At this time, Wu Liang was like the man downstairs waiting for the second shoe to fall.

However, the second boot refused to fall. He and Dian Wei waited until Xu Shi (8 p.m.), but no one came to summon them.

This era is different from later generations.

Except for some special places, people basically have no nightlife, and even those special places will close early and stop accepting customers, and even the lanterns at the door will be extinguished.

Especially in the winter in the north.

It gets dark around five o'clock in the afternoon, and night falls around six o'clock in the afternoon.

After people had dinner, apart from doing things related to reproduction, there were no other entertainment activities. Especially those from poorer families were reluctant to light oil lamps and had to go to bed early.

And even for some wealthy families, most of them have also developed a similar life pattern. By the time of Xu, except for some night watchmen and watchmen, basically few people will go out for activities. Is it possible to go out with a wife or a concubine?

Isn't it fragrant enough when you get into a warm bed?

"It seems that Zhang Liang will most likely not summon us today."

Wu Liang said helplessly.

Considering that today is the winter solstice, in addition to the sacrificial ceremony held at the ancient altar during the day, there may also be some activities held at Zhang Liang's home. It is indeed possible that Zhang Liang has no time to pay attention to him at all.

After all, in Zhang Liang's eyes, he is just an incense maker.

Although there are rumors that he followed Xun Yu as his example and was obsessed with incense, there is no need to take him as a master incense maker too seriously.

"Otherwise, young master, please go to bed and rest first. Wei will be waiting by the side."

Dian Wei said seriously.

"You should also take a rest. Only when you have enough energy can you help me deal with everything."

Wu Liang nodded slightly, smiled and said, "Besides, we are already here now. Zhang Liang doesn't need to use any dirty tricks to harm us, so we don't need to be too nervous, just act according to the situation."

"That's what the young master said."

Dian Wei responded.

So the two of them took off their boots and clothes and lay on the bed.

Soon after, a steady sound of snoring could be heard from Wu Liang's side, but there was silence from Dian Wei's side.

Wu Liang fell asleep.

Dian Wei did not fall asleep so easily.

Listening to Wu Liang's snoring, Dian Wei thought a lot.

He didn't know what would happen tomorrow, but one thing was certain, once Zhang Liang made a move that was detrimental to Wu Liang, no matter how passive the situation was at that time, he would do his best to protect Wu Liang Zhouquan.

He knows his own strength.

Ordinary people couldn't get close to him, but when he entered Zhang's Mansion today, he had already paid attention to the defense situation of Zhang's Mansion.

Very strict.

A small Zhang Mansion alone can see hundreds of soldiers and guards, all carrying sharp weapons.

It’s hard to say without seeing it.

In addition, there are Jinyang City defenders who can be dispatched by Zhang Liang. According to Yang Wanli, there are more than a thousand defenders in Jinyang City, and because Jinyang City is very close to Taiyuan County, they can attack Taiyuan County at any time.

Ask for help, and a very considerable reinforcement will arrive within an hour or two.

Facing so many people at the same time, he could not guarantee that he would be able to protect Wu Liang and escape unscathed in the event of a conflict.

As for himself, he is also not made of steel, but this is not within the scope of his consideration.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

Wu Liang took a liking to him at first sight and took him out of Chenliu's garrison. Since then, he has been freed from the narrow-minded pressure of seeking favors. He also allowed him to have free food and drink, and also promoted him to become a captain. In this way

The kindness of knowledge and encounter is worth repaying with life.

Dian Wei lay on the bed and thought about it.

There has never been a way to absolutely guarantee Wu Liang's safety.

But when he turned to look at Wu Liang, who had already fallen asleep, Dian Wei suddenly felt relieved.

You can both eat and sleep.

It seems a little heartless, but in Dian Wei's eyes, this is a confident performance.

"Young Master must have already had a perfect plan in mind, so I can deal with it calmly. Unfortunately, I am just a martial artist, and my mind is not as good as Young Master's. If anything happens, I will always be unable to understand Young Master's thoughts, and I will not be able to share your worries for Young Master."

Dian Wei thought with some shame, "Having the young master by my side really makes people feel at ease. I am also a mediocre person. Why should I think about these things? As long as I act according to the young master's wishes, I will be fine... It's a pity that I am not a woman.

Miss Jingjing is so blessed that she cannot stay with the young master day and night."

Although Dian Wei's appearance gives people a rough appearance, he doesn't talk much on weekdays, and his gestures are full of majesty and violence, but in fact he is also a delicate and insecure person.

There have been many rough and fine details before, which can reflect his delicate thoughts.

As for the lack of security, no one could see it, not even Wu Liang was aware of it. On the contrary, they felt safer and more at ease when they stayed with Dian Wei.

Dian Wei is also an extremely reserved man.

He usually said that Wu Liang's thoughts were his thoughts, but as a person with independent thinking, how could he not have his own thoughts, but rarely express his feelings in front of others.

Of course, fortunately he is a reserved man.

Otherwise, just based on what he said just now, the first part is easy to say, especially the last sentence. Wu Liang may have to look at Dian Wei with new eyes, and may not dare to be in the same room with Dian Wei for a long time...

"Go to sleep, young master, and rest in peace. Although Wei can't share your worries, he can be by your side and watch over you so that you have nothing to worry about and never have to worry about anything..."

…

The other side.

Although Wu Liang was sleeping, he actually met Zhen Mi in his sleep.

I don’t know if she is still secretly competing with Bai Jingjing. This time Zhen Mi’s clothes are extremely environmentally friendly. In addition to covering some important sexual organs, it is only a little better than the bikinis of later generations.

Wu Liang was also frightened when he saw her like this.

Although she is not old, her figure is already extremely attractive. Coupled with her pretty face that is slightly flushed and shy, it is impossible for ordinary people to control her.

"She really understands men..."

Wu Liang's heart was beating wildly.

If he hadn't known that this was a dream, he would have been satisfied if he had messed around, but in the end he would have sprayed his pants everywhere, and he might have chosen another day instead of hitting the sun.

"Does it look good?"

However, Zhen Mi took the initiative to step forward, put a jade hand on his shoulder, and then straightened her chest as if to show off.

"It's naturally indescribably good-looking, but it's really not the right time right now. Madam, please use your magical powers temporarily and don't torture me anymore."

Wu Liang stared straight at Zhen Mi, swallowed and gritted his teeth.

"Kekeke..."

Zhen Mi seemed very satisfied with Wu Liang's performance and smiled broadly.

Then he turned around and pulled out a big red robe from nowhere. When he was spinning like an elf, the red robe was already wrapped around his body. He then said with a normal expression: "The gentleman can still fall asleep. I think the current situation should be pretty good."

Yes, I wonder what useful information you can find out by entering the Zhang Mansion, and what else do you need to explain to me?"

"Has Yang Wanli told you what he saw?"

Wu Liang asked instead without answering.

"He only said that he saw the immortal master named Zuo Ci tied up into a rice dumpling. After rolling down from the carriage, he seemed to be trying to escape, but was severely beaten by Zhang Liang's men with a whip. Then you and Dian

Wei was taken back to the Zhang Mansion together... and he couldn't find out more about what happened next."

Zhen Mi crossed her arms, squeezed out a thrilling career line that was seriously inconsistent with her age, and commented bluntly, "But judging from the current situation, Zhang Liang is obviously not a good person. You are pretending to be close to him. I'm afraid it's...

A bad chess move that is not up to standard would be much more difficult to break into in the Zhang Mansion than in my Zhen Mansion."

Wu Liang turned his eyes away from the career line with great difficulty, nodded and admitted: "You are right, this is indeed a bad move. It is only my fault that I was affected by some information and preconceived that I made a misunderstanding of the situation.

Judgment."

The information that influenced him was the records in history books.

He had always mistakenly thought that Zuo Ci was the leader of this sacrificial ceremony, and Zhang Liang was just an ordinary official who was served by Zuo Ci, so all his attention and speculation was on Zuo Ci, and even Zhang Liang was completely ignored.

Only then did he make such a bad move, which put himself, Dian Wei, and even the Hu army into an extremely passive situation.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

Zhen Mi calmly tugged on her red robe, making her career line looming.

This move made Wu Liangliang even more maddened. It could be seen from the slightly raised corners of her mouth and the helpful look in her eyes that this was probably her intention. She really understood it.

"The immortal master named Zuo Ci has already paid the price for his previous actions outside. He had one of his eyes gouged out by Zhang Liang."

Wu Liang said.

"Oh? The situation is even worse than I thought."
