Leaving the Hou Mansion, Zhang Xiu walked towards a mansion not far away.

Although the Marquis of Anguo Mansion reserved a guest room for himself, considering his aunt Zou's family, Zhang Xiu still purchased a two-hall mansion around the Hou Mansion and hired several servants and maids. While the outer few rooms are used for their own residence, they can also be used as study rooms, and the inner rooms are for the sister-in-law Zou to live in.

"Yovi is back!"

Hearing the sound, Zou came out of the inner room, and when he saw Zhang Xiu stepping through the door, a look of joy suddenly appeared on the delicate jade countenance.

"I've seen my aunt."

Zhang Xiu greeted Zou and handed the robe to the maid on the side.

"Yuzhu, tell the back kitchen, just say that the general is back, let them heat up the meal, be quick!" After instructing the maid, Zou looked at Zhang Xiu with a smile, "Today I asked the kitchen to make your favorite sauce beef, and you will have to eat more in a while." This way of practicing martial arts is the most energy-consuming, and it is not possible to make up for it. ”

"Aunt Lao is bothered."

"You're still polite to your aunt?" Zou glanced at Zhang Xiu with slant disdain, and said angrily, "If you feel sorry for your aunt, marry a wife and have children as soon as possible, and leave a seed for the old Zhang family." In this way, in the future, my aunt and I will see your uncle underground, so that I can have an explanation, so as not to fall into your uncle's complaints. ”

Zhang Xiu touched his head and didn't answer, just "hehe" and smirked.

In his heart, he is still young, and he is not in a hurry to marry a wife and have children, and making contributions is the top priority. The eldest husband should be on the battlefield, not indulged in the bed.

However, he didn't dare to tell his aunt about this idea, otherwise he would have to eat and hang.

"Well, you bastard...... Forget it, eat! ”

Seeing Zhang Xiu's appearance, Zou didn't know what this kid was thinking, glared at him hatefully, and pushed the sauce beef in front of him.

While eating, Zou suddenly remembered something and asked out loud:

"By the way, Youwei, Auntie was in high spirits when she saw you coming back, isn't there something happy in the Hou Mansion, and the little Hou is going to get married?"

Zhang Xiu was feasting on the sauced beef, and when he saw Zou asking, he subconsciously replied:

"There is indeed a happy event in the house, but ......"

When Zhang Xiu said this, he suddenly remembered Wang Pu's words in his mind, and hurriedly closed his mouth.

"But what?" Zou asked, but saw that Zhang Xiu just shook his head, and suddenly felt a little angry in his heart, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Okay, you Zhang Youwei, what's the matter, what kind of big deal is this, and you have to hide it from my aunt and me?" ”

"Auntie still don't ask." Zhang Xiu said with a bitter face.

"Hey, Ah Xiu, you said this, Auntie, I'm more curious."

The Zou family, who was a little annoyed, didn't even call Zhang Xiu's character directly, and called his nickname.

"Auntie......"

Zhang Xiu's handsome face became more bitter.

He didn't like the nickname given to him by his uncle Zhang Ji when he was a child.

It is said that Zhang Ji wanted a daughter very much, but he had no children under his knees, so he gave his nephew Zhang Xiu the nickname "A Xiu", plus Zhang Xiu was already handsome when she was a teenager, and it was easy to see that she was a girl if she didn't look closely.

Zhang Xiu hated this nickname, but he beat up the guy who used "Ah Xiu" to make fun of himself.

But now, in the face of the Zou family, his only elder, Zhang Xiu smiled bitterly.

In the end, in desperation, Zhang Xiu had to choose to compromise, talk about the matter, and instructed Zou not to talk about it with others, and Zou naturally agreed.

However, when they finished dinner and returned to their rooms, Zou sat on the bed frowning and pondering.

In the end, she still made up her mind, found a pen and paper, and wrote by candlelight.

Dead.

A cry like a night owl suddenly sounded.

Soon, a dark shadow fell from the sky and landed outside the window of the Zou family's boudoir.

"Crunch."

The moment the window was gently pushed open, a dark shadow flew into the room.

However, at the time of tea, the window was opened again, and the black shadow rose to the sky and disappeared without a trace, and the small courtyard was silent again.

All this did not alarm anyone.

…………

The north bank of the Jianing River.

Outside the heavily guarded barracks, Wu Yizhi turned over and dismounted, then walked into the barracks and walked towards the big tent of the Chinese army.

"Yizhi asks to see the general!"

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Jingming, who was sitting on the Hu bed holding a military book and reading carefully, heard the sound outside the tent and said with a smile:

"Yizhi is back? Let him in! ”

The guards who got the order stood sideways to the side and lifted the curtain for Wu Yizhi.

"Wu sacrificial wine, please come in."

Looking at Wu Yizhi who came in from outside the tent, Huang Jingming stretched out his hand and pointed to the chair beside him.

"Sit."

"General Xie gave me a seat."

As he spoke, Wu Yizhi sat on the chair without seeing it.

Looking at the other party's comfortable expression that was almost moaning, Huang Jingming said angrily:

"You kid, you've never been polite to an old man. Let's talk about it, how is it over there? ”

"Hehe, fortunately, I don't lose my life."

Wu Yizhi smiled and told Huang Jingming the content of the agreement.

"You kid, you're going to do your own good!" Huang Jingming listened, and helplessly reached out and rubbed his forehead. "For the sake of things doing well, the old man won't bother with you."

"You know that, General." Wu Yiyi spread his hands and pretended to be helpless, "Although the drunken gold building is a frequent visitor, it is not cheap. The lowly ones are basically all filled in there. This thousand gold, at most, is enough to live there for half a year. ”

Wu Yizhi's words made Huang Jingming so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

"Hmph, if you are relying on the old man, you should find someone to tie up your heart ape. At your age, what is not good to learn, go and learn to sleep in the willows! ”

Although he Huang Jingming had a romantic relationship when he was young, he was not like Wu Yizhi, who took gold instead of gold, and used it as a copper plate flower.

He is also ready to wait for himself to entrust the aftermath to this kid after a hundred years!

"General, this is just a hobby, and you can't change it."

Wu Yizhi grinned, not taking his boss's words to heart at all.

"What do you want the old man to say about you?"

Huang Jingming pointed at Wu Yizhi, then sighed and said:

"Forget it, as soon as you say it, you kid will get angry, don't say it. Speaking of going back to Taihe Mansion, I only saw Zhao Yu when he was a child, how is it now? Also, isn't Li Zixin the queen, why did she finally become the imperial concubine? ”

As he spoke, Huang Jingming's eyes gradually narrowed.

"You kid met an opponent in the Marquis of Anguo's mansion?"

When it came to business, Wu Yizhi's expression did not change from the hippie smile, but became extremely serious.

"The general candle shines for thousands of miles, Yizhi did meet an opponent in the Hou Mansion, and even these things were not discussed with the little marquis, but with the king Pu Wang Wenbo. This little marquis is young and vigorous, and he is not to be afraid, but Wang Pu can't take it lightly. ”

"It's not about talking to An Guohou, that is, the Wang Pu in your mouth is Zhao Xiaozi's henchman?"

Huang Jingming rubbed his chin, and there was an interested look in his eyes.

"Can you bring him over for the old man's use in the future?"

Wu Yizhi frowned and thought for a long time before nodding and saying:

"I'm not too sure about my humble position, but I'm willing to try my best."

"Well," Huang Jingming nodded, "This matter is not in a hurry, and it is not too late to wait until Zhao Xiaozi enters Beijing to succeed to the throne." Even if you can't bring him over, you must not let him be used by Zhao Xiaozi. As for sending cavalry to escort it, the old man should go down, so let Fan Zhen lead a song of personal guards to escort it. ”

Huang Jingming's elite guards are about 1,000 people, all of whom are good hands selected by him personally from the army, not only are there no shortage of daily practice resources, but also ask Momen disciples to tailor armor and weapons for them, Huang Jingming even awarded all the martial arts exercises he collected, and it took nearly five million taels of silver to train them, which is one of the hole cards that Huang Jingming relies on the most.

Sending a song of 400 people to escort Zhao Yu into Beijing at one time shows the importance he attaches to this matter.

In addition, Fan Zhen, who led this Qu guard, is even better in the army, in terms of martial arts alone, looking at Huang Jingming's command, he is also a strong opponent.

The two chatted for a while, and Wu Yizhifang got up to say goodbye.

"Yizhi, everything in the army has been decided, you don't need to worry about it, you can rest for one night, and go directly to Shenjing tomorrow morning. By the way, on the way, I went to Suining, the capital city of Yongquan Mansion, and told Zixin about getting married, so that she could prepare in advance. ”

Wu Yizhi, who was just about to step out of the big tent, heard this, and his feet suddenly softened, and he almost fell to the ground.

Go and see that little aunt and grandmother, or kill me......

Hearing the long sigh outside the tent, Huang Jingming was unexpectedly in a good mood.

Sure enough, happiness will only transfer, not disappear.
