Zhao Yun helped Yang Zhen up from the ground. She looked at Yang Zhen and shook her head without saying a word. Yang Zhen looked at Zhao Yun blankly and asked,""Master, why are you here?”
"I've always been protecting you in secret…" Zhao Yun sighed and said. You heard everything just now, didn't you?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said," Master, I heard everything. But I just don't understand. I'm not even a regular general. Why would the Prime Minister and the Minister work together to harm me?"”
"Didn't I tell you?" Zhao Yun said. This was fate. Before the former Emperor set out for Wu, he had asked an expert to perform a divination. The divination indicated that the Great Han Dynasty would obtain a general star. The Great Han Dynasty would become stronger in the hands of that general star. He would lead the Great Han Dynasty's army to Luoyang and recover the old capital. The former emperor and you met in the midst of the flames of war, which happened to fulfill the divination of the master. Therefore, when the former emperor was seriously ill, he wrote three letters and sent them out secretly. Hanzhong Prefecture Governor, North General Wei Yan, Chen Dao, and I each have a letter. It says that we must help you to become a truly independent general. However, the matter was somehow leaked out and was found out by Prime Minister Zhuge and Li Yan. Both of them are people who have a strong desire for power, so they plotted to assassinate you time and time again.”
"Master, am I really the general star you're talking about?" Yang Zhen asked.”
"What nonsense are you spouting?" Zhao Yun suddenly snapped. Could it be that you dare to question the former emperor's foresight?”
"I wouldn't dare," Yang Zhen hurriedly said."Master, please calm down."”
Zhao Yun glanced at the spear in Yang Zhen's hand and stared at it with envy. After a long time, Zhao Yun came back to her senses and asked,""Zi Yuan, where did you get that spear in your hand? This gun is really extraordinary!"
Yang Zhen held up the swimming dragon in his hands with both hands and presented it to Zhao Yun. He said,"Master, you have good eyesight. This spear is called Wandering Dragon, and it was just forged a few days ago.”
Women loved beauty, and men loved weapons. This had happened since ancient times. Zhao Yun was a man among men. Moreover, he was also a famous spear user. Naturally, he would be interested in high-quality weapons. When he saw the dragon in Yang Zhen's hand, he knew that it was not an ordinary item. It was not surprising that he would want to borrow it. Zhao Yun took the Roaming Dragon. The moment he held it, he felt that it was quite heavy. He was overjoyed and immediately began to dance. His martial arts skills were outstanding, and the dragon had a hidden power. As soon as he danced, Yang Zhen saw a green dragon circling in the dark night, looking especially powerful.
It had been a long time since Zhao Yun had practiced her spear techniques. Now that she had started, she unleashed her spear techniques one by one, displaying everything she had learned in her life. Yang Zhen stood at the side and saw the unpredictable green light of the swimming dragon swimming around. He couldn't help but shout. Halfway through, Yang Zhen was suddenly dumbfounded. The spear technique that Zhao Yun had used was something he had never seen before. The perfect connection between the moves was something he would never be able to achieve. Although Yang Zhen had learned a set of spear techniques from Zhao Yun, it was only the tip of the iceberg in Zhao Yun's martial arts.
After a long, long time, Zhao Yun finally finished practicing his spear technique. When he stopped, he held the swimming dragon in his hand and continuously praised,"Good spear! It is indeed a good spear. It can be said to be on par with my Silver Dragon Spear.”Yang Zhen was also very happy to see Zhao Yun so happy. After all, a martial artist would be the loneliest if he had no opponent. Unfortunately, Zhao Yun was the loneliest person. In the Han, Wei, and Wu Kingdoms, those who could match him in martial arts had already died before him. All these years, as a martial artist, Zhao Yun had endured loneliness alone. She had never been as happy as she was today.
"Master, this roaming dragon is really powerful in your hands. It matches your status very well. Why don't I give it to you as a gift?”Seeing how much Zhao Yun cherished Wandering Dragon, Yang Zhen had this thought and blurted it out.
When Zhao Yun heard this, her originally happy face immediately turned dark. She threw the swimming dragon in her hand to Yang Zhen and said indifferently,"Who do you think Master is?"
Yang Zhen took the dragon. Seeing Zhao Yun's expression, he quickly explained,""Master, don't misunderstand. This dragon is quite heavy, and it takes a lot of effort to hold it. It can't play any role in my hands. Just now, my master played the dragon with great power. It seems that it is much better in my hands than in my hands. In this world, no one else could unleash the true power of the roaming dragon except his master. Master, this is my filial piety. Please accept it!”
Zhao Yun's gloomy face slowly changed.""Who did you learn this from? Master was a martial artist, so it was normal for him to cherish weapons like treasures. If the dragon was yours, then it was yours. Master would just borrow it to play with it for fun. Moreover, this dragon is quite heavy and not as light as my White Dragon Silver Spear. It takes a lot of effort for me to wield it. You can keep this spear. It can help you achieve great things in the future.”
Yang Zhen knew that Zhao Yun was unwilling to accept the Wandering Dragon as a gift, so he said,""Master, your disciple obeys."
Zhao Yun nodded and said," It's almost dawn. You've been running away from the city for so long, but you haven't had a good rest this night. Go back first and come back here tonight to see what their attitudes are. We'll have a good plan."”
" Master, come back with me," Yang Zhen asked." This is the wilderness. Where are you going to stay for the day?"”
Zhao Yun smiled and said," I know that you are very concerned about me. However, other than you, no one else knows that I have come to Yong 'an. I don't want to complicate things." You don't have to worry about where to stay. Go back quickly. If you go back late, if someone finds out that you sneaked out at night, I'm afraid they'll alert the enemy.”
Yang Zhen bowed to Zhao Yun and said,""Master, take care. I'll go back now.”
Zhao Yun waved her hand, indicating for him to go back quickly. At the same time, Zhao Yun turned around and left. Yang Zhen looked at Zhao Yun's back and muttered to himself,""Master, take care!" As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zhen turned around and left with the swimming dragon.
The sky was starting to brighten, and everything was waking up. Yang Zhen walked alone on the way back. The cool morning wind blew, and he breathed in the fresh air. He felt quite refreshed. The rooster announced the dawn, the morning birds sang, and the sun gradually rose in the east. The hazy mist also dissipated. A folk song came from somewhere. The melodious singing penetrated the early autumn morning, making it seem particularly pleasant.
Yang Zhen returned to his room and closed the door. He was prepared to make up for the few hours he had not slept that night. He put Wandering Dragon down. He was already extremely sleepy. He did not even take off his clothes and fell onto the bed. Yang Zhen had just closed his eyes when he heard someone knocking on the door. He was furious and secretly cursed the person's ancestors. He didn't want to get up and covered his head with the blanket. However, the person who knocked on the door didn't let it go. The knocking sound entered Yang Zhen's ears again and again, shaking his eardrums. He couldn't take it anymore. He lifted the blanket and jumped out of bed. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes and walked towards the door.
The door opened and a general in armor stood outside. There was a deep scar on his dark face. When Yang Zhen saw this, his anger turned into joy and he quickly said,""General, why is it you?"
That person was Chen Dao. He had been training soldiers for the past few days and had no time to meet Yang Zhen. He had finished his work the day before yesterday and wanted to talk to him, but Yang Zhen had not returned. Yesterday, he heard from the soldiers that Yang Zhen had returned. He had wanted to look for him, but it was already late, so he woke up early today and rushed to Yang Zhen's room.
Chen Dao strode into Yang Zhen's room and sat down on a stool. He asked,""Zi Yuan, where have you been these past few days? I couldn't find you!"
Yang Zhen walked into the room, took a stool, and sat opposite Chen Dao. As he poured water for Chen Dao, he said,"General, I went to the Taoist temple outside the city these days to forge a sword for Prime Minister Zhuge. I just came back yesterday.”
Yang Zhen handed a cup of water to Chen Dao, who took the cup and placed it on the table.""I'm not thirsty!" As soon as she put down the cup, she heard him say with a serious expression,"Zi Yuan, let me ask you. What do you plan to do with the secret letter Zhuge Liang gave us?”
Yang Zhen had forgotten about this matter during his few days away. When Chen Dao mentioned it, he immediately felt a headache. He had just learned that Zhuge Liang was going to work with Li Yan to harm him at night. Now, Zhuge Liang had ordered an assassination on Li Yan. It was the only way to get rid of him. He was really confused. He couldn't describe the Great Han Dynasty's Prime Minister, who was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people. "General, how do you think we should deal with this?" he asked slowly.”
"You brat, I asked you first, and now you're asking me." Tell me your opinion first."
Yang Zhen chuckled and pondered for a moment before saying,""General, why don't we give him a show of obedience? Just say that the Minister had always been protected and it was not easy to make a move. Ask the Prime Minister to send someone else.”
Chen Dao said," No, no. Although I don't have much of a relationship with Kong Ming, I've known him for many years. I know him well. If I can't complete what he has arranged, he will definitely find an excuse to find trouble with you." This plan doesn't work. Think of another one!"
Yang Zhenzhen was a little distressed and said,"Since he is killing two birds with one stone, why is the general still willing to listen to him?”
Chen Dao replied," You don't know. No matter what he does, he is still the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, the entrusted minister of the late Emperor, and the Prime Minister's father of His Majesty. In the past few years, he had done his best for the Great Han Dynasty. He had built a water conservancy project in Hanzhong, implemented the policy of opening up wasteland in the country, and allied with Dongwu in diplomacy. All of this was for the country. It was just that he was blinded by power and could not extricate himself. He lacked people to advise him, which led to his current situation.”
"General, my master…" Yang Zhen said. Wait, isn't General Zhao Yun on good terms with the Prime Minister? Why didn't he remonstrate?”
Chen Dao said," You're only looking at the surface. In reality, Zilong has already been taken over by Kong Ming. He's not the East Suppressing General, but he only has so many subordinates." Last year, Zhuge Liang ordered Wei Yan to lead his troops into the Qiang to help the King of Qiang resist the Wei army. Zilong volunteered to take the lead, but Zhuge Liang refused to let him go to the battlefield, saying that one of the Five Tiger Generals was still alive. In fact, to put it bluntly, Kong Ming was afraid that if he went to Hanzhong, his prestige would increase and the officials in Hanzhong would force him to stay. Kong Ming knew that Zi Long and Wen Chang were the former Emperor's trusted aides and was afraid that they would join forces.”
