As when he left, the gate of Jingning City quietly opened, and Xu Liang's carriage quietly entered the city, drove all the way to the yamen, and entered the yamen through the side gate.

Xu Liang got out of the carriage and inadvertently glanced at the wing room where the prince was staying, and saw that the lights were still on in the house, and the prince had not fallen asleep.

Dai Yingying said: "Xianggong, let's go out of the city overnight and then enter the city, it is difficult to hide the eyeliner of the East Factory." ”

Xu Liang said strangely: "What if he sees us going out of the city?" Can the prince imagine what we are going to do? ”

Dai Yingying's gaze stayed on the dim light on the window paper for a while, and said worriedly: "I'm afraid that the prince will guess." ”

"Then let him guess." Xu Liang raised his feet and walked in, and said, "The night is long, the prince can guess a little topic, and he can also solve his loneliness, right?" ”

After Xu Liang and Dai Yingying walked by, the lights in the Wanggong Mansion were lit until late at night.

At the same time, the lights were also on in the study of Governor Zhang's mansion in Pingliang City.

Governor Zhang dismissed the officials on duty, closed the door tightly, and turned on the light, stunned. Next to him, stood quietly Zhang Zhutou of the prefect's yamen.

An envelope sat quietly on the table under the lamp, and the torn end revealed the corner of a silver ticket, which should have been a denomination of one thousand taels judging by the suit.

Governor Zhang was stunned, and Zhang Zhutou's gaze occasionally fell on the envelope, and then moved away.

Neither of them spoke, the room was quiet, and the candle flame with the thickness of a thumb on the table burned straight and impartially.

In the evening, Anton Zhongwei Ye entered the palace when the subordinate officials of the yamen were almost empty. Once again, I was willing to ask Governor Zhang to give the guards of Anton Zhongwei a chance to show their self-worth. Defend the tower for the Liang army for a period of time.

Xu Liang took more than 20,000 Liang troops to Jingning Prefecture, but the garrison of Pingliang Mansion did not decrease at all. The Pingliang guerrilla camp did not use a single soldier, and the guerrilla general Dai Feng still insisted on inspecting the city towers in the morning and evening.

The defenders were unabated. Governor Zhang couldn't find a reason to arrange for Anton's central defender to appear.

Originally, Governor Zhang was going to refuse, but then Commander Ye took out the envelope and pushed it in front of Governor Zhang, and one end of the envelope revealed the corner of a stack of silver tickets, so that the words that Governor Zhang was about to say were stuck in his throat.

Governor Zhang's breath was heavy, and his eyes stopped on the envelope for a long time, hot for a while, hesitant for a while, and regretful for a while. I weigh it again. Finally reason defeated greed, and Governor Zhang pushed the envelope out with a painful face.

Commander Ye suppressed the movements of Governor Zhang's mansion in time with his right hand, and said something like this: "This represents the determination of all the soldiers of my Anton Zhongwei to serve the country. ”

Governor Zhang shook his head and sighed: "The consequences of angering Xu Liang are unbearable for this government. ”

Commander Ye said: "General Ben knows the difficulties of the Lord of Futai, and he also understands the grievances of the Lord of Futai very well, and we are all eagerly looking forward to the Lord of Futai being able to show the style of the four products of the territory. As long as the Lord of Futai gives this warrant, not only will I be the only one in the future. And he was able to successfully win the friendship of the son. ”

It was Commander Ye's last words that shook Governor Zhang's original firm determination.

Anton Zhongwei's allegiance may not be nothing, and the commander Ye Yanqing's character is also understood by Governor Zhang. said that it was allegiance, that is, the scene words, politely. It can't be true. However, the Han Wangfu was built in Pingliang for more than 200 years, and the power of the Han Wangfu penetrated into all corners of Pingliang Mansion. With just one warrant, he was able to win the friendship of the prince of Han. This is a good thing that can be encountered but cannot be sought, and it cannot but be treated cautiously by Governor Zhang.

In the study, Mao Zhi's candlelight shook slightly, only a slight flicker, and Governor Zhang seemed to wake up from his stunned contemplation, his eyes fell on the envelope again, and he said hesitantly: "Jingning Prefecture is at war, in order to prevent thieves from escaping into Pingliang City to do evil, this government out of the perspective of protecting the safety of the people of Pingliang, specially ordered Andong Zhongwei to take over the West City Gate...... Doesn't that sound reasonable? ”

The audience in the room was Zhang Zhutou alone, and the words were naturally spoken to Zhang Zhutou.

"My lord, the Pingliang guerrilla general Dai Feng is still in the city." Zhang Zhutou reminded.

Governor Zhang couldn't help but sigh, and said with a sad face: "Yes, there are still six thousand Liang troops in the city, and there is also a guerrilla general. ”

Zhang Zhutou sighed silently.

After struggling for a long time, Governor Zhang's face became more and more determined, and finally made up his mind, walked to the table, pinched the brush, quickly drew up a warrant, looked at it for a while, and trembled and took out the official seal he was carrying and printed the bright red seal. After finishing this qiē, Zhang Zhifu seemed to be drained of all the strength in his body, and sat down in his chair, gasping heavily.

Zhang Zhutou still watched in silence as Governor Zhang finished this qiē and did not speak.

After a long time, Governor Zhang seemed to have regained some strength in his body, and waved his hand at Zhang Zhutou.

Zhang Zhutou stepped forward silently, took the warrant that the ink had not yet dried, bowed his head to Governor Zhang's mansion in silence, turned around and opened the door, and strode into the dark night.

O friendship of the son! Governor Zhang sighed, his mouth full of bitterness.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night.

The next day, Jingning City gathered generals to order troops, Xu Liang looked at the prince with two dark circles under his eyes, and asked with concern: "Yo, what's wrong with the father-in-law?" Didn't get a good night's rest last night? ”

Although the prince scolded Xu Liang half to death in his heart, he still smiled on the surface.

"Thinking that Li Jiajun is still calming down the trouble, our family has the trust of the emperor, and I am panicked in my heart, how can I sleep well?"

This old thing is pretty good at putting gold on his face! Xu Liang sneered secretly, obviously guessing Xu Liang's movements overnight, but if he wanted to say that he was disappointing the emperor's order, he was terrified, and he was really thick-skinned.

Xu Liang smiled and arched his hand: "Father-in-law, you have to take care of your body." ”

"Huh." The prince squeezed out a little smile.

When the generals gathered, the prince squinted at Xu Liang, who was standing in front of the generals with his hands behind his back, and he was spitting stars, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes.

The point is about to be completed, still by Wanwenshan with the cavalry battalion, Luo Rucai with the vanguard battalion, the two troops in the periphery of Jingning City to clear the thieves, the main force still remains in the city, closed the city gates, in the name of searching for the thieves who have slipped through the net, in the name of searching for the thieves who have slipped through the net, the captured thieves or some other unidentified people, are locked up in the depths of the barracks. One after another, truckloads of things were wrapped in tarpaulins and transported into the barracks.

Liang Jun is experienced in dealing with this kind of thing, and he is familiar with it.

At nightfall, another carriage quietly went out of the north city gate, and in a small wooden house near the city gate, two squatting Dongchang fanzi watched the city gate close gently, one of them got up on his knees and ran back to the yamen to report the news, and the other one was still there guarding.

At this time, Xu Liang was drinking with the princess, and he came in in a hurry, and saw the prince and Xu Liang sitting opposite each other at a small long table, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, so unhappy, Fanzi hurriedly stopped his hurried steps and stood aside.

Xu Liang glanced up at him, and put the empty wine glass on the table, only to hear a crisp sound. Xu Liang shouted indistinctly: "You, pour wine!" ”

After eating for more than an hour, Xu Liang got up and shook away, and hurriedly put down the wine jug, leaned into the ear of the prince, and whispered a few words.

Wang Gonggong's face flushed, and he said to himself in surprise: "Xu Liang has been drinking here all night, who will be out of the city?" ”

In Yali, Jingning Prefecture, Xu Liang's residence is not far from the residence of the prince. Xu Liang went back to the house, the guards brought hot water, put on a hot face, leaned on the bedside to rest for a while, then heard the sound of the door opening, Dai Yingying entered the house in a hurry, stood in front of Xu Liang, and presented a stack of silver tickets to Xu Liang.

"Okay?" Xu Liang glanced at the stack of silver tickets and asked with a chuckle.

"Not very proper." Dai Yingying said.

"Huh?"

Dai Yingying shook the silver ticket in her hand and sneered: "The fourth lady was worried that the money would be wasted, so she only promised to pay five thousand taels first!" ”

Xu Liang bounced up from the bed with a swish, grabbed the silver ticket, counted it carefully, and jumped to his feet and scolded: "What is she?" Give the money first, and settle the balance afterwards?! In order to avoid suspicion, Lao Tzu tried his best to accompany the old coffin scoop and drank soju for most of the night, and he was so disgusted that he almost vomited on the spot! And she gave me this hand? (To be continued......)
