The next day, the first day of the new year.

When Wang Xian saw Tang Sai'er again, she had already put on the veil again, and her voice had returned to coldness, not eating the smell of fireworks in the world. It seems that last night's drunken confusion is just a spring dream without a trace.

Soon after the procession was on the road, the scout anxiously turned back to report that a large army of soldiers and horses was approaching ahead.

"The army of the Duke of England?" Wang Xian asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." The scout replied: "In addition to the army of the British Duke, it seems that there are also people from Dongchang!" ”

"Hehe, the emperor is really like a great enemy...... Wang Xian looked at Tang Sai'er on the side, and joked: "It is worthy of the Buddha's mother, you are welcome to such a big battle." ”

"I'm a weak woman, I'm just afraid that people are Xiang Zhuang dancing swords, and they mean Pei Gong." The Buddha's mother glanced at Wang Xian and sneered.

Wang Xian smiled bitterly and touched his nose: "Where is it." ”

"Mother Buddha is very angry today...... Dai Hua whispered on the side.

"Mouthy!" Wang Xian glared at Dai Hua, and said with a straight face: "Catch up!" ”

Half an hour later, the two teams met on the official road.

There were less than 500 guards on Wang Xian's side, but the British army on the opposite side had 8,000 men and horses, and it looked mighty, like an elephant facing mice, full of oppression.

Wang Xian rode on his horse, looked at the British Dukes lined up, and said loudly: "Which general is opposite, please come forward and speak?" ”

"Uncle Zhongyong, it's been a long time." Zhang Fu didn't believe that he couldn't understand his flag, but he still stepped forward and arched his hand to Wang Xian: "I said goodbye three years ago, and I didn't want to meet here." ”

"It turned out to be the British grandfather, grandfather, and he was polite." After Wang Xian returned the salute to Zhang Fu, the two couldn't find a suitable conversation for a while, so they looked at each other a little embarrassed, and it took a while for Wang Xian to find the conversation and ask, "Annan must be stable now?" ”

"The thief chief has given the head, and the rebels have been pacified." At the mention of Annan, Zhang Fu's expression became serious, and the worry between his eyebrows was undisguised: "But for many years, the people's grievances have been boiling, the wealthy family has a big surname, and they are not convinced by Wanghua, once they withdraw too many troops, I am afraid that they will rebound immediately." Saying that, Zhang Fu sighed, and said to Wang Xian with some blame: "Uncle, if Annan is lost because of internal strife, we will be sinners for the ages!" ”

Zhang Fu thought that Wang Xian would refute him, but he didn't expect him to nod with a heavy face, and agreed: "What Grandpa said is that Annan must not be lost in our hands!" ”

Zhang Fu looked at Wang Xian with some surprise, wanting to find out whether he was true or false, for a long time, Zhang Fu sighed heavily: "I didn't see the wrong person!" Saying that, he persuaded Wang Xian in a low voice: "Brother, while it can be recovered, let's turn back to the shore......

"What does Grandpa want to redeem?" Before Wang Xian could answer, he heard an old voice say in a strange manner. The old eunuch Zhao Ying turned out from behind Zhang Fu.

Seeing Zhao Ying, Wang Xian's pupils shrank, and he knew very well that the old eunuch's appearance here was a signal that Zhu Di had finished arranging! The emperor has already set up a net of heaven and earth, just waiting for him to return to Beijing!

Wang Xian sneered on his face: "Gonggong Zhao is also there?" ”

"What, is it a surprise?" Zhao Yingzhen smiled, arched his hand to the north and said, "Our family is ordered to accept the uncle into Beijing." The old eunuch said and glanced at Zhang Fu and said: "Grandpa is finished, please go on the road quickly, it's not good to delay the emperor's errand." ”

Zhang Fu knew that it was not appropriate to say anything in front of the old eunuch, so he had to nod, take a deep look at Wang Xian, and said in a deep voice: "Farewell!" ”

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Fu led his soldiers and horses to the south, but only took 5,000 with him, and left 3,000 for the old eunuch......

"What," Wang Xian looked at the three thousand soldiers and horses behind the old eunuch, and said sarcastically: "Father-in-law still needs so many soldiers to escort him?" ”

"Hehe......" Zhao Yingpi smiled and said: "The road is not very smooth, and the uncle is missing a hair, which is the sin of our family." As he spoke, he glanced at Tang Sai'er behind Wang Xian, and sneered: "This is the famous Buddha Mother, right?" ”

"Hmph......" Tang Sai'er only snorted coldly.

"On such a cold day, how can the Buddha Mother ride a horse and freeze?" The old eunuch said to the Dongchang fan on the side angrily: "Hurry up and drive the car for the Buddha's mother." ”

Fanzi hurriedly gave an order, and saw dozens of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists, pushing an iron prisoner cart to Wang Xian and the others. The whole body of the prisoner's cart was densely packed with arm-thick iron pillars, and there were several latches on the iron door, and a large brass lock hung on each latch.

A foreman eunuch of the East Factory took out a bunch of keys and opened the big copper locks one by one, and then opened the heavy iron door, and the sound of squeaking made people's ears tingle.

"Please, Mother Buddha." Zhao Ying had a pair of eagle-like eyes, staring at Tang Sai'er.

"It doesn't have to be." Wang Xian objected in a deep voice: "She has no intention of running away. ”

"Our family doesn't have the courage of an uncle, we only know how to sail a 10,000-year-old ship carefully." Zhao Ying sneered, stared at Tang Sai'er and said, "What, do you still have to let our family help us get into the car with our own hands?" ”

"Not necessarily." Tang Sai'er said coldly, then turned over and dismounted, and stepped onto the prisoner car.

"Do you want to close it with me?" Wang Xian's face was full of anger and questioned Zhao Ying.

"Uncle said that he laughed, our family doesn't have the power to care about you." Zhao Ying sneered: "Of course, if the uncle insists on getting in the car, our family will not stop him." ”

"Humph!" Wang Xian snorted angrily, don't look over.

"Close the door!" Zhao Ying screamed.

The iron door of the prisoner's cart slammed shut, and the brass locks were re-locked.

"My eyes widened! If you get lost, you'll all die!" The head of the East Factory shouted rudely to the brocade guards: "Did you hear that!" ”

"Yes......" Jin Yiwei's voice was a little scattered.

"Didn't you eat?!" The head of the East Factory was full of anger, brandished a whip and whipped it on Jinyiwei, and scolded: "Give Lao Tzu a louder!" ”

"Yes!" Jin Yiwei's voice was much neater this time.

"A bunch of rubbish!" The head of the East Factory took a sip of thick phlegm and said: "If you become a lackey of our East Factory, you have to have a dog's leg!" ”

Zhao Ying was on the side, letting the eunuch in charge perform, but a pair of triangular eyes only stared at Wang Xian and his subordinates, seeing their faces full of indignation, Zhao Ying said very happily: "By the way, Uncle doesn't know yet, now Jinyiwei is under the command of the East Factory!" As he spoke, he looked at the people behind him: "Are there any brocade guards among these people?" They all came out to report to their bosses. ”

Naturally, none of them moved.

"They're all my generals." Wang Xian said coldly: "Don't work for your father-in-law......

"Uncle, the private family will be complicit." Zhao Yingyin measured the road.

"Then it's not your turn to punish the crime!" Wang Xian said with a cold face.

"That's it, let's just wait and see." Zhao Ying pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Uncle, please." ”

Wang Xian didn't look at Zhao Ying, and marched forward surrounded by the guards.

"cheer up and protect the loyal and brave uncle! If he loses a single hair, you'll all die! The eunuch in charge shouted to the three thousand officers and soldiers: "Go!" ”

The 3,000 troops surrounded the Buddha's prisoner cart and Wang Xian's team, escorting them slowly north.

Wang Xian's every move was closely monitored by Dongchang Fanzi, and he couldn't wait to see the color and shape of his stool clearly how many times a day he pooped. Although Wang Xian had expected this to be the case, he was still inevitably upset and irritable when he was stared at all day long, so he simply turned his eyes out of sight and was not upset, abandoned the horse and boarded the car, and carefully took care of Gu Xiaolian's daily life all day long.......

The words were divided into two ends, but it was said that the British Gong Zhang Fu, under the protection of 5,000 troops, arrived in Qingzhou a few days later.

Outside Qingzhou City, Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, had already received the news and ordered the camp gate to be opened to welcome the arrival of the British duke.

Counting up, Liu Sheng is Zhang Fu's elder, Zhang Fu naturally does not put the Guogong in front of him, he dismounts and walks a few miles away from the military camp, and after seeing Liu Sheng, he even preemptively salutes, calling him 'Uncle Shi'.

"Hahaha! Grandpa is not good at this, he is obviously a military general, but he is as sour as a literati! Liu Sheng laughed and helped Zhang Fu up: "Your father was not like this back then!" ”

"You are an elder, I can't disrespect you." Zhang Fu looked at Liu Sheng with a smile, only to see his old face smiling into a chrysanthemum, as if he saw how happy he was.

"Hey, where, where is it, you are the grandfather, I should respect you." Liu Sheng affectionately took Zhang Fu's arm and walked to the camp: "Come in and warm up, the old man has prepared a banquet for you." ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Zhang Fu nodded, and entered the barracks with Liu Sheng.

The two marshals met so kindly, which made the subordinates on both sides secretly relieved. Only a shrewd person can hear the secret confrontation between the two under a harmonious group......

In the barracks, Liu Shenggu held a banquet to entertain Zhang Fu's arrival. During the banquet, the two only talked about interesting anecdotes in Beijing, old things, that is, they never mentioned the current situation, and the guests and hosts of a wine were happy, and Liu Sheng invited Zhang Fu to the back tent to eat tea and sober up.

"Hey, I'm old, I'm not a ......" Liu Sheng took a sip of strong tea and said with drunken eyes: "I will be drunk and dizzy after drinking this little wine." ”

"Uncle Shi said this, it made me feel ashamed," Zhang Fu smiled bitterly: "I'm so drunk that I can't tell the difference between east and west, north and south." ”

"It's good to be drunk, it's good to spit out the truth when you're drunk, and you can still not admit it when you wake up." Liu Sheng smiled and said, "Do you think there is a more suitable opportunity to speak than this?" ”

"Okay, then let's say a few drunken words." Zhang Fu's eyelids drooped slightly, and he carefully said with his words: "What the emperor means is that as long as the Hou Ye hands over the military power and returns to Beijing on time, he can not blame the past." ”

"Take it......" Liu Sheng stretched out his big fan-like hand and spread it out in front of Zhang Fu.

"What?" Although Zhang Fu was not drunk, he was still stunned.

"The Holy Decree?" Liu Sheng smiled drunkenly and said, "What if I return to Beijing and the emperor changes his hexagram?" ”

"The emperor has become a constitution, how can he change his hexagram?" Zhang Fu sighed, looked at Liu Sheng fixedly, and said, "What's more, Master Hou, it's all at this time, do we still have the capital to bargain?" ”
