Pei Renji's journey north was not smooth. As he was worried, the departure of the Jia family and his son caused a chain effect. Especially when his intention to go north to Taiyuan became clear, his army began to have a large number of deserters, mainly because the soldiers of Qi County were unwilling to leave their hometowns to Taiyuan.

Jia Wuben and his son collected more than 4,000 deserters, crossed the Yellow River and headed south, and returned to Qingzhou. The more than 4,000 soldiers of Qi County became the capital for Jia Wuben to join Zhang Xuan.

In the military camp outside the city, Jia Wuben, Jia Runfu and his son, as well as more than 20 middle and low-level generals who followed them were warmly welcomed by Zhang Xuan. The tent was filled with him, and Zhang Xuan set up a banquet to welcome everyone back.

Zhang Xuan raised the wine bowl and said to everyone: "We were all members of the Flying Eagle Army, and they were all generals of the General. The General died unjustly, and the Flying Eagle Army was disbanded. However, this land that we fought for and bleeded for was still there. We inherited the will of the General and will defend the seven counties of Qingzhou from being violated. Everyone is the general of Qingzhou. This is your hometown and your hometown. You have the responsibility to protect the safety of your hometown and fellow villagers. On behalf of the Qingzhou Army, I welcome everyone's return. After we drink this bowl of wine, we are brothers."

Everyone was excited and raised their bowls together and shouted: "I'd like to serve the Grand Marshal!"

Everyone drank the wine bowl in their hands in one go, and Zhang Xuan waved his hand and smiled, "This is a welcome banquet for everyone, let's go and drink it! We will not stop getting drunk today."

There was a lot of fun in the big tent. At this time, Jia Wuben sighed and said to Zhang Xuan: "It's a pity that Shubao has not come back, so he still went to Taiyuan with Pei Shuai."

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly and said, "Everyone has his own ambitions. This kind of thing cannot be forced. I also told Qiaolang that if he is willing to follow his adoptive father, I will send him to Taiyuan, but he is determined to refuse to leave the Qingzhou army. The same is true for Yuan Qing, and he is unwilling to leave."

"Yes! I guess Pei Shuai didn't expect that so many people would not want to go to Taiyuan. The army fled on a large scale that night after crossing the Yellow River. Moreover, it was a temporary camp at that time. Without a camp, it could not be stopped. I heard that at least eight thousand people fled. If Pei Shuai defected to the Qingzhou Army, it would not be like this."

Zhang Xuan thought that Pei Renji surrendered to the Wagang Army in history, but he didn't expect that Pei Renji just flicked and ran to Li Yuan. His fate should have changed accordingly. This was all the time when he killed Li Mi and led to a series of historical misalignment, but the biggest change was probably himself. When he came to this era, he had completely changed the historical trajectory. Where will the future history go, and what will his destiny be?

Zhang Xuan's mood also became very heavy. Before he knew it, he was a little drunk.

At night, Lu Qing sat in front of the window and looked at the letter her father wrote to her. The letter was received the day before yesterday. She had read it many times. In her heart, her father expressed to her the Pei family's wish to marry Zhang Xuan, hoping that she could agree.

Not only did the Pei family have children and old officials spread throughout the court and local governments, but the Pei family also had a huge influence in Bingzhou. In the future, his husband and Guanlong nobles competed for the world. Bingzhou has great strategic significance, so this marriage is crucial to her husband's future.

Lu Qing has been married to Zhang Xuan for more than two years. Of course, she is very clear about her husband's ambition to compete for the world. She is also a woman who knows the general and will not affect her husband's grand ambitions for her own emotions. Since her father has already mentioned this, she will agree to this political marriage.

But she didn't know what kind of woman the daughter of the Pei family was. Her father said in the letter that she was not a legitimate child, but whether she was a legitimate child or not, they would spend time together day and night in the future. Lu Qing felt that her mansion was a little too small for the first time.

She could agree to this marriage, but she needed to talk to her husband again.

Another reason why Lu Qing agreed to this marriage was that Wu Niang's child died young. He was a baby boy. He was born under term and died shortly after he was born. Although this kind of thing was more ordinary and even the imperial family could not avoid it, this incident still hit their whole family a lot. Wu Niang was in a low mood and Xin Yu was unable to get pregnant for a long time.

Therefore, Lu Qing considered that her husband had too few children, it was necessary to marry a wife again.

At this time, Lu Qing stood up and asked, "A Yuan, is the master back?"

A Yuan shook her head, "No news yet!"

Lu Qing was a little upset. Her husband came back from Jibei County this morning, but he hasn't returned home yet. Where has he been?

At this moment, Li Xiang ran in like a gust of wind and said anxiously: "Madam, the housekeeper said that the master is back and he is a little overdose."

What is drinking too much? Just getting drunk! Lu Qing didn't think too much and hurriedly walked out of the gate

The personal soldiers were guarding a carriage and parked in front of the mansion. Several personal soldiers carefully helped Zhang Xuan, who was drunk, down. The housekeeper had already gone to inform the wife. Soon, Lu Qing led Xin Yu and more than a dozen maids and servants to the gate.

Lu Qing had never seen her husband get so drunk. She frowned and asked her personal soldiers, "What's going on? She's so drunk before she even got home!"

The personal soldiers were smiling bitterly, "Reporting to Madam, today we are we welcome General Jia who returned to Qingzhou. Everyone toasted the Grand Marshal. In fact, there were toasts before, and the Grand Marshal had never been drunk. I wonder why the Grand Marshal got drunk this time, and we couldn't persuade him."

Lu Qing sighed helplessly, "Forget it, give me the general, you can go and rest too!"

Lu Qing asked several female guards to come forward to support her husband and helped him back to the inner house. At this time, Zhang Xuan suddenly felt drunk and squatted under the wall and vomited. Lu Qing gently patted his back. After a while, Zhang Xuan felt a little aware of dizziness and weak legs. He couldn't stand up. Lu Qing hurriedly supported him, slowly supported him, and complained in a low voice: "Why are you so drunk?"

Zhang Xuan muttered, but Lu Qing didn't hear it clearly, but when she saw her husband's face was very pale, she quickly ordered A Yuan to prepare sobering soup and asked Li Xiang to prepare hot water. She and Xin Yu helped her husband into the room.

Zhang Xuan was half lying on the rattan chair, holding Lu Qing's hand and said vaguely: "Madam, my heart is beating hard, I feel chill all over. Give me some hot tea!"

"I got it, hot tea will come soon."

At this time, A Yuan brought a large bowl of hot soaking sour soup. Lu Qing quickly helped her husband up and drank a full bowl of sour soup for him. He took off his shoes and socks and coated him with Xin Yu, wiped his body with hot water, scalded his feet with boiling water, and finally wrapped him with thick bedding. After more than half an hour, he stopped cleaning up the matter.

Seeing her husband's face gradually turn from pale to rosy and sleeping sweetly, Lu Qing finally let down her heart and let everyone go back to rest, and she was a little exhausted.

Zhang Xuan was also running outside for a month, and his body was very tired. In addition, he was drunk, so he didn't wake up until the next morning.

Zhang Xuan opened his eyes and felt a severe headache. He slowly sat up and immediately alarmed Lu Qing, who was embroidering a brocade plaque next to him. Lu Qing quickly put down the needle and thread, picked up the teacup and sat in front of her husband, and smiled: "What happened last night? I've forgotten a little. Can your husband tell me?"

Zhang Xuan took the teacup and drank a sip of hot tea. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't know why I got drunk yesterday. I obviously only drank three bowls of wine. Usually this little wine is no problem."

Lu Qing was both angry and funny, "What do you mean to drink only three bowls of wine? Your personal soldiers said you could not persuade you even if you could persuade me. You are still angry. You! I really don't know what to say about you. Is this the demeanor of Duke Qi?"

Zhang Xuan scratched the back of his head and laughed: "I remember that the monarchs of Qi all like to drink, and Duke Huan of Qi likes to drink as much as his life!"

"Okay, I'll give you a pole and climb up. My surname is Tian, ​​your surname is Zhang, okay? Get up quickly! I'm ready for lunch."

"I actually slept until noon, no wonder it was so sweet."

Zhang Xuan turned over and got out of bed. When he saw his wife packing the table, her body was plump and beautiful. He felt a sway in his heart and hugged her from behind, "Madam, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Lu Qing was touched by her husband and whispered: "Who made you drunk last night!"

“It’s time now”

"nonsense!"

Lu Qing pulled his hand away and twisted his ears hatefully, "It's going to die. It's daytime now. A Yuan and Rika are both outside, so they will hear it."

She blushed and whispered: "Let's talk about it tonight."

"God! Just get dark soon!"

Zhang Xuan joked exaggeratedly. At this moment, he suddenly saw the letter from Lu Zhuo on the table and smiled: "Oh! My father-in-law is writing a letter. Madam, I want to tell you good news."

"I know what good news is."

Lu Qing turned around and looked at her husband with a smile, "My father said in the letter that he was named the Central Plains Pacifier with the help of Mr. Pei and had left Jiangdu. This letter was written on the boat on the Huaihe River. This is my happiest thing. I have already written to tell my mother. There is another thing I want to congratulate you."

"What's the good thing?"

"I have agreed to accept the daughter of the Pei family. You are ready to get a beautiful lady again!"

"What!" Zhang Xuan looked shocked, "What is the daughter of the Pei family coming in?"

Lu Qing glanced at him and asked strangely: "Don't you know, husband?"

Zhang Xuan shook his head repeatedly, "I know nothing, what's going on?"

Lu Qing suddenly understood that the Pei family wanted to get their consent before telling her husband, so the husband didn't know about this. This is also the key to taking concubines in ordinary families. They must agree to the wife before entering the house. Relatively speaking, the man's opinions are sometimes not important.

Lu Qing smiled, "Husband, think about it yourself! Why is the Pei family anxious to marry your daughter to you, and they don't hesitate to commit themselves to a fair wife? This is the first time the Pei family has experienced!"
