When Xia Chen came to the courtyard, he saw Wei Han anxiously pacing back and forth, and when he saw her come out, he immediately came over and asked, "How is it?" They didn't embarrass you, did they? ”

Xia Chen pursed his lips: "It's me who didn't embarrass them, okay?" ”

Wei Han smiled: "Chen'er is the most measured. ”

"You only know now!"

While speaking, the two had already left Yan Zixuan, and Wei Han asked in a low voice, "What to do with this family?" ”

Xia Chen said: "What to dispose of or not, let them stay here for a few days first." ”

Wei Han said in surprise: "Hey, those two women dare to set me up, and they want to cook raw rice into rice, but you have been squatting on the wall to watch a good show, you are too irresponsible for me, in case I lose my body...... Ouch, what are you kicking me for? ”

Xia Chen couldn't laugh or cry: "It's light to kick you, I just let you probe a few words, but you and they are eating and drinking, and pretending to be drunk!" What heart do you have in peace? ”

Wei Han said: "Of course I want to see what kind of medicine they sell in their gourds." ”

Xia Chen raised his chin: "I don't think so, if it weren't for my cousin wanting to drug you, but directly throwing yourself into your arms, I'm afraid you would be happy to take advantage of this." ”

Wei Han grimaced: "You really know me, it's no fun to be drugged, but your cousin is not a good person in the first place." ”

Xia Chen shrugged his shoulders: "I remember that some people said that she was a rare good girl. ”

Wei Han didn't admit it: "Who said that?" Says who? ”

Xia Chen laughed for a while: "Anyway, she is also a beauty, and she can fry good vegetables and embroider good flowers." Although she is a little vain, one day she really likes someone, and she will definitely be out of the hall and into the kitchen. A good wife who can be careful with his calculations. ”

Wei Han shook his hand again and again: "Come on, don't you know that vanity is difficult to change?" And the possibility of deterioration is so great that I can't stand it. After that, he patted Xia Chen on the forehead with a smile: "I'd rather live with you for the rest of my life than her." ”

Xia Chen couldn't help but feel hot: "I might as well find ...... for the rest of my life with you."

Wei Han smiled and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Xia Chen gave him a fierce look: "Find a pig!" ”

Wei Han's face immediately collapsed, and then he became smug again: "You are a man, you are definitely jealous of me when you say this." But fortunately you are a man, otherwise my life would have been ruined. ”

"Why?" Xia Chen blurted out.

Wei Han said with a serious face: "If you are a woman, you will definitely like me, and I can't get rid of it when I want to." Oops! ”

Xia Chen's phoenix eyes rose upside down when he heard this: "Your guy's skin is definitely thicker than the city wall!" Suddenly, she remembered something: "I have something I want to ask Brother Yue, you can go with me." ”

"Hmm."

When they came to Yue Feiyun's courtyard, only the light in the study was on, and the two of them came directly to the study.

Yue Feiyun's whole person was almost buried in the book. When he heard the door knock, he looked up: "It's you." ”

Wei Han glanced around: "Feiyun." Are you preparing to be the top student in the liberal arts exam again? ”

Yue Feiyun rubbed his sour eyes and smiled bitterly, "I don't have this plan yet. ”

"And what are you?"

Yue Feiyun beckoned to them: "You find a place to sit by yourself." With that, he turned his head and went to the bookcase.

Xia Chen couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Yue, what are you looking for?" Do you want us to help you? ”

Yue Feiyun said: "I was looking for a book called "Preparing for War", I clearly remembered that it was placed in the drawer on the lower level of the bookcase, but I couldn't find it. Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Wei Han: "During the time I left, have you been to the study?" ”

Wei Han shook his head and said, "I haven't been here since you left, until that day and Chen'er moved in, but we didn't come to your yard either." ”

Yue Feiyun frowned: "Strange, weird." ”

Wei Han said: "Feiyun." Is that book important to you? ”

Yue Feiyun said: "It's not important or not, but I suddenly remembered that there are a few articles in the book about how to train the new army." And how to use people's psychology to arrange the array, anyway, I won't go back to the border in the short term, I want to study it as a relief from boredom. ”

Xia Chen said: "Brother Yue said that he will not return to the border in the short term, is the peace talks completed?" ”

Yue Feiyun said: "The news should be reliable. By the way, you came to me for something? ”

Xia Chen said: "The last time I came, there happened to be a General Yan who came to visit Brother Yue, do you remember this?" ”

"Hmm." Yue Feiyun nodded and motioned for her to continue.

Xia Chen said: "I want to know the details of this person." ”

Wei Han looked at Yue Feiyun: "What Chen'er said about General Yan is Yan Song?" Has he been here? ”

Yue Feiyun said: "Before, he wanted to stay in Beijing, and after a long time of moving up and down, the emperor finally got it." At this time, he didn't want to stay in the capital, so he came to beg me to talk to my father and find an opportunity to arrange for him to go back to the barracks. ”

Wei Leng snorted: "Even if the barracks is his home, he can't leave as soon as he wants, he can stay if he wants, not to mention why is he tossing so much?" ”

Yue Feiyun snorted disdainfully: "As soon as the peace talks are completed, many soldiers who serve will return to their hometowns, and the standing army will also be transferred, thinking that he is aiming for the profit of this." ”

Xia Chen said: "He is the nephew of Taiwei Yan, if you don't go to Taiwei Yan for this matter, you don't even look for General Yue, why did you come to find Brother Yue?" ”

Yue Feiyun said: "This ...... I didn't quite figure it out either. ”

Wei Han said: "Then what else does he say besides looking for an opportunity to transfer back to the barracks?" ”

Yue Feiyun thought for a moment: "I casually talked about a few generals in the army, but it just showed that he was able to mix in the military camp." ”

Xia Chen thought about Yan Servant's attitude towards Yan Song, and thought to himself that he probably knew that the Yan family didn't treat him as a relative very much, and General Yue had always been prestigious, so he probably wouldn't pay attention to his boring request, so he came to find Yue Feiyun.

Wei Han stretched: "The peace talks are successful, I really don't know whether to celebrate or regret." ”

Xia Chen glanced at the two of them: "Although the peace talks seem to be smooth, I'm afraid there will be a series of turmoil after that." ”

Wei Han was stunned: "Why does Chen'er think like this?" ”

Xia Chen said: "After fighting for decades and suddenly stopping fighting, wouldn't it be a lifetime of farming." Suddenly you don't plant the same? For many soldiers, fighting war has become a profession, so where do so many armies go? Let them go home to farm, what if the people of Xuanguo do not keep their promises. Continue to raise, even if the court is willing, the common people are afraid that they will not be, and those soldiers are afraid that they are in a hurry to go home and reunite with their relatives. ”

Yue Feiyun said: "Yes, this matter must be handled carefully, a little bit of guidance." ”

Wei Han said: "Let's also take a look at Xuanguo's movements first." ”

Xia Chen glanced at him: "Don't you still know where the root of the difference between the Xuan Kingdom army and the Great Cloud Kingdom is?" ”

Wei Han was a little dazed: "Where is it?" ”

Xia Chen said: "The soldiers of the Xuanguo Kingdom are good at riding and shooting, and they are highly mobile. It's not because they're born with these gifts, or how different their body structure is from us, it's because of their habits. To put it simply, they are warriors when they pick up swords, and shepherds when they pick up horsewhips, and if we want to train a team of cavalry in the Great Cloud Country, we will not be able to go to the battlefield for three or five years. ”

Yue Feiyun said in surprise: "Chen'er." Where do you get these things from? Art? Still is? ”

Xia Chen smiled slightly: "I like to read the art of war. The so-called adaptation to local conditions, of course, is not written in the book, I can draw inferences. Besides, I have lived in the north for many years, and most children in the north can ride horses at a very young age, but not many can ride horses in the Central Plains. ”

Yue Feiyun said: "So I wanted to recruit a few thousand people in the north and train a group of elite horsemen. ”

Wei Han said: "Although this idea is good, it is not a good time now, and it looks like there is no war." Who is still a soldier? ”

Yue Feiyun said: "This is indeed a problem, but I think if I write to the emperor." Turn many soldiers into elite soldiers, he should agree, and add some silver pay appropriately, and someone will still come. ”

Xia Chen always felt that there was something wrong with this, but she couldn't think of the problem for a while. "Brother Yue, I think it's better to take it slow first."

Yue Feiyun said: "I have made up my mind, even if the emperor does not agree, I will convince my father, and there will definitely be someone willing to support me at that time." ”

Wei Han slapped the table: "I'm the first to support you!" I don't believe those Xuanguo people. ”

Xia Chen thought for a moment: "It's not an overnight thing, Brother Yue still needs to take a look at the shape and plan carefully." ”

Yue Feiyun said "um": "I don't want to take the topic away, why did you think of asking Yan Song, Chen'er?" ”

Xia Chen said: "Listening to my uncle, this person seems to be inextricably linked to my father's affairs. ”

Yue Feiyun frowned slightly: "I don't know much about him, I only know that no one in the army looks down on him, but they don't want to offend him, and he himself seems to know, so they all tacitly turn a blind eye to each other." ”

Xia Chen pondered for a moment: "Brother Yue, Taiwei Yan and Qin are civil officials, why are their hands stretched out so long?" ”

Yue Feiyun said: "Chen'er, people like my father and General Li, who hold military power, are afraid of the emperor and have a lot of weapons, and for the generals to fight outside all the year round, if someone talks nonsense around the emperor all day long, how dangerous it will be." In addition, military salaries and many battle schedules must first go through the military department, if any of these people deliberately delay and make things difficult, how can this battle be fought? ”

Xia Chen immediately understood, it would be dangerous if he didn't get along with this country, even if General Yue couldn't get used to those people, he still had to give the other party some face and maintain a passable superficial relationship.

"Brother Yue, Yan Qin's party will never have no one in the army, right? Like my great uncle. ”

Yue Feiyun said: "Naturally, there are, and there are not a few, the most powerful is General Xue stationed at Baishui Pass." ”

Xia Chen said in surprise: "General Xue? "When I was in Qingzhou, the people there regarded General Xue as a god-like figure, because he was stationed at Baishui Pass for more than ten years, and there was almost no large-scale war in the Qingzhou area.

Now that I think about it, things may not be so simple, otherwise why would other places be in full swing, only the northeast is more peaceful than in peacetime? As far as she knew, there were not many troops stationed in Qingzhou, and there were almost no fortifications in other places except for Tianwei and Chengguan, even if a large-scale battle was not good for Xuanguo, it was definitely easier to attack a small group than to go to other heavily guarded places, and the benefits were more, you must know that there were no residents and merchants in a radius of 100 miles near Beiyan Pass and Tongguan.

Yue Feiyun saw that Xia Chen's expression was a little wrong, and said with concern: "Chen'er, don't worry, if this person is really related to your father's affairs, we will always find out." ”

Xia Chen came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "Hmm." She didn't explain much, she suddenly didn't want to investigate Yan Song, if she guessed correctly, this person was not much more important than the role played by Xia Qingyang in the whole incident.

Wei Han said: "Feiyun, let's go out and find a place to have a drink, it just so happens that Chen'er and I haven't had dinner yet." ”

Xia Chen raised his eyebrows: "Didn't someone just now specially fry two side dishes for Wei Gongzi and scald a pot of good wine?" ”

Wei Han touched his nose: "Yes, yes, but I didn't eat a few bites." ”

Yue Feiyun said with a smile: "If the two of you don't quarrel one day, the sun will definitely come out of the west." ”

The three of them came to the street together, and the cool night breeze blew their hair across their faces, which was indescribably gentle and comfortable.

Yue Feiyun said: "Yongning Lane is not far from here, it should be lively at this time, let's find a restaurant there to eat, right?" ”

Wei Han said: "I have this intention, I heard that the newly opened Shili Xiang, the wine and food are very good." After that, he looked at Xia Chen: "Is there a better place for Chen'er to go?" ”

As soon as Xia Chen heard Shilixiang, he immediately remembered Qilixiang. "Let's go to Shilixiang, I absolutely believe Brother Wei when it comes to eating and drinking."

Wei Han said unconvinced: "It's as if I'm a wine bag and a rice bag." ”

Yue Feiyun's tone was very strict: "It turns out that you know it yourself." ”

Wei Han shouted: "Feiyun, you! You're a friend. ”

Xia Chen's laughter stopped abruptly: "What are you talking about?" ”

Wei Han said: "I said you are good-looking." ”

Talking and laughing, I have come to the mouth of Yongning Alley, and the red lights are hanging high in the distance, coupled with the sound of ushering in and sending one after another, a prosperous scene.

Yue Feiyun pointed forward: "Shili Xiang is not far away." ”

Xia Chen followed his point, four red lanterns were written on the ten, li, fragrant, wine, and found that it was not the aftertaste of the reopening, she secretly laughed that she was a little too careful, many restaurants like to use this kind of name to attract customers, that is, elegant and easy to remember.

When I came to the door of the store, a guy immediately greeted me: "Three guest officers, please." ”

The business of the restaurant is indeed good, the hall is full, and some customers think that they have come early, and they are already a little drunk, and they talk loudly.

Xia Chen couldn't help frowning, she had never liked people who didn't have alcohol, and she didn't like to eat in noisy places, which was completely different from eating snacks on the side of the road.

Wei Han said to the guy: "There can be a quiet private room on the second floor. ”

The guy hurriedly said: "The three of them came by coincidence, there is a table of guests upstairs who has just left, and it should have been cleaned up." ”

As soon as I went up the stairs, I met three drunk, well-dressed but vulgar young men walking down.

One of the green-clothed young men saw Xia Chen and them, a pair of drunken and hazy eyes suddenly lit up, and he stretched out his hand to block the way: "A few little boys are so handsome, can you make friends?" (To be continued......)
