Chapter 56: The Coming Storm

When Ding Qiu led the Jinling Zhongli and the Wai to take Jiangxia, so that Xie An could smoothly enter this important city in the Jiangnan strategy, in the far Runan, a well-decorated carriage slowly drove into the city.

Half an hour later, the door of the yafu of the county government of Runan County was opened, and the prefect Han Xi and all the officials in the government came to the gate to greet him, behaving respectfully, and did not dare to be rude at all.

I saw that in front of everyone's eyes, there was an extremely beautiful woman who carefully stepped out of the carriage under the service of her personal maid and looked up at the sky.

"Whew!" Secretly exhaling a long breath, Han Xi, the prefect of Runan County, took two steps and bowed, "Han Xi, the prefect of Runan, see Xie Changsun's family!" ”

"Lord Han is exempt!" The woman raised her right hand lightly and said with a smile, "Concubine Shu is pregnant, so it is inconvenient to salute your lords......" As she spoke, she gently stroked her high bulging lower abdomen, and her face was filled with a smile of joy that she was about to become a mother.

"Where, where...... No, how dare you! Han Xi, the prefect of Runan, was sweating profusely, wiped the sweat on his head with his sleeve, and said respectfully, "Knowing that Mrs. Xie came to my Runan County, Xia Guan felt very honored, and Xia Guan has prepared wine and food in his abdomen to wash the dust for Mrs. Xie!" ”

A subtle gleam flashed in the eyes of the smiling woman, and she said with a smile, "Lord Han, the concubine is pregnant, so it is inconvenient to drink...... Didn't Lord Han want to harm the child in the concubine's womb? ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, the prefect Han Xi's face was full of astonishment, and he hurriedly bowed and said, "No, no, no, how can the lower officials have that evil heart?" ――It's the lower officials' lack of consideration, I hope Mrs. Xie forgives! ”

"Giggle...... "The woman covered her lips with her sleeve and chuckled a few times, and said, "Lord Han is serious, and the concubine is just seeing that you are too restrained. That's just a joke......"

Just kidding? Almost scared your own life?

Sure enough, this one, as rumored, likes to play tricks on others......

This is a woman with a bad character!

secretly discussed it in his heart, but Han Xi didn't dare to show it on his face, after all, the woman in front of him was something he couldn't afford to offend.

The origin of the woman in front of her is really too big, the granddaughter of the former Prime Minister Yingong, the daughter of Sun Jing, the chief of the military department, the wife of Xie An, the head of the Criminal Department, and the cousin of Liang Qiuwu, the head of the [Four Ji] and the general of the Eastern Army [Yan Hu Ji]. The eldest grandson Xiangyu.

Whether it is her mother's family, her husband's family, or her sister's family, this girl is the best of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is not an exaggeration to call her the first lady of the Great Zhou.

Han Xi really couldn't figure out how such a big man could suddenly come to his Runan County, but even so. Han Xi had no choice but to respectfully welcome the eldest grandson Xiangyu in.

"Mrs. Xie......" A handsome-looking woman respectfully handed a cup of tea to the eldest grandson Xiangyu.

It was not an ordinary maid, but Han Qi, the daughter of Han Xi, the prefect of Runan, who was also a pampered eunuch on weekdays, and the reason why she came out today was nothing more than because the status of the eldest grandson Xiangyu was really unusual.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you can get the favor of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Han Xi. No, the Han family can at least struggle for forty years less.

"Tea cake or fried tea?" didn't take the tea, the eldest grandson Xiangyu asked lightly.

"Returning Mrs. Xie, it's a roasted tea ......," Han Qi replied respectfully.

"Roast or roast?"

"Baking ......"

"Young shoots or thick leaves?"

"Shoot ......"

"Before or after the rain?"

"...... Before the Rain"

"Brewing in boiling water?"

"Boiling water brewing ......"

"Got your head off and a soak?"

"Hmmm......"

"Teapots and bowls can be preheated with boiling water?"

Pre-warmed ......

After some answers. The eldest grandson Xiangyu nodded with satisfaction, took the teacup from Han Qi's hand, took a sip, and frowned. handed it back to Han Qi and said calmly. "It's already cold, follow the steps again to brew another pot!"

Would it be cool if you didn't talk so much nonsense?

Even Han Qi, an official eunuch with a very strict family education, couldn't help but secretly discuss it in her heart at this moment, after all, the person in front of her was really too difficult to wait.

"Reluctantly?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu said lightly.

"No, the slave family doesn't dare to ......" Han Qi hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the seemingly plain eyes of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, but in fact they were as sharp as knives.

"Are you thinking that this woman is really too difficult to serve?" The eldest grandson Xiangyu said with a smile.

Han Qi's face turned pale when she heard this, her face was full of horror, and she didn't dare to speak in fright.

"I'm sorry," raising his hand and gently stroking Han Qi's hair, the eldest grandson Xiangyu showed a little guilt on his face, and said apologetically, "The concubine, she is seven months pregnant, but she still has to take a carriage for more than a month, and she has come all the way from Jijing to Runan, and she is in a very bad mood, but tomorrow, she will continue to hurry...... The concubine was counting on being able to rest in Runan and enjoy a cup of carefully prepared tea...... A cup of carefully prepared fragrant tea can relieve the fatigue of the concubine a lot, can you help the concubine? As he spoke, the eldest grandson Xiangyu showed a helpless look.

"I ...... The slave family is going to ......" Changing the reluctance and horror of Fang Cai, Han Qi blushed and hurried to the inner kitchen shyly.

is worthy of being a scheming second lady......

From the side, Qian Xi, the exclusive errand handyman of the eldest grandson Xiangyu and one of the four heavenly kings of Dongling, secretly marveled in his heart, marveling that the second lady had a few words plus a seemingly intimate action, and packed up the daughter of an official eunuch and obediently brewed tea for her with extremely complicated procedures.

And Han Qi's father, Han Xi, the prefect of Runan County, also seemed to be aware of this, and his eyes were full of fear and jealousy when he looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu, because he instinctively felt that the woman in front of him was not just a prominent family.

Looking at the sweet smile on this woman's face, which was about to become a mother, for some reason, Dongjun Han Xi and the others felt that there seemed to be something hidden in that sweet smile that made people feel extremely frightened, and they lowered their heads in fright, not daring to squeak.

After a stick of incense, the eldest grandson Xiangyu tasted the tea brewed by Han Xi's daughter Han Qi with satisfaction, and breathed a sigh of relief lazily, as if according to what she said, a cup of carefully prepared fragrant tea can indeed relieve her from the fatigue of many days.

After taking a breath. The eldest grandson Xiangyu said lazily, "Qian Xi, what about the letter from Sister Ling'er, the concubine?" ”

"Here!" Qian Xi took out a letter from his cuff and respectfully handed it to his eldest grandson, Xiangyu.

In fact, this letter was received by Changsun Xiangyu and his entourage the day before they arrived in Runan, and it was Jin Ling'er, who had arrived in Guangling, who sent the letter to Jijing, and then sent it to Changsun Xiangyu by Jijing Express.

It's just that the day before, the eldest grandson Xiangyu was dizzy and nauseous for several days because of the fatigue of the carriage and horses. I'm really not in the mood to read the letter.

After all, her husband Xie An had already spread the news of safety to the ears of the eldest grandson Xiangyu and other daughters, and now he was playing hide and seek with [Heavenly Ji] Liu Qing in Jiangxia and Xiakou, so the eldest grandson Xiangyu was not in a hurry to read the letter.

During the period when the eldest grandson Xiangyu read the letter, Han Xi and others waited quietly. Subconsciously held his breath, for fear of disturbing the person in front of him.

But even if everyone was so careful, the eldest grandson Xiangyu's two eyebrows still gradually condensed.

"Second lady? Has the third lady arrived in Guangling? Qian Xi asked curiously.

"Well, Sister Ling'er has arrived in Guangling, no, I wrote a letter to the concubine and told me an interesting story that is rumored in Guangling County......" stretched his eyebrows. The eldest grandson Xiangyu said with a chuckle, but it vaguely gave people an inexplicable pressure.

Seeing the corner of the second lady's mouth raise a somewhat unpredictable smile, Qian Xi asked in surprise. "Fun fact? What an interesting thing that made the second lady so happy? ”

"Oh? Is the concubine happy? Licking her lips, the corner of the beautiful woman with Liujia raised a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she glanced at Qian Xi. Said seemingly gently, "Qian Xi." Which eye of your eye is happy to see the concubine's body? ”

Seeing the sweet smile that represented danger, Qian Xi shrank his head and said, "Second...... Didn't the second lady say that the third lady wrote an interesting local incident in Guangling County in the letter? ”

"Ah, yes, it's an interesting story, the interesting story that is rumored in Guangling County right now...... For example, there is a guy who pretended to be the surname of my eldest grandson's family and ransomed Qin Yushu, the famous Ji of the local Yingchun Building, with two million silver, tsk, what a magnanimity...... "Obviously the tone is calm, but for some reason, these words always make people feel like gritting their teeth.

"Huh? Unexpectedly...... Someone dares to pretend to be the second lady's surname? Qian Xi was dumbfounded.

"Yes, oh, a man of courage...... Giggles! The eldest grandson Xiangyu giggled when he heard this, stroked his bulging lower abdomen with one hand, and a burst of anger flashed in his eyes, and disappeared in a flash.

"I used the surname of the concubine and the name of Xiao Wu's sister to go to the Qinglou, and used a full two million to ransom a Qinglou woman...... Heh, hehehe, hehehehe, what a guts, Changsun Wu! - No, Husband-sama! ”

"......" Qian Xi swallowed his saliva subconsciously, obviously the second lady was still smiling, but for some reason, Qian Xi felt as if he had seen a powerful ghost, and his back was frightened.

"II...... Second lady, are we still going to see Li Xian's jokes? ”

"No, I can't take care of that guy Li Xian right now...... With Li Cheng's guy who is not inferior to the former prince Li Wei, Li Xian can't die, in contrast, the concubine body is now more eager to see which wild woman is so admired by the concubine's unsuccessful husband...... It's really annoying, Qian Xi, even if it's the baby in the womb, my son, it can't soothe the anger in the concubine's body and mind......"

"Yes, yes......" Qian Xi nodded again and again, and he, one of the four heavenly kings of the dignified Dongling Mountains, trembled in fright in the smile of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and said tentatively, "That...... Then let's, let's go to Guangling? ”

"What are you going to do in Guangling? At present, the Jiangdong soldiers are in chaos, Sister Ling'er said in the letter, the Taiping army is divided into two routes, Wu Heng's 100,000 soldiers have been killed in Sanshan and Wuhu, do you want to kill the concubine and my son in the belly of the concubine? ”

"Uh, the little ones don't dare...... What does the second lady mean? ”

The eldest grandson Xiangyu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Jiangxia!" - No, let's go straight to Nangun! ”

"Didn't you say you wouldn't help Li Xian?"

"Ah, I'm not going to help Li Xian, when I wait to get to Nanjun, the concubine who is not a good husband will almost force that Liu Qing to Nanjun!"

"Huh?" Qian Xi was taken aback, and said in amazement, "Didn't the second lady say that Liu Qing has the intelligence to rival the second lady, then Lord Xie...... Can you win? ”

"Well, whether you win or not is another story. At least the concubine won't lose easily......"

"Is the second lady going to help Lord Xie?"

"Help him? Giggles," licking his lips, Eldest Sun Xiangyu smiled slightly and said calmly, "That's what I said!" --Killing the shameless wild woman who snatched her husband and father, and asked the husband of the concubine to take care of her, which can be regarded as helping him...... Right? Qian Xi? ”

"Huh? Belch...... This ......" Qian Xi opened his mouth, speechless.

Glancing at Qian Xi, who was embarrassed, the eldest grandson Xiangyu reminded with a smile. "You, how many times has the concubine told you, every time this time, you just need to nod your head......"

Qian Xi was taken aback and nodded again and again. "Yes, yes, Second Lady!" -- What the second lady said is extremely true! ”

"Giggle, cluck, cluck......" Ignoring the many Dongjun officials in the hall who were secretly swallowing their spittle, the eldest grandson Xiangyu held his cheek in his left hand, tilted his head slightly, and licked his lips with his fragrant tongue.

"[Mirage] Qin Ke'er...... Hum! ”

It's obviously a very tempting move. But in the eyes of Qian Xi and many people in the hall, it made them feel a chill.

-- At the same time, in Jiangxia City to guard the mansion --

Somehow, Qin Ke'er suddenly felt a chill on her back for no reason. She couldn't help but shudder.

"Ah......" A miserable scream did not come from Qin Ke'er's mouth, but from the mouth of the man next to her.

Qin Ke'er hurriedly spit out the thing in her mouth and stroked it carefully. Panicked and said, "Master." You...... Are you alright? ”

As she spoke, her face was extremely blushing, after all, her teeth had just scratched one of Xie An's most important parts, which made her afraid.

"Hiss......" Xie An waved his hand, signaling that it didn't matter, although he curled up all over his body in pain for a while.

"How much do you hate me, Kerr? ――Didn't you just use your back......?"

Qin Ke'er was so ashamed that her face was red, her cheeks were hot, and she looked at Xie An with shame and anger, her face seemed to be resentful, but there was an inexplicable affection in her eyes.

"Master, don't talk about those shameful things again, if it gets out, the little slave really won't have the face to see people......" Qin Ke'er covered her cheeks angrily, feeling the hot temperature of her cheeks.

"Is it that serious?" Xie An asked with a puzzled expression, "When my lord was in Jijing, I didn't hear about it more than once, but even there were good men, so what is it?" It's still a woman, right? ”

"That being said...... If the master just wants to try it, the little slave is willing to wait, but ...... That's an evil way, don't get lost! "It's very rare that Qin Ke'er taught Xie An seriously for a while, and it's no wonder, after all, although she has some kind of special hobby that is difficult to explain, she is also a Jiangnan woman and is bound by secular etiquette.

After a pause, Qin Ke'er continued, "Besides, if this matter spreads, the reputation of the old man will also be very harmful, the old man doesn't want to be mistaken for having a dragon yang, right?" ”

"It's not that serious, is it? ――If you are evil, isn't it also evil to use your mouth? ”

"......" Qin Ke'er opened her mouth and was speechless.

In fact, those women in the Qinglou, even if they have to sell their bodies in order to obtain money, but most of them will not serve Xie An with their tongues like Qin Ke'er, after all, Da Zhou advocates Taoist scholarship and believes that the eating and excretion process of the human body is a cycle of small Zhou Tian, corresponding to the sky, so things like serving a man with their mouths or even in the backyard are regarded as evil ways in Taoism, especially Confucianism.

As for some men who like the wind of dragon and yang, it is criticized and contradicted by Taoists and Confucians, because it is completely inconsistent with the harmony of yin and yang, the avenue between heaven and earth.

And the reason why Qin Ke'er violated the reserve and etiquette of being a woman before and used her tongue to satisfy Xie An was just to save her perfect body, but it was a pity that Xie An had to look at Shu and finally took away her innocence.

This is not the end, this man also invaded the last piece of pure land of her body the night before, and the bad thing is that Qin Ke'er found that she was becoming more and more unable to resist this man's rude request.

It was no longer a question of resisting or not resisting, but rather that she had gradually lost the mind to resist, as if she would find a way to satisfy the man's embarrassing requests.

"That thing...... Just once, okay, sir? ――If you want to try something new, one time is enough, right? ”

"What's enough for one time?"

"That'...... Twice? Qin Ke'er said worriedly.

With a smile, Xie An hugged Qin Ke'er tightly, and said a little domineeringly, "Isn't Ke'er's whole person all my master?" - Anyway, only God knows, you know and I know......"

"What does the master mean, is the little slave just the owner's property?" Qin Ke'er looked at Xie An with some grievances.

"Ah, whoever dares to take a second look, I'll whip him, master!"

"The lord is really domineering......"

"What? Don't like it? With a joking smile, Xie An pulled Qin Ke'er and pressed her on the bed very domineeringly.

"That'...... The lord must not spread this matter, and he must not find another woman...... In that case......"

"What then?"

"In that case...... The master can do whatever he wants to the little slave......"

"Hey! My Ke'er is really well-behaved...... "Hehe smiled, Xie An slapped Qin Ke'er's buttocks lightly.

Qin Ke'er exclaimed in pain, and for some reason she gasped in a low voice, hugged Xie An with her hands emotionally, and said in a low voice, "But the master must promise the little slave not to be obsessed with the evil way, so that the little slave's body is willing to be dedicated to the old man......"

It's really funny to say, Qin Ke'er, who was hoping that Xie An would die immediately a few days ago, is now worried that he will go astray, and while trying his best to satisfy him, he is also trying to change his wrong concept. I have to say that the phrase "love over time" is not unreasonable.

"Hey...... However, let's take the right path today. ”

"Hmm!" Qin Ke'er responded shyly and took the initiative to kiss Xie An.

And just when Xie An had just entered Qin Ke'er's body and was about to enjoy himself, there was a knock on the door of "tuk tuk tuk".

"My lord, it's the last general, is it convenient to come in?" Outside the house, the voice of Liang Cheng, the commander of the Great Liang Army, was heard.

"This ......" glanced at Qin Ke'er, who was naked on the bed, Xie An coughed, and said quietly, "Well, this mansion is taking a nap, what's the matter, Liang Cheng, you can say it directly!" ”

"Yes, sir! -- The last general wanted to tell the lord that the Taiping army gradually gathered forces as the lord thought......"

"Yes......" Xie An said casually, after all, his current mind was not on the Taiping Army that Liang Cheng said outside the house.

[What to do?] Xie An asked Qin Ke'er with his eyes.

Qin Ke'er, who was close to Xie An, seemed to understand the gaze of the man on her body, pulled over the futon, bit the corner in her mouth, and then nodded slightly, as if to say that she was ready.

"Your Excellency?" Seeing that Xie An didn't respond for a long time, Liang Cheng outside the house asked suspiciously.

"Huh? Oh, you just talked about the Taiping Army, right? Got a specific message? Slowly twitching his body, Xie An asked quietly.

Qin Ke'er under him, although her eyes were like silk, wheezing and wheezing, and even her eyes seemed to become dazed, she still bit the corner of the futon tightly and deliberately suppressed her breathing, after all, she had experienced too many similar things, and it had almost become an instinctive reaction.

"My lord, our army has found out that the Taiping army has more than 30,000 troops, all of which have been stationed in Xiakou, and according to the news sent back by the assassins in Dongling, the Taiping army seems to be preparing ships to cross the river."

"Want to run? There are no doors! - You're ready to send troops now! ”

"Yes, sir!"
