This is an era where officials are the standard. As long as ordinary people have the conditions, they will focus on becoming officials through the imperial examination.
And official position is even more attractive to bandits like Huang Tianyan. After all, no one wants to live in fear all their lives.
Huang Tianyan smiled and said, "You have a rest, I'll go discuss it with the other head of the castle!"
Qin Hao originally wanted to get up and send him away, but his injury was not fully healed yet, so it was naturally difficult to move at this moment.
So he could only solemnly say again: "Qin Hao thanks Brother Huang for saving his life!"
Huang Tianyan waved his hand, said "nothing", then turned and walked out the door.
Along the way, Huang Tianyan walked quickly and quickly arrived at Zhang Ziming's residence.
Just as Qin Hao stayed with Huang Tianyan, Zhu Gui himself also stayed with Zhang Ziming.
It can be said that because of the two new arrivals in Wujiabao, Huang and Zhang, who were originally as close as brothers, are now "moving away from each other".
Arriving outside Zhang Ziming's residence, there was also a woman dedicated to serving him.
"Is the person named Zhu here?" Huang Tianyan asked.
Since Zhu Gui arrived at Wujiabao, he has hardly been idle. He has to take people out of the fort every day, and he doesn't know what he is looking for.
"Go back to the Second Master, he's out!"
Huang Tianyan then asked the bankrupt: "Is Lao Zhang here?"
The woman replied: "I just came back from outside!"
"Second Master, the eldest master has not been out of the fort to look for food in recent days. You rarely go out to fish. The fort is using up the food reserves!"
The woman's complaints were particularly disturbing to Huang Tianyan's ears.
So he ignored it at all and walked straight into the yard.
"Lao Zhang...brother?"
Before he could reach the door of the main room, Zhang Ziming appeared inside.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Ziming asked.
"If nothing happens, can't I come?" Huang Tianyan asked.
Zhang Ziming immediately turned around and entered the house, followed by Huang Tianyan.
He found a chair and sat down at random. Huang Tianyan got straight to the point and said, "Brother, it's rare that there are no outsiders here!"
"Who is the outsider?"
"The one named Zhu!"
Zhang Ziming said with a serious face: "Isn't there an outsider over there?"
"Don't talk nonsense with me, just talk about it if you have something to say!"
Huang Tianyan smiled and then said: "Brother, the man I rescued is already awake!"
These words aroused Zhang Ziming's interest, but he calmly asked: "What then?"
Huang Tianyan replied: "I told you before that this person is a minor official in Prince Yong's Mansion, so I just asked him about the king's situation!"
"You don't know how powerful Prince Yong's Mansion is now. Not only do they have Yuanyang City to rely on, but they also occupy several nearby cities..."
Next, Huang Tianyan described in detail what he knew about the situation, and the more he went on, the more excited he became.
After hearing what he said, Zhang Ziming did not show any joy, but instead frowned deeply.
Seeing this situation, Huang Tianyan stood up and said: "Brother, compared to that kind of King Ming, the one who surrenders to King Yong is the brighter way. Are you really willing to become a rebel?"
"Now that the imperial court is still here, following a grass-headed king like Prince Ming will not end well!"
To be honest, in addition to considering his personal future, Huang Tianyan is also really thinking about Zhang Ziming.
"Brother, you have read a book and are more knowledgeable and understand the truth than me. Don't you understand this?"
"Of course I understand these principles..."
Zhang Ziming's face was gloomy, and he stared at Huang Tianyan and said: "But everyone has his own ambitions... If you want to vote for King Yong, you think that is a clear path, but for me it may not be!"
"Why?"
At that time, he wanted to be a good minister of the Jin Dynasty, cultivate his moral integrity, regulate his family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world. However, the dirty world and the rotten government caused his family to be destroyed.
From that moment on, Zhang Ziming was at odds with the government and the imperial court.
There was no chance before, so he could only hide his name. Now that the world has collapsed and heroes are doing justice, this is the opportunity he has been waiting for for a long time.
Although as Huang Tianyan said, King Ming was just a grass-headed king, to Zhang Ziming, he was a like-minded person.
Faced with Huang Tianyan's question, Zhang Ziming did not answer directly.
"We are not from the same place, so don't force it!"
"No need to discuss?"
"No negotiation!"
"There are so many brothers in the castle, do you want them to die with you? I won't agree!" Huang Tianyan's eyes were blazing.
At this moment, Huang Tianyan exuded the aura of the leader of a village.
He was once the bandit leader who led the village. He was not a good person. Just because he was willing to be subordinate to others before did not mean that he had lost his temper.
"Second Master, what are you talking about? Doesn't Master Zhang think about the brothers?"
The person speaking outside was none other than Zhu Gui, who was under Zhu Jinzhang.
I saw him slowly walking into the house, and then said: "Could it be that some people want to seize power, using the safety of our brothers as an excuse?"
These words stung Huang Tianyan's heart and added fuel to the fire between the two brothers.
Huang Tianyan had brought a knife with him. At this moment, he took out the knife from its sheath, turned around and walked towards Zhu Gui.
"You bastard, if I hadn't caused the trouble, how would my two brothers be here?"
Seeing Huang Tianyan "killing" him, Zhu Gui was not a fool, so he turned around and ran away.
"Boy, don't do this!" Zhang Ziming immediately stood up and chased him out of the room.
At this time, Huang Tianyan was already in a state of rage, so he had to kill Zhu Gui to get what he wanted.
Therefore, no matter how fast Zhu Gui fled, Huang Tianyan would chase him as fast as possible, followed by Zhang Ziming who was running quickly behind him.
The Wujia Fort itself is not big, and the commotion of the three of them immediately attracted a large crowd of people to watch. After all, life in the fort rarely causes disturbances.
The shouting and cursing continued, and when everyone heard the reason clearly, no one was interested in watching the fun.
Survival is the top priority right now, and the two heads are the core. If there is a conflict between the two of them, it is a big deal.
"First boss, second boss...if you have something to say, please tell me!"
"We can't hurt the harmony between brothers!"
When everyone tried to persuade him, Huang Tianyan was already very close to Zhu Gui, and the knife he brandished could almost kill someone.
"Boy, stop!"
After chasing Huang Tianyan, seeing that his sword was about to hit Zhu Gui's back, Zhang Ziming flew out and kicked Huang Tianyan to the ground.
Sitting on the ground, Huang Tianyan's expression was full of disbelief.
The feelings we have shared through life and death in the past six months are not as good as those of an outsider?
Not only Huang Tianyan, but also the young men in the castle who were observing around him were all dumbfounded.
At this moment, Zhu Gui had already run far away, while Zhang Ziming stood there with a complicated look in his eyes.
"Brother, for the sake of an outsider, you don't even want to be a brother?" Huang Tianyan smiled bitterly.
In fact, Zhang Ziming was also very sad at the moment, but he also knew that if he continued to break up, he would suffer chaos.
Just listen to Zhang Ziming sigh: "We have different ways, so we don't want to work together!"
"If you want to submit to King Yong, I won't stop you, but don't try to force me!"
When Zhang Ziming said this in front of so many people at this time, Huang Tianyan knew that it was useless no matter how much he said.
Just listen to Zhang Ziming continue to say: "Zhu Gui has sent people back to Liaoping to report the news. In two days... King Ming's troops will arrive. You can take care of yourself!"
These words shocked Huang Tianyan's heart. It turned out that the matter was beyond his control.
"In other words, if I don't leave now, I won't be able to leave in the future!" Huang Tianyan said solemnly.
Zhang Ziming turned around and said coldly: "That's right!"
The scene was completely silent, and everyone around them could hear their conversation.
Huang Tianyan stood up from the ground, stared at Zhang Ziming, and then said: "Okay... I'm leaving!"
After saying this, Huang Tianyan turned around and scanned the faces of the onlookers.
"Brothers, if you are willing to submit to King Yong with me, please come forward!"
He, Huang Tianyan, was able to secure his position as second-in-command because he had a group of good brothers. Naturally, he did not want to see these people and follow Zhang Ziming to seek death.
