"Oh, by the way, there should be Zhang Bangchang accompanying you then, but you don't need to worry about him, just look after yourself."
Zhao Gou was stunned again. Xu Zizhen only knew this name, but he didn't know that Zhang Bangchang was the Dazai, the first prime minister of the dynasty. He was half a rank higher than Wang Fu. Logically speaking, such a high-ranking and powerful man would not know this.
He was reduced to being a hostage, but Xu Zizhen said it so seriously that he couldn't help but not believe it.
There is another sentence that Xu Zizhen did not say. With Zhao Gou's current status, everyone from Huizong to the ministers would first think of letting him be a hostage. However, taking the initiative and being assigned are two different concepts. Although Zhao Gou
I will definitely become emperor in the future, but I must give him a good reputation from now on.
Xu Zizhen was completely relaxed now. He had been worried about how to convince Zhao Gou to accept and trust him, but now it seems that this is not a problem. He only used the same old routine that has not changed for eight hundred years - born with psychic powers.
This made Zhao Gou's eyes sparkle with enthusiasm.
It's better to go back to ancient times. At that time, people didn't know that the earth was round, that there were no gods in the sky, or that humans were transformed from monkeys. Of course, the novels I read in later generations and the storytelling I heard also established this
I have achieved great success, otherwise I might not even be able to tell the difference between Jin and Liao.
Xu Zizhen did not stay any longer. The envoys from the Kingdom of Jin had already come to Bianjing for negotiations. It was about time that King Kang entered the Jin camp. He needed to go back to arrange Daye and Zhuo Ya first. He had made an appointment with Zhao Gou first.
Give Zhao Gou more reassurance, and he, the half-immortal himself, will accompany him, so there is nothing to worry about.
Before leaving, he asked about Wen Chengyan's current situation. Zhao Gou told him with some helplessness that Wen Chengyan had been dismissed from his post and was under investigation. However, after his best efforts, the situation was not too bad. After his official position was removed, he took Wen Xian sadly.
He left Bianjing and returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors.
Xu Zizhen was very angry. Wen Chengyan had been kind to him, and his character and official status also impressed Xu Zizhen very much. Now that he had ended up like this, he couldn't help but feel angry, but he soon relaxed. Zhao Gou had already obtained it.
We can't wait long, and it won't be a problem for Wen Chengyan to be reinstated, and he will continue to rise to prominence.
The distance from Prince Kang's Mansion to the inn was not close. Xu Zizhen did not take the car again. He walked and thought about it all the way. When he returned to the inn, it was already afternoon. Ohno was waiting for him eagerly, and Zhuo Ya was also there. Xu Zizhen was a little strange. You must know that Zhuo Ya didn't usually do anything.
I never came to his room, but today I not only came, but also looked at him seriously, wondering what he was thinking.
"Are you going to do something dangerous again?"
That's what Zhuo Ya said. Xu Zizhen was startled and asked subconsciously: "How do you know?"
Daye suddenly jumped up: "Master, are you really going to risk your life again?"
Xu Zizhen couldn't laugh or cry: "What do you mean by risking your life? What did you two say?"
Zhuo Ya and Daye stopped talking and just looked at him seriously. Xu Zizhen couldn't hold it in anymore and had to surrender: "Okay, I'm telling you, I was going to let you know."
After he finished speaking, he told the details of his meeting with Zhao Gou, and how he would accompany Zhao Gou to the Jin camp to be a hostage, etc. Daye suddenly looked nervous, while Zhuo Ya frowned and looked at him, as if she wanted to see
It seemed to him in his heart.
Xu Zizhen smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, it's just a trip. You'll be back soon."
Zhuo Ya suddenly said: "I kind of believe what you said now. This trip has a narrow escape, but you look very excited."
Ohno said nervously: "Master, if it's really so dangerous, can you not go?"
Xu Zizhen said: "It's not that exaggerated. Anyway, Zhao Gou will definitely not die, and he will come back well in a few days. Not to mention me, with him and Zhang Bangchang here, I am a little person, who can have enough food?"
You have nothing to do to embarrass me?"
Having said that, Daye still refused to let him take this risk. Xu Zizhen waved to him and came closer, whispered something into his ear, and Daye nodded hesitantly.
Besides, I want to accompany him or even go to Jinying on his behalf.
Seeing how mysterious they were, Zhuo Ya couldn't help but want to speak, but Xu Zizhen said first: "I can't take you there this time, so just wait for me in Prince Kang's Mansion."
"No!" Zhuo Ya refused.
Xu Zizhen said: "When the time comes, Master Qi and I will have to escape to get back. What's going on with you? Are you planning to drag me to death?"
Zhuo Ya stopped talking and asked after a while: "How many people can King Kang bring with him?"
Xu Zizhen said with a smile: "One day when I go to Tubo to propose marriage, I can bring a few thousand people with me, but this time I am going to be a hostage, not a aunt, so it would be good for the seventh master to bring me as his entourage."
Zhuo Ya's face suddenly turned red, she gave him a fierce look and said nothing. Xu Zizhen suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing again. His original intention was to propose marriage for Li Meng. How could this goddess think wrong again?
Daye packed his luggage gloomily, and quickly put it in order. He looked at Xu Zizhen pitifully: "Master, then I'm leaving, you... you must come back!"
Xu Zizhen put his hand on his shoulder: "Don't worry, as long as there are no mistakes in what I told you, nothing will happen to any of us."
Ohno nodded heavily and reluctantly left with red eyes.
Xu Zizhen did not let Zhuo Ya know what he arranged for Daye to do. After he checked out the room, he took her to Prince Kang's Mansion and entrusted her to Zhao Gou to stay. After that, he went out again because he was going to the Yamen of the Ministry of War.
Find someone - Wu Jie.
This heroic young man left a deep impression on him. When he first met him, he thought the name was somewhat familiar, but he finally remembered it on his way back to the inn from Prince Kang's Mansion.
There were four Zhongxing generals in the Southern Song Dynasty who left a great name in history. However, during these disaster-stricken decades, there were many famous generals in the Song Dynasty, and Wu Jie was one of them. Later generations would even
He was compared with Yue Fei, and some people suggested kicking Liu Guangshi out and replacing him.
As a time traveler, Xu Zizhen inevitably likes to look for celebrities everywhere, and now that he has met Wu Jie, he needs to strike while the iron is hot to consolidate the relationship, so that he can be useful in the future.
It was already getting late, and he wondered if Wu Jie was still in the Ministry of War trying to get those weapons from him. It would be best if they could meet each other and then go have a drink together. Friendship between men often comes from wine.
developed.
As he was walking, Xu Zizhen suddenly caught a glimpse of several figures out of the corner of his eye. They were sneaking around the corner in the distance carrying a sack. His curiosity was suddenly piqued, and he followed them quickly with light steps.
.
Those few people were not very old, and they were dressed casually. They looked like a few gangsters at first glance, and the sacks in their hands were bulging. Xu Zizhen had experience and knew from the appearance that the sack contained a person.
