After setting off from Liangzhou, it took Wang Zhongsi half a month to arrive at Chencang County in Fufeng County, Qizhou. The result of returning to Beijing was expected before he was injured and before he went to the book, and the so-called position of the prince and young master completely ruined his last extravagant hope. He has been in the army for 20 years, and has been fighting in the south and north for more than 20 years, successively controlling Hedong and Longyou, Hexi, and has never been defeated. Although he once grew up in the deep palace, he did not dare to regard himself as the righteous son of heaven, and always remembered his duty as a courtier, but he did not change, but the son of heaven who single-handedly created the prosperous era of Kaiyuan has changed.

I think that when Yao Song was there, outspoken people were full of government and opposition, and the Son of Heaven did not pursue side work and did not blindly expand the territory. But over the years, there have been more and more soldiers and horses in the border towns who specialize in conquest, and there have been more and more meaningless battles, and the money spent on horses, clothing, and military salaries every year is as high as tens of millions, and the promotion rewards after the victory are countless. But under such a so-called victory, how many people saw the coach take the lead, and how many people saw the tired and dry bones on the battlefield? But he has tried his best to persuade in his own way, but in exchange for the end of being shelved!

Wang Zhongsi set off after receiving the order to announce the promotion of the reward, but his injury was not very good, and on the way back, he refused to take the car, and rode a horse all the way, and after arriving at Chencang, the injury suddenly recurred, and he had to stay in the post house for two days. Accompanying him back to Beijing were all the generals he had raised for many years, and although the soldiers of Helong had a lot of hopes to follow him, they were all rejected by him. At this moment, several confidants took turns to persuade him not to rush back, and to take care of the injured general first, but he refused.

"It's just a flesh wound, where it's so delicate!"

"Dashuai!" The eldest general couldn't help it, so he simply knelt down on one knee and pleaded bitterly, "Although the handsome man is injured, but because he was delayed before, the doctor said that it has penetrated deep into the texture and reached the heart, if you are reckless, I am afraid that there will be unpredictable dangers!" Even if the handsome man doesn't think about himself, he should think about the lady in Chang'an City and the little lady Xiaolangjun! ”

"Say no more!"

Wang Zhongsi shouted to stop the person, but immediately after that, he only felt a dizziness in his head. He knew that he was in a hurry, and the injury recurred, but he also understood that since the Son of Heaven had relieved himself of his post as the envoy of Hexi Longyou, he was already suspicious, and if he was grinding on the road, he was afraid that the time would deepen the Son of Heaven's bad feelings towards him. However, he could not say these words to anyone, but only in his heart.

At this moment, he tried to stand up, but in the end he was unsteady and sat down. Just when several generals were shocked and stepped forward to support them, and someone was about to go out to call a doctor, the curtain was lifted, and a post soldier broke in.

"Who are you to dare to trespass into the marshal's room!"

Seeing that several generals were about to face a great enemy, the comer immediately bowed his head and saluted: "The handsome forgiveness, it was the post chief who heard that the handsome man was unwell, and there must be manpower here, so he asked me to help." ”

The one who just spoke immediately shouted, "You don't need you here!" Come on! ”

Although Wang Zhongsi is quite weak, his hearing is still very sharp. The soldier who suddenly broke in kept his head down, but he had vaguely heard the voice, but he couldn't remember it for a while. So, he called out, "Okay, since the post chief asked him to come, let me stay." You all go out and save me my trouble! ”

Several generals still wanted to persuade again, but seeing that Wang Zhongsi was obviously annoyed, and the post soldier looked cowering and very timid, several people exchanged glances suspiciously, and finally had no choice but to retreat. As soon as the people left, Wang Zhongsi looked at the post soldier who was standing still, and suddenly said lightly: "It's all here, what are you doing hiding your head and showing your tail, come forward and talk!" ”

The person who came really stepped forward, and then raised his head and shook it respectfully to the ground: "Wang Dashuai, I really have no other way, so I can only change my face and meet each other." ”

At this moment, Wang Zhongsi finally recognized the other party, and he was taken aback. When he was about to open his mouth to question, thinking that the generals were still outside, he could only shout in a low voice: "Du Youlin, you are now a person with an official position, how can you go out of Beijing and come to Chen Cang to see me so recklessly?" If someone finds out, you will have to implicate your father, why are you so ignorant! ”

"But if I don't come, how will Wang Dashuai know that others have set a trap waiting for you to drill!" Du Youlin saw that Wang Zhongsi only frowned, and then smiled calmly, and without waiting for the other party to continue talking, he took another small step forward, and his head was only less than half a foot away from Wang Zhongsi, "Wang Dashuai knows, Li Linfu instructed your subordinates in Hedong to report in writing, saying that you once grew up in the palace with His Royal Highness the Prince, so you once told him that you are willing to respect the Prince!" ”

Wang Zhongji was suddenly furious: "How can this be reasonable, how can I ......?"

However, thinking of the Flying Arrow Transmission that had relieved him of a predicament, he couldn't help but gasp again. At that time, the current crown prince Li Heng was only a loyal king, and no one would think that he would be able to enter the East Palace, but now the emperor was killed because of this, if anyone framed him for colluding with Li Heng, if the Son of Heaven reminded him of the old things, then he would not be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River! He has always been a military general who is dedicated to fighting, and he has nothing to do with Li Linfu, but he didn't expect that when he fell into Pingyang, he would be attacked by such a black hand again!

It was easy to calm down, Wang Zhongji exhaled lightly, looked at Du Youlin and said: "Your grandfather and I have been friends for many years, and your brother once learned martial arts from me, but after all, you were still young back then, and you and I have only met a few times, and now you have taken such a risk to come to see me, I am very grateful." I will definitely deal with it carefully, don't delay, go back quickly! ”

Du Youlin didn't say yes, he didn't move at all, and after a moment of silence, he asked bluntly: "How is Wang Dashuai going to deal with it?" ”

Wang Zhongsi just wanted to send Du Youlin away, but he didn't expect him to be so unrelenting, and he was choked at the moment. Such sudden bad news, such a sinister situation, he is another temperance envoy who has stepped down, how can he deal with it? He closed his eyes and sighed, then lowered his head, buried his head in his hands, and said in a low voice: "I should try to defend myself for the matter of eating the king's fortune and loyalty, but if Your Majesty really refuses to believe it, it will be just death." ”

"One death? But has Wang Dashuai ever thought about it, one is prosperous, and one is lost, you are not alone, you still have a wife and children in Chang'an, if you are charged with such a crime, what will they do? What's more, the marshal has been loyal and brave for many years, is he willing to bear such a false stigma? ”

Wang Zhongsi suddenly looked up, and saw that Du Youlin was actually looking at him without dodging, his eyes were shining, he couldn't help but think of his eldest son Wang Zhou, who he had high hopes for, and couldn't help but be in a trance. After a moment's pause, he smiled bitterly and said, "Then what do you think I should do?" ”

After all, Du Youlin is the youngest son of the Du family, so Wang Zhonghe's words were just casually said, but what he didn't expect was that Du Youlin really opened his mouth and came up with a countermeasure: "It shouldn't have happened at the moment, so there is still time to prepare." First, the marshal refused to admit it, you must know whether the marshal and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have a past, this is a document, if there is no evidence, this is a frame! Yushitai is not Li Linfu's world alone, Dashuai can write a blood letter to me now, you might as well say it miserably. You must know that whether it is Yang Zhao or Luo Xizao, it is not a good thing, and if there is no news at that time, this blood letter can be used as evidence of the emperor's grievances. ”

Seeing that Wang Zhongsi was shocked first, and then nodded with some difficulty, Du Youlin continued: "Second, I remember that when Dashuai returned to Beijing at the beginning of the year, he brought the current Hexi Jiedu envoy Ge Shuhan. His Majesty seems to appreciate him, and this time he is the first to attack the Stone Castle City, it is said that in the past few days, His Majesty has rewarded the left and right many times, saying that it is the warriors of the Geshu tribe, and it is indeed worthy of its reputation. I want to ask Dashuai, if he knew that Dashuai's life was in danger, would he abandon Dashuai, or would he intercede for Dashuai? ”

Faced with such a sharp question, Wang Zhongsi couldn't help but look at the weak-crowned young man in front of him with a different gaze again, and finally smiled: "Although I, Wang Zhongsi, am not better at knowing people than your grandfather, I am by no means a person without vision. Ge Shuhan is certainly irritable and irritable, and sometimes he does not tolerate others, but he knows how to repay his kindness. He was picked up by Wang Qi, but the person who really gave him the opportunity to take charge of himself and really made him shine was my Wang Zhonghei. This time, I recommended him and An Sishun to Jiedu Hexi and Longyou respectively, and when he left, he also sent thirty miles out of the city gate. If he abandons me because I'm in a big case, I'm blind! ”

"Good! Then I will rush to Liangzhou to see him in person, and ask Wang Dashuai to give me the blood book. If this matter cannot be prepared in advance, it will be irreparable after the incident! ”

"You ......"

When Wang Zhongsi thought that Du Youlin left Chang'an to see him, but he had to go to Liangzhou to see Ge Shuhan in person, his heart was full of mixed feelings. He really wanted to persuade the other party not to do this, and the matter could also be handed over to his henchmen, otherwise if it was discovered, there would be endless troubles, but thinking of the severity of the joints, I am afraid that only Du Youlin can understand it clearly, and Ge Shuhan will not trust a general. After struggling for a long time, he finally nodded silently. When he bit his finger and wrote a line of clear handwriting on the white silk, he only felt a sense of sadness.

When Du Youlin quietly left the post house and joined up with the cadres and a few servants whose loyalty was unquestionable, he ordered to set off for Liangzhou immediately. In the face of such an order, the cadre Deng Shi thought of the danger when Du Shiyi rushed thousands of miles to Yuhuaguan, and couldn't help but persuade him, but he was pushed back by Du Youlin.

"You guys go, even if you can get Wang Dashuai's blood book, will Ge Shuhan believe it lightly?"

Seeing that the cadres and the others were speechless for a moment, Du Youlin rubbed his temples and said in a low voice: "What's more, maybe Wang Dashuai's today is Grandpa's tomorrow." Not to mention that Grandpa and Auntie instructed me before leaving, even from my own heart, I can't stand idly by in this matter! Even if there are some adventures, I can't take care of them, and Jinxi will definitely try his best to cover up the affairs of the family! ”
