The man in the bamboo hat slowly raised his head, then slowly and methodically took back the sword in his hand, then slowly took off the bamboo hat on his head, exposing his face to the sun, but he was a young man with a handsome face. But under this seemingly gentle face, his physique and figure are a bit too strong and developed, and the two thick beards on his lips are also very eye-catching.
Exactly consistent with what Wei Cen said, this enigmatic man in a bamboo hat was disguised as General Zhongwu and Yuhou Zhang Wenbiao.
"With such domineering and powerful skills, one can tell at a glance that he is Zhang Yuhou, the Langzhou tiger!" Wei Cen said with a steady smile.
"Mr. Wei, is this Zhang Wenbiao who surrendered during the previous Western expedition to Langzhou?" Wei San asked as he lay on the ground and stretched his neck.
As soon as he said these words, the corner of Zhang Wenbiao's mouth twitched slightly, and there was obviously a fierce light in his eyes, which disappeared after a moment. Wei Cen seemed to have keenly captured this subtle look, and said angrily in sheep's clothing: "Who do you think you are? How dare you be so rude to Marquis Zhang Yu? Wei San, Marquis Zhang Yu is a friend rather than an enemy, and he is also a general of the Forbidden Army. Why don't you get up quickly to greet him and thank Marquis Yu for not killing him?"
Wei San swallowed his saliva, looked at the mess around him, and shouted with dissatisfaction: "Mr. Minister, he has killed so many of our brothers..."
Zhang Wenbiao sheathed his sword and said nonchalantly: "Keep your eyes open and take a look. Those idiot brothers of yours just passed out, and I didn't kill you. It's you who came at random with your swords." , but fortunately you have no skills. If I were serious about fighting, you might not even have a chance to breathe at this moment!"
Wei San was overjoyed, and hurriedly got up and bowed respectfully to Zhang Wenbiao to apologize. Then he ran to check on the people lying on the ground, and found that what Zhang Wenbiao said was indeed true. These people were only injured and unconscious, and the injuries were It was not a serious injury, so he started to pinch people one by one and hit them in the mouth to wake them up.
As the breeze blew and he heard the rustling in the forest, Wei Cen couldn't help but feel excited. After experiencing the assassination, he was naturally very worried.
But at this moment, seeing that Zhang Wenbiao did not seem to have any ill intentions, he was suddenly surprised, and then inexplicably secretly happy. In the past few months since Wei Cen took office as deputy privy envoy, a key issue that has worried him day and night is that although the name in his hand is He holds part of the power to mobilize troops, but actually does not have any trusted generals. Is it possible that this document is today...
"Zhang Yuhou, why did you come all the way?" Wei Cen finally couldn't help it and plucked up the courage to ask.
"What do you think? Is this Yu Hou here to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" In front of Wei Cen, the deputy privy envoy, Zhang Wenbiao, who should have called himself a subordinate, did not follow the etiquette at all, nor did he answer directly, but coldly said asked rhetorically.
Wei Cen paused. Even if he was slightly angry, how could he dare to express it? He could only hold up his hands and smile and said: "Oh, I am actually very happy to meet Zhang Yuhou... It is a long way to go, and there is Zhang Yuhou." With such a powerful general like Yu Hou by my side, even if I am not good at martial arts, I will be much more courageous!"
It goes without saying that Wei Cen seemed eager to show his intention to win over, and Zhang Wenbiao seemed to be very impressed. He smiled slightly, pointed at the dozen or so guards behind Wei Cen who were bruised and swollen, and said: "The Prime Minister is looking up to Zhang! But! These guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion are really useless. I'm afraid they won't be of much use at the critical moment. If something happens, these people won't be of use at all..."
As soon as these words came out, not only Wei San and others' faces twitched, but also Wei Cen himself frowned. Wei Cen, who always assessed the situation, took a few deep breaths, then spread his hands and said with a smile: "Well, with Zhang Yuhou, Yes, they are all idiots, but they are actually pretty good at it!"
Before he finished speaking, Wei Cen narrowed his eyes and continued: "Besides, I don't have a choice. These people at least make me feel at ease. There are many good people in our imperial army, but I don't dare to use the truth against those who have ulterior motives. .”
Zhang Wenbiao seemed to hear the meaning of needles hidden in cotton, and then nodded slightly without any expression, but did not respond.
"Did Yu Hou follow the truth all the way? If there was something important, why didn't he show up directly? It wouldn't cause such a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding? It was your personal guards who ambush me first! Besides, I have shown up long ago, but you just didn't notice it. At noon in the inn, I had tea with you at the next table, but it's a pity that you turned a blind eye. "
Wei Cen frowned and tried to remember for a long time, and then said in a daze: "Is it the Noon Inn? I don't have much impression of the actual situation. There are too many people coming and going on the official road."
Zhang Wenbiao smiled indifferently and said: "If you don't have an impression, you don't have an impression. It doesn't matter after all. Minister Wei, right now I just want to tell you that the guards you raised are all trash. Since you left Jinling, every night They may die at any time, are you aware of it? Are your bodyguards aware of it?"
Wei Cen frowned and said solemnly: "How do you say this?"
Zhang Wenbiao sneered: "Especially in the past two days, there have been people waiting around you in the dark. Could it be that you didn't notice it at all?"
Wei Cen swallowed his saliva, shook his head blankly and said: "Please tell me, Hou Yu, I really don't feel anything. However, my guards are very conscientious and have been on duty all the time. If there is really a bad person following me, they should not be aware of it at all." ..."
Zhang Wenbiao sighed softly: "Depending on the skills of your personal guards, it is normal that you were not aware of it. Minister Wei, did you know that after you finished Chen Jue's banquet, he secretly mobilized a section of the Xiongwu Army to follow you?" Most of them are warriors who have experienced hundreds of battles. The leading generals were all personally promoted by Chen Jue...
I had fought against them before during martial arts competitions in the army, and they were all ruthless and highly skilled people. If we really fight, depending on how strong the dozen idiots around you are, they will probably become nameless flesh and blood. Therefore, I followed him all the way and never dared to reveal my identity easily. "
Wei Cen said in shock: "You mean, Minister Chen and Chen Jue sent elite soldiers of the Xiongwu Army to hunt down the truth?"
Zhang Wenbiao nodded slightly and said: "Exactly. Otherwise, with my martial arts skills, why would I be bored and follow you in disguise but not dare to show my face easily? When you left Jinling City for the banquet, didn't you notice that the troops of the Xiongwu Army were in full swing? Are we going to assemble from the east gate to the south gate?
Just forget it if the ambassador didn't pay attention. As far as I know, these people have secretly killed many court officials. Coming here with you this time will definitely be detrimental to you. "
Wei Cen seemed to be trembling, but he really couldn't believe that Chen Jue really dared to kill his important minister so easily, not to mention using the mighty troops from the Sixth Army. Even if Chen Jue was the Privy Councilor of the dynasty, such an act was unreasonable. It was a bit daring. Although Wei Cen usually behaved domineeringly, in his eyes, what Chen Jue did this time was still a bottom line that he did not dare to cross.
After thinking hard for a while, Wei Cen suddenly raised his head, then suppressed the turmoil in his heart and asked: "That Zhang Yuhou, you...are you here to secretly protect me? It's a bit embarrassing to teach the truth like this. It’s unexpected, but I don’t remember the truth. What friendship did I have with you?”
Zhang Wenbiao's expression suddenly changed, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he showed a strange smile: "Mr. Wei, why don't you take a guess?"
