Chapter 312: Seeing Gong Ren again

Di Renjie left, and Zhang Zong also personally sent him away. The guard in front of the door had already withdrawn. After all, after understanding the power of it, Zhang Zong could not escape again.

"Brother Zhang, please think carefully about what I said just now. Never delay yourself because of such a thing!" Di Renjie took off the horse next to him, and then bowed to Zhang Zong again.

"Thank you, Brother Di, I already know what to do next!" Zhang Zong smiled calmly at this time, but there seemed to be endless bitterness in his smile.

Di Renjie seemed to see the helplessness behind Zhang Zong's smile, and sighed immediately, then turned over to the horse, then bowed to Zhang Zong again, and then ran away.

Looking at Di Renjie's departure back, Zhang Zong also sighed. The other party said something to him before leaving, only four words - "The tree has been completed."

Of course, Zhang Zong also understood what he meant. The fact that he became the son-in-law had been told to the world and could not be changed. Moreover, in Di Renjie's view, Zhang Zong had a bright future. Being the son-in-law was not harmful to him, but was of great help. After all, the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty was not as restricted as in later generations and could also participate in the government.

In fact, from the thinking of the ancients, Di Renjie's words are also very reasonable, especially for those who are determined to have a career. Marriage is actually very common to them. Between officials and officials, between nobles and royal families, etc., it can be said that in marriage, personal feelings are actually not important, what is important is the combination of interests.

Of course, the above things are also very common in later generations, but unfortunately, Zhang Zong was exposed to such things for the first time in his life. Even if he is unable to resist now, he is unwilling to accept the arrangement of fate. This is also the main reason for his previous serious illness.

"The wood has been completed! The wood has been completed..." Zhang Zong returned to the room with these four words, and had not spoken for a long time, but his expression was also very calm. After all, as time went by, he had begun to slowly accept this matter.

The next morning, Zhang Zong got up and moved his body, and then Wan'er was filled with a large bowl of bitter medicine. Although he felt that he no longer needed to take medicine, Wan'er was still worried. He would get up early every day to boil medicine for Zhang Zong, and Zhang Zong really couldn't refuse. Fortunately, the imperial doctors prescribed some warm and tonic medicines now, and the medicine is very gentle, and it would be no harm if they took it.

After breakfast, Zhang Zong thought about what he had talked with Di Renjie yesterday, so he planned to go to the Tianzhu in Dali Temple, and then vaccinate the dead prisoners twice, observe their physical reactions, so as to obtain more useful data.

However, before Zhang Zong could go out, someone suddenly came to visit. Wan'er went to open the door, but only when a familiar person came in, Zhang Zong was surprised to see the other party, "Brother Gong? Why are you here?"

The person who came to visit was Gong Ren, a Tubo man. When the Tang Dynasty used troops to fight against Tubo, their Tubo delegation was also detained. The group could only stay in the inn, completely isolating the news from the outside world. Zhang Zong had never seen the other party. Now the other party is visiting. Has the court lifted their house arrest?

"Brother Zhang, you're so sad!" After Gong Ren came in, he also said to Zhang Zong with a bitter look on his face. The war against Tubo in the Tang Dynasty had ended and ended with a disastrous defeat in Tubo. What's even more unlucky is that Gong Ren's father was the commander of Tuyuhun, and his uncle was the commander of Tubo in the four towns of Anxi.

"What does Brother Gong mean? Why am I hiding it from you?" Zhang Zong asked deliberately pretending to be incomprehensible, and then enthusiastically invited the other party to sit in the living room.

"Brother Zhang, why do you have to act again? As a close minister around the prince, wouldn't you know the Tang Dynasty's plan to use military force against me, Tubo?" Gong Ren asked with a wry smile again.

Now Zhang Zong was really not ashamed to refuse to admit it, so he had to smile awkwardly and said, "It turns out that Brother Gong is talking about this, but we are all for their own masters. I really can't blame me. And if I really dare to tell you about my previous combat plan, I'm afraid I will be killed by the court!"

Gong Ren sighed after hearing this, "I know Brother Zhang, you have your own difficulties, so I have never blamed you. It's just that now we are defeated by Tubo, I'm afraid my father and uncle will be in a very bad situation!"

"Now that the war has ended, Brother Gong, do you know the situation in Tubo?" Zhang Zong asked curiously at this time.

Since Gong Ren has been freely active, I think Tubo should also contact the people of the mission, because as far as he knows, Tubo repeatedly sought peace from the Tang Dynasty, and it was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to really fight to the plateau, so peace talks were put on the agenda, and the Tubo mission and the Tang Dynasty would definitely need to negotiate with the Tang Dynasty.

"No, we have just been released. Now Tubo has not sent anyone, and we don't know what's going on in the country?" Gong Ren spread his hands at this time and said helplessly. He wanted to put on his wings and fly back. After all, his uncle and his father were defeated, and he would probably be under a lot of pressure and might even be attacked by someone.

"Brother Gong, in your opinion, what kind of pressure will your family bear in Tubo after this defeat?" Zhang Zong suddenly asked again.

"I don't know!" Gong Ren said calmly, "Our family was at its peak in Tubo before, especially since the Battle of Dafeichuan, almost no one dared to question the strength of our family, but now my father and uncle have both been defeated, I'm afraid..."

Gong Ren suddenly stopped at the end, with a solemn expression on his face. Their family had monopolized power before, but it was not without enemies. In fact, many people were looking forward to their unluckyness. This defeat also gave these people an excellent handle. There must be many people who will take the blame at that time. Maybe their family is now being excluded from the Tubo.

When Zhang Zong saw this, he reached out and patted Gong Ren on the shoulder and said, "Brother Gong Ren, I still said the same thing. If Tubo cannot tolerate you, you can come to the Tang Dynasty. I believe that Your Majesty and the Prince will definitely welcome you!"

"This..." Gong Ren smiled bitterly when he heard Zhang Zong's old story again, "It's too early to say this now, but after this defeat, our family will definitely be very sad in Tubo."
