The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 432 My master is not dead yet

Uncle Li looked at Zhang Lao hesitantly for a moment and said: "Then please wait here for a while, I will come as soon as I go."

After saying that, he closed the door, turned around and went to the study to find Zhen Qingping.

It was still early at this time, Jun Rong and the others hadn't woken up yet, so Zhen Qingping didn't eat, and went to the study to handle some official business.

"My lord, there is an old gentleman outside who claims to be your old friend. He said his surname is Zhang, and he wants to invite you out to meet him."

Zhen Qingping was taken aback for a moment, then put down the things in his hands, looked at Uncle Li in surprise and asked, "What did he say his last name was?"

"The surname is Zhang, the old slave forgot to ask which chapter it is."

Zhen Qingping laughed when he heard that, "I know who it is. I really have nowhere to find it. It didn't take much effort. I was still talking about him last night, but today he found it by himself."

Zhen Qingping stood up and said to Uncle Li: "Go, come with me to welcome this old friend in."

"Yes."

……

Zhang Lao stood at the gate, rubbing his hands expectantly.

He glanced around to see if there were any suspicious people staring at him.

Fortunately, Zhen Qingping didn't keep him waiting, Zhang Lao turned his head as soon as the door opened.

The moment their eyes met, Zhen Qingping smiled at Zhang Lao and said, "The old people are reunited, it seems that I have to set up a banquet to celebrate today."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Lao's eyes lit up immediately, is the old man reunited?Are they implying that Jun Rong and the others are also here?
"Outside the door is not a place to talk, Mr. Zhang, please come with me."

"it is good."

Mr. Zhang went up the steps and followed Zhen Qingping into the yard, while Uncle Li closed the door behind him.

As soon as Zhang Lao came in, he approached Zhen Qingping and asked in a low voice: "Have they all come? When did they come? How are you doing? Is your majesty's injury healed?"

She asked several questions in succession, and Zhen Qingping couldn't help but said, "You'll know when you meet someone later."

"It's true, I'm confused. I've been hiding in Tibet during this time, and it's hard to get any news. After thinking about it, they don't have any place to stay. I guess they will come here, and I'll bet After a while, I hurried to Bingzhou, luckily I made the right bet."

"Mr. Zhang has worked hard." Zhen Qingping looked at his thin but straight back, feeling a little distressed.

"Don't look at me with that look. Although I'm older, I'm in good health." Zhang Lao reached out and stroked his mustache.

"Okay, I've offended you." Zhen Qingping smiled kindly, and led him to the west courtyard.

……

When they arrived, Jun Rong had just washed up and was standing in the yard basking in the sun, lost in thought.

Tsing Yi and Han Yi watched from not far away but did not step forward.

Probably because they just changed to a new place where they can live, and they are still a little uncomfortable.

"My lord, look who's here!" When he walked down the corridor today, he waved to Jun Rong from a distance, his tone very excited.

Jun Rong looked up suspiciously, and at the same time Zhang Lao also took off the bamboo hat on his head.

The moment their eyes met, the expression on Jun Rong's face instantly turned into surprise.

Before he could make a sound, Ning Zhao, who had just opened the door on the other side, exclaimed, "Mr. Zhang? Why are you here?"

Mr. Zhang glanced roughly, and saw that everyone was there except Xiao Yu, who just wanted to laugh but couldn't.

He stroked his beard, and said with a vicissitudes of life: "But after a month or so, things have changed."

"Everyone go into the room and talk, sit down and talk slowly." Zhen Qingping greeted, and Jun Rong came back to his senses and said: "Come to my room."

Everyone entered the room and sat around the table. Zhen Qingping picked up the teapot and poured water for everyone.

"I won't drink any more. I drank tea all morning. After I finally found out about you, I ran over quickly. Fortunately, I didn't make a mistake."

Zhang Lao leaned on the back of the chair, showing a bit of fatigue.

"Mr. Zhang, how did you find out about us? We haven't revealed our whereabouts." Tsing Yi looked at him curiously.

Zhang Lao narrowed his eyes and looked at him for a while, then smiled, and said, "Who can recognize you dressed up like this?"

Tsing Yi stroked her hair and said, "Isn't this just to pretend? This is the only way to be safe. Who would have thought that I would pretend to be a charming woman?"

Zhang Lao: "..." We seem to have a different understanding of the word "sexy".

Jun Rong was silent for a while, and decided to bring the topic back, "What news do you keep hearing, confirming that we are here?"

"I was sitting in the tea shed in the morning, and I heard the table behind me mention an inn, saying that there was a ghost, and five people disappeared out of thin air. I felt strange when I heard it, and said that the leader was a young lady. I didn't Thinking of you guys going to dress up as women, I just thought that the young lady might be Ning Zhao, who can you find here? It must be to join him, so I came directly to the door." Zhang Lao said, pointing out his finger He pointed to Zhen Qingping who was at the side.

Zhen Qingping smiled subtly, "I told them last night that if Mr. Zhang escaped from the capital, he would definitely come here. I didn't expect it to be a prophecy."

Mr. Zhang stroked his beard, shook his head and said, "I'm old, and I have nothing to worry about. There is only one thing that worries me all the time."

Looking at his eyes, Jun Rong was slightly moved, "Is Zhang Lao talking about the Taifu?"

"Yeah, I have already paid back the favor I owed to his father, and then I learned her secret after following Xiao Yu. I promised to keep it a secret for her, and I also promised to take good care of her. In the hands of people with evil intentions, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities, how can I leave?"

What Zhang Lao said was calm, but everyone present understood how precious this promise was.

"It's not that Mr. Zhang didn't take good care of her. It's me. I don't have the ability to protect her, and I put her in danger to save us. I'm useless. I'll go to her when I recover. I will definitely get her out of Hua Ye's life." Rescued by hand."

When faced with his own incompetence again, Jun Rong was relieved.

Zhang Lao couldn't help but look at him twice, nodded in relief and said, "It seems that this experience has also brought you a lot of changes, very good."

"One can only fully grow up if one is forced into a desperate situation. I have been protected by the Taifu before, and now it is my turn to protect her."

Jun Rong said softly, and did not continue the topic after finishing speaking. He asked Mr. Zhang: "Did Mr. Zhang just arrive in Bingzhou? Or did he arrive long ago? Where did you live before?"

Zhang Lao said: "I have been here long ago, but I have been living in the deep mountains of Bingzhou."

"In the mountains? That mountain?" Zhen Qingping asked curiously.

"It's a long story. After I escaped from Kyoto, I rushed all the way here and sent a letter to my master. I didn't have any hope at first, but I didn't expect him to reply to me. Bingzhou, I went to join him."

"Your master? He hasn't passed away yet?" Tsing Yi asked in surprise.

Zhang Lao: "...you brat, what nonsense are you talking about? My master is alive and well!"
