There are not so many empty houses in Jinxingfang, Gao Shao, Yang Qin, and Feng Xuan have no dependents in Xiangzhou City, and they will live in the barracks exclusive to the scouts of Zuo Si after discussing the matter.

Han Qian practiced boxing under the moon once, so he had to scrub his body and sleep, listening to the ruts in the alleys outside, and stopped in the house where Zhang Ping and Yao Xishui lived next door.

Zhang Ping insisted on traveling and riding a horse even if his left arm was disabled, Han Qian thought it was Yao Xishui who came back late at night, and wondered where she had run so late?

Han Qian climbed the wooden ladder and looked into the courtyard next door, but saw Yao Xishui opening the courtyard door and walking in with Su Hongyu's arm with a happy face.

Yao Xishui was also quite alert, as soon as Han Qian poked his head out, he raised his foot and picked up a lump of dirt and shot it towards Han Qian's face: "Where is the thief, climbing the wall in the middle of the night to peek, not afraid of being poked blind?" ”

Han Qian was startled, almost fell down the wooden ladder, and shouted, "Oh, why was Yao Xishui so arrogant when he peeked at me yesterday?" ”

"Hongyu has seen Lord Han." Su Hongyu pulled Yao Xishui, didn't ask her to be angry with Han Qian, and said politely.

Han Qian could guess the purpose of Su Hongyu's appearance in Xiangzhou City at this time, but Su Hongyu always had a down-to-earth and gentle bearing, and Han Qian had no way to be too hostile to her.

"Miss Su is in Xiangzhou today, can you eat Miss Su and Li Jiang's wedding wine another day?" Han Qian arched his hand and asked with a smile.

"Hongyu Puliu's posture, and born as a low-class thief, I don't dislike it, let me serve by his side, I will be satisfied, what likes wine or not, if Lord Han wants to drink, Hongyu will learn to brew a few jars of good wine to entertain Lord Han." Su Hongyu said with a smile.

"Winemaking is the most hot, and the most taboo is too much, Han is looking forward to the wine made by Miss Su." Han Qian said.

Yao Xishui annoyed Han Qian insinuating that he was rambling there, and pulled Su Hongyu to the backyard.

Su Hongyu smiled apologetically, gentle and charming, but Han Qian could still see a trace of sadness between her eyebrows.

Han Qian only sighed slightly in his heart.

Since Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, and Yang Jian, Marquis of Zhenyuan, went to aid Xichuan, Li Pu and Li Zhihe seem to have reconciled father and son, but Su Hongyu appeared in Xiangzhou City at this time, and it seems that Li Putie is determined to stuff Su Hongyu to Li Zhihe's side before he returns to the dynasty with Emperor Tianyou's class; Even if Li Zhihe's wife and children live in the Xinchang Marquis Mansion at this time, it is still not enough.

Li Zhihe and Su Hongyu were originally quite a loving couple, but as soon as they asked Xinchang Hou Li Pu to do this, the taste changed completely.

Han Qian could understand the sorrow in Su Hongyu's heart.

Han Qian walked down the wooden ladder, returned to the room and made a cup of tea on the table, tasted it, the water temperature was just right, and looked at Xi Ying in surprise: "When did you learn to serve people so intimately?" Did you see that I had two more maids and felt the pressure of competition? That's not enough, with Mrs. Xi's means, clean up the two girls, and they can't be caught, I'm afraid that they really dare to rebel against you in this house? ”

Zhao Ting'er stayed in Jinling to preside over the money shop, and during this time, Han Qian only had Xi Ying waiting by his side.

However, even if Han Qian is not worried that Xi Ying still has a heart of revenge, but Xi Ying serves him, the tea soup served is either cold or hot, and in the porridge and rice she brings with her own hands, Han Qian can always eat a lot of sand, and the washing water is either ice or hot, in short, if she encounters something unhappy, she will not serve Han Qian properly.

Han Qian went to the front yard to practice boxing and returned to the house, and he was able to drink this tea with just the right temperature, which was the first time.

Seeing Han Qian talking nonsense there in a serious manner, Xi Ying couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, walked over and picked up the teacup and was about to splash it out of the window.

"Don't, it's rare to drink the tea you made for me yourself, even if you poison it, I have to drink it." Han Qian stopped and took the teacup.

"The tetrodotoxin that Zhao Ting'er refined just asked someone to send a small package into Xiangzhou City. I didn't believe that Zhao Ting'er said in the letter that a little bit of a fingernail cover could poison a cow, so I picked a little powder with a nail cover and put it into the tea soup. You insist on drinking it, I just want to see if this poison is so powerful as Zhao Ting'er said. Xi Ying sneered.

Hearing Xi Yi's words, Han Qian really hesitated for a moment.

Xi Ying immediately glanced at Han Qian contemptuously, and walked straight out, of course, he didn't say that he saw that Han Qian had settled the three girls today, and they had a rare human touch, so he thought about making him a good cup of tea......

After a few days, the main force of the Liang army retreated to Caizhou, and successively withdrew its camps to Luoyang and Bianzhou in the north.

At this time, the military pressure on the northern front was completely relieved, and the generals of the Longque Army, such as Chen De, Li Zhihe, Zhou Yi, Chen Jingzhou, Guo Liang, Gao Chengyuan, Zhou Shu, Chai Jian, and Zhou Yuan, and other major ministers, all rushed back to Xiangzhou City to be summoned.

And Han Qian is still not on the list of summons this time.

Li Zhihe has a wife and children in Jinling, and marrying Su Hongyu is a concubine, so naturally there will be no three media and six hires, taking advantage of this opportunity to go to Xiangzhou City, he set up a table of wine and food in Jinxingfang, in addition to Zhang Ping, Yao Xishui, Chai Jian, Li Chong and others, they also invited Han Qian to eat and drink, so as to determine Su Hongyu's status.

The third prince, Yang Yuanpu, or Han Qian privately sent Gao Shao over to inform him, and he wore civilian clothes and forced himself over to drink.

Li Zhihe was cautious by nature, even if even the Liang army scouts were no longer in the periphery of Xichuan, and he did not stay overnight in Xiangzhou City after eating, but prepared a carriage, surrounded the carriage with Hu Wei, and planned to rush back to Xichuan, the garrison, overnight.

Han Qian accompanied the three princes to send Li Zhihe all the way to the ferry.

The first quarter moon sprinkled clear light, shining on the turbulent river, Han Qian Lerma stopped on the embankment, listening to the sound of the waves crashing against the embankment.

"Father Emperor will drive back to Jinling tomorrow, I will follow Father Emperor first, Master Han will accompany us, right?" Yang Yuanpu said.

"There are a lot of cumbersome things in Junzhou, Mr. Shen Yang will accompany His Royal Highness first, and Han Qian will delay here for a few more days, and he will accompany Guo and Gao." Han Qian excused himself, he insisted on staying in Xiangzhou City for a few more days, thinking that he would not leave until Guo Liang and Gao Chengyuan's troops withdrew to Jinling.

Chai Jian, Li Chong, Zhang Ping, and Yao Xishui came over to see off Li Zhihe and Su Hongyu.

When Li Chong heard Han Qian and the third prince talking in front, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he couldn't help but reveal a hint of schadenfreude, he stood a little back, and said to Chai Jian in a suppressed voice: "This guy is still knowledgeable." ”

When Zhang Ping heard Li Chong's words, he glanced back and didn't say anything.

Yao Xishui took advantage of the moonlight to see Han Qian's expression a little gloomy under the moon, and then thought of the banquet just now, Han Qian didn't say much, secretly thinking that Han Qian had always been arrogant, and this blow probably made him uncomfortable, right?

When Han Qian first arrived in Xiangzhou City, he was not summoned, and many people didn't feel anything, after all, Han Qian's rank was still too low, and his merits were revealed, and he was not included in the list of the first batch of summons, and it was nothing, but Emperor Tianyou specially summoned Li Zhihe, Guo Liang, Gao Chengyuan and other front-line generals to Xiangzhou City this time, even Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou, who had no roots before, were also summoned, but there was no Han Qian. Even a blind person could see that Han Qian's so-called miraculous feats had actually displeased the Sacred Heart.

And since they all knew that Emperor Tianyou was displeased, it was natural for Han Qian to delay a few days and not follow Emperor Tianyou and the three princes to return to Jinling in the first batch.

When they saw that the boat that Li Zhihe and the others were riding had already left the ferry, Han Qian and the others rushed to Xiangzhou City with the three princes.

Emperor Tianyou will return to Jinling tomorrow, and Xiangzhou City is also sleepless all night, preparing for the dragon to drive up, and there is a lot of noise about people and horses.

Thousands of scouts also went south along both sides of the Han River two days earlier.

Although the people of Chu wanted to teach the Liang army that destroyed Jingxiang and invaded Caizhou a hard lesson, they had more than enough strength but not enough strength, and the top priority was to reorganize the Deng Xiang defense line, rather than a lone division to go deep into the enemy territory and risk a decisive battle with the Liang army, and it was impossible for Emperor Tianyou to leave the capital for a long time.

Even if the pressure of grain and grass is not taken into account, the weather in early May is already a little hot, and the withdrawal of troops cannot be delayed any longer in order to prevent the army from spreading the epidemic on a large scale.

The reconstruction plan of the Deng Xiang defense line was also officially released in early May, Du Chongtao did not merit or reward, and still used the Xiangzhou Assassin History, the head of the Dengzhou Military Government and the head of the Deng Xiang defense envoy, and controlled the defense of Junzhou - because the new Junzhou was led by the third prince Yang Yuanpu, it is difficult to say whether Du Chongtao's authority is cut or increased.

In the new Junzhou, the third prince Yang Yuanpu Yao led the assassination history, and also served as the deputy envoy of Deng Xiang's defense.

Chai Jian and Zhou Yi were appointed as the governors of Junzhou, Shi and Sima, and Yang Yuanpu was in charge of the military and political power of Junzhou.

In addition to the daily duties of the lieutenant of the Xichuan Military Government and the first general of the Longque Army, once Junzhou encounters the enemy, Li Zhihe will hold the military command of Junzhou on behalf of the third prince Yang Yuanpu - during the absence of the three princes in Deng Xiang, the duties and powers of the deputy envoy of defense are also performed by Li Zhihe.

In addition to the establishment of four new cantonment military offices in Junzhou and the relocation of the people to the real border camps, eight cantonment military offices will also be set up in the deserted beaches and wilderness areas of Dengzhou and Xiangzhou.

In addition to the 15,000 people relocated from Dengzhou and Junzhou from Tanzhou, Yuezhou, and Langzhou under the jurisdiction of the Tanzhou Jiedu Envoy, 15,000 households were relocated from Jiangzhou, Hubei, Jing, Huang, Yu, Ying, and other nine prefectures to Junzhou and Dengzhou, and they were added to the newly purchased cantonment military government in the two prefectures as soldiers, and each of the above prefectures had to bear the rations of the relocated households for six months.

In exchange, the imperial court exempted the states from paying taxes for two years.

In fact, in order to support Deng Xiang's war, in the past six months, Jinling has requisitioned a large amount of money and grain from the twelve states.

These money and grain were originally to be converted into future taxes, and they may not be able to be converted into taxes for two years, but I didn't expect the imperial court to pit these twelve states again.

Not to mention that if a large number of taxpayers move out, these states and counties will also lose a lot of tax sources.

However, the three states under the jurisdiction of Tanzhou Jiedu have to bear half of the heavy task of relocation at once, and Tanzhou has expressed its obedient acceptance, and other states and counties can have no choice except for the apportionment layer by layer?
