forgiven if he doesn't do them." But now? A woman who doesn't do anything serious and robs her own son! Is this what an emperor should do?"

"It's true that there is a saint, but this world can't do without the saint!" Wang Zhongsi said lightly.

"There is no one in this world who is inseparable!" Li Heng said coldly: "As long as the surname is Li, whoever sits on that chair can be replaced!"

"It's okay to change your seat,......" Wang Zhongsi said calmly: "However, the world will be chaotic, and those who disagree with you will keep jumping out against you......"

"That's just right!" Li Heng said sharply: "Jump out and wipe them out, just do something, don't break or stand, if these people don't clean up, this world will still be the same world!"

Wang Zhongsi looked at him, he was in high spirits, but he just shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "But, will it be dead?"

"Huh?" Li Heng was slightly startled, and then laughed and said, "Haha! You are a murderous soldier who has become merciful!"

"I am a soldier, life and death are common!" Wang Zhongsi said very seriously, "But those innocent people should not die because of our selfish desires. ”

Li Heng was quiet, and after a while, he began to nod his head slowly, and said: "What a benevolent general! No wonder you only care about strengthening the border defense, but you never start the war lightly.

Wang Zhongsi laughed, like an innocent child: "Childish, naïve!

Naturally, I can't talk about it.

Wang Zhongsi didn't have anything to say, so he hugged his fists and said: "At this juncture, Your Highness still shouldn't come out easily!"

"Take care!"

When he had finished speaking, he struck his horse and headed west.
