Shun Yu briefly explained General Zhang's lying about the number of soldiers and empty salaries with Xu Lan.

Seeing that his thick eyebrows were frowning and serious, he pursed his lips and said: "The teacher ordered you to lead 2,000 soldiers to the military headquarters, I thought you would probably not be able to cope with it....... But after listening to his opinions, I felt that with Yuan Zhen's Wen Taowu strategy, he would definitely be able to turn the tide and turn things around. “

She suddenly remembered that in her previous life, it was the man in front of her, who led tens of thousands of troops to force the palace, and that cold and unruly momentum could not be kept in her mind for a long time.

Then he said to himself: "Yuan Zhen will be the first general of our dynasty in the future." “

"Promise your good words." Xu Lan listened carefully, and the bottom of her heart was happy, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "You can rest assured, I am not afraid of the military revenue, I am worried about you Feng Jiu." “

"What are you worried about me doing?" Shun Yu's face was full of doubts.

Xu Lan's tone was quite heavy: "I led the troops to Ji'an City, and General Zhang had a contact, although he was friendly on the surface, but he was calculating inside, the emperor sent the teacher and me to quell the chaos, if he was really afraid of the East Window incident, he would definitely do everything possible." “

"Invited to the Governor's Palace for a banquet tonight, knowing that there are 3,000 of my subordinate generals here, how can he risk his life, in order to protect his life, he will definitely bring 4,000 soldiers, and he will not dare to enter the mansion in a grand manner, and it must be possible to surround the mansion."

After a pause, looking down at Shun Yu's shining eyes, he said: "This place is really extremely dangerous, and it is possible to lose your life if you accidentally lose your life........ I went to tell the teacher that he is not a strong man, and he will let you go with me. ”

After finishing speaking, he wanted to go to the main room.

Shun Yu felt a warmth in his heart, hurriedly grabbed his arm, and finally shook his head: "All the way out of the capital, the teacher protected me, and now that he is in danger, how can I escape by myself, and I have to stay by his side in a reasonable way." ”

Xu Lan was still waiting to be persuaded, but when she saw Shen Huan rushing to ask for her life, before anyone was close, she had already seen Shun Yu's dishonest hand a few times. He waved at Xu Lan: "I'll reply to Lord Shen, General Zhang will lead the crowd to the gate of the mansion soon, without further ado, and ask General Xu to manage the troops quietly through the back door." ”

Xu Lan gave up her hand and knew lightly, glanced at Shunyu, said take care, and then strode away without looking back.

Shun Yu grabbed Shen Huan's arm and asked with a swollen face, "Where is my pipa?" ”

Shen Huan's eyes were as wide as copper bells, he flicked his sleeves, and said in frustration: "Don't see anyone pulling and pulling, I'm still a child, and I can't stand this." ”

If it weren't for the urgency, Shun Yu really wanted to look up to the sky and smile, retract his hand and ask again: "What about my pipa?" ”

"Looking for Xu Jing, where can I know." He didn't even glance at her, opened the curtain and went into the room.

Shun Yu was inexplicably stunned by him, and asked the guards who came with him, did he eat gunpowder, and it was okay to see him with a blank face.

Where is there time to worry about these miles at the moment.

......................................

Zhang He rode a tall horse, followed by a sedan chair, stopped in front of the main entrance, raised his eyes to hang a plaque, smoky black, vaguely saw the three big words "Governor's Palace".

He didn't look back, only raised his right hand, followed by thousands of soldiers, although the illness was difficult to hide, the pace was quite fast and neat, and in a short time, the three floors in the mansion and the three layers outside the three floors were encircled.

But listening to the "creaking" sound of the two gates, opening to the left and right, he saw Shen Zetang at a glance, wearing a black gauze, wearing a scarlet brocade rooster complement uniform, a rhino belt around his waist, stepping on black and white soap boots, standing with his hands behind his back, his face was clear and smiling, and his temperament was very elegant.

Zhang He didn't dare to slack off, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and knelt on half a knee, bowed his hand, Shen Zetang excused himself, and during the greetings, he had swept the surrounding black pressure soldiers, he pretended not to know, and let Zhang He introduce the adjutant Huang Huai, Wei Yuan, and Li Zhao, who came with him, and saw that they had broad shoulders and round waists, silver armor, and short knives and long swords, all of which were hidden generals.

He ordered a charming young woman to come over and salute, and pointed: "This is the widow of the high admiral, Gu Shi, that day the traitors broke into the governor's mansion and fought fiercely, killing and looting all kinds of evil, Gu Shi hid in the camphor wood box to escape the catastrophe, and temporarily put the military camp with my wife as a companion." ”

Shen Zetang smiled and said, "The Gu family looked familiar, as if they had seen it somewhere. That Gu lowered his head and lowered his neck, and his voice was like a mosquito and flew back: "The concubine is frightened, she grew up here since she was a child, and she has never been out of Ji'an City for half a step." “

"There are so many people in the world who look similar, this official just said casually, don't be afraid." Shen Zetang's tone was gentle, with a little pity.

Zhang He does not look at the bottom of his eyes.

Shen Huan came to report that the banquet in the flower hall was ready.

Shen Zetang said to Zhang He, and then took the lead in front with his back hand.

Zhang He wanted to follow, but was blocked by four or five guards, Shen Huan bowed his hand, neither humble nor arrogant: "The official system of the imperial court in Beijing, when the civil and military generals go to the banquet together, they need to remove their armor and abandon their weapons. ”

"That is, the official system of the imperial court, and you should abide by it." It was prideful to lift Li Zhao, and he pulled out the other two axes on his waist with a smile and handed them to the guards on one side.

Adjutant Huang Huai and Wei Yuan looked at Zhang He, their faces hesitated, Zhang He secretly glanced at Shen Zetang's back and drifted away, gritted his teeth, unloaded a bronze sword, and chased forward without saying a word.

Huang Wei and the others obediently complied, Shen Huan stared at Gu with blazing eyes, and Gu chuckled: "I don't have any weapons in my family, if you don't believe it, you can search it." ”

Shen Huan pursed the corners of his mouth coldly, this woman was really cunning, Shen Erye was honest and didn't deceive me, so he snapped his fingers, and the guards led an old woman to turn over one by one, and Gu's expression changed slightly.

........................

Zhang He saw Shen Zetang stop in front of him, as if he was looking at something, he approached and looked, but there were grapevines, wrapped around a branch high, and the leaves were quite lush, but most of the purple grapes were pecked away by birds, and half of them were knocked down by the wind and rain, and they were all over the ground, with an unpleasant smell.

Zhang He only felt that this old Shen Ge's words and deeds were really hard to figure out, did he want to eat grapes?

When he was thinking in the dark, he saw that he was no longer looking, and the guard led the way, carrying a bright lantern in his hand.

At dusk, the garden is shaded by trees, and there is a kind of eerie smell.

Zhang He followed Shen Zetang and said with a smile: "This place is so dilapidated, if I know that Shen Ge Lao has come to Ji'an, you will be properly placed in the military camp." ”

Shen Zetang said: "I originally wanted to take refuge in General Zhang, but I heard that the soldiers in the battalion were suffering from an epidemic, so I had to settle here for fear of infecting myself. ”

I don't know if the speaker has no intention, or the listener has a heart, Zhang He once prevaricated Xu Lan with this remark, and now from Shen Ge's old mouth, there is always a feeling of being ridiculed, he pulled the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and said "yes" after a while.

After walking a hundred steps, the flower hall was close, but seeing that the lights were bright, as bright as day, only a dozen guards stood at the bottom of the pillars, and Xu Lan and his thousands of soldiers were not seen.
