I opened a tavern in Datang/Datang: My peerless talent was exposed

Then he can concentrate on chatting in the telegraph room... Ah, bah, it's the supervisory telegraph room.

It's a pity that although it's cool to touch fish, it's still a problem after all, and it's a big problem at first.

If Zhang Nuo can understand why Xingben was not able to go out with him because he was catching fish in the telegraph room before, Zhang Nuo is a little unhappy that no one has been arranged to bring Hongyu back to protect it. .

This is really a question of professionalism!

But at this time, Xingben was venting his anger on the Japanese, or it could be called an interrogation, so another person had to be arranged to bring Hongyu back quickly.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of guards around him at this time, so just arrange for someone to take Hongyu to pick him up.

While Zhang Nuo was thinking about the impact of today's incident, he walked slowly towards the main hall. He had to listen to the report later to see what was going on.

At the same time, no need to think about it, the news of his assassination may have already caused a storm in the city, and Ma Zhou should be coming soon.

It has to be said that sometimes this person really can't help talking about it. Just now when he was talking about Ma Zhou, he saw Ma Zhou running over panting.

Seeing Zhang Nuo's clean appearance, he breathed a sigh of relief.

I can't help Ma Zhou not being nervous, the earthen pot will inevitably be broken by the well, and the general will inevitably die in battle. No matter how high Zhang Nuo's force value is, if someone really wants to assassinate, Zhang Nuo is not invincible.

After Ma Zhou heard the news of Zhang Nuo's assassination, he almost frightened his soul out. God, he, Ma Zhou, finally met the Ming Lord. The Tongtian Dao has just started. If something happens to His Royal Highness King Qin, although he is happy It turned out that the captain of the personal guard was going to be punished.

But Shi, the head of Qin Wangfu, is also uncomfortable, maybe he will be implicated at that time.

Not to mention that it was Zhang Nuo who single-handedly dug him out of the small things, and pushed him to the position of the fourth-rank official, Qin Wangfu Chief Shi, Ma Zhou will never forget this kindness.

"Your Highness, the official is late, you are startled!"

Zhang Nuo almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. If you can't speak, don't say you can do it. Why?

But he can't talk about it because of this matter. After all, although many people are old drivers who are looking for flowers and asking for will these days, many dirty stalks don't exist at all.

Zhang Nuo sighed slightly, and said a little aggrieved,

"It's okay, you have a heart, Xingben's head is hot at the moment, I'm afraid I don't have the heart to arrange the patrol, you can start to arrange it first, and then I will let Baiqisi handle the affairs in the city, you will wait later Let the city settle down as soon as possible!"

Ma Zhou nodded, took the jade tablet that Zhang Nuo took from his waist, and turned to go to work.

Speaking of this jade tablet, it is quite interesting. Zhang Nuo was not used to hanging these things on his waist before. After all, he hung his keys when he was studying, and later hung his BB machine and mobile phone. Stuff in pocket.

But the rules of the Tang Dynasty are not like this. As Zhang Nuo is the king of Qin, if someone wants to use his name to do business, it is impossible for Zhang Nuo to write a note. No one else knows his handwriting and seal.

Therefore, according to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin simply didn't bother to discuss with him, and directly arranged for a craftsman in the palace to customize a batch of hanging ornaments for him.

He even hung some of them when he was the King of Qin himself. Except for keeping a few as souvenirs, the rest were given to Zhang Nuo.

It has to be said that although Zhang Nuo kept saying that this thing was like hanging a stone on his waist, it was such a troublesome thing for a thief, but after he got it, it was really delicious again.

The craftsmen in the palace are just different, or Li Shimin really has some good ones in his hands. It was originally the top-level jade. OK

After Zhang Nuo got started playing once, he took all the jade pendants away in a hurry.

Chapter 543 Worries About Safety

It didn't take long for the person who went to pick up Hongyu to pick up Hongyu back!

Then Hongyu threw herself on Zhang Nuo with a pale face, blah blah!

She is really scared!

She is not afraid of something happening to her, because she knows that no one will pay attention to her side concubine, but she is worried about Zhang Nuo.

Just because of her husband, she often secretly thanks God!

The more Hongyu chatted with those imperial wives, the more she felt that she was able to marry into the Zhang family, and meeting such a good husband was really a blessing in her previous life.

Loves others, is funny, takes care of the family, has a high status, is handsome, has good health, and also has all kinds of weird skills, not to mention a good cooking skill that makes people never stop talking.

And the most important point is that Zhang Nuo is extraordinarily clean.

This is something that Hongyu never thought of. It stands to reason that a person like Zhang Nuo has everything in wealth and status, and his age is when he is full of firepower.

However, Zhang Nuo didn't have the slightest problem with the children of those big families. Not only did he not ask for flowers, he even refused to accept those who came to his door, so he lived a small life with the two of them.

Even she asked Zhang Nuo to marry a wife or take a concubine many times on the grounds of spreading branches and leaves, but Zhang Nuo prevaricated them.

How could such a husband not make her feel sorry?

So today, when she heard the guard who hurried to find her say that Zhang Nuo had been assassinated, she almost sat on the ground with her legs limp.

If the guards hadn't quickly said that Zhang Nuo's majestic spanking had nothing to do with it, and that Hongyu was only concerned about Hongyu's safety and asked her to go home quickly, Hongyu felt that she might have passed out at that time.

But even though she knew in advance that Zhang Nuo was not injured, let alone being frightened, she was still worried, so after rushing back in a hurry, the first thing she did was to check if Zhang Nuo was okay.

Zhang Nuo didn't feel disgusted, instead he hugged Hongyu and said softly,

"Okay, girl, the guards should tell you that I'm fine. Why worry? It's just some little thieves. Your husband has nothing to do when he enters and exits seven times on the battlefield. Do you care about this?"

Hongyu was amused by her husband's witty words, rolled her eyes in a rare way, and quickly broke free from Zhang Nuo's arms. After all, it was broad daylight and there was someone beside her, so I was so embarrassed.

But when she turned her head, Hongyu's two delicate willow-leaf eyebrows frowned together,

"Where's Xingben? Why don't you see Xingben? Isn't he the captain of the personal guard?"

Hongyu is not a little girl who doesn't understand anything, not to mention that she has been in charge of affairs in Lantian City or Pyongyang City this year, and at the same time, she has to take care of the affairs inside and outside of the entire Qin Palace.

Just to say that she has been in the palace and Li Shimin's Prince Qin's mansion in the early years, and she has to help Empress Changsun manage a lot of things.Therefore, she is not a coquettish little girl who can only act like a baby.

Just now, I was only thinking about Zhang Nuo's safety, but when I turned around, I felt something was wrong!

At this time, Xingben, as the captain of the personal guard, shouldn't have followed closely behind Zhang Nuo to protect him, and deployed all the personal guards at the same time, what about people?

And on the way here, she also asked about the situation. Although the guards were a little vague, and her main focus was on Zhang Nuo, she didn't ask too much detail. But in retrospect, it seems that Xingben was not there when Zhang Nuo had an accident. around?

This made Hongyu a little unbearable!

She is not like Zhang Nuo who has received the harmonious education of later generations.In her opinion, a servant has to do the work of a servant, and if he does well, he will be rewarded and if he fails, he will be punished.

Xingben is the captain of the personal guard, so he should honestly handle the affairs of the captain of the personal guard quickly, unless Zhang Nuo or His Majesty has other tasks on him.

Otherwise, if he can't even do his job well, then this person is useless.

Zhang Nuo instinctively explained for Xingben, what happened in the telegraph room, but Hongyu didn't buy it at all,

"Your Highness, my concubine is not a vicious woman who slanders, but Xingben has been careless once or twice. His Majesty was attacked under his protection before, and now His Highness is even more abandoned. Such things happen all the time. Twice, will His Highness still protect him?"

"The concubine is not trying to punish Xingben, but the concubine thinks that Xingben is no longer good enough to serve as the commander of the personal guard! The concubine is really worried that something similar will happen again next time. If you really make a mistake, not only will the concubine I don't want to live alone in this world, even the whole Tang Dynasty will be in turmoil!"

Seeing that Zhang Nuo was still a little unconcerned, Hongyu stood up directly, looked at Zhang Nuo seriously and said,

"Your Highness, my concubine knows that you are highly skilled in martial arts, but it's easy to hide with an open spear and difficult to defend against a hidden arrow. What if the people who attacked today didn't fight melee, but with bows and crossbows?

Maybe you are not afraid of ordinary crossbows, but what if they directly attack and kill them with eight-ox crossbows?You can dodge one arrow and two arrows, can you always dodge it? "

Zhang Nuo was a little silent when he heard this, he seemed to be a little drifting recently!

He has always had no concept of his own safety. After all, he grew up in such a safe environment in later generations. At the same time, even after coming to Datang, he has nothing to worry about or be afraid of in Chang'an. Fill up directly.

In this way, he seemed to have no idea about his own safety, and it was precisely because of this that he felt that it was no big deal if Xingben wasn't with him.

But in fact, Zhang Nuo clearly knew that although his strength was high, he was definitely not invulnerable, let alone invincible.

Especially the sudden explosive damage with extremely high attack power, just like Hongyu said just now, because of the strength of ordinary crossbows, the flying speed is slow and the attack power is low, he is really not afraid.

He had experimented with this before in the school grounds of Lantian City. A dozen or so people surrounded him and shot at him with bows and arrows, but he could basically block them.

But something like the eight-ox crossbow is a bit scary.

To put it bluntly, this thing is an absolute top killer in this era. The eight-ox crossbow that can only be operated by several people was originally used to shoot the siege ruler onto the city wall, and then allow people to climb up.

But there is another great use of this thing, which is to attack people, especially when attacking cavalry, the effect is really good.

Once a shot is fired, it basically becomes two pieces when it hits the opponent.

Zhang Nuo had also seen the launch of the Ba Niu Crossbow. After all, he also had a weapons research institute under his name. Of course, he couldn't just study hot weapons, he also had to study the cold weapons in the past.

The conclusion of the final research is that the lethality of this thing within a hundred meters is probably about the same as that of an anti-material rifle!

Chapter 544 The Long Hidden Conspiracy

Zhang Nuo never underestimated the creativity of the ancients, let alone the wisdom of the ancients, but when Zhang Nuo saw the test results, he was really surprised.

However, with a big heart, he turned his head and forgot. After all, he can't use this thing for the time being. It's not good to have a cannon in hand. Why do you have to turn around and use the eight-ox crossbow?

But now after Hongyu brought it up, Zhang Nuo suddenly discovered that if he doesn't need it, it doesn't mean others don't.

If someone really planned to get a few eight-ox crossbows now, and then set up an ambush on the way he must pass, and then fired a volley, he seemed to be probably really cold!

That's right, Zhang Nuo thought about it for a long time, and finally came to the same conclusion. If someone really shot at him with a crossbow, as long as there was no strong enough cover around him, he would die.

Zhang Nuo didn't pay attention to these things before, or occasionally thought of them or sighed, but they just passed in his mind and didn't think about them.

After all, as I said before, a person who has grown up and lived in a peaceful environment for a long time really has no concept of being on guard against danger, and does not pay enough attention to it!

But now, after experiencing such a real attack and killing that he had only seen in books, TV, and movies before, Zhang Nuo suddenly felt, what the hell, it seems that Lao Tzu is really likely to be silenced Damn it.

Zhang Nuo is not the kind of reckless man who doesn't listen to others' persuasion. When he really realized that his life was in danger, he immediately came to his senses.

Well, brother Xingben, you idiot, it's better not to be the captain of the personal guard, just let you concentrate on going to the telegraph room and forget it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Nuo looked at Hongyu sincerely and said,

"Red Yu, don't worry, I didn't like that kid Xingben a long time ago. Doesn't that kid like to stay in the telegraph office? Let him hang around there in the future!"

The guard who had been following him almost lost his teeth!

They are all old people who follow Zhang Nuo. They were already guards at home when they were in Lantian City, and they are all veterans who came along from Li Shimin.

So they knew much more about Zhang Nuo's family than outsiders.

Just now when Hongyu was in front of Zhang Nuo, one by one, one by one, one by one, they knew that Xingben's shriveled boy was going to be in trouble!

Because it is obvious that Mrs. Hongyu is already angry, and she is talking to His Highness with an attitude of persuasion. If anyone speaks indiscriminately at this time, it will be difficult for His Highness and Mrs. Hongyu. Woolen cloth.

Moreover, they sometimes complain about Xingben's out-of-the-box temperament in private. A personal guard leader who can mix with Zhang Nuo's personal guards and Zhang Nuo himself sometimes can't find anyone. From this, it can be seen that Xingben has How unreliable.

So, at least they pretended to be wooden figures without looking sideways, as if they hadn't heard them just now.

But what I didn't expect was that His Royal Highness King Qin, who usually said nothing, really gave in?

If it weren't for the few of them holding their breath well, they almost laughed out loud just now.

In fact, Zhang Nuo is also thinking about things in his mind at the moment. It doesn't matter whether Xingben's personal guard commander takes it or not, but the key is who will come up after Xingben goes down?

Even though the position of commander of the personal guard is inconspicuous, it is actually really difficult to choose a suitable candidate.

As a personal guard commander, in terms of professional quality, not to mention patience and carefulness, but also a high military quality, only in this way can we discover hidden crises in advance and deal with them in advance.

There is no way to learn this kind of thing, there is no place that specifically teaches this, only the experience passed down by word of mouth and my own thinking.

That's it, although it seems difficult, but there is still a way after all, just learn slowly.

But there is another most important requirement for the commander of the personal guards, and that is Zhang Nuo's trust.

This is not a joke, but really put your life in the hands of the other party.

Because the commander of the personal guard not only knows a lot of things he should know and what he shouldn't know because of his work, but at the same time, Zhang Nuo's itinerary and so on will all fall on him.

If the commander of the personal guard had evil intentions, then Zhang Nuo would really be doomed.

At the same time, because this position is really the same as a servant, it has to go deep into all aspects of Zhang Nuo's work and life, so if the other party's personality doesn't match Zhang Nuo, it's nonsense.

Therefore, it is easy to replace Xingben, but it is a big problem who can take over.

Zhang Nuo looked at Hongyu and blinked her eyes, and asked directly,

"Girl, who do you think can take over Xingben's seat?"

Hongyu was also a bit torn about this matter, but after all, she came out of the palace. After thinking about it, she whispered,

"Why don't we ask His Majesty for an important person, anyway, the Xingben was given by His Majesty, and now that there is something wrong with Xingben, His Majesty is also responsible for changing it for us!"

Zhang Nuo stared at Hongyu in a daze, "Damn it, girl, you are so brave. You asked Li Shimin, the emperor, for a personal guard commander, and you actually asked Li Shimin for after-sales service?"

This talent can be sold by the unit leader, repair and refund?

But if you think about it, it seems to be okay, why can't you ask Lao Li to ask for someone again?

Anyway, when he is the emperor, he has all kinds of messy talents under his command, which is better than himself, a prince with no team and no foundation.

Moreover, changing one is just changing anyway, and when the time comes, the person Lao Li gets is not suitable, so Lao Li will have to change another one!

Zhang Nuo and his wife, who were already determined to catch Li Shimin, a sheep, were about to go to the back to have a whisper or something, when the commander of the Baiqi Division sent out before suddenly walked in.
