If you have something to say, what are you showing off here?

Although Xi Zhicai only said a simple sentence, Cao Pi was very annoyed because of his attitude.

Because the other party gave him the feeling that he was a jerk, and a jerk was not enough to conspire with him!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Cao Pi made a serious note to Xi Zhicai in his heart, and then said with a smile: "In this case, we all rely on your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Xi Zhi lazily left the pillar, stood crookedly and gave an informal salute to the other party, then hummed something unknown, turned around and walked out of the hall.

When he arrived outside the palace, he was slightly awakened by the cold wind, but he also felt more dizzy. At this time, his feet were already on the stairs.

His body was shaking violently, and just when he almost lost control of his body and was about to fall, a pair of hands appeared beside him and held him firmly.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhong Yao.

"Hey, Mr. Zhong? Why are you here here in the middle of the night when you're not taking a break at home?"

Zhong Yao smiled cheerfully and did not answer. Instead, he smiled and asked: "Zhicai, since you are confident in solving such troubles, you must know who this assassin is, right?"

"Tsk! Who else besides Xi Yu? Although I don't know when those assassins sneaked into Chang'an, but if I guess correctly, the 'assassins' he sent must be those black knights!"

"Because in the whole world, only the Black Cavalry has such unpredictable and unpredictable means and strategies. It kills people quietly. If those guys...

If we treat them as ordinary cavalry, I'm afraid they will suffer big losses..."

"In fact, I have had several discussions with my late lord about the black knights. The main purpose was to study the talents of these people. In addition to killing people, they also learned strategies!"

Together with Zhong Yao, he slowly walked down the steps and walked towards the outer hall, intending to find the commander-in-chief in the imperial city and ask him to pass the news to Cao Zhang.

Then he asked Cao Zhang to arrange the manpower to block the city gate, and finally worked with him to conduct an in-depth search of the people in the city.

In this dim environment with light moonlight, the two of them never stopped talking until they reached the university grounds.

Only then did Xi Zhicai talk about what Xi Yu taught the black knight to learn and practice.

"I still remember that there were thirteen subjects that Xi Yu ordered the black knights to study. Assassination and stealth were only two of them. In addition to these black knights, they also had to study strategy, business, agriculture, and arithmetic..."

"Not only that, he also set up an inspection system at the end of each month. Anyone who fails in one of the thirteen subjects will be expelled from the Black Cavalry team."

"It took several years under such fierce competition before the Black Cavalry took shape today!"

"It was at that time that the first batch of black knights came into the world. They were no more than a hundred people, so the name of the black knights was resounding throughout the world!"

"I feel that the White Cavalry who is causing trouble for everyone now is probably no different from what the Black Cavalry has learned."

"It's a pity that only Xi Yu knows the subjects they learn, and we can't teach them at all..."

"I see!"

Zhong Yao was quite impressed after hearing the other party say so much along the way.

He nodded slowly, then looked at the other person with burning eyes, and said calmly: "In this case, since we know that this matter was done by the black knight, why don't we kill or expel him on the spot, but search everywhere?

"

"Because no matter how powerful they are, what they are doing now is just assassinations and unsavory things that only young people can do. As long as I wait for the whole city to be under martial law and search, I think they will be upset."

"Seven days later, regardless of whether these people are found by us or not, the city gate will be opened. By then, with their panicked temperament, they will definitely try their best to escape from Chang'an."

"At that time, wouldn't it be better if we dispatched soldiers to arrest them all, torture them severely, and interrogate them about the specific contents of those thirteen subjects?"

"So that's it, this plan is so clever! If we can also learn that knowledge, I'm afraid we can bring peace to all generations!"

Zhong Yao stroked his beard and smiled happily.

"Looking at the current situation in the world, in troubled times, prosperity is late, and it is difficult for Confucian scholars in the world to protect themselves. Naturally, it will be difficult for them to develop and grow. If Confucianism and Taoism become lonely, it will really chill people's hearts."

"If some methods and skills can be found in Chang'an at this time to help and revive it, it can be regarded as a sign before the prosperous age is coming."

"I have never thought about this. I just hope to save Chang'an."

Xi Zhicai shook his head, sighed deeply, and continued: "Before my late lord passed away, he asked me repeatedly to help him, so I can ignore other things, but I cannot ignore my lord's worries."

"My only wish now is that Xi Yu will not harm the lord or the Wei Dynasty again!"

"I see!"

Zhong Yao nodded, he didn't know how many times he said this along the way.

Xi Zhicai also discovered that Zhong Yao only listened to himself from beginning to end, but never expressed his thoughts, opinions or even strategies. I wonder... what did he think?

He still values ​​​​this old man who is older than him and has been working with him for several years!

"Mr. Zhong, Zhicai is bold enough to ask, I wonder... what is your opinion on the world today..."

"Hahaha, good opinions have nothing to do with me!"

Zhong Yao looked up to the sky and laughed, and then looked at the other party and said speciously: "Although I eat the emperor's salary and worry about the emperor, I am just a person who is about to die. The only thing I can do is to fulfill my duty faithfully."

"When I am in charge of my position, whatever position my lord gives me, I will do my duty with peace of mind. As for the rest, it has nothing to do with me, whether it is the world or great undertakings, it has nothing to do with me!"

After saying this, the two of them arrived outside the palace gate, and it was time to go their separate ways.

The two said goodbye, and Zhong Yao took his servants in a carriage and walked slowly towards Jiqing Street.

At the end of this street are the residences of various ministers. Along the way, the avenue is flat, but there are continuous paths, just like a leafy tree, with the avenue as the main trunk and densely packed small branches all around.

There is nothing wrong with walking on this road during the day, but at night, if others have evil intentions, it becomes an excellent place to kill people, steal goods, and hide everywhere!

"Walking this road in the dead of night, he's not afraid of anything!"

Xi Zhicai looked at the carriage gradually leaving and murmured to himself.

Suddenly, he thought about a problem that had been bothering him for a long time - the road!

What troubles me is not the road in front of me, but the road of life!

"Mr. Zhong... is really enviable..."

It was only at this moment that Xi Zhi finally sobered up.

After living for half a lifetime, the only person I have seen who is alive and clear is probably the person in front of me.
