The wine has passed three rounds, and the food has passed the five flavors.
I don't know if he drank too much, but Lao He was already a little dizzy.
"It's getting late, Uncle He, please go back and rest quickly."
"We have to go to bed early."
Zhang Bao urged Lao He to withdraw quickly.
Lao He, an old guy with no discernible taste, is still drinking hard. Tell me, we are a family of three here. Aren't you embarrassed that you are an old guy?
There is no ideological consciousness at all. The old bachelor is not unreasonable!
Su Xiaoyue on the side rolled her eyes at Zhang Bao.
"Ms. sir, just drink more with Uncle He. You haven't had a drink together for a long time. After you finish drinking, you will share the table and sleep here."
"I will sleep with my sister tonight."
"My sister has just come back, don't even think about it!"
Su Xiaoyue is now worthy of being the eldest wife of the family, and she has clearly arranged everything for tonight in just a few words.
"What was I thinking?"
"I'm not afraid that Uncle He will be late when he goes back. Isn't there something wrong with the gold and silver?"
"You're such a big lady, you can't do that. You've been thinking about all kinds of messy things in your little head all day long. It seems like you need to sort it out someday!"
"Well, both of them need to be dealt with!"
Zhang Bao stared at the two of them and said.
"Family law?"
"What family law?"
"Hey, speaking of this family law, your Zhang family had a lot of rules before!"
"It doesn't matter if you pee or not go into the chamber pot, can you bear it?"
"He was hung up and beaten at every turn. When your father was young, he was actually not a fool!"
Lao He said with drunken eyes.
Zhang Bao:......
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Xiaoyue and Ma Yan'er ran out long ago.
"Uncle He, you have to be careful. If you don't go back tonight, you may not be able to keep your things."
Zhang Bao sat down helplessly.
"cut!"
"I'm not talking to you—"
Lao He hasn't finished speaking yet.
There was a knock on the door.
Zhang Bao was stunned, it was already this time, how could anyone still be here?
When I opened the door, I saw a soldier.
"grown ups!"
"A man came from outside the city. He said he had something to ask for and asked to see the Lord!"
The visitor said gently to Zhang Bao.
"People from outside the city?"
"How could I not know the news in advance?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
"Let's go and take a look!"
"Uncle He, you close the door here and sleep!"
Zhang Bao turned to Lao He and said, and followed the visitor out.
When Zhang Bao came to the city wall of Sanhe County, he saw a person standing below, like a sharp sword, standing like a man and a horse, as if no one on the wall existed.
Master!
Zhang Bao's eyes turned cold.
He had only felt this feeling in Fang Fu.
Although the man in front of him is weaker than Fang Fu, I'm afraid he's not much different.
Zhang Bao frowned.
He broke into Hezhou alone without being discovered by his own people. Logically speaking, this small Sanhe County government would not stop him. Why did he stop again when he got here?
But at least it shouldn't be detrimental to yourself.
"Open the door!"
"I'll go out and take a look!"
Zhang Bao said to the people on the city wall.
"grown ups!"
"This person's origin is unknown, so it's better to be careful!"
The soldier next to him said to Zhang Bao.
"No problem!"
"Remove your bows and arrows and wait in the city."
Zhang Bao shook his head and walked straight out.
"I am the governor of Hezhou, Zhang Bao. May I ask what this brother is doing when he comes to visit you late at night?"
Zhang Bao stepped forward and said to the man.
"Are you Zhang Bao?"
"It's really good, you're brave enough!"
The visitor was very surprised.
Unexpectedly, a state shepherd would dare to come out alone.
With this courage alone, he has surpassed many state pastors.
"Your skills are also impressive. You can penetrate deep into our Hezhou state quietly. Most people must not be your match."
"Since we're stopping here, we might as well say it straight."
Zhang Bao said calmly.
"I came from Xiazhou for you. Can I talk to you outside the city?"
"Here..."
The visitor looked at the soldiers on the city wall and did not continue.
"Okay, there is a forest outside the city, and there are not many people there."
Zhang Bao nodded, presumably what this person wanted to say could not be attended by other people.
And if the man in front of him wanted to attack him, there was no need to go through such trouble. If he really wanted to do it, he could have done it when he came out just now, and the men and horses on the city wall would not be able to stop him.
Zhang Bao took this person to the woods outside the city, found an open space, sat down, and lit a bonfire.
By the light of the fire, I noticed that the person in front of me was in a very embarrassed state.
The clothes are very dirty, and there are some blood stains on them. Judging from the color, they must have been there for a while. The lips are also very chapped. Although he looks very tired, the person has a sharp edge.
General feeling.
Zhang Bao knew that this was the murderous aura that had not yet been adjusted after the war.
"Taifeng, the chief guard of the Forbidden Palace, please ask Zhang Zhou to enter Xiazhou and protect the Qing emperor!"
Tai Feng raised his hands and said to Zhang Bao.
"Um?"
"What's going on?"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised. From the recent news sent by people in Taohua Pavilion, Cao Kang did not take any action against the emperor except for his actions outside.
Could it be that these things happened recently?
"The current emperor is young and weak, and the great Sima Cao Kang deceives the emperor and monopolizes power, and only does good deeds. The emperor has almost no status in the palace."
"Some time ago, several important officials in the court wanted the emperor to take advantage of the opportunity to travel, but Cao Kang saw through it. Now he not only dismissed those important officials and demoted them to common people, but also imprisoned the emperor."
"Although I am just a bodyguard, I have received great favor from the late emperor, and I really can't bear the young emperor being bullied like this, so I came here to ask Zhangzhou Mu for help."
Tai Feng raised his hand and said.
"Taifeng?"
"From your name, it doesn't sound like you're from Daxia?"
Zhang Bao did not continue directly following Taifeng's words, but asked Taifeng.
"Yes, I come from the grassland. My tribe was slaughtered by the Klei tribe. I fled into Liaozhou alone. I was rescued by the late emperor. Seeing that I was good at martial arts, he stayed."
Taifeng nodded.
"Since you were so protective of the late emperor and the emperor, why didn't you take action when the power was in chaos?"
"Based on your ability, it seems you have a chance to kill Cao Kang, right?"
Zhang Bao asked calmly.
Naturally, Zhang Bao cannot be completely convinced by just a few words from one person.
What's more, what this person said was too unbelievable.
Although the emperor had been completely isolated before, now he was directly imprisoned. This nature was naturally different.
If this is really the case, then I'm afraid Cao Kang will also take action.
"All the officials in the court are ambitious. If you kill one Cao Kang, there will be another Cao Kang!"
"I can't kill them all by myself!"
"Moreover, Your Majesty is young and cannot serve as a human being. If you stand in front of others rashly, your life may be in danger!"
