Hou Xi didn't come alone, he was accompanied by Hu Zhuang, an important figure of the Hu family in Yangwu City, the Hu family and the Zhang family are in Yangwu, and it is very common for the big families to intermarry with each other.

"Ah Ping, you also go and listen to what Hou Sima has to say." Zhang Ying waved his hand, straightened his clothes, and went to the front hall to greet guests.

"Listen to Ah Weng!" The young man bowed his head in response, straightened his clothes, and his expression was calm.

Hou Xi came, just for the previous discussion, after confirming that Li Yuan was outside the city, and was ready to enter the city, Hou Xi in the excitement hurriedly discussed with Hu Zhuang and He Ping how to deal with the matter, these days, they were urged by Zhao Ben's people almost every day, and most of the men among the people of Junyi were transferred to the city, and only Zhang Cheng's family had a surplus and could pay to be exempted from forced labor.

These days, if it weren't for Zhang Cheng's generosity, Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang would have faced the predicament even more difficult, at that time, the resettlement conditions that Yang Xiong promised when he withdrew to Xingyang became a dead letter when he arrived at Zhao Ben.

"Zhang Weng, there are some things that have to be informed, the county guard has a new order, within three days, all the men of appropriate age in the city will be requisitioned to the city to guard the palace, and the healthy women in the family should also be sent out, thinking that they will be forced to serve." Hou Xi sat down and said solemnly to Zhang Ying.

The Zhang family is a big family, and Zhang Cheng is also the father and elder elected by this group of Yangwu and Junyi people, if Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang want to plan something, it cannot be said that they must get Zhang Cheng's support, but at least Zhang Cheng should not object. Zhao Ben's rampant conquest made Zhang Cheng very dissatisfied, and Hou Xi believed that when he said this, Zhang Cheng would resonate.

"What, Hou Sima, what you said is exact, this Zhao Gou really doesn't want to live." Before Zhang Ying could speak, Zhang Min, who was listening on the side, jumped up first.

The Zhang family has been a big family for generations, especially after Zhang Yi's second Qin Xiang and Wei Xiang, they have been living a pampered and wealthy life, let them guard the city, and let their wives and children move stones, which makes Zhang Min not in a hurry.

"Sit down, what's the hurry, learn more from Aping." Zhang Cheng lowered his face and reprimanded. However, looking at his face, it is also very ugly.

Zhao Ben's this time really touched Zhang Cheng's bottom line, originally he still thought that no matter how much trouble was made in and out of the city, as long as his Zhang family lived his life peacefully, he would always be able to tide over the difficulties, but he never thought that Zhao Ben would actually come to such a hand, to guard the city, this knife and gun have no eyes, if he is killed or injured, how can he get it.

"Zhang Weng, Zhao Ben It doesn't matter to us whether he wants to live or not, there are many people in this city who want to live, when the time comes, if anything happens, Zhang Weng will have to calm down." Hou Xi smiled, and the sorrow of many days was gone, which made his whole person glow.

"Change? Sima said, "Oh, you have to be cautious about this, in case you accidentally get out of the way." Zhang Cheng was taken aback, although he had also heard of Shili who opposed Zhao Ben in the city, but when it came to really going to use knives and guns, Zhang Cheng was still unprepared in his heart, Liu Bang's army was outside the city, at least it was blocked by a city wall, if there was chaos in this city, the chaos would be together, who knew what would happen.

Zhang Weng rest assured that there will be no mistakes this time. After a few days, when Zhang Weng saw it, he understood everything. Hou Xi got up happily and prepared to leave.

"Hou Sima and Elder Hu go slowly! Ah Ping, you go and send one. Zhang Cheng commanded, and the young man, who had not made a sound, answered in a low voice, and took Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang to the gate.

Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang came to Zhang Ying, mainly to take a dozen preventive shots, that is, what actions they will take next, please don't object, at least be silent and don't speak.

"Hou Sima, in a few days, is there anyone who is coming, this person, I know Ah Weng?" The young man said goodbye to Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang, and suddenly asked.

"Well, ah, I'll find out in two days, didn't Brother Chen travel in Linji, how did he go back to Xingyang." Hou Xixu responded, and without saying anything thoroughly, he rushed away with Hu Zhuang. This big change is imminent, Li Yuan is about to enter the city again, they are surrounded by their descendants, they can't help the war, and they have a lot of things to do.

――。

Chen Ping slowly paced back from the door, Zhang Cheng was still sitting in the hall, his brows were furrowed and he didn't speak, and Zhang Zhong next to him was so anxious that his face turned red, but he didn't dare to disturb.

"Ah Ping, you come to persuade Ah Weng, if you don't speak for a long time, you are in a hurry to die." Zhang Zhong saw Chen Ping coming in, and hurriedly stepped forward and said.

In this family, it has always been the old man Zhang who is in charge, Zhang Zhong has been living in the shadow of the old man Zhang for so many years, and he has not experienced anything.

"Ah Weng, just now I saw the expressions of Hou Sima and Elder Hu, they were all beaming, if this is just a joint anti-Zhao, it will not be a big happy event." Chen Ping stepped forward and said, the old man's face must always be taken care of, Zhang Zhong can't hide things in his heart, and in addition, he does have something to say to Zhang Cheng.

"Ah Ping, you mean to say that Hou Xi and Hu Zhuang will benefit from the great changes, but I'm afraid they can't, Fan County Ling, Guan Gongcao, and those of the royal family in the city, as well as those unknown shili, are not vegetarians." Zhang Cheng shook his head, Chen Ping's words made him a little unsure.

Chen Ping is a fellow townsman of Yangwu, this grandson-in-law is his own eyes, not only has a very good face, but also studied under Huang Lao, and his knowledge is very good.

Chen Ping's face was calm, he was silent for a while, and Fang Shi said: "Ah Weng, this is just a guess, originally I also wanted to go out of the city to the camp of Wu'an Hou Liu Envoy Jun and talk about my old friends." Now, you can't rush it. ”

"Hey, wait a little longer, the matter of contact outside the city, slow down, the tragedy of Daliang is just around the corner, if there is really no way, we will never take that step." Su Niang, you care more, don't be angry for these things. Zhang Ying sighed and commanded Chen Ping.

To be the head of a big family, the scenery is the scenery, and the tiredness is also very tiring. Chen Ping's daughter-in-law, that is, Zhang Negative's granddaughter Zhang Suniang Zhang Suniang has been engaged to someone five times, but she can't marry because of such and such things, probably out of pity, Zhang Negative has great pity for Zhang Suniang.

"Ah Weng rest assured, Ping will stay at home these days and take care of Su'er." Chen Ping nodded in response. Now Zhang Suniang is more than seven months pregnant, it is the time when she can't move, from Junyi to Xingyang before, she vomited all the way in a donkey cart, if there is chaos in this city, it will not be good to be frightened.
