Chapter 207: Going to work
As the saying goes, when buying a pig or a dog, the owner has to nod his head and speak. It's okay that Zhao Yan is the daughter of ordinary people, but she is the emperor's daughter. In the marriage of this era, the principle of respect is the words of the matchmaker of the parents, like Yang Zhi and Zhao Yan are confused and unclear, how can the father be called casually? Now that Zhao Yan has a child in her belly, and people have also entered the door of the Yang family, admit it or not, how can you admit that it is your royal business, he Yang Zhi is in a hurry?
In his previous life, there was a world-renowned brother Saddam, and his two sons-in-law killed him when he said he would kill him. It is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, and if Yang Zhi does not have the confidence that the emperor has to use it and cannot use it, it is conceivable how the end will be. There is no father and son in the heavenly family, let alone Weng son-in-law? Talking about family affection with the emperor is really a very extravagant and naΓ―ve thing, and Yang Zhi does not have too many illusions about the relationship with the emperor's new son-in-law.
The emperor put on a posture of annoyance and anger, and Yang Zhi couldn't help but get goosebumps. He has always been thick-skinned, and he grinned: "Emperor, people know that this family affair is probably not so easy to recognize, and you and I should have already taken care of this section." There is a saying that if you don't speak first, who dares to speak first? β
When the emperor saw that he had a rogue face that listened to and respected, he still didn't mean to change his words, and said angrily: "You are cunning and cunning, and you have betrayed Yan'er's sincerity to you!" Anyway, I'm Yeon's father after all? Recognize! I have said that I have admitted it, who dares to say half a word? β
The emperor took the initiative to recognize this son-in-law who didn't make him feel at ease, but he was completely forced to push the boat down the river, and Yang Zhi was not very appreciative. The so-called ethics and etiquette in this world have always served the rulers, and Zhao Yan's future identity is not yet known. Yang Zhi never expected the emperor to slap himself, and he was willing to risk the world's condemnation to openly recognize him as a colt, and the fact is not uncommon for him.
Forcibly holding back his heart full of numbness, he smiled and said: "The emperor is the emperor, no matter when, no matter who you are, you are the emperor of Great Xia." Since you are willing, then I will call your father emperor in private. Father, it's not early, so it's better for you to take a nap. β
The emperor sighed: "The emperor is also a human being, the emperor is not. It's so good! If I have a son like you, I would like to reduce my life span by ten years! I can't be honest if I want to recognize you as a half-child, I can only say that it's better than nothing. β
With a tired face, he closed his eyes and waved his hand: "I want to be alone for a while." Oh, in the next few years, when you are employing people, I will not win people's love, so I will return Liu Er to you at this moment. Liu Er has been escorted by you for many days, and he is very effective, and I will not forget his merits. When you go back, you write a recommended piece and submit it, and I will reward him with a martial arts background, and he will still stay with you to listen to it. You rest and go. β
Yang Zhi originally thought that the emperor would take advantage of the situation to accept Liu Er as a guard in the inner court. I was thinking about how to get it back, and I heard that I was in the middle of it. He came out lightly to cover the door, beckoned Liu Er, who had been watching and was on guard not far away, to come over, and followed him into the next room.
The next door is as spacious as the emperor's room, although the furnishings are also elegant. Underneath it, there is obviously a little less luxury. To put it bluntly, it is to highlight the supremacy of the emperor and reflect different grades, which shows that Duke Qin took a lot of brains when arranging the secret room.
Yang Zhi greeted Liu Er, who was full of excitement, and sat down, and said bluntly: "Brother Liu. The emperor has promised to give a generous reward. You must already know what the situation is now. You have worked hard for many days, but you must not slack off. The emperor plans to restore the throne tomorrow, and there will be great changes in Chang'an City tonight. Just in case, you immediately rushed to my Flying Tiger Marquis Mansion, and cooperated with Brother Chang to protect my old man and two ladies. β
Solemnly swooped. said: "Please Brother Liu bothered!" After I help the emperor to restore the throne, you and I will drink and explain everything in detail. β
Liu Er was originally a professional killer in the rivers and lakes, but because he voted for Yang Zhi, he suddenly accompanied the emperor, and he was as excited as sleepwalking for days. Hearing Yang Zhi say this, he knew that he could not only wash the old bottom, but also have the rush to become a minister and fight for a wife, and the more ecstatic he became. didn't say much more, knocked a few times and led the way away.
Yang Zhi saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but laugh suddenly: Fame and fortune really have endless magic! As the ultimate bidder of high-ranking officials, the emperor does have a unique advantage in recruiting talents. I don't know how many people are obsessed with fame among the Seven Joys? Anyway, I'm afraid it's not very reliable to stay around, and it's better to let them out to be officials if they have a chance, and they all say that they are from their own subordinates, but that's all for later.
In fact, from this moment on, Yang Zhi's level of bodyguard can be regarded as an official post. A few more years for the emperor to live to maintain the status quo was undoubtedly the most beneficial for Yang Zhi to gain time to fill his wings. Therefore, although the emperor regards his life as extremely valuable, Yang Zhi does not dare to be arrogant and takes the emperor's personal safety lightly.
It's ugly now, and it's only an hour away. The emperor was so worried that he was not sleepy, and Yang Zhi also had no intention of sleeping again. What the emperor said is not bad, the fish and dragons are mixed, the open gun is easy to dodge, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent. For the sake of caution, it is absolutely necessary to carry a lethal long-range attack weapon with you in such a situation. went out and summoned the old servant of the Qin clan who was on duty in the secret room, and asked him to prepare two sets of dark colored clothes, two pieces of armor and a single knife, and asked him to take the nine-stone strong bow and arrow bag that no one used in the Qin Mansion martial arts field.
The few old servants of the Qin Mansion who were waiting in the secret room looked like they were old, but it was conceivable that they were not idle people. Not only must you gain the double trust of the emperor and the Duke of Qin, but you must also have outstanding martial arts. Yang Zhi's request was not difficult to do, the Qin Mansion had ready-made ones, and the old servant quickly sent all kinds of things over. Yang Zhixun put on a dark robe with a protective cover, carried a long bow and waist and wore a single sword, and armed himself neatly. There was no bronze mirror in the room, and I couldn't see what I looked like. But he can fully imagine that this outfit must not be related to the classic image of the silly boy Guo Jing, and it seems more reliable to say that he is a nondescript assassin or killer.
At this time, it was less than half an hour before Yinshi, Yang Zhi directly skipped the pomp and circumstance of knocking on the door to see, pushed open the door of the emperor's room, handed over the armor and robes, and said, "Please change your father's clothes." β
The emperor, who was still stunned, was stunned for a moment, raised his head and stared for a moment, and changed his clothes and armor according to his words. The emperor knows the soldiers and is warlike, so he is naturally a knowledgeable person: "The brave generals who can open the nine-stone hard bow in Great Xia have only a few people in the decades since the founding of the country. However, with this strong bow and serving as my personal guard, you Yang Zhi is still the first. I've heard that you once had the high idea that you can't kill people with anything at hand, and I've never seen you so solemn as you are today. - It's just that the outfit you prepared for me is a little bit more obscure. β
Yang Zhizheng said: "There is a way to be cautious, and it is more difficult to defend than to attack." My father didn't know that the land of Sanqin adhered to the ancient style, and the armor and clothing of the military and civilians were still black. The dark robe is the color of public clothing, and it is not conspicuous in the crowd, so it will not easily become a clear target. The restoration of the father and the emperor cannot afford to be lost, and now that it is time to see the dagger, who dares to guarantee that the prince will not fight to the death? Who can guarantee that there will be no mad outlaws among his henchmen? After my father openly appeared, in order to ensure your absolute safety, I must not leave my left and right, and I will not let go of the fight. If you carry this hard bow with you, you can rely on the strength of the bow and kill the enemy from a hundred and ten zhang away. β
The emperor tidied up his clothes and nodded with satisfaction: "It's rare that you are so attentive, and I will listen to you." β
"Desperate to the death?" He gritted his teeth and said with a cruel smile: "I don't have the courage or the ability to measure that rebel. My father and son have been fighting secretly for more than a month, and it's finally time to see the real chapter under their hands! Let's go! You go and call an old servant to lead the way, and I will meet the rebel for a while! β
At the critical juncture when the emperor's father and son were in a showdown, the capital that the prince could really get his hands on was nothing more than Wei Su, Zhao Tianyang, Zhang Tianxing, Shen Chong and others. Wei Su is naΓ―ve with illusions, Zhao Tian's eye-catching master is too famous, and Zhang Tianxing is restrained by the coach Zhou Ting, not only is it very unlikely that he will mobilize the forbidden army to cooperate with the prince, but it is difficult to predict whether he can survive tonight under Geng's men. Compared with the 200,000 elite forbidden troops under the command of Zhou Ting, who were loyal to the emperor, the prince's party immersed in the sweet dream of Huangliang was not even a rabble. It's like a little kid who grabs a stick of firewood in his hand, and is ambitious to challenge a group of wolves armed to the teeth, and he doesn't know that he is dying.
The power comparison between the father and son is not at the same level at all, and the emperor is murderous, but there is actually no lack of fuss. Yang Zhi knew that although being the emperor's personal bodyguard was indeed not an easy task, he had a clear eye, and he had words, so why didn't he show off for the emperor?
The emperor only said that he would call an old servant to lead the way, but he did not say where he was going. The old servant is in the front, Yang Zhi is in the middle, and the emperor is at the end. The old servant who was summoned did not say a word, but buried his head in leading the way. The emperor and Zhou Ting have already had a secret agreement, and they must have already moved at this moment. It has been nearly three hours since Yang Zhi entered the secret room, and there is no way to know what the situation is outside and where the emperor is going to appear, so he is very interested in not asking a word.
Qin Gong once reminded Yang Zhi that there were four exits to the underground secret room, and two of them led directly to the outside of Chang'an City. Yang Zhi thought about it with his toes and knew that one of the two exits in Chang'an City must be connected to a certain place in the palace, and the other must be located in a place with convenient transportation and easy to get out quickly and hide his tracks.
The three of them walked in the labyrinthine secret room for half an hour, about seven or eight miles, the old servant who led the way stopped at the corner of an inconspicuous corridor and groped for a while, and suddenly heard a familiar roar, and a stainless steel door as thick as the entrance slowly opened, and a section of steps appeared in front of him.
The old servant dodged to the side, bowed and said, "Emperor, Lord Hou, please." The villain stops here, and someone outside will answer it. β
It is after the ugly hour in the early morning, and it is the quietest time before dawn. The old servant claimed that someone outside answered, and Yang Zhi's ears and eyes were far more powerful than ordinary people, but he couldn't hear the slightest movement. What the hell is the hell out there?
