When stepping through the gate of the Donggong Mansion, Xie An was still a little puzzled.

He couldn't figure out how he could suddenly explode in the small universe just now, and the woman was speechless.

To be honest, he was full of fear for the woman named Changsun Xiangyu.

Ah, it's fear, the fear of Liangqiu dance is different, when facing his fiancée, it is undeniable that Xie An is still a little afraid, after all, his fiancée is both strict and powerful, but she is very upright, and she is so upright that even Xie An, who has a somewhat frivolous personality, feels a little uncomfortable.

But the eldest grandson Xiangyu is different, as Liang Qiuwu said, this woman is too dangerous, her eyes are the kind of eyes that seem to be full of disappointment and disgust for the world, simply put, this kind of person will not be bound by morality, etiquette, and even family affection may be difficult to affect her, no one knows what she is thinking under her seemingly harmless smile.

Thinking that this woman almost made the kingdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty a gladiatorial arena for the two princes to fight in order to relieve her boredom, Xie An vaguely felt a chill behind her.

However, when he thought of the explosion of the small universe just now, he used the common sense that everyone in the future knew to ask the woman who claimed to know everything about the world and was speechless, Xie An felt a little proud.

"Suddenly, I feel like I'm actually quite shameless! - Hey! I'm really embarrassed......" Scratching his head, Xie An smiled and praised himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, a chuckle came from behind him.

"I've seen myself boasting about myself, but I've never seen anyone praising myself for being shameless...... There's a set, brother! ”

"Huh?" Xie An, who didn't notice that there was someone behind him, subconsciously turned his head and looked at Xiang Qing who was looking at him with a teasing gaze in surprise.

"Third brother?" Because of the best relationship with Xiang Qing, Xie An even saved his surname.

On the other hand, Xiang Qing, his gaze when he looked Xie An up and down seemed a little strange.

"Looking at my brother's look, it seems that he is doing well......"

"That's it, eat well, sleep well......" Xie An smiled and said, "How has the third brother been doing these two days?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Xiang Qing's face suddenly lengthened, revealing an indignant look, and said in a stumbling tone, "Do you really want to know?" ”

Glancing at Xiang Qing, Xie An instinctively felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but take a step back, and said, "Suddenly, I don't want to listen to it much......

"You don't want to hear me!" Glaring at Xie An viciously, Xiang Qing put his arms around his shoulders, as if like a woman who had been insulted, and said aggrievedly, "Brother yesterday and today, it was really miserable, just in order to fulfill the agreement with my brother on that day, I had a meal with my brother, and my brother has stripped off his arms and transported hundreds of stones of grain and grass with his brothers in the past two days, and he can't even lift his hands, and every brother under his hands is a ...... who doesn't complain."

"What does this have to do with me......" Xie An struggled a little weakly, but he had already guessed the reason in his heart.

"Dare you say it has nothing to do with you?" Xiang Qing glared at Xie An viciously, and was about to continue pouring bitter water, when suddenly, an indifferent voice came from beside him.

"The general told me to wait for the team to go to the house to discuss matters, the time is about to be missed!"

"Huh?" Xie An was stunned, and then he noticed that behind Xiang Qing, there was a man who was wearing exactly the same armor as Xiang Qing as the deputy general of the Shenwu Battalion, who was slightly one or two years older than Xie An, and looked very handsome, but there was no expression on his face, as if someone else owed him thirty-five or eighty-thousand.

"Xiaochao, don't be so unhappy!" Xiang Qing complained angrily, and after noticing the surprise in Xie An's eyes, he introduced, "Luo Chao, we all call him Xiaochao, he is the last of the four generals of the Shenwu Battalion that my brother has not seen so far, a few years older than my brother, my brother just calls him Fourth Brother Luo, he is not an outsider......"

"Fourth Brother Luo!" Xie An shouted with a smile, after all, did he know that the four deputy generals of the Shenwu Battalion, their ancestors and fathers were all generals of the Liangqiu family, not so much the generals under Liangqiu Wu, but her elder brother's generation, don't look at Liangqiu Dance on weekdays, they are also Brother Yan, Third Brother Xiang?

But to my disappointment, this fourth brother Luo Chaoluo also seemed to have a lot of opinions on him, but he bowed his head slightly, and his expression was very cold.

Perhaps noticing the strange look in Xie An's eyes, Xiang Qing chuckled lightly and explained, "Brother misunderstood, your fourth brother Luo is not targeting you, he is also ...... to others" Saying, he lowered his voice and said in Xie An's ear, "This guy is a freak, happy and sad, and the expression on his face will not change, oh, by the way, if you are lucky to change your name, go and see what he looks like when he laughs, keep you scared ......"

"I can hear you!" Luo Chao interrupted expressionlessly on the side, his tone fluctuated slightly compared to Fang Cai, but his expression was as calm and indifferent as before.

"Ha, ha......" Xiang Qing scratched his head in a sneering manner, changed his tone, and said to Xie An again, "Brother, don't make you Fourth Brother Luo angry, his marksmanship is second to none in my Shenwu Battalion!" Now he is also the head of the battalion training soldiers, and in terms of exquisite marksmanship, even the third brother is not an opponent! Alas, although he is a little unwilling, he is more trusted by the young lady in the camp than the third brother and the eldest brother Yan, and the brother is also surprised, right? ”

"No, not at all!" Xie An shook his head calmly.

"Huh?" Xiang Qing looked at Xie An in astonishment, and was about to speak, when his expression suddenly moved, and he turned his head to look in the direction of the mansion gate.

Xie An followed his gaze and happened to bump into Yan Kai and Chen Gang striding into the house.

Originally, Chen Gang was laughing with Yan Kai, but when he saw Xie An, the expression on his face suddenly sank, and his right hand subconsciously held the saber on his waist, and Xie An hurriedly hid behind Xiang Qing in fright.

"Brother Yan, Second Brother Chen......" Xie An called with a sneering face.

Yan Kai said hello to Xie An with a smile, but Chen Gang looked at Xie An's gaze, but he was still the fierce and fierce one who chose people, and Xie An shuddered.

After a few brief greetings, the four generals walked into the front yard with Xie An, and under the guidance of Yi Yi, who had been waiting in the front hall for a long time, they came to the side hall where the guests were received.

As soon as he stepped into the side hall, Xie An noticed that Liang Qiu Wu was already standing at the door of the side hall and waiting, and when he saw Xie An, Liang Qiu Wu's eyes showed a little surprise, as if he was a little surprised that Xie An obediently returned home before sunset.

"General!" The four generals all hugged their fists, their expressions were very solemn, and even Xie An couldn't help but learn their movements and hugged their fists, which made Liang Qiu Wu and Yi Yi feel a little funny in their eyes.

"It's not in the barracks right now, so there's no need to be so restrained, the four brothers, please sit ......down," Liang Qiuwu raised his hand and beckoned the four generals to take the seat.

"Thank you, Miss!" The four generals smiled slightly, and they were not polite, so they took their seats.

At this time, Liang Qiuwu turned his head to look at Xie An, and said softly, "An, you also sit, I'm sorry, I thought you wouldn't come back on time like this, that's why I didn't ask the cook to prepare wine and food...... Well, then, you sit down with me! ”

"Uh, that's not a good fit, is it?" Under Chen Gang's murderous gaze, Xie An sneered, "You seem to be discussing something important, and it seems a little inappropriate for me to be present......

It's inappropriate, didn't you stupid woman see that Second Brother Chen was looking at me with that fierce gaze?!

Obviously, Liang Qiuwu does not have the ability to observe words and emotions like the eldest grandson Xiangyu, seeing Xie An say this, she smiled slightly and said, "None of you here are outsiders, and neither are you, sit down!" ”

Xie Anxin smiled bitterly, but given that Liang Qiuwu had already said this, he didn't have any excuses to leave, and just before he sat down, suddenly Chen Gang slapped the table and said unhappily, "You sit on the right!" ”

"Huh?" Xie An was startled, he didn't know where he had provoked this second brother Chen, just as he was thinking, he saw Liang Qiuwu gently patting him on the shoulder, and said calmly, "Don't get in the way, you can sit here." With that, she knelt down on Xie An's right side.

Glancing at the elusive look of the four generals in the banquet in wonder, Xie An suddenly realized, you must know that Da Zhou is precious to the left, and he is sitting on the main seat like him, and he is still on the left side of the Liangqiu dance, no wonder that Second Brother Chen is angry in his heart.

Thinking of this, Xie An couldn't help but be a little moved by the Liangqiu Dance that maintained himself.

It is worth mentioning that Xie An was sitting in a seat that was originally for one person, but now there are two people, which is inevitably a little crowded, so that his arm is inevitably attached to Liang Qiu Wu's body.

Xie An had to admit that this feeling was wonderful, of course, it would have been better if the second brother Chen under the table hadn't looked at him with that kind of cannibalistic gaze.

But having said that, Xie An couldn't help but wonder about the current state.

What day is today?

Why are these four deputy generals of the Shenwu Battalion here? The other three aside, even the fourth brother Luo who had been staying in the barracks also came?

Could it be that something happened to the Donggong Mansion or the Shenwu Camp?

Feeling the unknown atmosphere in the room, Xie An vaguely felt that something was wrong.

When Xie An was speculating, Liang Qiuwu raised his hand and hugged his fists at the four generals under the table, and said, "I invite the four brothers to come today, in fact, there is a major matter related to my Shenwu Camp to inform the four brothers......

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little tense, Xie An was stunned to find that Chen Gang, who had been targeting him just now, didn't have time to pay attention to him at the moment, his eyes showed a little surprise, he looked at Liang Qiuwu and frowned and said, "Miss, isn't that the matter, the imperial court ......"

"Hmm!" Liang Qiuwu nodded, frowned and said, "This morning, the head of the household department submitted the piece to His Majesty, and after the discussion of the court officials, seventy percent of the hundred officials in the court supported the reduction of my [four towns] armament tariffs, and this part of the finance was attributed to the standing army......

"How much?" Xiang Qing, who had always had a hippie smile and no shape in Xie An's memory, asked nervously.

Liang Qiu Wu groaned and said in a deep voice, "Conservative estimates, at least fifty percent ......"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the four generals under the table changed, and Chen Gang, who had the most impulsive personality, had a faint fire in his eyes, and said angrily, "What? Fifty percent?! ”

Xiang Qing and Luo Chao were also unswerving, bowing their heads and saying nothing.

"Fifty percent, ah......" Yan Kai, who was the most old, raised his hand and touched his beard, and sighed wistfully.

Seeing Chen Gang, Xiang Qing, and Luo Chao's expressions of anger, Liang Qiuwu raised his hand and said, "The four brothers are not impatient, and Lord Li of the household department also said, over the years, I have frequently made trouble in the Great Zhou, first the Northern Expedition to Wairong, and then the Jiangnan rebellion, and now, the imperial court has gone west to Luoyang to quell the rebellion, and the treasury is tight, so I have to make this decision......

"How to do it on your own?" Xiang Qing sneered.

Liang Qiuwu frowned, and added, "Li Shangshu also said, he knows that my four towns cost a lot, and now that the country's finances are tight, he has no choice but to make this decision, so he asked His Majesty to give me and other four towns a holy decree, and asked me to wait for the four towns to organize caravans on their own, which can be exempted from customs taxes, city taxes, and transit taxes, and all checkpoint taxes are exempted......

"There's a bird for this!" Chen Gang was furious.

Before the words fell, his voice stopped abruptly, because he heard it, Xie An, who was tilting his head to look at the holy decree, teasing with a chuckle.

"Isn't that a good thing?"

“……”

The whole room suddenly fell silent, including Liang Qiuwu, everyone looked at Xie An with strange eyes, especially Chen Gang, who looked at Xie An with anger in their eyes.
