Volume 4 is in the ascendant Chapter 381 Zhang Song was deeply moved...
"Zi Qiao is indeed a genius of Xichuan... Since there is no one else here, why don't you stay in the mansion and have dinner together tonight!" The source of Bai Tu's rainbow gushed towards Zhang Song.
There are still three days before the wedding, or the "bride welcoming ceremony". Lu Lingqi had already asked for leave last night, and Zhou Tai stayed by Bai Tu's side instead - three days later, Bai Tu would go to the bride welcoming ceremony to pick her up.
After Zhang Song came to pay a visit to Bai Tu as the envoy of the Marquis of Shu, the two of them... were so happy to see each other that it was hard to describe it.
Finally, at Bai Tu's invitation, they had dinner together.
It was not a banquet, but a home-cooked dinner, which made Zhang Song feel flattered...
However, what made Bai Tu helpless was that no matter how his rainbow source gushed out, Zhang Song's favorability was about to overflow from his eyes, but he had no intention of offering a picture or even giving Bai Tu any other hints.
It feels like...
In Heroes of the Ancient Swordsmen, the loyalty of the enemy's counselors is in the single digit. We even sent more than a dozen counselors with an intelligence of 95 to incite them to rebel, and each time they were successful. However, they just had no intention of surrendering!
Fortunately, Bai Tu is also patient and knows that this matter cannot be rushed.
However, the young man following behind Zhang Song seemed to be almost unable to bear it anymore. From what Bai Tu saw, he secretly poked Zhang Song several times!
Bai Tu already knew the identity of this young man.
It was Fa Zheng and Fa Xiaozhi, members of the Fa family, a noble clan in Sili, who would be an important adviser to Liu Bei after he entered Shu and the planner of the Battle of Dingjun Mountain. Zhuge Liang called them the ones who gave Liu Bei wings to fly to the sky and made Cao Cao sigh, "I have captured all the treacherous heroes, but I am the only one who cannot be captured"!
"It's a pity that the Marquis of Shu is shortsighted and doesn't know that the King of Chu is noble and upright. He still thinks that the King of Chu is just seeking fame and reputation. There are many people like the Marquis of Shu in the world, but there are very few like the King of Chu." Zhang Song said regretfully.
Hearing this, Bai Tu was excited, thinking that Zhang Song was going to reveal the truth, so he... chuckled calmly and said, "I see Qingshan is so charming, I think Qingshan sees me the same way."
When Bai Tu said this line, it sounded less helpless than Xin Qiji's and more proud.
If Xin Qiji looked at the green mountains helplessly, compared himself to the green mountains, lamented that his good years had passed, his dream of the Northern Expedition had come to nothing, and only left the lonely "charm", then Bai Tu is now - whether you like to look or not, I am here, like a mountain, if you don't accept it, you can hit your head against a wall and die!
When Fa Zheng heard what Bai Tu said, he couldn't wait and pushed Zhang Song from behind, but... Zhang Song muttered a few words with a dazed look in his eyes, and then his eyes, which were a bit like Pang Tong's, bloomed with some clear light, and then... he continued to drink and chat with Bai Tu, ignoring Fa Zheng's little movements.
The current Fa Zheng is still just a nobody...
Fa Zheng was born in the Legalist school of Fufeng. In the year when the Han Emperor returned to Xu Du, which was also the year when Bai Tu traveled through time, he entered Shu with Meng Da.
It took more than a year on the journey, and Fa Zheng was different from Zhang Song. Obviously, from the appearance, Fa Zheng was much stronger than Zhang Song, and his talent was not inferior, but... perhaps because he was still young and an outsider, he could never be trusted by Liu Zhang.
Historically, after entering Shu, "it took a long time for him to become the magistrate of Xindu" - that is, it took a long time for him to become the magistrate of Xindu County.
However, in history without the white rabbit effect, Fa Zheng’s more important identity was that, like Zhang Song, he was the vanguard in Shu to welcome Liu Bei!
It was Fa Zheng who finally persuaded Liu Zhang to surrender.
Unlike Zhang Song, firstly, Fa Zheng was not valued under Liu Zhang, and he only agreed with Liu Bei, not bad enough to actively "seduce" Liu Bei; secondly...more importantly, after Liu Bei entered Shu, Fa Zheng was able to display his talents and lay the foundation for the Shu Kingdom, so Fa Zheng did not have the bad reputation of Zhang Song.
It is like if Emperor Taizong of Tang had died two or three years after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and had not had time to build the Zhenguan Reign. Regardless of whether the Tang Dynasty would have flourished or not, Li Shimin's personal reputation in later generations would have certainly been infamous.
Now Fa Zheng is not even the magistrate of Xindu, but because of his close personal relationship with Zhang Song, he took advantage of Zhang Song's deployment and followed him to Chu.
Zhang Song is more than ten years older than Fa Zheng, but Fa Zheng understands Zhang Song's thoughts best. He should be willing to surrender to Chu... Judging from Zhang Song's reactions along the way, this is also confirmed!
However, what Fa Zheng didn't understand was why, seeing that Zhang Song had been convinced , he had no intention of surrendering?
Is it because of moral integrity?
Fa Zheng: Phew~
It was not until after dinner that Zhang Song and Bai Tu said goodbye and left the Prince of Chu's mansion.
After returning to the inn, Fa Zheng couldn't help asking, "Zhang Ziqiao! What the hell are you doing? The topic and atmosphere were clearly there, but where is your "Topographic Map of Xichuan"? Are you planning to give birth?"
At this time, Zhang Song looked at Fa Zheng with a proud look, which made Fa Zheng's head beat fast. It was like a brother who was watching an educational film together. Because he was fast and finished one step ahead, he looked at him with a critical eye afterwards.
"The King of Chu regards me as a national hero and even regards me as Yan Zi." Zhang Song said before Fa Zheng lost his temper.
"So why don't you hurry up!" Fa Zheng urged.
"I see how charming the green mountains are. I guess the green mountains see me the same way." Zhang Song said with emotion. At the same time, he took out the drawn map scroll and burned it directly over the candle flame.
"What did you say? You...wait! What does this have to do with it?" Fa Zheng couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"The King of Chu regards me as Yan Zi... In those days, Yan Zi served three dynasties. Duke Ling of Qi was corrupt and unruly, Duke Zhuang of Qi was immoral and undisciplined, and Duke Jing of Qi was both loyal and treacherous... Yan Zi's talent was buried in the hands of these people. However, even so, Yan Zi did not abandon Qi. How could I give up the Marquis of Shu?" Zhang Song's face was filled with noble and arrogant brilliance.
Indeed, Yan Zi served three dynasties, three of them were scumbags...
Duke Ling of Qi was the founder of "selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton", but Yan Zi's original words were " It's like hanging a cow's head on the door and selling horse meat inside" - criticizing Duke Ling of Qi for prohibiting women in the folks from dressing as men, but allowing palace ladies to dress like that because of his own preference, which made the ban ineffective.
Personal preferences aside, Duke Ling of Qi was defeated over and over again in battles, no matter how he fought...
But in terms of "pitfall", Duke Zhuang of Qi was the worse one - he should be the first person to associate unclean relations between men and women with "hats". During his reign, he committed adultery with the wife of the doctor Cui Zhu, and not only did he often go to her house to commit adultery, but he also secretly took Cui Zhu's hats and gave them to others. In the end, he was killed by Cui Zhu.
Duke Jing of Qi was better. In the early days, he valued Yan Zi very much. After all, because of Duke Zhuang of Qi, the political situation in Qi was unstable at that time. However, after the situation improved a little, he immediately began to favor treacherous ministers. When there was something going on, he would invite Yan Zi, and when there was nothing going on, he would mingle with a few treacherous ministers...
Yan Zi was indeed unlucky in this regard.
However, Bai Tu could not have imagined that his Rainbow Source would indeed move Zhang Song deeply, but... the direction of this emotion really did not make Bai Tu happy!
