Zhao Yunze and Li Ren followed Han Guangsheng into Dingxiang City.Two Turkic soldiers followed them closely.Han Guangsheng was suspicious at this time, but because of the two Turkic soldiers following, he couldn't ask Zhao Yunze.He and Zhao Yunze just talked very casually and said some rambling words.This kind of conversation is very tiring, obviously these three people don't have many deep friendships, but they have to pretend to be very affectionate and quite familiar.Zhao Yunze was dealing with Han Guangsheng while looking at the scene in Dingxiang City.Most of the houses on both sides of the street have had their door panels removed, and some of the more solid-looking residents have half of their houses exposed.On the contrary, for those who are already poor, the damage to their houses is not serious.The streets were deserted, and there were hardly any civilians to be seen, except for the officers and soldiers patrolling the streets.Occasionally, people appear on the streets, and they are also in a hurry.From time to time, I also saw officers and soldiers patrolling the streets stopping the people on the street to interrogate a few words.The people were all miserable.There are brave people who will spit on the backs of officers and soldiers.There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust.Zhao Yunze came up with this sentence in his heart.Three years ago, during the Battle of Jingyang, the people of Jingyang City fully supported the Tang Army.Although many people's trees were also cut down, they were all donated by the people to defend the city.On the other hand, in today's Dingxiang City, the people don't seem to be waiting to see the officers and soldiers, so it's no wonder that when they are at the city gate, Covolane will say that the people in Dingxiang City want to escape.Zhao Yunze also saw an interesting thing, a group of Han officers and soldiers patrolling the street and a team of Turkic soldiers met on the street, for some reason, there was a conflict, both sides pointed knives and guns at each other, quarreling with each other.It wasn't until Han Guangsheng stepped forward and reprimanded the Han officers and soldiers a few words, and said a few words to the Turkic officers and soldiers that the two sides gave up.and they patrolled the streets."
Old Han, you are doing well in Dingxiang City, not only the Han officers and soldiers buy your account, but even the Turks give you face," Zhao Yunze said to Han Guangsheng with a smile.Han Guangsheng said: "Dingxiang is only half a county.Naturally, there are few civil and military officials.I, the captain of the city gate, can be regarded as a high-ranking official among military attachés.Otherwise, how can I be qualified to recommend the two to the King of Sui?"
”Zhao Yunze nodded, and he glanced back at the two Turkic soldiers.Seeing that the two Turkic soldiers didn't pay attention to him and Han Guangsheng at this time, he lowered his voice and asked Han Guangsheng: "The Han and Turkic people in the city don't seem to deal with each other" Han Guangsheng gritted his teeth and whispered: "It's all because the Turks deceive people too much" Zhao Yunze had a spectrum in his heart.If you don't deal with it, I'm afraid you'll twist it into a rope.After walking for about two quarters of an hour, Han Guangsheng took Zhao Yunze to Yang Zhengdao's palace.This royal palace was rebuilt from the former county warden's house.It is said to be a royal palace, but in fact it is a slightly more luxurious official office.At the gate of the palace, there are guards on the left and right.On one side were Han Chinese guards, and on the other side were Turkic soldiers."
The King of Sui actually has Turkic palace guards," Zhao Yunze said in surprise.Han Guangsheng said: "Not before, after General Kang Sumi led troops to garrison Dingxiang, for the safety of the King of Sui, he sent two hundred Turkic soldiers and three hundred Han soldiers to guard the palace together. ”Zhao Yunze said in his heart: Where is Kang Sumi's safety for Yang Zhengdao, it is obvious that he is not worried about Yang Zhengdao.As a result, it becomes more difficult to say that Yang Zhengdao is descending."
Brother Zhao, Brother Li, the two of you are waiting here, and you have seen King Sui in the palace."
Han Guangsheng arched his hand to Zhao Yunze and Li Ren and said."
That's how it should be," Zhao Yunze nodded.Han Guangsheng entered the palace.Zhao Yunze and Li Ren waited outside the palace gate for about a quarter of an hour, and a person dressed as a eunuch came out."
Who are Zhao Ze and Li Yi" The eunuch raised his chin, his eyes squinted at the sky, and he didn't look at Zhao Yunze and Li Ren.Zhao Yunze and Li Ren laughed in their hearts, this Han Guangsheng is quite talented, and he actually changed the names of the two of us."
Your Excellency, please.A certain is Zhao Ze, this is my junior brother Li Yi. ”Zhao Yunze arched his hand at the eunuch."
It's the two of you.The king of Sui wants to summon you, so come with so-and-so. ”The eunuch dropped a word, turned around and walked into the palace."
There's Lord Law."
Zhao Yunze and Li Ren hurriedly followed.The two Turkic soldiers who followed from the city gate saw that Zhao Yunze and Li Ren had indeed entered the palace, so they returned to the city gate and reported to Kovotane."
I met the King of Sui for a while, and I followed the rules carefully," the eunuch said as he walked."
We understand."
Zhao Yunze coped.As they walked, Zhao Yunze and Li Ren looked at the terrain and buildings in the palace.This is also a reconnaissance infiltration between them.Walking to the door of a "palace", the eunuch asked Zhao Yunze and Li Ren to wait outside the door, and he entered the palace by himself.It didn't take long for this time before the eunuch came out again and informed Zhao Yunze and Li Ren to come in to pay a visit.Zhao Yunze and Li Ren tidied up their robes up and down, and entered the hall side by side.In the middle of the main hall, a young man in a black robe and a draped crown was sitting facing the doorway.Han Guangsheng stood below the young man's side.Oh, this is Yang Zhengdao, very young, that is, in his early twenties.His appearance should be the crown suit of the prince of the Sui Dynasty."
Zhao Ze Liyi, a villager in the mountains and wilderness, meet the King of Sui" Zhao Yunze and Li Ren reluctantly bowed to Yang Zhengdao."
Two strong men are even."
Yang Zhengdao spoke in a lazy tone."
King Xie Sui" Zhao Yunze and Li Ren stood up."
Listen to Han Aiqing, the two strong men want to help this king defend the city," Yang Zhengdao asked.Zhao Yunze said: "Back to the words of the King of Sui, I have practiced martial arts with my junior brother Li Yi for many years.I always wanted to be an official, but no one appreciated him.A few days ago, we heard that there would be a war in Dingxiang, so we wanted to try our luck and see if we could ask for an official and a half-position here at the King of Sui.It just so happened that Captain Han was an old acquaintance, so he asked Captain Han to recommend him to King Sui.Abruptly, I also hope that the King of Sui will forgive his sins" Yang Zhengdao smiled slightly and said: "Zhao Zhuangshi is really speaking.At present, Dingxiang is the time to employ people, if you really have the ability, you will not be alone. ”"Thank you King Sui for giving us two a chance" Zhao Yunze arched his hand at Yang Zhengdao again, "The first time I met King Sui, I brought a small gift, and I hope King Sui will accept it with a smile." ”"Hehe, the two strong men have a heart.Bring us your gifts. ”Yang Zhengdao smiled and said.Zhao Yunze untied a small bag from his waist, held it up with both hands, and said, "This is a jade pendant given to Yu by a certain elder."
Listening to the elder, this jade pendant is extremely precious.A certain person in the mountains and wilderness does not understand this.Please also ask the King of Sui to appreciate. ”A eunuch stepped forward, took Zhao Yunze's bag, first untied the silk thread, opened the bag and looked at it, and then presented it to Yang Zhengdao.Yang Zhengdao took the bag and took out a one-inch square white jade ornament from it.As soon as he saw that ornament, Yang Zhengdao's face changed in shock:
