[Yang Jian's colleagues] Banana rain

……

That night, Ni Tianying really sneaked into the prime minister's mansion and stole the map of the garrison troops.Yang Jian unfolded the map by the candlelight and looked at it, and saw that all kinds of marks were densely drawn on the whole map, no wonder Ni Tianying couldn't remember it.

Ni Tianying was worried that Yang Jian would stay alone in the study, so he simply brought his quilt to accompany him.As a result, just after the hour passed, he fell into a sleepy dream.

But the dream was not a beautiful thing - it was a long time ago, so long that he couldn't remember what year it was.I only remember that Yang Jian was still a young man at that time, he looked like a scholar, but he brought a group of high-ranking and rough soldiers to guard food.Thinking about it now, Ni Tianying felt that he was too idle at that time, so he fell into Yang Jian's trap.He was curious why this scholar in his early 20s would be a food security officer in the army of defeating Zhou. After searching around, he finally found out the relationship between Yang Jian and Master Yuding. With Yang Jian's support, he found a safe and leisurely job. Compared with Nezha, Lei Zhenzi and other people who often rush into battle, Yang Jian, the grain guard, lives a really relaxed life.

So Ni Tianying was extremely contemptuous of Yang Jian, and completely ignored him.It wasn't until later that he succeeded in defeating Zhou, Yang Jian and others were all conferred gods, and Ni Tianying heard the name again.

He was dissatisfied.How can a piece of trash become a god through the back door?Ni Tianying turned his head and smoothed the hair on his back, flapped his wings and flew towards Guanjiangkou, claiming that he wanted to fight Yang Jian.But at that time, Yang Jian never thanked guests behind closed doors, so Nie Tianying shouted "Three Eyes", "Those who went through the back door" and so on outside the door, as ugly as it sounds.Sure enough, without being able to call a few times, the door of Yang's mansion opened, and Yang Jian strode out holding a three-pointed and two-edged knife, with as ugly a face as possible.

Ni Tianying looked him up and down, and said with disdain: "A weak scholar who has no strength to restrain a chicken, why should he rely on grain to become a god? I'll see how many catties you have today!"

He remembered that Yang Jian smiled at him at that time.If it was the current Sky-Defying Eagle, seeing Yang Jian smiling, he would have quickly shrunk his neck back to settle down; but back then he thought Yang Jian had a guilty conscience and his fighting spirit was even stronger.

His stupid look with his neck stuck probably made Yang Jian feel ridiculous and pathetic——Yang Jian asked him what to do if he wins, and what to do if he loses.Ni Tianying didn't expect that Yang Jian had prepared a trap for him to jump into, so he answered him very honestly: "If I lose, I will let you handle it!"

Anyway, it is impossible for him to lose, Ni Tianying thought so.But what happened... When Ni Tianying woke up, he hugged his head in shame.

It was dark outside the window, and Yang Jian's entire outline seemed to melt in the flickering candlelight.He frowned slightly, holding the map in his left hand, carefully looking at each small letter on the map, holding a pen in his right hand, and writing down the tiny information he saw on the white paper.

"..." Ni Tianying just wanted to sigh at this moment, "Aren't you tired?"

No answer, probably did not hear.Ni Tianying waited for a while, then said helplessly to himself: "Forget it, pretend I didn't say anything."

There seemed to be a gentle Jiangnan Zizhu melody coming from outside, intermittently drifting into the room with the breeze.I don't know when, this kind of ditties sung in Wu Nong's soft language became popular in Beijing.

For some reason, the Nitianying at this moment has no sleepiness at all.Maybe it's because the little tune looming outside the window is really nice, or maybe it's because the light in the room is too gentle?Inexplicably, he felt that even if he was asked to sit like this until morning, it would not be difficult to stay in a daze with Yang Jian for an hour.

He looked around and saw a pot of tea on the coffee table beside him, but it had been cold for a long time.Subconsciously, he wanted to go to the kitchen to burn a new pot, but he immediately realized: Maybe he is really used to the hard life in the mortal world, and he clearly has a simpler and faster way.Smiling wryly for a while, Ni Tianying put his palm on the cold spout of the pot, and quickly heated up the tea.

The tea is steaming.Ni Tianying approached with it, and coughed heavily.Yang Jian raised his head to look at him, and said calmly, "Let's put it down."

... This man!The aggrieved feeling in Ni Tianying's heart surged up again.Yang Jian was sitting opposite him, and there was only a desk a few feet wide between them.In the warm candlelight, Yang Jian's eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his face.His usual cold expression seemed to have softened.

Ni Tianying could almost hear the thump, thump, and rapid heartbeat in his chest.

"what happened?"

After being asked by Yang Jian, Ni Tianying immediately came to his senses - look, it was still in this cold tone, and he almost wanted to beat him up.But when he thought about the dream just now, and how badly he was beaten in the end, he didn't want to try again.

Even if Yang Jian has not fully recovered his mana now... I don't want to take advantage of him, a man must be aboveboard.Ni Tianying convinced himself like this.

When it was dawn, Yang Jianfang closed the map, handed it to Ni Tianying, and motioned him to put it back to the prime minister's mansion as soon as possible.Ni Tianying opened the door and left without saying a word, but stopped the moment he stepped over the threshold: "...Yang Jian, come and see."

The silence of the whole night was thus shattered.Yang Jian stepped out of the room and looked up at the sky, only to see black clouds billowing in the dark sky, countless overlapping cloud heads moving fast with the wind, a little scarlet floating faintly, like a touch of red cloud mixed in it - but anyone who is familiar with Li Jing can recognize it , that is actually the flag of the Li Family Army.

The Anti-Tian Ying stayed where he was, looking at the dark clouds in the sky, and said: "Li Jing led his troops to the west, and I'm afraid he's starting a war with the Western Heaven. No wonder the Jade Emperor hasn't taken action against you for so long...that's how it is!"

"...I'm not in the Heavenly Court, it seems that Li Jing is very ambitious." Yang Jian waved his hand to Ni Tianying indifferently, "Don't care about him...you go and come back quickly, there are other things for you to do."

After Ni Tianying left, Yang Jian unfolded the information recorded all night and memorized it in his heart, then he moved and gradually disappeared from the room.When he reappeared, he was already in Dieqiong Pavilion.

Yang Jian's former residence is now empty.Yang Jian chose to show up here because of this consideration.

Ganquan Palace is not too far from Dieqiong Pavilion.And when Yang Jian walked to the door of the Imperial Study Room of Ganquan Palace, the queen's voice happened to come out from the closed door: "What should I do?"

Kang Geng, who was guarding the door alone, was about to report, but was stopped by Yang Jian raising his hand.

"Yang Jian always wants to go to court, so it's impossible to give advice to the empress behind the screen every day." It was Wen Huan who answered her, "Besides, he has kept Mu Tingzheng from him for so long, and this old fox may have already started to suspect."

"You're right," the queen sighed. "By the way, do you have any news about the emperor's son? I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of, empress? Yang Jian handed over the jade seal to you personally, so how could he deceive you again?... Besides, even if you have doubts in your heart, you will definitely get through this period. When the prince returns, the new The emperor ascended the throne, if there is anything the empress wants to know, she can summon Yang Jian at any time, and just ask clearly."

At this time, Kang Geng beside him suddenly covered his mouth and coughed.Yang Jian glanced at him, motioning him to hold back and keep silent.Soon, they heard the queen hesitate again: "But I... I'm afraid. Yang Jian is young, and he can turn the clouds and rain without real power. If the emperor succeeds to the throne in the future, he is the only one who will follow, then—"

Her words were abruptly interrupted.The door of the room opened suddenly, and Kang Geng rushed in face down and rolled on the ground.

And Yang Jian was standing outside the door, not knowing how much he heard.

"Queen forgive me, Lord Wen and Lord Yang forgive me!" Kang Geng quickly got up, ignoring the pain, and begged the three of them forward and backward.The queen's face turned red and then pale, and she didn't listen to what he said at all. She only knew that if Kang Geng hadn't burst into the door in time, Yang Jian would have listened to what she said next.

Wen Huan was also stunned for a moment.He didn't say anything too much just now, he just followed the queen's wishes.But if Yang Jian heard it and took it seriously, the misunderstanding would be huge.He opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start, his face was full of embarrassment.

"What's the matter?" It was Yang Jian who spoke first—he even had a smile in his words, "Am I so scary?"

Kang Geng's brain turned very fast, and he immediately replied: "The young one has a kind of disease, a kind of disease that makes the legs weak after seeing noble people."

Yang Jian lifted his clothes and entered the door, saying: "Okay, just stay outside the door and don't fall again."

"... What's the important thing for you to come here in person?" Wen Huan understood that it didn't make much sense to ask Yang Jian how much he had heard.Only by treating each other with sincerity in the future can we make up for today's mistakes.

The queen also echoed, and forcibly swept away the embarrassment on her face, and asked Yang Jian with a smile: "Could there be new progress?"

Yang Jian said: "I know where the troops are stationed."

About a quarter of an hour later, Yang Jian roughly drew the map that he had memorized silently, and placed it in front of the Queen and Wen Huan without any concealment.The two saw that there were more than a dozen places marked on it, and they were surprised that Mu Tingzheng distributed the private army so fragmentarily, but they saw Yang Jian pointing at a mine: "From my point of view, it's here."

"...Mine?" The Queen was slightly startled, "It can't be here."

Wen Huanji believed in Yang Jian, his expression changed, and he asked, "Why did your mother say that?"

"The area Yang Jian is referring to is not only a mine, but not far from it is the mausoleum of the emperor. It is heavily guarded and it is impossible to use it as a garrison. Unless..."

Speaking of this, the queen's face changed suddenly, and cold sweat broke out from behind.She looked at Yang Jian incredulously, but got affirmative gaze.

"Unless the few hundred garrison troops in the Mausoleum of the Ancestor Emperor have been bought or held hostage." Wen Huan took the conversation and said slowly, "I heard my father mention that the mine is actually a small gold mine , and the terrain in that area is peculiar, surrounded by two mines. Whenever the moon is in the middle of the sky, it is like a pair of bright moons with huge arms stretching out to the sky. One day the emperor discovered this landscape and was amazed. He banned mining, and then Excavated the imperial mausoleum nearby, thinking it would be a safe place to rest after death. However, the former emperor had a different view from the first emperor. He believed that although the imperial mausoleum had a strange appearance, it lacked dragon energy, he built another one in the western suburbs. The mausoleum, since then, the vicinity of the mausoleum of the □ emperor has become much deserted, and only the garrison troops come and go all day long."

Li Yuanrong nodded while listening, and generally agreed with Wen Huan and Yang Jian's thoughts: "But who is helping him with the military training? As far as I know, he doesn't have any generals he is very familiar with, and he himself is not a general." .”

"It's simple," Wen Huan said, "Your Majesty may not remember it, but Ziming and I remember it clearly. When we first arrived at the border, there was a young general surnamed Yan who was our master and taught us a few tricks." Later, it was rumored that he deserted during a war and was taken back to the capital to beheaded. At that time, Mu Ting was personally imprisoned in the death row, and no outsider was allowed in."

Li Yuanrong was slightly startled and said, "You mean... Yan Chuang is not dead, but Mu Tingzheng..."

"When Yan Chuang had an accident, Ziming and I suspected that someone had planted the blame, and it was impossible for him to escape. But at that time, we were not capable enough to investigate. When I returned to the capital, Mu Tingzheng had already lost his power. The government and the opposition, even I had to follow suit, and there was no way to find out. But for so many years, Ziming was alone outside, and he always heard the soldiers talking behind his back that Yan Chuang was not dead at all, but was taken away and used for other purposes." After Wen Huan finished speaking, he turned to Yang Jian and said, "Do you think so too?"

Yang Jian smiled wryly and shook his head, "I don't know what Yan Chuang and the Imperial Tomb are. But judging from this picture, most of the marked places are large open spaces, but the private army's drills are different from the normal army after all, and they can't be exposed. In the sun, these marks can be ruled out. And the other marked places in the deep mountains and wild forests seem to have excellent concealment, but they are not suitable for survival at all."

Wen Huan pondered for a moment while looking at the blueprint: "Then there are only two mountain depressions in the east and south. Yishan in the south is rarely visited, and it looks more hidden on the surface, but in fact it is not. Once the people passing by see it, they will be killed." It is exposed to the world. The mines in the east are different, and the defenders are wandering around the imperial tomb every day, which is just suitable for hiding."

Yang Jian acquiesced to his statement, rolled up the drawing, and burned it clean with the incense in the censer.Wen Huan stared at the fading sparks and said: "The top priority is to get rid of the old thief's private army in the mine. It's a pity that although I had friendship with the guard of the capital, it was many years ago after all, and I don't know now. He still recognizes it or not. The empress is also unable to mobilize the three armies, because there is no tiger talisman in the imperial study, and I don't know who the emperor gave it to..."

The queen is also anxious: "Even if you have the tiger talisman in your hand, you can't easily deploy troops. Now that the national power is declining, and the defenders in the capital are only ten thousand, once there is a conflict, it will definitely attract fierce resistance, and it may cause Mu Tingzheng to advance." Forcing the palace. For the current plan, I am afraid that the only way is to rescue Ziming first, and then make a long-term plan."

This plan coincided with Yang Jian's, and it was more in line with Wen Huan's wishes.He immediately said anxiously: "According to your mother, how can I save him?"

"This matter—" the queen looked at Yang Jian with a smile, "I'm afraid the Minister of Rites has his own opinions."

She probably wanted to sell favors to Yang Jian because of her indiscretion just now.But she didn't know that Yang Jian didn't care what they said about him behind his back at all—his greatest selfishness was to stay in the palace before the queen died and protect her.Now knowing that the queen has doubts about herself, it is actually not a bad thing, at least even if something embarrassing for both parties happens in the future, Yang Jian can still have room to deal with it, so she won't be too surprised.

"...It's not difficult to save him. Today is not what it used to be. Now that the empress holds the jade seal, if she wants to release him, she only needs to convict the person who impeached Ziming, then Ziming will naturally be freed."

Wen Huan suddenly realized: "Okay, okay, great plan. I will write the memorial to impeach Pan Ren, and I will present it to the empress for review soon."

After years of waiting, I am finally about to watch the clouds and see the moon.Aside from being overjoyed, Wen Huan did not forget another key point: "But if the tiger amulet falls into Mu Tingzheng's hands, I'm afraid—"

But Yang Jian smiled, as if he had heard something very interesting: "If you have an army in your hand, and the tiger charm is also in your hand, and it happens that the emperor is ill again, and the prince has died in another country - at this moment you If you don't do it, when will you wait?" Then he changed the subject and looked at the queen, "I will write a letter today and inform the prince to come back as soon as possible. There is another thing - my father-in-law has already told me and my empress. The relationship is suspicious, so it is necessary to let the empress retreat behind the scenes as soon as possible, and let the emperor come back and continue to preside over the overall situation."

"...but the emperor has...how to manage the overall situation?" the queen was shocked.

"Yang Jian used to practice Taoism in Kunlun Mountains, and knew some strange people and things. Tomorrow I will bring him into the palace. This person is very good at disguise, and his voice is very similar. He can pretend to be any person without revealing his flaws."

Wen Huan didn't dare to believe it: "Is there really such a person?"

"Yes." Yang Jian said, "His name is Kang Anyu."
