"Uh...... What are you? Xu Zizhen was taken aback, but found that they didn't seem to have any ill will towards him.

The first general stepped forward to give a military salute and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, the prefect has been waiting for you for a long time, and I told the little ones to welcome you in as soon as they see you, but it has not been very peaceful recently, and Mr. safety's safety is the most important thing, please forgive me." ”

Damn, it turned out to be to protect himself, scared Lao Tzu, Xu Zizhen slandered his belly, he was still very grateful, nodded and said: "Thank you and thank you, don't dare to be, my lord is in the yamen, I'll go find him myself, don't bother you." ”

The general leaned over and whispered: "There are rebels mixed in the city, there should be remnants of Tianluo, Lord Zhang takes special care of the little ones, and when Mr. comes, he will protect you well." ”

Rebels? Miao Fu's people are chasing Zhao Gou here? As for Tianluo, it's not a strange thing, Wushu is immortal for his own heart, Taiyuan is his second base, and it is normal to arrange some detailed work.

Everyone talked about this, but Xu Zizhen didn't insist anymore, nodded and said, "Then there will be labor." ”

The general was overjoyed, waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers, go, send Mr. into the city!" ”

There was a team of sergeants next to him, about 20 people, it was enough to have so many people to protect him in Taiyuan City, and a group of people surrounded Xu Zizhen and went to the city, attracting the attention of countless people.

Xu Zizhen shook his head helplessly, he originally wanted to keep a low profile, but it became the focus of everyone, and it was difficult not to be discovered, so someone greeted him loudly from time to time along the way, or called Mr. Xu, or called the god of war, or called his name directly, until he stopped outside the gate of the palace.

The general and his soldiers looked at him with a kind of reverence and envy, and the people who greeted Xu Zizhen along the way never stopped, which showed his status in the minds of the people of Taiyuan, and Xu Zizhen kept smiling and waving his hand, but only he knew the suffering, and it was only half an hour away, and his face was about to stiffen with laughter.

"Sir, we'll be here, farewell!" The general said goodbye, gave up, and turned away.

Xu Zizhen rubbed his facial muscles vigorously, and if he laughed again, he was afraid that his face would cramp, but fortunately, this was the place.

The servants on duty at the entrance of the yamen also rushed up, and several people escorted him into the gate, and only then did one lead him inside, until he stopped outside the door of the study.

There were a few men in plain clothes standing outside the study, with sharp eyes and burly figures, at first glance, they were the kind of high-level guards with extraordinary skills, and there was a person standing closest to the door, looking at Xu Zizhen upright.

Yan Zhao!

Three years ago, Zhao Gou put Yan Zhao under Zhang Shuye, after all, his skills are very good, and he can also borrow military merits to win an official rank when he enters the army, but Xu Zizhen understands that Zhao Gou at that time was afraid that his personal relationship with Yan Zhao was too good, and he didn't want to let himself know too much of his private affairs, and now Yan Zhao is back, obviously Zhao Gou was also panicked after being betrayed by Miao Fu, no matter how Yan Zhao has a good relationship with him, but after all, his loyalty is absolute.

Xu Zizhen and Yan Zhao's friendship can be regarded as brothers, and he has never broken the correspondence with Yan Zhao in the past three years, but when the two met today, Xu Zizhen noticed that Yan Zhao's eyes seemed to be a little meaningful, perhaps because Zhao Gou was in the house, the two just met each other, without any language exchange, and they didn't even say hello.

Yan Zhao was silent for a moment, and coughed lightly at the door: "Qi Qi Guan's family, Xu Zizhen asks to see." ”

There was silence for a few seconds, and a deep voice came out: "Accurate." ”

Xu Zizhen raised his eyebrows slightly, the voice inside was undoubtedly Zhao Gou, but he should know that he was coming, and it could be heard from the tone that it seemed that the mood was not too high, and even vaguely unhappy, he thought about it for a while, and almost guessed why Zhao Gou was unhappy.

He nodded to Yan Zhao, and was about to push the door in, but he heard a sound of footsteps in the distance, turned his head to look, and saw a few people walking quickly, Xu Zizhen smiled, and all the people who came were acquaintances, and the first one who walked was an old man over half a hundred years old, wearing plain clothes, with sharp eyes and gray hair, that was the former prefect of the Daimyo Mansion, and now Li Gang, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and next to him was Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of the Taiyuan Mansion, which was Xu Zizhen's acquaintance, and there was an old acquaintance behind him, the upright and stubborn Ma Chunlin Ma.

Li Gang saw Xu Zizhen from afar, and hurriedly beckoned, as if he wanted to say something to Xu Zizhen, but unfortunately he was so late, Xu Zizhen shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to the study, and then turned around and pushed the door in.

The study is simple and elegant, there are not many furnishings, it is Zhang Xiaochun's style, there is a person sitting at the desk inside, his face is haggard, and there is bloodshot in his eyes, it is Zhao Gou, Xu Zizhen saw at a glance that there was still a wound on his forehead, as if it had been broken somewhere, and it had scabbed.

Xu Zizhen stopped at the door and looked at Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou raised his head and also looked at Xu Zizhen, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't see what emotion was.

The two of them didn't speak, they just looked at each other quietly, and there seemed to be a kind of resentment in the air slowly condensing, and the source of this emotion was obviously from Zhao Gou.

It's been three years, and the two haven't seen each other for three years.

During this period, Xu Zizhen has been paying attention to Ying Tianfu and Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou can often get information about Xu Zizhen in Yaode City, and like Yan Zhao, Xu Zizhen also often writes to Zhao Gou, and the two are still like they first met, just like simple friends, gentlemen's friends, and greet each other.

But because of this, Zhao Gou was extremely angry in his heart, in his heart Xu Zizhen was a prophet and could predict the affairs of the world, but he never mentioned even half a sentence in his letter about this mutiny.

The quiet atmosphere remained for an unknown amount of time, but Zhao Gou opened his mouth first: "Zizhen, you, you're finally here." ”

You're finally here.

These five words can be seen as expectation or resentment, but Xu Zizhen only didn't understand, and smiled slightly: "Seventh Master, I'm here." ”

The corners of Zhao Gou's eyes jumped, Seventh Master, what a familiar and seemingly unfamiliar title, only Xu Zizhen would call him that way in the whole world, and he has always called him that, even if he became the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the supreme son of heaven.

After another silence, Zhao Gou took a deep breath and asked, "Do you already know about the mutiny?" ”

Xu Zizhen nodded: "Got it." After a pause, he added, "I knew about it three years ago." ”

Bang!

Zhao Gou seemed to be waiting for his words, slammed the table and stood up, and shouted: "Of course I know that you already know, who are you?" You are the world-famous Xu Zizhen, you are the Xu Zizhen who knows everything! You could have known that Yelu Yanxi had died in the country, you could have known that I would go to the camp of Zhending as a hostage, and you could even know that Bianjing would break the second emperor and be taken captive, but why did you never tell me that there would be such a mutiny? Could it be that you are just waiting to see me like this, waiting to see me so embarrassed? ”

Pong!

In the corner of the table, a jade pen holder was shocked and fell to the ground, turning into countless fragments.
