After comprehending the Lord's intentions, Zhang Jackal's mood was equally complicated.

From last night to now, he had also imagined how the Lord would punish him countless times, but when he really knew the result, he had to feel that his understanding of Shi Hu was still one-sided after all. Or that the fierce and domineering image of the old lord is too flamboyant, so that it hides the cunning and ruthlessness of his own person. And when his fierceness reined in and turned to other means to deal with Zhang Jackal, he still couldn't resist.

Zhang Jackal tried to calm down his mood, motioned for Zu Qing to take a seat and sat down himself, and then carefully looked at the young man who had disdainful of attention before.

Speaking from the heart, if it was another time, Zu Qing, a young man, could be his son-in-law, and Zhang Jackal was also very satisfied. Although Fan Yangzu's family is not a famous family with a long heritage, just one ancestor is enough to make the family famous all over the world, and it is called a famous sect.

Although the bad deeds of the ancestor betrayal of the Jin Dynasty caused the reputation of his family to fall greatly, he had to admit that even so, the court of the Fan Yang Zu clan was still an unattainable and famous domestic sect for a rebellious martial sect like Zhang Jackal.

Although there is no emphasis on family status under the rule of the Qiang Kingdom, this kind of universal respect for the prestige of the clan can be completely wiped out without the tyranny of Shi Hu alone, and Zhang Jackal also has no lack of thoughts in his heart to raise the prestige of his family with his lifelong efforts.

But not everyone has the opportunity and talent of Jiangdong's general Shen, even if Zhang Jackal is already one of the top elders, he is still not recognized by this kind of worldly values. Not to mention anything else, just this time it was said that Zhang Jackal couldn't survive the difficulty and was killed by Shi Hu, and the so-called Xuan He would disappear in an instant, and there would be no more existence in the world.

For a portal like Zhang Jackal, being able to marry the Zu family is definitely an opportunity to raise the family. And Zu Qing, a young man, is also very good-looking, handsome, dignified, and he is a young and handsome man valued by Shi Hu, no matter how picky Zhang Jackal is, he has to admit that the only thing he needs to consider is that there is a good wife in the family.

But Zhang Jackal also understands that Zu Qing is a young man selected and cultivated by the Lord Shi Hu, even if they really become relatives, it is impossible for them to have an ordinary relationship between Weng and son-in-law, but they need to beware of Zu Qing being too good and bringing a fierce backlash to his family under Shi Hu's instructions.

But even if there is such a hidden danger, Zhang Jackal understands that he has no room to refuse at all, otherwise he will only pay a more painful price.

"Zu Lang can get the Lord's letter and be promoted, why is his family not prosperous and his achievements are not good? I have been following the Lord for a long time, and I have been an oracle to the Lord's knowledge. Since the Lord has allowed me to return home for temporary recuperation, I don't dare to live up to my deep affection, I don't know if Zu Lang can choose the time to accompany me home, and I also want to let those mediocre children in the family win the demeanor of the country's handsome people! ”

Now that the topic has been opened, Zhang Jackal is no longer rigid and gives Zu Qing great enthusiasm.

Hearing Zhang Jackal's more explicit statement, Zu Qing knew that this matter no longer allowed him to resist, and now he was just a puppet tool between Shi Hu and Zhang Jackal. Tools are only about whether they are suitable or not, and if there is too much self-awareness, there is a danger that they will be replaced at any time.

After so many years of enduring humiliation and burden, it has reached a critical moment, and Zu Qing is naturally unwilling to fall short. After a little silence, he agreed to Zhang Jackal's invitation, and at the same time, he did not forget another order of the lord of Qian, and continued to ask the candidate to send Bohai to welcome back Zhang Wu King Shi Bin.

Hearing this question, Zhang Jackal's face was covered with a layer of haze again. Although King Zhangwu's return to the country was one of his plans, it was not achieved in this way, and he could also think that if King Zhangwu was recalled to China at this time, the lord would definitely pay the military power of Xindu, and the envoy recommended by Zhang Jackal would definitely be more auspicious, at least he would not succeed Shi Bin in charge of the Bohai Sea as Zhang Jackal's plan.

Although he was caught off guard by the master's series of methods, so that he didn't dare to resist again, Zhang Jackal was really unwilling to pay too much price, and he still didn't give a specific answer after a long time, only that he had to weigh it carefully.

After getting Zhang Jackal's statement, Zu Qing returned to his life and told Zhang Jackal about inviting him to his home as a guest.

Shi Hu was not surprised by this, but said to Zu Qing: "Although Zhang Jackal is not a famous family in China, he is fortunate to know the current affairs, knows how to change, and has been in the court for a long time, and he is a veteran who can really discuss major affairs with him. Since he appreciates you, you can't let it down easily! ”

When Zu Qing heard this, he sneered in his heart, and secretly said that if he really took this opportunity to discuss something important with Zhang Jackal, he didn't know how Shi Hu would react.

And when this thought arose, Zu Qing's heartstrings trembled, and then he began to think about the feasibility, but he said respectfully: "The last general will be lost for a long time, and it is not the favor and nurturing of the Lord, let alone growing into an adult." All he thinks about in his life is to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, and he is too lazy to keep his heart in mind. ”

When Shi Hu heard this, he laughed even more: "My father and I can be regarded as knowing each other in danger. He unfortunately died, and you are like a father and you are not overstepping. What is the future, I will take care of you. Zhang Jackal is a huge rich man in Hebei, and he won't be stingy with you if he wants to come, just go. ”

Zu Qing respectfully retired, and only after leaving the big tent for a distance did he bow his head and salivate, and his saliva was mixed with blood from his teeth. It's just that when he arrived at the camp where Zhang Jackal was, his face returned to normal, and he personally arranged for the car to escort Zhang Jackal out of the Longteng camp.

There was already a Zhang family waiting here outside the Longteng camp, and when they saw their lord come out safely, they were relieved, and they rushed forward and returned home happily.

After Zhang Jackal returned home, he immediately summoned his own children and relatives, saying that he was entertaining the ancestors who came to visit, but in fact, he told the clansmen not to act rashly, especially not to easily mobilize and assemble the protégés.

The reason why the lord let him go this time is because Zhang Jackal has been working in the country for a long time, and the interwoven power network is difficult for even Shi Hu to know the depths, and it is immeasurable how much turmoil it will cause once he eradicates the Zhang family.

Zhang Jackal is just having palpitations at the moment, and there is no lack of suspicion that the reason why the Lord let him go home is to paralyze him, and take advantage of the fact that he gathers his protégés to take the initiative to expose the potential forces, so as to eradicate them in one fell swoop. Therefore, Zhang Jackal is also facing a dead cycle, if he does not gather the scattered forces, he will not be able to deal with the blow caused by the Lord, but once it is gathered, it will give the Lord a chance to do it once and for all.

As for Zu Qing, the nail who wants to be embedded in the Zhang family, what kind of attitude should be treated, it still needs to be grasped. Marriage is naturally the most basic attitude, and Shi Hu also drew a line for Zhang Jackal, only talking about wealth and nowhere to talk about the future, which is to warn Zhang Jackal not to try to pull Zu Qing into his camp.

After returning home, Zhang Jackal personally entertained Zu Qing as a companion, and intended to introduce several school-age daughters to Zu Qing one by one. Zhang Jackal's wife died early, and there was no concubine in the family, but not to mention the ancestral family, Zu Qing alone was the concubine selected by the lord Shi Hu for his family, and in this situation, Zhang Jackal did not dare to deal with the concubine at will.

Although Zu Qing felt humiliation and resentment in his heart, he also understood that this was not an arrangement that he could resist, and he took the opportunity to express his interest in a Zhang girl during the banquet.

After that, Zhang Jackal kept Zu Qing at home, and directly set up the daughter's biological mother as the main room. Although the process was not lacking in sloppiness, it was enough to show that his attitude was good enough. In order to return home and arrange to intercept and kill Ma Qiu, he can even give up his young son, and now in order to save his family from disasters, he will not spare a daughter.

It's just that they were originally two ordinary concubines who were raised in the door, but their fates have changed completely differently. A concubine who was originally much favored not only had to suffer the pain of losing a son because she gave birth to a son, but she was also imprisoned and never saw the light of day. The other was originally left out a lot, but he was able to become the mistress of the family with his daughter.

In today's situation, a delay in the matter can lead to many variables. Since they both have a tacit understanding, and the Zhang family is not a polite and respectful family, to determine the marriage candidate, Zhang Jackal directly sent the daughter to the guest house where Zu Qing lived that night.

The Zhang woman was in her early fourteens, but her appearance was gentle and delicate, probably more like her mother in appearance. Originally, it was only one of the daughters of Zhang Jackal, and it was not outstanding in the specifications, and the biggest possibility in the future was that he was promised by his father Zhang Jackal to the Zhang family's subordinates, or Hebei Haoqiang, who followed his family, was lucky to be dull for the rest of his life, and if he was unlucky, he died in a turmoil with the collapse of the country.

This little lady never dreamed that a family banquet would become a big turning point in her life. Although there was a rumor in the inner court that the distinguished guests of the family had come to the door, the head of the family had the intention of choosing a female match, and ordered these women to dress up separately. But his mother herself is not the most favored in the inner house, and this little lady's appearance is not the best among the sisters, although there is a pounding heart, but she does not dare to expect such good luck to fall on her head.

Previously, under the arrangement of the family, I took turns to enter the visit, and saw the young handsome general sitting on the guest of honor, and even the father Zhang Jackal, who was a sky above the girl, was enthusiastic and polite to him, and the girl was pregnant with spring, and it was common to fall in love at first sight.

However, the young general only glanced at her, and did not say anything special, and after exiting the living room, the girl's heart was already half hot and half cold. Some people may never forget it at a glance, and the rest of their lives will only sigh shallowly, and the rest of them will become ordinary.

Their mother also knew that this matter may become the biggest turning point in their mother and daughter's lives, and when the girl returned, she hurriedly came to ask, the little lady was feeling complaining, and the chatter was endless, and for a while sadness came from it, and she couldn't help but hide her face and weep softly.

The mother and daughter were sighing for each other in the pavilion, when suddenly a group of family members poured in, and the servants who had been unpretentious to them gathered around their mother to congratulate and call on the mistress. There are also delicate maids who surround the little lady with reddish eyes, full of envy and enthusiasm for her to dress up.

After such a busy time, when the little lady was put on the ox cart and drove slowly to the inn where the young general lived, she was still in a dream. The little lady held her breath, quietly listened to the noise coming from outside the ox cart, pursed her lips slightly, and did not dare to move, lest her dream be shattered.

The noise in the inner house naturally alarmed the other Zhang women, and there were many ladies huddled under the porch, ridiculing the little sister who had been sent out of the pavilion in such a hasty tone with envy and loss that could not be concealed.
