Chapter 354: Trapped in a big web and unable to extricate oneself
Standing outside the door with his hands behind his hands, he listened to his wife and Zhang Qingyun chatting and laughing inside.
Three years ago, I also met this little girl.
At that time, she seemed to be very strong on the outside, but the fear and timidity in her heart could not be hidden in the eyes of those who have experienced many vicissitudes of life.
In just three years, this little woman has completely changed from the inside out.
Listening to this confident smile and thinking about what this woman had done during this period, Wei Zhengdao couldn't help but shake his head.
Zhang Ruo has no sons, but this daughter can only take care of several sons.
He stretched out his hand and patted his cheek. A kind and kind smile appeared on his face. Wei Zhengdao put his hands behind his back, coughed lightly, and walked into the room with eight-figure steps.
Everyone in the room stood up, and some women and girls on both sides bowed and saluted. Mrs. Wei took a few steps forward, pulled Wei Zhengdao and walked to the table, pointing. Several pieces of fox fur were spread on the table and said: "Ms. sir, come and take a look at these pieces of fox fur. Every one of them is a good thing that even money can't buy! These two pure white ones are nothing more. A fiery red one is rare.”
Reaching the fur as smooth as brocade, Wei Zhengdao nodded slightly, it is indeed a good thing.
"I'm determined!" Wei Zhengdao looked at Zhang Qingyun standing in front of him and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang has been in good health these days. It's bitterly cold outside the pass. Mr. Zhang's body and bones are the same as mine, and he's not very strong either!"
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for caring!" Zhang Qingyun thanked him for his blessings and said, "Dad went to the outside of the customs. There are the best miracle doctors in the world there. There is Divine Doctor Fu who nursed dad back to health. His body and bones are getting stronger day by day. Lang, it’s much better than when I was in the capital! The key is that outside the customs, there are not so many bad things, and I feel comfortable. This is better than any medicine!”
Listen! When he said this, Wei Zhengdao's face changed color slightly, and the smile on Mrs. Wei's face also disappeared. Some other ladies lowered their heads and did not dare to answer.
Three years ago, the Zhang family was in trouble. The eldest son of the Zhang family was in trouble during this turmoil. Zhang Qingyun did not say it explicitly, but everyone understood the meaning behind his words.
Wei Zhengdao waved his hand, Mrs. Wei nodded knowingly, and led a group of women out of the room.
Wei Zhengdao sat down, looked at Zhang Qingyun, and said, "You should now know the rights and wrongs of that incident three years ago, right? It's all a matter of state, no personal grudges!"
" That’s why I showed up to you today!” Zhang Qingyun also had a smile on his face, but his words still had a sharp edge: “But do you believe me when I say that I have no evil intentions in my heart?”
"If you really say that, I will murmur in my heart that hating me is the right thing to do." Wei Zhengdao nodded and said, "But it is a sign of maturity not to compromise justice because of personal grudges. You Now you are the representative of the Beiting Protectorate in Chang'an. I believe in your ability and integrity."
"The Prime Minister thinks highly of me!" Zhang Qingyun sat down with a smile and looked directly at Wei Zhengdao. : "Prime Minister, you must be clear about what happened in Shuzhong now. It was us, Li Duhu, who led the team to Yinping, climbed over Motian Ridge, and captured Jiangyou Pass."
"Li Duhu used his skills well. Wu De and Zhang Songlin were won over without knowing it. Now that the deal is done, what else is there to say?" Wei Zhengdao was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "However, I believe that Li Duhu and Xiao Duhu are still loyal to each other. From the imperial court, on this basis, we can still cooperate, right?”
"Of course!" Zhang Qingyun said: "That's why I came. Minister Wei, Li Duhu is in Chang'an now. If you are interested, the two parties can meet and discuss the future cooperation."
< br>"Miss Qingyun must have arranged a place, right? Are you here to inform me today?" Wei Zhengdao took a deep breath and said slowly.
Zhang Qingyun was not polite at all, and said straightforwardly: "Yes!"
A look of anger flashed in his eyes, but he immediately regained his composure.
Situation is stronger than people.
At present, Linghuye's army is gathering at Longmen Ferry. What they are waiting for is the freezing of the Yellow River. When the freeze is solid, the army will naturally set off.
There is not much time left for yourself.
We must reach an agreement with Li Dachui before Linghuye's army begins to attack.
I don’t know what the current Chang’an City has become after being infiltrated by Li Dachui, but what is certain is that in the current Chang’an, Li Dachui must be quite powerful.
If you want to defend Chang'an, you must unite all forces.
Li Dachui's current power is enough to influence the situation in the world.
This is especially true for Linghuye.
Linghuye could give up outside the customs and enter the customs to fight for the world, why couldn't Li Dachui?
What's more, the conditions for troops from outside the Pass to enter the Pass are much better than those at Linghuye's time. At least now Beiyuan no longer has the ability to covet the land outside the Pass.
So once this alliance is announced, Linghuye will have to reconsider his decision to attack Chang'an.
There is a great possibility that his troops will turn to Luoyang, and he will go to Luoyang first and then talk about other things.
In this way, the status between himself and Luoyang would be reversed immediately. Zhang Quanyi would have to beg him instead of begging Zhang Quanyi to launch an offensive in Luoyang to share the pressure on Chang'an.
"Xuandu Temple!" Zhang Qingyun said: "We have decided on the location, and the time will be decided by the prime minister. This seems fair, right?" "It's better to choose a day than to hit it, let's do it tomorrow!"
“I’m afraid it won’t work tomorrow!”
"Why, didn't you say that Li Dachui is in Chang'an?"
"We all went out to kill someone!" Zhang Qingyun shook his head and said: "I don't know if he will be able to come back in time tomorrow. Let’s make an appointment!”
Wei Zhengdao is a little strange. With Li Dachui’s current status, who else is worthy of killing him personally?
Especially in Chang'an.
“Who did he go to kill?”
"He Bing!" Zhang Qingyun spat out two words, which made Wei Zhengdao change his color. Huo Di stood up and said in a voiceless voice: "Why did he go to kill He Bing? Did He Bing offend him? You know Is He Bing going to Luoyang this time to persuade Zhang Quanyi to launch a campaign in Luoyang to share the pressure of Chang'an? The two of them are from Heibingtai and have a relationship. Now that He Bing dies, I am afraid that Zhang Quanyi will die and he will not be with him. We cooperated."
After a moment's pause, Wei Zhengdao continued: "Wu De has become your man. There is a quarrel between Zhang Quanyi and Wu De. Do you know?"
Zhang Qingyun smiled lightly. Said: "Then the prime minister knows that He Bing is ready to abandon the prime minister and go to Nanchu?"
"What?" Wei Zhengdao's eyes were full of disbelief.
"If the Prime Minister sends someone to check now, it will be found that He Bing's family is no longer in the other courtyard of Lishan. The house has long been empty! If we check more closely, we can find them all the way. There are traces of going south, and before that, He Bing’s younger brother He Yu had already gone south with the secret of Black Ice Platform, preparing to go to Nanchu!”
"How do you know?"
"Because we have been monitoring He Bing!" Zhang Qingyun said: "Li Duhu feels that this person is unreliable, especially at this stage, this person and the Prime Minister Different, there is no determination to live and die with Chang'an, and if Chang'an really falls, a behemoth like the Wei family may only lose power. Linghuye still needs to win over you, but a small family like the He family will definitely. He was punished by his clan to appease the anger of those in Hedong and Hexi. If he doesn't run away, how long will it take? >Zhang Qingyun smiled and took out a stack of papers from his arms and said: "This is what our people found after catching He Yu. There is also this person's confession. A person like the Prime Minister should know it at first sight. True or false!"
Opening the stack of papers with hesitation, Wei Zhengdao became more and more frightened as he read.
"Damn it!" He slammed the case file onto the table.
"If He Yu is allowed to go to Nanchu, all these elaborate projects that Da Qin has put so much effort into in Nanchu will be lost!" Zhang Qingyun said: "Decades of hard work will be destroyed in one day. , Shouldn’t such a person be killed?”
“He should be killed!” Wei Zhengdao said angrily.
"Don't worry, Mr. Prime Minister, this person will definitely not survive!" Zhang Qingyun said with a smile: "Just to be sure, my guardian took action personally. Once someone like He Bing defected, it would do too much harm to our Great Qin. It’s serious. Not only will we lose manpower, but Da Qin’s face will also be lost!”
“In three days, then!” Wei Zhengdao stood up: “In three days, I will take Hong Zhan with me. Let’s go together. Li Duhu must understand this!”
"Okay!" Zhang Qingyun stood up, bowed and bowed: "Then Qingyun will say goodbye. I'll see you in Xuandu Temple three days later."
Looking at Zhang Qingyun's slim figure disappearing from her In front of him, Wei Zhengdao sat back on his chair with some dejection.
He Bing's defection should be true and not made up by the other party. However, such a thing would hit him even harder, and he would have less bargaining power in front of Li Dachui.
Zhang Quanyi is aloof from him, and because of He Bing's betrayal, Hei Bingtai will all fall into the hands of Wu De, that is, into the hands of Li Dachui.
Wei Zhengdao knows the importance of intelligence very well.
Thirty years ago, had it not been for Kou Zhong controlling the Black Ice Platform, the Chang'an coup would never have gone so smoothly.
When one party is made deaf and dumb, the other party can really do whatever he wants.
The deaths of Kou Zhong and He Bing made Heibingtai, an intelligence agency that could originally be relied upon, no longer trustworthy.
Because in the future, the information they give themselves will most likely be what they want them to know.
Wei Zhengdao suddenly found that he was getting deeper into a big net called Li Dachui step by step. The further back he went, the more he was in danger of being unable to extricate himself.
But do you have a choice?
After thinking about it, I had no choice.
If you can't even get through the current crisis, how can you have a chance to talk about the future?
