In Chang'an, Pei Qing's residence was the original Wang Yun and later Li Ru's residence. Xun You, Dong Bai, Cai Yong and others were imprisoned here. It was originally not unfamiliar to Pei Qing. Now the emperor has inadvertently rewarded Pei Qing to make him the new owner of the place. Is this a turn of feng shui?

However, Pei Qing knew the loopholes in this house, so he immediately ordered people to repair the original incomplete wall, further increase and reinforce all the walls, and also sent additional personnel. The reason why he did this was not only for his own safety, but also to avoid the prisoners imprisoned in the inner house dungeon escaped.

The most important prisoners among them are Zhang Ji, Zhang Xiu’s uncle and nephew, and their general Hu Cheer.

In the dungeon, the uncle and nephew were locked up together, but they could only be speechless. They fought too much in this battle, and in fact they could not be considered frustrated. The main reason is that their opponents are too strong. They have been skilled in martial arts since childhood, especially Zhang Xiu, who has been taught gun skills by famous teachers. Although they are not old now, they are already one of the best masters in the Xiliang army. However, this battle is still defeated quickly. Such an ending is really unacceptable.

Now that their uncle and nephew have both become prisoners, they don’t know what their final fate will be. How can they not feel worried?

However, at this moment, I could only hear the door of the dungeon being opened and a sound of footsteps slowly approaching.

"Is it time for us to go on the road?" Zhang Ji had already guessed in his heart when he heard the footsteps of the visitor. Although he was heavy in his heart, he still asked on his own initiative.

"I, Zhang Ji, have been named a marquis, have been appointed as a general in this life, and have married a beauty. Even if I die now, it is worth it. It's a pity that Xiu'er is still young and actually dies with me. What's the face of me to meet my brother?" Zhang Ji sighed in his heart, and felt deeply sorry for his nephew.

However, at this moment, a pleasant voice could be heard: "General Zhang, I am Dong Bai."

"Ah? Miss, how did you come here? Are you too..." Zhang Ji was shocked after hearing Dong Bai's voice. He suddenly remembered that Dong Bai was also the granddaughter of a criminal minister. She was also given a high position when the Xiliang Army was there. Although she had no freedom of movement, she was also a member of the Xiliang Army. Now that Pei Qing helped the emperor to eliminate the Xiliang Army, Dong Bai may have been implicated because of this.

"I didn't expect that Miss, she could not escape death. Unfortunately, she was still so young." Zhang Ji sighed in his heart, but he could only express his sigh, because he couldn't even grasp his own destiny, so how could he control others?

However, Dong Bai said, "No, General Zhang, you misunderstood. I am very good now. General Pei, our generation, was rescued. In fact, I was also detained here at the beginning. That time, General Pei saved me. He has saved me twice."

"So that's how it is, it's really gratifying that the lady can be saved. In this way, even if she dies, she can still keep her eyes closed." Zhang Ji was now sincerely happy for Dong Bai, because Dong Bai was the only blood left by their former master Dong Zhuo.

At this time, Dong Bai said, "Actually, the general can survive."

"Hmm? What does this mean by Miss?" Zhang Ji was shocked after hearing this and asked.

Dong Bai smiled faintly, and then said in a deep voice: "To be honest, I came to see the general this time. It is precisely for this reason that although General Pei fought with our Xiliang army many times, his original intention was to be a businessman, not a grudge against our Xiliang army. Therefore, both Xu Rong and Li Su and other generals were all under his command. General Pei had a long-term vision, a broad mind, and was eager to seek talent. He specially asked me to come and persuade the general that if he was willing to follow him from now on, General Pei would return his wife and family to reunite. With the general's ability, he would grant his wife and son a reputation in history in the future. Wouldn't it be much better than being killed now and leaving a bad reputation in history books?"

Zhang Ji didn't want to die at first, and with Dong Bai persuading him here, he naturally had no hesitation and immediately said in surprise: "It is a great blessing that Ji can survive without death. Now he is still so valued by General Pei, he is really flattered. I am annoyed that Miss Laugh went to reply to General Pei on behalf of the last general. Ji was willing to serve General Pei. From then on, with this body, he will let General Pei drive him, and he will have no regrets even if he dies!"

"Haha, it's great that the general can do this. I can also report to General Pei. Please listen to my good news." Dong Bai smiled, bowed to Zhang Ji, and then left the dungeon.

Not long after, Pei Qing, under Dong Bai's guidance, took Zou to the dungeon, untied the bondage between Zhang Ji and his nephew and Hu Cheer, and said to them with a smile: "How lucky is Qing to be able to get the assistance of General Zhang and Major General? I believe that with your help, I will be even more powerful in the future."

Pei Qing then appointed Zhang Ji as General Guisui and Prefect Chen Cang, and asked him to lead his army to guard Chen Cang. He also recommended Zhang Xiu as the captain of Fengyi and Hu Cheer as the captain of Guiyi, so he asked Zhang Xiu to stay in Chang'an, but Hu Cheer followed Zhang Ji.

The reason why Pei Qing left Zhang Xiu in Chang'an is of course a hostage. After all, many things cannot be done by emotions alone. For example, Zhang Ji, although he is grateful to himself for a while, it is difficult to protect whether his gratitude will be exhausted in the future, or when he is tempted by greater interests, he will inevitably have a sense of tranquility, so it is better to be careful.

At this time, Zou came forward and cried and said, "General, I finally saw you. This is so good. Thanks to General Pei's special person to protect him, I can see General again. General Pei is so kind to us."

When Zhang Ji saw his wife again, he naturally felt like he was a different life. However, after all, he was a man, so he could not hold his head and cry with Zou. Instead, Zheng said with a key point: "I, Zhang Ji, naturally, remember the great kindness of General Pei and me, Zhang Ji. Even if I die, it will be difficult to repay."

Pei Qing saw this scene and smiled faintly, "General Zhang, you couple reunites, this is a good thing. It is said that you should celebrate, but the best celebration is that we are not around now, so, hehe, the next time will be left to you. By the way, I, the annoying person, will not disturb you here. But you also know that the military situation ahead is urgent, especially Chen Cang, which is the gateway from Hanzhong to Guanzhong. Since the Xiliang army has just retreated and the people here are panic, you can't delay it. I will give you three days of reunion, and three days later, the general will work hard to take office in Chen Cang."

Of course, Zhang Ji knew that his wife, like his nephew Zhang Xiu, was now pledged to Chang'an and could not take office with him, but Zhang Ji also understood that Chen Cang was not safe in chaos. He did not want his wife to follow him to take office. I believe that with Pei Qing guarding here personally, Chang'an must be as solid as a decent place.
