Although there are omissions, but in general, Yang Keshi and Gao Yuan agree with the arrangement of southern Zhou, with Zhuozhou as the center, Yanjing in the north, Gu'an in the east, and Yizhou and Sanssouci in the southwest, Xincheng and Guiyi two horns, relying on the city wall for defense, and there are cavalry troops in each city to attack, and Zhuozhou, Yizhou, and Xincheng Guiyi form an iron triangle of defense. Even if the Song army came to attack, it was enough to resist.

Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi respectively sent people to Zhuozhou, Xincheng and other places to give orders to transfer troops.

After arranging these, Zhou Nan was in a hurry to lead troops to Juyong Pass with Yang Keshi and Gao Yuan, and that high school sixth has now become a thorn in Zhou Nan's heart, and if he doesn't clean it up, it will always be a big trouble.

Yang Keshi frowned and said, "What's the hurry? You don't need a single soldier to get rid of this problem. ”

Zhou Nan didn't believe Yang Keshi's appearance when he saw it, but Gao Yuan hurriedly asked, "What's the way?" Let's hear about it. ”

Yang Keshi said with a smile: "Naturally, I will marry the princess back, and the young couple will make a decision, and he will not be able to come back obediently." Hahaha! ”

Zhou Nan glanced at Yang Keshi with disdain, Gao Yuan was not interested in such a method, only Yang Keshi couldn't stop laughing at his thoughts.

Suddenly, Zuo Xiaosi flew in and said to Zhou Nan: "Lord Zhang is dying, please come over!" ”

Zhou Nan was taken aback, and hurriedly got up and came out, Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi also followed Zhou Nan out when they heard it, and asked the pro-army to bring a few horses, and the four of them rode on the horses, led the way in front of Zuo Xiaosi, and went straight to the Taishi's Mansion.

The sound of hooves was hurried, and soon he came to Zhang Lin's Taishi Mansion, Zuo Xiaosi dismounted and turned his head and said, "It's here, it's here!" Who knew that Zhou Nan had already jumped off the horse and entered in a few steps. Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi also hurriedly followed.

In the Taishi Mansion, Zuo Xiaosi ran a few steps in a hurry, caught up with Zhou Nan, and led Zhou Nan to the inner courtyard.

Zuo Xiaosi took Zhou Nan to a small courtyard, only to see a bunch of maids and daughters-in-law standing outside the entrance of the main hall, all holding their breath, a young man, dressed as a scribe, standing outside the door, and several ministers next to him, probably close to Zhang Lin or related to Zhang Lin, were also waiting outside the door. As soon as the young scribe saw Zuo Xiaosi leading a few people in, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked Zuo Xiaosi, "Brother Zuo, this is ......?"

Zuo Xiaosi nodded again and again and replied, "Exactly!" This is General Zhou! ”

The young scribe grabbed Zhou Nan's arm, dragged him into the house, and then said, "General Zhou, it's rude!" My father has a sudden illness, and he must wait for you to come before he can speak! Fast! When Zhou Nan heard this, he hurriedly followed the scribe into the room.

This house is probably Zhang Lin's bedroom, there is a varnished wooden bed on the inside of the room, Zhang Lin is lying on it, her eyes are closed, her body is covered with a thin quilt, and a woman next to her, about forty years old, is sitting on the edge of the bed, gently holding Zhang Lin's hand exposed outside the quilt. A maid was holding a teacup with a spoon in it, but she stood still, and she didn't feed Zhang Lin, and she didn't know if she had already fed it.

"Daddy, General Zhou has arrived!" The young scribe dragged Zhou Nan to the bed and whispered to Zhang Lin on the bed.

Zhang Lin on the bed slowly opened his eyes, Zhou Nan thought at first that this was a bitter trick played by Zhang Lin in order to force him to marry the princess, but now looking at Zhang Lin, he saw that his lips were gray, his cheeks were pink, and his eyes were sloppy, knowing that this was a sign that his vitality was about to wither, and hurriedly asked, "Why don't you invite a doctor?!" ”

At this time, Zhang Lin's lips moved, and the scribe hurriedly lowered his head, only to hear that Zhang Lin was saying the word "ginseng soup", and hurriedly asked the maid to bring the ginseng soup over and feed Zhang Lin one spoonful at a time.

After drinking half a cup of ginseng soup, Zhang Lin actually pushed the scribe away with his arm, slowly turned his head, his dim eyes and the spirit of the morning were like two people, Zhang Lin saw Zhou Nan, opened his mouth wide, and said vigorously: "Zhou ...... Will...... Jun," Zhou Nan stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, held Zhang Lin's hand, lowered his head and earsided, and only heard Zhang Lin say: "...... Abide by...... Foreword, Word, Keeping ...... Defending the Frontier...... An Min, marry, and ...... Princess, be kind to ...... Big...... Liao Zimin ......"

After a few words, Zhang Lin was no longer able to speak, Zhou Nan reached out and took the ginseng soup, to feed Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin blocked it with his hand, and said, "Bury me to ...... City...... North...... See...... You, go and marry ......" The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he couldn't hear it anymore, Zhou Nan looked up, and saw Zhang Lin pointing to the north, his eyes were still open, but his pupils had already dilated. Zhou Nan stretched out his hand to try, but his breath was gone.

When the scribe saw it, he knew that Zhang Lin was no longer good, so he knelt down beside the bed and let out a painful sound. The ministers who followed up and stood in the room, Gao Yuan, Yang Keshi and others were also sad. The family members standing outside the door heard the movement in the house, and they all rushed into the room and cried.

When the female relatives of the family came in, Zhou Nan and others came to the courtyard first, and an official family led everyone to the front yard and invited them into the room to sit down and rest. After a while, the young scribe just now changed into a filial piety robe, walked over, and first saluted the younger people in the room, and then said sadly: "There has been a sudden change in the family, and the younger generation is grieved and cannot help himself, and there are many places to bear for the rudeness. I have my own family to take care of my own family affairs, and I don't dare to bother you. It's just that my father said before his death that he would be buried in the north of the city, so that he could see the marriage of the concubine and the princess. I hope that this matter can fulfill the last wish of the father of the whole family. ”

After speaking, he bowed to everyone again, and deliberately took a few steps forward, bowed to Zhou Nanshen, and said, "I hope that General Zhou will be fulfilled." ”

Everyone looked at Zhou Nan one after another. Since these people can appear in the Taishi Mansion at this time, of course, they are all kind to Zhang Lin on weekdays, and they are even more harmonious with Zhang Lin that day, urging them to marry the princess. Zhang Lin just made a last wish, to marry the princess, to Zhou Nan to treat the people well, to guard the territory and the people, these words, but I heard these words, now Zhang Lin's son came over to ask Zhou Nan to fulfill Zhang Lin's last wish, and they all looked at Zhou Nan to see how Zhou Nan answered.

Zhou Nan never thought that Zhang Lin's last request was to ask him to marry the princess, those who guarded the frontier and the people in front of him, and kept the preface, he would agree without thinking about it, but when it came to marrying the princess, he still didn't want to wronged Gao Yun.

"No need to ask! I agreed on behalf of Dalang! Before Zhou Nan could speak, Gao Yuan had already shouted loudly: "The old lady is so loyal, how can he not be moved?!" It must have fulfilled the old lady! As he spoke, Gao Yuan's eyes were red, and Yang Keshi next to him also had a general expression, and said to Zhou Nan: "The old lady is so virtuous, Dalang, you will fulfill the old lady." ”

Zhou Nan looked at Zhang Lin's son, who was full of filial piety, and then looked at these ministers, nodded, and promised: "I promised to marry the princess." ”
