The holy decree sent to Cangzhou in an urgent manner for 800 li finally responded, and a handwritten letter from Sima Bi was sent back to the imperial capital, and at noon on February 29, it was placed in the imperial study of Emperor Jin.

By February, the Northern Army had regained all of its territory, and in the course of pursuing the Yan army, it had captured a large amount of grain, horses, cattle and sheep, as well as countless other burdens.

The war in the north has basically ended, and the crown prince is ready to return to the south.

And on the day of February 24, an 800-mile urgent decree from the capital of Jin arrived at the camp in Cangzhou, to the general's mansion, and to Sima Bi's bookcase.

After the crown prince was placed under house arrest, the northern army began to shrink, and then a series of adjustments were made.

After that, Sima Bi prepared to go south.

The letter placed on Emperor Jin's desk was only one line.

"Fu Wei Sheng, the minister Sima Bi will go south on the same day."

This letter made Emperor Jin breathe a sigh of relief.

Sima Bi wants to be in the capital, it's really good.

Otherwise, it is likely to be a civil war.

If the civil war ...... It is likely that the crown prince will die, and then the northern province of the Great Jin River will split out, and then the Yan people will go south, and then the Qin people will ......

Without thinking too much, Emperor Jin knew that he was likely to be the last emperor of the Tian family.

Sima Bi's letter made Emperor Jin let go of his long-standing heart. After feeling a little lucky, Emperor Jin felt some inexplicable gratitude.

So that night, Emperor Jin went to the queen mother's Yongchun. Gong, apologized to the queen mother (of course, when there were only two people), and obtained the queen's forgiveness, and then the two reconciled as before.

This matter stabilized, so on the first day of the first month of March, Xie Shence and the Xie family went north together and returned to the ancestral land of the Xie family to worship their ancestors.

Xie Shence arrived at Yangzhou City, the ancestral land of the Xie family, on the fourth day of the first month of March. I stayed in the ancestral house that night.

Yangzhou City is the ancestral land of the Xie family and the fief of the Xie family. After the old lady Fu Zhishi, the Jin Emperor decreed, in order to highlight the achievements of the old lady in recent decades, so the city of Yangzhou was given to the Xie family for the old lady to live for the rest of his life.

Emperor Jin's holy decree, according to the actual situation, is just the icing on the cake, because Yangzhou City has actually been equivalent to the Xie family for a long time. The Xie family is the surname of Yangzhou City, nearly half of the population is surnamed Xie, except for taxes, all other affairs are controlled by the Xie family. Now the history of Yangzhou City is a distant branch of the Xie family.

The old lady's return to her hometown to worship her ancestors was a major event in Yangzhou City, and Yangzhou City was in a sea of celebration that night.

Xie Shence came to the famous night market in Yangzhou City with colorful clothes and casual clothes, and strolled around.

found a relatively clean storefront, Xie Shence and Caiyi went to the second floor to sit down, and then let Xiao Er casually serve a few special snacks, and when the food was on the table, Xie Shence and Caiyi ate slowly, while eating, while listening to the people around them.

The nearest table is four middle-aged people, it seems that they are rich businessmen, and the table of wine and food ordered is more than ten times more expensive than Xie Shence's table, which should be regarded as the most luxurious on the second floor, so he speaks loudly and looks satisfied.

Caiyi heard their loud comments on the so-and-so Oiran of Yangzhou City, wrinkled her nose, and subconsciously bit the food in the bowl and pushed a little harder.

Xie Shence looked at her appearance, smiled lightly, and continued to listen to them talk about their "elegant things" with relish.

Soon, the topic of several people returned to the Xie family.

One person said: "If you want to talk about the characteristics of my Yangzhou City, in fact, it is not what scenery and food you say, but people!" Who? Of course, the Xie family! It's all Lao Yangzhou, you have to admit it! ”

A rich man next to him said, "That's it! That's true! My Yangzhou is not as rich as Suzhou, and I can't have an army in Cangzhou, but I have people in Yangzhou! Count, how many big names have come out of the Xie family in the dynasty alone? The door is full of vermilion! Not to mention the old lady and the second master, it is the horse and the admiral, and they are also the best people in the Great Jin! ”

When they said this, a thin middle-aged man sitting on the main seat closed his eyes slightly, shook his head and smiled.

Seeing this, one of the next people immediately said: "Brother Xie is also the Xie family, looking at Brother Xie's expression, he will definitely get the face of all the adults, and let us all listen to it when I say it, so that we can be blessed." ”

The other two immediately complimented them, asking the middle-aged people to talk about the richness of the big names of the Xie family, and to admire them.

The middle-aged man's wealth may not be the most among the four, but his current status is the highest, hearing this, he straightened his sleeves slightly, then smiled faintly, and then said slowly: "Brother Fool is just a remote side branch in my Xie family, it is nothing, but today, I am fortunate to see Taifu and his old man." ”

The middle-aged man paused slightly, then clasped his hands into fists, arched slightly to the left, and his eyes were ethereal, as if he was immersed in it.

The people next to him looked at him, and subconsciously clenched their fists and bowed their hands, and nodded slightly, as if they were infected, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

"Taifu, his old man is in good spirits, he deserves to be the emperor of the two dynasties, a foolish brother...... Hehe, to be honest, although the foolish brother is thin and talented, but at this time, if he wants to learn everything, he can't show half the charm of the old man. Let the three virtuous brothers laugh, ashamed and ashamed......"

After speaking, he also covered his face with his hands and made a faceless appearance.

The three people at the table immediately comforted, saying that although the elder brother did not say that we had already seen him, Taifu was already non-verbal, and his brother was also very good at learning, etc.

Xie Shence almost laughed out loud when he heard this and saw this, this guy really has a set of sycophants, maybe it is higher than the Taoism of the three jumpers.

The man said: "Although I can't describe the case of the old man, but the foolish brother can talk to you about the second master and the ......."

So the three of them listened while shouting and honoring, as if they were there.

At the end, one of them had no finished taste and asked, "I don't know ...... the colt and the admiral."

Before the man finished speaking, the middle-aged man put the chopsticks on the table in displeasure and snorted.

The three of them were a little stunned, not knowing what the sudden change of face of the middle-aged man meant. So one of them asked cautiously, "Brother, what do you mean?" ”

The middle-aged man glanced at the three of them, took a breath out of his nose, picked up his chopsticks and knocked on the table, and then said: "What kind of horse and admiral, it's the prince and the little marquis!" ”

The three of them came back to their senses, so they slapped again, and the person who asked him also pretended to slap his mouth and punished himself.

When Xie Shence saw this, he finally couldn't help it, and laughed while holding his stomach.

"Hahaha...... "This sycophant is filmed, for fear that others will not know his surname Xie, and he is still the son of the world, and he is still the little marquis...... It's the warmest and most smelly sycophant I've ever heard.

Caiyi couldn't help laughing, and the two laughed at the table.

This smile, especially Xie Shence's smile, immediately became strange in the atmosphere on the second floor.

Almost all of them looked at this side, and the four people, especially the middle-aged man surnamed Xie, looked at this side with a deep displeasure in their eyes.

Since you are displeased, you have to show it.

There are really not many people in Yangzhou City who dare to lose his face. Needless to say in business, relying on the name of the Xie family, except for a few who don't want to provoke, no one dares to pull his face in person. Within the Xie family, because he has a very high backup, he is now the fourth generation of the Xie family, so no one in the family dares to commit a crime by relying on his seniority.

However, today, what was supposed to be a happy display has been destroyed by life.

He is plastering gold on his face, relying on the banner of the Xie family, but he is also the Xie family after all, isn't he? And he's not a person who is idle and doesn't accomplish anything, what's there to pat his family's ass? Who would dare to stand up and say that he was not right? Who would dare to say that he is a sycophant? The entire Yangzhou City belongs to the Xie family, who is he Xie Chengcai afraid of?

But...... There are really people who don't give face tonight.

He showed the attitude that the horse is not a horse but a prince, and the admiral is not the admiral but the little marquis, just to highlight himself: My surname is Xie, I am the Xie family! They're awesome, and so am I!

Xie Cheng knew that others would slander and ridicule in his heart, but he didn't care - I just like to see you don't like me, but I have to show that I like me, don't you like it? You don't like what you say? You say you try!

So some people really said it, but it was not to say, it was to laugh, but it was more direct and effective than to say.

So Xie Chengcai walked over directly, came to Xie Shence and Caiyi, snorted coldly a few times, and then pinched his throat and said, "Two, why are you laughing?" ”

Xie Shence raised his head when he heard the voice, and saw the middle-aged man standing in front of him, so he held back a smile and said, "It's okay, don't care about your business, you go on, hahaha......"

Before he finished speaking, Xie Shence couldn't help but laugh again.

The middle-aged man put his hands behind his back, looked at Xie Shence condescendingly and said: "This son, listening to your accent, it vaguely looks like a Huaiyang Daoist, you are in my Yangzhou City, do you have any opinion on what the old man Shicai said?" If there is, I hope to say and give advice. ”

Thank you, this guy is not just a sycophant, I can tell from Admiral's words that I have stayed in Huaiyang Dao, but I am really not a complete waste.

"Where, old man, the late life just suddenly thought of a joke, and I couldn't help laughing, and you have nothing to do with you, sir, really, poof, really, old sir, you have to believe in the late life, hahaha......"

Xie Shence couldn't help but laugh as he spoke, and his words were full of sincerity.

I really didn't laugh at you, hahahaha.

You have to believe me, hahahaha, it's none of your business.

Xie Chengcai's face suddenly turned green.

And said they weren't laughing at me! Obviously laughing at me! Just laugh at me!

Xie Chengcai's body trembled slightly, and the muscles on his face twitched, and he was about to get angry.

At this time, the three people at Xie Chengcai's table also came over and hurriedly scolded Xie Shence.

"The barbarian from Huaiyangdao, don't think that the people from the little marquis's wife clan can do whatever they want! What if you are Huaiyangdao? ”

"That is, Yangzhou City belongs to the Xie family, and Brother Xie is a figure of the Xie family, you have to be careful when you talk to him!"

"The strong dragon still doesn't suppress the head snake! Don't be too arrogant, you young man, dare to provoke the majesty of the Xie family! ”

“......”

Xie Shence was stunned by what the three of them said, what are these three people coaxing? Or is it adding fuel to the fire?

It seems that the three of them are not at ease......

So Xie Shence coughed twice, straightened his throat and said, "Three, in fact, I am also ......"

"You too? What are you too? Could it be that you also have the surname Xie? You are the person who Huaiyang Dao Xie family, so you are not qualified to provoke my Henan Dao Xie family! ”

Xie Chengcai interrupted Xie Shence's words.

Xie Shence reiterated again: "No, I am ......"

"Not? Don't you dare to say it? Say! Who are you? ”

Xie Shence was ready to reiterate it again.

At this moment, Caiyi's eyes lit up, and then Xie Shence heard Xie Laosan's voice.

"Young Master! Master! You're here, so I'll be able to find you! The eldest young master said that the wing room is one south and one north, and asked which side you want, eh, Ah Cai? Why are you here? ”

Caiyi desperately covered her mouth to prevent herself from making a sound.

Xie Chengcai's face was instantly red, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, front and back.

"Three, three masters, I, I ......"

"What are you, are you standing here to pay the young master?"

Xie Shence raised his hand to stop Xie Laosan from speaking, and then said with a smile: "Look, I said my surname is Xie, why don't you let me finish speaking?" You'll let me finish! ”

Xie Chengcai "poofed" and sat on the ground, and the three people beside him also quickly knelt on the ground.
