Yuan Shao stood up and walked to Zhang Lang, saying, "Mai'er, since Cao Cao and Sun Jian have gone to Hongnong, you can withdraw your army."

Zhang Lang held his fists and agreed.

Yuan Shao suddenly thought of something and asked Zhang Lang: "I heard that you didn't go to the palace for a day and a night in a row?"

Zhang Lang was stunned, not understanding what this cheap dad meant, so he nodded and said, "Yes. I have been practicing all day and night."

Yuan Shao frowned and said, "This is not good. As the General of the Yulin Central Army, you are responsible for the safety of the palace. How can you stay outside for a long time?

From now on, if you don’t have a special reason, it’s better to stay in the palace, and just tell me about other things.”

The reason why Zhang Lang did not go to the palace after he came back was mainly because he didn't understand what he, the Yulin Central Army General, should do. Because no one told him, he didn't go to the palace for so long.

After hearing Yuan Shao's words, he clarified his responsibilities and immediately agreed.

Yuan Shao patted Zhang Lang on the shoulder and said, "Mai'er, this time the 18 princes attacked Dong Zhe, you performed very well and did not disappoint your father. I hope you can continue to work hard and have a better record in the war against the Huns."

Zhang Lang's mind flashed through the scenes of fighting with those foreign mercenaries before, and his eyes unconsciously showed a strong murderous intent.

He clasped his fists and said, "What I most hope to do in my life is to slaughter foreigners and foreigners! I will make those Huns pay the price for what they do!"

Yuan Shao was a little surprised to see Zhang Lang showing such an astonishing murderous aura to the Huns, and then nodded with relief and praised: "Very good! I am worthy of being a descendant of my Yuan family! What I want is this momentum!"

Then he said, "If Maier is fine, go to the palace. Report any situation in the palace to me immediately."

Zhang Lang clasped his fists and agreed and left the hall.

Yuan Shao looked at the son's back with a look of relief, glanced at the others, and said, "If you have nothing to do, please step down."

Everyone bowed to Yuan Shao and left the hall in a row.

Yuan Xi and Jiao Chu, Feng Ji, left the Prime Minister's Mansion, stepped onto their mounts, and walked towards their mansion surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers.

Yuan Xi said unhappily: "Yuan Mai, a mere low-class person, his father actually called him the General of the Yulin Central Army and gave him the important task of guarding the palace. It was really annoying!"

He glanced at Feng Ji and asked, "Why did you stop me from giving advice to my father just now?"

Feng Ji hurriedly said, "Second Young Master. I'm going to stop Young Master because if the Young Master does this, I'm afraid that it will not only fail, but will also attract the prime minister's anger..."

Yuan Xi was very dissatisfied and said angrily: "How could my father be biased towards that low-key person?!"

Feng Ji sighed, shook his head, and frowned slightly, "The fourth young master is from a lowly family and was indeed not favored by the Prime Minister before.

However, in this battle, the fourth prince made many great achievements and was very powerful all over the world. Cheng's attitude towards the fourth prince was probably changed a lot.

In this case, if the second young master rashly targets the fourth young master, it will not have any effect except to make the Prime Minister think that the second young master is jealous of the fourth young master, but will instead reduce the second young master's position in the prime minister's mind. It is not worth the loss..."

Yuan Xi frowned and felt very depressed. He was unwilling to admit what Feng Ji said, but he could not find any reason to refute.

Feng Ji continued: "According to what his subordinates learned, the fourth prince was named General of the Yulin Central Army and was responsible for guarding the palace. In fact, the Empress Dowager asked. The Prime Minister could not oppose the Empress Dowager in such a thing."

Yuan Xi couldn't help but think of the gentle but noble Empress Dowager who saw in the palace yesterday. She moved her throat and swallowed with a gurgle, and her eyes showed a look of desire.

Thinking of Zhang Lang, he couldn't help but have murderous aura on his face and murmured fiercely: "One day I will step on you, the cheap one is just a cheap one after all! He dares to compete with me!"

Jiao Chu, who was riding on the other side of Yuan Xi, couldn't help but say to Feng Ji: "Sir, you have to find a way to deal with that bastard! You can't watch him continue to gain status and power, right?"

Yuan Xi nodded in agreement and looked at Feng Ji.

Feng Ji thought, "This war with the Huns may be a good opportunity..."

Zhang Lang first returned to his residence, and after giving some explanation, he led several soldiers from the Blade Force to the palace.

When he arrived at the palace, he asked the soldiers guarding the palace about the location of the Yulin General's office, and then went to the office.

After a while, I came to an inconspicuous hall. When I looked up, I saw a plaque hanging on the lintel of the hall with two big words "Gui Shu". As the name suggests, this is naturally the office of the general who guarded the palace.

He turned his head and said to the warriors beside him, "You all go down and rest." The few of them agreed with their fists and retreated.

Zhang Lang walked into the garage alone and looked around. He saw that the garage was cleaned up. It must have been done by Zhang Yeyu.

When I walked to the upper seat, I sat down and found a bamboo slip on the table. I was curious and immediately picked it up and opened it. I looked at it.

It turns out that the bamboo slips are all about the duty arrangements of the palace guards, from morning to night, from night to morning, with clear structure and clearness. Seeing the handwriting is very beautiful, you don’t have to think about it and know that this duty schedule must be written by Zhang Yeyu.

...

It was late at night, and Zhang Lang stood up and left the garrison and went to patrol the palace.

The palace at night was very quiet. From a distance, I saw the lonely lights in the palace and the palace maids walking by quickly. The unknown sound of insects suddenly came from the grass, which gave people a very sudden and harsh feeling.

Zhang Lang walked along the bluestone road toward the palace in front of him. On the way, he met a pair of palace maids who were patrolling the night. The palace maids hurriedly bowed to him and then quickly left, as if they were afraid of his appearance.

Zhang Lang couldn't help but touch his chin, and muttered with a smile: "Am I scary?" He shook his head and continued to walk forward.

Looking at the lonely environment around, Zhang Lang suddenly felt a sense of sensation, and it was not meaningful to live here!

Walking forward, his eyes turned involuntarily to the lake not far away. At this time, the lake surface was rippling with layers of beautiful waves under the reflection of the moon.

And just then, Zhang Lang saw Zhang Yeyu, the girl wearing a armored cloak, sitting by the lake looking at the night sky in a daze. At this time, Zhang Yeyu was not like a female general, but like a girl full of worries.

Zhang Lang couldn't help but be curious and walked towards her.
