It has been more than a year since Zhang Xingcheng got married. Although with Du Shiyi's temper, it is not a problem to generously give him a house in Huangshui City, but because Zhang Xingju is in charge of the secretary's position, it is inconvenient to live outside. And Du Shiyi only has Wang Rong and a son and a daughter, and there are as many empty houses in the backyard of the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion, so he chose a quiet two-entry courtyard adjacent to Yuwenzhen's residence in the east for Zhang Xing and Yuwenmo to live in. The back is the inner bed of the couple, and the corridor rooms on both sides of the front head, the east is Zhang Xing's study, and the west is where the two scholars live.

Living and moving to the body, raising Yi Qi, Zhang Xing came from a humble background, but he began to follow Du Shiyi as the secretary in charge from Daizhou, and it was still a premeditated secret to Liangjing, and then Longyou was still the secretary, which was no longer the scene of the fledgling at the beginning of the year. When he first arrived in Shanzhou, Longyou, he was ordered by Du Shiyi to visit various families, deliberately talked loudly to show vulgarity, easily won the challenger in the big school field, and won the Taozhou Thorn Shi Luo Qun in the lobby, although it was not as powerful as Wang Zhonghe's great military power in breaking the Tubo soldiers and horses, and it was not as good as Duan Xingchen's contribution to helping and pacifying Qinzhou, but he was deeply respected in and out.

Therefore, as soon as he sat on the main seat of the study, Feng Changqing, who was brought in, saw that he had a dark complexion, a burly and powerful figure, especially the expression of non-anger and self-authority that Gu Pan revealed, and suddenly felt a little awe-inspiring. After being hung in the small hall for three hours, even if his patience was exhausted, even if he was good, he had already been indignant. But it was not Wang Zhonghei who received him, not Du Shiyi, the envoy of Longyou Jiedu, but this young man who didn't know who Lu Dao was, and after his initial surprise, he was inevitably a little unconvinced. So, after the servant had retreated, he had saluted, and then stood there silent.

Zhang Xing judged his age, he was a few years older, and his experience was deeper and broader than that of Feng Changqing, who lived in the Western Regions, so the other party didn't speak, so he didn't hurry and opened the case file in his hand. He was a person who was extremely able to calm down, but he forgot about the person in front of him for a moment, and he kept commenting and commenting, just paying full attention.

In this atmosphere that was so quiet that there was almost no sound, Feng Changqing, who was standing there, gradually lost his breath. He originally wanted this person to meet him, always because of the two big people he saw today, who was interested in him, but he never thought that he would treat him so coldly. After taking turns to change the left and right feet as support, and persevered for two quarters of an hour, he finally couldn't help but shout: "Dare to ask this Lang Jun ......"

"Huh?" Zhang Xing raised his head from the ruler in his hand, and after glancing at Feng Changqing, he dropped his things, and then asked with a smile, "You are in front of the Shanzhou Governor's Mansion today, and you saw the grand occasion of the marshal and General Wang leaving the mansion, so you asked General Wang to make contributions for a while, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Not bad." After Feng Changqing squeezed out these two words, because of the cold reception again and again before, he had a faint guess in his heart, even if he was disappointed, he still planned to fight hard, "Could it be that General Du Dashuai Wang feels that he is ugly and not enough to be obedient?" ”

Zhang Xing didn't answer directly, but asked in a good time: "Do you know who are the two Lang Jun who walked with you from Anxi to Huangshui in Shanzhou?" ”

Wang Changling and Gao Shi are both unique in poetry, and they talk about Qingqi, but it is common for scholars to travel to the Western Regions in this era, and Feng Changqing is not very enthusiastic about the way of poetry, so although he can talk to the two, he doesn't think much about their identities. When he was introduced to the Governor's Mansion earlier, he and Wang Changling Gao Shi were placed separately, and he was already faintly aware of the difference.

What is a distinguished guest? Why are Wang Changling and Gao Shi honored guests?

So, he secretly turned his heart sideways, and simply asked bluntly: "Wang Langjun and Gao Langjun have been with me for many days, only talking about one ancestral home in Jingxian County and one ancestral home in Jinyang, lonely and poor since childhood, could it be that they are accusing me, but it turns out that they are the children of Guijie?" ”

This person is a bit cynical and looks down on those noble children. Zhang Xing made such a judgment in his heart, but he didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile: "Wang Langjun and Gao Langjun are indeed lonely and poor since childhood. Wang Langjun is self-sufficient and never stops studying, so in the fifteenth year of Kaiyuan, he was awarded the school scholar, and Gao Langjun's poems are famous in Jinghua, and Wang Langjun is a close friend. Taking advantage of the expiration of Wang Langjun's term of office and waiting for the election of officials, he traveled to the Western Regions together, and Du Dashuai said that he was still pouted. Therefore, old friends meet, and tonight Du Dashuai invited General Wang to accompany him, and everyone had to drink a few more glasses. ”

It turned out that no one paid attention to him tonight because Du Shiyi and Wang Zhongsi were accompanying the guests, and they were accompanied by Wang Changling and Gao Shi, who came to Shanzhou with him along the way! And I didn't expect that Wang Changling, a guy who was almost hunted down by Hu Shang because of the **** lawsuit, was once named in the Jinshi and the first gold list, and Gao Shi is not an unknown person!

So far, Feng Changqing is not to mention how angry and bitter he is. It's no wonder that he has been in Anxi for many years, although he has studied hard from his grandfather, and he has seen a lot, but all he sees is a majestic general riding a tall horse, and his heart is envious of the scenery of this big husband on this horse is no longer a day. On the contrary, the scholars who read books can not bring three or five servants, and they still like to talk about it on weekdays, as if the whole world is really theirs, but once they meet the generals, they will suffer immediate losses. Even my grandfather, when he thought of his experience of being exiled for crime in the past, once said to him that he was useless as a scholar!

Zhang Xing observed his words, and couldn't see what Feng Changqing was thinking at this moment. Therefore, he said calmly: "Before General Wang left, he said to the marshal that his attendants do not seek to read and write, but to be brave and unstoppable. Whoever asks for it, be strong and set an example for the armies, and if you ask for help, you will surely give in. ”

If Wang Zhongsi directly said that it was because he was not good-looking, or even said that he was a little ugly, so he refused to accept it, Feng Changqing would still be able to say something impassioned. But now that Wang Zhongsi is not there, the person who saw him in front of him took out Wang Zhonghe's reason, and it was so high-sounding that he couldn't refute it. After being speechless for a while, he couldn't help but ask: "Since it is to convey General Wang's words, I don't know who Langjun is?" ”

Zhang Xing smiled and showed his teeth, and said casually: "In Xialong, the right section is the secretary, Zhang Xing." ”

"Secretary of Longyouhei!"

As soon as these five words came out, Feng Changqing knew that the Tao was broken. Although Zhang Xing is not as famous as Du Shiyi and Wang Zhonghe, he can't stand up to being a civil official, but his skills are not inferior to military generals, and his complexion is dark, so the name of the black secretary of Longyou is rumored in Helong, but how can I be happy when I hear this reputation? What finally made him breathe a sigh of relief was that such an important person in the Longyou Jiedu Embassy heard this folk nickname, and it was Ha Lu Ha Da Lu who laughed.

"Secretary Longyouhei? I didn't expect that even you, a visitor from Anxi, would know my reputation! After Zhang Xing laughed, he said happily, "Wang Langjun Gao Langjun truthfully told Du Dashuai that your talent has temperament, and Du Dashuai is a person, and he has always disliked leaving talents." Therefore, since you have recommended yourself to General Wang and have the heart to make meritorious contributions, then, if you have a long-term strategy, you can speak up now! ”

At this moment, Feng Changqing can be said to be extremely disappointed by a heavy blow, and now a ray of light suddenly appeared, and he was suddenly refreshed. But when the opportunity came, it was still a different opportunity from recommending himself to Wang Zhonghei, so he had to calm down and carefully consider what he should say next.

This night, when Zhang Xing returned to his wife's bedroom, it was already in the treetops of the moon. The hot water for bathing was still prepared in the room, and when he comfortably changed into clothes and arrived in front of the bed, he saw Yu Wenmo reading a book under the light. This scene is what he sees every time he returns late, no matter how late it is, his wife will lie on the head of the bed like this and wait for him, and this behavior undoubtedly makes him who is used to living alone moved and ironed. When he took two steps forward, Yu Wenmo was shocked, and hurriedly dropped the scroll in his hand and got up to greet him.

"It's all said, if it's too late, you don't have to wait for me."

"Zhang Lang is obviously studying outside, but I am resting early alone, how can there be such a reason for being a wife?" Yu Wenmo heard that Zhang Xing was meeting people in the study, and thought it would only be a matter of a while, but he didn't expect it to drag on for so long, and he couldn't help but be a little curious at the moment, "Who can let you see this for a long time?" ”

"It's an interesting person who followed Wang Shaobo Gaofu from Anxi to Huangshui City in Shanzhou today." Zhang Xing smiled slightly, and then said lightly, "After I talked with him for a long time, I said that this person would be left from me." ”

"Huh?" Yu Wenmo was taken aback for a moment, and almost didn't think about it before asking, "Zhang Lang, wouldn't this be too abrupt?" Since you leave this person, you should know that he is talented, and he is not recommended to the handsome, but let him follow you, if the handsome man knows the way, will he think that you are ......" The last four words are to criticize her husband's character, she suddenly hesitated.

"Are you afraid that the handsome will think that I am jealous?" Seeing his wife's regretful look of knowing that he had lost his words, Zhang Xing couldn't help but laugh, grabbed his wife's shoulders and fell on the bed with him, and he said word by word, "I saw him on the orders of the marshal." The handsome man told me that if this person is really talented, let him follow me to observe his conduct, and then test his talents. ”

Seeing that his wife was relieved, and then he was angry that he didn't explain his words, Zhang Xing had to coax his mother to be happy, but when the clouds finally cleared and the rain dispersed, and he fell asleep contentedly, he had an irrepressible thought.

To say that although he has practiced martial arts since he was a child, he has also read the scriptures and history, and the word Zhongjun is almost engraved in his bones. However, when Du Shiyi was in Daizhou, he didn't think it yet, but after arriving in the capital, he really realized that from the harem to the court, the shadow of the party struggle is everywhere, and today's son is not the rumored son of heaven who is wise and omnipotent! He has never been in the field because he was promoted by Du Shiyi, which is why he has his current status, if there is no Du Shiyi, even if he is now the son-in-law of Yuwen's family, he will also be beaten back to his original form.

Therefore, even when he heard that Du Shiyi asked someone to develop gunpowder, he immediately asked for secret, and even kept silent in front of his wife. And today, from Du Shiyi's treatment of this unattractive Feng Changqing, he once again felt Du Shiyi's kindness to him. Even if Longyou, who has always been humane and a rare talent, takes office, Du Shiyi still often asks him and Yan Zhenqing Duan Xingchen to visit the countryside to see if there are any missing wise men, if there is no Du Shiyi's attitude of not leaving talents in the countryside, not only him, how many people will still be like pearls covered in dust and buried in the dust?
