Chapter 180: Surprise

The two talked about Jicheng again. Xun Xiu changed the topic and talked back to the current situation in Langya County.

"Prince Zhang, along the way, most soldiers from the three counties of Hejian, Kaiping and Yuyang were pursuing the remnants of the Linghu family. Why didn't you see Zhang's soldiers?" Xun Xiu asked with a smile.

Zhang Shouyue laughed: "Something is not done. Most of my army will return to western Liaoning tomorrow. In addition to western Liaoning, there is a tiger eyeing it. This time I came to Langya, I took great risks, but it was too late."

Xun Xiu nodded, "The king of the country has decided that Langya County will return it to the Ye family as the fief of the Ye family."

"Ten years ago, Langya was originally from Ye's family, and this time it was just a return to the original owner." Zhang Shouyue said with a smile.

"Tiannan promised to assign part of Langya to the four counties, and it will be fulfilled." Xun Xiudao, "I wonder what other requirements are there for the prefect and the other three?"

Zhang Shouyue shook his head, "Mr. Xun, you know, what I want is not these. I don't take any of Ye Xiang's Langya fiefdom. I only have one thing. Ye Xiang also knows it in his heart. I hope that after Mr. Xun returns to Jicheng, he can speak more beautifully for Zhang."

"The territory is not too big!" Xun Xiu raised his eyebrows.

"If I want to take the territory, I can go and make money with the Donghu people, without having to grab food from the pot!" Zhang Shouyue said lightly.

Xun Xiu smiled and turned around and looked at Ye Chong: "Ye Chong, how about it? What I said is true?"

Ye Chong still had no smile on his face. This person seemed to be born with no smile. "How can he compare to Ye Mouyi, a martial artist?"

Zhang Shouyou looked at the two of them. They seemed to have made a bet on this matter, and they couldn't help feeling unhappy. Looking at Zhang Shouyou's expression, Xun Xiu smiled and took out a volume of documents from his arms and handed them to Zhang Shouyou, "Premier Zhang, before I come, the Prime Minister specially asked the Lord for help. I think this thing will definitely fulfill the prefect's long-term wish for many years."

Listening to Xun Xiu's words, Zhang Shouyue's heart immediately jumped up unyieldingly, stood up suddenly, took the document from Xun Xiu's hand, and spread it tremblingly. This document was the document that the king of Yan State gave to Zhang Shouyue the feudal state of Liaoxi County.

Zhang Shouyue took a deep breath. Many years of wishes were rewarded. From today on, Zhang finally entered the ranks of the highest-level nobles of the Great Yan. He closed the document and carefully put them in his arms. Zhang Shouyue held his fists with his hands and bowed to Xun Xiu to the ground, "Thank you Mr. Xun, thank you for the Prime Minister, and ask Master Xun to return to Jicheng. He thanked the Prime Minister for Zhang Shouyue and also gave him a word to the Prime Minister for Zhang. From then on, Zhang Shouyue will be the most determined ally of the Prime Minister."

Xun Xiu clasped his hands and laughed, "Tiannan said you are a person with temperament, but it's too adult. This volume of feudal documents is not just to thank you for your contributions in this action, but there are some other meanings!"

Zhang Shouyue was confused.

"There are other things?"

"Yes, ten years ago, Xun and Ye Chong also visited western Liaoning, but at that time, Xun and Ye Chong were both stray dogs and were in panic all day long. They dared not show up in the county town of Liaoxi. They came and left in a hurry, but they missed it with the prefect." Xun Xiu laughed.

"After that incident ten years ago, you two went to western Liaoning?" Zhang Shouyue asked in surprise.

"Yes, ten years ago, the Ye family had no place to stand in Dayan. Tiannan wanted to go far away and make a comeback. However, the wife and children who escaped with Tiannan were unable to follow him to wander around the world. For a moment, Tiannan was panicked and helpless and didn't know what to do. After thinking about it, I thought about the prefect's Liaoxi County. Therefore, I traveled all the way and hid Tiannan's wife and a pair of children under the rule of the prefect. At that time, only Liaoxi County did not pretend to be rude to Linghu, and only the situation in Liaoxi County could make the prefect have the confidence to say no to Linghu!" Xun Xiu said with a smile.

Zhang Shouyue was shocked, "You mean, the wife and children of the Prime Minister are in western Liaoning?"

"Yes, right in western Liaoning, Fufeng!" Xun Xiu nodded affirmatively, "This time, Ye Chong and I were here, first, we were going to get things done in Langya County, and the other thing was to go to Fufeng to welcome the wife, the young master and the young lady, and the three of us."

Zhang Shouyue took a deep breath, and was really shocked, "I don't know that my wife lives in a small house and helps the wind, so I really feel disrespectful."

"The wife hid in Fufeng, hiding her name, and the prefect did not know it, which is common." Xun Xiu laughed, "The adults are one son and one daughter, son Ye Feng and daughter Ye Jing, when they were sent here, they were still in their infancy. One was less than six years old, ten years passed, and it was also touching to think about it!"

Ye Jing'er? Zhang Shouyi's mind flashed. It seemed that he had heard this name and couldn't help but ponder.

"What? Lord Taishou has heard these two names?" Xun Xiu was the one who was there? He saw Zhang Shouyue's expression and knew something was wrong.

"Yes, I seem to have heard someone say the name Ye Jing'er. By the way, who is it?" Zhang Shouyue knocked on the head, "By the way, it's Lu Hong, it must be Lu Hong. He has been a county magistrate in Fufeng for more than ten years and knows the situation there. I must have heard him talk about it."

"Lu Hong?" Xun Xiu asked in confusion, "Who is this person?"

"Oh, this person is a general under my command. He has been serving as a county lieutenant in Fufeng. Recently, I have just promoted him to serve as the general of my former Liaoxi Army." Zhang Shouyue said with a smile.

"I wonder if the prefect can let Lu Hong come here?" Xun Xiu's face suddenly became anxious. Ten years have passed, and he also really wanted to know the recent situation of the Ye brothers and sisters.

"Lu Hong is still in western Liaoning and did not come with me." Zhang Shouyue shook his head, turned to a guard behind him and said, "Go and find Gu Changwei."

After ordering the guards, he turned around and smiled at Xun Xiudao: "Lu Hong and Gu Changwei were both my personal soldiers before, and they had a good relationship. Gu Changwei might know more than me."

A moment later, Gu Changwei appeared in front of Zhang Shouyue.

"Changwei, you have a good relationship with Lu Hong. Have you heard that Fufeng has Ye Jing'er?" Zhang Shouyue asked. Xun Xiu and Ye Chong both looked nervous, leaning forward, staring at Gu Changwei.

Gu Changwei glanced at the two of them with a strange look and replied, "I heard from Lao Lu that Ye Jing'er, isn't Gao Yuan's fiancée? She is about to get married. Lao Lu thought to me a few days ago that he would go back to Fufeng before the New Year to host the wedding for Gao Yuan. He also knocked on us old brothers, saying that Gao Yuan was Gao Zida's son, and we Gao Zida's friends and brothers back then, all had to give a gift to our nephew."

"Who is Gao Yuan?" Xun Xiu's face changed and he asked anxiously.

Gu Changwei glanced at Zhang Shouyue, hesitated and did not answer.

"Mr. Xun asked you, you can tell the truth!" Zhang Shouyi said.

"Gao Yuan is the current Fufeng County Magistrate, and is also under the command of the prefect. He is a very good young man." Gu Changwei said.

"What kind of son Gao Yuan is Gao Zida, who is Gao Zida?" Xun Xiu asked.

"Gao Zida was also my personal soldier before!" Zhang Shouyue smiled slightly, "Drunk in the battle with the Donghu people, he died on the battlefield and left such a son."

Xun Xiu took a deep breath and looked at Ye Chong, but Ye Chong's face was not very good-looking.

"General Gu just said that they were going to get married before the New Year!" Xun Xiu asked.

"Yes, Lao Lu said this was decided last year for the Chinese New Year. During the Chinese New Year this year, the two got married. In total, it was less than two months." Gu Changwei said.

Looking at the faces of Xun Xiu and Ye Chong, Zhang Shouyue was both shocked and gloating. Who was Xun Xiu? Although he had been hiding for more than ten years, the Xun family was also a nobleman who had passed down for a long time. Ye Chong was a general of the Ye clan and a branch of the Ye clan. It was fine before, but now the Ye family has recovered and has become a nobleman of Dayan. However, the only daughter of the Ye clan is now going to marry a commoner. I wonder what these two people think? Thinking of this, the past when he once asked a great nobleman in Jicheng for Junbao to beg for a bride and was humiliated. Not only was he happy, but the daughter of the world's largest nobleman married his own son, so happy!

"Although Gao Yuan is a humble background, he is a rare young handsome man!" Zhang Shouyue said with a smile: "He has only been in the army for more than a year, and he has been promoted from a military officer to a county magistrate. What is even more rare is that this man is both civil and military, led his troops to guard Fufeng, fought with the Donghu people several times, and won consecutive battles, which made the Donghu people dare not gain a foothold around Fufeng. He is a rare hero in western Liaoning. Ye Xiang's daughter is indeed a keen eye for heroes! Gao Yuan, I am preparing to transfer him into the county city to serve as my cavalry general!" Zhang Shouyue said with a smile.

After taking a look at Zhang Shouyou, Xun Xiu revealed something slightly. Xun Xiu also heard about the events of that year.

"I'm afraid I have to discuss this matter again." Xun Xiu said lightly.

"The orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker. How can we discuss this matter again?" Zhang Shouyue asked calmly: "Ye is a well-known figure in the world. Some things may be difficult to do, right? If they do it, they will be a joke!"

"Parents' order!" Xun Xiu smiled and said, "That's true, this matter can only be accepted by Prime Minister Ye. We have to discuss this matter again, and we will discuss it again! Zhang Taishou, can you tell me in detail about Gao Yuan?"

"Well, I have met Gao Yuan a few times and I still know him a little!" Zhang Shouyue was extremely happy. Not only did he make these old nobles feel a little embarrassed and happy, but more importantly, maybe someone will solve a problem in his heart now, and there is no need to worry about it.
