"Come quickly, Sima has been assassinated!" A horrified shout, accompanied by a series of female voices, resounded throughout Liuyan Village in an instant.
Zhang Yuan's death was quickly discovered. This was something that could not be hidden. Moreover, Zhang Yuan's special identity was destined to be something that no one dared to conceal.
Zhang Wenbiao, the governor of Hengzhou, cared about his uncle not only because of the importance of blood, but of course also as a back-up move to gather strength in Chu Nan. That day, he rejected the Sima sent by Zhou Xingfeng and supported his uncle Zhang Yuan to mount the horse because he was the main force of his Zhang family.
For Zhou Xingfeng, since Hengzhou was handed over to Zhang Wenbiao, he naturally wouldn't care about his private actions. Although we have to guard against Zhang Wenbiao's expansion, as a general guarding the border, he naturally cannot contain him everywhere.
There is not much age difference between Zhang Yuan and Zhang Wenbiao, and they are Zhang Wenbiao's biological uncles. Although he is not as experienced as Zhang Wenbiao, he is still a very talented person. Because Zhang Wenbiao was in charge of the state, he became a senior member of Chunan, so he naturally wanted to put his talents to good use.
There are many so-called talents in troubled times. In peaceful times, they may be just rogues, because the opportunities in troubled times will give them more opportunities to show their talents. Because in troubled times, there are more opportunities and uncertain factors for people to develop, and there are more platforms for people to show their intelligence.
Although human life is not valuable at this time, in many cases, it is precisely because of this worthlessness that it can be further confirmed that in this era, everyone is the same in the face of opportunity and death.
The era when generals, prime ministers, princes, and princes were inferior to chickens meant that everyone had the opportunity to realize their ideals. For those who wanted to become successful but did not have many opportunities. Seizing an opportunity may change the future of a person or a family.
Zhang Yuan obviously had this ambition. After becoming the Sima of Hengzhou, he carried out his own ideas boldly. Because today's Hengzhou is not like the previous dynasty, Zhang Yuan has obviously become the emperor since Zhang Wenbiao entered Hengzhou.
Since you can speak in Hengzhou, anyone who is a little smart will have his own plan. Although it was a large border state bordering the Southern Tang and Southern Han Dynasties, Hengzhou did not have a long history, which was common since the end of the previous dynasty.
What's more, since the world is scattered, the princes everywhere have too much time to take care of themselves, and the talents are extremely limited, how can there be so many positions? Moreover, since Zhang Wenbiao came to Hengzhou, the calculation in his mind became even more clear. Not only does he hold the power tightly in his hands, but he also strives to cultivate the people around him. Zhang Yuan is naturally the number one person. In Hengzhou City, he actually holds many positions by himself.
Although he took up his position in Hengzhou City because of Zhang Wenbiao, it also showed his personal ability and talent. If he were Adou, Zhang Wenbiao would naturally not let him stick to his position. In fact, he not only held many positions, but was also Zhang Wenbiao's right-hand man. Not only did he manage Hengzhou City in an orderly manner for Zhang Wenbiao, he also made suggestions to allow Zhang Wenbiao to gradually control several surrounding states.
In Zhang Wenbiao's heart, he is not only his main confidant and relative, but also his best helper in political affairs. After all, the same bloodline between relatives makes it easier for Zhang Wenbiao to believe in Zhang Yuan's reliability.
Zhang Wenbiao dared to lead his troops to Yongzhou City to support Zhou Dunqi in this turbulent time because Zhang Yuan was in control of the overall situation in Hengzhou City. Of course he didn't say it to the public, but he didn't want to be suspicious of everyone like Zhou Xingfeng. As a result, when it came time to hire people, no one was available.
Another important point, Zhang Wenbiao would naturally not tell anyone. If he becomes more aggressive in the future, his ideas will naturally not be limited to Hengzhou. If the development goes well, if Chu Di can be successfully controlled in the future, then the country of Chu Di will still belong to the Zhang family, and they will be able to conquer the world with a leaping horse, and the world will still need to be taken care of by the Zhang family and Zhang Yuan.
Therefore, Zhang Wenbiao usually protected Zhang Yuan, a relative of the literati, who knew how to use tricks. Even in Hengzhou City, Zhang Yuan never had less than fifty guards with him.
This may be because Guo Jing, as the main leader of the secret party in Chu and the highest military leader stationed in Chu in the Southern Han Dynasty, did not expect that his men's secret actions in various places in Chu would be a reminder to Zhang Wenbiao, a warlord.
Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses! Everyone's shortcomings must also have their strengths!
Zhang Yuan read a lot of books when he was young. He can be said to be half a scholar, but he never participated in the Kobe Bryant Competition. He also knows how to use swordsmanship, but he is far from a swordsman and ranger in the world. He is also competitive, but at best it is just for fitness.
Before Zhang Wenbiao appeared, Zhang Yuan had always regarded himself as a scholar in his hometown. Due to the times, he had some ambitions to travel around the world. Later, Zhang Wenbiao became famous occasionally, so naturally he became a scholar's hobby.
Because after Zhang Wenbiao gained power, it can be said that Zhang Yuan rose to prominence, his horizons were naturally broadened, and his inner thoughts were naturally different.
Although Hengzhou is only a state, it is only a small state in a precarious separatist power. However, the jurisdiction of this state is very large, and with the demise of Ma Chu, the territory of Chu was divided up by the Southern Han Dynasty. Hengzhou City has become an extremely sensitive place.
Since Zhang Wenbiao took over, Hengzhou City has also taken care of the Tang Dynasty and Lingnan border defense responsibilities. Whether it is people's livelihood or the military, they all have great independent rights. Zhang Wenbiao left almost everything except military affairs to Zhang Yuan.
What's more, for a large state like Hengzhou, Zhang Yuan was able to become a local official here only because he was inferior to his nephew Zhang Wenbiao in status. Naturally, he was surrounded by people who fawned and flattered him. Although he is usually not very public, as time goes by, the various hidden thoughts in his heart gradually come out.
Food, sex, sex!
So the ancients said!
Zhang Yuan had this hobby and was particularly interested in beautiful women. He once wrote many poems and songs that he considered good. Since Zhang Wenbiao did not have to let him go to the battlefield, he was more tolerant and indulgent of some of his behaviors. Zhang Yuan was almost a frequent visitor and benefactor of kabuki theaters in Hengzhou City.
Because there were usually a large number of guards following him, and the current public security in Hengzhou was considered peaceful, Zhang Wenbiao did not interfere with Zhang Yuan's behavior. In Zhang Wenbiao's opinion, after all, everything must be under his control, which is Zhang Wenbiao's main idea.
Although there were many famous prostitutes, songwriters and composers in this era, they were all trained by experts who served in the Jiaofang Department of the previous dynasty. They have received good education and training since childhood, and all of them are versatile celebrities. He usually shuttles between the various towns and forces, just like the entertainment stars of later generations, he is sought after and loved wherever he goes.
They can enter the royal family at first, and can be heard and respected by high-ranking officials and dignitaries at lower levels. Therefore, they can go almost everywhere without hindrance and are sought after and respected. Although Hengzhou was transferred to Zhang Wenbiao after Ma Chu at the end of the Five Dynasties, it is now a large state. But speaking of the entire Central Plains, it is not worth mentioning, it is just a separate state capital.
Although Zhang Yuan is a little conceited, he still understands it in his heart. The nephews he relied on were just governors of one party, and they were just generals under Zhou Xingfeng. And Zhou Xingfeng was not considered a powerful force in the world. In front of these famous prostitutes who were traveling around the world, he really did not resort to bullying.
However, due to the constant disputes between the times and the forces, there are deep scruples between the forces in the various vassal towns. And these artists who shuttle between the vassal towns, with their respective sensitive identities and superb skills, most of them are sought after, and they have established relationships with various places. There is a good relationship between the forces, so naturally many forces are wary of it.
But because every one of these women is a well-rounded person, there is no shortage of smart and talented people. Moreover, many of them came from good families, and naturally most of them were beautiful and pretty. Everywhere they went to places and separatist forces, they would be sought after and praised by others. More importantly, no one wanted to provoke them, for fear of accidentally Offended other forces.
Naturally, the identity of this group of people has become sensitive. Not only is their safety a problem, but being with them is also a big safety issue.
However, in the great environment of the Five Dynasties and the late Tang Dynasty, due to the constant battles and competitions in various places, everyone's living conditions were limited, and many women's living environment was extremely poor, and their physical development was not satisfactory, let alone their appearance. But compared to ordinary women, these noble men are much better.
There were many famous courtesans of the Qing Dynasty in Hengzhou City, because in the last years of Ma Chu, this was the territory where Ma Xi'e became king and where he was finally imprisoned. It can be said to be extremely prosperous and luxurious. But after all, we live in one place and one state, and with the constant turnover of officials, and many people who live in fear and have no fixed place, the number of beauties is really limited.
Although Zhang Yuan had some rights and desires, Hengzhou City was limited after all. Besides, for the sake of the world's great plan, Zhang Wenbiao did not deliberately pay attention to these luxuries. Although Hengzhou City is not small, after a long time, these famous people were no longer liked by Zhang Yuan.
Just half a year ago, Xiang Lian'er, a famous prostitute from Yanzhuang in Hengzhou City, went to the Tang Dynasty to visit Wang Wushan, a newly rising prostitute who was good at dancing, and wanted to exchange her extraordinary dancing skills. No one knew whether she had learned any skills, but she did something that shocked the whole city, that is, she brought back Liu Yin, a stunning prostitute.
This Liu Yin not only captivated the country and the city, but also had outstanding talents. When he came to Hengzhou City, he was left in Yanzhuang to promote him. Foreign monks can recite sutras, so this cliché is inevitable at all times, not to mention that Liu Yin is indeed a rare and unique beauty in Hengzhou City.
For a time, Liu Yin's beauty, talent and figure became the hottest topic in Hengzhou City.
As the most famous person in Hengzhou City, Zhang Yuan naturally wanted to take a look. It was a pity that Zhang Yuan had something to do and couldn't go there that day, so he let a group of people present to stir up trouble.
Among them is Xia Hanming, a descendant of a prominent family in Hengzhou. He is usually a very conceited figure. In addition, his family has occupied Hengzhou City in the early years of the previous dynasty. He can be said to be the local overlord of Hengzhou City. This man was conceited and romantic. When he saw Liu Yin for the first time, he was shocked to see Liu Yin as a man of heaven and vowed not to marry anyone other than his wife.
People who prostrate themselves under Liu Yin's pomegranate skirt can be said to be in groups, but many of them are self-aware. When everyone knew that Xia Hanming had a crush on Liu Yin, many people backed down and stopped.
But naturally there are not those who are unwilling to give up. In addition, Liu Yin has his own ideas and has seen countless scenes. Not only did he have an indifferent expression towards Xia Hanming, but he never revealed any hint of intimacy or submission.
This has undoubtedly rekindled the confidence of many people. It can be said that those who stay in Yanzhuang for the shade of willows every day can be described as a sea of people.
Although Zhang Yuan did not go to Yanzhuang that day, he would naturally send someone to check it out. After learning about the situation, he had a plan in mind. First, a second-generation ancestor named Ma Xun was sent to Liuyanzhuang to disrupt the situation.
It is said that this Ma Xun is also a branch of the Ma Yin branch, and has surpassed the descendants of the same clan outside the fifth server. When the Ma family gained power in the Chu region, Ma Xun's ancestors were able to enter Hengzhou City and serve as minor officials, and they have continued their inheritance here ever since. Later, the Ma family was defeated, but Ma Xun's family stayed in Hengzhou and became a new family in Hengzhou City.
After Zhang Wenbiao entered Hengzhou City, many local families came to surrender. After all, the turbulent Chu land was not peaceful. As Zhou Xingfeng's most capable general, Zhou Xingfeng was at the height of his power. Naturally, many people saw hope in Zhang Wenbiao.
The Ma family was naturally the first to bear the brunt, and Ma Xian immediately pulled Zhang Yuan's line, and the family greatly appreciated him. Now it can be said that Ma Xun regards himself as Zhang Yuan's right-hand man. Seeing that Zhang Yuan had something to do, he naturally volunteered to go.
In addition, Ma Xun was also a bit clever. After understanding what Zhang Yuan meant, he invited his friends to come to Liuyan Village with him that day.
As the saying goes, there is calculation in the mind but no intention. Naturally, Xia Hanming didn't know that he was being targeted, and that he was being used as a negative example.
We all live in Hengzhou City, and we all know each other somewhat, but because of the age gap, we don't hang out together. However, Ma Xun is a famous and generous person on the surface. Under the guidance of his few words, everyone actually compared their relationship with Liu Yin.
Xia Hanming was naturally not one to show weakness. After drinking for three times, he was provoked by a group of people and went wild in Liuyan Village. Just imagine leaving Yanzhuang to establish a foothold in Hengzhou City. Naturally, there is no shortage of connections and connections. Even if you have some connections with Zhang Yuan, you will naturally not be afraid of trouble.
Who knew that Ma Xun was on the side to fan the flames, and with the others adding fuel to the flames, Xia Hanming clamored to see Liu Yin. Liu Yin had a chance to meet every day, but it only lasted for a quarter of an hour. Xia Hanming happened to be making a scene that day, so Liu Yin didn't come out as usual.
Xia Hanming's wine strengthened his courage and he insisted on rushing in to see Liu Yin. For a while, there was a conflict with the people staying in Yanzhuang. Ma Xun took the opportunity to tease and hurt others. The situation became more and more intense, and finally Xia Hanming rushed into the village.
The hero appeared, Zhang Yuan appeared in Liuyin Liuyin's embroidery building in time, and perfectly performed the drama of a hero saving a beauty. The miserable Xia Hanming didn't know that he had become a pawn and was stepped on by Zhang Yuan to Liu Yin's boudoir.
Zhang Yuan successfully suppressed the arrogance of the Xia family in Hengzhou City and established his own image in Hengzhou City. Of course, the most important thing was to get Liu Yin's gratitude and recognition.
As smart as Zhang Yuan, he thinks he has both power and sex, but what he doesn't know is that when he plots against others, he is their pawn from the beginning.
Since then, Zhang Yuan has become a frequent visitor to Liuyan Village. Although Liu Yin has not yet found anyone, even ordinary people can see that Zhang Yuan is obedient to Liu Yin. His pursuit naturally caused the rest to regress. Even Zhang Wenbiao, who was initially interested, never mentioned it and allowed Zhang Yuan to do whatever he wanted.
Zhang Wenbiao was a little wary of this famous prostitute at first, so he naturally ordered people to test her carefully and found that she was trained by Jinling Jiaofang. Because she loved dancing and poetry, she was quite famous and elegant in Jinling.
This Liu Yin studied various dance skills everywhere and gained an excellent reputation. Because she and Xiang Lian'er hit it off immediately, they became sisters and were even invited to Hengzhou City. Zhang Wenbiao was worried that she was a spy of the Tang Dynasty. After having people monitor her for a long time, he gradually became less wary of her.
Zhang Yuan was obedient to Liu Yin, but he was too inconvenient in front of Zhang Wen. Because he knew that Liu Yin was different from ordinary women, he did not dare to mention it to her lightly, but his admiration for her was already known to everyone on the road.
Liu Yin behaves well and has a graceful demeanor that cannot be taught by an ordinary family. What's more, she has a natural beauty and looks like she comes from a famous family.
Not to mention the women around Zhang Wenbiao, I am afraid that there are not many women around Zhou Xingfeng, or even in Chu, who can compare with him. Zhang Yuan revealed in Zhang Wenbiao's ear that he would accept Liu Yin, but Zhang Wenbiao surprisingly did not interfere.
In this world, people and things that often look harmless turn out to be fatal in the end!
Zhang Yuan's death was discovered immediately. The guards and retinue who followed him could not save it no matter how careful they were.
Zhang Wenbiao considers himself to be very thoughtful. Starting last year, he saw that many prefectures and counties in Chu region were destroyed, and the officials stationed there were attacked, so he knew that there was an organization causing trouble. The guards are usually required to follow a few of their closest confidants and constantly monitor security information at all times.
Although this approach disapproved of many people, even Zhang Yuan felt a little irritated, but for the sake of his own life, he had to accept it. But Zhang Yuan still forgot that his sensitive identity was no longer an ordinary person.
Even if the guards were left outside Liu Yin's courtyard, these people would still send people in to inquire about Zhang Yuan's safety within half an hour. From the time Zhang Yuan entered the hospital to the time he was assassinated by Liu Yin, in less than a quarter of an hour, personal guards entered the hospital.
But it was discovered that Zhang Yuan was dead, and completely dead!
The entire area around Liuyan Village was boiling with excitement, and the guards who accompanied him quickly controlled and surrounded the entire Liuyan Village. A guard then discovered something was wrong with Liuyin's courtyard, because behind Zhuangzi was the Xiangjiang River, there was a lotus pond in the middle of the courtyard, and behind the high walls of Liuyin's courtyard was the river.
Although Zhang Yuan entered Liuyan Village, there were several guards sitting in small boats on the river to prevent anyone from climbing over the high wall into the courtyard. But everyone has not yet reached the level where someone comes to assassinate Zhang Yuan. Even if you are on guard, it is nothing more than guard.
At this time, hundreds of sails were racing on the river, and many large and small ships were passing by the water of Hengzhou City on the Xiangjiang River.
Someone saw a dug tunnel from the Liuyin House, which happened to lead to the lotus pond in the backyard. The lotus pond actually had a drain entering the outside. They waded down and found that the ditch was directly connected to the Xiangjiang River. Seeing the boats passing by on the river, no one can be found anywhere.
I looked up to the sky and smiled,
I rule the country and the world!
Who among us decides the ups and downs?
Someone will judge later!
The long river flows continuously, slowly and the feelings are never far away. The sun shines like golden dots on the satin, reflecting the ripples on the river surface, making people look like a dream.
The boat on the river is leisurely, and the people on the boat are even more indifferent.
Standing with his hands behind his back, he seems to be looking ahead in the distance. Where the water ends, he can see the vast mountains.
When the water flows into the mountains, where will the people return?
This man was the man who had just been in the Liuyin House in Liuyan Village. He stood on the bow of the ship with dignity, looking at the Hengzhou City that was gradually going away. Next to her were Liu Yin, who had changed into a Yue White House outfit, and Xiang Lian'er, who still looked panicked.
"Bang! Bang!"
A series of explosions broke the peace of Hengzhou City.
People on the river stopped and looked back, looking at Hengzhou City where smoke suddenly billowed.
"It's begun!" The man said lightly with a smile on his face: "You should be credited with the first contribution in the battle of Hengzhou City! However, because of your kindness, the brothers who died in Liuyanzhuang cannot be undone. This sin will be punished by a certain family. report!"
Liu Yin's face turned pale. He glanced at Xiang Lian'er who was a little worried. He gently held her trembling hands and said softly: "My sister is uneasy because she has been implicated. She has no choice but to risk her own life and take her with her!" She felt a little uneasy. Look at this young man.
It turned out that she and this young man had hidden themselves out, and although they were in danger, they were not in danger. However, Xiang Lian'er, who was worried that she would be implicated, took the risk to get her, but two spies were trapped in Liuyanzhuang. Liu Yin felt so guilty that she didn't even dare to look at this young man again.
After saving one person, two people died. Liu Yin felt confused. Although he had taken advantage of Xiang Lian'er's thoughts when he came to Liuyan Village, but now he had lost two of his companions because he was afraid of hurting her, which made Liu Yin feel a little sad.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Liu Yin's eyes were a little red, but looking at Xiang Lian'er who had been in panic, Liu Yin suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and held Xiang Lian'er's hand tightly. Even the faint shouts coming from Hengzhou City could not make her reply.
Zhang Yuan's helpless and confused eyes still vaguely flashed in her heart, but her heart was like the water of the Xiang River, unable to stay in one wave after another.
