Walking out of Wu Kui's Xiangguo Mansion, Chen Ziyou immediately noticed that something was wrong.

Chen Ziyou served in the army during the old civilization, and although he was not a scout, it did not prevent him from having a certain sense of anti-reconnaissance.

Chen Ziyou frowned and didn't look back.

Is it Wu Kui's people?

Chen Ziyou walked to the street, stopped at a jewelry shop, and chatted with the shopkeeper as if he was choosing accessories.

The shopkeeper of the jewelry shop is a lady, and she greeted Chen Ziyou very warmly: "Eh, boy, do you want to buy jewelry for the girl you like?" ”

Chen Ziyou smiled lightly and said, "I bought it for my sister, I just arrived in Daliang not long ago, and I wanted to pick up some gifts to bring back to her." ”

The eldest lady nodded respectfully, picked an object, and said, "Do you think this is okay?" A lot of little girls like it. ”

Chen Ziyou nodded carelessly, took the earrings in the eldest mother's hand, and skimmed the corner of his eyes to a suspicious person in black clothes behind him.

Track me? The corners of Chen Ziyou's mouth twitched, he took out a few taels of silver from his pocket, handed it to the eldest lady, and said, "No need to look for it." ”

The eldest lady nodded happily, Chen Ziyou picked up the earrings and turned around and left.

The man in gray hurriedly followed, and after turning a few streets, he felt more and more that something was wrong.

Isn't that the way to the palace? The man in black frowned and watched Chen Ziyou walk into the palace, but it was not easy to follow him anymore, the palace was heavily guarded, and it was very likely to be discovered by the patrolling guards.

The man in black stopped and thought for a while, then stopped following Chen Ziyou, turned around and left.

And Chen Ziyou actually did not continue to walk towards the palace, but hid in the dark, seeing that the man in black was gone, he walked out of the palace again and followed.

Tossing and turning all the way, to Chen Ziyou's surprise, the man in black did not return to Wu Kui's mansion.

Chen Ziyou looked up at the two big characters of Xu Mansion in front of him, and fell into confusion. If he remembered correctly, this was the mansion of Xu Zheng, the general of the garrison at the head of the Great Liang City.

There are three armies in Daliang City, one is the forbidden army in the palace, which is responsible for defending the palace, one is the officers and soldiers of the government, mainly responsible for maintaining law and order in the city, and the last is the garrison at the head of the city, which is responsible for guarding the city gate and the deployment of the head of the city. Among these three troops, the strongest combat effectiveness was originally the forbidden army in the palace, but the Great Wei Dynasty had no war for a long time, and the Great Liang was the capital of the old Jin Dynasty, and it had almost never been broken in history, so over time, the forbidden army that was supposed to maintain combat effectiveness to defend the palace has become more and more neglected in recent years, and many of the children of the ministers are thinking that the qualifications of serving in the forbidden army will one day be able to lead the troops outside, which has led to more and more children in the forbidden army. Not to mention the officers and men of the government office, they have not undergone much training, and their usual task is only to patrol the streets to maintain law and order, and their combat effectiveness is not high. Therefore, in fact, among the three troops in Daliang City, the highest combat effectiveness is the garrison at the head of the city, and the combat experience is not to mention for the time being, at least the training has never been left behind.

Chen Ziyou was curious about the purpose of the gray-clothed man coming here, and according to his speculation, Xu Zheng should not send someone to follow him.

The man in gray avoided the house slave in front of the Xu Mansion, found a hidden corner and jumped over, and Chen Ziyou hurriedly followed.

Xu Zheng did not go to patrol the city today, but read the book of soldiers in the study, which was written by Pang Longjia, the representative of the military family when a hundred schools of thought were contending a hundred years ago.

Xu Zheng sighed when he read the chapter on geography and climate, people who practice martial arts always hope that one day they can make contributions to the country, expand their territory for the country, and defend the country no matter how bad it is, Xu Zheng is the leader of the garrison at the head of the city of Daliang, but he is not satisfied with the fat difference in the eyes of outsiders. Sometimes, he was envious of the generals on the border.

He has been practicing martial arts for 30 years and reading military books for 20 years, but he has no place to use it. If it weren't for the old and the young in the family, Xu Zheng might have given up his official position and gone to the border to be a pawn.

Thinking of the little one in the family, Xu Zheng's face was a little gloomy, Xu Zheng's only son, Xu Liang, was originally pinned on by him, thinking that he would first sharpen his skills in the forbidden army for a few years, and then send him to the border with the relationship, with the qualifications of the forbidden army and Xu Zheng's relationship, he could at least start as a centurion. But Xu Liang may have grown up in the prosperous Daliang since he was a child, pampered and pampered, and he was not at ease in the forbidden army, and he mixed with some gentlemen every day, and there was a big incident last year. If it weren't for Xu Zheng's maneuvering and spending some money, he would have suppressed this matter and not been stabbed into the palace by some officials. Xu Zheng himself is as good as his name, honest and upright, and he doesn't disdain to follow Wu Kui, who is in the sky, to form a party for personal gain, but the son named Liang is completely crooked. The upper beam is positive, and the lower beam is crooked.

"What people!" Xu Zheng was startled by a slight sound and shouted in a deep voice.

A young man in black clothes came out of the shadows and smiled, "General Xu has good ears. ”

Xu Zheng put down the military book in his hand and held the saber on the side.

The man in black hurriedly waved and said, "General Xu, don't be impulsive, the villain is here to send a letter to General Xu." ”

After that, the man in black took out a letter from his arms and threw it to Xu Zheng.

Xu Zheng took it from the air, opened the letter carefully, and the more he read it, the more gloomy his face became. What is written on it is how his son Xu Liang visited the Qinglou at night and persecuted the woman to death, and then how Xu Zheng went around in many ways, and he didn't even miss a detail.

Xu Zheng put down the letter, raised his head, looked at the man in black deeply, and said, "You are Wu Kui's person?" ”

The man in black nodded and said softly: "General Xu is really powerful, you can guess the identity of the villain at once." Lord Wu Kui also asked the villain to bring a sentence here. ”

Xu Zheng asked, "What words?" ”

The man in black put away his smile and slowly spit out eight words seriously: "Those who follow me prosper, and those who go against me die!" ”

Xu Zheng took a deep breath suddenly, then slapped the table vigorously, and said angrily: "What a big breath, Wu Kui really thinks that no one can cure him?" The child is ignorant, he makes a big mistake, it affects the whole family, it is a big deal, one life is worth one life, Xu Zheng does not want this official uniform, and he will never be in the same league with Wu Kui and these chaotic parties! ”

The man in black saw that Xu Zheng lost his temper, but he was not in a hurry, but continued: "Lord Liu of the Mansion was once a protégé of Wu Xiang, whether one life is worth one life, or the whole family is exiled to the border, it is not Lord Xu's decision. ”

Xu Zheng was stunned, and then sat down dejectedly, his eyes becoming dazed.

The man in black continued: "Wu Xiang knows that Lord Xu has been honest and upright all his life, and your son is just young and ignorant, and Wu Xiang also has the heart to help Lord Xu cover up this matter. I also hope that Lord Xu will think carefully, it doesn't matter if his black yarn falls off, don't affect his family. ”

Xu Zheng lowered his head dejectedly, he was filial, and there was an old mother at home, if he was really exiled to the whole family, he didn't care about himself, how could the old mother endure this suffering?

After a long time, Xu Zheng spoke: "What does Wu Kui want me to do?" ”

The man in black smiled: "Wu Xiang knows that Lord Xu has an important position, and the garrison at the head of the city must always pay attention to the situation around the beam, and at that time, I only hope that Lord Xu will be responsible for the city well, and I won't bother to ask what happens in the city." ”

Xu Zheng raised his head and said bitterly: "Wu Kui....... Do you really want to be opposed? ”

The man in black's face became gloomy: "Lord Xu, trouble comes from the mouth." ”

Xu Zheng shook his head helplessly, and said tremblingly: "I understand." ”

The man in black nodded in satisfaction, didn't stop long, and turned to leave.

Xu Zheng in the study was full of frustration, slumped in the chair in a decadent manner, and stared at the letter in front of him with empty eyes.

So much so that when Chen Ziyou walked up to him and buttoned the desk, Xu Zheng reacted that there was a third person in the house.
