The Governor's Mansion was quite deserted, except for the armor of the sword and halberd, there were almost no other idle people.

Xu Beiyou and his entourage entered from the middle gate, and came to the front of the main hall along the main road paved with bluestone slabs. ”

At this time, Xu Beiyou was dressed in a crimson brocade robe, covered with black armor, with a jade belt around his waist, and a simple bun on his head, tied up with a black jade hairpin.

Xu Beiyou returned the salute, "Xu Beiyou has seen Zhang Dudu. ”

Zhang Wuxian said with a smile: "Nangui doesn't need to be polite, I have already ordered someone to prepare a banquet for you." ”

"Beiyou thanked Zhang Dudu first. Xu Beiyou bowed again.

Zhang Wuxi waved his hand lightly, and everyone retreated, leaving only two people.

The two looked at each other.

Xu Beiyou remembered that the last time the two looked at each other like this, it was in the Thousand Buddha Cave outside Dunhuang City, when Zhang Wuxian was holding a little monk in his hand, and Xu Beiyou blocked Zhiyun behind him.

After that, Xu Beiyou never shied away from looking directly at this sick tiger until today.

Xu Beiyou said slowly: "I may not be happy to have friends from afar, but I'm afraid that Zhang Dudu doesn't want to see me come to Zhongdu." ”

Zhang Wuxi's face remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Go inside and speak." ”

There is a small round table with 12 dishes and only two pairs of chopsticks.

The host and guest sat down across the table, Zhang Wuxian, as the host, lifted the wine jug and poured a full glass of wine for Xu Beiyou, and asked, "How is it to return to the south?"

The wine is a first-class Fenjiu, has been cellared in the underground cellar of the Northwest Army for more than ten years, take it out today, the aroma of the wine is overflowing, if there is a drunkard here, I am afraid that it will be drunk for three points first, and what is even more amazing is that the liquor is still crystal clear, not half of the turbidity.

Xu Beiyou raised his glass with both hands, watched the clear wine pour into the cup, and replied: "Everything is fine, it is thanks to Zhang Dudu, if it wasn't for Zhang Dudu's rescue, I am afraid that I would have died under the knife of Duanmu Yu's secret guard, and there would be no Jiangdu Xu Gongzi today, so I will give Zhang Dudu a glass first." ”

Xu Beiyou raised his wine glass and drank it all.

Zhang Wuxian said calmly: "Not really, you were pregnant with Zhu Xian at that time, even if you didn't have my help, you could turn the corner in the end." ”

Xu Beiyou put down the empty wine glass and said bluntly: "I want to come to Zhang Dudu already knows Xu's intention. ”

Zhang Wuxi took a sip of the wine in the glass, "I guessed some, but I still want to hear what Nangui has to say, and at the same time, I also hope that Nangui will not pretend to be shocking like some lobbyists." ”

Xu Beiyou said softly: "The words are not shocking, not only the speaker is intentional, in the final analysis, the listener has the heart, Xu only stated the interests and disadvantages for Zhang Dudu today, analyzed the situation, as for how to decide, it was only in Zhang Dudu's thoughts." ”

Zhang Wuxian leaned back on the back of the chair and said softly, "I want to hear about it." ”

Xu Beiyou took the wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine, but he didn't drink, but dipped his fingers in the wine, wrote a "blue" word and a "Han" word on the table, and said slowly: "On top of today's temple, the two parties of Lan and Han are contending, and there are all kinds of pros and cons, Zhang Dudu is a person who has lived in the temple for a long time, so he naturally sees it thoroughly, and he doesn't need Xu to say more, Xu is just here to relay some of Mr.'s words." ”

Zhang Wuzhi remained silent.

Xu Beiyou erased "Han", and then said: "The so-called Han Party, in fact, has disappeared as early as 20 years ago, today's Han Party, not so much the party of one person of Mr., but the imperial party led by Mr., this party struggle, not so much the dispute between Lan Xiang and Mr., but rather the dispute between the monarch, does Zhang Dudu think so?"

Zhang Wuxie's expression changed slightly, and he somewhat guessed what Xu Beiyou was going to say, but he still nodded lightly.

Xu Beiyou wrote down the word "emperor", "Twenty years ago, not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, Lan Xiang has been at the top of the temple for thirty years, and Lan Xiang is still His Majesty's teacher, so it is inevitable that the king is strong and weak, this is a taboo in the temple, does Zhang Dudu think so?"

Zhang Wuxi nodded slowly, "Go on." ”

Xu Beiyou said: "At that time, the first emperor and the queen mother passed away in a hurry, there were King Wei and the king of the grassland Khan, and there was a party dispute between Lan Han inside, Your Majesty wanted to rely on Lan Xiang to control the temple, so he would temporarily forbear and retreat, and the monarch was harmonious, but now it is not as good as before, His Majesty is already a person who knows the destiny of heaven, but Lan Xiang is still standing on the temple, to put it mildly, how can there be an emperor in the world who has been on the throne for 20 years and cannot be in charge alone?"

Zhang Wuxi was silent for a long time, leaned forward slightly, and asked seriously, "Then what?"

Xu Beiyou said flatly: "Does Zhang Dudu really not understand? Or do you have to make Xu Mou's words clear? The person who wants to 'pour the blue' is not Mr., but His Majesty today, and it is not the so-called Han Party, but the Imperial Party!"

Zhang Wuxi was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "What is the relationship between Your Majesty and Lan Xiang, you can't make a conclusion with your empty words. ”

Starter M...

Xu Beiyou said: "If it is only Xu Beiyou who said this, Zhang Dudu can naturally be regarded as nonsense, but this statement is from the mouth of the second assistant of the current dynasty, how can Zhang Dudu be regarded as empty white teeth?"

Zhang Wuxi was silent.

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "Governor Zhang, it is true that Lan Xiangye recommended you as the governor of Zuodu, but don't forget, it is also His Majesty who approved this matter, and they all say that they are grateful for their kindness, but they have never said that they are grateful for their kindness." ”

Zhang Wuxian was silent again for a long time, exhaled a long breath, and said softly: "This is all what Your Majesty meant?"

Xu Beiyou said in a deep voice: "Zhang Dudu, don't forget Chen Qiong's fate, let alone who Chen Qiong is, Your Majesty's thoughts, it's really not difficult to guess." ”

This time, Zhang Wuxian was really speechless.

There was silence in the room.

After a long time, Xu Beiyou spoke again: "If it is usual, you are my senior, but today in the public speech, I call you Zhang Dudu, I don't believe you don't understand these truths." ”

Zhang Wuxian still didn't speak, just sighed softly.

Xu Beiyou stretched out his hand to erase the two words on the table, and slightly accentuated his tone, "Even I, who is outside the court, knows that there has never been any hesitation in temple battles, just like battlefield conquests, whether it is war, peace, or leaving, you have to make a decision immediately, and your predecessors are also people who lead troops all year round, can't you even understand such a simple truth?"

Xu Beiyou's fierce words can be described as ruthless, but Zhang Wuxian did not look angry, and after a little hesitation, he finally said slowly: "Since Nangui has already said this, then I might as well make it clear that before Nangui comes to Zhongdu, I have prepared two secret letters, which were handed over to Lan Xiangye and Wen Gong, and to this day, I don't think Lan Xiang has no power to fight back, and it is too early to say who wins and who loses." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Wuxi took out two secret letters sealed by fire paint from his sleeve, and he pinched the secret letter with the word "blue" written on it with two fingers, twisted it lightly, and disappeared.

Then he pushed the secret letter with the word "Han" written in front of Xu Beiyou.
