The muffled voice echoes faintly in the narrow aisles, making it difficult to identify the person who spoke. However, Zhang Rang's expression changed drastically, he took a step back, his face showed extreme caution, and screamed, "Who is it?" ”

No matter who it was, he was able to pass through the blockade of the prison guards and Zhang's personal guards, and reach here as if he had entered a no-man's land, which was enough to make Zhang Rang frightened.

"Don't come to the middle waiter!" The man approached, and finally showed his face in the dim wallfire.

"Whew!" Zhang Rang breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly said, "It turned out to be Han Yang!" ”

Liu Tao also whispered: "General Nan? ”

Although the Huangmen Beisi Prison is heavily guarded, for Nanying, who is also a capital official, it is like a wide open door, just a few months ago, hundreds of suspects in the rebellion case were brought to trial by him one by one. As for Zhang Rang's personal guards, who doesn't know the friendship between Nanying and the Zhang family? I didn't dare to stop them if I had the courage to do so.

Zhang Rang's heart was just relieved, and immediately a trace of gloom appeared on his face: "Han Yang, I don't know if this official heard it wrong?" Do you want to save this man? ”

"You heard it right!" Nan Ying put his hands behind his back and walked slowly: "That's what I meant!" ”

"Is it the Son of Heaven's dictation?" Zhang Rang's heart couldn't help jumping, and he forced a smile: "Why doesn't this official know?" ”

"You don't have to worry, the Son of Heaven didn't give me any edicts, it's completely my personal opinion!" Nanying waved his sleeves and dusted off the dust on the ground, and sat on the ground casually.

"What? Hanyang, what do you mean by that! Zhang Rang couldn't help but feel angry, and he said sharply: "You and Feng'er are brothers and sisters, and you are also friends with this official, and you also have a lifelong friendship, would you abandon this affectionate friendship for the sake of a mere Liu Tao?" ”

"You're right!" Nan Ying raised his head, and looked at Zhang Rang without giving in to his eyes: "I have a life-and-death friendship with your father and son!" How? Today, I just want to ask you to let go of an insignificant Liu Tao, are you going to sweep my face? ”

"You!" Zhang Rang's face flashed with green energy, and his palms trembled lightly with anger, and he was speechless for a while.

"General, I don't deserve your such maintenance!" Liu Tao suddenly sighed and said: "For such a lonely minister as me, it's not worth offending so many powerful people who have a good relationship with you!" ”

"Shut up! What's the matter with you? Nanying shouted in a low voice: "If you want to die, it is your business, and whoever I want to save, he must not die!" ”

Liu Tao smiled bitterly and didn't speak again, because he knew Nan Ying's temper too well. His eyes suddenly moistened, Han Yang, Han Yang, you and I just had a mutual friendship in Chang'an, can you be so desperate to help? Make friends like you, I, Liu Tao, have no regrets in life and death!

"Hanyang!" Zhang Rang's voice sounded again, he obviously controlled his emotions, and said slowly: "With your friendship with me, with the affection I owe you, I should have obeyed my words." It's a pity that Liu Tao must die, and the Son of Heaven will never allow him to live in the world! ”

"There is me on the other side of the Son of Heaven, it's a big deal that I will turn my face with him!" Nanying's tone made Zhang Rang and Liu Tao gasp at the same time, and Liu Tao smiled even more bitterly, it seems that his ability to commit is a little worse than the one in front of him.

"Han Yang is confused!" Zhang Rang's piercing scream suddenly sounded, shaking the four walls for a while: "Even if you can make the Son of Heaven compromise, do you know how much it will cost?" I tell you the truth, because of the peerless merit of defending the imperial capital, the Son of Heaven has ordered me to draft an edict, and you will be promoted to be the general of the expedition to the west, the commander of the department, and the captain of the school, and stationed in Chang'an! What a glory is this? How can you ......?"

"I'm not rare, how about exchanging this reward for Liu Tao's life?"

"What?" Zhang Rang was shocked, staring at Nan Ying in disbelief and said, "What is your relationship with Liu Tao?" How can you be so discarded from such glory and riches? ”

Liu Tao was also discolored, and suddenly he shouted with all his might: "The surname is Nan, this official doesn't need you to be pitiful, you are just Zhang Rang's fellow party of this eunuch......"

A hand knife landed accurately on his neck, and Liu Tao rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.

"Do you want to provoke me to leave in a rage?" Nan Ying withdrew his palm and spat at Liu Tao, who had fainted to the ground: "Don't insult my IQ!" ”

"Hanyang!" Zhang Rang said with a gloomy face: "It seems that you must go against me, and the next thing is to take out the imperial decree of the Son of Heaven to force me on?" ”

"You're wrong!" Nan Ying said sincerely: "As you said, I have a lifelong friendship with your Zhang family, and I will still be in the same boat in the future, sharing weal and woe!" How could I be against you? ”

"Humph!" Zhang Rang's face gradually softened, obviously thinking of Nanying's various feelings for him that day, and he said angrily: "Since you still miss this friendship, then while only you and I are present, you must give me an explanation, why do you want to save Liu Tao at all costs!" ”

"No reason!" Nan Ying said calmly: "You know me, I have killed countless people, because they are enemies, and there are countless people who have been saved, but there is no reason!" ”

"Save someone!" He laughed self-deprecatingly: "Need a reason?" ”

"You ......."

"Alright! Don't be angry, if you have to say a reason, then Liu Tao shouldn't die! ”

"You're saying it easy! If he lives, not only me, but even the Son of Heaven will become the laughing stock of the world! ”

"How can I not know your suffering? I'm just saying that Liu Tao shouldn't die, and whether he will still make trouble for you is of course another matter! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Rang couldn't help frowning.

"Man, I'll take it! And ensure that this person will not appear in public for the rest of your life. And you, you can declare to the world that Liu Tao has died of a sudden illness in prison! Nanying smiled: "How's that?" Now the Servant won't doubt my sincerity anymore, will he? ”

"Well, that's fine!" Zhang Rang finally understood what Nanying meant, and he hesitated: "It's just..."

"I remember you just said that you owe me a favor!" Nan Ying sighed: "Help me this time, you and I can start all over again!" ”

"Alright! I hope this will not affect the relationship between you and me! Zhang Rang said coldly: "I just hope that Han Yang will not regret today's events in the future!" ”

"Today's incident is just an accident!" Nan Ying's heart was irritable, he suddenly just wanted to get out of this cage, even far away from Luoyang, never to come back, he barely controlled his complexion, and continued to smile insincerely: "I and your father and son, are still the staunchest allies!" Please be considerate! ”

"Good! I hope Hanyang has the same heart! Zhang Rang finally returned to his normal look, and he raised his hand: "Go slowly, don't send it!" ”

Nan Ying nodded, leaned over and picked up Liu Tao's body, put it on his shoulder, and strode out. He knew in his heart that no matter how he explained, he and Zhang Rang would inevitably have a dislike because of today's events, and there would never be any more harmony of the day.

"Southern Hawk! How daring! The Spirit Emperor's angry voice shook the side hall and echoed endlessly, as if he was angrily reprimanding him for his disobedience over and over again: "Do you dare to act so recklessly because of my trust in you?" ”

"Brother don't dare!" Nanying Mu Ran said: "The younger brother does things but seeks peace of mind, and he does not have any pampered and arrogant intentions!" ”

"Take your exploits and the grace I have bestowed upon you to exchange the life of a death row inmate?" Emperor Ling said angrily: "Do you still say that your heart is at peace? Have you ever taken me as the Son of Heaven in your eyes? ”

"You have just made a great military achievement, and I am thinking about how to compensate you, and even the draft edict has been prepared!" He gasped and said hatefully, "You immediately put me in a difficult position, did you deliberately want to see my jokes?" ”

"When my brother does things, I just want to have a clear conscience!" Nan Ying said proudly: "The younger brother has made meritorious deeds desperately, not to seek His Majesty's promotion, but to repay His Majesty's trust!" With the grace of His Majesty, the enshrined Eagle Yang Zhonglang General, then as a general, it is the duty of the younger brother to defend the imperial capital and defend the Son of Heaven, what is the merit? ”

"Just as the younger brother still leads the errand of the capital officials, it is within the duty of the supervision department to subordinate hundreds of officials!" He said heavily: "Liu Tao doesn't deserve to die, and his brother is just doing his duty and doing the right thing!" ”

"Do your duty and do the right thing!" Emperor Ling roared again: "Are you insinuating that I am moody and indiscriminately killing ministers? ”

"If an emperor can only defend the dignity of imperial power by killing people! Then this is not Liwei, but weak-heartedness, weakness, and cowardice! Nanying looked at the Spirit Emperor without giving an inch and said, "There must always be some people who are not afraid of death to stand up and make up for the mistakes of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"You mean I'm scared? And you're not afraid of death! The Spirit Emperor laughed angrily: "I know, you are indeed not afraid of death!" You and I are the so-called Mingchen and faint masters, right? ”

"Brother don't dare!" Nan Ying finally smiled bitterly: "Between you and me, at most, we can only be regarded as difficult brothers, just because my brother has never lived a good life since he followed His Majesty!" ”

"Get out!" The Spirit Emperor suddenly rushed down the dragon steps, raised his leg and kicked at the Southern Eagle.

Nan Ying was stunned and screamed: "As the Son of Heaven, how can you beat your subordinates? ”

"That's it!" Emperor Ling finally showed a smile on his face: "If I don't scold a few words and kick it, how can the displeasure in my heart dissipate?" ”

Nan Ying touched You Zi's aching thigh, and said with a wry smile: "Then how can the grievances suffered by the younger brother be dispersed?" ”

"I didn't cut off your head, and I dared to complain!" Emperor Ling glared at him, and suddenly sighed: "Actually, you handled this matter well, let Liu Tao disappear from the world forever, I not only saved face, but also stabilized Zhang Rang and those people!" It's just a pity that you have failed my hard work, and this promotion will be far away! ”

"It doesn't matter!" Nan Ying shrugged his shoulders and said: "Brother Chen has already said that in the end, he can only be qualified for one Taishou, and it is not a blessing for the official to be big, and he will suffer in vain!" ”

"No ambition!" Emperor Ling hated that iron could not become steel and said: "You prepare an eagle Yang Zhonglang will be old!" ”

"What?" Nan Ying's eyes lit up and he exclaimed, "So, Your Majesty doesn't intend to punish me?" ”

"You've got a good idea!" Emperor Ling feigned anger and said, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime ...... I'll punish you for two things! ”

"Your Majesty, please!" Nanying was relaxed for a while, and the gloom in his heart that had been depressed for the past two days had dissipated a lot. It seems that Emperor Ling is still very kind to himself, and he did such a forbidden act on impulse, and he only punished him for two things.

"The first one!" Emperor Ling muttered: "I am afraid that only a few people know about your private indulgence in Liu Tao, but they are all people who are accused by Liu Tao, and I must give an account to them!" ”

"Yes! Brother I understand! Nan Ying smiled bitterly and said: "If Your Majesty confesses to them, you will be exempted from the promotion of your younger brother, but you can't explain it to those Luoyang soldiers and civilians who don't know the inside story, because the military achievements of your younger brother in this battle are obvious to all, if you don't reward them, the rewards and punishments are unknown!" ”

"Hey, hey! It seems that Han Yang is still a person who understands! Emperor Ling smiled slightly: "So you and I still need to stage a big drama of three letters and three words!" ”

"Yes!" Nanying replied with a bitter face.

"By the way, how do you plan to settle Liu Tao?" Emperor Ling suddenly felt stunned: "This time I owe him, you can take good care of him for me!" ”

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will let him live in peace in the mountains for the rest of his life!" Nanying smiled: "I will never let this person jump out and cause trouble again!" ”

"It's the deep mountain dock you talked about last time, right?" Emperor Ling couldn't help but be fascinated: "It seems that this Liu Tao has been blessed by misfortune, and he will no longer be troubled by the world!" ”

"Your Majesty, I wonder what the second thing is?" Nan Ying looked at Emperor Ling's distracted face, knowing that he thought of the "hometown" he was talking about again, and hurriedly diverted the topic.

"Ahh Emperor Ling woke up from his contemplation and said with a smile: "As an imperial uncle, you are really responsible for ignoring the academic conduct of your two nephews!" I will punish you for teaching them for ten days! ”

"What?" Nan Ying screamed: "How can the younger brother know the way of teaching? ”
