Chapter 205: Walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss
But unfortunately, he didn't see the slightest change in expression on Zhao Xin's face.
Li Cunxiao, who was standing behind him, sneered, and suddenly stepped aside casually, stretched out his hand and pressed against a wall, but he didn't see how hard he was.
The wall cracked with a clatter.
This action not only changed Zhang Yuan's face, but Cao Zishuo and Nan Wuwu were also shocked.
If Li Cunxiao punched a crack in the wall, although they would also be shocked, they were not so shocked.
They may not be able to do it themselves, but they know that someone can do it.
But Li Cunxiao didn't fight, but pressed, and it looked very relaxed, and he didn't use any force at all.
It was as if the wall had cracked on its own.
What a power!
You must know that this is the wall of the county guard's house, and the construction method is the same method used to cast the city wall, which is also built with yellow rice pulp mixed with rammed earth.
The degree of hardness is not comparable to that of ordinary houses.
Such a person, if he really punches him, I'm afraid the whole house will collapse, right?
And just when Li Cunxiao walked back to Zhao Xin's side calmly, the soldiers of the county guard mansion finally surrounded the door.
There was an uproar, and hundreds of knives and guns were pointed at Tang Siru and Ma Jianming, who were still guarding the door.
They are naturally the two who opened the curtain before.
One of them was holding a gun and the other was holding a knife, and they both looked a little nervous, but they didn't retreat!
"Who dare you...... Hey, aren't you from the Jinyi Guard?
The soldiers and generals of the county guard mansion couldn't help but be furious when they saw that they dared to show their weapons.
But then they recognized the two.
I was shocked and surprised.
Not long ago, they had just learned that there seemed to be a fire inside the Jinyi Guard, and then both sides disappeared.
What else did Cao Xiong, the eunuch of the palm print of the imperial court Dongchang, come to the Great Wilderness City, and the matter seems to have started because of him.
But he didn't want to see the two of them here, so he dared to run to the county guard's mansion to spread wild, and the captain couldn't help but be furious.
But at this moment, Zhang Yuan inside the door suddenly turned his head and scolded outside the door: "Stand down!"
"My lord?"
The generals suddenly heard Zhang Yuan's voice, and actually asked them to retreat, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
"Didn't you hear Lone let you stand down?"
Zhang Yuan snorted coldly again, and used the self-title of "lonely".
Zhang Yuannai is a county guard, and he has a knighthood, and he is already a prince, so he is naturally qualified to be called "lonely", but he usually likes to talk.
Good Huang Lao's technique.
Always in a group with some celebrities, so I rarely use this self-title.
At this time, hearing that he actually used this self-title, several generals were stunned.
But he heard Zhang Yuan say: "Everyone is thirty steps away from the inner hall, and no one is allowed to approach."
In addition, no one is allowed to enter or leave behind the gate of the county guard, and no one is allowed to leak this matter, and anyone who dares to violate the order will be killed!"
At this moment, Zhang Yuan had a bit of the majesty of a county guard.
Although the generals were surprised when they heard this, they did not dare to disobey their orders.
They all replied in unison, and then there was another sparse sound of armor, and they all withdrew within thirty steps of the back hall.
Inside and outside the flower hall, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There was no change in expression at the scene, probably Jiang Gonglan, Zhao Xin, and Li Cunxiao.
Of course, there were some people in the crowd who pretended to breathe a sigh of relief, but they secretly despised Zhang Yuan for being useless, and they were actually scared like this.
This person is naturally Cao Zishuo.
I don't say I'm disappointed, I just think it's too easy. And the feeling that it can be done like that.
didn't know that Zhao Xin had already done a lot of homework and preparations, and he had an understanding of Zhang Yuan that was far beyond his imagination, so this operation was born.
But it's not really so reckless.
It can be said that from his appearance, to entering the door to facing Zhang Yuan, every action, every sentence, and even every expression was psychologically rehearsed countless times in advance.
Otherwise, how dare he take risks?
Of course, these Cao Zishuo will definitely not be able to see it, he can't see it, and others don't know either.
Everyone just saw that after Zhao Xin sat down, he never said a word, and the whole process just looked at Zhang Yuan quietly.
Until Zhang Yuan turned over and bowed down, he said: "Minister, Zhang Yuan, the Marquis of the Great Wilderness County Shouhua Pavilion, greets the Son of Heaven!"
That Mr. Ning also hurriedly bowed down, but he just fell to the ground, trembling and afraid to speak.
Zhao Xin chuckled lightly, "Marquis Huating, how long have you and I not seen each other?"
Zhang Yuan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously swallowed and foamed: "The last time the minister saw His Majesty, it was the time of the first emperor's Christmas, and His Majesty was still in the palace at that time, and it has been five years so far.
See Your Majesty again today, but Your Majesty has been in the sky, and his bearing is even better than back then, and the minister almost didn't recognize it. ”
"Hehe, yes, it's been so long, don't you miss me, and I don't see you coming!"
Zhao Xin said with emotion, feeling like he was chatting about family life.
But Zhang Yuan, who was lying on the ground and never heard the sound of "flattening" or "please get up", sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.
His face changed again and again, and it took a moment to explain in a somewhat dry voice: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, how can there be a day when you don't miss Your Majesty when you are outside, but at that time... There was ......"
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly lost his breath.
Emperor Yuji, as a prince-level county guard, should naturally enter Beijing to congratulate.
But not all county guards will go.
If the court is strong, there will be more people.
The less vulnerable go to the less.
Like today's Great Qin, the central government has been weak for a long time.
Needless to say.
Most of them just send a congratulatory sheet and explain the reason why they can't congratulate in person, such as the inconvenience of the road.
For example, I am entangled in affairs.
Some are the truth, while others just shirk and just don't want to go.
And at that time, the government was controlled by Cui Cen, and the inner palace was in charge of the queen mother, so it didn't really matter to the emperor whether he went or not.
To a certain extent, not going is a kind of meaning of not giving face to the ministers.
But that kind of thing can't be said.
You have to say, well, you know that the powerful ministers are in the court, and you don't even go to help the emperor, what do you have in mind?
"What's there?"
The Emperor's voice rang out again.
Zhang Yuan couldn't see the emperor's expression with his head down, let alone hear the joy and anger of this voice.
Inexplicably, there is a feeling of Mount Tai pressing the top.
There are no distractions in his heart, and at this moment, he doesn't know what the emperor wants to do, whether it is purely to chat, to win over feelings, or to find an excuse to take him down.
In the past, he always felt that facing the prince of Qi was under a lot of pressure, which made him very uneasy.
But at this moment, he suddenly felt that it was so easy to face the prince of Qi Wang, it was like talking to someone.
And at this moment, he really felt like he was on the edge of the abyss and walking on thin ice.
However, it is clear that the prince of Qi has thousands of troops on his side, and he is still in the world.
At this time, there were obviously only a few people around the emperor.
Still in his county guard's mansion, why is this happening?
Why do I kneel on the ground, like a fish to be slaughtered, I am a dignified county guard, this is my county guard's mansion!
In an instant, he even had an impulse to call those soldiers back and fight to the death!
