Chapter 253 Night Visitors

At this time, Qin Qiong winked at Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan understood and walked into the yard with Qin Qiong. Qin Qiong sighed and said, "Yuan Ding, who do you think will be the one who speaks good things for me in front of the saint?"

"Why do you think someone will say good things to you? You were originally Wu Yonglang General, but now you are promoted to Xiongwu Lang General, isn't it normal?"

Qin Qiong shook his head, "I was promoted to Wuyong General a few months ago. It is impossible to be promoted so soon. Like Shi Xin, the position is not promoted, but it is normal to be promoted to the official position. For example, you did not get promoted a few months ago. This time you were promoted, but my promotion was not normal. I know that someone must have said good things for me. ◇◇↓ Xiao◇↓ said, "

"Who do you think it will be?" Zhang Xuan asked with a smile.

Qin Qiong pondered for a moment and whispered to Zhang Xuan: "I thought it was Xiao Jianjun at first, but after thinking about it, it shouldn't be him. I think it should be Deputy Supervisor Pei, what do you think?"

Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned. Qin Qiong was a little politically keen. He actually replaced Zhang Xutuo from Pei Renji. When he thought of Pei Renji secretly reporting the situation to the emperor, he himself heard Pei Ju talk about it and found out that Pei Renji's other secret identity.

Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "Maybe there is this possibility. After all, the Grand Marshal was awarded a month ago. At that time, the Supreme Master should have decided to let Deputy General Pei take over the position of Grand Marshal. Deputy General Pei wrote a military newspaper to the Grand Marshal this month ago, and must have mentioned Brother Shubao in particular, so the Supreme Master decided to promote you. I think this is the possibility."

Qin Qiong nodded. Zhang Xuan's inference was reasonable. It should be that way. At this time, You Junda's angry shout came from the room. Qin Qiong was really worried and hurried back to the room.

Zhang Xuan did not go back, his face changed a little. Just now, he suddenly thought of a question, why was Qin Qiong promoted to General Xiong Wulang?

It seems impossible to just use Pei Renji to say good things in front of the saint as a reason for Qin Qiong to be promoted. Who is Yang Guang? How could he promote Qin Qiong just because Pei Renji says good things?

There must be a deeper reason here. Pei Renji's evaluation of Qin Qiong would never be as simple as saying a little or two of good things.

Zhang Xuan has already realized Yang Guang's real purpose, and I'm afraid Yang Guang wants to use Qin Qiong to check and balance himself.

Pei Ju is right. Once he is promoted to Tiger General, Yang Guang will stare at him.

"General!"

A personal soldier of Zhang Xutuo walked forward quickly and bowed, "Someone is looking for the general outside the door, and he said his surname is Pei."

Zhang Xuan was stunned. Who could this be? He quickly walked out of the gate and saw a man standing on the steps outside the gate, wearing a white Confucian robe and a gauze hat, but it was Pei Xin.

"So it's Mr. Pei!"

Zhang Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time."

Pei Xin smiled slightly and said, "Congratulations to the general for promotion!"

“For me, isn’t it the same thing as whether I’m promoted or not?”

"This is true. What arrangements will General Zhang have for noon tomorrow?" Pei Xin asked with a smile.

Zhang Xuan shook his head, "There are no arrangements for the past two days."

"That's good. I'll invite my son to the mansion for a simple meal tomorrow at noon. I wonder if he can appreciate his face?"

"No problem, is it what Mr. Pei means?"

Pei Xin laughed, "It's not my grandfather's treat, it's my second grandfather."

Zhang Xuan was slightly stunned. Pei Yun invited him, why is this? He didn't think too much and quickly smiled and said, "No problem, I will definitely arrive on time at noon tomorrow. I don't know where the mansion is?"

"General, don't worry. I will come to pick up the general tomorrow at noon. I will declare first that the general should not prepare anything, just need someone to go."

Zhang Xuan nodded. "Since I say that, I'm not polite."

Pei Xingong bowed and left. Zhang Xuan looked at him and walked away, feeling a little surprised. How could Pei Yun come to invite him? He wanted to talk to Pei Ju about Pei Renji. I don’t know if he can meet Pei Ju tomorrow.

Because You Junda was in a bad mood, everyone could not bear to stimulate him anymore, so they canceled the celebration that they had planned to go out for dinner and drinks, but Zhang Xuan did not go out, but stayed in Zhang Xutuo's mansion to write a letter to Wei Yunqi.

Zhang Xutuo's new mansion covers an area of ​​30 acres and has many rooms. His wife and children are not in Luoyang, which makes the house basically empty. Zhang Xuan and others live in the East Courtyard and live in three small courtyards, each with their own room.

Zhang Xuan and Yuchi Gong lived in a small courtyard together, but at this time Yuchi Gong, Luo Shixin and Pei Xingyan went out shopping and had dinner together. The yard was very quiet. Zhang Xuan sat in front of the window and was writing a reply to Wei Yunqi.

Just this afternoon, Zhang Xuan received a letter written by Wei Yunqi, telling him about some of the situation in Beihai County. Without Zhang Jin's threat, the governments of various counties in Beihai County began to gradually recover, concentrated in Yidu, and the people of Linzi County also returned home one after another. The government provided food subsidies so that they could survive the resignation of the blue and yellow areas.

However, Zhang Xuan was more concerned about the establishment of militias. When fighting against Zhang Jin's army's invasion of Beihai, Linzi County temporarily mobilized thousands of militias to effectively resist Zhang Jin's army's siege. This allowed Zhang Xuan to see another way, establish militias, implement the whole people's troops, so that the people can protect themselves.

In addition, Zhang Xuan also prefers the population settlement plan of Qi County, establishing a central city and building a small county town around it. Once a thief invades, the people can quickly withdraw into the central city. However, if Beihai County imitates Qi County, it will inevitably arouse the court's vigilance. The court will think that it is controlling Beihai County, and he has to consider this risk.

At this time, the footsteps came from the yard. Zhang Xuan thought it was Yuchi Gong who had returned. He did not look up, but soon he felt something was wrong. The footsteps were very light, as if they were a woman's footsteps. He raised his head and looked out the window. He saw a little girl walking into the yard. She was about eleven or twelve years old, wearing a double bun and a white and round face. Zhang Xuan immediately recognized her. It turned out to be his little maid A Yuan.

He was overjoyed and immediately walked out of the yard, "A Yuan, why are you here?"

A Yuan whispered her lips and threw herself into Zhang Xuan's arms and cried, "Young Master, why don't you tell me when you come back?"

Zhang Xuan patted her head gently, feeling a little apologized. He has been busy since he came back and didn't care about this little girl at all. "Stop crying, I'm going to see you in two days."

A Yuanman's face was in tears and his eyes were red, "You didn't think of me! If someone hadn't gone to the store to check it out today, how could he know that you've come back?"

Zhang Xuan wiped away the tears from her face and smiled, "We go into the house to talk, it's cold outside!"

He pulled the little girl into the room, poured her a cup of hot water and said with a smile: "How did you find me?"

"Didn't Brother Wu Gang raise horses for you?"

Zhang Xuan then suddenly realized that he looked at A Yuan again. She hadn't seen her for a few months. She grew taller. She wore a thin satin green silk skirt, embroidered cloth shoes, and a pair of gold bead earrings hung on her earlobes. Her skin was white and red, and she became more watery. "Well! She was well raised." Zhang Xuan nodded with a smile.

Ah Yuan blushed and pouted and said, "What does it mean to raise well? He is not a pig."

"By the way, will the young master come back to attend that hero meeting?"

"How do you know?"

"Miss Lu said it! She said you should come back to participate in the Heroes Club. Young Master, why don't you ask her how?" A Yuan asked in a low voice.

Zhang Xuan's expression was a little unnatural. Time gradually diluted his longing for Lu Qing. Many times, Zhang Xuan also felt that there was a deep gap between him and Lu Qing, which was the obstacles to the door of famous gentry. Being a good family is the marriage principle between gentry and gentry. It has been strictly followed for hundreds of years. Even if Lu Qing likes him, it is difficult for her to cross this gap with her personality.

Zhang Xuan understood the concept of family status in this era more and more deeply. Luo Shixin was such an excellent man. In the end, the Jia family married his daughter to the Yan family, rather than choosing Luo Shixin, a poor child.

What's more, the family of the Lo family may not be able to be able to support Zhang Xuan. More importantly, Zhang Xuan doesn't want to bend over to this family either.

Zhang Xuan smiled and asked, "How is she?"

A Yuan slowly widened his eyes, "Young Master, how can you be so cold? Miss Lu misses you so much and waits for you, but you are actually."

A Yuan said indignantly: "Then you know that Mr. Cui went to Lu's house twice to propose marriage, and even Mr. Lu couldn't refuse. He went to ask the girl for advice. The girl fought to the death, so Mr. Lu did not agree to the Cui family. If you don't even value the girl, then she would be so pitiful!"

Zhang Xuan was shocked. He didn't expect that Lu Qing would still miss him like this, without any change. He suddenly felt very ashamed and said for a while: "She really refused the Cui family's proposal twice?"

"Of course, the girl has only four words to you."

Ah Yuan stared at Zhang Xuan and said dissatisfiedly: "Unforgettable! Do you understand? She kept the letter you wrote to the girl."

Zhang Xuan felt more ashamed and apologized: "I'm too busy. You know, Shandong has been fighting, I'm in war all day long, and I really don't have the energy to think about other things."

These words relieved A Yuan's indignation. She thought for a while, "Then when will you go to Lu's Mansion to see it? Will it be fine tomorrow?"
