"What time is it?"

"Xianggong, it's about time now, what does Xianggong command?"

It was getting late, and Yue Xiang's house was lit up. Chen stood at the table and watched the maid clean up the leftovers on the table, while Yue Xiang sat on the edge of the bed, his upper body hidden in the shadow of the mosquito net on the kang, and he couldn't see the expression on his face clearly.

"What's going on with my sister-in-law?"

"Alas...... Sister-in-law's side...... Uncle is now unknown in life and death, how much better can sister-in-law be? It was Li Liang who came to visit. Chen said that Li Liang came to express his intentions. Her husband seized the power of the family today and put his old man under house arrest, and she already knew about it.

She also knew about Yue Qi, and her feeling was even stronger, and her husband seemed to have changed as a different person. The change left her at a loss, and she couldn't tell whether to be happy or scared. In addition, I vaguely heard that Yue Qi was killed, and I felt that my husband had made up his mind to make a big deal this time.

"Li Liang, count him as acquaintances." Yue Xiang doesn't know much about doing business, but he understands the importance of logistics in the war, and he can't pull up the bullshit troops without the support of money. Having such a businessman come to work for him is exactly what he can't ask for. His mind suddenly moved, and he asked, "What does Madam think of Li Liang?" ”

"I'm a woman, what do I know? It's all up to the public to make an idea. Yahuan cleaned up the table and retreated, and Chen brought hot water to Yue Xiang again, let him take a bath, and served him meticulously.

Yue Xiang was really a little afraid to let her serve at the moment, and almost stood up to act on his own, but he was afraid of revealing his flaws, so he sat still and didn't move, Chen came over with a copper basin and waited for Yue Xiang to wash his feet. Yue Xiang looked at Chen who was squatting at his feet, rubbing his feet attentively, he used to enjoy it with peace of mind, but now he felt a burst of nervousness inexplicably.

Is this the "demon girl" of the White Lotus Sect? Is it possible? How do you look at it? This is exactly a beautiful and virtuous wife, why would she be like this? Is it really a single-minded incognito to be my wife? Maybe it's possible, the White Lotus Sect is also a human being, and it also has to get married and eat. Figure my family's wealth? If what those two guys say is true, she holds the secret of astronomical wealth, and she should not look down on my family's little money.

If you don't want money, you will kill you, I am an inconspicuous little character, what good can she do to me? Could it be that she can see that her buddies are from later generations and understand the direction of history? It's not right, she's been married for several years, and she hasn't come here yet.

And does she really know the secret of the so-called "Gao Huai Hidden Gold", and does this treasure really exist? Yue Xiang is really not sure about this, the so-called history has the difference between the first history and the second history, the second history is the record recorded by later historians on paper, and the first history is the truth of history. Yue Xiang has always believed that all Chinese history books since the "Historical Records" cannot be trusted. But my understanding of the times I live in is based on the "untrustworthy" part.

At least there is no record of the so-called "Gaohuai Tibetan Gold" in the existing history, and even the ending of Gaohuai has not been explained. But that is not the first history, China has been in the dark for 5,000 years, and there are many historical secrets buried in the darkness of various dynasties and generations. Moreover, Yue Xiang knew that there was indeed a very serious phenomenon of deceiving superiors and subordinates to enrich their own pockets in the so-called Wanli Dynasty mining tax supervision.

Maybe for a "famous eunuch" like Gao Huai, it is not surprising that he really hides such a sum of money.

If it exists, will I be able to get it? Yue Xiang's mind was active, and with such a huge amount of money as the backing, it was easy to organize his own forces. Or use this money to change the course of history, and now the Ming court is short of money and salary, so it is difficult to organize a strong military operation. If this money can help the Han people to escape the tragic fate of being enslaved in the future...... Maybe that's what your mission is.

But this is history, and can history be easily changed?

And is she willing to support me for free? She is not only my wife now, she is also a member of the White Lotus Sect. Who knows what her heart really thinks.

There are two identities that must keep a certain bottom line in her heart, and it also shows that she cannot have a blind obedience attitude towards her husband like ordinary women. Chen's observance of women's morals as a wife has so far been absolutely impeccable, but it is one thing for her to wash my feet now, and it may be another thing for her to ask her for money.

Is it feasible to force her by force? Not necessarily, this legend of the White Lotus Sect will have any side techniques, she has not practiced martial arts like Ma and Li, so maybe there will be some strange skills, whether she can handle it or not. Besides, this Qinghe in Liaodong is said to be the lair of the Baiyang Sect, who knows how many hidden disciples there are in this city, and it is impossible to know that there are in their own families. really turned his face, it is not good to say that there are thousands of people in one guy, and it is estimated that his one hundred and ten people are not enough to fill in the gaps between people's teeth.

Besides, Yue Xiang didn't want to do anything with his wife from the bottom of his heart, he didn't have the habit of beating his wife. Maybe there used to be, but not now. He liked his current wife from the bottom of his heart, and he loved her very much.

"Xianggong, do you want to sleep with a concubine tonight?" Chen's words made Yue Xiang stunned, "What? Chen's face was slightly red and he repeated it again, and Yue Xiang remembered that he had told Chen that he wanted her to accompany his sister-in-law. He rolled his eyes and said, "Madame, don't you want to?" ”

"It's all up to the minister's orders...... Chen's face turned red again, the love with her husband last night made her enjoy the ** pleasure she had never had, since her husband doted on herself, why not. Yue Xiang said quietly: "Since this is the case, then you can go to your sister-in-law." Chen's face immediately appeared with a layer of disappointment, but he quickly adjusted his expression, "In this case, the concubine will retire." Yue Xiang smiled and grabbed her hand and said, "It's just a joke, why should Madam take it seriously, if Madame really goes to my sister-in-law's place, I'm afraid I can't help but touch my sister-in-law's room in the middle of the night." ”

"Don't be like ......this," Chen fell into Yue Xiang's arms, "Sister-in-law is now alone, don't talk nonsense, lest others gossip." ”

What a woman, she doesn't forget to be jealous at all times. Yue Xiang smiled slightly and asked, "Do you think your sister-in-law is pitiful?" ”

"Where does Xianggong say it, how can a woman be without a man to rely on. Now that the eldest brother is gone, the family will collapse, but I am afraid that my sister-in-law will have broken her heart and intestines, but the husband will say that she is not pitiful? ”

"If she is pitiful, then isn't my eldest brother even more pitiful? died in the wilderness, and he was still a fool until he died. Husbands and wives should be honest with each other. I killed Yue Qi today. Any idea why? ”

"Concubine...... The concubine doesn't know ......" Chen covered his mouth in surprise and whispered.

"It's sad, my brother and my sister-in-law are husband and wife to do this, it's better to break up. Yue Qi's dog only committed adultery with my sister-in-law when my brother was out, and it has been two years before and after. My sister-in-law herself is also corrupt, self-willing, does not abide by women's morals, and enjoys all the wealth brought to her by our Yue family, but she discredits the Yue family. My brother has already had an outhouse outside. It's ridiculous, the two of them do what husband and wife do with their own hearts, and they are hypocritical. What do you think they are doing as a couple? Isn't it better to divide it? ”

"That'...... How is the husband going to treat his sister-in-law? Chen lowered his head, seemingly sensitive to the topic. It is inconvenient for a woman to express her opinion casually.

"Hmph, she's my brother's wife, not my wife. I don't want to worry about it so much, let him take care of it when my brother comes back. I'm not going to find fault now, I don't have to discredit my own door. ”

Chen didn't speak, and Yue Xiang sat on the edge of the bed with her in his arms.

"When I look at my brother, I think of myself, we have been husband and wife for seven years. I, Yue Xiang, asked myself, I used to be a bastard who didn't know what to do, and I didn't know how to love such a caring wife. If you have any dissatisfaction with me in your heart, it is that I have suffered by myself, and today our husband and wife will open their hearts and nagged intimately, and you have been wronged with me all these years. The husband can't compensate you here. ”

Yue Xiang said as he stood up and bowed solemnly to Chen.

Chen's face changed color, how can there be a reason for a husband to compensate his wife these days. In addition to being surprised, there was a burst of excitement in his heart, and tears suddenly fell, "Xianggong, what ...... That's all within the concubine's business. Don't kill the concubine, the concubine can't afford it. So saying, he knelt on the ground.

Yue Xiang grabbed her and held her in his arms.

"Do you know what was in my mind when I was knocked off my horse by a black bear? At that time, my life was hanging by a thread, which was ridiculous, but I didn't feel scared in my heart, but the only thing that flashed in front of me was your face, and I was wondering what you were doing now, whether you had prepared a meal and waited for me to return. Knowing that, I realized that the only thing I really cared about in my heart was you, and the only thing I couldn't worry about when I was going to die was you......"

Such explicit love words are naturally easy to deal with women in this era. The concept that a woman is a sensual animal is era-inscribed. Chen immediately hugged Yue Xiang's waist tightly, and gently covered his mouth with one hand.

"Don't talk nonsense about what you can't die for, the concubine is a person who is a father-in-law, and a ghost is a father-in-law. If you are a good man...... The concubine was determined to follow the prince in the underworld. ”

"I don't want you to follow me underground, I just want to know that your heart is with me. I am determined to serve the imperial court and raise troops to fight the Tartars, and I will inevitably meet the Tartars on the battlefield in the future. I just want to know that if I really have that day in the future, your heart will follow mine. I don't want to be like my big brother who doesn't know anything, you know what I mean? ”

"The concubine understands...... The concubine is fair, and the heart is even more fair...... Concubine, concubine can't take out her heart now......"

"I don't want you to pay for it, I just want you to know today that it is God's fate that I can meet you in this life, and I believe this is a fate destined in the dark. I was born to be useful, and I know that God has arranged a path for me to take when I come to this world, and this is also my own choice. I don't know what awaits me at the end of this path, but I just want to tell you that I love you. ”

Yue Xiang found that his emotions were a little out of control, and he didn't know what he was talking about for a long time. Chen's eyes were covered with a layer of hazy mist, she had never heard such a touching love story, and she felt that she was about to melt. She could clearly feel her husband's sincere feelings, and she felt that her body and mind were already intoxicated.

"Xianggong, concubine...... The concubine is now dead and willingly......"

"Madame, why do you say this, we are husband and wife. Loving each other is a natural and human, and isn't that how husband and wife are? I love you, and I will say it out loud, and I will never hide anything from my heart. There shouldn't be secrets between husband and wife, right? Because I am you, you are me, the husband and wife who really love each other are one person, I know what you know, you know what I know, you know it, you are right. ”

"Concubine...... Xianggong said ......"

Chen seemed to be engaged in an ideological struggle, and as a result, he said so much that he did not follow. Yue Xiang painstakingly went around in such a big circle, knocking on the side. He actually didn't expect Chen to say it today, after all, a secret had been buried in his heart for so many years, and he had too many concerns. Pushing too quickly can backfire.

This kind of thing can only be made with cold boiled water and take your time. As long as her heart is slowly shaken, sooner or later one day she can break through her defenses. Women usually do not put reason first, and emotional offensive is a very effective weapon at all times. But Yue Xiang didn't think that what he just said was hypocritical, to be honest, most of it came from the heart.

He only hoped that he could get what he wanted before Nurhachi came over. Because he had a hunch that time was running out for him.

At night, a curfew is observed in the city. On the empty streets, only squads of officers and soldiers on night patrol passed by from time to time with lanterns. In the firewood room in the backyard of Yue's house, Ma Sandao and Li Shoucai were locked inside. The two had long expected this outcome, so they did not make any uncooperative moves.

In fact, the two of them knew that Gao Huai's hidden gold probably didn't have their share anymore. In fact, the two of them already had this realization from the moment they told Yue Xiang the truth. The only feasible way now is to cooperate with Yue Xiang and use his power to find the location of the treasure.

Of course, they wanted gold and silver, but as far as they knew, there were other things in Gao Huai's hidden gold. In fact, that was their main purpose, to temporarily attach themselves to Yue Xiang's subordinates, maybe Yue Xiang would not be interested in those things, so that they would still have a chance.

Outside the firewood room, Yue Shan led a group of people with sharp blades to patrol around. Yue Shan didn't know why Yue Xiang wanted him to confine Ma Sandao and Li Shoucai here, and he usually knew these two people. But he didn't ask, for him, Yue Xiang's words were the highest order, as long as they were carried out to the letter.

The temperature is low at night, and the wind is coughing. One by one, the group folded their shoulders and spun around in place. From time to time, Yue Shan did not stop the small talk. They are not regular soldiers and do not know what discipline is.

"Brother Shan, why did the boss lock up Lao Ma and Lao Li? What did they do? "A kid came over to find Yue Shan." Does it have something to do with Yue Qi's kid? ”

"Yes, the boss is a big deal today. Tsk, slaughter people alive without blinking. Another person came over.

"Don't talk nonsense, it was Yue Qi's kid who hit the knife edge himself. What does it have to do with the boss? Yue Shan interrupted them in a deep voice.

"Huh? …… Yes, yes, yes, it is Yue Qi who hits the tip of the knife himself, and he is not bad for the boss. Brother Shan, what's going on with those two in there? Everyone understood and said yes again and again.

"How do I know?" Yue Shan was a little proud, "Don't ask about things that you shouldn't know." ”

"How do I seem to hear what I say inside the house, what is red, what is taught......

"Shut up!" Yue Shan's face sank, "Don't spread the boss's business, whoever chews the root of his tongue, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" After speaking, he suddenly heard some noise outside the courtyard, and immediately gestured to stop everyone. Pointing outside, three people nodded and quickly touched the guy outside.

"Nothing, it's the wind blowing the branches. Either the night owl came out to make trouble...... "The three of them went out and went around for a while and didn't find anything, so they came back and reported to Yue Shan."

"Is it the wind...... Yue Shan looked outside suspiciously, "Okay, okay, everyone guards their posts." ”

After everyone returned to the courtyard of the firewood house, a dark shadow emerged from the corner of the hiding place, and disappeared behind the house, and after about twenty minutes, somewhere in Yue's house, a carrier pigeon was released, flapping its wings and disappearing into the night sky......
