Chapter 765: It's Time
After a toast, he tilted his head and dried.
"Daddy. Zhang Hancui was afraid that he would drink too much, but Zhang Yunsheng didn't care, "What is this little wine?" Don't think I don't know, you put water in the wine!"
He said to Zhang Hancui again: "This plate of roast chicken is cold, and the skin is white fat, which is not delicious." You go back to the heat. ”
Zhang Hancui didn't want to go, but when she saw her father's eyes, she could only pick up the roast chicken and go to the back kitchen.
After she left, Zhang Yunsheng asked Yan Sanlang bluntly: "Young Master Yan, my daughter has gone to Dadu, she must be safe, right?"
Shi Congyi frowned on the side: "I don't try the case, I can only say it." Although you are coerced, you are also an accomplice, and you are a person to be sinned. What's more, this also involves Princess Xuanping. She was trapped in the wind and snow for more than ten days, frightened, and refused to spare her afterwards......"
Before he finished speaking, Yan Saburo suddenly waved his hand, Shi Congyi subconsciously stopped, but listened to him: "Yes." ”
What can be? Shi Congyi was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was answering Zhang Yunsheng's words.
Zhang Yunsheng exhaled softly: "If Princess Youguo must be blamed, will it harm Xiaocui?"
Woe to the children, no country has such a saying. In history, the Wei court abolished officials and killed officials, and they all used the crime of clan punishment.
Yan Saburo said, "Your daughter will be fine." Whatever I do, I'll keep her safe. ”
This was said categorically, and Shi Congyi pursed his lips. Thinking of the facsimile of "Wind and Snow Mountain City", he understood: this kid probably made a deal with Zhang Yunsheng.
Tsubame Saburo has a variety of means. What's more, Shi Congyi also knew that the relationship between this kid and the monarch was extraordinary. With him coming forward, he said that Zhang Hancui was fine, and most of the time it was nothing.
Zhang Yunsheng pulled the corners of his mouth and asked again: "I heard that the monarch of Youguo is not in good health?"
This was a strange question, and Shi Congyi wiped his nose: "Where did you hear that?"
"The people at the gambling house. ”
Shi Congyi shrugged. He is a court official, and he should be cautious when he speaks, but he is not as quick as these small people who are promoted to fight.
Zhang Yunsheng smiled: "I understand." I hope she will sympathize with the same illness and understand the pain of Xiaocui's loss of her father. "He thought he was dying, and he had no fear of the king and the magnates.
He turned to Yan Saburo and emphasized again: "We have a deal, you have to do it for me!"
The young man met his eager gaze and nodded solemnly: "She will be safe." ”
His tone was indifferent, but it had a convincing power. Zhang Yunchang let out a long breath and was relieved.
Strange to say, he thought things very clearly tonight. Since his family has fallen and his wife has passed away, his mind seems to be covered with a veil, and he is ignorant of what he sees and does, and often does not know where he is.
But now he was sober.
I don't seem to be so awake in my life.
Yan Saburo couldn't help frowning when he looked at him with a smile on his face and a ruddy face.
The old man is not in good health, even if he has drunk, his radiant appearance is very abnormal.
The boy looked at Chitose and asked in a low voice, "He?"
The woman in red shook her head: "Cheap him." ”
When Zhang Hancui came in with a hot roast chicken, Zhang Yunsheng was chatting and laughing with the three guests, and his words were reasonable and funny, as if he had returned to a long time ago.
A long time ago, my father was still in the calligraphy and painting treasure business, and the Zhang family's mansion was full of friends. As a young woman, she looked up to her father and felt that he was so tall and so high-spirited, as if there was no difficulty to knock him down.
How many years have passed?
Chitose picked a chicken leg and chewed it slowly: "This chicken is good, you can take a few with you when you leave." ”
Little by little, time passed.
Speaking of the past when he was young, Zhang Yunsheng chatted happily, and just opened another urn of old wine to pour for Weiwuhou. But the wine jar was only halfway tilted, and his smile stopped, and his hand suddenly shook and loosened.
The whereabouts of the wine jar.
Shi Congyi's eyes were quick, and he caught the wine jar before it hit the ground. Unfortunately, a small half of the wine was spilled on the green bricks.
He looked up and saw that Zhang Yunsheng's face suddenly decayed, his body shook a few times, and he sat down in the chair weakly.
"It's time. Yan Shichu's tone on the side was as calm as water.
When the time came, the fifteen-day period of the Hongwu Treasure Seal arrived, and Zhang Yunsheng was deducted from his life span by seven years.
Everyone watched as the old man's exposed skin quickly sunken like a leaky ball, becoming skinny and bone-covered, and the green tendons and bones on the back of his hands emerged.
His face shrunk even smaller, his skin sagged and sagging, and he even crawled with gray ringworm.
The hair that used to be gray has now faded to all white. Zhang Yunsheng reached out and touched a lot of hair.
"Dad, Dad!" Zhang Hancui was stunned, and grabbed his hand, "This time, this time, how can the damage be so bad!"
Zhang Yunsheng used the Hongwu Treasure Seal five times in total, but the first four times combined, it didn't seem to be as damaging as the last one?
Yan Saburo was silent. Before the time of his son, Zhang Yunsheng's body was equivalent to that of an old man of sixty-five or six years old. If you take good care of yourself at this age, you can still be full of energy.
But if Hongwu Baoyin deducted another seven years of life, he would be seventy-two or three years old. Zhang Yunsheng, whether it is age or body, deserves the four words of the wind candle and the last year. The essence of life loss is to suddenly lose vitality, not to age naturally, and does not give the body so much time to adapt.
This kind of devastation is incomparably damaging to the human body.
What's more, Yan Saburo and Chitose could already see that the old man's physical foundation was very bad, and there were at least seven or eight underlying diseases. It can be seen that he had too many experiences in his early years, and he has been defeated many times.
In these years, the average life expectancy of civilians is about 40, and Zhang Yunsheng is 37 years old this year.
In the end, this folding of life was like the last straw that crushed the camel, completely crushing Zhang Yunsheng, from the inside out.
This time, Hongwu Baoyin directly killed him.
The old man grabbed his daughter's hand and whispered, "Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui." ”
His voice was crushed to the bottom of his throat, as muddy as his white eyes.
Zhang Hancui couldn't cry: "I'm here, I'm here!" and cried to Yan Saburo again, "Childe, Brother Huang said that you have great powers, please save my father!"
She just turned her head and cried, but she didn't notice that Zhang Yunsheng shook his head at Yan Saburo, pursed his lips and said a word silently:
"No!"
His gaze was firm, the young man understood, leaned forward slightly, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, Ling Zun has run out of oil." I also...... Powerless. ”
The weasel spun at his feet, squeaking in a hurry.
Huang Da is pleading.
Chitose kicked it to the side: "Don't make a mess!" Even if Old Man Zhang didn't plead, Xiao San wouldn't be able to save this disease of five decays.
Hades wants you to die on the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch?
