Chapter 188 Undercurrent
The group entered Taiyuan. After the festival, Taiyuan City was bustling and very lively.
Yuan Cheng looked at the scene in front of him, and his eyes showed an incredible expression, and couldn't help but sigh: "Maier is really not simple! As a powerful general in the field of killing, he actually has such a talent for governing the country!
Although the prosperity of Taiyuan is not as good as Luoyang, it is much better than most county towns!"
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Bogong is over-reputable."
Yuan Cheng shook his head seriously and said, "I have no exaggeration. You kid really make me look at you with admiration again and again!"
The group entered the mansion and all the people who stayed in the mansion came out to greet them. Zhang Lang introduced Yuan Cheng to everyone, and then introduced his subordinates to Yuan Cheng, and ordered people to take Yuan Cheng to rest in the backyard.
Zhang Lang walked to the upper seat and sat down, stretched his waist wide, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's still comfortable here!"
Everyone smiled knowingly.
Zhang Lang looked at Chen Gong, Zhang Liao and Zhang He standing below and asked, "Has anything happened during my absence?"
Zhang He clasped his fists and said, "Everything is as normal."
Zhang Lang thought for a while and asked, "The Huns, is there any movement on the Right Xian King?"
Chen Gong, Zhang He and Zhang Liao looked at each other and laughed. Zhang He clasped his fists and said, "I received the news a few days ago that the right wise king of the Xiongnu has prepared a bride-sending team. It should be that their bride-sending team will arrive in Taiyuan in just a few days."
Chen Gong smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I haven't congratulated the general yet! I heard that this saint of the witch sect is a stunning beauty. The general is so blessed!"
Zhang Lang smiled, and his face showed a look of thought.
Dian Wei couldn't help but say in a muffled voice: "The general is a famous young man. He actually wants to marry a barbarian woman. It's really aggrieved general!"
Zhang Lang laughed and waved his hand and said, "It's not aggrieved, it's just a deal." Then he said seriously: "But if she could really treat me sincerely, I would never let her down!"
Yueying, who had not made any sound, looked at Zhang Lang, and her eyes showed some indescribable charm.
Chen Gong thought, "This matter is beneficial to both the general and the prime minister and even the entire Han Empire. Using marriage as a bond to stabilize the Right King is the least expensive way.
Although this matter cannot solve the Huns' problem once and for all, it can at least usher in more than ten years of peace for the northern border. Countless people will survive because of this, and at the same time, we will also have time to wipe out the princes and unify the world!"
Everyone nodded.
Zhang Lang said: "Things are good things, I just hope that this good thing will not end up turning into a bad thing."
Everyone present looked puzzled, only Chen Gong seemed to be thinking.
Later that day, Zhang Lang wandered alone in the backyard, thinking about the political marriage that would soon come.
"Mai'er!" Yuan Cheng's voice suddenly rang.
Zhang Lang withdrew his thoughts and looked in the sound. Yuan Cheng was standing not far away and smiling as he looked at him. He immediately walked forward and bowed: "Bogong!"
Yuan Cheng looked at Zhang Lang and said, "Some things, your father specifically told me to explain them to you."
Zhang Lang didn't say anything and waited for Yuan Cheng to continue talking.
Yuan Cheng looked into the distance and frowned slightly, "This marriage, from some perspectives, is indeed a bit sorry for you. But your father hopes that you can put the overall situation first and treat the saint well after he passes the door!..."
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Mr. Bo. Don't worry. Since you have passed the door, you are my wife. I can't treat my wife badly. Of course, the premise is that she must be loyal to me!"
Yuan Cheng glanced at Zhang Lang, nodded, and exclaimed: "Your literary talent and martial arts are among the younger generations of our Yuan family, and no one can match it.
What’s even more rare is this mind. If anyone had some resistance to this sudden marriage, you didn’t care at all!…”
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "This, maybe I am a lustful person. I heard that the saint is a great beauty."
Yuan Cheng was stunned, suddenly burst into laughter, shook his head and sighed: "If you are really a lustful person, the Yueying and Yan Lan around you may not be virgin!"
Zhang Lang opened his eyes wide in surprise and asked in disbelief: "Bogong, can you tell all this?"
Yuan Cheng laughed and said, "When you live to my age, you can see through many things at a glance."
He looked at Zhang Lang and said with a smile: "Yueying, although Yan Lan is inferior to Cai Yan, she is also a peerless beauty in all directions. They stayed by your side for so long, but you didn't even touch her. She dared to say that she was lustful.
If all the lustful people in the world are like you, the so-called righteous gentlemen should find a wall to kill themselves!"
Zhang Lang touched his nose and smiled, "I'm just too busy recently and I don't have time to care about it."
Yuan Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "I won't talk nonsense with you, kid." Then he frowned and said, "How great would it be if you were the eldest son! Alas!"
Zhang Lang didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't plan to figure it out.
At this moment, Yan Lan, who was wearing a strong outfit, was strikingly marching over with a long sword on her back, first met Yuan Cheng, then clasped her fists at Zhang Lang and said, "Fourth Young Master, Mr. Chen Gong is here, and he said that he has something important to meet with the Young Master!"
Zhang Lang clasped his fists at Yuan Cheng and said, "Bogong, I have something to do, so I'll say goodbye."
Yuan Cheng nodded with a smile and said, "You go."
Zhang Lang turned around and walked towards the hall in front.
Yuan Cheng looked at Zhang Lang walking away until he could no longer see it, turned his head to Yan Lan standing aside and said, "Yan Lan, Mai'er is very important to us. Remember, even if you sacrifice everything, you must ensure his safety!"
Yan Lan was shocked and clasped her fists and said, "I have written it down!"
At this moment, Yang Yi, the prefect of Dingxiang who came to Luoyang to report his duties, also returned to Dingxiang City.
As soon as he came back, his confidant came to report: "Sir, I just received the news that the Youxian King's people have set off. In addition, the team sent off their brides has set off first, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Taiyuan within ten days..."
Yang Yi said excitedly: "The opportunity has finally come! Bingzhou is destined to belong to me Yang Yi!" Looking at his confidant, he asked, "Are the troops ready?"
The confidant clasped his fists and said, "As the adults' instructions, they were all ready, and they could attack just by waiting for the adults' order. However, the Tong family and Yan family, the subordinates tried them according to the adults' instructions, and they were afraid that they would not be able to be in the same mind as the adults!"
Yang Yi frowned and snorted coldly: "Since that's the case, then I'm not so cruel!"
Then he said to his confidants: "You went to the Yan family and Tong family in person, and said that I am grateful to their families for helping and guarding Dingxiang. I will hold a banquet tonight and invite everyone from both families to the banquet!"
