Hearing this, Fazheng also had red eyes, and He Sian's identity was also known to him. As the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant. Fazheng knelt down and bowed deeply, saying: "Thanks to His Highness and Mr. Wenhe for their respect, Zheng, you should do it." You will die!!"
Seeing this, He Si'an hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zhi, please don't do such a big gift again. If it weren't for his status, Si'an would treat him like an elder brother."
Hearing this, Fazheng was even more moved. To be honest, Liu Yan treated Fazheng with courtesy and kindness!
But as Liu Yan grew older, Liu Zhang's character changed. If it were a time of peace, he would naturally be a qualified lord, but in troubled times, Cao Cao controls the government and has the support of famous families. As Liu Zhang, let alone the day when the dynasty changes, let alone the local power in Yizhou, I'm afraid it will be difficult to compete. As for Liu Xun, although he seemed to have accomplished little in the past year and was both civil and military, in Fa Zheng's view, he was just a headstrong person. It was for this reason that Fa Zheng decided to take a dangerous risk at the instigation of Zhang Song and Meng Da. Fight!
Originally he was quite disdainful of He Sian, the former puppet emperor Han Xiandi, but after learning about his actions in Wudu and the various incredible omens from Zhang Song's mouth, his perception of him changed drastically. In the eyes of Fazheng, he does not believe in the so-called chosen one. However, He Sian knows how to be patient, able to bend and stretch, and can find the best route in a certain death situation. At least in Fazheng's view, it would be difficult for anyone to do better than He Si'an.
And whether it is his attitude towards Zhang Song or towards himself, it can show the extent of his thirst for talents. In troubled times, He Sian already has all the conditions to become a wise king!
As for why he proposed to send He Sian out of the city to avoid the spotlight, it was entirely because of Fazheng's understanding of Liu Zhang and his son. Chengdu was too peaceful. It was not so much that he and Zhang Song were thinking closely, but since He Sian and his party appeared in Yizhou, everything had changed. It seemed too smooth, and even somewhat deliberate. If they had seen through it, neither Liu Zhang nor Liu Xun should have reacted like this.
It was not until noon today that Fazheng heard the news from Zhang Song's entrustment that the Tiger Talisman had been taken away by Liu Xun instead of the Tiger Talisman. Fazheng suddenly realized that Liu Yan had arranged all of this. The opposition forces in Yizhou were wiped out in one fell swoop. If this is the case, then wouldn't he and Zhang Song and Mengda... Thinking of this, Fazheng shuddered, but he had to shoot the arrow with the arrow on the string. At this time, it was already too late to inform Zhang Song and others. It would be best if he thought too much, but if It was really Liu Yan who did it. The best way Fazheng could think of was to take advantage of the chaos and flee back to Hanzhong with his wife, children and He Sian to plot the future.
"Si'an knows Xiaozhi's concerns, and Mr. Wenhe has already made arrangements." After saying this, He Si'an looked at Jia Xu, and Fazheng also looked at Jia Xu with a surprised look on his face. The latter coughed twice, and then He Si'an said, Fa Zheng said: "Don't worry, Xiaozhi. Your lord and I have already prepared a countermeasure. We are not going anywhere. We will only rest at the residence arranged by Liu Zhang for your lord."
He waved his hand towards Fazheng, who was about to speak, and continued with a smile: "If Xiaozhi can trust my lord, you can return with us and wait and see what happens."
He Sian on the side shook his head and said, "No, let Xiaozhi take advantage of the chaos and take his family out of the city to avoid the danger."
Fa Zheng understood what He Sian meant. If they failed, He Sian and the others would most likely be fine, but he would definitely be ruined. But... without thinking too much, Fa Zheng gritted his teeth and said firmly: "Your Highness, please don't say anything. , if you don’t dislike it, I will accompany His Highness back home!!”
After walking out of the house, the old servant of the Fazheng family waiting on the roadside looked at Fazheng, who was wearing He Sian's guard uniform. When he was surprised, Fazheng gave him a look. The old servant understood the idea and remained silent. When passing by him, Fazheng whispered: "Go home quickly and tell my wife that they don't have to wait for me. The people I arranged will lead them out of the city during the chaos." Immediately, he followed He Sian. , return to your residence together!
Different from the noisy Chengdu in the past, the streets today were particularly quiet. The group soon arrived at He Sian's mansion. The guards stayed at the door as usual and the rest of them filed in. Niuniu in the hall ran away in a hurry after hearing the sound. He came out, but when he saw Jia Xu and the unfamiliar Fa Zheng, he quickly stopped, coughed lightly, walked forward in small steps to He Sian, performed the Wanfu salute coquettishly, and said, "I have met your husband!"
Jia Xu, who was behind him, looked at Fazheng who was standing aside with an expression of familiarity and said, "The weather is good today." Fazheng also looked to the side awkwardly and echoed, "Well, the layout of the courtyard is quite good."
He Sian, with a dark look on his face, flicked Niu Niu's forehead and said, "What a bad temper you have!!!" Then he turned around and looked at Fazheng and Fazheng apologetically, and said to Jia Xu, "You two are just kidding me! Sir, first Let Xiaozhi take a look at the scenery of the courtyard..." Before he could finish, he caught a glimpse of two lifeless corpses in black clothes in the corner of the wall. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and changed his words and continued: "Scenery... um... look at the weather. Si'an will come out to accompany you two later!" After saying this, he pulled Niuniu into the back house.
When He Sian and He Sian disappeared from sight, Jia Xu smiled and said to Fazheng: "I have heard about Xiaozhi's family history for a long time. How about you and I playing chess?"
At this time, Fazheng had calmed down and nodded with a smile. After a while, He Sian walked out of the inner courtyard and came to the two people playing chess. He took out a few cigarettes from his clothes, lit them for Jia Xu and himself, and smoked them. After a few mouthfuls, he glanced at Fazheng, who was slightly embarrassed, and handed one to him. Fazheng lowered his head, took it solemnly, and imitated the example of He Sian and the others and took a sip. As the smoke entered his body, he found that his mind suddenly became clear, and his originally nervous mood gradually calmed down. He looked up and saw that in the sky The clouds were thick, covering the starry sky.
There were a few faint sounds of clappers coming from outside the house. Seeing that it was the time of day, Fazheng sorted out his complicated thoughts, bowed his hands to He Sian, and said, "Master, Ziqiao and the others should also take action. Let's..."
He Sian took a deep breath of cigarette and exhaled it for a long time. Just when he was about to speak, Jia Xu spoke first: "Lord, let me speak."
Just listen to Jia Xu continue to say: "We are bound to win Yizhou. What we have to do is to try to avoid unnecessary casualties while ensuring success. Some sacrifices are unavoidable, Mo Shuozi Qiao, for the great cause of my lord, I will never look back even if I am a subordinate."
Hearing this, Fazheng's expression was slightly sad, but he was also relieved. After all, such topics were put on the table and explained clearly to him, and the grudge in Fazheng's heart was also eliminated a lot.
