The arrival of the Wang sisters and their father Xie Sheng made Xie Shence feel the long-lost warmth in the terrifying cracks of the black clouds on the north and south sides.

The arrival of Wang Jiehua and Wang Qingyan gave him a certain degree of optimism about the situation in the northwest, and at the same time, Xie Xiang, who gradually revealed his unknown side, also made Xie Shence re-examine his father in more rest time.

Although he has long known that his father, who has a very low sense of existence in both the court and the opposition, is likely to be a giant who hides the attributes of the king, and belongs to the kind of character who will not show his strength until the last moment, and he has already made some psychological preparations, but when Xie Sheng analyzes the bits and pieces of Huaxia City to Xie Shence every evening, Xie Shence is still like a trained Mengtong, and he can only nod.

I still underestimate this daddy's energy.......

The servants took the lamp early, and Xie Shence, who had been tortured by Xie Sheng for a long time, was a little depressed, took a bowl of warm millet porridge handed over by Wang Jiehua, drank it in one go, and went to tease little Jasmine and teach her to read happily.

Little Jasmine was just able to walk, and she was just able to say sentences intermittently, thanking Shence for teaching her to read ancient texts, naturally it was not possible, and after a while, Xiao Jasmine, who was obviously not interested in the classics of Zhuzi, threw the crudely compiled book of poetry to the ground.

"It's so small, I can't speak clearly, how can I teach her to read, and it's all boys, no wonder she doesn't like ......"

"Then what to do, I don't like it anyway, even if I teach those poems, she won't be interested, it's better to let her dislike these ancients, so as to save some face for me. As for what she should learn as a girl in the future and what she likes to learn, when she has a judgment, she will naturally say. ”

The husband and wife talked for a while, and Wang Qingyan came over with He Ruoque's daughter Nianzu, teased Jasmine a few words about reading, and then asked the servant to take them to play elsewhere.

At this time, the three of them are opposite, the-for-tat when they were young is naturally gone, they have experienced the changes of the family and the change of situation, too much time has precipitated, and the undercurrent that there was in the first two years has also disappeared at this time.

It's just that the two of them are no longer angry, Xie Shence will not be caught in the middle and is not a person inside and out, but it is impossible to meet the source left and right, as for sleeping together, it may be hopeless in this life.

Of course, Xie Shence doesn't have this idea now.

"My sister-in-law didn't come with me after all...... In the past few days, I have discussed with my father the situation in the northwest, and perhaps it will not be too long, no matter what the situation of the war is, it will be half a year at the earliest, or two years at the latest, and the northwest will inevitably change. Jiang Qi can either endure it or is unwilling to endure it, and the trend of the situation in the northwest is now out of control. ”

However, my sister-in-law is still reluctant to leave the northwest. With Zhou Jinmian here, the eldest brother will not be able to move an inch, but I am a little worried in my heart after all......"

In this regard, Wang Jiehua and Wang Qingyan are also helpless. He Ruoque insisted on not leaving, and finally saw off the caravan when Nian Zu was asleep, not to mention the unlucky words that she reported her mortal heart and lived and died with Xie Shenwei, just sending her daughter away and staying by herself was not reassuring in itself.

However, it can't be persuaded, and the grassland woman's determination can't be changed by others, so Wang Jiehua and Wang Qingyan can only bring their ancestors over.

After being silent for a while, and changing to a slightly lighter topic, Wang Qingyan said: "The most urgent shortage now is grain and grass, and there is no food in Huaxia City, which is the biggest problem at the moment. I have already transferred 800,000 taels of silver from the northwest, but due to the shortage of materials, I can't buy ...... even if I have money."

"I talked with Mr. Zhang for a long time yesterday, and through the way of Huizhou merchants, I can indeed get some convenience, but transportation has become a big problem. Although the Hui merchants gradually gained momentum, they did not dare to touch certain taboos when the entire north was under martial law. ”

"What's more, Mr. Zhang did not go to the Huishang branch of Shandong Province before, and he also had a gap with some of the proprietors of Huishang, and Huishang was able to agree to walk beyond expectations, and it is impossible and .......unrealistic to ask for more."

Xie Shence shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said in his heart Where is this a change of easy topic, money can't buy things, this matter is not easier to solve than before.

Later, there were a series of things such as ordnance and war horses, and Xie Shence could only shake his head most of the time.

Only at this time, although his strength alone has a lot of help, but after all, it is much thinner, and only after Xie Shang came, and the subtleties gradually opened up the situation, which made him have a little respite.

Not long after, the servant woman outside came in to ask for instructions, saying that there was a girl outside who asked to see, Xie Shence asked who it was, and looked at the Wang sisters with some embarrassment.

"Miss Xiao Yu'er was specially persuaded by us, I was afraid that she would not want to, and I lied to her that she was going to Jindu, and she stayed here for a while, she knew something about it, Chinese medicine came to see you, and it was not good for you to hide all the time."

"Go, go, she must have been to me first, knowing that we were all here. The little girl is thin-skinned, she has some meaning to you and doesn't dare to really do anything, she came here at this time, she is also afraid of gossip, and she is sincere enough, so you can go and meet it. Wang Qingyan sent Xie Shence out like a fly. Xie Shence smiled bitterly, so he had to go out with the servant.

It's just that when he was about to leave the room, Wang Qingyan said again: "At most an hour, I will let Wang Po wait on the side." ”

"Huh...... Yes, yes, I'll be back as soon as possible. ”

Xie Shence can only smile bitterly.

When I went to the side hall, I saw the little Yu'er girl who had grown up completely. Although the dress is more shabby and simple than in Queqiao Immortal or even in the northwest, the cleanliness and lightness have come out. Xiao Yu'er saw Xie Shence, her cheeks were slightly red, and she was quite pleasing.

Xie Shence used enthusiastic language and an attitude of never taking more than half a step to talk to Xiao Yu'er about many things back then and now, and he was happy. The servant woman in the middle brought Nianzu and Jasmine over, and there was a lot of laughter in the side hall.

Time passed quickly, and when it was estimated that it was almost half an hour, Xie Shence was worried about how to speak, but Xiao Yu'er got up very naturally and said goodbye, saying that she would come to talk to the sisters of the Wang family again when she had time. Thank you for your gratitude and relief.

As the only fetter of Xiao Wang, the instructor of the former Erli, Xiao Yuer was the key bargaining chip that Xie Shence used to blackmail Xiao Wang. Now that Xie Shence and Xiao Wang have long been tied to each other, Xiao Yuer's safety is still the only bond between the two.

Xie Shence is very grateful to Wang Jiehua and Wang Qingyan for being able to bring Xiao Yu'er over. Sure enough, not long after, when Xie Shence got up to see Xiao Yu'er off and turned back to the side hall, Xiao Wang turned out of the darkness.

“...... Thank you. ”

After looking at Xie Shence for a long time, Xiao Wang finally held back these two words.

Xie Shence seemed to be surprised, patted Xiao Wang's shoulder and said with a smile: "But it scared me, I thought you were going to scold me, saying that I shouldn't have let Xiao Yu'er come to such a dangerous place." ”

Xiao Wang seemed to be very unaccustomed to being tapped on the shoulder like this to show closeness, the muscles on the back of his shoulders tightened slightly, and then said: "Everyone knows that since you are in danger, then your side is the safest." Yu'er is here, in fact, I am really relieved. ”

Autumn is getting deeper and deeper, about to pass, in the last few autumn days of the twelfth year of Zhenglong, Xie Shang used a series of means, and walked many channels that Xie Shence did not pay attention to when he was the commander of the Tiqi Division, and under Zhang Xiang's maneuvering, the first batch of materials transferred by Hui merchants from Lu'an Bozhou - grain and medicinal materials were finally transported into Huaxia City.

Xie Shence breathed a sigh of relief.

After receiving the affirmative answers from Xie Sheng and Zhang Xiang, it was determined that there would be more than two batches of grain and grass that would be transported over in a steady stream, Xie Shence really put his mind at ease.

This winter, I was finally able to get through it.

A few days later, the autumn completely passed, and on the first day of the winter of the twelfth year of Zhenglong, the Jin Emperor arrived in Jinan Mansion in person, and the real war finally broke out.

In the first month of winter, Xie Shence received intermittent news from the east, knowing that Murong Cheng had concentrated most of the elite on the north bank of Jinan Mansion, and Sima Bi had gathered 100,000 rebels to attack Linzi with all his might.

"It must be that I want to take Jinan Mansion in one go, so that I can gain the greatest advantage and crush the will to resist of the Great Jin Dynasty at one time. As for Sima Bi, the role of containment may be greater than the actual effect. ”

"I thought that at this time, I should take advantage of the emptiness of the Yan army to lay down two cities, and use the good as the basis for the future.......

"Don't act rashly at this time! They fought fiercely, and it was our right thing to rob while the fire was burning, but we were particular about when and where this knife was stabbed. I think that when you try not to destroy the balance of both sides, you can make a foolproof move an inch above the bottom line of both sides! ”

"The old man also has this intention, here to beat the Yan people, over there to ask for some money and food, to make a show, to make a statement, you can't not show it at this time, let go of this opportunity to make a fortune in a muffled voice......"

On the hall, more than a dozen people talked eloquently, either echoing or opposing, which was justified and extremely intense.

Xie Shence sat at the top of the table, with a huge map on his right, and a curtain on his left, in which there appeared to be a person in a wheelchair.

Xie Shence looked at the map intently, looking at the marks of the fighting between the two sides since January, thinking about the statistics of the previous casualties, and quickly calculating the advantages and disadvantages of the two sides in his heart, and he gradually fell into a trance.

Everyone argued for a long time, the grumpy Guo Fei and the very assertive old man Ximen quarreled until his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was almost about to roll up his sleeves and fight.

So everyone fell silent.

Some looked at the curtain, while many more finally focused their eyes on the curtain.

Naturally, it was not because the curtain was good-looking, but because I thought that there was a person sitting in a wheelchair behind the curtain.

It is this person who makes everyone worry about the food and medicinal materials problem before January, and it is no longer a problem.

It is also this person who may still have such trivial things, some small frictions, and some bad habits that may still exist before Huaxia City, and the entire city is new.

Of course, it was this person who talked to everyone present not long ago, and let people see his terrible and terrifying.

The people fell silent, not so much waiting for Xie Shence to speak, but for the man to speak.
