Fang Xuanling arrived at Zhang's mansion, and before he knocked on the door knocker, the vermilion lacquer door slowly opened.

The little guy who followed Fang Xiang was naturally literate and hyphenated, and when he looked up, he saw that there were really two words written on the lintel plaque: Zhang Fu.

Ah, it's really Zhang's house. Wasn't this a deserted house before? When did it become Zhang's mansion? I don't know who lived there?

The door was wide open, and the old man with a goatee came out of it, smiling with a wrinkled face, and it was like a thousand ravines.

The old man with a goatee walked out and said to Fang Xuanling: "Presumably this is Fang Xiangguo, right?"

"Exactly. Fang Xuanling turned over and dismounted, slightly bowing.

"My son-in-law ordered the old slave to wait here. The goatee stepped down the steps and bowed deeply to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling suddenly felt that the Zhang family in Hedong really lived up to its reputation, and this young man actually expected that he would come to see him this time. It seems that His Majesty did not choose the Zhang family for no reason.

"That's a guide for you. Fang Xuanling said gently.

The old man with the goatee nodded, and then instructed the porter to greet the entourage of the prime minister, and feed the red horse, and use the best feed. The porters got the order, and Fang Xuanling found that there were a few ordinary servants in this porter, but the posture of walking turned out to be Lianjiazi. And the old man with a goatee in front of him is also walking lightly.

Oh, this Zhang Mansion seems to be really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Fang Xuanling followed the goatee, and although he didn't look around along the way, he also knew a little bit about the gossip of the five elements of Qimen Dunjia. The layout of the house in this mansion actually hides the gossip of the five elements of Qimen Dunjia, and from a military point of view, it is also suitable for ambushes.

It's a shame that he is not the enemy of Zhangfu, if the enemy comes. Even if there are thousands of troops, I am afraid that there will be no return.

The more Fang Xuanling looked, the more he felt that the future was very promising.

Hehe, the eldest grandson is Mowgli. Don't you know what kind of person your own little brother-in-law is? Do you think that if you secretly give birth to ghosts, he will not deal with you? He is a real emperor, how can he allow anyone to dominate?

Thinking of this, Fang Xuanling felt that the sky was particularly beautiful tonight, and the large clusters of white clouds really made people feel comfortable.

So many twists and turns, and my heart is happy. Finally, we crossed the front yard and came to the main hall. Turning the twelve carved moon and full flower and bird screens, Fang Xuanling saw a young man with black hair and white clothes sitting on the chairman of the main hall.

In Chang'an, where few people are white-clothed and wide-robed, young people have a pre-Qin elegance.

"Childe, Fang Xiangguo has arrived. The goatee bowed to the side.

The boy raised his head, put down the scroll in his hand, and motioned for Goatee to go out. The goatee retreated knowingly. The young man Shi Shiran stood up, stepped forward, and said to Fang Xuanling: "I have been looking up to Fang Xiang's name for a long time, and seeing it today is really a blessing for three lives." ”

"Xiao Langjun has won the award. I heard that the patriarch of the Zhang clan in Hedong was selected by talent. The selected people are all dragons and phoenixes, and when I saw Xiao Langjun's demeanor today, he really lived up to his reputation. Fang Xuanling also saluted.

Zhang Jia smiled and said, "The Zhang family's choice of patriarch is a little peculiar, but it is not as exaggerated as the outside world rumores. Come, please be seated. ”

As he spoke, he made a gesture of invitation to Fang Xuanling. Fang Xuanling saw that the distinguished seats had already been prepared, and those utensils were all Ping Suli's favorites. He was startled and raised his eyes to look at the young man.

The young man's eyes were peaceful, his face was calm, and his tone was not shocked: "Fang Mou Du Xuan, Fang Xiang and Du Shangshu have a good friendship for a while." It's admirable. ”

Fang Xuanling knew that what the young man was talking about was the scene, and this preparation only made him understand that the Zhang family was definitely not a silver-like wax gun head, and he had real skills.

"Xiao Langjun is a young hero, polite. Fang Xuanling is also polite.

Zhang Jia just laughed, and then ordered someone to serve refreshments. He boiled water to make tea himself.

"Nowadays, in Chang'an, it is popular to make tea, but it is not popular to make tea. The atmosphere was silent for a while, and Fang Xuanling broke the silence from the matter of tea.

Zhang Jia held the teacup for a moment, thinking that this style of making tea was led by Ah Zhi, he unconsciously smiled softly, and said: "The tea is more delicious, and everyone in the world likes the way of the nine girls of the Yang family." ”

"It's not just the reason it tastes better. It is said that this tea-making technique is passed on from the immortals. The nine girls of the Yang family brought this tea-making method into the mortal world. Nowadays, everyone makes tea, all of them are cultivators, and they are all elegant. Fang Xuanling also felt very wonderful when he talked about this tea.

When the young man heard this, he smiled even more and said, "Everyone in the world likes to spread falsehoods. Actually, it's just that Ah Zhi likes this taste. Those squires in Shu all came to stammer, and that's it. ”

"That nine girls are really capable. Fang Xuanling said, "She went to the court to deal with those old ministers, but she was not afraid at all." ”

"She. When Zhang Jia said this, his heart was sweet, but he couldn't help but feel a trace of bitterness. obviously likes her so much, likes to talk about her with people, and can't continue to talk about it. He had to care about her reputation, and she wasn't as close to him as they said they were.

Fang Xuanling was still waiting to listen to the following, but saw that the smile on the young man's face disappeared, his lips were tightly pursed, and his expression was very serious. Fang Xuanling wondered if there was something wrong with Fang Cai.

"Fang Xiang, we are not her relatives after all, and it is not good to talk about a woman, especially a girl who has not yet come out. Zhang Jia sat up straight and said calmly.

Fang Xuanling suddenly became excited, and then he understood that the problem was here, and quickly nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I didn't realize this either." It's old enough to make such a mistake. ”

The young man smiled and said, "It's her amazing talent, and it is inevitable that she will want to talk." It's just that we have a bad reputation for her like this. ”

"Yes, yes. Fang Xuanling nodded again and again.

Zhang Jia has changed the topic and asked Fang Xuanling to taste this treasured Ming Dynasty tea.

Fang Xuanling also took advantage of the stall of drinking tea and eating refreshments to change the topic. After that, the two naturally cut to the chase. Zhang Jia didn't beat around the bush, got up and picked up a box from the table, and said, "This is the investigation information about the treasure." Fang Xiangguo took it home and took a look, and after seeing it, it was burned. ”

Fang Xuanling looked at Zhang Jia in shock and asked, "This kind of information should be top secret." You're going to give it to me like this?"

"For the court, for the Tang Dynasty, for the common people in the world. We'll have to work together to find this treasure. Zhang Jia stood up and said very seriously, "Compared with the world, this kind of information is nothing. ”

Fang Xuanling nodded again and again, and said, "Before, I was still worried that you might not be able to surrender to Zuo Tunwei's fierce horse. This time, I think that in the near future, Zuotunwei should be controlled by General Zhang. ”

Zhang Jia chuckled and said, "The husband is auspicious, and the cooperation is pleasant." ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. Fang Xuanling said.

"It's getting late, so I won't stay in the room for dinner. When this task is completed, I will invite Fang Xiang and Du Shangshu to drink. Zhang Jia said.

Fang Xuanling heard what he said, and then looked at the young man, the young man in plain clothes and black hair looked calm in the twilight, and there was a meaningful smile on his face. It's like saying: I'm in control.

Fang Xuanling only felt that this young man seemed to be more terrifying than the eldest grandson Wuji. That's a wolf, and this one should be a tiger. Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine, and he instantly didn't know whether the decision he had made today at Keming was right or wrong.

"Appearance, please. Zhang Jia said.

Fang Xuanling came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Happy cooperation." I'll go back and have a look first, tomorrow morning, can General Zhang go to Chai Mansion with me and ask Dugu Sinan in person?"

"Naturally, it is wanted. That's what happened. Zhang Jia sent Fang Xuanling out with a smile, and said, "I, the general of the Zuotun Guard, will be officially appointed tomorrow, at least through the ministry." Fang Xiangguo still calls me Jinhua in private. ”

"Okay, Prince Jinhua. Fang Xuanling changed his words.

This time the day has slanted to the west, and the two chatted casually all the way. Zhang Jia sent Fang Xuanling out of the door and watched Fang Xuanling ride away in person. He turned around and entered the door, and ordered in a cold voice: "Zhang Li, send four good hands to protect Fang Xiangguo." ”

"Yes. The tension that had been hidden behind the wall turned out, and he immediately went to work.

Zhang Jia stood in front of the door, looking at the city wall not far away, with a complicated expression.

In his previous life, his mansion was also here. At that time, he hibernated here, commanding the Zhang clan to abide by the ancestral teachings and protect those disgusting turtle grandchildren. In the end, the elders held a meeting to get rid of Yang Azhi. He objected many times, but to no avail. The Council of Elders said that whether he agreed or not, they had to do it, otherwise they would not be able to keep the ancestral teachings and would suffer the curse of God.

Zhang Jia knew that there was no hope, so he decided to do it himself, at least Ah Zhi would not die too painfully. Moreover, if she dies, she will not live alone.

At that time, with such a ridiculous mind, he made Ah Zhi, who believed in him, be killed by him in an unsuspecting manner, and die in the place where they first met. Later, he committed suicide, but the discomfort before death made him suddenly understand: it turned out that death was so uncomfortable, and he actually did such a thing to Ah Zhi. If you do it all over again, even if you betray the whole world, even if she is not your own, you have to protect her.

Maybe God heard the prayer of his heart?

"Ah Zhi, I will protect you. Even if it is the enemy of the world. He looked at the sunset wall in the distance and whispered, "Even if you're not mine." ”

It was the last thought in his mind before he died in his previous life, and now, he was going to fulfill that promise.

In this life, the Zhang family has no ancestral training, no mission of the nine major families, no longer need to be entangled in loyalty and righteousness, and no need to protect the disgusting turtle grandson.

Without restraints, he decided to go out and come to this turbulent Chang'an City, and he would not make a small fuss. Since he decided to go out of the mountain, he would not hide it. This time, he wants to protect Ah Zhi and the people she wants to protect.

"Chang'an, I'm here. Zhang Jia looked at the magnificent blue and purple clouds in the sky, smiled coldly, and then turned around and closed the door, waiting for Fang Xuanling's movement.
