A few days later, the public security city.

The public security is backed by the river, and there are water villages and cities.

Thirty miles outside the city, there are camps that stretch for more than ten miles.

At this time, inside the camp.

A subordinate general came quickly and said urgently: "Lord, Cai Mao's army has withdrawn, leaving only 10,000 people stationed in the public security, do you want to lead people to chase and kill?" ”

"Hehe, no." Zhang Xian smiled and said: "Zhang Xiu is now besieging Xiangyang, Cai Mao must be called back for help, wouldn't it be wonderful to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight like this?" ”

On one side, his military advisor chuckled and said, "Does the lord want to annex the two of them in one fell swoop and occupy Jingzhou when Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao are inseparable?" ”

"Naturally, the high walls of Xiangyang City are thick, and it is impossible for Zhang Xiu to capture it in a short time. You can let them attack first, our army is slowly plotting, and when I get Jiangling, it is not too late to send troops to destroy them! ”

Zhang Xian's five fingers were slightly clenched, and his expression was gloomy.

"The lord is wise, that embroidery is really smart, confused for a while, and it is far from the lord." The scribe chuckled and complimented.

Zhang Xian's words of compliment were quite useful, he smiled heartily, and immediately said: "However, Zhang Xiu is treacherous, and his voice is attacking Jiangxia in the east and west, and he must be guarded against." ”

"Go and give an order, send three times the scouts of the past to hide near Xiangyang, and report as soon as there is news."

Zhang Xian was also worried, because if Xiangyang was lost, it would be useless even if he took Jiangling, he had to grasp the time so that he could win the battle.

"No! The subordinates will arrange it! ”

Looking at the departing figure of the scribe, the corners of Zhang Xian's mouth hooked a sneer, his five fingers were slowly clenched, the corners of his eyes burst with murderous intent, and he said: "Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu, I didn't expect you to be used by me one day." ”

......

Cannan, Huang family.

The local famous family is not underestimated in the seven counties of Jingxiang. In later generations, Liu Bei, who fell to the Huang family and the Ma family, also greatly increased Liu Bei's strength.

In the courtyard of the Huang family,

Huang Rong (character Chengyan) is repairing the branches.

At this time, the housekeeper walked quickly and said in a deep voice: "The master of the house, Nanyang Zhang Xiu came to visit with a gift, saying that there is something important to discuss. ”

Hearing this, Huang Chengyan only raised his eyebrows slightly, and he was not surprised, as if muttering to himself: "Are you still here?" ”

As he spoke, he put the iron tool aside and said in a deep voice, "Invite him to wait in the side hall, I'll be there later." ”

"No!" The butler bowed his head and bowed.

Less, partial hall.

Zhang embroidered incense, behind him stood Hu Che'er, at this time a man in the distance came over, only to see him dressed in brocade, straight body, looking capable.

"Zhang Xiu has seen the head of the Huang family."

Although Zhang Xiu doesn't know it, this person's demeanor is extraordinary, and there is no doubt that it must be Huang Chengyan.

"The general is polite, the cold house is shabby, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope you will forgive me." Huang Chengyan also looked Zhang Xiu up and down, and hugged his fists.

After speaking, the two stretched out their hands to each other to sit down.

Huang Chengyan raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "If my expectations are correct, the general should be attacking Xiangyang, right?" Why do you go to the Humble House? ”

Zhang Xiu took a sip of tea, he didn't believe that Huang Chengyan didn't know the purpose of his coming, so he didn't point it out, and chuckled: "Military trivial matters, someone will handle them." ”

"And the head of the Huang family is a famous local family, so he naturally needs to pay a visit to him or two, and ask for a cup of tea by the way."

"Hehe, my Huang family's tea is sweet, if the general likes it, Rong will send someone to put some on the general now." Huang Chengyan didn't want to get involved in the dispute in Jingzhou, so he chased away the guest.

Zhang Xiu couldn't hear the meaning of Huang Chengyan's words.

However, he pretended to be puzzled, smiled slyly, got up and hugged his fists, and said solemnly: "Father-in-law, I don't hide it, I am here to propose marriage on this trip." ”

Huang Chengyan: "??? ”

Father-in-law? Who is your father-in-law, why is this guy so thick-skinned?

Zhang Xiu didn't feel it at all, her face was not red, and she said solemnly: "Embroidery is not the age of a weak crown, but there is no family yet." I heard that my father-in-law has a daughter who is very wise, but he has never married in two years, and he is willing to marry him. ”

Hearing this, Huang Chengyan was stunned at first, and then laughed. The eyebrows looked lightly, and the eyes flowed with a gentle smile.

At this time, he looked at Zhang Xiu's expression, and it was completely a pair, well, this guy has a very good expression. He's so happy, there's no way, his daughter is notoriously difficult to marry.

"Ahem, does the general really intend to marry a little girl?"

"I hope my father-in-law will be perfect," Zhang Xiu said solemnly.

When the words came to his mouth, Huang Chengyan hesitated again, pinched his chin and pondered, he knew that Zhang Xiu was not sincere in marrying his daughter, if he rashly married him, it would be tantamount to pushing him into the fire pit.

He had to find someone who didn't dislike his daughter.

Thinking of this, Huang Chengyan looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "The general's plan is clear in his heart, but the little girl has a special appearance, and I hope the general will see him, if the general does not give up, then my Huang family should help me." ”

After speaking, Huang Chengyan turned his head and shouted, "Come on, go and invite Yueying to come over." ”

Seeing this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but get nervous.

There are not many records of Huang Yueying in history, but the wild history records that her appearance is not good, yellow hair and blue eyes, or Huang Chengyan took the initiative to marry Zhuge Liang.

As for what it looks like, he doesn't know.

Because of Huang Yueying, the two of them became less talkative, they both bowed their heads to taste tea, and talked from time to time.

Less, at the foyer.

The butler went and returned, "The young lady has arrived." ”

After speaking, the housekeeper stepped back sideways, and a woman jumped in front of him. I saw that the woman was wearing 3,000 blonde hair on her shoulders, a pair of beautiful eyes of different colors, a slender figure, and her whole body was full of bookish smell.

I'm rubbing, exotic beauty.

Huang Yueying smiled gently at Zhang Xiu, and then looked at Huang Chengyan, her beautiful eyes were lightly raised, and she said softly and gently: "Father, what are you calling your daughter?" ”

Huang Chengyan didn't answer, but looked at Zhang Xiu, and said with a little expectation: "General Zhang, although the little girl is not good-looking, she is knowledgeable, I don't know if the general can accept it?" ”

Zhang Xiu: "??? ”

Ya, this is called unsightly? This proper blonde and blue-eyed beauty with long legs Okay, if this kind of appearance is not good-looking, how many people can raise it?

But then, Zhang Xiu looked at Huang Chengyan, isn't this guy green? Otherwise, how could a half-breed child be born?

Seeing Zhang Xiu looking at him with strange eyes, Huang Chengyan also sighed, this is not the first time he has not fallen in love with his daughter, he is used to it.

I'm afraid that the whole Han Dynasty, Huang Yueying, is blonde and blue-eyed, although she is still good-looking, but she is not tolerated by the world, and it is difficult for someone who is not open-minded to marry.

"Whew," Huang Chengyan shook his head, just about to speak.

"Father-in-law, I don't know when I can marry Ling Ai?" Zhang Xiu didn't think as much as Huang Chengyan thought, since Huang Yueying is not ugly, it doesn't hurt to marry herself.

First, it can be regarded as winning over the Huang family and stabilizing all ethnic groups in Jingxiang. Second, marrying a beautiful wife and virtuous internal helper is really killing two birds with one stone, and you can also enjoy the life of Zhuge Villager.

Huang Yueying's jewel-like beautiful eyes showed surprise, and the whole person was not good, "Yue, father-in-law?" ”

If he remembers correctly, his father is only his daughter, right? Doesn't that mean..., the key is that this person is not surprised to see him?

Huang Chengyan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said with joy: "Really? ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and chuckled, Huang Chengyan smiled, finally found a good son-in-law, as the saying goes, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, he can't wait for the two to get married today.

But after thinking about it, Huang Chengyan said solemnly: "General Zhang, according to the ancient etiquette, if you want to marry a little girl, you should wait for half a year." However, during this period, my Huang family will be able to help. ”

"As for whether the general can capture Jingzhou, it depends on the general's own creation." Huang Chengyan said very clearly, that is, if Zhang Xiu can capture Jingzhou within half a year, he will be accepted as an in-law.

If you can't marry within half a year, then let's talk about it.

In this way, it can be regarded as a kind of protection for the Huang family.

Zhang Xiu got up, the corners of his mouth hooked a confident arc, said goodbye loudly, after speaking, Zhang Xiu looked at Huang Yueying twice, laughed and left.
