All the way, Zhang Lu and the thousand-faced people hurried back to Jinling City.

It's strange to say this way, they actually encountered several waves of interceptions, even if Zhang Lu showed the token of Jinyiwei, it was not good.

From Dengzhou to Yingtian, it can be regarded as the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, and it stands to reason that there should be no mountain bandits and horse thieves.

What's even more strange is that these people don't actually kill when facing Zhang Lu and the Thousand Faces Man, but just cooperate to catch them.

It took a lot of effort for the two to break through the encirclement all the way.

When he arrived at the city gate, he was stopped by a man with a smile on his face, who bowed his hand very respectfully.

Zhang Yan asked, "What are you doing in front of me?" I have urgent progress."

Xu is tired from traveling these days, and he has encountered many interceptions, so there is a hint of fierceness between Zhang Yuan's eyebrows, and he looks like no one is close.

But this man's face was still full of warmth, and he said, "The villain is the steward of the Liangguo Mansion, and he has been waiting here for many days."

Liang Guogong is Lan Yu.

Zhang Zhen frowned slightly and asked, "You know me?"

The steward nodded, and said, "When the adult solved the murder case of the powerful ghost, he was already famous in Jinling, and later he wiped out the nine gates, he is really a young hero admired by everyone, how can there be someone in Jinling City who doesn't know the adult?"

Zhang Lu knew that these were polite words, and the stewards who were sent to the Xungui House all spoke like this, and they could praise people, if they were serious, they would inevitably be led by the nose in the subsequent conversation.

Zhang Lu looked pampered and unfazed, and asked, "Is there something wrong with me?"

This steward was secretly frightened, and the average young man was praised for a few words, and his tail had already risen to the sky, but Zhang Lu still looked light, no wonder the scheming Pingliang Hou would be planted in his hands.

Although he thought so in his heart, the steward still maintained a warm smile, and he said, "My grandfather wants to invite the adults to come over to the house."

Lan Yu had framed Zhang Yu at the beginning, but fortunately, Zhang Yu survived the crisis without danger.

Now facing the steward in the Blue Jade Mansion, how could Zhang Lu give a good face?

He directly crossed over to the steward, waved his hand and said, "I'm not familiar with Lan Yu, so I'll go."

The steward persevered, followed behind Zhang Lu, and said, "It's not easy for the nobles now, if you want to protect those noble children, maybe my grandfather can help."

Hearing this, Zhang Lu couldn't help but stop, he couldn't save Xie Wen'an at the beginning, but now he wants to save other noble disciples, if he can really add Lan Yu's help, the success rate will undoubtedly increase a lot.

Zhang Lu raised his eyes to look at the steward, and then asked, "What else did your grandfather say?"

Just now, he was directly called "Lan Yu", but now it has become "your grandfather", which shows the changes in Zhang Lu's heart.

The steward naturally noticed this, and the smile on his face became even bigger, and he said, "My grandfather also said that there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world."

It is this principle that is followed in officialdom, and as long as the purpose is the same, enemies can also form alliances and become friends.

Zhang Lu nodded and said, "Lead the way."

But the steward didn't move, but looked at the thousand-faced man who was following Zhang Lu, and said, "My grandfather only invites one adult......

….

Zhang Yan thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong, after all, the thousand-faced man was a person from Jinyiwei, even if the two had a good relationship, it was difficult to guarantee that they would not become enemies in the matter of Xungui.

Zhang Lu didn't want to spoil the relationship between the two, so he turned his head to the thousand-faced man and said, "Senior brother of the thousand-faced man, I'll go to the Liangguo Mansion first, and if you want to, you can run a trip to the Jinyi Guard for me."

The thousand-faced man nodded in agreement, and before leaving, he didn't forget to speak, "Don't worry, I won't tell the Overseer about your going to the Liangguo Mansion."

Zhang Zhen nodded and made a note of this kindness in his heart.

All the way to the Liangguo Mansion with the steward, Lan Yu in the courtyard was drinking, and Zhu Yunxi was also here.

still

Without waiting for Zhang Yuan to step forward to say hello, Lan Yu had already gotten up and arched his hand towards Zhang Zhen and said, "Zhang Baihu, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come here unharmed?"

Lan Yu said, not forgetting to kick the table next to him, Zhu Yunxi could only get up very reluctantly and symbolically arch his hand towards Zhang Yu.

This year's gift cannot be wasted, even if he doesn't like Lan Yu and Zhu Yunxi in his heart, Zhang Zhen still arched his hand and said, "Wechen has seen the king of Ruchang County, the Duke of Liangguo."

The last time they met, Lan Yu still had a fierce face, but now he had a smile on his face.

"Zhang Baihu, why should you be polite, there were many misunderstandings between us in the past, but we will have to move around more in the future."

Zhang Lu didn't continue to be polite, but asked directly: "We don't need to say those unnutritious words, now in Jinling City, the status of the Duke of Liangguo is the most stable, and the title is high enough, if something happens, I must save the noble children of Jinling City, if the Duke of Liangguo is willing to help me, I don't know what price I need to pay?"

Zhang Yu said, and looked at Zhu Yunxi out of the corner of his eye.

Lan Yu didn't expect Zhang Lu to be so straightforward, and now that the words have come to this, he naturally has no need to hide it.

Lan Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I hope you can help Yun Xi get that position."

Zhang Yu had already thought of this condition, he did not rush to refuse, nor did he rush to agree, but asked, "I am just a small hundred households in Jinyiwei, and Liang Guogong thinks I have that ability?"

Lan Yu nodded without hesitation, and said, "You may not be alone, but you are a disciple of Luo Kedi, and you have a good relationship with all the noble children in Jinling City, plus your prestige in the hearts of the people of Jinling City, combine these together, you have such an ability, haven't you noticed, but whenever there is a major decision of the imperial court, Your Majesty will definitely let you participate in it?"

Zhang Yu pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Doesn't the Duke of Liang Guo know that I have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Grand Sun?"

The corners of Lan Yu's mouth were slightly hooked, and he said, "Naturally, I know, but Zhu Yunwen's kid has too shallow foundation, and His Majesty will definitely clear a way for Zhu Yunwen in order to prevent us arrogant generals from rebelling." I know you have a good relationship with that kid Zhu Yunwen, but you can't bear to watch all these nobles in Jinling City being pulled out and their heads cut off?"

Zhang Lu naturally couldn't bear it, but now that he is in the game, he has to make a choice after all.

Seeing that Zhang Yu was silent, Lan Yu increased his chips again, and he said, "As long as Yun Xi can get that position, you can choose the official position and title of Da Ming, but I can also promise you that after the matter is completed, Zhu Yunwen will never be killed."

….

Zhang Lu raised his eyes and asked puzzledly, "The official position and title of the Ming Dynasty are for me to choose?" Is Liang Guogong looking too highly at me? I'm not worth the price."

Lan Yu shook his head and said, "No, you are worth it, as long as you unite all the nobles, plus your identity as a brocade guard, at the critical moment, you may really be able to poke a hole in this day."

Zhang Yu closed his eyes and thought, and began to seriously analyze and act in his mind.

And Lan Yu didn't urge him, just waited quietly by the side, and Zhu Yunxi was the only one at the scene who looked a little bored.

After about a cup of tea, Zhang Lu opened his eyes.

Lan Yu also couldn't wait to ask, "How is it?" What are you thinking about?"

Zhang Zhen sighed and shook his head gently, although he didn't speak, the meaning was already clear enough.

Zhu Yunxi, who was on the side, couldn't sit still now, he jumped up directly, pointed at Zhang Zhen and said, "Zhang Rong, do you know that this is an opportunity that many people can't look forward to? I came to you today, and I can afford you! Don't be ignorant, don't give face!"

Lan Yu frowned, and stopped directly in front of Zhu Yunxi, his voice was a little low, and he said to Zhu Yunxi: "Zhang Baihu is a guest, how can you be so rude?"

Zhu Yunxi thought about saying a few more words, but looking at Lan Yu's unkind face, he finally swallowed back all the words that followed.

Lan Yu looked at Zhang Yan again, bowed his body and arched his hand, and said, "Yun Xi is not sensible, I apologize to Zhang Baihu on his behalf."

Blue jade can be

It is the national prince, and it is already a very low posture to be able to do this.

But Zhang Yu still shook his head.

Lan Yu was puzzled and asked, "Why? Why don't you say yes?"

Zhang Yu pointed at Zhu Yunxi and said, "He's not Mingjun."

After saying this, Zhang Lu turned around and left.

Zhu Yunxi was already furious when he heard this.

Fortunately, Lan Yu glared at Zhu Yunxi fiercely, which made him quiet down.

Looking at Zhang Yu's back, which was neither humble nor arrogant, Lan Yu finally sighed and said, "Zhang Baihu, please wait a minute."

Zhang Zhen turned his head and asked, "Anything else?"

I saw Lan Yu groping in his arms, took out a token, and threw it directly to Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Zhen took the token and looked at it carefully, this is a black token, it looks very simple, the style is also extremely simple, the most eye-catching thing on this token is the text printed with gold lacquer.

On one side of the token is the word "Order" and on the other side is the word "Great General's Mansion".

Zhang Yuan played with it twice and asked, "What is the use of this token?"

I only heard Lan Yu explain: "Presumably Zhang Baihu also knows that I am a general, this is already the biggest military position in the Ming Dynasty, even if it is a few major governors of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion, they must be controlled by me in name. Don't look at Li Jinglong's kid who is very favored, but when he sees me, he doesn't want to shout the general obediently. As long as this token is in hand, the troops belonging to the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Military can be mobilized at will."

This token is a treasure, Zhang Lu picked it up again and looked at it carefully, and then asked Lan Yu, "Such an important thing, Liang Guogong gave it to me directly?"

Lan Yu nodded: "The transaction is not benevolent, this is also considered to be sold to you, in case I am also beheaded by His Majesty in the future, I don't want to be on the street, and I think you may be able to use this token, after all, there are not a few noble children in Jinling City."

Night rivers and lakes.
