Cheng Zongyang patted the IOU on the case and said with a heartache:

It depends on the unethical things you did!

Cai Jingzhong was not panicked at all, but sighed:

Nangong's colleagues were too poor and took a little money seriously, and they thought it was so sad...

Cai Jingzhong shook his head and sighed, slowly tearing the IOUs into pieces.

Cheng Zongyang stared at the pile of paper slags that were too broken to pieces. After a while, he looked up at him and said with an incredible look:

What's going on? What about the IOU?

Cai Jingzhong scoffed,

I got all the IOUs, and I still want to take them away? Do they think I, Cai Jingzhong, are easy to bully? Dreaming!

Brother! I know you are a cheerful person! But I am a middleman! You are so happy when you fight, how can I explain to them?

Just say I'll write another copy for them

Cheng Zongyang was speechless, Gao Ah, really Gao Xu Huang and the others had Zhang Baitiao at least, but now even Baitiao was gone. If Xu Huang believed him, he would be lucky enough to be the most powerful day. I would probably have to wait until the day when he entered the coffin. Cai Jingzhong was kind enough to burn the IOU to them.

Brother, Cheng Zongyang said with great sincerity:

I am not a good person who is abusing the good intentions, but this is true. I think you can’t do this. If you think giving money to them will make you feel confused. I’ll pay it back for you!

Cai Jingzhongdao:

Do you still have money?

Cheng Zongyang became alert,

What's the meaning?

Cai Jingzhong took out a piece of cardboard from his arms and spread it to both sides. A paper building jumped out.

I think the elevator you mentioned last time is interesting. If the experimental building is too high, it usually takes time to go up and down, and the two are too tired. Although I don’t have the electricity you mentioned, the principles are the same. I thought about it. The experimental building is located by the river and can be completely driven by hydraulic power...

Wait! What you mean is: you would rather install a hydraulic lift in your laboratory building to save some effort to go upstairs than pay back the money, right?

Cai Jingzhong thought about it,

You can understand this, but I must tell you that it is not the point of paying back the money, the point is that Cai Jingzhong raised a finger,

efficiency

I will tell you this word!

But I think it’s right that time is money, efficiency is life? How about you tell me to give them some time? I have a medicine that can give them one more hour of sleep every day, which is said to be gold without changing...

Cheng Zongyang said decisively:

Let’s talk about the serious matter who was the woman who entered the toilet just now?

Princess Jiangdu, named Cheng Guangna, married for less than a month

Cheng Zongyang couldn't even ask Xu Huang, but he had no scruples in front of Cai Jingzhong.

That's wrong. Cheng Zongyang whispered:

I was standing in the middle at that time, and when I turned around, I could see the expression of Prince Jiangdu. He shouted, "Help, but the joy in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Cai Jingzhongdao:

Maybe it was because the beautiful woman was attacked by a wild boar in the toilet, which made him excited. Among the princes, all kinds of people have

Cai Jingzhong's words are so unreliable. How could he look forward to his wife's death so early? At least he has to spend his honeymoon? Then again, what's this kind of pervert? I've seen someone who is not good at the emperor and is a beggar.

Cai Jingzhongdao:

I have seen someone who is inappropriate to the princes and insists on changing their names and surnames to be a beggar.

Cheng Zongyang said in surprise:

Who is so perverted?

Jiaoxi King Liu Duan

Which one grows grass in the royal residence?

The royal residence in the capital is pretty good, and all the palaces in his fiefdom collapsed.

Why did it collapse? Even if he couldn't live, his wife and children would have to live, right?

Cai Jingzhong waved his hand,

Not to mention these, let’s talk about the real laboratories…

Let’s ask you what the Prince of Jiangdu said afterwards?

Cai Jingzhong said helplessly:

It's nothing I think of him, he wants to be the prince

What?

Isn’t Prince Zhao dead?

Dead?

Oh, he was still alive, but he was still dead.

Where is the emperor?

The emperor likes him very much

Cheng Zongyang was silent for a while, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. He and Qin Hui judged that Liu Ao should be King Dingtao, but King Dingtao was just a baby after all, and it is likely to die prematurely. Prince Jiangdu gave birth to a good look and was gentle and polite. Liu Ao has always had a good impression of handsome men. For example, Zhang Fang, Hou Fuping, favored him and loved him. If he chose Prince Jiangdu, it would be really not a surprise.

What is the name of Prince Jiangdu...?

Liu Jian

King Jiangdu...Liu Jian... Cheng Zongyang muttered several times, suddenly stood up and almost knocked down several cases in front of him.

Do it! Cheng Zongyang shouted:

You've got it right! That guy is such a pervert!

Cheng Zongyang went to the residence of the Jiangdu King to issue an edict, and met the carriage of the Jiangdu King at the Yuanmen. However, he had no special feelings about the title of the Jiangdu King. Until this time, the words "Jiangdu King" and Liu Jian were put together, and he finally realized that Liu Jian, the King of Jiangdu, was Liu Jian!

The prince did not occupy a long time in historical books, but every word was disgusting and excited some people in just a few hundred words, covering all kinds of abuse and perverted sexual behaviors, so that as long as someone wrote about the history of sexual perversion in later generations, Liu Jiandu, the King of Jiangdu, was definitely an unavoidable person. In terms of content and depth, they were far above any emperor.

Cheng Zongyang can't remember the specific records of Jiangdu King Liu Jian in historical books, but he can be sure of three things: First, the excitement in Liu Jian's eyes was real, and he did not read it wrong; Second, Liu Jian did not dislike Queen Cheng Guang, on the contrary, the two probably had common interests and hobbies; Third, as Cai Jingzhong said, he was excited because of the beauty, the toilet and the wild boar, especially the latter. If Liu Jian succeeded to the throne, Zhao Fei Yàn would be finished.

Suddenly, Cheng Zongyang felt a stern heart, took a deep breath, and the chills came from behind

He suddenly remembered why he saw Cheng Guang at first sight, and felt that she was a little familiar with her beauty. There was a unique temperament similar to that of Quan Yuji and Ning Yuji.

This speculation was too shocking, making Cheng Zongyang speechless for a moment

Lord?

Cheng Zongyang pinched Cai Jingzhong's wrist,

You go and say to the queen, leave Shanglinyuan immediately and return to Changqiu Palace, I will escort it!

Cai Jingzhong didn't ask much, but picked up the newly built model and put it carefully in his hands.

Financial resources are limited, so you must spend it right away!

…………………………

The Zhao King's witchcraft incident broke out, and an unexpected storm was launched between the government and the country. Jiang Chong, the embroidered envoy, replaced Dong Wohu overnight, becoming an existence that people in Luodu were terrified.

First, Zhao's mansion was conferred, and King Zhao committed suicide. Crown Prince Liu Dan and Zhao Hounaoji entered Beisi Prison. Then Pingchengjun and Princess Yangshi's mansion were excavated successively. Pingchengjun was imprisoned and Princess Yangshi committed suicide.

With Jiang Chong's investigation, more and more puppets were discovered. On the first day, hundreds of puppets were dug out at the Imperial Road, Anfu Hall, Yongchun Hall, Jiande Hall of Nangong, etc. The eunuch in charge of the palace ordered Su Wen to abandon the market, and Da Changqiu Huang Jin in the Empress's harbor...

Not only that, Jiang Chong also took Hu Wu to look at the energy in the capital. Once he found out where there were traces of witchcraft, he immediately broke into the door and dug three feet into the ground. In one day, Luo Du was implicated and imprisoned. The prison, which had just been executed, was once again overcrowded.

Grand Marshal Lu Ji personally inquired about the case, and the handling was even more decisive. As long as the crime was conclusive, he would be executed without mercy. There were dozens of people who had been executed. However, this was just the beginning. More people were questioned in prison. The criminal law of the Han Dynasty has always been strict and often killed by the clan. Once a prison emerged, not only thousands of people had been imprisoned, but also the relatives and retainers of the King of Zhao who were far away in Zhao were afraid that none of them would escape.

In the bloody storm, the emperor went out to hunt, which caused a lot of criticism and even rumors that when the Grand Sima was busy with the case, the emperor took his queen, who was a singer, to have fun in Shanglinyuan. It was precisely because of his concern for the queen that Grand Sima Lu executed only one Da Changqiu, and then ended the search for the Queen's bedroom Changqiu Palace.

Shilin talked a lot about this, and some people thought that the Queen Zhao was the mastermind of the witchcraft case, and the purpose was to curse the Queen Mother.

Just amid the criticism, Cheng Zongyang accompanied the queen's car to return to Luodu quietly

The curtain on the phoenix carriage was rolled up from all sides, and Zhao Fei Yàn was sitting in the car. She was wearing a golden phoenix hairpin and a pure white fur coat. Her slender body seemed to be weak and unpretentious. She was holding a scroll in her hand, and was quietly watching.

The wind is already carrying the coldness of early winter, but Zhao Fei Yàn still insists on rolling up the curtain because she has a foreign minister in the carriage. The great business of the Honglu Temple made her imagine that if she put down the curtain because of the cold, there would be unbearable rumors spread everywhere. Therefore, even if she is the queen, even if the weather is cold, she can only bear it.

All the eunuchs and palace ladies now know that the Daxing Order, named Cheng, was ordered by the emperor to send the queen's sister to the palace. Fortunately, they were too far away and could not hear the conversation between the two.

It was a portrait carefully drawn by Mao Yanshou for two days. It was painted on it. Zhao Hede, who was about to enter the palace, was rescued and was eager to make up for his achievements. This painting is a girl who was so dedicated to the painting. She smiled cleverly, was stunning, and was filled with an incomparable youthful atmosphere.

Zhao Fei Yàn looked at the scroll,

She's very beautiful

Not as good as Ling Mei. Cheng Zongyang said that Youtongqi is indeed very beautiful, but when he is with Zhao Hede, the light can't help but dim.

Is she okay?

Very good Cheng Zongyang didn't say much Although he hasn't been able to see Zhao Hede these days, for Zhao Hede, Shangqing Temple is the only safe place

Da Changqiu in my palace is dead. Zhao Fei Yàn sighed:

He just accidentally walked closer to me, and someone found out that there was a puppet hidden under the couch. Zhao Fei Yàn said helplessly:

Even my bed was dug up

Don't worry, this is just a sloppy warning they won't move your queen's seat easily

Is Ah where can there be a queen with a thinner family background than my family?

Cheng Zongyang was speechless and did not think that the plot against Zhao King was an unjust case, but it was too ridiculous to implicate Zhao Fei Yàn. The cursed puppets were indeed very good. Most of them were targeted by the emperor and the two princes who died. Only a few excavated by the Beigong were targeted by the empress dowager, but the source of those puppets was very suspicious. It is very likely that the Zhao King was not aware of whether some concubines were resentful to the empress dowager or simply fabricated by Jiang Chong. It is difficult to find out.

If you believe me, I will arrange someone beside her, Cheng Zongyang said:

If you have anything, you can contact me through her. In addition, the female Jiang Fu can trust her now, but I can't guarantee the rest of the palace except for the three of them.

I got it, Zhao Fei Yàn said:

You should be careful too

The curtain of the phoenix chariot fell, and Cheng Zongyang also retreated.

He raised his fists and sniffed to his cold fingers. In any case, the dominoes in the Han Dynasty had already fallen. Although the empress dowager and the emperor thought they could control the situation, Cheng Zongyang didn't think so.

Cheng Zongyang just escorted the queen's phoenix chariot back to Luodu, and heard a strange thing: King Jiangdu returned from Shanglinyuan and went to Yong'an Palace, crying and complaining about the empress dowager's imperial edict, asking for the title of the king, and voluntarily entering the palace as a guard, holding a halberd in front of the palace

My ministers live in a remote countryside, like a frog in the well and don’t return to Luodu. I don’t know that the emperor’s close ministers are so noble! The King of Jiangdu is old and cries without any image in front of the Empress Dowager.

Please ask the Queen Mother to allow the minister to enter the palace to be on duty!

Lu Zhi's face was as deep as water, and she patiently comforted the King of Jiangdu. She immediately sent an eunuch to Shanglinyuan and gave Fuping Hou a short sword.

It's his turn, Qin Hui said:

The Lü family is pressing step by step, eliminating the emperor's confidants one by one, and will never miss this opportunity.

Cheng Zongyang said:

I have never dealt with Fuping Hou, but I have never said that Fuping Hou has other skills. Such a slutty boy is not successful enough and has enough trouble. Eliminating him will only anger the emperor. In the overall situation, there seems to be no need to make the Queen Mother's move. I think it is a bit unnecessary.

Qin Hui reminded:

Did the lord forget the prince of Jiangdu? Although the empress dowager's move is useless, it is enough to make the emperor complain about the father and son of Jiangdu.

Cheng Zongyang suddenly realized

Still establish a crown prince! Although Fuping Hou was a little arrogant, he was just rude and scolded him for apologizing to King Jiangdu. However, Lu Zhi took advantage of the situation and directly sentenced to death. This was just getting rid of Liu Dan and being on guard against Liu Jian Ah...

If the Marquis of Fuping committed suicide because of this, the emperor's most resentment may not be the empress dowager. However, the king of Jiangdu, Liu Jian, who entered the palace to cry, wanted to succeed the throne. The first emperor would not agree to the empress dowager's move. In fact, he killed two birds with one stone, which not only eliminated the emperor's confidants, but also blocked the possibility of Liu Jian's inheritance.

Cheng Zongyang walked a few steps around the room.

What do you think about Cheng Guang?

According to the subordinates' opinions, the lord's concerns are mostly true.

I just feel, is there a reason?

The subordinates are the counter-reporter Qin Hui said:

All subordinates can see that the key to the Han Dynasty is that the emperor has no queen. How could the wisdom of Jian Yuji be inferior to this?

It's Ah, Cheng Zongyang can call Jian Yuji despicable and vulgar, and even say that she is a slut and a bitch, but she never dares to underestimate her IQ. The Black Demon Sea has been secretly managed in the Han Kingdom for many years. How could she not be prepared for the current situation? She doesn't show off her mountains and doesn't show off, and uses Yuji Nu to make a secret layout, and takes the lead without everyone's awareness. It's Jian Yuji's usual technique that can be imagined. If he didn't see Cheng Guang and became suspicious again, maybe when Liu Jian succeeded to the throne, he would still be in the dark.

So, Jian Yuji is also betting on the crown prince, but she is betting on the crown prince Liu Jian?

In addition to Liu Dan, Liu Jian is indeed the most likely

If this is the case, that is, the Empress Dowager broke Jian Yuji's plan with a casual blow?

Cheng Zongyang and Qin Hui looked at each other, and a thought arose in their minds: Lu Zhi and Jian Yuji face each other, who will win or lose these two women?

Interesting Cheng Zongyang said:

Let them have a fight, let's watch the show next to you first

…………………………

After receiving the short sword given by the Empress Dowager, Liu Ao was like the sky collapsed and the earth broke. He didn't care about hunting anymore and returned to Luodu overnight to ask for the Empress Dowager.

Although Lu Zhi was harsh to Liu Ao, many things still followed his thoughts. At that time, the emperor insisted on making Zhao Fei the queen. Although the empress dowager was unhappy, he did not stop him even more. This time, Lu Zhi was not lenient. The emperor held the short sword she gave to ask for help. Not only did Lu Zhi not take back his life, but he also gave white silk and poison wine one after another.

Fuping Hou was stunned and committed suicide, of course he refused. He entered the palace to apologize and did not dare to be killed by the empress dowager, even the emperor could not stop him.

So he asked for his father-in-law?

After all, Fuping Hou was young. When the empress dowager was frightened, he became confused. Xu Huang said as he raised the corners of his lips, obviously because Fuping Hou asked him to look at him proudly, and he probably made a big profit in the middle.

What is Eunuch Xu's idea? Could it be that my father-in-law came forward to beg for the Empress Dowager in person? Even though he said that, Cheng Zongyang did not believe at all, it was useless to even the emperor pleaded with him. Why should the Empress Dowager give a servant a face?

Xu Huang is self-aware.

Of course it's not just finding someone who can speak in front of the Queen Mother

Can you speak in front of the Queen Mother? Mrs. Hu?

Xu Huang was stunned,

Do you know Hu Qing?

I just heard of the personal maid who grew up with the Queen Mother

Xu Huang sighed,

It would be great if I could find her way

Who are the father-in-law going to find?

Xu Huang said with a smile:

Yingyang Hou is generous and has the heart of a kind person

Xu Huang actually thought of a way to find Lu Buyi?

Cheng Zongyang suddenly felt a little sympathetic to Xu Huang. If something else was happening, it might be a wonderful game to find Lu Buyi, but he obviously didn't know how deep the water was in this place was related to the founding of the crown prince. No matter how deep the friendship was, there was no mercy to talk about. What's more, as a slave to the emperor, how deep the friendship could Xu Huang have with those foreign relatives?

After talking about gossip, Xu Huang mentioned the important matter.

Those IOUs...

Don't worry, father-in-law! Cheng Zongyang patted his chest and said:

Shi Changshi Cai has already said that he will pay back all the money he owes you by the end of the month!

Xu Huang smiled with his eyebrows,

If you pay back the money, then you won’t be in a hurry and get a few more profits.

Cheng Zongyang was speechless after hearing this, Eunuch Xu was considered his own person, but why did he remember to eat or beat him? No wonder Cai Jingzhong sighed: If you don’t cheat someone like this, you will lose money and regret it when you think about it in the middle of the night.

Xu Huang was in a very good mood. In order to save his life, Fuping Hou took out a lot of money and looked for ways everywhere. He discussed with Zuo Qing in private. He thought that this shop was the queen mother's younger brother, and his reputation in Luodu was not bad. He sent a few eloquent confidants to use excuses such as killing noble people and hurting the queen mother Ling Yu. Maybe he could induce Ying Yang Hou to come forward and buy money from the life he took out, and he and Zuo Qing were half... It would be happy to think about it!

Xu Huang was thinking, and saw someone outside looking out, he smiled and waved his hand.

That big guy under your command is here, go

Cheng Zongyang went out, Ao Run hurried over,

Feng Dafa asked someone to send a message saying that a guest was visiting

Or the last time? Cheng Zongyang was a little curious.

Who is it?

Ao Run said:

He is a businessman, his surname is Cheng and Zheng said he is the old acquaintance of his lord

Cheng Zongyang suddenly said:

It turned out that he was strange...

Although Cheng Zheng and he are old acquaintances, they only meet once, and they are in a place like Youyetai. Unexpectedly, he became concerned. Not only did he visit him many times, he also gave him generous gifts. Even if he became an official, the Daxing official position that is completely unrelated to merchants will not be seen by others.

Cheng Zongyang was puzzled, and after thinking about it, he returned to his residence with Ao Run.

…………………………

Cheng Zheng is still the same, with a spring breeze on his face, laughing before he speaks, holding a box in his hand

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said:

It turns out it’s Brother Cheng, come here, what other gifts will you bring?

Cheng Zheng smiled and said:

This time my brother came to ask for a good friend, so he naturally had to follow the etiquette.

Brother Cheng said this and said it out loud. Just give me instructions if you have anything to do.

Brother Yu has something to say to his good brother... Cheng Zheng smiled and said:

They wanted me to explain that they recognized the wrong person that day, and they were not intentionally misunderstood, but all were misunderstandings.

Cheng Zongyang raised his eyes in surprise and tentatively said:

Long Chen?

Cheng Zheng sighed,

Most of my business is in Qingzhou. I dare not refuse when they find me, so I can only come to see my brother with shameless face.

Did they say that they recognized the wrong person? Or did Brother Cheng guess himself?

It's their original words

What about the money they robbed? Is it also a misunderstanding?

Cheng Zheng smiled and said:

My brother misunderstood that the matter of Qianzhu has nothing to do with them. This is a complete misunderstanding. I can guarantee that the money has nothing to do with them.

Cheng Zongyang said with a smile:

Do they mean to be prepared to compensate me for my losses?

This... Cheng Zheng glanced at Feng Yuan next to him

Feng Yuan knew the tactfulness and immediately stood up and said:

I'll go outside and take a look

After Feng Yuan left, Cheng Zheng then spoke:

Brother Zong Yang, this matter has nothing to do with me. What do they say? I will tell you the truth or falsehood. Brother himself thinks, but as far as I know, although they act unscrupulously, they never lie to deceive these things. Anyway, I passed the words to me to find Brother, but it was actually for my own private matters.

Cheng Zongyang was puzzled when he heard this. Long Chen died a lot of people. Not only did he not take revenge, he found a businessman and said that they had recognized the wrong person. All the things that happened that day were misunderstandings that Qian Zhu was not robbed by them, and the target of their actions was not himself. As for the dead, they didn't mention it at all, just pretending to be dead. Do they think they were Cai Jingzhong? They wanted to fool themselves without blinking?

Hearing the last sentence, Cheng Zongyang came to his senses.

What private matter?

Cheng Zheng sighed:

Brother, I am now facing difficulties, so I hope my brother can help me

Cheng Zheng’s difficulties are very simple. Recently, major cases in Luodu have occurred frequently. First, the Qin criminal escaped from prison, and then the Zhao King plotted against the rebellion, causing storms. The most unlucky group of them were considered businessmen from Qingzhou. They were doing business well, but they were inexplicably led by Jinwu to come to the door. As long as the shops opened by Qingzhou merchants were sealed, and no explanation has been given yet. Why? How to deal with it? When will it be opened? No explanation is

Qingzhou merchants were doing business in the Six Dynasties. In order to avoid oppression by local governments, they set up chambers of commerce and were responsible for separating all relationships. Moreover, Qingzhou merchants themselves were extremely sensitive, from kings and princes to the people, they all had their sources of information, but this time they could not find out what they said.

At this point, the Qingzhou Chamber of Commerce also knew that the matter was serious, Cheng Zheng was even more anxious. A batch of goods was blocked at Luoshui Wharf and was not allowed to go ashore. He threw golden baht into the water every day. He couldn't even hear the sound and did not hide it. He frankly said that he had found all the relationships he could find here, but there were still fewer people who were familiar with each other and went more, but no one could tell. Cheng Zheng was so anxious that he ran to the Chamber of Commerce three times a day.

The people in the Chamber of Commerce were not sure, so they could only use words to comfort everyone. When they were going back yesterday, they met a few merchants who were sympathetic. During the chat, Cheng Zheng mentioned that he had some contact with the house in Bu Guangli. At that time, he just said casually, "Who knew that when he went out, someone invited him to the next restaurant." Then someone said something and asked him to take him there as it was.

Cheng Zheng has been in Qingzhou for many years, so he naturally knows who can't afford to offend him. He responded carefully. Cheng Zongyang went to Shanglinyuan yesterday and waited for another day before he rushed to the door.

I know that we businessmen are concerned about bringing good news and not offending them. The most important thing is the batch of goods. Please help me, please help me.

Cheng Zongyang pondered for a moment. Although he was in charge of an official position, he was still a businessman in his bones. Naturally, he could understand the feelings of Cheng Zheng and others. He got news from Xu Huang and knew that seizing Qingzhou shop was the order of the empress dowager, but that was all. As for the reason, he was confused and wanted to come to Cheng Zheng to inquire about the same information as he knew. He couldn't figure out the key here.

Cheng Zongyang said slowly:

Brother Cheng, I have only heard a little about this. It’s not that I don’t want to help you. I really don’t say anything there, but I’m afraid the emperor will not speak.

Speaking of this, Cheng Zongyang has made it clear. How could Cheng Zheng not understand? Since even the emperor is not easy to speak, then there is only the empress dowager.

Hearing Cheng Zongyang say this, Cheng Zheng laughed instead.

Brother Yu also knows that one or two good brothers should be assured. I, Cheng Zheng, will never make things difficult for others. I lobby the palace and lift the ban on shops. I didn’t even dare to think about it.

Cheng Zongyang was curious when he heard it

Since Brother Cheng is not trying to unblock the store, what will happen?

Cheng Zheng put the box on the table and gently pushed it in front of Cheng Zongyang.

Brother Yu wants to send some industries to his wife

Cheng Zongyang looked at the wooden box and smiled slightly after a while.

Brother Cheng has high branches but doesn’t climb them, so why bother with me?

Cheng Zheng was stunned,

Why did you say this to me?

Cheng Zongyang swept the wooden box aside.

You might as well tell me that Brother Cheng is a clerk of the Lü family. I heard that he had invited Qingzhou to do black work under the Marquis of Xiangyi. After asking about my details, everyone met by chance. Suddenly, he gave such a big gift. What do you think?

Cheng Zheng subconsciously tapped the case with his fingers. After a long time, he suddenly stood up, took off his outer robe, exposed the jacket inside, and then used his short knife to disassemble a corner of the jacket and pulled out a thin piece of sheepskin.

Cheng Zongyang took it and spread it open, and his heart suddenly shook. There was a portrait printed on the sheepskin. It was the shadow mark left by the secret technique of the Shadow Moon Sect. On the sheepskin was a slightly haggard scholar. He smiled, but his eyes were filled with a sense of determination, just like the determination of a warrior walking to the battlefield and the destiny of death.

Looking at the smiling face on the sheepskin, Cheng Zongyang suddenly seemed to return to the battlefield with long spears and forests. The shocking war drums resounded throughout the grassland. The elites of the Six Dynasties who were not covered with food and the beasts and the Roman legions fought bloody arrows, galloping chariots, snow-like sword forests, lateral spears, dancing battle axes, falling eagles...

Cheng Zongyang almost thought he had forgotten everything. Until now, all his memories became alive. He seemed to smell the bloody smell in the battlefield, heard the war songs of the soldiers who were willing to die, and saw the figure of the scholar who seemed a little thin among the army...

Cheng Zongyang gently stroked the portrait on the sheepskin and whispered in his heart: Wen joined the army, long time no see...

Suddenly his eyes became hot, and long-lost tears rush out, falling on it drop by drop
