Zhang Xin was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Zhang Songzhi is still alive? This is great. My father secretly sent him to the royal capital to pick up the people inside. Unexpectedly, the traitor caught the people first. It's okay now that everything is fine. My son
There is another capable person beside me.”
"Prince Ning, is Ning Zhongying yours?" Wei Tong looked at Ning Zhuo, who was in a daze, and asked.
"Master Hou is indeed the general of my Ning family. He has grown up in the family since he was a child. He practiced martial arts with me when we were young, and we can be regarded as people who get along day and night. A few years ago, my father sent him to protect my eldest brother's safety. Unexpectedly, he
He actually got out of trouble, I couldn't believe it for a moment." Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "If there is nothing else, I would like to go see him."
"Your Majesty Ning, please." Wei Tong immediately agreed with a smile.
"Prince Zhang, are you not afraid that Zhang Songzhi is a spy?" Wang Shanxing, the right minister, asked.
"Right Minister, I heard you right. They should all be escorted to the northwest. If Liu Zhenshan hadn't led his people to rescue people privately, they would have escaped. I'm afraid they would have been working as hard labor in the northwest. This group of people
There should be no problem." After Zhang Xin finished speaking, he gestured to the little prince: "Little prince, my subordinates are also going to see Zhang Songzhi. I think there may be some of your generals among them." Zhang Xin said.
After hearing this, since the meeting was over, everyone dispersed.
"Mingdian, are you sure Ning Zhongying will be fine?" After Ning Zhuo came out, he did not go to Lin Haoming immediately, but found Ning Mingdian first.
Lin Haoming is not optimistic about Ning Zhuo. One of the big problems is that Ning Zhuo is a different person on the surface but also a different person on the inside. He has almost no trust in people.
"Your Majesty, unless the other party has calculated that Liu Zhenshan will come to kidnap An Guogong's young master, how can he send spies there? Moreover, Your Majesty, although you have three thousand soldiers and horses from here, three thousand troops are really not of much use.
If I am deliberately sending someone to you, if I were the Black Dragon Guard, I would not have spent so much thought on it. If I were to send someone to the Marquis of Zhenbei, I would have to think twice about it," Ning Mingdian explained.
"That's good. Ning Zhongying practiced martial arts with me back then. It's a pity that he ran out of qualifications when he reached the fifth gravity at the age of seventeen. Otherwise, my sister Lingshan would marry him and we would be part of the same family. He wouldn't follow my stupid elder brother.
Go and die." Ning Zhuo said bluntly.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean..."
"I know, I only trust you here in Mingdian. If my father had listened to you, he wouldn't have been like this. We are all having a hard time now." Ning Zhuo said as he arrived at the place where Lin Haoming was imprisoned.
Of course, it cannot be said that they are being detained at the moment, but being guarded. Everyone can still move freely in the courtyard.
When Ning Zhuo came, he saw that Zhang Xin was already chatting with Zhang Songzhi, and at the same time, he also saw Ning Zhongying standing next to the two of them.
"Zhongying." Ning Zhuo immediately put on a smiling face and shouted.
"Fifth Young Master." After Lin Haoming saw him, he immediately came over and saluted with clasped fists.
"Ning Zhuo, you left earlier than me, why did you arrive later than me?" Zhang Xin seemed to ask with a smile on purpose.
"I am not going back to make preparations. Zhongying and I grew up together. Now that we have survived the disaster, I have already prepared wine and food in the house. I will not come back drunk this time." Ning Zhuo laughed and pulled Lin Haoming away.
Lin Haoming also immediately bowed his hands to several people and said goodbye to the others.
Lin Haoming followed Ning Zhuo to his residence here. As expected, wine and food were already being prepared here, and Ning Zhuo also invited some old acquaintances of Ning Zhongying. For a while, the master and servant seemed to become intimate.
At the same time, Wei Tong was also in the back hall of his house, and the core members of the Wei family were gathered here.
In addition to Wei Tong, these people also include Wang Shanxing, the right minister in the court. Although he is not a member of the Wei family, their children are relatives of each other and it has been impossible to separate them for a long time.
Wei Tong had many children, including two sons and three daughters, and more than a dozen of his concubine sons and daughters. However, the ones that really catch your eye are Wei Shun, the second legitimate son, and Wei Ning, the eldest son of a concubine. And this eldest son
A daughter of Ning Zhuo, who is also the wife of Ning Zhuo.
In addition to these two sons, the remaining two sons-in-law are Mai Shanning, who is now the so-called Minister of Household Affairs, and Wei Yi, who is the commander of the personal guards. This Wei Yi was originally just an adopted child of the Wei family.
However, he was very talented and became an innate master before he was thirty, so Wei Tong directly married one of his legitimate daughters to him, and he indeed lived up to his expectations and saved Wei Tong's life twice. It can be said that Wei Tong is
The most trusted person.
At this time, Wei Yi was holding several pieces of paper in his hand. Each piece of paper recorded some details in detail, including information about one of the thirty or so people captured previously.
"Those thirty or so people are all generals of various princes. Wei Yi has already listed the useful people. What do you think?" Wei Tong said silently.
"Master Hou, even if the others among these people have some status, their abilities may not be very good. The ones who are really capable are Zhang Songzhi and Ning Zhongying. Zhang Songzhi is Zhang Xin's man. It may be difficult for us to bribe this person.
, this Ning Zhongying can give it a try. Although Ning Zhuo only has 3,000 troops in his hand, as long as he makes a start, he is not afraid that those guys will not hand over their people. These guys will come to us, eat our food, drink our food, and are not obedient.
If we don't deal with them, how can we fight against Zhang Xiao's army? Zhang Xiao is not in a hurry to eat us, and even deliberately lets some people come to our place. He is just constantly digesting the territory of the princes, and just wants to wait for us to mess up.
, but this is also an opportunity. If we really devour all their troops, Zhang Xiao will lose his wife and troops." Wei Ning said sharply.
"Oh, do you think Ning Zhongying can give it a try?" Wei Tong motioned for him to continue.
"Ning Zhongying is clearly the one who was abandoned. Everyone knows that Ning Xie, the prince of Zhongyong, is a stupid person. That Ning Zhongying showed his ability before, but he obviously hid in the royal capital during those years. He almost lost his temper during his escape.
It was he and Zhang Songzhi who led everyone away. This time they deliberately showed off their abilities. I'm afraid they did it intentionally. He is a general of the Ning family. Uncle Zhongyong's mansion is gone. He won't take refuge with the enemy, so he wants to have a way out.
Ning Zhuo's thousands of people would be of little use as long as they took refuge with us, and the hatred between him and the Ning family didn't stop there. It was rumored that Ning Chuan planned to betroth one of his nieces to him in the early years, but found that his qualifications seemed to be exhausted, so he broke the promise.
He was also sent to the royal capital to accompany Ning Xie to die. Although this man and Ning Zhuo did grow up together, Ning Zhuo really had a good relationship with him and would not watch him die."
