Chapter Ninety-Eight
"Of course I remember, isn't that Sima Ying's subordinates, only his army is stationed close to Lishi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
"I've already seen the officer who took the lead last time, but he didn't recognize us. According to the local people, they were stationed near Luoyang, and they were openly doing evil and looting among the people, and the magistrates were pretending to be deaf and dumb. β
"Why didn't Zhang Chang find out any news?" Tang Zhong's brows furrowed, and he had a faint sense of foreboding in his heart.
Yang Ke took out the secret letter that Zhang Chang sent to Lishi and handed it to Tang Zhong. Tang Zhong took it and unfolded it, and there was a simple sentence on it: "Sima Ying was ordered to enter Beijing as an assistant." β
Tang Zhong was silent for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Whether Ziping chose to stand on your uncle's side or has something else to hide, it still needs to be investigated in detail, I don't believe that he will betray Gongzi." β
Zhang Rui took the secret letter from Tang Zhong's hand, hurriedly read it, and said in surprise: "Is there anything wrong with this secret letter?" Why did the old master say this? β
Yang Ke smiled faintly: "If I guessed correctly, something must have happened to Ziping, and the worst result is to be imprisoned or coerced." With such a major change, how could he report to me when the will was issued and Sima Ying had already arrived in Kyoto. And the content of the letter is vague, and there is no mention of my uncle's involvement, as for Sima Ying came with the army, he did not leak a word, and if something is abnormal, it must be a demon. β
Zhang Rui thought about it carefully, and it was true, but at the same time, she had a big question in her heart: "In this way, what is the purpose of their writing this letter?" β
Tang Zhong said: "This is the problem, they are trying to lure Gongzi back to Beijing, there must be a big conspiracy hidden behind this." β
"I still have no official position in the court, I have always been hidden behind my back, and I can take all the power under the name of my uncle and Sima Ying with a piece of paper, as long as I am placed under house arrest or killed, who in this world will remember that there is such a number one person as me. If it doesn't work, the army that Sima Ying brought is for use against me, not to mention that my uncle has always been a captain, although he is the nominal commander of the world's soldiers and horses, but in extraordinary times, this name is enough to be worth 100,000 soldiers. β
"Childe mean, this time they made a pocket and waited for you to drill into it?" Tang Zhong actually had this kind of speculation in his heart, but this sentence must be said by Yang Ke himself, and if someone else said this sentence, it would be suspicious of discord.
Yang Ke raised his wine glass and drank it all: "What's so good about power, carrying a big deal behind your back, doing the hardest and most tiring errands, having no friends, no one to talk to, and always beware of enemies in the open and in the dark, and even beware of your own relatives." I really don't understand, is that really that important to sit in that position, even if you give up everything without hesitation? β
Zhang Rui saw Yang Ke's preoccupied appearance, silently filled his cup with wine, filled a bowl of hot soup and put it in front of him: "Use some hot soup and drink again, it can warm your stomach." β
After drinking this table of wine, the three of them were silent, Yang Ke was tired all the way, the wine was sad, and he was soon drunk, after settling him to sleep in the room, Tang Zhong pulled Zhang Rui's sleeve, signaled that there was something to discuss with her, and the two came to the outer room except for Yang Ke's bedroom.
"Youfang girl, I must take you to Hulu Valley this time, there is something important to ask for." Tang Zhong's face was solemn and he gave a deep salute.
"Old master, don't dare to be polite, if you have anything, you can tell me, I will definitely do it." Zhang Rui's expression was resolute.
"Childe has always done things in a measured manner and with foresight, but this time I think he is completely messed up, it's not that he didn't guess, in fact, he had a premonition before he left Beijing, and made arrangements in advance. But Childe always had a trace of fantasy in his heart, and deliberately did not face this final showdown moment. But now, the arrow is on the string, life and death are at stake, and he can't be soft-hearted, let alone depressed. Childe's tone just now, I felt that he almost even wanted to hang the crown and beg to go. Tang Zhong's face was anxious.
"Old master, don't blame him, in the past few years, he hasn't had a day of peace, in Xiu Lie's own words, it's like rolling on the tip of a knife. He's too tired, let's not force him, how about letting him breathe? Zhang Rui reunited with Yang Ke after a long absence today, she was originally full of joy, but she couldn't bear Yang Ke's state in her heart.
"Gongzi is now tied to the lives of countless people and the safety of the world, and he finally calmed down the situation of the dynasty, in exchange for a glimmer of dawn for my Dajin to move towards great governance. If there is any more power to make a rebellion, we people will die without a place to be buried, and the vassal kings of the world will rise up and the foreign races will take the opportunity to rebel, and the people will be in trouble, and there will be a catastrophe. At this moment, the child's heart must be ruthless, and the ambition must be strong, these words, only the young girl can say to him, the old man begs you for the common people in the world. Zhang Rui was full of sorrow in her heart, she dreamed that she could be with Yang Ke without asking about the world, and she would be far away from this chaotic court, but as long as Yang Ke was in the court for a day, she had to take care of the stain that she had become an official prostitute, and at the same time she had to face the pressure of her queen sister and biological parents, and she had to face the leisurely mouth of the world.
"I understand the girl's heart, Gongzi is the only talent that the old man has seen in his life, Kunpeng should spread his wings for nine days, Jiaolong should travel all over the world, if Gongzi can only grow old in Lin Quan for the rest of his life, won't the girl feel sorry for him?" Tang Zhong looked at Zhang Rui with blazing eyes, his eyes were so sharp that they almost penetrated her heart. Zhang Rui's face was pale, and she seemed to see the scene of Yang Ke in a cloth dress, children around his knees, an ordinary life, and nothing to do. On the one hand, Yang Ke's thousands of miles of Pengcheng, on the other hand, his lifelong happiness, Zhang Rui faced such a difficult choice for the first time in her life: "Old master, don't say any more, let me think about it?" β
Tang Zhong didn't say a word, gave a deep salute again, and retreated silently.
Zhang Rui returned to the bedroom, Yang Ke was sleeping deeply, a bright moon hung high outside the window, and the bright moon closed through the window lattice, half reflected on Yang Ke's face. Yang Ke, who was sleeping, looked serene, Zhang Rui gently tucked the corners of the quilt, and tears fell like pearls with broken threads: "The old master is right, you are the Kunpeng in the sky, the dragon in the sea, you are Yang Ke of the world, not Yang Ke of me alone, if I really let you accompany me to the end of my life, then I am too selfishγγγγγγγγ β
