After three or four hours of secret talks, Wang Teng when he left the music workshop did not close his eyes all night, but he felt energetic, and it was the kind he had never had. For this change in his own general, several henchmen who followed him all night and did not close their eyes were all wearing big panda eyes, and after leaving the music square, they drooped their heads and went home to rest.

And Wang Teng, did not leave Pingkanglifang directly, after saying goodbye to his henchmen, he turned back to the music shop last night, and after a short time of secret talk with the proprietress again, the radiant Wang Teng left Pingkanglifang, happily inspected the guards near the imperial city, and rode back to Anxingfang's own mansion to make up for sleep.

In Wang Teng's mansion, his wife Huang had already fallen out, because a henchman of the Huang family told him that Wang Teng had spent the night in a music shop in Pingkang Li Fang last night, and he did not leave until the end of this morning. When Wang Teng returned to the mansion, it was already past noon, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw a scene that made Wang Teng angry.

The male and female servants of the entire mansion all knelt at the foot of the steps of the main hall, even the dozens of guards in the mansion, and his wife Huang was supported by two personal maids, standing on the steps with an angry face, and her eyes did not know whether it was because of the sleepless night or the reason for extreme anger that kept spewing anger out.

However, Wang Teng didn't have much reaction to this, presumably he was already used to the scene in front of him, and after being stunned for a while, he walked straight to the backyard, as if he didn't see the scene in front of him at all. However, unlike usual, this time Wang Teng held his head high and was full of confidence, and under the murderous gaze of his wife Huang, his pace was steady and unaffected.

In this regard, Huang was also very surprised, and even wondered if the news that her henchmen had given her was fake, in her impression, as long as her man did something wrong, he had always dared not make a sound after seeing him, and there was no situation in front of him at all.

It wasn't until Wang Teng's figure completely disappeared that Huang reacted under the nudge of the maid beside him, blinked, looked at the maid beside him suspiciously, and glared fiercely at the henchman who delivered the news to him, frowned slightly, flicked his sleeves fiercely, turned to leave, and quickly walked towards the backyard with the support of the maid, wanting to find out.

When Huang also doubted whether he was wrong to blame his husband, Wang Teng did not hesitate to admit that he did spend last night in Pingkang Lifang, and he had a very tough attitude, although Huang was even more angry, but he didn't know what to do in the face of a situation that had never appeared.

In this regard, Wang Teng did not have any posture of chasing after him to explain or admit his mistake, but just glared at the two maids viciously, and after driving the two away, he locked the door behind him, fell asleep directly, and dreamed of his own sweet dreams.

In the afternoon of the same day, at the end of Shen Shimo, Zi Yao, a famous artist in Pingkang Li Fang, was taken away by two mysterious people, and the proprietress received 2,500 taels of gold and a big red envelope to seal her mouth. Naturally, there was also her personal maid who left with Zi Yao, and at the same time, that night, the two lived in a compound in Xinchangfang, near Yanxing Gate, the south gate of the eastern city wall of Chang'an City.

As for this compound, it was Lin Feng who paid for it, and in the agreement with Wang Teng, Lin Feng was responsible for redeeming Zi Yao and ensuring his personal safety, and the reason why Wang Teng did this was also to temporarily leave Zi Yao in Lin Feng's hands as a hostage in exchange for the benefits and trust needed by both parties, and the trust that Lin Feng paid was the high ransom, however, before the cooperation between the two sides ended, Wang Teng still needed to be patient for a while, because during this time, according to the negotiation between the two parties, Wang Teng could not meet Zi Yao.

That night, after checking the defense, Wang Teng couldn't wait to go to Pingkang Li Fang again, and when he found the proprietress to confirm that things went smoothly as planned, the excited Wang Teng stayed in the room that originally belonged to Ziyao again under the hospitality of the proprietress, drinking alone, reminiscing about the past, and looking forward to a better future.

The next day, there were two major events in Chang'an City, Zi Yao, an artist with a certain reputation in Pingkangli Fang, was redeemed by a mysterious person at a sky-high price of 2,500 taels of gold before redeeming herself. In this regard, everyone is not good at conjecture, after all, the boss of Le Fang is mainly to make money, as long as he is willing to bid, the boss will not ask the identity of the buyer.

On the other hand, the dangerous Tongguan was suddenly attacked, and almost without any resistance, the whole line was defeated, and then, the entire Tongguan was replaced with the banner of **.

Not only that, but these two things have several things in common, first, the masterminds behind the scenes were all done by the Feng family army, who broke through the Meridian Valley and infiltrated Chang'an. Second, these two things made Zhang Li, who stayed in Chang'an, extremely angry. Third, Wang Teng, who stayed in Pingkangli Fang all day to drink and recreation, was saddened by the disappearance of his lover for no reason on the surface, but in fact he was secretly having fun in his heart.

Zi Yao's sudden disappearance made Zhang Li, who had been holding on to his opponent for a long time, very angry, but he couldn't launch a city-wide search because of an artist. Zhang Li has been paying attention to the affairs of Zi Yao and Wang Teng for a long time, and he has also put a lot of effort into this matter, wanting to use the power in his hand to stumble on his rival Wang Teng, but he didn't expect to fall short suddenly, but he could only complain secretly.

The blow of the loss of Tongguan is simply too big for Zhang Li who stayed in Chang'an, because in this way, Meng Kai's troops who confronted Zhu Wen outside Tongguan will completely lose the aid of the rear, and the only way back is Henan Road or Hedong Road, and several sections of Hedong Road are now ready to move after witnessing the victory of the first counterattack, and now Meng Kai is almost a lone army, and he also has to face the fierce rival Zhu Wen, or a Zhu Wen with the Tang Dynasty as a backer.

Zhang Li, who received the battle report, immediately ordered to regroup his forces to recapture Tongguan, and while integrating the defeated troops of Tongguan, he also recruited soldiers and horses from several surrounding areas, and also transferred 5,000 soldiers from Chang'an City, with a total of nearly 30,000 people, and launched a war to seize Tongguan.

Nearly ten days of counteroffensive, not only did not recapture an inch of Tongguan, but also was blocked from the Meridian Pass, heavy losses, less than 20,000 defeated troops returned to Chang'an City again, so far, Tongguan was completely abandoned.

A few days later, the Benlei Pioneer Regiment and the Meridian Army that had withdrawn from the Meridian Pass all entered Tongguan and stationed, and the Meridian Pass was also taken over by the 100-man team of the thirty Fengjia Army that had passed through the Meridian Valley one after another.
