C67

During the escorting season, Zhang Zhou let Wang Tieshou stay in his residence for a while longer, so that Wang Tieshou could make a pair of sabers for him according to the style required by the season.

Of course, they were also worried that this season would be too lonely, so they specifically called over some potential young Yaksha members and respectfully asked around Yaksha for guidance for a few days. Yaksha was also very generous and seriously told these juniors about how to use their sabresmanship in actual combat, allowing these Yaksha elites to be completely satisfied! During this period of time, the person who benefited the most was Xia Qingyi. After a total of three martial arts spars, Xia Qingyi's martial arts had improved by a lot! An old man who was said to be a gatekeeper of a new residence always had an air of arrogance, causing Duan Ji to be on his guard. As for Yun Feng, who had no interest in martial arts, Duan Xian Ji felt a sense of dread! When Xia Qingyi had first met Zhang Zhou in the Flowing Water Pavilion with Yun Feng, she had been frightened. Therefore, she didn't want to get close to Yun Feng. The higher her cultivation, the more clear she was. Everything he had seen and heard had made him reevaluate Zhang Zhou's trump card!

The arrival of Cao Yi surprised Ji Xuejian. However, a dignified Left Attendant of the Ministry of Magic, holding Zhang Zhou's hand, was not ordinary at all. This was not an ordinary relationship between teacher and student, nor was it a relationship of official interests. It was a true expression of the affection between father and son!

After a few more days, the Prince of Ping arrived, and naturally had some understanding of the relationship between the two. The Ping Wang did not wait for the servant's report before entering the courtyard. What caught his attention were the three women who had followed him here. There was a gap in age, but from their appearance, it was obvious that they were blood sisters. One of them almost flew into Zhang Zhou's room, and then he heard Zhang Zhou screaming in pain.

"Ah, grandaunt, my butt!"

When Zhang Zhou heard that the Ping Wang was coming, he asked Daoist Cloud Feng to remove the acupuncture needles that needed to be cleared everyday, and in the end, two of them were still on his buttocks. Before he could take them out, Tang Yu'er rushed in, without even noticing, and threw herself onto Zhang Zhou's body.

It was fortunate that it was nothing major and nothing dangerous, but it scared Tang Yu'er to the point that she was crying. Zhang Zhou bared his teeth as he coaxed Tang Yu'er, while secretly winking at Daoist Yun Feng while scolding her, "How can you speak to my wife?" Yun Feng was already used to joking around shamelessly with Yun Feng, so when Yun Feng saw him hugging each other, he could only say this out loud with the whites of his eyes.

"Guan Yuniang is outside the door!"

This frightened the two of them so much that they felt like they had been caught secretly. They panicked and looked at Yun Feng in a comfortable manner!

She looked at Guan Yu-niang, who was guarding the door with a complicated expression. Not long after, the little girl called Tang Yu'er timidly lifted the curtain and walked out, bowing shyly to Guan Yu-niang. Under her gentle and heartbroken gaze, her eyes reddened as she threw herself into Guan Yu-niang's arms and began to cry.

Yang and Tang Shui'er, on the other hand, "have no need to speak of their feelings for each other." The last one to appear was Erniu, who was crying like a black bear, as well as Wang Sheng, Wei Da, and a large group of other torture camps.

He had to admit that he had seen too many things in Hezhou these days.

The Ping Wang also brought the latest news from the capital. The crown prince indeed only found out about the truth afterwards, but his act of concealment had been confirmed, and he had been stripped of his title as crown prince and was still Ning Wang. He had a lot of support for Ping Wang and allowed him to gain experience in the Ministry of Revenue.

And Zhang Zhou, Zhang Xingzhi was once again promoted by the emperor to become the main officer of the torture camp under the fifth rank, replacing Han Zhen and the other main officer of the torture camp who had been implicated by Xu Huaiyan. His achievements during this period of time were deliberately concealed. Naturally, there was no reward. However, he actually received the Pingping King's passion. Golden Silver Lane also received more business cooperation from the Nine Prefectures, so it could be considered as quite a profit. Especially when Zhang Zhou had given him those two long sabers, Duan Shiji had felt that everything was worth it! Zhang Zhou did not give him the chance to eat more and take back the saber at his waist. Duan Jiu was angry, but Zhang Zhou did not mind at all!

Although the Lu family's sacrifice had been destroyed, this time the Lu family had turned the tables and won a complete victory!

Zhang Xingzhi followed Cao Yi back to the capital to take up his duties. He left for the next few seasons. The northern part of the capital finally welcomed the first hearty snowfall!

Zhang Zhuo has taken sick leave, Cao Yi has allowed him to wait until after the April wedding before entering Beijing to report for duty.

Because of Zhang Zhou's safe return and the promotion of the bounty, the entire Nine Regions' business was very joyous, and the wedding of You Nan and Qi was held as scheduled. The injured Zhang Zhou and his son, one big and one small, were in charge of the "internal affairs" and were extremely obedient. They hadn't even had the chance to drink to their heart's content yet, who would dare to interfere in other people's "family matters!"

In fact, Tang Yu'er was happy and sad at the same time. She already knew that Zhang Zhou was going to marry Guan Yuniang in April. Although there were many wives in this era, she still felt uncomfortable. On the other hand, even though Guan Yuniang did not say anything, she was still conflicted. It was as if she was taking advantage of someone and stealing something from them. Zhang Zhou was sincere towards Guan Yu-niang, and really loved Tang Yu'er. He didn't even want to give up on her. And Zhang Zhou, who treated monogamy as law in his bones, could not help but feel some guilt towards the two of them.

It was better if they didn't meet each other. As soon as they did, there was no need to mention the hidden bitterness between the three of them. In the end, Zhang Zhou shamelessly called over both of them to have a showdown on this "love triangle"! As the clan head and a man, he wanted to be righteous and "able to eat", a gift from the heavens!

It made You Nan, Yang Xiaoluo and the others feel that Zhang Zhou, when he made up his mind, possessed an indomitable spirit, an unparalleled height, and was truly admirable!

Unfortunately, although Daoist Priest Yun Feng said it was unintentional, after he intentionally peeked from the corner of the window, the mockery on the corner of his mouth was immediately apparent!

When he walked to the door, he seemed to be mumbling to himself. In reality, he was purposely telling Yunan, Yang Xiaoluo, and Erniu about it. He wanted to see but didn't dare to do so.

"Kneeling and talking to your woman, you sure are something!"

Afterwards, Zhang Zhou refused to admit it, but the marks on his knees let everyone know! Even the little girl Ye Wen came over to ask.

"Master, what mistake have you committed? Do you want to kneel down and speak to the two matriarchs?"

"Shh, this is a secret, you know? You can't speak nonsense to others! "

"Oh, Leaves knows. Go back and tell the little bookshelf and the others. They are not allowed to speak nonsense!"

Zhang Zhou almost fell down! Damn it, the whole city knows it!

What is the biggest news in Hezhou? It must be April 10th. Zhang Zhou will be marrying two madams at the same time!

Zhang Zhou was a romantic person. In his previous life, he didn't have money, but he had gone through all sorts of hardships during his marriage. Now that he had money in his current life, how could he be simple? It was set up a month and a half ahead of time.

The Heavenly Court Pavilion in the capital was a place where the Tang Dynasty entertained envoys from all over the world. Although the occupancy rate was not high, the decorations were extremely luxurious, displaying the Tang Dynasty's bearing and culture.

In a VIP room on the third floor sat three people from the Western Tribes. The typical western features, hair slightly yellow curling, than the Tang people generally eye socket, because of the geographical relationship, the skin appears a bit rougher. Other than their eye-catching white robes, each of them was wearing a few large gemstones on their hands.

The three of them were obviously nervous and did not speak until one of their subordinates came in to report that the inspection had been completed and that they had confirmed it was safe. The three of them heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

One of them was a tall and straight looking young man. His eyes were deep and his nose was straight and his mouth was wide. According to Zhang Zhou's perspective on beauty from his previous life, he was definitely the kind of handsome man that could charm tens of thousands of young girls.

The other two were middle-aged. The young man asked one of them, "Uncle Wu Bu Mai Lang! Is our plan really feasible? "

"Tie He, now that things have come to this, we can no longer turn back. We can only persevere and continue forward!"

Wulwati, who was standing at the side, added, "That's right, Your Highness. The future of our Western Dynasty will be decided by this! "No matter what, you have to persevere. This is our only hope right now!"

The young man called Tie He was still confused, "Ever since we arrived at the Tang Dynasty, we have been targeted by the Sima family's people. If it wasn't for them discovering us too late, I'm afraid …" He still had some lingering fear as he thought of the situation he was in along the way.

Wu Bu Mai Lang nodded and said: "There is no other way. After all, we don't have any reliable foundation in the Tang Dynasty. We can only take the risk and go there!" However, the Emperor of Tang has already agreed to meet us. I think the people of the Sima family are afraid and will not make a move against us. "

"Even if I succeed in getting the marriage alliance, will the Tang Dynasty send troops to help us?"

"Tang Dynasty is a powerful existence after all. Even if we don't send troops, as long as you can marry the Tang Dynasty's princess, there will be a strong guarantee for you!" Wu Bu Mai Lang answered with conviction.

Wulwati seemed to recall something as he said hatefully, "After so many years, the country has basically been controlled by the priests. The rich families are now the accomplices of the tiger. Otherwise, why would our Rong Country be in such a miserable state?"

Ubud was clearly more knowledgeable about national affairs.

When we fought against the Tang Dynasty, although our warriors were not afraid of death, they were not as strong as the Tang Dynasty, and the peace talks after the defeat were extremely disadvantageous for us. As a result, we chose to cooperate with the countries of the West to solve the problem of lack of materials, but our country's strength was weak, and our vigilance was insufficient, allowing the holy sect to take advantage of the situation.

"That's right, Prince Iron River, if you can marry Princess Tang from the Tang Dynasty this time, even if you can get her support, you can compete for the throne with a rich family and change the fate of our country!" "For the sake of the entire Rong Country's future, you have to persevere. Otherwise, there will be no hope for the Rong Country!"

"What I'm worried about is, if the Tang knew about my situation, would they agree to a marriage? If the marriage alliance is successful, and we can't support each other from far away, and if Tang Dynasty chooses not to participate, then what should we do? "

Tie He's words caused the two of them to lower their heads in silence. They also understood that even if the marriage was successful, their hopes of success would not be high. After all, the Tang Dynasty was too far away and Metal River's power was too weak. However, they didn't even have the chance to gamble with just the power of their country.

Tie He even somewhat regretted coming to Tang Dynasty. He might as well just admit defeat and beg for his life. However, he also knew that all sorts of signs indicated that his elder brother would not spare his mother once he succeeded the throne. He could only bet on Tang Dynasty! Looking out the window, his eyes were filled with the bustling scene of the Tang Dynasty, but he was frowning!

When Liu Qingshan heard the news of Zhang Zhou's accident, he immediately rushed back. By the time he arrived at Hezhou, Zhang Zhou was already lying unharmed on the bed as he dubiously glanced at Tang Yu'er.

Especially after all these years of 'laziness', it gave him a feeling of escaping from the mundane world. Therefore, when Zhang Zhou saved him and helped him to behead his enemies, he only agreed to help him for a short period of time.

But over time, his thinking had changed. He had seen a lot of sect leaders, but Zhang Zhou was definitely the most incredible and interesting one he had ever seen! He was already thirty-five years old. The arrogance and ambition he had when he was young had already been completely consumed by ten years of wasting time. Zhang Zhou didn't care much about it and pushed him to Nanping Province. He didn't care much about it, but when the twenty thousand people crowded around him and saw the plan for his future in his secret letter and his courteous request, it was difficult for him not to be moved! Zhang Zhou had handed over the grand plan of Nanping Province to him. What kind of courage and trust did he have? There were more than 20,000 people there! The crude salt filtration technique that was simply given to him had a value of several degrees and was even more self-evident.

Putting down the trust that Zhang Zhou had for him, he was already impressed by his demeanor and spirit! Large amounts of coarse salt mines were mined and secretly filtered and stored, but they were not in a hurry to sell. Instead, they were spending large amounts of capital to build their way. It allowed him to come in contact with the actions of many of the big clans in the Southern Ping Prefecture. In comparison, he wanted to see how mighty and magnificent the business of the Nine Regions would be on the day that Zhang Zhou unveiled the hidden curtains.

Zhang Zhou had helped him get his revenge, liberating him from the drunken stupor. Now, it had even aroused his lofty ambitions! Although he was very busy and tiring every day, he was getting more and more energetic!

As long as it was a national warrior, they would surely repay it with a national warrior!

Hearing that Zhang Zhou was in trouble, his first thought was to immediately return to Hezhou. Business in the Nine Regions definitely could not go on without Zhang Zhou. As long as Zhang Zhou did not die, any price would be worth it. In the end, on the way back, he met the messenger. He received a letter personally written by Zhang Zhou, informing him that he was fine and that he had nothing to worry about. When Liu Qingshan was about to leave, he had already made arrangements. As long as everything was done according to the rules, he could continue on his way to Hezhou. It would be hard for him to be at ease if he didn't personally confirm it!

Tang Yu'er knew Liu Qingshan, but she and Zhang Shou Mei could clearly see him after he barged into the house. She was too embarrassed to say goodbye to him and immediately ran away.

Zhang Zhou rolled his eyes and complained, "Big brother! It wasn't easy for me to pretend that my injuries had returned, so I tricked her to gently protect me. Just like that, I was disturbed by you! "

"There are plenty of chances to stick together when we're about to get married! You only need that little bit of effort? "

"Brother Liu, you can't put it like that. Life is short, what could be more nourishing than love!" Oh right, let me guess! Logically speaking, it's impossible for you to miss the person who delivered the letter, because I've already left a message for you at every station. Yet, you still rushed back. But I am afraid that the fact that Miss Huyan, who is unable to bear to leave, is also one of the reasons! "

Liu Qingshan's face reddened as he shouted, "Scram!" It was a pity that his confidence was obviously lacking!

Zhang Zhou crawled up, got off the bed, put on his boots, put on his coat and said, "It's good that you came back, it's also good that you rested for a few days. In any case, there's still time, I'll have Thirteen prepare a boat. The fare will be paid! "

Of course, Zhang Zhou wasn't a stingy person, but these words made Liu Qingshan feel more natural and amiable. He did not respond to Zhang Zhou's words. Instead, he asked, "How are your injuries?"

"Heh, I'm fine now. I already said that I was just deceiving Yu'er, maybe this time I will benefit from it. Let's put it this way, catching up to you in one year is exaggerated. It's two years, right? At least two years, you might not be my match anymore! "Hahaha!"

Although Zhang Zhou knew that wanting to catch up to Liu Qingshan in the field of martial arts was a dream for the rest of his life, bragging was not against the law!

At this moment, the curtain at the door was raised and Tang Yu'er came in with a gloomy face. She clenched her fist and said fiercely: "Then, why don't you try and see if you can withstand my fist?"

Liu Qingshan laughed out loud and turned around to leave. He then heard Zhang Zhou's pleas for mercy and screams.

Liu Qingshan muttered to himself, "You are fine. So what if I have to lead a horse for you?"
