"In the past two days, our general doesn't seem to be in a good mood......"

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

"I don't know very well, but I've heard that after our general returned to Boling, he has been locking himself in the house and sullen......"

"Could it be that yesterday's raid didn't go very well? - That's not right! Yesterday, I heard from my brothers that our Eastern Army attacked and plundered the camp of the Northern Xinjiang Army for the second time, but it returned with a complete victory! ”

"I don't know ...... this."

"Could it be our aunt's side? That's not right! Didn't our uncle already destroy Li Shen, the king of Qin? Your Majesty's Chrysostom canonized our aunt as the Marquis of Anping, and our general couldn't close his mouth happily for several days......"

One afternoon, in Boling City, many soldiers of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army whispered during the meal, and they vaguely noticed that the head of the family and general they were loyal to, that is, Liang Qiuwu, the twelfth generation head of the Liangqiu family, seemed to have become extremely anxious because of something, and the battle against the Northern Xinjiang Army became extremely fierce, and once the Northern Xinjiang Army, which far exceeded their strength in the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army, was completely arrogant.

It stands to reason that it is a good thing that his own general is so brave, but the problem is that as soon as Liang Qiuwu returned to Boling, he locked himself in his room, and he didn't want to inspect the situation of the sergeants and soldiers of the army as usual, which made the soldiers of the Eastern Army feel a little surprised.

Therefore, taking the opportunity to take a break from eating, many Eastern sergeants sat around and whispered. After all, for the situation of Liangqiu Dance, the Eastern Army Sergeant was extremely worried.

"For this thing...... I know something! ”

Looking left and right, a sergeant of the Eastern Army lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "But don't let the brothers spread it......"

"You know? Speak up, talk fast! ”

Raising his hand to reassure the impatient brothers, the soldier lowered his voice and said, "Actually. Our general is sullen, not because the battle situation on our side or my uncle's side is not good, but because of ...... Our general received a letter from home......"

"Family letters?" The sergeants of Zhongdong looked at each other.

"Ahh The soldier licked his lips and said in a low voice, "This family letter is not from our aunt's hand, but from the second room chief Sun ......"

"Oh oh......" The Eastern Sergeant nodded in realization. After all, the disagreement between Liang Qiuwu and the eldest grandson Xiangyu is clear in the hearts of the Eastern Sergeants.

"The woman...... Ahem, did the second-room lady say anything unpleasant to our general this time? An uncle, who looked to be nearly thirty, asked with displeasure on his face.

"That's not ......," the soldier shook his head and said in a mysterious and mysterious voice, "According to Adjutant General Xiang, there is only one ......portrait in the letter from the second lady to our general," he said, lowering his voice a few more times, and muttered a few words. I only heard the nearby Zhongdong sergeants gasp in shock.

"What...... What the? ”

"The eldest son...... Isn't that the son of the world? Our general...... It's not a good situation......"

"Not really! - That second lady is so despicable! took advantage of the fact that our general was leading the troops outside......"

"Damn! Unexpectedly...... was actually pulled out by the lady of the second room......"

"General......

"Alas......"

The first cadre of the Eastern Army had a bit of the same hatred for the enemy, and they were all gearing up, only to see Yan Kai, the head of the four generals of the Eastern Army in the Liangqiu Dance Patrol Army, crying and laughing.

"Xiang Qing, that bastard......" Yan Kai shook his head angrily and funny, in fact, he already knew what the soldiers were talking about, and he had also warned those in the know not to talk about it in private, especially Xiang Qing. After all, this guy's mouth has never been strict, and he always likes to gossip with the East Sergeants under his command.

But what Yan Kai didn't expect was. Although he had told him like this, Xiang Qing still couldn't help but reveal this shocking news to some of the Eastern Army soldiers.

Well, as we all know, the Eastern Sergeants are like brothers, and as long as one of them learns about it, within a moment, it will inevitably spread throughout the whole army. After all, this is a matter related to the Liangqiu Dance that they admire in their hearts, and the Eastern Sergeant thinks that everyone cares.

Sure enough, it was just a meal, and Xie An's second wife, the eldest grandson Xiangyu, was happy to give birth to her eldest son, and deliberately sent a book to show off to Liang Qiuwu. It really spread throughout the entire Eastern Army, making the 20,000 Eastern Army soldiers happy and relieved, and expressing strong contempt for the behavior of the Changsun clan that would seriously hit their generals.

But having said that, Yan Kai has no prejudice against the fact that the eldest grandson Xiangyu gave birth to a son in Jingzhou Lingling, after all, as we all know, the heirs born by Liang Qiu Dance in the future will inherit the surname Liang Qiu and inherit the surname Liang Qiu, so there is no contradiction or dispute between Liang Qiu Dance and the eldest grandson Xiangyu on the issue of the son.

The problem is only ......

"On the contrary, is it easier to give birth to the eldest grandson with a weak body? - It's weird......"

Yan Kai touched his chin and muttered, after all, he always felt that after Jin Ling'er, it should be Liang Qiuwu, the head of the family they were loyal to, who was pregnant first.

And at this moment, Yan Kai suddenly heard a question from behind him.

"What's weird?"

Hearing that familiar voice, Yan Kai's face changed slightly, turned around and looked at Liang Qiuwu, who came behind him at some point, coughed, and said quietly, "Hmm...... The reaction of the Northern Frontier Army, yes, it was the reaction of the Northern Frontier Army! -- Our army has frequently attacked the military camps in northern Xinjiang these days, and the gang under Li Mao's command can still endure it, which is really a bit strange! As he spoke, he deliberately raised his voice, after all, the soldiers of the Eastern Army who did not notice Liang Qiuwu's arrival and were still whispering with Tong Ze were definitely not in the minority.

"Oh......" Liang Qiuwu nodded suddenly in realization, and then said with a straight face, "What Brother Yan said is reasonable, although our army has slightly weakened the spirit of the Northern Xinjiang Army, it should not be underestimated!" ”

"Yes!" Seeing that he had passed the test in a daze, Yan Xingxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists and said, "I don't know what the general is here ......."

Liang Qiuwu sighed slightly when she heard this, frowned and said, "I have been disturbed by a certain annoying incident in the past two days, and I have not paid attention to the situation of the officers and soldiers in the army, I am uneasy, and I came to see ...... today" As she spoke, she looked around, greeting the soldiers of Zhongdong from time to time.

In all fairness, Liang Qiu Dance is so approachable and pays attention to the situation of his corporals from time to time. Yan was really relieved when he was happy.

Merely......

[Not quite a good fit here right now......]

Yan Kai swallowed his saliva slightly uneasily.

At this moment, a soldier in the distance suddenly raised his arms and shouted.

"Support the general!"

Liang Qiuwu glanced at the soldier inexplicably, and from the side, Yan Kai secretly screamed that it was not good.

Probably awakened by the soldier's cry, the nearby Eastern Army soldiers woke up like a dream and raised their arms and shouted.

"Support the general! Support the General! ”

"Don't be discouraged, general!"

"Support the general! Angry with the eldest grandson! ”

"......" Yan Kai reached out and patted his forehead. secretly looked at Liang Qiuwu's expression beside him, but saw that the latter was first dazed, then flushed, and finally trembled with anger.

"Item-Qing-!!"

A roar of gnashing teeth spit out word by word from the mouth of a heroine named Yan Hu Ji, accompanied by the shouts of the Eastern Sergeants, which shocked the Northern Xinjiang Army camp hundreds of miles away, and even Youdou, who was the commander of the First Army, came out of the tent with a shocked face.

"Eastern Army...... Morale is unexpectedly high...... Is it because of the number of defeats of our army? - Well, I really have to avoid the edge for a while! ”

Shocked by the morale of the Eastern Army, Youdou nodded thoughtfully.

-- At the same time. Jijing――

Because of the relationship between Li Mao, the king of Yan, who waved his army south to persecute Jijing, the security guard in Jijing at this moment is more severe than in the past. It is extremely rare for the Nanzhen Fu Division under the jurisdiction of the Great Prison Temple, the Patrol Division under the Weiwei Temple, and the Northern Army Janissary under the jurisdiction of the Guanglu Temple to appear in the city at the same time.

I remember that four years ago, Jin Ling'er single-handedly stirred up the entire Jijing into turmoil, which caused the anger of Li Ji Longyan, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time, and ordered the Great Prison Temple, Weiwei Temple, and Guanglu Temple, which were responsible for the security of the Jingshi [Jinggi Three Lieutenants], to arrest the murderer. In addition to this incident, there are very few incidents in the capital of Hebei where the three lieutenants and yamen have joined forces to stabilize law and order and maintain vigilance.

"Gollum-"

A horse-drawn carriage drove from the alley of Chaoyang Street. It is not difficult to see from the wooden tassel ornaments hanging at the four corners of the carriage that this is the carriage of Sun Jing, the chief of the military department of the Jijing Imperial Court.

Raising his hand to lift the curtain of the car window, the eldest grandson Jing stared intently at the people on both sides of the street, and saw that the people were still smiling. He nodded slowly.

[The army of Li Mao, the fourth son of the emperor, has been pressing the border for several months, but the people of the capital can still be so calm...... Thanks to the little girl from the Liangqiu family sitting in Boling, blocking the Northern Xinjiang Heroes! - Very good! ]

Exhaling lightly, Changsun Jing lowered the curtain of the car and thought in his heart.

[Rebellion of the Three Kings.] has been pacified by his son-in-law Xie An's troops, and now that kid is turning to Jiangdong to conquer Wu Heng's Taiping army in Jiangdong, as long as he can eradicate this rebellious army left over from the Southern Tang Dynasty as soon as possible, lead the army back to the dynasty, and the siege of Jijing will be resolved! -- The question now is, will Jijing be able to survive until that time? ]

Eldest Sun Jing closed his eyes and pondered.

You must know that although Li Mao's army confronted Liangqiu Dance in Boling, and it seems that Liangqiu Dance has the advantage in the current situation, Changsun Jing knows very well that the reason why the Northern Frontier Army is inferior is because they did not launch a real offensive against Boling, after all, the deep winter season is really not suitable for conquest, at least not for siege warfare. The reason why Xie An fought with Qin King Li Shen in winter was just out of desperation, after all, if he couldn't solve Qin King Li Shen before the year, it would inevitably lead to Wu Heng in Jiangdong forming a situation that was difficult to clean up after getting enough respite.

[When the spring flowers bloom and the ice and snow melt, the Northern Frontier Army may launch a real offensive against Boling......]

Changsun Jing, who knew about this matter, sighed secretly in his heart.

At this time, the carriage stopped with a grunt, and it turned out that Changsun Jing had returned to his own mansion.

Slowly stepping off the carriage, the secretary of the military department of the dynasty was stunned, because he found that in front of his house, there was a carriage with a rather elegant decoration. Walking up and taking a look at the ornaments hanging on the top of the carriage, Changsun Jing was surprised to find that there was a [Xie] character engraved on it.

The carriage of the princely specifications is also a wooden plate with the word [Xie], and there is only one copy in the entire Jijing, that is his eldest grandson Jing's son-in-law, the Criminal Department of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xie An.

But the problem is that the son-in-law who seems to be rough and leafy, but is actually quite capable, should be leading the army to Jiangdong to deal with Wu Heng of the Taiping Army. Even the little girl from the Liangqiu family is now guarding in Boling, who is riding the carriage of the Xie Mansion to visit his eldest grandson's family?

"Who is coming to my son-in-law's house?"

Crossing the gate of the mansion, the eldest grandson Jing called the family guarding the door and asked softly.

"Returning to the master, it is Mrs. Yiyi in the uncle's mansion......"

[Mrs. Yiyi...... It turned out to be the little girl......]

"Oh......" Eldest Sun Jing nodded in realization. After all, he also knew more or less that when Xie An, Liang Qiuwu, Jin Ling'er, and his daughter eldest grandson Xiangyu were not in Jijing, the current criminal department in the city, Shangshu Xie Mansion, was run by Yiyi alone.

"What is that little girl doing in my house?" Brushing his beard, the eldest grandson thought for a moment, muttered and walked towards the hall of the mansion.

As he walked, Changsun Jing suddenly heard a cheer of surprise from the direction of the hall, and then, his very precious young son, Changsun Sheng, ran out of the hall with a happy face.

"I'm an uncle. I'm an uncle, hahaha, I'm an uncle......"

Suddenly, Eldest Sun Jing's face sank, and he coughed heavily.

"Ahem!"

Hearing that heavy cough, Changsun Sheng trembled, raised his head in fear, and only then did he notice that it was his old-fashioned and stubborn father in front of him. His face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly lowered his head. Bow your hand

"Father...... Father...... The child has seen his father......"

"Hmm!" Eldest Sun Jing snorted and rebuked unhappily, "My son is now serving as an editor in the Yutang Bureau, although he is an official of the Nine Grades, but he also has to pay attention to the appearance and posture of the official, how can he be as unscrupulous as those naughty children in the world?" ”

Editing. It is a special civil official position in the Yutang Department of the Hanlin Academy in the imperial court, and he participates in the revision of national history and legal codes on weekdays. And the editor refers to the subordinates of the editor and the civil official. In addition to serving tea and pouring water, he will also participate in some irrelevant repairs to documents. To put it bluntly, this is an official position to increase seniority and knowledge, and it is dedicated to giving preferential treatment to the children of a family like Changsun Sheng, who are talented and intelligent and will become great in the future, but are not yet enough to hold important positions in the court.

"Yes, father, the child has been taught...... "The eldest grandson admitted his mistake in a proper manner.

"Hmm!" Eldest Sun Jing nodded with satisfaction, he was quite satisfied with this only son who was admitted to the palace examination at a young age.

"That'...... The child quit first......"

"Wait!" Raising his hand and calling out to his son, Eldest Sun Jing frowned and asked, "Just now you said that you want to be an uncle, what do you mean?" ”

"This ...... This father will know when he enters the hall, ......" As he spoke, Changsun Sheng secretly looked at his father's expression, and his eyes were filled with bursts of joy that could not be concealed.

glanced at his son in surprise, and the eldest grandson Jing didn't ask, Gu Zi walked into the hall, only to see that in the hall, his wife Chang was pulling his son-in-law Xie An's fourth lady Yiyi, and said something with a warm and happy face.

"Ahem!" Eldest Sun Jing coughed lightly.

Hearing the familiar cough, Chang turned his head and saw that his husband had returned, so he quickly stood up and said with a look of eagerness and joy, "Master, master, great joy, great joy!" ”

"What's the shouting? - The young are like this, and the old are like this, what kind of system has it become?! Nodding back to Yiyi, who saluted him, Eldest Sun Jing frowned and reprimanded.

Because he was familiar with his husband's one-sided personality, Chang didn't care, he still held his husband's right sleeve, and said happily, "Xiangyu, Xiangyu, she gave birth to a son......

"Humph!" Hearing this, Eldest Sun Jing snorted lightly, took the tea handed by the maid, and said lightly, "That perverse girl, is she also a mother now?" ”

It can be seen that this lord of the military department of the dynasty is quite calm, even if he learns that his daughter has given birth to a son, he is not shocked and calm.

It's no wonder, after all, Changsun Jing is also the minister of the dynasty, and he just got a hint from his son Changsun Sheng, so even if Mrs. Chang said such good news, she was calm.

It's a pity that the joy in Changsun Jing's eyes that is desperately hidden can't be hidden from his wife who has been with him for more than ten years.

Funny and angry, he looked at his husband, Chang covered his mouth and teased, "The master is really insincere, obviously happy in his heart......"

"Hu ...... Nonsense! Probably because the relationship was broken by his wife, Changsun Jing's face turned slightly red, and he said unhappily with a thick neck, "I am pregnant, I don't cultivate well at home, I sneaked out of Jingshi, and now I have a child outside...... What's more, such good news...... Cough! For such a big event, he didn't send a letter to his parents, and he had to entrust someone to do it on his behalf...... Outrageous! - No respect! As he spoke, he slapped the table and walked away.

[Sure enough, you care, don't you?] Xiangyu didn't send a book to tell you the good news......]

Glancing at the back of Changsun Jing who was leaving angrily, Chang shook his head helplessly.

In fact, she also knows that even with her son-in-law Xie An as a bridge of communication between the two sides, the relationship between the father and daughter of the eldest grandson Jing and the eldest grandson Xiangyu is still so tense. So much so that now the eldest grandson Xiangyu has given birth to a son in Lingling, Jingzhou, and sent a book to Boling to show off to the Liangqiu dance, and sent a book to Jijing Xie Mansion to report the good news to Yiyi, but only did not send the book to the eldest grandson's family, and finally had to bother Yiyi to convey the good news.

"Lord Eldest Sun, he ......" Seeing Eldest Sun Jing brushing his sleeves away, Yi Yi's face showed a little sadness, and explained softly, "Although Sister Xiangyu has never sent a letter to your mansion, she specially instructed the slave family in her heart to ask the slave family to go to your mansion......"

"The concubine understands, the concubine understands." As if seeing the uneasiness in Yiyi's heart, Chang slapped her hand, covered his mouth and said with a smile, "His father and daughter, one temper, in fact, the resentment in his heart has long disappeared, but no one wants to show favor to the other party first...... Don't look at my old man, he seems to be angry, in fact, his heart is happy at the moment! In a few moments, I will go to the concubine's father-in-law to report the good news......"

Before the words fell, the loud voice of Changsun Jing came from the courtyard.

"Ah Quan, prepare the car!"

"Didn't the master just return home? ――Don't you eat first? ”

"No, I have something important to go to my father!"

"Look......" Chang winked at Yiyi.

Yi Yi covered his mouth and chuckled, and bowed his hand and said, "In this case, the slave family retired first......

"Save, save. - Then you should be careful all the way...... Yiyi, thank you for coming here to tell me the great news......"

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

After bidding farewell to the Chang family, Yi Yi stepped out of the palace of the chief of the military department.

Glancing back at the mansion and listening to the bursts of joy in the mansion, Yi Yi chuckled lightly, and a trace of loss flashed in his eyes.

It's no wonder, after all, now that his husband Xie An's mansion is the only one who runs the house independently, how can this make her not feel lonely and lost?

[I don't know what the husband's current situation is...... It is said that after the war, Li Shen, the king of Qin, had to rush to Jiangdong immediately, and he was tired of carriages and horses, and he didn't know if he had eaten on time every day...... My husband has never been to Jingzhou, so I don't know if I can adapt to the climate there...... Although there is a woman named Qin Keer who takes care of her, can that woman understand her husband's temperament? But take care of it? And also......

Conquest of the Jiangdong Taiping Army......]

With all these worries and concerns swirling in her mind, Yi Yi sighed faintly.

"Go home!"

"Huh? - Fourth Madam, didn't you just say you were going to the market? The groom asked in surprise.

"No! The concubine wants to go back and write a letter to the concubine's brother in Jiangdong, but I don't know if he will obey ......"

"Obedience? -- The first time I heard that the fourth lady also has a brother in Koto......"

"Hehe, yes......"

"I don't know what the fourth lady's brother does?"

"Well......" Iyi smiled reluctantly.

[The court offered a reward of 20,000 taels of gold, regardless of life or death.] A descendant of the Ram clan of the old minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, one of the most important generals under the command of Wu Heng, the fourth generation commander of the Taiping Army, and the second-generation Tianshu god general who holds more than 10,000 military powers, withered sheep! ]

Yi Yi really can't say such words. (To be continued......)
