The day before the Xuan Department, it stands to reason that Xiao Yan was going to bathe in his mansion with incense, sincerely, and was ready to summon him for the emperor Lao'er, and he went to be confirmed by the emperor Lao'er as his new son-in-law, and by the way, he went home with a lot of gifts, and lived a happy and unashamed life of eating soft rice.

But now Xiao Yan's son-in-law is a bit special, one is that the real emperor is now in the forbidden for one of his top horses, Jin Zhangxian, who is looking directly at it, and it is the current Taishang who wants to marry his daughter to him - also for the soldiers under his command to watch closely. For such a father-in-law and brother-in-law, there is really no awe. The second is that those gifts were sent by him. Even if I take a trip and bring it back, the left pocket is in the right pocket, and there is really no sense of accomplishment and expectation.

So he was in his mansion, and all day long, he was watching the military reports that kept coming from Hedong. I didn't take it to heart that I wanted my new son-in-law to come to the door tomorrow.

The military reports in Hedong kept coming, and it was basically confirmed that the Jurchen army horse was led by Wanyan Lou's room, bypassing Yingzhou and entering Yunnei, with three or four thousand Jurchen Zhenyi soldiers, about one or two thousand tribal troops, and an auxiliary army of almost the same number.

In addition to the more than 1,000 elites who can fight in Yingzhou, although Wang Gui is claimed to have thousands of military horses, most of them are newly recruited troops or gather local powerful soldiers and horses, and they are not the opponents of the Jurchen army.

Wang Gui avoided the edge, and Han Yue reacted quickly in Hedong, Yue Fei had already selected the elite to join Zhen Liuchen and support the vanguard. And Han Shizhong was also mobilizing the main force of the Shenwu Changsheng Army to leave Taiyuan and go north. A total of seven or eight thousand foot riders were mobilized. There is also a sufficient number of auxiliary soldiers.

It stands to reason that such a military superiority. Coupled with the geographical advantage, it is enough to deal with the Jurchen military horses that are in danger and hang the army deeply. Xiao Yan can stay in Bianliang safely. As long as the relief to Hedong can be guaranteed, you can sit back and wait for the news of victory to come.

However, the follow-up military report was getting worse and worse, and the news from Guo Rong in Yingzhou was isolated, and Wang Gui could no longer be contacted. According to this, the hanging army is not only the part of the Yan Lou room that goes deep into the clouds! If there is anything in Yingzhou, then the main force of the Jurchen West Route Army in Xijing Datong Mansion will open the way to the south. A larger Jurchen army will be able to swarm south!

If the Hedong Shenwu Changsheng Army suffers any more severe defeats, the foundation of Xiao Yan's power will be greatly shaken!

However, Yingzhou Chengjian. Guo Rong won't have anything, right? And Yue Fei went fast, how could he keep her safe? Outside the Saiwai is still icy and snowy, tens of thousands of Jurchen army horses hanging deep into the army is already a bold move, the Western Route Army tens of thousands of Jurchen army, if the road is not passable, how can it go south?

But when it comes to his status, he can no longer be lucky when he encounters problems, and he can no longer fight as hard as he did when his brain was hot in Yandi, and he will gain a lot if he succeeds. Losing is nothing more than defeating and dying, as if you haven't crossed this time. Now that there is status, strength and wealth, and the group is growing day by day, it is necessary to take all aspects into account. Prepare for the worst.

These days, Fang Teng was handling the affairs of Emperor Xiao Yanshang, while Zuo Liao was handling how much military food and salary should be prepared if the army went out of the town to Hedong to help. And Xiao Yan brought back almost all the information of the Privy Council about Hedong and Yunnei's incumbent Sijia Cabinet Treasury. He also selected some small officials in the Western Mansion who were willing to take refuge in Xiao Yan for his use and were still quite powerful, and formed an organization similar to the military shogunate of King Yan. The office is temporarily in his mansion, doing the work that a commander should do. Familiarize yourself with the terrain. Understand the intelligence, analyze and judge, speculate on the possible development of the situation, and prepare several response plans............ All in all, this new son-in-law of the heavenly family is really not at ease.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

After noon, I saw Xiao Yan with big bags under his eyes, staggering back to the inner house, and followed the fragrance and went straight to the flower hall where he was used to eating.

In the flower hall, several maids stood quietly there guarding a large table of food, all waiting for King Yan to come back early to eat. But King Yan had already confessed, and no one could disturb him when he was dealing with business. The maids could only look at the door, constantly removing the cold dishes and bringing hot dishes from the kitchen. Back and forth, it's been changed several times.

It was easy to see Xiao Yan's figure appear, and the maids were as happy as if they were nothing, and they were busy welcoming Xiao Yan in. Waiting for him to change into homely clothes, put on the Hu bed where Xiao Yan is used to sitting, spread the brocade mat, set the cups and chopsticks, spin up the warm wine, open a warm pot, and wait for Xiao Wang Ye to have lunch.

Xiao Yan waved his hand: "No need to drink............ I know that I don't drink much except for socializing, so why do I still put it on every occasion? Also, How much can I eat in one meal? It's dozens of dishes every time, although I'm rich and I don't want to be too cold, this pomp is too exaggerated, right? ”

In the flower hall, there were seven or eight waiters waiting for Xiao Yan to eat, and there were eight mink hat battalion soldiers standing on guard outside the flower hall. Usually Xiao Yan thinks it's nothing, in this era, in this status, others are like themselves. However, today's various dossiers are dazzling, and my brain is faintly painful, and I really feel a little annoyed to see so many people having lunch at this big table in front of me.

The waiter in Xiao Yanyan's palace, there are no generations of service, and the son of a loyal family, he has only been through a few years?

But it is also collected by Xiao Yan from the troubled times of Yandi, which is equivalent to the grace of pulling out the sea of suffering for everyone, and the loyalty is no less than that of those children. The population in Xiao Yan's mansion is also simple, and there are no complicated and strict rules, this Yan King is also easy-going and generous, and sometimes he smiles and jokes at these little girls, so these maids and maids can basically talk and laugh in front of Xiao Yan---But these maids did not take advantage of King Yan's easy-going and took the opportunity to seduce him, and when it came to loyalty and respect, they were far above Xiao Yan for the little mute.

When the little girl with a pointed chin and big eyes that had developed like a spring flower, she pursed her lips and smiled: "King." It turned out that the little girl's family was just a servant of a Han official in Yandi, Liaoren, and that pomp was already amazing. What are you, my lord? According to the meaning of the servant. The king is too cold............ It turns out that the mansion is easy to operate, and it is convenient. But he said that he would let it, and he chose a random one and lived in. Now a few of our little sisters want to squeeze into a shop, and it is not convenient to do anything. There are people in the Song who are seven or eight times richer than the Liao people, why does the king not care so much? ”

After saying that, she just pursed her lips and smiled, and the sun shone in, illuminating a beautiful mole on her lips clearly. At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he already looks like a vixen.

Xiao Yan's heart fluttered, although there was a little dumb tiger. I can't touch it, but it's good to see it. He was in a better mood suddenly, and said with a smile: "Don't ask me about this, I'm not at home, what do you ask your Miss Yelu." Whatever she says, she is. I don't count. ”

The maid pursed her lips and smiled again, and brought three points of style. She is one of the henchmen of the little mute, and the little mute is Xiao Yan, and she is inevitably one of the companions. I want to help the little mute fix the pet. Although it is not possible to recommend himself for a pillow seat now, if the king is strong, according to the original words of the little mute, he must now resist with all his might, shouting that someone is playing a hooligan. But it's still nothing to throw a few winks.

Xiao Yan took two bites. Only then did he react: "What about Miss Yelu?" Didn't you always have to eat with me in the past? Why is it missing today? Where are you going to play again? ”

On the maid, the girl's style turned into resentment in a blink of an eye, and she actually gave Xiao Yan a blank look: "............ Tomorrow, the king will go to the Xuan. Even if the little housewife thinks about the king, she can't let the little housewife smile at the king today, right? ”

The maid hid the words behind her. just muttered in his heart: "Soon, an irrelevant emperor is about to enter the door, but the little mistress who has been with her all the way has not yet landed." The little housewife is nowhere to be found. I didn't have a place to go............ This king is good at everything, why is it not so important in terms of women? ”

Xiao Yan patted his head, these days he was worried about the changes in the situation in Hedong, calculating the turbulence of the situation, and making every effort to prepare for the inevitable changes. He was all too busy to get off work, and his heel hit the back of the head. I really didn't think about the little mute girl!

The little mute has a lot of affection for him, and he thinks about him again. It's also natural for girls to be jealous. Tomorrow, I have to recognize my father-in-law, how can the little mute still be by his side as before?

Fortunately, Lao Tzu was prepared, but he was busy and forgot about it!

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

In the little mute's boudoir, the little mute was lying on the couch, foolishly fiddling with the Nokia mobile phone that had long been out of power.

On the couch and on the ground, there are many fluffy little animal dolls, which were carefully made by Xiao Yan's spare time when he first arrived in Bianliang, and he spent time and energy to find Bianliang's master craftsmen. Definitely a handmade limited edition.

Alas, Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao............

Although the little mute knew that Xiao Yan's sudden desire for Emperor Shang Maode must have his plans, but in the past few days, he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.

She also knew that Xiao Yan was unlikely to fail her in this life, but when would she be able to marry Brother Xiao?

I'm a little over sixteen years old, and I've already jumped up a lot, and my chest is a little bit old. But when will Brother Xiao marry his own family?

Could it be that Brother Xiao just treats himself as a sister?

Thinking of this, the little mute was a little flustered, the few women that Brother Xiao was looking for were all quite mature and charming. Not to mention Master Li, who is not clear with him, every move is full of feminine style. I'm much younger than them. If so, how many years will it take for a result? Or will she be Brother Xiao's little sister all her life?

The always wise little mute suddenly got into the horns of the bull on this matter, tears rolled in his eyes, and his nose began to turn red, as if he was about to cry out in the next moment.

In this year, not only Emperor Maode is worried, but also the Emperor of Shu of the Liao people also has her sorrow and sorrow...... Our Yan Wang Xiao Yan is an emperor killer to the letter.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and the little mute heard the voice well. It was Xiao Yan. She didn't want to get up to meet him, and buried her head on the couch as if she didn't feel safe. He pulled a Song Dynasty pirated Pooh Pooh over his head and made up his mind to be an ostrich.

Xiao Yan was dressed outside the door. Take a deep breath. Strode in, and the maids waiting for the little mute in the bright room outside saluted him one after another.

Xiao Yan silently looked inside and asked how the little mute was doing.

The two little maids clenched their little fists and rubbed their eyes, indicating that the little housewife was probably mourning and crying, and her mood was very blue.

Xiao Yan frowned and sighed, and waved his hand to let the two maids withdraw. I walked into the room lightly and watched the little mute lying on the bed, with his head on Pooh the Pooh, motionless.

Xiao Yan laughed dryly: "Little mute." I'm here for that big brother Xiao............ Why don't you accompany Brother Xiao to lunch? You don't eat well without you, and your stomach is still empty............"

The little mute voice came muffled from under the puppet: "Isn't it two days before that vixen with big eyes, pointed chin, and long hair will accompany you to dinner?" I've seen her, and she's very gentle. If you tell her to go east, she will not dare to go west. Even if you let her feed you, I'm afraid that she is willing. What else do you want me to do? ”

Xiao Yan sighed and spread his hands: "That's all a political marriage, you don't know Brother Xiao's hard work............"

The little mute was silent for a while, and finally threw away the puppet. sat up and barely squeezed out a smile: "Brother Xiao, I'm talking nonsense." I didn't feel well today, so I didn't wait for you in the flower hall............ Why don't I ask the cook to prepare some more, and you can fill your stomach again? ”

Xiao Yan sighed. Suddenly he knelt down on one knee and pulled out a small velvet box from his arms. When opened, it is a diamond ring with a modern shape. A sterling silver receptacle set with an unneatly cut diamond.

There are clear records of diamonds in China during the Jin Dynasty. Most of them were imported from India or Persia. In the Song Dynasty, it was not regarded as any jewelry, but only as a tool used for cutting. It is mostly called diamond. Xiao Yan had a lot of effort to prepare this diamond ring, and it was easy to make such a diamond ring - he only knew such a way to propose.

"Uh............ Little mute, will you marry me? Although I'm very busy, and I don't marry more than one daughter-in-law, I don't know if you will follow me to kill all over the house or something............ But I can guarantee that as long as I am one day, I will care for you wholeheartedly, love you, and give you all the money I earn for the family, and the other daughters-in-law and children I marry will also listen to you. As long as the things in this inner house are told to go east and not west, and you tell me to beat dogs and I not to fight chickens............ Uh, I know this proposal is frustrating, why don't you say something? ”

The little mute's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Brother Xiao, why are you doing this?" What is it called? ”

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "This is called a marriage proposal, and the customs of my hometown are actually from the West." Everyone is like that, and I'm like that............ As for why I proposed, I think even Emperor Maude and I pinched my nose and asked for it, why don't I give you an explanation? In this world, I was just alone, and I was buried wherever I died. After I met you, there was someone who cared about me wholeheartedly, thought about me, and regarded me as more important than himself............ I've been waiting for you to grow up, that Emperor Mao De is fake, the Emperor I really want to marry is you, the princess of Shu! The real marriage is with you............ Little mute, will you marry me? ”

The little mute's face was flushed, her starry eyes were drunk, and she wanted to cry at this time, but she couldn't help but laugh happily.

She stammered again: "I care about you wholeheartedly, I think about you, I regard you as more important than myself, and there is a sister of the Guo family............"

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes again, is it so difficult to wait for a yes sentence? At the moment, he could only answer patiently: "I also owe Guo Rong, and I have to pay it back." This time, I will definitely take her back from Yunnei and never let her go. Propose to her the same, as for how you will divide power in the future, that is your business. You know, I'm always mentally supportive of you...... I won't say anything about this at that time............ I ask one last time, little mute, will you marry me? ”

The little mute stared at his toes, his voice was like a mosquito, and he whispered, "People...... People call it Yelu Yu Liyan. ”

Xiao Yan smiled and lowered his voice softer: "Okay, Yelu Yu Liyan, are you willing to marry me?" ”

The little mute threw himself into Xiao Yan's arms, laughed very well, and tears couldn't stop flowing down: "Brother Xiao, I'm willing, I'm willing!" I have been dead to you all my life, after meeting from a deserted village, you are the only one in the world who cares for me as a little orphan girl, at that time I thought, if you die, I will not live! ”

Xiao Yan hugged the little mute's soft body tightly, smelling the clean and good-smelling girlish smell on her body. I don't know how, a qiē scheming, a qiē iron-blooded soldier, and a qiē intrigue, all of them have disappeared. All that is left is the joy that fills the heart. I really want to get married, I want to give birth to a lot of children, I want to take my children to where my father goes, and I want to live a good life in this big song. Who wants to move Lao Tzu's happy life in the future, Lao Tzu makes him only hate to live in this world!

The little mute hugged Xiao Yan and cried and laughed for a while, snatched the diamond ring after spreading his hand, put it on the correct finger without a teacher, and looked at it repeatedly with a smile like a flower. Finally, he patted his head: "Oops! ”

Xiao Yan was stunned: "What's the matter?" ”

The little mute looked at his toes again, and twisted: "Senior sister is leaving............

Xiao Yan sighed: "Why are you leaving all of a sudden?" ”

The little mute snorted and chirped: "You want to get married, happily shake your head and go to Emperor Shang, what are you doing here?" Just collect the burden and prepare to leave............ I can't persuade you, I'm angry with you again, and I forgot to tell you..............."

Xiao Yan slapped his thigh.

Men, when you are busy with your career, you can't get into more love debts. Otherwise, it will be an inexhaustible fire!

What should I do now? (To be continued......)

PS: Two more.

The previous chapter should be Emperor Ji Chou (4), explain it. Too lazy to change.
