The night was dark, the lights in the Qin Mansion were dim, and the courtyard in the east wing of the atrium seemed deserted, except for the servants who served, Li Duoshou, Zhuang Shao, and Ji Pingwen lived, while Yang Xuanli and his three hundred personal soldiers lived in the flower and fruit orchard in the east, only separated by a wall from the back house, and could protect their families at any time, or climb the wall to defend.

There was a sound of footsteps, and four soldiers in strong armor with waist knives on their shoulders stepped forward with lanterns to push open the main gate of the courtyard, and two inside and two inside and outside stood by the door. Then came Zhang Yue, beside Zhuang Shao and Ji Pingwen, who had given a heavy responsibility, Li Duoshou and Yang Xuanli fell behind, and then there were four pro-soldiers carrying lanterns, and two maidservants, Qingzhu and Qiuxiang, each holding a tray of tea cups and snacks, and carefully lit up the lanterns in the hands of the pro-soldiers in front of them.

"This courtyard is still good, but there is something missing! Speaking of which, you are not young, why haven't you had a family? "Drinking in the study just now, Zhang Yue drank a little too much, at this time he was full of wine, asked with a smile while walking, looked back at the autumn fragrance and green bamboo behind him, and some dignitaries entertained their cronies and subordinates, and they sent maids to sleep, but Zhang Yue didn't have this habit.

"We were originally rivers and lakes, and if we got married, we would be concerned and couldn't do big things, but now it's different, if the lord is interested, why not do it?" Zhuang Shao was naturally also shrewd, and he laughed when he heard it.

"Good! If you have something you agree with, just send someone to say it. If not, let the insiders pay attention to you, she knows a lot of young ladies from noble families. Zhang Yue smiled lovely, and when he said this, he didn't know why, the faces of Second Sister Fu and Sixth Sister Fu suddenly appeared in his mind, but this is all master, immediately got rid of this unrealistic thought, stopped and turned around and whispered: "Do you want to solve the urgent need now?" What do you think of the two of them? ”

"Ahem...... I understand the lord's intentions, so let's not want it! Zhuang Shao smiled a little embarrassedly, his face was red, and he didn't know whether he was drinking or embarrassed by this kind of thing. Ji Pingwen next to him was indifferent with a straight face, the two of them obviously had no interest in ordinary women, before that, as a haokou, if you want a woman, you can't get anything.

"That's it, let's get down to business!" Zhang Yue entered the main hall of the courtyard and sat down, raised his hand to signal a few people to sit down, Qiu Xiang and Qingzhu lowered their eyebrows, stepped forward to serve tea to a few people one by one, added snacks and pastries and withdrew from the door to wait.

"The current situation, as well as your heavy responsibilities have been explained, how to do things, you need to consider it yourself, Liu Wenbai, Hao Tianying and others will cooperate with you, Zhuang Shao's position is the judge of Jianwei Jiedu, Ji Pingwen is the commander of Jianwei's army, and you pick your own people. If you have any other requirements, say it as soon as possible, I'll be the shopkeeper afterwards! Zhang Yue's explanation is naturally a bit of a school test.

"It was not uncommon in previous dynasties to be in charge of the seal of the commander with a moderation judge, but at the same time, it was a great challenge to preside over the training of the troops, to take charge of the towns and to maintain control, and it required five or six capable staff members." Zhuang Shao was still a little worried in his heart, and it was not easy for the generals in the army to obey his orders as an unknown newcomer.

"Go to the local area to find Xuan Chongwen to take over, he will take care of everything for you, and Huining and Shanzhou will help you. If you are fast enough, pay a visit to Gao Changhai when passing through Yuanzhou and let him keep an eye on his family. In addition, Shi Yanchao and Wang Renho are there, I will say hello, and then you will send someone to observe whether it has any effect. ”

The northwest area is divided into so many towns, if the original deployment is disrupted, it will not be easy for Zhuang to go. And since Wang Pu mobilized Wang Yanchao, Shi Yanchao, and Wang Renho, maybe he also said hello, and then we will know the follow-up situation.

Zhang Yue explained things clearly, and got up and went out, through the corridor of the middle hall back to the back house, the bedroom was still lit, his wife sat behind the table under the lamp, sewing a moon-white baby underwear with needlework in her hand, seeing him go back to the room and look up and smile slightly, he put down the needlework in his hand, stepped forward to take off his robe, and said softly: "You sit and rest for a while, I'll go to a basin of warm water to clean your face again, and there is still wine in your mouth......"

"What about our children? I don't sleep with me when I'm so young, don't grow up and don't get close to my parents......" Zhang Yue took off his robe and boots, changed into cloth shoes and sat down and waited, turned his head and swept it casually, the teeth-bed-upper quilt was still folded, and he didn't know who was taking care of the two children, and when he saw his wife calling warm water, he asked casually.

"No! Usually you are not at home, I took Sheng'er to sleep, and after giving birth to Di'er, I didn't take him with me. Fu Jinqiong first poured a ring of water for Zhang Yuesekou, then took the towel in the copper basin and kneaded it out, and slowly cleaned the face of the husband.

When she did this, she lowered her head, her eyes widened, and she could see the fine lines on her husband's face, forehead, and ears, and the surface of her slightly dark complexion...... Not yet thirty years old, not yet in the prime of life, everything is fine!

"What's the fuss? Get ready for sleep! Zhang Yue covered his mouth and yawned, his body relaxed and fell asleep, and he didn't want to move when he sitted.

"Huh...... You wait......" The wife smiled coquettishly, walked briskly around to the side of the dresser, picked up a small bronze mirror and turned it behind her, stretched out the bronze mirror in her hand, the person threw herself on the back, and brought her face closer, Gegejiao smiled: "Look at it...... Are we old? ”

Zhang Yue cheered up and saw that on the yellowish smooth mirror in the bronze mirror in his wife's hand, two faces close to each other were revealed. One is a dignified Chinese face, with straight eyebrows, slender eyes, and two splayed black beards under the high nose. The other head is tilted, the round and wide forehead is white, the eyebrows are slender and soft, the eyes are slightly curved with a smile, and the eyes are as bright as water.

"Nope!" Zhang Yue was very sure, and reached out to caress his wife's still delicate cheeks lovingly, and sighed slightly: "I am thinner than last year, and the young lady's innocence and childishness are no longer flying, these are all traces of time!" ”

"It's infuriating! Don't you always pick good things to say? But it's true, and I love to hear it too......" The wife slapped her shoulder in disgust, smiled again, and whispered, "I can feel that your heart is still ...... wild"

"The good wife of the one who knows me is also ......" Zhang Yue laughed and grabbed the bronze mirror and threw it aside, stood up with both hands, and walked to the tooth bed with his beloved wife in his arms.

The lights go out, the night sky outside the window is secluded, the half-round gibbous moon is in the sky, the clear light is pouring out, the plain color is picturesque, and the time is quiet.

"At the beginning of the day! The fifth watch day is here! There is no wind in the early morning, and the tide is easy in the early spring, so be careful of evil qi invading the room! The husband knocked on the bamboo pole along the street, singing a cappella in his mouth, and forming a stanza with each string of pentatonic notes in his hand, which reverberated through the streets and alleys.

When the voice of the groomer was far away, a neat footstep accompanied by the collision of ironclad blades, the street paved with bluestone slabs and city bricks made a loud sound, and a rush of horses' hooves hit like a torrent, shaking the eaves of the houses along the street with dust rushing down, the window purlins were bounced at a high frequency, and the thin window paper made a burst of humming.

Call...... The curtain flew up, Zhang Yue jumped out, opened the window to reveal a gap, and flew into the room obliquely like water. He listened attentively, then went back to the bed-bed to cover his wife, who was still quietly snoring, and slipped out of the bedroom lightly, and went to the backyard to climb the wall.

There is a small corner tower at the corner of the backyard wall and the orchard, there are two pro-soldiers on duty day and night, but the lights are not lit at night, Zhang Yue walks into the corner tower on the second floor along the wall, and the two pro-soldiers are lying on the corner tower carving mouth to look.

"Lord!" The soldiers were very alert, and immediately found the person who came in behind them, and said: "It's the imperial city that is changing guards!" ”

"Got it! Go down and rest. Zhang Yue waved his hand, it was very hard to watch the night.

The two soldiers glanced at each other, raised their hands in unison and gave a northwestern-style military salute, and turned to go downstairs. Zhang Yue walked to the carving mouth and looked into the distance, the moon was about to set, the light was getting weaker and weaker, and he could only see the Bianhe Street on the other side of the river. If the inner city also changes the defense, to the old Song Gate must pass through Bianhe Street, to Baokang Gate must pass through Xiangguo Temple Bridge, these are the main roads of the inner city, other small streets, the formation of the forbidden army will be very long, which will increase the variables.

"Husband! Don't catch a cold! Seeing that Ai Lang looked at the outside intently, he was shocked, so he also came over, and the outside was dark, except for the bright light on the surface of the Bianhe River, he couldn't see anything.

"It's coming! Don't touch me! Go back to sleep! Zhang Yue turned his head to look at his wife, she approached and there was a sound of breathing, and there was a fragrance, and physical contact would also cause hearing interference.

"Huh?" Fu Jinqiong was stunned, smiled and took a few steps back, pulled the robe draped over her shoulders, and looked carefully at the calm figure of the body bowing slightly and lying in front of the carving, but when she thought of something bad, her face slowly turned pale, and her body trembled slightly.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and gradually arrived at Bianhe Street, Zhang Yue squinted and focused his eyes on the distance, only to see a large black shadow squirming forward, but he couldn't see the number of rows at all. Just listen intently, close your eyes, calm your mind and feel, and finally notice something.

Although the steps were neat, they did not land as consistent as when they rode the straight step, not very powerful, and even a little messy and unrestrained. Zhang Yue quickly heard that five people were in a horizontal row, and ten rows were in a command phalanx, and then he opened his eyes and stared at it, and after carefully counting and memorizing, a total of five phalanxes passed.

Nine gates of the inner city plus three water gates, if each gate has an army, it is 30,000 soldiers, plus seven gates of the imperial city, and sixteen gates of the outer city, a total of 57,000 soldiers, that is, more than 85,000 troops were mobilized for this change of defense. Almost half of the strength of the entire forbidden army, in the past, the guard was changed, and only a few doors were occasionally transferred.

It's crazy this time! It is definitely the largest total exchange in history, how frightened those civil officials must be! Zhang Yue has not encountered such a big move since he moved into the inner city of Tokyo.

"Husband! I was suddenly scared! I'm scared......" Zhang Yue exhaled, straightened his waist and turned around, his wife threw herself into her arms, and her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, as if she was afraid of losing it in the next moment.
