Xu Ji was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xue Jinyao, "Wait." My mother-in-law is going to hunt...... Plundering the city? Whose order? Is it Lady Yue? ”

Xue Jin was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean by 'whose order'?" My mother doesn't need anyone's orders to do things. ”

"Her own idea?"

"Of course, my mother is an assertive person." Xue Jin shook to go around, but Xu Ji moved his footsteps to stop her, she felt bored, and said angrily: "Go find your mother-in-law, she knows everything, don't block my way, get out of the way." ”

Xu Ji thought for a while before he realized that "mother-in-law" meant Mrs. Lan, and after being stunned, Xue Jinyao had already walked over with the female soldiers.

Xu Ji caught up again and said earnestly, "Miss Jin Shao did me a favor." ”

"Huh?"

"Please mother-in-law do it later, I'll go over and see her right away."

"Now is the best time, the prey hasn't slept yet, and the good things haven't been hidden."

It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and everyone slept late.

Xu Ji held one of Xue Jin's shaking hands and said softly: "Since you and I are husband and wife, we should help and support each other, you want me to voluntarily hand over the magic rod, maybe this is the beginning." ”

Xue Jin rolled his eyes at the hand being shaken, "I warned you before. ”

"Huh?" Xu Ji hurriedly let go, Xue Jinyan did say that he was not allowed to touch her again.

Xue Jinyan's expression slowed slightly, "I can only wait for you for a while." You can go with me, save time and worry. ”

"A moment will be enough, I'll be there later."

Xue Jinyao led his troops out of the palace and went to the palace, Xu Ji ordered Song Xing to prepare a horse and run to the backyard by himself, he had to ask what was going on first, and then persuade him.

Mrs. Lan didn't sleep either, at this time in previous years, the General's Mansion was very lively, first many children and grandchildren came to visit, kneeling in a piece, only a few people were qualified to get up and say a few auspicious words.

The older children and grandchildren have to leave after kowtowing, or gather at the table in the front yard for drinks, and if they go back to their homes for the New Year, the younger favored ones will leave a few behind, laughing and coquettish around the general and his wife.

There is a scene that Mrs. Lan dislikes the most but cannot avoid, every time the general arrives at the New Year, he has to call out many concubines and evaluate them, so that they can compete for favor on the spot, and give heavy rewards to the best.

At this time, Mrs. Lan would shirk her headache, go back to her courtyard early, tease her grandson, and chat with her familiar daughter-in-law and daughter, and would not go to bed until the second half of the night.

This year, there was no one around Mrs. Lan, and suddenly, she missed the general's concubines who only had faces but no faces, they would at least create a lively atmosphere, like pieces of greasy meat, disgusting to see them after eating, and extremely nostalgic when they were hungry, and their mouths were full of relish.

Xu Ji has no impression of these, he once entered the inner courtyard when he was very young, accompanied Mrs. Lan for the New Year, and when he was a little older, he lost such treatment, usually kowtowing and returning to his house, or drinking by himself, or reading, and never knew what the excitement in the house was.

Therefore, he did not feel that this year had been cold at all.

He is now the king of Wu, and he can directly enter the house without reporting.

Mrs. Lan set up a small table of wine and food, and was drinking with an old woman who stayed with her, and as soon as Xu Ji came in, the old woman immediately got up to avoid it.

"Doesn't King Wu celebrate the New Year with his family?" Mrs. Lan asked lightly.

"You persuaded the Lady of the Coming World to plunder the city?"

"Is she really going to do that?" Madame Lan showed a hint of surprise.

"Just tonight, it's about to start, and she calls it 'hunting.'"

A smile appeared on Mrs. Lan's face, "Huang Tieniang is really a wonderful person, interesting, I have never seen a woman as daring to act like her." ”

Xu Ji took a step forward, "Huang Tieniang wants to loot the whole city, and the people of the Eastern Capital are in great trouble, please tell me Mrs. Lan, what did you say to her?" ”

Mrs. Lan shook her head slightly, "What can I say?" According to her heart, looting is a matter of time and time, she has long been accustomed to it, there have been many things in the past two days, and she has not done it, I just encourage a few words. Moreover, my few words have saved many people. ”

"What did you say?"

"I said that eighty percent of the world's magnates gathered in the Eastern Capital, and they were the ones who conquered and oppressed the place, and they were the ones who sent troops to attack the army that descended to the world, and now there is an accident in the Eastern Capital, they have escaped cleanly, and they must have left a lot of gold and silver treasures at home in a hurry, and if the army does not start early, the property will be stolen by the traitors."

"That's all?"

"This is Huang Tieniang's original intention, one point is clear, how much property can the people have, is it worth her trouble to rob?"

"Mrs. Lan is luring the wolf into the house, Huang Tieniang looks down on the people's property, but as soon as she makes a move, the soldiers will be moved, they don't think the people are poor, what to rob. Once the looting began in the city, the army outside the city would naturally have to share the pie, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and their families poured into the eastern capital, and no one could stop them, and they did not dare to stop them. The eastern capital will be swept to the ground, and the people will be reduced to slavery, and no one will be spared. ”

"Xu Gongzi thinks so far, I can't say that Huang Tieniang is not, make her angry, right? Besides, the person who brought the army into the city was Xu Gongzi, and it was too late for you to think of the consequences at this time. ”

Xu Ji turned around and left, and Mrs. Lan said loudly behind him: "Since you have entered its way, you should abide by its rules, people's hearts are greedy, it has always been like this, Xu Gongzi must not disobey!" ”

Xu Ji didn't answer, walked away, Mrs. Lan called the old woman, continued to drink, and said with a smile: "This year's Chinese New Year's Eve is more lively than in previous years, but unfortunately, I still can't see it with my own eyes." ”

Xu Ji hurriedly left the house, he had a good impression of Mrs. Lan, but at this time it was gone, but he couldn't hate it, Mrs. Lan stayed in the house alone, except for flattering people to protect herself, there seemed to be no other choice.

Is it true that people's hearts are greedy and inviolable? Xu Ji had to challenge it.

Huang Tieniang is an anxious son, her daughter pleaded, she really just waited for a while, "Why hasn't King Wu been yet?" He's good at everything, but his temperament isn't bold enough. Jin Shao, you must not learn from him, if you have children in the future, you will take them with you, raise them well, and ask for his appearance, not his temperament. ”

Xue Jin snorted, "I don't want to have children, it's disgusting." ”

"I worked hard to give birth to you, and you actually said it was disgusting?"

"I mean, it's disgusting."

"Haha, you're still too young, you'll understand it soon...... Forget it, why are you talking to you? I won't wait, my son-in-law is here, let him go find us. Your mother-in-law said that the Dongdu Lou and Lan families are the richest, but the prince is not as good as these two, the Lou family is a relative, forget it for the time being, let's go to the Lan family first. ”

"Isn't my mother-in-law's surname Lan?"

"The water spilled by the married girl, she is now the Lou family."

"What about me?"

"You will always be the Xue family." Huang Tieniang said angrily, "The son-in-law is also a member of the Xue family, if he has a different heart, you come to me." ”

Xue Jin shook and said coldly: "I can manage it myself, why are I looking for you?" ”

Huang Tieniang laughed, "Let's go, go to the Lan family, choose your daughter, and take what you like." ”

Huang Tieniang led hundreds of female soldiers out of the palace, led by the eunuchs, and went straight to the Lan Mansion.

Xu Ji came a step late, and the soldiers under Xue Liujia were gathering in front of the main hall to discuss, all of them were gearing up, ready to grab it.

"It's Huang Tieniang today, it's our turn tomorrow, right? I've long had my eye on a house, it's really good, I can live for a few generations. ”

"Fool, what do you want a house for, burn it down, ask for money, goods, people, livestock, these things can be carried with you, it is safer."

"Aren't we going to stay in the Eastern Capital?"

"After fighting for so long, you still don't get the hang of it, we can take the Eastern Capital, but others can't? Our army is suitable for fighting everywhere, where there are good things, and it is much more interesting than defending the city. ”

Seeing King Wu, the soldiers greeted each other with smiles, "Uncle is late, Huang Tieniang and Jin Shengnu have already left, and they left a message to go to the Lan family." ”

"I want to see the Ancestral King."

"Uncle is not an outsider, just go in. Say two good words for us, divide the city early, and let us have a happy New Year! ”

Xue Liujia called a few palace maids and asked them to accompany them to drink, and was teaching them: "Show some smiles, what you look like when you wait for the emperor in the palace, what you have to do to me." Haha, the son-in-law is here, sit, and drink a few glasses together. Tell me, why are the women in the palace crying and sad? It seems that the Queen Mother is no better, and I really want to get her...... Don't rush yet. Son-in-law has something? Aren't we meeting tomorrow? ”

Xu Ji stepped forward and arched his hand: "Mother-in-law and Miss Jin Shao went to 'hunt' together, does your father-in-law know?" ”

"Really? Didn't tell me. Alas, your mother-in-law has this temper, and every time she fights, she will be unhappy if she does not share the first share. Come, drink, marry a wife, and then you have to accept your fate. Let's take pity on each other, you can pick one and take it away, and I'll keep it secret for you. Xue Liujia blinked.

"The eastern capital is the capital of the ancestral king's hegemony, and in the future, the world will be pacified, and it will be based on this, once it is plundered, the people's hearts will be lost, and the eastern capital will become a disaster for the army of the world......"

Xue Liujia got up and left the table, came to Xu Ji, and pulled him out a few steps, "I understand what you mean, I do regard Dongdu as a hegemonic asset, but don't be too rigid, Dongdu is so big, it doesn't hurt to rob two families." If you want to level the world, start with governing the family, husband and wife are not in harmony, the whole army is not in harmony, the whole army is not in harmony, why should you fight for the world? So let them go, for the woman is short-sighted, and she does not have to worry about them. ”

"The ancestor doesn't care, I don't care, but the soldiers below are counting, just outside the palace, everyone is already discussing the looting, and outside the city ......" Before the words came out, Xu Ji knew that he was going to say the wrong thing.

Sure enough, hearing the word "outside the city", Xue Liujia's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood that this was a good opportunity, most of the soldiers outside the city were his subordinates, if they were indignant and wanted to enter the city to share the spoils, it was exactly what he wanted, those people only contributed three points to the savior, but they would do their best to grab things.

Xu Ji could only continue, "The army outside the city will be in turmoil, although my father-in-law can take the opportunity to get rid of the kings, but he will lose the eastern capital, the news spreads, and the army will attack the city in the future, it will be even more difficult, and the other party will definitely desperately refuse to defend." ”

"Ah, the son-in-law is right, but I can't help it, that mother-in-law doesn't listen to me at all, and she can't take a step when she sees the jewelry, and how many times she delays the army's journey. Just bear with it this time, as for the other soldiers, slowly persuade them, it's really not good, give them half of the eastern capital, and leave half as the capital for hegemony, it's always okay, right? ”

"Once the name of the rebel army is lost, there is no way to get it back."

"Haha, what's the use of a name? The Incarnates are real people, and they don't need that thing. The son-in-law doesn't have to say much, sit down and have a few drinks first, celebrate the New Year steadily, and talk about what to do tomorrow. ”

"If I stop my mother-in-law in the name of the Ancestral King, is it okay?"

"Well, yes, you can, but don't anger her, first, she won't listen to me, and second, if she settles accounts with me, I have to settle accounts with you."

Xu Ji thanked him, turned around and walked out of the hall quickly.

Xue Liujia turned around and said to several palace maids with sad faces: "This is my son-in-law King Wu, who used to be the son of the great general Lou Wen, and now his surname has been changed to Xu. But it's okay, if he follows me in everything, I'll have to be more careful. You guys are laughing at one, who are you crying for the New Year? ”

Xu Ji called the Venerable Master to go straight to the Lan family, but he didn't think about how to persuade Huang Tieniang.
