――Hongwu 22nd Chinese New Year's Eve, Jijing――

Although Xie An told himself again and again that the wood was already in the boat, and it was useless to force it, the nameless fire in his heart was burning more and more. 78。

In fact, he also knows that there is no such thing as who is right and who is wrong.

Blame Su Wan?

No!

In Guangling for more than a year, Xie An has long understood this woman, she is his savior, gentle and virtuous, if not, how can Xie An always remember?

Especially after more than three months of getting along from Guangling to Jijing, Xie An can almost be said to understand this woman thoroughly.

She is definitely not a woman who loves vanity, she is not so much the daughter of the wealthy Su family in Guangling, but more like an amiable sister next door.

I remember that on the way to Jijing, due to the exhaustion of entanglements and shyness in the pocket, the two of them sometimes did not take the next meal, but she always endured it silently, never asked Xie An for anything, and even secretly hid the food Xie An gave her, and when he was really hungry and couldn't hold on, she would give it to him.

The more difficult the time, the more you can see a person's nature, as a woman, Su Wan is impeccable, and as the daughter of the wealthy Su family in Guangling, she is even more valuable.

Such a good woman is hard to find with a lantern.

Blame Lu Fan, the prince of Nangongfu?

To be honest, putting aside Su Wan's affairs, Xie An felt that Lu Fan was quite a legacy of his ancestors, gentle and elegant, without the slightest shelf of a superior, compared to Han Yi, the son of Han Hong, the Duke of the Western Kingdom, who had just seen him, he was many times better, and he was both civil and military, and he was really a rare handsome man in the Great Zhou.

In all fairness, was it wrong for him to pursue Su Wan?

There are ancient poems, fair ladies and gentlemen, which man doesn't want to marry a beautiful and virtuous wife?

If you want to blame, you can only blame Xie An for thinking about Su Wan's reputation at the beginning, and in order to hide people's eyes, after arriving at Nangong Mansion, he was commensurate with his sister and brother to the outside world. lest anyone think that Su Wan ate and lived with a strange man before she left the cabinet, ruining the atmosphere.

If, at that time, when Nanguo Gong and his son asked about the identities of Xie An and Su Wan, Xie An was cheeky enough to say that Su Wan was her wife. Maybe. None of this will happen again.

The gentleman does not win people's love, and the Lu family, which is highly evaluated by the outside world, wants to pay attention to benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and belief, and the father and son of the Lu family will obviously not do anything to snatch love. As far as Su Wan is concerned, she knows Xie An's feelings for her, and most of them just blushed and lowered her head, acquiescing to this matter.

It can only be said that Xie An thought too thoughtfully. Where would he have thought that it was precisely because he thought too much that he lost Su Wan, the woman he loved, because of this.

Ah, if you have any shortcomings in Su Wan, there is only one...... Gentle and shy, she can't learn to say no to people!

So much so that when the son of the Lu family of Nangong Mansion, who was kind to her Su family, proposed to her, she could only acquiesce.

I have to admit that there are many things in the world that are just such coincidences. In order to take into account Su Wan's reputation, Xie An told the Lu family that they were two sisters and brothers, but he didn't expect that Lu Fan had a love for Su Wan because of this; And Lu Fan happily married Su Wan as his wife, but he was married. had to be ordered by the emperor to lead the army to Luoyang, but on the battlefield, he was killed by a rebel general who was unknown and had more force than Yanhu Ji Liangqiu Wu.

Of course, Xie An at this time. It is not known that Lu Fan, who led the army to the battle, will die in Luoyang, after all, this son of the Nangong Mansion. It was one of the four towns, both civil and military, who would have thought that he would die on the battlefield so easily.

At this moment, Xie An's mind was full of anger about this matter, but in the final analysis, he didn't know who to hate, after all, whether it was Nanguo Gong Lu Song or his son Lu Fan, they were polite to Xie An and Su Wan from beginning to end, and even, when they heard that the Guangling officials framed the Su family's evil deeds, their expressions were so angry that before Xie An and Su Wan pleaded, the Nangong Mansion took over the matter and immediately sent someone to investigate.

Of course, it is also possible that Lu Fan heard that Xie An and Su Wan were sisters and brothers, and secretly had a love for Su Wan, so he was so positive.

But no matter what, Xie An cannot deny that the father and son of the Lu family are good people and gentlemen, otherwise, with the power of the Lu family, one of the four towns in Jijing, it would be too easy to secretly kill Xie An and bully Su Wan as his wife, why did Lu Fan, the prince of Nangongfu, propose to Su Wan with a red face and show his love?

"Damn!"

Watching Su Wan's carriage slowly leave in the night, Xie An kicked the snow under his feet fiercely.

His anger was not out of hatred, but out of unwillingness, he felt that the whole thing was too coincidental, obviously it was just for Su Wan's reputation, how could he lose this beloved woman instead?

Thinking of this, the nameless fire in Xie An's heart burned more and more, and it was out of control, and he didn't think about it, so he threw out the basket in his hand, including the basket in the basket, which was gradually cooling, and was almost frozen as hard as a stone.

At this moment, on the other side of the street, a young man was galloping on a horse......

"Smack!"

The basket thrown out and the frozen steamed buns in the basket were cleverly thrown in the young man's face, and only a scream was heard, and the man and his horse fell to the ground, slid on the slippery surface for several feet, and then crashed headlong into the snowdrift under the trees on the side of the road.

There is no doubt that this unlucky ghost is the ninth son of Li Ji, the son of the Great Zhou Dynasty, King Anle, Li Shou, and the most iron-clad buddy and brother after Xie An.

Of course, at the moment, Li Shou has not yet met Xie An, and he is rushing from the birthday banquet of the Xigong Mansion to his own palace.

When Xie An was clever outside the gate of Xigongfu, he begged for a basket of longevity food and five taels of silver from Xixiang Hou Han Yi, Li Shou was in the Xigongfu Mansion, and was ridiculed by the crown prince Li Wei, who also came to celebrate his birthday.

It is conceivable that Li Shou at this moment, how angry and angry he is in his heart, he just wants to return to his palace as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that even so, there will be people looking for trouble for him on the way.

"In the middle of the night, what the hell are you madman? Impatient?! ”

While wiping the snow and filth on his head and face, Li Shou struggled to get up from the ground and said the first words to his most iron-clad buddy brother Xie An.

And what's worse is that Xie An at this moment is also full of anger because of Su Wan's matter.

Originally, seeing that he was in trouble, he was also a little weak-hearted, and hesitated to apologize to Li Shou, but when he heard Li Shou's words full of anger. The anger that he couldn't suppress in his heart was suddenly provoked and scolded.

"You're crazy, your whole family is crazy!"

"......" may not have expected Xie An to dare to scold himself and scold him so harshly. Li Shou was stunned. The sluggish sè on his face was stunned for a while, and then he reacted.

In the final analysis, he is also a gentleman with good manners. Fang Cai just encountered an unwarranted disaster, and was mocked by the crown prince Li Wei in every way in the Xigong Mansion, so he couldn't help but scold, but he didn't expect to meet a person who was more angry than him.

"You...... What happened? If you didn't mean to, just apologize. Ben Wang ......"

Li Shou wanted to say that as long as Xie An apologized, he wouldn't blame Xie An too much, however, he was interrupted by Xie An before he could finish his words.

"Apologize?" Some Xie An, who was carried away by anger, scolded without thinking about it, "Lao Tzu is the one who smashed you!" ”

"You!" Li Shouwan never thought that he would speak well, but he was treated so rudely by the other party, and he trembled with anger. Pointing at Xie An with his right hand, he said with a look of disbelief, "You...... How dare you say such a thing? You're not afraid ......."

"Afraid of what? How? You still dare to hit someone?! Interrupting the other party's words, Xie An shouted with a thick neck.

In all fairness, Li Shou used to be a powerless and disgraced prince. At present, he is also an idle prince with no power and no power, who recites poems and paints in his mansion in a regular manner, delves into the scriptures of poetry, and never causes trouble.

But now rì. He couldn't help it, he was already angry with the mockery of the crown prince Li Wei. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and gave Xie An a punch in his left eye, which made Xie An's eyes glow.

"You think I wouldn't dare? - Open your eyes wide and see who I am! Li Shou scolded angrily.

"I don't care who you are!" After scolding, Xie An also raised his right fist and hit Li Shou hard in the eye, causing Li Shou to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

"You...... You actually hit me? Li Shou's expression was already surprisingly angry, and it was incredibly that there was a faint look in his eyes like a madman.

Also, in the final analysis, he is also the identity of the prince, although he is not favored by today's son, but no one dares to beat him, even if the crown prince Li Wei is just verbally insulting Li Shou, he doesn't dare to beat.

After all, the crown prince Li Wei is not a fool, and he doesn't want to go to the Zongren Mansion because of Li Shou, it's not worth it.

"What's wrong with beating you? You're the only one to do? Joke! Scolding angrily, with the mentality of breaking the can, Xie An pounced violently.

And Li Shou obviously didn't show weakness, so the two guys, who were also full of anger, scuffled with each other and rolled on the snow.

On the thirtieth day of the second Chinese New Year's Eve in the Great Zhou, Xie An celebrated this celebratory festival by beating each other with his close friend Li Shou on the snow in the street.

But unfortunately, he was tragically defeated, and Li Shou, who was essentially polite, knocked Xie An unconscious with a punch full of anger and won the final victory.

It's no wonder, after all, Li Shou is one year older than Xie An, although he is pampered and pampered, his hand strength is not weak, and Xie An, this guy hasn't eaten enough for several days, before Su Wan came, he only ate half a steamed bun, and he was weak, so he was Li Shou's opponent.

――Back to today's time, in a certain mountain outside the capital of Jijing, in front of the grave of Fu Bo, the old housekeeper of Anle Wangfu.

"Giggles......

When Li Shou said that he knocked Xie An unconscious to the ground with one punch, the eldest grandson Xiangyu was so smiling that he could barely straighten his waist.

Not far from the side, Wang Dan, who has always been steady, couldn't hide the smile on his face, couldn't help laughing, and even Li Shou's introverted and shy wife Wang hugged his son Li Yu and lowered his head to cover his mouth and snickered.

Looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Xie Anxin was quite depressed.

You must know that since coming to Da Zhou, in Xie Anxinzhong's humiliating book, he was punched to the point of coma by Li Shou, which was a troublesome matter in the third article.

The previous one was when I met the eldest grandson Xiangyu for the first time, and I was teased by this woman.

The previous one, that is, after doing that to Liang Qiu Wu in the first place, when Liang Qiu Wu glared at him with angry and murderous eyes, and even when he held the sharp sword and glared at his smooth lower body, he actually had weak legs, sat on the ground, and almost peed his pants in fright.

So much so that it has been more than a long time. When Xie An had sex with Liang Qiuwu, when one of his little brothers knocked on the door of the female tiger's lower body, he still had a sense of trance like a dream.

Now that I think about it, the reason why Xie An's first few rì in the Donggong Mansion were so unbearable. It is very likely that it is the psychological barrier left by that time.

Straight to the point. In fact, the reason why Xie An was very reluctant to talk about this matter, in addition to Su Wan's factor, was the fight between him and Li Shou, before telling it. He knew that these people would make fun of him, and he had already been mentally prepared, but he didn't feel ashamed.

However, when he saw the eldest grandson Xiangyu smiling so exaggeratedly, and even laughed out of tears, Xie An felt a little uncomfortable. In particular, Li Shou still has a victorious posture.

"Less proud! ――If I hadn't been hungry for days at that time, you would have won? ”

Looking at Xie An's indignant gaze, Li Shou smiled, with a little joy and childlike naughtiness, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Losing is losing, winning is win......" As he spoke, he paused, and saw Xie An's depressed face. said with a smile, "Okay, be content, that one, this king didn't dare to go out for half a month!" ”

"Am I not?" Xie An pursed his lips. Then he seemed to think of it, and said in shock, "Anyway, you were really ruthless at the beginning, and you can even use such a shameless trick as grabbing your hair?" -- And biting. Right? ”

"Shameless tricks?" It seemed that he had noticed the stunned gaze of his wife Wang, and Li Shou's face was slightly red. Indignantly, he said, "If you don't steal peaches, this king will bite you?" ”

"Stealing peaches?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu blinked in confusion and asked suspiciously, "What is that?" ”

Even the thick-skinned Xie An was a little red by the words of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and said vaguely, "Stealing peaches is stealing peaches......"

"......" The eldest grandson Xiangyu looked at Xie An suspiciously, and then looked at Li Shou, but saw that Li Shou was also full of embarrassment, and she turned her head to look at Wang Dan with all kinds of curiosity in her heart.

To be honest, Wang Dan actually didn't understand it very well, but seeing that Xie An and Li Shou were so embarrassed, he thought about it in his heart, but he guessed it somewhat, and he couldn't laugh or cry, he secretly admired Xie An's courage at that time, and his Royal Highness's fortune was great, and he was able to give birth to a son after such a vicious trick.

"Cough, didn't Lord Xie explain, or stole peaches......" Seeing the eldest Sun Xiangyu looking at himself intently, a thin layer of sweat oozed from Wang Dan's forehead, and he subconsciously looked away, but saw that the princess of his Royal Highness was also looking at him with a puzzled look, the sweat on his forehead flowed more diligently, and he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "What about later?" Could it be that His Royal Highness saw that Lord Xie was unconscious, so he kindly took him back to the house? ”

Before Li Shou could speak, Xie An pursed his lips and mocked, "Kind? Would this guy be so kind? ”

Glancing at Xie An, Li Shou said angrily, "If it were you, would you?" - This king was originally angry, and on the way back to the house, he met such a madman as you, and he couldn't do it first, and he fought with this king, and this king was polite if he didn't kill you! ”

Seeing Xie An and Li Shou staring at each other, Wang Dan was stunned, hesitated for a while, turned his head to look at the tombstone, and suddenly realized, "Could it be this old man?" ”

Wang Dan's words seemed to have an inexplicable effect, which made Xie An and Li Shou gradually calm down during the quarrel, and when they glanced at each other, their eyes invariably revealed a little nostalgia and reminiscence, as well as a little sadness.

"Ah, it's Fu Bo...... nodded, Li Shou sighed and said, "That's rì, Fu Bo saw that I didn't go back to the palace for a long time, so he came to me with a lantern along the way, halfway, he and I never bumped into it, but he saw this guy, yes, Fu Bo carried this kid back to the palace......"

Just now, Xie An would probably argue with him because of the tone in Li Shou's words, but right now, he obviously didn't have this mood, and he grabbed his hair pretendedly, and he didn't know what to think about.

Looking at Li Shou and Xie An, Wang Dan also realized his recklessness, diverted the topic, and said with a smile, "According to His Highness and Lord Xie, His Highness and Lord Xie didn't seem to be so friendly at first?" ”

"Of course!" Glancing at Xie An, Li Shou deliberately pretended to be indignant, and said, "Mr. Wang doesn't know, at the beginning, if it wasn't for Fu Bo, this king would have been eager to kick this kid out of the house!" ”

"Hey!" Xie An pouted and smiled, with a look of disdain.

"Then how did His Highness and Lord Xie become so close to each other as they do now?" Wang Dan asked in surprise.

Li Shou smiled slightly, glanced back at Xie An, and said, "Do you still have it?" ”

"Of course!" Xie An pursed his lips and smiled, then looked at Wang Dan and blinked, and said, "Brother Wang, aren't you also there?" ”

"What about rì?" A little consternation appeared on Wang Dan's face, he stroked his beard and thought about it carefully, and suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Could it be that the King of Qiuyang entered the capital to see His Majesty, and His Majesty asked the prince to preside over the feast and hold a feast in the main mansion of the Great Si Nong Sect?" ”

"Not bad!" Xie An smiled, then pretended to arch his hand towards Wang Dan, and said with a smile, "Brother Wang, that one, the little brother has conceded ......."

Wang Dan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, shook his head and sighed and said, "I, Wang Dan, boast of being full of poetry and books, and have traveled thousands of miles to Jijing, seeking a career and glorifying the lintel...... That rì, Lord Xie told Wang to completely understand what it means to have a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world......"

"Brother Wang has won the award...... Xie An arched his hand humbly, but he couldn't help but recall that in his mind, after all, not only did he show his face in front of the officials in Jijing that time, but also established such a deep friendship with Li Shou.

I don't know if my level of writing about war has regressed, and I always feel a little weak
