The carriage stopped for a long time on the street corner.

Turn a corner and you'll find Zhang's ......

Zhang Chu sat in the carriage, looking at the courtyard wall outside the window, hesitating and not daring to go home.

He didn't know how to face Chiaki and Momoko.

I don't know how to tell them about Xiahou Fu.

Over the years, for the sake of the heir, Zhiqiu has been knocking on the side to let him take a concubine.

He sternly rejected each time.

Because he knows that not being able to have children is not their problem.

The problem is on himself.

Now come here quietly......

It's a bit of a bully.

"Master Chu, do you want to go back to the main altar?"

The captain of the guard in the parking space noticed the strangeness of his eldest brother today, and whispered in an understanding voice.

Zhang Chu hesitated for a few seconds, but finally said, "Forget it, go home." ”

Escape is not the way to go.

It's his fault, how do they want to make trouble, Zhang Chu admits it......

......

Inside the hall of Zhang's mansion.

Zhiqiu sat on the second seat on the left side of the hall, and gently put down the tea bowl in his hand: "Hongyun, is the master gone?"

Hongyun, who was standing outside the hall, responded, "No, you're still cautious outside......

Hongyun chuckled, shook his head and sighed, "Man, how old you are, you are still a child. ”

Red Cloud didn't answer.

This is what Zhiqiu can say.

She couldn't say.

After a pause, Zhiqiu said again: "The fourth sister was still ahead of you, isn't it a good feeling in my heart?"

Hongyun smiled reluctantly, and replied: "Madam has tormented the slave maid, Grandmaster Xiahou, she is noble, and she is a Flying Grandmaster, how dare the slave and maid be compared with Grandmaster Xiahou......"

That's what I said.

But before she could finish speaking, a mist appeared in her eyes.

The human heart is made of flesh.

She has been with Zhang Chu for so many years, although she has never exceeded the courtesy.

But she had him in her heart.

She knew that he had her in his heart.

But because of his identity, no one said anything.

It can't be said that it is broken.

It's just dragging.

It's just dragging...... It's pretty good, too.

Anyway, she just wants to be able to stay with him.

But now I see that the latter is coming from behind...... To say that there are no regrets and no grievances must be false.

Zhiqiu sighed: "Don't say that, you have followed the master to the north and south for so many years, the wind and rain have come and gone, in terms of merit, you are bigger than me, you also know what kind of person the master is...... This time, it's up to me to decide, and then you and the fourth sister will enter the house together. ”

Hongyun hurriedly shook his head: "This can't be done, I'm going to enter the door, how should the old brothers look at him......?

Zhiqiu said angrily: "What can you think? If this little thing can make them question the master's character, then it will be in vain that they have followed the master for so many years!"

Hongyun still shook his head: "No, no, no......"

Zhiqiu patted the armrest of the seat, raised his voice and shouted: "Okay, I don't care about anything when I get out of this house, but when I enter this house, it's up to me!"

Before the red cloud could speak, a crisp copper bell could already be heard outside the gate.

Zhiqiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't talk, look at our pigs, what kind of face is coming back from arching cabbage!"

Red Cloud was silent.

Soon.

The two saw Zhang Chu holding Jintian in one hand and Taiping in the other, and walked into the courtyard with a smile, and shouted from afar: "Peaches, what are ......you going to eat tonight?"

Xia Tao happily poked out a little head from the room, and said cracklingly: "Are you hungry?" Eat crystal elbows, chicken stewed mushrooms, and steamed lamb chops at night, and the pot is still hot with leftover buns from the morning, or you can deal with ...... first."

In the hall, Zhiqiu looked at his silly sister, and his delicate willow eyebrows trembled, and finally couldn't help but let out a long "huh?"

Xia Tao, who was at the door of the room, heard this, like a frightened little white rabbit, and retracted her little head back into the room with a "whoosh".

Seeing this, the smile on Zhang Chu's face stiffened, and his footsteps became a little heavy.

But then he walked briskly into the hall again, and as he walked, he gave Hongyun, who seemed to be a door god outside the hall, an inquiring look, and said, "Ruozhuo has grown so fast these days......

Hongyun got Zhiqiu's order, pretending not to see his eyes.

The smile on Zhang Chu's face suddenly stiffened, and his legs and stomach were a little tendoned......

Zhiqiu in the hall picked up the tea bowl and drank tea without looking at him.

Zhang Chu walked to the center of the hall and stood still, and his last courage was to put down the two little dots in his arms, and bowed his head with a forced smile: "Go out and play, be careful not to go far, it's time to eat." ”

Li Jintian nodded, pulled up Zhang Taiping and walked out: "Auntie, I'm going out with my brother, Aunt Hongyun goodbye......"

After the two and a half children went out, Zhiqiu finally turned his face and gently put the tea bowl on the table.

"Boom. ”

The whispered voice fell in Zhang Chu's ears, but it was the same as the shocking wood of the yamen, his body shook violently, and he blurted out: "I said, I will say everything......"

"Poof. ”

Zhiqiu finally couldn't help laughing, and there was a tendency to lean forward and backward: "Hahaha......"

Zhang Chu was moved and annoyed in his heart: "Wow, you guys are working together to play three sessions for me!"

Zhiqiu glanced at him: "Who told you to grind outside and not go home for half a day?"

Zhang Chu whispered: "I don't know how to explain to you......"

"Confession?"

Zhiqiu looked at him with a squint: "What do you want to explain, there are no chopsticks at home?"

Zhang Chumu shook his head: "No." ”

"Is there no fabric at home?"

Zhang Chumu shook his head: "No." ”

"Is it that you can't get out of bed at home?"

Zhang Chu shook his head again: "It's not." ”

Zhiqiu clapped his hands: "Then what else do you need to explain?"

She really didn't care about it.

Which man's family doesn't want to have three wives and four concubines if he has some ability?

Not to mention far away, just those warblers and Yanyan in Zhang Meng's family can make up two or three troupes!

The mule did not take a concubine, but the little ones he raised outside also bloomed everywhere, and as far as she knew, there were six or seven.

The men of their family are honest, guarding their sisters, and never messing around outside.

She couldn't even stuff people into this house if she wanted to......

And Zhang Chu's reaction today really touched her.

This matter rests on the other heads, which one is not a big thorn, and it looks like it should be?

The man in their family is one more character outside.

For this matter, he went home trembling, as if he had become a thief.

How could this be done if it weren't for the true respect for them......

......

What else can Zhang Chu say?

It can only be said that this era is really an era that is very tolerant of men.

"I promise you, this is the last time!"

Zhang Chu said solemnly to Zhiqiu.

Zhiqiu shook his head and pointed to the red cloud outside the door: "That's not possible, there is still a red cloud!"

Zhang Chu followed her fingers and turned her head and met Hongyun's panicked eyes.

In an instant, his heart turned a thousand times.

Then, all thoughts disappeared, and he said solemnly: "Hongyun and the fourth sister entered the house together...... One last time!"

It is better to say that he is both righteous and upright.

It's okay to sell it if it's cheap.

That's what he really thinks anyway.

He refuses to understand, and he doesn't want to live up to the beauty of his affection.

But I don't want to hurt Zhiqiu's hearts because of my soft-heartedness.

Zhiqiu sighed and said seriously: "You really don't have to be like this, our family is not bad for salt, and poor rice, and a few more sisters can afford to raise it, when my mother is here, all I think about is our old Zhang family, so many years, our family is still only one Taiping, if it is really because of our sisters, the incense of the old Zhang family, a hundred years later, what face do our sisters have to go down to see their mother......"

She is the head of this family, and she takes this matter more seriously than Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu smiled and said softly: "What is there to see in this, our family has no throne to inherit, it is enough to have Taiping Succession, and it is not ...... to ask for it."

He could see it.

Zhiqiu shook his head: "How can this be called forcibness? If you work harder, you may be able to ......."

"Alright, alright!"

Zhang Chu waved his hand awkwardly, and said in his heart that this woman who is a mother just can't be provoked, and she drives so openly: "I have the final say in this matter, if there is such a thing in the future, you can block it for me as soon as possible." ”

It sounds like it's cheap and good.

Zhiqiu really understood the meaning of his words...... Xiahou Fu really didn't react to this matter in advance, otherwise, he might have made it clear in advance, and there would be no such thing as now.

She sighed and said, "How did you arrange for the fourth sister and Hongyun to enter the door?" ”

Zhang Chu: "After Laba, when the time comes, I will invite the eldest sister and a few brothers to go to Yanbei Prefecture to propose marriage, Hongyun's side, I will invite all the brothers, they are Hongyun's mother's family......"

Zhiqiu bowed: "I'll arrange it." ”

Outside the hall, Hongyun's face was as red as the sun, and his eyes were hazy.

......

The marriage between Zhang Chu and Xiahou Fu was not made public.

It is because for the time being, it has not set off any waves in the northwest rivers and lakes of Yanxi.

The focus of the Beiping League's work today is still preparing for the Kyushu Martial Arts Alliance.

On November 20, the last group of people from the rivers and lakes in the northwest of Yan who were called up by the Beiping League set off for Motianfeng.

During this period, the rivers and lakes in the northwest of Yan were as calm as water, and there were no big moths.

Zhang Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

End of November.

After digesting the old part of the Heavenly Tilt Army, plus the 80,000 refugees and baggage troops temporarily recruited, a total of 200,000 troops, the Heavenly Demon Palace waved its army north.

It is worth mentioning that after the drought in Xiliang Prefecture this year, coupled with the fact that the Li family and the Heavenly Demon Palace of the Tiantian Army took turns tossing, the people of Xiliang Prefecture have died and fled, and they have gone to five or six out of ten, and some counties and counties with serious disasters have even been reduced to uninhabited ghost domains.

Xiliangzhou, it's over......

The Zhenbei Wangfu recuperated in Taibai Mansion for half a month, and also summoned as many as 100,000 refugees and heavy troops, plus the 100,000 Beiban Iron Cavalry who entered the customs in the future, known as 800,000 troops to the outside world, and the actual strength was close to 400,000.

Facing the 200,000 Heavenly Demon Palace army, the Zhenbei Royal Mansion sent 200,000 mixed troops south to build a defensive line to meet the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Place......

It's in Wuqu County!

At this point, the war potential of Xuanbei and Xiliang has been exhausted.

Even if it is the Zhenbei Wangfu backed by the Tianji Grassland, it is difficult to gather into a formed army in addition to the existing 400,000 troops.

At this point, the situation in the northwest of Yan is completely clear.

In the east, there were 200,000 troops of the imperial court to conquer the north.

In the west, there is an army of 200,000 from the Heavenly Demon Palace.

In the north, there is an army of 400,000 people in the north of the town.

The three major forces, perhaps also called the three major gate valves, the three major warlords, are each other's horns and stand on their feet.

And the Beiping League, which was sandwiched in the center by these three forces, although it did not participate in the war, it also expanded the Honghua Department under its command to 50,000.

Compared to the three major gate valves of 100,000 moving shafts.

The 50,000 horses of the Beiping League do not seem to be worth mentioning.

But in fact, the 50,000 horses of the Beiping League are the most elite soldiers and horses in the northwest of Yan.

The 400,000 troops of the Zhenbei Wangfu are composed of the remnants of the Zhenbei Army, the remnants of the Tiantian Army, the Northern Barbarians, and the baggage army of the victims.

The 200,000 troops of the Northern Army were composed of the remnants of the four forbidden armies, not to mention a series of problems such as chaotic establishment and erosion of morale, the conflict of command between Ying Yong and Ran Lin alone seriously dragged the retreat of the Northern Army.

As for the 200,000 army of the Heavenly Demon Palace, needless to say, it was an army formed by Li Zheng successively annexing the remnants of the Wusheng Palace and the Heavenly Tilting Army, even if Li Zheng suppressed it in the middle, it still couldn't change the essence of its rabble.

Only the 50,000 soldiers and horses of the Beiping League were pulled out by Zhang Chu step by step, the internal structure is pure, and the centripetal force is strong, because there are 3,000 good players supported by the Xiahou family and the Giant Whale Gang to join, and the combat effectiveness is also extremely objective, and it only takes one battle to quickly transform into an elite and strong army!

Yes.

The situation in the northwest of Yan seems to be one of the three major gates.

But the real key lies in the timing of the entry of the Beiping League!

It is not the position of the Beiping League.

The position of the Beiping League is already very clear.

Or stand on the Northern Army.

Or stand in the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Or call themselves a lineage.

Anyway, it is impossible to stand in the north of the palace.

In this regard, the Zhenbei Wangfu is also well aware.

Zhenbei Wangfu Tunbing Wuqu County, if you want to say that there is no factor to guard against the Beiping League, who will believe it?

Of course, this is a world where the Flying Grandmaster can decide the outcome of the war.

But Huo Qing and Situ Ji confronted each other.

Neither side was able to move on the soldiers and horses at the bottom.

The collusion between the Heavenly Demon Palace and the imperial court...... It's already obvious.

Huo Qing dared to make a move against the Heavenly Demon Palace.

Situ Ji dared to make a move against the Zhenbei Army.

As for the Beiping League, it is a hornet's nest.

At that time, the Kyushu Martial Arts Alliance was about to be established, and the news that Zhang Chu was about to serve as the deputy leader of the Kyushu Alliance had spread all over Kyushu.

At this juncture, unless Zhang Chu takes the lead in attacking other forces, he defines war as a personal grudge.

Otherwise.

Any non-Jianghu force that dares to make a move against the Beiping Alliance will be regarded as a provocation to the Kyushu Martial Arts Alliance!

Other words.

In this battle, Zhang Chu occupies the initiative!

He can watch from the wall.

You can also choose to enter the market at a critical moment to reap the benefits of the fisherman!,

And his opponent, even if he knows that he has bad intentions, can only defend passively.

This is a very, very big advantage!
