In the curie, King Yong slowly got up with his hands on the stool. At this time, his frightened and panicked eyes were completely gone. At this time, his appearance was very sober and shrewd. Breathing has already returned to normal, and it looks like he is in danger and strategizing.

King Yong straightened up and glanced back at Zhou Yan, who was lying on the ground, still wide-eyed. He calmly helped up the stool that had fallen down, and straightened the teacup and teacup that had been knocked on the table. Then he went to Zhou Yan's side, dragged Zhou Yan with him, dragged him to the inner bedroom, carried him to the bed, and pulled the bed curtain up. Unless it is a god, no one can see that there is a dead man lying inside.

King Yong made sure that this arrangement was correct, so he went to the bed curtain again and took the token from Zhou Yan's waist. Zhou Yan's token is very unique, it is made of rare purple jade, a small piece the size of a baby's palm, with an eagle's head carved on it, and the eagle's eyes are carved with the word "Zhou". The exquisiteness of the workmanship is not an exaggeration to put it in the treasure pavilion of Weiyang Palace.

Zhou Yan's token is unique in the world, and it is almost impossible to imitate it. Therefore, what the Zhou family and the forces of the Zhou family recognize is only this token. If two Zhou Yan who looked exactly the same stood together, even the person who didn't hold the token looked more like the real thing, but everyone listened to the order of the person holding the token.

On weekdays, Zhou Yan has something to do with his token treasure, and he carries it around his waist every day, even when he sleeps, he will press under the bed, not giving anyone a chance to touch this token.

With this token, he wanted to command Zhou Yan's forces, but it couldn't be easier.

King Yong took the token, opened the door and called Zhang Fuhai in the hut next to him to come in. Zhou Yan is a very cautious person, and when he talks to him about something, even if it is the most powerful slave around him, he can't believe it, and he must send it away.

Zhang Fuhai listened to King Yong's summons, hurriedly ran over in three steps and two steps, and asked, "What does Your Highness command?" ”

King Yong beckoned him to come into the house. Zhang Fuhai followed King Yong into the house, and saw King Yong take out a small piece of rare purple jade pendant, handed it to him, and said, "You take this token and go to these people I said...... Huang Jingde, deputy lieutenant of the infantry battalion, Ji Hongsheng, deputy lieutenant of the palace, Yu Haicheng, chief lieutenant of Changshengmen, and Zhang Qilin, the commander of the patrol battalion. Let them come to the dwelling in Italy, and remember, be sure to show them quietly and speak to them quietly. ”

Zhang Fuhai took the jade pendant handed by King Yong, took a look, and found that this jade pendant turned out to be a token, and it was also the token of the Zhou family. When he lowered his head, he saw blood stains on the ground, and hurriedly asked, "Your Highness, is there nothing wrong?" ”

"What can happen", King Yong sneered, "Grandpa is old, and many things cannot be done, so it is more appropriate for this king to take action." Go ahead and remember, but don't be discovered. ”

"Yes." Zhang Fuhai answered, and hurriedly retreated on an errand.

In fact, it has reached this juncture, even if people find out that he is looking for these people, it doesn't hurt. Someone who has a heart just told him about calling these people to his father or the third child.

On the father's side, it is impossible to hear it anymore, and it is impossible to have any response. As for the third child, even if he doesn't know that he wants to do it, he must already be preparing to deal with him. It is estimated that at this time, the third child and the old slut of the imperial concubine are discussing countermeasures in the Chengtian Pavilion. Now it's up to who's faster. Or more directly, it is a direct confrontation between the two armies, and the stronger wins.

After Zhang Fuhai left, King Yong cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground and replaced the bloodstained clothes on his body. After waiting for a few more moments, I heard someone stop at the door. Immediately, there was a low knock on the door: "My lord." ”

As soon as I heard it, it was someone from the Zhou family who came. If not, the first title is "Your Highness".

Among these four commanders who can come in handy, two of them are the henchmen of the Zhou family, either they have received great favor from their grandfather, or their ancestors have followed the Zhou family for generations. In short, their status today depends on the Zhou family, so they are quite loyal to the Zhou family. The other two are controlled by them by grabbing the handle, so that they have to be effective.

The two people in the Zhou family are Huang Jingde and Zhang Qilin, and the two who were controlled were Ji Hongsheng and Yu Haicheng, who had a good relationship with him.

I can hear the voice of the person, steady and old, it should be Huang Jingde, the deputy lieutenant of the infantry battalion. This old man is a shrewd character, and he is the most difficult of the four.

"Come in." King Yong sat at the table and drank tea, making a rather leisurely appearance.

Huang Jingde pushed the door into the house, and saw that only King Yong was there, so he didn't greet King Yong first, but looked around, obviously looking for Zhou Yan. After looking around for a while, he didn't see Zhou Yan, so he saluted and said, "Your Highness will say goodbye." ”

King Yong smiled: "Uncle Huang, please get up quickly, there is no need to be polite to this king." ”

Huang Jingde got up, and when he saw King Yong's expression as usual, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Yes...... His Highness called the subordinate over? ”

King Yong said vaguely: "Yes and no." It's my grandfather's intention, otherwise how dare this king bother Uncle Huang? ”

"Your Highness is serious." Huang Jingde hurriedly saluted.

King Yong smiled: "Wait a few more people to come, grandfather's orders, wait for people to come, this king will tell you together." The next thing is to ask Uncle Huang for help. ”

"The matter of the national bus agent is the duty of the lower officials. It's just ......" Huang Jingde looked around again and asked, "What about Guogong?" ”

"Grandpa has other things to do...... King Yong got up very cautiously, opened the door and looked out, looked at a few windows in the room, and made sure that the doors and windows were closed, and then walked up to Huang Jingde and said in a low voice, "Father...... It's gone. ”

"Huh?" Huang Jingde let out a low cry, obviously surprised.

Seeing that this method worked, King Yong continued: "It was just now. When his father died, the imperial concubine was beside his father...... As for how the father didn't have it, we don't know this. It's just that at this moment, the third child must have already known the news and must be ready to deal with us. Once the third child succeeds, neither the king nor his grandfather will be able to return to Kyoto City......"

King Yong's tone was quite solemn, and he had some demagogic skills: "So now the comparison is who is more prepared and who acts faster." This king and grandfather have been split into four people for use, but they may not be able to plan for the third child. Therefore, Uncle Huang, a few of you, are very important to the survival of this king and grandfather, to the queen, and to the survival of the entire Zhou family......"

After that, he sighed and patted Huang Jingde's shoulder. Before the matter was completed, he began to feel emotional: "This king often heard his grandfather praise Uncle Huang's loyalty, and just now my grandfather also said that among these people, the most reliable one is Uncle Huang." So, Uncle Huang, the burden on your body is very heavy......"

"It is the duty of a subordinate official to do things for the prince and His Royal Highness. The lower officials are not afraid of heavy burdens, and only hope to do their part for the prince and His Royal Highness. Huang Jingde was busy hugging his fists.

King Yong sighed: "With Uncle Huang's words, this king is much more relieved." Grandpa really didn't see the wrong person! Uncle Huang, once the matter starts, you have to help this king and grandfather deal with King Chen's side, and you have to help this king keep an eye on the people on our side, which is really hard for you. And you have to be extremely cautious, the stakes are very high! ”

King Yong patted Huang Jingde on the shoulder again and said, "This is why my grandfather has repeatedly explained, I must call Uncle Huang over first, and explain the situation to Uncle Huang first." ”

Huang Jingde hurriedly gave a courtier salute and said: "Thanks to the importance of the Duke and His Royal Highness, the lower officials will do their best to live up to their mission!" ”

King Yong smiled casually: "Okay, okay, no need to be polite." My grandfather can trust Uncle Huang, and this king can naturally trust me too. I guess the others will have to wait a while before they arrive, Uncle Huang, and sit down and wait for a while. ”

"Thank you Your Highness for sitting, but the lower officials don't dare to trespass, so it's better to stand and wait." Huang Jingde said.

King Yong smiled and said, "Well, this king will not embarrass you." ”

This old guy is nearly fifty years old, and he has been in the army for most of his life, and the arrogant and happy temperament of the soldiers is rare in him, but the pedantic and cautious style of the old people in the court can be found everywhere in him.

The old guy himself didn't have much ability, but thanks to the support of the Zhou family, he was able to transfer back to Beijing five years ago and was promoted all the way to the deputy lieutenant of the infantry barracks. Every day, he was sent by Zhang Xianlin, the commander of the infantry battalion in his early twenties, but he did not feel humiliated, but was content. is the master of a wife and children. The ghost thoughts in the stomach are all used for self-preservation.

The only desirable thing about him is loyalty to the Zhou family. And his loyalty to the Zhou family is really admirable. Such a person who is very shrewd and weighs and only cares about self-preservation, if he encounters the affairs of the Zhou family, the word "self-preservation" will be left behind, regardless of his life and death, at the disposal of the Zhou family. Even a person as demanding as his grandfather praised his loyalty.

This is also the grandfather's old fox's planning in the early years, I have to say that my grandfather's foresight is very human. When my grandfather was still the young master of the Zhou family, he went out to travel alone and saw a child who was bullied by a group of beggars. The child was only seven or eight years old, and in the face of the severe beating of a group of middle-aged beggars, although he begged for mercy again and again, and confessed in every possible way, but in any case, he did not hand over the piece of chicken leg in his arms, and protected it to death......

Grandpa was amazed, so he used some money to disperse the beggars who had beaten him, but without asking any more questions, he let him go as if he were a good man. Then he followed the little beggar, and saw the little beggar protect the chicken leg, and returned to a dilapidated house in the suburbs, and gave the chicken leg to the dying old woman lying on the broken bed. But the old woman was reluctant to eat it, and pushed and shoved it to let the little beggar eat......

Just listening to that scene makes people feel compassion in their hearts.

My grandfather waited outside the door for a while, and when he saw that the child had gone out to beg again, he chased after him and inquired carefully. I learned that the old woman was the grandmother of the child, when the child was born, the father went up the mountain to chop wood, was eaten by wolves, and the mother disliked the poverty, relying on a bit of beauty, followed a traveling merchant away, and never came back. The children have been dependent on their grandmother since they were young, and now their grandmother is seriously ill, not only do they not look down on the disease, they can't even eat, they have no way to eat, so they can only go out to beg. But because of his young age, he is often bullied by beggars of this generation.

When my grandfather heard this, he was moved with compassion. I didn't say anything at the time, but while the child was out begging, I called in a doctor to heal the old woman. But the old woman was already terminally ill, and she called several doctors, all of whom said that they were unable to return to heaven......
