Chapter Twenty-Four: The Approaching King of Yan

“…… Retreat! ”

The great eunuch Wang Ying shouted, and under the congratulations of the hundreds of officials, Li Shou, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, slowly walked into the inner hall of the Taihe Palace, which invisibly announced that today's court meeting was here.

"It's finally over......" Walking out of the Taihe Hall and stretching, Xie An couldn't help but yawn, and it could be seen that he was a little tired.

It's no wonder, after all, he has four beautiful wives in his family, with Xie An's character, it is not that he has to go back and forth, day by day, how can he endure loneliness and fall asleep alone.

However, this also made Xie An's spirit very bad every morning, taking Fang Cai Zao as an example, it is not difficult to see that Xie An is napping, I don't know, I think Xie An really echoed his colleague's proposal.

It's not that Xie An is irresponsible as the secretary of the Criminal Department, the problem is that Li Xian, the eighth son of the emperor who served as the prime minister, [the Eight Sages King] alone, involved all the proposals of the Manchu Dynasty, rather than standing stupidly like everyone else, watching Li Xian talk endlessly, Xie An might as well take advantage of this time to close his eyes and take the opportunity to take a nap, anyway, if the decree is completed, the imperial court will write a formal public notice and send it to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs.

Just when Xie An was cultivating the superb skill of squinting his eyes and successfully stepping down the jade steps outside the Taihe Palace, a soft cry came from behind him.

"Xie Shangshu, please stay!"

Xie An turned his head and saw Li Xian walking towards him, so he stopped and waited for him in place.

"I'm sorry for last night's incident......" Walking up to Xie An, Li Xian arched his hand and took this sentence as the opening remark.

Xie An smiled faintly when he heard this, raised his hand and made a gesture of please, walked to Zhengyang Gate with Li Xian, and pouted in his mouth. "Is it because of those four fools yesterday?"

Seeing that Xie An didn't seem to be as angry as he imagined, Li Xian was slightly surprised, and after bowing his head and pondering and organizing his words, he nodded and said, "Last night, Captain Lao Mo sent a message to Xiang, and only then did he learn what those four guys did, but fortunately, Xie Shangshu was tolerant and generous......

"It's useless to say it nicely," Xie An said half-jokingly with a yawn. "The government said yesterday that if you want someone, you have to go to the Great Prison Temple in person to raise ......."

"This should be ......" Li Xian nodded, after all, Xie An was able to forgive the four sons of the Li royal family, and he had already given him Li Xian's face. Li Xian is still very clear about this.

However, Li Xian was still a little surprised that Xie An was able to raise his noble hand and let go of those four people, after all, in his opinion, Xie An also belonged to a figure who would be retribution.

Perhaps seeing the surprise in Li Xian's heart, Xie An pouted and said, "The government knows what the Prime Minister is thinking. Seriously, the government really wanted to slaughter those guys and throw their bodies into the wilderness......"

"This isn't like what I should say to the secretary of the Criminal Department!" Li Xian smiled and shook his head, then looked at Xie An and said with a little meaning. "Xie Shangshu finally spared the lives of those four people, and Li Xian is grateful!"

"There's no way, who told Jijing to be unanimous with the outside world right now? Again, from another point of view. Those four guys actually helped the government? Speaking of this, Xie An let out a long sigh.

Truly. Xie An's words were not because of Li Xian's face, but from the heart, although he was so angry at that time that he wanted to kill the four royal princes, but as far as the result was concerned, the four royal princes helped Xie An instead.

If it weren't for the four of them kidnapping Su Wan, last night, Xie An and Su Wan broke up unhappily, and the relationship would inevitably be even worse, where would such a huge change happen?

Until now, Xie An still remembers the warmth that belonged to Su Wan in his arms at that time, to be honest, Xie An really didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to hug this beloved woman again in this life.

The only thing that made him regret was that Su Wan, a model among traditional women, cared too much about her embarrassing identity now, and called herself her sister before leaving, vaguely reminding Xie An that she was now the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and asked Xie An to take care of the wife in the family, and not to do anything to make outsiders gossip.

The painful look in his eyes, as if he was struggling violently, made Xie Anbei feel embarrassed.

"......" Seeing Xie An beside him, he suddenly sighed gloomily, Li Xian wisely did not ask any further, with his wisdom, it is not difficult to see that Xie An obviously has a lot of feelings for the daughter-in-law of the Lu family, otherwise, how could he be so angry yesterday?

To be honest, Li Xian was really taken aback yesterday, after all, at that time, Xie An ordered the dispatch of the people of the two spy agencies of the South and North Zhenfu Divisions, and invited the troops of the Patrol Division of the Weiwei Temple to search all over the city.

Sure enough, this Xie An is from Guangling, and the daughter-in-law of the Lu family is also from Guangling, and there must be some kind of unknown relationship between the two of them......

After thinking about it slightly, Li Xian put this idea behind him, after all, he was not interested in Xie An's emotional aspects.

And over there, Xie An also seemed to realize his gaffe, suppressed his thoughts about Su Wan in his heart, and reluctantly smiled, "When does the Prime Minister plan to come to my Great Prison Temple to raise people?" ”

"This is not busy," Li Xian smiled slightly, and said, "When I heard about this yesterday, I was very angry, if it really ruined the current harmony between the DPRK and China because of this incident, there is no need for Xie Shangshu to do it, and the minister will not let the four of them go...... Let's let those four stay in the prison of the Great Prison Temple for a few days, and remember it for a long time! ”

"The Prime Minister said this, it was really surprising to call the government......" Glancing at Li Xian in surprise, Xie An suddenly found that Li Xian's complexion was also not good, perhaps because of the relationship between the entire imperial court proposal, Li Xian looked a little haggard, his face was pale and bloodless, and a faint gray shadow appeared under his eyes, from which it was not difficult to guess how hard he worked.

"How long does the Prime Minister sleep every day these days?" Xie An asked with a frown.

Li Xian was stunned, glanced at Xie An in surprise, and then said with a smile, "It's unprecedented for Xie Shangshu to care so much about the political enemies of the DPRK and China......"

"Concerned about you? Come on, the government just thinks that with you Li Xian here, it is indeed much easier to deal with things in the DPRK and China, so ...... If you become ill from exertion, and then die. It's going to be a headache ......."

"Hehehe," Li Xian smiled slightly, jokingly with a bit of seriousness, shook his head and said, "Right now, my Great Zhou is facing a catastrophe, and I, Li Xian, can't say anything and die at this time, so that some thieves can take advantage of it!" ”

Looking at the faint coldness in Li Xian's eyes, Xie An said with a strange expression, "The thief in the mouth of the prime minister." There won't be me Xie An, right? ”

It seemed that he didn't expect Xie An to say this, but Li Xian was stunned, and then shook his head and said, "Xie Shangshu laughed, although there are many political disagreements with Xie Shangshu. But for Xie Shangshu's personality, he is still trustworthy......" Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something, and after taking a deep look at Xie An, he seemed to ask meaningfully, "Speaking of which, about the [Six Divine Generals]. How much does Master Xie know? ”

This Li Xian is really something, how can he know so well about the affairs of the Taiping Army?

Earlier, he broke the identity of the eldest brother, and now he is the six gods......

Xie An frowned, you know. Although he has a very good relationship with his brother-in-law Chen Bei, Chen Bei did not disclose half a sentence about the six god generals, and in the end, Geng Nan, one of the [six god generals], personally solved the doubt.

Could it be ......

It seems to have thought of something. Xie An chuckled and lowered his voice. He said, "The Prime Minister is really a good means, even the [Six Divine Generals] can be recruited, I don't know which one of them is?" ”

Li Xian glanced at Xie An in astonishment when he heard this, and there was a bit of doubt in his eyes.

This guy can't be mistaken about something, right?

Seeing that Li Xian's gaze became a little unkind, Xie An hurriedly explained, "The Prime Minister has misunderstood, and the mansion only learned about the Six Divine Generals a few days ago......

A few days ago?

Chen Bei, the third-generation commander of the Taiping Army, has been away from Beijing for more than 20 days, and a few days ago......

Li Xian is worthy of being an outstanding handsome man whose intelligence is comparable to that of Changsun Xiangyu, his eyes narrowed when he heard this, and he said with a smile, "I see...... Xie Shangshu is also a good thing, even the [Six Divine Generals] can be recruited, I don't know which one of them? He returned Xie An's words to Xie An as they were.

Where did Xie An expect that his explanation would make Li Xian think of these things, and he was stunned when he heard this.

Noticing the look of consternation on Xie An's face, Li Xian's heart was even more determined, and he nodded and said, "In this way, there are two six god generals in Jijing, ......" He admitted in disguise that he had one of the six god generals under him, Ji Hong, to surrender to Cheng.

"No, it's three!" Xie An shook his head and corrected.

Li Xian's eyes showed a little surprise when he heard this, he looked at Xie An in surprise, and praised him sincerely after half a ring, "It is worthy of Xie Shangshu......"

"Even if you praise me like this, it's useless, don't expect the government to reveal the matter of the two of them, because ......" Glancing at Li Xian, Xie An laughed and said with relief, "Because, the government can't trust His Royal Highness Xian!" ”

Li Xian's face stiffened when he heard this, and he looked at Xie An speechlessly, crying and laughing in his heart.

This Xie An is worthy of being a well-known retribution, and he still remembers what he said that day......

Seeing Xie An use what he said to him to close his mouth, Li Xian smiled bitterly and shook his head, but because of this, his suspicion of Xie An also receded a little.

After all, Li Xian learned from Ji Hong's mouth that the Six Divine Generals also belonged to the leadership of the Taiping Army, and their existence was an unknown secret, and now, since Xie An had said this matter openly, it was enough to prove that he was not a party of the Taiping Army, and the problem was his relationship with Chen Bei, the third-generation commander of the Taiping Army......

Glancing at Xie An, Li Xian hesitated for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The foundation of the Taiping Army is ...... in Jingzhou."

"What?" Seeing that Li Xian suddenly burst out without annoyance, saying such a crucial sentence, Xie An was really stunned, but when he noticed the inexplicable vigilance and nervousness in Li Xian's eyes, he suddenly understood that this kid was testing him.

"The Prime Minister is really generous, using such a confidential matter to test the mansion?" Xie An, who had figured out the key, arched his hand and said angrily, "In this case, the Shu Mansion took the first step, and the Mansion hurried back, wrote this matter into a letter, and sent his henchmen to the Taiping Army to inform ......."

Listening to Xie An's mocking tone, Li Xian showed a little smile on his face, grabbed Xie An, who was about to leave, and said apologetically, "Xie Shangshu forgive me, if you want to say which of these Jijing can make Li Xian feel jealous, except for Duke Yin and the second lady of your mansion, that is, Xie Shangshu!" - Xiao Wangcheng doesn't want to be an enemy of Xie Shangshu......"

"Is it a compliment in disguise?" Glancing at Li Xian, Xie An shook his head with a smile, and then. The smile on his face slowly retracted, and Zhengse said, "Right now, the Prime Minister is ready to deal with the Taiping Army?" ”

Glancing at Xie An deeply, Li Xian shook his head and said half-truthfully, "Regarding the affairs of the Taiping Army, Xiao Wang only knows about the surface at the moment...... I only know that most of the Taiping Army's foundation is in Jingzhou, and they are secretly accumulating grain and grass. As for where, I don't know ......"

And Xie An obviously saw that Li Xian still had some suspicion in his eyes, but he didn't take his words too seriously, and after looking left and right, he lowered his voice and said. "The mansion is just a mortal who covets luxury and stability, and only asks for silver in the money bag to pay the bill, so that the wife of the family can have jewelry to wear, restore the Southern Tang Dynasty or something, the prime minister will not really think that the mansion is a benevolent and righteous person who has no desires, right?"

"......" Li Xian was stunned, and then smiled slightly, obviously hearing the meaning of Xie An's words.

"Just as the Prime Minister said. At present, the government is the secretary of the criminal department, so he will naturally cherish his wings...... What is a business and what is a private matter, the government can still understand it...... Anyway, the urgent task of the party at the moment is the fourth son of the emperor [Yan Wang] Li Mao. As for the affairs of the Taiping Army, His Royal Highness will be able to trust it in the future...... Oh, no, when the future government can trust His Royal Highness. It's not too late for the two of us to talk about it in detail! - Does His Highness think so? ”

"That makes sense!" Li Xian, who had walked to Zhengyangmen Mansion with Xie An, smiled slightly and said goodbye to Xie An.

Farewell to Li Xian. Xie An got into the carriage and returned to his [Criminal Department Shangshu Xie] Mansion on Zhengyang Street, after all, there is still some time before he takes up his post in the Criminal Ministry Mansion, Xie An doesn't want to wait in the Mansion stupidly, besides, with his current status as the Criminal Department Shangshu, it is not a big deal to be a little late, it is better to take this opportunity to sleep and replenish his physical strength.

"Hmm...... Where to go? ”

Standing outside the house of the women in the north wing, Xie An scratched his head, looked at the door of the four women's room, and thought about what to do...... Ah no, which beloved wife to love.

However, the first reaction, Xie An excluded the eldest grandson Xiangyu, after all, this time period is when the crazy woman sleeps the most familiarly, and her temper is also the most irritable, if Xie An dares to disturb her sleep at this time, even if Xie An is her husband, I am afraid that she will kick off the bed, Xie An will not touch this moldy head.

"Well, it's still Sister Jin......"

Muttering, Xie An pushed open the door of Jin Ling'er's room, after all, he slept in Jin Ling'er's room last night, and he just got up early to rush to the court meeting.

Creeping to the couch, Xie An wanted to give Jin Ling'er a surprise attack, but unfortunately, Jin Ling'er was born as an assassin, where would he not know that Xie An pushed the door into the house?

"Hmm...... Is the pilgrimage over? Jin Ling'er, who was only wearing a belly pocket, turned over when she heard the sound, supported her body with her right arm, sat up on the bed, stretched her waist, and then covered her mouth with her hands, yawned, and looked lazy.

At that moment, Xie Ancheng felt that his blood was in his veins, and he leaned forward with a smile and hugged Jin Ling'er in his arms.

Perhaps noticing Xie An's restless hands, Jin Ling'er glanced at her husband and said angrily, "Isn't it enough to toss my mother for one night last night?" ”

"What's enough...... replied with a smile, Xie An leaned down and sucked the skin on Jin Ling'er's neck, and immediately, Jin Ling'er's breathing became a little short, and she hugged Xie An emotionally, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an obsessive look.

Just as the two of them were lingering on the couch, they suddenly heard a bang, the door of the house was pushed open, and then, the sound of Liang Qiu dancing came.

"An, I heard you come back just now......" As he was speaking, Liang Qiuwu seemed to have noticed Xie An and Jin Ling'er who were naked on the bed, frowned and said, "It's not early, An, get up and go to the back garden with the concubine to practice martial arts, today the concubine will teach you how to punch......"

Auntie, you really don't know how to look at the atmosphere?

Xie An, who was about to fight with Jin Ling'er for three hundred rounds, suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, and at the same time, Jin Ling'er's face, which was originally slightly red because of shyness, was already a little angry, and regardless of the spring on his chest, he scolded angrily, "Tigress, the old lady has endured you several times!" - Push the door and enter, where is your tutor in the Liangqiu family?! ”

"What did you say?" Liang Qiu Wu's eyes flashed with anger when he heard this.

"What are you staring at, do you think the old lady is afraid of you?"

Looking at Jin Ling'er with a little annoyance, Liang Qiuwu took a deep breath, barely suppressed the unhappiness in her heart, looked at Xie An and said softly, "An, the concubine is waiting for ......you in the backyard garden" When she spoke, she glanced at Jin Ling'er intentionally or unintentionally.

Is it a provocation? It's a provocation, right?

Under Xie An's helpless gaze with a secret sigh, Jin Ling'er bit her silver teeth, turned over and sat up, quickly put on her clothes, ran out of the door, and gritted her teeth and said, "Damn, look at how the old lady cleans you up today!" ”

Jin Ling'er is gone, and Xie An obviously has no reason to stay in the empty room anymore.

After a stick of incense, in the backyard of the north wing of the Xie family's mansion, Xie An walked towards the Liangqiu Dance Institute, stung his horse and waved his fist at the air.

And in the open space not far from him, Liang Qiu Wu and Jin Ling'er fists and feet faced each other, and the fight was so difficult that it was difficult to give up.

Yes, yes, Sister Jin is the only master in our family who can barely match you in martial arts, compared to the wooden stake that can't move, it's better to use it as your opponent for morning exercises, but well, you also care about how you feel about being a husband, right?

Come like this every morning, I can't stand it for my husband......

There is also Sister Jin, who keeps saying that she wants to look good to each other, but how can you enjoy it as a husband?

Yes, yes, for my husband to know, you are very uncomfortable to ask you, the top assassin of the Great Zhou, to give up the previous fights and killings, and obediently be the daughter-in-law of the Xie family......

Two stupid women!

"Poof!" A small stone carried by the second girl's fist wind smashed into Xie An's head lightly and heavily, causing the green tendons in Xie An's forehead to jump.

Look, wait for Xiangyu's crazy woman to wake up from her usual nightmare, this house is even more lively!

Just when Xie An was secretly worried that he would not be able to live in the future, thousands of miles away from Jijing, there was a huge cavalry from Yuyang, Youzhou, which was slowly coming in the direction of Jijing......
