Han Dao world

Chapter 959

Zhao State, Handan.

Zhao Prime Minister Yang Jun and Handan Commander Zhuge Liang stood side by side by the side of the road, looking around from time to time.

A group of officials stood together, talking softly, both excited and nervous.

More than a dozen carriages were parked in the distance, servants and maidservants stood in front of the carriages, and occasionally one or two pretty faces could be seen in the carriages.

Wang Duan's wife, Mrs. Zhang, was sitting in the car with a gloomy face and a very bad mood.

As the granddaughter of the famous official Zhang Yu, she married Wang Duan because she fell in love with Wang Duan's identity.As the emperor's cousin, Wang Duan was supposed to be young and wealthy, and he was the object of countless people's pursuit.But she never expected that in order to make it easier for Zhuge Liang to carry out the New Deal, the emperor actually kept Wang Duan in Xingzai, and the land occupied by the Wang family was also divided up.

In this way, what is the difference between the royal relatives and ordinary people?
If I had known this earlier, why would I have married Wang Duan in the first place.With her family's background, it is too easy to marry a young handsome man who is stronger than Wang Duan.

The idea of ​​reconciling with each other appeared in her mind more than once, but she couldn't find a chance to mention it.

"Ma'am, someone is here." The maid outside the car said suddenly.

"Who is it?" Mrs. Zhang said angrily, stretched out her hand to lift up the corner of the car curtain, and took a look.

On the official road, more than ten riders galloped over. Although the knights on horseback were not wearing armor, but only in crimson single clothes, they had a vigorous posture and looked quite heroic.

"I don't know." The maid hesitated for a moment and was suddenly surprised. "Ma'am, it seems to be a prince."

Mrs. Zhang had already put down the car curtain, but she couldn't help being startled when she heard this sentence, and raised the car curtain again to take a closer look.

This time, she finally saw clearly.

The young knight surrounded by two knights was indeed Wang Duan.It's just that she has lost a lot of weight, which is far from the bloated look in her impression.And the way he was riding a horse was something she had never seen before.

Wang Duan's grandfather, Wang Baoguan, can be regarded as a martial artist, but Wang Bin, Wang Duan and his son have never paid much attention to martial arts.In Jizhou, where martial arts are popular among the people, even compared with ordinary people, his physical fitness is considered poor.

But the Wang Duan in front of him was a different person, he was as stable as Mount Tai on the galloping horse.

Zhang's eyes couldn't help showing a smile.

Wang Duan, who had lost a lot of weight, made her eyes shine, and she was quite heroic.

Just as they were talking, Wang Duan and others had already arrived in front of Yang Jun and Zhuge Liang.He reined in his mount, got off his horse, and greeted Yang Jun and Zhuge Liang.After saying a few words, he walked over quickly again.

Although he couldn't hear what he said, looking at his behavior, Mrs. Zhang was very satisfied.

Although Wang Duan is a relative of the emperor, he has never had much self-confidence. When talking to others, he is submissive, embarrassed, and can't even straighten his waist.Now he is calm and unhurried, with every move of hand and every shot, people dare not underestimate him.

"Ma'am." Wang Duan came to the front of the car and glanced at Mrs. Zhang through the window, with a timid look that Mrs. Zhang was familiar with.

Mrs. Zhang was a little disappointed, and her joyful mood just now faded.

"Is the emperor coming?"

"I'll be there soon." Wang Duan glanced back, then swallowed, and said softly, "I'll see you later, be careful and don't talk nonsense."

"What else can I say?" Mrs. Zhang gave Wang Duan a dissatisfied look. "The fields at home have been divided, we are just an ordinary family now, how dare we act presumptuously in front of the emperor."

"Don't say that." Sweat broke out on Wang Duan's face. "The emperor came to Zhao country this time to see my aunt's childhood home. If you lose his interest..."

Zhang was taken aback for a moment, and then his eyes became lively. "In that case, why not invite him to stay at the Wang family?"

"No." Wang Duan muttered, not daring to look into Zhang's eyes.

When he learned that the emperor was going to inspect Zhao, he really thought about asking the emperor to stay at Wang's house, but he never dared to mention it.

Just like at this moment, he dared not explain the whole story to Mrs. Zhang.

Seeing Wang Duan's embarrassment, Zhang became more and more upset, and regardless of Wang Duan was still outside the car, she put down the curtain of the car with a "shua".

Wang Duan scratched his head in embarrassment, turned around and left, standing with Yang Jun and Zhuge Liang.

Strange to say, after leaving the carriage, Wang Duan's back straightened inexplicably, and his self-confidence was restored.

Mrs. Zhang looked through the gap, annoyed and annoyed.

After a while, a column of cavalry galloped along the official road, two people in a row, passing in front of Yang Jun and others, and continued to move forward.

First ordinary cavalry, then Habayashi cavalry.

In the Yulin riding, Zhang and others saw the female riding.Looking at those female knights sitting on horseback, as heroic as men, many people let out a low cry.Mrs. Zhang was also envious, and forgot Wang Duan for a while.

The team stopped slowly, and Liu Xie and Ma Yunlu came side by side.

Yang Jun and Zhuge Liang stepped forward side by side and bowed their hands in salute.

Mrs. Zhang also got out of the car, tidied up her appearance, and became inexplicably nervous.

She saw Liu Xie.

Although Liu Xie was young, a few years younger than Wang Duan, his complexion was slightly dark, and he was not angry and majestic.Even Ma Guiren next to him walked vigorously and majesticly, looking at people with a three-pointed murderous look, which made people shudder.

Mrs. Zhang waited for a while, watching Yang Jun, Zhuge Liang and others salute and exchange greetings with the emperor, Wang Duan signaled, and then walked over.

"Concubine Zhang's family, I have seen Your Majesty and nobleman."

Liu Xie took a look at Mrs. Zhang, then at Wang Duan, and nodded. "As expected of a famous official, she has an extraordinary bearing. No wonder my cousin is in awe when he talks about you."

Mrs. Zhang blushed and almost gritted her silver teeth.

Wang Duan is really useless, why did he say everything in front of the emperor?
"Your Majesty speaks seriously. Between husband and wife, respect and love each other, and raise the eyebrows, why should we be in awe. My poor husband lost his parents early, and his words are inevitably inappropriate. Please forgive me."

Liu Xie frowned slightly, and looked at Zhang again.

Mrs. Zhang's words seem to be respectful, but they are actually saying that Wang Duan has no tutor.

When his uncle Wang Bin passed away, Wang Duan was already an adult.

It seems that Mrs. Zhang regards herself as a doorman, and looks down on Wang Duan and Mrs. Wang from the bottom of her heart.

"I think he's telling the truth." Liu Xie said lightly, "I just heard that when you presided over the housework, you cooperated with the prime minister and the county magistrate to save the land, and acted decisively and with a manly air. This is what I express. Brother can't reach it."

Zhang's cheeks twitched, but he hesitated to speak.

She didn't take the initiative to cooperate with Du Tian, ​​but was forced to help.Wang Duan was left by the emperor, so she dared not confront Yang Jun and Zhuge Liang head-on, she could only cooperate.Now the emperor praised her as a man in front of countless people, and took the initiative to cooperate with Du Tian, ​​what would others think?
But she really didn't have the courage to refute the emperor face to face.

I don't know why, but she just feels that she lacks confidence.

Liu Xie turned around and said to Ma Yunlu: "Yanzhao is heroic, and women don't give in to men. If you want to expand the women's camp, this may be a good opportunity."

Ma Yunlu understood. "The concubine has exactly this intention. The concubine thinks that Mrs. Zhang is very suitable. She is not only a famous minister, but also a relative of the emperor. Especially this mighty and unyielding aura, the concubine likes it very much. I also hope that the lady will not give up. Jizhou women set an example and join the army enthusiastically."
