After sending away his uncle Zhang Jiuming, Zhang Xuan thought about it a little and decided not to be affected by such a trivial matter anymore.

Today is already March 16, less than two days before he led the army to the vassal and protected Wanchun to marry Tubo and leave Chang'an.

When he left Chang'an this time, he had to settle the back road in advance. In other words, the way should be paved for the family, and all household chores should be properly arranged.

According to Zhang Xuan's suggestion, the Liu family has moved into Zhang Xuan's Metropolitan Governor's Mansion with all the Zhang family.

Fortunately, this house has a large deep door and many small houses, so it is not a problem to accommodate the entire Zhang family.

And after settling the family affairs, for Zhang Xuan, the rest is the big thing he secretly planned.

He has sent someone to secretly transport half of the gold and silver treasures in the underground secret room of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion out of the city in advance, most of them are transferred to Yang Sanjie's mother and son as commercial working capital, and a small part is loaded into chariots and horses mixed into his military equipment team, and he wants to bring them into Longshuo with the army.

Fortunately, this time he led more than 10,000 troops and horses to act, and he was able to repeat a lot, and at the same time, he had all kinds of honor guards to marry Tubo and his relatives in Wanchun, so no one would notice it at all.

There aren't too many credible people around him at the moment. All the internal affairs and miscellaneous affairs were handed over to the long history Zhou Xuchu, while the military affairs relied on Feng Chong and Gu Xi.

After hesitating for a long time, Zhang Xuan decided to use his wife Cui Ying's brother Cui Jin.

Cui Jin is down-to-earth, although he is not as literary as Cui Huan, but he is stable and his in-laws are both prosperous and lossy, with Cui Ying, Cui Jin is probably trustworthy.

After spying with Cui Jin for an hour, Cui Jin became Zhang Xuan, the incoming governor of Longshuo, the marching Sima and the envoy of grain and grass transfer, in charge of all logistics affairs under Zhang Xuan.

Zhang Xuan immediately reported to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, and soon they could get the appointment document.

Cui Jin was very touched by Zhang Xuan's trust, especially after sharing some of Zhang Xuan's confidential matters.

He is different from Cui Huan, he is a concubine in the Cui family, and there is almost no way out. If you want to get rid of this background, you can only make contributions and stand on your own, and only Zhang Xuan can give him this opportunity at present.

The so-called scholar dies as a confidant, although Cui Jin is not a scholar, but he also has a bit of a backbone. Moreover, doing things for Zhang Xuan is equivalent to thinking about his own future, so he can't help but do his best.

As for the "research institute" and "craft workshop" of fire medicine and firearms, Zhang Xuan decided to transfer all of them to Longshuo. And this part of the affairs was handed over to Zhou Xuchu.

For Zhou Xuchu, this is a realistic embodiment of his gradual gain of Zhang Xuan's trust through his loyalty and hard work.

After arranging these things, Zhang Xuan began to think about the security and defense of the Chang'an Mansion. Although he left Chang'an, his family and wife had to stay in Chang'an, which was the practice of the Tang Dynasty.

Generally, the family members of the feudal towns have to stay in Beijing and cannot accompany the army. The families of Brother Shuhan and others are all in Chang'an. Even An Lushan had to leave an eldest son, An Qingzong, in Chang'an.

Now Zhang Xuan has three candidates with strong martial arts around him. Xiao Shisanlang, Hua Nuer Yang Jinhua, Li Tengkong.

The most trustworthy is, of course, Xiao Shisanlang, who can protect his family in Chang'an in case of emergency. But Xiao Shisanlang is also a military officer, Zhang Xuan feels that he can only play a role if he stays in his army, and it seems a bit of a waste to put it in Chang'an.

So there was some hesitation.

Among the three, he couldn't trust Hua Nu'er the most, this woman he had to take away with the army, only he could suppress this woman. Leave this woman in Chang'an, who knows what kind of mess will happen.

As for Li Tengkong, Zhang Xuan's mood was slightly complicated.

Judging from the recent situation, Li Tengkong seems to have a better and better relationship with Cui Ying, and they get along almost day and night. And Cui Ying didn't treat Li Tengkong as a subordinate, the two were together, more like close friends in the boudoir.

If you look at it this way, it is feasible to leave Li Tengkong by Cui Ying's side and put him in Chang'an in case of emergency. However, Zhang Xuan still couldn't be completely reassured. After all, Li Tengkong's master and apprentice were almost left by him as slaves through forceful means, and the time was still short, and he did not fully control the two daughters.

Although Cui Ying said countless times on the pillow that Li Tengkong was absolutely reliable, Zhang Xuan still couldn't make up his mind.

He is a cautious person after all, and he does not want to take a little risk in everything.

I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if Li Tengkong wants to make a little mess for him in Chang'an, he won't be able to end it.

He was pondering in the study, and Zhou Xuchu hurriedly came to report.

"The Grand Governor, all the military horses, baggage, and the carriages and horses of His Royal Highness Wan Chun are ready to stop, and the army is ready to go outside the city, just wait for the Metropolitan Governor to give an order, and they can be pulled." Zhou Xuchu said respectfully.

"It's been ♀ a long time. After the official is inaugurated, he will be rewarded. Zhang Xuan smiled, "In addition, has the establishment of the firearms battalion that this official explained to Zhou Changshi have been done?" ”

"If you go back to the governor, the lower officials will select 200 elite soldiers from the army, and recommend 300 miscellaneous craftsmen from Chang'an to form a firearms battalion, and form another team, which is ready."

Zhang Xuan applauded, "Okay, you go down and prepare, don't make a trace of arsenic." ”

Zhou Xuchu stopped talking.

"Huh? Zhou Changshi said if he had something to say, you and I are not outsiders, so we should be honest with each other. Zhang Xuan glanced at Zhou Xuchu.

Zhou Xuchu looked at Zhang Xuan with some emotion, and said softly, "Governor Dadu, I heard that the imperial court intends to send a supervisor in our army...... I wonder if the Metropolitan Governor has a countermeasure? ”

Overseer? Zhang Xuan was stunned, and immediately remembered the "eunuch supervising army" invented by the old emperor. He pondered for a while, and said with an indifferent smile, "Don't care, if the imperial court is willing to send a prison guard to enter Longshuo with us, then ♀ it is the imperial court regulation, and we can't help but obey our orders." ”……

"Yes, Xia Guan understands." Zhou Xuchu didn't dare to say anything more, so he said goodbye.

Although Zhang Xuan said it easily, he was not easy in his heart. When he went to Longshuo, the first thing was to support the army and cultivate his own power, if there was an inner supervisor with him, it would naturally be very eye-catching.

But this is the regulation of the Tang Dynasty, the result of the old emperor's invention and promotion, and on the bright side, he can't openly argue with the court.

Case...... A grim smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth, Huo Ran got up, waved his hand to Ruyan Ruyu and said, "Ruyan Ruyu, I want to go out." If the lady asks, you will say that I have entered the palace to see the prince. ”

"Yes, Childe."

Cui Ying and Li Tengkong came out of the back garden with a non-secret attitude.

The two were old acquaintances, and they were similar in age, but now they get along day and night, and under Cui Ying's repeated care, their relationship is naturally getting better and better.

Cui Ying didn't treat herself as a person, and tried her best to protect Li Tengkong in this deep mansion compound, which made Li Tengkong's heart extremely warm. The many negative emotions that arose because of Zhang Xuan gradually dissipated because of getting along with Cui Ying.

"Kong'er, let's go, come with me to see Lang Jun." Seeing Li Tengkong stop at the door of the study, Cui Ying smiled and took her hand.

Li Tengkong shook his head, blushed, and said softly, "It's better for Madame to go in by herself, I'll ......"

Cui Ying sighed lightly, she could see some "greasy" between Li Tengkong and Zhang Xuan. Why did Li Tengkong sell himself to Zhang's mansion as a slave, Cui Ying didn't ask again, and neither Zhang Xuan nor Li Tengkong mentioned it again, but Cui Ying was such a smart person, she had already guessed that Li Tengkong must be one of the female assassins some time ago.

"Sister Kong'er, in fact, Lang Jun is a very good person...... Uh......" Cui Ying was about to explain a few more sentences, when she suddenly saw Ruyan Ruyu coming out, so she stopped talking.

"Slave and maid see lady." …… Like smoke and like jade, he fell to the ground.

Cui Ying smiled, "You guys get up, Lang Jun can be in the study?" ”

"Back to Madame's words, the prince has left the mansion and entered the palace to see His Royal Highness the Prince."

Cui Ying's bedroom.

Li Tengkong sat opposite Cui Ying.

Li Tengkong still told the "story" between her and Zhang Xuan over and over again, including the scene where Zhang Xuan escaped from her as a scoundrel that day, and he did not hide it at all. Cui Ying treated her so honestly, she was ashamed.

Cui Ying's face was strange and her mouth opened wide.

She never thought that she would have such a side.

"He ......"

"He's a scoundrel, a scoundrel." Although it has been so long, Li Tengkong is still hateful, and the expression on his face is not full of anger.

Cui Ying shook her head awkwardly, speechless.

"Madam, the slave family was deceived by others, in fact, after being used by An Lushan and ÷defeated, the slave family knew that the death penalty was inevitable, but unexpectedly, Governor Zhang Dadu threatened the slave family with the safety of his family, forcing the slave family master and apprentice to sell themselves as slaves and naturalize them." …… Li Tengkong sighed faintly, "The slave family is not stupid, I think that the governor of the capital values the martial arts of the slave family master and apprentice, and wants the slave family master and apprentice to work for him." ”

"Please rest assured, Madame, the slave family will definitely protect his safety when he goes to Longshuo, even if it is to repay Madame for taking care of the slave family." Li vacated suddenly

His eyes were red, and he knelt down, "Please also ask Mrs. to look at Kong'er's face and take care of Kong'er's family!" ”

Cui Ying sighed and helped Li Teng into the air, and said softly, "Sister Kong'er, don't be sad, this slave is not a slave, she is blocking the eyes of outsiders, with me, who dares to underestimate you." Don't worry, in two years, I will tell Lang Jun that I will give you the removal of slavery. ”

"It's all a misunderstanding, as for Sister Kong'er's family one!" Cui Ying just wanted to say a few words, but suddenly remembered that Zhang Xuan seemed to have sent someone to Lingnan some time ago, so she slowly closed her mouth and changed her words, "Sister Kong'er, it's better to stay in Chang'an and be a companion with me." ”

Li Tengkong smiled sourly, "Madam, the Metropolitan Governor will not rest assured that the slave family is in Chang'an." If the slave family did not guess wrong, he would definitely leave Captain Xiao in Chang'an to protect the Zhang family, and take the slave family master and apprentice to Longshuo. ”

Cui Ying was stunned. @。
