After Zhang Xiaochuan took care of Zhuge Ziyu's funeral, he was busy for a few days, physically and mentally exhausted, and returned to the house to close the door, just wanting to lie down and sleep and rest.

One afternoon, just squinting, someone was shaking his feet, Zhang Xiaochuan opened his hazy eyes, and saw that it was Ye Fei, he was the son of Zhou Ming and Xiao Yezi. Zhang Xiaochuan straightened up and said with a smile, "Ye Fei, I don't sleep at noon, why are you running here!" "Daddy, someone is fighting outside. "Ye Fei is already five or six years old, lively and cute, smart and clever, Zhang Xiaochuan likes it very much. At the beginning, Xiao Yezi named him Ye Fei, Zhou Ming loved the house and Wu, and was very cooperative, and later Ye Fei recognized Zhang Xiaochuan as his godfather, Zhang Xiaochuan and Zhou Ming said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Godfather, it's too raw, remove the word 'dry'," Zhou Zhou Ming replied with a smile, "You must be a 'father' to be a good person!" Zhang Xiaochuan said happily, "What's the problem then." So, since then, Ye Fei has also called Zhang Xiaochuan "Daddy", and when he has time, Zhang Xiaochuan also taught him martial arts.

"Who's fighting outside?" "Fairy, well, there's a woman I don't know. Ye Fei saw others call Ruomei Fairy like this, and he also learned to call it like this. "If Fairy Rose fights with people, is she still a woman?" Zhang Xiaochuan muttered in his mouth, thinking in his head, the women here, except for Xiao Yezi, are maidservants, and the two of them naturally won't fight, besides, how can Fairy Ruomei not get along with her subordinates, and her subordinates don't dare!" "No, I have to go and see it quickly." Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaochuan immediately got off the couch and walked out. Zhang Xiaochuan knew that after Fairy Ruomei was with her, her temperament was much more docile, and she was obedient to herself, but if someone else provoked her, she didn't do it lightly or severely, and she was even more unambiguous when she used poison. "Oh, Ye Fei, where are they fighting?" Zhang Xiaochuan was about to step out of the door when he turned around and asked. "Right in the courtyard at the gate. After Zhang Xiaochuan heard Ye Fei finish speaking, he strode forward.

When they arrived in the front yard, the figure flew over, and the two of them were fighting tightly, and when Zhang Xiaochuan saw the woman clearly, Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but the woman was Lan Ting.

At the beginning, Lan Ting was naïve and had a whim, thinking that she could change Zhang Xiaochuan, so that he would no longer love other women, only his sister and himself, and when he was in love, Zhang Xiaochuan also responded vaguely. Later, by chance, Zhang Xiaochuan and Ruomei Fairy got married, and the two were very affectionate, Ruomei Fairy warned him several times that he could only love her alone, and Zhang Xiaochuan readily agreed. Now, the two daughters actually handed over hands as soon as they met, so how could Zhang Xiaochuan not hesitate.

Lan Ting has a long sword, slashing horizontally and vertically, and her swordsmanship has improved a lot, if Fairy Mei has a long whip, the whip is skillful, just like a dragon. Seeing that the two were inseparable for a while, Zhang Xiaochuan looked at them for a while, and felt that they were equal in martial arts, and no one could hurt anyone, so he was relieved, thinking that he would not be able to meet them at the same time after all, so he decided to quietly hide aside and observe secretly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, a shout came from behind him, "Zhang Xiaochuan!" "Brother Xiaochuan." A shout came from Fairy Ruomei, and a cry came from Lan Ting, one full of anger and the other with surprise. It turned out that after the two were fighting, they had already seen him, Zhang Xiaochuan stopped, that embarrassment, that embarrassment, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Zhang Xiaochuan turned around and said with a grin, "Fairy, Lan Ting, are you trying your martial arts, right? Very good, very good! I won't bother, you continue!" After speaking, Zhang Xiaochuan just raised his feet, where is the Rose Fairy. She gave up Lan Ting and went straight to Zhang Xiaochuan, and soon arrived, and the long whip rolled violently to Zhang Xiaochuan's waist, Zhang Xiaochuan heard the wind and hurriedly slid aside. Zhang Xiaochuan turned his head again, and Fairy Ruomei's eyes widened and glared at him angrily. "Hey, fairy, aren't you comparing?" Zhang Xiaochuan said as he spoke, secretly crying bitterly in his heart. "Bigger than you!You tell me clearly, who is she?" said Ruomei Fairy domineeringly, and at this time, Lan Ting also arrived. "Brother Xiaochuan, who is she and how does she live in the mansion?" Lan Ting asked, pointing to Fairy Ruomei.

"Come on, come on, I'll introduce you to you now! This is Fairy Ruomei, and this is Lan Ting. Zhang Xiaochuan pointed to the two respectively. "Who wants you to introduce!Hurry up and tell me what your relationship is with her?" "We!" Zhang Xiaochuan said in a hurry, "I've known each other for a long, long time." Zhang Xiaochuan snorted while observing Fairy Ruomei's expression. "It's a good kind of relationship. "Is it the kind of relationship between a brother and a sister?" asked Fairy Ruomei straight to the point. "Hmm", Zhang Xiaochuan nodded. "Slap" Ruomei Fairy waved her hand and slapped Zhang Xiaochuan, and Zhang Xiaochuan suddenly had five fingerprints on his face. Zhang Xiaochuan felt ashamed, he didn't dodge, the distance was close, and this slap was very solid. Ruomei Fairy saw that the finger prints were very obvious, and regretted that she had shot too hard, but with her temper, how could she admit her mistake at this time. "Why are you beating people!" Lan Ting blamed, "Brother Xiaochuan, does it hurt?" she walked up and stroked Zhang Xiaochuan's cheek and asked with concern. Seeing Lan Ting like this, Fairy Ruomei was angry and angry, and the long whip shook, and the tip of the whip shot towards her. Lan Ting had already prepared, pushing Zhang Xiaochuan away while using the sword to deal with it, and the two fought together again for the second time.

The two have equal skills, no one can have the upper hand, Lan Ting's swordsmanship is occasionally mixed with a few moves of Zhang Xiaochuan's carefree swordsmanship, Ruomei Fairy saw that she was angry, her heart was ruthless, and her fingers flicked. Seeing this, Zhang Xiaochuan knew that something was wrong, and shouted "Lan Ting be careful!" It was still too late, Lan Ting's body was already soft, and she was about to fall, but if Fairy Mei didn't stop, the whip was slammed towards Lan Ting, but it was empty. It turned out that Zhang Xiaochuan saw that Fairy Ruomei's fingers moved, and he had already unfolded his body, and when Lan Ting was poisoned and fell soft, Zhang Xiaochuan just grabbed it, and he held Lan Ting to avoid Fairy Ruomei's fatal blow.

Zhang Xiaochuan stood still, caught the long sword in Lan Ting's hand, supported Lan Ting with one hand, held the sword in the other, looked at Fairy Ruomei coldly and said, "Fairy, give me the antidote!" "Zhang Xiaochuan, you said that it was only good for me alone!" At this time, Fairy Ruomei had already burst into tears, but she didn't take the antidote. "Fairy, I will definitely be good to you, but human life is at stake, let's not make this joke, okay?" Zhang Xiaochuan understood Ruomei's character, so he could only ask for it softly, but Ruomei Fairy was already extremely angry. "Zhang Xiaochuan, I hate you!" Fairy Ruomei shouted and rushed out of the house. "Ruomei, Ruomei. Zhang Xiaochuan shouted twice, looked at Lan Ting in his arms, and saw that she was dying, Zhang Xiaochuan didn't dare to delay any longer, and hurriedly cut her wrist with a sword, put it on her mouth, and let her suck, and then carried her back to the inner room, and used the kung fu on the "Yijin Jing" to treat her poison, thinking about the scene of treating her for the first time, and thinking of the Ruomei fairy who went out, Zhang Xiaochuan couldn't help sighing.

"Brother Xiaochuan, why are you sighing?" Lan Ting woke up and asked immediately when she heard Zhang Xiaochuan sigh. "It's nothing, how do you feel, Lan Ting?" "Brother Xiaochuan, is she the wife you are marrying?" Lan Ting anxiously waited for him to answer, Zhang Xiaochuan was silent for a moment, looked at her eyes very expectantly, and nodded. "Why is this happening, it's also here, you personally promised me, and I will only be good to me and my senior sister in the future!" Lan Ting said with tears in her eyes. She struggled to get up, Zhang Xiaochuan wanted to help her, but she pushed her away with her hand. She trembled towards the door. "Lan Ting, your body is still very weak!" Zhang Xiaochuan tried to help her, but she was impatiently pushed away. Zhang Xiaochuan had no choice but to follow her behind, watching her walk through the courtyard and walk towards the gate. Seeing that she was about to walk out of the mansion, Zhang Xiaochuan was worried and helpless, and watched her step out of the door.

"The holy decree has arrived!" shouted, Zhang Xiaochuan had no choice but to take the decree first, and after the eunuch read out the decree, Zhang Xiaochuan took the decree and hurriedly stepped out of the mansion, but there was no trace of Lan Ting. Zhang Xiaochuan turned back to the courtyard in disappointment, and the eunuch asked with a grin, "General Zhang, why do you have a heart on your face?" Zhang Xiaochuan knew that he had lost his temper just now, and hurriedly said, "There were some unpleasant things just now, some faux pas, please don't blame my father-in-law!" "General Zhang's words are serious, General Zhang is smooth, how can there be unpleasant things, isn't it a hero who is sad about the beauty!" Zhang Xiaochuan gave the father-in-law a thumbs up and laughed self-deprecatingly. The father-in-law laughed even louder. "People are not romantic, don't forget to see the emperor!" It turned out that this father-in-law decreed that Zhang Xiaochuan would meet him.

Zhang Xiaochuan changed into court clothes, simply packed up and went to the palace, entered the palace, and when he arrived outside the court, the eunuch on duty told him that the emperor was waiting for him in the imperial study, and Zhang Xiaochuan immediately transferred there.

When I arrived at the imperial study, Wang Qinruo, the governor of the council, Liang Dong, the deputy privy envoy, and Chen Yaosuo, the privy councillor, happened to walk out of the imperial study. "Yo! General Zhang has arrived. Liang Dong greeted Zhang Xiaochuan in a weird way. "Hello three adults!" Although Zhang Xiaochuan didn't like the three of them, he had no choice but to respond politely. Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo nodded slightly and left, the three of them whispering mysteriously, occasionally letting out a chuckle. Zhang Xiaochuan said in his heart, these three guys have always had a bad reputation, and there must be no good thing when they get together, I don't know who they want to disadvantage. Liang Dongxin lost his daughter, but he can still be so calm, he can laugh, I don't know how this old thing is cultivated. Thinking so, Zhang Xiaochuan went up the steps, and the deacon and eunuch led him in.

"Your Majesty, General Zhang has arrived. The deacon eunuch saluted Emperor Zhenzong on the chair, Emperor Zhenzong waved his hand, and the deacon eunuch turned around and went out. "Weichen see the emperor. Zhang Xiaochuan leaned down and saluted, "Flat." Zhang Xiaochuan stood up, Emperor Zhenzong also got up from the chair, looked at Zhang Xiaochuan fixedly, Zhang Xiaochuan also looked at him, seeing that he had not spoken, Zhang Xiaochuan had to speak first. "If the emperor has anything, just say it, so I can see my hair straight. "Brother Xiaochuan, why are you hairy, isn't there something wrong?" "The emperor made fun of me, what can I do in front of the emperor." When Zhang Xiaochuan heard this, he knew that something was wrong, looking at today's momentum, he felt that the three guys just now were coming at him. "Really not?" "Really not!" "I heard two pieces of news, both of them are about you, one good news and one bad news, I don't know which one you want to hear first?" Emperor Zhenzong said unhurriedly, but his expression and voice were very cold. "Your Majesty, please speak, Weichen is willing to hear the details!" Zhang Xiaochuan observed Emperor Zhenzong's expression and knew that the situation was quite serious. Since the two of them met, Emperor Zhenzong had never spoken to him with such a look and tone, but when he thought that he was worthy of him, his heart instantly calmed down. Emperor Zhenzong saw that his expression was natural and unhurried, so he stopped selling Guanzi.

"There is news that you are a descendant of the rebels, yes or no?" "Yes!" Zhang Xiaochuan said calmly. "Why do you want to deceive Yu Me?" "Back to the emperor, it's not that I deliberately deceive. When I met and intersected with the emperor, I did not make friends based on status. "Yes, we fellowship by temperament. "Emperor Zhenzong also misses that time, carefree, it was at that time that he met Liu E, and Zhang Xiaochuan did not make a small contribution. "Why didn't you tell me later?" "After the emperor ascended the throne, it was a crime of bullying the king, and besides, I acted without being worthy of my heart and the emperor, and I felt that this matter was insignificant. "Well, I can ignore these things, but your uncle has been making enemies of the imperial court, why don't you stop it?" "Does the emperor remember your first assassination?" Emperor Zhenzong nodded when he heard this. "That assassination was organized by my uncle, and I told my uncle that you are an emperor with deeds, and my uncle would not stop. "Oh!" Emperor Zhenzong was slightly stunned. "When I put down the rebellion in Shuzhong, my uncle died to save me. Zhang Xiaochuan thought of his uncle, tears flashed in his eyes, "Uncle died for me, isn't it loyal to the emperor? If my uncle doesn't appear, we will already become the meat of the king, where can we have a chance to quell the rebellion?" Zhang Xiaochuan became more and more excited the more he spoke, and his emotions were about to get out of control. "Anyway, I didn't do anything to be sorry for the emperor, let the emperor deal with it!" Zhang Xiaochuan said with a little anger.

"Zhang Xiaochuan, you bastard, will I deal with you?" Emperor Zhenzong said angrily, "I know something, can't I ask about it?" Emperor Zhenzong saw that Zhang Xiaochuan's reaction was very fierce, and immediately changed his tone. After a pause, Emperor Zhenzong continued, "We have experienced hardships together, and we will always be brothers! "Since the emperor still regards me as a brother, let me talk about that 'good deed' together! Zhang Xiaochuan pleaded. "That's fine. This is a good thing for you, but it is a great bad thing for me. "No, Your Majesty. "Some people say that you have a great treasure, and when you get the treasure, don't you give up and go?" In order to ease the atmosphere, Emperor Zhenzong said with a smile.

Emperor Zhenzong said easily, Zhang Xiaochuan listened, but his heart was shocked, he remembered what Zhuge Ziyu said before he died, and said with great annoyance, "Don't say that I don't have treasures, even if I do, how can I follow the emperor, follow the emperor and the officials, and have blessings, what kind of treasure do you want?" "Hahaha, I love to hear this the most, count you Zhang Xiaochuan wise!" Zhang Xiaochuan heard him say this, and his heart was a lot more relaxed. Emperor Zhenzong continued, "You are my blessed general, and you will never leave me! "Yes, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to my mission. The atmosphere eased up, and the two of them talked about the past for a while, chatted for a while, and then Zhang Xiaochuan resigned.

Zhang Xiaochuan thought about Zhuge Ziyu's words as he walked, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, the husband is not guilty, and he is guilty." Today I have deeply experienced it, Zhang Xiaochuan thought to himself, I don't know how far I can go in this officialdom, no matter what, I must be more careful in the future, and I can't tolerate such a situation again.

Since then, Zhang Xiaochuan practiced martial arts while sending his affection for the landscape, and occasionally went to Shaolin Temple or Daxiangguo Temple to listen to the morning bell and dusk drum, and listen to the monks' teachings. Summoned by Emperor Zhenzong, Zhang Xiaochuan rarely took the initiative to meet him. When Emperor Zhenzong first ascended the throne, he was ambitious, but later he did not make any achievements, and the external troubles were not eliminated, but the traitors and villains gathered around him continued unabated. Zhang Xiaochuan was ashamed of Ruomei Fairy, and went to look for her several times, but she avoided her, Zhang Xiaochuan felt more and more ashamed, he had let down so many people and hurt so many people. Zhang Xiaochuan pushed himself and others, blamed himself, and suddenly changed a lot, and he no longer indulged his feelings. Time flies, the years are ruthless, and seven or eight years have passed in a blink of an eye.
