"Very well. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info," Yang Lian said.

Zhou Zong didn't understand Yang Lian's question, thought about it, or asked, and said, "Yang Jiedu, what do you mean?" ”

"Zhou Situ, I won't tell you that he was left in Fuzhou and was almost poisoned by Wu Yueren, so Yang asked this question." Yang Lian said without changing his face, in fact, because Yang Lian arrived in time, Cha Wenhui was not poisoned, but in history, Cha Wenhui was killed by the chronic poison of Wu Yue people.

Zhou Zong was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Yang Lian to mean this, he hesitated slightly, and said: "Qian Hongyu is the king of Wuyue, so he shouldn't do such an indiscriminate thing, right?" ”

Yang Lian laughed out loud for a long time, and then asked, "Zhou Situ is in Hangzhou City, how do you feel?" ”

Zhou Zong thought that Yang Lian was ridiculing him, so he immediately raised his eyebrows, arched his hand, and said in a cold voice: "Yang Jiedu, although Zhou is defeated, he also has the dignity of defeat, Yang Jiedu is like this, is he ridiculing Zhou?!" ”

Yang Lian shook his head and said, "Zhou Situ is too worried, what does Yang mean, what do you think of Qian Hongyu, the king of Wuyue?" ”

"Small belly chicken intestines, you will be rewarded!" Zhou Zong said, almost gritting his teeth. Obviously, he was angry about Qian Hongyu's words, kicking and scolding him.

Yang Lian nodded and said, "Zhou Situ, although Yang doesn't know Qian Hongyu, as a king, he is naturally not a good match. Forgive Yang for being presumptuous, did King Wu Yue really not say anything to Zhou Situ? ”

Zhou Zong was stunned for a moment, remembering what Qian Hongyu had said to him before leaving, and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.

Yang Lian had long expected this scene, walked up a few steps, pushed open the door, and said, "Zhou Situ, please speak inside." ”

Zhou Zong hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Yang Lian's playful eyes, he thought to himself what if he could go in, could Yang Lian really dare to kill himself? Immediately, he straightened his chest and walked in. There was a tung oil lamp lit in the room, and there was a faint smell of sesame oil, Zhou Zong went in, looked left and right, looked at it a few times, and put his mind at ease.

This is a small house, the furnishings inside are very simple, there can be no ambush, thinking of this, Zhou Zong felt that he was too worried, Yang Lian killed himself, where can he use ambushes? In the center of the room are two tables with dishes on them. After Yang Lian came in, he closed the door with his backhand, waved his hand, and said, "Zhou Situ, please!" ”

With that, Yang Lian walked to one of the desks and sat down cross-legged.

Zhou Zong knew that Yang Lian had something to say, so he sat opposite and looked at Yang Lian quietly.

"Zhou Situ, talk while eating." Yang Lian said.

Zhou Zong couldn't get along with his stomach no longer angry, so he nodded and agreed.

Yang Lian stood up and poured wine for Zhou Zong first, and then said: "Zhou Situ can eat and drink with confidence, there is absolutely no poison in this wine and food." As he spoke, Yang Lian picked up the wine glass first and drank it all.

Zhou Zong smiled bitterly, also picked up the wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Frankly speaking, Yang has a few questions, and he is very confused, and I hope Zhou Situ will solve his doubts." Yang Lian sat down and said: "Yang is just a martial artist, in the troubled times, all he wants is peace, but Zhou Situ seems to be very hostile to Yang, dare to ask why this hostility?" ”

Zhou Zong put down his wine glass when he heard this, sorting out his thoughts, he naturally knew why in his heart, but could he say this? If it is said to be said, will Yang Lian really do it and kill himself? Zhou Zong hesitated.

Yang Lian smiled faintly and said, "If Zhou Situ has anything to say, in this Yuhang, absolutely no one dares to touch Zhou Situ's finger, and Yang will definitely send Zhou Situ back to Jinling smoothly." ”

This sentence touched Zhou Zong's heart, he didn't want to die, let alone abandon his wife and children, Jinling, is not only a familiar name, but also a warm home, at this moment, Zhou Zong's heart came alive, but he still hesitated for a moment, and said: "Really? ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "What Yang said is true. The heavens speak for itself. As long as Zhou Situ does not become an enemy of Yang Lian in the future, Yang Lian will not embarrass Zhou Situ in the future. ”

Zhou Zong pursed his lips, although he didn't like Yang Lian, he also knew that he was a strong man with a daughter. Thinking of this, he slowly propped himself up and said, "Yang Jiedu, do you really want to hear it?" ”

"I really want to hear it." Yang Lian said.

Zhou Zong slowly sat up again, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "Since Yang Jiedu wants to hear it, Zhou Mou will talk about it." ”

"Yang Jiedu, you claim to be a Guanzhong person, but your accent is not strong in Guanzhong, and I think that Yang Jiedu is not a Guanzhong person, but a descendant of Yang Wu, the old prince of the previous dynasty, Yang Lian." Zhou Zong said, his eyes staring closely at Yang Lian's eyes, as if he wanted to see the truth from his eyes.

Yang Lian looked at him fearlessly, and after a while, he laughed twice and said: "Zhou Situ, about the old prince of the previous dynasty, not only Zhou Situ mentioned it, but even the current King of Qi, Prime Minister Sun, King Yan and others have mentioned it, and even today's son has also tested Yang with this matter, but unfortunately, the Son of Heaven is wise and identifies that Yang is not the old prince of the previous dynasty." ”

Yang Lian's words mean a lot, the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty has already recognized his identity, if Zhou Situ still doubts, it is doubtful of the Son of Heaven. Zhou Zong was really stunned when he heard this, he didn't know much about this matter, and King Yan and Prime Minister Sun naturally wouldn't tell him, so he was naturally kept in the dark. At this time, listening to what Yang Lian said, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Really?" Zhou Zong asked.

Yang Lian slowly took a sip of the wine and said, "If Zhou Situ doesn't believe it, you can ask the Son of Heaven and the King of Qi." ”

Zhou Zong fell silent, how could he ask about this matter? The death of the old prince of the previous dynasty was unknown, and after his wife Princess Yongxing scolded for a while, she also sat down and died, and there were many sayings in Jinling at that time. If today's son was only the crown prince at that time, the Son of Heaven and Princess Yongxing were good friends, but for the sake of the future, he could only keep silent.

This matter is taboo in the heart of the Son of Heaven, King Yan has repeatedly challenged this matter, only to be snubbed by the Son of Heaven, Zhou Zong knows this matter deeply, where dare to take the initiative to ask? The reason why Zhou Zong took refuge in King Yan and secretly worked for him was only because of Yang Lian's relationship.

Yang Lian waited for a moment and said, "Zhou Situ, it is precisely because you think that Yang is the old prince of the previous dynasty that you are hostile to Yang?" ”

Zhou Zong thought about it and felt that it was better to make this matter clear, so he said, "This is just one of them." ”

"And what about the other one?" Yang Lian asked.

Zhou Zong kept silent, and this matter seemed to be a little difficult to speak.

Yang Lian thought of it, smiled, and said, "Yang knows, is it because of Emperor Zhou E's matter?" ”

Zhou Zong nodded, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Yang Lian laughed out loud and said, "Emperor E's talent is both complete, Yang is just a martial artist, and he doesn't dare to climb high." ”

Zhou Zong smiled bitterly, Yang Lian said this, the Son of Heaven gave Princess Huairou to him, the royal family can look at Yang Lian, Zhou Zong is just an executive, where can he compare to the nobility of the royal family? Yang Lian's words were slapping him in the face.

"Yang Jiedu has made a great contribution this time, after returning to Jinling, the Son of Heaven will definitely marry Princess Huairou to Yang Jiedu." Zhou Zong said, still a reminder of beating around the bush.

Yang Lian smiled faintly and said, "Zhou Situ, when it comes to the destruction of Wu Yue, Yang feels that Qian Hongyu is punishable. Frankly speaking, did Qian Hongyu really not say anything to Zhou Situ? ”

"Nope." Zhou Zong shook his head, how could he say this matter?

"Since Zhou Situ doesn't want to say it, then Yang will say it." Yang Lian said while eating: "Knowing that Zhou Situ was captured, Yang specially wrote a letter to Qian Hongyu, urging him to kill Zhou Situ. This was done by Yang on purpose. Qian Hongyu is the lord of Wu Yue, so he naturally knows the internal situation of the Tang Dynasty well. For him, letting go of Zhou Situ is intended to compete for power with Yang, if you and I are fighting endlessly, and wanting to conquer Hangzhou is simply wishful thinking. ”

Regarding this point, Zhou Zong had a certain hunch, so he nodded, which can be regarded as agreeing.

Therefore, Yang plans to send Zhou Situ back to Beijing, firstly, it is the consideration of the right talent, and secondly, the battlefield is silent, if something happens to Zhou Situ, Yang will not be able to explain. Third, Yang Lian wants to reconcile with Zhou Situ, and it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. Of course, friends can't do it, strangers can't do it, as long as Zhou Situ is not hostile to Yang and no longer embarrass Yang, this is enough. Yang Lian said.

Zhou Zong was silent for a while, nodded and said: "Zhou's ability to lead troops is indeed insufficient, and now that Yang Jiedu has a way to conquer Hangzhou, Zhou is willing to return to Jinling." Zhou Zong was very helpless, but he also knew that in this situation, even if he didn't want to return to Jinling, it would be impossible.

Yang Lian nodded, things are almost done, what Zhou Zong thinks in the future, Yang Lian can't care, if Zhou Zong still insists on going his own way and wants to become an enemy, Yang Lian will definitely not be soft at that time. After saying the matter, the two ate and drank, and before they knew it, an hour had passed, and Yang Lian sent someone to send Zhou Zong to rest.

Zhou Zong was also sleepy, and after washing, he lay down on the soft bed and fell asleep. Early the next morning, Yang Lian took him around Yuhang City, and in front of him, the old Praetorian Guards were all subdued by Yang Lian, and a group of people practiced in Yang Lian's unique way, Zhou Zong was even more full of despair, and the opportunity to recruit the old department was completely shattered.

Zhou Zong stayed for another day, and Yang Lian arranged for a boat to take him back to Jinling. Five days later, the ship took advantage of the wind and quickly arrived at Jinling, looking at Jinling where the warbler flew and the grass grows, Zhou Zong breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he was still alive.

After Zhou Zong disembarked with a few guards, he entered the city and went straight to the imperial city, and when he arrived at the gate of the city, Zhou Zong identified himself and took out his seal. When the soldiers defending the city let him into the city, they couldn't help but whisper, Zhou Situ is back?

At this time, it was already dusk, Li Jing was walking in the backyard, and when he heard Gao Ze say that Zhou Situ was back, he was immediately overjoyed and asked people to take Zhou Situ to the imperial study.

Zhou Zong arrived in the imperial study first, he was quite hesitant in it, defeated and lost, tens of thousands of troops collapsed once, and there are still many soldiers who don't know where to go, and they don't know if they are hiding, and they really sacrifice their lives for the country.

Footsteps sounded outside the door, Zhou Zong took a few steps back, saw that it was the Son of Heaven coming, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, saying, "Zhou Zong, the guilty minister, I have seen Your Majesty." ”

Li Jing looked at Zhou Zong, hurriedly helped him up, and said, "Zhou Situ, get up." I also know that you have worked hard. ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard!" Zhou Zong said, he was very frightened in his heart, but the Son of Heaven was not angry, which made him a little unpredictable.

Li Jing had another idea, Zhou Zong's defeat was true, he was also very depressed at the beginning, and he wanted to kill Zhou Zong, who had ruined the big thing, but then he thought about it, the cause and effect was because Changzhou grain was burned, Zhou Zong had no food, and the collapse of the three armies was reasonable, not to mention that Zhou Zong had supported it for so long.

Regarding this point, Zhou Zong had a certain hunch, so he nodded, which can be regarded as agreeing.

Therefore, Yang plans to send Zhou Situ back to Beijing, firstly, it is the consideration of the right talent, and secondly, the battlefield is silent, if something happens to Zhou Situ, Yang will not be able to explain.
