Chapter 176: Uncle and Nephew Zhang Ji
Chang'an, Pei Qing's residence is the residence of the original Wang Yun and later Li Ru, where Xun You, Dong Bai and Cai Yong and others were imprisoned, and it was not a stranger to Pei Qing originally, but now the Son of Heaven inadvertently rewarded this mansion to Pei Qing and made him the new owner here, which can be regarded as feng shui rotation, right?
However, Pei Qing knew the loopholes in this house, so he immediately ordered someone to repair the original section of the broken wall, and further heightened and strengthened all the walls, and also sent more manpower, the reason why he did this was not only for his own safety, but also to prevent the prisoners imprisoned in the dungeon of the inner house from escaping.
Among them, the most important prisoners were Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu's uncle and nephew, and their subordinate Hu Che'er.
In the dungeon, the uncle and nephew were locked together, but they could only be relatively speechless, they were too aggrieved in this battle, in fact, it can't be regarded as aggrieved, the main thing is that their opponents are too strong, they have been skilled in martial arts since childhood, especially Zhang Xiu, and they are famous teachers to teach spearmanship, although they are not old now, but they are already one of the best masters in the Xiliang army, but this battle is still quickly lost, such an outcome is really unacceptable.
Now that their uncle and nephew have both become prisoners, and they don't know what their final fate will be, how can they not feel worried in their hearts?
However, at this moment, the door to the dungeon was opened, and a footstep slowly approached.
"Isn't it time for us to hit the road?" After hearing the footsteps of the comer, Zhang Ji already had a guess in his heart, and although his heart was heavy, he still took the initiative to ask.
"I, Zhang Ji, have also been named marquis in my life, I have also been worshipped generals, and I have married beauties, even if I die now, it is worth it, but it's a pity that Xiu'er is still young, and he even died with me, what face do I have to see my brother under Jiuquan?" Zhang Ji secretly sighed in his heart, feeling deeply sorry for his nephew.
However, at this moment, only a pleasant voice came: "General Zhang, I am Dong Bai." ”
"Huh? Little, Miss, how did you get here? Do you also ......" Zhang Ji's heart shook after hearing Dong Bai's voice, and suddenly remembered that Dong Bai was also the granddaughter of the criminal minister, and she was also in a high position when the Xiliang Army was there, although she has not been free to act, but after all, she is also a figure in the Xiliang Army, and now Pei Qing has helped the Son of Heaven sweep away the Xiliang Army, I am afraid that Dong Bai has also been affected by this.
"I didn't expect that Miss, she would still be unable to escape death after all. It's a pity she's still so young. Zhang Ji sighed secretly in his heart, but he could only express a sigh, because he couldn't even grasp his own fate, how could he control others?
However, he saw Dong Bai and said: "No, General Zhang, you misunderstood, I am very good now, my generation General Pei saved me, in fact, I was also imprisoned here at the beginning, and that time was saved by General Pei, and he has saved me twice." ”
"I see, the young lady can be saved, which is really gratifying, so that even if the general dies, he can also be blind." Zhang Ji is now sincerely happy for Dong Bai, because Dong Bai is the only bloodline left by their former master Dong Zhuo.
At this time, I saw Dong Bai say: "Actually, the general can also not die." ”
"Huh? What does this mean, Miss? After hearing this, Zhang Ji's heart was very shaken, and he asked.
Dong Bai smiled faintly, and then said in a deep voice: "It's not a secret, I came to see the general this time, it is for this reason, although General Pei has clashed with my Xiliang army many times, but his heart is because of his duties, not because of my Xiliang army, so whether it is Xu Rong or Li Su, these generals are serving under his command, General Pei He has a long-term vision, eloquent talent, and a broad mind, and is thirsty for talent, specially entrusted me to come to persuade the general, if you want to follow from now on, General Pei will return to his wife, let the general's family reunite, with the general's skills, In the future, wouldn't it be much better to be crowned with a wife and a son and leave a name in history than to be killed now and leave a bad name in the history books? ”
Zhang Ji didn't want to die, and with Dong Bai persuading him here, he naturally didn't hesitate, and immediately bowed in surprise: "Ji can not die, it's already a great blessing, and now he is so valued by General Pei, he is really flattered, and Miss Lao went to reply to General Pei on behalf of the last general, Ji is willing to serve General Pei, and from then on, with this crippled body, let General Pei drive, although he has no regrets!" ”
"Haha, it's great that the general can do this, and I can also give an account to General Pei, so the general will listen to my good news." Dong Bai smiled, bowed to Zhang Ji, and then left the dungeon.
It didn't take long to see Pei Qing, under the guidance of Dong Bai, take the Zou family to the dungeon, personally untie Zhang Ji's uncle and nephew and Hu Che'er, and said to them with a smile: "How fortunate is Qing to be able to get the assistance of General Zhang and the young general?" I believe that with your help, I will be even more powerful in the future. ”
Later, Pei Qing worshiped Zhang Ji as the general of Guisui, and Chen Cang was too guarded, and asked him to lead the army to guard Chen Cang. He also said that Zhang Xiu was the captain of Fengyi, and Hu Che'er was the captain of Guiyi, so that Zhang Xiu stayed in Chang'an, but let Hu Che'er follow Zhang Ji.
The reason why Pei Qing left Zhang Xiu in Chang'an, of course, also has the intention of being a hostage, after all, many things can't be done only by emotion, such as Zhang Ji, although he is grateful to himself for a while, but it is difficult to ensure that his gratitude will not be exhausted in the future, or when he is tempted by greater interests, he will inevitably have a bad heart, so it is better to take precautions.
At this time, Zou stepped forward and said with tears in his eyes: "General, the concubine has finally seen you, this is simply great, and it is also thanks to General Pei who sent someone to protect it, the concubine can see the general again, General Pei's kindness to us is too deep." ”
When Zhang Ji saw his wife again, he was naturally like a world away, but after all, he was a man, so he naturally couldn't hug and cry with the Zou family, but nodded solemnly and said: "General Pei and my Zhang Ji's great kindness, I, Zhang Ji, naturally remember it, even if it is death, it will be difficult to repay it." ”
Pei Qing saw this scene but smiled faintly: "General Zhang, your husband and wife are reunited, this is a good thing, it is said that you should celebrate and celebrate, but the best celebration now is that we are not around, so, hehe, the next time will be handed over to you, by the way, I, an eye-catching person, will not bother here, but general, you also know that the military situation ahead, especially Chen Cang, this is the gateway to Guanzhong from Hanzhong, because the Xiliang army has just withdrawn, people here are panicking, so you can't keep delaying, I will give you three days of reunion, and after three days, the general will go to Chencang to take office. ”
Of course, Zhang Ji knew that his wife, like his nephew Zhang Xiu, was now pledged to Chang'an and could not take office with him, but Zhang Ji also understood, not to mention that it was not safe to have a shortage of soldiers in Chencang, and he didn't want his wife to go with him to take office.
So Zhang Ji hurriedly said: "Since the military situation is critical, why wait for three days? Tomorrow morning, the last general will set off for Chencang, please rest assured that the last general will defend Chencang to the death! ”
