Since they set off from Penglai in the early morning of December 14, Yang Zhi and Chang Sanzu have not sat down to eat a meal for eight days, have not wiped their faces seriously, and have not slept with peace of mind. Yang Zhi felt that the days and nights that he was on the verge of life and death during the bloody battle in the desert were not as tiring as these days. Because at that time, there was no other thought in my mind except the word survival. And in the past eight days, while rushing like a madman, my brain is still full of messes, can I not be tired?

He ate and bathed very fast, stopped and thought about it before leading the horse out, and turned back to Xu Wenhan and explained: "Big brother, there is a way to make things happen in people, and things are in the sky. Tomorrow you can go to court as usual, and do what you and I agree tonight. I won't necessarily be back tonight, so don't worry, don't wait for me. I won't show up in Chang'an tomorrow morning, but I'll meet you in the afternoon. Oh, my servant Chang San has been so tired with me these days, you can give me an order before going to court tomorrow, so that he can rest here for half a day with peace of mind. ”

Xu Wenhan knew that he acted decisively but was very organized, and he would not mess around easily, nor would he be verbose, but just nodded silently and agreed.

On this snowy winter night, it is rare to see a pedestrian on the streets of Chang'an. Slowly riding a horse on the street, Yang Zhi was blown by the cold wind, and suddenly felt unspeakably lonely and lonely.

Scenes of interacting with the emperor kept coming to mind, and I asked myself, is he really just busy for himself, so much so that he doesn't enter the house? The fat old man who has always treated him well has a voice and a smile in front of him, can he really ignore his life and death with peace of mind? He knew very well that although he was emotionally difficult to accept Princess Changxiu Zhao Yan for a while, even if the cheap wife could not recognize it, could the child in her belly be ruthlessly disowned? Zhao Yan is not useless, she has done nothing wrong. If she is allowed to stay in Shuiyunguan and suffer, not only will he not look like a man, but he may not even be a human being.

Yang Zhi thought about it carefully, his original attempt to guard the ready-made family business and be a landrich man who was beyond the world and had no quarrel with the world was ridiculously naïve. Since the day he came into this world. It is inseparable from everything that appears in front of you. It is said that studying is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat, and the same is true of life.

There are no absolutes in this world, and there is no fairness at all. Objectively speaking. Is the prince wrong? He just wanted to get what he thought was rightfully his. Success and defeat have been the same since ancient times. Maybe only from Grandpa Mao's "Nian Nujiao. Kunlun" can understand the true meaning: the summer melts, the rivers overflow, and people may be fish and turtles. Who has commented on the merits and crimes of a thousand years?

All the generals who are the emperor's eyes. You must set up your home in the capital, no matter when and where you are fighting, you can't bring your family members, and almost all dynasties have been such a rule. If the old man Shen Zitong had not moved to Chang'an with his family, Shen Chong might not have been able to be promoted to the general of the cavalry, and naturally he would not be able to take on the task of destroying the vanguard of the Tang Dynasty. People's hearts are long, and there are not many ruthless people who can fight to abandon their families and careers, so whether King Ning or King Kang wants to lead their troops to raise troops, I'm afraid it is not so easy.

to a senior general at the level of Zhou Ting. Although he has been fighting for many years, it goes without saying that he has a mansion in Changfang. Yang Zhi had no intention of sneaking into the Zhou Mansion like a thief, so as not to be treated as an assassin and provoke a senseless fight. He has never had anything to do with Zhou Ting, and few people know each other when he wants to come to Zhou's mansion, so what's wrong with knowing each other?

Xu Wenhan has the grace to save his life in Zhou Ting, and it is undoubtedly more convenient to show his signboard: "Xu Xiangye asked for a good prescription for the general, and ordered me to send it overnight." ”

The Zhou family really led Yang Zhi into the front hall without saying a word, and after a while, a young man came out and said suspiciously: "It's getting late at this moment, and it's inconvenient for my father to be sick in bed. Please hand over Xu Xiangye's prescription to you. ”

"I'm sorry, but this prescription must be handed over to the General. Because the prescription is me, and I am the prescription. Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Boxing Zhou Gongzi told Ling Zun: My name is Yang Zhi." ”

"Yang Zhi?! Chungwu Gong? …… Flying Tiger Hou? The young man looked him up and down in shock, nodded again and again, "Yes." Yes, isn't it six or seven points similar to the golden statue in the Martyrs' Shrine? Master Hou, please wait, I will go and report to my father. ”

Yang Zhi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The night is deep, I have no intention of disturbing it more." Please forgive me for being rude, and take me directly to see the general. ”

The father and son of the Zhou family already knew that Zhou Ting's violent illness was caused by poisoning, and Yang Zhi was the brother-in-law of Xu Wenhan, the life-saving benefactor. It is said that this person has been out of Chang'an for a long time on his orders, and a late-night visit must be of great importance. Zhou Gongzi didn't dare to slack off, so he ran a few steps and rushed to the front.

Zhou Ting's age is roughly similar to that of the emperor, and he is stout and stocky. It was the first time for the two to meet, and to Yang Zhi's surprise, Zhou Ting didn't even save the greetings that went through the motions, and he hugged his fists and said with a smile: "The emperor can get a young hero like Feihu Hou, it is really a blessing for Daxia!" Hou Ye came to the humble house late at night, but he came to temporarily replace the general of the forbidden army? ”

Zhou Ting said so directly at the first meeting, which means that he understands everything he should understand. Yang Zhi was also polite: "Exactly." The situation is urgent, and I have taken the liberty of visiting tonight to ask the general to play His Royal Highness King Chen Yue tomorrow and recommend me to temporarily act as the general of the forbidden army. ”

Zhou Ting agreed without hesitation: "Hou Ye has one fight Geng Chao, and the second fight An Guihou, the old man already knows that Hou Ye and Xu Xiangye are both emperors." It doesn't matter why I'm sick, what matters is that Great Xia must have a master of great talent like the emperor! Since the Hou Ye has orders, he should obey them. After I fell ill, I thought I would not be able to afford it, and the first person I thought of taking over was Hou Ye. But I had already proposed the Hou Ye to the emperor a month ago, but I was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there has been no news so far. I told Hou Ye that I had no other intention to inform Hou Ye of this, but I just wanted to ask Hou Ye to pay attention to prevent people with ill intentions from withholding the music without permission! ”

Yang Zhi frowned and said, "Oh? The Great General had already elected me to the Forbidden Army a month ago? If you want to play the chapter without being detained privately, it is not difficult to write it later, and hand it over to my eldest brother ...... before going to court tomorrow, no, just hand it over to Wang Xiangxiang to present it on his behalf. ”

The effect of the concert is the same as that of Wang Yunong, but it can avoid suspicion and block Wei Su's mouth, and Zhou Ting immediately nodded yes. Yang Zhi asked suspiciously: "I see that although the general's face is still gray, his words and actions are no longer hindered. With all due respect, if the general is really like my brothers, no one recognizes anyone except the emperor, wouldn't this generation be superfluous? ”

Zhou Ting was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Although the old man is a martial artist, he has followed the emperor for more than 30 years since he was young. As the saying goes, I have never killed a pig, and I have seen too many pigs running. I know that I can't be the pillars of the country like Xu Xiang and Hou Ye, and I still have the heart to be the one who is willing to be the nail rivet. Hou Ye is famous all over the world, but the world knows very little about the old man. My life was picked up by Xu Xiangmiao's hand for rejuvenation, when to be sick or not, when the disease is good or not, it is up to Xu Xiang and Hou Ye to have the final say. ”

Yang Zhideng suddenly realized that Xu Wenhan had actually concealed himself intentionally or unintentionally! Let Zhou Ting temporarily stay out of the matter in the name of being bedridden, not only to protect this veteran who is loyal to the emperor, but also to lay down a chess piece that wins surprisingly at a critical moment!

Zhou Ting naturally put him in the same camp as Yang Zhi and others, and suddenly asked: "The old man has something unclear, and I ask the Hou Ye to make it clear." If I can't return to heaven this time, I don't know what the Hou Ye will do? ”

This question is very realistic, which shows that Zhou Ting has not thought of a way out. It can be seen that no matter how loyal he is to the emperor, he is not the kind of saint who is stupid. Of course, Yang Zhi would not just say that he would pat his ass and leave, and go to the Changdao Islands off the coast of Shandong to be his local emperor. He smiled and said, "Only everyone knows the destiny of heaven, and there is no time to think about it for the time being." If the prince succeeds this time, I don't know what the general will do? ”

Zhou Ting's answer did not match Yang Zhi's expected foolishness, which made him extremely embarrassed: "The emperor's sons are all good, whoever is strong will assist him, in short, the people can't be harmed, and Daxia can't be chaotic." ”

Who said that honest people who seem to be honest will definitely lack heart? Zhou Ting's choice can be said to be a loss for both public and private, no wonder he and Xu Wenhan have a bit of a similar smell!

Yang Zhi couldn't help but sigh secretly, who can tell what the criteria for distinguishing wisdom from slippery are in the end? The purpose for which he came has been accomplished, and he will not stay long.

The visit to Zhou Ting was easier than Yang Zhi originally imagined, but he hesitated on the way to find Geng Chao according to the established itinerary. Geng Chao's father and son were both fanatical and militant elements of Great Xia's external expansion, and as early as fifteen years ago, when the emperor was appointed crown prince, he clearly stood on the side of King Ning. Yang Zhi wasn't worried about anything else, relying on Geng Chao's pin-nose-sized heart and eyes, could he listen to what he said? It's almost now, could it be that in the middle of the night, I still came to the door to fight with that cautious fool?

Sometimes people's psychological factors are very subtle, and if you can't do something in one go, you may not be able to pull it down. Yang Zhi thought about it, if the crown prince succeeded to the throne as emperor in advance this time, Geng Chao would only be more uncomfortable. If he wasn't hopelessly stupid, he should have gone to the prince to fight hard, instead of going to Yang Zhi like a mad dog.

The impression of the name Yang Zhi from the Geng Mansion is really not ordinarily profound, and there is no need to pretend to be a ghost and pretend to be mysterious. In fact, before Yang Zhi walked to the door of Geng's mansion and had time to tie his horse, the sleepy doorman who was cowering in the door looked up, and suddenly a spirit bounced up: "You are the Flying Tiger Marquis?" My major general said that you would come to the door a few years ago, and it was really like a god! ”
