Chapter 409
"What does Brother Zhang think?"
Shangguan Ai suddenly said this.
Zhang Yan smiled bitterly: "Brother Shangguan thinks that I can still come up with any refreshing ideas in my mushy mind? Besides, Brother Duanmu is here to make suggestions, and Zhang doesn't need to be ugly." ”
But after finishing speaking, Zhang Yan still tried to analyze it.
It's not that he wants to divert the sadness in his heart, but that he feels that when people are hit, it is a very unfortunate thing. It would be even worse if you sink and fall because of this blow.
So, in order to make himself less tragic, he can only hold himself up and at least look positive.
"Is it purely to show off their influence in the court that the Huangfu family and the Murong family are targeting Brother Wanyan like this? As far as Zhang knows, they should have no inextricable grudges with Brother Wanyan. ”
"If these two families are indeed trying to prove their influence, Brother Wanyan is indeed a life of death. Because of the debut of these two families, they must fight a beautiful battle to completely overwhelm the emperor of your country, so as to give confidence to those cats and dogs who have just been loyal to them. ”
Shangguan Ai said angrily: "Brother Zhang is going to sentence Brother Wanyan to death?"
Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "Of course not! These two families will only care about whether the emperor will give in or not, and they will not care whether the person who is waiting for the fall in the prison is completely injured." ”
Shangguan Ai's eyes narrowed slightly: "Brother Zhang means ......"
Zhang Yan smiled and said: "If the matter really reaches the point of no return, as long as there are enough interests to impress these two families, then we can use the trick of exchanging the tanuki for the prince, at least we can save Brother Yan's life." ”
"What other interests can impress these two families?" Pei Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
After the two big families join forces, it can be called a hand covering the sky, and the so-called "interests" that can move them are only the imperial throne watered with gold.
Zhang said lightly: "The relationship that is united by interests can easily collapse and break because of interests. To be honest, Zhang is a layman at all when it comes to the tricks of officialdom. But Zhang believes that no matter how complicated the struggle is, as long as we can grasp the secret of human nature, we should be able to gallop freely and be like a fish in water. ”
Duanmu Baiyue became interested and asked, "Then Brother Zhang thinks that how to resolve the disaster of Brother Yan's death with the understanding of human nature?"
Zhang Yan said without thinking: "When people do something, they always have a purpose. Brother Wanyan is a senior disciple of Mr. Jin Jian, and before Mr. Jin Jian's bones are cold, his disciples are put to death, which is inevitably chilling and criticized. Therefore, in exchange for majesty by striking a blow to the face injury, in fact, it is a loss of reputation, which is a thing that outweighs the loss. ”
"However, these two families are still swimming against the current, obviously because after Brother Yan is hit, it will bring them more generous rewards!"
Duanmu Baiyue's eyes showed appreciation, and he nodded: "Brother Zhang's analysis is very reasonable! Because two days ago, the deputy commander of the forbidden army told the old man to return to his hometown, and the emperor intended to promote Brother Yan to sit in this important position in charge of the safety of the capital. ”
Zhang Yan sighed, but he didn't mention this matter to himself. Well, even if the face is tied, Zhang Yan will not take it to heart.
However, Duanmu Baiyue's explanation made the Huangfu family and the Murong family regard Wanyan's injury as a thorn in their side, which is logical.
"There is only one position in this position, can we use the method of killing three soldiers with two peaches to separate the harmonious relationship between the two families?"
Zhang Yan asked.
Duanmu Baiyue shook his head: "It's not very likely! The Huangfu family and the Murong family have been standing for many years, this kind of small means and tricks, they have long used the furnace, how can they be planted in the gutter on this." ”
Zhang Yan nodded: "At least, these two families only care about this position, so it doesn't mean that they must kill Brother Wanyan." So it is not difficult to take a good look around and save Brother Yan's life. ”
Duanmu Baiyue smiled and said, "What Brother Zhang said is very true! In fact, the two royal highnesses have decided to directly raise the question of the candidate for the deputy commander of the forbidden army tomorrow morning. I believe that in this way, the Huangfu family and the Murong family will divert their attention from Brother Wanyan himself. At that time, I will wait and discuss it again. ”
After a pause, Duanmu Baiyue said seriously: "The position of deputy commander is very important, and it is also closely related to whether we can achieve victory. In this war without gunpowder, whoever loses is not far from death. ”
Zhang Yan took a deep breath, and also felt that under the invisible pressure, the clouds in the sky were so low.
If the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom wins, the Murong family and the Huangfu family will definitely be punished by the Nine Clans.
And if the Murong family and the Huangfu family are victorious, they may not directly kill the emperor of the Jin State, but they will kill all the people who support the emperor of the Jin State, such as Zhang Yan and others, to prevent restoration.
Whoever fails, is not far from death!
Zhang Yan didn't want to come back, and when Shangguan Ai invited him to stay at Shangguan's house, he wanted to nod and agree. But he eventually refused.
The home that is sad is not fake. But here, too, carry many memories of residual happiness.
In the distance, I saw a beautifully dressed girl, but she was not at all reserved sitting on the stairs at the door of Wanyan's house, and she didn't seem to worry at all that the dust on the ground would stain this expensive cloth.
When he got closer, Zhang Zhan found that this little girl was actually leaning against the wall, sleeping soundly.
Zhang Yan thought about it, and finally shouted in a low voice: "Girl." ”
The little girl's delicate body shook slightly, and she immediately opened her eyes.
Just so suddenly, a pair of extraordinarily sparkling beautiful eyes appeared in Zhang Yan's eyes. Even though Zhang Can's heart is like ashes now, I have to honestly say that this feels wonderful.
"Are you...... Zhang Gongzi?"
The little girl's voice was also extraordinarily crisp, sounding like a person taking a bite of a green apple, which was both pleasant and made people feel extraordinarily sweet.
Zhang Chuan nodded: "In the next Zhang Remnant, may I ask the girl's name?"
Zhang Chuan didn't know that this little girl was at the door of Wanyan's house, waiting from morning to sunset. When I finally saw someone come back, my joy was naturally overflowing: "My name is Xiao Ning, and I am the princess's maidservant." ”
"Sorin?" asked Zhang Yan.
"Hmm!" Xiao Ning nodded, and then took out a letter in an unhurried manner: "The princess ordered Xiao Ning to hand it over to Lord Wanyan!Oh, where is Lord Wanyan?"
Zhang Yan was silent for a moment, and asked instead of answering: "Miss Xiao Ning doesn't know anything about what happened in the capital yesterday?"
Xiao Ning shook her head and said with a gloomy expression: "Xiao Ning originally married to Goryeo with the princess, but the princess wrote a letter halfway through and ordered Xiao Ning to rush back and hand it over to Lord Wanyan......"
When she said this, Xiao Ning's eyes were red, and her water-like eyes were even more rippling: "The princess also ordered Xiao Ning to take good care of Yan Gongzi on her behalf......"
Zhang Yan nodded, of course he could feel that Xiao Ning's words were not half a word.
"Where's Lord Wanyan?" Xiao Ning asked.
Zhang Yan shook his head, but pushed the door open, and sighed, "Come in and talk about it!"
After entering the house, Xiao Ning obediently poured tea and water for Zhang Zhan, and brought it to Zhang Zhan's hand with both hands.
Zhang Yan reluctantly pulled up a smile and said softly: "Miss Xiao Ning doesn't have to be like this, Zhang is not Brother Wanyan." ”
Xiao Ning's big watery eyes blinked, and he said crisply: "Zhang Gongzi is a friend of Lord Wanyan!"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ning said again: "But Zhang Gongzi doesn't seem to be as fun as the princess said." ”
"Fun. Zhang Yan repeated, and then smiled: "Miss Xiaoning, like Sorin, is a lively and lovely girl. ”
Xiao Ning grinned and said crisply: "Thank you Zhang Gongzi for the compliment!
Looking at Xiao Ning's inquiring eyes, Zhang Yan didn't hide it anymore, Mu Ran said: "Last night, when Brother Wanyan heard that Suo Lin was going to marry Gaoli, he was angry and confronted the emperor and was imprisoned by the emperor. ”
Xiao Ning's eyes were not worried, but instead flashed with strange colors, and applauded happily: "Lord Wanyan really has the courage, it is not in vain that the princess is infatuated with him, and Xiao Ning is not wrong about him!"
Zhang Yan looked at Xiao Ning's cheering and joyful expression, and smiled bitterly: "Miss Xiao Ning's thinking is different when thinking about things, but Zhang is now anxious about Brother Wanyan's situation. ”
Xiao Ning covered her little mouth: "Ah! Then Xiao Ning has to be a little sad now?"
Zhang Yan couldn't help laughing, shook his head again and said: "Laugh if you want to laugh, cry if you want to cry, how many free and casual days there are in life, why suppress yourself because of others!"
Xiao Ning grinned, and was about to speak, but her stomach growled.
Zhang Yan looked at Xiao Ning's embarrassed but forced indifference, and couldn't help laughing again: "Miss Xiao Ning can do it yourself! There are still some rice, noodles and vegetables in the kitchen." ”
Xiao Ning sighed, but she didn't move, looking at Zhang Can's inquiring eyes, she blinked her eyes twice: "Xiao Ning can't cook." ”
Zhang Yan nodded: "So, Miss Xiao Ning means that Zhang will cook for you?"
Xiao Ning's eyes purred: "It's not impossible." ”
Zhang Yan said helplessly: "Isn't Miss Xiao Ning Suolin's maidservant, why can't she even do something as simple as cooking and cooking?"
Xiao Ning said confidently: "Xiao Ning is only responsible for the daily life of the princess, and the cooking is served by the people in the imperial dining room. ”
Zhang Jian only thinks that Xiao Ning is a little girl and a child, and the generation gap between the two is so big, after losing the initial novelty of talking to her, how can he still be in the mood to continue to accompany her. Nodding, Zhang Yan said lightly: "Let Zhang welcome the arrival of Miss Xiaoning, and invite you to have a big meal!"
At night, Zhang Zhan showed out the jade pendant and successfully entered the prison.
Wan Yan Hurt leaned against the wall, his messy hair fell down, even if Zhang Yan could maintain his usual footsteps, such familiarity did not attract Wan Yan Hurt to move his fingers.
What is more terrible than sadness and despair is that people are in a state of mourning more than death.
Zhang Yan put down the two jars of fine wine, sat on the ground through the wooden fence.
These cylindrical wooden bars, if you are sad, it is not difficult to destroy them at all.
took the lead in pouring two sips of wine, Zhang Yan took out the letter, held it in his hand and raised it: "Wanyan Meimei (the name Suorin is just her Chinese name) handwritten letter, Brother Wanyan ......"
With a whoosh, the speed of the end of the injury was so fast that even Zhang Remnant was speechless, and there was no reaction, and Zhang Remnant's hand was empty.
With a stabbing sound, Wanyan was as impatient as tearing stockings, and in the faint moonlight, his hands trembled and looked at the letter in his hand.
Those powerful hands trembled, as if he had been spelled on the paper that was as light as soft gauze and as thin as a cicada's wings, and there was a weight he could not bear.
"What does the letter say?" asked Zhang.
After a long silence, he said dryly, "Brother Zhang, can you go out and buy some side dishes?"
Zhang Zhan knew that Wanyan was just sending himself away first, not wanting to let himself see him crying.
In fact, the current appearance of the face, the cloak is dirty, and the clothes are full of blood and dust, and it is already embarrassed and "humiliating" to the extreme. But perhaps it was his character, or perhaps it was the man's eccentric pride, even though he had this birdish appearance, he still didn't want to be seen with tears on his face.
Zhang Yan sighed, walked out of the cell, and stood alone on the long street for a long time.
About an hour later, Zhang Yan came back again.
His hands were empty, as if he had forgotten to buy some side dishes.
Wan Yan was also silent, as if he had forgotten what side dishes he asked Zhang Zhan to buy.
Solene said that the emperor begged her that day to let her remember the relationship between father and daughter and help her father once. ”
After a long silence, Wan Yan read these words.
Zhang Zanqiang smiled, deliberately trying to break this dull atmosphere: "It seems that Brother Wanyan is still not charming enough, and under Suo Lin's choice, he finally lost in the hands of her Lao Tzu." ”
Wan Yan shook his head: "Brother Zhang is wrong! It is precisely because Solin loves her more that she can abandon me ruthlessly, because she knows that I will definitely understand her and forgive her." ”
"At the time of this decision, Sorin was much more uncomfortable than I was. ”
Zhang Yan thought about it, it seemed to be the same thing. Still, he found it difficult to understand why someone who loved him more should suffer more damage from that person.
When is it also fate?
It's all!
"Brother Zhang, can you endure the pain and cut your love and do me a favor?" Wan Yan said in a sad voice.
Zhang Yan laughed and said indifferently: "Even if Brother Wanyan wants Zhang to draw his sword and kill himself at this moment, if Zhang frowns, he will be considered raised by a son of a!"
Wan Yan seemed to be excited, and said with some expectation in his tone: "Brother Zhang, can you give Hetu to Jin Xuanlin, he has Hetu, it is very likely that he will agree to us to exchange Solin for ......"
The words are so full, you deserve to slap yourself in the face!
Xiaohui was because Jin Xuanlin gave Yang Xiaohua a high secret, which made Yang Xiaohua make a big move, murdered Xiaohui, and dissected Zhang Xuan's child who had never seen the world at a glance.
Now, Zhang Yan wants to give Jin Xuanlin benefits instead?
Zhang Yan, who was silent, couldn't suppress his anger and hatred.
