Chapter 807

Duan Yu smiled, then took a step forward.

The distance between the two was not far to begin with; Duan Yu suddenly taking a step forward immediately closed the distance with Zhang Ning.

Although Zhang Ning was lowering her head, she still saw Duan Yu approaching, and her body immediately tensed up subconsciously.

Even her breathing became a bit hurried.

"Why, am I very scary?" Duan Yu asked, looking at Zhang Ning in front of him with a smile on his lips: "Is my appearance scary?"

Zhang Ning, who was lowering her head and not daring to raise it at all, only felt her heart beating rapidly.

A scent unique to a man rushed toward her.

When Duan Yu's height and physique blocked her in front, an unprecedented sense of security washed over her entire body.

"No... no..." Zhang Ning said in a small voice, lowering her head.

Duan Yu smiled.

Now that Zhang Ning hadn't entered the household yet, teasing her a little was enough.

The women of this era were not all like Su He, He Lingman, or He Lingsi.

It was very clear that the one in front of him was a shy, traditional little beauty.

A simple tease was enough.

"Hehe." Duan Yu said with a smile: "I'm joking with you. Did the Great Virtuous Teacher say why he wanted to find me?"

Zhang Ning nodded and said: "My Third Uncle, that is... that Third Uncle who calls himself the General of the People, has arrived."

Hm?

Duan Yu's gaze tightened.

Zhang Liang is here?

This...

Just now, Cheng Yu was still saying whether there was a way to lure Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang out of Quliang City.

"Is it only your Third Uncle, Zhang Liang?" Duan Yu asked hurriedly: "What about your Second Uncle, Zhang Bao?"

Zhang Ning shook her head gently and said: "My Second Uncle did not come."

"Just now I heard Second Uncle say to my father that Second Uncle wanted to have a talk with Father, but he didn't say anything else."

Zhang Bao wants to have a talk with Zhang Jiao?

Although Zhang Ning didn't say any specific content,

this shouldn't be hard to guess.

Zhang Liang coming suddenly is likely to be a peace talk.

Previously at Quliang City, Zhang Bao could be said to have placed Zhang Jiao under house arrest, and later openly betrayed Zhang Jiao's original intention, leading the Yellow Turbans to attack Yuan Shao.

Now that Zhang Jiao has suddenly led his army north, Zhang Bao must be worried that Zhang Jiao has come to deal with him.

It should be exactly that.

"Alright, wait for me for a moment, I will go over with you right now."

After Duan Yu finished speaking, he turned around and put away the map behind him.

After the two walked out of the tent together, Jia Xu, Li Ru, Cheng Yu, and the others were still outside.

Duan Yu cast his gaze toward Zhang Xiu, then gave him a wink.

Then he walked toward Zhang Jiao's tent.

Although the voices of Duan Yu and Zhang Ning speaking just now were not loud, Jia Xu and the others outside the tent had all heard the news of Zhang Liang's arrival.

Jia Xu immediately looked at Zhang Xiu and said: "Increase the number of people following the Lord Marquis, but absolutely do not alert the enemy."

Zhang Xiu nodded in understanding, then went to mobilize the men.

Not long after, Duan Yu and Zhang Ning arrived together in front of the gate of Zhang Jiao's main tent.

Before entering the tent, Duan Yu stopped and turned his head to look at Zhang Ning.

"Act naturally later. Although we don't have the reality of husband and wife, we already have the name of husband and wife."

As Duan Yu spoke, he reached out and took Zhang Ning's hand.

It was ice-cold to the touch, and there was some nervous, fragrant sweat in her palm.

Instantly, Zhang Ning felt a pair of hands that were large, heavy, and warm.

And surprisingly, this time Zhang Ning did not feel nervous.

Instead, there was an extremely secure feeling washing over her entire body.

For the first time, Zhang Ning did not avoid Duan Yu's gaze and raised her head to meet it.

It was also the first time she had looked at that both heroic and handsome face from such a close distance.

Duan Yu smiled slightly, then took Zhang Ning's hand and walked into Zhang Jiao's tent.

Just as he walked into Zhang Jiao's tent, Duan Yu saw Zhang Jiao sitting in the main seat, and Zhang Liang sitting in the position below Zhang Jiao.

"Haha."

Zhang Jiao, whose complexion was much better than it had been over a month ago, smiled and pointed at Duan Yu, saying: "Third Brother, you came just in time; let me introduce you."

"This is Ning'er's husband, Ziyi."

"Ziyi, this is my Third Brother; you can just call him Third Uncle."

Zhang Liang, who was sitting in the position below Zhang Jiao and wearing a yellow Taoist robe covered by armor, was slightly stunned and looked at Duan Yu with some surprise.

"Ning'er... Ning'er has a husband?" Zhang Liang said in surprise: "When did this happen? Last time at Quliang City..."

Zhang Jiao smiled and said: "It was not long after that; Ning'er met Ziyi in Guangzong City."

"The two felt a mutual attraction the moment they met. Third Brother, you know that I only have this one daughter, Ning'er."

"Since Ning'er likes him, naturally I have nothing to say."

Zhang Liang then turned his head to carefully examine Duan Yu.

It was fortunate that the two had not met before.

"Niece's husband... the niece's husband is really tall and heroic," Zhang Liang praised.

"Third Uncle."

Duan Yu cupped his hands and bowed to Zhang Liang.

"Good, good, good."

Zhang Liang nodded hurriedly in response.

"Ziyi, you and Ning'er sit down. There are no outsiders here; we are all family." Zhang Jiao pointed to a seat to the side.

Duan Yu glanced at Zhang Jiao, knowing what Zhang Jiao meant by this.

Calling him here was one thing to inform him, and letting him sit here and listen meant that he had nothing to hide.

Not hiding anything was the foundation of cooperation and coordination.

Duan Yu nodded, then took Zhang Ning's hand and sat down opposite Zhang Liang.

After brief pleasantries, Zhang Liang introduced the topic.

"Big Brother, actually... actually, I came this time because Second Brother asked me to."

Zhang Liang lowered his head and said somewhat embarrassedly: "Big Brother, Second Brother asked me to come mainly to apologize to you."

"Second Brother said that there were many misunderstandings with you before, but after Second Brother returned from Quliang City that day, you had already left, and Second Brother hadn't had time to say many things."

"Big Brother, actually Second Brother wasn't doing it for himself."

As Zhang Liang spoke, he looked up at the expression on Zhang Jiao's face.

"Big Brother, we are all one family; there is nothing that cannot be resolved."

"I know that Big Brother doesn't really hold a grudge against Second Brother, so I think we should all sit down as a family and have a good talk."

Zhang Jiao's face was gloomy, and one hand slowly tapped the armrest of the wooden chair.

And Duan Yu, who was sitting opposite Zhang Liang and picking up a tea bowl to drink water, narrowed his eyes.

Isn't this an excellent opportunity?

Sitting together to have a talk means that Zhang Bao will definitely be present.

Isn't this just the right opportunity to capture Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang together?

Not bad.

It really is a case of someone bringing a pillow just as you are about to sleep.

Zhang Jiao's gaze inadvertently glanced at Duan Yu.

Duan Yu immediately understood, knowing that Zhang Jiao was asking for his opinion. ===== CHAPTER 809 =====
