At least in the eyes of ordinary people, the first day of Liang Gong's return to the capital is over. There is not much to say other than the excessive euphoria of the people in Tokyo.

Even Shen Zhezi, who was in the core of the Dark Tide Vortex, didn't notice any obvious abnormality, he was indeed tired, and he had already fallen asleep early to rest.

The next day, Shen Zhezi got up early in the morning according to his usual routine. When he finished washing up and was ready for breakfast, some of the attachés were still hungovers, and some had missed the night. This is not a negligence in their duties, and their return to the capital this time is also one of the tasks of communicating with the current flow in the capital.

Therefore, when Shen Zhezi was dining, only Li Chong and a few other people accompanied him at the banquet, and by the way, he exchanged what he had learned yesterday, and the atmosphere was also brisk for a while.

Halfway through the meal, the door suddenly came to report, saying that it was Huan Wen, the general of the Northern Army, who asked to see him. After Shen Zhezi heard this, his hand holding the dishes suddenly paused, and then looked at Li Chong.

Li Chong's face also changed slightly, most of the governors returned to the capital, and all the starting and lodging rules had regulations, and even which dormitory guards were responsible for security, all of them were clearly marked. There was no Northern Army among them, so how could such a matter of safety be neglected, Li Cheng immediately left the table and ordered his soldiers to enter and wait, while he left quickly and went to the person in charge of the reception to ask for negotiations.

Shen Zhezi was silent for a moment in the banquet, sorting out the things from yesterday to the present, and then asked people to invite Huan Wen in.

After a short time, Huan Wen, who was neatly dressed and had no shortage of old posture, walked into the room, and when he saw Shen Zhezi sitting in the seat, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, but he still stepped forward to see with a military salute: "The last general will see the Metropolitan Governor." ”

"Yesterday, I still regretted a long absence, and I didn't want to see Brother Yuanzi today. Brother Yuanzi doesn't have to be polite, please come to the table. ”

Shen Zhezi showed a few smiles on his face, and raised his hand to point to an empty seat not far from him.

"The ministry of the last general is really not to be neglected. On the order of the leading army, he came to wait under the corridor of the Metropolitan Governor, and took the liberty of entering the meeting, which was already a harassment, and he dared to disturb the elegance again. Later, the Metropolitan Governor entered the Tongyuan to meet him, and the last general held Ge to protect the subordinates, entered the house for a while, and asked the Metropolitan Governor to dine calmly again. ”

After finishing speaking, Huan Wen took a small step back, stood on his side, and waited for Shen Zhezi to nod before withdrawing again.

When this kind of change happened, Shen Zhezi had no intention of eating, so he asked people to withdraw the meal, and then sat on the table and drank tea and waited.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Li Chongcai, who had left the table before, returned, followed by two people, a middle-aged man with a white face and a beard who was responsible for arranging his daily life and behavior in the capital, and the other was a military general, who was Zhao Yin, who was the candidate of the Northern Army at the time, that is, the leader of Huan Wen's mouth.

After the confessor entered, he made a little statement and explained, saying that he did not expect that Liang Gong's return to the capital would cause such a big scene, which greatly increased the pressure on the left defense, so Zhao Yin, the middle candidate of the Northern Army, took the initiative to ask Ying to transfer the guards of the headquarters to come to take charge of the escort work, because Liang Gong had already rested, so there was no advance notice.

That Zhao Yin was also standing cramped in the hall at this time, and when Shen Zhezi looked at him, he couldn't help but breathe a little flustered, and even when he saw the ceremony, he was a little at a loss, what kind of etiquette should he meet.

When Shen Zhezi saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh. Although he has little contact with this Zhao Yin, he has not seen it before. The last contact was when Yu Liang was coerced to flee Jiankang during the Suzu Rebellion in the early years, and it was also the time when Yu Liang died.

Although Zhao Yin was not a peerless general at that time, he also had the courage to be a general. But now it seems that this is a submissive and cautious old man, so that the armor on his body looks a little incongruous, and he does not have the courage that he should have as a senior general of the guard.

The position and environment are so devastating to people, as far as that!

"There is Lao Zhaohou, in fact, I returned to the capital this time, originally to restore my life, but I am really ashamed to disturb all my colleagues in the capital because of this."

Shen Zhezi stood up from the seat, withdrew the chairman, and then invited Zhao Yin to take a seat. Although the current situation is very different, Zhao Yin is still the top general of the Su Guard after all, and it would be too rude for Shen Zhezi to sit in the seat.

"Liang Gong's words are serious, he is also used by the king of armor, Liang Gong has repeatedly made great achievements in the north, like us and other guards, but the court is powerful, and it is a blessing to be able to guard Liang Gong'an."

When Zhao Yin said these words, he had frequently given up his hands, and his posture was extremely low.

In the next few words of conversation, Shen Zhezi also looked at Zhao Yin's expression carefully, and found that he really didn't seem to know how sensitive and dangerous the situation he had been involved in, and even hinted in his words, hoping to send his own children to serve in Huainan.

Is this a form of waste utilization?

Even if Shen Zhezi had anything to say, he wouldn't want to talk to Zhao Yin, a fool. And take a step back, even if Zhao Yin is so dull that he hasn't figured out how wonderful his situation is, if he can be involved, it is not worth Shen Zhezi to remind him again.

The time soon arrived in the morning, and it was time for Shen Zhezi to travel. He didn't have any special mission today, just to go to Tongyuan to meet the emperor.

After the emperor took office, Tongyuan was also rebuilt as a separate palace, which was generally used as a less official occasion such as summoning clan relatives and virtuous officials. This was a meeting before the official Hajj, and it was also requested by the emperor on his own initiative. Shen Zhezi also had no shortage of expectations for this, and he also wanted to see what kind of changes the emperor had brought about by the world after he really took over the entire empire.

It's just that this relatively relaxed private meeting was originally clouded by the unexpected appearance of the Northern Army, which made Shen Zhezi accumulate a lot of anger in his heart.

When Shen Zhezi left, the swordsmen of the attaché class all lined up to escort him. Zhao Yin and other guards couldn't help but sigh again and again after seeing the unstoppable momentum of these Huainan elites. Huan Wen's face showed a somewhat complicated expression, but he didn't know if he regretted his previous decision.

The Tongyuan is not far from the Zhoushan Villa, bypassing the two Wang Park forests, and then crossing the covered bridge on the Qingxi on the way, and then arriving at the periphery of the Tongyuan.

Zhao Yin stopped, led the crowd to the side of the road, waved his hand to Shen Zhezi and smiled: "I will lead Liang Gong here, and when Liang Gong leaves the garden later, someone can come to sue him, and I will personally send Liang Gong back to his lodging." ”

Where is the Su Wei who should be a Su Wei general, he clearly put himself in the position of the general of the Shen family's army, and even Huan Wen and other subordinate generals showed a little embarrassment on their faces, and they were deeply ashamed that they had such a big loss of position.

"Zhao Hou personally sent me here, I have already been flattered, how dare I bother again. The performance is imminent, I don't dare to thank you for a long time, and when I have time to come, I will definitely come to the house to visit and thank you. ”

Shen Zhezi also raised his hand and clenched his fists, and said to Zhao Yin, and then looked at Yu Huanwen, and his smile became even kinder: "Brother Yuanzi, we'll see you later." ”

Huan Wen hurriedly responded with a fist, but his heartstrings trembled, because the smile looked kind, but it was all floating on the surface, as if it was a mask.

It wasn't until Shen Zhezi and his sword entourage entered Tongyuan that he walked to Zhao Yin, who was full of smiles, and whispered: "General, when Duke Liang enters the capital, Su Wei He has already set a rule. It's a bit ...... to call my department suddenly."

"It turns out that Yuanzi you are also aware of it, alas, I know that you have an old friendship with Liang Gongduo, and you are a loyal martyr, so there is no need to hide some things from you. Now there is a lot of division between inside and outside, and the name of our guard is in Rong, but it is unpredictable. Rong has been doing for many years, and I advise you to be less involved in disputes and more achievements, which is the foundation of our martial artists. I also took a lot of effort to get this opportunity to get close to Liang Gong, you may as well show your abilities, if you can get Liang Gong's attention, you can jump out of the Gyeonggi quagmire......"

Zhao Yin said with a rather calculated look, and his eyebrows also revealed a bit of loneliness that had been wasted for many years.

Really!

Huan Wen had actually noticed that something was wrong, and he had taken the first step to visit Liang Gong, hoping to learn more from Liang Gong's attitude towards him, but he really didn't get much. Now when he heard Zhao Yin's sighing tone, he seemed to be disheartened and wanted to use Liang Gong to stay away from the whirlpool of Jiangdong's power struggle, but he didn't realize that he had been counted in the whirlpool.

In this subtle situation at the moment, in fact, Huan Wen only faintly noticed that something was wrong, and there seemed to be some undercurrent brewing. But what is wrong and what kind of changes will be caused, with his current position and experience, it is difficult to guess clearly.

He was just cautious, thinking about whether he might be involved. There is no doubt that Liang Gong knows much more than him what is buried in this undercurrent, especially the warm and unfamiliar smile just now, which seems to be hinting at something to him.

After all, I'm still smart and shallow! This feeling of being in it, but not knowing what was going to happen, was a kind of torture for Huan Wen. And this also inspired him to have a strong desire to make a difference deep in his heart!

At this moment, a series of chaotic noises suddenly erupted in the garden, and the sound of soldiers running, shouting, and even the sound of gold and iron resonating!

"What happened?"

Hearing the strange noise, Zhao Yin, who was just about to leave, had a panicked face, and the other soldiers of the Northern Army were also panicked.

Huan Wen's hands and feet were also cold at this time, and his legs were as heavy as lead, Mu Ran rushed towards Tongyuan with his comrades in the Northern Army, and he kept shouting frantically in his heart: What happened!

The soldiers of the Northern Army flocked into Tongyuan, and then saw a team of strong soldiers rushing out of the garden, which was the sword guards who had previously surrounded Liang Gong and entered Tongyuan.

And Liang Gong Shen Weizhou, surrounded by these people, his handsome face no longer has a trace of elegance, his face is pale, his eyes are almost about to breathe fire, and he is obviously angry to the extreme!

Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Northern Army were even more frightened for a while, and Zhao Yin, as the main general, was even more nervous and trembling, cold sweat gushed out under the armor, and the whole person was soaked with water.

At this time, a group of guards also poured out of the rear, each holding swords and guns, faintly and the soldiers of the Northern Army who poured into Tongyuan after hearing the news, sandwiched Liang Gong Shen Weizhou and his guards.

No matter who you are, after seeing this scene, as long as you have a little understanding of the situation, you will definitely be shocked and dumbfounded: in this Tianzi Near Garden, two teams of guards surrounded a powerful foreign vassal and his guards with heavy troops!

"Discard, discard! Discard it now! ”

Huan Wen finally regained some sanity at this time, and soon discovered the mystery in it, the current situation seems to be vicious and abnormal, but in fact, whether it is Liang Gong's guards and those guards who chased him out, they are all holding wooden ritual weapons, and the only ones who really hold the murderers are these soldiers of the Northern Army who rushed in after hearing the news!

At this moment, everyone was at a loss, and when they heard a certain accurate instruction, they all subconsciously obeyed, and hurriedly threw the swords in their hands to the ground, even including the guards holding wooden ritual weapons on the other side.

The crowd was divided into three waves to confront each other, and the atmosphere in the garden was so heavy that it seemed to be a thousand pounds for a while, and no one knew what to do next.

When everyone was stunned, Liang Gong Shen Weizhou lined up the sword armor soldiers around him, slowly walked to the guards who were chasing after him, and then made an even more jaw-dropping move: Liang Gong, who was known for his handsomeness, raised his leg and kicked a ceremonial officer standing among the guards to the ground.

"Wang Shi's soldiers have repeatedly fought in Jiangbei, struck Hu Shun, spilled righteous blood, and helped the revival of Jinzuo with their lives, is it for the sake of the disobedient thieves?"

Shen Zhezi kicked over the ceremonial official, still angry, and his tone was even more angry to the extreme.
