There was no need for Zhang Kuang, who was already moved, to react, Uncle Xiang on the other side got up quickly with a reaction that was completely inconsistent with his age, and even jumped out in the blink of an eye, standing on the stone steps of the pavilion and shouting in a deep voice towards the source of the voice: "Why don't you hurry up and give the eldest lady the lamp?!" What are they for! ”

Hearing this, the subordinates who were guarding Zhang Yurou's side were trembling, although there was not much unkindness in Uncle Xiang's tone, but the two of them suddenly felt an endless chill. In fact, it's not that the subordinates of Zhang's Mansion don't give the palm lamp, firstly, Zhang Kuang and Uncle Xiang have already retired all the subordinates when they came to the pavilion, and secondly, Zhang Yurou's movements are too fast, and the matter is too urgent, for the safety of Zhang Yurou, Zhang Wu and Saidgade, who accompanied him, did not even let anyone get close to Zhang Yurou.

It was followed by more than ten heavily armed subordinates led by Qin Mo, but Liu Sheng, who was in a coma all the way, was ordered by Zhang Yurou to arrange the best guest rooms in the mansion when he first entered the Zhang Mansion, and summoned the royal doctors of the Zhang Mansion overnight.

In a blink of an eye, Zhang Yurou appeared outside the pavilion, and a group of subordinates from Zhang's mansion not far behind also arrived in a panic with torches and lanterns. Looking at each other, Zhang Yurou just glanced at Zhang Kuang, and then moved his gaze to Uncle Xiang's face, and Uncle Xiang also realized that something was wrong, otherwise Zhang Yurou's birthday had just passed, and he would not have appeared in Guangzhou Mansion overnight.

But without waiting for Uncle Xiang to ask, Zhang Yurou said coldly: "Uncle Xiang, you have done a good thing!" Shouyi was calculated, and he was found to be smuggling by the people of the city department on the spot in Fuxu Port! In order to save Shouyi, Brother Li has now been taken away by the people of the city, and Shouyi was injured and escaped by boat! ”

"What?!"

This news is tantamount to a thunderbolt from the sky, and it is more like five thunderbolts, even Uncle Xiang, who has made some psychological preparations, trembled violently, and even almost fell off the stone steps with weak legs. And Zhang Kuang, who was still pretending to be calm and sitting on the stone bench behind him, also stood up violently, but the next second, the strength of the whole person seemed to be evacuated, shaking his body and holding the stone table in his hands could not keep standing, the whole person's face was as pale as paper, and several complicated looks suddenly appeared in the originally calm eyes, panic, worry, fear, remorse, and more anxiety.

"Zhang Wenbo betrayed the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, or rather, Zhang Wenbo was arranged by Tian Gaolang, the envoy of the city, in the Zhang Chamber of Commerce from the beginning!" Zhang Yurou didn't seem to see the panic shown by the two elderly people, or Zhang Yurou didn't want to see the reaction of the two at all, but more wanted to simply explain the truth of the matter, and then seek a way to rescue him as soon as possible.

"Ah, Ah Xiang." Zhang Kuang's psychological quality is indeed not ordinary, most of his life has experienced the wind and waves, so that Zhang Kuang quickly got out of the shock, but the whole person still needs to rely on his arms to support the stone table to stand firmly, and at this time, even raising his eyes to look at Zhang Yurou seems to be very laborious, and the words he opened his mouth are even more trembling, as if it is extremely difficult to breathe: "Prepare, prepare the car, go to Yang, Yang's mansion." I want to see, see Brother Zhongye! ”

"Yes, yes! Master! Uncle Xiang, who reacted, also responded tremblingly, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he glanced at Zhang Yurou, forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart, and deliberately stabilized his tone: "Miss, hurry, help the master." ”

Uncle Xiang can be said to be worrying about the father and daughter in front of him all the time, trying every means to smooth out the gap between the two, but just as Zhang Yurou hesitated and was about to step forward, it seemed that he didn't want to show his vulnerability, but Zhang Kuang suddenly let go of the arm that was propped up on the stone table, took a deep breath and waved his hand at Zhang Yurou, the two thick eyebrows on his solemn face were twisted together, and then he said in a deep voice: "Yurou, you stay in the house and let Ah Wu follow!" ”

Even after experiencing a heavy blow in a short period of time, Zhang Kuang still quickly forcibly calmed down, and his tone was even more unquestionable, but while taking a step, Zhang Yurou raised her eyebrows, met Zhang Kuang's slightly lowered gaze, and refused in a deep voice: "No!" I'm going too! ”

"Ziyi will be fine, and righteousness will be fine!" Zhang Kuang frowned, interrupted Zhang Yurou's request without hesitation, and then gritted his teeth and shouted in a deep voice: "Isn't it just a small smuggling!" It's just for our Zhang Chamber of Commerce! Even if I don't want the Zhang Chamber of Commerce, I will protect the two of them! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yurou's body was also shocked, but he didn't expect his father, who had always valued business very seriously, to suddenly say such a thing, and at the same time, Uncle Xiang on the side also kept glancing at Zhang Yurou, and then turned around and stretched out his arm to Zhang Kuang, but what he got was Zhang Kuang's slight wave of his hand, and then Zhang Kuang, whose thoughts became clearer, added in a deep voice: "Don't go to Yang's Mansion, go directly to Jiedu Mansion!" Send someone to inform Brother Zhongye, see you in Jiedu Mansion! ”

After that, Zhang Kuang walked down the pavilion with heavy steps, suddenly paused when passing by Zhang Yurou, glanced at the other party slightly, the tenderness in his eyes flashed, and then he took another step, only to add in a deep voice again: "For you, I, Zhang Furong, can give up anything!" ”

Zhang Kuang left, Uncle Xiang followed quickly, Zhang Wu leaned over to Zhang Yurou and whispered a few words, and then pulled Saidgard to follow quickly, and at the same time told Qin Mo to take people to guard Zhang Yurou and Liu Sheng inch by inch, and not let any accidents happen.

In a quarter of an hour, Zhang Kuang appeared in Jiedu Mansion, and Yang Hongwen and his son, who had just gone to Zhang's Mansion, also got the news halfway and arrived at Jiedu Mansion first.

When Yang Hongwen and his son arrived, they had already asked the tooth soldiers of Jiedu Mansion to report it, but Jiedu made Li Zhen not know what was going on, and just dragged his extremely tired body in the study and waited for the arrival of the two friends.

In recent days, too much government and military affairs have made the elderly Li Zhen feel more and more strained, although he has drunk a cup of hot tea, but Li Zhen standing at the window still feels like a heavy head like being poured with lead for a while, so that he needs to keep raising his hands to rub the sides of his head, and the physical discomfort makes Li Zhen even suspect that he may faint at any time.

The war in Fujian in the east of the Tang Dynasty has completely collapsed, although the rebel army has also suffered heavy losses, but according to the war report from there, the rebel army has completely looted several large local rich prefectures and counties, and thus also rapidly expanded the strength of the rebel army, according to the news brought by the fleeing defeated army, the rebel army has nearly 400,000 people.

Of the 400,000 rebel army, Li Zhen controlled only 70,000 or 80,000 in the entire Lingnan East Province, and even if the two militia groups that had just been organized and established by the Guangzhou Prefecture were added, the total strength of the entire Guangzhou Prefecture was only nearly 20,000, and even if the troops of the entire Lingnan East Province were integrated, it would be five times worse than the rebel army.

However, if we do not mobilize troops, we will rely solely on the garrison strength of each state and county to meet the 400,000 rebel army, and the difference of tens or hundreds of times is tantamount to hitting a stone to kill ourselves.

What's more, Li Zhen has heard about a matter recently, and it is about his sister-in-law Li You, who served in the city defense army, actually united several middle-level generals in the city defense army to deduct military salaries, and even attracted the attention of Cao Zheng, the observer. But Li Zhen can't discipline the other party, not only because Li You is his sister-in-law, but also Li You's only son, Li You's mother is Li You's only wife at the moment, although Li You's mother Zhang is very reasonable, but Li You can't put Li You's embezzlement of military salaries in the army to the outside to talk to the other party.

There are strong enemies outside, but there are not only political enemies inside, but also housework that makes Li Zhen even more headache, and it is still an ugly thing that may be caught by opponents at any time to make a big fuss.

Thinking of this, Li Zhen felt that the cup of hot tea in his hand suddenly became extremely cold, and his heart was even more angry, and he slammed the cup in his hand on the table by the window, looking out of the window with a cold air, but it was full of sadness.

A rush of footsteps came into his ears, Li Zhen's thoughts were also pulled back to reality, looking out of the window and also noticed Yang Ru and Zhang Kuang on the way to the study, looking at Yang Hongwen and Zhang Wu who followed closely, Li Zhen's heart suddenly shook, and a sense of ominousness suddenly surged in his heart, and even the whole person froze in place as if he had been clicked, and his hands suddenly oozed a layer of cold sweat.

Is it his sister-in-law Li You? Or the Zhang family's Erlang who is not very obedient?

Li Zhen was full of doubts, stiffly moved his steps and turned to walk behind the desk, and sat down heavily on the wide solid wood chair, Li Zhen was a little weak-hearted, he was worried that the news he was about to know was too shocking, so that he might not be able to support his body at all.

It has already been reported, so Zhang Kuang and Yang Ru were not hindered when they entered the study, while Yang Hongwen stayed outside the door with Zhang Wu and Saidgade to wait, but they never thought that Zhang Kuang and Yang Ru, who entered the study, actually closed the door tightly with their backhands.

Yang Hongwen, Zhang Wu and Sai Yigade were all very puzzled, there was no one else within five steps outside the study, even if the three elders spoke loudly in the study, I am afraid there would be no big movement, but the three of them did not dare to ask the reason, and the matter was indeed very important, even if they were very curious and anxious in their hearts, the three of them could only wait patiently for the results outside the study.

After all, everything that is happening now, or the catastrophe caused by Zhang Mingzhi and Ding Li, is no longer something that these young people can hold, let alone have any way to solve it. One smuggles, one hijacks a second-class member of the imperial court, not to mention what the end of such a crime will be, and if any of them dares to come forward to help, I am afraid that they will be taken down on the spot in the name of the same party.
