Chang'an, from sunset began to surge.

Li Chengqian led the henchmen of the East Palace to get busy, first investigating thoroughly from the major palaces. ordered everyone not to move, directly arrested and imprisoned suspicious persons, and then handed over to Zhang Sizhi for interrogation.

Zhang Sizhi inexplicably received such a heavy burden, and his colleagues all looked at him sympathetically.

He hurried home and lit the family's incense. He knew that the head of the family was in Chang'an, and now that the situation was in place, he must ask the head of the family what he meant. Jia has only one sentence on this matter: "Be conscientious and be sure to investigate thoroughly." If Zhang's cooperation is required, it can be deployed. ”

After the head of the family finished speaking, he also threw him a silver token. He recognized the token as a high-level blending token.

He was about to say something, Zhang Jia waved his hand and said, "The Zhang family should also do something for the peace of the world and the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty." ”

Zhang Sizhi had no choice but to retreat silently and hurried to the palace to meet with the crown prince Li Chengqian.

At the same time, Li Shimin's letter of appointment to Zhang Jia was also issued. Zhang Jia thanked Tian's grace, took the appointment book and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really generous, you will directly throw Zuo Tunwei to me." ”

"Where's the big deal? Isn't this embarrassing for you?" the guard Zhang Li said directly.

"What are you talking about, the truth? There is no such thing as a guard. Zhang Jia reprimanded.

Zhang Li tried his best to hold back a smile and said, "Among the Zuotun guards, there are many people from the Zhang family. Your Majesty doesn't know. ”

"Shut up, talk nonsense, I'll leave you to pour the night incense. Zhang Jia glanced at this guy, in addition to being a wizard in martial arts, he is really just a brain.

Zhang Li saw his master's face and immediately shut up.

"In the future, you are not allowed to speak without my command. Zhang Jia criticized harshly.

"Yes. Zhang Lilang replied.

Zhang Jia glanced at him, and while picking up the appointment letter of the Zuotun Guard, he waved his hand to Zhang Li, and said, "Get out of the way." ”

Zhang Zhang really turned his head and went out, and when he reached the door of the hall, he knocked down the gatekeeper of Zhang's Mansion who came to pay his respects.

The porter didn't care about talking to him, so he immediately got up and ran to the house to say: "Lang Jun, Lang Jun, Your Majesty's holy decree has arrived again." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Jia was also a little puzzled, and hurriedly put down the appointment letter and greeted him. This time, it was not an internal servant who came to announce the decree, but a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Zhang Jia only glanced at it from a distance, and felt that this person was vigorous, and he was definitely not an internal servant, let alone an ordinary guard or courtier.

The man gradually got closer, stopped a few feet away from Zhang Jia, and looked at the person in front of him. Zhang Jia suddenly felt that this person's eyes were like knives, and he slashed back and forth on him several times.

"Are you Zhang Jia?" asked someone to ask, and his attitude was not good, nor was it bad.

Zhang Jialuo nodded, chuckled, and asked, "I don't know how to address Your Excellency?"

"Yuanbao, the person who hides in the shadow of His Majesty, can't see the light, so he has no identity. Yuan Bao said calmly, with no humility in his attitude.

"It was His Majesty's shadow guard. I don't know what happened here?" Zhang Jia said as he introduced the ingots into the hall.

Yuan Bao was not polite, strode in, and then made a proclamation that only the two of them were present. After the announcement was completed, Yuan Bao took out a stack of Qingjiangbai from his arms and handed it to Zhang Jia, saying, "These are the clues about the treasures of the Dugu clan that Yingwei has sorted out over the years. Now, His Majesty has ordered you and Fang Xiangguo to cooperate with Dugu Sinan to find the treasure, hoping that these materials can help you. ”

"Is this a secret mission?" asked Zhang Jia with a smile after the information of his subordinates.

"Not really. However, the specific implementation process needs to be confidential. And, General Zhang must understand that because it is not a secret mission, you may have many enemies. Yuan Bao's tone was calm.

"Thank you for the reminder, please have a cup of tea, eat two pastries, and rest?" Zhang Jia proposed.

Yuan Bao smiled slightly, waved his hand and refused: "Zhang Gongzi is an understanding person, I am just a shadow, and I can't leave my master for too long." ”

"Then I won't keep your Excellency. Zhang Jia said, handed over a small brocade box, and said, "This is a little heart, please smile." ”

Yuan Bao looked up at him with a rather strange expression.

"Your Excellency, don't be surprised, this is a little careful, it is the practice of the Zhang Mansion. Zhang Jia explained.

"So, I take it. Yuan Bao said and took the brocade box and put it in his arms, then turned and left.

Outside the window, the sun was gradually falling, Zhang Jia sent the ingots out of the gate and then turned back, casually flipped a few pages of records on Qingjiang Bai, and then threw them aside. Because such information is only scratching the surface. Mo said that the Hedong Zhang family in the previous life is the Hedong Zhang family in this life, and there are more detailed, top secret and deeper information about the treasures of the Dugu family.

"Tension. Zhang Jialang shouted.

has already rolled out a long way, standing silently under the wall and looking at the blue sky, it is a pity that a woman as powerful as Yang Azhi has not been able to become the wife of the head of the family. If you become the wife of the head of the house-

Zhang Li sneered proudly, imagining how his son-in-law would be repaired and obedient.

"Tension?" Zhang Jia shouted again.

Zhang Zhang suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly jumped in with a gust of wind, stood in front of Childe in a proper manner, and asked, "Childe, what do you command?"

"Let Zhang Wei and Zhang Jin use the Night Butterfly to inform Chang'an's secret guards to assemble quickly. Zhang Jia gave the order.

When Zhang Zhang heard this, he knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately replied aloud.

Zhang Jia ignored him, but went straight to the main hall and waited for Fang Xuanling in the main hall.

In this compartment, Fang Xuanling, who was regarded as a small report from the palace to the eldest grandson Wuji, accepted Li Shimin's task with a heart of seeing death as home. When he walked out of the Manna Temple, he felt dizzy and didn't know where to go. So looking at the layers of palaces, looking at the red walls and yellow tiles, I suddenly thought of my old partner, Du Ruhui, who had been sick for a long time.

"I haven't seen him in days. Fang Xuanling muttered to himself, looked up again, and saw the sun shining brightly, blue sky and white clouds.

"It's a nice day, and he'll probably be able to go for a walk around the yard. Fang Xuanling muttered to himself again, and then thought of all the things in the past few days, he felt that it was time to meet Du Ruhui.

So, he walked out of the palace wall quickly, and said to the little servant waiting outside the palace gate: "Go to Du Mansion." ”

The little guy hurriedly led the horse and trotted all the way to Du's mansion.

Du Ruhui, because of physical discomfort, has not been to the court for a long time. Even though they were recuperating at home, they were actually lying in bed. If it weren't for a big and urgent matter, Li Shimin wouldn't bother him.

And Fang Xuanling, who is a bosom friend, doesn't dare to disturb him at will. However, he really couldn't decide what happened in the past few days.

"Brother, it's my brother who is really confused. Fang Xuanling said to himself in his heart. Suddenly, he remembered the years he had gone through with Du Ruhui.

The so-called mountains and rivers in the world meet bosom friends, which is actually the encounter between him and Du Ruhui.

Fang Xuanling is young but smart, and he is witty. As a teenager, he is famous all over the world. However, he was so hesitant in his disposition that even the best of his plans were ineffective due to indecision.

Until one day, a teenager who was also known for his wit came to him. That person is Du Ruhui, dressed in white with big sleeves, quite a legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties. He came with all the money and knew how to be polite.

Fang Xuanling only felt that the young man in front of him was like the brilliant sunshine in April, making people feel soft but dazzling.

"In the lower Du Ruhui, the word Keming. I have admired the good name of my brother for a long time, and I admire him. Du Ruhui stepped forward and saluted, his eyebrows soft.

Fang Xuanling has seen many talented people who have become famous in young years, and all talented people, including himself, will more or less have an invisible pride. There will be an inexplicable arrogance in the expression, eyes, and movements. However, the young man in front of him is like a warm spring breeze, and his gestures are humble.

"You may be seated. Fang Xuanling beckoned him to sit down.

Du Ruhui smiled quite shyly, and said embarrassedly: "I took the liberty to come, please forgive my brother." I wanted to send the name card first, but my mother was very strict and rarely agreed to let me go out. ”

Fang Xuanling was quite surprised, there are still mothers in the world who don't allow their sons to go out and learn more. Du Ruhui smiled shyly and explained: "My health has always been bad, and others say that I am a medicine jar." ”

It was at this time that Fang Xuanling discovered that the young man's face was actually very pale. He secretly sympathized, and then the two talked about history, culture, folk customs, military, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, geography, mountains and rivers.

Fang Xuanling felt that when he met an opponent in chess, he had a feeling of meeting an opponent and a bosom friend.

In the days that followed, the two became friends who talked about everything, and Fang Xuanling was surprised to find that this seemingly weak and pale young man judged the timing very accurately. He precisely compensated for the flaws in his character, made up for his indecision.

After that, both of them kept a low profile and sought a small errand to practice training. Then, the two witnessed the tragic struggle between the nobles and the powerful families, and saw with their own eyes the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, and the people were displaced and the people were struggling to make a living.

In the troubled times, Fang Xuanling defected to Li Shimin. Soon after, he also recommended his friend Du Ruhui to him. King Qin gathered a group of talented people around him.

At that time, they were all young people, and they all wanted to be heroes in troubled times, personally end the wars and strife in the world, and establish a peaceful and prosperous world.

And he fought side by side with his friends again, his strategy, Du Ruhui's decision. Others called "Fang Mou Du Xuan", which is the highest praise given to them. In this life, it is really fortunate to be so famous with a confidant.

However, Du Ruhui's body was brought out of her mother's womb, and it was always worse day by day. In the past two years, I have become more and more sick.

"Master, Du Mansion has arrived. The little guy shouted in a low voice.

Fang Xuanling came back to his senses from his memories, turned over and dismounted, and knocked on the knocker. The door opened, and the porter saw that it was Fang Xuanling, so he hurriedly opened the door to greet him.

When Fang Xuanling stepped in, he waved his hand and said to the concierge: "No need to report, I can go by myself." ”

The porter knew that Fang Xiangguo and his master were close friends, so he nodded, turned around and closed the door, found someone to greet the accompanying servant, and fed Fang Xiangguo's horses.

Fang Xuanling walked briskly along the familiar road to Du Ruhui's courtyard. As soon as I turned the arch of the courtyard, I saw that under the laurel tree in the courtyard, Du Ruhui was sitting on a deck chair basking in the sun. Next to him was his wife, leaning over to rub his legs for him, with a smile on his face, not knowing what to say to Du Ruhui. Du Ruyan lowered his head slightly, reached out and stroked his wife's forehead very gently.

Fang Xuanling stood for a while before slowly walking over and shouting, "Keming." ”

"Ah, it's Brother Fang. Du Ruhui turned his head in surprise. Surprised, he coughed incessantly.

Fang Xuanling hurriedly walked over, pressed him who wanted to struggle to get up, and said, "Don't get up, don't get up." ”

After Du Ruhui coughed, he smiled and said, "It's me who is useless, this body is like this." ”

Fang Xuanling felt sad for a while, but his face was pretending to be calm, and said, "You don't have to be pessimistic, have you heard that General Qin is getting better?"

"I've also heard that I'm going out. Du Ruhui said.

Du Ruhui's wife, Zhang Qingniang, immediately asked, "Brother Fang, did you really see General Qin getting better?"

That's exactly what the outside world says. Fang Xuanling said.

"Then I don't know which god healed him?" Zhang Qingniang's eyes were beating with hope.

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Actually, the general's body is not so bad. Now, I am going to resign and go into hiding, and there will be no storms in the future. Naturally, the bones of the body are neat. ”

Zhang Qingniang is a woman who doesn't understand the things, but Du Ruhui understands the twists and turns. He smiled sadly and said, "Those people actually think up to me. ”

"You and I are civil officials, and we are naturally different from military generals. Even if we are not in the court, if Your Majesty asks us something, we can't help but say. Fang Xuanling said slowly.

Du Ruhui was silent, just lying on a chair and looking at the sky.

"Under power, fame, and fortune, each man walks his own way. It's not the same as it used to be. Du Ruhui sighed.

"Keming, I'm still the same person I used to be. Fang Xuanling said.

Du Ruhui smiled, coughed again, and asked directly: "Chu Ke came to see me yesterday, Chang'an is now eventful, you should be very busy." Say, is there something big about coming here today?"

Fang Xuanling still wanted to refute what to say, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that he was hypocritical, so he had to smile bitterly: "You are not in good health, but I still come to bother you." ”

"Brother Fang, when you say this, you will see the outside. Du Ruhui said, waved his hand to Zhang Qingniang and said, "You go to make some simple pastries for Brother Fang to taste." ”

Zhang Qingniang retreated very interestingly, and there were only two people left in the courtyard. Fang Xuanling just said everything that happened in the recent past and Du Ruhui.

"You mean, Qin Qiong and his wife and Yang Minzhi are missing?" Du Ruhui asked.

"It's not missing, it's a solo expedition. Fang Xuanling corrected.

Du Ruhui did not continue this topic, but said: "No matter what, the eldest grandson clan and the Xiao clan have been making great moves recently, so the mind is ugly. ”

"Therefore, when I entered the palace today, I directly stabbed the threat of the eldest grandson Wuji to the emperor. Fang Xuanling said.

Du Ruhui chuckled and said, "Brother Fang, your decision is very good. ”

"But the emperor didn't say anything, but gave me another task. Fang Xuanling lowered his voice and said, "Back then, the army of the Qin Wangfu was pressed by Li Jiancheng. In order to raise military rations. The two of us also let the Captain Touching Gold dig up the treasure. Do you remember that there was a treasure digger who told the secret of the Dugu clan's earth-shattering treasure?"

Du Ruhui nodded and said, "Over the years, although that good hand Ah Jian has died, His Majesty has been looking for this treasure. Later, after the Xuanwu Gate, His Majesty ascended the throne, and the Emperor Taishang also told His Majesty about the treasures of the Dugu family. ”

Now, Dugu Sinan, the only descendant of the Dugu family, has appeared, claiming that someone has been chasing and killing him, and asking about the whereabouts of the Dugu family's treasures. He hoped to be protected by the imperial court, so that the imperial court could help find the treasure and dedicate the treasure to the imperial court. Fang Xuanling said.

Du Ruyan frowned slightly, and then smiled: "This thing is very interesting." This Dugu Sinan is a wonderful person. ”

"This year's Chang'an, I'm afraid it's going to be lively. Wonderful people are more than Dugu Sinan. Fang Xuanling sighed
