Chapter 135

"I don't feel right!"

"What's wrong?"

"You want me to act as a medium for the operation?"

After hearing Zhang Qian's report to the prince, Zhang Xuezhou felt something was wrong.

He thought about the mediums of spells he had used in the past, and he felt that being a medium was not good.

Even the fleas, mosquitoes and other media that Zhang Xuezhou has performed, these media did not end well.

"Yes, the medium of performing spells." Zhang Qian nodded and said, "Your teacher doesn't have many real students. As long as the masters of the court use you as a medium to perform spells, they will definitely be able to find the whereabouts of Taoist Chang!"

"The point is not my teacher's whereabouts, the point is that I act as a medium for performing the technique." Zhang Xuezhou said: "You never told me about this kind of thing before."

"I've said it," Zhang Qian said, "I told you before that it's good to cooperate with us!"

Following behind the prince's carriage, Zhang Qian walked forward respectfully with his hands tied, talking nonsense with Zhang Xuezhou.

Once on this boat, no one can escape.

Recently, many things have been rumored, and students from the Yin Yang family have been going to various places to seek benefits. Zhang Qian also wants to get a piece of the action.

In the past, he had nothing to do with this kind of thing, but when Zhang Xuezhou came, the matter was also on the sidelines.

Zhang Qian didn't understand how the court's high-ranking officials used their skills, but as long as things were successful, the gains would definitely outweigh the losses.

He gambled two months' salary, and Zhang Xuezhou obviously had to pay some.

"It's just using you as a location for the operation, and it will definitely not hurt your life." Zhang Qian comforted: "When the matter is over, let's go to the inn to have a good meal!"

"I'm ready to eat your meal!"

Zhang Xuezhou glanced at the guards holding swords on the left and right, and then gave Zhang Qian a hard look.

He had made some psychological preparations for coming to Chang'an City before, but this kind of psychological preparation was obviously far from enough.

But with his current ability, it is indeed only useful as consumables.

Zhang Xuezhou felt a little uneasy when he thought about the spells in the Holy Land of the Yexi River.

But Zhang Qian's reassurance reassured him a little.

The whereabouts of Changbugui will not stay in one place for a long time, which will inevitably require the help of Zhang Xuezhou to perform multiple spells to determine the final location.

In other words, the operation will not kill Zhang Xuezhou.

Zhang Qian's reverse reasoning is not unfounded. Although he is keen to make progress, he will not use other people's lives as a stepping stone.

In the budget plan, he will benefit, and Zhang Xuezhou will obviously not lose.

And as the people of the big men, the northern military region has beaten their lives to death. They don't say throwing their heads and blood, at least try their best to see what they can do.

Whether it is for self-interest or justice, Zhang Qian feels that his actions are justified, and Zhang Xuezhou, as a man of the people, should also do his duty.

After he preached, he frankly admitted that he wanted to pursue selfishness, which left Zhang Xuezhou speechless.

Zhang Qian has a righteous side and also has private desires, which is the character that everyone has.

If he were Zhang Qian, Zhang Xuezhou felt that what he did would not make much difference.

But understanding Zhang Qian does not mean that Zhang Xuezhou has no grudges against Zhang Qian.

He turned his head away and didn't bother to talk to Zhang Qian, but just followed the prince's carriage mechanically.

The carriage stopped in front of a mansion with red walls and black tiles.

The driver of the imperial carriage stopped the carriage, then jumped up, and quickly rang the knocker on the door of the mansion.

"Wei Qing, don't knock on the door so loudly. Just ring the door knocker three times. If there is no response to the three times, then pull it three more times!"

The prince gave a warning, and then he got out of the carriage and waited outside the gate of the mansion.

His exhortation made the coachman quiet, and he pulled the door knocker round after round.

"We have arrived at the Taiwei's Mansion!"

Zhang Qian's face showed excitement.

If Cheng Bushi, Li Guang and others are the pinnacle of military generals in the army, Zhou Taiwei is the pinnacle of generals in the court. This Taiwei even served as the prime minister for a long time, and his power can be called No.1 under the emperor.

With high authority and great strength, many words are not enough to describe this captain.

There are not many military generals who rank at the top of the court. Zhou Taiwei does not say that he is a special case for military generals to be the prime minister and Taiwei, but it is indeed a very small number of people.

Even Cheng Bushi, Li Guang and others bowed their heads in front of Taiwei Zhou.

When the door of the mansion opened, revealing an old man with white beard and hair, Zhang Qian almost jumped up for joy.

Zhang Qian looked a bit like a groupie, and his face was not lacking in fanaticism.

But Zhang Xuezhou didn't know much about the affairs of the imperial court. If Li Guang came, Zhang Xuezhou would have to look at what Li Guang looked like, but the old man in front of him made him not very curious, and it was difficult for him to empathize with Zhang Qian.

He looked over and saw that the old man exchanged pleasantries with the prince, and the words in his mouth were not lacking in politeness.

"As soon as the old man heard the door knocker being pulled, he knew it was Tenglong coming," Zhou Taiwei laughed.

"You are too polite, I shouldn't have disturbed the Taiwei's rest at such a late hour," the prince said politely.

"Don't get in the way, don't get in the way," Zhou Taiwei said: "I will have a lot of time to rest in the future, don't be in a hurry for the moment!"

A smile appeared on Zhou Taiwei's old face, and then he opened the door with his own hands.

"I came here this time because when I was out of the palace, I saw the prefect of Yanmenguan Cheng in the western region and Zhang Qian, the army guard, come to report urgently. They said that they had found the student who had not returned on the execution order of Xie Luosichuan." The prince said: "Father Wang has been very annoyed by this matter recently, so the Taiwei needs to worry about it!"

Things are either not done, or done best.

Undoubtedly, there were many people in the Han Dynasty who were good at tracking, but the crown prince would not seek someone with lesser methods.

If he wants to find it, he will find the strongest one.

In fact, the prince had recommended some people to come here in the past, but those people could not be counted.

Hearing that the prince's visit was to find a lie and never return, Zhou Taiwei showed a wry smile on his face.

"Your Highness, please call someone here, let me ask first," Zhou Taiwei said.

"I'm calling you!"

When the prince looked back, Zhang Qian pushed Zhang Xuezhou, which made Zhang Xuezhou have to bite the bullet and walk forward.

"Are you really learning from the Nine Heavens Teaching of the Yin Yang Family and can't return?" Zhou Taiwei asked.

"I passed by Jiuchi Taoist Temple in the past, and I was given a method of entering the country by Taoist Master Jiuchi. I don't know much about other related things." Zhang Xuezhou replied modestly: "If it has nothing to do with it, you can just let me go!"

"The current decline of the Yinyang family is a certainty, and it is difficult to have the glory of the past, but the inheritance of the Yinyang family is harsh, and if you don't return, how can you randomly teach people the Yinyang family's method!"

Taiwei Zhou raised his old eyes slightly, and his wrinkled face was radiant.

He stared at Zhang Xuezhou, obviously very dissatisfied that the prince brought another person who cheated on food and drink.

Even the other party couldn't wait to mention that they wanted to leave before verification.

It would be fine if he was young, but when he got old, Zhou Taiwei was a little bit powerless in casting spells, and he didn't want to waste his limited physical strength on useless things.

If it wasn't for the prince who came to the door, Zhou Taiwei would have no feelings for this kind of thing.

He stared at Zhang Xuezhou, his sharp eyes almost saw through Zhang Xuezhou.

"Your body has never been stabilized in practice, and you are mixed with evil spirits. It is obviously the practice match of a reckless and loose person. It cannot be a disciple of a famous sect!"

Zhou Taiwei looked at Zhang Xuezhou, and then turned to the prince.

"It's getting late, Your Highness might as well go back to the palace to rest early, there are still many things that His Highness needs to share with His Majesty tomorrow!"

He roughly judged clearly, and obviously had the intention of seeing off the guests.

"The Taiwei completed the verification only with the skill of looking and asking, isn't that a bit bad!"

Although the prince was young and was rejected by Zhou Taiwei, there was no displeasure on his face.

"It must be known that there are tens of thousands of people on the front line desperately fighting against the vicious Chinese. Even if we have only a glimmer of hope, we should not give up easily." The prince persuaded: "Once the cause of the matter is clear, the father will be more confident in dealing with it."

He spoke neither slowly nor quickly, but casually lifted Emperor Jing out.

Facing the high-ranking and powerful veterans of the imperial court, the status of the prince is indeed not enough to be condescending.

He can be a prince this year, but he can also become a prince next year.

In the imperial court, some veteran officials are qualified to advise the emperor, and they are more likely to influence the emperor's arrangement of successors.

Zhou Taiwei is obviously one of them.

The prince needs to continue to make meritorious service to prove himself in order to truly gain a firm position in the court.

This is also the reason why the prince has repeatedly contributed to the pursuit of the truth about Xie Luosichuan's execution order.
