Chapter 180: Surprise
The two chatted about Jicheng again, Xun Xiu changed the subject and talked about the current situation in Langya County.
"Mr. Zhang, during this journey, soldiers from the three counties of Hejian, Kaiping, and Yuyang are hunting down the remnants of Linghu's family, but I don't see Mr. Zhang's troops. Why?" Xun Xiu asked with a smile.
Zhang Shouyue laughed loudly: "There are some things that I don't want to do. Most of my army will return to Liaoxi tomorrow. Outside of Liaoxi, there is still a fierce tiger watching. This time I came to Langya, I took a very risky It’s a big risk, but it’s too late.”
Xun Xiu nodded, "The lord has decided that Langya County will be returned to Ye Shi as his fiefdom."
"Ten years ago, Langya belonged to the Ye family, this time it was just returned to the original owner." Zhang Shouyue laughed.
"Tiannan's promise to transfer part of Langya to the four counties will be fulfilled." Xun Xiudao said, "I don't know what else the prefect and the other three want?"
Zhang Shouyue shook his head, "Mr. Xun, you know, I don't want these things. I don't want to take a cent of Ye Xiang's fiefdom of Langya. I only want one thing, and Ye Xiang knows it well. I hope Mr. Xun can do it after returning to Jicheng." A lot of good words for Zhang."
"The territory is not too big!" Xun Xiu raised his eyebrows.
"If I want to take the land, I can earn it with the Donghu people, and I don't have to fight for food!" Zhang Shouyue said plainly.
Xun Xiu turned around with a smile and looked at Ye Zhong: "Ye Zhong, how are you doing? Is what I said true?"
There was still no smile on Ye Zhong's face. This person seemed to be born with little smile skills, "Master Xun is a great talent. Ye is a martial artist, how can he compare?"
Zhang Shouyue looked at the two of them. Seeing Zhang Shouyue's expression, Xun Xiu took out a roll of documents from his arms with a smile and handed it to Zhang Shouyue, "Prefect Zhang , before I came, the Prime Minister specially asked the Lord for it. I think this thing will surely fulfill the prefect’s long-cherished wish for many years.”
Hearing Xun Xiu's words, Zhang Shouyue's heart immediately jumped wildly. He stood up abruptly, took the document in Xun Xiu's hand, and opened it tremblingly. A letter from the feudal government of Liaoxi County to Zhang Shouyue.
Zhang Shouyue took a deep breath. Once the wish of many years is fulfilled, from today onwards, Mrs. Zhang has finally entered the ranks of the highest-ranking nobles in Dayan. She closed the document and carefully put it in her arms. Zhang Shouyue clasped his fists in both hands and bowed to Xun Xiu, "Thank you Mr. Xun, thank you Prime Minister, and please ask Master Xun to return to Jicheng. Thank the Prime Minister for Zhang Shouyue, and also give a sentence to the State on Zhang's behalf." Prime Minister. From now on, Zhang Shouyue will be the most staunch ally of the Prime Minister.”
Xun Xiu clasped his hands together and laughed,
"Tiannan said that you are a man of temperament, as expected, but you are too grown-up. This volume of feudal documents is not only to thank you for your contribution in this operation, but also has other meanings in it!"
Zhang Shouyue was at a loss. "Is there anything else?"
"That's right, ten years ago, Xunmou and Ye Zhong had also been to the west of Liaoning, but at that time both Xunmou and Ye Zhong were bereaved dogs, in constant fear, how could they dare to show their faces in the county town of Liaoxi, came here in a hurry, in a hurry But I missed it with the prefect." Xun Xiu said with a big laugh.
"After what happened ten years ago, have you two been to western Liaoning?" Zhang Shouyue asked in surprise.
"That's right, ten years ago, the Ye family had no place to stay in Dayan, and Tian Nan wanted to go far away, trying to make a comeback, but how could the wife and children who escaped with Tian Nan follow him to wander the world? For a while, Tiannan was helpless and didn't know what to do. After thinking about it, the old man thought of the prefect's Liaoxi County, so he traveled all the way and hid Tiannan's wife and two children under the rule of the prefect, because At that time, only Liaoxi County didn't show any false words to Linghu, and only Liaoxi County could make the prefect have the confidence to say no to Linghu!" Xun Xiu laughed.
Zhang Shouyue was shocked, "You mean, the wife and children of the prime minister are in western Liaoning?"
"That's right, it's in the west of Liaoning, Fufeng!" Xun Xiu nodded affirmatively, "This time, Ye Zhong and I came here to settle the affairs of Langya County, and to go to Fufeng to welcome Madam back. With the son and the young lady."
Zhang Shouyue took a deep breath, and was really shocked, "I don't know that Madam lives in Fufeng, I'm really disrespectful."
"It's common for Madam to hide her name in Fufeng, and the prefect doesn't know about it." Xun Xiu said with a smile, "My lord has a son and a daughter, son Ye Feng and daughter Ye Jing, when I sent them here, they were still in their infancy. I'm still less than six years old, and ten years have passed so suddenly, it's really impressive to think about it!"
Ye Jinger? Zhang Shouyue's mind flashed, as if he had heard the name before, he couldn't help thinking.
"What? The prefect has heard of these two names?" Xun Xiu, no one, saw Zhang Shouyue's expression and knew something was wrong.
"That's right, I seem to have heard someone mention the name Ye Jing'er, by the way, who is it?" Zhang Shouyue tapped his head, "That's right, it's Lu Hong, it must be Lu Hong, he's working in Fufeng I have been a county lieutenant for more than ten years, and I know everything about the situation there, I must have heard him talk about it.”
"Lu Hong?" Xun Xiu asked suspiciously, "Who is this person?"
"Oh, this man is a general under my command. He has been serving as a county lieutenant in Fufeng. Recently, I just promoted him to be the general of my former Liaoxi army." Zhang Shouyue laughed.
"I wonder if the prefect can let this Lu Hong come over?" Xun Xiu's face suddenly became anxious. Ten years have passed, and he also really wants to know the recent situation of the Ye brothers and sisters.
"Lu Hong is still in the west of Liaoning, and he didn't come with me." Zhang Shouyue shook his head, then turned to a guard behind him and said, "Go and get Gu Changwei."
After giving orders to the guards, he turned around and smiled at Xun Xiudao: "Lu Hong and Gu Changwei used to be my soldiers, and they have a good friendship. Gu Changwei may know better than me."
A moment later, Gu Changwei appeared in front of Zhang Shouyue.
"Chang Wei, you are on good terms with Lu Hong. Have you heard that there is someone like Ye Jing'er in Fufeng?" Zhang Shouyue asked. Gu Changwei.
Gu Changwei glanced at the two of them strangely, and replied: "I heard from Lao Lu that Ye Jing'er, isn't she Gao Yuan's fiancée? I went back to Fufeng a few years ago to officiate the wedding for Gao Yuan, and even knocked on us old brothers, saying that Gao Yuan is Gao Zida’s son, and we, Gao Zida’s friends and brothers back then, have to give a gift to my nephew to be right.”
"Who is Gao Yuan?" Xun Xiu's expression changed, and he asked eagerly.
Gu Changwei glanced at Zhang Shouyue, hesitated and did not answer.
"Mr. Xun asked you, tell the truth!" Zhang Shouyue said.
"Gao Yuan is the current captain of Fufeng County. He is also under the command of the prefect. He is a very good young man." Gu Changwei said.
"Which Gao Yuan is Gao Zida's son, and who is Gao Zida?" Xun Xiu asked.
"Gao Zida used to be my personal soldier!" Zhang Shouyue smiled slightly, "During the battle with the Donghu people, he died on the battlefield, leaving behind such a son."
Xun Xiu took a deep breath and glanced at Ye Zhong, but Ye Zhong's expression was not very good.
"General Gu just said that they were going to get married years ago!" Xun Xiu asked.
"That's right, Lao Lu said that this was settled during the Chinese New Year last year, and the two got married during the Chinese New Year this year. Counting it, it has not been two months." Gu Changwei said.
Looking at the faces of Xun Xiu and Ye Zhong, Zhang Shouyue was both shocked and gloating. No matter who Xun Xiu is, even though he has been silent for more than ten years, the Xun family is also a noble family with a long history. Ye Zhong is a general of the Ye family, a branch of the Ye family, and a nobleman. It was fine before, but now the Ye family has recovered, and he has become a first-class nobleman in Dayan. Now the only daughter is going to marry a commoner, what do these two people think? Thinking of this, the past when I begged a nobleman in Jicheng for Junbao and was humiliated back then came to my mind, not only did I feel a burst of joy, but the daughter of the world's largest nobleman married the son of a soldier of mine, what a joy! happy!
"Although Gao Yuan came from a humble background, he is a rare handsome young man!" Zhang Shouyue smiled and said, "He has only been in the army for more than a year, and he has been promoted from a sergeant to a county lieutenant. What's even more rare is that This man is both civil and military. He led his troops to guard Fufeng and fought against the Donghu people several times. He won consecutive battles and beat the Donghu people so hard that they dare not stand near Fufeng. ! This Gao Yuan, I'm about to transfer him to the county town to serve as my cavalry general!" Zhang Shouyue laughed.
Glancing at Zhang Shouyue, Xun Xiu smiled slightly. Xun Xiu had also heard about what happened back then.
"I'm afraid this matter will have to be discussed again." Xun Xiu said lightly.
"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. How can we discuss this matter again?" Zhang Shouyue asked calmly: "Mr. Ye is a well-known person in the world. I am afraid that some things are not easy to do? If you do, I'm afraid it will be a laughing stock!"
"Parents' orders!" Xun Xiu said with a smile, "That's exactly the case. This matter can only be done after Prime Minister Ye agrees. This matter has to be discussed again, and discussed again! Governor Zhang, regarding this Gao Yuan, can you talk to me about this matter?" Shall I explain in detail?"
"Well, I've met Gao Yuan a few times, and I know a little about him!" Zhang Shouyue was extremely happy, not only making these veteran nobles feel embarrassed and happy, but more importantly, perhaps A certain problem in his heart, now someone will solve it for him, and he doesn't need to worry about it himself.
Gao Yuan, I don't want to touch him, he has Lu Hong, Huang Desheng, Gu Changwei and other trusted generals involved in him, these people are more or less related to Gao Yuan or his father, and now he is standing behind him My youngest son, if you do it yourself, it will inevitably hurt your muscles and bones, but now it seems that someone has to worry about it for you, hahaha, Gao Yuan, you really know how to pick a wife! If you really escaped from the Donghu people, I'm afraid this level is not good. (To be continued.
