Chapter 394
"What's useless?" asked Zhang Wan, frowning.
After days of running, Zhang Chuan and Nie Ban returned to Shangjing all the way, and as soon as they entered the city gate, they met Shangguan Ai and Wan Yan Injury. So the four of them came to Dong's restaurant together, which can be regarded as washing the dust for Zhang Zhan and Nie Ban.
Shangguan Ai sighed helplessly: "The current Datong Mansion has actually been completely controlled by the Mengs. Moreover, the Mongolian people have been increasing their troops in Datong Province for several days, which has caused a great threat to our Dajin. ”
"My Dajin is now suffering from internal and external troubles, so the emperor is not ready to take the emperor's family for the time being. ”
Zhang Yan raised the account book and accentuated his tone: "So, after a series of births and deaths, Zhang's account books that he finally obtained suddenly became useless?"
Shangguan Ai spread his hands: "At present, this is the case! The Huangfu family has heavy troops, and in order to prevent possible mutiny and civil strife, it is absolutely not suitable to take the Huangfu family before recovering Datong Mansion." ”
"Haha!" Zhang Yan smiled indistinctly, "I really don't understand what I've been running around in Datong Mansion for so long, and what I'm trying to do!"
It is very likely that the Murong family and the Huangfu family will collude with each other, and if the Huangfu family is overthrown, there will be a chance to bring down the Murong family. In this way, Xiao Yu'er can be rescued.
"You really shouldn't have saved Mu Cheza!" Wan Yanju's expression was very depressed and depressed at the moment.
After hearing this, Zhang Yan was also speechless.
It is true that if Zhang Yan had not rescued Mu Chezha so "willfully", then no matter how much undercurrents were surging in Datong Mansion, at least it would not fall into the hands of the Mongolian people.
"Brother Nie's real ability!" Wan Yan looked at Nie Ban coldly.
Zhang Yan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Jin Jian's death, one is that he has reached the age limit, and the other is because he witnessed the tragic situation of the collapse of the Tubo Kingdom, which caused his heart to be depressed, but it has nothing to do with Brother Nie. ”
Wan Yan took a sip of wine, but lowered his head, and his expression looked extremely melancholy and tired.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Yan said with a haha: "The relationship between Brother Wanyan and Master Ling is really deep!"
Shangguan Ai winked and shook his head at Zhang Yan.
Only then did Zhang Zhan understand that something unpleasant had happened to Wan Yan's body, and after making a "clear" gesture towards Shangguan Ai, Zhang Zhan asked, "Those soldiers in Datong Mansion ...... Later, did they behave heroically?"
Shangguan Ai looked at Zhang Yan's complicated eyes and nodded solemnly: "They are all my Dajin's warriors, they would rather die than give in, and they all died in battle, and none of them surrendered!"
Zhang Yan and Nie Ban glanced at each other, and they both saw a deep sadness and regret in each other's eyes.
After taking a sip of wine, Zhang Yancai said abruptly: "Why bother? It is not a shameful thing to kneel down and surrender to the enemy and save your own life first! Leave the green mountains here, and you are not afraid of running out of firewood, alas!"
In response to Zhang Yan's exclamation, Shangguan Ai shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang's words are not right! Because Brother Zhang has fought side by side with them and has been born and died, he can't bear their sacrifice." However, in the eyes of others, a soldier is to coexist with the safety and danger of the society! Kneel down and beg for the enemy, wag his tail and beg for mercy, and beg for a living? This kind of person never wants to raise his head and be a man again in this life!"
"Dying with the country and living with the family is their ultimate destination. ”
Zhang Yan smiled bitterly and surrendered: "You have a point, brother, when I didn't say anything!"
"I'll go out for a while. Nie Ban said lightly.
In the later battle to defend the city, Nie Ban was already a well-deserved leader of Datong Mansion, and all the soldiers looked to Nie Ban's horse. Therefore, although the time between the two is short, the relationship has been established. Therefore, in comparison, the impact of these soldiers who would rather die than surrender must have been deeper than Zhang Yan's feelings.
Zhang Yan looked at Nie Ban's back and asked Shangguan Ai, "He just swaggered out like this, he won't be besieged, right?"
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Qingyang, was assassinated by Nie Ban, who can be described as the most wanted criminal in the Jin Kingdom.
Shangguan Ai looked at Nie Ban's distance with complexity, and shook his head helplessly: "Just ask who else in Shangjing City can help Nie Ban? Sending some cats and dogs to arrest Nie Ban is meaningless at all, and it will damage the majesty of the royal family." Unless he is completely sure, otherwise, no matter how unwilling the emperor is in his heart, he will only temporarily treat Nie Ban as air. ”
Zhang Yan snorted, but in his heart, he was still extremely proud to have a friend like Nie Ban who was so powerful that even the monarch of a country was helpless.
"There is a dream girl in Datong Mansion, who is said to be very close to Nie Ban?" Shangguan Ai said suddenly.
A hint of foreboding rose in Zhang Yan's heart, and he nodded, "What?"
Shangguan Ai hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "After the Mongolian people broke the city, they burned, killed, looted, and did many evils. In the process of being insulted, Dream Girl bit her tongue and committed suicide......"
With a "snap", Zhang Yan lost control for a while and crushed the wine glass in his hand.
Mengli's smile with shallow dimples appeared in front of Zhang Yan's eyes.
At this moment, Zhang Yan really regretted a little, if he hadn't rescued Mu Chezha at the beginning, then so many tragedies would not have happened. Just like that, Zhang Yan felt that the sin in his hands was so deep and heavy.
And the reason for all this is just because of a wrong idea in the first place.
Zhang Zhan didn't know if he was sad because of Mengli's humiliating death, or because he was shocked to realize that even a simple decision by one person could have such a big impact on the pattern of the world, in short, he just sat there blankly, staring blankly and not saying a word.
Shangguan Ai looked at Zhang Yan's wide-eyed but colorless eyes, was silent for a long time, and continued: "Even so, the Mengren still continue to spoil their dreams......
"Don't say it!" Zhang Yan shouted in a low voice.
Instead, Zhang Zhan looked left and right, knowing that Nie Ban had already gone out of the Dong family restaurant, but after reconfirming, he said solemnly: "Don't tell him!"
Shangguan Ai nodded, then added another wine glass to Zhang Yan, and poured the wine full: "Respect those people!"
Zhang Yan even picked up the wine glass with some trembling, and after taking a deep breath, his hand stabilized: "Respect those people!"
After this mouthful, Zhang Yan only felt unprecedented bitterness.
"Bang", Wan Yan, who had been pouring himself a drink, planted his head on the table, and he was already drunk and fell asleep.
Zhang Yan then asked, "Which play is he singing?"
"Or because of the deterioration of the situation in Datong Mansion, in order to ease the relationship with Goryeo, the emperor has decreed that Suo Lin will be married overseas. ”
"Why Sorin?" said Zhang angrily.
Shangguan Ai shrugged: "The emperor's daughters are always counted, and it is not a special surprise that Solin was chosen, is it?"
"But he knows that Brother Wanyan and Solin really love each other, but he still wants to ruthlessly break them up?"
Shangguan Ai opened his mouth, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped, and Zhang Yan said unhappily when he saw this: "When did you become such a mother-in-law?"
Shangguan Ai snorted and forced a smile: "You also know that it is not a glorious thing to talk about the cold-blooded and ruthless Lord behind his back. ”
"Brother Shangguan is really a friend!"
Leng Guangyu walked in with a long sword on his back.
His long hair still obscured his face, making it impossible to see half of his face.
Before Zhang Zan's time to say hello, Leng Guang Youjing sat opposite Zhang Zan, but turned his head to Shangguan Ai: "Why didn't Brother Shangguan tell me the truth?"
Zhang Yan looked at Leng Guangyou, then at Shangguan Ai, and said in a condensed voice: "Brother Shangguan might as well have something to say!"
Shangguan Ai didn't speak yet, but said indifferently: "Thank you Brother Zhang for his wrong decision in Datong Mansion to give up this strategic city to the Mengren." The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom was furious and defended Brother Zhang because of his facial injury, so he was angered, so Sorine was deliberately chosen. ”
Then he pointed to Wan Yan, who was asleep due to drunkenness, and said indifferently: "Don't deny it! Brother Wan Yan can only let his beloved Solin marry away from home, in the final analysis, the reason is Brother Zhang's mistake." ”
Zhang Yan's body trembled, his face turned pale, and he muttered, "What...... How can this be......"
Leng Guangyou chuckled lightly and asked, "Brother Zhang, do you remember what Leng said to you after you caused Rada to die tragically?"
Zhang raised his head violently, his eyes unblinking as he looked at Leng Guangyu.
Leng Guangyou sneered, nodded and said, "If Brother Zhang forgets, I'll repeat it again!"
Leng Guangyou slowly leaned forward, although Zhang Zhan couldn't see his appearance through his dense hair, but his eyes as sharp as knives cut Zhang Zhan's face with hot pain: "Can you do one thing well?
Then, Leng Guangyu returned to his normal sitting position.
Shangguan Ai looked at Zhang Yan's angry and embarrassed look, poured Zhang Yan a full glass of wine, and said with a dry smile: "This wine is good, oh, this elbow is also fragrant......"
Zhang Yan finally slapped the table, got up and said angrily: "Blame me at this time? When Brother Leng wanted to leave me alone in Datong Mansion, didn't Zhang explicitly refuse? Do you have to go your own way, and you have to drive ducks to the shelves! Lao Tzu is simply the scapegoat for you to shirk your responsibility!"
Fortunately, it is not a meal now, and there are not many diners in Dongjia Restaurant, which did not attract onlookers.
Shangguan Ai held the wine glass again and said with a dry smile: "It's all dissipated, in fact, this wine is good...... This elbow is really fragrant......"
Leng Guangyou snorted, and his tone was extremely gentle: "Well, Leng really shouldn't have handed over such a heavy task to Brother Zhang's hands." ”
When Zhang Zan's voice heard this, his two fists clenched so that his hand bones gurgled, and after gasping heavily, Zhang Zan's voice hoarsely shouted, "Am I willing to do this? Don't I want to make things more beautiful?"
Leng Guangyou stood up, still indifferently said: "Don't blame Brother Zhang, just blame Leng for having no eyes!
After finishing speaking, the birth method disappeared in front of everyone's eyes as fast as lightning.
Zhang Yan couldn't help but slam his two fists on the wine table, and with a bang, the dishes, chopsticks and plates on the table trembled.
Shangguan Ai coughed twice and said hesitantly, "Oh, this wine is good...... The elbow is also fragrant......"
Nie Ban came back again, obviously he had adjusted his mentality, the haze on his face was swept away, and he asked curiously, "Who is that swordsman who just left?"
After Zhang Zhan raised his head, he looked at Zhang Zhan in surprise: "What's wrong with Brother Zhang?"
Zhang Yan gasped, shook his head, and said in a muffled voice: "I'm fine, it's okay." ”
Nie Ban naturally turned his inquiring gaze to Shangguan Ai again, and Shangguan Ai scratched his head: "Maybe it's because this wine is good, and the elbow is too fragrant......
In the end, this feast can only be said to be unhappy.
Zhang Remnant was carrying a drunken and groggy face on his back, and walking in an extremely complicated mood, Nie Ban said loudly: "Brother Zhang, don't take it to heart! You can't deny a person's kindness just because you did something wrong." ”
Zhang Ren smiled bitterly: "However, after all, I did something wrong." ”
After placing Wanyan Injury, who was in a state of drunkenness and dreaming of death, on the bed, Zhang Yan carefully covered him with a quilt.
"I'm sorry!"
Zhang Yan said in a low voice.
He could only apologize while Wan Yan was unconscious, otherwise, Wan Yan would definitely smile and say, between brothers, why do you say these foreign words!
After standing for a long time, Zhang Zhan turned around and walked back to his room, but saw the door squeak open, and a dark green pothos came out of it.
When he met Zhang Ran, Zhang Zan, and said in a low voice: "Long time no see." ”
When the pothos came to see Xiaohui, she didn't dress up much, but even if she didn't apply powder, she was still so moving.
She didn't want to deal with Zhang Zan's mind at first, but Zhang Zan's was not surprised, until she and Zhang Zan's staggered past, her footsteps obviously paused, and then she looked at Zhang Zan's eyes with those aura-moist eyes: "Be kind to Xiaohui! Otherwise, I will never spare you!"
Zhang Yan nodded: "Don't worry, Miss Luthos, I owe her!"
Speaking of which, Zhang Yan owes a lot of people, such as Tang Huan, Gao Lingxuan, and Xiaozhu. It's a pity that these women have all died in their good years, and Zhang Yan can't even repay them anymore.
In an extremely depressed mood, Zhang Remnant did not have the slightest joy because of seeing the pothos, and nodded again, which was a farewell.
In the room, Xiaohui was making her bed, as if she wanted to relieve the fatigue of the afternoon.
Seeing Zhang Yan come in, her delicate face immediately revealed a kind of joy like "looking through the autumn water".
Zhang Yan secretly took a deep breath, and a smile like a spring breeze appeared on his face: "I'm back!"
Yes, Zhang Yan has no reason or qualification to bring his unhappiness outside to her.
Xiaohui just hummed and didn't say anything.
Zhang Yan walked over with a grin, inadvertently glanced at Xiaohui's abdomen, and couldn't help frowning: "Why hasn't there been any movement yet!"
Xiaohui couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yan: "How can it be so fast!"
Then she also frowned and said, "Quickly change your clothes, and I'll take them to wash for you!"
Zhang Yan smiled, but did not move. Xiaohui looked at Zhang Yan puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Zhang Yan smiled and shook his head: "It's okay." ”
It's really fine, it's just that Zhang Chuan thinks it's good to have a home.
