At night, Yu Ruoxu leaned on the collapse to read a book, and found that the light in the room was getting dimmer and dim, and said casually, "Amber, can you help me light more lights?" ”

There was the sound of footsteps around him, the light brightened, and the handwriting on the book was finally clear. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Yu Ruoxu suddenly felt that something was wrong, raised her eyes and saw that it was Xiao Huaining holding a candlestick and tiptoeing towards her.

"How did you get in?"

Xiao Huaining showed a cramped look on his face, "Amber helped my senior sister boil medicine, I ......"

Yu Ruoxu was angry every time she saw his obedient appearance, "What are you looking for me?" ”

"I just want to come and see if my senior sister is better." Xiao Huaining said in a low voice, "Senior Sister refused to see me before, I really can't rest assured." ”

"Do you know why I don't want to see you?"

"I have severely punished the soldiers who chewed the root of their tongues, and strictly ordered that they should not talk about my senior sister anymore." Xiao Huaining raised his eyes and looked at her fixedly, "Senior sister, don't think about it. ”

Yu Ruoxu smiled mockingly, "I don't dare to think about General Xiao who is famous in Jiangnan." ”

Xiao Huaining seemed to be choked, since the two reunited, she has almost always been like this to him, sarcastic, cold, and never had a good face, he should have been used to it a long time ago, but he still wanted to be held in his heart, and he frowned in pain, "Senior sister...... Let's not do this, okay? ”

Yu Ruoxu thought that he would leave in silence again as before, but he didn't expect him to suddenly say such a thing.

"And what do you want?"

Xiao Huaining looked at her, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

Yu Ruoxu couldn't bear it anymore, "If you don't have anything to say, go out." “

It happened that Amber came back with the freshly fried medicine, and when she saw Xiao Huaining in the house, she couldn't help but be startled, and she stammered when she spoke, "Will...... Checkmate. “

Xiao Huaining glanced at her, "Take good care of Miss Yu." With that, he departed.

Amber blew on the steaming potion with a relieved look. Yu Ruoxu asked, "Are you afraid of him?" ”

Amber nodded and sent the medicine bowl to her, "In the entire Jiangnan, there is no one who is not afraid of General Xiao. ”

Yu Ruoxu raised his head and swallowed the bitter medicine, then took the candied kumquat that was handed to his mouth with amber, and said vaguely, "I really didn't see it." “

"The slave maid heard that during the siege of Huiji, General Xiao skinned the Liang family guarding the city alive, and put it in a box and sent it to the capital, which scared the big men in the capital so much that they almost fainted on the spot."

Yu Ruoxu sneered, "My junior brother...... It's amazing. ”

Amber vaguely felt that there was something unusual between Yu Ruoxu and Xiao Huaining, and she didn't dare to ask more. However, she had never seen Xiao Huaining speak so low to a person, and she admired Yu Ruoxu a little in her heart.

As soon as Xiao Huaining walked out of Yu Ruoxu's courtyard, he saw Cui Sheng hurriedly walking forward, "Master, there is new news from the Hangzhou Navy Division, and the military and Vice General Zhang are waiting for you in the study." ”

Xiao Huaining paused, "Vice General Zhang came back so soon?" “

"I rushed back from Huaiyin last night, saying that I had something urgent to tell the general, and I happened to encounter a secret report sent by the spies, so the military advisor left him to wait for the general to pass."

"In a hurry?" Xiao Huaining sneered, "I'm afraid I'm in a hurry to explain what the two million taels of silver are all about." ”

Cui Sheng didn't dare to answer, and strode towards the study behind Xiao Huaining.

Before entering the door, Xiao Huaining heard Zhang Xiling's loud voice, "Military advisor, I heard that the general personally went to the capital to rob the daughter-in-law of the Liang thief who had not passed the door, is it true?" ”

Qiao Huanyan lowered his voice and said, "The general has already instructed, don't talk about this matter more, what are you mentioning here?" ”

"The general can't fall for the beauty trick, right?" Zhang Xiling was a little dissatisfied, "When is this coming, the sailors of the imperial court are almost on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and there is still this time......

There was a sudden pressure at the door, Zhang Xiling turned his head, and his face changed instantly, "General." ”

Xiao Huaining didn't have any expression on his face, just glanced at Zhang Xiling, "From Huaiyin to Guangling, it will take more than half a day's work to say the least, but it is hard for the deputy general, in order to remind me a few words, he rushed back overnight regardless of the military order." ”

Zhang Xiling said, "The general laughed, I heard that someone around the general gave me a hat of embezzling military salaries, and I couldn't afford this fame, so I rushed back to make it clear to the general." ”

Qiao Huanyan suddenly stood up and arched his hand, "General, I just received the latest news from the Hangzhou Navy Division, and I would like to ask the general to take a look at it first." With that, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Xiao Huaining.

Zhang Xiling wanted to say something, but was stopped by Qiao Huanyan.

Xiao Huaining took the paper and looked at it carefully, then took it to the candle and burned it.

Right now...... This is not yet the time to liquidate corruption.

"The sailors have arrived on the south shore in the early hours of this morning, and 30 of the 48 ships are equipped with artillery, and their combat effectiveness is extremely strong. After a few days, the wind direction is right, and I am afraid that it will come. “

"It's about the same as we expected." Qiao Huanyan said, "Abandon Guangling and take Qingzhou?" “

"Let's sing them an empty city plan." Xiao Huaining said in a deep voice, "Strategist, Guangling will be handed over to you." The adjutant general led Huaiyin's army north to Qingzhou with me. “

Zhang Xiling and Qiao Huanyan's expressions were grim, and they didn't care about anything else, "Understood." “

"In addition, there is another news." Xiao Huaining chuckled, "Xianbei Khan Tuoba Gui is dead. “

Qiao Huanyan was stunned when he heard this, "The one who succeeded to the throne was ......."

"Ning Wang Tuoba Jue."
