Chapter 319 A favor that costs nothing
Zhang Qingyun will not go to Shuzhong.
Although Li Dachui suggested that she do so.
But Zhang Qingyun believes that although Chang'an will be the place of the Four Wars, and heroes from all walks of life want to seize this place, it also illustrates the importance of Chang'an, from the Yong Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty The two dynasties lasted for nearly a thousand years, both with Chang'an as their capital, which made people all over the world regard Chang'an as a holy place in their hearts.
This is the awe that has been naturally accumulated over a long period of time.
Therefore, the Wei family wanted to defend this place.
After the Linghu family entered the pass, their main thought was to capture this place.
It is easy to go out, but not so easy to come back.
Zhiqiuyuan used to have only a small stronghold in Chang'an. In the past two years, Zhang Qingyun, who came back, was like a spider, working hard day and night to spin silk and build a web. Now this big The Internet has begun to take shape and has a small scale.
Next, Zhang Qingyun's task is to weave nodes and networks one by one on this big network. If she leaves at this time, all her previous efforts will be wasted, which she cannot accept.
As for Shuzhong, the black ice platform is enough now.
Unlike Zhiqiuyuan, which has only entered the customs in a big way in the past two years, Heibingtai has poured a lot of manpower and material resources into Shuzhong from the beginning to the end. The importance of Shuzhong to Chang'an is not limited to these two. It only became apparent in the new year.
Any politician with some strategic vision will see this.
So if Zhiqiuyuan enters Shu in large numbers now, it will destroy the stability of the original Heibingtai spy network.
Forcibly entering from the outside is better than letting the Black Ice Platform transform naturally from the inside.
With Wu De, a big boss, entering Shu, it was only a matter of time before the Black Ice Terrace in Shu became part of Zhiqiuyuan.
“Of course that’s what happened!” Li Dachui mused: “But Chang’an has become the site of the Fourth War, and your safety is the top priority! Things must be done today and tomorrow. There is no problem, it’s just a matter of time, but if you have any shortcomings, how can I stay with Mr. Zhang?”
Hearing that Li Dachui was so concerned about his personal safety, Zhang Qingyun felt happy and tried his best to keep a straight face. His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes unconsciously turned into crescent moons.
"Young Master is too worried!" Zhang Qingyun said: "That year when my father was imprisoned and questioned, that was the time when I was most helpless and helpless. At that time, although the war was not as dangerous as it is now. , but for me, it is a thousand times more dangerous. I have survived those days, so it’s nothing to be afraid of now.” Zhang Qingyun stood in front of Li Dachui and said: "Master, now behind Qingyun is this huge man outside the pass, with masters of innate martial arts such as the master and the city lord. Anyone who knows the importance of the matter dares to provoke me? And those who don't know the details, When you come here, you can’t provoke me!”
"But you are a daughter's family after all. When I came, Mr. Zhang was also very worried. He expressed his intention to have you return to the outside world several times!" Li Dachui looked at Zhang Qingyun's frown and said with a smile: "Of course I won't agree to let you go back outside the customs at this time, but going to Shuzhong, which is safer, is a good compromise."
Zhang Qingyun shook his head and said dissatisfiedly: "Young Master, Sister Xiao is in command Ten thousand troops scolded Fang Qiu, and Sister Xia Zhi charged into the battle with all her strength. I don’t see how worried the young master is about them. How come they have become my daughter’s family when they come to my place?”
Li Dachui said with a smile: “They all have one thing. You can protect yourself with your height and profound martial arts skills, but you have no strength to restrain a chicken."
"Young master, I have brains and wisdom!" Zhang Qingyun interrupted Li Dachui: "I remember you once told me that the mind is more effective than any force."
Seeing the two people arguing, Wu De on one side was a little embarrassed, coughed lightly and said: "Guardian, Qing What Miss Yun said makes sense. Chang'an will always be the most important place for intelligence collection and should not be given up. Moreover, in Chang'an, Hei Bingtai's strength is strong enough. To take care of both sides, Miss Qing Yun should All right.”
"Since you all say so, then so be it, but next I will transfer Cao Hui, the director of the Zhiqiuyuan Operations Department, to Chang'an. He has very rich experience in activities behind enemy lines. With him by your side, I Don't worry!" Li Dachui gave in.
"Okay!" Hearing what Li Dachui said, Zhang Qingyun, who was originally like a hairy hedgehog, immediately became docile, lowered his eyebrows, and suddenly became like a well-behaved hedgehog. kitten.
Wu De sighed secretly in his heart. As early as when he was outside the customs, he felt that Zhang Qingyun and Luo Ying were born to be spies. It was indeed good.
Zhou Gang's sudden visit interrupted the three people's detailed discussion of the next actions.
Zhou Gang is also a node in the Chang'an network woven by Zhang Qingyun. His father was once the most important minister around the Emperor of Qin, and was a scholar of Gao Zhou. As long as there are any important decrees, this student Zhou will draft the imperial decree and then issue it.
Strictly speaking, Academician Zhou is also one of the core senior officials of the Qin Empire.
It’s just that this man conspired with the eunuch Huang Eunuch to get Linghuye a fake imperial edict to enter King Guan Qin. After it was exposed, he was sent to prison. Eunuch Huang, the great eunuch, was directly killed with a cane. Xueshi Zhou, who had a good relationship with Wei Zhengdao because he was the same year, was lucky enough to survive this time, but was deprived of all official positions and titles. , became a white body.
The always arrogant Master Zhou Gang suddenly lost his arrogance in Chang'an.
He has not appeared in Zhang's mansion for a long time.
"Brother Zhou, I haven't been here for almost two months. What kind of wind brought you here today?" Zhang Qingyun was also surprised when she saw Zhou Gang now.
Although Zhou Gang is a well-known dandy in Beijing, his knowledge is not bad. After all, he has a father who became a bachelor. No matter how bad Young Master Zhou is, there is a limit. of. In addition, he is tall and handsome, and if nothing else, it is very eye-catching just to look at him.
However, Zhou Gang appeared in front of Zhang Qingyun now. He had an unkempt beard and a haggard face. He had lost at least twenty or thirty kilograms. The clothes that originally fit him now seemed too wide, and they were too big for him. The auxiliary skeleton seemed empty.
"Miss Qingyun, you have always been a scholar who talks and laughs here, and there is no one who comes and goes. Now that the Zhou family is in trouble, the situation is precarious, and they are afraid, and they still come to you, isn't it just for making people laugh?" Zhou Gang said with a wry smile.
Zhang Qingyun raised her eyebrows and raised her voice, looking a little angry: "So in the eyes of Brother Zhou, am I such a snobbish woman?"
"No, no, I'm just ashamed of myself!" Zhou Gang waved his hands repeatedly.
"Brother Zhou, if you have any difficulties, just come to me." Zhang Qingyun took the tea bowl from the servant and handed it to Zhou Gang himself. He said warmly: "I can't forget. Back then, my father and I When I was exiled from thousands of miles away, Brother Zhou was the only one who broke willows for me to say goodbye to me. When I came back alone, it was Brother Zhou who greeted me at the city gate! Perhaps Brother Zhou had forgotten this friendship. But for me, it will be remembered for a lifetime!"
For Zhang Qingyun, Zhou Gang's face was flushed, his eyes were filled with tears, and his wrist holding the tea was shaking. , so that it jingled, which made him even more embarrassed, and put the tea bowl on the table.
In the back hall, Wu De couldn't help but be speechless after listening to this.
Zhang Qingyun really cheated people to death without repaying their lives.
These warm and nostalgic words were aimed at Zhou Gang, who was currently in trouble. For Zhou Gang, it was simply a dimensionality-reducing blow, and there would be no resistance at all.
It is estimated that if he were Zhou Gang, he would be extremely moved now, and the desire to die for the other party would naturally emerge.
“Protector, it’s clear that Academician Zhou is in collusion with Linghuye. He was not touched in the past because he did have a lot of teachers and students, many of whom were in the same year. Scholars should look out for each other. So he left a life behind. According to the crime he committed, there was no need to say anything about it. Academician Zhou also understood this, so he kept a low profile and tried not to attract attention to himself. But he wanted to. Leaving is impossible. Originally, if Li Tai could ascend the throne, there would be a chance for his family to recover, because after all, he had been the prince's teacher. But now that Li Tai is dead, Wei Zhengdao will stick to Chang'an, and Xueshi Zhou will be the one. His life was probably lost. That’s why he got anxious and came to find Miss Qingyun. "So, this Zhou Gang is pretty smart!" Li Dachui said with a smile.
“Sir, this Zhou Gang was just arrogant in the past, not stupid!” Wu De said with a smile: “He doesn’t know who the real backer behind Miss Qingyun is, but Zhang Ruo and Zhang Gong are now famous outside the customs. , highly valued by the Protectorate.”
"That's right. Now that a disaster is approaching, it's like a drowning man grabbing a straw, and he has to hold on to it!" Li Dachui nodded. "I guess he wants to go out of town and go to Linghuye."
"That should be the case." Wu De said.
“Since I am giving a favor, I will give it a bigger gift!” Li Dachui smiled and said: “Xueshi Zhou is not a very good character, but his knowledge is not bad, and his ability to do things is limited, so I can help him by giving it away. No matter how busy Linghuye is, if this person comes to Linghuye and realizes that he has made great contributions, if he is not reused by Linghuye, he will inevitably feel resentful and it will also make others think of Linghuye. "
"So, help me?"
"It's free of charge!" Li Dachui said with a smile: "Go and tell Wei Zhengdao about your early years. I owe this person a favor, and now I want to repay it. Wei Zhengdao will not be unhappy with you because of such a person.”
Wu De nodded.
