Chapter 13: A Long Walk on a Snowy Night
Drinking to warm up?
Xie An saw that Wang Xizhi's smile seemed to have changed into a different person, and he couldn't help but reach out and scratch the bridge of her nose, "Where did you learn it?" ”
"Secret. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Wang Xizhi was still holding a wine cup, Xie An went up to drink it all, seeing her thief look, I don't know where I went behind him to learn bad, a shallow smile can still bluff people, if you grin a little, you can see the sharp tiger teeth, this is the original Wang Xizhi.
"Where do you get so many secrets?" Xie An hid under her umbrella, and the two walked side by side for a few steps, Wang Xizhi suddenly stopped, looked up at him slightly, suddenly stood on tiptoe, and said in a daze: "Ah, when did you grow taller?" I haven't been in retreat this winter, and you and I see each other almost every day, so why are you taller than me? ”
Wang Xizhi's little face was lined with a circle of white fox fur like jade, his lips were smeared with rose-scented lipstick, his eyelashes were thick but he couldn't cover the surprise in his eyes, his cheeks were slightly red from the cold, Xie An saw her very close, and unconsciously he could look down at her, her face was slightly upturned, making people want to get close.
But Ajia's obnoxious creature stood at the gate of the courtyard, staring at the two of them in silence.
……
Xie An held her hand holding the umbrella, tilted the umbrella slightly to cover Ah Jia's gaze, only touched her forehead with his forehead, and then let go.
Wang Xizhi screamed in pain.
Xie An smiled: "Taller than you, I can bully you, say it quickly, why is the tone strange today." ”
Wang Xizhi puffed out his cheeks and said: "The eldest princess taught, she said that she wanted to be gentle and lovely recently, and asked me to follow and learn to scare you." ”
“…… You're fine, but if the eldest princess whispers, I don't dare to think about it. Xie An secretly scolded Sima Xingnan in his heart, how can he casually take my family's Ah Su, the women of the family have been cultivated to be gentle and humble since childhood, it is really boring, it is rare that these few people around them are not like that, it is not good to lose their nature.
Wang Xizhi saw the talisman in his hand, and his smile retracted, "This is Long Bo's Qilin Bronze Talisman, I haven't taken it out for a long time...... Be careful. ”
"Just send a bowl of wine?"
"Want a character?" Wang Xizhi thought for a moment, "If you use characters, it will be my credit, and Long Bo will definitely count you as not passing, this is a test." ”
Xie An smiled and shook her head, but she felt that she was still so dull and cute. Leaving the Wang family, he went back to his home and confessed that he was not at home for the past few days, and asked his sister and brothers to watch the children not run around.
The news of the looting of Yuhu County has quietly spread, causing panic among the people in the city.
Xie An went back to the room to change his clothes, and took off the sword hanging on the wall, which was a birthday gift from Xun Xian, the sword name was Gu Hong, which was the most powerful weapon at hand, the sword body was neat and straight, and there was a thin light like water.
Xie Lang secretly looked at him outside the door, and when he saw him draw his sword neatly, he couldn't help but say, "Uncle Tanuki, what are you going to do?" ”
"Do the same thing as Brother Shang." Xie An put away his sword and went out of the house, took his nephew's hand and said: "These **** practice calligraphy well in the study, don't forget to practice the method of "Huang Ting Jing", Brother Shang has official business, I have grown up, and I shouldn't stay here to covet comfort." ”
Xie Lang said unexpectedly well-behaved: "Uncle Tanuki was also protected by Uncle Shang like Hu'er back then?" ”
Xie An smiled: "Yes, you were still eating your fingers and gnawing my face at that time, aren't you grown up now?" You and I are not the same generation, but they are only three years apart, and when I am away, you have to protect them with your fourth uncle. ”
Xie Lang clenched his fists, "Uncle Tanuki, Hu'er will grow taller soon." ”
There is no need to worry about family affairs for the time being, and the ambition of his nephew is also gratifying, this family is now complete, Ah Xuan and Dao Yun have just been born, and the future of the Chen Jun Xie family is bright, and what he has to do now is to let this light be brought in advance.
Huan Wen had been waiting at the mouth of Wuyi Alley after receiving the red crow's message, chewing on the betel nut from Lingnan, Xie An laughed at him, "If you want to smile and take a big black tooth in the future, then I will never stop you." ”
"Eating this thing will be black? But after eating, it's like drinking wine, which is very exciting. "Huan Wen is reluctant to spit it out, it's freezing this day, and you can warm up after eating.
"Eating too much is not good for your teeth, not only will it be black, but your teeth will be loose in the future, do you want to be like this? The gambling addiction has not been quit, so don't add another addiction. ”
Huan Wen weighed it, but finally vomited. He has a scimitar at his waist, which is a tribute sent from Liaodong, and he can't put it down recently, and he can't wait to try the knife.
"Qilin Bronze Talisman, what's the use?" Huan Wen took the tassel of the copper talisman from Xie An's hand and played with it, only to hear Xie An say lightly, "From the officials below the sixth grade, when you see the copper talisman, you need to obey the deployment." ”
Huan Wen almost threw the bronze talisman back, "Is this thing really useful?" ”
"Do you remember that city patrol priest Liu Zhuang?" Xie An smiled, "Anyway, Su Jun hasn't come in yet, he is idle, let's deploy him, just to see if it's useful." ”
……
Huan Wen complained that it was really a loss to this city patrol division or Liu Zhuang, otherwise if you change the people of the Yu faction, you will definitely not give you this face, once the son of heaven and a courtier, what about the elders of the three dynasties, if Lord Situ has the right to transfer troops, it will not let Su Jun cross the river.
The matter of going to Liu Zhuang will be put aside for the time being, and now the two of them will first go to the royal residential area in the eastern suburbs to explore the direction of the wind.
It's hard to walk in the snow, but both of them are full of energy, if they could leave Jiankang City with the army, they would have done it a long time ago, but unfortunately they can only nest in the city now, and I don't know what Yu Liang has come up with to deal with it now.
As soon as they reached the gallop road, the two saw Yu Liang's subordinate Zhao Yin carrying the military flag of the Yu clan and leading a team of elites to step through the snow, and for a while the silent road was full of horses' hooves, almost shaking the ice condensed on the wall.
After inquiring, it was learned that Sima Yan issued an edict to enshrine Yu Liang as the governor of the expedition, and Yu Liang asked Zhao Yin to replace Su Jun and become the Taishou of Liyang, and immediately led the army to Guyu with the left general Sima Liu.
But at the same time, Yu Liang also rejected Wen Qiao and Xi Jian's idea of sending troops, saying that both of them were important border ministers of the country, and once they pulled out their troops and left, they were afraid that Shile would go south.
Just because of the two thieves, Yu Liang has the strength to deal with it, if the two Gu and the two are subdued, they will immediately block Su Jun's route to cross the river according to Kong Tan's previous plan.
Zhao Yin didn't even hunt down Sima Zong four years ago, Sima Liu is rumored to be a coward, and he has enjoyed happiness in Jiankang for many years, Yu Liang sent him to lead the troops instead of Sima Yu, which is really intriguing.
"Isn't it that Yu Liang is still thinking about Yin Sima at this time, right? Originally, the clan withered, and he sent a mediocre person to deal with the bandits who burned, killed, and plundered unequivocally," Xie An sneered, "Just so confident that Zhao Yin has the ability to fight two?" ”
Huan Wen said: "Don't worry about this, Yu Liang's approach, I think the few Sima Zongyu in the city you said can't stay anymore, by the way, do you want to capture Sima Yi first?" ”
"Now Sima Yi has no title, trapped in the mansion for reflection, he hasn't seen anyone for a long time, he hasn't shown his feet when Sima Zong rebelled, I'm afraid that this time it won't, if Su Jun can't come in, he'll be fine, if Su Jun comes in, he'll be fine. Because Su Jun hated Yu Liang. ”
Xie An's analysis was very organized, Huan Wen often felt that with him by his side, he hardly had to spend much brains, since his brains could be used less, then he should exert more effort.
After walking to the eastern suburbs for a while, Shen Jin, who had already been dispatched, returned along the road, and said to the two: "The eastern suburbs have been sent to keep an eye on them, once there is a change, they will naturally be notified, we will go back to Zhige first, anyway, it is near, let's live there these days, the spies came to report, there are a few princes in the Sima family There is some chaos in the palace this morning, and even the people who sent the carbon fire to sell are not available, it seems that nine times out of ten they are cleaning up and preparing to flee the city overnight." ”
Xie An of Linjiang's Zhizhi Pavilion has not set foot in the past few years, Huan Wen is more familiar with the road than him, a small shareholder, Xie An asked: "Is the top card still a small candle now?" ”
Huan Wen smiled: "How is it possible, naturally it is a different person, but our Lord Zhong Ya is more affectionate." ”
This time, the two went directly into the cabinet, and they didn't meet Director Wang's harem again, and they didn't have a place to rest.
"There is a branch again, so here it is done as a Yaju, there are many girls who are proficient in games and games, and the new museum is opened in Nanshi, even I have never been there, it is all in the wind."
Shen Jin didn't regard himself as the eldest young master who would inherit the family business in the future, if it weren't for Shen Linfeng's loyalty and change of heart, this industry would be swallowed sooner or later.
Xie An and Shen Jin are only in charge of the tea garden and the horse farm, and they are already too busy.
The military reports from the front came from time to time, saying that Zhao Yin and Sima Liu had already left the city, and Han Huang and Zhang Jian, who were in Guxiao, were indeed very smart, and they had plundered all the way to wait for work, and had already gone south to attack.
And Gu Xiao went south to Xuancheng, where Huan Yi was stationed.
Xie An hesitated again and again, and finally told the news to Huan Wen, who was playing with the girl, Huan Wen was silent for a long time, drank heavily, had nowhere to vent his worries, and carried a knife in the snow outside the courtyard, dancing against the river wind for a long time.
When Xie An looked again, only the branches and branches of the courtyard were scattered.
Huan Wen couldn't hold it back, sharpened his knife Huo Huo, "No, after arresting Sima's grandson, I have to go to Xuancheng!" ”
Worried about his father for the son of man, although Xie An wanted to stop him, he had nothing to say, Huan Wen was not a brute force, he was usually just too lazy to use his brain, but he was actually a person who was both brave and brave.
In the middle of the night, only the sound of ice and rain hitting the window could be heard, which made the people in the room even more unable to sleep, and the two of them sat in a corner, Huan Wen suddenly said in a dumb voice: "You said that Daddy will be fine, right?" ”
Xie An was stunned, and hurriedly said: "The defense of Xuancheng is not weak, and his subordinates should be able to ensure that Xuancheng is safe with capable generals and uncle's management over the years." ”
"Then I believe what you say." Huan Wen took a long breath, opened the door and went downstairs, thinking about it to pass the time, Xie An leaned against the candle to read a book, and I don't know what time it was, Huan Wen ran in, stuffed a few pastries into his hand, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Eat and go, I'm going to catch those turtle grandsons." ”
From grandson to turtle grandson, the status of this prince has also declined too quickly.
If the snow is good, this night is sleet, which is a full set off the current Su Jun rebellion, Jiankang is about to be stormy and miserable, and all the powerful ministers in Beijing will lose sleep tonight.
This time, it was Sima Xiu and Sima Xiong who left first, but unfortunately both of them had a small family to carry, so they divided into several ways, and the family members were behind, and the two of them were in front with Su Jun's gifts.
Sure enough, there is no Sima Yi, it seems that this person is still calm.
The two acted separately, Huan Wen and the spies continued to track the two princes of the Sima family on the road, and Xie An's little dragon girl was fast, so she went to the city patrol division first and asked them to guard the south gate.
Xie An and Shen Jin rushed all the way south in the face of the rain and snow, these two princes were captured, it was a credit, although they were all for the safety of the country, but the credit was counted, the Yu family didn't expect this trick, they could only be regarded as a mistake.
Liu Zhuang naturally came out with a black circle under his eyes, this city management is really aggrieved, and he has not been promoted for more than four years, just because Jiankang is too peaceful, and now he has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but once Su Jun's army comes in, his small city patrol division is not enough for those homeless barbarians.
When Liu Zhuang saw Xie An's face, he was already cold, and he immediately shivered.
Xiao Langjun has grown up, this snow, snow and rain freezing night, he came wearing a black poncho, with a sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes were cold, making people dare not look directly, especially, he also smiled.
This Xie Jiasaburo looks good when he laughs, and the whole city knows it, but this night's smile is strange and infiltrating, when Xie An took out the Qilin Bronze Talisman, Liu Zhuang trembled his teeth, "Langya...... Wang's unicorn bronze talisman? ”
Xie An smiled with satisfaction and exhaled a thin breath of white air, "It seems that the adults know, so you don't need me to say more." ”
"Don't say it, if it weren't for me and other old ministers, the average new official would have never seen it with his own eyes, Ruoyu, don't stare at San Lang, this is a bronze talisman is true." Liu Zhuang looked at his nephew and subordinate at Xie An with disgust, for fear that he would offend someone.
Xie An said: "Don't talk nonsense, please ask Captain Feng to lead the troops to capture the thief with me." ”
Liu Zhuang asked, "Where are the thieves?" We patrol the city every day! ”
Xie An smiled and said, "Is it a great achievement to catch the prince who defected to Su Jun's place?" Xie An wished the adults a bright future in advance. ”
……
At this time, even Feng Ruoyu thought that he had heard it wrong, and showed a shocked expression.
Xie An put his hand on the body of the sword and said with a smile: "What's so rare about catching the rebellious prince?" Didn't you catch it once four years ago? ”
Seeing the Qilin bronze talisman, there are some things that don't need to be asked, Liu Zhuang handed over a piece of paper, which stated the reason for Xie An's troop transfer, the copper talisman was stained with cinnabar, and a mark was left on the paper, which was the basic procedure.
During this period, the team of the City Patrol Division was ready to go, and Liu Zhuang was worried and excited, but he knew that with Xie An's reputation, he would definitely not lie, and this Situ Lord's bronze talisman was in Xie An's hand, and everyone knew that it was rare to be able to tie up with Lord Situ in the past, but it was much easier to pass Xie Jia Saburo.
No matter how prosperous this Yu clan is, as long as Wang Dao does not die for a day, the first gate valve is his Langya Wang clan, and the bronze talisman is the warrant of Langya Wang's clan, I am afraid that this Xie family Saburo will have a bright future in the future!
So Liu Zhuang privately repeated that Feng Ruoyu should take good care of Xie An's safety, and must not let him be injured, Feng Ruoyu listened like a wood, looked impatient, and said loudly: "Then let me and San Lang's guards go, he is arrogant and expensive, just stay here and wait for news!" ”
"Don't be nervous, it's just an exam." Xie An said indifferently, "The teacher asked me to go in person, if it is a substitute exam, I will be punished." ”
