Hidden Blade Chapter 23: Changan

The slight change in Xu Han's complexion didn't hide from Gu Dao's left eyes, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized something.

He said something wrong. He said something that everyone knew but couldn't say.

Of course, such a thing cannot be said, but it is the only thing that cannot be said in front of Xu Han, and it happens that the old fox Zhang Xiang is also beside him. If this happens, the guilt is too big, but the Yi tribe. The trouble of the ancient leader, who was still aggressive just now, changed his face, and dense sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead.

"The ancient leader said it well!" Xu Han, who was successful in the calculation, smiled at that time, and then turned his head to look at the silent old man. "Prime Minister Zhang, can you really hear the words of the leader just now?"

"Hmm." The old prime minister nodded, but was noncommittal.

This posture made Gu Daozuo confused about the reality, and he froze in place for a while.

"That's good." The smile on Xu Han's face was even worse. He took a step forward and came to Gu Daozuo, opening his mouth to say something.

"I think that Palace Master Xu's words are quite reasonable, and the ancient leader still wants to search the city as the safest." But before he could say anything, the drowsy voice suddenly sounded, and he was still watching his nose. Looking at the mind with his nose, it seems that he has never cared about everything around him.

When these words were spoken, Xu Han was taken aback for a moment, and his gaze at the Zhang Xiang suddenly became complicated, but he was a little confused as to who he was trying to help.

"This..." Gu Daozuo was not stupid. He immediately understood the meaning of this image. Although he was a little unwilling, he had the handle to fall into their hands. At that time, it could only be Reluctantly, he arched his hands, turned and led the crowd to leave in a dingy manner.

When Gu Dao left and a greedy wolf guard walked away, Zhang Xiang turned around and bowed to Xu Hanyingying: "The wind is strong at night, and the old man is old, so I won't be with him."

After that, the old man has to turn around and leave.

When Xu Han saw this, he hurried forward to stop him: "The Prime Minister!"

"Huh?" The old man looked back when he heard the words, as if he had already anticipated Xu Han's obstruction. At that time, he squinted at Xu Han. A hint of smile. "Do you have any advice from the Palace Lord?"

Xu Han looked at the old man's situation for a long time before saying: "The wind is strong at night, I'll see you for a ride."

Yan Ba ​​winked at the people behind him, motioning them to go back first. Zhang Xiang smiled, but did not refuse, so he waited quietly for Xu Han to finish everything before he started on the road with him.

......

After this series of changes, the time came to be ugly.

Rao is the prosperous city of Chang'an. At this time, no more pedestrians can be found on the street. Only occasional patrol soldiers pass by. When they see Xu Han and Zhang Xiang, they stop and pay a visit.

Zhang Xiang has been a minister for so many years, and he has become accustomed to this matter. Every team of soldiers smiled in return when they saw him.

The two of them walked like this for about a quarter of an hour, and they were about to walk to the prime minister’s house. The Lord Zhang Xiang finally said at this moment: "Is the Lord Lord wondering why the old man would Help the old road to the left?"

This question is naturally what Xu Han wanted to ask, but Zhang Xiang’s words were so straightforward that Xu Han was slightly surprised.

Gu Daozuo is from Nagayasi. It is not a strange thing to help him. After all, he has been thinking about how to please that powerful man for most of the week.

But Zhang Xiang's behavior is strange. While helping Xu Han to confirm Gu Daozuo's faux pas, he did not give Xu Han a chance to make trouble, so he gave Gu Daozuo a step to go down. Such an approach may seem exquisite, but in fact, neither side of Chang'an City today is not guilty. In fact, both sides have already offended. At least in the eyes of Chang Yesi, Yu Zhuxian.

As far as Xu Han knows, Zhang Xiang has been an official in Dazhou for many years, and he can be regarded as a veteran of the two dynasties. He can't even understand this.

"Hmm." Seeing that Zhang Xiang was so frank, Xu Han nodded simply, admitting that he did have such doubts in his heart.

"Hehe." The old prime minister smiled at that time, but he didn't answer the question in the first place. "That said, the palace lord should still want to ask the old man if he is an enemy or a friend?"

Xu Han nodded again when he heard the words, and had to say that this image deserves to be a person who has invaded officialdom for many years, but Xu Han's thoughts can't be concealed from the other party.

"Is this important?" Zhang Sang squinted and asked again.

This is of course very important. Xu Han thought secretly in his heart that Tiance Mansion is isolated and helpless in Chang'an. Although Zhang Xiang can’t compare to Zhu Xian, he still has the right to speak in the court of Chang Yesi. The minister, if he can get his support, he believes that Tiance Mansion's situation will definitely improve compared to before.

It's just that, Xu Han thought about it in his heart, and didn't say it. After all, he still couldn't figure out the thoughts of this appearance.

But the flash of hesitation on his face has already exposed his mind to Zhang Xiang's eyes.

"Friends and foes?" There was a hint of displeasure in the old man's eyes, as if he was disgusted with the word. "Everyone in this great Zhou literary and military officials and princely state shepherd thinks about who is the enemy and who is the friend. So what the enemy does, no matter how good it is, he must stop it, and what a friend does, no matter what is good or evil, he must help. Therefore, Da Zhou has what it is today."

The old man paused when he said it~IndoMTL.com~ His rickety body suddenly stopped, turning his eyes to look straight at Xu Han. Then he said again: "Palace Master Xu wants the old man to be a friend of Tiance Mansion, then he has to let the old man know what kind of friend Tiance Mansion wants."

Xu Han was taken aback when he heard what Zhang Xiang said. He seemed to have grasped something, but it seemed that he hadn't grasped anything.

"What does the prime minister mean?" he asked, frowning.

"No one." The old man smiled again, and he pointed to his left chest where his heart was beating.

"Zhu Xian is here with the dragon chair in the Putian Palace."

"Wei Gonggong pretends that the king is the heaven, the minister is the son, the king lets the minister die, and the minister must die if he tries his best."

"Where is Yuwenluo? It's pretending to take care of his life, and care for his people. As long as the fortune of the country survives, he will sit on the throne of the emperor for ten thousand years."

"And the old man wants to know what Palace Lord is pretending here?"

Of course Xu Han knows what he should say at this time.

For example, common people's righteousness, such as Jiangshan Sheji, this should be the best way to win the trust of the old man, but at that time, when he looked at the old man with a rickety figure and snow-white hair, what came to his lips, I don’t know. Why can't I spit it out.

He didn’t do this. Although he came to Chang’an, there was no lack of repaying the master’s and apprenticeship, but in the final analysis it was more for himself. Therefore, he was inexplicably ashamed at that time, and he didn’t dare to lower his head. speech.

"Where is the sir? What are you pretending to be?" Xu Han just plucked up the courage to ask.

This time, he changed his name, a fairly affordable one.

The old man looked at Xu Han, who had never responded to him. He was a little relieved and a little helpless.

He sighed and said at that time.

"Chang'an."
