Chapter 32: The Last Hour

The goose feather fan doesn't look special, maybe it's because Zhang Lang is bullish, just like Guo Jia and Tian Feng, sometimes they will shake the fan around, but in general, Zhang Lang is not very interested, except for the one in front of him.

The goose feather fan is oval in shape, and it clearly appears that there are three backbones in the middle, supporting the structure of the entire fan. I don't know what it's made of, but it feels quite hard to the touch, and it feels quite good to the touch, soft and smooth. The handle of the fan is obviously made of special wood, tough and soft, and there is also a warm air current, which makes Zhang Lang's originally cold hands feel a little warm.

Most of the fan surface is made of silver and white goose feathers, not flashing with a faint silver halo, which is quite beautiful and beautiful.

No less than thousands of slender goose feathers are dense, but they are scattered neatly, and it is conceivable that just kneading these goose feathers will take a lot of effort and effort.

If this is the case, it is not enough to show that this fan is special, listen to Pu Rou said, after this goose feather is made, first write a large number of ways to govern the country and the country, and then put it in a special potion to soak for half a year, the handwriting on it is not only hidden, and the goose feathers become like needles piercing hands, extremely hard, is a very special weapon. What's even worse is that this goose feather can also be used as a hidden weapon at the most critical time, which is enough to make the opponent unguardable.

Zhang Lang looked left and right, thinking that he had a hundred knives, and this goose feather fan was of little use to himself, except for copying down the things inside to Guo Jia and others when the time came, it was useless, thinking of these, he couldn't help but be bored.

After a few days of calm, there was no movement in Zhou Yu, which Zhang Lang was not too worried about. It's just one thing he hasn't been able to figure out, with Qiao Xuan's gaze, why has he been trying to protect Zhou Yu, even at the cost of his family's life? If it was understandable at first, but after Sun Ce lost power and didn't even have the ability to start from scratch in the end, how could Qiao Xuan, who had served as Sikong, Situ, Taiwei and other positions, make such an unwise move?

Ancient marriages, especially marriages between scholars, were definitely political, just like oneself and oneself. Every marriage is for the greater good of the family. As far as Zhou Yu, who is now precarious and embattled, is there a higher value in terms of difficulty?

It was not until later that Zhang Lang learned from Tian Feng's mouth that the Qiao family and the Zhou family have a lot of origins, and they are both famous families in Lujiang. The Qiao family and the Zhou family have had a marriage relationship for generations, and in many things, they are on the same line. Now that Zhou Yu has crossed the stage, the first to be the brunt is the Zhou family, with Zhang Lang's powerful power and extraordinary courage, there will be great variables, and the Qiao family will definitely be implicated.

If Qiao Xuan sacrifices Zhou Yu, although it can ensure the safety of the Qiao family, I am afraid that Zhang Lang is unlikely to pursue the entire Zhou family, because the Zhou family is a very influential and prestigious family in Lujiang, and there are also many people who are officials under Zhang Lang, such as Zhou Yu's father Danyang Taishou Zhou Shang and so on. I'm afraid that Zhang Lang will also recruit security first in order to stabilize them. If this is the case, I am afraid that the Zhou family will not be able to break their muscles and bones. Once the Qiao family betrays the alliance, and the alliance cannot be uprooted, not only will their actions be despised by the world, but they must always guard against the revenge of the Zhou family, you must know that in the power of Jiangdong officialdom, the Zhou family is greater than the Qiao family.

Therefore, instead of tearing off his face and disagreeing with the alliance, it is better to protect Zhou Yu and use the influence of the two families in Lujiang to make Zhang Lang dare not act too extremely. In the meantime, he did not talk about the personal affairs of his children.

You must know that Zhang Lang's heavy troops are stationed outside Wancheng, and he has continuously visited Qiao Xuan, which has attracted great attention from the Qiao family. If things can't be further progressed, I'm afraid that there will be some trouble at that time.

However, Zhang Lang believes that Zhou Yu will surrender, maybe Xiao Qiao has something to do with it, but more importantly, there is a whole family behind Zhou Yu, if he does not surrender, I believe that once Zhang Lang launches a ruthless attack, with his thunderous means, he will not hesitate to pay the price, I am afraid that the Zhou family will not be able to escape the tragedy. I'm afraid that no one knows this better than Zhou Yu. Further, even if Zhou Yu's surrender is not sincere, he believes that under his personality charm, he will slowly change, which Zhang Lang is convinced of.

No matter how famous your family is, no matter how influential you are, it is always unwise to fight against those in power.

So in the past few days, Zhang Lang has been worried, and he has also lived a nourishing and moist life.

It's just that there is no time left for Zhang Lang, and the relationship between Cao Ying and Yuan Shao on both sides of the Yellow River continues to deteriorate; Lu Bu's arrival went to pacify the work; After Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai captured Xiakou, Liu Biao's even clerical documents made Zhang Lang feel urgent.

However, Zhang Lang felt that there was still one less trigger in the matter, so he let himself unfold in an all-round way.

Just when Zhang Lang began to worry, it was at this time that an unexpected thing happened. And this accident became a turning point in the matter.

On this night, it was nearly three watches. The night was hazy, with occasional sparse starlight in the sky, followed by drifting dark clouds. The earth became even darker in the cold.

Although Wancheng is located in the south, the cold snap in early spring still makes the temperature of the air very cold.

In the Wancheng Mansion of Nuoda, no matter where it is, from time to time there are rows of guards patrolling back and forth in high spirits against the whistling cold wind. The sound of neat footsteps and the glow of the dark red torches completely pushed the night into a quieter abyss.

Zhang Lang and Yang Rong hugged each other and slept together.

However, in the dead of night, there was a petite black shadow, in the night wind, wearing a thin nocturnal suit, black clothes and black cloth, and covering his face, from time to time cats, flashing and jumping left, his movements were very agile.

After a few ups and downs in the mansion, not only did he lightly dodge the patrols of the guards, but he also quickly approached the most central area: Zhang Lang's bedroom. The whole action is like flowing water, entering a no-man's land, coming and going freely.

The man in black knows how to hide himself in the dark; Know how to minimize the probability of your whereabouts being discovered.

This is a born assassin.

I saw her quickly roll twice on the ground in the dark corner of the altar, and one dodged and immediately stuck to the wall in the corner of the corridor. Immediately afterwards, a group of soldiers, with neat steps, came out of the bend on the left.

After the patrol soldiers walked away, they heard her faint voice, and said with a hint of surprise: "In less than a word, there are two patrol teams, so tightly defended, it seems that this Zhang Lang is also greedy for life and afraid of death." ”

The contempt in her heart did not make her arrogant, but became more cautious and cautious.

Sticking to the corner of the corridor, he quickly looked at the terrain left and right, and immediately turned over, jumped the corner of the upper beam, and touched towards the estimated room.

Zhang Lang was asleep.

There was a smile on his face.

He dreamed that with the help of Guo Jia, Zhou Yu and others, he would kill all sides, and he was about to win the throne. Suddenly, there was a loud bang outside the door, waking up Zhang Lang and Yang Rong.

Then he heard Dian Wei say in a dull and thunderous voice outside the door: "Bold assassin, dare to assassinate the lord of my family." ”

Zhang Lang woke up now.

Next, the sound of a fight was heard outside the window.

By the time Zhang Lang wanted to go out and take a look, it was already quiet outside. Then I heard Dian Wei's roar.

Then there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the door, all the night patrol soldiers came from all around for the first time, everyone's heart was cold, if Zhang Lang had any accident, I was afraid that none of the people on duty at night would lose their heads. Outside, the sky illuminated by torches, and the soldiers were densely packed with no less than a hundred. And that's not even counting the soldiers who keep hearing about it.

Dian Wei knocked lightly on the door, and then an eager voice said, "Lord, are you okay, the assassin came just now." ”

Zhang Lang came out wrapped in only a mink coat.

All the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Lang glanced at it and asked Dian Wei with a look of chagrin strangely: "Zipu, where is the assassin?" ”

Dian Wei lowered his head in embarrassment, and under the light of the fire, his face was full of indignation: "That assassin was very cunning and let him run away. ”

Zhang Lang was incredulous, and said with a face full of disbelief: "What? Ran away? ”

Dian Wei drooped his head, and said dejectedly: "The subordinates are incompetent, and they did let him run away." ”

Zhang Lang was surprised, who was so powerful that he could slip away in Dian Wei's hands, not to mention that there were so many soldiers surrounding.

On the other hand, if there is no Dian Wei guarding tonight, I am afraid that I will be stabbed by the other party? So who is trying to assassinate himself? Zhang Lang thought for a while, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, there are many people who want to kill him, but he is afraid that it will be difficult to dig out the opponent for a while. However, with this skill of coming and going freely, I am afraid that it will be difficult to find a few in the late Han Dynasty.

Looking at Zhang Lang's contemplation, Dian Wei Shao said with a cautious expression: "That person is very evil, as soon as he stretches out his hand, he is like a big bird, flying in the air, and in the blink of an eye, the kung fu transmission disappears without a trace." Let the subordinates catch up if they want to. ”

Zhang Lang was dumbfounded when he heard this, and a strange feeling appeared in his heart, not that he felt that Dian Wei was exaggerating, but that he remembered the tricks used by his previous special forces.

Watching Zhang Lang ponder, Dian Wei didn't dare to say a word, it was his dereliction of duty to say this.

Zhang Lang suddenly made a decision, raised his head, and said to Dian Wei in a deep voice: "Immediately send someone for me to secretly investigate, and at the same time, the night matter is instructed to all the soldiers who keep vigil not to leak, and immediately invite Tian Feng and Cheng Yu to the council hall for me, I want to discuss with them." ”

Dian Wei originally thought that Zhang Lang was going to scold him, but when he heard this, he was stunned at first, and immediately left.

A moment later, Zhang Lang finished his clothes and came to the conference hall.

The place has long been lit by candles, and it is bright. Tian Feng and Cheng Yu were a little untidy, their eyes were bloodshot, and they obviously came in a hurry after receiving the news. There was a vague feeling in my heart that something big was happening.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhang Lang opened his mouth, the two of them were startled, and he said, "Someone stabbed me just now." ”

"Is the lord alright?" The two spoke almost in unison. The expression of care on his face is unmistakable.

Zhang Lang shook his head and said, "I'm fine, Dian Wei is here, but the assassin hasn't caught it either." ”

There was a shock on the faces of the two at the same time, but Zhang Lang ignored it and said slowly: "There are too many people who want to kill me." ”

Tian Feng glanced at Cheng Yu, who also looked at him with puzzled eyes, Tian Feng stubbornly said: "Does the lord want us to find out who started in Beihou?" ”

Zhang Lang didn't seem to care at all who stabbed him, and said lightly: "This is not in a hurry. ”

Cheng Yu hit the snake with the stick and asked, "What does the lord mean?" ”

Zhang Langyan was not shocking and indecent, and said with an expressionless face: "Framed the Zhou family and accepted Zhou Yu." ”

"Ahh After the two exclaimed again, they immediately entered into contemplation, and then the two of them invariably understood Zhang Lang's meaning and plan.

Zhang Lang then said: "You go with me to see Zhou Yu immediately." ”

Cheng Yu said confusedly: "It's so late now......" Obviously, Cheng Yu was a little puzzled when he saw Zhang Lang trying his best for Zhou Yu.

Zhang Lang glanced at his eyes and said lightly: "Time is running out, we have to hurry, but I'm not afraid that it won't be long before Cao Ying's letter flies in, asking us to attack Yuan Shao together." At that time, the actions of our army will determine the battle of the Yellow River. Whether we participated in the battle of Cao Yuan, or opened up the south of the Yangtze River, or went west to Jingxiang, with Zhou Yu's joining, we will avoid many detours. ”

Although Tian Feng has a long-term vision, he is far from having Zhang Lang's ability to predict the future, so he wanted to ask, but seeing that Zhang Lang didn't seem to want to say more, he gave up. On the contrary, Cheng Yu was arrogant, seeing that Zhang Lang admired Zhou Yu so much, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, and secretly thought that when the time came, he would see what you Zhou Yu was capable of.

Zhang Lang took it in his eyes, but he didn't break it, this matter will be solved by Zhou Yu himself.

Soon, the three of them, under the protection of the guards, came to ask for Qiao's door.

Qiao Xuan's family, as early as half a year ago, was closely monitored by Zhang Lang's army.

The soldier knocked on the door, and the sound was heard far away in the quiet night.

Not long after, Steward Qiao's lazy voice came from inside: "Who?" ”

Zhang Lang raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Qiao Kun, General Ben has arrived, you still haven't opened the door, ask Qiao Xuan to come out to greet you." ”

"Yes, yes." Qiao Kun suddenly became clearer, and his voice became a little higher. Immediately afterwards, Qiao's family seemed to be busy exploding all of a sudden.

Soon Qiao Xuan came out to greet him.

But Zhang Lang put on a stinky face, his expression was gloomy and terrifying, and he didn't say a word after stepping through the door.

Qiao Xuan's mental torture has made him a lot older, and now Zhang Lang came to the door again in the middle of the night, and he didn't look good, which couldn't help but make him feel miserable in his heart.

Tian Feng saw that Zhang Lang didn't mean to speak, and said to Qiao Xuan calmly: "You go and call Zhou Yu up, the lord has something to ask him, it's none of your business." ”

Qiao Xuan looked at Tian Feng with a little gratitude, and casually asked Qiao Kun to call Zhou Yu.

Zhang Lang walked to the lobby without saying a word, and then sat down, still looking angry. Even the subordinates who were waiting on the side were terrified.

At this time, Zhou Yu came in.

Under the candlelight, the spirit was a little atrophied.

Zhang Lang stared at him viciously and sneered: "Zhou Yu, what do you say, someone was instructed to assassinate General Ben tonight, fortunately, General Ben's life should not be extinguished, but the villain in the dark can be disappointed." ”

Zhou Yu's body shook violently, and he suddenly raised his head, his pale and weak eyes emitted a terrifying light, staring at Zhang Lang at all. Obviously, Zhou Yu understood Zhang Lang's intention from the first sentence.
