Zhang Shizhao was absent-minded, but teachers and students Shang were already excited.
As a high-ranking military commander, General Shang's biggest hobbies in his life are armor, weapons, and war horses, especially war horses. Compared to the whole world, there are only a few objects like the Fulong Seal and the Shocking Dragon Sword that are somewhat out of place. Except for great supernatural powers, war horses are the easiest to absorb the vitality of heaven and earth and undergo changes. The so-called dragon colt can truly play a qualitative role in improving generals.
Not only that, he, Master and Student, was also a dragon colt. However, the dragon colt in the city so easily made his mount frightened. Didn't it mean that he had seen a real dragon?
In this way, having made up his mind, he reined in his horse and asked people to search around... In the evening, there was no ban on the entrance to Guanshi. After a while, someone came to report that it was the stables in the backyard of the west inn. There was a strange-looking spotted horse inside that was getting angry and kicking, and everyone in the inn was helpless.
Teacher Shang and his students were overjoyed and quickly got off their horses and invited Zhang Shizhao to watch it together. Since the latter was absent-minded, he followed him on the wet ground.
When we arrived at the place, the surroundings were already brightly lit. The spotted dragon colt was indeed extraordinary. It was just neighing and getting angry in the stable. The ordinary donkeys and horses around it were intimidated. Some of them fell to the ground with their knees weak, some were shaking like chaff, and some even broke away. The donkey and horse, which were close and tied up, became incontinent on the spot, making their anger even worse. ??
Not only that, if you look carefully, you will see that there are faint sarcomas hanging down from the horse's chin, like dragon whiskers.
At this scene, Master Shang, as a professional, was so excited. He didn't know that he had met a dragon colt that was rare in his life, but he hurriedly asked and gave instructions: "Whose dragon colt is this?" Such a waste? Quickly get twenty kilograms of meat, wrap fifty eggs and feed them! And prepare a bucket of clean well water to drink the horses!"
A group had already formed outside the stables, and all the guards and inn stewards were there. How could anyone who could do inn business in the city behind Long Prison Pass not know this person?
General Shang is the sky above his head, so he is naturally very busy.
Taking advantage of this gap, Teacher Shang and his students stared at the horse that was still having a fit. In an instant, they changed their minds and decided to give their original mounts to Sima Zheng and then tame the spotted dragon colt themselves. !
Even if you can’t tame them for a while, you have to stay!
"Why do you think this spotted dragon colt looks familiar?" At this moment, Zhang Shizhao spoke from the shadow behind. "It seems to belong to some general in Dongdu..."
"Isn't that right?" Teacher and student Shang also twisted their beards and laughed when they heard this. "This kind of dragon colt must have an owner, and it is either a powerful person or a hero. That is to say, now that the Eastern Capital has changed its owner, everyone is frightened, the powerful people have been wiped out, and the heroes have been deposed, so they can reach this point. Otherwise, why don't you have money to buy meat for the dragon colt? This dragon Where is the owner of the colt?"
"Report to the general." The innkeeper had been waiting cautiously for a long time. He immediately put his hands together and informed. "The owner of this horse is indeed a strong and powerful man. He is also a hero at first glance. He led the horse and carried weapons from the direction of Dongdu in the early ten days of the year. However, it turned out to be a useless showpiece. He fell ill the same day he arrived and lay in bed. He didn't move in the guest room... He was actually not a poor person, but he was probably in a hurry. He really didn't have much money with him, and he didn't plan to stay with us for a long time. As a result, after he recovered from the illness, he left us. Of course it’s hard to get rid of it, but it’s a bit difficult to get rid of this horse every day. To be honest, we injured two people in the afternoon, and there were a few guests who wanted to get the horse, but they couldn’t and were delayed. Come down."
"Of course he was in a hurry." Teacher and student Shang turned around and smiled, but looked at Zhang Shizhao. "Xiangong Zhang, do you think he was separated because of Uncle Cao's death, or did he want to join the British Duke?"
"Maybe he wants to defect to Li Shu!" Zhang Shizhao said disapprovingly. "These days, no one says anything good about anything."
Teacher Shang and his students thought that the other party was joking, so they laughed on the spot. Among the others, it was the first time they heard the word "Xiangong" and they looked at Zhang Shizhao in surprise.
After a while, the meat wrapped in eggs was delivered. Teacher and student Shang personally took it and carried it to them and placed it in front of the trough. The spotted horse opened its mouth and ate it, tearing the flesh and blood as if chewing grass. The people around were stunned. Master Shang and his students were even more happy, and they became more determined. No matter who it was, even Sima Zheng was lying inside, he would be sure of this dragon colt.
As soon as he thought of this, he turned around and entered the inn without greeting Zhang Shizhao, and many people swarmed in behind him.
Only Zhang Shizhao was probably too lazy to watch the excitement. Instead, he just stood there, looking at the dragon colt with its head lowered to eat meat, and waited quietly.
On the other side, in the inn, Qin Bao and Qin Erlang realized the situation as early as the afternoon when his horse started making noise, not to mention that people in the inn came to complain about him and asked him how to calm the spotted beast, but he So what?
There is nothing he can do.
After moving in that day, after a night of wind and rain, this recognized warrior suddenly fell ill, and was so ill that he could hardly move... The wound was on the pipa bone, mainly because the upper body was completely unable to move. His strength and vitality seemed to have been cut off. At the same time, his whole body ached, and he could only try to maintain his posture on the bed.
Of course, this was only during the attack, Qin Bao was not paralyzed all day long.
Sometimes, when the weather is good, he only attacks for an hour or two in the evening or early morning. Sometimes, when the weather is bad, such as on the first day and today, he only has a few hours to brave the whole day. Act with severe pain.
But the problem is, even in the best condition, would he dare to leave this place and go out of Long Prison Pass to the war zone? If he really gets sick on the way or on the battlefield, it is very likely that a young man can stab him to death with a dung fork, okay?
And since he couldn't leave, he could only sit back and wait for the hero to fall into despair, watching helplessly as he fell into the ultimate predicament.
Pain and paralysis have already broken down a military general who was fighting in front of the battle, and the unexpected but natural poverty has accelerated the deprivation of his dignity. For a sick man, how can he be less blank in the inn? Already?
That's not all, you know, this is the official inn of Longqiao Pass, there is no shortage of news!
Therefore, he had to accept the changes in the outside world, and had to accept that all the people he knew were lying in this small room in a humiliating posture while risking everything and their own fate within the distance that he could originally reach. In the hotel room.
He even wanted to thank the innkeeper for his generosity in not driving him out when he was ill.
At this time, the thing that frightened him the most happened because he had expected it.
"This general is the teacher and student of Dragon Prison Guanzheng." Teacher and student Shang stood at the door and raised their hands to the bearded and sunken man in the corner. He didn't mean to be rude. In fact, he saw it at a glance. A big iron gun and a pair of coppers were wrapped in cloth at the foot of the bed, and then he opened his mouth. "May I ask your name, are you in the same row as Dongdu?"
"I dare not call them the same group." Qin Bao was actually ill at this time and could only lie on the couch and lean against the corner to grit his teeth. "I'm just a street cleaner. Now that the Eastern Capital is in chaos, I just want to go back home and pass by here."
Teacher and student Shang heard the other party's accent and knew that it was indeed the accent from Dengzhou. They also believed that the other party was returning home, but they did not believe in the other party's identity as a street tiger.
But, now that things have happened, so what if people don’t want to talk about it?
"How dare I ask for your name?" Teacher and student Shang continued to ask calmly.
"Zhang Zhang Shuyong." Qin Er picked up the name at random.
"With your size and weapons, I would believe it if you said it was Wang Shuyong." Master Shang said with a smile, and then handed over his hand again. "Let me tell you straight... Can you part with the dragon colt outside?"
Qin Bao kept silent.
Honor teachers and students
Nodding, others may not understand how he, as a horse lover, could not understand the other party's struggle, but he was determined to win this horse, so he gave it away. When his mother came to take him back to the east capital, Zhou Shi brought Li Qingju to pick him up and said to Shang Liu: "Qin
However, not to mention whether Li Qingchen's face can stop Teacher Shang and his students, nor the pain of summoning his wife out of the city due to the chaos of war, the key issue is that if he summons his family and Li Qingchen, wouldn't it be equivalent to turning back? Once he looks back, will he be able to make up his mind to follow suit again in this life?
Huan was still standing at the door and speaking seriously. "I won't say anything serious about the abuse. It's not our fault that General Gao really wants to rob us.
Accompanied by the severe pain in his shoulder blades, Qin Bao, who was already a broken man from Shudu, quickly determined that he could go out secretly or find him quickly and couldn't keep up! And he no longer wanted to follow you, so he told Ku to calm him down.
? Anyway, you should have called someone to pick you up... Let me tell you the truth.
He won't today
I don’t dare to keep you here anymore because of General Cao’s involvement in my Spotted Tumor Beast Book Tea.
Thinking of this, Qin Erlang was almost heartbroken.
Qin Erlang was silent for a long time, knowing that he was forced into a corner and could not delay.
We can only follow Nan Wenjie Furniture's multiple injuries and downfall, and then be forced to sell his beloved horse to pay back the money. Is this God's will? Did Sanhui and Siyu design him to suffer like this, as a punishment to cause trouble for the money that the second master of Qin had killed three days ago? Punishing myself for trying to survive in these troubled times
The main reason is that the dragon colt is too expensive, but together it can only last about five taels... The current situation is not good, and fresh meat is too expensive. "
If you put it this way, the pain of your trip will be even more difficult, but you don't know why you have to wait for yourself to repay the consequences?
If it doesn't work, the shopkeeper said with a smile. "Master Qin, don't say this is ordinary. Thinking of this, Zuo Erlang took the blame and looked at the weapon that the double bronze man couldn't use. Even the dragon colt, I didn't dare to ask for it. , otherwise I would not have been burned in tears, drunk in clothes, and beaten into chaos by the disaster." But I supported Cheng Shao, and my face was in a mess.
Qin Bao nodded hard: "If that's the case, please give me a stick of incense to stay at the inn. Others can come back from the guest room."
My head is a little dizzy now
But he looked a little surprised and calculated, then turned to one side and Zhang Shizhao smiled bitterly and said: "Xiangong Zhang, if you think this is the case, then you will hand him over and resign. The man will be at the end of his rope. I will also wait for it and prepare to give you gold and silver."
He started to cry
I feel dejected just because I want to seize the treasure through force and recklessness, but how can I really think about it? As far as this body calculation is concerned, what if someone is unreasonable and just takes the horse away? "To put it more seriously, we can't pass the test of being in a store... No matter what, my mother never taught me how to live in other people's stores and eat from other people's food without paying for it."
"Who is it? Does it have a name?"
Si Lai thought about it, if he wanted to keep this horse, there was only one way, that is, the store owner Lian Taier gave out his last name, Qian, told his family and Li Twelve Lang, and asked Yueniang to pick him up back to Dongdu, and at the same time take Li Qingchen Come and block these teachers and students.
However, let alone whether Li Qingchen's face could stop Master Shang and his students, nor whether he could summon his wife out of the city due to the chaos of war, the key question was, if he summoned his family and Li Qingchen, wouldn't it be equivalent to turning back? Once he looks back, will he be able to make up his mind to follow suit again in this life? !
Accompanied by severe pain in his shoulder blades, Qin Bao, who was never an indecisive person, quickly determined a belief - he couldn't go back, otherwise he would never be able to keep up! And I no longer want to live that kind of life of struggle and hesitation!
However, this also confirmed another fact - he had to sell his spotted beast today!
Qin Erlang almost felt heartbroken at the thought.
Then a thought came to him in a trance, first he was injured and devastated, and then he was forced to sell his beloved horse to pay back the money. Is this God's will? Did Sanhui Siyu design him to suffer this as punishment? Can't act firmly before punishing yourself? Punishing myself for trying to evade the crime in such troubled times?
If you put it this way, I am afraid that the pain of my trip will be even more difficult, but I don’t know what will be waiting for me in the future?
Thinking of this, Qin Erlang leaned against the corner. The tall man couldn't help but burst into tears. When the tears fell, they wet his messy beard and hair, making his face messy.
In the stables of the inn, it was nothing more than others. Teacher Shang and his students who came back from the guest room were slightly surprised. Then they looked at Zhang Shizhao and smiled bitterly: "Xiangong Zhang, what do you think this is? He is a man who is at the end of his rope, and so am I. I treated him politely and prepared to buy it with real money, but he started crying and thought I was robbing him by force!"
"Crying?" Zhang Shizhao looked surprised.
"yes."
"Who is it? Does it have a name?"
"He said he was Mr. Qin, but he used a false name when he met me..."
"It's him."
"Are they really from the same group as Dongdu?"
"Yes." Zhang Shizhao sighed. "Cao Lin's confidant general, he was born in Jing'antai, but he is a first-class battlefield expert. I remember that he was already a captain before. His cultivation and official position were all barely able to get into the palace... I didn't expect that such a man could actually do it. I can even be forced to cry by you."
"How can you talk about being forced by me?" Teacher and student Shang were speechless. "I said it all, and I said it in a loud and angry way."
"I'm just asking you, if they don't like it, will you not want the horse today?" Zhang Shizhao sneered.
"I want it no matter what." Teacher and student Shang was sincere. "This is truly a dragon colt that I have never seen before! If I can't get it, I would rather die."
"Isn't that forced?" Zhang Shizhao still twisted his beard and sneered. "Old Shang, I am a young man with such a promising future, and now he is suffering from poverty and disease on the road... Of course he is dead and useless, but if he continues in one breath, the so-called thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hedong Hexi, don’t bully young people into poverty, especially in troubled times. In the future, if someone has the upper hand, they will blame you for taking the horse today and torture you. Can you say that someone is petty?"
"I know that I am no match for my husband in terms of words." Teacher and student Shang thought about it for a while and simply responded. "I know what my husband means, but I really can't let go of this horse. I'm responsible for all the consequences... Besides, since he's crying, he's discouraged. I'll give him enough money as a colleague later." That’s the treatment.”
How could Zhang Shizhao persuade him so deeply? He just nodded casually.
But since they could hear people crying in the room, Teacher Shang and his students calmed down and waited for a while, watching the spotted and tumorous Longju finish eating the meat and eggs before urging the innkeeper to come in. The latter had no choice but to lower his head and go in and say hello.
Seeing the person coming, Qin Er tried his best to accommodate him: "General Shang forced the shopkeeper to just give up.
"Forget it!" Qin Er raised his head and sighed. "If you want me to sell my beloved horse, you need not only money, but also three things!"
"Master Qin, please speak." The shopkeeper sighed, seemingly helpless and relieved.
"Firstly, please ask a famous doctor to check and recuperate my body; secondly, I want to leave the customs and return to my hometown. The situation has changed too fast. Please leave me a customs clearance document signed by General Shang; thirdly, please inform me about the customs clearance outside the country. The specific military and political situation..." Qin Erlang finished speaking word by word. "If he agrees, I will sell my beloved horse to him."
After saying this, Qin Erlang felt suddenly relieved and broke out in sweat on the spot. Even the wound on his shoulder blade seemed to have eased by two points.
The innkeeper didn't say a word, and left again and again. Instead, he went outside to find Master Shang and his students, and narrated everything in detail.
Teacher and student Shang had nothing to say. They pondered for a moment and then nodded directly.
But at this time, Zhang Shizhao interrupted: "He didn't let his family pick him up? Did he just want to leave the country?"
"Yes." The innkeeper said cautiously.
"Does Mr. Zhang have anything to say?" Teacher and student Shang were slightly puzzled.
"No." Zhang Shizhao still stood in the shadow, motionless. "No, I just feel that young people nowadays care about face."
Master Shang was already impatient. After hearing this, he nodded and waved his hand: "I agreed! Tell that Erlang Qin, Captain Qin, that I agreed. It's just about the military and political situation. I have important things to do and I have to leave as soon as possible. I only left Tell him to join the army!"
As he said that, he stepped forward to take the spotted beast and headed out. .??
Besides, the spotted beast was a top-quality dragon colt. It had a lazy temperament after eating and drinking at first. When it was led away, it followed the situation out of the stable. But when it came to the door of the inn, it woke up and suddenly stood in the courtyard. It stopped at the door threshold, then neighed loudly. At this time, the stable stable once again became chaotic. Even the horses parked outside were obviously panicked and out of control. The horses were out of control and the people were a little weak.
Master Shang and his students only had eyes for this dragon colt. When they saw this, they hurried to comfort him, but this dragon colt was obviously a personality and they paid no attention to it at all. Master Shang and his students tried to pull again, but Longju pressed his hoof against the threshold again while continuing to neigh.
Just when the scene was frozen, two yards away, a voice suddenly rolled up with a roar of true energy, instantly overwhelming the dragon's neighing: "Let's go! Let's go! We brothers will meet again in the future!" "
Hearing this, the dragon colt seemed to understand it, but it struggled to lift its front hooves. Teacher Shang and the students were close enough to see with their own eyes that the dragon's whiskers under its jaws were also swollen and red, and then it neighed as hard as it could.
There was actually a faint hint of true energy stirring in this cry.
For a moment, not only the animals inside and outside the inn were out of control and panicked, but also the people were a little panicked. At this time, the sky that had already rained down during the day suddenly flashed, and then there was thunder.
Everyone was dumbfounded, even Zhang Shizhao looked at the sky a little absent-mindedly, but Teacher Shang and his students could not help but be overjoyed.
In this way, after struggling for a long time, as some raindrops fell, everyone was on their way to Dongdu again.
And after the third watch, they arrived in Dongdu.
At this time, the Xuzhou Army, or the elite forwards of the Eastern Capital who had returned from Xuzhou, had arrived and began to take over the city defense and storage overnight. The nobles, bureaucrats, and soldiers in the city were also busy everywhere. According to reports, Sima Zheng will be in At dawn, he returned to the Eastern Capital City, which was hungry for him.
The Eastern Capital City was built about twenty years ago. It was the first time that the current saint ascended the throne to collect labor force on a large scale and quickly. At that time, no one thought that this kind of behavior similar to mass killing would happen again and again, would be continuous, would cause the people at the bottom to completely explode, and would cause the entire Wei Dynasty to collapse.
At that time no one cared about these dead slave laborers.
It's not just that, it's not just how many low-level people died in the construction of the Eastern Capital City. What's next is the migration of the essence of Guanlong, which is the ultimate collection of the people's wealth and anointing from the world over the past twenty years.
Now, when everyone in the Wei Dynasty knows that it will perish, this city still has a population of more than one million, hundreds of workshops, many warehouses, countless materials and craftsmen, and with this A city can naturally control the heart of the world, and can easily radiate to the sacred lands of several surrounding counties.
This is the land of Tianyuan. In troubled times, no one can ignore this city.
And now, at this time, this city is about to welcome its new owner, or its new guardian.
After all, Zhang Shizhao was Zhang Shizhao. After he entered the city with Master Shang and his students, he immediately alarmed many people. For a time, everyone from Nanya Xianggong to market and city gate officials came to greet him. Zhang Shiben even came as a clan brother. He took off his white-haired cloak and put it on the former husband himself to keep him warm from the rain at night.
On the contrary, teachers and students were ignored at all.
You should know that although Xianggong Zhang had some opinions before, he was willing to surrender. Therefore, after getting along with each other for a few days, Teacher Shang and his students could not help but gradually become perfunctory. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but feel scared.
It's just that he finally got a dragon colt, so he doesn't care about anything anymore.
Not talking about teachers and students, just Zhang Shizhao, how can we say this? Nowadays, these people can be seen and talked about whenever they want. For him, they are the handlers everywhere in Dongdu City today.
However, Zhang Shizhao, who was resurrected from the dead, and Zhang Xianggong glanced at
After walking around in a circle, he suddenly remembered something: "How long has Cao Lin been dead?"
"Seven or eight days." Zhang Shiben answered immediately. "Jing'an Station has blocked the news. No one knows exactly what day he died. It's just that there was a big storm seven or eight days ago. Everyone said it was the weather when the great master died..."
"Has he been buried?" In the corridor under Tianjie, Zhang Shizhao continued to ask himself, by the light of the fire, that this was actually a distant branch of his clan.
"No." Zhang Shiben couldn't help but sneered. "The people in Jing'antai are still using Cao Lin's power to control the city. How dare they bury him? They just want people to think Cao Lin is still alive!"
Zhang Shizhao nodded indifferently when he heard this, and then suddenly said: "You all should go back!"
"ah?"
"I'll go see him." Zhang Shizhao said seriously.
After saying that, he actually left everyone behind, got on his horse wearing a white fur cloak, and then walked along Tianjie. Everyone looked at the direction, and they should be going to Jing'an Terrace.
In fact, this is indeed the case. Zhang Shizhao rejected the invitations of several ministers and nobles, and took advantage of the night rain to come directly to the outside of Jing'an Terrace. At this moment, the lights were brightly lit. Li Twelve Lang, who was now in charge, was naturally surprised when he heard the news. , but I dare not not come out to greet him.
"Mr. Zhang." Li Twelve Lang's complexion was even worse than a few days ago. Even when he saluted, he felt like he was shivering from the cold in spring.
"Is the person dead?" Zhang Shizhao, riding on a horse, got straight to the point.
"It should be considered so." Li Twelve's eyes were a little wandering. "I am not sure as well."
"I want to see him." Zhang Shizhao said simply.
"Of course." Li Twelve stepped aside directly.
And Zhang Shizhao did not hesitate, he rode directly onto the bridge, and then went to the collapsed black tower. When he came to the foot of the tower, he took a look at the completely collapsed black tower, and then got off the horse and followed Li Twelve Lang's instructions. Go to the small courtyard opposite the black tower.
Arriving here and entering the courtyard, Zhang Shizhao saw his old opponent at a glance, but he breathed a sigh of relief, because the opponent should indeed be dead.
Dead means that Cao Lin was lying stiffly on a rocking chair in the corridor, no longer breathing, as if his life was completely cut off; and should mean that there is still a small glow around the wound on the other person's chest. The Qi illuminated the small courtyard clearly, like a lamp in the rainy night; as for the truth, it means that Zhang Shizhao came to the other party in person and saw everything with his own eyes, not listening to rumors or guessing.
Then, Zhang Shizhao stepped forward and came to the other party. When he saw that the other party was dead but lifelike, his nose felt slightly sore.
brThen, there was a long period of silence and chaotic thoughts.
Li Qingchen and others were standing by, and they didn't say anything. They just lowered their heads and waited in the rain.
After an unknown amount of time, suddenly, someone on a three-story building not far away struggled to shake a torch, and the silence was broken.
"Mr. Zhang, Sima Erlang has arrived at the south gate. Do you want to see him?" Li Twelve Lang stepped forward and asked.
Zhang Shizhao did not say a word, but stared at the corpse in front of him. Specifically, he stared at the glowing Qi on the chest of the corpse.
Li Qingchen also immediately turned his head.
Without him, at this moment, the ball of real energy that had been solidified there suddenly began to sway as if being blown by the wind.
Then it cracks, drifts, and escapes.
Almost in an instant, the group of true energy that had been silent for seven or eight days suddenly dissipated.
Not sure if it was an illusion, Li Qingchen felt the ground shake, but then, this slight feeling was obscured by the lightning and thunder above his head.
It's a typical spring thunder, but it breaks out suddenly at night.
Under the spring thunder, Li Twelve Lang looked at Zhang Shizhao in despair, only to find that Mr. Zhang, who had no extra expression or posture, suddenly became serious, or a little angry.
Everything was so sudden and inexplicable.
It was not just Li Twelve Lang and Zhang Shizhao who noticed something. At almost the same moment, Sima Zheng, who was wearing golden armor, swayed on his horse in the south gate of Dongdu, and then stopped.
He clearly felt that the entire Dongdu seemed to have set off a wave, and then rolled the entire thing towards him, making him feel as if he was stepping on some huge wave.
At this moment, the talented master suddenly realized what was happening. This was the so-called earth energy, the earth energy of Dongdu.
The tower is erected to suppress the earth's energy, to guide the earth's energy, and to combine the earth's energy.
This is the way forward.
At the very least, it is the path of spiritual practice.
As for why this earth energy suddenly appeared now, he was still a little confused.
Also confused was Qin Bao, who was inside Longqing Pass. He had already taken medicine for external application and internal use. Qin Erlang was lying down with many worries. Suddenly, he felt as if a layer of shackles had been removed from his body... The injury was still there. It still hurts, and the Qi is still blocked, but the whole body feels as if some burden has been lifted.
Of course, Zhang Shizhao and Li Qingchen probably knew a little bit about what happened.
What could it be? It’s not that when someone died, he had to suppress Dongdu’s atmosphere and wait for someone to come before spreading out. This led to something... And it was precisely because of this that at that moment, Mr. Zhang suddenly became Anger, not the expected sadness.
Zhang Shizhao, who suddenly realized what had happened, waited for a moment, suppressed his anger, and turned around to leave without responding to Li Qingchen.
The man came to the black tower and got on his horse, and then walked slowly outside. When he came to the bridge, his son Zhang Changxuan, who came after hearing the news, had already led a group of family members to kneel here in the face of lightning and thunder, as a sign of peace. meet.
Zhang Shizhao didn't say a word and just rode over. His family members were so surprised that they got up and quickly mounted their horses to surround him, preparing to escort his old master, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, back to his home.
At this time, Zhang Shizhao suddenly remembered something, reined in his horse again, took off his white-haired cloak, and threw it to Li Qingchen who sent it out: "Li Twelve Lang, keep your body, your body is the capital of your career!"
Li Qingchen smiled bitterly, without any analysis or explanation, he just bowed his head and put it on.
Mr. Zhang ignored him and hurried back under the escort of his family.
Back in the mansion, everyone in the mansion was waiting, but they were waved away by Grand Prime Minister Zhang. Then they went straight into the hall, but only his own son, Zhang Changxuan, was allowed to stay. Zhang Shizhao was sitting in the hall, and Zhang Changxuan was standing at the bottom of the hall. The father and son were relatively safe. Taking advantage of the lightning and thunder outside, Mr. Zhang made a surprising statement:
"I'm leaving soon."
Even though Zhang Changxuan had long been desensitized to his father's various behaviors, when he heard the words, he was a little confused and confused, and also ridiculous and speechless.
"The world is in turmoil, and if you are not careful, the family may be cut off, so there are things you and I should say clearly and simply." Zhang Shizhao spoke eloquently and looked calm, as if he was in high spirits. "The first one, according to common sense, should be the old man like me who should be the one who keeps the status quo, while the young people like you should run around and make achievements, but I don't care about your talents, knowledge, or cultivation. Anyway, I am the most ambitious one. So, you will guard our house, and I, an old man, will go and make contributions... Do you understand?"
"Yes." Of course Zhang Changxuan understood.
"Secondly, since you are guarding it, how you guard it is up to you. I won't say any more. It's just that I won't worry you about where I was before and where I'm going soon, but I have to keep it in mind for you." Zhang Shizhao said. Here, there is a faint sigh. "I was captured by Zhang San before and lived in the Deposed Dragon Gang."
Zhang Changxuan nodded immediately. This was not unexpected. The Dragon Gang hijacked the team and claimed to have killed his own father. However, when they collected the body, they did not find it. He had already thought of this possibility.
"As for why I came here at this time, it's not to do some business or to devise some conspiracy..." Zhang Shizhao continued to speak with a frown. "It just happened that I was at Li Shu's place before, and Li Shu was about to cause trouble and do something bad. A gentleman would not stand under a dangerous wall. In order to protect himself, he took the opportunity to escape."
That's right, leaving Li Shu is just to leave Li Shu. Leaving itself is the greatest meaning.
Zhang Changxuan nodded immediately.
"In other words, I just returned to Dongdu accidentally." Zhang Shizhao's speech speed obviously slowed down. "Only when I entered Dongdu, I suddenly thought of Cao Lin, so I went to see Cao Lin. When I saw him dead, I was relieved and sad. I saw Cao Lin again even if he risked his life, but he was angry! He He can be regarded as a great hero, and his cultivation is a hundred times better than mine, but he is hampered by his identity and family ties. Even after death, he will do his best there and use his body as a lampshade... Therefore, besides being angry, I am determined to not be able to do anything. Learn from him! There is a reason why I have always looked down on him! But if you are ambitious, you should take a gamble and give it a try! So, I am leaving right now!"
Zhang Changxuan hesitated for a moment, then asked seriously: "Father, if you are ambitious, I wonder if Sima Erlang might entrust you to you?"
"Sima Zheng's entry into the Eastern Capital was a brilliant move, and his momentum was greatly increased, but I felt that he still felt a little restrained." Zhang Shizhao certainly had no need to hide it from his son. "And my ambition and long-cherished wish in my life are actually still with the Wu Clan...I tried my best to completely wipe out the Wu Clan! Is Sima Zheng enough?"
Zhang Changxuan suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly: "My son understands. Father, just go and find the British Duke! I will definitely protect my home here in Dongdu."
"You are just good at guarding the house." Zhang Shizhao stood up, walked vigorously, and walked past his son with his hands behind his back. "The world is in turmoil, and I, an old remnant, have risked my life, but I can only bet on this outcome. Although the British Duke has a three-point victory, but Bai Sanniang is not here, even if it succeeds, I can only stick to the old ways, and there is a faint feeling. It's just the late emperor, so why should I vote for him? It would be better to depose the Dragon Gang.
Although there is a three-point disadvantage, it is reforming everywhere, and it is bound to redouble its extravagance... Therefore, I, Zhang Daxuan, have already thought about it. If I want to fall, it will fall on the Deposed Dragon Gang! It’s just that today’s resolution has fallen apart! "
With that said, he already walked out with his hands behind his back.
