Chapter 180: Watching from the Sidelines

Fei Zhong stood up, carried the wine jug and filled a glass to Gongsun Changming opposite, and did not sit down, but held the cup in both hands, and said respectfully: "Mr. Gongsun, in the past eight years, Fei Zhong has followed you and learned too many things.

Gongsun Changming picked up the wine glass, and he was also concerned: "Fei Zhong, you are well-read and wise, when you were in Lu Long, I was also the most optimistic about you, you said that you learned a lot from me, but why didn't you learn to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism?"

With a sigh, he drank the wine from his glass.

Fei Zhong smiled, also raised his neck to drink the wine dry, and paused the wine glass on the table: "Mr. Gongsun, dare to ask, who is loyal to the king?" Who does love the country? Now in the Tang Dynasty, there is still a king, but there is still a country?"

"The Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty is still in power." Liang Han on the side said angrily.

Fei Zhong shook his head: "The Tang Imperial Court's decrees are now at most in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places, and they can still have some effect, right?" Looking at the world, dozens of festivals and envoys, who puts the court in their eyes? Li Yan, the son of heaven, is quick to think but lazy to act, ambitious but talented, and the central secretary of the imperial court, but he is still fighting for power and profit, excluding dissidents, and chaos in the world is inevitable."

"People in my generation always have to work harder." Gongsun Changming knew that what Fei Zhong said was not wrong, and said gloomily.

"Sir, if you go and do that useless work for a dynasty that has no future and is decaying, why not follow the trend, assist the new monarch, and build an immortal deed?" Fei Zhong spread his hands and said: "Mr. joined Lulong back then, for the millions of people in Lulong, and for the Tang Dynasty frontier not to be disturbed by the Khitan, why can't he start and end well with Zhang Dashuai today?"

Gongsun Changming played with the wine glass, and only after a while did he say, "Zhang Zhongwu will be defeated."

"Defeat before a fight is not Mr. Gongsun's style." Fei Zhong smiled and said, "When Mr. Gongsun entered Lulong, was he completely sure to defeat the Khitan?"

"Yes!" To Fei Zhong's surprise, Gongsun Changming replied categorically, which made Fei Zhong a little stunned." It turns out that I will be wrong, Mr. Gongsun is not loyal to the court of Chang'an, but thinks that it is difficult for our marshal to succeed, so he left?"

Gongsun Changming smiled: "If you want to say that, it's okay."

Fei Zhong groaned: "It seems that Mr. Gongsun is also waiting for the price to sell, trying to find the person you think can succeed, but in my opinion, Li Anguo does not have this qualification, nor does he have this ability, sir, please forgive me for being blunt, Li Anguo is not half a star worse than my family."

"I know that." Gongsun Changming smiled and said: "As you said, the troubled times are coming, in the troubled times, there are many heroes, there will always be someone who stands out, or Zhang Zhongwu, or others, the world is unpredictable, let's wait and see!"

"With Mr.'s talent, if he won't stay in Chengde for a long time, I don't know where Mr. will go next? Changan? Luoyang?" Fei Zhong asked.

"Chang'an Luoyang won't go, and if you go, you won't be able to do anything, and you can stay in Chengde!" Gongsun Changming waved his hand: "I have an old relationship with Gong Li, and now that he is in danger, how can I abandon him?"

Looking at Gongsun Changming, Fei Zhong was a little surprised, he knew Gongsun Changming very well, if he wanted to say that Gongsun Changming was willing to help Li Anguo because of the danger of Chengde earlier, then now that the crisis has gone, this person has not left, naturally it is not because it is so simple to have an old relationship with Li Anguo, but I am afraid that he has other plans.

The information of a certain person flashed through his mind like lightning, could it be that Gongsun Changming took a fancy to the young man who had not yet reached the crown?

Fei Zhong shook his head vigorously, feeling that this idea was a bit ridiculous.

But having said that, he also knew that it was impossible to persuade Gongsun Changming to turn back. He is also a resolute person, since he does not speculate, if he talks more, he will fall behind. At that moment, he turned around and carried the pot and poured a glass of wine for Liang Han.

"In the past, in the battle of Liangzihu, if it weren't for Brother Liang's hard work, Fei would have already become a ghost under the knife of the Khitans, and he didn't dare to forget his life."

"In the past, you and I were comrades-in-arms, whether it was you or not, in that case, Liang would save me." Liang Han was very regretful, "If I had known what happened today, I wouldn't have saved you back then, and the series of strategies to fight Chengde should have come from you, the military commander and general, right?"

Fei Zhong laughed: "It's a pity that Fei Mou's plan that he thought was seamless was shattered by one accident after another, so that it became this not embarrassing and embarrassing situation today, which is really ashamed. Compared with Mr. Gongsun's plan to calculate the Khitan back then, it is really a heaven and an underground."

Gongsun Changming on the side shook his head and said: "The crime of non-conspiracy is also, the conspiracy is in the people, and the success is in the sky. Your plans, even at this point, are still amazing. I couldn't see through it at the time. Fei Zhong, this is the will of heaven, these days, I have been thinking about this matter, I really can't make any other explanation, I can only use the will of heaven to explain."

"I don't want Mr. Gongsun to believe in the will of God. But Fei Zhong didn't believe it." Fei Zhong said proudly: "This time Fei Zhong failed, but next time, I don't believe that Chengde still has such good luck. Since Mr. Gongsun is not leaving, Fei is looking forward to fighting with Mr.

Gongsun Changming smiled and said, "Then I will wait in Chengde."

Fei Zhong nodded and raised his glass: "Brother Liang, thank you for saving your life that day with this glass of wine, if you fall into my hands in the future, don't worry, Fei Zhong will repay the kindness of the day."

"You can't catch me." Liang Han laughed loudly and swallowed the wine in one gulp, "If you drink this wine, you and I will be enemies from now on."

"I was a friend in life and death before, but since then I am an enemy who does not share the sky, Brother Liang, why don't you conspire to get drunk today? When they sobered up, they went their separate ways?" Fei Zhong patted the table and said.

Liang Han's eyes narrowed, "Drinking, but I'm not afraid of you, a sick man. In that battle back then, although you were fished back by me, this body and bones also collapsed, right?"

"It's good to be alive." Fei Zhong smiled: "As long as the brain is still useful."

On this day, Fei Zhong really returned drunk.

The next day, Fei Zhong came to visit Cao Xin. Although the two had no friends of life and death, they went to Chang'an together to take the exam, but Cao Xin was a high school jinshi, but Fei Zhong returned with a feather.

After drinking a meal, Fei Zhong was drunk again and was carried back to the inn.

"Husband and grandson, although this Fei Zhong is an enemy, his person is really annoying." Liang Han looked at Gongsun Changming, who was painting, and said.

Gongsun Changming's subordinates didn't stop, and in a moment, several ink bamboos jumped on the paper. Throwing away the pen, Gongsun Changming said: "Fei Zhongnai is a first-class smart person in the world, and he can be regarded as a talent in the world, but unfortunately, he has gone the wrong way. His every move contains deep meaning, and he will never be without purpose, do you think that this time his resignation from friends is simply a final break with his friends?"

"What else does it mean?" Liang Han spreads his hands.

"I don't want to visit you, whether it's seeing Cao Xin and others, it's just a pretense, his real purpose is to see Suning. But Li Che died in this battle, Suning didn't share the sky with them, so he came to the door like this, it was too abrupt, so he had to lay out something in front, and now we people are all courteous to him, and when he goes to Suning Gate again, Suning will not turn him away even if he hates it in his heart." Gongsun Changming said coldly.

"He wants to sow discord?" Liang Han asked in surprise.

"Why not sow discord?" Gongsun Changming smiled, "Suning already has a knot in his heart, and with Fei Zhong's ability, I'm afraid that it won't take much to make Suning's doubts even more suspicious. Fei Zhong knows very well in his heart that in the current situation, as long as Chengde recovers, whether it is Henghai or Zhenwu, he will not be able to hold Chengde back, unless Chengde is not appeased and chaotic internally. He's buying time for Zhang Zhongwu to fight Gao Biao to the death!"

"Husband and grandson, since you understand everything, why don't you explain it to Gong Li, such a thing naturally has to be prevented before it happens, if something really happens, you will regret it at that time. Besides, Fei Zhong really didn't need to provoke that incident, wasn't that the one who did it?" Liang Handao.

"What did he do? Is there any evidence? I can't come up with evidence, and it's useless." Gongsun Changming sneered: "Gong Li thinks differently from us, he has to think more, and now he wants him to get rid of the Su family?" It's unreasonable. This will also chill those old brothers who have followed Li Gong for many years. So even if Li Gong understands it in his heart, this thing can't be done."

Liang Han glared: "In this way, can you only watch this pustule grow bigger and bigger, and finally make a big mess with a bang?"

"Since it's a pustule, there will always be a day when it will break." Gongsun Changming said: "Since you can't take the initiative to break it, you can only wait for him to ripen. Li Ze's kid has already fallen, let's watch. Li Gong can't take the initiative, but if Suning jumps out by himself, then there is nothing to say, even those old brothers in the past can't say anything."

"It's really unsettling." Liang Han said with melancholy.

"The world is helpless, and we don't just do what we want." Gongsun Changming didn't care." Sometimes I know that I have to go on a detour, and that's the reason. But sometimes it seems like a detour, but at the end of the day, you realize that it's actually faster to walk this way."

Liang Han nodded: "I understand what you mean, husband and grandson, if Li Gong disposes of Suning now, it looks like opening the way for Li Ze, which will make the old subordinates chill back then, maybe before Lu Long calls, Cheng Dexian himself will be scattered, only by letting Suning jump out by himself, do his own evil, and not live, can there be a reason to be righteous and bright."

"It can also be said that it gave Suning another chance, it depends on how Suning does it." Gongsun Changming took his own private seal, sighed, and covered it heavily on the ink bamboo: "Fei Zhong brought us a gift when he came, and when he left, you can give him this ink bamboo as a return gift."
