Chapter 441: Great Qin's Last Hope

The day after the day when the child finally made a choice, it was also the day that the child could be able to repeat it, the rain and snow were wet for many days in the Guanzhong area suddenly cleared, and the three-legged golden crow that had not been seen for several days drilled out of the gray clouds, generously shining the bright sunshine on the land of Guanzhong, although the temperature was still very low in the depths of winter, but it also made people feel refreshed.

On this day, before half of the morning was over, Chen Zongzheng, who was almost equal to the idle Han Army Yuefu Order, had already completed all the official duties of the day, and had nothing to do as usual, seeing that he was bored, his subordinates kindly suggested that he summon the only dance team in the Han Army Yuefu to practice dancing, not only to pass the time, but also to check the usual practice of the dancers by the way - of course, to appreciate the graceful posture and beautiful faces of the dancers.

It's really boring, and he doesn't want to be a thief of rice worms completely, Chen Zongzheng wanted to agree for a while, but after thinking about it, Chen Zongzheng shook his head and said: "Another day, this official has some things at home today, I want to go back first, and then rehearse the dance another day." ”

Of course Chen Zongzheng didn't tell the truth, there was nothing in his family that he needed to go back to deal with personally, Chen Zongzheng just suddenly remembered that today happened to be the day when Ziying was able to go out to the medicine market to personally purchase drugs and exchange medical skills with folk medical workers, and he hadn't seen the last Qin prince and baby he missed all the time for a long time, so Chen Zongzheng made a temporary decision to go and peek at the real Lord of Great Qin in his mind from a distance.

Yuefu is Xiang Kang's Qingshui Yamen reserved for perfunctory etiquette and collection and preservation of folk music, because it is not important enough, in order to save money and food expenses, Xiang Kang simply did not even set up the position of Yuefu Cheng, as the Yuefu Order, of course, can be the master of this acre and three points of land, so Chen Zongzheng just ordered to arrange the work at will, and then went home to change civilian clothes first, tried to do some makeup, and led a trustworthy servant of his own to wait in the market where he met Ziying last time.

…………

"Ouch, it's so boring."

It also happened that when Chen Zongzheng went out to the market, at the home of Zhang Ping, the general of the Han Army, the de facto uncle Zhang Zhi first stretched his waist and let out a boring complaint, and then smacked his lips and calculated, "I don't have an errand today, where can I go to pass the time?" Shooting? It's almost noon, and I can't go and play for long. Do you want to go to a brothel to play around? It's too early, if the old man knows, he will be scolded again, forget it. ”

While pondering, Zhang Zhi's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that today happened to be the day when the baby could go out, and immediately gave birth to such an idea, and said secretly: "Why don't you go and take a look quietly?" If I have the opportunity to catch the true evidence of that traitor, my son can not only make a great contribution, but also disclose my identity in the future. ”

With this thought, Zhang Zhi, who was anxious to make meritorious service and show his loyalty, did not hesitate, immediately changed into the clothes of ordinary people, found an excuse to go out alone, and rushed to the largest drug market in Xianyang that Ziying must go to every time he went out without asking for his boss.

…………

Let's take a look at the situation on Chen Zongzheng's side, when he arrived at the destination smoothly, because the weather suddenly improved, the largest medicine market in Xianyang was obviously more lively than usual, and you can see pharmacists from all over Guanzhong buying and selling medicine in the market, the hawkers' shouting is endless, and all kinds of conversational sounds can be heard everywhere, affected by the temperature, some traders also built many bonfires in the market to keep warm, and in order to save trouble, some herbal residues that cannot be sold are also poured into the fire. The market that is already full of medicinal smell is even more pungent in the smell of herbs.

Having learned the lesson of the last time, Chen Zongzheng first deliberately bought some wolfberries from the medicine company, as well as jujubes that can be seasoned or hungry, and pretended to be here to buy medicine, and then found a bunch of bonfires in the market at random, and stood next to them while roasting the fire to keep warm, while patiently waiting for the arrival of the child.

During this period, of course, Chen Zongzheng also paid attention to the mysterious drug stall he discovered before, or after seeing that everything was as it was before, and the stall owner was still the same person, Chen Zongzheng was relieved to know that the channel between Ziying and the outside world had not been discovered by the Han army, and it was still operating normally.

"Be careful, although I don't know who you are, but for the sake of the king, you must be careful and take care, and you must not let the traitor find you."

When Chen Zongzheng was secretly saying these words in his heart, he suddenly saw a vaguely familiar figure in the corner of his eye, and when he looked at the person's appearance carefully, Chen Zongzheng not only quickly lowered his head, but also turned his back to the person slightly, because Chen Zongzheng had clearly recognized that the figure was not someone else, it was Zhang Zhizhang Gongzi, who had pestered and tested him twice before, and he was afraid of being entangled by the ill-intentioned Zhang Zhi, of course Chen Zongzheng did not want to meet him.

In addition, Chen Zongzheng was still a little strange in his heart, and said secretly: "Why is he here again?" The last time he came here to look for me, what is he doing this time? Does he know I'm here? ”

Fortunately, there are many people next to the fire, pedestrians are constantly coming and going, Zhang Zhi doesn't seem to notice Chen Zongzheng's arrival, looking around and gradually walking into the depths of the market, Chen Zongzheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to take the opportunity to stay away from Zhang Zhi, but when the footsteps just moved, Chen Zongzheng felt that it was inappropriate, and secretly calculated: "No, today is the day when the king goes out, and this ill-intentioned little vertical man deliberately dressed like this to come here, if it is not for the king, if I don't guard against him, if something happens to this little vertical, I'm afraid it will be bad for the king. ”

It was still a coincidence, Chen Zongzheng's eyes moved, and he happened to see the confidant servant he brought, and what was even more coincidental was that this servant happened to be the servant that Chen Zongzheng brought here to meet Zhang Zhi last time, and it was very unlikely that Zhang Zhi would recognize him, Chen Zongzheng was secretly happy in his heart, and hurriedly attached himself to the servant's ear, pointing to Zhang Zhi's back and whispering: "You go and follow that person, see what he does here, and if you find anything, come and report to me immediately." I'll be waiting for you in a moment at the southwest corner of the market. Remember, be careful not to be caught by him. ”

The servant agreed, and hurriedly followed Zhang Zhi quietly, and Chen Zongzheng waited patiently until Zhang Zhi walked away, and then turned his back to him and walked to the southwest corner of the market, while continuing to lurk in the crowd, while waiting for the servant to come back and the child to arrive.

Zhang Zhi's side, although he also received some training in fine eyeliner, but because this time he didn't go out and contact the upline, he didn't need to be afraid of being followed and discovered, Zhang Zhi's vigilance was naturally greatly reduced, so he didn't find that he had been quietly followed, and he just scurried around in the crowd, looking for the child who might have arrived in advance, and other suspicious situations.

Not to mention, Zhang Zhi really gained something, and when he was turning around at will, Zhang Zhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he inadvertently saw a colleague he had seen beside Dong Shu, and hurriedly greeted him, and said, "Brother Fan, what a coincidence, you also came here to buy medicine?" ”

The colleague who was called Brother Fan by Zhang Zhi turned his head, and when he saw Zhang Zhihou, his face changed slightly, and then he immediately pretended to smile kindly, and said, "Brother Wang, it's you, hurry up, follow me, and take you to see the medicine." ”

After that, Brother Fan picked up Zhang Zhi and walked to a crowded place, and then after walking to the side of an unattended ox cart, Brother Fan asked in a low voice in a very angry voice: "Why are you here?" I remember, Dong Lingjun didn't ask you to participate in this operation? ”

"You didn't call me, I came by myself." Zhang Zhi replied with a hippie smile: "I'm bored, and I know that today is the day when the traitor goes out, so I came over to take a look and see if there were any unexpected discoveries." ”

"Zhang Gongzi, please be a villain, go back quickly." Brother Fan hurriedly said: "Our actions today are very crucial, and you are the person responsible for coming forward to contact the traitor, if the traitor recognizes you, we will lose all our efforts if we don't do it well." ”

"No, it won't." After all, Zhang Zhi didn't have much experience, so he said casually: "The traitor knows me on Wang Ming's side, and I have confirmed it, but he didn't come." ”

"Zhang Gongzi, the villain begs you, don't spoil our big thing." Brother Fan's voice raised a little under his anger, and said: "Wang Ming's puppet knows you, which means that all the tyrant Qin remnants on his side know you, do you dare to guarantee that you will not be discovered by their people?" Also, there are so many people in the market, do you dare to guarantee that Wang Mingpifu is really not ......, don't talk! ”

When he said this, Brother Fan suddenly stopped, and while asking Zhang Zhi to close his mouth, he turned back with great vigilance to look at a stranger who suddenly approached him and Zhang Zhi, and fortunately, the stranger just walked past him and Zhang Zhi, and was still carrying two bags of medicinal materials wrapped in dried lotus leaves, Brother Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly whispered to Zhang Zhi: "Have you seen this person?" ”

After recalling it carefully, and finding that there was no impression, Zhang Zhi shook his head, and Brother Fan breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued: "Zhang Gongzi, please, go back quickly, don't miss our big event today." ”

Seeing Brother Fan's repeated urging, Zhang Zhi was helpless, so he had to nod and agree, but just when Zhang Zhi was about to leave, there was a crowd in front of the market, and Brother Fan and Zhang Zhi were very familiar with the carriage happened to come to this market. ”

Zhang Zhi nodded hurriedly, and really found a medicine stall to spoil Xiang Kang's money for him, and Brother Fan also hurriedly returned to his work, complaining in a low voice that Zhang Zhi was inexperienced, and carefully paid attention to Ziying and the others' every move.

At this time, Ziying had also stepped out of the carriage under the support of Han Tan, and set foot on the land of Xianyang, which once belonged to him entirely, and Yuan Zhan, the former Qin court clown who voluntarily followed Ziying to live in seclusion, was also the same as before, as soon as he entered the market, he performed all kinds of juggling and ridiculous actions to sensationalize, and unlike the previous times, in order to hide people's eyes, Ziying also specially brought his own doctor Shu Wen to the medicine market this time, and asked him to accompany him to select medicinal materials and ask folk medical workers for medical skills.

At this moment, of course, countless pairs of eyes were focused on Ziying and his party, Chen Zongzheng immediately blurred his eyes with tears, and when he was too excited, Chen Zongzheng even forgot that he was waiting for the reply of the servant who was following Zhang Zhi here, and subconsciously walked towards the direction where Ziying and the others were, wanting to see Ziying's current appearance at a closer distance.

Ziying's expression was also as gentle and generous as before, leading Shu Wen, who was proficient in medical skills, to walk around at will in the market to see medicine, while talking and laughing and discussing more medical skills with Shu Wen, and several entourages arranged by the Han army to him also followed suit, carefully following him on his left and right, and Yuan Zhan, who was laughing and eating by juggling, was responsible for attracting attention as usual, and covering the existence of Han Tan, who had been silent, with Ziying.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Ziying and the others certainly did not rush to approach the mysterious medicine stall, and intentionally or unintentionally tried to avoid approaching the mysterious medicine stall too early, so Chen Zongzheng was able to hide in the crowd, wiping the corners of his eyes and quietly peeking at Ziying, and kept calling in his heart as he did last time, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is here, Your Majesty is here!" Your Majesty persuaded you to surrender, it was really not Your Majesty who betrayed the Lord for glory, but His Majesty did it in order to let you save your life and keep the opportunity to make a comeback! ”

It was still a coincidence, quietly following Ziying and the others to walk around at will, Chen Zongzheng was once again behind a canopy medicine stall, and suddenly saw Zhang Zhi's familiar face, and when he hurriedly lowered his head, Chen Zongzheng also suddenly remembered what happened before, and said secretly: "Oh no, why did I forget to send someone to follow him?" ”

Thinking of this, he noticed that his servant was not by Zhang Zhi's side, and at the same time was afraid that Zhang Zhi would find out if he was too close, Chen Zongzheng could only quickly and quietly sneak back to the position agreed with the servant, but when he arrived at the southwest corner of the market, the servant was really already looking around there, and when he saw Chen Zongzheng finally coming back, the servant hurriedly greeted him and whispered: "My lord, you went there, so that the villain is easy to find." ”

"I just walked away with something." Chen Zongzheng replied casually, and asked casually, "Have you found anything?" ”

"My lord, that man and another man met by chance in the market, and ran away to a place where no one was talking alone." The servant replied in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Chen Zongzheng hurriedly asked.

"It's too far away, and they're too careful to hear the details." The servant replied truthfully: "The villain just vaguely heard what they scolded Wang Ming, as if there were still the words of tyrannical Qin Yu, and then the villain was discovered by them, but fortunately, the villain walked away immediately, and they should not have been aware of the deliberate eavesdropping." ”

"Wang Mingpifu? Tyrannical remnants?! Chen Zongzheng's surprise was not trivial, and he hurriedly asked: "Confirm that you heard correctly, are they really scolding Wang Mingpifu?" Tyrannical remnants? ”

"Lord Hui, I should have heard you right." The servant replied, "The villain has heard these words clearly." ”

"Why?" Chen Zongzheng was completely stunned, and exclaimed in his heart: "Zhang Zhixiaozi, why are you scolding Brother Wang for being a puppet?" Why would he be like a traitor outside the gate, scolding the remnants of the tyrannical Qin? Didn't this little vertical say last time that he was a Guanzhong Qin man who had not forgotten Great Qin, and he also knew many hot-blooded Qin people who wanted to help the Great King restore the country? Why do you still say such things? Also, why did they scold Wang Ming and Wang Yucheng for no reason? ”

recalled the before and after Zhang Zhi entangled himself twice before, and remembered that Wang Ming was like himself last time, he received the news in advance to wait for Ziying, and Wang Ming was absolutely loyal to Ziying, Chen Zongzheng couldn't help but feel like falling into an ice cellar. Then, almost subconsciously, Chen Zongzheng instructed his servant again: "Tell me carefully about your tracking of him, the more detailed the better." ”

The servant agreed, and quickly recalled that he had followed Zhang Zhi and told Chen Zongzheng carefully, and when he said that Brother Fan called Zhang Zhi Brother Wang, Chen Zongzheng quickly interrupted him and asked, "Did you hear clearly, that strange man is calling him Brother Wang?" ”

"My lord, I heard you clearly, the man said very loudly, and the little one will definitely not be mistaken." The servant replied confidently.

"His surname is Zhang, why does that person call him Brother Wang?"

Chen Zongzheng's heart was even more suspicious, and then thought of the fact that the Han army might also send eyeliner to secretly spy on Ziying and others, Chen Zongzheng's heart was naturally even more drumming, and he said secretly: "If this person is the eyeliner of the Han thief, and Zhang Zhi's little vertical son is still scolding him for some tyrannical Qin remnants, doesn't that mean that Zhang Zhi, this little vertical man, is actually also a Han thief?" If this is the case, Zhang Zhixiao came to instigate me to restore the country twice before, and asked me to introduce people who can get in touch with the king, just ......, it is likely to be a trap! ”

After reasoning with various details and coming to this dangerous conclusion, Chen Zongzheng not only trembled slightly all over his body, but immediately said in his heart: "No, no matter what kind of risk I take, I will warn the king and remind the king to guard against this little shaft!" Otherwise, not only will none of our loyal ministers of Great Qin be able to escape, but the king himself will also be implicated! ”

Chen Zongzheng also had this opportunity to warn Ziying and the others in advance, and when he returned to the vicinity where Ziying and his party were, it happened that Ziying and the others had already walked to the vicinity of the mysterious medicine stall, taking advantage of the opportunity of Ziying holding a rare herb to ask Shu Wen about the pharmacology of the medicine, Han Tan, who was wearing civilian clothes, quietly left Ziying and the others, and approached the mysterious medicine stall intentionally or unintentionally......

"Chance!" Chen Zongzheng was overjoyed in his heart, and said secretly: "Han Zhongling can definitely be trusted, and he must know the true situation of the king, as long as I tell him the situation, he will definitely understand immediately!" ”

Chen Zongzheng was not the only one who noticed Han Tan, in the middle of the crowd hiding in Tibet, Zhang Zhi happened to come to this area, and he was very alert to notice Han Tan who quietly left Ziying's side, even if he didn't know Han Tan, he immediately became suspicious, and said secretly: "Look at the clothes, this puppet should not be from our Han Army, what does he want to do when he deliberately goes away?" ”
