After returning from Langya County, Zhang Xuan had no time to return to Yidu County, so he went directly to Linzi County. When he solved the crisis caused by Wang Shichong's southern invasion, nearly ten days had passed.

That morning, Zhang Xuan led 500 cavalry and 1,000 soldiers to guard more than a hundred mule carts back to Yidu County. The mule carts were filled with white-haired elderly people, with more than 700 people. Most of them finally chose to stay in Yidu County and refused to return to Qi County. Considering that there were originally several charity villages in Yidu County, Zhang Xuan decided to place these elderly people in Yidu County and the government would support them.

When the team arrived in Yidu County, Zhang Xuan asked Yuchi Gong to lead the soldiers to cooperate with the government to resettle these old men, and he returned to the county town first.

Compared with before going to Langya County, Yidu County has basically not changed much, but there are many people who have moved from Qi County on the streets and alleys. The ox carts and mule carts are crowded with the county town. Many houses that were originally empty because the people returned to their hometowns are full of people. The city that has just become more loose has become crowded again.

Zhang Xuan had just arrived at the county yamen. Before he had time to dismount, Fang Xuanling ran out of the county yamen and whispered to Zhang Xuan. Zhang Xuan was stunned and asked hurriedly: "How long has he been here?"

"I arrived yesterday. Bei Zhi accompanied him to the official school for a while. Today he said there was something private."

The visitor who surprised Zhang Xuan was naturally Lu Zhuo. As the Imperial College Priest in charge of education affairs in the Great Sui Dynasty, he had completed the sacrifice to the Confucius Temple in Qufu, and turned north and inspected Beihai County by the way.

Of course, Zhang Xuan also knew what Rou Zhuo’s private affairs were? But he didn’t expect Rou Zhuo to come so quickly, but no matter what, he could no longer escape and could only face the future Lord Taishan.

Zhang Xuan did not go to Lu Qing first, but instead came to the official school, and Lu Zhuo temporarily lived in the official school.

The official school is not far from the county government office. It was originally suspended for three years due to the chaos in the current situation. Thanks to Wei Yunqi's efforts, the official school resumed its operation.

At present, more than 100 students from Beihai County are studying in the official school. Zhang Xuan came to the gate of the official school guest house, but unexpectedly heard Lu Qing's voice coming from inside. He was very excited. He seemed to be arguing with his father.

Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment, stopped, and listened carefully to the quarrels coming from the yard.

"My daughter will never follow her father back. I would rather die than marry the Cui family!"

"I didn't say I wanted to marry you to the Cui family. In fact, the Cui family has canceled the proposal. You left home and ran away from marriage. Do you think the Cui family can accept it? As a father, I just don't worry about your safety, so I came here thousands of miles and hope you can go home with me."

Lu Qing's tone was excited. But Lu Zhuo was always gentle and did not get angry with his daughter, which was beyond Zhang Xuan's surprise.

Zhang Xuan knocked on the yard door, but the door did not close, leaving a crack, and he pushed the door open and walked into the yard.

In the yard, the father and daughter stood under a tree, two meters apart, as if an invisible object separated them.

Zhang Xuan's coming in surprised the father and daughter at the same time. Lu Qing stepped forward excitedly and said, "Brother Zhang, when did you come back?"

"I just arrived."

Zhang Xuan smiled and said to her: "Let me talk to my uncle!"

Lu Qing nodded silently, looked back at his father, and turned around and walked out of the yard.

Only Zhang Xuan and Rou Zhuo were left in the yard. Rou Zhuo looked at Zhang Xuan with complicated eyes, nodded and said, "Get in the house and talk!"

The two walked into the lobby and sat down. Lu Zhuo poured Zhang Xuan a cup of tea, "This time I was an excuse to come to the Confucius Temple to worship, and passed by Beihai County, but my nephew should know what I want."

Zhang Xuan apologized: "I am really sorry for what I want to love!"

"I have a responsibility for this matter. I have not taken my daughter's favor. In addition, I want to thank you for your care for Qing'er during this period."

Rou Zhuo was originally coming in anger, but what he saw and heard along the way made him gradually change his attitude towards Zhang Xuan. More importantly, his daughter was determined and refused to go back with him. If he wanted to successfully bring his daughter back, he could only rely on Zhang Xuan to persuade him. So Rou Zhuo finally decided to face the reality and give up preparing to attack Zhang Xuan.

Rou Zhuo's attitude was a little beyond Zhang Xuan's expectations. He was ready to face Rou Zhuo's questioning, but Rou Zhuo had no intention of asking for guilt at all, which made Zhang Xuan secretly relieved.

"Take care of Miss Lu is the responsibility of the younger generation, so uncle doesn't have to be polite."

Then both of them fell silent, and no one knew how to speak. Lu Zhuo pondered for a while and said, "This time I plan to bring Qing'er back to the capital, but she refused to go back with me. I hope my nephew can persuade her."

"I'm afraid it's because of the Cui family. She ran away from home because she didn't want to marry the Cui family. I hope my uncle can understand this."

Lu Zhuo smiled bitterly, "Even if I go to ask the Cui family, the Cui family will not accept this marriage. The proposal has been cancelled. The Cui family is no longer a problem. I explained it repeatedly to her, but she still refused to go back with me. Qing'er's temper is even more stubborn than that of a cow."

"Why did my uncle think Ling Ai still refuse to go back?"

Rou Zhuo looked at Zhang Xuan meaningfully, and the implication was, 'Isn't that because of you?'

But Lo Zhuo did not provoke this in person, but one thing is certain that he had no choice in whether he should choose Zhang Xuan as his son-in-law. His daughter had already run away with Zhang Xuan. Although it was not known to everyone in the world, everyone who should know knew it. Who else could his daughter marry again? Apart from marrying Zhang Xuan, he had no umbrella that could cover the family's shame.

But even if you want to marry Zhang Xuan, you must follow the rules and you can't just do it in a hasty way.

Lu Zhuo pondered for a moment and asked again: "Does General Zhang have elders in Beihai County?"

Zhang Xuan understood what Rou Zhuo meant and bowed and smiled: "Although I don't have any elders, my uncle has anything to say to Changshi Wei."

"Is Wei Yunqi? Haha! I haven't seen him for almost fifteen years. I don't know that his situation is good now, but I really want to meet this old friend."

An hour later, Lu Zhuo met Wei Yunqi, who was also from a famous family. When he was ordered to go to Liaodong fifteen years ago, he lived in Zhuo County for several months and had some friendship with Lu Zhuo.

Lu Zhuo was bored in the official school, so he simply walked up to the city wall with Wei Yunqi. The two walked and chatted on the city wall, blew the warm spring breeze, and were very excited.

"We were walking on the walls of Zhuo County. Brother Wei was in his prime and was full of energy. In a blink of an eye, fifteen years have passed and we are all old." Lu Zhuo said with emotion.

Wei Yunqi held the city wall and stared at the distant sky, and said with a deep look: "Although I am nearly fifty years old, I am not convinced by the age of age. Time will only make the wine more mellow. Isn't Brother Lu the same? Brother Lu only served as the Imperial College Priest last year. This is actually the beginning of our career."

Lu Zhuo did not understand the profound meaning of Wei Yunqi's words. He was named the Imperial College Priest, and his career was just beginning. Wei Yunqi even resigned from his position as a county magistrate. Although he became Zhang Xuan's chief minister, he was actually just an aide and the court did not appoint him. It can be said that he was just a vain. He was nearly fifty years old. Will the court still use him? What qualifications do he have to say this?

Lu Zhuo looked at Wei Yunqi in confusion.

Wei Yunqi seemed to understand the doubts in Lu Zhuo's eyes. He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Lu came to Beihai County. Do you feel that this place is different from other places?"

“Some places are different from others!”

Lu Zhuo also admitted the uniqueness of Beihai County. "The public security here is very good. It can be said that the road is not lost, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. In the past two days, it seems that a large number of people are migrating to Beihai County. I heard that it is to avoid the war, which gives me the general feeling that Beihai County is like a prosperous era."

"This is Zhang Xuan's extraordinary talent. He is not only skilled in martial arts, but also has a long-term vision and a broad vision. If Brother Lu thinks he is a martial artist and looks down on him or even give up on him, one day Brother Lu will regret it."

Wei Yunqi's words deeply touched Lu Zhuo. After a while, Lu Zhuo smiled helplessly and said, "Brother Wei should know what I came to Beihai County!"

"I know, what are Brother Lu going to do?"

"What else can I do now?"

Lu Zhuo sighed, "I can promise their marriage, but I have several conditions. I hope my brother can tell Zhang Xuan."

"Brother Lu, please say!"

Lu Zhuo smiled helplessly and said, "Actually, I have no requirements. I just hope that Zhang Xuan can marry my daughter with a wise man. I hope that my brother will be a witness for them. In addition, in order to prove the formality of the marriage, I hope that he can write to the court and ask the emperor to enthrone the imperial edict. Wei Wei should be able to understand my feelings."

Wei Yunqi also comes from a noble family, so he certainly understands Lu Zhuo's mood. Lu Zhuo is afraid of being ridiculed, especially as the head of the Lu family, he is under greater pressure. Wei Yunqi smiled and said, "I believe that the people of the entire Yidu County are willing to be witnesses for General Zhang."

"Brother Lu is planning to get them married?" Wei Yunqi asked again with a smile.

Lu Zhuo was a little hesitant. In fact, according to his idea, it would be better to come to Beihai County this time and get the wedding together, so that he would not be too much of a gossip.

But if you don’t discuss this with your wife and get married in a hasty way, one will disrespect your wife, and the other will appear too shabby and does not conform to the family background and status of the Lu family.

After hesitating for a long time, Lu Zhuo said slowly: "I can agree to this marriage, but I hope to get married in the capital. There is a problem involved. I want to bring my daughter back first, and General Zhang needs to convince the little girl."

Wei Yunqi smiled slightly, "If this marriage can be settled, I will talk to General Zhang. I think the problem should not be big."
