The horizon of the field turned white, and the bright sun began to shine on the earth.

Yuan Shen caught up after the ugly time last night, and he also brought back Li Yanzhi.

Li Yanzhi didn't die, he just fainted blood, and when he saw the family who was nailed to the trunk of the tree, he fainted on the spot, at that time in that chaotic situation, no one cared about him, and Zhang Xiang didn't have a chance to take him into the carriage before he took the little slave and Shu Ziying away.

When Li Yanzhi woke up, he only saw corpses and bones everywhere and Yuan Shen.

Yuan Shen found out that he was not dead, so he brought him back.

Hao Guxi, Sun Lingfeng and Chen Chang, masters who can also rank in the quasi-first-class on the rivers and lakes, died under Yuan Shen's Flying Frost Sword Technique.

Around the end of the day, Zhang Xiang asked Yuan Shen and Lin Feihong to return to the forest, burned the bones of Shi Ming Shiguang's two guards and ten family members, and buried them on the spot, which was regarded as giving them a place to be safe (shēn).

When it was almost dawn, Lin Feihong and Yuan Shen came back from the forest.

After this night, everyone's qíng (qíng) mood has almost calmed down.

"Ziying, are you afraid?"

"Big brother, Ying'er is not afraid."

"Why aren't you afraid? Didn't you see that Brother Li Run was stunned? ”

"(nǎi) (nǎi) said that Ying'er is the strongest."

"Being strong and being scared are two different things."

"Big brother, if you are strong, you will naturally not be afraid."

“……”

On the way back, Zhang Xiang finally had time to soothe the seven-year-old girl's heart.

It's just that this little girl showed more composure than he could have imagined.

On the seventh day of the third month of the eighteenth year of Yongping, at noon.

Zhang Xiang, who went to Rong County to collect grain for more than a month, returned to Pingzhou City.

When I went, there were fifteen people in the group, and when I came back, there were only three people left, but there were two more people, Shu Ziying and Lin Feihong.

Zheng Wei, the prefect of Pingzhou, led people to greet him in front of the government office.

It's just that Zhang Xiang didn't enter the mansion, he only left Li Yanzhi to report something to Zheng Wei (qíng), and then took the little slaves, Shu Ziying and Lin Feihong, back to the Horse Mansion.

Zhao Hanyan, who was waiting in front of the Horse Mansion, saw Zhang Xiang get out of the carriage, and the affection in his eyes was undisguised.

She walked up to him, gave him a wife's salute, and then shook her hand: "Horse, hard work. ”

In the past month, without Zhang Xiang's company, she has lost a lot of fun.

A complete husband and wife is a perfect home.

Without the pony, she felt as if she had returned to her former son in the princess's mansion.

The palace is a cage, the princess's mansion is a cage with an open door, and only the Pony Mansion is her real home.

Just looking at the colt, although he is smiling, it is not difficult to hide his thoughts in his eyes.

Later, she quickly noticed that there were many people missing from the convoy: "What about the horses, the guards and the family?" ”

Zhang Xiang pulled her: "Princess, let's talk about it when you enter the house!" ”

After that, Zhang Xiang also told Zhao Hanyan about Shu Ziying and Lin Feihong who they brought back and their reasons, as well as the Jianghu reunion in Rong County, and the assassination on the way back.

Now, he has begun to let go of his trust in Zhao Hanyan.

When talking about these processes, Zhao Hanyan's face also kept changing with the ups and downs of the process, and when he was angry, Zhang Xiang was a little scared, because it was silent, and his tone was as cold as when he first met him before: "These people in the rivers and lakes are really hateful, the assassination in Pingzhou last time was not enough, and this time they actually want to assassinate the horse?" Do you remember these people? Gao Ping reported to your father for you and let the government arrest you. ”

Zhang Xiang shook his head: "Those people want to kill me, it's just because of my father, this kind of thing is not to arrest people, or kill them all can be solved, this is a kind of resentment that has accumulated in the heart, the princess also knows, in the court, many people have, in the rivers and lakes, many people have, the common people, many people also have, but the court has a father, no one dares to mention it, the people are afraid of my horse's (shēn) share, dare not discuss, only the people in the rivers and lakes, (shēn) have martial arts, and are not bound by these rules, That's why they dared to assassinate me to vent their grievances. In fact, their starting point is good, on a large level, it shows that they all have a sense of national humiliation in their hearts, and only those who have a sense of national humiliation know how to unite and forge ahead, otherwise, that is terrifying. It can only be said that they misunderstood my father, which led to a misunderstanding of me, so this kind of thing cannot be solved with the power of the imperial court, it can only inspire the determination of those people to kill me, and to completely solve this kind of thing, only by dissolving the misunderstanding in people's hearts, can we keep the clouds. Princess, don't worry, although there are people in this river and lake who want to kill me, but there are also people who are willing to help me who distinguish between right and wrong, not everyone is hateful, and in the future, Ming Heng has his own solution in his heart. ”

Zhang Xiang's self-confidence can always make Zhao Hanyan's heart settle down: "General Zhang was originally my loyal minister of Southern Chu, but it was only because of unavoidable reasons that he was charged with such a crime, speaking of which, it is a hardship for the horse to let the horse bear all this......"

Zhao Hanyan's words were not finished, but she didn't want to say the rest of the words, she (shēn) is the royal princess, the imperial power is supreme, nothing (qíng) can override it, and in order to keep the court immovable (dàng) and the people not chaotic (tào), this matter of Liangzhou can only sacrifice Zhang Xiang's father in order to keep the imperial power stable.

After all, it is impossible for the court and the whole world to accuse the royal family of inaction, which is hundreds of thousands of lives.

Zhang Xiang knew what she was thinking, and comforted: "The princess doesn't have to be like this, since my father has chosen, I believe his choice is correct." ”

After she came to her senses for a while, she whispered with palpitations: "No matter what, Gao Ping is very happy that the horse can return safely." ”

Then Zhang Xiang told him that Lin Feihong sacrificed his life to save him, as well as those guards and family members who protected his feelings when he fled.

Zhao Hanyan also relieved him of the knot: "The horse is kind-hearted, Gao Ping already knew in his heart that there are people in the rivers and lakes who are willing to follow the horse, and that is also due to the horse's grace." It's just a pity that those loyal guards, family members, and horses are relieved for the time being, and Gao Ping will let the money steward give them the most generous silver, so as to ensure that their future families will have no worries for a lifetime. ”

"Princess, in fact, Ming Heng has been gone for so long, and he also misses you."

After the two couples talked for a while, Zhang Xiang looked at her, did not hide his thoughts, and said from the bottom of his heart.

"Really?" Zhao Hanyan was slightly surprised, then lowered his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "When will the horse say these nice words?" ”

"Actually, Ming Heng has a lot of things he wants to say to the princess, but there were many inconveniences between you and me in the past, so sometimes the words can't be spoken." Zhang Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "This time Rong County returns, at that time of life and death, Ming Heng is thinking about the princess, the princess is still waiting for Ming Heng to come back, if she dies like this, the princess will be unhappy!" ”

While Zhang Xiang said this, Zhao Hanyan's hand holding him also tightened, and his heart (qíng) rose and fell with him.

Zhang Xiang was relieved: "Maybe people always have to go through something to know how to do it!" Come (rì) Fang Chang, I will say these words to the princess one by one in the future. ”

"Can't you say that now?" Zhao Hanyan had curiosity in his eyes.

Zhang Xiang shook his head and shrugged: "Now I don't know how to start, wait until I straighten it out!" ”

"The horse will deceive people, and Gao Ping has been looking forward to it for a while." Zhao Hanyan looked at him with an angry smile.

Then she suddenly remembered something, and pulled Zhang Xiang and said, "By the way, the horse, Gao Ping has something to give to the horse." ”

"What's that?"

was dragged all the way to the west room by her, and Zhang Xiang felt strange in his heart.

"You'll know when you see it." Zhao Hanyan is mysterious, and he can't tell it.

Zhang Xiang had no choice but to let her pull.

After entering the west room, Zhao Hanyan opened the wardrobe and took out a square box from it.

Opening the box, she took out a neatly folded robe from inside.

"Look, donkey." Zhao Hanyan spread out his clothes.

Zhang Xiang was also secretly surprised when he saw it, this gorgeous dress was extremely delicately embroidered, the pattern was exquisite, and it took a lot of effort at first glance.

He was unusually surprised: "This gorgeous dress is what the princess wants to give me?" ”

Zhao Hanyan walked up to him (shēn), took off the long shirt from his (shēn), and then put on his gorgeous clothes: "Isn't it okay for Gao Ping to embroider a dress for his husband?" ”

"This is the princess's own hand-embroidery?" Zhang Xiang was even more surprised.

After wearing it, Zhao Hanyan looked around, and nodded with satisfaction: "Naturally it is embroidered by Gao Ping himself, earlier Gao Ping had asked the wife of the Pingzhou Festival Envoy Fan and the prefect's wife to ask for embroidery, Gao Ping also learned for a long time to get started, this costume is Gao Ping with our own cloth village silk according to the size of the horse, but because Gao Ping is clumsy, embroidered for a long time to embroider half a month ago. ”

Is this manual still stupid?

Zhang Xiang was a little speechless, is Zhao Hanyan's definition of stupid a little too high, even if he learns to become an ordinary embroiderer, I am afraid it will be impossible for two years.

And as far as Zhang Xiang knows, Zhao Hanyan has only been studying for a few months!

He knew that Zhao Hanyan was learning embroidery, probably after the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, and she often went to the homes of several adults in Pingzhou to learn these things from their wives.

At first, Zhang Xiang thought she was too boring, so she wanted to learn these things.

This also reminded Zhang Xiang of the day of the Yuan Xi Festival, when he saw Zhao Hanyan and the little slave entering the embroidery shop in Yuexiu Tower.

It turned out that at that time, Zhao Hanyan had already made this gorgeous dress for him early.

Zhang Xiang spread out his hands and turned around, wearing this gorgeous dress, he instantly looked a lot more noble, and said to Zhao Hanyan: "This is the first time the princess has given Ming Heng a gift, Ming Heng likes it very much, and he will cherish this dress in the future." ”

"If you like it, it's fine." Zhao Hanyan said softly: "This dress is embroidered to be worn, if the horse is worn out, Gao Ping will embroider it again." ”

After the two couples talked for a while, a maid came to ask Zhao Hanyan to deal with things (qíng).

Zhang Xiang also returned to the East Room.

When walking through the corridor, Zhang Xiang saw the little slave coming over with a basin of water.

Xiao Nu's eyes lit up visibly when he saw the gorgeous clothes that Zhang Xiang wore on (shēn).

She said hello to Zhang Xiang and was about to leave, but Zhang Xiang stopped her: "Little slave, what are you doing here?" ”

"Colt." Xiao Nu Hui (shēn): "Sister Ziying has just moved into the slave's house, and the slave has vacated a room and fetched some water to clean it. ”

"There are no extra rooms in the house?" Zhang Xiang frowned and asked.

The little slave shook his head: "Don Ma, Sister Ziying has just come to the house, no one knows anyone, and many things (qíng) are not understood, the slave is afraid that she is not used to it, and she will be scolded by the maids for doing something wrong, so the slave and maid will temporarily let her live with the slave maid first, and the slave and maid can also teach her some etiquette, and when she is familiar, she will be assigned a room of her own." ”

"The little girl is thoughtful." Zhang Xiang walked up to her and stared at her.

The little slave originally looked at her, saw his eyes, and then quickly lowered his head, and whispered in a little panic: "Why is the concubine looking at the slave?" Is there something wrong with the slave? ”

"You've done a lot of wrong things (qíng), I'm going to think about how to punish you." Zhang Xiang is serious.

"Huh?" The slave was taken aback, and then even more panicked.

Zhang Xiang said: "Let me ask you, you already knew that the princess embroidered clothes for me, right?" ”

"Slave... Slave..."The little girl panicked all of a sudden, and didn't know how to answer.

Zhang Xiang answered: "You're not good at lying, so don't think about how to make excuses." ”

The little slave was about to cry and nodded: "The slave and the maid did know for a long time, at the beginning, the princess said to the slave and the maid, the princess said that after being married for so long, the concubine gave the princess many gifts, and the princess also wanted to give a gift to the concubine, but she didn't know what to give, so she thought that she wanted to give the concubine a gorgeous dress." ”

"Since you know, why didn't you tell me earlier, so that I can be mentally prepared!" Zhang Xiang pretended to be angry.

The little slave hurriedly shook his head: "The concubine, it's not about the slave and the maid, the princess said, let the slave and the maid not tell the concubine, otherwise, the princess will not spare the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid actually want to tell the concubine, but... But... Slave, don't dare! ”

"Then aren't you afraid that I will punish you?" Zhang Xiang looked at her with blazing eyes, his habit of teasing this little girl could not be broken.

"Horses, slaves... The little slave looked at him with grievances in his eyes.

Zhang Xiang laughed 'poof': "Okay, tease you, go busy with you!" ”

"Yes." Seeing the pony leaving happily, the little slave puffed out his cheeks, blew the hair on his forehead, and his big eyes purred, as if he was very unhappy.

In the evening, Zhang Xiang came to the guard courtyard in the mansion.

This is the small courtyard where the guards of the Pony Mansion live.

When he came to the courtyard gate, he heard a burst of cheers coming from inside.

When he entered, a cadre of guards who had been gathered in the middle of the courtyard quickly stood in two rows and greeted him.

In the crowd, Lin Feihong, who was holding a red tassel gun, also bowed his hand to him.

He arranged Lin Feihong into the guards, and served as an instructor for the guards of the Horse Mansion, teaching the martial arts of these guards.

He was worried that Lin Feihong, a silent and withdrawn (xìng) son, would not be able to integrate into the guards, and these guards were either veterans who had retired from the battlefield or were screened out from the palace guards, and their eyes were above the top, for fear that they would not wait to see Lin Feihong, so he came to take a look.

It's just that this time, it was a little unexpected to him, it turned out that Lin Feihong was showing martial arts to these guards, and his profound marksmanship quickly convinced these guards......
