At the door of Zhang Shumo's temporary mansion, a child wanted to enter but was stopped by the guards. The child hurriedly expressed his intention: "I am here to find my master!" ”

The guard looked at the child in surprise: "What is your master's name, I'll see if there is such a person in the house." ”

"My master is Zhang Shumo!"

When the guard heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then began to bombard the child in front of him: "Let's go!" You kid really dare to say, if Zhang Gongzi is your master, then General Zhang Yan is still my brother! ”

After speaking, the guard joked with the people around him again: "This kid really dares to say anything, right?" But as soon as he finished speaking, the guards were stunned, and the person in front of him was Zhang Yan who came out of the mansion.

Zhang Yan patted the guard on the shoulder: "Big brother, this is a good word, we are all brothers in the army!" After speaking, Zhang Yan looked at the child: "You said that Zhang Shumo is your master, but is there anything to prove it?" ”

The child thought about it and suddenly took out a dagger, and the frightened guard grasped the halberd tightly, who knew that the child handed the dagger to Zhang Yan: "As long as you hand the dagger to my master, he will know." ”

Zhang Yan nodded: "Then you just wait outside, if you don't lie, your master will let someone pick you up." ”

Soon, Zhang Yan came to Zhang Shumo's room, and when he saw Zhang Yan turn back, Zhang Shumo couldn't help but ask, "What, is there anything else about General Zhang?" ”

Zhang Yan took out the dagger and handed it to Zhang Shumo: "There is a child outside, who said that he was your disciple." ”

Zhang Shumo saw the dagger and smiled: "Brother Hu, Huzi is here, you go and pick him up!" ”

Then, under the surprised gaze of the soldiers, Huzi entered the mansion. As soon as he saw Zhang Shumo, Wang Hu was a little frightened, and he stood far away and didn't dare to step forward.

"What, you're scared? This is not like the Wang Hu I know! In the days when I am away, have you studied hard? Zhang Shumo took the initiative to say.

Hearing Zhang Shumo's words, Wang Hu's heart was put into his stomach: "You are gone, who is still studying." But I haven't forgotten the boxing techniques taught by my mother. By the way, when will you and your sister go back to the street to see, my father and mother still keep mentioning you. ”

At first, when he heard the news of Zhang Shumo, Wang Hu thought it was the same name and surname. But the description of the rumors was completely consistent with Zhang Shumo's situation, and then Wang Hu knew that the person who had taught him to read had now become the city lord of Xu Liangcheng! So Wang Hu proudly showed off to other friends, but was ridiculed by them again, Wang Hu had to see Zhang Shumo to prove that he was not lying.

Seeing Wang Hu's appearance, the fatigue on Zhang Shumo's face dissipated a lot, and he joked instead: "Okay, I actually threw it all over to you, and I really deserve to be punished!" I'll punish you for coming to me every day from now on to study!" ”

Wang Hu nodded happily when he heard this, and in the future, he would go in and out of Zhang Shumo's mansion every day to see who dared to say that he was bragging!

At the same time, one person and one horse came to the county office of Xu Liangcheng. This person is Liang Qi who came to explore Zhang Shumo's style! He looked at the familiar yamen, dismounted and walked over.

"Stop! This is the county government, and irrelevant people can't enter! The two guards stopped Liang Qi directly.

Liang Qi put his hands behind his back, looked at the two guards and said, "Of course I know that this is the county government, otherwise I wouldn't have come!" I am Liang Qi, who is engaged in the side of Su Yi, the general of the Western Route Army, and I went to find your steward to come out to see me! ”

Two soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, both of them were authentic farmers before they joined the army, and they didn't know what kind of official they were "engaged in", but when they heard the name of the general of the Western Route Army, they immediately knew that the other party was not small, so they hurriedly said to Liang Qi: "Wait a minute, my lord, I will call the steward to come over." ”

For these soldiers, Liang Qi is 10,000 people who can't look down on them. In addition to the original 2,000 township soldiers, most of the rest of Zhang Shumo's soldiers were hooligans who had been temporarily assembled, and they lacked training, which made Liang Qi feel that it was not formal at all.

After a while, Niu Ci hurriedly walked over, due to the shortage of personnel, Niu Ci is now a small scholar next to Niu Zheng. When Niu Ci saw Liang Qi, he hurriedly saluted: "Under Niu Ci, now he is the secretary of the county government, I don't know the name of Mr.?" ”

Liang Qi looked at Niu Ci twice, and saw that he was neatly dressed and spoke decently, so he was slightly satisfied: "I am Liang Qi under the general of the Western Route Army, and I came to see Zhang Shumo this time!" ”

Niu Ci frowned after hearing this, and he didn't know what the people from the Western Route Army were doing now, but he naturally didn't dare to take Liang Qi directly to see Zhang Shumo, so he had to say respectfully: "In this case, please follow me to the county government first, and our county commander will take Mr. to see Zhang Gongzi!" ”

In the county office, Niu Zheng is worried about the resettlement of displaced people. After the city of Thanh Hoa was breached, many people fled to Xuliang, and most of these people were relatively poor and could not afford to buy a family business, so they became homeless people in the city. The resettlement of displaced people is not a big deal, but it cannot stand the large number of people, and if it is not properly handled, it is likely to cause riots.

When Niu Zheng had a headache, Niu Ci walked in with Liang Qi.

"Lord Niu, this is Lord Liang Qi of the Western Route Army, and he wants to see Zhang Gongzi."

Niu Zheng put down the matter in his hand and looked at Liang Qi: "I don't know what this adult is talking about when he sees Zhang Gongzi?" ”

Liang Qi arched his hand to Niu Zheng: "Lord Niu, right?" What I want to tell Zhang Shumo about the secrets of the West Route Army is probably inconvenient to disclose to Lord Niu. ”

Niu Zheng was very dissatisfied with Liang Qi's name of Zhang Shumo, and said something rebellious, now it is a troubled time, Zhang Shumo took his own group of people to get into trouble, how can he be regarded as a hero, this person in front of him has no respect for Zhang Shumo, and it will not be a good thing to come to the West Route Army to say, maybe they want Zhang Gongzi to hand over Xu Liangcheng.

So Niu Zheng replied angrily: "Zhang Gongzi is unwell, and he can't see guests now." If it's inconvenient to say something to an adult, please go back. ”

"You!" Liang Qi didn't expect that the people from a small county town would be so arrogant, but he also knew the truth that the strong dragon did not suppress the head snake, so he did not continue to attack, and stood in place and thought about it.

In Liang Qi's mind, Zhang Shumo was just a councillor in the General's Mansion, and when he went to Qinghua City with Zhang Shumo to maintain stability, Zhang Shumo had to ask him for instructions on something, so Liang Qi didn't pay too much attention to Zhang Shumo.

Now that Liang Qi has eaten the closed door, he suddenly remembered his brother Liang Jia's words, "Zhang Shumo is no longer the previous Zhang Shumo", it seems that Zhang Shumo has really changed! A small Yi Cao suddenly got his will, naturally he would be a little arrogant and arrogant, no wonder he had no intention of inviting the Su family back after defeating Xu Liang! It seems that there is no need to inquire about Zhang Shumo's thoughts.

Thinking of this, Liang Qi was a little angry, he looked at Niu Zheng, and always felt that Niu Zheng had a villainous expression on his face, so he said to Niu Zheng: "Since this is the case, then I won't see Zhang Shumo, but if you give him a word, just say what I Liang Qi said, this person should be kind!" ”
