In a courtyard in the backyard of the prefect's mansion, Jubaozhai's wife Zhen was standing by the pond, looking at the sky. Seeing her beautiful eyebrows and frowning, she seemed to be worried about her heart.

At this time, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the arch.

Zhen took back her thoughts and looked in the sound, and saw her guard leader Li Muzheng rushing over excitedly.

"Uncle Li, what's the situation outside?" Zhen asked with concern.

Li Mu came straight to Zhen, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Madam, don't worry, the enemy troops that attacked have been defeated by General Yuan Mai!..."

When Zhen heard this, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Li Mu couldn't help but sigh: "General Yuan Mai is really amazing! He defeated the Huns with fewer defeats, and now he used his tricks to severely damage the wolf's ambitions! His military power is really daunting!"

Zhen nodded with a deep sense of emotion, with a few strange expressions rippling in her beautiful eyes. Then she frowned slightly and murmured: "The fourth young master is now showing his sharpness, but I'm afraid it may not be a good thing!"

In the hall, the messenger reported to Zhang Lang: "Report to General Zhang Liao, General Zhang Liao led the cavalry to chase after 150 miles, and had stopped pursuing the prisoners and were escorting them back to Taiyuan."

Zhang Lang nodded and looked at Chen Gong standing beside him and smiled: "Public platform, it's thanks to you to win a big victory this time!"

Chen Gong quickly clasped his fists and said, "The general has been too rewarded. In fact, the general has seen through Yang Yi's tricks. His subordinates are just helping the general plan the details of the ambush, how dare they take credit!"

Dian Wei looked at Zhang Lang and said in infinite awe: "General, you are the most powerful person I have ever seen! No enemy is the general's opponent!"

Everyone nodded with the same feeling. Yueying glanced at Zhang Lang with beautiful eyes, and said half jokingly and half seriously: "Then Yang Yi dared to provoke the general. It is obvious that he is tired of living forever and seeking death!"

Everyone thought Yueying was interesting and laughed. Zhang Lang looked at Yueying and felt an impulse in his heart for no reason, and he couldn't help swallowing.

He came back to his senses and smiled bitterly: I probably haven't touched a woman for too long, and now I seem to be unable to control myself!

Shaking his head and throwing these messy thoughts behind his mind for the time being. Now is not the time to think about these things.

Later that day, Zhang Liao led the cavalry to escort the prisoners back. Not long after, Zhang Liao came to the hall of the prefect's palace to report to Zhang Lang: "You report to General, the last general failed to intercept Yang Yi and let him run away!"

Zhang Lang walked up to Zhang Liao, patted his shoulder, and smiled and said, "It's just a stray dog, just run away." Then he asked, "What's the result of your pursuit in this round?"

Zhang Liao clasped his fists and said, "It killed roughly more than 2,000 enemy troops and captured more than 7,000 people."

Chen Gong said: "That is, nearly 10,000 people were killed and captured, plus the 20,000 people who were annihilated under the city last night, Yang Yi's 60,000 army was wiped out by our army."

Zhang Lang thought, "Of the 30,000 people who were annihilated, there were 20,000 captured people, most of whom should be subordinates of Zhou Ren, the former prefect of Yanmen. I want to fight for these people to become our strength."

Chen Gong said with admiration: "General wise! Yang Yi raided Zhou Ren and seized Yanmen County. Although most of the Yanmen Army were under his command, there were probably few people who really helped him, and they were afraid that they still felt resentful!

People can use their hearts. If you gather these people together, you will be the best forward to attack Yanmen!”

Zhang Lang nodded and said to Chen Gong: "Public platform, leave this matter to you." Chen Gong held his fists and agreed.

Zhang Lang glanced at the others and said, "Each army started preparing immediately. I plan to march into Yanmen County tomorrow morning!" Everyone agreed in unison.

After finishing the official business, Zhang Lang returned to the backyard and strolled in the bare back garden, thinking about the next action.

Yan Lan, who was Zhang Lang's personal guard, followed Zhang Lang with his sword in his hand. His beautiful eyes looked at Zhang Lang who was walking two steps ahead from time to time. There was a slight lingering in his beautiful eyes.

At this moment, footsteps came from the front.

Zhang Lang withdrew his thoughts and stopped, looked up and looked forward. He saw that Zhen, who had been living in the prefect's mansion for a while, came towards him accompanied by Li Mu.

The Zhen family was still wearing a veil, but Zhang Lang felt that the Zhen family seemed to be a little different from before.

Zhen came straight to Zhang Lang, Yingying bowed: "Fourth Young Master!..."

Zhang Lang subconsciously went forward to support Zhen. The two of them touched each other's arms, and Zhang Lang smelled the tempting fragrance emitted from each other's body and felt a sensation in his heart.

After calming down, he helped Zhen up, took a step back, and said with a smile: "Mrs. I've been frightened these days!"

Zhen shook her head, looked at Zhang Lang with a strange look, and said softly: "The Fourth Young Master keeps me in the prefect's mansion, and the intention is to protect me! I am so grateful for the Fourth Young Master's deep affection and friendship!"

Zhang Lang smiled and waved his hand and said, "We are friends, so I will naturally take care of you."

A gentle look flashed in Zhen's eyes, and she lowered her head and said nothing.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Lang couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Neither of them spoke, the scene became quiet, and a strange and indescribable atmosphere spread.

Yan Lan, who was standing behind Zhang Lang, frowned and looked at Zhen's eyes with a kind of hostility.

Li Mu, who was standing behind Zhen, felt a little confused when he saw his wife standing in front of the other party and said nothing. Finally, he couldn't help but say, "Madam, aren't you asking General Yuan Mai for any trouble?"

Zhen came to his senses and remembered this incident. He hurriedly said to Zhang Lang: "Fourth Young Master, I have something to ask for......"

Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Tell me. No matter what, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you."

Zhen's eyes showed a happy expression, and looked at Zhang Lang, and said lightly: "We Jubaozhai want to establish a branch in Taiyuan, but I wonder what the Fourth Young Master wants?"

Zhang Lang felt a little surprised and muttered to himself: "Branch? The branches of Jubaozhai are all Jubaozhai in the center of one direction, gathering a large amount of resources and manpower in Jubaozhai.

They set up a branch in Taiyuan, which is of course beneficial to me, but it does not seem to be of much benefit to them, right?”

Seeing that Zhang Lang had not answered for a long time, Zhen became nervous and couldn't help asking: "Does the Fourth Master feel inappropriate?"

Zhang Lang came back to his senses and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, I have no reason to refuse." He glanced at Zhen and couldn't help but smile: "I just didn't expect that my wife would set up a branch in my Taiyuan?"

Zhen quickly said: "Taiyuan is the center of the entire Bingzhou. Although it is a little remote now, I think it is only a matter of time to prosper under the rule of the Fourth Prince. So I am investing in the future."
