After Zhang Xuan wiped out Miao Haichao's army, he ordered the general Cao Sining to lead 3,000 troops to station in Xuyi County, and he led the army back to Jiangdu.

Zhang Xuan wiped out Miao Haichao, the Huaihe bandit, and restored the Tongji Canal transportation cut off by the rioters, which greatly increased Zhang Xuan's reputation in Jiangdu.

Since Jiang is one of the largest commercial cities in the Sui Dynasty, more than half of the population of the city relies on business for their income, transportation is their lifeblood. Tongji Canal was cut off, and the five major ships and tens of thousands of ship workers lost their jobs. Now Zhang Xuan has completely wiped out Miao Haichao and restored Tongji Canal transportation. How can people in Jiangdu not be grateful to Zhang Xuan?

For a time, Jiangdu City talked about Zhang Xuan, his army and the prosperity he brought to Jiangdu.

At noon that day, a young woman wearing a veiled hat rode into Jiangdu City. She was slender, wearing a slightly loose crimson hero suit, and a long sword with a shark-skin sheathed hair on her waist. Because the gauze on the hat covered her face, she couldn't see her appearance clearly, but her white horse was very expensive. You can tell at a glance that it was a war horse from the Western Regions. She was tall and strong, with strong four hooves and slender ponytails.

Although the woman in red looks very eye-catching, Jiang is a famous international metropolis in the Sui Dynasty. It can be seen everywhere in Silla, Fusang, and Hu people in the Western Regions. There are many more rangers. This woman does not look special and does not attract the attention of passers-by. However, when someone passes by her, he can't help but look at her appearance and want to know the appearance behind the veil.

It was obviously not the first time the woman in red came to Jiangdu. She looked at Jiangdu Street and her eyes fell on the gate of the military corps not far from the city gate. A large plaque with gold edges and black background said five big words "Jianghuai Military Envoy" were written on it. At the door were eight fully armed soldiers.

The woman in red nodded, turned over and got off the horse, and led her horse to a restaurant opposite the military yamen. The restaurant is called "Guanglingchun". This is a famous wine name in Jiangdu. It is a large restaurant with three floors and can accommodate 200 people to eat at the same time. It is one of the famous restaurants in Jiangdu City.

As soon as the woman in red walked to the front door, a bartender came up enthusiastically, "This sister comes to the shop to take a rest! The shop has all kinds of hot dishes and cold dishes, and the shop can also provide a separate stable for the VIP to ensure that the sister is satisfied!"

The bartender is very sensible. He knows that this kind of female ranger cannot be messed with and must be respectful. Moreover, her horse is very good and is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford to ride.

The woman in red is naturally Zhang Chuchen, who had just returned from a trip to the Western Regions. He and his senior brothers Zhang Zhongjian and Li Jing traveled to the Western Regions together. When he arrived in Shule, Zhang Chuchen did not want to travel west again. Zhang Zhongjian and Li Jing wanted to go to Saiye and the farther west again, so the three broke up in Shule. Zhang Zhongjian and Li Jing continued to travel west, while Zhang Chuchen returned to the Central Plains.

Although the road was not peaceful, Zhang Chuchen had excellent martial arts skills and returned to the Central Plains smoothly.

She didn't know why she came to Jiangdu, but she was really tired. She wanted to sit down and eat something and rest for a while.

She took off the horse bag and threw the reins to the bartender, "Take my horse to the separate stable and feed it well, and I will give it my reward. But if there is a lack of horse hair, I will burn your restaurant!"

The bartender was so scared that his heart trembled, thinking that he had met a female horse and would burn the house and kill people at any time.

Zhang Chuchen went up the second floor and found a seat by the window to sit down. Her eyes turned and she could see the military yamen across the street. She ordered a few dishes, ordered another pot of wine, poured and drank by herself, but her eyes seemed quite worried.

In recent years, due to the disbandment of Huofeng, Zhang Chuchen and the Guanlong nobles have become farther and farther away from her. The adoptive father Dou Qing deliberately distanced himself from her, and the hostility of the Dou family's children towards her have caused her to lose her spiritual hometown. She is like a kite that has lost the rope to pull, flying helplessly in the sky. Although she has done a lot of things to punish evil and promote good and rob the rich and help the poor, that is not the destination she wants after all, and Zhang Chuchen himself does not know where she will eventually fall.

Zhang Chuchen picked up the wine glass. At this time, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the stairs, "Brother Lin, tell the shopkeeper if you can change the braised bass to steamed bass."

"This is"

Zhang Chuchen suddenly heard the sound. Isn’t this A Yuan?

She quickly got up and walked to the stairs and asked in a low voice: "Is it A Yuan upstairs?"

A pretty round face stuck out from the stairs, and a pair of big, watery eyes blinked. It was A Yuan. She saw the woman's face covered by a gauze and asked, "You are"

Zhang Chuchen took off his veil and smiled, "It's me!"

A Yuan immediately recognized her. She came to the capital from Qinghe County. Thanks to Zhang Chuchen's help, she would have been miserable. She was shocked and happy and said, "It turns out to be Miss Zhang, why are you here?"

"I"

Zhang Chuchen hesitated for a moment and smiled and said, "I'm walking around, are you alone?"

"No, I'll come here for lunch with my wife."

"So Miss Lu is here too."

"Now she is not Miss Lu, she is now the general's wife."

A Yuan smiled and said, "Miss Zhang, do you want to meet my wife?"

"Is it convenient?" Zhang Chuchen glanced at the vigilant personal soldiers beside him.

"It shouldn't matter, girl comes with me!"

A Yuan said to the guards: "This Miss Zhang is the general's friend, not an outsider."

When the personal soldiers heard that the other party was a general's friend and a young woman, he stopped stopping and went aside. Zhang Chuchen told the bartender a few words and followed A Yuan to the third floor. They walked to the end. At the end, two personal soldiers stood at the door of a elegant room.

"Miss Zhang waits, I'll go and say something to my wife."

Zhang Chuchen nodded and placed the sword and horse bag at the door. After a moment, A Yuan came out and smiled and said, "Miss Zhang, my wife is welcome!"

Zhang Chuchen walked into the room. The room was decorated very elegantly, with only a small table inside. Zhang Xuan's wife, Lu Qing, was sitting upright at the small table in a white long dress. She was wearing an exquisite horse-drawn bun and a jade hairpin was inserted diagonally. Her skin was as white as jade, gentle and beautiful as a corner of her mouth. She was curiously looking at Zhang Chuchen who was walking into the room.

She heard Zhang Xuan talk about this woman, saying that she was neither a friend nor an enemy, and was once the leader of the famous female assassin "Huo Feng", but Lu Qing knew that Zhang Chuchen was not appearing in front of her to assassinate herself. If she had the idea of ​​assassinating herself, she would not show up at all.

Zhang Chuchen had taken off his veil and showed a pretty but heroic face. She stepped forward and bowed, "Zhang Chuchen meets his wife."

"Miss Zhang, don't be polite, please sit down!"

"Thank you, Madam."

Zhang Chuchen sat down opposite Lu Qing. Lu Qing asked A Yuan to get another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and smiled and said, "I was so bored at home. There was a restaurant opposite me, so I came over to sit down. Unexpectedly, I happened to meet Miss Zhang, which was also a fate."

"Madam knows me?"

Lu Qing nodded with a smile, "I talked about the girl when I was chatting. I heard from the general that Miss Zhang and his senior brother went to the Western Regions. When did they come back?"

Zhang Chuchen wanted to know how Zhang Xuan talked about him to his wife, but this kind of thing was hard to ask, so he had to smile and said, "I've been back for more than a month."

"oh"

Lu Qing smiled again and said, "How could Miss Zhang think of coming to Jiangdu?"

Zhang Chuchen had to admire the general's wife, who spoke softly but couldn't leak water. She couldn't answer for a while, and then smiled and said, "I'm also home from all over the world. I'm walking around here and looking around there. I have no place to live. This is the second time I've come to Jiangdu. I like the lively atmosphere here."

At this time, A Yuan brought the bowls and chopsticks, Lu Qing poured a glass of wine for Zhang Chuchen. She held up her wine cup with her delicate hands and smiled: "It's rare to see an acquaintance in Jiangdu, we drank this glass."

"Thank you, madam, please!"

Zhang Chuchen was quite generous. He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go. He faced Lu Qing, saying that he was doing it first. Lu Qing smiled, "I can't drink it all in one go, I can only drink half of it. I'm sorry!"

She sipped half a glass carefully, put down the wine glass, gently wiped the wine stains on the corner of her mouth with a silk towel, and asked with a smile: "Does Miss Zhang still live in Dou Mansion?"

Zhang Chuchen shook his head, his eyes a little depressed, "I have nothing to do with Dou Mansion anymore."

Lu Qing nodded and asked again: "What are the plans for Miss Zhang?"

"I don't know either. I wander around the world. When I'm tired of wandering, I'll find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to live there."

A Yuan next to her seemed to want to say something, but her lips moved but didn't speak. Lu Qing glanced at her and smiled and said, "It seems that A Yuan wants to ask the girl to stay in Jiangdu for a few more days."

"Mrs. joking."

Lu Qing smiled slightly and said, "Then I'll ask Miss Zhang to stay in my mansion for a few more days, okay?"

"this"

Zhang Chuchen hesitated for a moment. She no longer had the pleasure she had before. Her pretty face turned a little red and nodded embarrassedly, "Then I'll disturb my wife!" (To be continued.)
