Soon, Zhang Shumo, Lou Zaiying and Lou Guang were taken to Zhang's mansion, and Zhang Yu gave the three of them a warm welcome. For Zhang Yu's enthusiasm, Zhang Shumo was very careful, and always felt that he was plotting something behind him.

On the second day after Zhang Shumo moved to Zhang's house, Zhang Lu called Zhang Shumo's family and Zhang Yu into the palace, saying that they wanted to have a family banquet.

The lunch on the table was very sumptuous, and the dazzling array of dishes dazzled Lou Zaiying, but Lou Guang was like Zhang Shumo and Zhang Yu, with no expression on his face.

Zhang Lu smiled and raised his chopsticks: "It's all a family, you don't have to be formal, let's move the chopsticks." ”

Zhang Yu immediately pointed to a plate of fish and said to Zhang Shumo and the others: "Brother, brother and sister, the northwest water system is underdeveloped and there are few fish, you can taste the fish here." ”

Zhang Shumo nodded, first sandwiched a piece for Lou Zaiying, and then sandwiched it for Lou Guang.

Zhang Yu looked at Lou Guang with ulterior motives, he had already gotten the news that Zhang Shumo's brother-in-law was stimulated when Lou's family was slaughtered, so he was a little stupid now. And Lou Guang is Lou Zaiying's only relative, so Lou Guang is now Zhang Shumo's biggest weakness.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu deliberately said to Lou Guang: "Brother Lou Guang, I heard that you are very interested in swords, and it just so happened that someone gave me a good sword a few days ago, and I will have someone send it to you another day." ”

Lou Guang stood up happily when he heard this: "Okay, but I don't have anything to give you!" ”

"It's all a family, so why do you need to return the gift."

Zhang Lu looked at this scene, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if he was an ordinary family, it would be a good choice to live his life in harmony like this, unlike now, where harmony is all pretended.

"Rui'er, I left you alone in the northwest for the past two years, and I have made you suffer!" Zhang Lu provoked the topic.

Zhang Shumo hurriedly replied: "How can it be alone, isn't there Zaiying accompanying the child?" The child also has to thank his father for finding a good family for the child. ”

Zhang Lu smiled slightly and looked at Zaiying: "Zaiying, I can't recognize you when I saw you before, don't you blame your father?" ”

"No blame, no blame!" Lou Zaiying hurriedly stood up and kept shaking her hands.

"Dad didn't go when you got married, so Dad specially prepared a gift and asked someone to send it to your house later."

When Lou Zaiying heard this, she was about to kneel down immediately, but Zhang Shumo hurriedly stopped her.

"What are you going to do?"

"Shane, isn't that what the drama says? The emperor's reward is to kneel down and thank you. Lou Zaiying replied in a low voice.

Although Lou Zaiying's voice was very small, the people present still heard it. Zhang Yuqiang's face turned red with laughter, but Zhang Lu laughed directly.

Zhang Shumo pressed Lou Zaiying to the chair mountain: "That's an outsider, we are a family, it's different!" ”

Zhang Lu nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, we are a family, and we don't have to be rigid about red tape." ”

Zhang Yu looked at it and immediately said: "That's right, brother and sister, since my father gave you a gift, I, as a big brother, naturally can't be left behind." I heard that my younger siblings practiced martial arts freely, and they also served as county lieutenants, and they were indeed heroes among women, so I prepared a big Wanliang horse in the hope that my younger siblings could like it. ”

Lou Zaiying nodded heavily: "Thank you, big brother!" ”

Zhang Lu couldn't help but shake his head when he looked at this harmonious scene, revealing a trace of melancholy.

Everyone immediately noticed Zhang Lu's abnormality. Zhang Yu hurriedly asked, "Father, what's wrong with you?" Why are you so happy today, why are you ......?"

Zhang Lu raised his hand and interrupted Zhang Yu's words. Then he said to Zhang Yu and Zhang Shumo: "Today is our family dinner, and at the same time, I, the father, also have an important thing to announce. The reason why Dad is sad is because Dad feels sorry for you! ”

The two of them were a little surprised when they heard it, what did Zhang Lu's words mean? What exactly is he going to announce? Why do you feel sorry for yourself?

Zhang Lu took a deep breath, and then said, "Now you must also understand the form of our country. Zheng Guo in the south is really fierce, and Yan Guo in the east is also eyeing it. I sent someone to Yan to ask for peace early, and now Yan has a reply! ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Lu paused, and then looked at Zhang Shumo with a guilty face: "Yan Guo replied that as long as I send my son to Yan Guo, they will promise righteousness!" The reason why I am announcing this matter today is to ask, which of you would like to be in the country of Yan? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately fell silent, leaving only the sound of Lou Guang's chopsticks and bowls colliding.

Zhang Shumo felt a pain in his heart after hearing this, it turned out that his father suddenly recognized him, so that he could go to Yan Country as a hostage instead of Zhang Yu, and today's question was just to let him take the initiative.

Zhang Yu was also surprised, but then he was overjoyed. At this time, his father recognized Zhang Shumo, obviously to send him to Yan Kingdom. It seems that he is too worried, and in his father's heart, he is the successor!

Zhang Lu still looked at Zhang Shumo, thinking silently in his heart: If you are willing to take the initiative to save thousands of Yan countries, I will save you one day, and from now on you will be the prince of Huaiguo!

Zhang Shumo understood that Zhang Lu had already made a choice, even if he was silent, he would still be the one who went to Yan Kingdom, and what family he said was just an excuse for himself to be a hostage!

Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo stood up, and a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Since my father and eldest brother have said that we are a family, then I naturally can't let my eldest brother go." Thinking about it, Yan Guo knew that his father only had one son left, the eldest brother, so he put forward such a condition. Now that I suddenly appeared, not only will I not be able to succeed in Yan Guo's treacherous scheme, but I will also be able to gag the mouths of Yan Guo's people and make them withdraw their troops, which is really a double win! ”

Hearing Zhang Shumo's words, Zhang Lu's eyes became rosy, and Zhang Shumo's statement was exactly the same as Xue Liang's statement. Yan Guo just wanted to use his only son as a hostage, so as to contain Huaiguo in the future. As long as he recognized Zhang Shumo, Yan Guo's plan would be solved, but in this way, he would once again hurt Zhang Shumo's heart!

"Rui'er, Dad is sorry for you!" Zhang Lu turned his head sideways after speaking, not wanting tears to slip out.

"Gross!"

There was a sudden sound of vomiting above the hall, and Lou Zaiying immediately covered her mouth and ran out.

Zhang Shumo was stunned and hurriedly chased out. Zhang Lu frowned, and immediately asked the eunuch to ask the eunuch to ask for a doctor.

After a while, Zhang Shumo and Lou Zaiying returned, and Lou Zaiying hurriedly explained to Zhang Lu: "It may be that I ate too hard and my stomach is a little uncomfortable." ”

"It's okay, I've already ordered someone to call in a doctor."

Lou Zaiying hurriedly said again: "Can I go to Yan Country with Shumo?" I'm his wife, and it's only right to go with him! After speaking, Lou Zaiying held Zhang Shumo's hand.

Zhang Shumo smiled at her, and then said to Zhang Lu: "Since I am going, can the people who go with me let the children decide?" ”

Zhang Lu nodded: "Huaiguo, you can choose!" ”
