"And I let you enter the East Palace so that you can act on your own, so that you can slowly establish your own power. I have already started planning when I saw you the first time. I am afraid that no one will stay in the East Palace. You can do whatever you want.
What you need to do. When the time comes, if you and I can cooperate inside and outside, we can definitely accomplish something great." Lin Qian simply ignored Zhang Tao's expression and kept talking!
"Listen to me, Lin Qian." After sorting out the chaos in his mind, Zhang Tao finally spoke.
Seeing Zhang Tao's expression, so serious, Lin Qian also felt strange, "Just tell me! I just want to hear your opinion."
Zhang Tao's heart was complicated. He didn't expect that his childhood good brother would have such huge ambitions after coming to the imperial city. So what should he do? He had agreed to help Gu Weiran, should he abandon him now?
Or help Lin Qian?
But in the end, Zhang Tao decided. He believed in his relationship with him. Even if they were from different camps, they could still be considered brothers. Even if they had to go to the battlefield in the end, they would show mercy to each other. Zhang Tao cherished this relationship very much.
"I'm sorry, Lin Qian. I promised Weiran to help him, not because he is more important than you, but because I have many reasons that I can't refuse." Zhang Tao told the truth. It was really impossible to abandon Gu Weiran at this moment.
It's a pity that Lin Qian said it too late.
Silence... Weird silence, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became silent, just like two armies confronting each other, leaving countless dead and injured corpses everywhere. The silent cry of silence seemed like someone was composing a desperate song.
Blood song.
"Lin Qian?" Zhang Tao sighed inwardly when he saw Lin Qian's smile stiffened.
"Haha, it's okay. You and I have grown up. It's normal to have different choices when facing this colorful world. So I wish you good luck, but I won't be merciful and give up my great achievements just because my opponent has you.
Opportunity? I have been preparing for many years, but I hope we can keep each other secret. This is not too much to ask, right? Just pretend that I didn’t say anything today." Lin Qian said with a smile.
Zhang Tao nodded, "This is inevitable." Originally, Lin Qian was hiding in the dark. If he said it out in advance, wouldn't he be exposed? Then could he still be considered a benevolent and righteous person?
"Okay! Then when you return to the palace tomorrow, we still have to stay drunk. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we still want to talk about Taixiang Village and our past." Lin Qian said.
"There is no need to send me off, so as not to be suspected." Lin Qian declined Zhang Tao and started to see him off.
Zhang Tao nodded, not knowing what to say. Lin Qian smiled slightly, then turned and left. However, the moment he turned around, Lin Qian's face became extremely cold, and his eyes flashed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
After such an incident, Zhang Tao had no intention of sleeping and walked under the night, with a heavy heart. Although Lin Qian said he didn't care, it could be seen from many places that he was disappointed, but what choice could he make?
On the second day, Zhang Tao took Qin Huanran and Wang first to the place where they lived. This is the residence of the commander. There are three people, Chang Ying, and three maids. Although there are only a few, there is no need to do the food and daily life by yourself.
, and the monthly salary is as high as 500 taels, which is completely comparable to ordinary second-grade officials.
Along the way, there was the token of the commander of the East Palace, so Zhang Tao was able to pass without any obstruction, and everyone looked at Zhang Tao with great respect. Even though Zhang Tao had not been in the imperial city for long, in fact, Zhang Tao was already quite famous.
Whether it was the civil and military competition with Yang Xiaobai or Sima Changkong, Zhang Tao's popularity was raised to the highest limit. However, when Zhang Tao came to the East Palace, his brows furrowed slightly!
I originally thought that this place would be a leisurely job, but now it seems that may not be the case. Although the East Palace is uninhabited at this time, these palace guards are too disorganized, right? They all look listless and chattering all day long.
, as if they hadn't slept for several days.
Moreover, Zhang Tao also keenly discovered that no one was patrolling around. It would be fine if it was normal. But if it is still like this after he takes office here, it will inevitably be true, and he will be unable to argue.
This shit basin must not be placed on his head. Zhang Tao walked to the door, and the two guards looked at Zhang Tao sideways, "Hey, who are you? Don't you know that no one is allowed to enter the forbidden palace?"
In fact, of course Zhang Tao knew the rules well, so he asked the princess to disguise herself as a man in advance. If others knew that Zhang Tao entered the forbidden palace with a beautiful wife like a flower, he would probably be impeached the next day.
Piles like mountains.
Of course, these cheats must have been caused by the eldest prince and the second prince instigating some ministers, but even so, Zhang Tao has no place to stand. It doesn't matter if he stinks when the time comes, Gu Weiran will also be implicated.
Zhang Tao took out the token, "This is me. These two are my friends. If you have any questions, you can ask the emperor." Of course, this sentence is pure fart. How could these two soldiers see the emperor?
Even if he saw it, he was not qualified to ask, and if they really asked, Gu Longtian wouldn't care about such a trivial matter. It was normal to cover up the past for himself, so Zhang Tao would not worry and make nonsense.
"Uh...it turns out to be Mr. Zhang. Forgive us for our blindness, please come in." The two of them remembered that they were about to have a baby when they saw the token, but they didn't pay too much attention to it. They just nodded and bowed twice, but
There was no intention to send Zhang Tao and others in.
Zhang Tao didn't care and strode in. "It seems that your appointment is not easy." Qin Huanran smiled.
Exhaling a breath, "This is what I expected. I don't think they will welcome me very much, but I have to straighten it out anyway. Jun'er, please work hard during this period and do as little as possible."
When you go out, I will find a way to get you a pass token."
"Yes." Wang nodded obediently. She has been accustomed to being in the room for so many years. Now, what is a little hardship for Zhang Tao? Is it completely commonplace?
What Zhang Tao didn't know was that as soon as he arrived at his mansion, the two people standing guard at the door had already spread the news like crazy.
"See Mr. Zhang!" Three Chang Ying, three maids are newly assigned by the emperor to Zhang Tao. Zhang Tao is a talent, Gu Longtian cannot ignore it, Chang Ying is of course smart and sensible, the maids are also pretty, and they are also pure virgins.
Voice.
Within the palace, officials of a certain level can enjoy the maids at will. Although it is not allowed by the regulations, it is an unspoken rule that everyone understands! Even if the emperor gave Zhang Tao three virgins, it would be obvious.
If you don't give birth to a child and cause death, then generally speaking there will be no problem.
"No gifts, help us take the Xinrui in and pack it up, and then prepare some commonly used items." Zhang Tao said.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang." In the palace, you cannot prepare items by yourself. Everything entering the palace needs strict inspection, so generally speaking, the items for daily life are prepared and purchased by the palace yourself.
.
"Let's go in and take a rest first," Zhang Tao said.
At this moment, a gambling was taking place in the guard room of the East Palace. After the news of Zhang Tao's arrival, the whole place became quiet. "Is this really so? Huh, what about the new commander? According to the old rules, brother.
Let's get ready to make progress, let's get along well with the new adults, hahaha." At this time, a man with thick eyebrows and small eyes laughed loudly.
"Vice Commander Wang, Vice Commander Shi, we have already made preparations, so don't worry." One of the guards said with a smile.
Wang Xi and Shi Geng are the deputy commanders of the East Palace. After the old commander enters the enshrinement hall, they are the local bullies here. Both of them are seventh-level martial arts masters. In addition, there is no one living here at all, so it has completely become a happy and carefree life for gods.
"Humph, you guys really still like to play tricks like this." At this time, lying on the bed next to him, he seemed to be in a completely different world from them.
"Ouch? Chen Mi? Do you think you are still Deputy Commander Chen? It seems that the old commander's lessons to you are not enough, right?" Wang Xi said disdainfully.
"Let's go, let's ignore people like this. We must first improve the relationship with the commander." Shi Geng said with a smile.
Although Chen Mi was lying on the bed, wearing ordinary civilian clothes, he still looked heroic, but his starry eyes were full of unyielding and stubbornness, and he was obviously a difficult person to deal with.
Zhang Tao is sitting in the hall at this time. This is where the commander interrogates Chang Ying or the palace maids. The commander has certain powers of life and death within his jurisdiction. All are equipped with an interrogation hall, and this place also requires detailed documentation and reporting.
You are not allowed to kill people casually in the palace. At this moment, Qin Huanran was standing next to Zhang Tao with a smile on his face and his eyes full of gloating. Everything placed in front of Zhang Tao's case table were gifts bribed by the guards below.
There are gold and silver jewelry, as well as antiques and rare treasures. It can be said that everything is available, and no one is left out. Zhang Tao even doubts that these guards in the forbidden palace found so many rare and rare treasures? Could it be that it is difficult to prevent domestic thieves from stealing?
Inside the palace?
"Master Zhang, this is a small thing for us as subordinates. In the future, we must work hard with each other and protect the East Palace together. Don't you think so, brothers?" Shi Geng said with a smile, and everyone below agreed.
, and Wang Xi on the side also had a flattering smile on his face.
"I didn't expect this group of people to be so monolithic, tsk tsk... I'm afraid it won't be easy to win them over." Zhang Tao thought to himself.
Seeing that Zhang Tao didn't speak, they seemed a little uneasy, but Wang Xi and Shi Geng looked confident. "Are all the guards of the East Palace here?"
Hearing Zhang Tao's words, both of them were overjoyed, "No, there is another person named Chen Mi who is not here."
(The last outbreak is over! Yuehua has erupted for three consecutive days! Yuehua has done it! I hope everyone will continue to support Yuehua###, the outbreak will continue, life will not stop, and the outbreak will not stop! Hahaha, please support me!)
