As the night deepened, Zhang Huan rode a horse aimlessly around Chang'an City, Cui Ning's confession stirred his heart, and a sense of concern that had never been felt in twenty-two years filled his heart.

Unconsciously, he came to Cui's Mansion again, he stood at the back door, looking into the garden, hoping that he could see Cui Ning's window, and hoped that she would appear in front of the window to see him, but he couldn't see anything except the high courtyard wall and the closed gate.

Zhang Huan smiled self-deprecatingly, rode back to the inn, and when he saw the inn gate, he remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch or dinner, and there was a group of motley people waiting for him to have a treat!

Zhang Huan turned around and went to the small wine shop opposite the inn, the orchid who invited the wine was not in the store, the store was empty, there was an exam tomorrow, and most of the scholars went back to rest early.

More than a dozen simple couches were almost empty, and a dim oil lamp swayed in the wind, as if it was about to die at any time.

"Little two! Bring me a jug of Sanle wine. Zhang Huan slapped the table, "A few more delicious side dishes." ”

"Come on!" The little second brother quickly served a pot of wine with his hands and feet, and put a few plates of side dishes with wine, "What else do you want, just say!" ”

Zhang Huan took a sip of the wine glass, stretched his waist for a long time, leaned against the wall, and relaxed his whole body.

The confrontation and battle in Daming Palace in the morning was only a few hours ago, but he already felt that everything was so far away and so unreal, as if he had a dream.

'Yulin Army Guoyi Du Lieutenant, Zhaowu Lieutenant', Zhang Huan smiled bitterly, Guo Yi Du Lieutenant is a six-rank official, and Zhaowu Lieutenant is a loose official, but the problem is that there is no so-called Yulin Army in the palace at all, fifteen years ago, after Yu Chaoen's Shence Army was defeated by the Hui people, the Yulin Army has never been able to recover, there are only less than 1,000 guards in the palace, and the rest of the defense duties are performed by Jin Wuwei, who is in charge of Cui Qinggong.

But that's it, there are a lot of military positions such as the general of the Yulin Army, General Lang, and General Zhonglang, but they are all fictitious, and the guards in charge of thousands of people are two lowly positions from the seventh rank or so.

In other words, he is also an empty general without soldiers, Zhang Huan drank another glass of wine, his chest and abdomen were warm, and after eating a few mouthfuls of food, he gradually fell into contemplation again.

It should be said that the Li family has a deep meaning in pulling him into the Yulin Army, he is the basis for the reconciliation between Zhang Ruohao and Zhang Potian, and he is also the heir to the head of the family set by the two of them, it is impossible for the Li family not to know, he is actually trying to draw the Zhang family over by doing this.

He couldn't help but think of what Zhang Ruoho said to him at the end, 'Don't worry, before leaving, I will arrange everything!' ’

Yes! Zhang Huan only now understands the deep meaning of this sentence, what the head of the family refers to is not just as simple as reconciling with Zhang Potian, it is very likely that he also reached some kind of agreement with the Li family before leaving.

Therefore, in the court, in the end, it was the Li Department who made a move, using Cui Xiong to take the risk of removing Cui Qinggong's Fengxiang Festival as an envoy, and then arranging for himself to enter the Yulin Army, step by step, it can be seen that these are planned in advance.

However, what Zhang Huan didn't understand was that Cui Yuan could completely take Feng Xiangjun away, so what was the point of the Li family appointing Duan Xiushi as the envoy of Feng Xiang's festival?

Even if he wanted to transfer local garrison guards from all over the country to rebuild the Fengxiang Army, the right to transfer troops was in Cui Yuan's hands, and the financial power was controlled by Pei Jun, and without their consent, he couldn't mobilize the local army at all.

The Li family will not fail to understand this, maybe he wants to force the Fengxiang army back to Shandong and weaken Cui Yuan's strength in the Gyeonggi region, it should be like this.

Zhang Huan drank a glass of wine, and he remembered that Zhang Potian took him to Fengxiang that night, in fact, he wanted to tell Yang Lie and Lu Qianli that he would be the one in charge of the 30,000 army in the future, so the head of the family and Zhang Potian would arrange themselves to be in the military, and the position of Guoyi Lieutenant was neither high nor low, just so that he could lead a small number of Hedong troops and become the official heir of the head of the family.

"Wait!" A thought suddenly flashed through Zhang Huan's mind, his military rank is the captain of the Yulin Army, in this way, isn't the Hedong Army in charge of him becoming the Yulin Army?

Don't......

Zhang Huan's eyes slowly narrowed, he had fully understood the agreement reached between the Zhang family and the Li family, what Fengxiang Festival envoy, it was just a cover to divert attention, their real purpose was to regain the imperial power for the Li family, and return the power of the Zhang family, and he was the most critical son in this agreement, and it was a link between the Zhang family in Hedong and the Li family in the Tang Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huan began to get excited, he drank all the wine in the cup, and exhaled happily, to be able to bring down the other six great families and dominate the court alone, this is not a challenge in life.

He likes to challenge, whether it is in the water or in the court, whether it is power or women, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women, waking up and killing human rights, what a happy life......

"Drunken beauty knee." Zhang Huan thought of Cui Ning and Pei Ying, can he have the blessing of Qi people and take the two of them into his arms with a smile? Hey! After three glasses of old wine, he was a little fluttery.

The wine in the cup was dry, he reached out to carry the wine jug, but grabbed an empty one, only to see two slender jades pointing out that in front of him now, the cardamom was bright red, smooth and crystalline, "Childe is drinking alone, why don't you call Jing Niang to accompany him?" ”

A fragrant orchid appeared beside him at some point, she smiled gently, poured a glass of wine for Zhang Huan with a wine jug, flipped her hand, and a small cup appeared in her hand like a trick, she poured it for herself, gently rubbed it on Zhang Huan's body with her soft body, and said with a smile: "Wine is a fairy dew that forgets worries, wine is a happy elixir, and the concubine respects her son with a glass." ”

"What a good elixir, I'll drink it!"

Zhang Huan was drunk, he reached out to hug the shoulder of the orchid and smiled: "The spring breeze is proud, once you see all the Chang'an flowers, although the strong peony is beautiful, the small flowers in the mountains and fields are also beautiful." ”

Unexpectedly, he stretched out his hand, but he hugged the air, Jing Niang walked away like a butterfly, Zhang Huan touched his nose, and said with a wry smile: "Although the small flowers in the mountains and fields are lovely, they hide hidden thorns." ”

Jing Niang flew like a butterfly again, leaned lightly on him, and smiled softly: "If you get too close, you will be pricked by wildflowers, but if you are too far away, you can't see its lovely place, the distance is not far or close, but it is the most beautiful, Childe, you are right?" ”

"Not bad! Not bad! It's me who is inferior. Zhang Huan laughed, still reached out to wrap his arm around her shoulder, poured a glass of wine for her, and said: "Jing Niang is full of witty words, why is she committed to this humble place?" ”

"Isn't it good here?"

Jing Niang no longer avoided Zhang Huan's light hug, but leaned against him and said with a smile: "There is no worries here, a few light wines every day, if you meet someone you like, you can still ask for a night's joy, I live happily every day, isn't it much more interesting than your exhaustion." ”

"And what about you?"

Jing Niang got up and danced with long sleeves, dancing light and smart, "Jing Niang only enjoys today, never thinks about the future." ”

Zhang Huan laughed loudly, and simply threw away his worries, "Where do you get off the horse?" Laugh into the orchid restaurant, come! Come! Come! I drank with Jing Niang and didn't get drunk. ”
