Chapter 0152 - Three Conditions
"The first problem I encountered was that the Holy Lord wanted to disband the army that participated in the Goguryeo Campaign, and I hope that the Lord of the Council can find a way to stop it!"
Dou Qing pondered and said: "I might as well tell General Zhang the truth, there are two different opinions in the imperial court on whether to disband the army that participated in the Goguryeo Campaign, one is the military department headed by Yu Shiji, they think that this army obeys the orders of Lai Hu'er, which is a threat to the imperial court, and advocates disbanding them, and they are currently the upper hand."
And the other faction is Yu Wenshu, Xue Shixiong and other generals, they took a fancy to the elite of this army and wanted to take them for their own use, so Yu Wenshu concocted the Chang Closed Gate Incident, the intention was to eradicate Laihu'er, and at the same time clean up the middle and low-level officers of this army, and then the soldiers belonged to them, I can persuade Yu Shiji to give up the disbandment plan, but in this way, Yu Wenshu has the upper hand, can General Zhang accept this result? ”
Zhang Xuan was silent, he initially hoped that Zhou Fashang would be able to take over the army, but Zhou Fashang had already been transferred, so the result might be as Dou Qing said, and finally he made a wedding dress for Yuwenshu for nothing.
Zhang Xuan sighed, "If the ending is that the soldiers return to Yu Wenshu, then it is better to disband and let the soldiers go home to reunite with their families, okay!" I will not be embarrassed by the Dou Lord, but my army cannot be dispersed in any way, and they must continue to follow me. ”
Dou Qing nodded, "No problem, this is actually just a trivial matter, when the Ministry of War drafts the disbandment plan, it will generally not be disbanded, and a small part will be left, then General Zhang's army will be left, I can do it!" ”
"My second problem is whether it is unfair that the soldiers who participated in the Goguryeo campaign, who should be honored and rewarded, now have nothing."
At the beginning of Zhuo County, he personally promised that the soldiers who participated in the Goguryeo War would get double salaries, and the credit would be doubled, but the war was over. He was reluctant to come up with the money, which was his usual style, and it wasn't surprising, but I could think of a way. Whether he was willing or helpless, he had to fulfill his promise. ”
"Thank you for your sincerity, I still have a problem with where I'm going, frankly. I don't want to follow Yuwenshu. ”
Dou Qing laughed, "I thought your third was to hope that you would come out safely, but you were thinking about yourself." ”
Zhang Xuan shook his head and said, "Master Dou will get Li Shanheng, doesn't the incident have nothing to do with the general Lai?" I don't have to worry about him, but myself, Yuwenshu didn't succeed in harming me in Qinghe County, he will definitely not be reconciled, if I fall into his hands, the consequences will be unimaginable, so this is my real difficulty. ”
Dou Qing laughed. "I like General Zhang's honesty!"
He glanced at Zhang Xuan deeply, "Let me guess where General Zhang wants to go?" ”
"Can Master Dou guess?"
Dou Qing smiled and said, "I guessed from the Tiansi Pavilion case that General Zhang wanted to go to Zhang Xutuo!" ”
Zhang Xuan immediately stood up and bowed, "Zhang Xuan is about these three difficulties, if the master is willing to agree, I will immediately send someone to send Li Shanheng and his family back." ”
"You believe in the old man like that? What if the old man backtracks? Dou Qing asked with a smile.
Zhang Xuan said solemnly: "It's not a matter of whether you believe it or not, I think I told Master Dou that if Lord Dou is not sincere, I will have a good talk with the Holy Lord about the story of the Wagang Army." ”
Dou Qing was stunned, and nodded after a while. "Alright! I promise you, but you have to tell me, how did you know about that? ”
"I believe that Master Dou also knows that Li Mi actually died at my hands. Li Jiancheng's secret can't be hidden from me. ”
Dou Qing did already know that Li Mi died in the hands of Zhang Xuan, but Zhang Xuan did not admit it frankly until today, which was also because he seized Li Jiancheng's handle in Wagang and was not afraid of the revenge of the Guanlong nobles.
Dou Qing didn't care about Li Mi, but he cared about Li Jiancheng very much, and he pondered for a moment and said, "If you really remember my favor." Please keep this secret for me. ”
"Zhang Xuan can not die today because he knows what to say and what not to say, Dou Huizhu, we will have a period in the future!"
Jang Hyun bowed deeply, turned around and walked towards the outhouse.
Zhang Chuchen opened the door for him expressionlessly, and at the moment when Zhang Xuan walked out of the door, he felt an extra note in his hand, he was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Zhang Chuchen, but Zhang Chuchen ignored him, turned around and went to the back room.
......
Zhang Xuan and Wei Chigong left the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, they found another wine shop for lunch, Zhang Xuan groaned, and said to a pro-soldier: "You go back first, tell Chen Xu to send Li Shijie and his family to Wuchuan Mansion together, and let him be careful on the road." ”
Zhang Xuan said to Wei Chigong and the other two soldiers: "You go to the cultivation workshop, monitor Pei Ju's mansion for me, pay attention to their every move, and if you find out about the situation, come to the Bibo wine shop outside the West City Gate to find me." ”
"Don't worry, general, I know what to do!"
Wei Chigong and a few of his own soldiers left the liquor store first and headed towards the workshop, Zhang Xuan watched them go away, then turned over and urged the horse to go to the temple near Xishi.
The temple is also the temple of the city god, which is dedicated to the place of the city god.
Zhang Xuan led the horse and slowly walked into the temple, at this time it was still early to leave the time of the festival, and the temple was extremely deserted, and only happened to meet a few old people who came to offer incense.
"You're really trustworthy!"
When Zhang Xuan turned around, he saw Zhang Chuchen standing a few steps away, his hands clasped in front of his chest, looking at him with a smile.
"Where's she?" Zhang Xuan asked coldly.
"Don't worry! Your little girl is safe, and I can give her to you right away, but what! I have a small condition. ”
"Conditions?"
"Of course, there must be conditions!"
Zhang Chuchen said proudly: "You can put forward conditions to my stepfather, because you captured his people, and similarly, your people are in my hands, should I also put forward conditions?" ”
Zhang Xuan stared at her for a moment, and asked lightly: "You can actually use her in exchange for Li Shanheng, why don't you bring it up?" ”
"This girl has always done whatever she wants, what are you doing with so much nonsense!"
Jang Hyun laughed, "Okay! What conditions do you want? ”
Zhang Chuchen's slender eyebrows were raised, and there was a smile in his apricot eyes, "I was also in the West Market last time!" You were chased and killed by Yuwen Taibao, I saved you once, and I fought with you once, but this girl considered that you were about to go north, so her subordinates showed mercy. I heard that you have practiced the bluestone scripture well, I want to compete with you again, if you beat me, I will give you the little girl. ”
"But what if I lose?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.
Zhang Chuchen clenched his teeth. "If you lose, I will also return the little girl to you, but you have to return the Qingshi Sutra and the Ziyang Halberd Method, which is my master's thing, you can't take it!"
Jang Hyun took out a bag from the horse bag. Throw it to Zhang Chuchen, "This is the bluestone scripture, I will return it to you now, and the purple yang halberd method will be returned to you in three months." ”
Zhang Chuchen grabbed the bag, gritted his silver teeth and said, "Don't you dare to compete with me?" ”
Zhang Xuan laughed, "I'm afraid that if you lose the sword, you will be angry and refuse to return the little girl to me." ”
"As long as you beat me with real skills, I will admit defeat in my bet, come on!"
Jaang Xuan pulled out his sword. Suddenly, the cold light flashed, "Girl, please!" ”
"Pick up!" Zhang Chuchen let out a low shout, and the long sword came out of its sheath, like a bolt of lightning stabbing straight towards Zhang Xuan, extremely fast, and the sword was extremely powerful.
If it was before going to the grassland, Zhang Xuan would not be her opponent and would be killed by her fast sword, but now that he is no longer Wuxia Ameng, Zhang Zhuchen's sword is no longer a threat to him.
Jang Hyun was unhurried. As soon as the sword was spit, all the opponent's offensive routes were blocked, and he could obviously attack, but he took defense. This is Jang Hyun giving her a face.
Zhang Chuchen was stunned in her heart, she found that her sword couldn't attack at all, she immediately jumped up, like a flying swallow in the air, turned over and jumped nearly a zhang high, and swept over Zhang Xuan's head. The long sword stabbed at Jang Hyun's back shoulder in the air.
Jang Hyun laughed, "The girl's sword seems to have slowed down. ”
He came first, grabbed Zhang Chuchen's sword with his backhand, and his hand was like an iron tong, firmly clasped on her long sword.
Zhang Chuchen was shocked, "Let go!" She shouted urgently, and the long sword was withdrawn backwards, if Zhang Xuan did not let go, all five fingers would be cut off, but the long sword seemed to be firmly sucked in Zhang Xuan's hand, motionless.
"Is the girl going to fight?"
Zhang Xuan slowly intensified, the sword began to bend, this cold ice sword was built for her by Master Ziyang Zhenren when Zhang Zhuchen left Zhongnan Mountain, Zhang Zhuchen loved her life, and seeing that she was about to be broken by Zhang Xuan, she was so anxious that she shouted, "Let go, I admit defeat!" ”
Zhang Xuan let go of the long sword, but his body quickly retreated a few feet away, and Zhang Chuchen stomped his foot fiercely in anger, "You are playing a scoundrel, what kind of martial arts is this!" ”
Zhang Xuan smiled, "In fact, I am not the same kind of martial artist as the girl, and the girl is looking for me to compete, but in fact, she is simply retreating." ”
"And who are you?"
Jaung Hyun didn't answer her words, he suddenly slashed at a thick tree with a bowl mouth next to him, 'Click! With a bang, the big tree was actually split into two pieces by him, and this knife was enough to have a thousand catties.
Zhang Zhuchen's face turned pale, and she suddenly understood that in fact, Zhang Xuan could cut her sword with the first move, and in the face of strong power, she couldn't even resist a single sword.
Zhang Xuan put away the knife and bowed to her, "I promised the girl that I would return the Ziyang Ancient Scroll in three months, and ask the girl to tell me, where is my maid?" ”
Zhang Chuchen glanced at him with complicated eyes, turned over on his horse, urged the horse to run outside the temple, and shouted from afar: "You come with me!" ”
Zhang Xuan hurriedly got on his horse and followed her to the West Market.
The reason why Zhang Xuan saved her face was because she did not hand over Ah Yuan to Dou Qing, otherwise the negotiation at noon today might not be so smooth, which shows that she is a woman with strong principles and will never do anything to take advantage of people's danger.
The two came to the back door of a fat powder shop in Xishi, and Zhang Chuchen pointed with a horsewhip, "You go knock on the door!" ”
Zhang Xuan turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and knocked on the door, a well-behaved and round little face appeared in front of him, it was Zhang Xuan's little maid A Yuan who was thrown in Qinghe County, Ah Yuan didn't expect Zhang Xuan to be outside the door, her eyes were red, and she threw herself into Zhang Xuan's arms and cried.
Zhang Xuan was really sorry in his heart, he retreated too hastily, and before he had time to say a word to her, he left her to Lu Qingyuan, once Zhang Jin said that he found out that she was his maid, the consequences were unimaginable.
"Don't cry, good boy, when did you come to Luoyang?"
"Here we go again, who's the good boy!"
Ah Yuan muttered, couldn't help but burst into laughter, she wiped away her tears embarrassedly, and complained: "Gongzi doesn't leave an address, so people ask around Luoyang, I only found out this morning that you are in the area of the Forbidden Garden in the west of the city, but I can't enter the Forbidden Garden, thanks to meeting Sister, otherwise I really don't know what to do." ”
Zhang Xuan glanced back at Zhang Chuchen meaningfully, it turned out that she had been monitoring herself in the West Inner Garden. (To be continued.) )
