Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 838 Living is not easy (7)

   It is raining in Yanzhou, and it is also raining in Chang'an City, but it is not as heavy as the rain in Yanzhou.

The rain was pattering, covering the entire Chang'an City, and also dripping on the tiles on the top of a small building in Chang'an City. There was a tinkling sound, as if playing a beautiful piece of music, and the small building The two inside sat opposite each other, silently.

Three-story small building with carved beams and painted columns on eight sides, red lacquer railings, and gold and silver thread decorations on the window panes. Cranes and peony patterns are outlined in the red and black tones of the small building as a whole, which looks solemn, elegant and magnificent. Rain curtains are formed along the tiles, which is more elegant.

  The dissatisfaction with Wang Yun in Chang'an City is not only Yang Biao, but also people like Zhao Wen. Zhao Wen was originally Jingzhao Juncheng, and was once one of the important figures in Sanfu, but now he is only a servant, and his position is not awkward. Although the Shandong gentry were lukewarm towards these officials who were originally from Chang'an, most of these people in Sanfu didn't have much idea, and they were in constant panic. Under such a situation, Zhao Wen wanted to get rid of the official servant and get Some real power is quite difficult.

Zhao Wen was originally full of heart to perform well in front of Wang Yun, using Wang Yun's tiger skin to gain more space and show off his ambitions, but with Wang Yun's self-willed use, or simply look at Zhao Wen These people are not eye-catching, so Zhao Wen's little calculation can only be put to waste.

Zhao Wen witnessed the downfall of officials from Dong Zhuo's side, leaving tempting vacancies one after another, but he couldn't find any way out, so he could only suppress his full of desires deep down. On the surface, he still talked and laughed freely. , But in fact, the eyes are about to burst into flames.

Wang Yun jumped up too fast. Although he was once considered a high-level figure, he did not show a sufficient talent base in this power struggle with Yuan Kai and Dong Zhuo. It is like a castle in the sky. Although it is beautiful, it is crumbling. , so when Yang Biao showed a little bit of goodwill, Zhao Wen immediately chose the Hongnong Yang family with a more personnel foundation...

Yang Biao was originally a figure at the level of the Sangong. After several ups and downs in the officialdom, these days, Yang Biao and Li Jue and Guo Si from the east of the city secretly communicated with each other. Seeing that Wang Yun could be brought down by the remnants of Xiliang, he couldn't help but frowned. The eyes are happy.

But at this time today, Yang Biao's face darkened again. The servants who came to serve him couldn't help trembling, for fear of doing something wrong, which would provoke Yang Biao's anger from nowhere. Fortunately, Yang Biao Ordered to drive away all the servants far away, and these servants breathed a sigh of relief, so that disaster would not fall from the sky.

In the small building, Yang Biao's face is like water. Although he looks calm on the surface, without his smile, he is like an unfathomably deep pool. It is extremely cold, and he doesn't speak. He just keeps playing with a jade Ruyi didn't say a word amidst the pattering rain.

   Zhao Wen looked calm, just waiting for Yang Biao to speak.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Biao put Yu Ruyi heavily on the table, and said in a deep voice, "Zi Rou! Why did you say that! Jingzhao City has a solid army, why worry about it? , some Xiliang thieves, if they repeat a little bit, why are you afraid? At this moment, you don’t inspect the city defenses, calibrate your weapons, and have one heart and one mind, but you come here to talk nonsense..."

Yang Biao paused for a while, stood up and continued to say with a straight face: "...Zirou, when the government and the people are working together to tide over the difficulties, how can they hinder each other? Your words, I must be a Jishan to wash my ears! Forgive me Li, let’s go! Let’s go!”

  Seeing Yang Biao turning his back and waving his long sleeves to drive him away, Zhao Wen remained calm, stood up slowly, saluted Yang Biao, then took a few steps back, turned around and was about to leave the small building.

  Yang Biao watched Zhao Wen walk to the stairs step by step from the corner of his eye, and suddenly said, "Zirou, hold on!"

  Zhao Wen turned around respectfully after hearing the sound, and did not walk back directly, but slightly cupped his hands, waiting for Yang Biao to speak.

  Yang Biao walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and after a while he said in a low voice, "What do you want to do?"

Zhao Wen smiled lightly, and replied in a low voice: "Someone in Jingzhao has many old acquaintances, and he can be driven by Yang Gong... People say that if the sky gives it to you, you should take it yourself, and if you don't take it, you will suffer from it." ...A certain one is sincere, and I hope that Yang Gong will think twice..."

  Zhao Wen spoke every word very slowly, but his words were true, which finally made Yang Biao's always stern face slightly loosen.

   "Zi Rou, please sit down..." Yang Biao asked Zhao Wen to sit down again, the look in his eyes changed, and he was silent for a long time, before finally saying slowly: "...Let me think about this matter..."

  Zhao Wen also stopped being talkative, so he bowed his hands and said goodbye to Yang Biao. Before leaving, he suddenly said: "...Yang Gong, there is another person, and Yang Gong needs to pay more attention..."

"who?"

   "Protecting Xiong Zhonglang Fei Qian Fei Ziyuan."

   "Why?"

  Yang Biao asked lightly.

   "First there was auspiciousness to rectify his name, then there was a tribute to help him, and now he is spreading his proclamation to increase his prestige... This man is quite talented, but... Yang Gongzhuo sees thousands of miles, so I understand it." Zhao Wengong said with his hands clasped.

  Yang Biao nodded slightly, but didn't say anything, Zhao Wen didn't say anything more, just cupped his hands again, and then retreated respectfully.

Yang Biao naturally knew about Fei Qian, and he knew quite a lot about it. In Yang Biao's eyes, the call to challenge Yinshan was nothing more than sensationalism. The champion Hou won the victory over Yinshan after many hardships, but now a Isn't it absurd that a mere guardian of Xiong Zhonglang thinks of greedy for his own merits?

   If you want to become the second champion Hou, then you have to see if you have the ability of the champion...

  But the most important thing now is not the bitter cold place, but the place in front of you. As long as you win this round, you will naturally have the opportunity to clean it up slowly.

   It's just that Zhao Wen has an unusually keen sense of touch, but whether it can be used or not, it still needs to be carefully evaluated. The closer to the final critical moment, the more cautious we must be, and there must be no mistakes.

  When Zhao Wen arrived at the bottom of the small building, servants from the Yang family naturally greeted him, opened the oil umbrella, protected Zhao Wen from the rain, and went all the way away.

Standing on the small building, Yang Biao watched the oil umbrella covering Zhao Wen go farther and farther away, the expression in his eyes was changing, and after a long time, he suddenly sighed softly, with a deep tired look on his face, "...he It’s hard to come, why bother to come…”

Yang Biao immediately turned around and went down the small building, leaving only an exquisite crane-shaped incense burner in the small building room, still slowly rising up the curling green smoke, slowly drifting out of the small building window, but Blown directly into the air by the wind and rain...
