Chapter 544 True Friends

Dou Yi was so frightened that her head was sweating profusely, the calmness she had just now completely disappeared, and the rest was all panic.

It is true that Dou Yi saw Zong Xin's identity at first glance, but Zong Xin did not recognize him.As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Dou Yi has met Zong Xin several times, in Liu Chengyou's palace, at Guo Wei's banquet, and even at Zong Xin's wedding. It's just because Dou Yi is relatively low-key, so Zong Xin doesn't know him. he.

As soon as Zong Xin heard that this person was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he knew that he must have seen him.When she curled her lips and squinted her eyes just now, she was thinking about her own identity.Although she wore a wig, her appearance didn't change much, so Dou Yi quickly realized that the person sitting there was Master Zong Xin, but why did Fan Zhi introduce it like this?This man is Fan Zhi's brother-in-law.

For a moment, Dou Yi suddenly became cheerful, and finally understood why Master Zongxin’s income from Yandao should be shared by Lei Hong, why Lei Hong, like Zong Xin, fully supported Guo Wei’s ascension to the throne, why Lei Hong treated Master Zong Xin so respectfully, and why ... Lei Hong made a big fuss about Zong Xin's wedding, insisting that Zong Xin be the high hall when he worshiped heaven and earth.

Dou Yi originally had a lot of doubts, but after learning about Zong Xin's identity, these doubts disappeared immediately, followed by fear.He knew that Fan Zhi had slipped his mouth, but if he recognized Zong Xin now, he might be silenced for the simple reason that he had Lei Hong's son and daughter by his side, and he would not be able to escape if anyone tried.

Zong Xin's identity must be a great secret of King Lei's Mansion, and those who know this secret should have little chance of survival.Although his official position is not low, in the eyes of Zong Xin and Lei Wangfu, what is a servant of the Ministry of War?They are people who dare to kill even the emperor.

It wasn't that Dou Yi was alarmist, Zong Xin was the one who killed three emperors.Which of the three emperors Yelu Deguang, Yelu Ruan, and Liu Chengyou died at the hands of Zong Xin?Those who dared to kill three emperors would certainly not mind killing one more Minister of the Ministry of War.

But after hearing what Zong Xin said, Dou Yi knew that her life was not saved.Zong Xin just said 'I don't think you will make the same mistake', this sentence is obviously a threat, it can even be said to be a death notice, because only the dead will not leak secrets.

Dou Yi couldn't help but glanced sideways at Fan Zhi, did this grandson deliberately want his own life?Everyone, good friends and good brothers, why do you hurt yourself like this?
It doesn't matter if he knows some things, but if he knows it, he will die. This guy who can't turn his mind is so outspoken.The reason why she keeps staring at Fan Zhi is because Dou Yi knows that he is the only one who can save herself at this time.

Zong Xin's three wives had already plotted to kill, and Lei Fang, as Zong Xin's older sister, certainly couldn't let herself go away alive.Now only Fan Zhi can save his life by opening his mouth.

In fact, everyone is waiting for Fan Zhi's statement. If this person is Fan Zhi's good brother, and Fan Zhi is very confident in his character, if he guarantees that he will never say anything, Zong Xin and his party will not do anything. .But if this person and Fan Zhi are just casual acquaintances, then there is no need to take so much care.

Fan Zhi said: "Little brother, it was my brother-in-law's fault just now, and you revealed your identity too quickly. But this person is my life and death brother. You can ask your sister about this. Dou Yi and I are eight friends, although this person is a bit small. Fault, but he is never ambiguous in the face of big right and wrong. This time, he raised nearly [-] troops for his brother-in-law as the servant of the military department for reinforcements. He originally thought that it was impossible for His Majesty to send all [-] troops to Xuzhou. Fearing that the troops are not enough to withstand Murong Yanchao's attack, so my brother-in-law has the cheek to beg this good friend."

Zong Xin looked at his sister Lei Fang, Lei Fang nodded and said, "That's the case, your brother-in-law is not lying. Brother, there are many people who make the icing on the cake in this world, but true friends are those who give charcoal in the face of hardship. Xuzhou only has three thousand troops. It can't be compared with the tens of thousands of troops in Murong Yanchao's hands. The court has been reluctant to send troops. It was not until after Tang Li Jing destroyed Chu that Murong Yanchao knew he was anxious to borrow troops from Datang. But before that, Dou Eldest Brother has assembled [-] troops for Xuzhou. Even if the court does not send troops, we can hold on for a while and wait for reinforcements. Logically speaking, this matter is not under the jurisdiction of Eldest Brother Dou, and borrowing troops to work day and night is thankless. You have to owe countless favors, and those who can do this for a friend will never betray this friend."

Hearing this, Zong Xin was relieved, and Dou Yi was also relieved.Even if the couple said they were a little bad, Zong Xin probably killed him by throwing a Buddhist bead over.

Dou Yi still knew Zong Xin's martial arts very well, because I heard that he had recently learned Yeluzhen's Nine Suns Burning Heaven Jue. This level of martial arts is no longer powerful enough for ordinary people to comprehend.Not to mention Zong Xin, even if Fan Zhi made a move, it would be a dead end.

Fan Zhi has practiced martial arts, but Dou Yi doesn't know any martial arts.If Dou Yi knew a little bit of martial arts, he would not be the Minister of the Ministry of War, but the Minister of the Ministry of War.

As the person in charge of the entire military department, not only must a quick-witted mind and excellent tactical qualities, but also a certain amount of martial arts, otherwise he will not be able to establish his prestige in the military department.Just like if a general can't even beat the most ordinary soldiers, will these soldiers still listen to the general's words and go out to fight?
Dou Yi was also very wronged by this. When she was a child, her family was poor and she couldn't practice martial arts.As the saying goes, if you are poor and rich in martial arts, how can you have the energy to practice martial arts if you can't even eat enough?The only way out for the poor is to rely on a flexible mind to study and test their fame.

Dou Yi is not young anymore, it is too late to practice martial arts at this time, so he also gave up this path.

Zong Xin nodded and said: "Okay, since my sister and brother-in-law both said they can't kill, what else can I say? But... you must keep this secret tight, even if you let it slip a little, you will be careful about the lives of your whole family."

Dou Yi said aggrievedly: "This... what if Fan Zhi leaked it? My mouth is very strict, and Fan Zhi is the one who speaks out loud. This time it was he who leaked it. I don't want to know at all."

Zong said: "If my brother-in-law leaks out, then I will only kill you, not your whole family."

"Thank you Master Zong Xin for your kindness." Dou Yi knew that Zong Xin had no reason to say.The Great Zhou Emperor Guo Wei was his father-in-law, the princess was his wife, and the future heir Third Prince Guo Xin was his apprentice.Not to mention that Zong Xin saved Guo Wei's family several times, Zong Xin of the whole Zhou Dynasty can be said to cover the sky with one hand.If he wants to kill someone, he hardly needs to do it himself.Although a little wronged, but also helpless.

Knowing that her life was saved, Dou Yi slowly knelt down in Zong Xin's direction, and said, "My servant, Dou Yi, pays homage to the third prince, Princess Ning'an, and the son-in-law."

"Flat body."

Zong Xin was not polite at all. It stands to reason that he shouldn't be called 'Pingshen', at most he could say 'Exemption', because that's the emperor's word.And it shouldn't be Zong Xin, but Guo Xin, who has the highest status present, even if he is Zong Xin's apprentice, he is also the third prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty. When everyone salutes, they first greet Guo Xin, and then It was Ning An, and finally Zong Xin, the attached horse.

But Zong Xin didn't care so much, he came here no matter how happy he was, and suddenly wanted to try Guo Wei's feeling, so he called out "Pingshen." '

Dou Yi is also aware of current affairs, she didn't say that Zong Xin overstepped her authority, but Xie En got up.Because the family is chaotic, and Guo Wei's character is too bold and upright, Zong Xin's behavior is supposed to exceed his authority and bully the emperor, and should be a crime of beheading, but Guo Wei will not feel angry even if he is present.

Zong Xin turned to look at Fan Zhi, and then said: "Brother-in-law, let's have dinner. I'm hungry."

"Oh~ oh~ order the chef to prepare the best banquet for my younger brother." Fan Zhi was also a little shocked by what happened just now, but Fan Zhi knew that Zong Xin was just playful occasionally, and never thought of overstepping his authority.The reason is simple. At the time when Guo Wei was most dangerous, if Zong Xin wanted to be emperor, he would definitely succeed.As long as there is Lei Hong's help, taking advantage of Liu Chengyou's disarray and sending troops to counterattack, Liu Chengyou will definitely be defeated. At that time, Zong Xin will be the emperor for granted.

Zong Xin does not have this ambition, he prefers to live a free life.In fact, who doesn't like a free life?Even Guo Wei envied Zong Xin.However, some people do it for fame and fortune, and some do it for the sake of the world. There are always some unavoidable reasons that make them go deep into the officialdom, and they cannot help themselves.

There are too many people who can't help themselves in today's world, and Fan Zhi is not bad.With a wife as beautiful as Lei Fang, and a lovely son, Lei Hailong, although he is in the officialdom, everyone knows that he is Lei Hong's son-in-law, and most people dare not provoke him, so they live comfortably.

In fact, Lei Hong has always looked down on Fan Zhi, because he is bookish and his martial arts are simply unsightly.The matter of Lei Fang's marriage to Fan Zhi has always been Lei Hong's heart disease. Lei Hong wanted to kill Fan Zhi many times and let Lei Fang remarry.Lei Fang refused to live and die, and Lei Hong had no choice.

Fan Zhi really likes Lei Fang. Not only is she strong in martial arts, she is also beautiful, and she has such a prominent family background, any man who doesn't like her is sick.But because of Lei Hong's relationship, Fan Zhi wanted to work hard and let Lei Hong know that it was absolutely right for Lei Fang to marry him. He didn't need Lei Wang's mansion, and he could give Lei Fang happiness.

In fact, Lei Fang didn't care whether Fan Zhi was really an extremely human minister, whether he could control the general situation of the world, as long as the family of three lived well.And as a woman, seeing her husband working hard, she became even more infatuated with him.Because this time, Fan Zhi, as a frail scholar, led three thousand generals to confront Murong Yanchao with tens of thousands of horses, and it was not far away, and the opponent could kill him at any time, Fan Zhi didn't even have the slightest fear.
