"Ahem!"
Zhang Feng drank a bowl of wine mysteriously.
He leaned back on the recliner and snorted a few times.
"There are some things that need more of this! If you don't use it, you'll lose it sooner or later! "
Zhang Feng pointed to his head.
These inexplicable words made Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng confused.
But seeing that Zhang Feng stopped talking about this matter, they could only jest with Zhang Feng for a while. After drinking, the two of them left contentedly.
But it was obvious that they left with a lot on their minds.
…
The Imperial Palace.
On the Vermilion Bird Bridge of the Imperial City.
Wei Zheng and Zhangsun Wuji squatted on the bridge in a daze.
They wanted to go to the Emperor, but they didn't dare to.
They could only sit here and think.
"Hey, old man, what do you think brother Zhang Feng meant by his last words?"
"He said you're brainless!"
"Get out!"
Zhangsun Wuji frowned and said, "I have a feeling that brother Zhang Feng always wanted to say something but stopped. Did you notice?"
"Yes!"
Wei Zheng nodded.
"That's really a rare thing. Didn't you talk about it in detail before? What's going on this time?"
"Is he really afraid of death?"
"Him?"
"Afraid of death?"
Zhangsun Wuji smiled.
"If this guy was afraid of death, he wouldn't have said those words in front of the Emperor. Think about it, if these words were said to others, who would still be alive?"
"That's true …"
The two of them fell into silence again.
However, at this moment.
From afar, a small yellow door ran over, gasping for breath.
"Prime Minister Wei! Lord Zhangsun! "
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty … "
The two of them were shocked. They took a closer look and found that this person turned out to be Xiao Guizi by the Emperor's side. They hurriedly got up and asked, "What's wrong with the Emperor?"
"Your Majesty … Your Majesty asked you to go see him!"
"…"
In the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the Imperial Garden.
Li Shimin sat on the soft couch and flipped through the memorials.
As for Zhangsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, they were like air, standing outside the pavilion with their bodies bowed under the sun, standing there.
Sweat and the effects of alcohol almost made the two of them faint.
However, the Emperor acted as if he didn't see the two of them and continued to read the memorials. Even Xiao Guizi, who was beside him, wanted to speak twice, but after thinking about it, he still closed his mouth.
After an unknown amount of time, just as the two were on the verge of collapsing, Li Shimin lightly coughed and dismissed the crowd, indicating for the two to enter the pavilion in the middle of the lake.
She handed a pot of herbal tea to the two of them and said with a playful expression, "I told you to do something, and you just sat on the Vermilion Bird Bridge to embarrass me?"
"No …"
"Your Majesty, you've wronged this old subject!"
"Oh?"
Li Shimin put down the memorials, looked at Zhangsun Wuji, and asked, "Then I'd like to hear how I've wronged you?"
"This old subject and Prime Minister Wei went to Zhang Feng's little tavern today."
"Oh!"
"I remember now."
"I still remember that the two of you ran wildly through the streets of Chang 'an City in a fit of pique. Is that true?"
The two of them couldn't help but lower their heads at this question.
Li Shimin said again, "I remember that the Chamberlains of Jin Wu secretly caught at least thirty people who were following you!"
"I'll say it one last time. Brother Zhang Feng is my brother. His safety cannot be compromised. If you're angry, I don't care. However, if you implicate Brother Zhang Feng, you know the consequences!"
Hearing this, the two of them hurriedly knelt on the ground.
"This subject knows his mistake!"
"Forget it, get up!"
"Sit!"
"Tell me, what did Brother Zhang Feng say?"
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief when they heard this, but they couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
More than thirty people who were following them?
This …
Weren't the Turks too arrogant?
If they secretly shot an arrow at them, then …
The two of them couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.
However, this was clearly not the time to think about this.
Wei Zheng collected his emotions and said, "Today, this subject and I have confirmed Brother Zhang Feng's identity. He's from Niangzi Pass. Your Majesty should have known that place at the time."
"Niangzi Pass?"
"Could he be a descendant of the Zhang clan?"
"Didn't I hear that his family was destroyed in a flood and landslide, and no one survived?"
Zhangsun Wuji thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, when this subject heard about this, I specially sent someone to Niangzi Pass to inquire about the young master of the Zhang clan. His whereabouts were unknown, and even his body was not found. He must have come ashore in the flood and then came to Chang 'an to seek refuge."
"And his tavern now is considered the property of the Zhang clan in Chang 'an …"
"Oh!"
With Zhangsun Wuji's explanation, Zhang Feng's identity was finally revealed.
If Zhang Feng was here, he would really be excited to go to Niangzi Pass and set off a cart of firecrackers for the missing young master of the Zhang clan.
"Then what does this matter have to do with the task I asked you to do?"
"Yes!"
"At that time, this subject also felt that the place where Brother Zhang Feng was at was too dangerous, so I wanted to ask my son to protect him. But he said where was the safest place?"
Hearing this.
Li Shimin's face suddenly changed.
He asked, "Did Brother Zhang Feng really say that?"
"It's absolutely true!"
Li Shimin's eyes suddenly burst out a trace of killing intent.
"Oh no!"
"Idiot, Brother Zhang Feng is in danger!"
