lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Changan Fengliu!

Half a year ago, there was a trader in Xiangyang who was not good looking but had to attract some people's attention.

This person is tall and never trimmed. He is often dressed in messy clothes and unruly curly beards, taciturn but kind to others. Carrying a load every day, which contains some sweet desserts or linen needles and other things that children like, shuttles between Xiangyang city and countryside, rain or shine.

There are many such merchandisers everywhere. What brought him to people's attention was an accident. On that day, he was still carrying a burden to sell goods in Chengbei Port City. Suddenly, a frightened crazy horse rushed into the port city, knocking over many shops and hurting some people. Seeing that it was about to crash into a shop specializing in sugar-sellers and many children, women and children, it was dangerous. At this time, the shopkeeper came out of the diagonal stabbing, and slammed into the horse's head like electricity, knocking the crazy horse to the ground with just one punch!

A tragedy has been avoided, and people seem to have noticed for the first time that this hidden trader who is so powerful that they can point fingers at him has only one arm.

"General, respect you!"

In a private house, the shopkeeper raised the bowl with one hand and smiled at Qin Mubai, doing it first in respect.

Qin Mubai held the bowl, but did not eagerly drink it, but looked at the familiar and strange man opposite and smiled.

"Zhang Tong, have you always stayed in Xiangyang?"

"No, I just came back a year ago." Zhang Tong wiped his mouth, grinning, a little ashamed, but he didn't have any reservations or thoughts.

Just a year or two ago, this Zhang Tong in front of him was still a glorious member of Hundred Horses. He and Pang Fei and other 30 Baiqis accompanied Qin Mubai to Xiangzhou, but secretly helped his biological father Wei Xiaochen betray Qin Mubai, and finally broke his arm to make atonement. Since then, Qin Mubai has never heard from him again, and he did not expect to meet again here today.

When an old friend meets, all the grudges and grievances of the past are about to disappear, and the existing ones here are more emotional and embarrassing.

Qin Mubai drank a bowl of wine and looked around at the shabby and dilapidated house. There was still a knife hanging on the wall, the one he used to cut off his arm that day. Ride a special saber. Otherwise, everything is ordinary and simple.

Qin Mubai said: "Zhang Tong, why didn't you return to Chang'an?"

"I'm back." Zhang Tong nodded and replied briefly, "Back to my hometown, I recuperate and accompany my mother. Soon after my mother passed away, I couldn't find peace in Chang'an every day, so I came to Xiangyang again." /

"No peace?" Qin Mubai frowned suspiciously.

"Wang Wei." Zhang Tong wrinkled his brows and said, "I don't know where he heard from me, so he wants to draw me into his camp."

"Draw you up?" Qin Mubai was even more confused, "Why?"

Zhang Tong smiled slightly and said: "Did the general forget the Xiangyang|Water Ghost case? There were not many people who really knew the truth at that time. The villain was one of them. In fact, the villain was already a useless person. , And there is no power, no power, no name, no hope, what use does King Wei want me?"

Qin Mubai couldn't help but feel bright, and said: "He wants to target King Wu and me?"

Zhang Tong glanced at Qin Mubai, nodded solemnly, and said: "The Xiangyang|Water Ghost case involves many, including the Changan Weidu family, and many officials and generals in the Jingxiang area. Squire. The villain did not promise King Wei anything, but vaguely felt from his words that in addition to wanting to know all the details of the case of the water ghost, he also expected the villain to make perjury to slander the general and the king of Wu in Xiangzhou. Corruption and indiscriminate slaughter, as well as secret collusion and self-contained factions, aimed at the Donggong with unruly intentions."

Qin Mubai nodded slowly, and said: "When you return to Chang'an to recover from the injury, Wang Wei learned the news, it should be about the time before and after Emperor Yang's mausoleum was discovered. At that time, King Qi conspired to assassinate him. Donggong blamed me and King Wu on the case, and rebelled against the case. King Wei found you at that time and asked you to give evidence. It was indeed a ruthless move. First, you are the people around me who know the truth about the case, and second you The identity of Baiqi is also a powerful explanation. If you agreed to join King Wei at the time, King Wu and I must be quite passive." "So the villain did not agree." Zhang Tong's expression was calm, but his eyes flashed. With two groups of scorching light, he said loudly, "Zhang has already betrayed the general once, and it is better to die if he is conscientious! To say that the death of my mother is not as painful as the condemnation of my conscience! I can’t forgive his previous sins! How can I betray the general again?"

Qin Mubai sighed and nodded, "Come on, drink this bowl!"

After drinking a bowl of wine, Zhang Tong said: "At that time, Zhang was still keeping his filial piety, but he didn't care about so much, so he escaped overnight. Originally I wanted to go to you to explain this level to you, but at that time... Zhang really had no face to go to see the general again. Moreover, the general was also in trouble for the case of King Qi's rebellion. If Zhang reappeared, it would be more suspicion. So Zhang went incognito and changed his name and went back to Xiangyang. An inconspicuous little merchandiser--but General Pang Fei knows the villain! The villain also dares to live in Xiangyang without worry because of the presence of General Pang Fei."

Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing: "Pang Fei, this stinky boy, has a strong mouth. I didn't tell me about you when I met."

"Maybe it was too late to talk!" Zhang Tong smiled and said, "Today the villain ran into General Pang Fei and several former colleagues on the street and hurried away. Seeing those former colleagues, Xiao People also know that the general has come to Xiangyang. So the villain waited until he heard the news. At midnight, he finally waited for the general. He finally recognized the general!"

Qin Mubai nodded emotionally and smiled: "Zhang Tong, I said that day, you are guilty, but you are not wrong. I never really blamed you. Now, regardless of you What kind of life you have chosen and that you can live a peaceful and safe life, I am relieved. I think your current life is a bit miserable, but it can be regarded as a normal life. Then, you don’t have to live incognito. It's all over. I don’t blame you, and King Wei won’t make you any more ideas. You can find an errand in the Qinxian firm, set up a decent villager, and ask for a wife who can meet people. . These, I will arrange for you."

"No, no, no!" Zhang Tong hurriedly stood up, panicking with one hand, "In this life, Zhang Tong can see the general again and have a chat with the general like this. It is no regrets in this life! Zhang! He is also a sinner, and he has no face to return to the general, and even to see his former colleagues! The general... Please forgive the villain for not being able to accept it!"

Qin Mubai looked at Zhang Tong with a smile, and nodded: "Everyone has his own ambitions, I will not force you. However, the door of my Qin family will always be open to you. Whenever you have any difficulties, just come to me , You’re welcome."

Zhang Tong's face was full of wind, rain, vicissitudes and chaos. He was strained, his eyebrows were twisted and his eyes were fiery looking at Qin Mubai. He raised a fist and placed it on his chest, saying, "General, Although the villain is no longer worthy to be a soldier, in the eyes of the villain, the villain will always be the soldier of the general! Please give the military a single fist to the villain!"

Clenching a fist, he knelt down on one knee. He lowered his head, and despite his patience, tears flowed down.

Qin Mubai stepped forward and slapped his fist with a palm, just in time for a military salute to hold his fist.

"This prayer, I accept it."

"General Xie!"

Zhang Tong's tears flowed out like a torrent and couldn't hold back anymore, so he knocked his head on the ground.

Qin Mubai didn't pull him up or stop him. Perhaps, this will make his heart more happy and untie the knot that has been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

Quietly, Qin Mubai took off his purse and put it on the table, patted Zhang Tong who was still kowtow, and said, "I'm leaving, take care."

"Respectfully send the general!" Zhang Tong did not want to stay, but moved around on the ground and continued to kowtow to the door of Qin Mubai's room.

The bang sound seemed to fall in Qin Mubai's heart.

"How can I, Qin Mubai, how can I be, a layman is not even a good person, it is worthy of Zhang Tong to treat me like this... A Zhang Tong with a broken arm, many Zhang Tong who died in battle, and many others today Zhang Tong, who has always been with me."

"Treasure!... Their existence proves that I have not lived in vain in this life!" After walking out of half a dark alley, a series of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded behind him, and Zhang Tong's voice: "Qin... !"

Qin Mubai still had Zhang Tong ran back to pay back his purse, so he stood and waited for him to speak.

Zhang Tong stood still, glanced astutely left and right, and whispered: "The villain was so excited that he forgot to tell the general an important thing! Please return to the humble house again!"

Qin Mu frowned, "Okay!"

The two returned to the humble house again, and Zhang Tong seemed to have lived back to the one hundred cavalry guard that day. After a careful investigation, he did not look at and the ear of the wall before returning to the house. Only then did he glance at the money bag on the table, his expression sluggish. Presumably, I just kowped my head and suddenly remembered this, so I ran away without looking at the table.

Qin Mubai smiled and said that you just accept it, don't shy away and tell the truth.

Zhang Tong sat next to Qin Mubai and said in a low voice: "When the villain returned to Chang'an, he couldn't leave the door behind closed doors. One day, suddenly someone came to me, who claimed to be from Dengzhou. He belongs to King Qi and his surname is Liang."

"Liang Mengbiao?" Qin Mubai said in one mouthful.

"Yes, it's him! The villain once met him in Xiangyang, and has been with King Qi, but he has never had a relationship." Zhang Tong said, "At that time, he almost made the same request as King Wei. , Is to provide evidence that you and Wang Wu are rebelling in Xiangyang, and then give me a high-ranking official."

"Well, it's not strange." Qin Mubai said, "Liang Mengbiao should have followed Yin Hongzhi's order to find you. At that time, they were already plotting to return to Beijing to confess guilt, King Qi and Princess Gaoyang. And cut off, and force me and Wu Wang."

"These villains don't know, and because of his appearance, the little talent escaped overnight. It's just that the villain heard an amazing news from his mouth!" Zhang Tong said.

"What news?"

Zhang Tong's voice was lowered and said: "At that time, King Qi rebelled in Dengzhou, and there may be an internal response in the DPRK!"

"What?!" Qin Mubai was surprised, "Who is it?!"

"He didn't say." Zhang Tong said, "He just said that when Dengzhou raises an issue, the capital will be attacked to force the palace. At the same time, they have a secret that makes His Majesty very jealous. I was qualified to sit down and negotiate with the court! At that time, he encouraged me in this way. He said that as long as I provide evidence to sue the imperial court against the general and King Wu, it will be a great achievement!"

Hearing this, Qin Mubai's heart was covered with a haze, "Is there a secret that makes His Majesty the emperor afraid?"

"Yes, that's what he said." Zhang Tong said, "The villain doesn't know the details. They didn't say much to me. Hearing this, the villain was panicked in his heart, and Yu falsely agreed The purchase of two pieces of pornographic goods made them relax their vigilance and ran away overnight so as not to be wiped out."

"Well done, I'm not insulting the name of a hundred horses!" Qin Mubai took a deep breath and nodded, "At that time, you were not enough to report anyone, after all, it was just a one-sided statement without evidence and insufficient. Believe it. It’s right to escape overnight. But haven’t you heard anything about Chaozhong’s internal response? Or, the secret?"

"The villain also wanted to inquire at the time. But he was afraid that too much inquiring would cause them to doubt, so he didn't dare to ask more." Zhang Tong said, "However, Liang Mengbiao doesn't seem to know too clearly. He wanted to show off a little bit. The villain deliberately approached him while he was drunk, and he only vaguely mentioned a word that made the villain very strange-Emperor Xian!"

"The first emperor?" Qin Mubai was even more surprised.

"Yes, the villain remembers that it is true and absolutely can't be wrong. That secret may be related to the ‘Xiandi’. But I’m afraid Liang Mengbiao doesn’t know what it is." Zhang Tong said.

Qin Mubai nodded slowly, thinking, now Yin Hongzhi, Li You and his party members are all dead. Facts have proved that they didn't use any internal response and so-called "secrets" at the time, otherwise they would not lose so quickly, and the court would not see any abnormalities.

"Who is the internal response and what kind of secret is it?" Qin Mubai was lost in thought...
