Xiao Wanyao lowered her head slightly, her brows furrowed, the right prime minister is a civil official, the left prime minister is a military general, his father has been fighting horses all his life, holding military power, Tang Siqi can't find himself, he can't win over his father, he must be trying to weaken his father's power to consolidate his position, so he wants to take over the military power in the hands of Prime Minister Zuo, and now Xue Tianao has some military power, but compared to the military power in his father's hands, it is not enough to threaten him.

If he wants to sit firmly, Tang Siqi can't let the power of anyone in the city and countryside be too great, and it is best to maintain balance, so he doesn't want to send people under the right prime minister to send troops, "This is very in line with the emperor's personality, my father set up a Wenyuan in the capital, and wanted to recruit talents and consolidate his position in the palace, and the right prime minister wanted the military power in his father's hands." Xiao Wanyao sneered, it was really a bit ironic.

Xue Tianao's face also sank slightly, "Your father asked Tang Siqi to find you, and even hoped that you could enter the palace, so that your father promised Tang Siqi to send troops to support, the right prime minister has a queen in the palace, and your father also hopes that you can make a difference in the palace." Xiao Wanyao smiled again, now that Xiao Wanrou is married to Zhou Xinning, her father only has these two daughters, and she saved the queen mother at the beginning, if she can enter the palace, he must think that it must be easy for him to be favored, so he still does not give up the idea of letting himself enter the palace.

Father, father, isn't the happiness of your daughter's life just a bargaining chip in your hand? Seeing Xiao Wanyao's face becoming more and more ugly, Xue Tianao knew that she must have recalled the previous events, so he enlightened her, "You haven't seen your uncle for many years, and he is the one who really loves you, if he comes here, he can go and meet him." ”

Xiao Wanyao smiled faintly and didn't speak, Xue Tianao continued, "The letter also said that the people who accompanied Xiao Ze here, as well as Wanrou's husband Zhou Xinning, presumably your father also wants to support this son-in-law." The smile on Xiao Wanyao's face suddenly froze, and the original light smile suddenly turned into a sneer, she still thought that if her uncle really came over, she wanted to meet him, but she didn't expect Zhou Xinning to come, if he knew that he was here, he would definitely tell the people in the capital.

In fact, Xue Tianao's worries were the same as Xiao Wanyao's, but he looked at her but didn't know how to comfort her, she sighed slightly, "Father naturally wants to make himself more powerful in the court, although Zhou Xinning can't afford Adou, he must also want him to 'get ahead' as much as possible, so it's good for Wanrou." Then he thought about it, "This is not quite like my father's style, but more like Liu Ruyun's approach." But no matter who it is, they naturally want Wanrou to live a better life. ”

Although these words came out of her own mouth, she was so uncomfortable in her heart, and her eyes couldn't help but show a cold light, she would never expect them to live better than herself. It's just that for her, the only family members may be her aunt and uncle who adopted her.

Just when Xiao Wanyao was immersed in the original pain, a pair of big hands grabbed her cold hand, and she looked at him, as if it was a wordless comfort, and neither of them said anything.

Xiao Ze's reinforcements did not arrive until ten days later, and on the other hand, Zhentian went to the Yan State military camp, burned their cotton clothes for the winter, and also set a fire in the barracks, burning a lot of their grain and grass. And the Yan army really withdrew to the previously captured state and county Bazhou as Xiao Wanyao predicted.

This naturally made Xue Tianao breathe a sigh of relief, and also greatly appreciated Xiao Wanyao's alertness, and specially set up a banquet for Xiao Wanyao and some other subordinates. The banquet was naturally very lively, and Xiao Wanyao also attended in full costume, but Xiao Wanyao did not grow up from Prime Minister Zuo's mansion since she was a child, and she didn't spend much time in the capital, so although most of the generals here are from the capital, they don't know Xiao Wanyao very well.

Xiao Wanyao also tried to keep a low profile and not let them pay too much attention to themselves. Xue Tianao at the banquet was very happy and drank a lot of wine, but there was one person who was in the opposite mood to others, and that person was Gong Qing, since she burned Xiao Wanyao's hand last time, Xue Tianao didn't let her continue to serve by her side.

Gong Qing was not a subordinate in the first place, and serving Xue Tianao was just her own passion, so after leaving Xue Tianao's side, she had nothing to do all day, and the only thing she did was to find a way to drive Xiao Wanyao away from him. She knew that Xiao Wanyao was definitely not that simple, so she had been carefully observing her behind her back.

Although Xiao Wanyao kept a low profile as much as possible and talked to less people around her, and Xue Tianao also tried not to go to her as much as possible, her beauty still attracted many soldiers in the military camp, and some young people even found her to drink with her, naturally these people didn't know her relationship with Xue Tianao.

An unknown young general, who had been staring at her throughout the banquet, finally mustered up the courage and walked up to her with a wine glass, "Can the girl have a drink with her face?" Xiao Wanyao was also happy, nodded and raised her wine glass, and drank it. The soldier thought that Xiao Wanyao was interested in him, so he sat down beside her, and after a few words, he actually began to do something to her.

After all, it was Xue Tianao's subordinate, Xiao Wanyao naturally endured it, she got up and wanted to leave, but the young general grabbed her sleeve and pulled it hard, and her slender body was pulled into his arms, Xiao Wanyao's face sank, and she was naturally very unhappy, so she hurriedly pulled out of his arms, her hand had already wiped off the silver needle on her body, Zhu'er had been by her side, and immediately helped Xiao Wanyao to push the little soldier away, "This son, please be respectful." ”

The little soldier had already drunk too much, and he couldn't care about it so much, so he pulled Zhu'er's mouth and leaned towards her face, the people around him were all soldiers in the barracks, and they naturally liked this kind of excitement, they all stood aside and laughed and watched, but no one made a move, but Zhu'er, who would do martial arts himself, punched him in the stomach, the little soldier was in pain, let go of his hand, Zhu'er was able to escape, and returned to Xiao Wanyao's side, "Girl, let's go!" ”

But before he turned around, he was stopped by another young soldier, "Where is the girl?" The general is happy today, please drink, why don't you stay with us for a while? Xiao Wanyao's eyes sank, sneered, took out a silver needle from her body, and was about to stab at the little soldier and give him some color to see, when a strong and domineering voice came from not far away, "Presumptuous, do you know who she is?" How dare you be so rude. The faces of the people around him were suffocated, and more than half of them were sober, and they all hurriedly retreated to the side to make way for the visitors.

The person who came was none other than Xue Tianao. Xiao Wanyao's face was extremely ugly at this time, "Come on, pull these two people out, and each beat twenty military sticks, and see who dares to be presumptuous here." After the loud voice, he walked up to Xiao Wanyao and immediately changed his tone, "Wanyao, are you okay?" ”

Xiao Wanyao glanced at her coldly, "You really should discipline your subordinates more!" After speaking, she turned around and left with Zhu'er, she was angry, if Xue Tianao hadn't arrived in time, the punishment of the soldiers would have been much worse than that of the twenty military sticks. Everyone saw Xue Tianao whispering in front of that woman, after the news came out, there was one more hot topic to discuss after tea and dinner in the Wei army camp, that is, what kind of character is the woman General Xue fell in love with?

People who have been to that banquet said that Xiao Wanyao was superb, and her appearance was even more beautiful. It's just that I don't know which high-ranking official's daughter will follow Xue Tianao to fight here. There are different speculations, everyone only knows her surname Xiao, but they don't know what her name is, but this is not important to these soldiers, the important thing is that they are likely to have a general's wife like a fairy.

Gong Qing was also at the banquet, originally thinking that she could see Xiao Wanyao making a fool of herself, but she didn't expect Xue Tianao to help her. In the end, she also punished the two soldiers, seeing that Xue Tianao cared so much about Xiao Wanyao, she naturally couldn't stand it in her heart. That night she drunk herself, wanted to be completely drunk, and no longer thought about the people in front of her and the things in front of her.

Xiao Wanyao returned to her residence, she was still not in a very good mood, Zhu'er persuaded her, "There are some rough people in the army, how can there be so many literati and scholars, the girl still wants to open some, these people are just ordinary people, fortunately, Xue Gongzi has already punished them, and no one will dare to provoke the girl in the future." ”

Xiao Wanyao was stunned, she didn't think about this matter, "Zhu'er, you teach me to practice martial arts." Zhu'er was slightly stunned, and then smiled, "Girl, are you kidding?" Practicing martial arts is not so easy, most people start practicing martial arts since childhood, and when they grow up, their muscles and bones have been formed, and they may suffer a lot if they practice martial arts again. Xiao Wanyao took a deep breath, "I'm not afraid of hardship, but it's very useful to use it for self-defense in the future, every time I encounter such a thing, I am always at the mercy of others, and I don't want to taste this taste again." ”

Zhu'er thought that Xiao Wanyao was just angry, so she replied casually, "If the girl really wants to, Zhu'er can teach the girl a few tricks to defend herself, and she can deal with ordinary ruffians." Xiao Wanyao nodded, it seems that it is very necessary to practice martial arts.

Xue Tianao was drunk at night, and wanted to go to Xiao Wanyao, he knew that she was angry, but many soldiers here could not be left alone, and after the banquet was over, he hurriedly came to Xiao Wanyao's residence, but the light was already dark inside, he stood outside and knocked a few times, no one answered, so he went back to his residence to sleep.

After the banquet was over, Gong Qing wanted to go to Xue Tianao, but was stopped by the guards in front of him, "Gong girl, General Xue has already rested, you better go back." Seeing that Gong Qing was very drunk, the guard kindly reminded him. However, Gong Qing didn't follow, "Sleeping? He just came back and slept? Or is he not here at all, did he go to Xiao Wanyao? I'll go find him. Gong Qing couldn't stand still, turned around and walked towards Xiao Wanyao, but was stopped by the guards in front of Xue Tianao's door, "Gong girl, General Xue is not at Miss Xiao's place, and Miss Xiao has also fallen asleep in the morning, you better go back." I should be unhappy to disturb Miss Xiao and General Xue. ”

When Gong Qing heard the guard say this, her eyes turned cold, and she slapped the guard, "What kind of dog are you?" How about I provoke Xiao Wanyao? Xue Tianao can't take care of her in every way? I can't even go to her? Who is she Xiao Wanyao? Why do you all do this to her, me? I've paid so much to you, why are you so kind to me? By now, you don't even look at me with your eyes, why? ”R1154
