The candles were blazing, and Liu Zhiyuan sat on a wide bed covered with yellow satin, his eyes as sharp as a goshawk about to pounce.

Yang Chonggui stood not far in front of him, still wearing silver helmets and silver armor. looked a little tired, but the voice and tone of the report were still calm.

The whole thing came out of his mouth very simply, without any added oil or vinegar. He received the second prince from Shi Guo Yunming, the commander of the Wuying army, and forced Hu Yancong back by means of a competition. Then he walked through Fenzhou safely, and fell short in less than a hundred miles from Taiyuan City.

"You mean, someone snatched the second prince from you on the edge of the Fen River?" Liu Zhiyuan listened to his report very patiently. There was still a smile on his face, but there was no emotion in his voice. As if the answer received was slightly unsatisfactory, he was about to volley down and peck at the respondent's eyeballs.

"The last general is incompetent, please punish the king of Han!" Yang Chonggui's face did not show the slightest fear. Instead, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, his eyebrows browled down, and a clear smile appeared in his eyes. At the same time, it was held in both hands, but it was a carved feather arrow, and at the edge of the quadrangular arrow, a cloud of blue light danced.

"What is this?" Liu Zhiyuan's anger slammed into a ball of cotton, and bounced back softly. His brows jumped slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.

"The feather arrows left by the sneak attackers, the lord will know it at a glance!" Yang Chonggui took two steps forward and handed the arrows to Liu Zhiyuan with both hands.

"You mean, someone shot you with such an arrow at that time?" Liu Zhiyuan's brows jumped again, he reached out and grabbed the arrow, and his eyes swept from beginning to end like lightning.

The arrow was two feet nine inches long, and the arrow was an iron quadrangular pyramid with a raised iron drum at the end. The barrel of the arrow, made of basswood, is inserted into the iron drum and fits seamlessly. The surface of the shaft, coated with uniform black paint, is bright and smooth. At the end of the arrow shaft, there are two neat white goose wing feathers, the length and appearance are exactly the same, and the color is as smooth as snow.

Such feather arrows have strong armor-piercing ability, stable flight in the air, and can ensure the accuracy of shooting to the greatest extent, which can be described as a first-class weapon in the army. As long as you are a general who is proficient in archery, you will definitely love it after you get it.

However, the cost of such feathered arrows will definitely exceed that of things used in ordinary armies by dozens or even hundreds of times. In this era of war and chaos, it is said that ordinary bandits are reluctant to use it, and even Liu Zhiyuan himself, if he takes this arrow to shoot people, he will estimate the value of the other party in advance, whether the feather arrow in his hand is worth anything!

Thinking about it in this way, combined with the location where the sneak attacker appeared, the answer is about to come out! No wonder Yang Chonggui was not afraid at all before, it was obvious that under his own Han king's account, there was an old man who was jealous of Yang Chonggui from outside and made new contributions, and deliberately made a stumbling block for the young people.

And since the second prince did not leave Hedong, Yang Chonggui, a clever ghost, was unwilling to let his brothers make senseless sacrifices. Anyway, he, the king of Han, is not old and confused, and he has already obtained such important evidence, but he still has to blame him for his poor guards along the way.

Thinking of this, Liu Zhiyuan's gaze finally became a little warmer, smiled, and asked softly: "Who is it that has such a big stroke? Have you ever guessed one or two?"

"The last general is stupid!" Yang Chonggui smiled, pretending to be confused. Although this man set a large fire, he showed mercy and did not hurt any of the brothers under the command of the last general. Therefore, the last general thinks that he just wants to test the skills of the juniors, and he may not have malicious intentions!"

He is the eldest son of the Linzhou Jiedu envoy, and with his illustrious family background and outstanding skills, even if he does not make any contributions, he will not lose his place in the new court in the future. What's more, in the eyes of him and his wife, some merits may not be better than nothing!

"You kid, you're so old. If you are old in the future, won't you want to become a fine?" Seeing Yang Chonggui's calm face, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile. "That's it, the old man doesn't force you. If you offend people, let the old man do it. Secretary Su, you take this arrow to check, who is it that actually did such a ridiculous thing?"

"Yes!" Su Fengji, the secretary in charge, agreed, stepped forward from under the shadow of the lamp, and swept a gust of wind under the wide sleeves of his robe.

He was of medium height, sparse and well-mannered. But walking among a group of battle-hardened martial artists, he does not seem weak at all. On the contrary, the suave demeanor emanating from him made many generals ashamed of themselves.

Yang Chonggui was extremely jealous of this person, and slowly retreated half a step to avoid himself blocking this person's path. Then, he bowed deeply to Liu Zhiyuan, "King Han, there will be an old friend in the end, surnamed Han Chongyun." Naiwu was the eldest son of Han Puzhi, who commanded the British army. The prestige of the King of Han has long been admired, and this time he was ordered by his father to escort the second prince to the north, and specially entrusted the last general to ask the King of Han for a meeting. He wants to meet the King of Han and speak to the King of Han in person on behalf of his father!"

"Han Chongyun, is it your eldest son-in-law?" Liu Zhiyuan was slightly stunned, and then quickly looked to the side, with a smile on his face.

Since the second prince is still under the guard of the generals of the Hedong family, his mood is no longer as irritable as before. Just talk to your cronies about some irrelevant content first, in order to adjust the oppressive atmosphere in the main hall at the moment.

"Exactly!" Standing less than four feet away from him, the capital of the six armies, Yu Hou Chang thought about it, and immediately bowed down in response. "That kid was born with a wooden appearance, I don't know how to become smart this time! When he came to Taiyuan, he didn't go to the last general's house first, but took care of business!"

"Your son-in-law, it's strange to be able to be wooden!" Liu Zhiyuan glanced at Chang Si and pouted with a smile. "Come on, Xuan Han Chongyun enters the hall! It just so happens that there are all people today, let's all help Chang Kegong take a look at his son-in-law!"

"Yes!" the guards at the door agreed loudly and ran down with a smile. I am sincerely proud that my boss can be so appointed by Han**.

A number of other civil and military officers in the main hall looked at Chang Si's gaze, and they were suddenly full of smiles. It was as if the one who was about to be summoned to meet the King of Han was his own junior.

Everyone knows that Chang Si Lao has a good life, and when he was young, his wives and concubines gave birth to sons for him one after another, and he was born until he was almost fifty years old, and finally gave birth to his first daughter. Therefore, Chang Si has regarded his eldest daughter as a pearl in his palm since she was a child, and never allowed anyone to treat her slowly. And since he takes such a fancy to his daughter, the young man who can be picked by him as his son-in-law must not be a dull person. On the contrary, there must be some outstanding strengths hidden in this son, so he will be recognized by Chang Sihui.

Liu Zhiyuan himself almost thinks so. In a look of envy and even jealousy, he continued to smile and said: "The daughter under your knees has already passed this year, right? Has Han Pu sent someone to hire him? Or are you reluctant to let your daughter out of the cabinet and prepare to recruit a son-in-law?"

"There is only one lone seedling in the Han family, and the last general can't do anything to rob other people's sons!" Chang Si smiled and shook his head slightly. "Besides, you haven't seen the thousand gold under the knees of the last general. The older you get, the more lawless you become. The last general has had enough of her, and I wish I had sent her away sooner!"

"Hard mouth, you have the ability to say this in front of your daughter!" Liu Zhiyuan pursed his lips again, and joked with a smile again. and Chang Si, not so much a monarch and a minister, but a brother with a different surname who has been friends for many years.

In fact, the two of them can indeed be regarded as brothers with different surnames. As early as when Liu Zhiyuan himself was still a cavalry general under the account of his adopted son Li Siyuan, Chang Si was the head of his personal guard. Then he accompanied him with a shield all the way until now, not only on the battlefield, he has blocked countless open guns and arrows, but also in the Bianliang City of the Great Jin Dynasty a few years ago, he has also resolved countless insidious killing moves for him.

It can be said that if there were no constant thoughts, Liu Zhiyuan would not even dare to guarantee whether he would be able to live to this day, let alone imagine that he was one step away from becoming the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. So no matter who he doubts, he will not doubt Chang Si's loyalty to him.

And for Chang Si, Liu Zhiyuan also knows very well. Greedy for money, lustful, and somewhat snobbish. It is more than enough to be a minion like Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun. If this person is allowed to go out of town, I am afraid that it will not take more than three months to run back with his tail between his legs!(Note 1)

It is precisely because he understands Chang Si and believes in the loyalty of the other party that Liu Zhiyuan loves Wu and Wu. After hearing that Yang Chonggui conveyed his intention to see Chang Si's son-in-law, he immediately ordered him to be recruited. I plan to check my niece as much as possible before she gets married. lest the old brother Chang Si really look away, and regret it in the future.

His thoughts are not incomplete. Unexpectedly, some people like to show off their ability. Without waiting for Han Chongyun to enter, he took two steps forward suddenly, leaning over and reaching his knees: "Qiqi King Han, Weichen has one thing, I want to ask King Han to investigate!"

"You?" Liu Zhiyuan, who was joking with Chang Si, turned his head suddenly, and the wolf looked at Yingpan, "Secretary Su, what is the matter with you? Didn't this king explain just now and tell you to immediately track down the owner of that feather arrow?"

"Weichen is guilty!" Su Fengji, the secretary in charge, was so red-faced that he was reprimanded, but he refused to retreat immediately. Instead, he bowed down and gave a second salute, and added loudly: "Please allow Wei Chen to finish his words." If the lord thinks that the words of the micro-minister are untargeted, the micro-minister is willing to receive any punishment!"

"Say, don't be verbose!" Liu Zhiyuan waved his hand and ordered with a cold face.

Although he felt that Su Fengji's behavior was disappointing, his years of experience in using people to recognize people told him in his heart that Su Fengji was not a vain minister who did not know how to advance or retreat. On the contrary, this person is usually tactful and cunning, and he will never go to Chang Si, who is a lot higher than him, for no reason.

"Weichen once recommended Guo Yunming to the King of Han to serve as the commander of the Wuying army. This time, Guo Changshi was able to find the second prince from the people, and Guo Changshi contributed a lot. However, according to this person's letter to Weichen a few days ago, General Ning's son-in-law, Han Chongyun, seems to be acting quite frivolously. Just because he once had a personal relationship with the second prince, he tried to cover up his identity again and again. and once confronted his father in person, thinking that General Han should not send the second prince to Taiyuan!"

Note 1: Chen Shou's evaluation of Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms. The original text is: Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun are strong and strong, and they are minions, and their irrigation, Teng's disciples, Chen Shou is talented, but his conduct is quite poor, and when he wrote the "Three Kingdoms", he belittled the Shu Han generals. Many people in later generations were influenced by it, and they positioned Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun as brave generals like the chief of the guard, rather than a commander.
