Chapter 79 Old Friends
After some discussion, everything was finally explained clearly. After finding out, he learned that Xu Shide was Di Renjie who had been ordered to be executed by Wu Zetian. He couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Well, I can finally have a good sleep."
"Sir, you are relieved, but I am in trouble," Zhou You said slightly depressed.
When Di Renjie heard this, he couldn't help being slightly surprised and said: "Oh? You have made a great contribution this time, is it possible that His Majesty will still embarrass you?"
"His Majesty didn't make things difficult for me. He rewarded me heavily and made me the leader of the Imperial Guard House," Zhou You said helplessly, shaking his head.
"Leader of the Imperial Guard House?" Upon hearing Zhou You's words, Li Yuanfang, Xiao Hong and Zeng Tai were all surprised.
Especially Zeng Tai, who had no backer and chose to join the inner guard for the sake of his official career. He was just an ordinary peripheral member of the inner guard. Now seeing that Zhou You suddenly became the leader of the inner guard at such a young age, he couldn't help but feel...
Emotionally complex.
"You don't want to be the leader of the inner guard mansion?" Di Renjie also looked at Zhou You with a frown and asked.
"No, after all, he is a fourth-rank official with great power." Zhou You shook his head lightly and said, "It's just that the reputation of the inner guards is not very good after all. Now that I have become the leader of the inner guards, I am afraid that I will inevitably have more troubles in the future.
Already."
When Li Yuanfang heard this, he immediately lost his temper and said, "You guys are so hypocritical! Isn't it because the emperor is interested in promoting you? Why are you showing off to us?"
"Haha... you can see this?" Zhou You smiled and said: "How about I go and talk to the emperor and let you change it, and you will be the leader of the inner guard palace.
How about I become the commander-in-chief of the Qianniu Guard?"
"Sir, look at him, he can't be serious in just a few words," Li Yuanfang complained to Di Renjie helplessly after hearing this.
"Okay, okay," Di Renjie also smiled dumbly, and then said sternly to Zhou You: "Zhou You, no matter what position you are in, I just want to tell you that in everything you do, just do it with a clear conscience. Don't worry too much about anything else.
!”
After hearing this, Zhou You nodded slightly and said sternly to Di Renjie, "Yes, I remember it. Thank you for the tip!"
Now that the matter in Huzhou has been settled, Zhou You, Di Renjie, and Li Yuanfang quickly returned to Beijing to report on their work after inspecting the states and counties in Jiangnan.
Zhou You also officially started working in the Internal Guard Mansion, and even received a special reward from Wu Zetian, who gave him a nice mansion in Luoyang City. After some exchanges with Di Renjie, Zhou You also moved from Luoyang Di Mansion to his own residence.
Went to live in the new mansion.
In order to express his gratitude to Zhou You, Prince Li Xian even gave Xiaohong to Zhou You. Thinking that no one was taking care of his huge mansion, Zhou You accepted the gift unceremoniously and asked her to manage the house for him.
In fact, Prince Li Xian may have learned about Xiaohong and Liu Chuanlin and felt that the girl had become wild-minded after leaving the palace, so he no longer wanted to keep her by his side, so he gave her to Zhou You to make friends with Wu Zetian.
The new celebrity next to me.
As for Xiaohong and Liu Chuanlin, they may have some friendship like their first love, but with the incident in Liujiazhuang happening like that, they are no longer destined to be together.
In order to say goodbye to the past, Xiao Hong also changed her name. At Zhou You's suggestion, she took the word "yu" and became one of Zhou You's concubines. She was called Mrs. Jade by the maids and servants in the mansion.
After all, the prince still has to give some face, and he cannot really use the people he sends as housekeepers and maids. Since they have been given the status of a concubine, there is no need to pretend to be serious.
Although Yu'er was married and had a man, according to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty could even bring his daughter-in-law into the palace. It was not a big deal to take a concubine like Yu'er around. Speaking of the Three Kingdoms
Cao Cao is still a mature woman!
With his own place and woman, Zhou You felt like he had a new home in this world.
In a short period of time, both Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang stayed in the capital city to accompany them. Zhou You also slowly adapted to his status as the leader of the Imperial Guard House and the life in Luoyang City.
The government was stable, and the internal guards generally had nothing too important to do, so it was relatively leisurely for the newly appointed ministers to travel around the internal guards. However, this leisure did not last long, and was broken by sudden changes.
It coincides with the thunderstorm weather in Luoyang, the sacred capital. The heavy rain for days and the dark sky make people feel a little depressed.
On a thunderstorm day, even in broad daylight, almost no one can be seen on the streets. The huge city of Luoyang is as empty and dark as a ghost town.
However, in a secluded alley in the city, there was a figure running away in panic. Rain splashed under his feet, and a flash of lightning flashed, faintly reflecting the person's frightened and pale face. While running, he looked back.
The man's eyes suddenly widened as if he had seen a ghost.
At the same time, a black phantom was approaching like a ghost. The man was frightened and wanted to dodge in a hurry, but the black shadow appeared behind him. The stiff man looked down and saw a figure.
The blood-stained sword tip was already exposed from his chest.
Just when the figure shrouded in black robes drew his sword and was about to turn away, he suddenly stopped and turned to look, only to see a man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat walking towards the end of the alley.
"Old friend, come to the capital of the gods and kill my people, why don't you leave without saying hello?" The cold voice was clearly audible in the sound of rain. The man in the raincoat raised his head, and there was a man under the bamboo hat.
A face that was familiar to Zhang Heipao was none other than Zhou You.
The figure, appearance, and aura of the man in black robe are also familiar to Zhou You. It is the Viper Tiger Jinghui who was let go by Zhou You in Youzhou.
"Why don't you hide your name and live a peaceful life? Why do you still appear in the capital of gods?" Looking at the silent black-robed man Viper, Zhou You couldn't help but ask: "I believe Hu Jinghui is a man of his word.
Bloody man Youxin, the reason why you are here is because of her, right? She died once, isn't she still awake?"
"Since you have guessed it, why bother asking again?" Viper finally spoke, with the same cold tone: "You should know her better than me, right?"
"You alone can't stir up any trouble. What kind of force is behind you? In other words, who are they? Why are you massacring the internal guards?" Zhou You then asked.
Viper was slightly silent before saying: "You are still so smart! Fortunately, although the man I killed was very cunning and wanted Jin Chan to escape his shell, he almost let him run away, but in the end I caught up and killed him.
Therefore, I’m afraid he won’t be able to deliver the news you want.”
"It allows you to personally take action and go to the capital of God to kill people and silence them. It seems that what you are planning is not a big deal," Zhou You said noncommittally.
"I really can't understand why you, a bold and bloody man in the world, are willing to sacrifice your life for Wu Zetian?" Viper asked without answering.
Zhou You also asked back: "What about you? Who are you working hard for? If the people behind you can defeat Wu Zetian, they won't hide their heads and act secretly."
"Don't try to trick me. I'm just following orders. I don't know the specific situation," Viper shook his head and paused before continuing: "I can only tell you that Wu Zetian will die soon. You guys
