Xiahou Ba looked directly into Yang Zheng's eyes.

Yang Zheng looked magnanimous.

The cold wind hit their faces, making both of them sober.

"Why don't you defend yourself?"

"If the general trusts his subordinates, there is no need for his subordinates to say anything. If the general does not trust his subordinates, it will be useless for his subordinates to say ten thousand words."

After a long time, Xiahou Ba's eyes became much gentler and said, "Get up."

"Yes." Yang Zheng stood up respectfully.

"Who do you think did it?" Xia Hou said domineeringly.

"My subordinates feel that the most urgent task is not to find the murderer, but to find Governor Lu."

What if we find the murderer?

It is obvious that this matter was either done by the scoundrels of the Sima family or by a few big treasures around Cao Shuang.

However, Lu Zhi and Guo Huai were old friends, so it shouldn't be like this. Guo Huai's methods mostly used force to suppress others, and were upright and upright, leaving people unable to resist. The despicable behavior of assassination was very similar to the style of Deng Yang and others.

Only this method can hurt Yang Zheng's muscles and bones.

Just imagine if Lu Zhi died in Xiping, Yang Zheng would be speechless.

At that time, it will be pointed out by thousands of people.

This kind of thing often doesn't require evidence.

If the other party dares to do this, they must have prepared ironclad evidence.

But as long as Lu Zhi lives, there is still room for redemption.

There are so many bad guys in Qin Liang, so he can't just slam the shit basin on the head of a good guy like himself, right?

"You are right." Xiahou Ba seemed to suddenly understand.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Xiahou Ba makes such a fuss, his personality is as fiery as fire, so he won't take it seriously when he says it.

After all, he is still his niece and grandson-in-law, even if his bones are broken and his tendons are connected.

He was the one who told him to rush forward in the first place, so as not to worry about getting his balls hurt.

"What do you think when the imperial court transfers you to Jingzhou?" Xiahou Ba changed the subject.

Yang Zheng cupped his hands and said: "How can I be ordered to go to Jingzhou? Doesn't the general know Li Sheng's thoughts?"

I don’t know what General Cao is thinking. He has tried to destroy Ye Wudai, Midian, and Bald. He will be treated as a treasure in all dynasties, but Cao Shuang wants to kill himself.

"The imperial edict is here, how can you resist and disobey it?"

"My subordinate is not disobeying. It's just that I have recently been exposed to the Qiang and Shaodang Qiang. Zhong Qiang Yushu colluded again and invaded Xiping. I want to stay for a while to completely pacify the Qiang people for the imperial court, and then go to Jingzhou." Yang Zheng.

He said with sincerity.

Xiahou Ba nodded, "This reason makes sense. I also received a letter from Taichu recently. He is mediating on your behalf to give you some peace of mind."

"Father-in-law?" Yang Zheng felt a little moved.

This is where you can enjoy the shade under the big tree.

Having a good father-in-law saves twenty years of struggle in life.

These days, if you don’t have a family background, you can only rely on in-laws and nepotism.

Saying that she was killed by Li Sheng, wouldn't Xiahou's talented girl become a widow?

Xia Houxuan's thinking is still clear.

"I didn't expect that the imperial court would be so troubled after Sima Yi went there." Xiahou Ba also realized the source of the problem, with a look of disappointment on his face.

After Cao Shuang took over the power, what he did made the imperial court a mess and made the whole world resentful.

This is not something Yang Zheng of his status can accept.

After Xiahou Ba sighed with emotion for a while, he said: "Be more careful and find Lu Shiying quickly. Recently, we have been reporting carefully from the south. The Shu army has invaded the north again. I will return to Yunwu first."

"Subordinates obey orders!"

The two then parted ways.

With Xiahou Ba's words, Yang Zheng felt confident.

My father-in-law is still reliable.

The next step is to find Lu Zhi.

Unexpectedly, things turned out to be such a turn of events, and Lu Zhi turned out to be an old friend of his father.

So, if Cao Shuang dies, Lu Zhi will be a big help to him?

Xiping has no shortage of strong soldiers and generals, but what it lacks most is military advisors and think tanks.

Du Yu has this level and ability, but his heart is not the same.

Of course, Yang Zheng felt that the main reason was that he was not strong enough.

In these troubled times of the Three Kingdoms, how many true loyal ministers are there?

Du Yu kept saying that he was loyal to Cao Wei. Didn't he eventually surrender to the Sima clan in history?

Perhaps after seeing the Sima family's methods, Du Yu's mind will change.

In the next two days, Yang Zheng and Wang Mai searched nearby river valleys of all sizes and wiped out several groups of bandits, but no trace of Lu Zhi was found.

The scouts from the north, south, and south all returned without success.

Such a large living person seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

If Lu Zhi really disappears, he will be blamed in the end.

Sure enough, the prefects of Wuwei, Zhangye, Tianshui, Anding, Jiuquan and other places all sent letters. The good ones were inquiring, and the bad ones directly called Yang Zheng a thug and a thief, saying that they would personally go to Luoyang to impeach Yang Zheng for all his evil deeds.

OK.

Even Guo Huai sent an envoy to question him sternly.

Yang Zheng felt like he had poked a hornet's nest.

Fortunately, Xia Houxuan and Xia Houba withstood the pressure, otherwise the saliva from the three places of Yongliang and Qin would have drowned Yang Zheng.

Lu Zhi was originally from Fufeng County.

Although he was born into a common people, when he followed Cao Zhen to guard Guanyou, he was very skilled in guarding the border and managing the people well. The people still appreciate his kindness to this day.

I searched north, south, east, and west, but found no clues. I only found that the Qiang thieves came from Wuwei.

Wuwei is the largest of the four counties in Liangzhou, with Tufa Xianbei to the north, the Xiongnu tribe to the west, and Juqu and Qianghu to the south.

This group of thieves disappeared like mud cows into the sea.

But Yang Zheng became more and more convinced that this was done by a big treasure close to Cao Shuang.

Just when he was frowning, someone suddenly came from Xidu.

"Report to the general that Governor Lu has entered the Western Capital. General, please come and meet him!"

Yang Zheng was stunned and couldn't help but slapped his head. Since he had searched all over the north, south, east, and west, he must have gone west!

Fortunately, Lu Zhi was one of our own. If it had been someone else who had occupied the Western Capital so quietly, he might have been overturned.

As long as the old man is still alive, everything will turn around.

Yang Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief and hurried back to Xidu.

Thinking of how much I had emptied out, I felt like I had taken off my pants and farted.

Then I thought about it, General Cao was really his noble man, and he sent him such a great gift before he was about to finish playing.

Xidu is still the same Xidu. Seeing Yang Zheng's flag, they opened the door directly in the middle of the night.

Seeing Lu Zhi's eagerness, Yang Zheng didn't care that the sound of horse hooves disturbed the residents in the city.

The Prefect’s Mansion welcomed a real Prefect.

The lights were brightly lit, and it was obvious that the people inside were not resting.

Dozens of hunky-backed guards stood with swords in their hands, their armors stained with brown blood, and their eyes filled with gnashing hatred.

"Gong Lu has an order to summon General Yang to see him."

"Fart!" Liu Heng pushed several people away.

The guards suddenly pulled out their swords, and a hundred people blocked the young officer in front. "Gong Lu has an order, and only Yang Zheng is summoned to see him!"

This time even the general was exempted from calling him by his first name.

Yang Zheng couldn't help but feel angry. This man was so brave.

It's one thing for you to respect Lu Zhi, but it doesn't mean that these little fish and shrimps can dominate in front of you.

Simply stop trying to stop Liu Heng.

Liu Heng reached out to grab him, but the man dodged Liu Heng's palm and kicked Liu Heng on the waist.

Extremely flexible.

Although Liu Heng was as strong as an ox, he was staggered by his kick.

Yang Zheng was stunned, this man has some abilities.

Liu Heng became angry and pulled out his sword.

The hundred generals also drew their swords.

The two were at odds with each other and were not convinced by each other.
