"You..." A mouthful of thick phlegm suddenly came up and blocked his throat. He couldn't get up and down. Ling Di couldn't breathe. His face was very white and his eyes couldn't help turning up.

"Father! Father Zhang tingxiao's face was as pale as ashes. He yelled and thumped his back for Lingdi. Half a month ago, Ling Di ordered Tianji old man to go to the border to inspect on behalf of Tian. If Ling Di died at this time and Tianji old man encouraged the soldiers to support Laosi, he would be in trouble.

When Chang Lu was going to ask for a doctor, the phlegm in Ling Di's throat finally went down. His breath recovered smoothly, but his face was still ugly.

Zhang tingxiao tearfully said: "it's all my children's ministers who are bad. They make my father angry. My children's ministers should die! Damn it

Emperor Ling stroked his shoulder and said weakly, "I don't have many days to live. Before that, I must choose the most suitable prince. Between you and the fourth elder, I prefer you, but Well

"I swear, there will never be a second time." Zhang tingxiao choked.

"Remember what you said, otherwise..." Ling Di's eyes were cold. "Even if the queen blames you, I won't forgive you!"

"I know that I will not let my father down." Zhang tingxiao repeatedly agreed.

Ling Di closed his eyes and listened to the subtle wind outside the hall. His voice murmured like a dream. "In three months, the child will be born. It will soon be clear whether he can control the Northern Zhou Dynasty..."

This time, ah Chou died and Zhang Qi imprisoned Zongping mansion. In the following days, everything in Xiangyue city was calm, but they knew that it was just a short time before the storm. Before the death of Ling emperor, there would be a fight between the princes, that is, to defeat the king!

At the end of March, Ling emperor ordered Zhang Qiling to behead the three Shenji camp prisoners. Zhang Qiling secretly transferred Feng, replaced them with death row prisoners, and then secretly disguised himself as servants and arranged to go to qiyunxuan.

These three Shenji camp people are 13, 16 and 19. Their safe return makes mu Qianxue more grateful to Zhang Qiling.

In April, the fifth prince, Zhang Qishu, got married. His favorite princess was not a noble girl, but the daughter of a five grade official.

On his wedding day, Zhang tingxiao came to congratulate him. His gift was a sika deer head with two complete horns. The place where it was cut off was even bleeding.

Zhang Qishu is a scholar. He used to go hunting with Ling emperor, but he always went back empty handed. At this moment, he suddenly saw a bloody deer's head and turned pale with fright. He said with a strong smile, "brother, this gift is really special."

Zhang tingxiao raised his eyebrows and said, "why, the fifth doesn't like it? I went hunting in the mountains myself. "

"Yes, yes." Zhang Qishu asked the housekeeper to take it as he said, and then said, "brother, it's hard work. Please take a seat."

Zhang tingxiao nodded slightly. As he passed him, he stopped and said with a smile, "I've been a brother for more than 20 years, but I don't know you're so brave."

This sentence made the only trace of blood on Zhang Qishu's face disappear. With an irresistible tremble, he said: "brother is joking."

Zhang tingxiao smile, cold way: "I never like to laugh." After a pause, he laughed again, even milder than just now. "The auspicious time is coming. Go and prepare quickly. As for our account, it's not urgent. There are plenty of opportunities in the future. Let's count it slowly."

He patted Zhang Qishu's stiff shoulder and followed his subordinates into the Xi hall. His seat was on Zhang Qiling's head. The latter had already arrived first. Seeing him coming in, he called big brother.

After taking his seat, Zhang tingxiao took a sip of the tea and said with a smile, "hasn't the national master come back yet?"

"Shifu left a few days ago, and should arrive at Xiangyue city these days."

"That's good." Zhang tingxiao smiles and looks at the crowd outside and says, "there's one thing I've been curious about. Can my fourth brother answer it for me?"

Zhang Qiling said calmly: "as long as I know, I will try my best to solve my brother's doubts."

Zhang tingxiao shakes the tea cup, "old five has some courage, you and I know, how do you talk him?"

A month ago, he was still worried about the defeat. Later, he recalled that on that day, Zhang Qishu went to Zhang Qiye to complain, which was clearly a deliberate arrangement.

Zhang Qiling brushed his robe and said indifferently, "everyone has his own weakness. As long as we find the right weakness, we can use it for ourselves."

Zhang tingxiao twisted his eyebrows and said, "what's the weakness of Lao Wu, the only ancient book?"

Zhang Qiling smiles and looks at Zhang Qishu, who is in the sedan chair at the door. He says: "a year ago, the fifth elder met a woman with a lot of money. When he saw her, he was loyal to her. Although this woman was not a member of a famous family, her father was an official, and he was barely worthy of the fifth younger brother. Fortunately, her father was wronged and almost dismissed Someone stepped in and tried the case again, persuading the plaintiff to withdraw the petition, which saved his official position. "

Zhang tingxiao said with a sneer: "the person who interfered in this is you, old four. You are all pervasive."

"It's a pity that even if I try my best, I can't help it. Elder brother, father It's good for big brother. "Hearing this, Zhang tingxiao showed a proud look, "the emperor and his wife are very affectionate. I'm their only son. How can those wild species of unknown origin be compared." In terms of meanness, he is better than Zhang Qiye, but he has been deliberately astringent on weekdays.

"You're not bad. You can buy off the filmmakers." Speaking of this, Zhang tingxiao showed a look of hate and fear. The shadow army was the strongest weapon in the hands of the emperors of all dynasties. They only Ling the emperor, just like the Shenji camp of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.

Zhang Qiye was inspired by him to go to the post station. He knew exactly what he had done and said. He never colluded with the shadow maker. But the only explanation for the shadow maker's words was that there was a traitor among the shadow maker.

Zhang Qiling didn't even move her eyelids. She said with a smile, "if you don't have any evidence, you'd better not talk about it. If you get into trouble, it's not good. Not every time Your father will protect you. "

Zhang tingxiao's cheek twitched slightly. In a moment, he recovered as usual. "Fourth brother, don't worry. I won't let anything happen before I watch you die."

Zhang Qiling said nothing with a smile. After the ceremony, he went back to the fourth Prince's residence. To his surprise, old man Tianji had already come back. He was waiting in his residence. He was surprised and delighted. "When did master come back?"

"Just arrived." Zhang Qiling was shocked by Tianji's indifferent expression. He said tentatively, "master, is something wrong with the border?"

"The Northern Zhou Dynasty repeatedly increased troops at the border, I'm afraid it's really a big fight, but I've been deployed in Dongling for many years, and I'm strong in troops and abundant in food and grass, so I won't be afraid of him."
