After dinner that day, as usual, Liangqiu Dance returned to his own room and took a beautiful bath.

And when she took a shower and changed into a more ordinary dress and came to Xie An's room, she found that the room was empty.

"Yiyi, where are the Ann?"

"An hour ago, the slave seemed to have seen it in the garden in the backyard."

"Yuanmuli?"

Liangqiu Wu was really a little surprised, because with her understanding of Xie An, Xie An would never pay attention to the huā in the mansion, even if those fresh huā were lush and dazzling, Xie An probably wouldn't take a second glance.

What's going on today? Don't......

Holding a few doubts in his heart, Liang Qiu Wu walked towards the garden in the backyard, and sure enough, he saw Xie An who was standing under a tree in a daze, unlike him who has always been cheerful on weekdays, this chapter 62 is eventful in the autumn moment, even Liangqiu Wu can see that he is preoccupied.

"What's wrong?" Moving behind Xie An, Liangqiu Wu called softly.

"Huh?" Maybe he didn't notice that someone was approaching behind him, Xie An's shoulders trembled slightly, and when he turned his head to see Liangqiu Dance, he showed a little wry smile on his face, and said helplessly, "Dance, it's you, scare me ......"

Looking at the sad face on Xie An's face, Liangqiu Wu smiled slightly, then hesitated, with a little unnaturalness, and said softly in a low voice, "What's the matter?" Husband"

"Husband?" Xie An looked at Liangqiu Dance in surprise.

But seeing a little blush on Liangqiu Wu's face, he lowered his head and said, "Listen to Yiyi, you will be much happier when you are called like this?" ”

"Heh" Xie An shook his head with a smile, and after sighing slightly, he nodded and said, "Thank you, I'm not unhappy" I just" As he spoke, he raised his hand and stroked the rough bark of the tree in front of him.

"Could it be because of the Lu family?" Although Liangqiu Dance is not very smart, he can guess this.

Xie An nodded, shook his head again, and was noncommittal.

Looking at Xie An's elusive expression, Liangqiu frowned and said softly, "But go out of the house to relax, right?" Chapter 62: It's still early to ...... the hour of the eventful autumn"

"Now?" Xie An raised his head in a little surprise, glanced at the sky, and found that it was dusk at the moment, and the sky was getting dark, "But there is still some time before nightfall."

After thinking about it, Xie An nodded, and then, "He seemed to think of something, and said, "Do you want to go back to the room and get the knife?" ”

It's no wonder that Xie An said this, "After all, yesterday" he and Liangqiu Dance went to the Nanguo Mansion, and on the way back, Liangqiu Dance was almost injured by the female assassin of the dangerous building called Jin Ling'er.

"Forget it, aren't you just going to take it?" Liangqiu Wu smiled and glanced at the sword hanging from Xie An's waist, "That's her former sword."

Xie An was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, after all, the reason why he brought this sword "is not entirely because Liangqiu Wu entrusted this sword to him, but simply, in order to make himself look more manly, otherwise, what kind of sword does he bring as a civil official of the Great Prison Temple?"

Out of the Donggong Mansion, the two walked east along Chaoyang Street, because Liangqiu Wu was wearing a more ordinary female costume at the moment, and Xie An changed out of his official uniform of Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple before dinner, so that when the two of them walked on the street, they looked like a young couple.

Well, in fact, it's a couple.

The Liangqiu dance in women's clothing, except that her complexion is not so white, can be called a beauty, and although Xie An seems to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, he is also clear-eyed, plus he is worried today, the expression on his face is not as frivolous as usual, much more stable, plus the sword he wears on his waist, it really has the meaning of being a talented woman, so that the people who come and go on the street can't help but let out a sigh of praise when they pass by and see him and the two.

Those sighs of praise made Liangqiu Wu's cheeks burn, her face crimson, and her expression was very nervous, she couldn't help but secretly regret that she didn't change her clothes and came out with Xie An.

It's no wonder, after all, she has been dressed like a man since she was a child, and now she is walking around the streets and alleys in the clothes of her daughter's house, which she has never done, so that the praise of the people around her is mistaken for ridicule, ridicule, and shame.

Perhaps noticing the restrained and embarrassed look of the beauty beside him, Xie An showed a little puzzlement in his eyes, but after thinking about it, he suddenly understood, and said in a low voice, "Wu, those people are not laughing at you, they are just marveling at your beauty."

"Really?" Liangqiu Wu raised her head a little timidly, glanced at the eyes of the passers-by around her, and found that as Xie An said, those people were not laughing at her, but even so, she was still a little concerned, bit her lip, and said with a slight twist, "Isn't my dress very weird?"

It's all Yiyi, I said I didn't want to, I had to wear it."

To be honest, Xie An had long known that Liangqiu Wu was very unconfident in his appearance, and even had a faint inferiority complex, but seeing that this stupid woman cared about this, he couldn't help but be a little funny.

"I think this one suits you perfectly!" Xie An chuckled and cheered up Liangqiu Dance.

"Really?

Ann, you know, I hate it when people lie to me, especially you"

"Yes!

If you think I'm lying to you, you can use that family method! ”

"Well, then, let's assume that you didn't lie to me," although it sounded like an absent-minded remark, but there was some joy in her eyes.

Xie An shook his head helplessly, and was about to lift his feet to continue walking forward, when suddenly, a little girl around the corner ran out with Lou Zi in her hand, hit Xie An headlong, and fell to the ground.

Maybe seeing that there was trouble, the little girl was stunned for a moment, and sat on the ground and looked at Xie An stupidly.

Looking at the little girl's sluggish appearance, Xie An deliberately straightened his face and said, "Little ghost, look at the good things you have done......

However, before he could finish his words, he saw the little girl's mouth flattened, and she cried.

Seeing this, Xie An couldn't help but be a little flustered and said with a smile, "Hey, hey, what are you crying about?" I'm the one to cry about, right?

Don't cry! Do you hear that? Don't cry! Okay, good, big brother is wrong, big brother is joking with you, don't cry, don't cry."

"Ann!

What do you care about with a little kid? Liangqiu Wu glanced at him with a little reproach, squatted down, touched the little girl's head, and asked gently, "What's your name?" ”

Maybe I think Liangqiu Dance is much kinder and kinder than the evil man next to him, small

The girl stopped crying and said timidly, "Fenfen......"

"Oh, it's called Fen Fen, is it the tofu that your mother bought at the market? Really good"

"My mother said that I need to use ...... to cook at night"

"Well, that's good!

I'm sorry, I broke your basket" Touching the little guy's head, Liang Qiu Wu touched his waist, then frowned and raised his head to look at Xie An, and was about to speak, but saw Xie An hand her a piece of broken silver.

Looking at Tan An in a daze for a long time, Liangqiu Wu seemed to have thought of something, glanced at him angrily, and then took the piece of broken silver, put it in the little guy's hand, and said gently, "Use this silver to buy another copy, okay?" ”

The little girl nodded, and said obediently, "Thank you, big sister" As she spoke, she looked at Xie An with some fear, and said timidly, "Thank you, big brother......"

I saw Xie An snort, deliberately straighten his face and said, "Today, this big sister is interceding for you... Don't run around corners in the future, you know? If I run into someone as fierce as me, I'm going to have to beat you up! Do I remember it fiercely? ”

"Remember," the little girl nodded timidly, glanced at Liangqiu Dance gratefully, and ran away with her basket.

Looking at the back of the little girl leaving, Liangqiu Wu slowly stood up, looked at her husband and said angrily, "You, it's just a lot of things!" I was ready to pay her money in the morning, what are you still scaring her for? ”

"I'm teaching her that if this little ghost doesn't learn her lesson, she will be unlucky to meet someone as vicious as me in the future!" As he spoke, Xie An straightened his face and said in a deep voice, "How is it, isn't it scary?" ”

Glancing at her husband helplessly, Liangqiu Wu was angry and funny, shook her head and said, "The fierce gods are not evil, but the stubbornness is real!" At a glance, you are already the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, and you are still like a child all day long! ”

"Hey, hey, it's hurtful for you to say that, oh, by the way, if you slander me, you slander yourself, I'm a child, so what about you? The wife of a child? Hey!

Nothing to say, right? ”

"Look at your words, you still say that you are not a child" Liangqiu Wu shook her head helplessly and sighed, quite a kind of unladylike marriage.

Rao is Xie An's eloquence is excellent, and he was speechless at this time, looking around sullenly, and suddenly, his gaze became solemn.

"This is" Xie An was shocked to find that they had come to the street of the Nanguo Mansion at some point.

The smile on his face gradually receded, and Xie An silently came to the alley fork about twenty zhang away from the Nanguo Mansion, and stretched out his hand to touch the wall of a dwelling.

"More than half a year ago, I was also standing here, watching from afar that the son of the Lu family was outside the mansion to receive the emperor's order to go on the expedition, and I cursed him to go and never return...... Isn't it despicable? ”

"Ann ......"

"But I really didn't think that I really didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, but I didn't..." Xie An's words seemed a little confused and clueless.

Looking at the indescribable heaviness in Xie An's eyes, Liangqiu Wu stepped forward and said softly, "An, I know what you want to say, I think you just wanted to vent the resentment in your heart... Besides, I don't think your words to vent your anger caused Brother Lu...

"Does he care about my? I just ......"

"You just think you're sorry for that Sister Wan'er?"

Xie An was silent, and after half a while, he smiled bitterly and laughed at himself, "I sincerely hoped that she could get a good home, but I didn't expect... It feels like it's my own hands...

"Ann!" Sighing slightly, Liangqiu Wu gently hugged Xie An's shoulders and said in a low voice, "Jealousy, as long as it's a person, there will be... Remember? You did that to me in the first place, and I want to have you broken into pieces......"

Elder brother... Are you sure you're comforting me? ”

"Yes!" Liangqiu Wu looked at Xie An suspiciously, and then said gently, "You may not be called a humble gentleman, and sometimes the way you do things is also somewhat similar to that of a villain, you want to achieve your goals, unscrupulous means, frivolous, lustful, greedy for money and immature, steady, and stubbornly like a child, but you always carry out your beliefs and the bottom line of morality, the grace of rice will be repaid, and the grievances of the eyes will be repaid], and you live a very straightforward life, not as hypocritical as the world..."

“……………”

"No matter what others say about the husband's wife, the wife feels that the husband is worthy of others and his heart......"

"What do you really say about this evaluation, yes, are you really comforting me?"

Looking at Xie An's unhappy expression, Liang Qiu Wu shook his head with a smile, and changed the topic and said......, do you want to go from time to time?" ”

Xie An turned his head when he heard this, "silently looking at the white paper lanterns hanging on the left and right of the gate of the Nanguo Mansion.

"It's not appropriate for me to go now! Go back, I'm tired."

"Hmmm......"

"Dance ......"

"Huh?"

"When you are free, go to the Nanguo Mansion for me......"

"Remember for my wife, after going to the barracks tomorrow, I'll go to Nangongfu"

"Please......"

In all fairness, Xie An really wanted to enter the mansion to comfort and comfort the woman who had been greatly favored by him, the daughter-in-law of the current Nanguo Mansion and the daughter of the Su family, who was once the wealthy Su family in Guangling.

But Xie An also knew that it was not very appropriate for him to comfort her at this time, even if she didn't think much about it, Nan Guogong didn't think much about it, but what about the neighborhoods around him?

If this caused gossip, it was not what Xie An wanted to see.

The next day, Liangqiu Dance asked Yi Yi to prepare fruits, tribute, and some plain clothes, and went to the Nanguo Mansion, and after comforting Nanguo Gong Lu Song for a while, she also met the woman who had been so great to Xie An that Xie An never forgot it, Su Wan.

Of course, it is as Xie An's wife.

And Xie An, for a long time after that, in order to avoid suspicion, he didn't go back to the Nanguo Mansion because he didn't want to cause trouble for Su Wan, especially at this extremely sensitive time.

For some reason, Xie An seems to have slightly changed his self-indulgent temperament and become much more stable, conscientiously handling the official affairs of the Great Prison Temple every day, occasionally playing chess with the old man Kong Wenkong, and the latter sometimes taught Xie An some experience in judging cases, dealing with people, and being an official.

It is worth mentioning that those officials of the Great Prison Temple who had previously been at odds with Xie An could only give in to Xie An after all, and only a few diehards led by the head catcher were still insisting.

For those who came to bear the guilt, Xie An actually didn't want to spare them so easily, and he had to preach anyway, but because the affairs of the Lu family touched him too much, he was not in the mood to deal with these insignificant people in the mouth of Old Man Kong, and after saying a few words absentmindedly, he asked them to resume their original positions.

seems to be an anticlimactic approach, but it unexpectedly made those headhunters who stubbornly insisted on embarrassing Xie An hesitate, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.

Half a month later, that is, at the end of April, the body of Lu Fan, the son of Lu Song, the Duke of Nanguo, was finally transported back to Jijing, and the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty issued an edict to bury him in a grand manner.

On the day of the funeral held by the Nanguo Mansion, Xie An actually went to see it from afar, but in the end he didn't go in.

During this period, seeing that the rebels in Luoyang were becoming more and more arrogant, the emperor of the Great Zhou ordered to organize the soldiers and horses to march westward again, which made the princes, including the crown prince Li Wei, a little nervous, after all, the fourth prince Li Mao was crowned king by virtue of military merits, and thus gained a decisive power and status.

Originally, Lu Song, the duke of the Southern Kingdom, intended to personally take command of the expedition to avenge his son, but the Son of Heaven saw that he had just tasted the pain of losing his son, and after saying good words to appease, he did not agree, but handed over the matter of the western expedition to Wu Bang, the general of the dynasty.

Under the open and secret fighting, the princes invariably planted their henchmen in the new round of the Western Expeditionary Army, and rushed to Luoyang to quell the rebellion with the general Wu Bang.

On April 27, Wu Bang, the general of the dynasty, led 80,000 elites, as well as 30,000 or 40,000 defeated troops of the previous Western Expeditionary Army, totaling 120,000 troops, to attack the rebels.

The first battle was a great gain, and the rebels were defeated and retreated, and successively recovered Daliang, Xu County,

Zhongmu, Luyang, and even Bishui Pass were also taken.

At the beginning of May, like Lu Fan and Lu Keting, the sons of Lu Song, the prince of Nanguo, Wu Bang, the general of the dynasty, led an army of 120,000 troops and attacked all the way to Hangu Pass.

Come to think of it, the rebels in Luoyang and Chang'an were mostly military households and ordinary people in the Nanyang area, where were the opponents of the regular army of the Great Zhou court, but just like the previous time, under the Hangu Pass, the Western Expeditionary Army tasted defeat again.

It was still the general of the thief army who didn't know whose name was, and in the army of more than 100,000 people, he actually beheaded Wu Bang, the general of the Great Zhou Dynasty, off his horse, exactly the same as when he killed Lu Fan, with a knife.

This made the Xinxi Expeditionary Army once again follow in the footsteps of the previous one, and returned defeated, while establishing a large camp in the Hongnong area to block the rebel counterattack, and on the other hand, sending a letter to Jijing for help.

Hearing that Wu Bang, the general of the dynasty, was killed by a thief on the battlefield, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was shocked and angry, and he fainted in the court, which made the turmoil of the Great Zhou even higher level.

The princes, who seem to have committed no crimes in autumn on weekdays, led by the third prince Li Shen, gradually began to suppress the crown prince Li Wei, and attacked him one after another, even the prince Li Wei was busy and tired at this time, where could he still take care of Xie An and Li Shou.

After all, his crown prince Li Wei's real opponents, the fourth prince Li Mao and the eighth prince Li Xian, have not yet returned to Beijing.

At this moment, the Great Zhou Jijing, Cheng can be described as internal and external troubles, the Great Zhou Tianzi fainted, it was difficult to manage the dynasty, the battle for the princes to seize the heirs became more and more intense, and the Luoyang rebels were not able to fall, and even the Jiangnan and Jiangdong areas, which had been properly pacified in the early years, gradually became unstable.

On May 11, the twenty-third year of Hongwu, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in a coma on the dragon couch, and ordered Li Wei, the prince of the East Palace, to temporarily regent the court, and at the same time, called Prime Minister Yingong and Imperial Historian Meng Rang, together with the six departments and Jiuqing, to assist the prince Li Wei.

This is not good news for the princes or for Xie An!!
