The sleepless night passed quietly, and Zhang Jingyuan, who had not slept all night, had bloodshot eyes, and anxiety made people tired.

Zhang Jingyuan got up, stood upright, sorted out his clothes, and walked out of the door step by step.

The wind blew quietly, kicking up a layer of dust outside.

In an instant, I only heard a cry outside, looking not far away, four horses, a good snowflake big Puma, the four of them were jade brocade crowns, a red satin brocade, with a piece of gold armor dragon embroidered brocade, a bright and extraordinary, the four of them were wearing Baiyu Jiuyan Heyan boots on their feet, and the boots were embroidered with the seal of the military department of the guards of the Great Inner Palace, and the four of them spoke with a Hebei accent, followed by a sedan chair of the palace official of the Yuhua Cuilian Palace.

It looked very magnificent from a distance, and the four good horses strode forward, walking quite in formation, and stopped at the door of the left horse, looking at the simple military camp at the door.

The sedan chair was quietly put down, and at this moment, the guards at the door saw such a formation, and instantly a guard rushed into the door, and soon came to Zhang Jing's distance, and reported in a panic: "Big, big, sir, there is a big official visiting." ”

At this moment, Zhang Jingyuan was sitting on a Taishi chair drinking tea, and when he heard this sentence instantly, he was immediately overjoyed, and then his face changed again, and he secretly said in his heart: "Is it from the military department?" ”

Zhang Jingyuan didn't allow himself to think too much, so he immediately got up and strode out, and the guards followed closely behind Zhang Jingyuan.

With the step, at this moment Zhang Jingyuan has strode to the main entrance of the barracks, and as soon as he arrived here, he saw a brightly dressed, snowflake python embroidered on his chest, a four-clawed pixiu, official uniform, and an authentic official uniform.

This person is none other than Liu Qi, the squire of the military department.

As soon as Liu Qi saw Zhang Jingyuan, he immediately greeted him with a smile and said, "Oh, I haven't seen the ninth brother for a few days, I don't know if the old brother is so radiant, it's like being reborn!" ”

Zhang Jingyuan immediately stepped forward with his hands clenched into fists, and replied: "Where, my lord, where is this glorious, isn't this your blessing to drag your lord?" ”

Liu Qi suddenly smiled and said: "Where, the elder brother is young and strong, how can it be the blessing of dragging the old man, this is the blessing of the elder brother himself, and in the future, the elder brother will have to rely on the younger brother to make some fortune and gain some popularity!" ”

Zhang Jingyuan continued: "Okay, brother, let's sit inside, since you come to us, come to me and have a cup of tea!" Let's talk about it, don't you think? ”

Liu Qi nodded suddenly and said, "Yes, we also have to talk." ”

The two walked to each other in a small attic, which was a brand new attic, specially prepared for the commander in the backyard of the barracks, and it was quite bookish.

Liu Qi took the lead in sitting down, Zhang Jingyuan followed closely behind, and then personally served tea.

Both of them picked up their teacups and took a sip respectively, Zhang Jingyuan couldn't help but speak: "I don't know what your lordship is doing when you come to this small temple this time?" ”

Liu Qi immediately touched his beard with his hand, squinted at Zhang Jingyuan and said, "Brother, this celebrity doesn't do dark things, isn't it inhumane to run a horse on the muzzle?" ”

Zhang Jingyuan suddenly pretended to be stupid and said: "What kind of gun is running on the horse, this official really doesn't understand!" I hope that the adults will teach you. ”

As soon as this sentence came out, Liu Qi suddenly said angrily: "Hmph, you, don't talk to me here about donkeys and horses, everyone is a smart person, you do good things, how can we not know, you eat dry rice when we are in the military department, you are the ward, you weigh yourself, don't treat yourself as a green onion, you have to admit it when you do it, understand?" ”

As soon as these words reached Zhang Jingyuan's ears, Zhang Jingyuan suddenly muttered in his heart: "He knows about this matter, in fact, this is not unusual, he only sued me alone in this matter, and it is right to suspect that I released the news, but Li Hu and You Xiao have done a good job of secrecy, it is impossible for him to have evidence in his hand to know that I did it, if there is evidence, it will be revealed as soon as it comes, why bother to meet respectfully first, and then come to a suspicious accusation, this is not logical at all, this can only show one point, the other party does not have my handle in his hand, But he wants to get out of my words, so he first uses the snake to get out of the hole, first out my words, and then, yes, and then it is the purpose of his coming here, the purpose is to cooperate, and then put pressure on me to reopen the matter of dividing interests, if this is the case, it must not be admitted, there is absolutely no handle, and it is absolutely impossible to admit it, so the dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and he will never admit it. ”

Zhang Jingyuan then smiled: "Where, your brother and I haven't done anything, these days, you see that my brother is doing some routine things here, do you know, my brother has been suffocating in a panic these days!" Didn't do anything! ”

Liu Qi still had a dark face and said, "You really stunned me and don't admit it." ”

Zhang Jingyuan smiled bitterly: "Liu Qi, Lord Liu, I really haven't done anything, you have to know your brother's suffering, you don't believe my brother like this, I'm really bitter for my brother!" ”

Liu Qi scolded a few words at the corner of his mouth, and said: "You are really hard-mouthed, obviously you did it, you are pretending here, everyone actually knows it in their hearts, you admit it, I won't blame you, you talk about you, why don't you have this responsibility, or it's not Zhang Jingyuan, Zhang Tongzhi!" ”

Zhang Jingyuan secretly laughed and said: "I, what you said is good, don't you look at what kind of world this is, if I admit it in this dishonest world, what if you bite me back, some things are said with your mouth, your mouth is unfounded, you say you don't care, don't blame, you say, say, it's unreliable, I think sometimes it's safer to pretend not to know than to know." ”

Zhang Jingyuan suddenly replied: "I really don't know, if you don't have a big person, you really don't have anything to do, so don't go back first!" ”

Liu Qi suddenly looked at Zhang Jingyuan's expression, didn't know how to respond, suddenly thought for a moment, and said: "Hey, forget it, now that the new monkeys have become old monkeys, I originally wanted to work with you, but now it seems that your attitude like this obviously can't continue, I think we should forget it!" Now that you've issued an eviction order, I can't be too demanding, some things still depend on fate! ”

Zhang Jingyuan was taken aback, and secretly thought to himself: "This old fox is really cunning, so calm, it's really unusual, it seems that you have to weigh the pros and cons, and only then can you understand something, and only then can you open up some things, finally there is such an opportunity, how can the opportunity be allowed to run away in front of you." ”

Zhang Jingyuan suddenly smiled and said: "Where, this Lord Liu Qi's words are strict, this saying is good, it is difficult to draw dragons and tigers, it is difficult to catch thieves and traitors, it is difficult to catch ghosts, I have just arrived, and it is still strange to me, in such a situation, you should also know that I am going to rely on the big tree to enjoy the shade, and now it is empty like a shadow, so many things are still very easy to do for the military department, if this is not compatible with me, a child who has not dried up, then those old ghosts are more in the eyes of money, you say yes, be a man, In fact, I also understand that the three points of courtesy are all bitter, between the sacrifice, the hardship can be gained, and the sacrifice can be obtained, right? ”

Liu Qi couldn't help laughing: "Well, now that it sounds like this, these words are still a little interesting, not as unreasonable as before." ”

Zhang Jingyuan smiled and said: "This, a person who has not dried up, relies on the above to give him something to eat, and lives and dies with the above, has no foundation, and has sincerity, and can be restrained to cooperate, compared to those who are cunning and cunning, have a deep foundation, and are all in front of one person and one behind the other, and the people who are fighting for their interests to work together, is there a slight choice between the two?" I don't know if the adults have thought about it, but I think the adults also came to talk to me about cooperation this time, so you must know the depth of this. ”

Liu Qi suddenly bit his lip and said slowly: "Yes, I used to think like this, and our military department also meant this, but recently someone released news, which made us careless and happy, so we still don't admit it, this new monkey has become an old monkey, and these shades of things are all compared on one level, and now I think there is no choice, all have a taste." ”

Zhang Jingyuan suddenly took a breath, and said in his heart: "It seems that if you don't come up with some real effort, you really can't reconcile without blood!" What do you say to make me admit to the matter of releasing the news, isn't it just to tell me to lower the interests of the division, since you want it, it's a big deal I'll give you some generously. ”

Zhang Jingyuan continued: "My lord, I don't dare to admit what I haven't done, it may be that there are lawbreakers spreading rumors, I think adults also have a mission, since we are already brothers, it is better to let my brothers do a personal favor and give them to adults, didn't the adults just say that we cooperated, and the rewards and promotion opportunities were given to me, now I don't want to reward them, the rewards will go to the military department, I just need a chance to be promoted, but what, the promotion opportunity requires three places, me and the two overseers, okay?" ”

Liu Qi immediately heard the news, as if it was in line with his heart, and immediately laughed loudly, and said: "It's really good, my brother really understands my brother's mind, since this is the case, then my brother should go down, and this time the two of us will cooperate." ”

Zhang Jingyuan also smiled at this moment and nodded again and again.

Liu Qi continued: "Is the brother so generous, then the elder brother has to show some sincerity, why don't you let the elder brother take the younger brother to a good place tonight, how about it?" ”

Zhang Jingyuan nodded slightly, and then the two began to set up a banquet, drinking wine and eating meat with each other, time slowly passed, and the matter of cooperation was settled at this moment.
