"Young master, let it be." Qin Huaishan shook his head and said.

As soon as the words fell, one of his subordinates came to report: "General, Madame has arrived!" ”

Shi Min turned to look, and Shi Xin really walked towards him with his stomach up.

"Husband!" Shi Xin shouted from afar.

"How did you get back? This chaotic ......"

Before Shi Min could finish speaking, Shi Xin interrupted him and asked, "What about my father?" ”

Shi Min was speechless for a moment.

Seeing Shi Min's reaction, Shi Xin already understood, tears flowed out instantly, and she cried, "How did you promise me?" You said you wouldn't embarrass him! But now! ”

"Madam, the death of the first emperor was committed by Zhang Bao, and it has nothing to do with the general! You ......"

"Shut up!" Shi Xin almost roared.

Zhang Mufeng was grabbed by Qin Huaishan and motioned for him not to speak.

"Stand down!" Shi Min commanded everyone.

Qin Huaishan hurriedly glanced at everyone, and everyone retreated with interest.

"You speak!" Shi Xin shouted.

"The death of the first emperor was unexpected by me! From start to finish, I never thought about what I was going to do with him! ”

"But because of your ambitions, my father became a victim, didn't he?"

"The Xihuahou Mansion has come to this point, not because we are ambitious! It was the ambition of the Hu people that deeply hurt the Han people! Zhang Bao wants to tilt the power of the government and the opposition, so he regards my Xihua Marquis Mansion as a stumbling block, and Shi Jian wants to be the emperor, and he wants to get rid of us! Shi Min took a deep breath and said, "The Xihua Marquis Mansion never wanted to cause war, just wanted the country to be stable and the world to be peaceful!" But in the whirlpool of Yecheng, I had to resist! ”

Shi Xin's crying pear blossoms brought rain, and she was extremely sad, so she sat directly on the ground.

Shi Min couldn't stand it, so he picked her up and sent her to the house where she lived when she was not married.

"I hate you!" Shi Xin sat at the head of the bed, looked at Shi Min and said.

"I didn't kill the first emperor! What's the use of hating me? Shi Min asked rhetorically.

"Aren't you very capable? Why didn't you save him? Just watch him die? ”

"At that time, I was under siege, my life was hanging by a thread, and I couldn't see the first emperor at all! How do you ask me to save him? What's more, I suspect that this is Shi Jian's conspiracy at all, and Zhang Bao is just a substitute for the dead! ”

"What about the little brother? How old is he? It's just gone? ”

"Now that it's pointless, there's no point in pursuing any of this? I just want to tell you that all the tragedies you see, all the culprits, are the result of Shi Jian's conspiracy. ”

Shi Xin unexpectedly did not continue to entangle with Shi Min, and said calmly: "Let me stay alone for a while." ”

Shi Min was a little surprised by Shi Xin's reaction, and he still had a lot of words in his mind to comfort her, which seemed to be useless at all.

"You ......"

"Don't say anything, just leave me alone for a while!" Shi Xin's face was expressionless, and his expression was very calm.

Seeing that Shi Xin was no longer crying, Shi Min was also temporarily relieved and retreated. Before leaving, he gently closed the door, looked at Shi Xin through the crack in the door, and saw that she was still sitting there, motionless.

"Guarding the princess outside." Shi Min instructed the two maidservants.

"Yes......"

Out of the courtyard, Qin Huaishan and the others were standing outside waiting, and when Shi Min saw them, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

"The last general is worried about ......"

"What is there to worry about, princess, she is very quiet, crying for a while, and she will not make any fuss." Shi Min said.

"Got it done so quickly? What did you tell her? Li Chang asked.

"I didn't say anything, I didn't say a lot of things before I could say anything, so she didn't cry or make trouble!"

Qin Huaishan asked with some sorrow: "Young master, Madame is now alone in the house?" ”

"Yes." Shi Min nodded and said, "But there are two maidservants guarding outside." ”

Qin Huaishan nodded and said, "That's good!" ”

"What about Miss Qin? Didn't she come back with Xin'er? Why didn't you see anyone? Shi Min asked.

Zhang Mufeng said: "Back to the general, I just heard that Madame had just entered the city, and she was attacked by a mob, and Miss Qin was cut on the arm by that person in order to save Madame, and she was bandaging her wound at the moment. ”

Shi Min hurriedly asked, "Thugs? Did the man catch it? Who sent it? ”

"I've been caught, I'm still interrogating, and I don't know who sent it for the time being!"

"Young master, Yecheng has been too chaotic recently, and the refugees outside are mixed, and there is no shortage of people with bad intentions."

"Our soldiers and horses are not specifically used to defend the city and law and order, there is always a process." Shi Min said, and said to Qin Huaishan, Zhang Mufeng and the others: "Let's go, go to the front hall, idle is idle, let's discuss some things!" ”

"Young master, please."

A few people followed Shi Min, and Qin Huaishan said on the side: "According to the old man's opinion, those prisoners of the previous forbidden army and patrol battalion can be commanded by reliable people to assist our men and horses, and be responsible for the security of Yecheng, after all, there are some things that they know better." ”

"No! This idea of the gentleman will eventually feel inappropriate! Zhang Mufeng was the first to object.

"Little general, how can you see it?" Qin Huaishan turned around and asked.

"Hu Ren is a wolf's ambition, and there is no good thing...... Zhang Mufeng said, and suddenly explained: "Except for Madame!" ”

"Go on!" Shi Min commanded.

"Yecheng, Handan, Neihuang, Anyang. These places are now in the hands of you, the general, and the safety of these cities is not only related to our safety, but also related to whether the general's great cause can be accomplished. Isn't that the same as luring a wolf into the house? ”

Shi Min nodded and said to Qin Huaishan, "Sir, I agree with Mu Feng's opinion. In our eyes, they are Hu people and are of a different race, but in their eyes, we Han people are also of a different race! Let the wolf go to the sheepfold, you can't look at it! ”

"But the Xihua Marquis Mansion originally didn't have a lot of troops, and now it's divided into many places, I'm afraid it's not a good thing! If the enemy attacks in large numbers, it is easy to be defeated by each one. ”

"Sir's right, but given the current situation, I'm afraid the Hu people won't start a war against us right away!"

"Please show me the general." Qin Huaishan saluted and said.

"The main thing that can pose a threat to us is Shi Jian, but now Shi Jian has just arrived in Xiangguo, and the soldiers and horses of Xiangguo plus those who are willing to serve him are indeed a big threat, but Shi Jian is in Liu Xian's place, and his ass is not hot yet, so I am afraid that he will not have time to seek revenge on us immediately. At this time, we did what we had to do, trained the soldiers and horses, and gathered the grain and grass. Battles with the Hu people are inevitable and must be prepared at all times! Judging from the current situation, as long as they don't come to the door, we won't do it first. ”

"What the young master said also makes sense."

"General, according to the last general's opinion, these Hu people in the city might as well be driven out of the city directly! These scum are not as good as beasts, what are they doing if they are kept? ”

"No!" Qin Huaishan objected again: "If you drive them out at this time, it will be a big chaos, and now is an eventful time, so it's better to endure it first." ”

"Mu Feng, don't worry, it's a matter of time before you drive them out of the plug! But now is not the time. Shi Min said to Zhang Mufeng.

"Young master, there is one more thing, the old man has made his own opinion, I want to tell you." Qin Huaishan said again.

"What?"

"Shi Yong and Wen Cang's family is small, and the old decay has already been sent to Yanmen Pass and handed over to Shi Yong."

"Sir, this matter is well arranged!" Shi Min praised: "Yanmen Pass is a key pass to stop the Hu people from going south, and with Shi Yong here, Xianbei and the Xiongnu have more fears." Stabilizing Shi Yong is always beneficial! ”

"The old man also thinks so, I heard that Shi Yong and the general have an old religion, and now we will return him and his brother's family to him safe and sound, and it can be regarded as selling a favor to him, so that Shi Yong can not be an enemy of us."

"I'm afraid that's not enough! It's best to write him a letter and tell him everything about the recent past! lest he hear any rumors and misunderstand me. ”

"Young master, rest assured, this letter has also been sent out for you!"

When Shi Min heard Qin Huaishan say this, he laughed and said, "Sir, you have the talent of Zhang Liang and the wisdom of Zhuge , with you, I can save a lot of worry!" ”

Qin Huaishan smiled and said, "The young master has won the award!" ”
