Although Zhang Yong was the younger brother of the favored Noble Consort Zhang and was also a Second Grade Jinwu General, he did not dare to kill Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng, as the official of the Crown Prince's Residence, had a high chance of becoming the Prime Minister in the future.
If he killed this old man, he would become enemies with the Crown Prince, and the future of the Zhang family could be imagined.
However, if he did not destroy Wei Zheng's prestige, he would not let the officials of Chang 'an look down on him.
Just as Zhang Yong was letting his imagination run wild, a primary school reported,"General, General Hou Junji of the Heavenly Policy Manor is here. Like the previous few times, he brought many gifts.”
Zhang Yong's heart was first filled with joy, but then it turned cold. He suddenly thought of what Wei Zheng had said just now and could not help but hesitate.
The Five Tigers chuckled and consoled,"Big brother, this fellow is here to show his respect to you again. If he dares to give it to you, we will dare to accept it.”
"That's right, big brother. In order to befriend you, the King of Qin has spent a lot of money. There were pearls, jade, and treasures, as well as gold and silver.”
"That's right. Don't you guys look at Big Brother's position? Not to mention the King of Qin, even the Crown Prince would give our big brother some face. Two days ago, King Qi had even sent the Crown Prince a thin horse from Yangzhou.”
When Zhang Yong heard the consolation of the Five Tigers brothers, the trace of vigilance that had just risen in his heart also dissipated."Please."
However, in order to prevent this from happening, he instructed his personal guard,"My fellow countryman Hou Junji can only bring one personal attendant.”
"Yes, General." The colonel bowed and left.
Hou Junji had twenty or thirty attendants with him, carrying boxes of gifts as they waited at the foot of the city gate tower.
"Xiang Yu, once we enter the room, I will have my twenty troops hold Zhang Yong hostage. You will guard the door. If there is a sudden change, guard it strictly and not allow anyone to approach.”Hou Junji gave an unfriendly order to Xiang Yu.
"Alright." Xiang Yu's expression did not change. It was as if he did not know that the other party had put him in danger.
Hou Junji wanted to push his luck, but he was interrupted."As for your twelve troops, they're not bad. Let them…"
"General Hou, I have my own arrangements for my troops. You don't have to worry about them.”Xiang Yu waved his hand, and his twelve second-rate troops left.
Hou Junji's face was as red as a pig's liver as he watched the twelve experts disappear."You…you…good, good. Once this matter is over, I will definitely report it to the King of Qin.”
At this moment, a small colonel ran over from the direction of the city gate.
"General Hou, our general invites you.”
Hou Junji tried to calm himself down before forcing out a smile."Thank you, little brother."
Then, he turned to the twenty troops behind him and said,""Let's go, brothers. Carry the things properly. Don't fall down. Inside were all valuable gifts from the King of Qin to General Zhang.”
Just as the 10 to 20 strong soldiers were about to lift the box, they saw Zhang Yong's subordinate stop them,""General Hou, our brothers can carry these boxes up.”
Before Hou Junji could react, the lieutenant waved his hand, and several dozen soldiers rushed out to carry away the boxes, leaving Hou Junji standing there in a mess.
"This…this…"
Hou Junji's expression changed. He had never imagined that something like this would happen.
It could be said that this accident had directly disrupted all of his plans.
According to the original plan, he had carefully selected ten to twenty elite soldiers to carry the box to Zhang Yong's room and directly kidnap him. After that, he would persist until noon tomorrow.
But for some reason, Zhang Yong was actually so cautious this time.
Hou Junji's mind raced. Even though he was cunning and sinister, he was still drenched in cold sweat.
At this moment, Zhang Yong's subordinate, the small school, invited,""General Hou, please. Your 20 troops can rest below.”
"Alright, alright." Although Hou Junji said yes, he didn't move an inch.
In the end, it was Xiang Yu who walked to his side.""General, General Zhang is still waiting for you.”
"Alright, alright." Hou Junji finally reacted and gave Xiang Yu a deep look."Commandant Xiang, haven't you always wanted to meet the wise and mighty General Zhang Yong? This time, you must get close to him.”
"Don't worry, General." Xiang Yu nodded.”
Following that, the two of them quickly went up the city gate tower under the lead of the small school.
"Haha, Brother Hou, you're being too polite. You've given me so many valuable gifts.”Zhang Yong led his subordinates, the Five Tigers, to welcome them at the stairwell.
"Haha, this isn't from little brother. It's really because the King of Qin values you too much, brother, and insisted that I come to disturb you in the middle of the night.”Hou Junji laughed heartily.
The two of them were very close and entered the room with their arms around each other.
After exchanging pleasantries, Hou Junji waved his hand at Xiang Yu."You may leave first. I have something important to discuss with General Zhang.”
"Yes, General." Xiangyu praised in her heart.
Although Hou Junji was sinister and crafty, he was one of the few people who possessed extraordinary intelligence.
He chased him out and said that he had something important to discuss with him. As such, it would be inappropriate for Zhang Yong to let the "Five Tigers" stay in the room.
As expected, Zhang Yong waved at the Five Tigers."You guys can leave too."
"Yes." The five strong "deputy generals" also walked out.
Although Zhang Yong was somewhat wary of Hou Junji's arrival, he didn't pay much attention to it. Now, all of the more than one thousand soldiers on the city gate tower were his men, and Hou Junji had only brought one attendant with him. They would not be able to cause much trouble.
After Zhang Yong's Five Tiger Generals left the room, Hou Junji let out a sigh of relief. Everyone said that Zhang Yong was very brave, but only a few people knew that he actually relied on his subordinates, the Five Tigers.
And Zhang Yong's own martial strength was mediocre. Of course, it would be best if this Zhang Yong could understand the situation and not make a move. Otherwise, he could only give it his all.
In the room, Hou Junji described the grand strategy of the King of Qin and the importance and fondness he had for talented people…his words and actions revealed his deep affection for Zhang Yong.
But Zhang Yong would yawn, then rub his eyes and stretch, causing Hou Junji's last bit of effort to disappear.
Outside the room, Zhang Yong's "Five Tigers" were watching the room like tigers, guarding the door loyally. Xiang Yu crossed her arms and looked at the five of them.
"Brat, you've been staring at us for a long time.”Thunderbolt Tiger, the most explosive of the five tigers, rolled up his sleeves and roared.
Xiang Yu nodded." I heard that the Five Tigers run amok in the countryside and bully men and women. After coming to the capital, she relied on Noble Consort Zhang's power to run amok in Chang 'an, right?”
"Haha, a straightforward person doesn't beat around the bush. What, you want to stand up for those lowly people?”The Fox Tiger of the Five Tigers snorted coldly.
"How can you be called 'tigers'? At most, you're just sick cats who use the tiger's might.”Xiang Yu pointed her middle finger at the five of them and then pointed it downwards as she spoke in disdain.
