Chapter 615 Curious, not respectful

Throwing Gao Zhao's letter away, Li Chengzhi picked up Zhang Jingzhi's handwritten letter again.

"It's been nearly two years since Gao Ping left... However, Jing Mo got married, and a certain person entered Beijing flawlessly. This old man feels very regretful..."

The tone was very gentle, most of the letter was words of longing, and when Li Chengzhi read it again, he was still embarrassing.

Zhang Jingzhi was clearly mocking him, for almost two years, he hadn't written a single letter to him.

For this uncle, Li Chengzhi is still very guilty.

Back then, the ancestral Li family was already in ruins, not to mention Jingzhou, let alone Guanzhong, but only in the small Longdong County, its influence was so small that it could be ignored.If it weren't for Zhang Jingzhi's great favor and help, how could Li Chengzhi have gathered nearly ten thousand troops to suppress the rebellion and made such a great achievement?
Afterwards, if Zhang Jingzhi hadn't planned to mediate at the risk of genocide, it would have been impossible for Li Song to lead [-] soldiers to follow Hexi far away without any danger.

There will be no more than [-] Guanzhong refugees moving to Xihai later, laying an iron foundation for today's Li family.

For example, Zhang Xinyi, Zhang Xingyi and other Zhang's children are all outstanding talents. If Zhang Jingzhi didn't have good intentions, how could he not promote officials and follow the Li family to become bandits?

In fairness, Zhang Jingzhi treated Li Chengzhi like this, even if he was his own son.

The reason why Li Chengzhi never contacted him again after feigning death was that the situation was getting more and more dangerous because the storm was coming and the undercurrent was surging.

Just like now, Xi Kangsheng was only suspicious without any basis at all, but he still suspected Zhang Jingzhi.And if he kept in touch with him frequently, even if Xi Kangsheng didn't get caught with evidence, he would definitely find traces.

Regardless of the rest, it's just that the children of Zhang's younger generation die less and more each year, which can make Xi Kangsheng's imagination run wild.

Is Lord Yan staring at you, Mrs. Zhang?

If Xi Kangsheng was more ruthless, there was no guarantee that he would not use Zhang Jingzhi to blackmail him like Gao Zhao imprisoned Li Shixian.

At that time, whether I should or should not, whether to save or not?
Leaving aside the mention of in-laws, it is just to win people's hearts, so as not to make the Zhang family's children under his command alienate him, and he will never stand by and watch.

Thinking of this, Li Chengzhi's heart skipped a beat.

its not right?
If that was the plan, why did Xi Kangsheng send Zhang Jingzhi to his door like a gift?
What's more, just like adding a head, let Daxi be his deputy, and send him together with Zhang Jingyi.

As for what Li Feng guessed, Daxi was there to monitor Zhang Jingzhi and so on, just like telling a joke.

Daxi is too loyal, if you talk about playing tricks, he will live ten more lives than Zhang Jingzhi.

Therefore, Xi Kangsheng is not afraid of meat buns beating dogs, never returning?
But with his own temperament and friendship with Daxi, if Daxi is taken captive to the West Sea, can he still be killed?

Thinking about it this way, Li Chengzhi felt even weirder: This old thief is betting on both ends, right?
Just like the gentry in Kanto and Shandong, there were many people whose sons and daughters held important positions in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.Xi Kangsheng may not have planned for a rainy day, and made a move in advance to leave an extra way out for the Daxi family.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was possible, and Li Chengzhi was delighted and depressed at the same time.

Depressed is that this old thief has counted on him, and happy that if it is not bad, Xi Kangsheng should give himself a gift.

Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.Now that the bull's head and cow's body are all delivered, this old thief will never be stingy with a bull's tail.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Chengzhi immediately made a decision.

"Xingyi!"

Zhang Xingyi made a promise, and stepped into the middle hall: "What orders does your lord have!"

Li Chengzhi wrote with a smile, and confessed while writing: "Hold my handwriting, and return to Bigan City quickly, and then so, so..."

Zhang Xingyi's eyes widened, both excited and grateful.

……

Xihai County, Hequ Division.

This place was built in the Western Han Dynasty. At that time, a tributary of the Yellow River flowed through Monan. When Zhao Chongguo stationed troops in Hexi, he built Si Ya here.In the later Han Dynasty, the Yellow River was diverted and its tributaries were cut off, so the government office was abandoned. It has been 400 years ago, so it has long been dilapidated.

Zhang Jingzhi and Daxi hid here for the time being, except for the two who each had a dozen or so relatives, the rest only had dozens of armored cavalry.

There were originally two hundred, but because Daxi insisted on going his own way, he refused to listen to Zhang Jingzhi's words and sent Rouran's army who wanted to bypass Nanzhuang Mountain a few days ago.As a result, I went out for more than 220 rides, and less than a hundred came back...

Zhang Jingzhi suggested to go back as soon as possible and revive Xi Kang's life, but Daxi was unwilling.

At the time of departure, Xi Kangsheng’s exhortations were still ringing in my ears: Even with all the difficulties and dangers, it is necessary to find out whether most people live in seclusion in the area from Daqi to Juyan. It would be great if I could meet Li Chengzhi...

But now let alone Ju Yanhai, even Nanchuang Mountain cannot be climbed, if they return, how will they explain to Xi Kangsheng?
Therefore, Daxi is as determined as he is, and it is useless for anyone to persuade him.

But he also knew that the longer he spent here, the lower his morale would be.Just like this, there was wine and meat in the tent, and fat sheep were roasting outside the tent, but nearly a hundred soldiers were all sad, as if they were mourning their concubines.

If things go on like this, it's hard to guarantee that one day they won't lose morale and run away...

It is rare that there is no wind today, but the temperature difference in the north is huge, and it is still a bit cold at night.Zhang Jingzhi was wrapped in a thin fur and sat on the beacon tower admiring the moonlight, holding a wine bag in his hand, and would take a sip from time to time.

Da Xi stood in the shadow under the city pier, his face was sometimes tangled and sometimes panicked.After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth and coughed lightly.

Zhang Jingzhi turned his head, saw the figure walking towards him, and called suspiciously, "Xi Zhonglang?"

"Don't drive, is it a good mood?"

Daxi boarded Fengcheng, sat down next to Zhang Jingzhi, took the wine bag from him, gulped it down several times, and then handed it to Zhang Jingzhi.

Zhang Jingzhi was slightly taken aback, then smiled dumbly, took a couple of sips from the wine bag.

Daxi's move was somewhat rude, but with his nature, he was just expressing his intimacy with Zhang Jingzhi.

How long had it been since the two of them had such a familiar move?
At least two years...

Zhang Jingzhi sighed leisurely: "But it's a dilemma, can't decide?"

"Correct!"

Da Xi snorted coldly as if angry, "I'm here to ask Bie Jia for advice!"

Like a child's heart, on the contrary, it shows that the past has been abandoned, Zhang Jingzhi laughed softly: "Why should you be angry between you and me?"

Da Xi stared: "Then tell me, is Li Chengzhi alive or dead? No matter whether you say yes or not, I will treat what you said as true and order to return tomorrow to return to my father?"

How do you answer this?
Daxi was so straightforward, it seemed like breaking a pot, but he caught Zhang Jingzhi by surprise.

This is not a matter of telling the truth or not, but with Daxi's wisdom, he cannot fool Xi Kangsheng at all.

They are obviously father and son, but they are as different as heaven and earth...

Zhang Jingzhi sighed, and Fang was about to respond, when suddenly there was a faint sound in his ear.

It's like swords and swords striking each other, and like pearls and jade falling on a plate, the sound is clear and sweet.

"Ding ding... ding ding..."

The sound became denser and closer, and the two of them stared at each other with horror.

There was fear in his eyes, Daxi made a sudden movement, like a cat exploded, he jumped vertically up the half-collapsed wall, and looked towards the place where the sound came from.

The moonlight leaked out like mercury, as if a veil was draped over the sea of ​​sand.And the cold light in the distance, flickering, like stars falling to the ground, starlight everywhere.

These are not stars, but countless armor cavalry.

And the ear-piercing sound just now was clearly the sound of the iron armor leaf hitting.

I can see so clearly, hear so clearly, it's clearly less than half a mile away, why didn't I notice it before?
And where did these soldiers come from?

Regardless of the chaotic thoughts in his head, Daxi yelled sharply: "The enemy attacked, go to the city..."

There was a sudden chaos under the city, and the soldiers threw away their wine bags and lamb legs, and swarmed up the city wall.

But seeing the countless cold lights around the ancient city, nearly a hundred soldiers all turned pale, and the two were fighting.

I'm afraid there are three to five thousand enemies here, all of whom are well-equipped with horses and horses, and they still guard a bird's feather?

With only a few hundred people, the opponent only needs one round of arrows to kill seven or eight...

There was no trace of blood on Daxi's face, and he had already drawn his big bow with both hands.However, when the arrow was on the string, it seemed to be frozen, even though his arms were trembling wildly, Daxi didn't know whether he should let go of the string or not.

If it was the Rouran army two hundred miles away, the army formation would not be so neat, and it would be impossible for everyone to approach the ancient city quietly.

But apart from Hu Bing, where did these thousands of riders come from?
Six Towns, Xiazhou, or... Xihai?
Just when Daxi was in doubt, a lantern was raised in the cavalry formation, as if he had been fixed out of thin air, thousands of cavalry stood still outside the city, neatly making one's heart chill.

Then he rode out and walked down the city.Without a guard, let alone a shield, the nearly hundred arrows on the city are nothing.

In just over ten steps, the general who came to Zhuma, smiled and raised his hands towards Daxi: "Xi Zhonglang, are you here all right?"

Daxi's eyeballs popped out suddenly: this voice...why is it so familiar?

There seemed to be a thread in his mind, and when he was about to catch it, he suddenly heard Zhang Jingzhi's surprise: "Xinyi?"

Zhang Xinyi?
It seemed that all the hairs stood on end, and I felt numb all over, like countless ants and bees biting me.

A monstrous anger welled up in his heart, Daxi was startled and suspicious, angry and anxious: "Zhang Xinyi, good you bastard, aren't you dead?"

Two years ago, when Li Chengzhi conquered Qin and Liang states, he went to Jingzhou to ask Xi Kangsheng for help, and Xi Kangsheng sent three battalions of elite cavalry to help in the battle.

At that time, Daxi was in charge, and Zhang Xinyi was in charge.However, in the battle of Chencang, Zhang Xinyi and the two battalions of cavalry were killed and wounded, not a single survivor remained.

Afterwards, Xi Kangsheng was categorical, saying that he must have been hidden by Li Chengzhi.Daxi also argued with reason, saying that the battle of Chencang was extremely tragic, even if the elite of the Chinese army died nearly ten thousand, even two battalions of Jingzhou elite cavalry would not be enough for them to die.

For this reason, he was severely beaten by Xi Kangsheng, and even under Xi Kangsheng's order, he had to alienate Zhang Jingzhi.

But now I know that my father didn't expect it to be wrong, and it was actually done by a thief like Li Chengzhi. How could he not be angry?
He wished he could let go of the bowstring and nail Zhang Xinyi to the city with one arrow.

But he just changed his mind, and suddenly realized that his hands were heavy, and it was Zhang Jingzhi who was holding the arrow shaft with both hands.

"Zhonglang, absolutely not... It's not that the old man is afraid of you shooting Xinyi to death, but Li's armor is forged from fine steel, even if Mr. Xi is here, it will never hurt Xinyi at all... that's the case , why hurt your relationship?"

Even if he can't be shot dead, grandpa still needs to shoot an arrow to relieve his hatred...

It's okay if you don't say anything, Daxi felt even more angry when he heard it, he pushed Zhang Jingzhi away sideways, and raised his bow again: "Zhang Jingzhi, it's vain for me to invite you as a close friend, but you have lied to me in every possible way, and now you are even more hypocritical , hypocrisy, even more hateful than that thief Li Chengzhi..."

"Why should I do this?"

Zhang Jingzhi sighed sadly, "If I intended to harm you, I would have coaxed you to Bigan city already..."

After a short pause, he shouted loudly again: "If you don't want to die, then tie up Zhonglang!"

"Who dares..."

Daxi was furious and roared angrily.But before the roar fell, there were actually more than a dozen soldiers rushing over, all of them were cronies?

He yelled angrily, but in just an instant, Daxi was thrown to the ground, sweating profusely.

Zhang Xinyi was so surprised, he stared blankly at the scene in the city.

He thought it would take a lot of talking, and it was even more likely that Daxi would become angry and take his uncle as a hostage.

Who wants to be so easy?

Just as he was in a daze, he heard Zhang Jingzhi angrily reprimanded: "Why is it so sudden, you can't let Zhang Qi (the confidant Zhang Jingzhi sent to Bigan City before) let me know first?"

Zhang Xinyi sneered: "Uncle, please forgive me. This is how the gentleman confessed. He said that he would not disturb Xi Zhonglang. If he was allowed to escape back to Guanzhong, it would be a waste of the hearts of Xi Shangshu's family members, so I will cut the mess quickly. ..."

"Fart, what does this have to do with my father?"

Daxi was already tied up like a zongzi, so he could only yell at him.

It wasn't just him, even Zhang Jingzhi was stunned, thinking that Xi Kangsheng clearly had bad intentions, so why did he become a lover?

"Uncle, there are too many people here, can you let my nephew into the city first and then tell you more about it?"

Zhang Xinyi pointed at Daxi again, "Mr. Lang concluded that there must be a secret letter written by Shangshu Xi in Xi Zhonglang's bosom. Uncle will find out if he searches for it..."

"You search for a bird's feather. If there is a secret letter from your father, how can grandpa not know?"

"Zhonglang, there are... but in humble positions!"

Like a thunderstorm, Da Xi's skin was scorched and tender, and he felt light again. A soldier climbed up from him, groped in his arms, and took out a leather bag.

"This is the great plan of the Shangshu, saying that if it is critical or necessary, it can be handed over to Zhang Sima..."

Really?
Zhang Jing took it subconsciously, and glanced at the soldier again, and found that this man was not only Daxi's confidant, but also a child of Xi Kangsheng's family.

No wonder he yelled "tied", these soldiers came so fast, maybe Xi Kangsheng had already made arrangements?

Secretly suspicious, Zhang Jingzhi couldn't wait to take apart the wax, and there were more than a dozen pieces of letter paper, densely written on them.

With the torch on, he swept it hastily, but froze in place with just one glance, like a sculpture: "Li Guogong, Qu Qu Boli, it's not a respect, Wan Wang accepts it with a smile..."

Xi Kangsheng not only gave him and Daxi as gifts to Li Chengzhi, but also secretly ordered his confidants to send the Zhang family to Hexi...
