As soon as Nanying's words came out, the audience was shocked.

Liu Gongzi looked up to the sky and smiled: "What a seven-trick heart!" Not bad! I'm Liu Hong! ”

Although Nan Ying's conjecture about himself is nine out of ten, but when he heard him confess his identity, he still felt a stir in his heart, is this person in front of him really Liu Hong, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty who has been passed down through the ages in the name of mediocrity and incompetence! Nan Ying gave birth to a feeling of unreality.

Zhang Jiezheng hurriedly walked into the hospital with a knife, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel soft under his feet, and "Porphy" fell to the ground.

Jia Xu and Ma Jun glanced at each other and bowed down. Gao Gao'er and Zheng Lian were stunned on the spot, at a loss, and were hesitating whether to salute or not.

Liu Hong's gentle voice had already sounded: "Get up, what kind of red tape are you talking about at this time?" If I and you get out of danger today, it will not be too late to perform the etiquette of kings and ministers! ”

Zhang Jie propped up his body, and said expectantly: "You are really a saint today?" ”

A cold voice behind him whispered, "What a gut! Licentious! ”

The sound of killing outside the courtyard gradually stopped, and Mr. Zhang slowly walked into the door, and said: "You are a little tooth general, you dare to speak offensively, just one sentence is a capital crime!" ”

Saying that, he didn't look at Zhang Jie, who was so frightened that his face was blue and his lips were white, he knelt down on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Liang, Zhang Bao and other Taiping Dao rebels have been killed and retreated, and the minister Zhang Feng is not effective in protecting him, so he bows his head and asks for guilt!" ”

Liu Hong raised his hand and said, "It's not your sin, get up!" ”

Turning to Nanying and said: "Brother Xian, let's see it again, this is Zhang Feng, the son of Zhang Rang, the middle servant, and now lives in the position of Taiyi Ling!" ”

Nan Ying smiled bitterly: "Hello Lord Zhang! But please don't cure me for my offense! You also heard it, it was His Majesty Chrysostom who called me my brother, not the people themselves! ”

Liu Hong and Zhang Feng laughed dumbly together, Liu Hong muttered: "Brother Xian, you come from outside the territory, naturally you are not used to the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, but this kneeling ceremony is customized by the ancestors, and it is easy to avoid it, so I will allow you to be above the court, and you and I are still brothers!" ”

Nanying doesn't think anything about it, but Zhang Feng and Jia Xu know the importance and are commensurate with the emperor's brothers, what a grace this is! They couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

Nan Ying didn't care in his heart, in history, Emperor Ling even called Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong his parents, is it rare to call me a virtuous brother? Anyway, you and I will part ways sooner or later, and Lao Tzu won't enter the court, and there will only be gratitude in his mouth.

Liu Hong seemed to see through his thoughts and said, "Brother Xian won't forget his agreement with me, right?" Today is the time to return to the imperial capital, I want to praise you and Zhang Ji for your work in driving out the plague, and secondly, I want to reward all the meritorious ministers who have escorted today. ”

A hint of urgency suddenly flashed in his eyes: "Perhaps, you are still my elder!" ”

Nanying gave birth to the feeling of being controlled by others for the first time, although the Spirit Emperor was extremely kind to him, and he had a few great achievements, but as the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and there are too many secrets on his body, so he still smeared oil on the soles of his feet as soon as possible, and he was trying to excuse himself with an excuse to travel the world and cure diseases and save people.

Suddenly, someone pulled him lightly behind him, and he was surprised to see it, but it was Jia Xu, seeing that he nodded lightly unconsciously, he had to swallow back the words full of words.

Nan Ying suddenly remembered something, and said suspiciously: "Your Majesty, although the plague is gradually resolving today, there are still many places along the way that are in the midst of a serious epidemic, how can you, as the Son of Heaven, be so dangerous?" In case you get ......"

Emperor Ling smiled and said: "According to your and Zhang Ji's prescriptions, there have been many cured cases in Luoyang City, and it has been proved that although the prescription is slow to solve the epidemic, the effect of prevention is excellent, I have already taken it in advance, so why worry?" ”

The killing outside the hospital has stopped, and Dan Chenzi and Gao Shun are entering the hospital side by side.

Dan Chenzi bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, although the thieves have all been dispersed, you can't stay here for a long time, please return quickly!" ”

Nanying saw Gao Shun kneeling down and saluting without surprise, and knew that Dan Chenzi must have informed him before he was admitted to the hospital.

A trace of anger appeared on the Spirit Emperor's delicate face: "Hmph! The Taiping Dao thief dared to openly do such a thing, it was really a wolf's ambition, and it was clearly revealed! Who is the leader? ”

Dan Chenzi said ashamedly: "Poor Dao only knows Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, and there is another master who fights with Gao Shun, although Poor Dao doesn't know, but look at his kung fu, I am afraid that his status is not worse than Zhang Bao's brothers!" ”

Emperor Ling snorted coldly, "How many bandit leaders have you taken? ”

Dan Chenzi and Zhang Fengjun looked ashamed, lowered their heads and said: "It's because I'm incompetent, and I haven't taken down anyone!" ”

"However," Dan Chenzi hesitated slightly, "this Taiping Dao can also be regarded as a heavy number of casualties, and only the Qu Shuai-level master has lost twelve people!" ”

Emperor Ling finally smiled: "Well done!" The thirty-six party commanders are all the leaders of one side, each blocking one side alone, but today there are thirty percent folded here! Hum! I see how he turned his horns into this! ”

Nanying's scalp tingled when he heard this, is this really the faint monarch in history? He knows everything about Taiping! For the first time, he became suspicious of Tang Zhou's whistleblowing.

Danchenzi's head hung lower: "Your Majesty, the poor road does not dare to take credit, among the twelve bandit leaders, eight were killed by Mr. Nan himself, two were killed by Gao Shun, and Zhang Feng and I only killed one person each!" ”

Everyone lost their voices in unison: "What! ”

Nan Ying shouted bad things in his heart, and he didn't bother to explain, completely ignoring everyone's monster-like eyes.

The Spirit Emperor looked at Nanying's gaze as if there was something more, and said heavily: "Okay! Good! ”

Zhang Jie finally came to his senses, and kowtowed again and again: "The last general has no way to defend it, causing the Son of Heaven to commit danger, and it is difficult to redeem death. ”

Seeing that Emperor Ling was silent, Zhang Feng glared and said, "Your name is Zhang Jie!" Don't hurry up and gather your subordinates, and immediately serve Your Majesty! ”

Zhang Jie was overjoyed, and after thanking him, he rushed out to transfer troops and send generals.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Jie's subordinates said that there were hundreds of people, Yiyang was only three days away from Luoyang, and Taiping Road was defeated by this, and it was difficult to make a difference in a short period of time, and there should be no problem in terms of safety.

Suddenly, Jia Xu said in a deep voice: "Xiaomin is brave, please ask the Son of Heaven to start driving immediately, you don't have to go with the brigade!" ”

Everyone was stunned, Emperor Ling squinted his eyes and stared at Jia Xu, and only said after a while: "Mr. Jia, although I have known you for a very short time, I also know that you are very wise, you suggest that I get out of the escort of the brigade, I guess there must be a deep meaning!" ”

Jia Xu suddenly kowtowed and said, "Then please forgive the grass people for the sin of false words!" ”

The Spirit Emperor smiled and said, "Speaking of which, I don't blame you!" ”

Jia Xu looked at Dan Chenzi and the others, gritted his teeth and said: "The Son of Heaven travels in micro-suits, what a secret thing this is!" I don't want to be besieged in this small Yiyang City, judging from the scale and thoroughness of this assassination, the grass people risked their lives to speculate that if it wasn't for the leakage of secrets by the people accompanying them, it would be someone in the court who secretly communicated with the rebels, and if the Son of Heaven accompanied the team, it would be like raising fire and walking at night, and there would be danger! ”

Zhang Feng said angrily: "The surname is Jia, you are suspicious of us after a long time!" ”

Dan Chenzi was thoughtful and nodded slightly.

Jia Xu said unhurriedly: "My lord, I just use common sense." The Lord and the Taoist Commander fought today, forgetting life and death, and defeating strong enemies, so as to ensure the integrity of the Son of Heaven, which can be said to be a great contribution to the country! Who would dare to doubt you two? However, adults can't rule out the possibility of a traitor in the court, right? ”

Zhang Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, and turned his anger into joy and said: "Not bad! Not bad! It's not thoughtful! ”

Jia Xu smiled secretly and said solemnly: "There is one more thing, that old Mr. Wang has never been seen since the accident, will he?" ”

The Spirit Emperor suddenly smiled and said, "Impossible! It was I who sent him to protect Zhang Ji! Don't worry too much, sir, the people around me are all loyal and pure, even if someone leaks secrets, it will never be a few of them! I believe in them! The words were categorical, and the corners of Dan Chenzi and Zhang Feng's eyes were slightly wet, and they turned over and knelt down again.

Emperor Ling helped the two of them up, and said warmly: "I have understood Mr. Jia's intentions, but the only plan for today is like a golden cicada coming out of its shell." Mr. Nan and a few people escorted me to set off immediately in disguise, and one of the two of you will lead the team to slowly march towards the imperial capital after the brigade is gathered, attracting the attention of the thieves! Mr. Jia, I'm right, right? ”

Jia Xu said sincerely: "Your Majesty is wise! ”

Nan Ying suddenly interjected: "Wait, this move is still inappropriate, I still have a plan!" ”

Everyone looked at him in amazement.

The small city of Yiyang began to operate at full speed like a clockwork machine. Groups of city guards in armor quickly drove to the northern camp near the courtyard to concentrate, and all the soldiers were strictly ordered not to talk; The county officials poured out of the nest and were responsible for collecting the corpses in the city, compensating the dead and wounded soldiers and civilians, and enforcing the street ban. The people in the city didn't know why, but when they saw the soldiers standing in a forest, they were all silent, hiding at home and not daring to go out.

At this time, the four gates of Yiyang City were quietly opened, and dozens of knights galloped out of each horse, all of them were pitch-black, hats pressed their eyebrows, and galloped away in the direction of Luoyang.

Emperor Ling and Nanying rode horses in parallel, and praised: "Brother Xian's plan is wonderful, not only there are two ways of light and dark, but also there is a distinction between virtual and real, I expect that the Taiping Dao thief has just been frustrated, and his strength has been greatly damaged, and he is unable to attack all walks of life at the same time, only secretly detected, but when they break through the fog, I am afraid that I will already sit on the Golden Palace and plan a strategy to break the thief!" ”

Nan Ying smiled bitterly: "It's lucky, fortunately, the cavalry sent out by the city to deliver the message a while ago has returned, otherwise we wouldn't even be able to get together a horse!" ”

Emperor Ling looked sideways at Nanying, and said with blazing eyes: "Virtuous brother! Although I have known you for a short time, you have all the skills, both civil and military, and even made miraculous achievements, and the Jiangshan Sheji of the Han Dynasty needs talents like you very much! Do you want to be a leader? ”

Nan Ying felt helpless from the depths of his heart, if it was before, he would have refused without hesitation, but before leaving the city, Jia Xu pulled him aside, and a quiet conversation made him feel hesitant, and the conversation between the two seemed to ring in his ears again.

"According to the plan of the lord, our troops will be divided into four ways this time, and return to Luoyang by separate routes, halfway through, Your Majesty will definitely invite the lord to enter the court, and the lord must not push back!"

"Why? Lao Jia, what is your idea? I wanted to decline the emperor's invitation to return to Luoyang with me, but you stopped me! ”

"My lord, please think, how glorious it is for the Son of Heaven to recognize you as a brother? Besides, the lord has great merit, and the Son of Heaven will definitely be treated by high-ranking officials, so what's wrong with this? The subordinates can also attain the Tao alone, and the chicken and dog will ascend to heaven! The lord will not think about the future of his subordinates, right? ”

"You don't come to this set! You know what kind of person I am, what I am most afraid of is being managed, I also know who you are, it is good to like fame, but it will never be this time! ”

“”

"What are you thinking? Say it quickly, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face, you and I will scatter, I will recommend you to the Son of Heaven as an official, and my eldest brother and I will go back to the Eagle's Nest and be happy! ”

"Don't! What are you anxious about! I said yes! The answer is the word Eagle's Nest! ”

"What do you mean? Fuck, don't say it, I'm really mad! ”

"Lord! Your original plan was to wait for the chaos together, take advantage of the court's inability to look westward, take the eagle's nest as the foundation, gradually control Hanzhong, and then map Xichuan! Whether? ”

"Not bad! But what does this have to do with me? ”

"Naturally, it has a lot to do with it!"

"Oh! Tell me it! ”

"The lord has three benefits, one is to establish a stronghold in the imperial capital, make friends with the powerful, and form an echo with the eagle's nest. The second is that after the battle of Yiyang, we have completely torn our faces with the Taiping Dao and the Heavenly Master Dao, and there is no room for maneuver, only with the help of the power of the court to eradicate these two forces as soon as possible to prevent future troubles. The lord can ask the Son of Heaven for his life, lead the army to the east to conquer Zhang Jiao, and order Cheng Yu to lead the eagle's nest to destroy Zhang Xiu in the west, and at the same time cut the grass and eradicate the roots; Third, when the time is ripe, the lord can ask the Son of Heaven to crown you as the Taishou of Hanzhong, or even the history of Yizhou Assassination, at that time, we can achieve our original goal without losing a single soldier, better than letting our own soldiers fight back with a knife and a shot, right? ”

"Alright! I admit it, your eloquence is very good, your ideas are very good, I am very impressed! ”

"So, the lord agreed?"

"You said it very well! But my experience has taught me that the results are often sad! Do you think that the capital of the emperor, the side of the Son of Heaven, and the hundred officials are so easy to mix? Although I don't understand politics, I also know that it is a wolf's den, and it eats people without spitting out bones! ”

"Hey! The lord has never frowned when he kills people and sets fires, but he is afraid to be an official? ”

"Alright! I also admit that I know a lot of things, but I don't know how to be an official! Giving up my strengths and trying things I haven't experienced will make me feel inappropriate! ”

"Okay, we have successfully established a good relationship with Zhang Feng and Dan Chenzi, Dan Chenzi is a master, although he has no official rank, but he has the reality of an emperor, Zhang Feng is even better, he is in the position of the imperial doctor, this is fine, but don't forget, his father is Zhang Rang, the actual controller of China and North Korea! With their support, our days will not be sad! Moreover, we also have one of our biggest backers, that is, the Son of Heaven! ”

“”

"Lord, you speak! Time is ticking, they're getting ready to get on their horses and get out of town, and we have to settle the matter! ”

"Lao Jia, no matter how smart you are, you will never be able to figure out these things in such a short time! Tell you the truth, did you recognize the Son of Heaven a few days ago? By the way, you have been an official in Luoyang before, you must have seen the Son of Heaven a long time ago! What a fool I am! I said, how did you catch ducks on the shelves at that time and force me to show off my knowledge! Not bad! You old boy must have been planning this for a long time, keeping me in the dark! Fuck, is Lao Tzu playing with you? Don't flash, I'm going to kill you! ”

"My lord spares his life! I really didn't recognize the Son of Heaven! Although I have been an official in Luoyang before, but the official is lowly, how can I have the opportunity to meet the saint? ”

"Dare to lie! The first time you saw me, you lied to me and said your name was Jia Ming! You've lied to you! I'll let you lie! ”

"Don't fight, I said, although I didn't have a face saint before, I have seen Zhang Feng, and I know that he is a close minister of the Son of Heaven, so I guessed"

"Fuck! You stop for Lao Tzu, don't run!"

"How? Brother Xian, you are a royal person, and it is also your duty to worry about me! The Spirit Emperor's bright gaze stayed on Nan Ying's face, and he said in an accentuated tone, "I can guarantee that I will not treat you badly!" ”

Nan Ying sighed in his heart, and the faces of countless Eagle's Nest brothers flashed in his mind, if Jia Xu's plan can let more of them live, everything is worth it! He made up his mind suddenly, bowed his head and said: "The Son of Heaven has a life, how dare the little people disobey, and they are willing to die for His Majesty!" ”

The Spirit Emperor's face was filled with a look of sincere joy, and he nodded, "Okay!" Virtuous brother, in the future, you will be called a subordinate brother in front of me! I don't want to hide it from you, so I am eager for you because some of your statements in the past few days have made me think of many things in the future, but I am afraid that it can only fall on you! ”

He suddenly sighed softly: "Although I am the Son of Heaven, there are some things that I can't do!" ”

Nan Ying couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty's Ninety-Five, naturally you can't do it yourself, but there are countless capable ministers in the court, why doesn't Your Majesty use them?" But from the grass to find the courtiers? ”

A hint of ridicule flashed on Emperor Ling's face: "There are countless capable ministers? Not bad! You'll see them all later! ”

He lowered his head and said in an inaudible voice: "If I really have countless capable ministers, will the Han world become what it is today?" ”

Nan Ying was shaken, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes.
