Chapter 148 General Zhenyu's Heart 6 Farewell

Liu Zhi woke up from the chaos, and heard the sound of the clothes flapping beside him. Although the pain in his body was hard to hide, he still supported his body, his long hair covered his back, and his eyes were glued to Zheng Zhongjin.

"You want to go?" Liu Zhi asked, only to realize that his voice was dry and hoarse after using it all night, and his voice almost collapsed in his throat.

Zheng Zhongjin didn't look back, fastened his belt, and nodded.

Anger and disappointment welled up in Liu Zhi's heart: "Even if we spent last night between you and me, and it's no longer the same as before, you also decide to leave?"

"My lord," Zheng Zhongjin turned around, he was standing outside the tent, the candles in the lanterns outside were burnt out, the sky was bright, but it was also gray, I couldn't see Yuxue's body clearly in the white gauze tent, it's okay if I couldn't see clearly, look Only when you don't understand clearly can you say the cruel words: "You and I absolutely shouldn't have done it last night. If the prince wants to care about it, I will die as an official."

Veins suddenly appeared in the palms of Liu Zhi's propped body. Did the general in front of the bed know that what he said would chill his heart?

"Shouldn't be?" Liu Zhi sneered: "Zheng Zhongjin, what do you think should be?"

"Self-restraint and observance of etiquette, prince Tian's family son, lower official Tian's family servant."

"If I'm not a child of Tian's family, you are not a servant of Tian's family." Liu Zhi stayed on the bed in a crumpled coat, stood behind him, and said word by word, "Is it right?"

"This minister is the legitimate son of the Zheng family, who bears the honor and disgrace of the Zheng family, and the successor of the Zheng family, sir," Zheng Zhong would not look at Liu Zhi, he dared not look at him: "You should be a good member of the Zheng family, Da Qichen."

"Hahaha," Liu Zhi looked up to the sky and laughed twice, the laughter was a bit desolate and sad: "Zheng Zhongjin, you really have no seed, you are even less seeded than Zhao Jixing, the family honor and disgrace, the border is peaceful, the people live in peace, You can't wait to hold everything on your shoulders, you are uneasy when the border is turbulent, you don't want to be humiliated by the Zheng family, you are more anxious than anyone else about the suffering of the people, you ask what you want, you ask for peace in the world, the prosperity of the country and the people's safety, you used to be a young man It doesn’t matter if you’re unhappy from time to time,” Liu Zhi let out a long sigh, “A person who thinks too much like you deserves to be unhappy.”

Zheng Zhongjin's hands under the cuffs were tightly grasped. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say a word.

Liu Zhi also lost his patience, he called Li Ziyu who was waiting outside the door: "Come, see off the guests."

Li Ziyu entered the room with his head down, without looking up at Liu Zhi's half-naked posture, he walked towards Zheng Zhongjin without looking sideways, bowed and said, "General, please go back."

Zheng Zhongjin lifted his foot and left the land of this charming and dreamy night.

When Li Ziyu came back, Liu Zhi was sitting on the edge of the bed, half covered by the crumpled Chinese shirt from last night, with his head bowed and his long hair spread across his shoulders. Li Ziyu approached slowly, without opening his mouth. Zhi then raised his head, his long eyelashes half covered, tears streaming down his face.

"My lord..."

"Mother concubine was wronged and died tragically. I never helped her rehabilitate. It was because of unfilial piety. My grandfather's family was wronged and destroyed. Because I couldn't bear to make Zheng Zhongjin sad, I was alone. I never participated in it, and I didn't touch the Zheng family. It was out of kindness. I did it for him. I have been an unfilial and unkind person for more than ten years, and now I am willing to give up for him, all I ask is that he talk to me well and treat me well, but which time," Liu Zhi laughed at himself, laughing and crying at the same time "Which time he didn't let me watch his back, which time he didn't leave decisively, the Zheng family's honor and disgrace, the responsibility of being a minister, the responsibility of the world, all of them are heavier than me."

"My lord, I can't ask for it..." Li Ziyu felt sorry for his master after all, and comforted him: "I don't ask for it anymore, maybe let it go, it will be fine..."

"I can't ask for it... Mother and concubine begged father for a complete heart all her life, but in the end she was given a white silk by father, and died of hatred," Liu Zhi covered his face and wiped away the unfinished tears. He was extremely exhausted. State: "I only feel pain when I look at my mother and concubine. It's about the same as you look at me now, but my Mei family blood is probably paranoid. It's okay to feel tired today."

Li Ziyu felt a pain in his heart, he didn't care about the difference between master and servant, he stretched out his hand to embrace Liu Zhi in his arms, patted his head lightly like a loving father, and remained silent.

Half a month later, the case of General Mei's rehabilitation was still pending, and the battle report came first from the northern border. The Qiang people's [-] troops gathered to suppress the Daqi border, and the war was imminent.

The Holy Majesty personally issued an imperial decree, ordering the hussar general Zheng Zhongjin to be the general, leading an army of 20 troops to Baicheng to support, if the Qiang people change, they may fight with them.

He was ordered in danger, Zheng Zhongjin was supposed to go into battle, but his father was still in prison, Zheng Zhongjin was in a dilemma, at night, Zhao Ji went to the door to persuade, Zhongzheng was the commander, and went to pacify the northern border, even if the Zheng family was involved in the treason case back then, as long as the northern border Every day of unrest, the Holy Majesty will rely on Zheng Zhongjin, and the Zheng family will be glorious every day.

Three days later, Zheng Zhongjin led his troops out of the city, before leaving, he went to Prince Yong's mansion, stood in the wind for three hours, Liu Zhi did not see him.

After the morning of that day, Rongchang's mansion could no longer receive any post from Prince Yong's mansion. The man seemed to draw a clear line with him. Passing by, even Yu Guang is no longer with him.

But Zheng Zhongjin felt empty and uncomfortable.

If we drag it any longer, we will miss the time for the army to set off. Zheng Zhongjin was agitated, thinking of Liu Zhi's arrogance when he led people into Rongchang Duke's mansion that day, and now he wanted to imitate it, but he didn't bring anyone here right now. , I had no choice but to break through alone.

After all, he was a general trained on the battlefield, even though there were so many guards in Prince Yong's residence, Zheng Zhongjin broke in.

But there is no master in that courtyard.

Li Ziyu heard the commotion in the courtyard, so he came out in a hurry, saluted Zheng Zhongjin respectfully, and said: "General, please go, the prince is not at the house these few days, the prince is going." I went to the Lingyun Temple outside the city to fast with the presiding Zen master, and it will take ten and a half months to come back, and the general may not see the prince."

"Why is he going to Lingyun Temple? Now is not the time to worship the Buddha." Zheng Zhongjin was extremely disappointed and couldn't help asking.

Li Ziyu didn't want to talk about it, but felt that the young general who was arrogant and domineering in the courtyard, who claimed to be righteous and embarrassing, was really annoying, so he looked at him coldly: "The general may not remember, but the old slave dare not forget, In two days' time, it will be the anniversary of the death of General Mei's family."

Zheng Zhongjin felt pain in his chest, opened his mouth, and found his voice after a long time: "I see."

He probably wanted to say a lot, but when he thought about it, he didn't know what to say. He wanted to say to Liu Zhi that if Liu Zhi was not around, he would be like an eggplant beaten by Shuang, and most of it would be gone. Those words made him suddenly ashamed to stand here, but when he left this time, he felt a lot of uneasiness in his heart.

The urging soldiers came in a hurry, Zheng Zhongjin didn't leave a word at last, and rode away with him.

Li Ziyu didn't see him off, but when he saw him leaving the palace, he ordered someone to close the gate of the palace. An hour later, Li Ziyu got into an unremarkable carriage and hurried away from the west gate of the palace.

Two days later, the carriage stopped at Lingyun Temple, Li Zihe got off his horse, and followed the little novice who came to guide him into the temple.

There was the sound of chanting scriptures in a well-repaired Zen room in the backyard of the temple. Li Ziyu pushed the door and went in. He saw Liu Zhi's straight back, bowing his head and reciting scriptures devoutly.Li Ziyu didn't say a word, stepped forward, knelt behind Liu Zhi, and silently recited scriptures.

It wasn't until the top of the moon that the sound of chanting in the meditation room disappeared. Li Ziyu's legs and feet were so numb that he almost couldn't stand up.

Li Ziyu stood up slowly after slowing down for a while, then bent down to help Liu Zhi, Liu Zhi did not shirk, and stood up with Li Ziyu's palms supported, the two supported each other to the outside, Liu Zhi sat down, He waved his hand to signal Li Ziyu to sit down too. Li Ziyu sat beside Liu Zhi unwillingly. He picked up the tea beside him and wanted to pass it to Liu Zhi to moisten his dry lips. Cold tea, just about to call someone to serve the tea again, but Liu Zhi stopped him: "It's okay." After speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

After reading the scriptures all day, the burning throat was slightly relieved by the cold tea.

"General Zheng has already left the city and is marching in a hurry. I think he is about to leave the boundary of the capital now." Li Ziyu also took up the cold tea on the other side and drank it in one gulp: "General Zheng came to the palace to look for the prince before leaving the city, and the slave did as the prince ordered. No, General Zheng forced his way into the palace, and the slaves had no choice but to persuade the general to retreat."

After Liu Zhi heard this, his eyes changed, but he didn't say anything: "Since he left, our plan should go ahead. How about the prince?"

"The secret letter I just received when I came here, the prince can't wait, and has arranged for people to tamper with the emperor's diet, but the prince is afraid of finding out, so the action is very small. If the prince didn't make people pay special attention to the emperor's diet, I'm afraid It won't be found out now."

"The crown prince is the same as his mother and queen. They all use these tricks. The mother and concubine told the king after doing it once in the past," Liu Zhi laughed. I just guard against him upwards, but I still treat him as a dutiful son in private."

"The spies came to report, but the emperor didn't suspect anything." Li Zi said.

"It's just right," Liu Zhi hooked the corners of his lips, "I've lost my patience, and I don't like to take care of this mess anymore, so I'll find a chance to tell my father about it and make him suspicious. "

"Yes," Li Ziyu responded respectfully, and after a while, Li Ziyu asked again: "My lord, is it too fast? We just returned to Beijing, and our foundation is not stable. If we are in such a hurry, we will be able to get the position." ,I am afraid……"

Liu Zhi glanced at him, and said disdainfully: "Who said I'm going to be the emperor? Emperor, what's the point? Look at Liu Yan and Liu Ye, look at Zheng Zhongjin, Zhao Jixing, these people, will one day be real?" happy?"

"Then we are like this..." Li Ziyu showed doubts.

"This king wants to use the foundation of the Liu family as his mother, concubine, and grandfather," Liu Zhi said in the most ruthless words: "Buried with him."

The throne of emperor?

Liu Zhi never disdained, although he was born in the royal family, he resembled his idiot mother.

Crazy and crazy.
