Xie Shence poured a bowl full of medicine into his stomach, and ate several sugars one after another, and it took a long time to melt away the bitter taste.

Wang Jiehua said: "Mr. Yang's prescription has been improved, and the medicinal materials I bought last time were wasted. ”

"Sell it, it's useless to stay at home."

"I feel a lot better, I guess it will be better in a while."

Xie Shence nodded, and then said, "Then you can't give up halfway, you have to continue to take the medicine you should take." Well, can't stop. ”

Wang Jiehua felt a little weird, but she still agreed.

"What else does Uncle have in mind?"

"It's nothing more than unwillingness or something, and I can't think of any other purpose for him."

"Isn't this embarrassing to Your Majesty?"

"What's not to be embarrassed about? His Majesty just wants someone who can share his worries, and whether this person is willing or not is not His Majesty's business, but this person's business. So it's not a matter of embarrassment or displeasure, but of happiness and displeasure. ”

Wang Jiehua thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty will be unhappy that he has lost control of a courtier, and thinks that he is challenging his authority?" ”

"That's inevitable. Especially when His Majesty needs it. ”

Xie Shence continued: "So, if Your Majesty approves the uncle's request, then the uncle must have paid a considerable price. And this price, I think, if it is not a great harm to my Xie family, it is a great benefit to Your Majesty. ”

Wang Jiehua exclaimed: "You mean that the uncle has taken refuge in His Majesty?" ”

Xie Shence shook his head and corrected: "The word refuge is inaccurate. Because not only the uncle, but all the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty are His Majesty's people, but these people are not unified in their minds. However, even if it is not unified, it will not be able to resist His Majesty's will, so His Majesty should be unhappy about this matter. ”

"Of course, Uncle will not be punished, because after all, this is an excellent excuse, and Your Majesty will not be so unlucky."

Wang Jiehua was thoughtful, and then said, "There is one more thing to ask you." ”

"You say."

"Who is the girl from Taihu Tower?"

"Which girl?"

"Taihu Tower."

Xie Shence's eyelids moved slightly, and then said: "We are in Chuzhou City, Taihu Tower is in Wuxi, you said Miss Murong." ”

"Who is Miss Murong?"

"A businessman, I helped her a little when I was outside Wuxi."

"Just a small favor?"

"Isn't that so?" Xie Shence omitted some points about his acquaintance with Miss Murong and what happened after that.

Wang Jiehua was skeptical, and then skipped the matter.

Xie Shence was already sweating behind him.

Needless to say, this matter must have been told to Wang Jiehua by Wang Kui.

The prince did not stay long in Huaiyang Road, and left three days later. Wang Zhen took the officials of Huaiyang Dao, and Wang Ding saw off the generals of the Huai Army.

Xie Shence said goodbye to the old Zen master on Langya Mountain on the first day, and when he was leaving, the senior brother handed Cao Guan to him and asked him to arrange a place for Cao Guan, and finally Xie Shence agreed to send Cao Guan to the Northwest Army for training.

Wang Jiehua parted from her parents, her eyes were a little red and swollen, and she was in a depressed mood when she was sitting in the car at this time.

He glanced in the direction of Wang Ding, exchanged glances, and then got on his horse and went forward.

It is not easy for a married woman to return to her parents' home, and the Jin capital is very far away from Chuzhou, if it weren't for the death of Lao Shangshu, Wang Jiehua would probably not be able to return to her parents' home once in ten years.

Twenty days later, the crown prince returned to Beijing, and Xie Shence returned to Weihou Mansion.

When he returned home, Xie Shence wrote a letter to the old lady, recounting in detail everything that happened in Huaiyang Road, and then asked a few questions for answers.

The old lady replied to a letter a few days later, only saying a few simple words, and Xie Shence felt at ease when he saw it.

The old lady's guidance was very simple, that is, to let Xie Shence focus on the key points.

In other words, the old lady thought that the focus of Xie Shence was not on Huaiyang Road, but in the northwest.

Xie Shence quickly understood what the old lady meant.

The so-called key point is to grasp the key points, not to waste time on unnecessary things, and to accumulate strength to develop its own forces.

The northwest is the future base planned by Xie Shence, once the Xie family can control the northwest, even if Emperor Jin wants to attack the Xie family, he will have to weigh it.

Sima Bi is a good example.

It's just that Xie Shence still can't let go of those huge profits, and he is also angry about Wang Zhen's betrayal.

can't let go, in fact, it doesn't have much to do with the mind. It's still a vision pattern.

Xie Shence understands very well that with his current mind, it is still difficult to achieve the realm of "losing ten cities without losing one person and I without damage".

The old lady said a long time ago that he should look farther, and it is not that Xie Shence can't do it, but he is not mature. For some things, he still cares, and for some people, he can't really take them lightly.

Having calm in every big event is something he has been learning and doing well, but there is still a long way to go before he can completely control his anger

The clouds were thick as if they were about to crush the ground, and the cold wind cut through the turf like a knife, and then swept into the air, whistling towards the human settlement.

Low, gray cowhide tents are scattered behind a slope, each surrounded by huge stones to prevent the tent from being blown over by the wind.

A large man stooped into a tent, his pigtailed hair and beard blown up by the wind, and waited until he pressed the tent door against it.

"Prince, it is estimated that the snowstorm is coming, and we don't have much food, so if we continue like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to complete the task."

There was a small oil lamp the size of a bean in the dim tent, and a young man who was still immature was looking at a map, and when he heard this, he said, "We still have two hundred miles to reach the nearest pasture of the Xianbei people, and once we get there, we can get cattle and sheep, liquor, and even women." ”

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "The Qin people are not things, let us sneak attack the Xianbei Royal Court at this time, we want us to die for them!" Prince, I have to say what I said before! Let's go! Not going back! Once he is gone, after twenty years, the prince will naturally be able to rely on his own strength to kill back! Why rely on the Qin people! ”

The little prince raised his face, and then looked at the big man with a rough face with a dim oil lamp, and said: "Uncle Daxi, it's not so simple, like the Qin people said, even if we escape to the grassland, we won't live long, only by relying on them Qin people, can we survive, we can't go." Not to mention that there are few of us, even if there are enough people, without the Tianshan Mountains, we are still lonely ghosts. Uncle Daxi, wait for the snowstorm to pass, let the tribesmen hold on for a few days, there are not many people in that tribe, we will get through. ”

Da Xi looked at the young man's face, gritted his teeth, and finally sighed, lifted the curtain and went out.

The boy carefully protected the oil lamp from being blown out by the wind and continued to check the map.

This young man is the son of the leader of the Xi people, Zhan Dashan.

At this time, he was leading two hundred Xi people to ride the wolf tent and rush thousands of miles to attack the grasslands of the Xianbei people.

However, due to the unusual weather, they were unexpectedly hit by a snowstorm and ran out of food. But they can only wait.

Three days later, the blizzard stopped.

The wolf rider of the Xi people hit the road again, but the original team of two hundred people, this time there were only one hundred and eighty people left.

The remaining twenty people were all left in the snow forever.

Riding on his horse, Zhan Dashan glanced back at the sandbags with black flags, clamped and tightened the horse's belly, and continued to move forward.

Two days later, one of the southwestern pastures of the Xianbei people was attacked by horse thieves, and all the warriors of that small tribe were killed, and the rest of the men, women, old people, and children were all enslaved.

Da Xi suggested: "Prince, those old men and women will only waste food, if you don't kill them, please let them go." ”

At this time, letting go of the old and weak women and children is actually killing them in disguise.

And on the way back, many people have died.

Zhan Dashan shook his head and said, "There are still more than four hundred miles to reach the tribe. Just bring back half of them, and it's a victory. Old people can't fight, but they can weave nets, they can make tools, they can build tents, and they can also play a role as long as they are given certain benefits. ”

"Now we have few people, and the total number of loots during this period of time is only a thousand, and our strength is too weak. So as long as it's human, it's all useful to us right now. They are my property and I will not leave them behind. ”

Da Xi then stopped talking.

The once extremely powerful Xi royal family is now only a little prince left. The wolf riders of the king's tent, which were once so strong that they had no enemies, had less than four hundred men left. As for the taunting iron cavalry that used to be small in number but the most powerful in the world, it is no longer theirs.

And they who fell into the land of the Qin people had to rely on the snort of people and shed blood for the foreign race in exchange for the conditions of survival.

Finally, half a month before the Han New Year, Zhan Dashan led 170 wolves back to their place of residence, accompanied by 100 horses, nearly 1,500 cattle and sheep, and nearly 100 slaves.

Of course, the slaves are now young and strong

Xie Shenwei practiced knives on the snow, chopping horses, knives like tigers, rolling up the snowflakes on the snow, whistling and spreading around, on the threshold in the distance, there was a mother and daughter, wearing white cotton clothes, the front was snowy, and the back was a rough building, which was very quiet and beautiful.

"Mother, daddy is good-looking."

The little girl said with a cold red face.

He Ruoque held her little hand in her hand and said with a smile: "Yesterday you also said that your uncle is good-looking, so do you like your uncle more or your father more?" ”

The little girl was asked, thought for a long time, and said, "Daddy." ”

He Ruoque was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Why?" ”

The little girl said: "Because my mother was not happy when my uncle was there, only when my father came to my mother's parents would laugh often." That's why I prefer Daddy. ”

He Ruoque smiled: "My mother won't tell your uncle this." ”

The little girl was embarrassed and said, "But I also like my uncle, my mother must not say it, my uncle said yesterday that he would give me a foal during the New Year." ”

He Ruoque smiled, glanced at Xie Shenwei who collected the knife, and said, "Take your father back." ”

So the little girl slowly descended the steps, and then ran hard in the knee-deep snow on her short legs, shouting as she ran, "Daddy, Daddy." ”

Xie Shenwei smiled on his face like an iceberg, and kept saying, "Slow down, don't fall." ”

He Ruoque, who was standing on the steps, looked at this scene, smiling slightly, with a faint flush on his face.

And around the corner not far away, a slender man led a red foal, looked at this scene, slowly turned around, and walked away with his head down.

(PS: Chapter 2!) I can't do it all the time, but it will break out from time to time! Come on!

I really like He Ruoque's loneliness...... ）
