Liang Shizhong shuddered involuntarily. He was stunned by the imperial edict just now. Now Emperor Rong Xi appeared in person to support Xu Zizhen, and she had never seen such a tough attitude.
Still arresting Xu Zizhen? How?
Liang Shizhong made a decisive decision and chose to give in. He knelt on the ground and said repeatedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
Xu Zizhen was so happy that he loved Zhao Chang so much. If there weren't so many people here, he would have hugged Zhao Chang and kissed him for a few times.
The old man next to Zhao Gou stepped forward and whispered: "Master Liang, why don't you retreat quickly?"
Liang Shizhong quickly got up and said hesitantly to Xu Zizhen: "Xu... Master, I wonder if I can let the dog go back with me?"
Xu Zizhen waved his hand, and Bao'er took back the knife and came back to stand next to him obediently. The fierceness he had just held Liang Yanei hostage with the knife disappeared in an instant, and he turned back into the handsome young man with low eyebrows and pleasing eyesight.
Liang Shizhong took his soldiers, his servants, and his dogs back in dejection, leaving the people watching the excitement to burst into loud cheers.
Xu Zizhen smiled and bowed around him. Zhao Gou and Zhao La came over with smiles on their faces. Zhao La opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he twitched his nose and frowned: "How long has it been since you took a shower? Why are you like this?"
Smelly?"
Su Sanha burst out laughing: "Sister Diji, you don't know, I held my nose and followed him, so you deserve to be blamed all the way."
Zhao Chang had met Su San and knew about Su San's general situation. She liked this straightforward girl very much. No one would talk to her like this in the palace. Su San's words made her stunned and then smiled.
This smile was so charming that Xu Zizhen was going to retort to Su San's words, but he couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded.
Zhao Gou coughed slightly at the right time, pulling him back from his daze. Wen Chengyan and his daughter had been standing aside without saying a word since Zhao Gou and Zhao Last appeared. They didn't know what they were thinking. Zhao Gou glanced at Wen Chengyan and thought.
Naturally clear.
"Master Wen..."
As soon as Zhao Gou called out, Wen Chengyan quickly said: "Chengyan is just a commoner in Daming Mansion now. Your Majesty must not call him by his old name again."
Xu Zizhen secretly laughed beside him. My father-in-law had resentment in his heart, but it was pointless to talk to Zhao Gou like this. If there was a stalemate, no one would be safe. Wen Chengyan was a rare good official. In Xu Zizhen’s imagination, Zhao Gou would be the future
His place is indispensable in the Gou Dynasty, so now is the time to take the opportunity to lay the groundwork.
"Master Qi, father-in-law, please take a step to speak." Xu Zizhen winked at Zhao Gou and pulled Wen Chengyan aside.
Zhao Gou was very curious when he saw his mysterious appearance, and Wen Chengyan didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd. The two of them followed him to the side and both looked at him.
Xu Zizhen cleared his throat and said to Wen Chengyan seriously: "Father-in-law, civilians are a temporary transitional period. Now the six thieves in the court are in power, and the seventh master himself is also living a miserable life. But I have something to tell you today.
Well, that is - in the near future, the Song Dynasty will enter its most powerful stage in hundreds of years, and you, my father-in-law, are an indispensable soul figure in creating this stage!"
His words were meant for Zhao Gou and Wen Chengyan. Although the words were not long, they both stayed there in shock. Zhao Gou was the first to react and said to Wen Chengyan in an extremely cooperative manner: "Mr. Wen,
Now there is a small mischief in the morning, I hope you can bear with it for a while, and one day the sea and the sky will be brighter."
Xu Zizhen secretly praised that Zhao Gou spoke so beautifully. No wonder he became the emperor. Thoughts were swirling in his mind. He looked at Wen Chengyan and at the same time winked without leaving any trace.
Wen Chengyan still didn't understand, so he immediately fell down and bowed down. Zhao Gou quickly grabbed him with quick eyes and hands. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and all the unhappiness and resentment disappeared.
Xu Zizhen was very satisfied. Zhao Gou had now shown his trust in him and gradually developed a tacit understanding with him.
The three of them returned to their original place. Zhao Gou took Xu Zizhen's hand and came to the old man and introduced him: "Zizhen, this is Mr. Li Gang, the prefect of Daming Prefecture."
Li Gang took the first step and bowed his hands to Xu Zizhen with a smile, and said as a commoner: "I have heard about Xu Gongzi's reputation for a long time, and today I finally meet him. I am glad to meet you!"
Xu Zizhen suddenly dusted his sleeves and bowed to Li Gang with a solemn expression. Zhao Gou and Li Gang were both stunned, but seeing Xu Zizhen return to his normal state, he smiled and said: "Master Li, can we be friends for the rest of the year?"
Li Gang's brain was a little unable to keep up with his rhythm, but he still smiled heartily and said: "Isn't it already the case now?"
This fifty-year-old scholar Li Gang will be the first prime minister of the Zhao Gou Dynasty in the future. He is an upright and staunch man. Xu Zizhen has always admired him. Since they are destined to meet him now, it is natural to establish a relationship first.
It was inconvenient for Li Gang to stay for a long time, so he left first. Xu Zizhen leaned into Zhao Gou's ear and whispered: "Master Qi, you might as well get acquainted with Mr. Li, because he will also be the soul of that era."
Zhao Gou was startled and wanted to ask more questions, but Xu Zizhen walked away.
Xu Zizhen returned to Zhao Chang with a playful smile. Just when he was about to speak, Zhao Chang raised his hand to cover his nose and said helplessly: "Can you take a shower first?"
Xu Zizhen had to take a shower and change clothes at Wen's house first. Kou Qiaoyi gave him another surprise. There was a change of clothes for him in the baggage he brought with him, from clothes to shoes and socks. Kou Qiaoyi burned a large bucket with the help of Dark Green
Water allowed him to take a pleasant bath.
After coming out of the house, Xu Zizhen felt relaxed all over. After escaping from Xiao Zhangjiagou, he went into the mountains and hid in the cave for half a month, and then came to Daming Mansion. The weather is now warm, and half a month has passed.
After getting out of the water, my whole body smelled rancid, and my socks felt like they had been starched when I took them off.
In the main hall of the Wen family, Zhao Gou and Zhao La were sitting in the middle. Wen Chengyan asked the Prime Minister to accompany him, while Wen Xian stood quietly behind his father. When they saw Xu Zizhen walking into the house in high spirits, their eyes lit up. They had not seen Xu Zizhen lose weight these days.
He was dead, but his spirit was better, and he exuded an indescribable heroic spirit.
Li Gang had already returned first, and there was no one else in the room except them. Xu Zizhen waved to everyone with a smile and sat down opposite Wen Chengyan.
Zhao Gou could no longer hold back and asked him about his experiences during this period. Xu Zizhen explained everything in detail, including how he fell into the water and was rescued, how Zhang Mu died trying to save him, and how he hid in the mountains.
They couldn't help but sigh.
After all these were explained, Xu Zizhen said: "Master Qi, since I'm back, let's go back to Bianjing as soon as possible. We should prepare for some things."
When Zhao Gou heard this, he immediately became serious: "Oh? How should I prepare?"
He usually calls himself Gu, but he only calls himself me in front of Xu Zizhen. This makes Xu Zizhen very happy, at least Zhao Gou didn't put on airs for him.
Xu Zizhen said: "You don't need to prepare anything in particular, God has already prepared your path, and it's all determined by how you go."
When Zhao Gou heard this, his heart moved again.
My way?
