Chapter 288: The Wind Comes

Xiao Shiji looked up and smiled, as if he didn't pay attention to it at all.

Xu Yanbang touched his chin and looked at Xiao Shiji with a thoughtful expression, is there anything he doesn't know about in his heart? remembered that when he was in the Xu family, his father Xu Shao also smiled and persuaded him not to worry, saying that Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe never did anything unprepared. Since Shuang'er dared to shoot through Cui Saburo's two arms with a crossbow, she must have "no fear".

Xu Yanbang didn't listen to it at all, and felt that it was his father's perfunctory remarks again. Because the last time Du Hengxue married Sun Yaozu, it was his father Xu Shao who facilitated it, although Xue'er was also willing to marry him, but in Xu Yanbang's heart, his beloved would not be wrong, even if there was a mistake, it was the fault of others who misled her. So he secretly blamed Du Hengxue's misfortune and the suffering he suffered in that marriage for more than a year on his father Xu Shao.

So this time, Xu Shao told him that Du Hengshuang would be fine, Xu Yanbang couldn't listen to it at all, plus he had been thinking about Du Hengxue, and wanted to find a way to come and take a look at her, so he mustered up the courage and came to the Marquis of Zhuguo's Mansion early in the morning.

Xiao Shihe's laughter gradually stopped, and when he saw Xu Yanbang's slightly thoughtful appearance, he nodded slightly, and said softly: "Don't worry, this time, even if you want to suffer a loss, you will only suffer a small loss, and you will get all of it back for me later." ”

Xu Yanbang also lowered his voice, "What do you say?" You and my dad are mysterious. He thought about it carefully, as if he was more convinced of Xiao Shiji's ability. Perhaps it was the reason why he fought under Xiao Shiji in those two years in Shuobei and was deeply impressed by Xiao Shiji's ability.

He remembers it best. Even when Xiao Shiji was at his most vulnerable, he could bluff, and his suspicious tactics were endless, and he also had the nickname of "Desert Fox" in Shuobei. The Turks said that he was cunning, but the soldiers of the Great Qi loved him for his ability to surprise soldiers, especially to win more with less. Originally, the Great Qi people had long lost more than won against the Turkic army. It was Prince Yi who brought Xiao Shiji over to garrison, which reversed the situation and turned it into more wins and fewer losses.

For the soldiers of Daqi. Confidence is strengthened from one battle after another in which less wins more. After the worst. When the soldiers of Great Qi faced the murderous Turks, they had no fear. The Turks who were defeated again and again convinced Daqi that the Turks were also human beings and would also lose battles. And they are all people. Not at all worse than the Turks.

The two armies faced each other. The first thing is morale.

Morale is sufficient. That's half the win.

When Xiao Shiji was first established in the Great Qi, he used the victories of several battles urgently needed by the Great Qi royal family to help the Great Qi royal family lay a solid foundation.

So Emperor Yongchang looked at him differently. Bow to the general.

Not to mention Prince Yi, he spared no effort in promoting Xiao Shiji.

Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was not waiting to see him, made a close move to Xiao Shi and Corporal Lian Fan Lixian.

Late at night two days ago, Prince Yi also visited Weifu.

When they talked about the situation in the DPRK and China, they especially mentioned the "Cui Banchao" who leaned towards the government and the opposition.

There's no way to do it.

At the beginning of the Great Qi Dynasty, although the imperial examination began, it was still a drop in the bucket compared with the scholars who had lasted for more than a thousand years.

Therefore, when the dynasty was first established, Emperor Yongchang still used the people of the Shi clan as officials. These people were originally wide-ranging, and the countryside was under the control of the scholars, so letting these scholars go to the court and grant official positions was also conducive to the stability of civil affairs in the early days.

Besides, there are also scholars who joined his camp when Emperor Yongchang raised troops. Such a family, of course, also has to be compensated by officials.

For example, the Xu family is one of the gate lords of the scholar clan who have long secretly defected to Emperor Yongchang, of course, the Luoyang Xu family, in the scholar clan, must not have the influence of the five surnames and seven hopes.

These scholars who returned to the new court as officials were still trembling at first, holding their tails between their legs.

But after three or four years, they once again tasted the benefits of power, and naturally wanted more.

People's hearts are already greedy, and it is even more natural to have Longwangshu.

It is completely a fool's dream to let these scholars who have already gained a firm foothold in the Great Qi Dynasty take the initiative to release the power they hold in their hands.

Xiao Shiji still remembered that that night, Prince Yi's deep voice echoed in the secret room of his outer study, "...... The Cui family's hand stretched too long. In the past, it was only among the civilian officials, but now even the military generals have to intervene. I've worked so hard in Shuobei that they want to kick me away! ”

Xiao Shiji didn't have many feelings at that time, but he felt that the Cui family was really domineering, and he also had deep feelings for Shuobei, but he had just been dismissed from his post and was currently idle at home, and he wanted to help Prince Yi but not enough.

And Prince Yi just came to complain to him, and as for the bright side, he still has to be close to Cui Jiatao.

He just hired Cui Yingying, the second daughter of the Cui family's third room, to marry as a side concubine.

The third room of the Cui family actually had some shirking intentions, and kept saying that the eldest daughter had already made a good woman for the prince, and she was already a concubine, and she really didn't want the second daughter to be a concubine. And in his words, he was not very respectful to the matchmaker sent by Prince Yi, and he was very arrogant.

His matchmaker came back to report back, not to mention Prince Yi, even his wife Murong Lanzhou had a very unsightly face.

But there is nothing wrong with the Cui family's third room shirking like this.

Like the Qinghe Cui family, there has never been a concubine for a concubine.

Cui Zhenzhen, the eldest daughter of the Cui family's big house in Qinghe, is the crown princess of the crown prince and the original main room.

And the third room of the Cui family originally had the intention of saying goodbye to the big house, and besides, the prince was not an ordinary person, and being a concubine for the prince was not an ordinary concubine. It's like going to the palace to be a concubine.

Besides, although the concubines with the five surnames and seven hopes have never been concubines for ordinary people, there are many concubines who have entered the palace.

Therefore, the prince wanted to hire Cui Lianlian, the eldest daughter of the Cui family's third room, to be a good woman, and the old man of the Cui family's third room responded with one bite.

And Prince Yi also joined in the excitement to book Cui Yingying, the second daughter of the Cui family's third room, and the old man of the Cui family's third room was not so happy. Of course, he didn't refuse, he just said that he had to think about it.

Two days later. Cui Sanlang, who came out of the third room of the Cui family, directly sent someone to the Xiao family to force Xiao Yanran to do the second room.

Xiao Shiji wanted to be an impartial pure minister, but he was also disgusted by the Cui family's three-room style.

Before Du Hengshuang took people to the door of Wang's house to seek justice, Xiao Shiji hinted to her, don't be afraid, there are people above who want to rectify the Cui family, and they are just borrowing the slope to go up the road.

However, Xiao Shiji didn't expect that Du Hengshuang was so bold that he directly shot Cui Sanlang.

The crossbow that Du Hengshuang carried was originally Xiao Shiji worried about Du Hengshuang's safety. Tell her when she goes out on weekdays. Defend yourself with a bow or crossbow.

Du Hengshuang is also a lot more vigilant because of the matter of the crown princess, just in case, no matter where she goes now. will carry a small crossbow with him.

Her archery skills are already very strong. Practice shooting crossbows. It only took a few days to get started.

And she is a woman, shooting arrows directly. Although the accuracy is not bad, the momentum is much smaller.

The crossbow is different, especially suitable for people who have a good head but do not have much strength. And it's quick to use. What Xiao Shihe gave to Du Hengshuang was still a rare burst crossbow, which could shoot up to five crossbow arrows at a time.

This is what they have refined and refined by seizing the equipment of the Turks when they were in Shuobei. Because the cost of production is too high, it is not promoted in the army on a large scale, and only a few people have it.

Xiao Shi and ordered someone to serve wine and food, invited Xu Yanbang to sit down and drink, and said: "Since you are here today, I will be cheeky to ask you, if I can't be at home for the time being, I still hope that you will stay, in our outer courtyard, help me see home." - You also know that there are not many men in the family, but there are many women, and I am really worried. ”

Xu Yanbang couldn't ask for it, so he agreed, and was busy pouring wine for Xiao Shihe, and almost blurted out a "brother-in-law", but fortunately he realized that it was inappropriate, and covered it up with a smile: "Sister...... Are the sisters all right? ”

Xiao Shiji looked at Xu Yanbang with a smile, "Are you asking your sister, or are you asking your sister?" ”

Xu Yanbang smiled hesitantly, and asked again: "Has the day for Xue'er to return to the sect been set?" Tell me when it's settled, I'm going to make a good plan. ”

Xiao Shiji smiled, "This is Shuang'er's business, you have to ask her." ”

"What do you want to ask me?" The maid in front of the door of the Moon Cave raised the curtain of the big red bearskin and let Du Hengshuang come out.

Xu Yanbang looked up and saw that Du Hengshuang was only wearing a blue round satin embroidered rich peony jacket, revealing the fluffy piping around the neck and sleeves, but underneath was wearing a bearded suit, navy blue sky and blue sky cotton pants, and the bottom was tightly tied in a pair of knee-length deerskin boots, which was heroic and cool.

Xu Yanbang stood up like a god, and finally called out a "sister".

Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shihe were both stunned, and then they couldn't help laughing.

For fear that Xu Yanbang would panic on his face, Du Hengshuang had to turn around, cover his mouth with his hand, and steal fun with a shake of his shoulders.

Xiao Shiji hurriedly lowered his head and pretended to eat, stretched out his chopsticks to pick the quail eggs, but his arms kept shaking and shaking, and the quail eggs were small, and they rolled to the ground without paying attention.

When Xu Yanbang saw the appearance of these two people, he realized that he had said the wrong thing. β€”β€”In terms of age, he is two years older than Du Hengshuang. How can he call Du Hengshuang "sister"? Of course, if you count it from Du Hengxue's side, he can call Du Hengshuang "sister", but what is the relationship between him and Du Hengxue? Can you still be in a hurry to be a brother-in-law......?

Xu Yanbang's face was flushed, he was a big man, standing in the middle of the room, neither walking nor staying, and he was very embarrassed for a while.

Du Hengshuang quickly stopped laughing, saluted Xu Yanbang casually, and said, "Xu Erlang, I helped you teach Cui Sanlang a lesson, you owe me a big favor." ”

Xu Yanbang was busy thanking him, but Xiao Yi had already rushed in from the door in a hurry, and said to Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang: "Master Hou, Mrs., someone is coming from Dali Temple, and you want to lock your wife in Dali Temple and punish you for hurting people!" ”
