Datang Almighty Dad

Chapter 571
After recalling the Battle of Beacon Fort, Zhang Xiaojing remembered one thing, that was last year, a certain day in the first half of the second year of Tianbao.

That day, at the door of the bad guy's shop, a person was thrown away, a person with gloves on and head on his head.

Everyone thought it was someone who committed a crime, and was tied up and sent over to take credit for it.But when he opened it, it turned out to be Liu Zongqi?

Zhang Xiaojing quickly untied him in surprise, "Liu Zongqi? Brat, are you still alive? Hahahaha, Lao Wen and I are looking for you everywhere. Your neighbor in Kucha Town said that you never went back, and your grandparents are nowhere to be found." You are in Chang'an, why don't you come to me and Lao Wen?"

"Who tied you? What happened?"

Liu Zongqi covered his face, with fear and guilt all over his face, he bowed directly to Zhang Xiaojing.

"What are you doing? Get up!" Zhang Xiaojing helped the other party up, looking at this immature recruit. Now, after nine years, he has grown into a young man and has begun to grow a beard.

No, these clothes are official clothes, let alone the color of the clothes, the grade is not low.

"Brother, you're doing well!"

Liu Zongqi looked up guilty, "Yes, I'm an official, in the Ministry of War, from the sixth rank."

Zhang Xiaojing was slightly surprised, then saluted Liu Zongqi, "Here!"

Bad people outside the door also bowed down and sang.

Zhang Xiaojing was sincerely happy for his brother, but Liu Zongqi grabbed Zhang Xiaojing, then knelt down on his knees with a plop, shouting "I'm sorry!"

Zhang Xiaojing didn't understand yet, he patted the other party's shoulder and smiled, "You are doing well, brothers are happy. Come, come and sit. You don't know, most of the brothers who survived in Fengsui Fort have suffered accidents."

"I know!" Liu Zongqi bowed his head and said, "I know everything about what happens to you. It's just that I have been avoiding you all the time."

Um?This is?

Zhang Xiaojing handed over the mint leaves, but Liu Zongqi didn't accept it guiltily.

Zhang Xiaojing smiled, "Hey, my brother is still hiding it, afraid that we will come to you for benefits?"

"Dad and mother have come to Chang'an, right? Haha, okay, then during the Chinese New Year, we can watch the lanterns together. The brothers from the Eighth Regiment are happy for you."

Liu Zongqi couldn't hold back any longer, and shouted with tears in his eyes, "They all died!"

Um?Zhang Xiaojing was puzzled, and the bad guys also stood up curiously.

Liu Zongqi knelt down towards Zhang Xiaojing and cried, "We didn't know until we escaped that Gai Jiayun's [-]-strong army had already ambushed near the Fengsui Fortress, and waited until most of the enemy troops attacked and the Eighth Regiment was wiped out. They're willing to show up."

"You're talking nonsense, General Gai cherishes the Eighth Regiment, we can't be dismissed just because of his defeat, like everyone else..."

Before Zhang Xiaojing finished speaking, Liu Zongqi interrupted and shouted: "It's all fake! The eighth regiment is Gai Jiayun's fishing bait! I'm sorry for you..."

Zhang Xiaojing's tears filled his eyes in an instant.

Without saying a word, he rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the house, found a suit of armor and passed it on, and came to Lao Wen's house.

Lao Wen was preparing spices at home, looked at the menacing Zhang Xiaojing, and asked in puzzlement, "Why are you wearing the uniform of the Eighth Regiment?"

"Take care of your own He Wenran. If you have something to do at home, go to the yamen to find my brother..." Zhang Xiaojing went straight to the back room and took off the flag of the Eighth Regiment. This was embroidered by Wen Wuji later. He and Zhang Xiaojing will salute the flag every day.

Seeing Zhang Xiaojing put on clothes and take off the flag again, Wen Wuji didn't understand, and hugged him: "What are you doing? What are you going to do... No, no, no..."

"Get out of the way!" Nine years later, Wen Wuji was old after all, Zhang Xiaojing couldn't be dragged, and he pushed him to the ground.

"Zhang Xiaojing, what on earth are you going to do?" Wen Wuji shouted weakly against the wall.

Zhang Xiaojing bowed his head and said, "Go back to the eighth group of graves and toast me."

"What are you going to do in the name of the Eighth Regiment?"

Walking to the door, Zhang Xiaojing turned around and said, "Gai Jiayun cheated our Eighth Regiment, I'll have a good chat with him."

At this time, Wen Ran blocked the door.

Thinking of Wenran, Zhang Xiaojing remembered what he taught Wenran.Wen Wuji taught her daughter that losing money is a blessing, but Zhang Xiaojing taught Wen Ran that if someone bullied her, she should fight back.Therefore, Wen Ran has always been closer to Zhang Xiaojing.

That day, Zhang Xiaojing did not seek revenge on Gai Jiayun.

Because Wen Wuji's next words made him stop.

Wen Wuji said, "You are not living in Chang'an alone, you are living for all the brothers of the Eighth Regiment. Only when you stay in Chang'an will we be remembered, and your children and grandchildren will be in Chang'an , to pass on our story.”

"Chang'an is our belief, something we desperately guard. Only when it gets better and better, will our death have value!"

Yes, Zhang Xiaojing told himself the same.But at this moment, the two brothers basically don't believe it anymore, and they can't lie to themselves anymore.

From that day on, Wen Wuji and Zhang Xiaojing all chose to get drunk every day.

"When faith is gone, people are finished. There is no point in doing anything. Before getting drunk and getting drunk, the time becomes longer and longer..." Zhang Xiaojing was wearing that military uniform, drinking pots and pots alone in the tavern.

Until one day, he met a person, a person holding a book and a counting rope around his neck, who was Xu Bin, the head of the household department at that time.After seeing Zhang Xiaojing drunk, Xu Bin fiddled with the rope, and after a while, he said, "The Eighth Regiment of the Anxi Iron Army."

"roll!"

Ignoring Zhang Xiaojing's dismissal, Xu Bin sat opposite Zhang Xiaojing himself, and sighed: "It's a pity, this group is gone."

"roll!"

Xu Bin picked up the jug and smelled it, then shook his head and said, "This wine is not good, it's too thick, too strong, and it hurts your throat! Have some good wine? But I don't have money, so you have to buy it for me."

Zhang Xiaojing laughed, sneered, thinking that he must be insane.

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Xu Bin said, "I can ask questions. This is a great skill. I'm worth your glass of wine."

Zhang Xiaojing said coldly, "Where have I seen you before?"

"Hehe, little official from the household department, when Zhang Duwei was investigating the case, he went to the household department to call for the documents, and they all found them for you from the archives." Xu Bin opened the oiled paper bag he was carrying, and inside was a small cooked beef.

Zhang Xiaojing took a look, do you know me?The opponent came prepared.

Throwing his purse on the table, drinking a full glass, staring at Xu Bin and saying, "Your question is worth it!"

After a moment of silence, Xu Bin spoke slowly, "Tell me, why do people like to listen to stories? That's because, in stories, good people are rewarded."

Zhang Xiaojing sneered and said, "It's all made up."

"That depends on whether you believe it or not. The story you believe in is actually your choice. Your current choice may also become a story in the future. What kind of story do you want Chang'an people to hear?"

After finishing speaking, Xu Bin reached out to get the purse, but was held down by Zhang Xiaojing, his eyes were fierce and he said, "You came to find me on purpose?"

"People in Chang'an are living in a beautiful dream now, and this dream needs someone to guard it for them. Right?"

This is all about the second year of Tianbao, because of what Lao Wen said, Zhang Xiaojing did not continue to find Gai Jiayun desperately; because of Xu Bin's words, Zhang Xiaojing continued to be a bad handsome man, and made more troubles for Chang'an case, until Lao Wen died because of the demolition.

He stayed in death row for half a year until now, the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the third year of Tianbao.

Thinking about it now, it seems that all of this is related.

Back to the present, inside the Dadeng Building, Zhang Xiaojing stared at Xiao Gui and asked, "Did Liu Zongqi be tied up and sent to my door?"
