In the third year of Jian'an, after Yuan Shao defeated the last remnants of Gongsun Zhan, he controlled the lands of Qing, You, Hebei, and the four prefectures north of the Yellow River. Since then, Yuan Shao's ambitions have swelled fiercely and he has turned his attention to the Central Plains.

At the beginning of the fourth year of Jian'an, under Cao Ying's continuous high-pressure persecution, the desperate Zhang Xiu listened to the advice of Jia Xu and surrendered to Cao Ying. Cao Ying took advantage of the great opportunity to pacify the subordinates. Gain yourself a good buffer. He also took advantage of the infighting of the Zhang Yang Department to obtain Hanoi County. At this time, Cao Ying's forces had reached Guanzhong in the west, Yan, Henan, and Qingzhou in the east, and controlled most areas south of the Yellow River and north of Huai and Han. As a result, Yuan Shao formed a situation of confrontation between the north and south along the lower reaches of the Yellow River. In addition, there was friction between the two sides, and the war between the north and the south began to heat up inadvertently.

Yuan Shao's generals were the first to detect the delicate situation, and said that Yuan Shao took advantage of Cao Ying's pacification of Wancheng to increase his troops in Liyang, and at the same time sent two generals to lead troops to rush across Yanjin and Baima to control the key points on the south bank of the Yellow River, so as to protect the smooth southward movement of the army in the later period.

However, Yuan Shaogang used his abdomen and did not listen to the words of the trial, but only slowly increased his troops in Liyang, but did not smuggle into the south bank.

Cao Ying got a great respite and immediately began to make corresponding preparations.

Cao Ying and Yuan Shao fought and began to enter the countdown time.

At this time, Zhang Lang was at ease in Wancheng.

After half a month of blockade, the city defense began to slowly relax under Zhang Lang's deliberate arrangement, and the search was no longer as strict as it was at the beginning. And the people are slowly adapting, and there is no panic that has begun for a long time.

In the past month, although Zhou Yu's hiding place has not been dug up, Zhang Lang still believes very persistently and waits for the best time.

The emperor lives up to his wishes.

At this time, Zhang Lang was discussing with Tian Feng and others in the mansion to analyze the form of the world.

Suddenly, an eagle guard hurriedly came in and reported: "My lord, I have found a suspicious thing in these days. ”

Zhang Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's hear it." ”

The eagle guard said: "Recently, every few days, a maid has gone to the west of the city, and her performance seems to be fine, but her subordinates feel that there is a problem. ”

Zhang Lang looked uplifted and said, "What's the problem?" ”

Eagle Guard said: "Every time that maid walks in a hurry, she looks around, as if she is very afraid of someone following. ”

Zhang Lang said: "Do you know the exact address where she went?" ”

Eagle Guard shook his head and said, "My subordinates are afraid that she will be suspicious, so I follow her from a distance every time, but I already have a rough range in my heart." ”

Zhang Lang said excitedly: "Okay, you take a few people to show me in prison, you must be careful." ”

The Eagle Guard led the order to retreat respectfully.

Zhang Lang turned his head and smiled at Tian Feng on the side: "It's been half a decade in the blink of an eye, and I miss Qiao Xuan very much." ”

Tian Feng's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and his voice was a little low: "Why don't you go and visit his old man again?" ”

Zhang Lang laughed, patted Tian Feng on the shoulder and said, "Good idea, I'll ask the soldiers to prepare their horses immediately, and we'll visit Master Qiao again." ”

Tian Feng seemed to have no intention, and seemed to remind: "I'm afraid that the lord is not so simple as going to visit." ”

Zhang Lang glanced at Tian Feng and laughed: "Of course, it's okay to just look at Xiao Qiao, hehe." ”

Tian Feng laughed at this time.

Outside Qiao Zhuang.

Zhang Lang even saved the salute this time, and without waiting for the other party's housekeeper to report, he strode forward to lead a few henchmen. Although Qiao Xuan is a famous family in Wancheng, Zhang Lang should respect it. But Zhang Lang didn't pay attention to it, and more importantly, Qiao Xuan was suspected of harboring "fugitives".

The housekeeper of the Qiao family was in a dilemma, he didn't dare to stop Zhang Lang, and he wanted to go in to report, and he was sweating profusely for a while.

When Zhang Lang stepped into the compound, there were bursts of piano sounds in his ears, and the sound was very euphemistic and low, like the twilight of the rivers and mountains, the ronin walked on the desert, miserable and helpless. The sound of the piano is high and low, as if crying, and as if crying, which can't help but make people image a picture of the desert and yellow sand in their minds. The highly rendered timbre quickly resonated with everyone, and everyone's minds began to be a little gloomy.

Zhang Lang stopped in surprise and couldn't help but listen carefully.

At this time, the housekeeper on the side suddenly used all his strength and shouted loudly into the courtyard: "General Zhang is here." ”

The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Everyone was like a dream, and at the same time, their eyes focused on Zhang Lang's face in surprise.

Zhang Lang knew that there was a big problem with this housekeeper, but he smiled and said: "Who is playing the piano inside, and I am afraid that I will not lose to Cai Yong, Yang Ci, and Ma Yuebei with such attainments?" ”

The housekeeper touched a cold sweat and said, "Back to the general, it should be the master who plays the piano inside." ”

Zhang Lang still stared at the housekeeper with a smile, but said with a hint of coldness in his tone: "Really? It's a pity that the other party half-lowered his head and couldn't see his expression, but Zhang Lang could be sure that the housekeeper in front of him must be lying.

The butler looked horrified.

Zhang Lang didn't break it, but he and Tian Feng and the others went inside. In less than half a minute, Qiao Xuan came out of it to greet Zhang Lang.

Zhang Langpi waited for Qiao Xuan to salute without smiling, and said lightly: "Lord Qiao, I miss you very much after a half, and I came to visit you again." ”

Qiao Xuan couldn't help but smile and said, "That's the honor of the grass people." ”

Zhang Lang followed Qiao Xuan into the courtyard slowly, looking left and right at the courtyard, and said casually: "Qiao Xuan, but you were playing just now?" ”

Qiao Xuan had already felt that Zhang Lang was not good, and said neither arrogantly nor humbly: "It is the grass people, which makes the adults laugh." ”

Zhang Lang said expressionlessly: "Qiao Xuan, you play very well." ”

Qiao Xuan bowed down and said, "Thank you for the compliment." ”

Zhang Lang suddenly laughed gloomily and said, "Qiao Xuan, your skin is quite thick-skinned, right?" ”

Qiao Xuan's face changed, he felt bad, and he was about to defend himself, when suddenly Zhang Lang's face changed, and he said angrily: "Okay, you Qiao Xuan, you are so bold, even this general dares to deceive?" ”

Qiao Xuan knelt on the ground with a "plop" and shouted: "My lord is wronged, how dare the grass people dare to lie to you, the general?" ”

Zhang Lang stared at Qiao Xuan, and saw that although his face was a little nervous, he was still very calm in general, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "Qiao Xuan, don't think I'm a three-year-old child, the song I played just now has a soft rhyme, a euphemistic piano, and a deep contemplation in the tone, which makes people spontaneously rise to the silhouette of a beautiful husband, coupled with light strength and femininity, this is clearly played by a woman." Does Master Joe still want to say that you played it? If what I said is wrong, then ask Master Qiao to adjust it again. Hum. ”

Zhang Lang snorted for the last time, piercing Qiao Xuan's heart like a sharp arrow, and in an instant, his face turned pale. Qiao Xuan didn't expect that Zhang Lang would suddenly come to the door after half a month, and he didn't expect that the seemingly indifferent and incomprehensible man in front of him would also know how to play the piano. I saw that his slightly trembling voice still wanted to make a final struggle and said, "The general forgives the sin." ”

In fact, Zhang Lang understands this, but he has been with Wen Ji and Yang Rong for a long time, so he naturally becomes familiar with it.

Zhang Lang waved his hand and said coldly: "Say, is it Da Qiao, or Xiao Qiao?" ”

Qiao Xuan broke out in a cold sweat, and finally sighed weakly and said, "It was the little girl Xiao Qiao who played." ”

Zhang Lang was secretly happy in his heart, but his face pretended to be extremely angry and said: "Okay, you Qiao Xuan, you are really bold, even General Ben dares to deceive?" ”

Qiao Xuanben drooped his head, suddenly raised his head, with a determined look, and said in a deep voice: "As soon as you enter the waiting door, it is as deep as the sea, and the grass people know the three flavors, is it wrong to choose the future happiness for the little girl?" ”

Qiao Xuan's words provoked everyone on Zhang Lang's side, and Dian Wei was even more angry and said: "What a bold man, dare to talk to the lord of my family like this, you don't want to die." ”

Zhang Lang saw that Qiao Xuan was fearless, his eyes stared at him, and he sighed secretly in his heart, he still regarded Qiao Xuan as too simple. Seeing that he avoided the important and light, he lifted the most important crisis, and sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy. After Zhang Lang waved, he said lightly: "Pity the parents of the world, forget it, you go in, call out all the big and small Qiao, and let General Ben see the demeanor of the number one beauty in Wancheng." ”

Qiao Xuan got up unwillingly, slowly led Zhang Lang to the hall to take a seat, and then walked towards the inner hall by himself.

Zhang Lang looked at Qiao Xuan's back and said with a pun: "Qiao Xuan, don't worry, the waves are not the same as the fishermen." ”

Zhang Lang sat in the lobby, his mind calm. Even the breathing of Dian Wei and Tian Feng on the side was wonderful. Am I really not passionate? Zhang Lang thought with a wry smile. Why is it that he is about to see the legendary big and small Qiao in history, and he can still maintain such a calm heart? Is it true that there are too many beauties? Zhang Lang was puzzled and pondered.

There was a sound of footsteps at the base of the ears.

A middle-aged woman with a graceful posture accompanied Qiao Xuan, and two girls dressed as maids accompanied two slim young ladies to come slowly. Because the two women were bowing their heads, they couldn't see their faces clearly for a while, which made Zhang Lang's heart itch.

After Qiao Xuan asked his family to salute Zhang Lang, they all stepped aside.

Zhang Lang looked at it gently.

Because of their sideways and their heads down, Zhang Lang could only see half of their faces.

Flawless white cheeks, no half of powder, blown skin, due to the cold winter, a lovely flush. And the thin and long eyebrows, like the moon hanging upside down in the night sky, charming tight.

Although only half of the silhouette can be seen, the tall and lovely Qiong nose, the black and dense hair, the ruddy and lovely little mouth, and the whole goose egg face are so coordinated, as if they are natural, but they feel extremely delicate. The two beauties exude amazing charm all over their bodies, just one side, which makes Zhang Lang's heart buoyant, if he sees the whole picture, Zhang Lang is not sure if he will be lustful.

The two beauties are wearing the same snow-white fur mink coat, covering their whole bodies, although they can't see their seductive figures, Zhang Lang believes that it will definitely not be bad.

Compared with Zhang Lang's glances, the others all widened their eyes, trying hard to see the faces of the two women, and even Dian Wei, who was incomprehensible, was itchy by this half-covered face of the pipa, and wanted to solve the face of Lushan.

Qiao Xuan secretly looked at Zhang Lang's expression, and when he saw that Zhang Lang only glanced at it a few times, he didn't pay attention to it, and couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Zhang Lang took a sip of tea casually, then put down the cup and got up. Came to the two girls and looked back and forth. Finally standing in front of them, he said softly, "Raise your heads." ”

Xiao Qiao seemed to be very ashamed, and wanted to refuse and welcome, but the two raised their heads shyly.

There is no feeling of wow!

I don't have the feeling of touching a fairy!

Zhang Lang suddenly felt that he would never forget this pair of faces in his life.

The two faces that seem to be disgusted and happy, but they are tightly locked in the center of the eyebrows, like a pair of finely carved masterpieces; The big watery eyes are like a pool of spring water, full of the spirits between heaven and earth, and like the shining beads in the sky that shock people's hearts.

When the eye contact, it is like a warm current, which makes Zhang Lang feel like a spring breeze, and the whole thing is extremely comfortable.

Xiao Qiao's face flushed at the same time, and he quickly lowered his head.

Such an expression made everyone's pity spontaneous.

Maybe they don't have the gentleness and talent of Wen Ji, nor the posture of Yang Rong, but they have the classical beauty of the Chinese tradition, elegant and shy. It makes people feel love at first sight, and they have the urge to be comforted in their arms.

Although Tian Feng and Dian Wei are used to seeing beautiful women, they still have their eyes wide open and their mouths slightly open, looking obsessed.

Maybe that's the best type of good wife in everyone's mind. Zhang Lang sighed and thought.

Compared with them, Zhang Lang's control ability is the strongest, I saw that he quickly came back to his senses and said, "Who is Big Qiao, who is Little Qiao?" ”

The beautiful woman on the left with a slightly round face said a little generously: "The little woman is Da Qiao." ”

The beautiful woman on the right with more slender willow eyebrows said with a mosquito and a fly, but it was like a heavenly voice: "The little woman is Xiao Qiao." ”

Zhang Lang nodded and praised: "Sure enough, it is the best in the world." ”

Only now, everyone came back to their senses, and they all sighed in their hearts, if they can get this wife, they will have no regrets in this life.

Zhang Lang quickly shook off the urge to tease, and turned back to Qiao Xuan with a smile and said, "Qiao Xuan, you really have the ability to raise such a pair of beads." ”

Qiao Xuan has already repositioned Zhang Lang, and at the same time admitted that he did not know enough about Zhang Lang, and there were very few people who could see his daughter still maintain such composure. He smiled and said: "The general has won the award, and these two daughters are a little thin, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to enter the eyes of the general." ”

Zhang Lang nodded, and then asked the two women, "Do you have someone in mind?" ”

Qiao Xuan's face changed, he obviously knew Zhang Lang's intentions. And Xiao Qiao is deep and simple, and his thoughts are very simple, where is Zhang Lang's opponent, I am afraid that he will be exposed without saying a few words.

Sure enough, the blush that had just faded between the two of them crawled all over their faces again, with a shy expression and a spring in their eyes.

Qiao Xuan shouted in his heart, it's broken.
