Yefu side courtyard.

Xiao Huaijin came to Xiao Lingzhi's door, the house was as warm as spring, Chasing the wind and Qin Shan immediately bowed and saluted, Xiao Huaijin waved his hand and said lightly: "Let's all go out!" ”

The two glanced at each other, and when they went out, Xiao Huaijin gently pushed open the small door.

"Big Master!" When Xiao Jun saw Xiao Huaijin coming in, she hurriedly saluted, she was a descendant of the Xiao family, so she called Xiao Huaijin the eldest master.

On the bed, Xiao Lingzhi had already sat up, her complexion had improved a lot, but her face was still very pale, and she looked extremely weak. ”

Xiao Huaijin waved his hand to order Xiaojun to step back, sat down on the chair, and then asked, "Lingzhi, are you feeling better?" ”

"It's much better, thank you father-in-law for your concern!" Xiao Lingzhi's voice did not have the slightest emotion, and replied very mechanically, and her expression, as usual, was very indifferent.

Xiao Huaijin sighed and said, "Lingzhi, are you still blaming your father-in-law?" ”

Xiao Lingzhi said lightly: "Why did my father-in-law say this? ”

Xiao Huaijin looked at Xiao Lingzhi and said slowly: "On the day when the Ye family's assassin assassinated, my father-in-law was in a hurry, and he pulled you in front of him as a shield to resist, don't you hate your father-in-law?" ”

"As a general of the unified army, if there is damage, the entire family army will be unstable. Even if the father-in-law doesn't do it, Lingzhi will stand up to protect the father-in-law. Xiao Lingzhi's voice was calm.

Although the two are nominally father and daughter, at this time, they seem to be strangers, without any father-daughter relationship, and they look indifferent.

Xiao Huaijin said with a smile: "Lingzhi is really reasonable...... Yes, I ...... after returning to Beijing! ”

Xiao Lingzhi immediately said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will say to the great sect master that it is I who stepped forward to protect my father-in-law!" ”

"Hey......!" Xiao Huaijin shook his head and said, "Lingzhi, do you know that when you were stabbed, your father-in-law was really worried, and he cried several times......!" He tried to squeeze out a few tears, but he couldn't do it anyway.

Xiao Lingzhi coughed lightly and did not speak.

"I didn't expect that kid from the Han family to have some ability." Xiao Huaijin said: "He actually knows how to use medical skills, but I don't see this." By the way, Han Xuanchang came over just now, does Ling Zhi know what it is for? ”

Xiao Lingzhi shook her head gently, her weak appearance was really pitiful: "Lingzhi doesn't know!" ”

Xiao Huaijin smiled proudly and said, "Although he didn't understand what he said, I understand what he meant." He didn't dare to fight with our Xiao family for the credit of Li Guguan's breaking, so when he recorded his military merits, he wrote that this matter was planned by you, and his son was just executed. In this way, it will be good for both their Han family and our Xiao family! ”

Xiao Lingzhi frowned and didn't speak immediately, Xiao Huaijin saw that her expression was a little wrong, and couldn't help asking, "Lingzhi, don't you think there's anything wrong?" ”

Xiao Lingzhi groaned slightly, and finally asked: "Father-in-law, Lingzhi takes the liberty of asking, does this great achievement have a great effect on the family's strength exhibition?" ”

"That's nature!" Xiao Huaijin immediately said: "This is a merit, a mere amount of gold and silver wealth cannot be rewarded, with this merit, our Xiao family can get at least ten more important official positions." Maybe we can also hold the one of the Ministry of Works Shangshu vacated by the Ye family. ”

Xiao Lingzhi said calmly: "In the opinion of the righteous father, if this merit is made by the Su family or the Ximen family, will they take the initiative to share the credit?" ”

Xiao Huaijin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Needless to say, the Su family is the biggest enemy of my Xiao family, and they will not give us a penny of benefits." As for the Simon family, hehe, Simon Leizang, that reckless man, how could he give up the credit. ”

"What my father-in-law said is very true." Xiao Lingzhi nodded slightly: "The Su family didn't let it, the Ximen family didn't let it, but the Han family took the initiative to give us such a big credit, doesn't my father-in-law think it's a little unusual?" ”

Xiao Huaijin leaned back in his chair, frowned and thought for a while, and asked, "Lingzhi, is it possible that his Han family still dares to play tricks with us?" ”

"The Han family endures pain and gives credit, this forbearance is not something that any family can do." Xiao Lingzhi sighed softly: "My father-in-law also saw that although Han Xuanchang was a civil official, he governed the army in an orderly manner, and when he was charging into battle, the soldiers of the East China Sea were extremely brave, and they could be regarded as the strongest army among all walks of life. They also have the old fox Han Xuandao in the capital, and Han Xuanling, the governor of the Fujun of Donghai Town, it is said that their great suzerain is also a great figure, in addition, Han Mo's ability and father-in-law are also in his eyes, it can be said that everyone in their Han family is a difficult character to deal with, although their overall strength is weak in the major families, but with these people, the strength of the Han family is enough to make people feel frightened. For so many years, the Han family has not shown its edge, and no one can see their depth, but this time, whether it is Liguguan or Hanye City, it was all broken by their Han family, which has already shown the combat effectiveness of their Han family. Now they are not arrogant, but they take the initiative to share the credit with our Xiao family, which is the most terrifying. The family that can endure, the power in their bones is a ...... that we can't ignore! Speaking of this, Xiao Lingzhi coughed violently again, her vitality had not yet recovered, and these words had already consumed a lot of her energy.

Xiao Huaijin didn't stop talking because Xiao Lingzhi was weak, and asked, "What do you mean, is the Han family deliberately showing weakness to us?" ”

Xiao Lingzhi said softly: "My father-in-law should know better than me. The Han family is not a fool, they give up things, and they always have to gain. Once we really tear our Xiao family apart because of this matter, although it may not be good for our Xiao family, it will be more harmful to their Han family. If we ignore the other families and concentrate on dealing with the Han family, the Han family will definitely not be our opponent! ”

Xiao Huaijin sighed: "How can we ignore other families? The Su family and the Fan family, they are all staring at us like wolves, and the royal family, if we go all out to deal with the Han family, they will definitely find an opportunity to bite us hard. ”

"So the Han family knows that they proposed to divide the work equally between the two families, and our Xiao family will accept it. This is good for both parties. Xiao Lingzhi said lightly.

Xiao Huaijin said a little unwillingly: "It's really unfortunate to be taken some credit by the Han family!" ”

Xiao Lingzhi didn't look at him, but there was a trace of disdain in her eyes.

This insatiable fool, others have already asked for a full share of the credit, but he is not satisfied, has he ever thought that such a miraculous feat, but the Han family has obtained it through courage, wisdom and blood?

Xiao Lingzhi already knew that the operation was led by Han Mo himself, and from the bottom of her heart, she admired Han Mo's wisdom and courage.

"Cao Yin asked our family army to withdraw tomorrow!" Xiao Huaijin suddenly said: "It seems that the royal family has already started the idea of Bozhou County, and our family army will defeat Bozhou County this time, but it was occupied by the royal family!" ”

Xiao Lingzhi said slowly: "How is the father-in-law ready?" Withdrawal? ”

"I was just trying to talk to you." Xiao Huaijin's face was full of smiles: "When you left Beijing, your godfather confessed that everything must be discussed with you before making a decision, Lingzhi, do you think we are going to withdraw the army?" ”

Xiao Lingzhi pondered for a moment, and finally said: "It is really unwise to go against the will at this time!" ”

Xiao Huaijin immediately said: "Could it be that Bozhou County will be given to the royal family?" ”

"Father-in-law, Bozhou County is rich in land and resources, and it can't be managed by just one Zhao Xiqiao." Xiao Lingzhi said calmly: "Ye Wu's original territory has a total of thirteen counties, and after the fall of the two of them, there are not only ten or eight vacant official positions...... I think my godfather should have already thought about it! ”

Xiao Huaijin was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing, the worry on his face disappeared, and said with a smile: "Lingzhi, you are still smart, how did I forget this." The position of the county guard was handed over to Zhao Xiqiao, but our Xiao family installed officials in Bozhou County, and there was no problem. Haha, you're right, your godfather must have already thought of a countermeasure! He got up and said, "Lingzhi, you can rest first and recuperate well." Tomorrow, I will withdraw to Huiji County with the loot, and you will recuperate here for a few days, and Cao Yin will take you back to Yanjing! ”

Xiao Lingzhi just nodded slightly, looking very tired.

Xiao Huaijin didn't stay long, and said: "The time has come, those damn Ye family members, it's time to lose their heads!" ”

That night, thousands of Ye family disciples and Ye family's dead friends were taken twenty miles outside the city, under the butcher knives of thousands of firing squads led by the three family masters, there was a cry, and the entire night sky seemed to be filled with this miserable howl and cry.

From the age of 80 to the age of a few months, the male Ding clan of the Ye family was bleeding under the butcher's knife, and none of them were spared.

The generals in charge of the execution are also cold, the Ye family's today, which family's tomorrow will it be?

The smell of ** in the air is extremely strong, the human head is hideous, and the cold wind is biting.

Thousands of corpses were buried overnight, and then the cavalry leveled the ground, the snow fell, and soon the ground was covered with a layer of white snow, and the massacre seemed to have never been born at all.

In the afternoon of the next day, the ranks of the family army began to drive out of Hanye City in a regular manner, carrying rich booty, horses dragged people to resist, and those who didn't know thought that a large group of bandits had just come back from robbery.

Although several major families are quite dissatisfied with the intention of withdrawing troops from the imperial court, they think about taking what they should take, and they have a lot of income, so they can't resist the order in this situation, not to mention that everyone has figured it out, the temporary withdrawal of the army does not mean that the family has lost control of Bozhou County, and a new round of competition in Yanjing has just begun, and it is still good to be stable at this time.

Hanye City withered and shattered, and the Ye family finally ended from the territory of Yan Kingdom.

Han Mo rode with the wind, ready to go, and saw Qin Shan flying over on a fast horse from a distance, several wind riders stepped forward to stop him, and were sent back by Han Mo, hit the horse forward, and asked with a smile: "Qin Shan, are you coming to see me?" ”

Qin Shan hugged his fists, took out a letter from his arms, presented it to Han Mo, and said softly: "Fifth Young Master has a good journey!" Without further ado, he turned his horse's head and turned away.

Han Mo opened the envelope and took out the letter paper, there was still a lingering fragrance on the paper, and the handwriting was beautiful, concise and clear.

"Thank you for your kindness, you should repay you!"

Han Mo smiled faintly and muttered to himself: "Should you repay you?" Could it be that I am a shy person, how embarrassing is this! ”
