At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 25
Fang Yizhi cried bitterly this time, which made Fang Xuanling and his wife a little confused.

Isn't it all over?Why are you still crying?
Could it be that the stamina has come up?

Fang Xuanling didn't dare to look at his wife anymore, so he could only look at Fang Yizhi, and changed the subject, "You left early in the morning for an hour, but did you go to play?"

Mrs. Fang didn't make a sound when she heard the words, and stared at Fang Yizhi coldly.

Fang Yizhi only felt a chill on his back, and it was very likely that he would be beaten again, so he choked up and said, "No... no play... I went with the lord... to the military camp..."

Fang Xuanling's eyes lit up, and he didn't care about the title of the lord that Fang Yizhi said, and then asked: "What did you see?"

With Mrs. Fang's intimidation, Fang Yi never dared to lie, and just poured beans out of a bamboo tube, telling about the award ceremony he saw this morning.

It's just that he was only eleven or twelve years old, and his words were vague, and his description was not clear.

But Fang Xuanling could still figure out the general idea from his few words.

Then his expression sank involuntarily.

After a long time, he sighed to Mrs. Fang next to him: "Madam, this lord is extraordinary. If it is true what Zhi'er said, the army in Wanmin City will die for him. If we want to escape, it will be as difficult as going to heaven..."

Mrs. Fang's expression darkened when she heard the words, and she shook her head. When it comes to major events, she has no sense as a woman, so she can only listen to Fang Xuanling.

"At this point, I can only take one step at a time. Today, my husband will go with the lord to see what is so magical about Wanmin City."

Fang Xuanling sighed softly, already secretly comparing Xu Mu and Li Yuan in his heart.

If this lord can have half of Li Yuan, then that person in the house will be a thief once, and beat him to a fortune!
……

Early in the morning.

After Zhang Xutuo was woken up by the sound of morning exercise, he couldn't fall asleep anymore.

In fact, last night, not only Fang Xuanling and his wife were sleepless, but he also didn't fall asleep.

When he returned to Wanmin City last night, Xu Mu personally greeted him. Along the way, he passed the Wanmin Heroes Monument, the first phase of the residential area, and the three buildings of Wanmin Square.

Among them, the construction of the first phase of the residential area was temporarily suspended, and dozens of workers in Wanmin Plaza were busy laying the foundation.

In a hasty glance in the night, he seemed to see a face.

The face of an old acquaintance.

It used to be his old boss.

So... After eating hot pot, he didn't fall asleep all night.

Although it is very possible that his old eyesight made a mistake, Zhang Xutuo still decided to go to the construction site to have a look after getting up early in the morning.

Yesterday he made indirect remarks and asked the lord, but the lord replied that this person's surname is Lai, and he is generally called Lao Lai on weekdays.

This made Zhang Xutuo unable to sleep even more.

So... With dark circles under his eyes caused by staying up late, Zhang Xutuo walked to the construction site of Wanmin Square with complicated emotions.

According to the master's plan, the construction of the first floor should be completed within three days, so the "old man" must sleep near the construction site of Wanmin Square every day for three days.

"I hope it's not coming to the public..."

Thinking so in Zhang Xutuo's heart, he was already approaching the construction site of Wanmin Square.

An extremely large area was isolated, and dozens of workers in it were busy early in the morning.

After fighting overnight, they have completed the excavation of the foundation and are using cement and those steels to construct the foundation.

Fortunately, this group of construction workers has already experienced the construction of city walls and small western-style buildings, so they are very efficient.

"Hahahaha, well done! Tonight, I invite everyone to eat baked potatoes!"

Before Zhang Xutuo approached, he heard a hearty voice coming from the construction site, and suddenly staggered.

Following this very familiar voice, Zhang Xutuo... saw a familiar face tens of meters away.

My heart skipped a beat, and my breathing became short of breath.

Although this person was wearing a cloth robe and his body was covered with dust, he was completely different from the person in his memory.

But he can already be sure that this person is Lai Nuer!
The Zhu Kingdom of the Sui Dynasty, Duke Rong, and General You Yiwei came to protect the children!
But right now, he seems to be reduced to a civil servant, listening to his words, Zhang Xutuo can hear a heroic spirit.

No resistance to this position either?
Zhang Xutuo was full of doubts, his brows were tightly frowned, and he felt a little bad all over.

Swallowing, he murmured: "This...is this the ordinary person that the lord said he recruited? The civil servant manager? Old man?"

Recalling the indifference in the lord's words when he mentioned this person, Zhang Xutuo almost doubted life.

I am afraid that only a character like the lord would dare to arrange such a thing for the dignified Zhuguo, General You Yiwei, right?

Outside the construction site, Zhang Xutuo hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't take this step.

In the eyes of the world, he is already a dead man.

His death made Li Mi famous all over the world, and he faintly wanted to become the top traitor in the world.

And... Lai Huer was deeply trusted by Yang Guang, and he was his old boss before.

Although they are of different attributes, their official position is greater than his.

At this time, the other party has become a contractor, a civil servant manager, if he appears in front of the other party... I'm afraid it will be quite embarrassing.

After standing like this for half an hour, Zhang Xutuo slowly calmed down his overwhelmed mood.

"It's not a big deal. After all, even a certain person rebelled, and it seems acceptable for Lai Gong to be reduced to the head of the people's husband?"

Zhang Xutuo comforted himself in this way, but the corners of his mouth still twitched.

Since meeting the lord, he has become more and more incomprehensible in this world.

"Forget it, forget it, let's just pretend that you didn't recognize the lord, but do you want to tell the lord?"

Zhang Xutuo wandered outside the construction site of Wanmin Square, thinking of the lord, his expression became more tangled.

Just as he was about to leave, a figure hurried over from a distance, holding a roll of blueprints in his hand, and walked in through the main gate of the construction site.

As for him... The other party didn't look at him at all, just regarded him as an ordinary soldier.

However, as a famous general, Zhang Xutuo was in his fifties, but his physical fitness was far superior to that of ordinary people, and he caught the face of the person who hurried into the construction site just now at a glance.

Then his legs were so frightened that he almost knelt down.

The whole person shuddered.

"This...this...this..."

If it was said that his heart was turbulent just now, it is already raging.

He looked at the person just now, and found that the other person was gesticulating in front of Lai Huer, and Lai Huer had a flattering expression on his face, nodding and bowing, saying yes repeatedly.

If this is not His Majesty, who could it be?

In the whole world, only His Majesty Sui can make the dignified country come to protect his children so respectfully!
"My lord, is this the old Yang you mentioned?"

Zhang Xutuo's fifty-plus-year-old face was so expressive that he was about to cry.

He remembered again what the lord had said to him yesterday.

A scholar was recruited.

The scholar refused to disclose his name, but only knew that his surname was Yang, so he was called Lao Yang.

He also asked himself not to be polite with this old Yang, as long as the Wanmin City was related to municipal planning, he could leave it to him.

The lord also praised him for his ability...

Thinking of all these things, the corners of Zhang Xutuo's mouth twitched, and then he didn't dare to stay here for a long time, and hurriedly left the construction site of Wanmin Square.

Along the way, his mood was very complicated.

He just went out to see what the lord has done?
Even Yang Guang was arrested in Wanmincheng, is this considered a successful rebellion?

Zhang Xutuo's thoughts were racing along the way, but his expression was as uncomfortable as if he had eaten shit.

This potato is really hot.

"I must tell the Lord the news as soon as possible, and there must be no delay!"

Zhang Xutuo remembered that the Xiaoguo army entered the mountain a few days ago, probably because Yang Guang was lost.

The Iron Buddha was led by the lord to lie down.

But... this is not something to be happy about, because Yang Guang's presence here is a big trouble.

When he saw Yang Guang, he couldn't help kneeling down. What about those common people?
Fortunately, few people in the world have seen the true face of the emperor, so Yang Guang has not been found here.

With anxious and complicated feelings, Zhang Xutuo came to the Lord's Mansion building, climbed up to the fourth floor, and came in front of Xu Mu.

"General Zhang? Can you see Lao Yang? How is your ability? Am I right?" Xu Mu was at his desk handling the follow-up business of Wanmin Square, when he looked up and saw Zhang Xutuo, he asked casually.

When Zhang Xutuo heard Lao Yang's name, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Immediately, with a "plop", he knelt down at the door.

On the contrary, Xu Mu was stunned. He hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Xutuo, and couldn't help asking: "What's the meaning of General Zhang? Could it be that Lao Yang and the others looked down on you because they didn't think you were a scholar?"

Is this still available?

Speaking of this, Xu Mu's expression turned pale, and he said angrily, "General Zhang, don't worry, I'll let you decide! Lao Yang wants to come and go to the construction site, soldier, call Lao Yang over here!"

Xu Mu has always protected his weaknesses and couldn't see his own people being bullied, so he immediately called a guard soldier and asked him to bring someone over.

But when Zhang Xutuo heard this, the original tough veteran actually... slumped to the ground and sat at the door of Princess Xu Mu's office.

"This... this... this..." Zhang Xutuo's lips trembled, and the Lord's words just now echoed in his mind.

He is going to teach Lao Yang a lesson and make decisions for himself...

"No! No! No, my lord—" Zhang Xutuo reacted and shouted quickly.

The loud voice startled Xu Mu.

After the soldiers left, Xu Mu helped Zhang Xutuo up, let him sit on the beard stool, and carefully observed Zhang Mengnan.

Presumably something happened to Lao Yang, otherwise he wouldn't have made him look like this macho Zhang.

"What's the matter? Tell me what you have to say, since he wasn't the one who bullied you, why are you so out of your mind?" Xu Mu asked with a frown.

Zhang Xutuo opened his mouth, thinking about what he saw today, but suddenly he didn't know where to start.

Xu Mu was not in a hurry. When he slowly recovered, he saw that Zhang Mengnan's mental state was so out of order, and he must have been stimulated by something.

It's fine if it has nothing to do with Lao Yang and the others, but if it has something to do with them, Xu Mu must punish Lao Yang and Lao Lai.

Zhang Mengnan, who he had worked so hard to rescue two years ago, is currently the most precious asset in Wanmin City besides him.

There is no room for loss.

After a long time, Zhang Xutuo's overwhelmed mood finally calmed down. He took a long breath and leaned on the chair to keep himself from going limp.

"My lord, do you know... who is the man with the surname Yang?"

He asked such a sentence in an extremely complicated tone.
