On this day, Zhang Xiaochuan went to Zhao Defang's house to pay respects, and the servant went in to report, but Zhao Defang personally greeted him. Zhao Dechang warmly took Zhang Xiaochuan's hand, and said while giving way to the inner hall, "The distinguished guest has arrived, and you are not welcomed, please don't be surprised." "The prince is so polite, you really don't dare to be a big driver!" "Wu Zhuangyuan, you are the dragon and phoenix among people, this king knows that you will definitely get ahead." You and I have known each other for a long time, and now we are both ministers of the same palace, why don't you dare to be?" Hearing Zhao Dechang say this, Zhang Xiaochuan hurriedly gave in. Entering the hall, the two of them were noisy for a long time, Zhao Defang sincerely wanted to keep Zhang Xiaochuan to eat in the prince's mansion, but Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't refuse, so he stayed.

Now that the wine and food were ready, Zhao Defang withdrew from everyone and talked with Zhang Xiaochuan alone. Zhao Defang didn't have the prince's shelf at all, he personally added wine and food for Zhang Xiaochuan, which made Zhang Xiaochuan very unhappy.

"I have long heard that Corporal Lixian of the prince is so kind to Xiaochuan today, Xiaochuan is ashamed. "Wu Zhuangyuan has won the award, but it is just the love of the world. Why should you be polite between you and me? In the future, it would be nice if Wu Zhuangyuan could treat this place as his home. Haven't you and the crown prince always been called brothers? If we fall in love like this, why don't we also make friends as brothers in the future, what do you say?" "Thank you, Lord, I'm just afraid。。。。。。 "I didn't expect Zhao Defang to be so crisp and happy. "What are you afraid of?" Don't you look down on this king?" "How dare Xiaochuan!" "It's good if you don't dare," Zhao Defang said with a smile, "From now on, we will be brothers." Wu Zhuangyuan is the best among the people, I don't think you will live under the people for a long time. I didn't expect that you would win the martial champion so quickly, and you will definitely rise to the top in the future. This king has wanted to befriend you for a long time, but he has never had a chance, and today he finally got his wish. After speaking, Zhao Defang laughed happily. Zhao Defang is so bold and has such a humble attitude, Zhang Xiaochuan is very grateful. The two of them talked very speculatively, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, and drinking even more happily.

When I came back from the prince's mansion, I recalled that Zhao Defang was gentle and elegant, humble and polite, and Zhang Xiaochuan was also very happy. Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't help it, so he chose another day to invite Zhao Defang to come to the Zhuangyuan Mansion as a guest, and he also specially invited Zhao Dechang and Zhou Ming to accompany him.

During the banquet, Zhang Xiaochuan also introduced Zhou Ming to Zhao Defang. "Although Brother Zhou is my housekeeper, we have always been very good brothers. "Xiaochuan's brother, of course, is also our brother. "Yes, we're all good brothers. Zhao Defang said boldly, and Zhao Dechang also echoed. "Come on, come on, drink, our brothers must have a good drink. "Well, then don't get drunk and don't go home. "Four people, you persuaded me to let me, talked and laughed, drank for two hours, and chatted for two hours. Since then, they have been called brothers in private, and when they have leisure time, they often travel together and feast together.

A few days later, someone sent an invitation to Zhang Xiaochuan. Zhang Xiaochuan looked at the person who sent the invitation, and always had a sense of déjà vu. Zhang Xiaochuan felt that the man was extremely arrogant in his bones, although he was trying to lower his posture as much as possible on the surface. After opening the invitation, Zhang Xiaochuan glanced at the name on it and saw that the signature on it was Wang Jien.

Zhang Xiaochuan immediately remembered that when Zhao Dechang went to see Liu E for the first time, it was this person who took the lead.

When he was a child, Zhang Xiaochuan also heard from his uncle that Wang Jien led the officers and soldiers to suppress the uprising. Wang Jien is ruthless and cruel. Wang Jien was very heavy, killing many civilians who rebelled. To a certain extent, Wang Jien was the enemy of the insurgents.

Wang Jien carried heavy soldiers and lived in Chengdu for a long time. During this period, Wang Jien was arrogant and majestic, and he often feasted and drank with his subordinates and cronies. Every time he travels, Wang Jien is hugged from front to back, escorted by cavalry, and accompanied by drum music. Wang Jien's servants were also arrogant and bullying. Soldiers plundered money, and rape of ** women happened from time to time.

Zhang Xiaochuan often heard his uncle talk about Wang Jien's actions when he was young, and although he didn't hate him much, he didn't have a good impression of him. Coupled with seeing it in person, Wang Jien's subordinates were so arrogant in the capital, and they couldn't say anything disgusted in their hearts. Zhang Xiaochuan snorted coldly in his nose and casually dropped the invitation to the ground.

The servant, after listening to Zhang Xiaochuan's reply, went back to resume his life. At this time, seeing that Zhang Xiaochuan actually made such a move, how could the evil slave who had always been in his eyes be willing to do good. He pointed to the invitation on the ground, and said to Zhang Xiaochuan with self-retention, "May I ask Wu Zhuangyuan, I don't know what you mean?" At this time, Zhou Yiming, who was on the side, saw all this in his eyes, and expected that Zhang Xiaochuan's move must have a deep meaning. Zhou Ming said to him, "Can't you see, this invitation was blown down by the wind." ”

Zhang Xiaochuan didn't answer, but Zhou Ming actually pushed the responsibility for Zhang Xiaochuan's throwing away the invitation to Feng. "It is often said that there is a master, there is a slave, and you are ruthless!" The servant, in a fit of rage, did not know what to say, but uttered such a sentence, and then grabbed the invitation from the ground, and went away in a rage.

"People often say that it depends on the owner to beat a dog, what happened to Wu Zhuangyuan today?" Zhou Zhou Ming looked at the back of the servant and asked Zhang Xiaochuan in confusion. "I'm going to fight the owner of this vicious dog today!"

As soon as Zhang Xiaochuan's voice fell, someone came in to report that Lord Liang had sent an invitation. "Which Lord Liang?" "Privy Counsellor, Lord Liang Dongliang." "Oh" After listening to the servant's report, Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't help frowning. It turns out that this Liang Dong has always had a bad reputation in officialdom. Zhang Xiaochuan didn't want to have a relationship with him, but these people took the initiative to come to the door.
