While Zhang Yu, Cai Pa, and the others were rushing towards the garrison town, he did not know that after he left, Taiyang Academy did not calm down.
Because there was no one more suitable than Zhan Zhitong, the upper echelons of the academy unanimously agreed that he would be the envoy to the Tough Claw tribe. He would be responsible for the communication between the two sides. Then, he submitted a letter to the Governing Department.
The Governing Department's Liu Fengquan, who had just taken office this month, did not delay and immediately approved the letter.
However, this made the students in Dongtai Academy very unhappy.
After getting along for almost two months, they were quite convinced by their strict teacher, Zhang Yu. They all believed that their teacher was the best candidate to be the envoy to the Tough Claw tribe. However, this position was now snatched away by a stranger. How could they be convinced?
More importantly, as Zhang Yu's students, they were one in a sense. If their teacher was excluded, then as students, how could they still have the face to sit here?
Then, worse news came. Zhang Yu would no longer be in charge of the academy in the future. Instead, he might let Zhan Zhitong teach them. This made them feel even more uncomfortable.
"We want Sir to come back!"
As soon as this suggestion was made, it immediately attracted the support of most of the students.
Many of the students who were able to sit here came from powerful backgrounds. These people immediately gathered together and discussed how they could encourage their families to put pressure on the Commissar to chase Zhan Zhitong away so that their teacher could be reinstated.
Yang Ying's identity was very special, so she did not participate. However, she still pulled An Chuer over and said, "Chuer, what do you think?"
An Chuer thought of Zhang Yu's previous instructions. She seemed to have foreseen this. She said, "I think Sir is not such a weak person. He probably has his own reasons for not fighting this time."
"Reasons?" Yang Ying thought about it and felt a headache. She felt that her brain could not handle such complicated things. She snorted and said, "I don't care. Sir can't leave."
An Chuer said, "Then what are you going to do?" Although she came from a humble background, she actually had a faint blood relationship with Yang Ying. Otherwise, she would not have been arranged to come here.
Yang Ying said proudly, "Just you wait and see."
She immediately strode out of the school and led the guards out of the academy. She returned to her own manor. She returned to the courtyard with her usual imposing manner and kicked open the door with a practiced kick.
She completely forgot that she had said before that she would protect her brother well. She rushed to the hall and grabbed her biological brother's collar. She said, "Little brother, you ordered the teacher to come back. That Zhan Zhitong, how can he compare with the teacher? “
Xiao Tong, who was seated, was a little confused. After a while, she sorted out her thoughts and asked, "Sis, you want to change people? “
Yang Ying waved her hand. "That's right. That damned Zhan Zhitong. I've never heard of him. How dare he want to be my teacher? Don't even think about it! Tell Mr. Zhang to come back and tell him to get lost! “
Xiao Tong thought for a moment and said, "Sis, if you want me to do something, you have to tell me who made this decision."
Yang Ying was stunned and then said disdainfully, "You can't even figure out this matter. How stupid!"
Xiao Tong looked helpless. He thought for a moment and said, "Sis, if it's an order from the Governing Bureau, then it's the new Mr. Xu's decision. Even if I'm the Protector-General, I can't take back Mr. Xu's order."
Yang Ying said discontentedly, "You're the Protector-General. Can't you even give an order?"
Xiao Tong said awkwardly, "Sis, I can't."
Yang Ying said disdainfully, "If I knew you were so useless, I wouldn't have come to find you. I would have gone to find my uncle."
"Why do you want to find me?"
A deep and rich voice came from not far behind her.
Yang Ying's body trembled, as if she had been frightened. She slowly turned her head and saw a middle-aged man wearing a crown and a black and red military uniform appear at the entrance of the hall. This man had a valiant appearance and a dignified bearing. He was serious in speech and manner. At this moment, all the attendants at the entrance were half-kneeling on the ground.
Her voice was trembling. "Uncle, uncle …"
The valiant man walked in and said expressionlessly, "The matters of the Commissar will be handled by the officials of the Commissar. It's not something for us martial artists to meddle in. We are only in charge of managing the army and protecting the people."
He looked at Yang Ying with a stern gaze and said, "Captain Yang, you have five thousand personal guards under your command. In times of crisis, you need to stand up at any time to protect the Protector-General. But how many times have you been to the barracks? How many of your Barracks Supervisors do you know? Do you have a complete set of military equipment? Do you practice on time? How is the morale of the troops? Have you asked these simple things? If you don't even know these things, what right do you have to ask about other things? Do you have the right to interfere with the decisions of the Commissar? "
The valiant man's tone became more and more severe. Yang Ying's head was lowered more and more until she could no longer raise it.
Xiao Tong's face was also pale, but he still managed to maintain his composure. He tried his best to say, "Commandant, Captain Wei knows his mistake."
The valiant man looked at him and cupped his hands. "This subordinate was rude to have disturbed the Protector-General." He looked at Yang Ying. "But this matter cannot go unpunished. Captain Yang, I punish you by confinement for ten days. Without my permission, you are not allowed to come out. Do you hear me?"
Yang Ying's face was dejected. She said in a low voice, "I hear you." She couldn't help but feel dejected, thinking that she couldn't help her teacher this time.
In the study of the Zhan residence in Auspicious Light City, Zhan Zhitong looked at the envoy's attire sent by the Protector-General. At this moment, he didn't feel any sense of victory.
He had always seen Zhang Yu as an obstacle to his career, but he didn't expect that the other party would easily let go of the things he had painstakingly sought. Especially when he remembered Zhang Yu's indifferent expression when he left, as if he had casually thrown a bone to a beggar by the roadside. It made him feel a deep stab of pain. He felt that everything he had done had become meaningless.
"What are you standing here for? Don't you have anything to do? "Zhan Gong appeared at the door of the study. He looked at him and said," Are you still thinking about what happened during the day? "
Zhan Zhitong half-turned and said, "Father, I just didn't expect him to be someone from the Xuanfu. Can this child really be considered to have won against him?"
Zhan Gong said sternly, "Who are you trying to win against? You are trying to win for yourself! "
He struck the ground with his walking stick, making a sound, and said, "This time, I've put my old face on the line and practically used up all the favors I could to facilitate this matter. But for this matter, do you know how many people we've offended? Do you think you didn't win against Zhang Yu? Yes, you can't compete with Zhang Yu, because even if he loses, he is still a disciple of the Xuanfu and can continue to walk another path. But if you lose, there is no way out. If you don't seize this opportunity to climb up and hold your breath here, you will only delay your own future! "
Zhan Zhitong lowered his head slightly and slowly raised it up. He said slowly, "Father, I understand."
Zhan Gong saw that he was gradually returning to normal, and his tone also softened. He comforted him and said, "Actually, the Xuanfu is nothing. How would they know the benefits of power? They say that they are detached from the world, but in the hundred years since the Dongting Protector-General's establishment, no one from the Xuanfu has been able to achieve immortality. Didn't they all die on the battlefield? Only those who sit at the top are qualified to talk about the future. "
Zhan Zhitong knew that it wasn't that simple. In the war decades ago, the upper echelons of the Dongting Protector-General also went to the battlefield. Even his father went, but at that time, he was in charge of logistics. Later on, he was seriously injured and fell into a coma. He was lucky to come back alive. But no matter what, these words gave him some comfort.
Zhan Gong could tell what his son was thinking, so he said earnestly, "Things are different now. The Turbid Tide is about to recede, and a great change is about to come. If you're just an ordinary person, you won't be able to protect yourself. So, you have to think of ways to climb up. Once you've occupied a place in the Commissar, you'll be qualified to decide the fate of others instead of letting others decide yours. Other than that, nothing else should interfere with you!"
Zhan Zhitong nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, father."
Zhan Gong sat down and said, "Zhitong, let's talk about the matter of communicating with the Tough Claw tribe. What the Protectorate needs is pacification. What we need is for the Protectorate to not fall into chaos in the Southern Mountain Range, so as to avoid having to take care of both sides. However, you need to do more. You need to think of a way to make the Tough Claw Tribe work for us. At the very least, you need to think of a way to rope in a portion of the people and have them act according to our wishes.
Speaking of this matter, Zhan Zhitong's confidence gradually returned. He said, "Father, don't worry. I will take care of this matter."
Zhan Gong said, "The opportunity now is just right. Zhang Yu is not here, so no one will interfere. His students only know a little. The Dongting Protector-General can only rely on you. So no matter what you want to do, they can only choose to believe. That's right …"
He looked at his son. "Have you made arrangements for that Yi Cha? Don't cause any trouble. Why did he suddenly kneel during the day? Fortunately, no one in White Heaven cares about this matter. "
Zhan Zhitong had met this person when he secretly went to the Tough Claw tribe to communicate with them. He was willing to come after giving him some benefits. He was indeed a chief, but he only had seventy to eighty people under him. It was far less than what he had said. Zhan Zhitong and his son also knew this in their hearts and did not expose him.
Zhan Zhitong said, "I asked him later. He said that he felt the power of the gods from the two Xuanfu Taoists."
Zhan Gong thought about it. He also did not understand this supernatural power. He said, "You should set off as soon as possible. I have received news that Zhang Yu's students are somewhat restless. The sooner you complete this matter, the more stable our positions will be. “
