Ping An Biography

() Zhang Ning immediately agreed to Lao Xu's request to let him take charge of the city defense.To lead the army in fierce battles, those who have no prestige in the army cannot restrain the soldiers, and Lao Xu is the best candidate in terms of qualifications and status; it's just that this job may be a bit ominous.

After leaving the Arms Bureau, Zhang Ning met Feng Youxian, the commander of the cavalry regiment again.Feng Youxian heard about the assignment, and asked in a deep voice: "If Master Xu's order is at odds with the subordinate's opinion, does the subordinate have to obey Master Xu's order?"

Zhang Ning turned around, glanced over Feng Youxian and the others, raised his sleeves and hesitated slightly in the air, finally patted Feng Youxian's arm, and said calmly: "When necessary, you can act expediently."

"Understanding." Feng Youxian bowed.

Zhang Ning had just appointed Lao Xu as the supreme commander of the city defense, and this in itself was an extremely dangerous thing; he immediately gave Feng Youxian the privilege of "doing things cheaply". I believe in Feng Youxian's talent and judgment even more. It is difficult to have the best of both worlds, and there must be a choice. . .

He also said: "The people from the Weapons Bureau are ready, let them leave overnight. The cavalry regiment dispatched two teams, fed the horses and rested for a while, and handed them over to Wang Xian in the early morning of tomorrow."

"Yes." Feng Youxian replied.

After explaining the outside affairs, Zhang Ning returned to his home.As soon as he entered the gate and bypassed the screen wall, he saw Zhou Yiniang standing on the stone steps to meet her. Lianxiang and a few maidservants at the back saw Zhang Ning and hurriedly bent down and looked at the ground.

"Welcome to the safe return of the lord." Zhou Niang's etiquette in front of people was quite decent, she gently bowed her knees and folded her arms in front of her belly to salute.

Zhang Ning said: "Let's go in and talk about it."

Tuesday's mother's face was very serious, and she said softly: "Just now Madam Yao sent someone to say that we have to leave Changde as soon as possible, and let me prepare. I don't think there is anything to prepare, as long as I can bring Lianxiang with me. "

Zhang Ning glanced at the servant girl behind her, that Lianxiang grew up with Zhou Zhouniang, she must have some feelings, Dang even nodded in agreement.On the contrary, Yao Ji was very well informed. Not long after she returned to the city, she already knew in advance that she was going to leave Changde City.

After a while, he said: "The war on the South Road is all right now, your father is in the camp, so you don't have to worry."

"My father is doing it for great things, so I am considerate." said Tuesday Niang.

Zhang Ning also told Mother on Tuesday to pack some important items in the bedroom.Then go to see Yao Ji, so that she can take charge of the internal affairs and arrange the people in the garden.He was unimpeded in the garden until Yao Ji's residence was stopped by her valet Xiaoyue.Xiaoyue said timidly: "Madam just gave orders not to allow outsiders to enter without authorization."

"I'm not an outsider..." Zhang Ning pondered for a moment, then asked, "What's the concubine doing inside?"

Xiaoyue said: "It seems to be packing some important things."

That's it, it's not like I'm taking a shower and changing clothes, so what's the big deal.Zhang Ning said quickly: "Then I'll go in and see her." After hearing this, Xiaoyue didn't dare to stop her.

Zhang Ning walked into the room and opened the beaded curtain of the warm pavilion, but there was no one there. He only saw an open side room next to him, so he walked over and looked inside. Sure enough, he saw Yao Ji doing something inside, neatly dressed. There is nothing wrong with that.Zhang Ning stretched out his hand to open the wooden door, and said, "I'm back."

Yao Ji blushed immediately, and said, "Why did you break into my room by yourself?"

"Time is running out, I'm here to talk to my concubine about a few things..." Zhang Ning felt a little strange, and then carefully looked at the scene in the room.There was a brazier burning something inside, and there was a strong smell of smoke. Fortunately, a small window at the back was half-opened to let in a little air.She was holding a long plaything in her hand, which was wrapped in silk and stuffed with unknown stuff|bulging|bulging. At this time, she quickly threw it into the brazier.There is also a strange soft chair, wooden frame, and red rope in the room, like some kind of torture tool.Zhang Ning watched for a while, and gradually understood.

Seeing his dazed expression, Yao Ji couldn't help but angrily said: "You don't know how children avoid their mothers? What's wrong with breaking into a woman's room when you have nothing to do? Get out!"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ning said: "With so many things, how long will the mother and concubine be busy cleaning up by herself? Don't miss the business; let alone leave any clues. If someone finds out, it will not only affect your reputation, but our family will be fine." Good reputation. It’s not the first time I’ve seen these things, let me help you destroy them quickly, you have to arrange everything in the garden in a while; I’ll go to the Senate later to see the layout of the city defense .”

Yao Ji's face was as red as a peach blossom, delicate and charming. She observed Zhang Ning's expression, and there was no trace of evil in this bad guy, as if he was talking about something that could be brought up on the stage.She trembling | said: "I have already warned you, don't mention it again."

Maybe what Zhang Ning said is also reasonable. Once this person leaves, if someone finds something, it will be more uncomfortable than death.So she didn't refuse anymore.

Zhang Ning pulled out his sword from his waist, cut off the red thread between the shelf and the chair, and took off some bells and jade objects on it and threw them aside, saying: "These things can't be burned if they are burned, and they can be smashed even if they are smashed." It's not bad...and it's a pity, I'm afraid it will be difficult to collect it if you want to buy it again in the future, so it's better to take it away."

Yao Ji almost cried: "I don't want these things anymore!"

"But if someone finds it, a knowledgeable person can tell what it's for at a glance." Zhang Ning said as he hacked at the chair with his sword.Unexpectedly, the underside of the cushion is hardwood, and the sword's edge was unstable and quickly broke out a few gaps.It seems that I will have to find an ax for a while.

He added: "You always live alone, it's nothing important, I won't tell anyone..."

"Please stop talking!" Yao Ji reached out and pressed his mouth.Immediately, a faint fragrance came to the nostrils.

Zhang Ning stopped talking and could only work silently.After a while, he said again: "It's just that Erchen is not good at fighting, and let mother and concubine run around like this."

Only then did Yao Ji's breathing become more stable, and she quietly sighed: "I've already gotten used to it, and the situation is much better now than before." Zhang Ning remained silent, and she suddenly asked: "You have led the army Why did you come back to Changde when you were not in the army? You just need to send someone to deliver a message, and I will go to Chenzhou."

"No matter what time it is, I will never leave you and my little sister alone." Zhang Ning said seriously, "Do you believe it?"

Now it was Yao Ji's turn to remain silent, noncommittal.

That blurred figure suddenly appeared in Zhang Ning's mind, his sister from the previous life; the person who was so close, now he couldn't even remember what he looked like, that face was always blurred in his mind.But it left him with an unforgettable memory, and I am afraid that it will not dissipate in old age.So he moved his face again and said: "I don't want to regret it in the future, and I don't want to live in a dream. I tell myself that I must know how to cherish..."

Yao Ji said with a straight face: "You always look forward and backward like this, how can you achieve great things?"

Zhang Ning shook his head slightly and sighed, and suddenly found something like a large white jade teapot on top of his head, with a slender bamboo tube knotted on it, and something as soft as creamy fat was wrapped around the lower end.He was curious for a moment, thought of something and shook his head and thought, probably not?

Yao Ji was in a slightly peaceful mood just now, but suddenly became excited again, snatched it and smashed it on the ground, the jade pot shattered into pieces with a bang, and said, "I don't want your help! You clearly intended to humiliate me , get out, get out!"

Zhang Ning realized that it seemed to be too much, and Yao Ji's wording was also very bad. He quickly stood up and said: "My son and minister will leave. The mother and concubine must arrange the internal affairs."

In the early morning, Zhang Ning went to the Weapons Bureau to inspect the cannon fragments in person, and then he was relieved.The long-barreled field cannon he made by himself suddenly became as dangerous as a nuclear weapon, so he had to be cautious.He also ordered old Xu Tianliang to send someone to sink the fragments into the bottom of Yuanshui River.

The cavalry regiment dispatched two armed groups with more than [-] riders to escort a few carriages out of the city from the south city. It was still dark, and the stars in the night sky made the whole world look extraordinarily peaceful.Lao Xu and others sent them to the gate of the city. Zhang Ning held the rein with one hand and helped Lao Xu who was holding the ceremony with the other.

He originally wanted to say that if the city was not defended and Lao Xu was asked to surrender to the officers and soldiers, then maybe he could find a way to use the officers and soldiers' captives and some property to see if he could exchange them back.But it's better not to say this... If you don't say it, Lao Xu may choose to surrender when he has no choice;He couldn't help but rode to the side of the carriage to ask.

Yao Ji opened the bead curtain and said from inside: "I have sent someone to call them, and they replied that they wanted to stay, so I didn't force them."

Zhang Ning felt a little unhappy, but had to give up.His mood became more and more depressed. Maybe the ancient hero also had troubles, but he felt that losing his own woman was really unbearable.
