The Bazhou Field, which had been prosperous for many years, was still in a mess when the soldiers and horses of Beiyan disguised themselves as merchant groups were robbed on this day, although they were not yet in ruins. The other merchant groups in Northern Yan were personally expelled by Zhu Hanqing, who attacked, and those people from the Wu State merchant group were placed under house arrest by Liu Jingxuan, and even the defenders were disarmed and guarded by Qi Qi, so they were even more deserted.

At this moment, Xiao Jingxian was accompanied by Qing Fengnian, and during the leisurely stroll, he also went to check the goods on some stalls that had not had time to be moved, and seemed to be very interested in the transactions in this field. However, what he talked about talking to Qing Yunian had nothing to do with the field, because what Xiao Jing inquired about first was the gossip between Qing Fengnian and Ling Zhu'er's brother and sister.

Qing Fengnian was already thin-skinned, and on weekdays, he was not as lively and active as the little monkey and talked to people everywhere, so he made fun of this children's affair in person, and there were Song Pujia's little girls in the past, but as they and Ling Zhu'er gradually got acquainted with each other, they became close friends in the boudoir, at least they pointed at them behind their backs and muttered, and there were a lot less expenses in person.

Therefore, at this time, he looked very embarrassed under Xiao Jingxian's pressing questioning.

In particular, Xiao Jingxian's questions are all extremely simple and straightforward. For example, when to get married, when to have children, and how many children you plan to have...... God knows that he cherishes the hard-won days of getting along now, how can he dare to think about the long term?

Just when Senior Brother Qing, who was dignified in the eyes of others, was about to turn into a pig's liver color, Xiao Jingxian suddenly laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tease you." Really, don't you know how cheeky Xue Qianqiu is? ”

Qing Fengnian was relieved at the same time, but he only heard a familiar voice behind him: "Qianqiu's cheekiness is not something that everyone can learn." ”

Recognizing that it was Zhou Jiyue's voice, Qing Fengnian thought to himself that he couldn't wonder that he didn't notice anyone approaching at all. He hurriedly turned around and said hello, and then saw Zhou Jiyue nodding to him with a smile: "It is really difficult for a strong man to let an honest person like you, Senior Brother Qing, accompany King Jin to visit this Bazhou field." You go to the general, I'll stay here. ”

Qing Fengnian couldn't wait for such an arrangement, but after all, it was Liu Jingxuan who ordered him before, so he hesitated for a moment, and saw that the expression on Zhou Jiyue's face was not funny, and he finally couldn't bear the exhaustion when he had just dealt with Xiao Jingxian, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Then I'll go back to my life first!" ”

Seeing Qing Fengnian fleeing and leaving quickly, Xiao Jingxian stared at the person's back for a long time, and then he said with a smile: "Ji Yue, even if you are the master of the sect without a disciple by your side, you are still full of momentum. Sometimes I can't help but wonder, was it just a moment of kindness or insight that Qianqiu was able to pick you up from the street in the first place? ”

Zhou Jiyue smiled, she didn't answer Xiao Jingxian's topic at all, she had already checked the surrounding situation when she was just approaching, and made sure that there were no outsiders at this time, so she asked bluntly: "King Jin is very interested in the field?" ”

"It's not against the field, but against Liu Jingxuan." Xiao Jingxian also went straight to the point. Seeing Zhou Jiyue's eyes suddenly turn sharp, he shook his hand with a smile and said, "Jiyue, don't put on such a murderous look, I didn't say what I wanted to do to Liu Jingxuan." He is the lord of Bazhou, what about me now, that is, a bare-bones prince, I can't even tie him up, what can I do with him? ”

"Wherever His Royal Highness King Jin goes, there will be unstoppable turmoil, which has always been like this. What's more, Qianqiu has always had a high opinion of you, so why should you be arrogant? Otherwise, the emperor and the old lady Yue would not have specially instructed her to take a good look at Xiao Jingxian.

Xiao Jingxian narrowed his eyes and asked, "What does Qianqiu say about me?" ”

"He said you were a wicked." Zhou Jiyue smiled and directly revealed Yue Qianqiu's original words. But the next moment, Xiao Jingxian actually laughed out loud, and the laughter was unscrupulous, as if he was not afraid of revealing his identity, let alone attracting outsiders. Faced with such an unexpected situation, Zhou Jiyue couldn't help but regret angering this tricky man, but it was too late.

"Qianqiu herself is a demon, are you embarrassed to talk about me?" Xiao Jingxian laughed as if tears came out, and then he teased Yue Qianqiu in a good mood, and then said lightly, "Against Qianqiu's comment, if I don't make waves, won't I be sorry for his demonic evaluation?" Ji Yue, let me ask you, what do you think of Liu Jingxuan? ”

Faced with such a sudden question, Zhou Jiyue frowned slightly, and then said calmly: "General Liu is Qianqiu's uncle, I once heard that he guarded the frontier back then, and his military achievements were great, but he has always been jealous of Shangfeng and pressed for credit, and later he was plotted by Gao Ze's two brothers, and after being captured, he descended to Beiyan......"

"Okay, you don't have to say anything about the rest later, because I know more than you do!" Xiao Jing interrupted Zhou Jiyue first, and then said with a smile, "After all, in Liu Jingxuan's years in Beiyan, about a few people know what is going on. After he and Dai Jinglan finally surrendered because their family was betrayed, they were placed in Shangjing. ”

"They are disciples of the Xuandao Hall, although the Xuandao Hall has been removed from the list at that time, but after all, they are former fierce generals, even after surrendering, they accepted the house rewarded by my brother-in-law, and also took over the family members who were betrayed to Beiyan, but they did not use a servant, coarse tea and light food every day, and the expenses did not rely on Yulu, but personally planted the land and vegetables, and the female dependents sewed and mended the female red."

Zhou Jiyue knew for the first time that Liu Dai's two families were living this kind of life in Beiyan. However, she keenly felt that Xiao Jingxian was definitely going to say more than that. Sure enough, the next moment, Xiao Jingxian suddenly changed his words.

Later, Liu Dai and his two sent their biological sons Nangui to contact Dawu, and through Qianqiu's master, as well as the Yue Lao Xiangye and the eldest princess of Dongyang behind him, they successfully turned the iron case of the year over, prompting the Emperor of Dawu to make up his mind to rebuild Wupinlu. Judging by this result alone, they have lived in the enemy camp for many years, and they are unyielding. But have you ever thought that the so-called loyalty is so absolute? Will people still miss their homeland after suffering such injustice and shame? ”

Zhou Jiyue, who suddenly changed color, couldn't help but sneer: "Could it be that the King of Jin thinks that the two generals Liu Dai should not think about their homeland at that time, but should stoop to the enemy?" ”

"Li Ling, who was planted by three generations of generals in the Han Dynasty, planned to surrender to the Xiongnu because of the lack of reinforcements, but because Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty punished his three clans, in the end the surrender became a real surrender, but why not because from his grandfather, to his father, to himself, all suffered unfair treatment? And Liu Jingxuan, who was born at the grassroots level and studied in the Xuandao Hall, was directly betrayed to Beiyan by the dog officials in the DPRK and China, and even his family members were betrayed to Beiyan. ”

Without waiting for Zhou Jiyue to refute again, Xiao Jingxian said meaningfully: "You probably think that Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan have always been put on hold in Beiyan, right?" But have you seen Xu Houcong, the former head of the Shengong Sect? Even Xu Houcong, who has never been on the battlefield, my brother-in-law is not stingy, not to mention Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan, who are fierce generals on the battlefield? ”

"Do you think that it was really Qianqiu who jumped up and down on Beiyan last year, and because I also fished in troubled waters, Xu Houcong was able to be reused? If you think that way, you are wrong, because my brother-in-law has killed countless people, but he is very short of talents, as long as the person he likes will definitely use it in an eclectic way. And he had planned to give Liu Jingxuan Dai Jinglan's position......"

Xiao Jingxian paused suddenly, and then the corners of his mouth turned up in an arc: "It's not like a left, center, and right general of the forbidden army, but it's actually just the role of a watchdog." My brother-in-law didn't mean to force Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan to fight against their homeland at all, but planned to give them a new world. He plans to put people on the eastern border of Northern Yan and fight against the Jurchens."

Hearing this, even though Zhou Jiyue had been warning herself not to listen to Xiao Jingxian's demagoguery before, and not to be successfully sowing discord, she still couldn't help but sneer: "If you want someone to give yourself your life and charge into battle, dare to ask what kind of high-ranking official Houlu Emperor Beiyan prescribed?" ”

"Once the military merit is established, the king of the county will be crowned. There is no need to change the surname, because Beiyan has a king with a different surname! ”

Even if Zhou Jiyue was resolute, she still gasped when she heard such an unexpected Gao Jue. I think that when Xiao Jingxian betrayed the country and surrendered to the south with the respect of the uncle of the Northern Yan State, Emperor Dawu overrode public opinion and still crowned him the king of Jin, which has caused an uproar in Dawu. However, Xiao Jingxian's status in Beiyan is different after all, but Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan are just ordinary border generals in Dawu.

For such two generals who had no choice but to surrender after being captured, Emperor Beiyan was able to offer such a high price?

Zhou Jiyue warned herself in her heart not to be lured into Xiao Jingxian, but reason told her that what Xiao Jingxian said was not impossible. Because Yue Qianqiu had complained to her more than once about the whims of the Northern Yan Emperor, it was unpredictable that such a monarch would be very likely to do that kind of thing.

What's more, Yue Qianqiu's adoptive father, the younger one who married Princess Beiyan, isn't he also the king of the county?

Seeing that Zhou Jiyue didn't speak, Xiao Jingxian said slowly: "So, at that time, Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan didn't agree, and they were only willing to take an idle position in Shangjing, and my brother-in-law didn't have an opinion, I think it's very surprising." After all, as we all know, Emperor Beiyan is a very generous person, but he is also a very decisive person. If he refuses to be used by him, then he will die, which is his purpose. ”

Hearing this, Zhou Jiyue finally fully confirmed that Xiao Jingxian was indeed hinting, or even explicitly indicating him, that Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan had a problem. Although it was emotionally difficult for her to accept such a judgment, after all, she and Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning did not know each other when they were young, and now they have been together for two years and have a close relationship, plus Liu Dai is the predecessor of the Xuandao Hall, she doesn't want to believe it at all, but she has to think about the consequences if there is anything in case.

Her heart fluctuated violently, but her face seemed extremely calm: "King Jin didn't say it before, why did he deliberately point out this matter now when he arrives in Bazhou?" ”

"In the past, Liu Jingxuan had nothing to do with me, but now ...... Being in Bazhou, and with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't you think that if there is an accident, it will be a major event that will shake the world? Xiao Jingxian looked at Zhou Jiyue with a smile, and then said lightly, "But I'm just giving you a reminder, but I haven't concluded that Liu Dai and the others really have anything to do with Beiyan, you might as well take a closer look at Qianqiu." ”

Seeing Xiao Jingxian turn around and walk away, Zhou Jiyue only felt upset, and once again deeply realized that Yue Qianqiu's evaluation of Xiao Jingxian's evil was not wrong at all. His mere words aroused her suspicions, and most importantly, she couldn't find out how to verify it!

She even doubted whether Old Lady Yue and Eldest Princess Dongyang knew this. If they knew, what kind of thoughts they had, they agreed with the emperor to send the prince of Dawu to Bazhou.

Having experienced the darkest years of martial arts, the last thing she wants is for the current situation to change. Moreover, because of Liu Jingxuan and Dai Jinglan's sensitive background and experience, once they really have any problems, it will be unbearable pain for everyone!

Zhou Jiyue, who was full of irritability, finally returned to the gate of Yisi in Rongchang City, but saw Liu Lingzheng personally guarding there with a few personal soldiers. Thinking that Liu Jingxuan had left most of his personal soldiers in Bazhou City before, and most of the people on this trip were from the Bazhou Army, but just now seeing their attitude towards the officials and officers and soldiers in the field, they clearly shared the same hatred for the enemy, she sighed in her heart that Liu Jingxuan would really lead the troops, and then strode forward.

When Liu Ling saw Zhou Jiyue coming, he hurriedly stepped forward. Knowing that Yue Qianqiu and Zhou Jiyue were the prince's left and right guards, they were definitely the confidants of His Royal Highness the Prince, so they didn't dare to despise her just because she was a woman. Hearing Zhou Jiyue ask Zhu Hanqing if there was any news over there, and whether the scouts found any Beiyan soldiers and horses after searching around the field, he explained everything in detail.

"General Zhu's fireworks message hasn't come back yet, but the scouts have reported back, and there is nothing unusual within three miles of the field. Please also rest assured that Lord Zhou, you must know that General Zhu has won the true biography of General Zhu, and there will be no problems in such a small battle. ”

Zhou Jiyue bowed slightly, and then asked Liu Jingxuan was still talking to Feng Zhen, Yue Qianqiu and the others did not come out, and she was not in a hurry to go in, so she simply stood at the door and gossiped with Liu Ling.

She has been the sect master of the White Lotus Sect for many years, and when she is majestic, she is imposing, but when she is kind, she can make people feel like a spring breeze, plus she does not have the reputation of being a trick like Yue Qianqiu, and all she asks about trivial things in life is trivial, so Liu Ling is not too defensive against her, and her tone is gradually a little relaxed. When she asked about Liu Jingxuan's daily life at home, he was even more defenseless.

After going back and forth, Zhou Jiyue learned that in addition to Liu Fangyuan, who had been left in Jinling before, Liu Jingxuan's wife also lived in Bazhou City with a son and two daughters, living a simple life, living in a simple place, and did not participate in the communication of the gentry in the city in the past, only occasionally sent things to the Dai family on the same border, and it is said that they once promised each other marriage.

Just when Zhou Jiyue wanted to continue to ask which son and which lady were married, she suddenly noticed that there was movement inside, and when she looked up, she ran out in a hurry, and then pulled her inside without saying a word.

After leaving Liu Ling and making sure that there was no one around, Yue Qianqiu let go of his hand and grinned at Zhou Jiyue.

"Master Peng really has to wrap me a thank you money when he turns around!"
