win the hairpin

Chapter 167

Zhang Xutang was lying on the bed when he heard the bell.

He grew up in the capital, and he was used to hearing this bell, and he was tired of hearing it. When the bell rang, he would always connect with the aftertaste of the bell in his mind, which fit perfectly and could never be wrong.

He likes to be accompanied at night, but as long as the Xiangguo Temple bell rings, he doesn't need to be accompanied. The bell can cleanse away all sneaky things and make him feel at ease.

However, today's bell made him very unhappy.

The aftertaste of the bell fell in his mind, but did not fall in his ears, and then the sound of drumming came heavily.

The sound of the drums was not as overwhelming as the heavy bells, but it was also deafening, powerful, and resounded through the night.

He wanted to move and cover his ears, but he couldn't move, his heart ached with pain, and his body seemed to be separated from his soul, living their own lives and refusing to obey.

The imperial doctor said that he was seriously injured and almost died. He survived the high fever, and then he had to recuperate slowly.

Everyone in Kyoto thought that he was accidentally injured by a bird hunter in Xiangguo Temple. Who could have imagined that he was like a dragon, and he had already returned from the outside with a storm.

It's just that Song Huiyue, a big villain, refused to be arrested without a fight, and let him work for nothing. There is also King Jin, a centipede who is dead but not stiff, and is still making trouble in Zezhou. Dengwen Drum.

Thinking of Dengwengu, he suddenly froze, holding the corner of the quilt tightly with his hands, and after a cup of tea, he suddenly came back to his senses and said loudly: "Let the boss come!"

The servants hurried to invite Zhang Xuling, and Zhang Xuling also heard the sound of the drum. The person who went out to check at home told him on the way that someone was beating the Dengwen drum, and the drummer had already opened the door and let the person in.

Such a big movement in Zezhou has been concealed, and people are being arrested along the way. How did the people who complained get in here!

Zhang Xuling walked with the wind on his feet, walked all the way to Zhang Xutang's room, and said, "Second brother, King Jin's people have entered the capital, and they are beating the Dengwen drum."

"I already guessed it," Zhang Xutang said in a dull voice, "Where is Dad?"

"Father stayed in Da Nei Du Tang last night, so I must have heard it too," Zhang Xuling said anxiously, "What should we do now, so many people have died in Zezhou, and none of them can escape."

Compared with the factory explosion, today is more concerned about concealing the report.

With Empress Dowager Pei listening to the government behind the curtain, today's government has already cared about the government to the point of obsession.

Zhang Xutang had no feelings for the officials in the Zezhou officialdom, and said indifferently: "As long as Li Lin is kept, it doesn't matter."

Zhang Xuling has no idea. Since the prime minister's father is not around, he will listen to Zhang Xutang, but Zhang Xutang is still thinking: "I think King Jin still has a backhand. He will not only overthrow the officialdom in Zezhou, but I am afraid he will also overthrow the officialdom in Zezhou." I want to pull Li Lin off the horse too."

"then what should we do?"

"let me see."

Zhang Xutang's body is disobedient, but his mind is still so bright, the more he is like this, the more he will make trouble, one bad idea after another, if the bad idea has shape, it must be that his hair has turned into a poisonous snake, Sticking out his tongue at Zhang Xuling.

"Come here, I'll tell you."

Zhang Xuling sent his ear to Zhang Xutang's ear, thinking that Zhang Xutang had something to say to Li Lin, but no, every word of Zhang Xutang had nothing to do with Li Lin, and he didn't even have a long speech, but Zhang Xuling finally heard, His eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't believe that this was his younger brother.

His sympathy and affection for his younger brother were wiped out at this moment, and his younger brother had become a ghost from hell, and he was only left with fear.

The evil spirit raised his head: "Do you understand?"

"understood."

"Then go to Dutang and tell Dad that everything from now on will be done according to my words."

"it is good."

Zhang Xu was walking in a hurry, and when he reached the threshold, he didn't pay attention to his feet, staggered, and nearly fell to the ground.

"Brother, are you okay?" Zhang Xutang's concerned voice came over.

"fine."

Zhang Xuling walked out without looking back, thinking that if Zhang Xutang can abandon so many people today, will he also abandon himself when that day comes?

Will.

Zhang Xutang didn't care about Zhang Xuling's sensitive and delicate feelings. In his eyes, the battle with King Jin was kicking off a long prelude.

Song Huiyue will become a heartbroken person in this battle.

When the Dengwen drum beat, the whole court shook.

Jinshang personally inquired and learned that King Jin and Xu Laiyu were not buried in the smelting field, but more than [-] people. The corpses have not been restrained so far, and no compensation has been given. The whole Zezhou has been lying and even setting up After many checkpoints, only allowed to enter and not allowed to exit, Long Wei was furious and immediately sent envoys to inspect.

Yantie deputy envoy Li Lin looked dignified, and sent greeting cards to the Zhang family, only to learn that both Mr. Zhang Xiangye and the uncle of the Zhang family had not left the palace, and only Zhang Ya, who was accidentally injured, was in the Zhang family. The young lady of the Yue family was at the Zhang family Visiting, he can only give up.

Yue Huaiyu didn't want to see Zhang Xutang at all, but she had to come. Standing in front of Zhang Xutang, she said a few words of concern in a perfunctory manner, and Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Yue immediately laughed.

She couldn't laugh.

Originally, she just didn't want to marry Zhang Xutang, but now she learned from Yue Zhongtai that Zezhou was created by Zhang Xutang, and looking at this person, she is disgusted and afraid.

She has never seen a worse person than Zhang Xutang, who regards his life as worthless, but everyone thinks he is good, and thinks that he has to be so bad for the sake of the imperial concubine and King Yan.

Zhang Xutang is sitting in a fold-back chair, which is square and spacious, with a delicately embroidered colorful golden pheasant soft pillow on the back, a cotton blanket with auspicious cloud pattern under his buttocks, and a blue landscape thread blanket on the footrest, full of flowers. Wrap Zhang Xutang in it.

He also showed extraordinarily fragility amidst the colorful flowers, like a fragile glass object that would shatter when touched.

However, he was not really weak, looking at Yue Huaiyu with poisonous eyes, what he saw was not a little girl, but the entire Yue family.

He smiled affectionately at Yue Huaiyu: "I'll show you my glass house."

Yue Huaiyu didn't dare to go: "You can't move, so don't move"

Zhang Xutang interrupted her: "It's okay, I'll let Lao Wei carry me on his back."

Yue Huaiyu felt uneasy, and was about to think of another way to refuse, but Madam Yue agreed for her: "Oh, these two guys are still holding hands to see the glass house just like when they were young."

"Yes, it wasn't that big at first," Mrs. Zhang also smiled, "Go, it's cold outside, bring an extra hand stove."

Having said this, Yue Huaiyu had to bite the bullet and go to see the glass house with Zhang Xutang, and at the same time secretly recalled in his mind when he and Zhang Xutang held hands.

If so, be sure to wash your hands well when you go back.

While thinking wildly, Zhang Xutang suddenly asked her in a low voice: "Do you love King Jin?"

Yue Huaiyu thought he heard it wrong, looked left and right, and found that the maids and mothers around him were all behind, and it was Zhang Xutang who spoke.

Zhang Xutang lay on Lao Wei's back, looked at Yue Huaiyu with a half-smile: "You love King Jin, I know, you can't hide it from me."
