Zheng Fugui nodded heavily and listened to his cousin’s words. Although he did not understand the intention of doing this, he did not need to know. He only needed to understand that everyone would harm him, but he would not harm him.”l’ll go over now.”
Just as she was about to leave, she was pulled back by Zhang Ronghua.
She glared at his puzzled gaze. ‘”‘1 haven’t finished speaking. What are you in a hurry for?”
He continued to listen.
“If he asks you if you’ve seen me, answer truthfully and say that you met me on the way.’”‘
“Cousin, wouldn’t this involve you?”
Zhang Ronghua shook his head. Zheng Fugui still couldn’t understand. He was one of his men, and he would listen to his words. How could he not ask him for permission for such a big matter?
With the Crown Prince’s intelligence, he did not even need to guess. As long as Zheng Fugui said it, he would be able to guess.
Just like how Ma Ping ‘an pretended to ask him casually, the moment he opened his mouth, he guessed that this was the Crown Prince’s intention. A confrontation between smart people was not that complicated, it was very simple!
“If you mention the transfer, he will guess it.”
She patted his shoulders twice.
“Go! Don’t give yourself any pressure.”
“Yes!” Zheng Fugui solemnly agreed and strode off toward the Eastern Palace. His face was filled with determination, and his eyes were filled with unprecedented determination.
She watched him disappear.
Zhang Ronghua still had something he didn’t say. The Crown Prince wouldn’t ask him if he had seen him. If he didn’t ask, both sides would pretend that this matter had never happened. It would be the same as before. If he asked, even if this matter was resolved, there would still be a gap.
He was a smart man! He knew what to do.
He turned around and walked towards the mansion.
In the Eastern Palace.
As soon as Zheng Fugui arrived. the Flood Dragon Guard at the main gate
cupped his fists respectfully and bowed.”Greetings, Milord! ”
Other than Zhang Ronghua himself, no one knew about the infiltration of the Flood Dragon Guards.
On the surface.
Zheng Fugui was his only confidant, but he had many hidden in the dark. Otherwise, the Eastern Palace’s collection of martial arts was not without sword formations. Even if its power was not as strong as the Universal Sword Formation, it could still increase one’s own strength. Why would he waste his effort and teach them the Universal Sword Formation?
To be more ruthless.
When the time came for them to meet again, it was still unknown whether the Crown Prince could control the Flood Dragon Guards!
“Yes.”
Zheng Fugui nodded and entered the Eastern Palace. As soon as he reached the back hall, he met Ma Ping ‘an, who had changed his clothes and was preparing to go on duty. Seeing him, Ma Ping’ an panicked. He thought about what he had done. It was all secretly instructed by His Highness and not his own intention. Even if Zhang Ronghua Imew, he would not be able to find fault.
When they met last night, he didn’t mention it, so he probably didn’t know. The only trace of guilt he had dissipated.
He took a step forward and smiled like a flower like before. He reached out to pat Zheng Fugui’s shoulder, but the latter was expressionless and his eyes were cold. He glared at him like a sharp sword!
Ma Ping ‘an’s palm stopped in mid-air, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared. At this moment, his thoughts spun very quickly, and he thought about many things!
He must have told Zhang Ronghua about what happened to the Flood Dragon Guards recently. Combined with their behavior last night and this morning, they were both living in the Vermilion Bird Lane. The two mansions were not far from each other. It was very likely that they met on Zhang Ronghua’s way back and told him about it.
Zheng Fugui’s current attitude was obviously due to his support!
For some reason, Ma Ping ‘an’s heart was in a mess and he felt very uneasy!
He knew Zhang Ronghua’s ability and his position in His Highness ‘heart!
Even though they were both on duty, he dared to laze around, wander around, sneak into the kitchen, or find a place to sleep. His Highness would turn a blind eye and pretend not to see him.
If he had done so, he would have been arrested long ago and punished for dereliction of duty.
Jun Bujian.
His Highness rewarded him with the Golden Dragon Sword and the Phoenix Fan, and even brought him to see the Empress, making an exception to let him enter the palace arsenal? Even the current mansion and Qingyun Inn, which one of them wasn’t bestowed by His Highness?
This included Zheng Fugui’s mansion! Otherwise, without Zhang Ronghua’s connections, even if such a person worked until he died, he wouldn’t even be able to get a latrine in the Vermilion Bird Lane, let alone a mansion.
As for himself.
After working for so many years, not to mention these things, His Highness did not even reward him with an ordinary courtyard. This was the difference.
If he had a conflict with Zhang Ronghua, he could guess with his toes that His Highness would not stand on his side.
With a thought.
Ma Ping ‘an thought a lot. Before he could say anything, Zheng Fugui glanced at him and felt that it was a waste of his eyesight. He walked straight past him and walked towards the Xuanhe Hall.
He stood on the spot.
Seeing him enter the Xuanhe Hall, Ma Ping ‘an’s heart was uncertain. As a general of the Eastern Palace, was it wrong for him to listen to His Highness?
That’s right! The wrong thing was that he was not capable enough.
Zheng Fugui’s attitude had thrown him into a state of confusion. If he didn’t get to the bottom of this matter, he wouldn’t feel at ease!
In the main hall.
“Greetings, Your Highness!” Zheng Fugui cupped his fists and bowed.”
The Crown Prince had just finished his breakfast and was drinking his morning tea. When he finished his tea, he was ready to enter the palace and plan the location of Shangjing’s government. The night watchman he had caught was very tight-lipped. Ma Ping ‘an interrogated him for a long time, but he still did not speak.
On the surface, he did not blame him. He was very unhappy in his heart.
If Zhang Ronghua were to make a move, he would definitely be able to pry open this person’s mouth. However, he was now a member of the Scholar’s Hall. Although he was also a lieutenant general of the Eastern Palace’s Rong Guards, if that was all, it did not matter. With an order, he could come and serve at any time..
