I turned the cold palace into a paradise

Chapter 147 Meeting Zhang Hu

Yunyue didn't know that Xiao Yinmo and Song Luo had already fought for her.

Although Xiao Yinmo came, he did not disrupt Yunyue's plan and rhythm.

The next day, everyone was called to continue discussing how to seize the city, while Xiao Yinmo held Fubao and listened.

Li Wanhua meant to send people to sneak into the city first, then kill the people guarding the city at night and open the city gate to attack the city.

Yun Yue shook her head: "We have too few people. Once we break into the city, I'm afraid many people will be sacrificed when the soldiers and officials come to support us."

"Although I know that war will kill people, I cannot take people's lives lightly."

"So, I still want to find a more reliable way."

Li Wanhua and the others frowned. For a moment, no one came up with a better solution.

"How about we kidnap Captain Zhang's family and force him to surrender to us?"

"No, Zhang Yuankai is not an ordinary person. This will only make an enemy."

Xiao Yinmo suddenly asked: "Zhang Yuankai?"

Yun Yue tilted her head to look at him: "Do you know him?"

Xiao Yinmo nodded: "He was originally a general in the capital. He accidentally injured Prime Minister Liu's eldest son while trying to save someone, and was then demoted here. This man hates evil and has a clear distinction between love and hate, but he is also righteous and reasonable. It would be a good idea to start with him."

"I looked for him, but he rejected me." Song Li said.

Xiao Yinmo curled his lips and said, "You can't go, but if Yue'er goes, this thing can be done."

"I?"

.

In the city

Zhang Yuankai wrapped himself in winter clothes and cursed the heavens. Why is it so cold? It looked like it was going to snow again. Who knew how many more people would freeze to death.

After getting the medicine from the pharmacy, Zhang Yuankai passed by a stall selling wontons and swallowed his saliva.

"Sir, would you like some wontons? The soup base is made from chicken broth. A bowl of it will warm you up in such a cold day."

Zhang Yuankai thought about the copper coins left in his purse, shook his head, and turned away.

It gets dark early in winter.

When Zhang Yuankai arrived at his doorstep, it was already dark.

Thinking that his mother would be reluctant to light the lamp, Zhang Yuankai pushed open the door reluctantly.

When I entered the yard, I found that the lights in the main room were on.

I can also hear my mother's happy laughter.

Zhang Yuankai felt strange and walked in quickly.

"Son? Are you back?" Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Zhang Yuankai's mother turned around and looked towards the door.

"Yes, Mom, I'll make whatever you want to eat for you." Zhang Yuankai said as he opened the door, and saw a young and beautiful woman sitting next to his mother, the two of them holding hands affectionately.

"Who are you?" Zhang Yuankai asked with a straight face and a look of vigilance in his eyes.

"Son! This is Miss Yun. Today I fell to the ground and couldn't get up. If Miss Yun hadn't helped me up, I would have frozen to death in the yard today!"

Zhang Yuankai hurried forward to check and asked nervously, "Mom, are you injured anywhere?"

"It's okay! Thanks to Miss Yun, why don't you thank her?"

Zhang Yuankai placed the medicine bag on the table and bowed deeply to Yunyue: "Thank you for saving my life, Miss."

Yun Yue said, "Brother Zhang, you are too kind. It's just a small favor."

Then he turned to the old lady and said, "Old lady, Brother Zhang is back too, let's eat!"

"Okay, okay! Son, go to the kitchen and serve the dishes. Miss Yun made them. She saw that I was not feeling well, so she made them for me."

Zhang Yuankai looked at Yunyue meaningfully, said nothing more, turned around and went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Because the weather was cold, Yunyue put the food in the pot to keep it warm.

The three of them finished the meal happily. To be more precise, it was Old Madam Yun Yueyun who was enjoying the meal, and Zhang Yuankai barely spoke a word.

After dinner, Zhang Yuankai helped his mother to the room to rest, and then he returned to the table.

"Who are you? What are you here for?" Zhang Yuankai narrowed his eyes and looked at Yunyue warily, not looking down on her because she was a woman. He didn't believe that a woman would come to his house to show her courtesy for no reason.

"Yun Yue, the person in charge of Nirvana Village."

Zhang Yuankai was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the person in charge of Nirvana Village was actually this young woman in front of him. "Humph, I've already told your men last time. I'm paid by the court and I won't be in the same nest with bandits. This time, since you saved my mother, I'll let you go."

Yun Yue curled her lips, not caring about his attitude at all: "Brother Zhang is loyal to the court, but how does the court treat you?"

Zhang Yuankai pursed his lips.

Seeing Zhang Yuankai didn't say anything, Yun Yue continued, "You are loyal to the court, but what about the people of Chi Nan Prefecture? Now that Prefect Lin is colluding with officials and bandits, don't you know? Don't you know about the Jiang family? I'm afraid that most of your subordinates are traitors and colluding with the prefect, don't you know? Brother Zhang, I want to ask, do you care about the people? What can you do if you are alone?"

Zhang Yuankai was ashamed of Yun Yue's words, but he still didn't give in: "What I do is my business, what's the point of saying these? At least I didn't oppress the people!"

“Although you have not oppressed the people, your silence is also a sin.”

"What qualifications do you bandits have to criticize me? Do you think you can let the people of Chi Nanfu live a good life?"

"Yes! I can!" Yun Yue looked at Zhang Yuankai and said in a strong voice.

Zhang Yuankai looked at her confident eyes and sneered, "Oh, that's easy to say. How can a woman like you do it? Just go back and embroider some flowers."

"So what if they are women? Are kings, princes, generals and ministers of different species? If you men hadn't restricted women in various ways for the sake of your own status, how could you be sure that women are inferior to men?"

"Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers all of different kinds..." Zhang Yuankai murmured, with more admiration in his eyes.

"I didn't expect you to be so ambitious!"

"Of course. I know you don't trust me because I'm a woman and you're afraid we're just like the other bandits. How about this, would you be willing to stay in our village for two days?"

"Aren't you afraid that I'll find out the route and lead my troops to raid your den?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will leave you in the village and prevent you from coming back?"

Their eyes met and they couldn't help but laugh out loud together.

"Okay! I'll go with you to take a look." Zhang Yuankai thought this woman was very interesting and looked a bit like an old friend of his.

"I look forward to seeing you. How about this, in case you think I arranged someone to deceive you, I will wait for you here for one more night, and we can go up the mountain together tomorrow?"

"Okay! I'll arrange for my mother to go up the mountain with you tomorrow."
