Chapter 343
Xin Ciying didn't even raise his head, his eyes were empty, and he didn't know what he was thinking of. He twitched twice on the spot and tried to get up from the ground.

Zhong Lei supported him and advised:

"Where is Mr. Xin going?"

The old man was extremely determined: "Go and see the official, Yue Fei will not die!"

No one can't die, but he is used to thinking about the emperor. From the emperor's point of view, Yue Fei really cannot die, at least not in this way.

This is so chilling. If Qin Hui had not died before, he would have found someone to blame. Now, Prime Minister Qin is probably over one month old, so Yue Fei should die in a Guan Yu and Luo Cheng style...

Don’t you see what happened to Wu Xia’s Amen and Li Yuanji?

Zhong Lei restrained him: "You know the temperament of the official family. Even if you have something to say, please wait a moment. If you go recklessly at this time, I'm afraid you won't get any benefits."

"I have to go even if I don't have to!"

His beard was blown high and was being pulled by Zhong Lei, and his clothes were much messy. The old man next to him hesitated and finally spoke:

"But I don't know what the situation is? Why is Marshal Yue's life involved?"

Zhong Lei glanced at him: "This is a state matter, and you can ask about it?"

The veteran didn't feel dissatisfied, he licked his face and said with a smile:
"Yue Shaobao is related to the Northern Expedition. You have been living in the south for a long time, so you may not know it. The little old man has been living in the Jin army. Yue Shaobao's importance is beyond your imagination."

"In this state capital along the Yellow River, the land of Qilu saints, there have been people who have been trying to rebel against the Jurchens for many years, and most of them are going to Yue Shaobao. His Yue family's army is said to be one hundred thousand. If you really count, with one call and hundreds of responses, he can gather hundreds of troops. Wan is not an exaggeration."

"If you don't talk about anything else, let's just say that there were [-] rebels in Xiangyang back then, and they were all supported by the Yue family's army who opened mountains and settled fields. Based on his measurements, if he caused any trouble, the impact here..."

Before he finished speaking, the old man shut his mouth and just stopped talking. Leaving some words unsaid would make it easier for people to use their imagination.

Zhong Lei paused: "You are from the Zhe family, do you know my identity?"

"You are the superior officer of the Imperial City Department... I heard this just now."

"Yes, but it's my surname."

These words seemed to have a huge force, and the old man's whole body seemed to fall apart under the pressure. It became extremely difficult to breathe in. He hesitated:

"It turns out that the Zhong family has entered the imperial court. This is really a happy event for the Western Army."

"I'm not telling you this for anything else, but because we are old friends. You know what Yue Shaobao is capable of. Don't I know that?"

As he said that, he told everything about Yue Fei sending people to report that the Jin army was besieging Zhongmou, and the emperor sending people to pass the news to the Jin people. Hearing this, the old man was stunned:

"The official Zhao family is really trying to kill Yue Shaobao by acting like this!"

"Don't talk nonsense." Zhong Lei was also a little helpless, "We all come from a general family, how can we not see Yue Shaobao's abilities? It's just like His Majesty said: 'If you want your minister to die, I have to die', besides asking for Apart from His Majesty changing his mind, what other options do I have?"

"If the Holy Will cannot be violated... then it can be considered his fate. Di Hanchen is in front of him and Yue Pengju is in the back. This is also the fate of us and other warriors."

The old man was a little lost: "Is there no other way?"

Zhong Lei smiled bitterly: "We have neither the right to send troops nor the way to change His Majesty's mind. How can we find any other way?"

At this point, he no longer cared about Xin Ciying, and punched the pillar next to him: "If the ancestors of the family know this, and if the family can live a few more years, even if it is an egg hitting a stone, I will still Just give it a try.”

"But now that we have no soldiers or generals, we are not even qualified to hit a stone with an egg."

He had an angry look on his face, but the corners of his eyes did not leave the old man. Seeing him lowering his head and looking like he was thinking about it, Zhong Lei knew that time waits for no one. If he was left to struggle for a moment longer, he would be in danger again. Turning around, he pulled Xin Ciying and said:

"Mr. Xin is a great talent, please write a memorial tribute to Yue Shaobao... It will save you time to make preparations. It's a bit hasty."

Xin Ciying couldn't bear it any longer and started to howl with a loud cry.

When the old man saw the old man and the young man supporting each other and about to walk out of the yamen, he finally made up his mind and ran up in small steps, blocking their way.

Zhong Lei looked at him: "How?"

The old man looked around, thought again and again, and then pulled Zhong Lei back a little. Then he said:

"The reputation of the seven generations of the Zhe family and the century-old reputation have all been destroyed at the hands of one person, Zhe Keqiu. This is not what the Zhe family wants."

"Zhe Yanzhi is a scholar and businessman. He talks and laughs with the Jin people. He is timid before fighting. This is not the family tradition of Zhe Yan."

"However, the Zhe family does not have a national pillar like Xiaozhong Jinglue Xianggong, so the accumulation of generations of the Zhe family has been ruined in one fell swoop. Now we have a chance, but we don't know who is in charge. I hope that for the sake of our family friendship, Come on, give the Zhe family this chance?"

Zhong Lei glanced at Xin Ciying. The old man had not recovered from his apathy. It was as if he had not heard the man speak and had no reaction at all.

He endured his temper: "What kind of opportunity?"

"Yue Fei is a loyal and righteous man, his name is no less than that of Di Hanchen, and he is no less famous than the ancestors of the Zhezhong family. When he can regain the Central Plains, his achievements will surely be the first since the founding of the Song Dynasty."

"Now that he has put himself in danger, it is truly a critical moment. If the Zhe family can board this fast ship, can it offset the shame of Zhe Keqiu lowering his salary?"

Zhong Lei thought for a while: "One code equals one code... But it is indeed a good opportunity. If it were me, I would also be willing to try it."

"That's it!" The old man clapped his hands, "Zhe's family went to help Yue Shaobao. Afterwards, Zhe Keqiu's family name was removed, so he didn't fall into the trap of his ancestors!"

However, Zhong Lei did not completely agree: "I can understand that you want to covet this heaven-shaking power, but understanding is understanding. If, if you can't save Yue Shaobao, and even get yourself involved, wouldn't it be in vain? Calculating?"

To be honest, this veteran can speak his true thoughts without beating around the bush, instead of just doing things to save people in the name of loyalty... Maybe it's because he has been with the emperor for a long time, but it makes him feel better. Zhong Lei had a good impression of her.

The above question is also asked from the heart.

The old man just shook his head: "If we had not surrendered back then, we would have either died in Fuzhou or been massacred by the Jin people as hostages. If we can survive to this day, we have already taken advantage of the Lord of Hell."

"Even at this time, it is difficult to think and act for the sake of our family, country, world, and people. What we think about is still just these empty names. It is not for the public, but for selfishness."

"This group of people from the Ori family should have died long ago."

"I didn't die before because it was not worthy of death; now if I can exchange my life for my name, it will not be a loss in the end."

"Compared to yours, my family is too selfish."

Zhong Lei was silent for a long time, and then asked him:
"How do you want me to help?"
