A quarter of an hour later, Xie An and Xiang Qing walked into a place of carmine and pink called flower makeup on Zuo'an Street, picked the best side room, and drank and talked.

"I was really scared by Third Brother Xiang just now, and my little brother's heart and liver were scared!" Holding a glass to Xiang Qing, Xie An complained angrily.

"Hahaha, the third brother is here to make amends to his brother!" Xiang Qing smiled heartily, raised his glass and drank the wine in the cup, very heroic.

"Third brother has a good amount of alcohol!" Xie An raised his thumbs and praised it, and also drank all the wine in the cup, then put down the wine glass, and said quite puzzled, "The third brother's beating, the younger brother must remember it in his heart, and he dare not forget it, but the younger brother has something unclear, and I hope the third brother will solve the confusion for the younger brother......."

"Oh?" Picking up the wine jug to fill it for Xie An, Xiang Qing chuckled and said, "Why are you wondering?" ”

I saw Xie An glance at Xiang Qing, who was pouring wine, and said strangely, "Looking at the third brother's expression just now, it doesn't look like a fake, but why two days ago, when Second Brother Chen broke into the palace in a rage and wanted to kill the younger brother to vent his anger, the third brother and Brother Yan came in time to stop him?" ”

Xie An was referring to the second day that he occupied Liangqiu's body......

That day, as usual, Xie An was still lazy in his room in the Anle Palace, but he didn't want to sleep until he was dazed, when a large group of people rushed in, led by Chen Gang, the deputy general of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army he met just now.

At that time, Xie An still didn't know which battalion of soldiers were wearing black armor and red silk around their necks, seeing him so boldly breaking into the palace, he was about to reason with him, but he was dragged off the couch by Chen Gang, and he was beaten in pain for a while, and finally, he pulled out the sword at his waist and wanted to put him to death.

And at this moment, Yan Kai and Xiang Qing, who arrived in time, rescued Xie An from Chen Gang's hands, and the three of them fought, and when Xie An's room was almost razed to the ground, Yan Kai and Xiang Qing finally subdued Chen Gang and forcibly took the latter back.

The next day, Xiang Qing was ordered by Liang Qiu Wu to visit for the second time, and apologized to Li Shou and Xie An for Chen Gang's recklessness before, and it was on that day that Xie An got acquainted with Xiang Qing, the deputy general of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army, who had no chance to get acquainted with him.

"Oh, brother is talking about that time......" Xiang Qing raised the cup and thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Brother doesn't know, the general has always regarded me and other brothers as siblings, and important matters have always called me and others to discuss, after the banquet that day, she summoned the four of my brothers into the house and told them one by one, my brother didn't know, I almost even blew up my chest and lungs at that time......

"Heh, hehe......" Xie Anyan smiled and shrank his head.

"At that time, Second Brother Chen was about to go to the palace to kill you, but he was stopped by the general and strictly ordered the four of us not to move. After the next day, Second Brother Chen called a few brothers in the camp, but I didn't know where to go, I knew that something was wrong, so I immediately rushed to the palace with Brother Yan, and sure enough, ...... But to tell you the truth, if it weren't for the general's words and told me and my brothers not to hurt your life, how would my brother have lived to live now? ”

Xie An smiled bitterly and said, "Even so, I still want to thank Third Brother Xie for saving his life......"

"Didn't I say it, it's not that I'm waiting to spare you, it's the general who will spare you...... That night, the general said, it's better to call your kid innocent than to call that Tai...... Let that bastard succeed in his treacherous scheme......" Speaking of this, Xiang Qing's eyes flashed with a bit of murderous intent, and he scolded in a low voice, "It's really not unexpected, the dignified prince, the prince of a country, would do such a dirty and cheap thing!" ”

"The third brother is scolding!" Xie An echoed with some humility, and then asked suspiciously, "But third brother, I heard that she is also one of the important figures in the military, that Li Wei, why did she do such a thing?" ”

Xiang Qing frowned slightly when he heard this, and said in a deep voice, "The reason is that rumors spread in Jijing in those days that the fourth prince was about to return to the court...... Brother must have heard it at the time, right? ”

"The first warrior of the Great Zhou? Xiang Wang Li Mao? ”

"Yes!" Xiang Qing nodded, and seeing that there was no one in the room, he lowered his voice and said, "After all, that day, the crown prince Li Wei set up a banquet to invite the ministers and guests of the court and the central government, in fact, it was not to celebrate the victory of the four princes in the north, but he heard the rumor that the fourth prince was about to return to Jijing......"

"What does the third brother mean?"

"Li Wei is the current crown prince, and he is extremely powerful in Jijing, but compared to the four princes, he is still almost, His Royal Highness Li Mao, the fourth prince, is the leading figure in our military, holding more than 100,000 troops in northern Xinjiang, once he returns to Jijing, it will inevitably threaten his status as the prince of Li Wei, therefore, Li Wei wants to rush before His Royal Highness Li Mao returns to Jijing, and try to win over all the generals in Jijing who hold military power as much as possible......"

"She's one of them?"

"Hmm!" Xiang Qing nodded, and then corrected, "It should be said that the general is the most critical link, brother should have heard that a few years ago, the Shenwu Battalion of our Eastern Army had an expedition to the Northern Expedition under the leadership of His Royal Highness Li Mao......"

"I've heard of it, and I killed the northern foreigners who retreated hundreds of miles north......"

"Hehehe," seeing Xie An mention this matter, Xiang Qing couldn't help but show a little smug on his face, and then, his face sank, frowned and said, "The problem is here, the four towns of Jijing, the past dynasties are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the crown prince, but because they fought side by side at that time, so that many people regard our Eastern Army Shenwu Battalion as the force of His Royal Highness Li Mao, the fourth prince, and moreover, the powerful force displayed by the general is also a man who is so speechless, for this reason, Li Wei has no choice but to make dangerous moves, and also to solve this hidden danger, first persuade him with good words, If the general refuses to comply, he will use the treacherous ......" At this point, he licked his lips and said in a cold voice, "What a fool! Then Li Wei didn't want to think about it, if he really succeeded...... I'm afraid the whole Ji Kyoto is going to be in chaos! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xie An looked puzzled, and said secretly in his heart, is it possible that your Eastern Army Shenwu Battalion will still rebel?

Xiang Qing opened his mouth slightly, suddenly chuckled, and said separately, "Forget it, don't mention it, since you can go in and out of the mansion in a dignified manner, I think you have a tacit understanding with the general, and when you become an aunt in the mansion in the future, the third brother will be a brother!" ”

"The third brother laughed......" Xie An smiled bitterly, he vaguely felt that Xiang Qing had something to say to him.

"Where's the joke!" Xiang Qing waved his hand, then raised his glass to drink the wine in the cup, and then, he wiped his mouth, smacked his lips and looked at the room where there were only the two of them, frowned and said, "It's too boring to eat and drink like this!" After saying that, he stood up, came to the door of the wing, opened the door and shouted at the top of his voice, "Steward, steward, invite a few beauties to come out and accompany my two brothers to have wine!" ”

"Third brother, isn't this very good?" Xie An rubbed his hands together and pretended to say.

"What are you afraid of, just wait for me to eat and drink! ――If you don't say it afterwards, and I don't say it, who will know? Xiang Qing glanced back at Xie An, the two exchanged glances, and smiled at each other tacitly.

At the same time, in the side hall of the front yard of the Donggong Mansion, Chen Gang, who had been waiting for a long time, finally saw Liang Qiu Wu who woke up from a nap.

"General......

"I'm not in the barracks right now, so you don't need to call me a general......" Liang Qiuwu waved his hand, and then invited Chen Gang to take a seat.

"Yes!" Chen Gang bowed his head and sat down after thanking him, and Yiyi, who was waiting for the tea, brought the brewed tea up.

"Thank you......" After taking the tea, Chen Gang hugged his fists and said thank you, as the general of the Donggong Mansion and the old man in the mansion, how could he not know Yiyi's identity.

"Second Brother Chen, since you are here, it means that you have found out the clue, right?" Sitting on the main seat, Liang Qiuwu took a sip of tea and asked calmly.

"Yes, Miss!" Chen Gang nodded, put down the teacup in his hand, clenched his fists and said, "The last general has found out that the person who sneakily monitored in my Donggong Mansion last night is a person from the Nanguo Mansion!" ”

"What?" Liang Qiuwu's eyes showed a little surprise when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "Could it be a mistake?" The Nangong Mansion and my Donggong Mansion have always had a good relationship, and there is no reason why they would send someone to monitor the movements in our Mansion......"

"The last general was also very suspicious at first, so he asked his henchmen to secretly follow those people, and the henchmen of the last general watched those who returned to the Nanguo Mansion to restore their lives......"

"That's weird!" Liang Qiu Wu stood up, paced back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back for a few steps, and said with a puzzled face, "The Lu family of the Nanguo Mansion has been friends with my Liangqiu family for generations, and has been advancing and retreating together in the court for decades, so there is no reason to send someone to monitor my mansion...... Do you know what it is? ”

"This last general really doesn't know, why don't you call a few brothers to catch a few people and come back to ask?"

"No!" Liang Qiuwu raised his hand to stop Chen Gang, shook his head and said calmly, "Don't hurt the harmony between the two families for decades for this little thing, after a few days, I will find an opportunity to ask Uncle Lu ......."

"Yes! Then let the brothers go and get out of trouble! ”

"Hmm!" Liang Qiuwu nodded and sat back on the main seat again, but unexpectedly saw that Chen Gang did not leave just now, and asked in wonder, "Is there anything else wrong with Second Brother Chen?" ”

I saw a little hesitation on Chen Gang's face, and he clenched his fists and said, "Miss, do you really plan to marry that shameless villain?" ”

Liang Qiuwu was stunned, then realized that Chen Gang was referring to Xie An, frowned and asked, "You ran into him?" ”

"When Fang Cai came to the mansion with Xiang Qing, he bumped into him......"

"You didn't hurt him, did you?" Liang Qiuwu frowned and asked.

Chen Gang was familiar with Liang Qiuwu's character and didn't dare to hide it, so he told everything just now, including his drawing of his sword from Xie An and Xiang Qing's rescue, only to hear Liang Qiuwu's eyebrows sometimes frowning and sometimes stretching.

"Second Brother Chen, I have made a marriage vow with him before the ancestral spiritual throne, you don't want to interfere in this matter again, if you hurt him, you will hurt me......"

Chen Gang's eyes widened, he opened his mouth, and finally nodded heavily, clenched his fists and said, "The last general understands!" - So, the last general retired first? ”

"Hmm!" Liang Qiuwu nodded, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she raised her hand and said, "Wait!" Second Brother Chen, you said that Third Brother Xiang came with you? ”

"Yes," Chen Gang, who had already walked to the door, turned his head when he heard this, nodded and said, "It's not Xiaoqing on duty today, it's because he has nothing to do and came to ...... with the general."

"What about the others?"

"This ......" Chen Gang also glanced out of the door a few times inexplicably, and then said with a chuckle, "It's probably because he went to eat and drink, that kid can't stay idle......"

"Oh," Liang Qiuwu didn't care when he heard this, and waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Second Brother Chen, go by yourself!" ”

"The last general will leave!"

Looking at the back of Chen Gang leaving, Liang Qiu Wu stretched out his arms and was about to get up and go back to the backyard, but saw Yiyi beside him with a strange expression.

"Yiyi? What's wrong? ”

Yi Yi raised her head and said in a low voice, "The slave is wondering, will Deputy General Xiang bring his uncle to eat and drink with him...... Vice General Xiang and his uncle, the relationship seems to be good......"

"So what?" Liang Qiuwu asked puzzled.

I saw Yi Yi biting her lip slightly, and said in a low voice, "Miss also knows that whenever Vice Admiral Xiang eats wine, he must get drunk and unconscious, and besides, Vice Admiral Xiang's favorite place to go......" She didn't say any more, because she had seen that her young lady's pretty face had gradually revealed a little anger.

Under Yiyi's secretly stunned gaze, Liang Qiuwu walked to the wall table on the side of the hall with a calm face, and held the giant long sword placed on the wooden frame in one hand.

"Dang!" The scabbard of the giant long sword slammed on the floor lightly and heavily, and the other end of it was even taller than Liang Qiu Wu's entire person.

Lifting the giant sword with one hand and inserting it between her belt, the woman's face sank entirely.

"Yiyi, go!"

"Yes...... It's ......"
