The Zhenyuan Army in Huizhou has initially completed its reorganization, and the next step is to strengthen the training of the new recruits of the Sixth Battalion, so that the old battalions stationed in various places will be replaced at that time. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info weapons and equipment, military and political logistics can not keep up with the progress for the time being, ordnance repair workshop, craftsmen are enough, but the iron is only enough to build part of the scout equipment, and the other can only repair old weapons.

This mess of things has not been able to be integrated due to various constraints, and Zhang Yue can only let it go, and on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, he took Shen Xuelian back to Jingzhou.

All the way to Xiaoxing overnight, this afternoon Shen Shi passed through Panyuan County, Weizhou, arrived at the border of Jingzhou Qingshiling area, the gloomy sky fell goose feather heavy snow. The ghost place that does not rely on the village in front and does not have a shop in the back is very desolate, the rugged mountain road is Jingshui Valley in the south, the bluestone ridge is in the north, and there are still thirty or forty miles away from Baoding City in Jingzhou.

"My lord! The snow is getting heavier and heavier, so why don't you send the brothers to find a village to spend the night in? Li Duoshou ran back to the carriage and asked.

"The day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, what to stop? Send a few horsemen back first and speed up the road! The curtain of the carriage was lifted in a corner, and Zhang Yue probed out to take a look and said sternly. Depending on the weather, if you stop overnight on the road, tomorrow there will be deep snow on the ground, and it will be very troublesome to hurry.

Li Duoshou nodded, went forward and gave an order, let Yang Xuanli lead the cavalry in front of the soldiers, tie the tail of the horse with pine branches and beat the horse to gallop, and the thin layer of snow that had just accumulated on the road was quickly dragged off to prevent the carriage from slipping behind.

If it is a horse team that is lightly armed, it is very fast, but there are two carriages that slow down the speed, one car is naturally seated, the latter is carrying the luggage of Zhang Yue and the soldiers, and Shen Xuelian, she didn't have many things, but after arriving in Huining, she bought some.

"Hey! Don't fall asleep again, are you feeling better? Can I ride a horse? Looking at Shen Xuelian, who was half-lying in her arms, Zhang Yue asked with a wry smile. She has been feeling cold for a few days, and she has been taking traditional Chinese medicine and has not been getting better, and she also launched a high fever the day before yesterday.

"It's okay! I can ride a horse! Shen Xuelian looked sleepy-eyed and replied dreamily. Youlan and Youqiao were huddled in the corner of the carriage and muttered quietly, warming their hands again and again, and glancing at this side from time to time.

Zhang Yue was a little speechless, she couldn't fall off when she rode a horse alone like this, it seemed that she could only throw down the carriage and let her soldiers take her on the heel, and she could only take her away first.

After the road surface of Qingshiling was flat, Zhang Yue helped Shen Xuelian get out of the car, wrapped her in a thick fox fur cloak, let her get on the horse first, and then followed, Shen Xuelian no longer resisted, and reached out to pull him.

Zhang Yue asked Yang Xuanli to take people behind, and he and Shi Chenghong and Li Duoshou took a hundred horses to gallop first. The wind and snow are howling, the mountains and fields have begun to whiten, the vision is blurred, and the snow flakes on the face are particularly painful. Shen Xuelian sat in front of her to block the wind, her head and face were covered, but her big eyes were exposed but she only looked down at the horse's back, and her hands were tightly grasping the saddle. Two maidservants, riding together on a horse, followed behind.

Twenty miles later, some villages began to appear on both sides of the official road, Zhang Yue didn't pay attention to it, and only cared about hurrying. A township gradually appeared in front, with no walls on the periphery, rows of houses on both sides of the official road, and many shops.

The streets of the town are sparsely populated and surprisingly quiet. Zhang Yue slowed down the speed of the horse, drove the horse trotting, and when he was about to leave the town, he suddenly saw a large group of people gathered on the side of the road in front of the archway at the fork in front of him, pointing and pointing, watching the two groups of people fighting with sticks in hand. On one side are all domestic servants in green clothes and small hats, and on the other side, the clothes are messy, both old and young, looking like rural peasants.

"Give a certain beating hard, kill these Tian Shenu with the support of Mrs. Hu, and don't look at who our family officials are?" A well-dressed middle-aged man with his hands in his sleeves stood on the side of the road and shouted and cursed.

"You dog joining the army! You won't die well if you rob my daughter, my mother is not alive today, and you have the courage to beat my mother to death! On the opposite side of the road, a middle-aged woman sat on the snow, kicking her legs and spilling her legs, tearing her hair and crying.

"Li Duoshou! Go ask what's going on! Zhang Yule stopped fighting and stood on the side of the road, he didn't want to care about this kind of trivial matter, but the crowd blocked the road and had to stop.

Li Duoshou turned over and dismounted when he heard this, squeezed into the crowd of onlookers to inquire, and soon ran back and said: "This is called Yancang Town, there is a wealthy family surnamed Hu in the town, the head of the family is the state government and the military affairs, and his son is idle, often doing some things to bully men and women, and take away people's property, and his reputation is very bad." ”

"Record the military affairs! When I returned to the state city, I would like to inquire about the origin of this Hu family! Zhang Yue nodded, and beckoned: "Let's go!" It's important to hurry! ”

"Aren't you a marshal? Why don't you care? Shen Xuelian looked at the woman with a look of sympathy on her face.

"I'm in charge of five states, and if I interfere in such a small matter, I won't be tired to death?" Zhang Yue said angrily.

Shi Chenghong rode forward with his own soldiers, waved his whip and whipped it, and soon cleared the road. Zhang Yue trotted over, continued to hurry, and finally arrived outside the west city gate of Baoding when it was dark and night, but the city gate had been closed for a long time, and Li Duoshou went to call open the city gate.

Outside the west door behind the Jiedu Mansion, Fu Jinqiong had already received a report from the soldiers, changed into a warm dress, tied a thick cloak with a plush edge, and waited in front of the door with a green bamboo lantern, and was about to step forward to greet him, when he suddenly saw Zhang Yue immediately hugging a strange young woman, and suddenly a trace of grievance flashed in his eyes, and he was angry in his heart, and he barely had a smile on his face.

Shen Xuelian also saw Fu Jinqiong in front of the door, and felt uneasy for a while, so Zhang Yue helped her get off the horse, pulled his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "What should I call your lady?" Or I'd better go to the inn, or the guest house! ”

"Guest house? Did you bring any money? It's all here, let's see for yourself! Zhang Yue glanced at Shen Xuelian with a smile, turned around and ordered Shi Chenghong and Li Duoshou to take their soldiers to the barracks in the northeast corner of the mansion first.

Shen Xuelian saw Zhang Yue walking away, so she had to walk to the front steps of the door, and blessed Fu Jinqiong Yingying, practicing the common etiquette of Central Plains women, and whispered with a red face and panicked: "Shen Xuelian, the daughter of the great leader of the Six Valleys, has seen Madame!" ”

Fu Jinqiong was surprised for a while, seeing that she was snuggled in Zhang Yue's arms just now, the two of them were intimate, a trace of complexity flashed in their eyes, and they nodded and smiled: "It's hard to travel in the cold, let's come in!" ”

After Fu Jinqiong finished speaking, she turned around and left, Qingzhu hesitated with the lantern, afraid that her lady would not be able to see the way, so she had to follow. The soldiers had already led the horses away, and Shen Jingang took one hundred and fifty horsemen with him, and under Li Duoshou's hint, he had no choice but to follow. Only Youlan and Youqi were left, and they stood aside with clothes and wraps to follow.

"Come on! What are you doing standing there? Zhang Yue stepped up the steps, and saw that Shen Xuelian was still standing there, her feet rooted, and she lowered her head and said nothing. So he had to retreat, took her cold hand, and asked, "What?" Don't want to go in? ”

"No...... Is it your woman when you enter the door? Shen Xuelian lowered her head, her heart was very complicated, she didn't want to become someone else's concubine, but this person was Zhang Yue, she was not disgusted, but was happy to accept his care.

That is, on the day she married Shen Yanfu the year before last, she met Zhang Yue for the first time, and then in the Chishui Military City, because she begged Zhang Yue to be lenient to the people in the city, there was an indescribable relationship between the two. He is young and handsome, talented, high-powered, and more importantly, he is always considerate to himself, and he can help Rokutani through difficult times, and it seems that there is no more choice.
