Just after Lin Xi left the Prime Minister's Mansion......

Wang Dan watched Lin Xi leave from a distance, and shouted abruptly in the main hall where there was no one except him: "In this way, what you said is not a lie. ”

On the wall is a picture of a tiger descending from a mountain.

Wang Dan seemed to be talking to the tiger.

But how could the tiger respond to him?

"Liu Xi has long been against it, this is by no means a day or two, but he covers it up better - ridiculous, and there are still a large number of people who think that Liu Xi is just greedy for money."

The tiger in the painting shuddered for a moment, seemed to really come to life, and talked to Wang Dan.

Soon, a man dressed similarly to Wang Dan, but full of martial popularity, slowly walked out from the back of the painting.

Wang Dan smiled slightly: "Lord Yang, do you include the old man among the majority of the people you mentioned?" ”

"Hey, I don't dare."

This person, who is respected by Wang Ge Lao as Lord Yang, is actually not as big as Wang Dan's official position, but his background is far greater than Wang Dan - this person is the descendant of Yang Ye, the general of the Yang family of Zhao Song and the Yang family, and Yang Huaizhen, the squire of the military department.

Thanks to the name of the ancestors, everyone is respectful to Yang Huaizhen. Yang Huaizhen can also be regarded as living up to the expectations of his ancestors - although he did not become a general who always defended the territory and protected the territory, he also became an honest and resolute official who was not afraid of hardships and dangers under the ancestral training.

Over the years, whether it is the Northern Expedition or the Western Expedition, no matter whether the generals who go out on the expedition are familiar with each other or not, as long as they go all out to meet the enemy's troops, Yang Huaizhen will let his subordinates fully support them.

Therefore, the generals in the court had a good impression of him, and over time, Yang Huaizhen's name was also like the names of other Yang family children, and he was well remembered by all the sergeants.

However, the civil officials and the military generals are twisted into a rope, which is the last thing the emperor wants to see - everyone is not stupid, and they can naturally see it.

Therefore--Yang Huaizhen lives in a simple house on weekdays, never publicizes, and only has frequent exchanges with several subordinates who are closely related to him-

This includes his superior, Wang Dan, who is Shangshu Zuocheng.

"What do you think of what this man says?" Wang Dan asked.

"You said that Lin Xi who just left? This kid seems to have jumped out of a crack in the stone, why have I never heard of General Cao and Kou Xiang before? ”

Wang Dan clenched his fists and thought: "Maybe it's been the past two years, so I haven't talked about it to us." Do you think the other things this man says are reliable? ”

Yang Huaizhen did not hesitate: "Although there is no real evidence, I also know that once you sit back and let Liu Xi grasp the power, then the situation of you and my brother will not be good." ”

"yes--that's why I was urged to arrange a guard for the Holy One."

Yang Huaizhen smiled faintly.

"In your opinion, we should help him bring down Liu Xi?"

"What kind of person Liu Xi is, you know best, brother. The fate of Kou Xiang can still be seen, we revere Kou Xiang, but we must not become the next Kou Xiang! ”

Wang Dan nodded meaningfully: "I know what to do." Then the two looked at each other, and the room burst into hearty laughter.

"Brother, tell me, what are you going to do, I will help you with all my might!"

Wang Dan beckoned to Yang Huaizhen, and Yang Huaizhen immediately leaned forward clearly, and the two whispered quietly for a long time......

"If what Lin Xi said is true, we need to unite all the forces that can be united."

"Obey the order, and the humble duty understands."

"My lord! My lord! ”

Suddenly there was a shout from outside the door.

The guard in front of the gate suddenly walked into the main hall and said, "My lord, that Lin Xi is here, saying that he has something important to report." ”

Wang Dan glanced at Yang Huaizhen, "Why is he here again?" ”

Yang Huaizhen smiled meaningfully: "Since you're here, it's better to listen to what he says." ”

Wang Dan nodded: "Please let him in." ”

After a few moments, the young man he had just met walked in again.

"Why are you back?" Wang Dan asked.

Lin Xi arched his hand and responded: "Naturally, there is something important to report." I don't know, my lord is ......"

Lin Xi asked naturally Yang Huaizhen.

"The squire of the military department, Yang Huaizhen."

Lin Xi pondered: "Yang Huai...... Isn't Mo a descendant of the Yang family? ”

Yang Huaizhen chuckled and nodded: "Exactly." ”

Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt down: "Lin Xi, grass people, I've seen Lord Yang!" ”

"Haha...... Please get up, please get up! I can't see that you look like a martial artist, and you're quite polite. ”

"The Yang family will be loyal to the country, and everyone knows it, how can I be rude?"

"Hehe......" Wang Dan said: "Lin Xi, do you have anything important to do, let's talk about it." ”

"Ge Lao, Lord Yang, I met a friend from the northwest at the inn, and I learned from him that the martial arts family in the northwest recently lost one or two hundred disciples with strong martial arts and disappeared, I am worried that these people have infiltrated the capital, so I want to ask Wang Ge Lao to help us find out about this matter."

"One or two hundred?" Wang Dan's face did not change, but his heart was already turbulent: "Can you be sure that these people have entered the capital?" ”

"No, you can't. But I can be sure that they are coming in the direction of the capital. ”

Wang Dan said: "This pavilion knows, about this matter, I will send someone to investigate thoroughly." ”

Lin Xi bowed his hand: "Thank you Wang Ge Lao, Lin Xi has taken his leave." ”

"Please, don't send it."

Lin Xi slowly withdrew from the hall, and Wang Dan's face became more and more ugly.

"Lord Yang."

"Humble duty."

"How much do you think he said is true or false?"

"The lowly position is not clear, but the lowly position can see that he is by no means a treacherous villain with clear words and deeds."

"Oh?" Wang Dan only felt intriguing and asked, "How did you see this?" ”

Yang Huaizhen laughed confidently: "I said that Wang Ge Lao, I am also the queen of the Yang Sect, if I can't tell who is loyal and who is traitorous-then I really have the surname Yang for nothing." ”

Wang Dan pursed his lips and said with a smile: "It's that I underestimate you - then this matter, I'm afraid you will have to pay attention." ”

Yang Huaizhen said: "Please rest assured, Yang Huaizhen's duty is to die." ”

Soon, Yang Huaizhen also left.

Only Wang Dan was left in the hall.

He walked out of the sweltering main hall and felt the cool breeze outside.

Looking at the blue sky in autumn, Wang Dan couldn't help but think of an old man-

An old man he hadn't seen in a long time.

"Brother Kou, are you okay in Jingbei......

"Speaking of which, our brothers haven't seen each other for half a year......

"Since you left, things in the court have become more and more difficult day by day, and day by day they are tormenting people—"

Wang Dan's eyes suddenly became resolute: "Brother Kou, one day, I will let the Holy Lord understand that I will let you return to this position, and I will make those traitorous ministers and ghosts who tend to be inflammatory-pay the price they deserve." ”
