Yang Zhen followed them all the way. In a short while, they had gone far and gradually arrived at the sparsely populated suburbs. The moon was bright and the stars were few. The clouds were light and the wind was light. The night was quiet and there was no sound. Only a few stars blinked in the sky. Unknowingly, Yang Zhen had arrived at a small forest. The two black shadows in front of him suddenly stopped. He hid behind a tree and held his breath, his eyes fixed on the two black shadows.
The two black figures stood there, pacing back and forth. They seemed very anxious, as if they were waiting for someone. Under the moonlight, Yang Zhen carefully sized up the two people from afar. Both of them were dressed in black, and their faces were covered with a black cloth. One of them held a fan in his hand, and the other held a steel knife in his hand. As time passed, the hooting of owls could be heard. It sounded particularly loud in the quiet forest.
The black-clothed man with the fan stood there quietly, waiting. The black-clothed man with the steel knife was quite anxious. He kept pacing and swaying in front of the black-clothed man with the fan. Finally, the man in black with the steel knife could not stand the loneliness and said,""Big brother, do you think he will come?"
"Don't worry, he won't break the promise." The man in black with the fan said.”
The man in black with the steel knife shook his head and said,""I don't think so. Master and his lord are political enemies. Why would he kindly invite us here?”
The man in black with the fan said," What do you know? This is called politics. There are no eternal friends in the world, and there will definitely be no eternal enemies." Since he dared to take this risk and personally asked us out, it means that he is very sincere. This is our territory, what are you afraid of?”
"Big brother, I'm not afraid, I'm worried." The man in black with the steel knife said.”
The black-clothed man with the fan said," Worry is fear. Be obedient for a while. You're swaying in front of me. You're making me annoyed."”
The black-clothed man with the steel knife replied with an " oh " and then stood behind the black-clothed man with the fan. His body did not move, but his head was still looking left and right. Yang Zhen did not dare to get too close to the two men in black, afraid that they would discover him. He hid in a tree far away from them, and could only vaguely hear their conversation. It was hazy and not very clear.
After a while, the dark clouds in the sky blocked the moon. They were thick and heavy, and did not seem to have dispersed at all. The earth lost the brightness of the moonlight and began to darken. At this moment, a hearty laugh suddenly rang out from the forest. Yang Zhen and the two men in black heard the laughter at the same time and knew that the person they were waiting for had arrived. The black-clothed man with the fan cupped his hands and said in a clear voice,"Friend, since you're here, why don't you show yourself?”
"Your master didn't come, but you sent two underlings. Is this sincerity?"”
Yang Zhen was hiding far away. It was dark at night, so he could only hear the voice, but he couldn't see how the person was dressed. However, when this person spoke, Yang Zhen was greatly surprised."This voice sounds familiar. Could it be him?”He did not dare to act rashly and could only hide behind the tree to listen to their conversation. However, the place where he hid was a little far from them, so he could not hear it very clearly. Therefore, Yang Zhen carefully moved forward, step by step. He was afraid that if he made too much noise, he would alarm the three people in the forest.
The man in black with the fan suddenly laughed and asked,"Didn't your master send you here? Is this your sincerity?”
Yang Zhen was already very close to them, but the weather was not good. There was no moonlight, and the forest was dark. He could not see who the two men in black were waiting for. Although he heard that person's voice, he did not dare to be rash. After all, there were many people in the world who had similar voices. At this moment, the tree he was hiding behind was already very close to them, but he could only hear their voices. He couldn't even see the two men in black. His night clothes had completely blended into the night, a perfect combination.
"My lord is busy every day. How can your master compare to him? Sending me here personally is already showing respect to your master.”Yang Zhen could tell that this was the voice of the person they were waiting for.
The man in black holding the fan snorted coldly and said,"My master has to deal with military affairs all day. How could he have so much free time to see you? Although you are an extremely important official, you still relied on conspiracies to succeed. If it wasn't for my master's deep righteousness and not competing with your family's adults, you wouldn't have gained power.”
"You! Haha! I won't argue with you. The meaning of my visit this time is very clear. I wonder if you are willing to cooperate?”
"How?" the man in black asked. I really didn't expect that there would be a time when your master would beg our master.”
"Remember, it's not begging! It was cooperation! My lord doesn't have the time to deal with these small matters now, but your master is different. He doesn't do proper things and thinks about how to assassinate others every day, but every time he ends up failing. Hahaha, hahahaha!"
The man in black with the fan said angrily,"You don't have to worry about our matters! Tell me, how do we cooperate? My master is still waiting for a reply.”
"Actually, it's not difficult. It's as simple as moving your fingers.”
The black-clothed man with the fan saw him stop halfway and hurriedly said,"Hurry up and tell me!"
"Hengjiang General Yang Zhen is currently in Yongan City and belongs to the Western Conquering General Chen Dao. I'm afraid your master already knows about this, right?”
When Yang Zhen heard that person talking about him, he listened attentively, afraid that he would miss a word between them. The man in black with the fan laughed and said,""We naturally know this. What does it have to do with you?”
"Of course it has something to do with me. My lord has already calculated that Yang Zhen will become a threat to both our families in the future. We must get rid of him first. Don't think that your previous two assassinations were done without anyone knowing. In fact, my lord has been secretly watching you. If he didn't intend to help you, he would have already set a trap to capture you all in one fell swoop. How can you still stand here and talk to me?”
When the man in black with the fan heard this, he laughed and said,""I gave up my life ten years ago. I'm already very content to be able to live until now. Yang Zhen isn't a threat to us. The reason why Master wants to get rid of him is because he's afraid that he'll join you and increase your strength. Right, isn't your lord trying his best to rope him in? Why did she want to get rid of him now? Is he really that great of a threat to your family? If that's the case, then we shouldn't have killed him. If I tell him about what happened today, it would be strange if he didn't become enemies with your family's master. Hahaha!"
"Don't be happy too early. If he wasn't such a big threat to your master, would you have tried to assassinate him again and again? Since he's a common threat to both our families, why don't we take this opportunity to get rid of him? Once Yang Zhen dies, my lord will follow the agreement from two years ago. My lord will be in charge, and your master will be in charge of the army. How about it?”
The black-robed man with the fan did not answer. After a long time, he said,"Tomorrow at this time, we will meet here again. I need to go back and give Master a reply. How Master would answer, he would know tomorrow.”
"In that case, I'll stay here for another day. I hope you won't go back on your word.”
The man in black with the fan laughed and said,""Do you think my master is like your master? Farewell! Let's go."
Yang Zhen hid behind the tree without moving. When he heard the footsteps of the two people, he knew that the two men in black had left. However, he still did not dare to move because there was still one person who had not left. "Hahaha! Yang Zhen, looks like you won't be able to escape this time.”As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zhen heard the person's footsteps and knew that he had left. Only after the person had walked far away did Yang Zhen dare to come out from behind the tree. He said indifferently,"Listening to their conversation, one of them is a lord, one of them is a master, one of them is a leader, and one of them is a soldier. It's obvious that they're talking about Zhuge Liang and Li Yan. It seems that my guess is correct. This person is Ma Su.”
Yang Zhen looked up at the dark clouds in the sky and let out a long howl. After the howl, Yang Zhen muttered to himself,""What did I do wrong? How did I threaten them? They actually joined forces to harm me?"
"You're not wrong! It's fate that's wrong!" A voice suddenly sounded from behind a tree in the distance.
Yang Zhen immediately held the Wandering Dragon tightly in his hand. He had sharp ears and eyes, but he didn't expect that he didn't hear someone in the forest at such a close distance. "Who is it?" he asked nervously.”
Footsteps sounded, steady and light. They stopped a few meters away from Yang Zhen. He said,"It's me!"
When Yang Zhen heard this voice, he vaguely saw a person standing in front of him in a gray robe in the dark night. He was quite surprised and relaxed his nervous expression. He ran forward and took a look. He immediately knelt down and shouted,"Master!"
This person was Zhao Yun, his master. Zhao Yun's hair was more than half white, and it was densely packed in her black hair, like a hat woven with black and white threads. His black eyebrows were like an eagle spreading its wings. His tall eyebrows were slightly lowered, and two bone-piercing cold lights shot out from his deep eye sockets. Yang Zhen saw that Zhao Yun's body seemed to be a little thin and was no longer as strong as the last time they parted. He suddenly felt a little sad and said,"Master, why are you here?”
Zhao Yun sighed heavily and gently stroked Yang Zhen's head with both hands. She said meaningfully,""This is all fate!"
