Chapter Twenty-Six: Silent Night

Don't look at Xizhu who has lived in Dazhu Village since he was a child, but he has a good foundation, he is also handsome, his complexion is white, and his eyes are clear.

Not only others, but also Xizhu himself is very confident in his appearance, otherwise he would not be a Xizhu boy all day long.

It's just that he has been used to wandering since he was a child, and he always brings some ruffianism, this dress, maybe wearing a dress that he hasn't worn since he can remember, and the whole person also exudes a handsome temperament.

"Huh......"

Seeing that Xu Wen was secretly unhappy when she saw that she reacted so much, she didn't show it, she just pretended not to see it.

It's still the same sentence, after all, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, but no one noticed that when Xu Wen turned her head, a touch of crimson appeared on her face again.

The two did not communicate much, and soon came to another place for the dinner that had been prepared under the guidance of the general's subordinates, but to the surprise of the two, there were not many people at the night banquet, and Xu Hanfei, the commander of the border city army, was on the upper seat, and only one person sat next to him.

It was a woman who looked graceful and luxurious, this person was the original wife of the general of the army, originally with Xu Hanfei's status and status, it was normal to have three wives and four concubines, but in addition to a group of subordinates in the general's mansion, he felt a little lonely.

"Second uncle!"

When Xu Wen and Xizhu appeared, as soon as they saw Xu Hanfei, they hurriedly stepped forward and shouted, as the second uncle of the family, Xu Hanfei For Xu Wen, the memory is mostly many years ago, but when he turned his gaze to the woman sitting next to Xu Hanfei, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a kind of awe.

"Second aunt!" Xu Wen continued to shout sensibly;

"That's what I told you about Wen'er. ”

Xu Hanfei nodded at Xizhu and Xu Wen, then turned back to the woman next to him and said.

"Come and feast!"

The woman who was called the second aunt by Xu Wen looked cold, as if she was not surprised by the arrival of Xizhu and Xu Wen.

Seeing this scene, Xu Hanfei's brows furrowed slightly, but he soon nodded to Xu Wen and Xizhu, but as a dignified iron-blooded general, he would not care too much about these trivial matters, so he quickly signaled the subordinates next to him to hurry forward to serve.

finally came to the border city from Qi County, but for Xu Wen, the atmosphere of this night was very strange, as for the next side of Dexizhu, he never spoke, but he intuitively observed this family, and also found something abnormal.

"Husband, I'm done. ”

After a while, Mrs. Xu suddenly put down the chopsticks in her hand and turned to Xu Hanfei and said, hearing her say this, Xu Wen and Xizhu both raised their heads and looked at her, but at the moment her eyes were just staring at Xu Hanfei, but Xu Hanfei only looked at the wine glass in front of her as if she had something on her mind.

"You go and rest first, I still have something to talk to Wen'er. ”

Xu Hanfei said, the woman only glanced at Xu Wen and Xizhu at this time, and then stood up, and the servant behind her hurriedly greeted her, and she turned around and left directly without looking back.

"Second uncle!"

Xu Wen looked at Xu Hanfei at this time.

"I heard the housekeeper say that you were sent by someone from Beicheng Mansion?" Xu Hanfei said;

"Beicheng Mansion?"

Xizhu and Xu Wen had a look on their faces, when they first came to the border city, they didn't know what place Beicheng Mansion was. But seeing Xu Wen and Xizhu's reactions, Xu Hanfei didn't think there was anything strange, because he had already expected some of the reasons.

"But I don't quite understand why you were targeted by them when you first arrived in the border city?"

Xu Hanfei put down the wine glass in his hand, and then looked at Xu Wen and Xizhu again.

"This ......"

Seeing Xu Hanfei's solemn appearance, it seemed that the air in the entire room was infected by his words, so Xu Wen and Xizhu forgot to look at each other, and Xu Wen told them how they entered the city and how they were sent to the general's mansion by the caravan.

"So they didn't come to you on their own initiative?"

Xu Hanfei stopped Xu Wen and Xizhu's words, and then looked at Xizhu, when he looked carefully at Xizhu again, he always felt that there seemed to be something unusual about this kid, as if a strange feeling suddenly appeared in the depths of his heart, but if he thought about it carefully, he couldn't find the source of that feeling.

"I don't know who the little brother Xizhu is?"

Because the conversation was interrupted by Xu Wen at the beginning, Xu Hanfei brought up the matter again, but although Xizhu and Xu Wen were young, they could still see from Xu Hanfei's deep brows that the Beicheng Mansion was not a good place for Xu Hanfei.

"I'm from Dazhu Village. ”

"Otake Village?"

Xu Hanfei frowned.

"What's the matter, my lord?"

Seeing Xu Hanfei's somewhat strange reaction, Xizhu chuckled again in his heart, thinking that this guy hadn't listened to Xu Wen's words and wanted to be unfavorable to himself, but then he thought about it, he was a big man, and if he wanted to deal with himself, he didn't have to beat around the bush like this, and even if he had to deal with himself so without copper coins, he had no room to resist at all.

"Not really, I just think the little brother seems to be a little familiar. ”

"Huh?"

Xizhu was stunned, and saw that Xu Hanfei had stopped paying attention to him, and then turned his head and got up and left after continuing to talk to Xu Wen about some things about the Qi County family.

After tossing for a day, Xu Wen and Xizhu glanced at each other, but they still didn't treat each other very well from their eyes.

But Xu Wen came here, and after recognizing Xu Hanfei, it was like arriving at his home in Qi County, and he quickly left under the guidance of the servant.

Xizhu's face was full of disdain, thinking that he came to this city inexplicably, the only thing brewing in his mind for the sake of the present plan was how to return to Qi County, and he didn't know what Dazhu Village looked like now.

Thinking about it, Xizhu suddenly looked at the back of Xu Wen, who was going away, and suddenly he seemed to have a hint of hallucination, and the back seemed to make him suddenly have the illusion of a heartbeat.

"Why?"

Xizhu muttered, and suddenly the scene in the Xu clan mansion in Qi County reappeared, which made Xizhu shiver all of a sudden, and secretly scolded himself that he couldn't do it because of that incident, that Xu Wen was obviously a man, and he would feel like this, but he thought that although Xu Wen was born with a male body, she looked smart, but she was not inferior to any woman he had ever seen.

It's that Xu Hanfei's eyes are always a little weird when he looks at Xu Wen, which others may not be able to see, but how can he escape Xizhu's eyes.

I was a little sleepy after thinking about it too much, but when I walked back, I unconsciously remembered the things about Beicheng Mansion.

In the dead of night, in Xu Hanfei's study, the faint light has not been extinguished, he sits in front of the desk, on which there is a somewhat old book, but from the folded surface of the book, it can be seen that this book is often read by him.

But no matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary military book, and the flames on the lamp next to it are dancing, and the whole room is so quiet that even the sound of the flames beating can be heard clearly.

After a long time, Xu Hanfei closed the military book on the table, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes slightly, at this time he looked a little tired, since he met that person in the wine shop, he has always had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, that feeling he can't speak, but it is very strong and uneasy!

Just as his eyes were closed and his mind was in turmoil, suddenly the study slowly opened, and a woman walked in, it was none other than his wife, the real mistress of the general's mansion, who walked in with a robe in her hand.

Xu Hanfei still closed his eyes and was unmoved, maybe it was the tacit understanding between the two for many years, just listening to the footsteps, he already knew who the other party was, and he also knew what the other party was going to do.

When the footsteps stopped, the robe was already draped over his body, and Xu Hanfei's hand finally slowly raised at this time and put it on the other hand that gave him a robe.

"Are they all asleep?" asked Xu Hanfei;

"Sleep, is that really Wen'er?"

"Hmm!"

Xu Hanfei replied, the two of them may have shown indifference in the past, but at this time they showed a kind of tenderness.

"You...... Have you hated me for all these years?"

Xu Hanfei said, but when he said this, the lady behind him was silent and did not answer him, but the silence seemed to be a better answer than opening his mouth, Xu Hanfei smiled helplessly, the two have been married for more than ten years, and he is still asking such words, maybe others will be surprised, but what he asked is what he can't answer for a long time in his heart.

His eyes looked at the military book on the table again, and his eyes seemed to recall: "Back then, the four of my brothers were bloody, but I never thought that after ten years of fame, I would take over the position of my eldest brother, and everyone left me, only you chose to stay by my side!" Xu Hanfei said;

"As long as you think it's right, it's right!"

Standing behind him, she said, but she said this, but Xu Hanfei smiled helplessly, and her answer would be like this every time.

"I met my second brother today!"

Xu Hanfei said suddenly, but his voice fell, and the woman behind him was stunned.

"He came back, brother to each other, but I felt as if he had changed, and he had become much stranger than I remembered. ”

"Let's rest"

didn't answer Xu Hanfei's words, but the woman behind him said suddenly;

"You go and rest first, I'll watch later"

Xu Hanfei said, behind him, she fell on the wrinkled military book, her brows furrowed slightly, and after a short hesitation, she still chose to turn around and walk towards the outside of the study.

"Madam, Chao may have been on the road, if something happens to me this time, I must remember not to be stupid again!"

Xu Hanfei suddenly spoke, but she just paused, didn't say anything, walked straight out of the house, watched the back in her eyes leave, Xu Hanfei let out a sigh, suddenly picked up a pen, and wrote three words on the table: Beicheng Mansion.

The pen fell, but he still stared at the three big words for a long time.

On this night, the bright moon was in the sky, and outside the border city, several figures rode horses side by side, looking at the outline of the border city floating in the dark night from a distance.

"What do you think of this city?" said one of them;

"Majestic and strong!" replied the other;

"It is worthy of being the first city in southern Xinjiang, after this city, it may be regarded as the real opening of the door to the country of Luo, if this city is not down, all our efforts are in vain!" another voice said;

"Then you say we'll be able to destroy this city in a few days!"

But this time everyone was silent, no one spoke, even if it had been overwhelming for a long time, for them, there was still no reason to speak, because they were facing the real gateway of the country of Luo, a place where they could really touch the majesty of the royal capital.

"March!"

After a long time, one of them suddenly spoke, as soon as he opened his mouth, no one continued, for them, breaking the first Xiongguan in southern Xinjiang in March, this kind of thing, and the previous battle with the army of Luoguo can be said to be not much different.

But it can be a miracle for something to happen once, but when you expect it to happen twice, the ending is often a big disappointment.

"If in the middle of March, this trickle of southern Xinjiang gathers into a division of 10,000 people, this city will be difficult to break!"

Finally, one person couldn't help but speak, this time his words were like a basin of cold water, which made it difficult for everyone to speak at once, because what he said was also the fact that everyone held back in their hearts and didn't want to mention.
