The Eight Immortals table in the lobby has been set up with a dazzling array of delicacies, there are dozens of dishes, seeing He Lanxiong couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he has always eaten cauldron with soldiers in the army, when did he not get tired of eating, and he never got tired of eating.

"Eldest brother, my sister-in-law went back to my parents' house to borrow the chef from the house, just to let you have a good meal, speaking of which, I often come to my sister-in-law's place to eat." He Lanyan said with a smile.

"Where is it so troublesome, just get a few dishes to eat." Helan Xiong stammered, "How much silver does this meal cost?" ”

"Do you still have to worry about the silver?" He Lanyan laughed and said, "Don't forget, you have the richest old man in the whole Han. ”

He Lanxiong shook his head, the more this is the case, the more low-key he has to be, so long, it is a matter of spreading out, at least a poor and extravagant comment can't run. But this is my daughter-in-law's heart, I just went home today, but I can't be afraid of kindness, and I will slowly explain this truth to her in the future.

After all, my identity is different. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at me.

Wu Xinlian looked at her husband with a smile, gently poured him full of wine, and then sat next to him, holding her cheeks with both hands, staring at He Lanxiong intently.

"Ouch, I said sister-in-law, can you restrain yourself a little, this look, I don't exist at all!" He Lanyan picked up her own fruit wine and took a sip, not without jealousy. Although she called Wu Xinlian's sister-in-law, Wu Xinlian was several years younger than her.

Wu Xinlian didn't turn her head, and didn't pay attention to her at all. He Lanyan sighed, "Okay, I usually wish I came to you every day." Now that your husband is back, I'm a superfluous, so I'd better go sooner. "Stand up and go.

"Wait a minute, Swallow!" He Lanxiong put down the wine glass in his hand, "Don't leave in a hurry, I still have something to tell you after eating." ”

"Tell me something?" He Lanyan glanced at Wu Xinlian. "Big brother, you haven't been back for a whole year, look at the appearance of your sister-in-law. I'm not here to get in your way. ”

He Lanxiong glanced at the nymphomaniac Wu Xinlian and smiled, "The days will be long in the future, and I will have something to say to you later." ”

He Lanxiong ate very quickly. Eat a few bites of food. took a sip of wine, picked vegetables and only ate a few plates in front of him, Wu Xinlian on the side kept standing up to arrange vegetables for him, so that He Lanyan on the side kept flattening his mouth, after eating a meal, a large table of dishes was not even eaten a tenth, He Lanxiong wiped his mouth and said to Wu Xinlian: "Ah Lian." I'm going to talk to Swallow alone for a while. ”

"Well, you guys go. The study is cleaned every day, and it's clean! Wu Xinlian was not the slightest dissatisfied.

Sitting in the study, He Lanxiong fell silent all of a sudden, looking at the scimitar hanging on the wall in the study, the armor did not take his eyes off for a long time, which made the anxious He Lanyan even more anxious.

"Brother, what are you telling me? It's so formal, and you let your sister-in-law avoid it, what do you mean? ”

He Lanxiong retracted his gaze, smiled, pointed to a chair in front of him and said, "Sit down, Yanzi, Mingzhi is so big, your temper has not changed at all, that is, you have a good temper, and Ye Jing'er is also generous, otherwise no one can stand you." ”

"Can't you stand me, then you have raised me for so many years?" Helan Yan pursed her lips: "Then there is a brother who says this about his sister?" ”

"Because I'm your brother, of course I can tolerate you, and your shortcomings are also very cute in my eyes, but you can't be like this in the palace, after a long time, it's not cute but disgusting."

"People have changed a lot, and now I'm trying to learn to be a lady, but I can't learn anything, Brother Gao said that I am learning to be like a tiger and a cat, or keep my true colors." He Lanyan looked a little sad.

He Lanxiong laughed, "Yanzi, you should know about the military reorganization this time, right?" ”

"Of course I know, there are four military regions in the country, but in my opinion, there are only two military regions that are more interesting, and the third military region must be no one to go, and I don't know if it will fall on that unlucky ghost in the end, and the fourth military region is the Weiwu Military Region, and the commander of this military region must be Shangguan Hong, and no one else has to earn it." Helan Yan said.

"What does the king think?" He Lanxiong asked casually.

"Brother, it turns out that you left me here to find out some inside information!" Helan Yan laughed heartily, "But this time you will definitely be disappointed, because I don't know, this time Brother Gao's mouth is very tight, he should have a certain number in his heart, but he didn't say anything, didn't you ask each of you to make a plan?" ”

"Do you want me to fight?" He Lanxiong's gaze fell on the scimitar on the wall.

"Earn? Brother, do you still need to earn? I think you can rest assured, according to my thoughts, the commander of the First Military Region will not be able to run away from you. Helan Yan said.

"Why do you think so?"

"There are only three people who are qualified to compete for the commander of the First Military Region, brother, Ye Zhen, and Xu Yuan, but no matter in terms of qualifications or military exploits, how can Ye Zhen and Xu Yuan compare with you, not to mention, you are still my brother." He Lanyan smiled: "So I said brother, you just put your heart in your stomach, the commander of the first military region must be yours." ”

"Really?" He Lanxiong stood up with a smile and pushed open the window, looking at the patches of snow that had fallen outside at some point, "But my brother doesn't want to be the commander of the First Military Region." ”

"Ah, brother, what did you say?" Helan Yan's eyes widened, "I don't want to be the commander of the First Military Region, are you willing to be a deputy for Ye Zhen or Xu Yuan?" When you and Big Brother Gao were fighting side by side for a half, the two of them didn't know where the cat was, why did you want to let it go to them. ”

"It's not that I want to, it's that I really don't want to do it!" He Lanxiong turned his head and looked at He Lanyan, "Yanzi, since you were fifteen or sixteen years old, I have been running away with you all the way and fighting all the way, and it has been more than ten years in a blink of an eye." Every day, the golden iron horse, licking the blood with the knife, I am tired of it. So, ah, I don't want to stay in the 1st Military Region anymore, I want to go to the 3rd Military Region. ”

"I heard you right!" He Lanyan jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, "What kind of place is the Third Military Region, to put it bluntly, it is just some armed organized farmers, the Third Military Region established by Brother Gao." They were not asked to fight at all, but to go to those deserted and inhabited places to cultivate wasteland. What are you going to do, be a farmer leader? ”

"That's not what I said. Although the main task is farming, it is to reclaim the famine, but they are still soldiers, when something happens. In the same way, they have to take up arms and go to war. ”

"That place. What are the enemies? He Lanyan stared at He Lanxiong, "Brother, you tell me the truth, why did you think of going to the Third Military Region?" It's not your nature. ”

"And what do you think I am?" Helan Xiong said with a grin.

"My brother is a big hero who stands up to the sky, always wants to do something big, is brave, upright, and has never been a person who shrinks his head in the face of difficulties." He Lanyan said proudly.

"Now your brother has done all that. Our Helan clan is already the leader of all the Huns, and I have also solved the biggest ideal of keeping all the tribes fed and clothed. Now our people are living a few better days than the best days we originally envisioned, I have done everything that should be done, now I just want to have a good rest, I told Xinlian before that the day is long, do you think I am comforting your sister-in-law, in the future, I became the commander of the Third Military Region, and I am free, don't I have a lot of time to accompany your sister-in-law, well, you should also have a nephew, no, no, no, how can one be enough, of course, you have to give birth to five, six, seven or eight. Hahaha, when they have such a big ambition, I will take them to gallop on the prairie on horseback, chasing rabbits and wolves, isn't it also fast? ”

Helan Yan looked at the gushing eldest brother quietly, and said after a while: "Brother, what the hell do you think, don't use this kind of talk to me." ”

"How can I be shopping for you, I really think so?"

"No, you definitely don't think so, brother, in the past two years, I found that you have changed a lot, and you are afraid to do anything, it seems that there is an invisible chain that locks you, why is this?" He Lanyan shook her head and said, "You tell me the truth, what is all this for?" ”

He Lanxiong walked to the window, stretched out his hand out of the window, picked up two snowflakes that fell from the sky, and watched them gradually melt in the palm of his hand, "In the past two years, I have invited an academic master from the Central Plains, and I have been following him to learn the culture of the Central Plains. ”

"Of course I understand what it means to retreat from the rapids? Brother, are you afraid that Big Brother Gao will be suspicious of you, I dare to guarantee this, he definitely not, in his heart, you are the most trustworthy brother. ”

"I know, but the king trusts me so much, but I can't pretend that I don't know anything, Yanzi, I told you, the Helan clan is now the leader of the Huns, although all the Huns regard themselves as the citizens of the Han Dynasty, but they still respect my Helan clan, and also regard you, I as their real leader, Yanzi, do you know how many people the Huns have increased over the years?"

"I really don't know." Helan Yan muttered.

"Sometimes, it's a blessing to be confused!" Helan Xiong sighed: "When our Xiongnu as a whole were attached to the Eastern Army, the whole clan added up to less than 50,000 people, and the rest either wandered to where they went, or died under the knife of the Qin people, but in the past few years of recuperation, the Huns have surged to more than 100,000 people. Although we Huns are now naturalized, this is still a great force, you know? Even if Gao Yuan doesn't suspect me, which ministers don't suspect me? ”

'As long as Brother Gao believes in you, what do you care about others? He Lanyan shook her head and said.

"You, that's why I said you're confused!" He Lanxiong shook his head: "I already have a strong base of power among the people, if I go to compete for the position of commander of the First Military Region, then in the eyes of many people, my power is too big, so big that no one can control it, after the establishment of the First Military Region, the Eastern Field Army, the Central Field Army, the Northern Field Army, as well as Guli's Xiongnu Independent Cavalry Division, Agu Huaien's Donghu Independent Cavalry Division, will all be included in the First Military Region, its military strength is so strong, it has accounted for one-half of the entire Han army, As you said, if I compete, they can't compete with me, but can I make it difficult for Takato? ”

"So, it's my best bet to retreat." Helan Xiong said: "This is not only good for me, but also good for you, good for Mingzhi, and responsible for all the Huns." You are my sister-in-law, Mingzhi is my nephew, you are the princess of the king, Mingzhi is the prince, there is a great relationship here, you go and think about it carefully, my brother's decision will not be wrong. ”

"Brother Gao won't promise you."

"He'll definitely grant my request." He Lanxiong smiled: "This is the best way for our brothers to keep their previous relationship forever." (To be continued......)
