Zhang Yanming had been waiting in the General's Mansion for a long time, and the tea was cold for two pots before Yang Lie returned to the house.

When the servant led him to the audience, Zhang Yanming asked curiously: "Brother, I heard that the blood armor soldiers are first-class fierce soldiers under General Yang, why are they now reduced to caretakers, don't they need to be trained?"

"A few days ago, the assassin entered the general's mansion, intending to be unfavorable to the Meng family's sister, although the sister went back, but several lieutenants were worried about the general's comfort, and after many persuasions, all the guards in the mansion were replaced with blood armor soldiers. ”

Zhang Yanming said: "That assassin is so bold!! Even the general's mansion dared to break in, it was really fatal." ”

"But no, it happened to be my night patrol, if I hadn't dodged quickly, I'm afraid I would have died under the two knives. ”

"Twin knives, have you ever seen that assassin look like?"

"I haven't seen it, if I do, maybe I won't be able to talk to General Zhang today, but I hear that it's a young woman. ”

"O young woman..."

Zheng of the hall

Yang Lie was still dressed as a Confucian student, sitting there cooking tea, and his gestures were extremely elegant, as if he would chant a few lines of poetry in his mouth the next moment.

"I've seen the general. ”

When Zhang Yanming first saw Yang Lie, no matter how many times he saw him, he still didn't believe that the middle-aged man in front of him, who looked gentle and elegant, was actually a murderer with the name of a blood general.

Galloping on the battlefield for decades, winning more and losing less, with great achievements but extremely fierce means, in the Anshi Rebellion, his most famous deeds are not to leave prisoners, and slaughter thirteen rivers and lakes in one night.

At that time, it was also very chaotic, no one cared if he killed indiscriminately like this, and after someone found out, there were more than 20,000 Jianghu people who were stabbed by him alone, not to mention other soldiers.

Yang Lie was seriously grinding the tea cakes, and when he saw Zhang Yanming coming, he didn't raise his eyes, but simply greeted: "Please take a seat, General Zhang." ”

Zhang Yanming's external position is a bad marshal in the dark department, and when it comes to the official position in the DPRK, that is, a loyal general on the fourth grade, compared with Yang Lie's general from the second rank of the town army, although they are both generals, there is a big difference.

The hall was silent, except for the faint sound of tea cakes being crushed.

Click... Click...

After a while, Yang Lie exhaled, this kind of seemingly trivial thing in the eyes of others seemed to be more difficult in his hands than commanding the army to conquer the city.

After the tea was cooked, Yang Lie put the tea soup into the tea cup with a scoop, and the person next to him put the tea cup on the plate and held it to Zhang Yanming.

"General Zhang, please have tea. ”

The tea soup is mellow, the tea is fresh and fragrant, and the aftertaste is sweet in the mouth, Zhang Yanming drank the hot tea and couldn't help but praise: "Good tea." ”

Yang Lie said: "How is it good?"

"General Yang, don't be embarrassed. Xia Guan is a rough man who only knows how to fight and kill, and he can only say good and bad, as for how to be good, two, three, he is really at a loss. ”

"Hahaha, General Zhang's temperament is very much in line with the old man's wishes. In fact, the old man can't taste the good or bad of this tea, all because my granddaughter Yurou old man has a straight face, and she dresses up at home and in the barracks, which makes the old man change into this loose robe, learn to taste tea and enjoy music, and I don't know what fun there is in it, which can please the world. ”

There is another thing that makes Zhang Yanming strange, I heard that Yang Lie is still in his sixties, but looking at his face, he looks like he is only in his forties, and his face is as responsible as a girl's delicate, if he shaves off his beard, it is not unbelievable to claim to be twenty years old, this is not like a person who has been exposed to the wind and sun all year round.

Curious and curious, Zhang Yanming still said seriously: "The general's every move, the subordinate thought that the general had studied the tea ceremony for many years. ”

It's time to get down to business.

Yang Lie said: "I don't know how the old man asked General Zhang to do it?"

"Back to the Great General. Xia Guan has sent all the bad people in Yangzhou out to monitor those recorded killers, and even transferred a lot of people from nearby towns, but if those people have any changes, they can definitely be taken down as soon as possible. ”

"Yes, that's good. There is General Lao Zhang. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. It's just that the lower officials have something unclear ......"

Yang Lie just said a word, and asked Zhang Yanming to concentrate all the manpower and accompany the general to play a game of cat and mouse, and there was no one available at the time under his hands, and many things were delayed, but this matter is not clear or clear, do you have to keep it for a lifetime?

"What?"

"Since the general is worried about Sister Meng's comfort, why don't you just arrest the assassins, why waste your strength guarding them?"

"Hmph! I don't know what trouble the old man of the Meng family caused again, half a month ago Yu was playing on the street, and was stolen by someone, and then kidnapped, and murdered, although they didn't succeed, I didn't expect them to dare to send assassins to kill people in my house. Just catching the assassin can only avoid a disaster, if you can't find out who is behind the scenes...... Hey, how can the old man protect her all his life. ”

"The general has good intentions, I don't know if the mastermind behind this scene has eyebrows?"

"Not yet, but the strength of the assassins who infiltrated the Meng Mansion last night is not weak, and the people who come next time should be even more powerful, and after three days, Yu will go to the Puzhong Temple ten miles outside the city to stay for a day. I will send blood armor soldiers to protect, but the secret matter still has to be handed over to General Zhang, the soldiers led by the old man are powerful in the march to fight, but the rivers and lakes are not forgiving, or General Zhang is more familiar, I am more relieved to hand it over to you. ”

"The general is in love, the lower officials will arrange for the master to secretly protect Sister Meng, if she loses a hair, the lower officials are willing to atone for their sins. ”

"Hahaha, it's not that serious. The old man estimated that the assassins would sneak attack on the road, and the blood armor soldiers would protect the safety of the rain, so you only need to be responsible for catching the assassins. ”

"Obey the order, then the lower official will arrange it first. ”

"Yes. ”

In the front yard of the General's Mansion, the weak Ah Hua really didn't know where to stand, and the blood-armored soldiers standing guard around him made him feel like he was in a mass grave, all of them exuding murderous and dead energy, and finally looked forward to Zhang Yanming coming out, and hurriedly greeted him.

"General Zhang, let's hurry up. This place is so scary, these soldiers all smell of death, and they smell like they want to vomit. ”

Zhang Yanming disagreed: "These soldiers all crawled out of the pile of dead people on the battlefield, what's so strange about the smell of death, and you are now a front-line combatant, you can't even adapt to this smell, what will you do in the future?"

"No, General Zhang. The smell of human death is the real smell of death, not the smell of corpses. ”

"Does it really taste like death?" Zhang Yanming replied casually, and Ah Hua nodded frantically.

"It's really a little strange, I also feel that the whole General's Mansion is lifeless, I thought it was the atmosphere of the General's Mansion, but now I think about it, it's really a little weird. ”

"But now is not the time to do this, you go find Thirteen and let him do something. ”

"Huh, General Zhang, how can the hero listen to me?"

"Just do that, and he'll say yes." Zhang Yanming whispered in Ah Hua's ear, "Go ahead." ”

Ah Hua separated the suspicious from Zhang Yanming and walked in the direction of the thirteenth tea shop.
