In Xie Shence's 20 years of life -- in fact, strictly speaking, only 15 years -- such a leisurely life is really rare, and he has been busy with "embroidery" for most of the year, which is unimaginable before.

In September, Wang Jiehua was a little homesick, so Xie Shence put out the tens of thousands of chrysanthemums prepared in advance, so Yangzhou City was full of chrysanthemums.

One day in October, Xie Shence told Wang Xie Hua that he seemed to have gained a lot of weight, so the two of them hunted in Taihang Mountain for a month. Xie Shence's archery skills decreased slightly, so Wang Jiehua did not allow him to embroider, lest he hurt his eyes.

In November, Wang Jiehua said that she was a little bored, so the husband and wife visited several cities near Yangzhou City.

In December, the weather was cold, and the husband and wife finally stayed in the old house of the Xie family in Yangzhou City, and accompanied the old lady to eat sweet potatoes around the stove.

Thanks to Shence for the cross-stitch, this kind of thing doesn't sell well. Because the embroidery was rough, Wang Jiehua really laughed at it for a long time.

In the eleventh year of Zhenglong, in the first month, the Xie family rushed over from Kyoto, and many of the Xie family's protégés also came to the Xie family's old house in Yangzhou City for the first time.

For Gu Shunxing, the martial arts were postponed to this year for some reason, he was already a second-year martial arts student, and he was quite heavy on martial arts, so he needed to deal with a lot of things, and he went back after staying in Yangzhou City for a day.

Li Feiyu and Miss Li lived for several days, but because of Xie Shence's concubine, Miss Li targeted Xie Shence everywhere, and as a result, she was angry for several days.

The king of Qi and the crown prince also came. Zhao Xu left Beijing, and Wen Chong, the chief staff of the Qi Palace, was the upstart of the Qi Wang Party, and met with Xie Shence a few times, but he didn't find out anything.

Before Shangyuan, Wang Qingyan and Xu Luwei came on a trip for business reasons. worshiped the old lady, and it was also a formal meeting with the old lady, the old lady liked it very much, and gave the two of them a lot of things, Wang Qingyan and Xu Luwei were quite happy while being nervous. However, Xu Luwei finally rejected the old lady's statement that she wanted her to stay in Yangzhou City and give birth to a son. After Shangyuan, the two returned to the northwest with a large number of goods.

Xie Shence seems to have really concentrated on retreating. He hasn't been to the study for a long time, and there are people cleaning the study, Xie Laosan is not in Yangzhou City, and his study is not in Yangzhou City, except for Wang Jiehua's colorful clothes, he occasionally wants to sweep it, and sometimes he can accumulate dust.

After all, the Xie family's old house is old, and one day Xie Shence felt that the floating ash in the house was very serious, so it took a month of work to renovate it, and Xie Chengcai and several merchants in Yangzhou City were busy for a long time. Some merchants also wanted to get some novelties to make the old lady happy, and the old lady scolded him bitterly, but afterwards Xie Shence showed gratitude and comfort, which moved them for a long time.

In March, the light rain fell, during the Qingming Festival, Yangzhou City was almost overcrowded, the prince and the King of Qi, Li Tu and a large number of Xie officials also came, and the young people, such as Gu Shunxing and others, took a month's leave and came to sweep the tomb in advance, Uncle Xie and Xie Erye also came back from the Jin Emperor early, and the day before the Qingming Festival, General Li and General Mo were even more close, so that the people of Yangzhou City were shocked one after another.

Many dignitaries gathered in Yangzhou City, whether they were officials of the Xie family or not, they all put incense sticks in front of the old lady's tomb and expressed their filial piety to the old lady.

Except for a small number of people who came to see Xie Shence, many people came to pay their respects from the bottom of their hearts.

It's just that the day before the end of Qingming, a letter from Yan Guo made Yangzhou City fall into anger.

Yan Ren naturally did not mock and abuse, in fact, the Yan envoy and the letter expressed their attitude very deferentially. It's just that this kind of deference fell in the eyes of the people of Yangzhou City and the court officials who had not yet left, and it was naked irony and provocation.

But after all, it was under the control of the Xie family, and things like beating people and knocking on boring bricks did not happen in the end.

Xie Shence sent away the envoy of Yan Kingdom, but when he returned home, he couldn't figure it out.

Why did the man look at himself so sadly?

What Xie Shence didn't know was that on this day, thousands of miles away in the suburbs of Yanjing, a tall woman, wearing Han clothes, sat on a hill for a whole day. She was the only one on the entire mountain, and below the mountain were hundreds of swimming fish and thousands of Yan Kingdom Imperial Forest Army.

"Life is like a dream, how do you know, maybe you've forgotten me now."

Murong sat on the mountain bag, holding the wine jug in his hand, raised his head and poured a big sip, forcibly endured the bitterness, and swallowed it all in one gulp.

"Throat cutter"

There was a commotion from the bottom of the mountain, Murong Duan frowned slightly, and casually put on a silver mask, only to find that it was Murong Cheng who came up in scattered clothes, followed by a group of people who were also scattered in clothes and blood.

"Auntie! These people are rude, and the nephew has taught them a lesson."

"Go down!"

"Uh, Auntie"

Murong Duan didn't speak, and he didn't even look at Murong Cheng. Murong Cheng stood for a moment, then bowed his head and left.

was made such a fuss, and Murong Duan's interest was gone. So she went down the mountain, and soon after, there was a bloody storm in Yanjing.

Xie Shence didn't know this, but in April, he finally had troubles, no, anger.

It all started with being a father.

The body's reaction should not always be pushed by discomfort.

Xie Shence has invited many doctors to the banquet in the past two months, and these doctors have also been persuaded or threatened by Wang Jiehua not to tell her about her pregnancy, but Xie Shence himself also has medical skills, so he concealed it for a month or two, but he couldn't hide it for the third month.

Xie Shence was angry, very angry.

Mr. Yang finally deceived him. Only now did he know what Mr. Yang meant when he said don't regret it.

If it was before, Xie Shence might have arrested Mr. Yang back immediately, but looking at Wang Jiehua's shyness after the facts he had worked so hard to conceal were made public, Xie Shence had no such thoughts.

"When I don't know? You have to hide everything from me, and you want to make up your mind for me, and it's not those stupid women, why can't I make my own mind? ”

Wang Jiehua said this to Xie Shence in anger, and Xie Shence hung his head.

"Don't talk about dying early, if you don't have children, then you have to die early! Wake up early and be born early! ”

Thank God for wanting to speak.

After being noisy like this by Wang Jiehua for several days, Xie Shence finally dissipated his anger and became full of guilt, so he began to make amends.

Pregnancy was originally a great joy, but the Xie family's old house was not particularly happy, just a dull day.

Xie Shence was silent, and it took a lot of effort to persuade the old lady to keep a low profile, but he even hid Xie Shang.

The Xie family seemed to be unfazed.

The Admiral, as always, is willing to spend thousands of dollars for the first beauty of the Great Jin Dynasty, and often travels, and the people of Yangzhou City can often see them, so the fairy couple, the couple with the highest appearance in the Great Jin Dynasty, has become the pride of the people of Yangzhou City.

After the rainy season, Xie Shence and Wang Jiehua gave porridge outside the city, and also used the family reserve to connect with Jeju County.

The people of Jindu have not heard the four words of the Admiral for a long time! So some good people talked about it, but the focus of people's attention was not on Xie Shence, the first beauty of the Great Jin Dynasty finally fell to the third lady of the Wang family, which made the people of Jindu very lively for a few days.

It is not excluded that some people will also sigh when they mention Xie Shence. rose like a comet, and quickly faded out of people's field of vision, and fate was a little impermanent.

Once prosperous, it attracted thousands of empty alleys in Jindu, and the young Admiral was finally gone. This is probably how the people of Jindu feel about Xie Shence.

In the past two years, under the leadership of Zhou Jinmian, the Ti Cavalry Division has maintained the status quo, this Admiral who is not a Admiral, most of the time he is an invisible existence, and only in the very important people should listen to him.

Compared with Xie Shence, Zhou Jinmian is more low-key, but he has entered and exited the palace significantly more.

Zhou Jinmian ignored Xie Shence, which caused some people's disgust. Zhuo 14, Mao Xiaosan and other upstarts and Wushan and other veteran knights are very dissatisfied with Zhou Jinmian's attitude.

However, no matter how dissatisfied they are, it is impossible to say or express it, because they may not know Zhou Jinmian better than Xie Shence, but they know Zhou Jinmian's methods better.

Many of the bloody cases raised by Xie Shence have the shadow of Zhou Jinmian behind them. And earlier, during the Wei Liao period, Zhou Jinmian planned a lot of major events that were enough to scare people to death.

Zhou Jinmian didn't care that his subordinates had this kind of thought, although he ignored Xie Shence, many decisions basically followed Xie Shence's policy. Only after the general environment changes, make absolutely appropriate adjustments. This is also the reason why many people are still conscientious despite being dissatisfied.

Thank you for being very popular.

This is a common occurrence within the Tikon Division, as well as locally.

The past few years that Xie Shence served as the commander of the Tiqi Division were the most proud years of Ticai. Changing from the fierce and ruthless of Wei Liao in previous years, Tiqi has become daring to appear in the sun in recent years, and his image is more positive.

Changed the tide of the war, defeated the enemy organization, broke the killer organization several times, and uprooted a large number of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the people of Jin no longer regarded Tiqi as poisonous insects and beasts, and the Jin people no longer rumored that Tiqi was a demon who ate human flesh and drank human blood.

No one will reject the reverence of others for themselves, and these good emotions are only after Xie Shence came, so people naturally like Xie Shence and support Xie Shence.

What's more, the reorganized Tiqi Division is more conducive to newcomers, so more people like to thank Shence.

Zhou Jinmian had no intention of changing this situation, so he continued the policy that Xie Shence had drawn up at the time, and also reused some of the people promoted by Xie Shence.

The internal affairs of the Tiqi Division will always be known only by Tiqi himself.

Although Zhou Jinmian has not changed any of Xie Shence's regulations, many people know that Xie Shence really can't come back.

debuted in a desperate manner, but in the end it was silently stepped down, which is difficult to understand for many people who have followed Xie Shence for five years.

So soon after, at the end of the eleventh year of Zhenglong, some of the famous Tiqi Divisions who were originally in high positions in the Jin capital began to be decentralized.

Shandong Road, Shanxi Road, Hubei Road are everywhere.

The transfer of the Ti Qi Division affected the court, so the officials of the Xie family were in an even more difficult situation.

At the beginning of the twelfth year of Zhenglong, many people came to Xie's house again, but this time, there were many fewer people than the last time.

Gu Shunxing and others came over as usual, talked about martial arts and martial arts, and mentioned Lin Shangshu's daughter Lin Wu'er to visit relatives in Jindu and brought a very cute child.

Xie Shence sighed, and then Gu Shunxing said that Princess Jinyang was going to go to the Tiemen Pass of Guanwai Dao after Shangyuan.

So Xie Shence sighed again.

"Sir seems to be in good spirits." Gu Shunxing said uncertainly.

Xie Shence smiled and said: "The heart is wide and the body is fat, in the past two years in Yangzhou City, I have lived comfortably, those thoughts have faded, I don't feel tired, and my spirit is naturally better." ”

Wang Jiehua successfully gave birth to a daughter at the end of the year, which made several people who knew about the Xie family's old house extremely happy. Because Xie Shence strictly ordered not to make a noise, everyone's happiness became a New Year's celebration. And because the child is in good health, there is no family genetic disease that Xie Shence is worried about, so he is even more happy.

Wang Jiehua gave birth to a daughter, and very few people knew about it, except for Xiao Yu'er and Xiao Ye'er, no one knew about it.

Gu Shunxing was a little puzzled, but since Xie Shence said so, he didn't ask anymore, so he went down with doubts

On the Xianbei grassland, a man with a big gun in his hand fled frantically with twelve cavalrymen, throwing away all unnecessary armor and equipment, and He Ruoque only wore a heart guard behind the palace.

"General, you go first! Let's be the queen of our palace! ”

One of the adjutant shouted, then lowered his horse's speed.

However, He Ruoque didn't talk nonsense to him, and the gun slammed into the horse's buttocks, and then the horse rushed forward frantically.

He Ruoque lifted the reins, turned around with the war horse under his crotch, and then galloped away in the opposite direction.

"General"

The Twelve Cavalry couldn't stop it, so they could only move forward quickly, trying to send the news back to the He Lou Department earlier.

They were ordered to reconnoiter Tuoba Xianbei's military movements, but they were ambushed by the Tuoba Division, and after a fierce battle, only a dozen of the fifty rangers remained. At this time, there were more than 20 Xianbei cavalry behind them.

It was Tuoba Yanqing's Beast Eater Army.

Tuoba Yanqing personally pursued, and he had the momentum of not giving up until he killed them.

This momentum made this ranger very puzzled, it stands to reason that beyond the range of fifty miles, the enemy army will not pursue, but the beast devouring army has been chasing for more than two hundred miles, and it is still in hot pursuit.

The Rangers didn't understand, but He Ruoque did.

Because he is one of the rangers, and the enemy is the Beast Eater.

He fought Yanqing.

So Yanqing wants revenge.

He Ruoque stopped, poured a pot of cold water on his head, and then galloped his horse. During the gallop, the water on the hair and horsehair quickly formed into ice.

More than twenty cavalrymen had already appeared in front of him, and there were goshawks flapping their wings in the sky, He Ruoque sneered, hung up the big gun, and then bent his bow and arrows.

Two three-edged arrows broke through the air, and the two oncoming horsemen of less than 300 paces fell off their horses. Later, He Ruoque's side was also baptized by the rain of arrows.

Dodging the rain of arrows and being careful not to let the war horse get hurt, He Ruoque waved his big gun and killed the cavalry on the opposite side.

After the half-pillar of incense, He Ruoque lay on the ground, feeling the flow of strength and blood, slowly got up, searched for food from those dead beast devourers, ate quickly, and then changed a pair of boots, led two war horses, rode up, and the next moment, he ran away desperately.

An hour later, Yanqing rushed to the battlefield here with hundreds of beast devouring troops, looking at the corpses in one place, and was furious.

"Sixty people chased and killed a dozen people in our own territory, and they were all killed without killing him, and the centurion came to see him!"

Soon after, the three hundred devourers roared away.

He Ruoque felt the killing intent behind him.

The goshawk in the sky had already locked on him, because he flew high, He Ruoque couldn't shoot down, and because he had fled for hundreds of miles, he was exhausted.

There were still seven or eight three-edged arrows in the quiver, and He Ruoque woke up again with cold water, then changed his horse and continued south.

He is still more than 100 miles away from He Loubu, as long as he persists, he can still go back.

Xie Shenwei picked up the seriously injured He Ruoque in the king tent of the He Lou Department, and then led five hundred cavalry to kill the three hundred beast devourers who came to chase and kill, and by the way, cut off two centurions' heads. Of course, the cavalry of the king of the Helou Department also suffered a lot of losses.

A young man named Jiang Ruoyu walked in and saw that Xie Shenwei was bandaging his wounds, so he said, "The people from the He Lou Department are negotiating with Yanqing, but there is little hope, and they may still fight." ”

Jiang Ruoxu is Jiang Qi's son and is also an excellent ranger.

"If you can't fight, the Yuwen Department will contain it, and the Tuoba Department will not let the He Lou Department also participate in the war, at most it will be compensation."

Jiang Ruoxu frowned and said, "It's cheap Yanqing." ”

Xie Shenwei thought for a while and said, "You can earn it back." ”

Jiang Ruo was stunned for a moment, then understood, and said with a smile: "Miss Wang, it's really amazing."

Dead people are common on the grassland, and it is implicit to describe life as thinner than paper. Because on the grassland, the paper that can be used is extremely noble, and a piece of paper, if it is a familiar Xuan of the Jin Kingdom, can be worth three good horses.

Three good horses are much more precious than human life.

Yanqing lowered his head, looked at the compensation offered by the people of He Lou, and was silent.

His Beast Eater army suffered heavy losses in the confrontation with the eight tribes of the Yuwen Tribe, and in order to replenish his troops to maintain his position as the second prince, he needed a lot of money, but at this time, it was impossible for the people of the Tuoba Department to help him.

If you don't fall into the well, Shi Yanqing thinks that those brothers are very kind.

More than 300 people died, 20,000 taels of silver, and this money was very important to Yanqing.

Of course, he wanted more, but the bottom line of He Lou's department was here, and the two sides were deadlocked for a day, and now he was thinking about whether to accept it.

Yanqing is not stupid, he knows that if he uses force to solve the problem at this time and let He Loubu participate in the war, his father will definitely screw off his head with his own hands.

However, if he does not accept it, how can he explain it to the tribesmen?

"It's a shame"

Thinking so, Yanqing smiled and pressed a handprint on the sheepskin.
