However, Xu Ji also knows very well that he is just hiding for a while, but he can't hide for a lifetime, Liu Hong's attitude is unclear, but this does not mean that these two forces in Luoyang City will despise themselves, Jian Shuo is an obvious signal, no matter what role Xu Ji is, it doesn't matter, the key is that this is the guy brought by Jian Shuo himself, which is worth their temptation and even spend time and energy to ask Xu Ji to work for them.

But Xu Ji is not ignorant, he knows that his participation in the game between these two forces is almost an act of seeking death for him, aside from Liu Hong's disposition of him, he said that his current ability is just an ant in Luoyang City, and the self-righteous attempt to fight with these behemoths is just to seek his own death, and more importantly, whether it is a relative or a eunuch, after all, he must rely on the emperor, and now in this situation, the emperor is just a symbol.

It is true that Luoyang's decree is almost a paper statement for Yizhou and Jingzhou, and the local officials have never taken the emperor's decree seriously.

However, Xu Ji has no time to sigh about this, his fate and future are as uncertain as this Han Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty is already on the verge of death and decay, but Xu Ji is not that kind of existence. With this kind of complicated thoughts, Xu Ji took Dian Wei, and the two of them walked around Luoyang aimlessly for most of the day, Luoyang is the imperial capital after all, although it has not been seen for most of the day, Xu Ji is also tired, thinking that there should be no trouble for someone to find him today. So I returned to the West Garden.

It's just that there is still an uninvited guest waiting for him here. The West Garden was originally used as a garrison, so no one else would come here. When Xu Ji led his troops to arrive, he also directly moved everything with the army into the West Garden, so there were garrisons around the West Garden. At this time, there was a rather luxuriously decorated carriage outside the West Garden, and there was a person standing outside the carriage, Xu Ji knew that this was a eunuch as soon as he saw it, his face was white but he was a little rich, and his fair skin was a little too delicate.

The attitude of the person who came was quite arrogant, but it seemed that the master behind him had explained, because although Xu Ji could see that the other party was quite disdainful of him, he did not show it, and the words were quite respectful: "Hello Lord Postmaster, my master ordered me to come and ask the Lord to come over the house." ”

Xu Ji nodded lightly. But there are some doubts in his heart, if the person who can call Xiaohuangmen is not a relative of the emperor, it must be the top ten permanent servants, Xu Ji really doesn't remember that he has an old relationship with this group of people, so Xu Ji opened his mouth and asked: "Dare to ask who is the adult of your family?" ”

The expression on Xiao Huangmen's face was a little proud: "It is Zhang Rang, who is often serving today." Xu Ji was stunned, but then he smiled bitterly, this is not a small role, there have been rumors in the market, Liu Hong, the faint king, even calls him his father, this middle servant can now be described as a monstrous power. He Jin's power has been greatly reduced due to the Yellow Turban incident, and now Zhang has made the prestige of the Yizhong Friends Party unparalleled for a while, Xu Ji really can't afford to provoke this guy.

So Xu Ji also had to go to see Zhang Rang, although he still didn't know what Lu Dao, a powerful permanent attendant, was looking for him. However, Xu Ji always had a bad premonition, and this time I am afraid that there will be no good meeting, and there will be no good banquet.

Although Zhang Rang is a eunuch, he is an official residence after all. So he doesn't live in the palace, and Zhang Rang's mansion is really not very close to the West Garden. The carriage had been sitting for half an hour, but it still hadn't stopped. Moreover, this little yellow door with him stopped Dian Wei from accompanying him, and he couldn't help but be a little worried when he went alone to meet the rumored Chang Shi Lord.

It wasn't until Xu Ji almost couldn't help but want to speak that the carriage finally stopped, and Xiao Huangmen opened the door of the carriage and said to Xu Ji: "Lord Postmaster, we have arrived." Xu Ji heard the words and looked over, only to see that this was a high-rise building that stretched for several miles, red bricks and green tiles, carved railings and painted walls, and the degree of luxury even exceeded that of the palace, Xu Ji couldn't help but be shocked, this Zhang Rang was really a little bold, and dared to build a more luxurious mansion than the palace in Luoyang City, this is obviously an arrogant move, and Zhang Rang's purpose to meet him here is self-evident, if he does not serve it, I am afraid that he will become the nourishment of a certain exotic flower and grass in Zhang Rang's garden.

From the gorgeous and abnormal entrance to the place where Zhang Rang saw himself, it didn't seem to be close, so everything he saw along the way was a big opener for Xu Ji, but this luxurious scene brought Xu Ji more vigilance, the more polite Zhang Rang was to himself, the greater the trouble, and now it seems that he is already in a catastrophe.

Xu Ji still had mixed feelings in his heart, but the little yellow door leading the way in front of him stopped, Xu Ji looked up, only to see a side hall in front of him, it was already nightfall, the lights in the room were a little dim, Xu Ji's heart was gradually a little relaxed, Zhang Rang still didn't take him too important after all, otherwise he would not have been placed in the side hall to see him. However, Xu Ji immediately smiled a little self-deprecatingly, he was just a superintendent of the post, how could he be worthy of Zhang Rang's grand reception? Thinking of this, Xu Ji was relaxed, and seeing the door open, Xu Ji also walked in indifferently.

There is only a small lamp lit in the huge hall, and there is only a common snack in Yingchuan and a pot of warm wine on the desk, and there is a person with a rich face and excellent maintenance sitting on the plate opposite the door, because he doesn't need to, so he can't see his age, but Xu Ji knows very well that this must be to see his own Zhang Rang.

Xu Ji saluted respectfully, no matter what, this eunuch is a high authority after all, Xu Ji saluted and said: "Lord Chang Shi summoned his subordinates to come, what is the matter?" The man in the hall raised his head and replied with an inexplicable smile: "Why should Wen Lie be nervous, the old man just wants to chat with a fellow villager and catch up with the old days." ”

Xu Ji was stunned when he heard this, the term "fellow villager" can be regarded as a relatively close relationship in the Han Dynasty, and the township party is often the easiest relationship to form, so Xu Ji couldn't help but be a little surprised when Zhang Rang said the word "fellow villager": "Oh? Chang Shi is also from Yingchuan? Zhang Rang smiled and said: "The world thinks Zhang Rang is a disaster, and the villagers naturally dare not let alone say that Zhang Rang is, but I don't need to say anything." Zhang Rang is indeed a native of Yingchuan. This was a little sad, and Xu Ji could also hear the helplessness in Zhang Rang's words. But it's more of Zhang Rang's arbitrariness, that's a kind of even if the world thinks I'm in trouble? What if the township party doesn't recognize me? Zhang Rang is Zhang Ran. I don't need others to make irresponsible comments, and I don't care about other people's feelings.

To be honest, in Xu Ji's opinion, this has both the momentum of a big husband and inevitably a little sad, and it is not easy for Zhang Rang to have such an imposing momentum for a eunuch. Since it is the township party, Xu Ji is relieved, it is almost impossible for Zhang Rang to embarrass himself with this relationship, although Zhang Rang does not care about these, but if Zhang Rang really has no feeling, he will never mention it.

Xu Ji walked in front of Zhang Rang and sat down, looked at the side dishes on the table and said with a smile: "I don't want the permanent servant to prepare these, the subordinates ......" Xu Ji said that Zhang Rang raised his hand to signal him to stop. Then he smiled and said: "Wen Lie, you and I are not stupid people, Ming people don't say secret words, presumably Wen Lie must be curious why I am looking for you, right?" Xu Ji secretly moved in his heart and immediately knew that this was about to get down to business, so Xu Ji just nodded and replied: "I am really curious, Xu Ji is just Chen Liuyi's post, and it seems that it has nothing to do with the friendship of the permanent servant, besides." The attendant must have known that his subordinates were guilty of sin, but I really don't know why the attendant summoned me. "Let's just look at Zhang Rang.

Zhang Rang replied with a smile: "Wen Lie doesn't know anything, I also said one or two things about Wen Lie's ability to become the post supervisor at the beginning, otherwise with Zhu Jun's temper, what friends can he have who can speak for you in front of the saint?" Xu Ji finally understood when he heard this. In this way, Zhang Rang's so-called old relationship with himself is really reasonable, after all, his official position was obtained by this Chang Shi for himself, but Xu Ji was a little strange in this way: "Oh? Wen Lie didn't know about this section yet. But why did Chang Shi say something for Wen Lie, who he didn't know? Xu Ji smiled, but his slightly narrowed eyes were already showing a color that was not calm. Zhang Rang didn't look at Xu Ji, but poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly before saying, "Of course, it wasn't because of Wen Lie that he said it." I tried my best to talk to all the poor men from Yingchuan, but unfortunately only Wen Lie was able to come to Luoyang among these people. Hearing this, Xu Ji's heart immediately trembled, and finally came to Luoyang? What does this mean exactly? Is it a blessing or a curse to be able to come to Luoyang?

But Zhang Rang didn't mention this anymore, but instead said: "Don't talk about this, I came to you today to tell you that you don't have to worry about you getting into trouble in Chenliu, the Holy Lord has other arrangements for you, you just have to wait." Also, don't get too close to He Jin, that butcher is only afraid that he doesn't have any good intentions, if possible, you should stay away from the other people in the Ten Standing Servants, as for Jian Shuo, I think this person is indeed feasible, but unfortunately I am not compatible with this person. After that, he looked up at Xu Ji with a smile and added a sentence: "Wen Lie, you are the person I am most optimistic about for many years, I hope you can go further, even farther than me." ”

Xu Ji was immediately shocked when he heard this, he was really afraid, Zhang Rang's words meant nothing more than to keep himself away from He Jin, but this is not the point, Zhang Rang's most important sentence is the most important thing, Zhang Rang's status as a eunuch has almost reached the limit, if he wants to go further than him, what else can he be? Where is He Jin? No, Xu Ji could hear the meaning of Zhang Rang's words, Zhang Rang was referring to the seat where Liu Hong was sitting, and the status he coveted was the so-called Ninety-Five. If it weren't for being a eunuch, Xu Ji would have definitely rebelled against Zhang Ran.

Seeing Xu Ji's look of surprise, Zhang Rang smiled instead: "Why should Wen Lie be pretentious? Have you ever had this emperor in your eyes? How can a mediocre and incompetent person be worthy to sit on the throne? If it weren't for his kindness to me, how could I let He Jin catch Ma Yuanyi? ”

As soon as he said this, Xu Ji felt that his world seemed to have changed, who was Ma Yuanyi? Maybe many people don't know what kind of character this guy is, but if you talk about the Yellow Turban, it is naturally well known, and the Yellow Turban's hasty move was because Ma Yuanyi was captured by He Jin and leaked the news, so the Yellow Turban turned into a rogue before it really became a trend, but Zhang Rang said that he deliberately made He Jin capture Ma Yuanyi, what is the explanation for this?

Seeing the more and more surprised look on Xu Ji's face, Zhang Ling smiled even more happily, as if this was his fun, and then he poured a glass of wine and drank it all, and then picked up a handkerchief and wiped his mouth and said, "Is Wen Lie surprised?" This is not good, those who become big things should be pampered and not shocked, Wen Lie still needs to be sharpened. But that's understandable. To tell you the truth, when Ci Ming Gong mentioned you to me, he said that you seemed to have foreseen this. That doesn't seem to be the case now. ”

Xu Ji's face changed: "Ci Ming Gong? Could it be Xun Liulong? Zhang Rang smiled: "Yes." ”

Xu Ji finally figured everything out at this time, and when he was in Yingyin, his observation of the situation found that the families in Yingchuan seemed to be planning something led by the Xun family. After that, there was a large-scale Yellow Turban preaching, Xu Ji didn't know the connection between the two at the time, but now he fully understands that the relationship between Xun Shu and Zhang Rang is really extraordinary, and Xun Shuang is Yingyin who only returned two years ago, and it is said that he has been avoiding the shore of the Han River because of the party's sake, and now it seems that this is not the case. And now one thing can be confirmed, the so-called Zhang Jiao wants to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, which is just a substitute, and Zhang Jiao is just a pawn of Zhang Rang. The person who really wanted to take the throne was the eunuch leader in front of him, who didn't seem to be a threat.

Xu Ji couldn't help but feel a little chilled, this guy's chess game is too big, the layout is so big that it simply subverts Xu Ji's imagination, Zhang Rang's chess game has no victory or defeat at all, and there is not even an opponent, he is just playing by himself, and what a terrible existence is such a person? How would such a person be willing to be just a eunuch?

Seeing the doubts on Xu Ji's face, Zhang Rang smiled, but his expression was full of hideousness: "Wen Lie, you must not know the way, right?" At the beginning, I came to Luoyang thousands of miles to realize my ideals. I hope to be born with my own ability and brain, it is this powerful person in Luoyang who has swept my dignity to the ground, and I am even more forced to enter the palace after the last resort. Now that I, Zhang Rang, am already a human being, I can be whatever I want in this world. I just want the 400-year-old Guozuo of the Han Dynasty to be buried with my dignity! ”

This is a madman, Xu Ji's only thought at this time is this, Zhang Rang's psychological distortion far exceeded Xu Ji's expectations. But Xu Ji didn't dislike Zhang Rang very much, but more sympathy and pity. The so-called poor people must have something to hate, and those who are hateful must have miserable suffering. Zhang Rang is a hateful person, but how many people know the pathetic suffering in his heart? Xu Ji didn't know if he would be able to survive if he had suffered the same thing, but Zhang Rang did, although he had lived to this day with hatred and ambition, Xu Ji felt more sadness.

And after Zhang Rang finished venting at this time, he also said to Xu Ji with a cold face: "Today's matter is just today, and there will be no such thing after today." The threat in the tone is self-evident, but even if Zhang Rang doesn't say that Xu Ji has no intention of saying it everywhere, everything Zhang Rang said is too unbelievable, and too scary, saying that others will only treat themselves as nonsense, and more importantly, since Zhang Rang dares to tell himself, there must be a backhand, and there is no need for him to try, and this consequence will definitely be unbearable.

Seeing Xu Ji nodding, Zhang Rang also motioned for Xu Ji to sit down as usual, and after Xu Ji sat down according to Zhang Rang's intentions, Zhang Rang poured a glass of wine for Xu Ji and said: "After tonight, you can take whatever road you should take, I will not stop it, but there is only one thing, do what you want to do, I want to see how far people with the same ideals as me at the beginning can go." Xu Ji could only nod, what Zhang Rang meant by this was actually a great irony for Xu Ji, which meant nothing more than that Xu Ji was just a prop for him to verify his conjecture in his Zhang Rang's opinion.

But Xu Ji really doesn't have a temper, and he doesn't dare to have a temper, don't look at Zhang Rang as just a regular servant, but from what he just said, this person's ability is not only to shoot the emperor's ass, but more importantly, Zhang Rang's mind, Xu Ji is not confident that he can play to win Zhang Rang, and it is extremely irrational to fight against an old Jianghu, because the opponent has a hundred ways to play you to death, and you only have a few ways to deal with the other party in a few ways that are not very effective.

After drinking the wine, Xu Ji got up and said goodbye, Zhang Rang put too much pressure on him, and what he learned tonight was too shocking for Xu Ji, and it was difficult to accept it for a while, so he really had no way to stay any longer. And Xu Ji didn't know Zhang Rang's plan, he needed time to think about it, and Zhang Rang didn't mean to be embarrassed by Xu Ji, so he immediately sent Xu Ji back to Xiyuan.

Of course, if Xu Ji wanted to go back by himself, he really didn't know which way to go back to Xiyuan from here, so he had to accept such an arrangement.

Xu Ji didn't say a word along the way, it was worth it for him to see Zhang Rang this time, even too much, he heard too much terrible news, once these news were made public and confirmed, there would be chaos in the whole world, and Zhang Rang would become the target of the public, which was undoubted, but what followed? Needless to say, people are panicking, I am afraid that there will be people who are afraid that there will be such people around them, so Xu Ji does not plan to publicize this matter, and it is the best choice to let it be buried by time.

But because of Zhang Rang, Xu Ji found that his future was becoming more and more uncertain, where was he going? Xu Ji didn't know what to do. (To be continued......)
