Chapter 240 Chang'an

Xu Han's expression changed slightly without concealing anything from Gu Daozuo's eyes. He was slightly stunned and immediately realized something.

He said something wrong, something that everyone knew, but they couldn't say.

Of course, it wasn't impossible to say such words, but it couldn't be said in front of Xu Han. Furthermore, it just so happened that the old fox, Zhang Xiang, was also standing beside him. If this were to happen, it would be a calamity for the three races. The face of the aggressive Ancient Commander changed for a moment, and thick sweat immediately appeared on his forehead.

"Commander Gu is right!" Xu Han, who had succeeded in his scheme, smiled and then turned to look at the silent old man beside him. "Prime Minister Zhang, did you hear Commander Gu's words clearly?"

"Oh." The old prime minister nodded, but did not comment.

This kind of posture made the left side of the Ancient Dao confused and froze in place for a moment.

"That's good." The smile on Xu Han's face became even more intense. He took a step forward and arrived in front of the left side of the Ancient Dao. He opened his mouth to say something.

"I feel that Manor Master Xu's words are quite reasonable. Commander Gu still wants to search the city." However, before he could say anything, that drowsy voice suddenly sounded. He still looked at his nose and heart, as if he didn't care about everything around him.

Xu Han was originally stunned when he said this. His gaze towards Zhang Xiang instantly became complicated. He wasn't sure who this Xiang was trying to help.

"This" Gu Daozuo was not stupid. He immediately understood the meaning of this picture. Although he was a little unwilling, there was something that fell into their hands. At that time, he could only remember reluctantly cupping his hands and turning around to lead everyone away in a dejected manner.

When Gu Dao left and a group of Greedy Wolf Guards walked far away, Zhang Xiang turned around and bowed towards Xu Han Ying Ying, "It's windy at night. I'm old, so I won't accompany you anymore."

With that, the old man turned around and left.

Seeing this, Xu Han hurriedly stepped forward and called out, "Prime Minister!"

"Huh?" Hearing this, the old man turned around and seemed to have anticipated Xu Han's obstruction. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Han, his sleepy face, but there was a faint smile on his face. "Manor Master, what other advice do you have?"

Xu Han looked at the old man for a long time before he said, "It's windy at night. Let me send Master off."

After saying that, he winked at the people behind him, signaling them to go back first.

Xiangzhang smiled, but he did not refuse. He quietly waited for Xu Han to finish handing over everything before going on his way with him.

…

After this series of changes, the time had come to be ugly.

Even in the bustling Chang'an City, there were no more pedestrians on the streets. Only occasionally, patrolling soldiers would pass by. When they saw Xu Han and Zhang Xiang, they would all stop and pay their respects.

Zhang Xiangchen had been a minister for so many years, and he had long been accustomed to this matter. Every troop of soldiers greeted him with a smile and returned the greeting.

The two of them walked for about fifteen minutes. Seeing that they were about to reach the Prime Minister's Mansion, Lord Zhang finally said, "Is Lord Manor Master wondering why I would help Gu Daozuo?"

This question was naturally what Xu Han wanted to ask. However, Xu Han was slightly surprised by the straightforward manner in which Zhang Xiang spoke.

Gu Daozuo was from the Long Night Division, so helping him wasn't a very strange thing. After all, most of the Great Zhou had been thinking about how to please that powerful man.

But what was strange about Zhang Xiang's actions was that while he helped Xu Han confirm his mistake on the left side of the Ancient Dao, he did not give Xu Han the chance to make a move and gave him a step down the left side of the Ancient Dao. This kind of method seemed exquisite, but in fact, it was not offended on either side of Chang'an City. In fact, it was offended on both sides of Chang'an City. At the very least, this was what Yu Changye Si and Yu Zhu Xian saw.

As far as Xu Han knew, Zhang Xiang had been an official in Great Zhou for many years, but he could be considered an old official of two dynasties. It was impossible for him not to understand this point.

"Yes." Seeing that Zhang Xiang was so frank, Xu Han nodded and admitted that he had such doubts in his heart.

"Haha." The old prime minister smiled at that time, but he did not answer this question immediately. "In that case, Palace Master should still want to ask me if I am an enemy or a friend?"

Hearing this, Xu Han nodded his head again. He had to say that this person was worthy of being someone who had invaded the official circles for many years. However, Xu Han was unable to conceal his thoughts from the other party.

"Is this important?" Zhang Xiang narrowed his eyes and asked.

This was naturally very important. Xu Han thought to himself in his heart. The Tian Ce Mansion was isolated in Chang'an. Although Zhang Xiang could not compare to Zhu Xian, he was still one of the few ministers who had the authority to speak in the court that the Long Night Division covered the sky. If he could get his support, he believed that the situation of the Tian Ce Mansion would definitely be better than before.

However, Xu Han thought about this in his heart and did not say it out loud. After all, he could not figure out what this picture was thinking.

However, the hesitation on his face had already exposed his thoughts to Zhang Xiang.

"Friends and enemies?" A trace of displeasure flashed through the old man's eyes, as if he was very disgusted with this word. "Everyone in the Great Zhou Empire is thinking about who is the enemy and who is the friend. Therefore, whatever the enemy does, be it good or bad, they must be stopped. Whatever the friend does, good or evil, they must help. That's why Great Zhou is like today."

The old man paused for a moment before his stooped body suddenly stopped and he turned to look straight at Xu Han. Only then did he say again, " Manor Chief Xu wants me to be a friend of the Tian Ce Mansion, so I need to know what kind of friend the Tian Ce Mansion wants."

Hearing this, Xu Han was stunned. He seemed to understand what Zhang Xiang said, as if he had caught something, but it was as if he hadn't caught anything.

"What does the Prime Minister mean?" He frowned and asked.

"Nothing else." The old man smiled again. He pointed to his left chest, where his heart was beating.

"Zhu Xian is installing the dragon chair in the Pu Tian Palace."

"Eunuch Wei is pretending to be Jun Wei Tian, this official is my son. If Jun Wei wants this official to die, this official will have to do whatever he can to die."

"Where's Yuwen Luo? This place pretends to care about his life and his people's misery. As long as the fate of the country still exists, he will have to sit on the throne of emperor for 10,000 years."

"And this old man wants to know what the Manor Master is pretending to be?"

Of course, Xu Han knew what he should say at this time.

For example, righteousness was the best way to win the old man's trust. But at that time, when he looked at the hunched, snow-white old man in front of him, he couldn't spit out anything that came to his mouth for some reason.

He didn't come to Chang'an for these reasons. Although he didn't lack the desire to repay the Headmaster and disciple, he came for himself in the end. Therefore, he was somewhat ashamed at that time and lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"What about Sir? What are you pretending to be?" After a while, Xu Han gathered his courage and asked.

This time, he changed his address, and changed it to a name that was quite affordable to Zhang.

The old man looked at Xu Han, who had not responded to him. He was somewhat gratified and helpless.

He let out a long sigh and said.

"Chang'an."
