A few days passed by and Zhang Zongbai was leaving the capital.
"Master, why don't you take me back with you?" Tong Weizi was puzzled. The capital was good, but there was no quiet place. His meditation practice had been disturbed for the past few days, which made him a little bored.
"You just stay in the capital. You are not allowed to go anywhere without His Majesty's order! If you make His Majesty angry, don't you think I can beat you?" Zhang Zongbai glared at the old man. Tong Weizi was not afraid in his heart. His master has been there since he was little. I didn’t hit them, but I kept my mouth shut.
"Guan Chenzi, you should be calmer and take good care of him." Zhang Zongbai changed his ferocious expression and said with a smile to Guan Chenzi.
Tong Weizi and Guan Chenzi were both abandoned babies. They were abandoned outside Zhenyang Mountain when they were just born and were picked up by Zhang Zongbai. When Zhang Zongbai picked it up, he didn't know whether they were brothers or sisters, or even whether they were from the same mother. After pinching my fingers for several days, I still couldn't figure it out, so I had no choice but to take them back to the mountain gate. Seeing that the two of them had excellent bones and spirituality, they accepted them as disciples. Since they didn't know their age, they were not called brothers. Just call the number.
"Master, Guan Chenzi and I will see you off." Tong Weizi said aloud. Although the master was fierce to him on the surface, he knew that the palms and backs of his hands were full of flesh.
"Ah, no need. Of course someone will come to see me off. Remember, obey your Majesty's orders and don't cause trouble!" Zhang Zongbai felt a little uneasy and warned the two of them repeatedly, and they agreed repeatedly.
As soon as Zhang Zongbai walked out of the post, five hundred fierce guards outside had been waiting for a long time. The leader was not Zhao Yizhi, but Zhou Ziru.
"Political matters are so busy that I don't have time to pay a visit to the real person when he comes to Beijing. Zhou Ziru, the boy of the Zhou family, specially came to see the real person today." Zhou Ziru did not give the name of his literary minister. This kind of name was like a cloud to Zhang Zongbai, and he reported the counterattack. Afraid that he would be bored.
"I'm so rude. I didn't do any calculations when I got up in the morning. I made Prime Minister Zhou wait here for a long time!" Zhang Zongbai was indeed a little surprised. He didn't expect that it would be Zhou Ziru who came to see him off.
Zhou Ziru stopped being polite and stepped out of the way, extending his hand and saying, "Please, sir!"
"please!"
After Zhang Zongbai got into the car, Zhou Ziru also got in and said with a smile: "I have a chance to visit you today. I hope to ask for advice from the real person. I hope that the real person will not hesitate to give me some advice."
"Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." Zhang Zongbai replied with a smile.
"Zhang Zhenren, I am an ordinary person. I would like to ask Zhenzhen to help me calculate a divination to see if I can make achievements?" Zhou Ziru was not as tactful as Zhao Yizhi, and went straight to the point.
Zhang Zongbai knew this well and said: "Prime Minister Zhou is already a very popular minister, how can he still hope to achieve great achievements?"
Zhou Ziru stared at Zhang Zongbai and said with a smile: "Zhenzhen Zhang is about making meritorious deeds, regardless of official fortune."
Zhao Yizhi had given full authority over the affairs of Chu and Xiang to Zhou Ziru. Zhou Ziru asked if he could make any achievements because he wanted to know how the battle of Chu and Xiang was won. Now that the question comes to Zhang Zongbai's head, I still want to test Zhang Zongbai's meaning again.
Zhang Zongbai sighed and said: "We will take care of our great cause, but we will only give birth to a sea of blood."
Hearing this, Zhou Ziru laughed loudly and said: "Hahaha, real person, this has always been the case in the past and present. The present generation suffers, but all generations will enjoy the blessings. Real people must not be obsessed with the appearance!"
Zhang Zongbai nodded in agreement, and the two were silent for a long time.
After leaving the palace gate, Zhou Ziru jumped out of the car: "It's a long journey, so the driver gave the car to the real person to save his legs. Have a good journey, real person."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for your thoughtful consideration." Zhang Zongbai thanked him, and the coachman drove Zhang Zongbai up the official road and gradually drove away.
Behind Zhou Ziru, a general stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Prime Minister Zhou, the arrangements have been made."
"Where?"
"Wancheng."
Zhou Ziru nodded and seemed to be saying to Zhang Zongbai who was walking away: "Master Zhang, please start the restoration of the Zhou family..."
While driving away, Zhang Zongbai smiled bitterly and said: "The Zhou family has always been so scheming. It's difficult, it's difficult for everyone..."
…
A few days later.
Wancheng, there is no moon tonight.
He Yue'er was walking on the mountain road home. It was not like there was no place to live in Wancheng. Xiang Lian'er's home was always being supervised and cleaned by a king member. But He Yue'er still decided to live at home. Every time he saw the dilapidated thatched house, He Yue'er felt as if his parents had never left.
Behind them, a hundred unaided female guards followed quietly. They set up a small military camp next to He Yue'er's home, leaving Xiang Lian'er on duty every night, following them every step of the way.
"I've worked hard for you all these days. It's good for me to be here. In fact, you can go back." He Yue'er said softly without looking back.
The hundred female guards did not say anything. Sun Hong, the chief of the hundred guards, is a straight woman with a bold personality. She is not inferior to many men in the army. At this time, she also whispered back: "Miss Yue'er, don't look back at this time." It’s too late.”
"Go back? Haha... I'm already married, how can I go back? What will I do when I go back..." He Yue'er looked depressed, with a hint of crying in her words.
"Miss Jian must have her reasons, Miss Yue'er, don't worry." Sun Hong didn't know what to say, so she could only offer some words of comfort.
The two of them didn't chat for a while before they saw He Yue'er's home, which was brightly lit.
He Yue'er looked at the lights, with a hint of hope in her eyes, but then dimmed again. She walked to the front of the house, pushed the door open and went in. Sun Hong ordered the female guards to return to the camp to rest, leaving only ten female guards to guard outside the house, and she followed in.
"Jian Liuyun, how long do I have to wait?" He Yue'er was furious when she saw a pretty woman sitting in the room.
The pretty woman's name is Jian Liuyun. She is dressed in black and her figure is clearly visible. She has a teapot and four teacups, pouring and drinking by herself. Her long hair is flowing down, and her temperament is also outstanding. There was a hairpin pinned behind her left ear, and she was playing with a black mask in her hand.
"I also want to know how long you have to wait, so that I can go back and recover as soon as possible." Jian Liuyun took a sip of tea with an expression of enjoyment.
"You asked me to get married to him in the first place, and now you don't know anything when asked! I've had enough!" He Yue'er said angrily.
Jian Liuyun poured a cup of tea for He Yue'er and Sun Hong each, and said with a narrow smile: "How does it feel to be married twice? I'm very envious!"
He Yue'er was so angry that she stretched out her hand to hit him, but Jian Liuyun turned around slightly and dodged it easily: "Don't worry, I have good news and bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear first?"
He Yue'er stared at Jian Liuyun blankly and sat down on the bench: "Good news."
"Yi Xiaodao has defeated Donglu."
He Yue'er's eyes flickered: "Xiao Dao...what about the bad news?"
"He ran from the island city to the nest city alone, without even a horse. He just relied on his legs to run from the island city to the nest city. With his speed, he should be able to arrive tomorrow." Jian Liuyun said, looking at He Yue'er jokingly.
He Yue'er's eyes widened: "Arrival tomorrow? Where? Why did you tell me now!"
"Of course it's here. Can he rely on running to other places? But then again, I heard that he took Zhongyi Gong and ran from Su City to Poyang Lake... Is this person a fool? ?" Jian Liuyun took another sip of tea and continued: "If I had told you earlier, could it still be bad news?"
"Tomorrow, tomorrow...Does he know that I'm married? I'm just pretending to be married!" He Yue'er's heart was beating wildly.
"If he didn't know you were married, how could he come to Wancheng? He should just go back to the capital directly."
Sun Hong looked at the anxious He Yue'er from the side and couldn't bear it. She comforted him and said, "Miss Yue'er, wait until he comes and explain to him clearly that Mr. Yi is not an unreasonable person."
"It's all your fault! If you hadn't asked me to fake a marriage with him, things wouldn't be like this!" He Yue'er shouted at Jian Liuyun with red eyes.
"You only agreed to get married when your parents were in his hands. It has nothing to do with me. You can't offend me now. Otherwise, who will prove to Master Yi that you are fake?" Jian Liuyun didn't care about Xun Ran Yu. He Yue'er, who was crying, continued teasing.
He Yue'er gritted her teeth and glared at Jian Liuyun, but there was nothing she could do against her. After all, on her first day here, she knocked down all of the more than a hundred female guards without harming any of them. With such martial arts, no amount of He Yue'er could defeat him.
"One more thing, my master asked me to tell you. Don't tell Mr. Yi about Hu Lishan's death. At least you can't do it," Jian Liuyun reminded.
He Yue'er didn't answer. Jian Liuyun knew her stubborn temper and patiently explained: "If Master Yi knew that after he left the capital, Hu Lishan died and you got married, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to accept it for a while."
"Excuse!" He Yue'er said angrily.
"I haven't finished speaking yet!" Jian Liuyun rolled his eyes at He Yue'er: "No one knows what he will do by then. If he gets mad and breaks into the palace...how many heads will he have? It’s not even enough to chop. My master is doing it for your own good.”
He Yue'er stared at Jian Liuyun closely: "But he will still know when he returns to the capital. If you don't let me tell him, are you afraid that he will know something from me? I remember that Brother Hu sent a group of rats to remind him I don’t want to go out, why does Brother Hu know that I’m in danger?”
He Yue'er's own guess was already very close to the truth.
Jian Liuyun didn't answer. He Yue'er was smarter than her, if he hadn't teased her every day, making her furious and losing her mind. With my own brains, I may not be able to gain the upper hand over her.
"In short, my master must be thinking of everything. If you want to do well, you'd better cooperate with us. And you, you are just protecting Miss Yue'er without any help. No matter who asks, you will not know anything else. "Jian Liuyun perfunctoryly dealt with He Yue'er, and then warned Sun Hong.
Sun Hong kept silent. She also knew that Jian Liuyun was acting under orders. As for whose order he was following, she did not dare to guess. All I know is that Jian Liuyun has no bad intentions and will not be detrimental to them.
"Bang bang bang"
There were several noises outside the door.
Sun Hong became alert and asked, "What happened outside?"
No one answered the door.
Sun Hong drew the knife in her hand, protected He Yue'er behind her, and looked at Jian Liuyun. Jian Liuyun hastily tied up his hair with one hand, picked up the hairpin from his ear, pinned his long hair behind his head, and the mask had already been covered on his face. She glanced at the window behind her, she had to run away if necessary.
The wooden door opened with a creaking sound, and Yi Xiaodao stood outside the door with an indifferent expression...
