Yang Yaozong, Ah Yi, and Jie Zhiluo finally rushed to the Tianjin wharf on the night of 10 September after a six-day journey. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 As soon as they arrived at the docks, they found Zhang Lie and Sewu standing on the way to the docks, looking at them.

Without waiting for Yang Yaozong and Ah Yi to get out of the carriage, Sewu, who was the first to discover Jie Zhiluo, took Zhang Lie and ran to the place where the carriage stopped.

Seu and Ayi, who hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, hugged each other tightly, and the two cried excitedly. After separation, he laughed and cried at the same time, and spoke in Turkic language.

Zhang Lie walked to Yang Yaozong's side, his eyes were red, and he said excitedly: "Brother Yang! “

Yang Yaozong nodded and smiled, "Brother Zhang! Makes you worried. “

Zhang Lie said with a smile: "As long as Brother Yang can come back safely, when I was in Texas two days ago, Se Wu got the news that you and Ayi had escaped." And will try to play with us in the port of Tianjin. So I waited for the ship and waited for you at the dock. Brother Yang has endured hardships along the way! “

Yang Yaozong looked at Ayi, and Ayi was also looking at Yang Yaozong, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Yang Yaozong turned his head to Zhang Lie and smiled: "It's okay! Everything is in the past. Ayi and I are also considered to be immortal, I hope there will be a blessing! Well...... We'll be in Beijing tomorrow. ”

Zhang Lie nodded and said with some excitement: "Hmm! It should be there tomorrow afternoon. Then he frowned and approached Yang Yaozong and whispered: "Regarding the kidnapping of the Lord and Ayi, when I learned that the Lord and Ayi were safe and sound, the lower official had already sent someone to report the matter to the capital when he was in Dezhou. After all, this matter involves you, an adult, but it is not trivial. And according to the lower officials, the identity of Aya, a little Turkic girl, does not seem to be so simple. Although the two countries are at war, they also have to be given an account about this kidnapping. This time, the emperor will definitely send people to urge the suppression of bandits in Shandong, and the bandits in Shandong should also be well managed. ”

Yang Yaozong didn't expect Zhang Lie to be so resolute. On the contrary, because Liao Qiniang and those old and young women and children in Guding did not want to pursue this matter, he seemed a little indecisive. After all, Liao Qiniang is a mountain bandit, and what she does is also to bring disaster to the people and hinder the peace of the Great Zhou. So Yang Yaozong frowned and nodded, but didn't say anything.

Sewu walked to Yang Yaozong's side and saluted Yang Yaozong respectfully: "Thank you Yang Gongzi for bringing my young lady back safely." Sewu couldn't repay ......" knelt down directly after speaking, and wanted to kowtow.

Yang Yaozong hurriedly helped Se Wu up and said, "Se Wu, what are you doing!" I can't afford it! Besides, Ayi will be kidnapped, and I will be blamed. I'm the one who caused Ayi. Okay, let's stop standing here, let's get on the boat and talk. Your young lady's illness is better, let her rest well. ”

He can arrive in Shangjing tomorrow, and Jie Zhiluo is not taking a boat, this boat ride is simply torture for him, so after Yang Yaozong and Ayi got on the boat, he drove the carriage to Shangjing first.

The four of them returned to the cabin where Yang Yaozong and Zhang Lie lived, and Ayi began to tell Zhang Lie and Se Wu everything that had happened since they were tied up on the mountain by Liao Qiniang, especially when it came to Yang Yaozong and Ayi jumping off the cliff, Zhang Lie and Se Wu were both frightened, and they looked surprised and incredible.

Yang Yaozong shook his head and smiled helplessly at Ayi.

Ayi looked at Yang Yaozong with beautiful eyes and sparkling eyes, showing a smile that he was proud of.

The four of them chatted until late at night, and Yang Yaozong sent Ayi and Seu back to the cabin where they were staying.

Ah Yi stopped Yang Yaozong, who was about to turn around, and said, "Yang Guo! ”

Yang Yaozong turned to look at Ayi and snorted softly.

Ayi looked at him seriously and said, "You should think about what I told you about going to the Turks with me to study. ”

Yang Yaozong frowned and then smiled: "Hmm! Good! ”

Ayi said excitedly: "Really? ”

Yang Yaozong nodded and said, "Hmm! Seriously. ”

"See you tomorrow!" Ayi was as if he had fulfilled a wish, and he was filled with happiness.

"See you tomorrow!" Yang Yaozong smiled.

***********

In the afternoon of the next day, the ship finally arrived in Beijing, and Jie Zhiluo was already waiting at the dock in a horse-drawn carriage.

There is a convenient carriage to ride, and Yang Yaozong and Zhang Lie also save a lot of trouble. Then they came with Ayi and them to the outside of the capital city.

When approaching the city gate, Yang Yaozong saw that there was a long queue at the city gate to enter the city, and everyone had to go through careful interrogation and examination, especially the examination of the road guide was extremely strict. The slightest suspicion will be forbidden. However, Jie Zhiluo didn't line up with them, he just showed a token to the guards at the city gate. There was a figure who seemed to be the leader of the guards at the city gate, respectfully leading them into Tianjing City through another gate. Such a simple way to enter Tianjing City was completely beyond Yang Yaozong's expectations.

Entering Tianjing City, Ayi insisted on sending Zhang Lie and Yang Yaozong to their residence. When she arrived at the door of Zhang Lie's house, Zhang Lie naturally invited Ayi and the three of them into the house as guests, but Ayi politely refused, and then she told Yang Yaozong about the inn she was staying in, and reluctantly said goodbye and left.

Zhang Lie took Yang Yaozong back home, Zhang Lie's brother was not at home, and obviously did not know the news of Zhang Lie's return. But the officials and subordinates of the Zhang Mansion were very happy to see Zhang Lie. And they all came up to congratulate Zhang Lieke on winning the list in one fell swoop. Zhang Lie gave them rewards one by one, and then instructed someone to arrange a place for Yang Yaozong to live and prepare hot water for bathing and dinner.

When the two had dinner, they chatted while eating.

"Tomorrow you're going to report to the Yamen."

"Hmmm! Do you have anything to tell your subordinates? ”

"Not for the time being, I'm going to visit Beijing in the next few days. It's just that if King Qin invites you to be a guest, if it's convenient to bring people, bring me. ”

"My lord has changed my name this time, what if I meet someone who knows you in King Qin's mansion?"

"Probably not, I rarely appear in front of everyone, and I have a reputation, and I have only been valued by the emperor for a few months, and there should be few people who can know me. And even if you recognize me, it's fine, but I'm afraid it's a lot of entertainment. “

"That's true, if the officials in the capital know that Taisun Taifu is here, I'm afraid they will have to wait in line to hold a banquet to entertain adults."

"Zhang Lie, what do you think of King Qin?" Yang Yaozong stared at Zhang Lie carefully and suddenly asked.

"Xiaguan has no contact with King Qin himself, but he still understands some things he has seen with his own eyes, such as King Qin's large-scale construction of the palace, such as the strict control of the capital, and King Qin's private recruitment. Therefore, Xia Guan thinks," Zhang Lie frowned and looked at Yang Yaozong deeply, and continued: "Xia Guan thinks that King Qin is afraid that he has a plan. Today, we are entering the city with Ayi, and I see that the token used by Jie Zhiluo seems to be the exemption token issued by the Qinwang Mansion. That's why it's so easy for us to enter the city, but you should see how strict the scrutiny of the people waiting in line outside the city is. This is just to get into the city, and it is even more difficult to get out of the city. ”

Yang Yaozong nodded and said: "You are now being sentenced by the emperor to Shangjing, and your responsibilities are very heavy, but you can also see that the emperor and the emperor's grandson trust and attach importance to you. So don't let down the trust that the emperor and the imperial grandson have placed in you. ”

Zhang Lie got up and respectfully bowed to the south, and then bowed to Yang Yaozong and said: "The emperor is virtuous and benevolent, and he loves the officials and the people. When I went to Tianjing, I had a better experience. Although Da Zhou is in a predicament, Xia Guan believes that as long as Da Zhou works together from top to bottom, then the predicament in front of Da Zhou will be solved. Eat the king's fortune and relieve your worries. Zhang Lie will not fail the emperor, the emperor's grandson and your lord's trust and love for Zhang Lie, even if you give up your life. ”

Yang Yaozong patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay! Zhang Lie! Who has not died in life since ancient times, and left Dan to take care of his sweat! Come! Let's have a drink! “

"Who has not died in life since ancient times, leaving Dan to take care of his sweat!" Zhang Lie repeated excitedly. Then he picked up the wine glass and said, "Zhang Lie is deeply honored to be able to make friends with adults!" My lord, this cup Zhang Lie respects you! “

Drinking all the wine in the cup, Zhang Lie said, "Hmm...... Do you want to send someone to follow the identities and whereabouts of Ayi? “

"Do you have someone you can trust in Shangjing to do this? If not, don't act rashly for the time being. You just need to do what you have to do when you take office, and when you get along with other officials, especially those who are inclined to be Qinwang, don't be overly concerned with them. You can learn more about Qinwang, and try to know as much as possible. Then tell me all the information you get. I guess you've guessed that my visit to Beijing this time is not as simple as a simple study tour, right? Yang Yaozong stared at Zhang Liedao.

Zhang Lie nodded and looked at Yang Yaozong, without the slightest intention of twisting and dodging.

Yang Yaozong looked at him with great appreciation and said, "You just need to do what you are within your responsibilities now, and if I need your help, I will talk to you in detail." Well...... I wonder if your brother's attitude is the same as yours? “

Zhang Lie said seriously: "If you say that my brother is loyal to the king, Zhang Lie, I can't do it. My brother has always used the king's important ministers to die, and the ministers had to die to educate me. As long as I mention that the king is the way, I will be severely reprimanded by my brother. “

The unfinished conversation didn't break up until late at night.

Yang Yaozong felt that many of Zhang Lie's ideas were very advanced. Especially when the two talked about the excitement and opened Zhang Lie's heart, they learned that Zhang Lie was not blindly loyal to the emperor like his brother, but chose to be loyal to the emperor because of his admiration for the emperor. Yang Yaozong was even more impressed with him. When Emperor Zhang Lieyan used the imperial warehouse to help the people affected by the disaster, and also promoted a lot of tax reduction policies, he was very excited. sighed that there is such an emperor in the Great Zhou who can share weal and woe with the people, and there is such an emperor who thinks about the people, isn't this the blessing of the people of the Great Zhou? He also said that the emperor is also a person who takes "the people as the most important, the society as the second, and the monarch as the light." The Prince of Benevolence. Regarding the current situation of the Great Zhou, Zhang Lie believes that although the current Great Zhou has external troubles, as long as the whole country works together to the outside world, external troubles are not enough. But he was also angry that the king of attendance may have a heart of disobedience. If King Qin harbors evil intentions at this time, it will be shameful to the world!

This conversation gave Yang Yaozong a deeper understanding of Zhang Lie. But if we talk about trust, we also need to observe Zhang Lie's actions in the future.

***********

The next day, Yang Yaozong and Zhang Lie went to Yamen together. Because when Yang Yaozong trained the security envoys, he told the security envoys that the contact code was engraved on the right side of the yamen wall in each place. As for why the yamen was chosen, the first is because there will be yamen everywhere, and the second is because it is not easy to be cleaned up by people who engrave the code in the secret places of the yamen. Of course, these contact codes can only be understood by the Ancha envoys.

Zhang Lie entered the mansion to report, and Yang Yaozong turned to the lower right corner of the mansion to carefully look for the contact code. Sure enough, Yang Yaozong found the code left by the Eagle Squad, according to the code left by the Eagle Squad, Yang Yaozong could see that they had come here every day to update the information, and the latest information left was to meet at a chaos shop near this place at nine o'clock tonight.

Now that there is news from the Eagle Squad and a clear time for the joint, Yang Yaozong also discovered that there is a chaos shop not far from here, and found this joint location, and Yang Yaozong's heart has also settled down. So he hired a carriage and wandered around the capital, of course, it seemed to be wandering, but in fact he was observing the situation in the capital, and by the way, he also helped Xiao Xizi find his sister.

After a car ride, Yang Yaozong already had a general understanding of the capital city, and also saw the palace that was about to be completed, and its scale was comparable to the imperial palace in Tianjing City. Yang Yaozong wanted to get closer and take a look, but was scolded and driven away by the soldiers patrolling here.

Yang Yaozong asked the coachman to take him to Xiao Xizi's residence in Shangjing, and after arriving at the place, Yang Yaozong found that Xiao Xizi's old mansion had already changed. According to Yang Yaozong's inquiry, since Xiao Xizi was abducted, his sister sold her property to find him. Never came back. Yang Yaozong could only lament for Xiao Xizi, with the current underdevelopment of communication, since his sister had left Beijing to look for him in other places, the chances of helping him find his sister were too slim.

After shopping for most of the day, Shangjing City has also been finished, and finally Yang Yaozong asked the coachman to take him to the most prosperous section of Shangjing City and stopped in front of Hongchen Drunken Gate.

At this time, Hongchen was drunk and had just opened the door to welcome guests, and Yang Yaozong got out of the carriage and was greeted by a turtle who was in charge of picking up customers.

"This son looks very raw, it's the first time to come to us Hongchen drunk! What kind of girl does Childe like? Need a small recommendation for you? I am guaranteed to be able to serve you comfortably. Seeing that Yang Yaozong was dressed up, obviously a rich kid, this turtle prince hurriedly entertained enthusiastically.

Yang Yaozong smiled slightly: "I'm here to find your mother Jiang." ”

Gui Gong paused, and then trotted to follow Yang Yaozong with a smile and confirmed: "Childe is looking for our mother?" ”

Yang Yaozong nodded.

"Childe is looking for our mother, but is there something wrong? Mom is busy, I don't know if I have time to entertain the child, if the son is convenient, can I talk to the little one first? The little ones should go to the ward mother. Gui Gong arranged a place for Yang Yaozong in the hall, poured a cup of hot tea, and said respectfully.

Yang Yaozong took out ten taels of silver and handed it to Guigong and said with a smile: "You just need to tell Mother Jiang that there is a son surnamed Yang who is looking for her." “

The turtle took the silver and hurriedly smiled flatteringly: "Okay! Childe, please drink tea here and wait for a while, and the little one will go and pass the word for you. Turtle Gong trotted a few steps and then turned back to Yang Yaozong with a smile and said, "Childe really doesn't need to find a girl to accompany you?" “

Yang Yaozong shook his head and smiled: "No, you can go and spread the word quickly." (To be continued.) )
