Everything starts from Menghualu

Chapter 137 Helpless and Xiao Qinyan come to the door
"Well, brother Zhang, don't worry. My father has said that there are more than [-] troops on Hedong Road now. My father means to take away another [-] to make up the total of [-]." Zheji preached.

"What? Twenty thousand? Brother Zhe, is this too little? After all, Xixia has 30 armored men. Isn't this fifty thousand too little?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Brother Zhang, [-] is already a lot. To be honest, even if it is [-], our family will still have to take a lot of risks. After all, the current situation?" Is it possible for Zheji Xuanwei?

"Well, okay then, but Brother Zhe, these [-] soldiers and horses should be the Forbidden Army, right?" Zhang Heng said
"Brother Zhang, don't worry, I guarantee that these [-] soldiers and horses are all forbidden troops." Oretsugu declared.

"Well, that's good. Also, if a war really breaks out, what about food and grass?" Zhang Heng said with some worry.

"There is no need to worry about the issue of food and grass. Before you leave, we will prepare enough food and grass for an army of [-] people for a year, so that Brother Zhang will save you from worries." Oretsugu preached.

"Well, well, since Brother Zhe has already mentioned this, I have to agree. Brother Zhe, don't worry. When I go back and settle things on Hedong Road, I will send troops." Zhang Heng said
"Brother Zhang, I'm afraid you don't know yet, right? Shen Ke and the others are already ready. At this time, there are no people from the Imperial City Division in Bingzhou City." Zheji announced.

"What? They started so quickly? Brother Zhe, in this case, I will leave first. Please prepare the food and fodder for the army as soon as possible. I have to rush back as soon as possible." Zhang Heng said hurriedly

After hearing this, Zhe Jixuan naturally agreed, and Zhang Heng didn't stay long. He stood up and left. After sending Zhang Heng away, Zhe Jixuan came to his father's study.

"Father, everything has been done, but I can see that he was very reluctant, but he finally agreed, and his son also told him about Shen Ke." Oretsugu said.

"Okay, very good. As long as the Li family takes action, our plan will be completed." Zhe Weizhong said

"Father, my son has always been a little worried. Are you asking whether the Li family will go to war, abandon Ganzhou and turn around to attack us?" Zheji preached.

"Xuan'er, you are overthinking. The Ganzhou Uighurs and the Li family are now mortal enemies. It is impossible for Li Deming not to fight even if he wants to. Ganzhou will not give up."

"Besides, I have already gone to Xinshazhou a few days ago, and they will also help Ganzhou. After all, they still know the meaning of death and coldness." Zhe Weizhong said

"Father is wise. In this way, as long as we wait until Zhang Wulang takes action, we can reap the benefits. Even if the court brings trouble, we can blame Zhang Wulang."

"But father, Zhang Wulang is not a fool. What if he doesn't move?" Zhe Jixuan asked worriedly.

"Hold still? Xuan'er, remember, sometimes you have to learn to use your strength. The tiger skins that my family buys are not so cheap. If Zhang Wulang uses our family to deal with Shen Ke, he will have to pay a price. Wait for [-] yuan." When the army reaches Hedong, it's not him who has the final say whether to fight or not!" said Zhe Weizhong.

After hearing this, Oritsugu was completely relieved, and then he bowed and turned to leave. After all, Goro had to rush back as soon as possible, and there were still many things to prepare.

At this time, Zhang Heng had returned to the house and entered the room directly. At this time, his face became a little ugly, and this was soon discovered by Pan'er.

"Henglang, what's wrong with you? Are you in any trouble?" Pan'er asked

"Pan'er, today I finally know what it means to be ginger or to be spicy when you are old. It's really not easy to take advantage of this old fox. You know, Zhejia told me today." Zhang Heng said slowly

"What? Well, Henglang, doesn't this mean he has become a thug? Once Jingli is blamed, what can you do?" Pan'er said with a shocked look on his face.

"Yes, the Zhe family is really good at calculating this time. The benefits will be theirs, but the responsibility will be mine. I can guess without thinking that I must have borrowed these soldiers on my own initiative." Zhang Heng said with a smile.

"Heng Lang, how long has this been, and you still laugh? No, no, you must have a solution, right? You have thought of a countermeasure, right?" Pan'er asked.
"Haha, our family Pan'er is smart. Yes, I have thought of a countermeasure, but this countermeasure is not so much my idea as it is to wait for the eldest lady." Zhang Heng said
"What? Officer, what does this have to do with the eldest lady?" Zhang Heng said
"Haha, Pan'er, what do you think of the Imperial City Division? You said that such a big news that [-] troops were taken away by me, can the Zhe family really block it completely?" Zhang Heng said
"Huh? Henglang, you mean, is it?" Pan'er seemed to have thought of something.

"That's right, in the border area, the Zhe family speaks the truth. Not to mention that our two families are now in contact, even if there is no contact, I must listen to the Zhe family's words."

"For me, it doesn't matter whether I fight this battle with the Li family or not. As long as I can gain a foothold here and leave a way out for my Zhang family, it's enough."

"But some people are different. She will definitely not allow this to happen, because if the power of the Zhe family expands further, big trouble will happen."

"It would be fine if it took three to five years. At that time, the lady's skills were enough to handle these matters, but not now."

"So we are not in a hurry. Some people will be more anxious than us. Now that the Zhe family has made a move, I just need to wait for the eldest lady to respond."

"After all, this kind of thing is all risks and no benefits. I don't have to think about it. If this big shot makes a move, naturally he has to wait for another big shot to deal with him."

"Juniors like me are not qualified to fight with them, so we just have to be obedient. Whoever wins, we will obey."

"Pan'er, you know? It wasn't until this moment that I finally understood the thoughts of those official tumblers. This feeling is really wonderful." Zhang Heng said with emotion.
After Pan'er heard what her officer said, she didn't know what to say for a moment. Although she felt that something was wrong with what her officer said, she couldn't tell what was wrong.

In fact, what she didn't know was that the strange thing she felt was caused by a sense of confusion. This sense of confusion came from the inherent impression of Zhang Heng in her mind.

In her eyes, Zhang Heng has always been the noble son who seems to be omnipotent, but even such a person will one day be helpless and choose to be a wallflower and leave his destiny in the hands of others. This is her first choice. Time is unacceptable.

Time passed slowly, and Zhe Jixuan quickly prepared the [-]-strong army. Zhang Heng knew it was time for him to leave, so after saying goodbye to Zhe Jixuan, he took Pan'er and left. Of course, and They left together with the [-] troops prepared by the Zhe family.

After watching them leave, Oretsugu visited his own mansion and then entered his father's study.

"They left?" Zhe Weizhong asked as soon as he saw his son coming in.

"Yes, father, they have already left, but there is news that the Imperial City Division sent the news back to the capital some time ago. Father, do we want it?" Zhe Jixuan said worriedly.

"No, don't do anything, just pretend you don't know. I didn't have any hope as a father. This matter can be hidden from others, so it doesn't matter whether it is passed on or not." After hearing what his father said, Zheweizhongdao, Ji Xuan was a little confused, but he didn't ask further questions, because since his father said so, he must have a reason.

When his father wanted to tell him, he would definitely tell him, and when he didn't want to tell him, it would be in vain for him to ask, so he didn't say anything, just bowed and exited the study.

Looking at his son's leaving back, Zhe Weizhong nodded gently, and then continued to read the military book in his hand.

At the same time in the capital, the Zhe family's big move was finally sent to the Imperial City Division. When Gu Qianfan saw the news in his hand, his expression suddenly changed and he hurriedly found Lei Jing.

"Company, something serious has happened. Company, there have been changes at the border." Gu Qianfan said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Lei Jing's face no longer relaxed as before. He quickly took the message from Gu Qianfan and started to read it. At this time, his face became more and more ugly.

"Okay, Xiao Gu, this is not something we can handle. Follow me into the palace." Lei Jing said
After hearing this, Gu Qianfan understood the importance, so the two of them quickly entered the palace and soon met the eldest lady. At this time, the eldest lady was discussing something with Xiao Qinyan.

Lei Jing and the other two came in and hurriedly paid their respects. Upon seeing this, the eldest lady waved her hand and said, "Okay, no need to worry. Tell me what's going on that makes you so anxious to see the Ai family?"

"I'm reporting to you, there have been changes at the border. Zhang Heng went to visit the Zhe family a few days ago, and then the Zhe family recruited [-] troops. When Zhang Heng returned to Bingzhou, he brought them all back," Lei Jing said.
"What? What did you say? The Zhe family handed over [-] troops to Zhang Wulang? How is this possible? How could the two families do this?" The eldest lady couldn't keep calm after hearing this.

"Back to Madam, according to the news, Zhang Heng borrowed these [-] troops from the Zhe family, saying that Zhang Heng wanted to use them to defend against the Li family," Lei Jing said.
"That's nonsense. That's an army of [-] people. How can Zhang Heng have such a big reputation? Okay, leave the news behind. You two can retreat first." The eldest lady said

After hearing this, Lei Jing and the other two bowed directly after putting down their letters, then turned around and exited the Cining Hall. Lei Jing came out feeling completely relieved.

After the two of them left, the eldest lady motioned to Xiao Qinyan to read the letter. Seeing this, Xiao Qinyan stepped forward to pick up the letter and read it.

"How about Xiao Aiqing, do you have any ideas?" the eldest lady asked
"Back to the eldest lady, in my opinion, this is just a way for the Zhe family to support the bandits and respect themselves. Zhang Heng was just used. I estimate that the [-] troops should have been lent out in name only."

"With an army of [-], Zhang Heng should not be able to mobilize a single soldier." Xiao Qin said.

"Yes, that's right. We need to respect ourselves. Since the late emperor established the Tanyuan Alliance, there will be no more war between us and the Liao Kingdom for at least ten years."

"It's normal for the Zhe family to behave like this, but the Ai family will never allow this kind of thing to happen. Xiao Aiqing, in your opinion, what should we do now?" said the eldest lady.

"My dearest lady, I'm sorry for my stupidity. I can't think of any good solution at this moment, but I think that since this matter involves the Zhang family, why not?" Xiao Qin said.

"Well, Aiqing, you are right. This family has been dragged into the water for no reason. They will definitely not let it go. So, Aiqing, please go to the Zhang family." The eldest lady said

Naturally, Xiao Qinyan would not object after hearing this, so he bowed directly and then slowly exited the imperial study. After coming out, Xiao Qinyan quickly left the palace and got into the sedan chair.

At this time, the eldest lady was staring at the letter on the table, thinking about countermeasures in her mind.

Xiao Qinyan was still the same as before, coming directly to Zhang Chenglu. After all, he was the most familiar with the second roommate of the Zhang family, and it was Zhang Wulang who was involved this time.

Zhang Chenglu was a little surprised by his arrival, but he did not neglect him. He quickly went out to greet him, and then entered the study together. However, it didn't take long for the two of them to come out together.

Then they went out together and went straight to the Gaoping Marquis Mansion. When Zhang Chengfu saw the two people coming in a hurry, he knew that something must have happened, so he hurriedly asked people to find Zhang Chengshou.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Chengshou arrived. At this time, Xiao Qinyan also told the whole story.

"What? The Zhe family is so brave, how dare they!" Zhang Chengshou became anxious upon hearing this.

"Third brother, please be patient and wait for a moment. Listen to what Brother Xiao has to say first before speaking." Zhang Chengfu advised.
After listening to his elder brother's words, Zhang Chengshou calmed down the anger on his face and regained his composure.

"Master Marquis, to be honest, the purpose of the eldest lady asking me to come to you three is to see if you have any good way to solve this matter." Xiao Qin said.

"Brother Xiao, this happened suddenly, and we didn't have much to do for a while. After all, although there are people in the family in the capital, it's of no use."

"After all, there are only a few ways to target them, so we can't really do it?" Zhang Chengfu was a little confused.

"Master Hou, to be honest, I actually have a good way, which can not only solve this problem, but also bring enough benefits to your family, that is, is it?" Xiao Qinyan suddenly said

"Oh? Since Brother Xiao has a way, why not tell him and listen?" Zhang Chengfu said

"Master Marquis, my idea is this. Since the Zhe family can borrow troops, why not us? In this way, not only can this matter be solved, but your family can also benefit."

"It's just that this idea is a bit special, so it can only be your Zhang family's own idea. I say this, Lord Marquis, may you understand?" Xiao Qinyan asked
"Brother Xiao, your idea is too important. We need to discuss it before making a decision. Do you think?" Zhang Chengfu said after hearing this.

"Oh, that's natural, that's natural. Please do it, Lord Marquis." Xiao Qinyan nodded quickly after hearing this.
