Qin Haihao really has a little love for Xie Yutang, and he is even more sure that he must be the one who killed his younger brother.

I can't help but feel a little regretful in my heart, if he hadn't killed his brother, he could have been taken under his command and become his right-hand man.

Time passed like a white horse, and in winter, the life of the Hu people became more and more difficult, and they began to harass the tranquility of the border.

Originally, the Hu people only robbed the villages, and did not attack in a big way, but this year was unusual, and several tribes joined together and quickly seized several cities.

In less than half a month, they attacked outside the city where Xie Yutang was stationed.

The Hu leader Haza originally thought that this city was not very large, and it should be able to attack it soon, like the previous ones, but he didn't expect that the other party seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and attacked for several days in a row, but there was no progress.

There is plenty of food and grass in the city, as long as they can't attack it, the soldiers and people in the city are not worried about not having food for the winter, but the Hu people here are different, and most of their food is quickly consumed.

Qin Haihao was very happy when he saw that Hu Ren had been scolding and fighting outside the city.

"Vice General Xie, this time it's really thanks to you for reminding me, let's prepare in advance, otherwise, it will really catch them off guard."

At the same time, he was very puzzled, "But how do you know that they will join forces?" ”

Could it be that this person will not be able to do the fortune telling?

"This year's winter was extremely cold, and I heard from the vendors who passed by that the Hu people had frozen to death several batches of cattle and sheep, so I guessed that they should take action."

I see, from the words of several vendors, we can infer the next actions of the Hu people, which shows how careful this person is.

"Although we are fully prepared, but the opponent's soldiers are strong, and it is not a way to wear them down for a long time, what good plan do you have?" Qin Haihao asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"In a few days there will be a big cold snap, and I don't think they will last long."

Xie Yutang's words made Qin Haihao suddenly remember that a few days ago, he let himself cut down all the trees outside the city, and he immediately laughed.

"No wonder you asked me to cut down all the trees, when the cold snap hits, the Hu people don't even have wood to make a fire to keep warm, see how they survive it."

Sure enough, within a few days, the cold snap hit, and the Hu people froze half to death, and went out to look for a long time but didn't see a single branch.

As a result, some people couldn't survive anymore and proposed to retreat, anyway, during this time, they grabbed enough things to get them through this winter.

Haza still wanted to continue the attack, but their alliance was not united, and he could not be the master of everyone, so he had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

When they came, they passed by a large river with a wooden bridge over it, but it had been cut down by this time, but it was okay because the weather was cold and the river was frozen, so that the army could pass through.

Just as their troops had reached the center of the river, a sudden rain of arrows fell from the sky.

The ice on the surface of the river has only been frozen in the past few days, so many people walking on it, it is not strong in the first place, coupled with the rain of arrows just now, this hole quickly cracked.

For a while, there was a wail on the river, and Xie Yutang looked at so many living people, and he was instantly submerged, and he felt a little unbearable.

Qin Haihao didn't feel anything, in his opinion, these people just deserved to die.

The Hu people suffered heavy losses, and most of the elite were lost in this battle.

The monarch was very excited when he knew the news of this big victory, because Qin Haihao and Xie Yutang had achieved several great victories in cooperation before, and decided to summon the two in person.

It was not for nothing that he was so excited, they were weak and weak in the Shanglin Kingdom, and they were bullied by the surrounding countries all the year round, and they could only keep their peace by paying tribute.

It turned out that one day, they would be able to beat other people's armies to the ground, which made the monarch feel that the sullenness that had been stuck in his heart for many years had finally been released.

Chi Xia was also very excited to hear the news, she had almost no power of her own in the court. Now that Xie Yutang has won the favor of the monarch, she has gained weight in her speech in the court.

"Father, General Qin and General Xie have made such great contributions, it is better to hold a banquet in the palace and reward them." Chi Xia grinned and hugged the monarch's arm and coquettishly.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." The monarch was in a very happy mood and agreed to come down.

Chi Wan knew that Xie Yutang had returned safely and made great contributions, and she was also very happy, counting the days of his return every day.

"The monarch decided to set up a banquet in the palace to reward General Qin and General Xie, this time is a good time for you and me to show our talents, we must take advantage of it." Chi Xia already had a general plan for this banquet.

Ji Wan didn't want to see her much since she realized that Ji Xia wanted to sacrifice her to the monarch. Therefore, his attitude towards her is also very cold, "Oh? Princess, what are you going to do? ”

"I've earned you a chance to perform." Chi Xia knew that she must be reluctant, so he tried his best to persuade him, "General Xie has just returned to the dynasty victoriously, presumably many people don't know much about him, if you can shine at the banquet, you can also win a chance for him to break into the upper circle." ”

Ji Wan had to admit that what he said made some sense, so she agreed.

On the other hand, the people in the barracks also knew that the monarch was going to hold a banquet to entertain them, and they were all very excited.

"I never imagined that I would be able to see Your Majesty one day." Wang Sheng danced happily.

"Knock you on that breath." Although Zhang Wu said this, he was also very nervous.

The only one who was calm was Xie Yutang, who knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come.

This time I went to see the monarch, and I must make him impress him.

And after Qin Haihao learned the news, he sent someone to invite Xie Yutang over, "This time the monarch has a banquet, there are many rules in the palace, if you don't understand anything, just come to me." ”

Qin Haihao looked at Xie Yutang, his mood was very complicated, he didn't expect this young man to be so powerful.

Moreover, the person he sent to investigate reported that the other party was indeed the son of a merchant and did not have much extraordinary, but he felt that the matter was not as simple as the investigation.

Qin Haihao actually took the initiative to show favor to himself? Xie Yutang was a little surprised in his heart, but he quickly figured it out. Although the Qin family is powerful, it has also attracted the suspicion of the monarch, and they should want to take themselves under their banner.

"Thank you for your kindness." Xie Yutang thanked him neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Qin Haihao frowned slightly, obviously a little unhappy with Xie Yutang's appearance of not entering, but he didn't say anything in the end. This time, Xie Yutang made a great contribution, and it is very likely that he will enter the eyes of the monarch at the banquet and become an upstart in the court.

When the time comes, there will be many people who will slap him. Although their Qin family doesn't need the icing on the cake from the other party, it is naturally the best if they don't make enemies.

While Qin Haihao and Xie Yutang were preparing for the banquet in the palace, Chi Wan was also preparing for her performance.

Although she can't get used to seeing Chi Xia, this is an opportunity to show her face, and it's always good to brush up on her presence in front of the monarch.

For this reason, she specially selected a program to prepare for a blockbuster at the palace banquet, and when the monarch heard about it, he was very happy in his heart and said that he was very much looking forward to it.

Chi Xia didn't want Chi Wan to steal the limelight, so she asked Chi Wan privately what show she would make.

"Secret." Chi Wan threw her two words and left without looking back.

Seeing that Chi Wan didn't give herself face like this, Chi Xiaqi's face turned blue, "It's just a show, it's still hidden, hum, if you don't say it, don't say it, what's the big deal." But secretly, I started to practice more seriously.

The two of them do their own thing, do not interfere with each other, but they are all right.

At the same time, Xie Yutang had also arrived near Kyoto with the army, and according to custom, their army was temporarily stationed outside the city to pack up.

Chi Wan already missed the extraordinary in her heart, and she didn't say anything about it when she was far away, but now that she knew that the person was not far away, her heart was like a cat scratching, and she couldn't help but want to see Xie Yutang immediately.

She changed her clothes, didn't tell anyone, and quietly touched the place where Xie Yutang stayed.

Because she didn't know where Xie Yutang was, Chi Wan got lost in the camp.

The soldiers on patrol couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when they saw a woman coldly. You must know that there is a group of rough men in the barracks, not to mention a delicate beauty like Chi Wan, even a female fly is hard to find.

"Who are you? Why trespass on the barracks? He immediately controlled the person as a fine work and interrogated him strictly.

Chi Wan was also taken aback by the other party's actions, but she soon calmed down and replied one by one, "I'm not a spy, I'm here to find Xie Yutang." ”

When the little soldier heard it, wasn't Xie Yutang their name General Xie? I was suspicious in my heart, and I couldn't help but ask again, "What are you looking for General Xie to do, who are you?" ”

Hearing the word general, Chi Wan was sincerely proud, Xie Yutang started from the bottom, and finally stepped into his position again. She subconsciously straightened her chest and said loudly, "I am the general's wife, and my name is Xie Wan." ”

The little soldier looked up and down several times, and saw that Chi Wan really didn't look like a spy, so he bowed his head slightly and said, "The barracks are heavy, I have to be cautious, let me report to General Xie." ”

"Okay." Ji Wan nodded in agreement.

She waited for a while, and soon saw a person striding towards her, that person with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, walking with the wind, a suit of armor reflecting the sparse silver light in the moonlight, looking up, what greeted her was Xie Yutang's familiar face.

Sure enough, Xie Yutang was born to belong to the battlefield, and he was so dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
