Chapter 123

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhang Xiu got up early and went to the yard for morning exercise. Even though the weather is cold and the snow is flying, Zhang Xiu still does not forget to practice martial arts.

Practice in summer and winter.

This is Zhang Xiu's insistence.

A fist down, Zhang Xiu mouth exhaled heat, all warm, don't feel any cold. After a slow walk, he came to the flat.

Huang Yueying has got up and is helping Deng prepare the morning meal.

In the morning, we eat porridge, pickles, and baked cakes.

Zhang Xiu looked around and didn't see Deng Zhan. She asked, "old lady, where's Deng Zhan?"

With a smile on his old cheek, Deng replied, "zhan'er got up early and left. He said that he would go back to Xiangyang to deal with some things first, and would not go south with the governor. "

Zhang Xiu didn't say much.

This is a good thing we said last night.

After all, Deng Zhan is a knight errant. He has taken over the task this time, so he must go back and give an account.

Soon the food was ready.

Zhang Xiu and Huang Yueying are ready to leave for the South after eating breakfast.

When he came to the door, he looked at Deng in the door and said, "old lady, when my trip to Xiangyang is over, Deng will follow me north to Nanyang County. It's lonely for you to stay in the village alone. Why don't you go north with me then. "

"No, No."

Deng shook his head one after another and said, "the old lady is not used to strange places. It's good to live here. In this village, the old woman has lived all her life and doesn't want to leave. "

Zhang Xiu didn't give much advice. She said, "then pay attention to your health. If you have anything to do, please send a message to Nanyang County."

"I know," said Deng

Her heart to Zhang Xiu, already is incomparable respect. She lived most of her life and met some officials who were domineering and oppressive. She has never seen such an approachable official as Zhang Xiu, nor such a responsible official as Zhang Xiu.

This is a good official.

She was really happy for her son.

Zhang Xiu no longer stays, takes Huang Yueying to leave, and goes straight to Xiangyang.

It's not far to Xiangyang.

Zhang Xiu and Huang Yueying were slow on their way, but they arrived in Xiangyang City in less than three days.

This road is very smooth.

When Zhang Xiu arrived in Xiangyang City, Liu Biao also got the news.

When Liu Biao learned that Zhang Xiu arrived in the city safely, he was so angry that he broke two vases one after another. His well maintained face was full of anger. He sent someone directly to invite Cai Mao to come, and immediately scolded him.

After half a sound, Liu Biao's anger was over, and then he asked, "Cai Mao, what's the matter? I have asked you to arrange people to deal with Zhang Xiu. Why does Zhang Xiu appear in Xiangyang City

Cai Mao did not explain, said: "despicable dereliction of duty, please punish the Lord."

Liu Biao said angrily: "can punishment work? If we just punish you, we can let Zhang Xiu die. You have been punished thousands of times. "

Cai Mao smiles bitterly.

His heart, in fact, is also muddled. He had already informed the housekeeper to find someone to do it. But up to now, there is no news of the success of the assassination, Cai Mao has been waiting.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu quietly, first step to Xiangyang City.

Cai Mao thought about it and said, "Lord, when Zhang Xiu comes to Xiangyang City, he can deal with him."

"It's late!"

Liu Biao snorted, not happy.

When Zhang Xiu has an accident in Xiangyang City, it's easy to suspect Liu Biao, which will damage Liu Biao's reputation.

Cai Mao asked, "Lord, what should we do then?"

Liu Biao said: "what else can we do? Step by step. Let's see what happened when Zhang Xiu came to Xiangyang. "

Cai Mao said, "my Lord is wise!"

Liu Biao said: "keep a close watch on Zhang Xiu. As soon as there is news, report it to the police."

"Here it is

Cai Mao turned and left.

After Cai Mao left the prefecture, he hurried back to the prefecture. He called to the housekeeper of his family. First, he covered his head and scolded him, venting his depression. Then he asked, "what's the matter? I want you to arrange someone to assassinate Zhang Xiu. Why did Zhang Xiu arrive in Xiangyang City, but he didn't get any news?"

The housekeeper bowed his head and explained: "master, Deng Zhan, who had previously accepted the task, gave up the task when he saw Zhang Xiu. The old slave is looking for another Ranger to carry out the task. In a hurry, no one has taken over the task. "

"Why did Deng Zhan give up when he took over the task?" Cai Mao asked

The housekeeper replied: "according to Deng Zhan's answer, after he took the task, he saw Zhang Xiu, but he was impressed by Zhang Xiu's bearing. He has already submitted to Zhang Xiu and will no longer be a Ranger."

"Son of a bitch!"

Cai Mao's face was full of anger.

He said with a cold face: "first take the task, and then give up the task. When I'm in the Bodhisattva temple, can I come in if I want to, and leave if I want to? You go to mobilize rangers to kill Deng Zhan. You have to pay for betraying me. ""Here it is

The housekeeper answered immediately.

Cai Mao waved his hand and said, "go

The housekeeper respectfully stepped down and arranged to kill Deng Zhan.

……

In the city, Huang family.

A carriage came slowly and finally stopped at the gate.

The curtain of the carriage door is lifted, and Zhang Xiu and Huang Yueying join hands. As soon as the porter saw Huang Yueying, he was overjoyed. Then he flew to the mansion and spread the news of Huang Yueying's return.

In an instant, the house became lively.

Huang Chengyan got the news, but also quickly out.

He knew that Zhang Xiu and Huang Yueying went south together, and Huang Yueying came back, which means that Zhang Xiu also came. When Huang Chengyan came out of the backyard, Zhang Xiu and Huang Yueying had already arrived in the hall.

When Huang Chengyan entered the hall, Zhang Xiu quickly got up and saluted: "Mr. Huang!"

Huang Yueying said, "Dad!"

Huang Chengyan stroked his beard with a smile, nodded his head and said, "Yueying, your mother misses you very much. Go to the backyard and have a talk with her."

"Well!"

Huang Yueying went straight to the back yard.

Before leaving, she took a look at Zhang Xiu, as if she didn't trust her.

Zhang Xiu cast her reassuring eyes, and her eyes immediately fell on Huang Chengyan's body. Her expression was calm and had a certain bearing. Today's Zhang Xiu has changed from the time he went to Xiangyang. He is already the prefect of Nanyang County appointed by the imperial court.

This is also a big official.

Zhang xiuzhengse said: "Mr. Huang, when I was in Yuyang County, I once said that when I became the prefect of a county, I went south to propose marriage. Now I'm the prefect of Nanyang County appointed by the imperial court. I'll fulfill the agreement. "

"What are you going to do?" Huang said

Zhang Xiu said: "my parents have already passed away, and my only uncle has also passed away. As the saying goes, "one day as a teacher, one life as a father, my marriage affairs, of course, is to ask the teacher to do it."

"Yes!"

Huang Chengyan has no opinion either.

Pang Degong was the leader of Jingzhou's scholars. He was the leader of Jingzhou's scholars, and the Huang family also had face.

Huang Chengyan said, "I'll arrange for you to invite Mr. pang to your house."

"Good!"

Zhang Xiu responded directly.

Zhang Xiu didn't know much about marriage, so she gave it to Pang Degong and Huang Chengyan.

After talking about the marriage promotion, Zhang Xiu digs off the topic and says that she was assassinated when she went down to Xiangyang. She says, "Liu Biao may have arranged for me to be assassinated after I entered Xiangyang. Now I'm the prefect of Nanyang. Liu Biao wants to get rid of me. On this premise, will it bring trouble to the Huang family if I marry Yueying? "

"No trouble!"

Huang Chengyan confidently said: "my Huang family is not a small family. In particular, with the advent of rice paper and quyuanli, Huang Jianing's strength was much stronger than before. Liu Biao didn't have the courage to move the Huang family. "

"That's good!"

Zhang Xiu is worried about Liu Biao's mess.
