Chapter 59: Tell Your Identity and Send an Agent
After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaotian asked, "Shu'er, tell you something about me, do you want to know?" ”
"I want to know, as long as it's your business, I want to know everything!" He Shu'er replied.
Zhang Xiaotian pondered for a moment, "Shu'er, Xiao Tian is my pseudonym, my real name is Zhang Xiaotian, maybe you don't know, but the head of the He family and your father definitely know." ”
"What? My Xiao Lang is Zhang Xiaotian! He Shu'er was stunned when she heard this, her grandfather and father often mentioned this person in her ear,
Familiar with his various deeds, she dreamed that she would meet this hero who stood on the top of the sky for a while, but fate played a big joke on her,
sent this person to her side, and He Shuer cried with joy at this time.
"I'm going to tell my father and grandfather about Xiao Lang's true identity, so that they can also be happy." After thinking about it, he hurriedly got up and walked out of the secluded house and ran towards his grandfather and father's house.
Zhang Xiaotian told He Shu'er his true identity, in fact, he already knew that He Shu'er would definitely tell the head of the He family and He Miao to know.
Since the matter between him and Liu Mang and Dong Zhuo has reached this point, it is better to pierce this layer of window paper to increase their confidence in defecting to Cao Cao.
After a while, the head of the He family sent someone over to invite Zhang Xiaotian to the study. When I entered the study, I saw that my future father-in-law, mother-in-law, and He Bao were also there, so I sat on the floor.
At this time, the head of the He family smiled with satisfaction: "Xiaotian, you are so bitter for us to hide, if you didn't talk to Shu'er about your identity today, when would you want to hide it?"
"It's not that I want to hide anything, it's just that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong, and now I see that the time is ripe so I will tell you, but I also ask the head of the family and everyone to hide it for a while."
The more the head of the He family looked at this grandson-in-law, the more pleasing he became, so he told everyone not to reveal Zhang Xiaotian's identity, and then said:
"After He Bao returned, he reported in detail all the details of Xiaotian's trip to Pengcheng, and we were very pleased to hear it, Xiaotian, you are not only wise, courageous, and chivalrous, Shu'er has you as her son-in-law, that is really her blessing."
He Shu'er couldn't help but smile happily when she saw that this most picky grandfather praised the husband so much.
Then the head of the He family said: "In the past two days, we will choose a good day for you and Shu'er, and hold a wedding in secret, and those handmaids will be your concubines, do you have any opinions?" ”
Zhang Xiaotian got up at this time and kowtowed to thank him, He Shuer was ashamed and happy, and lowered her pretty face.
After sitting back at the seat, the head of the He family continued: "Liu Fen now plays a crucial role in our success or failure, only through her,
You can get in touch with Liu Xie's mother and son, fortunately she is obsessed with you, Xiaotian must make good use of this relationship. ”
"Grandpa! Sister Fen and Xiaotian really love each other. ”
"Little daughter's house! What do you know? ”
Zhang Xiaotian didn't want to argue with the head of the He family on this kind of thing at this time, and it was hard to blame him, because Liu Fen's reputation was so stinky that no one believed that she could end up from the beginning, and she was not even sure of herself.
Instead, the head of the He family said: "Last night, Dong Zhuo sent someone to send a message, inviting Xiaotian to his mansion for a banquet tonight, accompanied by Liu Mang, the guest in front of His Majesty, just such a battle, I'm afraid it's not just a banquet, but a Hongmen banquet." ”
Zhang Xiaotian frowned when he heard this: "Whether it is the Hongmen Banquet or not, this banquet must be attended, if you don't go, they will find an excuse, can I bring some people close to me to the banquet?" ”
"Of course! You are now the grandson-in-law of my He family, and you have made military achievements, your identity is not as good as in the past, and there are no generals with you, so what kind of system will you become. ”
"Xiaotian has always been unable to understand something, Your Majesty and Liu Mang and others are all surnamed Liu, whether they are all related by blood, why are they all such a mess, and they can even marry with the same surname?" Zhang Xiaotian asked.
The head of the He family looked at him in surprise and said, "I was confused by what you said, you people from the mountains and wilderness have never paid attention to blood
Relationship, why do you ask about this kind of thing? ”
"I just wonder why the royals would do the same as us." When Zhang Xiaotian heard this, he remembered his "true identity" and said nonsense.
The head of the He family said that he would not think that he was a figure in the twenty-first century, so he said: "There are two situations, one is the same race, but after so many generations of inheritance,
The blood relationship has long been weak, not to mention that the imperial court still encourages marriage between the same clan, so no one takes it seriously. The other is the surname given by His Majesty, and Liu Mang belongs to His Majesty to give the surname Liu. ”
Zhang Xiaotian only understood at this time, and quickly nodded yes.
"Xiaotian, you have to guard against two people, one is Tao Qian from Pengcheng, and the other is Yuan Shao from Jizhou, both of whom are not good, one is that you ruined the plan for peace and proximity,
The other is because you killed his number one general, Yan Liang, these two will definitely not let you go. ”
"Grandpa, you don't have to worry about me now, Xiaotian has already been prepared, because I know that the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance will be established soon after, and a group of heroes will definitely nominate Yuan Shao as the leader of the alliance, and at this time, the two of them can't take care of these things at all." Zhang Xiaotian said with a smile.
The head of the He family was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "Okay! You are truly my good son-in-law! ”
Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one not be defeated.
While intelligence gathering was as important a task in the twenty-first century as it is now, the difference is that in the twenty-first century, satellites can be relied upon, but now human eyes and ears are needed.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaotian discussed with He Miao how to find out Liu Mang's strategy against them, and expanded the intelligence work of Dong Zhuo and others.
After the discussion, it was getting dark, washing up, eating breakfast, and leading the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang and Zhao Yun to Madame Fen's mansion in Chang'an City.
The three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang and Zhao Yun have now become Zhang Xiaotian's personal guards, and as long as Zhang Xiaotian steps out of the mansion, they will not leave the left and right.
He Bao personally selected twenty capable subordinates to be Zhang Xiaotian's entourage, these people had followed him to Pengcheng, and they had already formed a deep relationship, and it was naturally very easy to use.
The current Chang'an City is very depressed because of the turmoil of the Ten Standing Servants and Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing, and many of them are businessmen from other places who are in a hurry.
Seeing this scene of depression and decay, Zhang Xiaotian felt a lot of emotion in his heart, and felt how hard and difficult the life of the people in this era was.
It strengthened his belief to let these suffering people get rid of this harsh living environment.
No matter how Zhang Xiaotian devotes himself to this era, it is difficult for him to feel everything in front of him like others.
Because he has always been a person from another era, with more than 1,800 years of historical experience, he sees it more realistically, more deeply, and more objectively than any sage or wise man of this era.
While thinking, Zhang Xiaotian and his party entered Mrs. Fen's mansion.
Liu Fen greeted them in the main hall.
Zhang Xiaotian specially introduced Zhao Yun and Liu Guan and Zhang to her, and said in a low voice: "My brothers are very good at kung fu.
If I have urgent matters to inform you, I will send one of them to you. ”
After setting a few simple contact signals, Mrs. Fen said with an inviting smile: "The fourth princess is waiting for you inside." ”
Zhang Xiaotian was surprised and happy at this moment and said, "Your Majesty is really willing to agree to your request?" ”
Mrs. Fen went to the inner hall with him, while Zhao Yun and Liu Guanzhang, the three brothers, stayed in the outer hall.
Madame Fen said as she walked: "After I stated the benefits to His Majesty the Imperial Nephew, His Majesty agreed. ”
Zhang Xiaotian secretly praised Liu Fen's cleverness and wisdom in his heart, and then said: "It turns out that Liu Mang is not surnamed Liu, but I don't know who he is, what is the background?" ”
"No one in Chang'an dared to mention this matter, because Liu Mang would do whatever it took to deal with the person who investigated his past background, and he was only seventeen or eighteen years old when he came to Chang'an.
was introduced by an inner servant, because Liu Mang's swordsmanship was superb, he was well-behaved, and he had an affair with the queen, so he quickly won the favor of the emperor.
At that time, the emperor was still fierce and fierce, but since he came, the emperor's dragon body has been weakening day by day, and everyone speculated that Liu Mang had done something.
But because of his close relationship with Ho Hou, we can't even speak.
But what is unthinkable is that now even Liu Fang's suspicious death, Empress He and His Majesty have allowed Liu Mang and Dong Zhuo to cover the sky with one hand, and now everyone in the palace has become cold to His Majesty, but what is the use of this! Liu Fen said.
Zhang Xiaotian forced himself to stop thinking about Mrs. Nafang at this moment, and said calmly: "Is the recommended chamberlain still there?" ”
"Soon after His Majesty ascended the throne, the courtiers were found to have fallen into a well and drowned, and we did not suspect anything at the time.
Now that I was asked by you, I thought that this person should have been killed by Liu Mang. Liu Fen said.
Zhang Xiaotian asked, "Is the chamberlain a member of the court?" ”
"I don't know about this, but it's not difficult, and it should be able to be checked." Mrs. Fen thought for a moment and said,
Zhang Xiaotian said: "The investigation should be carried out in secret. ”
"Come on! Do you still need to tell me this? Mrs. Fen sneered.
Zhang Xiaotian was just about to speak, but the fourth princess had already brought a burst of fragrant wind into his arms, her delicate body trembled, and she hugged him tightly with all her might.
When I saw the four princesses, she was naturally a concubine, and they complained to each other.
After speaking, Zhang Xiaotian immediately said about Liu Xie, and Mrs. Fen looked at him with interest for a long time, and said, "Xiao Lang, don't blame Fen'er for being curious,
It seems that when you first arrived in Chang'an, you were very interested in Liu Xie, and you should not know anything at that time, why are you so optimistic about Liu Xie? ”
Zhang Xiaotian was speechless, with Liu Fen's intelligence, no matter how he explained it, it was not appropriate, and it was possible that he would add to it, because with his identity and status at that time, it was impossible for him to even know about the existence of Liu Xie.
