There is a mansion in Fugu Prefecture that was once very prominent.

The reason why it is said to have been a while is because not long ago, this mansion was still full of cars and horses, and the momentum even faintly overshadowed the Zhenwu Army Metropolitan Governor's Mansion not far away.

But two months ago, with the loss of power of the owner of the mansion, the mansion was immediately deserted, without guests, and completely deserted.

And the owner of the mansion blocked the door of the mansion and lived an almost secluded life.

In the middle of the night, the moon is in the sky, the stars are twinkling, the silver light is sprinkled all over every inch of the backyard of the mansion, the pool water is sparkling, slightly rippling, a wonderful world.

In the rockery pavilion in the middle of the pond, Zhe Weiben is dressed in Yanju regular clothes, sitting in it with a sigh of emotion, pouring himself a cup from time to time, a sad state of the end of the hero.

After resigning and returning home, Zhi Weiben lived a simple life, and almost did not take half a step out of the house.

It's not that he has seen through the ups and downs of the world and is ready to hide in the mansion, but he really doesn't have the face to go out to face those acquaintances who have been good friends with him.

The dignified history of the fourth rank Zhenwu army is now reduced to ordinary ordinary people, which really makes him embarrassed.

Just when he sighed, a dark figure suddenly appeared on the rockery, and a few jumped ghostly approached the pavilion, standing on the side of the pavilion and said with a sad smile: "Don't be a few years, don't you come to the long history?" ”

Zhi Weiben was shocked, turned around suddenly, looked at the visitor dumbfounded, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, and exclaimed: "Someone, there is an assassin ......."

A sad voice came from afar, but no one answered.

The man in black snorted coldly and said: "There are only a few people in the mansion, all of them are far apart, even if you cut your throat now, no one will come to save you, so it's better to save your worries." ”

Zhi Wei knew that this person must be a very powerful master, and suddenly his whole body was cold, cold sweat flowed, Teng Teng took a few steps back and approached the railing of the gazebo, and asked in a trembling voice: "You, who are you?" What do you want to do? ”

"You and I are old people, and it's really forgetful to fold a long history!" The man in black sighed lightly, and his right hand reached out to untie the black cloth covering his face, and an old face suddenly appeared very clearly.

Zhen Weiben's pupils contracted suddenly, and he said in a lost voice: "It's you?" ”

The man in black sneered: "I didn't expect Lord Changshi to remember it, it's really rare." ”

Zhi Weiben was stunned for a while, then he snorted heavily, and shouted sharply: "Er is a general of the enemy country, and he still has the courage to sneak into Fuzhou?" It's really bullying me, and no one in the Zhenwu Army! ”

Hearing this, the man in black sneered and said: "Haha, Zhe Changshi is worthy of being a proud man, he is loyal to Daqi in the open, but he secretly betrays his robe, which is really amazing!" In fact, I came down to make a deal with you. ”

Zhi Weiben was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Bold fanatics, what nonsense are you talking about!" Believe it or not, I'll put you in a different place right away! ”

The man in black had a glimmer of light in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Four years ago, my Emperor Wulie led the army and the Zhenwu Army to conduct a decisive battle in Dahengshui, speaking of which, I was a major general at that time, and in the face of 50,000 Zhenwu troops, I was not sure of victory, but I didn't expect that at this time, a secret report was sent into our army, and the exact location of the Zhenwu Army's big tent was told to our dynasty, Emperor Wulie immediately made a decision, sent the army to carry out a sneak attack, and broke the Zhenwu Army's Chinese army tent in one fell swoop, and Zhenwu Army's capital Governor Zhi Weizhong died on the spot, The entire Zhenwu army was in chaos, and Emperor Wulie also relied on this to defeat the Zhenwu army in one fell swoop, laying the victory of the Battle of Hengshui. ”

Speaking of this, the expression of the man in black gradually changed to ridicule: "Folding long history, I have always been very curious about the source of the secret report, and I don't know who sent us such a big gift. ”

Unexpectedly, the secret hidden in the deepest part of his heart was broken by this person, and he only felt that the blood on his body froze in an instant, and his face turned to ashes, and he said in a trembling voice: "You, you, nonsense!" ”

The man in black sneered: "Hehe, is it nonsense is not based on the judgment of Zhi Changshi, if I reveal this news to Zhi Zhao, how many days does Lord Changshi think he can live?" ”

Zhen Weiben didn't say a word, glared at the man in black angrily, his breathing was like a bellows, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead.

"You...... What exactly do you want? After half a loud sound, only did he stabilize his mind and gritted his teeth and asked.

The man in black said lightly: "This time, Lord Changshi and Zhe Zhao unfortunately lost in the battle for the military power of the Zhenwu Army, and now it can be said that it has reached the end of the mountain, do not hide it from Lord Changshi, in fact, my lord has admired you for a long time, if Lord Changshi is willing to abandon the darkness and join our dynasty, we will definitely treat him as a national soldier." ”

"You want me to surrender?" Zhen Weiben's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was uncertain.

"Yes, as long as Lord Changshi can show sincerity and be loyal to our dynasty, my lord will definitely give Lord Changshi an honorable status, and it will not be lower than the position of the chief history of the Zhenwu Army."

"What if the old man refuses?"

"Hehe, then you can only be left to a dead end for Changshi, I believe that the Governor of Zhezhao will know that her father was actually killed by you, and he will be furious, and when Changshi is ruined, thousands of people will spurn it!"

After a long silence, Zhi Weiben sighed softly, the wrinkles on his face were tightly squeezed together, and he looked like he had lost his former majesty, and he actually had an old age: "If I surrender, what will happen?" ”

The man in black said solemnly: "If Lord Changshi is truly obedient, glory and wealth are just around the corner, and even regaining control of the Zhenwu Army is not an extravagant hope, of course, the Zhenwu Army in the lower mouth is the Zhenwu Army loyal to our dynasty." ”

After listening to the words, Zhi Weiben couldn't help but be moved.

Now that he has reached the end of his life, not only is there no hope of recovering his official body, maybe he will die at the hands of his political enemies, and although he has taken refuge in the enemy country, he has found a way to live in glory and wealth.

Thinking of this, Zhen Weiben finally made up his mind, but he was full of scheming, so naturally he would not agree so easily, and said indifferently: "It's okay if you want me to surrender, but I need a promise from the emperor of your country." ”

"Tell me what you promised."

"After the old man surrenders, I can help you seize Fuzhou, Linzhou, Xuzhou, and Fengzhou, but after the matter is completed, your country must let me be the governor of the Zhenwu Army, hereditary replacement, and I also promise that the Zhe family will be loyal to your country, just like the previous allegiance to the Tang Dynasty and Daqi."
