On a small valley slope, two people were sitting on a dead tree holding wine and talking. Not far from the two, a man patrolling the surroundings with a sword in his arms and a cold expression.

One of the men with brown and yellow faces had a sip of wine with a little scar on their tiger's eyes, then turned his head and looked at the man opposite and smiled bitterly: "In this life, being as casual as you can be considered as having no regrets in this life!"

But the man shook his head and sipped his own sip of wine. Perhaps because the wine was too strong, he coughed unnaturally. Looking down at the boundless grassland in the distance, the man asked himself enviously: "Good and free?...I hope!"

The man with brown and yellow face among the two was Zhang Huaishen, the governor of Hexi. The young man who drank with him was wearing plain clothes and blue shirts. Chen Hao, who had not appeared for a long time. The two talked and laughed, and there was no tension at all that the war was coming to the city.

Zhang Huaishen followed Chen Hao's gaze and looked at the endless grassland in the distance. He sighed softly without saying a word. Chen Hao's self-question just now, Zhang Huaishen was deeply touched by his ears. In this eventful autumn of war fire and wolf smoke, who could be outside the matter and be free and easy? The beautiful scenery in front of him may stain the wasteland with blood and fall into the green hills tomorrow.

After a long time, after a long silence, Zhang Huaishen shook his head and said with a serious expression: "Changfeng, if you hadn't helped you to rescue me in time, Zhang would not only die in the Huangquan, but the entire Hexi would also fall into the hands of the Suo family. At that time, the Suo family and Tubo should cooperate with each other, and the land of Hexi would be destroyed without attack! By then, Chang'an is in danger, and the Tang Dynasty is in danger..."

Having said that, Zhang Huaishen was very grateful to Chen Hao: "Come on! Changfeng, thank you Zhang here!"

Chen Hao came over and showed a faint smile. He held the wine pot and touched Zhang Huaishen's wine pot. The crisp sound of the collision was crisp and distant.

"Brother Zhang's words are too polite. I wonder if Brother Zhang still remembers the gathering in Shouzhou that year..."

After Chen Hao's reminder, Zhang Huaisin recalled what happened back then. Zhang Huai smiled deeply and said, "The Changfeng stopped the cup and chopsticks back then, so that Zhang could see Changfeng's ambition! Conquer the world and pacify the four barbarians!"

At that time, Chen Hao placed his chopsticks horizontally and formed a cross shape to respond to Zhang Huaishen's question. The purpose was just as Zhang Huaishen said, and the purpose was to pacify the four barbarians and point the sword to the four directions.

Seeing that Zhang Huaishen had not forgotten, he joked: "Since I remember that the four barbarians have not yet been pacified, how could Chen let you leave easily with hatred?"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Huaishen's hearty laughter came from the valley slope. When the laughter stopped, Zhang Huaishen joked: "It seems that Zhang is really hardworking, but you are too risky this time. If you are not careful in one move, Suo's family will succeed... Changfeng, since you already know the inside story, why don't you tell me directly? Wouldn't this save a lot of trouble? "

Chen Hao turned his head, looked at Zhang Huaishen deeply, and then asked angrily: "Do you have not told you in advance? But how did you deal with it?"

"Forehead……"

Chen Hao's two consecutive questions made Zhang Huaishen, who was still talking just now, speechless. In his letter to him, Chen Hao reminded him many times to be wary of Zhang Huaiding and the people of the Suo family. However, he ignored Chen Hao's reminder and did not pay attention to Chen Hao's reminder. Now that Chen Hao's old story has been brought up again, Zhang Huaishen can't help but show shame on his face.

Looking at Zhang Huaishen who was silent, Chen Hao said lightly: "Although I did this for several ups and downs, it allowed you to see Zhang Huaiding's character and the conspiracy of the Suo family to be revealed to the world! It made you clearly understand how many generals in the Guiyi Army in Hexi have been infiltrated by the Suo family! In this way, wouldn't this process of your thorough investigation be eliminated?"

Zhang Huaishen nodded. Although this time was dangerous, it was precisely because of this that he could see clearly the deployment of the entire Suo family. He also allowed him to see how many people in the Guiyi army were bribed by the Suo family... These are effects that were difficult to achieve after-final investigation.

"What Changfeng said makes sense, but Changfeng, if one of the links cannot be closely linked, wouldn't it be a waste of effort to make the Suo family's traitor succeed?"

Suddenly, Chen Hao's expression was slightly stunned. After a brief pause in the air, he sent him to his mouth and took a sip. Then he said firmly: "I won't let my friends get hurt anymore, so I will repeatedly ponder every link of the matter a hundred and a thousand times..."

Seeing that Chen Hao looked a little strange, he kept silent and stopped talking about this matter. The valley slope returned to peace again. At this time, He Xuan, who was standing in the distance, looked as usual and wanted to come here. When he came to the nearest place, he whispered a few words in Chen Hao's ear, and then stood aside and waited for Chen Hao's instructions.

After listening to He Xuan’s report, Chen Hao gradually relaxed his frown, and then said softly: "I can’t eat hot tofu in a hurry, keep waiting!"

He Xuan nodded without saying a word, then turned around and walked towards the distance. Zhang Huaishen looked at He Xuan's back as he was leaving and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother He is all waiting for Changfeng's orders. Changfeng is surrounded by talents..."

They are all in a delicate heart, so how could Chen Hao not hear Zhang Huaishen's meaning? So he smiled softly: "When Chen first arrived in Hexi, he killed the arm of a military officer. I believe Brother Zhang still remembers..."

Zhang Huai nodded deeply. At that time, Chen Hao committed a public crime in order to establish his authority, and indeed suppressed the bigwigs in Hexi. Looking back on the situation that day, Zhang Huai Shen still remembers it deeply.

"I knew at the beginning that the Suo family was not a good thing. I had secretly sent He Xuan to monitor him in secret, but He Xuan became Suo Xun's close guard commander, and what I didn't expect was that this time could help you, the governor, to be busy!"

"Uh...hehe! Things are really uncontrollable, and you can't control it..." Zhang Huaishen smiled awkwardly. He could naturally hear Chen Hao's tone of speaking a little stiff, so he hurriedly concealed his embarrassment with a smile.

Zhang Huaishen's words just now did have something to say. Although he was grateful for Chen Hao's saving him this time, he was also secretly shocked that Chen Hao had already intervened in Hexi. If it weren't for this incident, who would have known that Suo Xun's close guard commander was actually Chen Hao's subordinate. This really shocked him. It would be impossible to say that there was no fear in this. Because he didn't know whether there was Chen Hao's eyes and ears in his Guiyi army or even around him.

Chen Hao then stood up, patted Zhang Huaishen's shoulder gently, and said in a meaningful tone: "Friends pay attention to a kind of trust! Soon, the wolf killing will lead a large army to help you, and the western gate of the Tang Dynasty will be handed over to you!"

"What about you!? Now the war is everywhere, it is Changfeng who is turning the tide, you..."
