Ji Hongxuan sneered.

He is a member of the Xuanjia Army, and the saint is suspicious of the Zhenbei Palace, so he wants to support him to balance Xu Jince. There has always been only one lord of the Northern Frontier, and it is really easy for him, a cheap marquis, to come.

This is the art of the emperor, although it is a routine that can be seen through at a glance, but the saint is not tired of it. He had been sitting on that dragon chair for a long time, and it had become a habit to guess people's hearts.

always thought that if he threw out such a great gift, he would be grateful to Dade and wanted to completely replace Xu Jince. But he underestimated the affection between people.

Ji Hongxuan respects Xu Jince as a brother in his heart, if it weren't for his care, he wouldn't know how many times he had died. He would never be able to betray the Zhenbei Palace, let alone Xu Jince.

Ji Hongxuan especially doesn't like this feeling, he is very depressed, and many things are not up to him. What you think in your heart can only be pressed in your heart, not in your mouth, and not heard by those present.

The one who stood tall above didn't know what their Northern Xinjiang soldiers had experienced on the battlefield, nor how much blood they had shed. One word of his can change their fate.

Man is a sword, I am a fish.

Ji Hongxuan secretly grinded his teeth, and one day, he would definitely no longer need to bear these constraints. He wants to be the one who has the right to speak, and no one can shake it.

Emperor Yonglong seemed to be in a good mood: "From today onwards, General Xiaoyong will be a military marquis, from the third grade." The matter of taking the title and the canonization ceremony are still handed over to the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is coordinated. ”

The Ministry of Rites should be in his mouth, and his heart is also like a mirror. Now in the Daning Dynasty, as long as it is related to the Ji family, none of them are trivial. The Ministry of Rites doesn't have to do anything else this month, so we must do this errand beautifully.

After the early dynasty dispersed, Ji Hongxuan and Ji Honghuan followed behind Ji Hongye, and the three brothers walked on the road, silent for a while. Only occasionally met courtiers who came to greet him, and replied politely.

Until Ji Hongye got into the carriage, Ji Hongxuan and Ji Honghuan still followed him, obviously wanting to ride in the same car with him. Ji Hongye glanced at them lightly and said nothing.

Ji Hongxuan stood on the side of the carriage and put on a smiling face: "Third brother, you won't let me get in the car, do you want me to run with the car?"

Ji Hongye casually took out a book from the multi-treasure compartment in the carriage and lowered his eyelids to look at it, as if he hadn't heard his words at all. Ji Hongxuan was most afraid of his third brother's appearance, scratching his ears and cheeks on the side.

Ji Honghuan usually gives people the feeling that he is unfathomable, and his appearance is too handsome, so that the people around him will think that he is a feminine son.

At this time, he also smiled: "Third brother, we rode all the way over, but now we can't walk." Moreover, the sixth brother still has an injury on his leg, I don't know if the third brother can let us give us a ride. ”

Ji Hongye still didn't look up, but stared at the scroll in his hand with a focused expression. Ji Honghuan got into the car with a hippie smile, and glanced at Ji Hongxuan, who was standing stupidly outside the car.

Ji Hongxuan has always respected Ji Hongye very much, and this respect is also mixed with admiration and closeness. He used to mess around, and he was never afraid after every trouble, because he knew that as long as the third brother was there, no one could do anything to him.

It's just that the third brother hit him last time, and he looked disappointed in him. This made him dare not make a mistake in front of the third brother. After returning to Northern Xinjiang, he also thought about his feelings for Jin'er, which was really profound, but they couldn't be together after all.

He felt that he was sorry for the third brother, and he had been trying to adjust his mentality, but it was just an emotional matter, and where was it controlled by reason?

Ji Hongye waited for a long time and didn't see Ji Hongxuan get into the car, he slowly raised his head and said lightly: "What, is it difficult for me to invite you up?"

Ji Hongxuan got into the carriage in a panic, and said in a flattering tone: "The eldest brother is like a father, even if he lends me ten more guts, I don't dare to let the third brother invite me." ”

Ji Hongye was originally the third in line, but the first two brothers and Ji Hongxuan's brothers had no relationship, and they recognized only Ji Hongye from beginning to end.

Ji Hongye's expression did not change, he still looked at the scroll in his hand, and just asked lightly, "Do you still know that I am your brother?"

"Not a moment of forgetting. Ji Hongxuan and Ji Honghuan replied in unison.

"Then why didn't you inform me in advance about your return to Jinling?"

If others asked about various reasons, Ji Hongxuan would naturally not say it. It's just that the third brother asked, so he naturally couldn't hide it, so he replied loudly: "Presumably, the third brother also knows that the saint is suspicious of the Zhenbei Palace, and if he sends someone else here, he is afraid that he will be poisoned." ”

"So you two cut first and then play, just knowing that I won't die or be saved. ”

Ji Hongxuan glanced at Ji Honghuan very embarrassed, and the meaning of distress in his eyes was obvious. He was most afraid of the third brother since he was a child, and he was even more afraid of talking to him like this.

Ji Honghuan received his younger brother's eyes asking for help, so he took over: "The third brother must have known when we set off!"

"Hmm. ”

"Since the third brother agreed to let us come, don't be angry now. ”

The book in Ji Hongye's hand slowly closed, and he whispered, "I know your situation, and I also know what you think in your heart. Although your coming to Jinling is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire for me, how can I stop you?"

There was a lot of helplessness in Ji Hongye's tone. The higher you are and the more power you have, the more you have to be cautious in doing things. Because, his words and deeds are carefully observed, and the slightest carelessness will attract suspicion.

Ji Hongxuan and Ji Honghuan slowly lowered their heads and looked like they were angry. They knew that the saint was suspicious, and they also knew that the third brother would have to work hard to protect them, and even have to bear a lot of risks.

It's just that they can't sit idly by and ignore Xu Jince, and it's impossible not to help. The Zhenbei Mansion is now in difficulty, and they can only get through it if they work together.

Don't say it's taking some risks, even let them exchange their lives, and they will not hesitate. It's just that in the end, they still can't stand the third brother, and they are also a little guilty.

Ji Hongye saw through it but didn't say anything, only said slowly: "Now that you have grown up, you must remember to do things in the future, never hesitate, and don't regret the decisions you make." Because as long as you are undecided, you will not be able to accomplish the set goal. ”

This sounds serious, like an elder speaking to a junior. Ji Hongxuan and Ji Honghuan looked at each other, and finally said obediently: "Remember the teachings of the third brother." ”

They are no longer the young men they once were, and they are no longer willing to listen to the teachings of others. But for the two of them, Ji Hongye made up for the lack of father's love in childhood.

No matter how old they are, what kind of glamorous identity they have outside, when they come to him, they can only be well-behaved. For his brother's reprimand, he can only feel cordial.

"Third brother, what do you think about the fact that the Holy Lord wants to give the sixth brother a marquis?" Ji Honghuan said.

"Didn't the fifth brother already have a plan in his heart? ”

"Now that our Ji family is on the cusp, does the third brother have a way to deal with it?"

"The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. ”

Ji Honghuan was worried, although he had no feelings for the Ji family, his mother was here, and the third brother was also there, so he always didn't want anything to happen to the Ji family. Now that I heard Ji Hongye say this, I knew that the third brother had already made preparations, and I felt a little at ease.

"Don't stay longer when you come back this time, wait for the completion of the marquis ceremony, and leave for Northern Xinjiang quickly. ”

Ji Hongxuan also knew that Jinling City was a place of right and wrong, of course, it was inconvenient to stay for a long time. It's just that the Ministry of Rites is afraid that it won't be fast, and if the Holy Lord wants to use this to hold them back, I'm afraid that half a year is nothing.

Ji Hongye seemed to know what he was thinking, and whispered: "I will let people watch over there in the Ministry of Rites, so you can rest assured that you can stay in the mansion." ”

Ji Hongxuan and Ji Honghuan nodded, the third brother was thoughtful, and there would be no mistake in listening to him.

Ji Hongye was silent for a while and then advised: "There will definitely be many people in the next few days, taking the opportunity to get close to you." When you go back, you will think of a reason, and those who send prayers to the house will refuse all. ”

Ji Hongxuan scratched the back of his head and asked a little stupidly, "Then what reason do we use?"

On the whole, he is still relatively straightforward, and he feels that it is difficult to use the same excuse many times, not to mention that he and the fifth brother refuse together.

Ji Hongye was helpless: "Call it sick." ”

Ji Hongxuan also wanted to ask how to pretend to be sick and what to pretend to be sick. But after his eyes touched Ji Hongye, he automatically gave up. He felt that if he asked again at this time, the third brother would probably be unhappy.

Although he couldn't think of what kind of illness he had to pretend to be in order to deceive everyone, he thought that the fifth brother was smart, and he must have a plan in his heart, so he would make a confession with him when he went back.

After that, a few people were relatively speechless, until the carriage arrived at the door and looked at the two big characters "Ji Fu" on the plaque, Ji Hongxuan said a word.

"It's been a long time," he said. ”

Ji Honghuan was also looking at the plaque, his eyes were calm and he couldn't see any emotion, but his heart had already turned over the river and the sea.

He was thinking that when the sixth brother left with him, they thought that one day they must return to their hometown. They want to make those who bullied them and looked down on them regret it.

And when this moment really came, his mood was surprisingly calm. He found that in the past few years in northern Xinjiang, he had been fighting on the battlefield and escaping death again and again. It has changed his values.

He no longer cared what others thought of him, because those people were just concubines or subordinates, and they were nothing to him. Even, it's not worthy of him to look at him squarely.

The soldiers they brought from the northern frontier followed the guards of the Thousand Machines Battalion not far away. Although the number of people is not large, their martial arts and resourcefulness are all good hands in the Xuanjia army.

The two concubines who used to be the least valued in Jifu now have such pomp and circumstance, and they can be regarded as returning to their hometowns......
