Chapter 158: Xiao Shangshu

After hearing Qin Feng's answer, Xie Ning finally put his mind at ease, and responded with a smile: "Brother Ziyue has Banxia to take care of, so I don't have to worry a lot." ”

After pondering for a moment, Qin Feng's gaze swept over her, and finally stopped between Xie Ning's eyes, and said softly, "What did A-Ning see?" ”

Although his words were a question, his tone was not high. Xie Ning only admitted it indirectly, and then smiled proudly: "With my eyesight, I can naturally see it." ”

"Hmm," Qin Feng replied noncommittally, gently tugging at the corners of his mouth.

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to talk more, Xie Ning didn't ask curiously, and instead talked to him about business, "I wonder if Brother Ziyue has ever read the letterhead I handed over to Brother Wuji?" ”

Qin Feng bowed slightly, and responded with his hand: "I've seen it." What is written in this letter is very appropriate, and you will do it in the future. ”

"The contents of this letter are all what Uncle Pei and his friends think," Seeing him open his mouth to praise, Xie Ning even subconsciously told him, "I also feel very thoughtful." ”

"Yes," Qin Feng suddenly looked into the distance and muttered thoughtfully, "If you have a chance in the future, you should get to know the two of you." ”

Isn't that easy? With the relationship between her and Uncle Pei, Qin Feng's wish is not difficult to achieve. Xie Ning was happy when he heard this, and was about to turn his head to talk to Qin Feng, but he saw that the other party's eyes were focused on the outside of the city gate, his eyes were thoughtful, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't look at her.

Putting away the smile on his face, Xie Ning stood aside with interest, did not take the liberty of bothering, and raised his eyes to look at the people in the middle of the city tower.

Standing in one place. But there were obviously a few more prominent people in the crowd, surrounded in the middle like stars and moons. Except for King Kuan, who was dressed in a crimson brocade suit, the other two were all Shainin had never seen before.

One person wore an ink robe and a red crown, his expression was indifferent, although he didn't say much, everyone's attitude towards him was quite respectful, it should be Qin Feng's eldest brother, and there is no doubt that His Royal Highness will be the eldest prince of the dynasty.

Compared to him, the other man's clothing was much simpler, but the crimson official robe embroidered with birds on his chest revealed his identity. He tilted his head and talked to the person next to him. Shainin caught a glimpse of his face.

I saw that the other party's fair-skinned face had a pair of extremely good-looking peach blossom eyes. There is a bit of similarity between Meiyu and Xiao Yan, combined with his identity as the son of Shangshufu, it is not difficult for Xie Ning to guess that the person who is surrounded in the middle is Xiao Shangshu, the chief officer of the Ministry of War.

It's just that these two people can't help but look too similar. It's almost like carving out of a mold.

Don't blame Shainin for slandering in his heart. It's really that the appearance of the father and son of the Xiao family is too similar. If this Lord Xiao in front of him has removed the two mustaches on his face. I'm afraid it's even more difficult to tell.

Xie Ning was still looking at the other party, but he didn't want the other party to suddenly raise his head and search around, and walked in her direction.

It can't be a peek and someone finds out, right? Xie Ning was embarrassed. Hurriedly looked away, seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, it was no longer good to pretend that he didn't see it, so he had to bite the bullet and greet him: "Lord Xiao." ”

"Miss Xie doesn't have to be polite," perhaps because he has been with Xiao Yan for a long time, Xie Ning looked at Xiao Shangshu and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and the attitude between the other party's words was also very friendly, "The old man happened to talk about you with his colleagues." ”

"Yes," Xie Ning smiled reservedly when he heard this, and his tense heart finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Xie is sassy and heroic, it has already spread in Beijing, and when I see it today, the old man knows that it is worthy of her reputation!"

Xie Ning didn't know when he became a celebrity in Beijing, and knew that the other party's words were just polite, so he also followed the Tai Chi and said: "Lord Xiao is too famous." ”

"Where is it, Miss Xie has made great achievements in suppressing bandits at such a young age, and she must be promising in the future," Xiao Shangshu shook his head slightly, first praised Xie Ning a few words, and then changed his voice, "I heard that Miss Xie and Xiao'er are very deed, Xian Nei is planning to have a lively time in the house recently, I wonder if the girl is willing to attend?" ”

According to her relationship with Xiao Yan, if this invitation was put on hold in the past, Xie Ning would naturally not refuse, but now that she still has the affairs of the martial arts hall to take care of, she can't help but hesitate for a while, it can be seen that this Xiao Shangshu has an eager look on his face, so he had to ask out loud: "I don't know when the banquet of the adult's mansion is agreed?" ”

Xie Ning's thoughts were all on his face, and Xiao Shangshu couldn't see it, but he glanced at Xie Ning with a smile, and raised his lips slightly: "Xian Nei set up a banquet, but he just wanted to get together with your daughters' families, but he didn't have any special intentions." If the girl can't spare time these days, it's good to discuss the matter when you have time. ”

The kind-looking man in front of him was the father of her friend, but looking at the black gauze hat he wore on his head, Xie Ning would not forget his other identity. If she can really pass the female officer exam and enter the military department, then this Lord Xiao will be her future boss.

In public and private, she should not refuse the invitation that the other party took the initiative to throw. Xie Ning turned his mind, nodded towards the other party, and responded: "Lord Xiao personally invited, Xie Ning naturally will not refuse." It's just that it's been too busy lately, and I don't have time to doppelgΓ€nger, so please forgive me. If you want to have a banquet in the house, please arrange it in three days, and Shainin will definitely go. ”

"The girl is really fast-talking, okay," Xiao Shangshu bowed slightly, glanced at her with satisfaction, and then said loudly: "On the day of the banquet, the old man will personally send someone to deliver the invitation." ”

"There's Lord Law."

Seeing that Xiao Shangshu had no intention of leaving, Xie Ning was naturally not stupid enough to say nothing, and casually found some military matters, and chatted with the other party about you and me. Unconsciously, the army of bandits who returned from Yandi was ushered in.

"Here we are."

There was a lot of noise under the city tower, but the first person to react was Qin Feng, who was standing at the front, Xie Ning looked up, and sure enough, he saw a neat line of troops as far as the eye could see.

Casualties are inevitable when the army goes out, but it is already a happy event to be able to return victoriously. For a moment, Xie Ning didn't care about maintaining any reserve as a woman, and the excitement that surged like a tidal wave overwhelmed her head, causing her to rush to the wall near the city gate in a gaffe, looking at the soldiers who were getting closer and closer.

"Be careful."

A clear male voice came from beside him. was about to be overwhelmed by the surging shouts, if it weren't for Qin Feng really appearing on his side, Xie Ning really thought that he was just an auditory hallucination.

The dark wide sleeves embroidered with dark lines then blocked in front of him, knowing that the other party was out of mutual protection, Xie Ning turned his head and said with a smile for a while: "Brother Ziyue, put down your hand quickly, this wall is already very high, not to mention that I have kung fu in my body." It's you, the injury on your arm is not yet complete, and you can't do anything about it, and don't be careful about Banxia turning around and complaining. ”

"Huh." Qin Feng chuckled. But he didn't withdraw his hand according to Shainin's meaning, but stubbornly said: "This place is a high place after all, you should take a step back." ”

In front of everyone's eyes, Xie Ning really couldn't do anything about him. I had to take a small step back. Stand beside each other. Raised an eyebrow at him and said, "Take a step back, it's your turn." ”

Qin Feng smiled slightly, and did not respond to Xie Ning's deliberate 'provocation'. Slowly retracted his hand.

His movements were extremely slow, and when Xie Ning saw this, he couldn't help frowning and said, "Could it be that Fang just used too much force and affected the wound?" Does it hurt? ”

Qin Feng only shook his head and responded with two words, "It's nothing." ”

Nothing? Believe in him to have ghosts. Xie Ning looked sideways with a suspicious expression, and sure enough, he found that the other party had unconsciously put his injured right arm behind him, so he said, "When you go down to the city tower, I will accompany you to find a family medical hall to have a look." ”

Noticing Xie Ning's gaze, Qin Feng smiled helplessly, raised his right hand and made a few movements flexibly, and said in a convincing tone: "The injury on my hand is already healed, don't you believe me, don't you still believe in Banxia's medical skills?" ”

"Yes," Xie Ning only thought for a moment, then nodded approvingly, and was about to say something more, but Qin Feng's voice came from his ears again-"But the wind is a little strong right now, I'll sit back for a while." Pay attention to yourself. ”

"But you're coming?" Xie Ning looked at him in puzzlement.

Forget about others, how could Qin Feng fall behind on such an occasion? Is it because you are afraid that the limelight will be too big?

But having said that, Xie Ning also had the intention of taking refuge at this time. It's not that she can't wipe her face, it's just that she is the only one on this city tower who is a woman, and Rao is that she can dress up today, wear a bearded dress and comb a high bun, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to hide her identity as a woman.

is different from half a month ago, with the help of Mama Qin, now Shaining is far from Wuxia Ameng, not to mention that today's attention is in the spotlight, if Shaining's cheeks are blackened with soot as before, it will definitely attract discussion.

She also wanted the brothers who spent time and night to know who their leaders were, but in a hurry, she was worried that they would find it difficult to accept.

"Brother Ziyue," Xie Ning's mind moved, and he called Qin Feng in a loud voice, "I'll go over with you." ”

Hearing this, Qin Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a faint smile, "Are you worried about my body?" So go down and add some clothes, and I'll be back later." You're just waiting here, how about it? ”

Xie Ning's original intention was not like this, but since Qin Feng said this, she didn't want to force it, and nodded towards the other party, but her face couldn't help but show a trace of disappointment that could not be concealed.

Qin Feng saw it in his eyes, but he turned around and left quietly.

In a short time, the army of bandits marched all the way to the gate of the city. Shainin looked down from the tower, and could even distinguish the names and surnames of those who walked ahead.

After all, it was the soldier he brought out with his own hands, looking at the iron-armored silver spear roaring in, Xie Ning's heart suddenly swelled with pride, and the worry about his identity was gone.

For this group of soldiers who have just returned from the Yandi bandits, she is Ning Xie, the sect leader in Tianlin Fang. But whether it's Ning Xie or Shaining, isn't it all her? The time spent together will not disappear, and the friendship that has been practiced together will not be faked, and she believes that everyone can understand her suffering, understand her concerns, and believe that they will understand her approach.

With a "squeak", the gates opened, and the uniformly equipped teams entered in order, cheers and cheers filled their ears, and the whole city was waiting to greet them. But one of the procession was led to the tower.

"The last general, Hou Zheng, I have seen your Highnesses, your lords!" The person who came hugged his fists and saluted, but did not look at the people in front of him, and raised his voice directly.

Xie Ning's gaze was involuntarily attracted by the other party, but there were several princes in front, and from where she was now, all she could see was half of the other party's body.

It's just that there are only three people in front of you? Where did Qin Feng go? Xie Ning looked back anxiously, and only then did he find the figure of the other party slowly approaching.

But seeing him wearing a moon-white cloak, the whole person became more and more noble, like snow falling on the plum branches in the middle of winter, spotless and not like a mortal.

Xu knew that he was late, Qin Feng walked straight in the direction of Hou Zheng, and did not stop for half a moment on the way to come, and chuckled: "Captain Hou doesn't need to be polite. ”

"His Royal Highness King An!" When Hou Zheng heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his head to look at Qin Feng, who also had a corresponding jaw head.

"The emperor has an order," the little chamberlain standing on the side suddenly stepped forward, shook the dust in his hand, and then took out the yellow silk holy decree from the incense case on the side, pulled open the scroll, and said sharply: "You were ordered to go to Yandi to clean up the banditry, and what you did was very kind." I hereby give the name to the Yan Wu camp, ten taels of silver, three stones of yellow rice, to comfort the hearts of the army! Chin this! ”

This decree came suddenly, don't say it's Hou Zheng, even Xie Ning, who has been in Beijing and went to the palace to face the saint a few days ago, was a little caught off guard for a while, but he still listened to the reminder of the chamberlain for a while, and only then did he come back to his senses from the surprise - "Captain Hou, take the order!" ”

Hou Zheng has always been shrewd, so he immediately knelt forward to receive this holy decree, held it high above his head, and shouted: "The last general, Hou Zheng, on behalf of the people in the Yan Wuying camp, thank my emperor for his grace!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”

Seeing that he had accepted the decree, the crowd of people kneeling down and down the tower also got up, and watched him walk down the tower with steady steps, and returned to the middle of the procession, holding the holy decree all the way, and marching around the city according to the original plan.

As for Xie Ning and the others, they went down to the city tower after the crowd was far away. Today, all the soldiers returned triumphantly, and the military department had already booked a restaurant for them to pick up the wind and wash the dust, and even all the princes would be present, Xiao Shangshu had already mentioned it to Xie Ning, but she couldn't refuse.

However, judging from the current enthusiasm of the people in the city, the soldiers of Yan Wuying are going around the streets this time, and I am afraid it will take a while to finish. Xiao Shangshu asked the opinions of the princes, and led everyone to the restaurant that had already booked the scene.

Coincidentally, this restaurant is the Yunzhilou that Xie Ning visited not long ago. Thinking of the experience at that time, Xie Ning couldn't help but cast a glance at Qin Feng, who was walking a few steps in front of her, but the other party seemed to have something on his mind, but he didn't pay attention to the gaze she cast. (To be continued.) )
