Chapter 23: Chang'an
The slight change in Xu Han's face did not hide Gu Daozuo's eyes, he was slightly stunned, and then realized something.
He said the wrong thing, saying something that everyone knew but couldn't say.
Of course, it is not impossible to say such words, but only it cannot be said in front of Xu Han, and it just so happens that the old fox Zhang Xiang is also by his side, if this is a trouble, the blame is too big to say but it is the disaster of the three Yi clans, and for a while, the face of the ancient commander who was still menacing changed for a while, and dense sweat stains suddenly appeared on his forehead.
"Commander Gu said it well!" Xu Han, who had successfully calculated, smiled at that time, and then looked sideways at the silent old man on the side. "Prime Minister Zhang, can you really hear the words of Commander Fang Caigu?"
"Hmm. The old prime minister nodded, but was noncommittal.
This kind of attitude made Gu Daozuo unable to figure out the reality and reality, and froze in place for a while.
"That's good. The smile on Xu Han's face was even worse, he took a step forward, came to Gu Daozuo, and opened his mouth to say something.
"I feel that what the Lord of the Xu Mansion said is quite reasonable, and the Gu Commander still wants to search the city is the safest. But before the words came out, the drowsy voice suddenly sounded, and he still looked at his nose and nose, as if he didn't care about everything around him.
When these words came out, Xu Han, who was supposed to do so, was slightly stunned, and his gaze at that Zhang Xiang suddenly became complicated, and he was a little unsure who this Zhang Xiang was trying to help.
"This..."Gu Daozuo was not stupid, he immediately understood the meaning of this picture when he heard this, although he was a little unwilling in his heart, but there was a handle in their hands, at that time, he could only reluctantly arch his hand, turned around and led everyone away in a gloomy manner.
When Gu Daozuo and a greedy wolf guard walked away, Zhang Xiangcai turned around and bowed to Xu Hanyingying: "It's windy at night, and the old man is old, so I won't accompany him." ”
Then the old man turned and left.
Seeing this, Xu Han hurriedly stepped forward and stopped him: "Prime Minister!"
"Huh?" The old man looked back when he heard this, as if he had already expected Xu Han's obstruction, he squinted at Xu Han at that time, and his seemingly sleepy-eyed face had a faint hint of a smile. "What else does the mansion master have to teach you?"
Xu Han looked at the old man for a while before he said, "It's windy at night, I'll give the adults a ride." ”
He glanced at the people behind him and motioned for them to go back first.
Zhang Xiang smiled, but he didn't refuse, so he quietly waited in place for Xu Han to finish handing over everything, and then went on the road with him.
......
After this series of changes, the time has come to an ugly time.
Rao is prosperous Chang'an City At this time, there are no more than half pedestrians on the street, only occasionally patrolling soldiers passing by, and they all stop to meet Xu Han and Zhang Xiang.
Zhang Xiangwei has been a minister for so many years, and he has long been accustomed to this matter, and every team of soldiers smiled and returned the salute when they saw him.
The two of them walked like this for about a quarter of an hour, and when they saw that they were about to walk to the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Lord Zhang Xiang finally spoke up at this time: "Is the Lord of the Mansion wondering why the old man would help Gu Daozuo?"
This question was naturally what Xu Han wanted to ask, but Zhang Xiang said it so bluntly that Xu Han was slightly surprised.
Gu Daozuo is a person from the Long Night Division, and it is actually not a very strange thing to help him, after all, most of the week has been thinking about how to please the powerful man.
But Zhang Xiang's approach is strange, he helped Xu Han confirm Gu Daozuo's gaffe, but on the other hand, he didn't give Xu Han a chance to make trouble, and gave Gu Daozuo a step to go down. This approach seems exquisite, but in fact, both sides of Chang'an City are not offended, in fact, both sides have been offended. At least in the Long Night Division, this is the case in Yu Zhuxian's eyes.
As far as Xu Han knows, Zhang Xiang has been an official in the Great Zhou Dynasty for many years, and he can be regarded as an old minister of the two dynasties, so it is impossible for him not to even understand this truth.
"Hmm. Seeing that Zhang Xiang was so frank, Xu Han simply nodded, admitting that he did have such doubts in his heart.
"Huh. The old prime minister smiled at that time, but he did not answer the question at the first time. "In that case, the mansion master should want to ask the old man again whether he is friend or foe?"
Xu Han nodded again when he heard this, I have to say that this Zhang is worthy of being a person who has invaded officialdom for many years, but Xu Han's little thoughts can't be hidden from the other party.
"Is this important?" Zhang Xiang asked again, squinting his eyes.
This is naturally very important, Xu Han secretly thought in his heart, Tiance Mansion is isolated in Chang'an, although Zhang Xiang is not as good as Zhu Xian, but he is also a rare minister with the right to speak in the court of the Changye Division, if he can get his support, I believe that the situation of Tiance Mansion will definitely improve compared to before.
It's just that Xu Han thought about it in his heart, and didn't say it, after all, he couldn't figure out the mind of this picture.
But the hesitation that flashed on his face had already exposed his mind to Zhang Xiang's eyes.
"Friend or foe?" the old man's eyes flashed with displeasure, as if he was very disgusted by the word. "Everyone in this Great Zhou Dynasty, civil and military officials, princes, and governors thinks about who is the enemy and who is the friend. Therefore, whatever the enemy does, whether it is good or bad, must be stopped, and what the friend does, whether it is good or evil, must be helped. That's why Da Zhou has what it is today. ”
The old man paused when he said this, his stiff body suddenly stopped, and he turned his eyes to look straight at Xu Han. Only then did he say again: "If the lord of the Xu Mansion wants the old man to be a friend of the Tiance Mansion, then he must let the old man know what kind of friend the Tiance Mansion wants." ”
Xu Han was stunned when he heard this, he seemed to understand Zhang Xiang's words, as if he had caught something, but he seemed to have caught nothing.
"What do you mean, Prime Minister?" he asked, frowning.
"Nothing. The old man smiled again, and he pointed to his left chest, where his heart was beating.
"Zhu Xian is equipped with the dragon chair in Putian Palace. ”
"Gonggong Wei is pretending to be the king as the sky, the minister as the son, the king lets the minister die, and the minister has to die by all means. ”
"What about Yu Wenluo? What is pretended here is to care about his life, and to care about his people's livelihood, as long as the national fortune still exists, he will sit on the throne of the emperor for 10,000 years. ”
"And the old man wants to know what the mansion master is pretending to be here?"
Of course, Xu Han knew what he should say at this time.
For example, the righteousness of the people, such as the society of the country, this should be the best way to win the trust of this old man, but at that time, when he looked at the old man in front of him with a rickety figure and snow-white hair, the words that came to his mouth, for some reason, couldn't spit it out.
He didn't do it for this, although he came to Chang'an to repay the love of his master and apprentice, but in the final analysis, it was more for himself, so he was inexplicably a little ashamed at that time, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.
"What about the gentleman, what are you pretending to be?" After a while, Xu Han plucked up the courage to ask.
This time, he changed his name, and changed to a title that Zhang was quite worthy.
The old man looked at Xu Han, who had never responded to him, a little relieved, but also a little helpless.
He sighed and spoke.
"Chang'an. ”
