Leaving the Pegasus Ranch and Lu Miaozi, who lived in seclusion there, Shi Qingyi hurried all the way, and finally arrived in Chang'an City, Xijing, after more than ten days. At this time, Chang'an had been possessed by Li Valve, and the previous sense of depression covered with war clouds had long since ceased to exist. The soldiers stationed at the city gate and the villagers who entered and exited the city gate greeted each other casually, and if it weren't for the traces of the war on the city walls, it really wouldn't have been possible to see that there had been a fierce battle here not long ago. Li Valve's army, except for a part of the elite soldiers in Taiyuan, most of them were composed of recruited rebels, the composition of these rebels was complex, and the discipline was not strict enough, but fortunately, the military discipline formulated by Li Yuan was very strict, and anyone who dared to rob the people's property was beheaded. Therefore, although they were stationed in the city, they got along well with the people in the city

Shi Qingyi walked into the city gate, and came to a small soldier's armor, Shi Qingyi was just about to take out his forged road guide to get through the pass, but suddenly found that this little soldier was a little familiar, so she stood still, but her mind began to rummage in the corners of memory, because she had only been to Chang'an once, and she had a purpose, so she then remembered when she had seen this guy, so she pretended to take out the road guide and walked to the little soldier, In the next moment, he secretly stretched out his hand to restrain this guy, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that I haven't seen you for a few years, and the second-rate pickpocket at the beginning has also become a ruffian, what about Zhang Gongjin?" Take me to him. Xiao Bing was suddenly restrained, and suddenly he was shocked and wanted to shout out, but Shi Qingyi was not confused, he sealed his dumb hole early in the morning, Xiao Bing opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't shout anything, then he came to his senses, and when he heard Shi Qingyi's words, his eyes suddenly widened, and he looked directly at Shi Qingyi's face.

"Recognized? Hey, even after seven or eight years, I won't forget your unlucky stupid monkey who crashed into my hand. Shi Qingyi slapped open the acupoint of the little soldier armor and said, "Don't go quickly." "Yes!" Xiao Bingjia answered, and immediately took Shi Qingyi through the city gate and walked inside. Not far from the city gate is a military station, a place where a group of soldiers take turns to rest, Zhang Gongjin is among them, and unlike others, his identity is an officer, although it is the lowest rank, at this time, he saw Xiao Bingjia walking in with Shi Qingyi, and immediately asked: "Ah Liang, why did you bring people in, what's the matter?" The little soldier named Ah Liang didn't dare to speak loudly, until he walked to Zhang Gongjin's ear, then quietly pointed at Shi Qingyi, and whispered: "She's the eldest sister." ”

"Big sister?!" Shi Qingyi's ears are very good, even if the voice of the little soldier armor is light, he can hear it clearly, Shi Qingyi was slightly stunned, and then remembered that seven or eight years ago, these guys did use this title to call themselves. Zhang Gongjin was also stunned, and then, his face also changed, and he looked at Shi Qingyi's face, although Shi Qingyi's face at this time was not similar to the face in his memory in the past, but they all had the same pair of sharp eyes, and the owner who had such a pair of eyes unique to the world, Zhang Gongjin believed that he himself would never forget jì for the rest of his life. "Wait a minute." Zhang Gongjin immediately confessed to Shi Qingyi, and went back to greet his soldiers: "I have something to go out for, you take care of everything, and don't go wrong." With that, he nodded at Shi Qingyi, and walked out with Shi Qingyi with Xiao Bingjia.

The three of them sat down in a small teahouse, and Shi Qingyi said some of those things in those years, because they were all parties at the time, so Zhang Gongjin finally confirmed that Shi Qingyi was indeed the person back then.

Speaking of which, when the blessing of Tuoshi Tsing Yi, Zhang Gongjin was able to worship a martial arts hall in the northwest of the city, and became a disciple of this martial arts hall, and then the old hall owner died, Zhang Gongjin because of the contradiction with the people in the martial arts hall, so he went out of the martial arts hall to find a way out, he was already strong, and learned a good martial arts under the door of the old hall owner, plus the original more than a dozen subordinates to help, so a few years down, in Guanzhong reselling goods also made a lot of money, and then Guanzhong chaos, thieves swarmed, Zhang Gongjin felt that it was too risky to resell goods, so he returned to Chang'an and took over several industries to make a living.

When Li Yuan attacked Chang'an, because Chang'an was short of troops, Yin Shishi and Li Jing sent a part of the young men in the city to guard the city wall together. Later, Chang'an City was broken by Li Yuan's army, the Yin Shishi was killed, and Li Jing was also arrested, although Li Yuan pardoned the sins of many people after entering the city, but for the army that once fiercely resisted in the city, Li Yuan could not help but be deeply jealous, so he transferred them out of Chang'an City, and Li Yuan's own army was also for various reasons, except for a small number of elites, most of them were not suitable for entering the city to station, in this case, like Zhang Gongjin, a ragtag army composed of people and strong, Instead, he got a beautiful mess and was requisitioned and transferred to Chang'an City, responsible for a series of public security maintenance work, after all, they were originally the people in the city, and it didn't take a few days to pick up a sword, and it was just right to maintain law and order.

The above is all Zhang Gongjin's experience over the years, although there are many thrilling places, but most of the life is still very dull, Shi Qingyi did not say his situation over the years, just said that he is still running around as before, running around, and then, she said to Zhang Gongjin with a smile: Ask him if he wants to get ahead, dream of a general, and lead thousands of troops.

Of course Zhang Gongjin thought, and this was what Shi Qingyi had promised him many years ago, so he respectfully asked Shi Qingyi how he could do it in order to realize his dream. So, just like in his early years, Shi Qingyi asked him a similar question again: "What do you think of Li Yuanqi?" Zhang Gongjin knew that this was Shi Qingyi's examination of him, and his answer would determine Shi Qingyi's final attitude towards him, in fact, as early as when the news that Li Yuan's army was about to attack Guanzhong in a big way, Zhang Gongjin had already begun to pay attention to the description of Li Yuan in various information, and he finally came to the conclusion that Li Yuan was more than enough to defend and slightly insufficient, and he could protect the Pure Land but could not go further, but with the formation of the situation in Guanzhong after Li Yuan's first battle, Zhang Gongjin couldn't help but change his opinion, Even if Li Yuan's talent is inferior, but he is not alone, behind him, is a group of excellent teams that can make up for any shortcomings of Li Yuan, especially for Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin, for Zhang Gongjin, this young hero who has shown enough brilliance in the battle of Guanzhong, at least he is far inferior to ......

In the face of many years later, Shi Qingyi's re-examination school, Zhang Gongjin knew everything, and told all his observations and thoughts one by one, in fact, Zhang Gongjin also vaguely felt that the unification of the world was none other than Li Yuan's team, if not, he would not continue to stay in the army, but left immediately, after all, if you want to achieve a meritorious career, you have a pair of eyes that can observe.

"So what do you think of Li Shimin, the second son of King Tang?" Shi Qingyi asked again. "Heroic and decisive, the future god of war of the Tang Dynasty must be the only one!" Zhang Gongjin replied, but when his eyes met Shi Qingyi's calm gaze, he suddenly felt that everything in his heart was hidden in front of the girl in front of him, this feeling finally made him bow his head slightly, and his voice became low: he said in a low voice: "Li Yuan is old, but the world is still turbulent and has no signs of stopping. I am afraid that after a hundred years of Li Yuan, the person who can inherit Li Yuan's career is the one who His Royal Highness the Duke of Qin...... "It is clear that the process of unifying the world in the Tang Dynasty has just begun, but in the eyes of Zhang Gongjin, Li Yuan's successor is no longer the matter of Li Jiancheng, the son of the Tang Dynasty." The so-called prophecy, in fact, does not mean that you can have more resources and wealth than others, but it lies in the ability to perceive the subtleties. For Zhang Gongjin's investigation, Shi Qingyi was finally satisfied.

"You're good." Shi Qingyi said: "The eldest husband should carry a three-foot sword and make immortal feats." Not to mention today's troubled times. So, I would like to ask your opinion now, 'Are you willing to join the account of the Duke of Qin and become a small soldier in his charge?' "Duke Qin is now Li Shimin's title, so correspondingly, Shi Qingyi's other identity, Changsun Jing, of course, is also the Duchess of Qin, although it is nominal, but it can still decide many things, and arranging a person casually is naturally a trivial matter. The person who was surprised by Shi Qingyi's words was Zhang Gongjin, although he had already guessed that Shi Qingyi's identity might have a great origin, but he definitely didn't expect that Shi Qingyi would have any connection with Li Valve, so unconsciously, Zhang Gongjin asked: "Dare to ask, in fact, your relationship with Taiyuan Li Valve is ......" His words were interrupted by Shi Qingyi before he finished speaking, "No, I have no blood relationship with them." "There is no blood relationship, Shi Qingyi is not lying. Seeing that Zhang Gongjin was about to fall into a bitter meditation entanglement, Shi Qingyi seemed to be unconcerned and asked softly: "What, don't you want to?" "What?" Zhang Gongjin immediately reacted, and immediately hurriedly said: "How can you be unwilling, it is Gongjin's honor to be able to serve under the account of Duke Qin." So Shi Qingyi smiled and said: "Okay, that's it, it's decided, your dispatch will arrive in a few days, do a good job in the future, don't let me down." As he spoke, he drank the juice in the tea bowl in his hand lightly, and asked as if unintentionally, "Is your sister okay?" "Zhang Gongjin's sister was still the same size as Shi Qingyi seven or eight years ago, and now she should have grown up, but I don't know how she is doing at this time? When Zhang Gongjin heard this, a look of distress appeared on his face, and he said, "My sister is no longer in Chang'an at this time?" She has already gone to Taiyuan......"

Shi Qingyi was drinking tea at this time, and almost choked when he heard the words, although it is no coincidence that there is no book, however, it can't be so coincidental, right? Zhang-Jieyu?!! But I heard Zhang Gongjin continue: "In the previous years, I traveled everywhere, and I went to Taiyuan a few times, but I didn't expect to meet a distant cousin of mine, originally she was just a palace maid on duty in Jinyang Palace, but I didn't expect to hand over good luck, and now I am a woman of the Tang King, my cousin saw me to know what happened over the years, because I pity my little sister, so I want her to take care of her, and now they have not come from Taiyuan." Shi Qingyi put his mind at ease, it's right to think about it, after all, the world has the same surname, and it is not an incredible thing for Zhang Gongjin and Zhang Jieyu to know each other. Thereupon......

"That's it, let's leave it at that, just wait patiently for news." Shi Qingyi finally swallowed a full cup of tea and said, and at the same time got up and was about to leave, Zhang Gongjin immediately got up: "Where is the eldest sister going?" I'll go with you. Shi Qingyi looked back and smiled: "I'm going to Tang Wang's Mansion to run a relationship for you, can you go in?" "The mansion of Tang King Li Yuan has undoubtedly become the most important place in the entire Chang'an City at this time, and Zhang Gongjin is naturally not qualified to enter the small army captain. Therefore, he could only stop and watch Shi Qingyi's figure gradually move away.
