Chapter 84: I'll follow you
Princess Chengyang brought coal into the palace to offer treasures. Xue Shao left home for a few days and missed Xue Ning'er very much. At this time, he ran to the inner house. Zhang Zong led a maid to a small courtyard in the front yard. I don't know if it was a coincidence or intentional. The yard arranged by Princess Chengyang was the yard where Zhang Zong lived last time, but the people living inside were replaced by Shangguan Wan'er.
The maid took Zhang Zong to the door of the yard and left. Zhang Zong was also very familiar with the yard, so he stepped to the door. As soon as he entered the room, he immediately smelled a faint smell of herbs. He turned a screen and there was the bedroom inside.
However, what surprised Zhang Zong was that Shangguan Wan'er did not lie on the bed to rest, but sat at the table and looked at the book quietly. The sunlight outside the window shot in from her side, making her small figure bathed in the sunlight, and even the thin fluff on her face could be seen clearly. At this time, she also heard Zhang Zong's footsteps and immediately raised her head.
"Little Langjun!" When he saw Zhang Zong, Shangguan Wan'er, who was originally quiet, threw down the book ecstatically and quickly stepped forward to salute him, "Thank you for your life-saving kindness. If you hadn't been to the rescue of the eldest princess, the little girl would have died without a place to bury her!"
Zhang Zong also hurriedly helped her up and said, "You don't have to thank me. Speaking of which, the most fundamental reason for your disaster this time is still with me. Moreover, I heard from the eldest princess that even if you were tortured, you didn't say my name. Speaking of which, I want to thank you!"
"Young man must not say this. This matter was originally asked by Wan'er and has nothing to do with you!" Shangguan Wan'er suddenly felt sad when she said this, and tears suddenly burst out. In fact, she just told a story to please Taiping, but she encountered such a catastrophe. Just thinking about it makes me feel very aggrieved.
Seeing Shangguan Wan'er crying, Zhang Zong was also very anxious. He had no experience in coaxing girls. Speaking of which, Shangguan Wan'er also cried when she saw him last time, but the same happened this time. Who would have thought that the famous "female star" turned out to be a crying man?
"The matter has been over, don't be too sad. Since the eldest princess rescued you from the palace this time, you don't have to go back. There will naturally be a arrangement for the eldest princess!" Zhang Zong hesitated for a moment before comforting him.
Perhaps Zhang Zong's words had worked, Shangguan Wan'er slowly stopped her tears at this time, and then she showed a reluctant smile to him and said, "I'm making fun of Xiao Langjun. I don't know why. Every time I see Xiao Langjun, I want to cry!"
"Haha~, didn't I say it last time? In front of me, you cry whenever you want, and laugh whenever you want, don't have any worries!" Zhang Zong laughed loudly when he heard this, but he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, Shangguan Wan'er actually threw herself into Zhang Zong's arms and started crying again.
Now Zhang Zong was completely panicked, especially the other party hugged him tightly, which made him not know where to put his hands and feet. He didn't understand why the other party had stopped crying, but why did he make the other party cry again with just one word?
Is it really like Wan'er said that she wants to cry when she sees herself? If this is true, then they have to find a fortune teller to criticize the horoscope and see if they are born to conflict?
Shangguan Wan'er cried for a long time this time. In fact, this is easy to understand. No matter how strong she is, she is just an eleven or twelve-year-old child. She was beaten and scolded before, and was greatly frightened. All these grievances were accumulated in her heart. It was not until now that she saw Zhang Zong that she completely vented it. This was actually a good thing for her.
In the end, Shangguan Wan'er was tired of crying. After all, her injuries had not healed yet, and her emotional joy and sorrow also consumed her physical strength. Finally, she leaned in Zhang Zong's arms and sobbed quietly.
Zhang Zong also saw that she was tired at this time, so he whispered: "Wan'er, go to bed and rest for a while, and we will chat when your injury is healed!"
"No, I don't want to rest. You saved my life from now on. From now on, I will go wherever you go!" Unexpectedly, Shangguan Wan'er raised her head stubbornly at this time and said with a firm expression.
"Uh?" Zhang Zong showed a shocked expression when he heard this. After a while, he realized it. Then he said helplessly, "I don't save you because I want you to follow me, and there is no other intention. Moreover, it is safer for you to stay in the eldest princess's mansion than me!"
"No! I know what's going on in the palace. Since the eldest princess dares to steal me out, there is naturally a way to prevent the queen from robbing me back. And you are a life-saving kindness to me. Although the little girl is not talented, I still understand the principle of repaying kindness. From now on, you will be Wan'er's master!" Shangguan Wan'er said firmly again.
"Hey... don't..." This was the first time Zhang Zong encountered such a thing. As a later generation, he was actually a little repulsive of the ancient master-servant relationship. Otherwise, he would not have traveled for so long and never bought a slave to serve him.
"You little husband, don't you dislike Wan'er?" Shangguan Wan'er saw Zhang Zong's refusal, and immediately asked in tears again, as if Zhang Zong dared to refuse her and cried to show him.
"Of course not! But...but..." Zhang Zong immediately expressed his attitude and immediately wanted to find a reason to explain, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with any suitable reason. In the end, he could only delay, "But the most important thing now is that you will recover your injuries. As for what happens in the future!"
Shangguan Wan'er was an extremely smart girl. At this time, she also saw Zhang Zong's embarrassment, so she nodded obediently and said, "Okay, then wait until Wan'er recovers from her wounds, and then go to serve the young man!"
Zhang Zong smiled helplessly again when he heard this, but he had no choice but to say no to refuse. He had to change the subject and ask about her injuries. Speaking of which, Shangguan Wan'er was growing up, and her injuries recovered very quickly. Moreover, she suffered some skin trauma and now she has scars. She is probably going to recover completely in a while.
Just as Zhang Zong was chatting with Shangguan Wan'er, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the house. Then Xue Shao rushed in with a happy look on his face and said, "Brother Shi, my mother is back!"
"So fast!" Zhang Zong stood up with joy when he heard this, and then he saw Princess Chengyang stepping in from outside, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
"Congratulations to the eldest princess!" Zhang Zong immediately felt relieved when he saw the smile on Princess Chengyang's face, and then smiled and saluted.
"You, smart spirit is finally back!" Princess Chengyang finally couldn't help laughing when she said this. Then she reached out to Zhang Zong and Xue Shao to show a ring on her fingers and said, "See, this is the father's favorite ejaculation score back then. Later, I gave it to Brother Jiu. He is so precious. I couldn't even touch it before, so I would give it to me on the spot today!"
The so-called shooting finger actually refers to the rings of later generations. This thing is mainly used to protect fingers when shooting arrows. Li Shimin was also a general at that time. Not to mention whether the rings he used were precious, the meaning of the rings he represented was extraordinary, not to mention that for Princess Chengyang, it was a relic of her father.
"This is the shooting thrust used by Emperor Taizong!" Xue Shao and Zhang Zong all came forward curiously when they heard this, and quarreled with this ring that looked inexpensive.
I couldn't see clearly when I got away from me just now. Now when I got closer to Zhang Zong, I found that the material used for this ring was not jade, but should be bone such as ivory. However, because it was worn all year round, the surface was very smooth and even looked a bit jade-like. There was also a very obvious groove on the ring, which was the trace left by the years of friction of the bowstring.
"I remember that in the Battle of Hulao Pass, my father defeated Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops with three thousand cavalry, and even shot thousands of people with his own hands. He used this shooting decision!" Princess Chengyang's face was full of pride when she mentioned her father's record.
"No, how did I remember the last time you told me the story of my grandfather, saying that he shot hundreds of people, but why did he become thousands of people now..."
Xue Shao asked with confusion when he heard this. Before he finished speaking, Princess Chengyang slapped her in the forehead and scolded her: "What do children know? Your grandfather is the bravest army, and it's not easy to shoot and kill thousands of people?"
Zhang Zong hurriedly turned his face when he saw this because he couldn't help laughing out loud. There were thousands of people just now, but in the blink of an eye, it turned into thousands of people. The eldest princess was good at everything, but when she mentioned her father Li Shimin, she would immediately lose her mind.
However, as a daughter, Princess Chengyang worships her father, and the record of Hulao Pass is not fake. Even if she says that Li Shimin destroyed Dou Jiande's 100,000 troops alone, Zhang Zong would never question as stupidly as Xue Shao.
