Chapter 122

Even if Zhao Qijue is a prince, she doesn't dare to ignore the existence of characters such as night into emptiness and Gu Xuanji! He did not show much dissatisfaction with their arbitrary intervention. He believed that with Gu Xuanji's "constraints", Zhang Zhou would also follow suit!

What made him look heavy at the moment was a badly damaged one handed crossbow in his hand.

This was given to him by the teacher Zhuang Shanke. He said that Zhang Zhou's men used this efficient crossbow that night, which caused great suppression and killing to their own side! Unfortunately, the important parts have been damaged, so we can't know the whole picture. When we found the value of this object, a fire in Zhang Zhou has completely burned the scene. Only such a half damaged and irreparable crossbow was found!

Zhao Qijue rearranged her memory about Zhang Zhou, and her mood became more and more depressed!

From the day he knew the name of Zhang Zhou to today, it was less than two years. How did this guy manage Hezhou? What scale has Kyushu's business developed?

In Suzhou disaster relief, Zhang Zhou took less than 20 days to transport hundreds of thousands of victims. Others don't know how. But as a soldier, he was too surprised by the deployment ability of Kyushu commerce. It took the imperial court more than 20 days to transport 30000 forbidden troops. What's the difference? And it's an emergency! Its ability is amazing!

If land transportation is added, it is no exaggeration to say that this transportation capacity alone is enough to support the Longzhou border army! Zhang Shuhe also recommended Zhang Zhou in secret letters many times, just because of some psychological trouble, which made his contact with Zhang Zhou "delay" again and again!

Zhang Zhou is the man of Ping Wang again, which makes him feel a little uneasy! So when the teacher proposed to get rid of Zhang Zhou, he chose to avoid, but the appearance of the two masters stirred the game!

When Zhang Zhou didn't have an expert escort around him, he took about 20 people and let more than half of the 300 elite experts under the villa's mountain guest die. What kind of combat power is this? If this weapon is really as powerful as the teacher said, how much strength does the boat hide?

Zhang Zhou's "feat" of killing large families, even if it is his own, he may not dare to make such a decision! But Zhang Zhou did. He was not only safe, but also given a golden knife by his father and raised the grade.

Zhang Zhou belongs to the character of vengeance! If he is killed this time, he will bear some lax responsibilities under the emperor; If you don't die, it's hard to end! This contradiction is not the same thing as Gu Xuanji's pressing down!

"He will return to the capital of Wuzhou!"

Zhao Qijue's inexplicable judgment stunned Zhuang Shanke.

"Will he come back? Can't you die?"

Zhao Qijue now feels that her teacher is more and more boring! But his expression was silent and said, "it's just a feeling! I don't want to see him. At least I don't want to see him now. Let's save it later!"

He felt that this was not a good time to meet Zhang Zhou. The passive negotiation would make him very uncomfortable!

After that, he ordered people to call min Wengong, his beloved general! Zhuang Shanke took the opportunity to ask, "Your Highness, if he really comes, how can he deal with it?"

Zhao Qijue said in her heart: don't you always like to do things by yourself and deal with the aftermath by yourself? Why ask me now? But suggestions were given.

"If you can't kill him, try not to provoke him. Zhang Zhou is hard to deal with! If you have senior Gu, he should know the importance."

When I recalled the saying of fortune in the Tang Dynasty, I couldn't help thinking: such a situation can survive. Are you Zhang Zhou really a blessed person?

Looking at the broken objects in his hand, he said to the mountain guest, "we can't underestimate Zhang Zhou any more!"

Zhuang Shanke seemed unwilling, but he couldn't think of a reason to refute, so he nodded!

Zhang Zhou had planned to personally return the teacher and the injured to dachuyun temple, but he met monk Fang Jing on the way. Now the officers and soldiers have ordered that after the suppression of bandits, they begin to withdraw their defense, and a large number of officials and victims blocked in Huizhou have also been released into Wuzhou! With the consensus of the two experts, Zhang Zhou believes that the situation should be safe, and Fang Jing can safely take care of the teacher! Think of those dead companions whose ashes have not been disposed of, think of King Jing

The reluctance in his heart became stronger and stronger, so he gave up the idea of returning to dachuyun temple, took 20 guards and four martial monks who came with Fang Jing, and returned to Wuzhou capital again. He also asked someone to bring a letter to Suzhou. Chen Chaoying, who is currently in charge of Qinjiang business road, asked him to take someone to Wuzhou capital to meet him!

His purpose is not to collect any evidence. First, to settle the dead companions and let them settle down. Second, he must check the wuxia mountain, not only because of his will, but also because of his stubbornness and anger! The face of the two masters must be given, which doesn't mean he can really put down his gratitude and resentment! Third, he will meet King Jing for a while!

Once back, it's nearly ten days.

Zhang Zhou happened to meet the school captain who didn't enter the water and rice at the gate of the city!

The captain was also stunned and respectfully saluted Zhang Zhou on the horse.

"I'm humbled to see the Marquis of Kyushu!"

Zhang Zhou said coldly, "look up! Look at Ben Hou's answer!"

The captain looked up helplessly, but his eyes couldn't match Zhang Zhou's eyes.

"I don't know what advice the Marquis has!"

"May I have your name, please?"

"Humble min Cong!"

"Captain min, can you tell me whether his highness King Jing is in the city now?"

"I don't know this humble position!"

"What do you know?"

Min Cong knows that he intends to be embarrassed, but he doesn't dare to refute. He clearly sees Zhang Zhou's hand on the handle of the knife. Now he knows very well what the Royal gold knife on Zhang Zhou's waist represents!

Zhang Zhou is equipped with an imperial gold knife with unbearable rolling blade, but he won't pull it out. It will hurt the emperor's face! But as long as it is hung at the waist, it can play its role.

"Humble position, humble position..."

Min Cong's brain has burst into a cold sweat! Zhang Zhou sneered and said to a squire behind him, "give me the knife!"

His saber has been sent back to Hezhou for repair. When the squire handed the knife to Zhang Zhou, min Cong plopped down on his knees and said in a voice, "Marquis, be kind, humble, just follow orders!"

He later heard about Zhang Zhou's feats, including killing big families in Suzhou. He knew that he was definitely a "butcher level" figure in front of him. Besides, he still had a royal gold knife in his hand. How can he not be afraid?

Zhang Zhou took a knife and said in a cold voice, "is king Jing in the city?"

"Marquis, I really don't know about the humble position! If you kill the humble position, the humble position can't answer!"

"Who is the general in charge of Wuzhou Prefecture now?"

"It is the new Wuzhou to appease general min!"

"Also surnamed min?"

"Yes, it's a humble uncle!"

Zhang Zhou threw the knife down and inserted it into the ground in front of Min Cong. He said coldly, "give you a time to burn incense and find your uncle! At a moment later, you can't escape the crime of ignoring the Royal gold knife!"

……

Although they were the same in terms of rank, min Wengong was still a powerful pacifying general. However, he was as humble and polite as his subordinates. When he drove his horse ten feet away, he turned over and dismounted. He walked quickly to Zhang Zhou's horse and saluted with a fist: "at the end, see min Wengong to the Duke of Kyushu!"

Min Wengong is in his forties. He is burly and has a strong face. In particular, there is a large cyan birthmark on his left face, which makes Zhang Zhou think of the blue faced beast in the water margin.

Zhang Zhou didn't mean to be polite. He said bluntly, "blockade the shanty town in the west of the city! Ben Hou will clean up the bones for my brothers!"

Min Wengong was slightly stunned. He thought of King Jing's order again and respectfully hugged his fist and said, "last general, obey!"

The fire destroyed the whole shanty town! Some officers and soldiers at the scene have started cleaning up. Zhang Zhou stopped them and drove them out! It was night that day. Now it's a mess. It's difficult to determine the specific location!

Zhang Zhou searched with his memory, and finally found the small courtyard that had become scorched ruins and the carbon pile that burned the corpse. Zhang Zhou refused his subordinates' help, knelt beside the carbon pile, read the names of the dead, and put the ashes into the prepared jar. The attendants around them knelt and sealed the jars and marked their names on the jars. Min Wengong and min Cong stood not far away. They saw them clearly and heard them clearly.

"Brothers, you died for my boat, but I can't distinguish between your ashes and dust. Blame me! It's my boat! It's my boat that made you stay here alone for so long! I don't beg your forgiveness, but please believe me, I won't let your family suffer in Hezhou! Today I'll take you back and bury you in the most beautiful place in Hezhou Good place, so that you can see later. How did I make Zhang Zhou... "

Zhang Zhou burst into tears when he spoke emotionally. Four monks chanted the sutras solemnly, and twenty big men knelt down behind Zhang Zhou and cried. It was sad and heavy, which made people feel depressed. Uncle and nephew min couldn't help but step back silently and couldn't bear to continue watching

After collecting the ashes, Zhang Zhou didn't leave immediately. Instead, he cleared an open space in the ruins and set up a mourning hall. He should keep the spirit here for seven days! This gives min Wengong a headache, but he doesn't dare to intervene too much. He just quietly orders to block the area and block the news as much as possible. The general meaning of King Jing is to make things small and trivial and minimize the impact!

Min Wengong also felt that the lives of more than 20 subordinates were not a big deal and could not equal the prince's face, but Zhang Zhou's emotional scene made him feel that King Jing should have underestimated the consequences of this matter!

On the third day, Zhuang Shanke, who had been inactive, couldn't sit still. He came to the mourning hall alone and found a plain wrapped Zhang Zhou.

"Zhang Zhou, what do you want? I really thought I didn't dare to kill you!"

Zhang Zhou sat on a small stool and continued to put paper money into the brazier without raising his head. He said coldly, "Zhuang Shanke, you were proud of your identity more than ten days ago and didn't kill me earlier. You must regret it! I was already in a situation of death that day. I wasn't afraid of you. Can you scare me by saying this now?"

Zhuang Shanke didn't attack, and said sarcastically, "do you think the night will appear every time?"

"I can't guess whether master ye will appear or not, but if I Zhang Zhou comes to Wuzhou this time, the world will know! Well, you can kill me and try! See your identity as teacher Jing Wang, can you protect your head and his title at that time!"

Zhuang Shanke really can't make up his mind to kill the only Duke of Datang in broad daylight! Moreover, Cao Yi has been out of control and forced the other party to be anxious. He can't afford the consequences!

"Zhang Zhou, up to now, I hope you can figure it out. It's not good for anyone to continue to fight against it!"

Zhang Zhou put the last piece of paper money in his hand into the brazier and stood up slowly!

He lifted up his white robe, took off the gold knife from his waist, held it in his hand, looked at the villa mountain guest for the first time and said, "how many officials are you?"

Zhuang Shanke looks embarrassed and has no words. He belongs to Keqing and has no official status!

"If you don't have an official, that's the grass people! Do you know how many officials can be killed first and then played with this golden knife?"

Zhuang Shan's guests are cold and still silent! Zhang Zhou's face was solemn and said, "you're a grass-roots citizen. Even if you had been rebellious against me in the past, you dare to speak out in front of me today? What qualifications do you have to talk to me? Who spoiled you out of ignorance of heaven and earth? Or did you despise the imperial power and really treat the Royal sword as a decoration?"

The green veins on Zhuang Shanke's forehead burst and he felt that his fists were about to be broken! But when he saw the four great monks around the mourning hall, he forced his anger down and said, "Zhang Zhou, you don't need to argue in front of me! I have worries behind me, and you also have obstacles that I can't let go. I have to let water and fire not? Fish die and the net is broken! I have a word to advise Hou ye that he who knows current affairs is a hero, and don't be impulsive and capricious!"

"Ben Hou has nothing to say to you, but please tell King Jing! He owes me a incense to my dead brothers!"

Zhuang Shanke gnawed his teeth and said fiercely, "if so, I will bring it!"

The seventh day, evening! A tall man, wearing a cloak covering his head, appeared in front of the mourning hall. It was Zhao Qijue, King Jing, who followed Zhuang Shanke and min Wengong in the distance!

Zhang Zhou stood facing him, and the people around the mourning hall avoided him. Zhang Zhou didn't salute, and Zhao Qijue didn't pick a reason!

"Zhang Zhou, do you want the king to be soft to you?"

"Your Highness is serious. I Zhang Zhou don't have the idea that I don't know the superiority of heaven and earth! I just let your highness know that these brothers died in Wuzhou. There's no way to live. I'll become a heart knot! It'll be difficult to sleep and eat! It'll be endless!"

"Oh, are you threatening the king?"

"Threat? More than ten days ago, I almost died here. Your highness doesn't know! If God didn't care, I'm afraid I would become a handful of carbon ash here. It's definitely not a threat, but really trying to kill me! What do you think of this?"

Zhao Qijue was a little embarrassed. She wanted to kill each other, but now she complains that the other party is disrespectful to herself.

Zhang Zhou added: "I don't blame your Highness for what he did. After all, your highness is also a mortal. As the eldest son of the Empire, you have to shoulder more things than others. There are many times, you have to do it against your heart or helpless!"

Zhao Qijue sighed, which moved his understanding.

"It's really my fault this time. I hope you can forgive me! Even if we can't be friends in the future, we can avoid the well water from the river!"

Zhang Zhou shook his head and said: "Your Highness King Jing, it's just you and me. I'll be honest with your highness. When I went out of Beijing this time, your majesty asked me to investigate a matter. Someone secretly reported that the wuxia mountain had bad behavior when it was a disaster for the people! The king's teacher is from the wuxia mountain, and he also cultivated shady forces! I also hope to stay away from the river with your Highness's well water, but if my heart knot I can't open it. I'm afraid it's hard to do it! I promised elder Gu something, but those refer to the past. As for the future, your highness King Jing, do you think I will miss this opportunity to retaliate? "

Zhao Qijue heard about the investigation of wuxia mountain for the first time. She frowned.

Wuxia mountain is not only a powerful stronghold in the Wulin, but also has a lot of connections with the royal family. Zhuang Shanke is the elder of wuxia mountain and is well known all over the world! Shi Zhen, Zhao Qixuan's confidant, is also the leader of wuxia mountain in recent years and follows the elder Xun Qingzi.

If Gu Xuanji is the first in the realm of wuxia mountain, Xun Qingzi is the first in seniority. Gu Xuanji has to call each other a martial uncle! But these years, he is old and has been living in seclusion. There are four or five experts from Wuxia mountain in the clouds and waters of the Imperial Palace!

It doesn't matter. What matters is that Zhao Qijue knows what her teacher did when the people were in trouble. The guy who raised the flag to build momentum and pseudonymed Li Kuan is his nominal younger martial brother and the personal disciple of Zhuang Shanke. Although she promised Gu Xuanji and pretended not to see some things, if Zhang Zhou clung to Wuxia mountain in the name of will, Even collapse, what will happen?

You know, this Zhang Zhou is extremely lethal! Not one or two officials were killed by Zhang Zhou, let alone small fish and shrimp. There has been a popular saying in Kyoto officialdom: if you dare to provoke Zhang Zhou, the good will come to an end! Who knows what despicable means this guy will come up with to deal with himself? Besides, there is Ping Wang behind Zhang Zhou. Once this guy really bites himself like a mad dog, Who dares to say that he won't hint anything to King Ping? Zhang Zhou promised Gu Xuanji, but others didn't! Who can guarantee the future?

Zhao Qijue looked at Zhang Zhou and said directly, "I thank you for your openness. I want to give incense to your dead brothers. How about it?"
