Zhang Shiyu and the queen fled to the outside of the Saiwai, the matter has not been leaked, only a few people know, the lord of Huanyan and the king of Jibei have sent cronies to chase, but it is a step too late, when the emperor has already joined He Rongren.

During the dispute between the two sides, the king of Jin led the army to arrive, without saying a word, the emperor was killed, claiming to be a strong arm for revenge, and then set up Zhang Geng as the new emperor of the Central Plains.

King Jin swept away competitors, did not anger Shan Yu's wife, but gained trust, and there were many rumors outside the Sai, all saying that the eldest wife was going to marry King Jin and jointly set up a new Shan Yu.

The king of Jin sent the envoy back to Yuyang, and asked them to bring a message to the county lord of Huanyan, asking her to lead the ministers to meet the new emperor outside the Saiwai, and also sent back a human head, the envoy and everyone did not know what they meant, and the county lord of Huanyan did not explain after reading it.

After learning the news, the king of Jibei and his wife were grief-stricken, and Zhang Shiqing stayed to comfort his parents, but finally insisted on leaving despite opposition.

"They have lost their minds, they want to avenge their brother, Huan Yan refuses to send troops, they actually ...... He even beat my idea again, wanting to marry me to King Ning in exchange for an army. Zhang Shiqing was not only sad, but also annoyed, "I said that I am already married, whether they agree or disagree, they forced me to marry you at the beginning, and now it is too late to regret it." So, here I am. ”

Zhang Shiqing turned around in place, "This place is much smaller than I remember. ”

"Because you've grown up."

"Don't act like I used to be naïve." Zhang Shiqing stood in place, biting his lip and thinking for a while, and asked, "Are we going to live here forever?" ”

"As long as no one picks us up."

"You're not traveling anymore?"

"I have traveled to eight of the Kyushu in the world, and there is only one Wuzhou left, so don't go. I've done everything I need to do and can do, and I just want to stay in this valley to mow the grass and read. ”

"Has the situation in the world changed drastically?"

"I can't do anything anymore, I have to go with the flow, I can steal my life, if I can't, I have to accept my fate."

Zhang Shiqing frowned slightly, "I don't like your depression." ”

"I don't care about the general situation anymore, but I want to do everything I can to save the lives of the people in the valley."

Zhang Shiqing smiled and said: "This is like words." Alas, what you can't control, I can't control even more, Huan Yan still refuses to give up, but ...... Let her be. You just said you want to stay in the valley to cut the grass and study? ”

"Yes."

"Okay, let's start by mowing the grass, we defeated them once, and the advantage is on our side." Zhang Shiqing turned around and walked out of the house, and soon came back again, asking suspiciously: "...... that kid?"

"Mavi's son, leave it to me to take care of."

"Oh."

Zhang Shiqing brought four maids, all of whom were originally female soldiers in the incarnation army, who followed the princess from Qinzhou and never left anywhere, as well as three maids and seven palace servants, all of whom were over forty years old.

The population of the valley increased suddenly, more than 20 men and women, Zhang Shiqing no longer wanted the news of his brother's death, and led everyone to weed and repair the house early the next morning, except for Ma Shi, who was too young, everyone had to participate, even Xu Ji couldn't stay out of the matter, changed into short clothes, and cut the grass with everyone.

Last time, weeding was just for fun, this time Zhang Shiqing took it as a battle, visited everywhere, checked the grass, and then attacked the main general first, and then removed the remnants, burned to destroy the roots, dug ditches to block the enemy, and the command was determined, and everyone in the valley admired it, saying that she had the style of a general.

Suddenly, more than a month, the valley is new, it is too late to plant grain, but a bunch of green vegetables have sprouted, and the growth is gratifying.

One afternoon in early autumn, someone from Yecheng came to visit again.

Feng Juniang sent a lot of grain and grass, and when she saw the scene in the valley, she was very surprised, "It is said that Siguo Valley has become barren, why is it more neat than before?" ”

Zhang Shiqing smiled: "It's all my credit...... No, no, it's everyone's credit, but I assigned it, what does Sister Feng think? ”

Feng Juniang said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect that the little county lord was also a good hand as a housewife." ”

Zhang Shiqing's face turned red, "As soon as you come, you will talk nonsense." "When she gets out of the house, she has a busy day and has a lot to do.

Feng Juniang looked at Xu Ji, "The little county lord is also not considerate of his husband, and he tired his son like this." ”

Xu Ji tanned a lot, and only three or four points were left in his bookish anger, and said with a smile: "But I eat enough and sleep soundly, and I don't feel too tired." ”

"Surely you can eat enough and sleep so well?"

Xu Ji was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "You really talked nonsense as soon as you came." ”

"The king of Jibei never forgets, and still wants to marry the little lord to a certain hero, and lend troops to avenge the emperor, so the prince is not in a hurry?"

"How can you be in a hurry about this kind of thing? Let's talk ...... again."

"Childe doesn't need to say it, I'll leave this matter to me."

"What do you want?" Xu Ji asked vigilantly.

Feng Juniang refused to answer, and said instead: "I came by order to let Gongzi know: King Ning led his army north, claiming to be 300,000 people. ”

Xu Ji exhaled lightly and muttered, "Finally." ”

Feng Juniang smiled and said: "The county lord said that the prince intended to lead King Ning north, but I still don't believe it, it turns out to be true." ”

"Even so, the county lord of Huanyan still has to stick to Yecheng?"

"Not to mention Yecheng, the Jizhou army has advanced to Mengjin and wants to fight a decisive battle with King Ning along the river. I came to visit this time to ask my son for advice. ”

Xu Ji shook his head, "The strategy I can think of, the county lord of Huanyan can think of, to repel the Ning army, it is not difficult to say, it is not easy to say, it is all about employing people and the general trend." ”

"Even so, I want to hear Childe's opinion."

Xu Ji was silent for a while, "Why don't you talk about the plan of the county lord of Huanyan first, if I have other ideas, I will tell you." ”

"Childe is light, okay. Well...... In fact, it is also simple, the county lord has been prepared for a long time, first he tried his best to defeat the public opinion, cede Jinyang to Bao Dun, and form an alliance with him to resist King Ning together. ”

"The person he cares about most is his hometown of Runan."

Feng Juniang said with a smile: "Luo Hanqi is a reckless person, he has done the court a great favor, after he retreated from Yecheng, he was very angry, and counted all the sins on Bao Dun's head, and did not ask King Ning, and directly sent troops to Runan to slaughter the city." When the news came, Bao Dun immediately declared his rebellion against Ning and was willing to submit to the imperial court. ”

"Please continue."

"The Ning army is powerful, and the county lord said that only Bao Dun is not enough, and sent people to Huaizhou to persuade the Sheng family."

"The county lord of Huanyan wants to form an alliance with the Sheng family, not once or twice, and even the daughter of the Emperor of All Things has been married, but it has not worked."

"It is true that the Sheng family is extremely unreliable, and this time is the same, but the Sheng family is very afraid of being annexed by King Ning, so at least they can send troops to harass Jiangdong, so that King Ning can't go north with all his strength."

Xu Ji thought for a while, "There is no better plan than this." ”

"What do you think you have a chance of winning?"

"It sees."

"See what?"

"Let's see how the county lord of Huanyan deals with the internal troubles in the court."

Feng Juniang sighed lightly, "The prince and the county lord really have a heart, and they all think of the same thing, that is, the internal troubles are a headache." There is a lack of an emperor in the imperial court, and the king of Jibei is suitable, but the ministers disagree, saying that there is no reason for a son to succeed his father, at least he must be of the same generation. But the one outside the plug couldn't admit that the king of Jibei had no heirs, and the emperor didn't leave a man and a half. The county lord has two younger brothers, but they are not of the right generation. Now there is only one candidate left, the county lord once had a brother, who died at an early age, leaving a son, seven years old this year, the same generation as the Daxing Emperor, the ministers agreed, and the king of Jibei had no opinion, but the county lord refused to nod. ”

"Because of the king of Xiangdong."

"Well, the king of Xiangdong is still in the hands of King Ning, although the county lord can't spoil state affairs because of family affairs, but she said that once a new emperor is established, King Xiangdong is the emperor's grandfather, and it will become a constraint in the imperial court, so she decided to postpone the election of a new emperor and still govern things in the name of Emperor Daxing."

Xu Ji was silent.

Feng Juniang said: "Childe thinks it's inappropriate? ”

"Lord Huanyan is right, but ...... There is no better option. What's going on outside the plug? It is said that the King of Jin sent a human head? ”

"This thing...... I can't say. ”

"Actually, it was sent by Shan Yu's wife, right?"

"It turns out that Gongzi guessed it, then there is nothing to hide, King Jin is still smart, and when he arrived outside the Saiwai, he quickly found out the confidant placed by the county lord in He Rong's department, killed it with a knife, and sent the head back. But that's all, the king of Jin was busy quelling the rebellion outside the fortress, and the county lord said that unless the Central Plains was in turmoil again, he would not enter the fortress nine times out of ten. ”

"The county lord of Huanyan has made careful arrangements, although the odds of winning are not ten, but there are six or seven points, but this battle will be fought for a long time, and Bao Dun and the Sheng family are not credible people."

"Let's take one step at a time, do you have any additions?"

Xu Ji shook his head.

Feng Juniang was a little disappointed, "Childe really doesn't care about idle things." ”

Xu Ji smiled: "There really is no better idea. ”

Feng Juniang said goodbye and did not leave immediately, but found Zhang Shiqing and whispered to her for a long time.

That night, Zhang Shiqing sent someone to invite Xu Ji to his room - the two lived side by side, and they went out to turn a corner.

With candles lit in the house, Zhang Shiqing changed into new clothes and said, "Sister Feng said that we have to be real husband and wife to get rid of my father's thoughts......

Xu Ji smiled: "Mrs. Tian is not all nonsense here. ”

Zhang Shiqing snorted lightly and said, "Sister Feng said that she didn't persuade you to come up with an idea, and I believe you now." ”

"Just seventy percent?"

Zhang Shiqing smiled and nodded, "It's only seventy." ”

Xu Ji blew out the candle and didn't care about such trivial things.

Autumn went to winter, and then it was spring, the war really fell into a stalemate, the Ning army once attacked the city of Yecheng, and soon retreated, Siguo Valley was not affected, in addition, there was very little news coming, the world is up and down, strong and weak, the people in the valley do not know.

One evening in early summer, Siguogu welcomed an unexpected guest who asked to see Ma Jin by name.

Ma Jin went out of the valley to meet the guests, and soon returned alone, delivering a letter to Xu's house.

Xu Zheng taught Ma Shi to read and write, took the letter and read it, and returned it to Ma Jin, "The original letter is returned." ”

"General Song's rise is imminent, Mr. Xu is really not moved?"

"I have done too many conspiracies and tricks, harmed countless people, and carried an ominous person, General Song still don't use me."

Majin waited for a while, "I have to go back." ”

Xu Ji got up and arched his hand, "Brother Ma take care." ”

Ma Jin glanced at Ma Shi, who was still trying to write, and was reluctant, but he arched his hand, turned around and left, without saying a word.

Xu Ji sat down and continued to teach Ma Shi how to hold the pen, and his heart was like water.
