『PS: Today I found that the innermost teeth on the upper row on the right were broken halfway. I always thought it was a good tooth. Oh, I was in a bad mood. In short, I had to repair this tooth first."

————The following text——

Just one day later, the censor Zhang Wei returned to Kunyang County, and at this point, the censor Zhang had done almost the same evidence collection.

When he was about to return to Handan, Zhao Yu held another banquet to entertain him. This time he also called the tiger-bearing Zhonglang Jin Xun, who was acting as if nothing had happened.

In view of this, Zhao Yu did not expose it, as if he didn't know that Jin Xun had met Cai Zheng privately.

The next morning, the censor Zhang Wei took his escort entourage to leave Kunyang, and Zhao Yu and Li Feng went to see him off.

During this period, Zhao Yu also gave him some dumplings and jerky meat for use on the way. The Censor Zhang refused again and finally returned the money and only accepted the jerky meat and jerky food.

I have to say that Zhao Yu has a good impression of this censor who was upright and did not forget to privately remind Zhao Yu not to interfere in the royal affairs before leaving.

On his way to bid farewell to Yushi Zhang and return to Heihu Mountain, Li Feng also offered his farewell to Zhao Yu.

He said to Zhao Yu: "Brother, I have to go back to Yecheng as I think about it, and maybe I have to go to Handan again... My father lacks opinions on some things, so I have to go back to see it. Xiangrui, please ask me for the time being."

Zhao Yu nodded and agreed.

When the two returned to Heihu Mountain, Li Feng went to meet his sister Princess Xiangrui and asked the latter to say goodbye.

The heartless Princess Xiangrui did not react much to this, which made Li Feng smile bitterly.

On that day, Zhao Yu took Guo Da, Niu Heng and others to get drunk with Li Feng. The next day, Li Feng took his entourage and guards to leave Kunyang County and embarked on a journey back to Yecheng.

At this point, only the Hu Ben Zhonglang Jin Xun and the one thousand Hu Ben Army led by him were left.

To be fair, Zhao Yu actually felt that Jin Xun was a potential threat. Although this person had not made any moves that were not conducive to the princess or Zhao Yu, this was not enough to prove anything. It was just that the other party had the emperor's order and could not return to Handan without authorization, and Zhao Yu could not drive him away. He could only let him take the thousand Tiger Army to station at the foot of Heihu Mountain until Handan reacted.

The only thing Zhao Yu could do was ask the wolves and Chen Mo, who were stationed in Xiangcun, to stare at him.

After dealing with the above, Zhao Yu took Niu Heng, He Shun and others to Kunyang County again, and came to the once Black Tiger House to meet Dong Er, who had been away from for a long time, and Zhang Zhai, the former Nanyang Canal Envoy.

On this day, when Zhao Yu and his group arrived in front of the former Black Tiger House in Kunyang City, Dong Er, who received the notice in advance, was waiting outside the House with several Black Tiger people.

What surprised Zhao Yu was that Dong Er was still dressed as a black tiger crowd and had a black scarf tied around his head.

"Dong Er."

"Zhou Duwei."

After Zhao Yu got off the horse, he smiled at Dong Er who was coming forward and said, "I haven't seen each other for several months, I've lost a lot of weight."

Dong Er smiled a little shyly and explained: "There are more difficult days in Nanyang."

Zhao Yu has heard of this a little.

According to what he knew, there were still small groups of Jingchu in Nanyang County, and the remnants of the Changsha Yishi were fighting. Unfortunately, the number of people and combat effectiveness were far inferior to the original ones, so they were driven away by Wang Shangde's clan brother Wang Yan and fled everywhere. Many secret strongholds were also removed one by one, and life was difficult.

Similarly, the situation of the remnants of the Yishi Army in Jingchu is similar. In general, except for the Yishi Army in Jiangdong, the other Yishi Army have basically been crippled by various Jin troops. They have no one to ask for food and no food. Even Zhao Yu was a little surprised to be able to fight to this day.

"Emperor Zhou Du, Brother Zhang is in the house..."

After a few greetings with Zhao Yu, Dong Er lowered his voice and said to him.

Zhao Yu nodded and signaled Dong Er to lead the way for him.

After walking into the Yishe and coming to the second floor, Zhao Yu saw Zhang Zhai, the envoy in front of Nanyang Canal, standing at the corner. When he saw him, he bowed his hands and fists and took the initiative to salute: "Captain Zhou...or, Zhou Duwei?"

"Brother Zhang, don't be fine."

Zhao Yu smiled and bowed his hand back, while secretly observing the old acquaintance in front of him.

When he first met Zhang Zhai a few years ago, Zhang Zhai was not so energetic, but at least he was quite energetic, which made people see at a glance that this person was not simple.

However, Zhang Zhai, whom I saw today, was much older than that day, with sunken eyes and bony skin. You can tell at a glance that it was known for a long time to get tired, and even his hair and beard were a little gray.

It was just a few years before, when a strong man was like a little old man, it was not difficult to guess the heavy blow caused by the defeat of the righteous master.

While Zhao Yu was secretly looking at Zhang Zhai, Zhang Zhai was also secretly looking at Zhao Yu.

Compared to Zhao Yu's feelings, Zhang Zhai's mood became more and more complicated.

You should know that Zhao Yu's Black Tigers were just the "mountain forces" in Kunyang County. After only a few hundred people were killed, how could he be as good as his charity master of tens of thousands?

It is precisely because of this that Zhang Zhai's show of kindness and appeal to Zhao Yu back then actually had a sense of looking down on him - he concluded that Zhao Yu would eventually join his invincible righteous army in the future and become a general of his righteous army.

But who would have thought that in just a few years, things changed, his invincible powerful righteous army was broken by the Jin army. On the other hand, Zhao Yu, who had only had to look down on him, has now become the commander of Yingchuan County.

Even according to Dong Er, this Zhou Duwei had secretly controlled more than 80% of the entire Yingchuan County and tens of thousands of troops.

Although this force is still not as powerful as any other place in the past, it is almost the same.

Comparing the situation between the two sides, Zhang Zhai couldn't help but sigh, shook his head and said, "The dying person cannot deserve the title of "Brother Zhang" in the leader of Zhou."

Hearing Zhang Zhai's sigh, Zhao Yu naturally understood that the other party was in a complicated mood. He raised his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, what should I do before you sit down? Have a few drinks."

"Okay." Zhang Zhai nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Zhao Yu and Zhang Zhai sat down next to a small case, and He Shun and Dong Er were sitting beside each other.

As for Niu Heng, Gong Jiao and others, they went downstairs to drink with a group of Black Tigers.

Now, when the food and drinks are served after a while, the sound of wine and cups sounded from the bottom of the building, and Niu Heng's cheerful laughter was also accompanied by Niu Heng's joyful laughter.

He shook his head secretly. Zhao Yu took the wine pot and poured a cup of hot wine for Zhang Zhai and himself. During the period, he asked casually: "...... Since then, Brother Zhang has been staying in Nanyang?"

Zhang Zhai naturally understood what Zhao Yu's words "Since then", nodded and said silently: "Originally, Jingchu and Changsha's two charity troops could still last for a while, but we underestimated Xue Ao's courage. According to people, Xue Ao led thousands of cavalry into the Changsha's charity troops that day. Xue Ao himself even killed Guan Shuo with only dozens of cavalry..."

At the end, he sighed and felt as if he was still incredible.

To be honest, Zhao Yu also had an unreal feeling about Xue Ao's courage, even though he had witnessed Xue Ao's heroic deeds of killing 40,000 Yu Zhang Yishi's righteous masters by leading only a few thousand cavalry.

In that battle, Xue Ao personally killed more than ten generals of Yuzhang Yishi, who were almost unscathed and were so powerful that he was not as powerful as a human.

Zhao Yu is not unfamiliar with his powerful force, such as Niu Heng and Chen Mo, who are the first-class generals.

When it comes to fighting alone, Xue Ao suffered a small loss when he was fighting with Niu Heng - in fact, a piece of skin was worn off in the palm of his hand, but as a cavalry general, Xue Ao's lethality on the battlefield refreshed Zhao Yu's cognition again and again.

Although Xue Ao has repeatedly claimed in a boastful tone that he is "the strongest in the world", giving people a sense of unreality, in fact, he is really, so far, Zhao Yu has never heard of a powerful general like Xue Ao.

If so, then there is only Taishi Chen who has been regressing for thirty years.

"Guan Shuo..."

Zhao Yu smacked his lips and gave an evaluation: "It's too arrogant."

"Oh."

Zhang Zhai nodded as if laughing.

Of course, he knew why Zhao Yu evaluated Guan Shuo's arrogance, because it was Guan Shuo's arrogance that led to his defeat in Kunyang that year and was defeated by the Zhou Duwei in front of him.

If Guan Shuo could restrain himself a little at that time, and agreed to the conditions of the Zhou Duwei in front of him, and promised not to infringe on the three counties of Kunyang, Xiangcheng and Runan, perhaps the uprising of his righteous army might not be the result of this now.

He sighed and said, "Guan Shuo is a little arrogant, but since he learned a lesson from the Zhou Duwei, he has actually restrained a lot... As far as I know, Guan Shuo actually knows Xue Ao's power and has wanted to avoid his sharp edge. But who would have thought that even thousands of troops could not stop Xue Ao, and he chased him to the death. Guan Shuo had no choice but to fight to the death. Unfortunately..."

『This is really...』

Zhao Yu nodded, a little sympathetic to Guan Shuo.

After all, he could imagine how desperate it would be to be targeted by such powerful generals as Xue Ao.

He took a sip of wine and waited for Zhang Zhai to continue the story.

Zhang Zhai did not let Zhao Yu wait for a long time, and then said: "...As soon as Guan Shuo died, the Changsha Yishi dispersed. The generals under his command died and fled, and they were all dispersed. In this way, the Jingchu Yishi was unable to support him, so he could only withdraw from Jingchu... At that time, I was injured and fled into a village in the mountains to hide under the protection of my confidants, and escaped by luck. When I woke up, Nanyang had changed his appearance..."

He closed his eyes as if he was recalling memories for a while, and said with a sad look on his face: "After half a month, when I could barely stay, I saw the Nanyang Army arresting the soldiers of my charity army everywhere. If there was a slight resistance, I would slaughter... "

“…”

Zhao Yu opened his mouth and finally took a sip of wine with a cup.

After all, he really didn't comment on the massacre in Zhang Zhai's mouth. First, he had never seen it with his own eyes. Perhaps it was just Zhang Zhai who exaggerated it to win his sympathy. Second, even the Nanyang Army's massacre of the soldiers of the righteous army was not wrong. After all, both sides were originally hostile.

"What are the plans for elder brother in the future?" He changed the subject.

Zhang Zhai did not answer immediately. After looking at Zhao Yu, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said with a smile: "When it comes to this, Zhang must thank Zhou Duwei... Thank you for treating my soldiers of the righteous army well. A while ago, when Dong Er found me, I couldn't believe that Zhou Duwei actually protected so many soldiers of my righteous army..."

"Hey, hey, this guy didn't want to flatter me, and then take Yu Zhong to my Yingchuan County, right?"

Zhao Yu looked at Zhang Zhai with a strange look and said quietly: "Brother Zhang's thank you, Zhou can't afford it... Zhou just took over some surrendered soldiers and took them to the fields. Of course, if these surrendered soldiers were willing to give up their previous identities and surrender to me Yingchuan, Zhou would naturally be willing to give them freedom and incorporate them into my Yingchuan County's hometown... All of the above are for Yingchuan considerations, not for benevolence or righteousness, but they cannot afford to be praised by Brother Zhang."

"oh?"

Zhang Zhai's eyes changed slightly, and I don't know if he understood Zhao Yu's hint.

He said in surprise: "The current leader of Zhou is no longer the same day. It is rare to be willing to condescend to the next call of 'Brother Zhang'... Zhang was very puzzled. Why did the Duwei of Zhou agree to meet with him? The leader of Zhou should know that Zhang Zhai is now a wanted criminal in Nanyang Ju County... Isn't the leader of Zhou afraid of being implicated?"

"That's right." Zhao Yu thought about it and said calmly: "But in the time of crisis, Zhou was fortunately helped by Brother Zhang. This kind of kindness Zhou was unforgettable... Although Zhou may not be able to provide any help to his elder brother now, if he was unwilling to see Brother Zhang, wouldn't that be ungrateful?"

"Chief Zhou..."

Dong Er, who was sitting behind Zhang Zhai, seemed to hear something, and wanted to interrupt with a look of ugly expression, but Zhang Zhai raised his hand to stop him.

Zhang Zhai looked at Zhao Yu deeply, and suddenly said with a smile: "I don't care about the leader of Zhou, Zhang can understand countless people, but I really can't see through leader Zhou... Maybe the leader Zhou doesn't know that before Zhang came to see leader Zhou, he had actually inquired about it in Yingchuan."

"Oh?" Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhang can't trust Zhou so much?"

Zhang Zhai shook his head, nodded again, then curled his smile and said seriously: "Don't blame Zhou Duwei, I, Zhang Zhai, will die if I die, is not worth mentioning, but I have to seek a way out for the remaining brothers under my command, and I cannot be despised for the time being..."

Zhao Yu nodded slightly.
