Although Xie An felt a little regretful that the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army could not intervene in the Luoyang battlefield, he finally got 2,000 troops.

You must know that four or five years ago, these people were the culprits who entered the periphery of Kou Da and caused the fall of the entire north, the Beirong wolf horse.

I have to admit that there is a wife who is a general, Xie An can be said to have taken advantage of it, not only got 2,000 manpower for nothing, but also got a batch of weapons and armor eliminated by the Eastern Army.

In Xie An's impression, the so-called obsolete weapons and armor should be rusty weapons or half-damaged armor, but when he saw Liang Qiu Wu ordering people to move out the half-new, or even almost brand-new equipment in the armoury in the camp, he couldn't imagine why the weapon with a still sharp handle would be eliminated.

For this reason, he inquired about the attitudes of the parties in Chapter 70 (4) Liangqiu Wu, and the woman said very naturally that these weapons were backward, and the craftsmen and ministers of Jijing groped and smelted more tough iron, and created weapons more suitable for cavalry, and lighter but stronger armor.

I remember that once, he called the eldest grandson Xiangyu a woman who grew up eating gold, but he never thought that his wife Liang Qiuwu was also such a master, and the equipment that could still be used was obviously available, just because she had developed a better one, she waved her pen and ordered the whole army to change the equipment, which was two or three million taels of silver......

At that moment, Xie An finally understood, he finally understood why the imperial court wanted to cut the ordnance funds of the four towns, not to mention the other three towns, this Eastern Army Shenwu Battalion alone is an army that has always been made of gold, and the equipment of the sergeants and soldiers has always been the top in the country.

It's too extravagant!

It is no wonder that some ministers of the DPRK and China would say that the military funds to support the 20,000 Shenmu battalion of the Eastern Army are enough to build an army of 100,000 people.

Thinking about his monthly salary of eight hundred taels, Xie An was really a little depressed.

But thinking about it on the other hand, it can also be said that Liang Qiu Wu is responsible for his subordinates, hoping to use the best equipment to reduce the attitude of all parties in Chapter 70 (4) The possibility of his subordinates dying on the battlefield, and because of this, the daily training regulations of the Eastern Army are also very heavy, referring to the dogma of [getting on the horse is a cavalry, and getting off the horse is a foot soldier].

Of course, when he saw those half-new weapons being handed over to the Beirong wolf riders, Xie An also knew that he had picked up a big bargain, not to mention that Liang Qiuwu also lent him two thousand horses, and turned the two thousand Beirong wolf riders into cavalry.

To be precise, it should be 1,700 Rong people, plus 300 soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army pretending to be Rong people.

Although the Rong people who were frightened by Liang Qiu Wu did not necessarily dare to rebel even after getting weapons, armor, and horses, but just in case, Liang Qiu Wu still mixed the soldiers of the three hundred Shenwu Battalion in this gang, one is to supervise the 1,700 Rong people, lest these people get carried away when they see her Liang Qiu Wu is not there, do nonsense, do their own thing, and do not listen to Xie An's dispatch, and secondly, these 300 Shenwu Battalion soldiers are mainly responsible for Xie An's life safety, oh, and Li Shou.

I have to admit that although I have been a military slave feeding horses in the Eastern Military Camp for four or five years, when these Rong people get the weapons and armor they are distributed, even if Xie An feels a military might that only the army of tigers and wolves has, but unfortunately, even if these people get weapons, in front of Liangqiu Wu, they are still like wolves who have seen tigers, clamping their tails, and they dare not be presumptuous at all, which makes Xie An have to think about it, guessing how terrifying his wife Liangqiu Wu was on the battlefield in northern Hebei that year.

At least for now, in Xie An's opinion, what makes him feel the most terrifying thing about Liang Qiu Dance is nothing more than the energy that surpasses ordinary people, Xie An admits that women do last longer than men in sexual affairs, but it is not so outrageous.

But no matter what, Xie An was still very happy to get a fully armed army of two thousand combat power, and he was so happy that he didn't even have time to wait for Liang Qiuwu to return to the mansion together, so he went straight to Anle Wangfu.

This time, Xiang Qing and Luo Chao did not accompany him, after all, the two of them still had to prepare some things, such as communication with those Rong people, and for example, the issue of leaving the imperial court, after all, in Xie An's opinion, since the crown prince Li Wei insisted on leaving Liang Qiuwu in Jijing, it was natural that the idea in the heart of the prince Li Wei was nothing more than to use the hands of the Luoyang rebels to eradicate him Xie An and Li Shou, in other words, the prince Li Wei would not send assassins to assassinate Xie An at this time.

By the time Xie An came to Anle Wang's Mansion, it was already approaching evening.

At that time, Li Shou and Wang Dan were preparing to eat, and when they saw Xie An coming, their expressions were as wonderful as they were, until Xie An told Li Shou and Wang Dan about the Beirong wolf ride with an angry face, and the two of them showed an expression of [spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain], and apologized again and again with a smile.

"So, the king has two thousand soldiers at his disposal?" Li Shou is still at the age of not yet being weak, and his heart is not so mature, and after hearing this news, he is also overjoyed.

Under Wang Dan's smiling and silent gaze, Xie An pursed his lips, with a bit of mockery, and said in a strange manner, "Lord Qiqi, the commander of the two thousand cavalry is not talented!" ――There is nothing to do with the prince! ”

Li Shou gasped when he heard this, and said with a fuss on his face, "The guy who owes this king more than 20,000 taels of silver, how dare he get carried away like this?" ”

Even after Xie An was cheeky, he was embarrassed by Li Shou's words, and said angrily, "Less nonsense!" - By the way, remember to prepare another 20,000 taels of silver before you set out! ”

"Do...... Do what? ”

"Reward, buy people's hearts, those people are not my Da Zhou people, don't think that a few words will give you your life, one sends ten taels of silver meaning, this is called a brave man under the heavy reward! - Learn something! ”

Li Shou looked at Xie An for a long time intently, and said strangely, "Didn't you say that this king is only the commander in name?" ”

"That's right, it's because you're the nominal commander that you were asked to do this thing...... You're not short of money anyway! ”

"......" Li Shou rolled his eyes angrily, but in the end, he still responded, but his expression was quite helpless.

After all, his friendship with Xie An is not something that can be swayed by two taels of silver, not to mention that the 20,000 taels of silver are used to entrap those Rong people to surrender their pawns, even if it is given to Xie An for nothing, he has no words.

And what made Li Shou quite depressed was that Xie An used this news to have another meal in his house, and before leaving, as the owner of the mansion, he even had to personally send this bastard boy.

"Next time, even if there is good news, don't choose the time to eat! - Anyway, you came here in time, right? Otherwise, how could it have come by such a coincidence? ”

"Don't show off, brother now has a place to go! ――Do you think you'll still be eating at your house every day like you used to? Xie An said angrily.

But this is true, after all, in addition to the Donggong Mansion, Xie An's cheap teacher, Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, invited Xie An to his mansion more than once, but Xie An was not embarrassed to go, after all, he also knew that it was not his ability or power that people valued, but his relationship with the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

Just like Duke Yin invited him Xie An to the Prime Minister's Mansion, was it to see him? No! It's just to see how the eldest grandson Xiangyu is doing during the period when he ran away from home, as for him Xie An, it's just a passing.

Of course, although it is by the way, Duke Yin has never treated Xie An badly, every time Xie An goes, he is entertained with good wine and food, and he goes, but Xie An feels a little embarrassed.

As for other courtiers belonging to the Changsun family and the Liangqiu family, they held banquets in restaurants or their own mansions several times, inviting Xie An, and there were countless of them.

Today's Xie An is no longer the one he was when he was down on the streets of Jijing.

"Then I'm leaving!" Walking to the gate of Anle Wangfu, Xie An looked lazy and waved his hand to Li Shou very casually.

"Go, go, go!" Li Shou sighed helplessly, and suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he hurriedly called out to Xie An.

"Wait, Xie An!"

"Huh?" Xie An stopped, looked back at Li Shou suspiciously, but saw him hesitate, frowned and said, "I will leave for Luoyang in three days, and tomorrow will be the ...... of July 15" Speaking of this, he didn't say any more, just looked at Xie An.

"July 15......" Xie An frowned slightly, the casual look on his face gradually retracted, and Zhengse said, "Do you want to go?" ”

Under Wang Dan's surprised gaze, Li Shou nodded and said, "For such a major matter, I think it's better to tell his old man......" As he said, he reluctantly smiled a little and continued, "By the way, I can also ask him to bless you and me in the spirit of the old man's ...... heaven."

"Myths and ghosts, nonsense!" Xie An pursed his lips and turned his head and walked in the direction of his mansion.

Looking at Xie An's departing back, Li Shou shouted angrily, "Hey, whether to go or not!" ”

Xie An didn't look back, beckoned, and shouted, "Pick me up at the door of my house tomorrow!" ”

Li Shou couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, shook his head, and scolded with a smile, "Stinky boy, the official rank is not high, but the shelf is quite big, so he asked this king to drive a carriage to pick him up?" Scold! ”

Glancing at Xie An's departing back, and then at Li Shou, Wang Dan stroked his beard and asked in surprise, "Your Highness, tomorrow's July 15th is Halloween's Day, isn't it that His Highness and Lord Xie are going to worship which old man?" ”

"Ah," Li Shou let out a long sigh when he heard this, and said melancholy, "An old man who has great kindness to me and Xie An!" ”

"Oh......" Wang Dan nodded as if he didn't understand.

At dawn the next day, Li Shou got up early, took his wife Wang, and his son Li Yu, who was not yet a full moon, and drove a carriage to Xie An's mansion with his confidant Wang Dan.

Because it was midday, the sky was still dark, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, and there were only a few people coming and going.

Seeing this, Wang Dan, who was sitting in the carriage driver's position with Li Shou, said with a smile, "I am comfortable entering the palace, and I have never seen Lord Xie get up at the right time, will it be too early?" I am very suspicious below, Lord Xie is still sleeping on the couch at the moment......"

"Hehehe," Li Shou, who was driving the carriage, smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "On the day of Qingming, I and Xie An's boy, but we got up at the end of the day, and when we opened the city gate, we went out of the city...... Although the boy's mouth was full of those unsatisfactory words, in his heart, he never forgot the great kindness of Fauber to him...... Do you know that last year, Chinese New Year's Eve the cold winter, this kid almost froze to death at the gate of my Anle Palace, and it was Fu Bo who carried him into the palace and saved his life......"

At this moment, Wang Dan had already learned from Li Shou that [Fu Bo] was the deceased old man who everyone was going out of the city to worship on the mountain this time, and he also knew that before Xie An served as the housekeeper of Anle Palace, it was the old man who took care of Li Shou for more than ten years.

But he didn't know much about Xie An's troubles about almost freezing to death in front of Anle Wang's Mansion, and said in surprise when he heard this, "There is still such a thing? As he spoke, he shook his head and said with some empathy, "No wonder Master Xie said that he couldn't be clearer about the feeling of starvation......

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you," turning his head to look at Wang Dan, Li Shou Zhengse said, "At that time, it was Xie An who carried you into the palace......

Wang Dan opened his mouth, his eyes were full of gratitude, he couldn't stop nodding again and again, and said, "I understand, since then, I have told myself that I will give full authority to His Highness and Lord Xie in this cheap life, and I will go to the soup and fight the fire, and I will not give up!" ”

"Mr. Wang's words ......are serious," Li Shou was relieved, and was about to say something, but he saw Xie An waiting at the door of his mansion from a distance, and next to him, the eldest grandson Xiangyu looked at the streets left and right with a curious expression.

The carriage stopped with a squeak, and before Li Shou could say hello, he was complained by Xie An for a while.

"It's too slow, what are you doing?"

Originally, Li Shou was going to say hello to Xie An, but when he heard this, he suddenly lost his mood and said angrily, "Lord Xie, Xie Shaoqing, it takes time ......for this king to prepare the carriage, but it takes time" Saying that, he glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu with a puzzled face, and said strangely, "Miss eldest grandson, this is ......"

As soon as the words fell, he saw Xie An sighing helplessly, shook his head, and said speechlessly, "I told her, not to play, but to go up the mountain to worship the old people, she didn't believe it, she had to follow the ......" As he spoke, he glanced back at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and said angrily, "Go up, eldest miss!" ――What are you waiting for? Do you want me to prepare a human stool for you? ”

The eldest grandson Xiangyu naturally understood what the human stool in Xie An's mouth was, and when he heard this, he pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "With such a weak body and bones as you, Miss Ben is afraid that it will be broken!" Looking back at Sister Wu and my theory, I can't afford to be guilty! As she spoke, she looked at Li Shou curiously, and asked with a little suspicion, "Your Highness the Nine, did you really go out of the city and go up the mountain to sweep the tomb?" ”

"Yes......" Li Shou nodded with a wry smile.

"That'...... Then I'm going too! Losing a word, the eldest grandson Xiangyu played the temper of the daughter of the family, stepped straight into the carriage, waited for the carriage curtain, and saw Li Shou's wife Wang who was holding her son in the carriage, her expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed.

In the final analysis, although the eldest grandson Xiangyu is stubborn and brutal by nature, he still pays attention to his appearance, especially in front of women.

"You...... You're the princess of Her Royal Highness the Nine, right? ”

"Concubine Wang, I've seen Miss Changsun......" Li Shou's wife, Wang, lowered her head and whispered, it could be seen that she was a little restrained and afraid of life.

"Wang's ......" The eldest grandson Xiangyu was slightly stunned, looked deeply at the introverted woman in front of her who was holding the baby, a little overwhelmed, and then showed a real smile on her face, got into the carriage, sat beside Wang, looked at the baby in her hand and said with a smile, "Sister Wang, this is the son of His Royal Highness the Nine, right?" What's your name, little one? As she spoke, she gently poked the face of the baby sleeping in her mother's arms with her slender fingers.

"The nickname is Yu ......" Seeing that the eldest grandson Xiangyu was next to her, the shy and introverted Wang lowered his head and whispered.

Li Yu ...... Nice name! Come, ask Aunt Eldest Sun to hug ......"

"......" Wang looked at Li Shou like asking for help, and saw Li Shou nodding in agreement, so he reluctantly hugged the child in his arms to the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

"Weird...... Miss Eldest Sun and Princess Wang seem to be very close to each other? Wang Dan looked at this scene in surprise, after all, in his opinion, the eldest grandson Xiangyu has always been close to people, and has never been so close to a person like this, even Xie An, you must know that at the beginning, Xie An was severely humiliated by this woman.

"Maybe it's fate...... Xie An said with a smile.

Naturally, he won't say it, the biological mother of the eldest grandson Xiangyu is a woman surnamed Wang, although she has never seen it with her own eyes, but according to Yingong, that Mrs. Wang is also a gentle and virtuous woman with a shy temperament.

"Li Shou, I can't see it, your son is still quite cute!" Under Wang's nervous gaze, the eldest grandson Xiangyu teased the baby in his arms like amusement, raised his head and said to Li Shou.

Li Shou couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, so he could only nod his head and say yes.

At this time, Xie An patted Wang Dan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, you should also go to the car!" ”

"This ......" Wang Dan looked at the two women in the carriage with some embarrassment, turned his head and said to Li Shou, "It's better to get down and drive, and Your Highness will rest in the car......"

"Hehe," Li Shou smiled, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wang, on the way here, Xie An and I may have something to talk about, so you should go to the car to rest......

Seeing Li Shou's resolute attitude, Wang Dan had no choice but to get into the carriage and sit in the corner, as if an old monk had settled down, closed and recuperated.

Turning over and getting into the carriage and sitting on the seat in front of Wang Dan, Xie An glanced at the carriage, then lowered the door curtain, looked at Li Shou and teased, "What?" This time, I was willing to bring my sister-in-law out? ”

"Heh," Li Shou smiled slightly and said, "It's not that Fu Bo hasn't seen the Wang family, my marriage was still Fu Bo Zhang Luo's, and this time I took her with me, just to let Fu Bo see my Li Shou's son......" Speaking of this, he let out a long sigh.

As Li Shou's most trusted confidant, Xie An knows everything in the palace, as a matter of course, and also knows that since Li Shou was taken away from the palace, Fu Bo has been taking care of him for nearly twenty years, so that Li Shou has always regarded Fu Bo as his relative.

"I think Fu Bo will be gratified, he has been urging you for a long time......" Xie An looked sneered.

"What can I do about this woman's pregnancy?" Li Shou rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said angrily, "It's you, why don't you bring those two in your family with you?" Fu Bo treats you like a parent, why should you let the old man see his daughter-in-law, right? ”

"I'm not married, let's talk about it after we get married!"

"When's that going to be? ―― People are generals from the second rank, you are only on the fifth grade, when will you catch up with her? According to me, I got into Liangqiu's family and changed my name to Liangqiu'an...... Looks pretty good! ”

"......" Xie An rolled his eyes when he heard this, and said angrily, "This has something to do with you?" Shut up and concentrate on driving! ”

"You guy......" Li Shou gritted his teeth hatefully, and suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and couldn't help but smile, "By the way, do you remember when you and I first met?" ”

"In the palace?"

"Hehehe," Li Shou chuckled and shook his head, and said, "This king still remembers that sentence...... [Sit!] -- Explain to this king what happened to make you, a madman, take ...... on the street in the middle of the night yesterday Smash me with that basket of steamed buns! ]”

"Hey!" Xie An couldn't help grinning and smiled at Li Shou.

At the same time, in the Donggong Mansion, Liang Qiu Dance had also gotten up and routinely practiced martial arts in the small school field in the backyard.

It wasn't until around the hour that she went back to her room to take a shower and prepare for dinner.

After eating, while it was still early to go to the barracks to order Mao, Liang Qiuwu was ready to go to Xie An's mansion and explain to him some things about Beirong wolf riding, although Xie An's mansion was some distance from Donggong's mansion, but if you rode a horse, it wouldn't take much time.

However, when she came to the Shaoqing Xie Mansion of the Great Prison Temple, she unexpectedly found that Xie An was no longer in the mansion, and according to the people in the mansion, Xie An went out early in the morning.

Liang Qiuwu didn't know that Xie An and Li Shou had already left Jijing for more than ten miles at this moment, and after thinking for a long time, they thought that Xie An had gone to the Great Prison Temple, but they ran away to the Great Prison Temple in vain.

With all kinds of suspicions in the center, after Liang Qiu danced to the barracks, he came to Xie An's mansion again, and asked, Xie An still didn't come back, and she was puzzled, and returned to Donggong Mansion with some disappointment, ready to wait for Xie An to come back.

As a result, Xie An didn't wait, but unexpectedly waited for the invitation sent by Nangongfu......

It's no wonder that Liang Qiuwu was surprised, after all, right now, Lu Fan, the prince of Nangongfu, died on the battlefield, and Lu Song, the prince of Nanguo, went to Daliang with anger, rectified the camp of the southern army, and set foot on the battlefield in Luoyang, wanting to avenge his son.

And at this juncture, Nangong Mansion actually sent an invitation?

After opening the invitation card and taking a closer look, Liang Qiuwu determined that this was the invitation to invite her to the Nangong Mansion for a banquet, and when she looked at the payment again, she was slightly stunned.

I saw a woman's name written on it, Su Wan......

What is this woman looking for herself?

For the woman who her husband has never forgotten, even if it is Liang Qiu Wu, there is a little bad feeling in her heart, so when she participated in the funeral of Lu Fan, the prince of Nangong Mansion earlier, she only comforted the woman a little, and did not ask most of the other things that had nothing to do with the funeral.

For example, the past of his husband Xie An, and the process of the two getting acquainted......

After that, the Nangong Mansion had no contact with the Donggong Mansion or Xie An, but unexpectedly, at this time, the woman sent an invitation......

Suddenly, Liang Qiu Dance suddenly realized.

In her mind, Xie An was going to go on an expedition with the Nine Emperor Prince Li Shou three days later, and that woman probably wanted to convey some things to Xie An through her Liangqiu dance, such as wishes......

Thinking of this, Liang Qiuwu put the invitation in his arms, went out of the mansion, and rode straight towards the Nangong Mansion.

After all, she also had something she wanted to ask that woman, and as Xie An's wife, she couldn't tolerate that she didn't know as much about her husband as some irrelevant women!!
