In the fifth year of Taihe, the ninth month of Bingchen, the first moment of the unitary month.

Chengdu Mansion, Jiedu Shuai Mansion.

Zhang Yijun and Wei Rong entered the mansion side by side and walked straight to the spacious front hall. It was dark, and there was no one in the temple, and the candles were not burned. Wei Rong put the surrounding paperwork records on the desk of the Jiedu envoy in the front hall, and came out to ask the soldiers in front of the palace, only to know that the officials of the Jiedu envoy's mansion were all assigned tasks when he went to retrieve the records of the fangmen. In addition, there has been a curfew, and no one will come again unless there is a summoning order from the Marshal's Office, so it can be said that the front hall where the officials are meeting and working together has long been empty.

The two also had a tacit understanding, looked at each other, and without saying much, they invariably bypassed the front hall, walked up to the right side of the pavilion, and went to the middle hall.

Seeing that there was no one in the front hall, Zhang Yijun was suddenly a little anxious, but what he was anxious about, Zhang Yijun himself couldn't tell. There are too many things to experience in this short day, and the information obtained is disorganized, and now we urgently need to quietly sort out all the information points, otherwise I will only feel a mess in my head.

Zhang Yi didn't want to speak, and glanced at Wei Rong sideways, feeling that he didn't say a word as if he had something on his mind, and his relaxed expression before he changed the mansion. Presumably, the matter in Victoria has not yet settled, and everyone involved in the conspiracy will have something on their minds.

In this way, the two silently walked to the door of the nave of the Jiedu Envoy's mansion in a delicate atmosphere, and both stopped.

There were lance-bearers in front of the door, but the door of the temple was closed, but through the window paper there was a bright candlelight.

"Is Li Jiedu here?" Wei Rong bowed his hand and whispered to the guards in front of the hall.

The tooth soldiers who can garrison the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion are different from the Wuwei Army, Weiyuan Army and Heavenly Expeditionary Army in Chengdu Mansion, and their people are all pro-soldiers carefully selected by the Jiedu Envoy or Jiedu Envoy. Since the enlargement of the feudal town after the Anshi Rebellion, the Jiedu envoy often controlled the military, political and economic power of the entire feudal town, and the importance of his own soldiers was naturally self-evident. Therefore, even if Wei Rongguan is in the sixth grade, he does not dare to be rude to the guards of the festival.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Wei Rong took two steps forward and walked to the front of the temple door, but the hand that was about to knock on the door hesitated for a moment after hearing the sound of speech inside, and finally knocked lightly three times.

However, with two flicks of his fingers, the door of the palace opened inward, and the person who opened the door was a tooth soldier general dressed in bright light armor, with a mustache and a torch-like gaze, and Zhang Yi seemed to have never met.

"General Yang?!" Wei Rong said with a look of surprise.

"General Yang?" Zhang Yijun looked suspicious, and then looked at the general-looking person standing at the door and asked confirmatively: "Yang Zong, the general of the tooth soldiers?" ”

"It's the last general!" Yang Zong bowed and suddenly asked Zhang Yijun: "How did Your Excellency know Yang's name?" ”

Zhang Yijun was also confused for a while, and a few hours ago, it was the person who claimed to be the tooth soldier Zhonglang who knocked Yang Zong unconscious and sent him to Wenshufang. But the person's appearance was very different from Yang Zong's appearance in front of him. Moreover, the previous "Yang Zong" had a thick beard on his chin, and the armor he wore was also different, so to speak......

The previous "Yang Zong" was fake?

However, why did Li Zhi send a fake "Yang Zong" to kidnap him, but asked Xue Yuansheng to send him out of the workshop, Zhang Yijun still does not know.

Facing Wei Rong and Yang Zong's slightly puzzled gazes, Zhang Yijun tried his best to hide his expression, and said haha: "After entering the city, I heard the name of Yang Zong, the commander of the Tooth Soldier of Jiedu, so I asked by the way." ”

Wei Rong glanced at Zhang Yijun a few more times, while Yang Zong smiled with a relaxed expression, glanced at Zhang Yijun and Wei Rong, and said slowly: "But don't call General Yang, Yang is no longer a general in the tooth soldiers......" After speaking, without waiting for Zhang Yijun and Wei Rong to ask, Yang Zong got out of the way from the door, and Xichuan Jiedu made Li Deyu come from the palace.

Yi Jun ...... Coming back? ”

Li Deyu's face was gentle, and although his words were flat, his eyes expressed the mood of reunion after a long absence.

"Yijun meets Li Gong......" Zhang Yijun looked at Li Deyu, solemnly crossed his hands, and bowed solemnly, but was supported by Li Deyu.

Yang Zong and Wei Rong were both a little stunned. It's just a secret pile, and in the final analysis, it's just a staff member with no official character. Although the Jiedu envoy has always been kind to people, he is also dignified, but Li Deyu has a completely different treatment for Zhang Yijun just now, not so much as a corporal Lixian, but more like a friend with a deep friendship?

Wei Rong only remembered that when he was transferred to Xichuan, he had heard that this dark pile whose real name was Zhang Yijun seemed to have entered Sichuan with Li Deyu last year, and he was young but capable, but what he had heard was nothing more than that, and the origin of this secret pile couldn't help but make Wei Rong a little curious.

Li Deyu turned the conversation to Yang Zong, and said: "What Xiangyi just said is a decision just now, he has repeatedly asked that he wants to be transferred to the general of the Wuwei Army, but I don't allow it, and I can't resist Xiangyi's begging, so I agree to let him be transferred to the lieutenant of Zuo Guoyi of the Wuwei Army......"

Zhang Yijun and Wei Rong looked at each other, and then looked at Yang Zong, showing doubts. Xichuan is the central government, and the Ya Bing Zhonglang will live in the official residence from the sixth grade, and because the commander is the commander of the Jie Du to make the pro-soldiers, the power and status in the domain town are much higher than other military attaches of the same grade, and the Wuwei military general is the seventh grade, which is a proper demotion, as for Zuo Guoyi Duwei, although Xichuan is the sixth grade, but he does not command the tooth soldiers, and the discerning people know that it is a bright promotion and a secret descent. No matter who it is, I'm afraid they will be dissatisfied with this, and it is not surprising that this decision was actually proposed by Yang Zong himself.

Wei Rong was also direct, "Huh...... Isn't this a demotion? What did it come about? ”

Yang Zong lowered his hand and said with a smile: "To be a tooth general, just to guard the Shuaifu, it will be boring to do it for a long time, so I want to take advantage of this opportunity to send troops into Victoria to go to the front line again......"

Wei Rong was a little surprised, but he was still full of praise, and said with a transactional smile: "...... There is General Yang...... Yang Duwei is in Victoria, and my generation can only feel at ease if it is true. ”

Wei Rong turned to report to the Jiedu envoy that the entry and exit records of the various doors had been placed in the front hall, and after Li Deyu listened patiently, he ordered Wei Rong to go back to the house to rest first.

"What about sending troops...... Xiangyi: What is going to do? Seeing Wei Rong leave, Yang Zong crossed his hand and asked the envoy.

Li Deyu nodded, but only heard Zhang Yijun stop it loudly.

"Wait!" In the slightly surprised eyes of the two, Zhang Yijun crossed his hands and asked, "...... Captain Yang sent troops, but went to Victoria? ”

"Exactly, Xi Tanmou has arrived in Chengdu Waiguo, and Yang must first arrange for his subordinates to enter the city." Yang Zong replied truthfully.

Oops, Zhang Yijun was shocked, he didn't expect that the defenders who were stumbling on their feet could march so fast. However, now that the murder of the predecessor is suspicious, coupled with the confession that Li Zhi has brewed as mentioned by Xue Tao, Zhang Yijun always has a kind of uneasiness in his heart.

Li Deyu patiently added: "...... Yi Jun, you also returned safely, so you don't have much to worry about, and then you will be led by the Victorian assassin Shi Yu Zangjian, Xiangyi led the army of 1,000 people, led the troops into the city, and the surrender of Victoria was decided. ”

"Can the dispatch of troops be postponed?" Zhang Yijun's expression was solemn and his words were sincere.

These words were like a thunderbolt, which made Li Deyu and Yang Zong look stunned.

Li Deyu narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhang Yijun's expression, and asked with concern, "Why do you say this?" ”

Yang Zong was so anxious that he shouted in a little panic: "Xi Tanmou has arrived in Chengdu, and Victoria is now an empty city!" It is only a matter of time before the vigilance of the troops in South Tubo Province changes, and it will take at least half a day to send troops from Chengdu to Victoria! If it is delayed, when the time comes, they will send people into the city, and Victoria's plan will be ...... It's just a wasted effort! ”

Of course, Zhang Yi knows this.

Li Deyu's expression became obviously serious, as if he was speculating about what Zhang Yijun was worried about.

"Yi Jun said something that is not in line with etiquette," Zhang Yijun solemnly arched his hand and said: "Victoria's plan was facilitated by Yi Jun, unless it is a last resort, Yi Jun will never change the plan without permission." ”

“…… Even if you do it, you are not qualified to stop me from recovering the lost ground! Yang Zong rushed out.

Li Deyu was silent for a long time, and then instructed Yang Zongdao: "You immediately lead a thousand Wuwei troops, and then recruit and transfer a thousand people from the Heavenly Expeditionary Army, led by the assassin Shi Yu Zangjian of Victoria, and the troops will go out of Chengdu and take Victoria directly, in case of accidents." A certain book is immediately on the book, and the master of Jiejing is passed on! ”

"Gong Li, this matter is not a matter of doubling the troops......"

Li Deyu ignored Zhang Yijun's words, his face was a little displeased, he tore off the goldfish bag that symbolized his identity at his waist and handed it to Yang Zong, which was counted as a token for troop transfer.

"There is no time to delay this." Li Deyu ordered Yang Zongdao in an unobtrusive tone, but in Zhang Yijun, it sounded like he was talking to himself.

"Whoa!" Yang Zong took the goldfish bag with both hands, quickly turned around and ran to the pavilion, and walked quickly to the door of the mansion.

At the end, Li Deyu looked at Zhang Yijun, whose face could not hide his disappointment and weakness, turned around and walked to the main seat of the middle hall, and said a little unceremoniously: "The matter has come to this, don't say more!" ”

“…… If Sima Zhu was killed, what about other hidden circumstances? ”

These words made Li Deyuhui's eyes tremble, his masseter muscles twitched, he immediately stopped, and looked back at Zhang Yijun in some shock.

If it is said that since he took office as the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu, the most shocking and regrettable thing for Li Deyu is the murder of his predecessor Sima Zhu, a secret pile in Victoria. At that time, when the news reached Chengdu Mansion, the officialdom was in an uproar, which could be called the disgrace of the new official. After this incident, Li Deyu was a real loner in Xichuan, and some people blamed the incident on Li Deyu's lack of ability, while others set off conspiracy theories about party disputes. Later, if it weren't for Li Deyu's ability to rely on his outstanding ability to do things, reverse the withering situation in Shuzhong after Nanzhao entered the Kou, train new soldiers, and reform the defense, it is unknown whether he can control the intricate interpersonal relationships in Shuzhong and rein in Li Huaishen and others.

Zhang Yijun's eyes were blazing, word by word, and his voice was low.

"In the marshal's house...... There are dark piles! ”
