Chapter 724

In addition, Zhang Zhihong has been the right prime minister of Ningguo for a long time. He is the head of the civil officials of Ningguo and has his own deep-rooted power. His decision can affect a large number of important officials in the court of Ningguo. This is also one of the main reasons why Tang Yin took a fancy to him.

Zhang Zhihong is in a high position and it is not easy to get close to him, but it depends on luck. Tang Yin and Cheng Jin only waited outside the right prime minister's mansion for two days before they found an opportunity.

That day, at noon, Zhang Zhihong was invited to leave the mansion and go to Zuixianju, the most famous restaurant in Liangzhou.

Tang Yin and Cheng Jin were keenly aware that the opportunity to contact Zhang Zhihong had come.

The two followed Zhang Zhihong's carriage to Zuixianju.

After arriving, seeing that Zhang Zhihong had been in for a while, Tang Yin and Cheng Jin walked in. The shop assistant came forward and asked with a smile: "Sir, are you two?"

Tang Yin did not answer, Cheng Jin said: "Yes."

"Are you sitting upstairs or downstairs?"

"Did Zhang Xiang come just now?"

"Yes, read the full text!"

"Prepare a single room next to Zhang Xiang for me." Cheng Jin said expressionlessly, and at the same time pinched a piece of silver from his arms and put it in the waiter's hand.

The waiter was knowledgeable and guessed that these two might be people who asked Zhang Zhihong to do things for them.

He took the silver with a smile, nodded repeatedly, led the way, and let Tang Yin and Cheng Jin go to the third floor.

As they walked, the waiter introduced: "The third floor is full of luxurious rooms, the price is not cheap..." Looking at Tang Yin and Cheng Jin's clothes, the waiter was really worried that they couldn't afford it.

Cheng Jin sneered, took out a gold ingot weighing twenty taels, held it in his palm, and asked: "Are these enough?"

Gulp! The waiter looked at the gold ingots and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. The smile on his face became even stronger. He nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "Enough, enough, enough." You can't judge a person by his appearance!

Entering the private room, the waiter began to introduce again: "Sir, the girls in our store are good at singing and dancing..."

Before he finished speaking, Cheng Jin waved his hand and said: "No need. Just bring up your good wine and food."

"Yes, yes, yes! Sir, wait a moment, I will prepare it right away." The waiter likes this kind of generous guests the most and ran away in a flash.

After the waiter left, Cheng Jin looked at Tang Yin and whispered: "Brother, there are several masters of the guards around Zhang Zhihong."

Tang Yin nodded slightly. When Zhang Zhihong came out of the mansion, he had already noticed that he didn't know how high the other party's specific cultivation was, but the spiritual pressure naturally revealed between his hands and feet should not be underestimated. He picked up the teapot on the table, sniffed it slightly, then poured himself a cup of tea and said, "We are not here to fight. Whether it is powerful or not has little to do with us."

"If big brother fails to convince Zhang Zhihong and falls out..."

"If you can't beat him, it's always okay for you and me to run away." Tang Yin said with a faint smile.

Cheng Jin didn't ask any more questions, stood up, and whispered, "Big brother, I'll go outside to watch."

"Yeah! Be careful."

"Yes!"

Zhang Zhihong next door seemed to be having a good chat with the person who invited him. Laughter came from the private room from time to time, mixed with the pleasant laughter of women.

It took more than half an hour before Zhang Zhihong came out of the private room, apparently to relieve himself. At this time, Cheng Jin, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came forward.

Before he got close, two figures flashed in front of him like lightning and stretched out their hands to block his way.

These two were middle-aged men in their forties and fifties. Because of their superb cultivation, their actual age was older than their appearance. The two men looked at Cheng Jin without blinking.

Cheng Jin didn't even look at the two of them. Through the gap between them, he looked at Zhang Zhihong behind him. He bowed and saluted, and asked calmly: "Is that Zhang Xiang in front?"

Zhang Zhihong didn't know Cheng Jin, and looked puzzled. He asked: "Your Excellency is..."

"My son has admired Zhang Xiang for a long time, and invites Zhang Xiang to meet."

Although Cheng Jin was dressed in a rough and low-grade manner, his attitude when speaking was neither humble nor arrogant, calm and polite. He was not at all flustered in front of the prime minister. He must be no ordinary servant. Zhang Zhihong has been an official for many years and knows a lot of people. Naturally, he can see that Cheng Jin is different. He asked curiously: "Your Excellency is..."

"My son heard that Zhang Xiang likes rare treasures, so he prepared a gift for Zhang Xiang." As he spoke, Cheng Jin took out a small red brocade box from his arms and pretended to walk towards Zhang Zhihong.

The two middle-aged men in front of him were extremely cautious and took action at the same time to stop him. One of the two guards behind Zhang Zhihong walked out, took the brocade box, looked through it carefully, and found no problems, so he handed it to Zhang Zhihong.

Zhang Zhihong took it and opened it. In the brocade box was a finely carved jadeite, which was green all over without a trace of mixed colors. The workmanship was fine, and it was obviously made by a famous artist. Zhang Zhihong had seen too many treasures, and he knew at a glance that this piece of jadeite was very valuable. Although it was not priceless, it was also hard to find.

His eyes lit up at first, but soon returned to normal. He closed the brocade box and handed it to the guards around him casually, and then asked: "Where is the noble man?"

"It's next door."

"Oh? Why do you want to see the real face?"

"I just want to meet the noble man."

"Haha!" Zhang Zhihong laughed. He liked the jadeite sent by the other party very much. At this time, he didn't want to go to the toilet. He was full of curiosity and wanted to see which nobleman was so generous and gave him a piece of top-grade jadeite without meeting him.

He nodded towards Cheng Jin and said, "Lead the way."

"This way, Prime Minister Zhang!"

The other party did not reject him, and Cheng Jin was secretly relieved. He said that Zhang Zhihong liked rare treasures, but that was just hearsay. If the other party didn't accept this at all, it would be troublesome. In addition, Cheng Jinqing clearly felt a heavy sense of oppression from the four guards around Zhang Zhihong.

Under the guidance of Cheng Jin, Zhang Zhihong walked into the private room where Tang Yin was. The first time he saw Tang Yin, Zhang Zhihong felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

Seeing Cheng Jin bringing Zhang Zhihong in, Tang Yin, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, stood up, held his hands in his hands with a smile, and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, please be polite."

Cheng Jin was dressed in ordinary clothes. After all, he was a servant. He didn't expect his master to be dressed in such ordinary clothes. However, the aura that the other party's body naturally exuded should not be underestimated. Zhang Zhihong knew that it was the unique temperament of people who often give orders.

"Young master is..."

"My name cannot be known to anyone at will." As he spoke, Tang Yin looked at the four guards behind Zhang Zhihong with a smile. The implication was that he wanted to send these four people away.

Zhang Zhihong smiled, looked back, and said, "They are all the truth's close retainers. You don't have to worry about them hearing what you want to say to the truth."

"The matter is very important, so I have to be cautious."

"Oh? How big of a deal is it?"

"It is related to Prime Minister Zhang's wealth and life, his future future, and even the prosperity and wealth of future generations."

Tang Yin did not say this sentence in the Ningguo dialect, but in the Fengguo dialect.

Zhang Zhihong is so smart, every strand of his hair is empty. After listening to Tang Yin's words, and then hearing his Fengguo dialect, I already understood in my heart that this person is probably the secret historian sent by Fengguo to Ningguo. , came to find him, if nothing unexpected happened, he was here to win him over to Feng Guo.

Wanting to understand the identity and intentions of the other party, Zhang Zhihong instinctively felt rejection in his heart, but he couldn't make it clear. Once he made it clear, he would have to break up, and Zhang Zhihong didn't want to form a personal feud with Feng Guo yet.

He smiled slightly and said: "Such a big thing, haha, I can't bear it, so you'd better stop talking." As he spoke, he turned around and waved to the guard behind him, who immediately took the brocade he had just accepted. He took out the box and handed it to Zhang Zhihong, who handed it to Tang Yin and said, "Please take back this meeting gift, too!"

Tang Yin did not answer, but looked at Zhang Zhihong with a smile, and said with a double entendre: "On the one hand, there is glory in the world, and on the other hand, there is hell. Could it be that Prime Minister Zhang wants to abandon the former and choose the latter? Doesn't Prime Minister Zhang make plans for his descendants?" ?”

Zhang Zhihong took a breath, and the smile on his face seemed a little stiff. He secretly thought that this person was so brave. In the capital of Ningguo, he dared to threaten his right-hand man like this. However, he was also extremely curious about Tang Yin's identity. , I feel that his status in Feng Country is definitely not low, at least he is an important minister who can participate in Feng Country's state affairs.

After a moment of pause, the expression on Zhang Zhihong's face returned to his natural expression. He said with a smile: "It's not certain where the prosperity of the world is and where it is the endless hell. What if I mistakenly mistake hell for prosperity? It will be too late to regret it." "

Tang Yin said with a smile: "If Prime Minister Zhang thinks so, then I can only say that Prime Minister Zhang is too optimistic about the current situation. The overall situation has been decided, and the way of heaven is so, how can human power stop it? Anyone who dares to change destiny is undoubtedly a mantis. Self-destruction.”

Zhang Zhihong took another breath, and at the same time, his eyes flashed with fire.

Tang Yin did not take his anger seriously, his eyes fell on the brocade box in Zhang Zhihong's hand, and he said slowly: "I can guarantee that if Prime Minister Zhang accepts this meeting gift from me today, there will be hundreds or thousands of copies in the future. , Thousands of gifts are waiting for Prime Minister Zhang, and in addition, Prime Minister Zhang’s career can be further improved!”

This is too strong a statement. Zhang Zhihong was originally the Right Prime Minister, and he held a high-level official position. If he reached the next level, wouldn't he be the best prince? As soon as Tang Yin finished speaking, Zhang Zhihong's body suddenly trembled. He stared straight at Tang Yin, secretly guessing who this young man who looked young was? Why do you dare to say such a thing? What is his intention?

There were too many questions in his mind. Finally, he gritted his teeth, turned his head and said, "Zhang Yuan stays, everyone else gets out!"

His four retainers were all confused about the conversation between their master and the other party. They had no idea what the two of them were talking about or what kind of riddles they were playing. They let themselves go out before they could figure out the identity of the other party. Then, The three of them were very worried and said in unison: "Master Xiang, this person's origin is unknown, he is not an ordinary person..."

Before they could finish speaking, Zhang Zhihong shouted in a deep voice: "Get out!"
