Sure enough, the follow-up of escaping is to be arrested, proper, not light.

Looking at the more than 100 soldiers of the Eastern Army Shenwu Battalion who surrounded him, Xie An sighed secretly, looked at Yan Kai and Xiang Qing with the last trace of expectation, and said flatteringly, "Brother Yan, Third Brother Xiang, the younger brother has always been law-abiding, and has never done anything corrupt and perverted the law, you two will raise your noble hand and let the younger brother go, right?" ”

"Since you haven't committed anything, what are you afraid of?" Yan Kai, the eldest brother among the four generals of the Shenwu Battalion, patted Xie An on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"This is not ......" Xie An smiled bitterly, shrunk and was about to slip away, but saw Xiang Qing grab Xie An's arm, pull him back again, stared at Xie An with a sneer, glanced at Xie An a few times, and said to the soldier next to him at the end, "Tie it up!" ”

"Yes!"

When even two soldiers stepped forward and tied Xie An's hands and upper body tightly, at this time, Xiang Qing spoke again.

"Give me the other end of the rope!"

"Yes!" The soldier nodded, and handed another section of the rope that bound Xie An to Xiang Qing.

"Third brother, you don't have to be so desperate, right?!" Xie An said with a sad and indignant face, to be honest, just now, he was going to break the cauldron and knock down the soldiers who escorted him and escape, but he didn't expect Xiang Qing to come to escort Xie An in person.

Oh my God, that's a monster that can stop a frightened horse with brute force alone, Xie An doesn't think that his little bones can be more powerful than that frightened horse.

Xiang Qing glanced at Xie An when he heard this, and said with a sneer, "You kid is scheming, it's better to be cautious!" - Let's go! As he spoke, he tugged at the rope in his hand.

Get you back!

Naked revenge!

Looking at the undisguised smugness on Xiang Qing's face, Xie An'an was itching with hatred.

After passing through several alleys of Chaoyang Street, after half an hour, Xie An was reluctantly led to the door of a huge mansion.

Dongguo Gongliangqiu Mansion!

This is a place that almost everyone knows and knows in Jijing, but for Xie An, this mansion is even more terrifying than the tiger's den in Longtan.

Yan Kai didn't enter the mansion, but turned his head to Xiang Qing and said, "Xiang Qing, you take him to see the general, I'll go back to the barracks first and count the ordnance in the camp." ”

"Hmm!" Xiang Qing responded.

Xie An looked at the huge golden words on the plaque of the mansion gate, and let out a long sigh, suddenly, he had an idea, and reluctantly smiled, "Brother Yan, Third Brother Xiang, you see that this is here, can you go to this rope first?" Blame the shameful ......"

Perhaps seeing through Xie An's plan, Yan Kai smiled, ignored it, and left.

Xiang Qing snorted coldly, gritted his teeth and said to Xie An, "You kid also know how to be ashamed?" My adjutant general of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army, the adjutant general in charge of 3,000 soldiers and horses, was played by you like a monkey and chased you all over the street...... Whew! The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, and at last he gasped for air.

You must know that when Xiang Qing stopped the frightened horse in the downtown area, his face was not red and he was not out of breath from beginning to end, you can imagine how angry he was in his heart at this moment.

"I was wrong, I really know ...... wrong"

"It's too late!" Xiang Qing showed a bit of revenge on his face, pulled the rope in his hand, and said with a sneer, "Eat a trench and grow wise, you kid is scheming, if I let you go here, I don't know if I will cause something......"

"No, no......"

"Less nonsense! - Let's go! Xiang Qing raised his foot and kicked Xie An's ass lightly.

Ah, this person can't do it, he's very vindictive......

Glancing at Xiang Qing with a smug face, Xie An sighed helplessly and walked into the mansion honestly.

Maybe seeing that Xie An's mood was a little low, Xiang Qing was also a little unbearable, thought about it, took a few steps forward, and whispered in Xie An's ear, "Okay, don't put on this stinky face, who called the kid disobedient?" At first, I honestly followed my brother to the house, isn't this the end? Where does it come from? Brother won't hurt you! - Well, let's do that, my brother will invite you to eat and drink another day, okay? ”

"Where are you going?" Xie An rolled his eyes, as if he was a little moved.

"What do you say?" Xiang Qing raised his eyebrows, looking tacit.

"That's what you said!" A few hints of joy flashed on Xie An's face, but after thinking about it, he let out a long sigh again, and said with a wry smile, "Whether you can live until tomorrow is uncertain!" ”

"Speak well, not to!" Xiang Qing said with a smile.

After passing through the outer courtyard and passing by the courtyard, Xiang Qing took Xie An, who was tightly tied, to the inner courtyard of Fuzhong.

To be honest, the scenery of the inner courtyard is really good, with flowers and plants, water pavilions, and terraces, but on the side of the open space in the inner courtyard, the row of wooden shelves full of all kinds of weapons is really a bit of a bad scenery.

And on the other side of that open space is an extremely atmospheric thirteen-room pavilion, the middle one is several zhang high, and in the Great Zhou, where the buildings are generally bungalows, I am afraid that only large families can have such a magnificent mansion building.

"Tuk Tuk!" Coming to the largest room on the east side, Xiang Qing raised his hand and gently knocked on the closed door.

"Come in!" A slightly neutral female voice came from the room, calm and full of momentum.

Hearing this, he pushed open the door of the house, Xiang Qing walked into the house with a reluctant Xie An, and saw that at the table in the room, a woman in a battle robe was holding a military book in her hand, reading it to Xiang Qing and Xie An.

"General, bring the prisoner!" Xiang Qing clenched his fists and shouted, his expression was very serious, if he didn't look at the smile with unknown meaning next to the corner of his mouth.

"Good!"

The woman nodded, slowly turned her head, and looked at Xie An.

At that moment, Xie An had to admit that he had a faint illusion that he was about to suffocate, and the reason was only because of the woman in front of him, this woman who was not beautiful.

For some reason, Xie An suddenly recalled the first time he saw this woman, that day, he and Li Shou attended a celebration banquet to celebrate the great victory in the north......

"Li Mao?"

"Haven't you heard of it?" Li Shou, the king of Anle, glanced at Xie An, who had a mouthful of gravy, and shook his head slightly.

"It's a very familiar name...... picking up a towel on the table to wipe the juice next to his mouth, Xie An frowned and thought, suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise, "Could it be that the storyteller in the large and small teahouses in Jijing talked about it, Li Mao, the fourth highness of the weak crown who personally marched north?" ”

"Looks like you're not that ignorant!" Li Shou smiled, ignoring Xie An's indignant white eyes, and then, his face turned straight, and he lowered his voice and said, "Not bad!" It is my first brave general of the Great Zhou, Xiang Wang Li Mao! ”

"King Xiang?" Xie An was stunned, and said strangely, "It's even on a par with the Xiang Ji of the Overlord of Western Chu......"

"You don't know the danger of that battle, don't blame you," Li Shouwei smiled, and then muttered, "At that time, more than 100,000 Beirong crossed the border, menacing, in just over a month, Yuyang, an important military town in the north, was lost, and then Youzhou fell on the whole line, and the war once affected Jizhou, causing the people of Jijing to panic, and the ministers of the DPRK and China were helpless, and even my father had to think about moving the capital to avoid the Beirong ......"

"Wouldn't you, you were forced to move the capital? Doesn't Jijing have a working army and horses? Xie An asked in surprise.

Frowning and glaring at Xie An, Li Shou said in a deep voice, "Don't talk nonsense!" Jijing is the capital of my Great Zhou Kingdom, how can there not even be a single available soldier and horse? Just ......"

"Just?"

"Since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jijing has had four soldiers and horses that are never mobilized on weekdays, have you heard of it?"

Seeing that Li Shou suddenly diverted the topic, Xie An was a little puzzled and shook his head suspiciously.

"These four soldiers and horses are led by the heirs of the four founding generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who are only responsible for ensuring the safety of the Beijing division on weekdays, and never easily transfer out, and their establishment is not in the establishment of the whole ** team, only obeying the orders of the Son of Heaven of the Dynasty, in addition, even if they are the generals of the Dynasty, they cannot mobilize a single cent, respectively, the Eastern Army [Shenwu], the Southern Army [Trap], the Western Army [Relieve Trouble], and the Northern Army [Beiwei], each of which is around 20,000 people......

At the time of the Beirong incident, Nanyang had been in rebellion for many months, and the Korean and Chinese armies all rushed to Nanyang to quell the rebellion, and even the southern army was transferred there, in other words, the huge Jijing, in addition to the Praetorian Guard, only 60,000 soldiers and horses, suppose, if it were you, would you dare to abandon the century-old Beijing division of Jijing and easily transfer troops? ”

"Uh......"

"Even you are hesitant, let alone the ministers of the DPRK and China, no one, no one dared to propose to lead the army to the Northern Expedition at that time, everyone was thinking about how to defend Jijing to the death, and not let those foreign Rong invade the capital of my Great Zhou for hundreds of years......"

"That ...... the North"

"This is called abandoning the car to protect the marshal," Li Shou sighed quietly and said in a deep voice, "It is not difficult to guess that the mind of the minister of the DPRK and the central government is nothing more than to temporarily avoid the foreign front, wait for the army to quell the rebellion in the Nanyang area, and then counterattack, than to make a desperate bet and send the only few available troops and horses to the north when it may lead to the destruction of the capital of Hebei, isn't it much more thoughtful?" ――As for what will happen to the people of the North, even if someone thought about it, I am afraid that they would not mention it at this time, right? At this, he shook his head.

“……”

"At that time, the fourth brother Li Mao was the only one who advocated the Northern Expedition, he persuaded his father, led his subordinates, and the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army a total of more than 25,000 people to the north, and more than 100,000 Beirong fierce battles for several months, and finally annihilated half of them, blocking the enemy at the border of Jizhou Prefecture, and then taking advantage of the victory to pursue, recapture Yuyang and other Youzhou cities, and once killed out of the pass, forcing the north side of the Wairong tribe to 300 miles, after this battle, the father called the fourth brother to sit in Yuyang, the governor of the northern war, named him the first warrior of the Great Zhou, King Xiang!"

"Huh, 25,000 against more than 100,000, and a big victory......" Even listening to Li Shou's oral account of the war that year, Xie An couldn't help but be shocked by the various numbers and brilliant results in his words.

In his mind, there is actually no shortage of battles in which the weak defeat the strong and turn defeat into victory, but like Li Mao, the fourth highness in Li Shou's mouth, after defeating the invading enemy army, not only gradually recovered the lost enemy, but even led the army to counterattack, killing hundreds of miles outside the pass, forcing the grassland tribes to retreat north, which is simply ......

"Your fourth brother is really an amazing character......" Xie An praised from the bottom of his heart.

Li Shou smiled slightly, then glanced at the vicinity of the entrance of the main hall, and said inexplicably, "Amazing character, there is another ...... Here it comes! ”

"Huh? What the? Xie An was stunned and was about to speak, when suddenly, the hall, which was still very noisy and lively, fell silent, and everyone's eyes looked in the direction of the palace gate.

"General of the Shenwu Battalion of the Eastern Army, General Liangqiu has arrived!"

With a report from the people outside the palace, a general in a battle robe strode into the hall.

At that moment, Xie An's expression became very exciting.

Woman...... Woman?
