Chu Nanan glanced at Yuan Min, with a slight doubt on his face, "You are very familiar with Deputy Secretary Xie?" ”

Yuan Min shook her head gently, she knew Xie Youyi when the team was leaving, and that was the first time she had seen him. She has heard a lot about this person, Qingxi often sneers at the Ninth Princess, and every time the Ninth Princess is mentioned, Xie Youyi must be brought with her.

He is the lover of the Ninth Princess, and when they met for the first time, she was embarrassed to look at him for some reason, probably because Qingxi said too much about the secrets between him and the Ninth Princess, and it made her a little embarrassed to see the real person. On the way to the Southern Dynasty, he has been walking side by side with Lord Helan and others, and most of the time she can only see his back, except for the time by the Dingjiang River.

He was tall, and she had to tilt her head to speak to him. Even when she was talking to him, she turned her head slightly and deliberately didn't look at him.

She was actually a thief for the Ninth Princess.

I heard that he was a general of the Southern Dynasty, and his family background was extremely noble. She didn't notice that he had the pompous and careless nature of a gentleman, she only felt that this person was serious and serious.

When she saw the real person, she really couldn't imagine that such a serious person could have an affair with a tricky and eccentric girl like the Ninth Princess.

If she didn't know what Qingxi said, she would have thought that this person would only fight. Falling in love is such a mundane thing, which is really impossible to associate with him.

As a native of the Southern Dynasties, he dared to fall in love with the princess of the enemy country, Yuan Min really sweated for him, thinking that this person was bold enough. But looking back, the north and the south are not well-informed, as long as no one deliberately investigates and investigates, I am afraid that it will take three or five years or even ten or eight years to reach Jiangling, and at that time, he may have already controlled one side with heavy troops, and this scandal will not hurt him at all.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, Xie Youyi came over and was slightly surprised when he saw them.

After taking two steps forward, Xie Youyi bowed his hand and saluted first, "I've seen Lord Chu, I've seen Princess Pingliang." ”

He thought that Princess Pingliang was not familiar with life in the Southern Dynasty, but he didn't expect her to be quite familiar with Chu Nan'an, which surprised him.

When leaving the Northern Dynasty, the handkerchief of the ninth princess was handed over to Qingxi and repeatedly asked him to take care of Princess Pingliang, and Princess Jiaxi also entrusted him. He has been busy since he came back, and he didn't take the time to come over until today, wanting to ask Princess Pingliang if she needed his help.

Chu Nan'an nodded slightly, glanced at Xie Youyi, and said with a slight smile, "The Heavenly Dynasty will see your father before yesterday, because you came back, he has been sick for more than half a year, and he has been better all of a sudden, I think he is more than ten years younger." ”

Xie You's face was slightly ashamed, "It's really unfilial to worry the second elder in the family." ”

Chu Nanan said, "I heard that Lord Xie has gone to the Holy Lord, so I must ask for a vacancy in Beijing for you." Fortunately, the capital is stable. ”

Xie Youyi smiled bitterly, "If I don't lead the troops, what else can I do?" ”

He put on his armor and galloped into the battlefield, and when he took off his armor, he didn't know what he could do or what he should do.

The two of them gossiped and walked inside, looking at Xie Youyi's respectful appearance, Yuan Min became more and more curious about who this Uncle Chu was.

After settling the two of them down, Tuya and Dolan hurriedly served tea.

Seeing Tuya and Dolan, Xie You nodded slightly, these two maids went out from the Nine Princesses' Mansion, and he vaguely had an impression, but he didn't know what it was called. Except for the nobles of the Sinicization in the Northern Dynasty, the names of other people are a little awkward, and he has never paid attention to it.

Tuya was more lively, and when she saw Xie Youyi, her eyes lit up, "Xie Anha, long time no see." ”

Xie You smiled, "It's been busy lately. ”

As soon as Tuya lowered his head and didn't intend to see his waist, he immediately said in surprise, "Ah, the fire sickle, the ornament of our Northern Dynasty, this must be given to you by the Ninth Princess!" ”

The fire sickle on Xie Youyi's waist is forged in silver, inlaid with brilliant rubies, and the pattern is very delicate, and it can be seen that the production has gone into it.

The fire sickle was the main accessory of men in the Northern Dynasties, and the horse, bow and arrow, and fire sickle were called the three treasures of men, and they would never leave their bodies when marching and fighting. In the sacrificial verses of the Sassanid Cult, it is sung, "The flint is the mother, the fire sickle is the father, the life of the steppe, the almighty god of fire......"

In Sassanid legend, the fire sickle represents life force and is a tool for purifying evil.

When a woman in the Northern Dynasty expresses her heart, she will send a fire sickle, which means that "there is dust behind her when she migrates, and there is green smoke when she is stationed", which is the direction of her sweetheart. When a man goes to the woman's house to propose, the fire sickle is also one of the essential gifts.

Xie You's face was slightly stunned, and he quietly blocked the fire sickle on his waist with his shirt, and complained bitterly in his heart, he was careless, thinking that no one was paying attention, and he didn't want to be not only known here, but also from the Nine Princesses' Mansion. Chu Nanan has been up and down in officialdom for many years, and he has always been good at observing words and feelings, and Tuya's words are actually a living handle.

If this matter spreads, I am afraid that not only myself, but also the officers who came back from the Northern Dynasty together, as well as the Xie family, will be in trouble.

He couldn't help but be afraid, his face was streaked and unmoving, and his back was sticky and uncomfortable.

Chu Nanan glanced at Tuya, then at Xie Youyi, and he smiled playfully, "Tsk, Deputy Secretary Xie is handsome and calm, I heard that there has always been no shortage of admirers, but I didn't expect that even the princess of the Northern Dynasty was captured." If we have a few more generals like this, what kind of battle will we fight? He laughed to himself.

Yuan Min couldn't help laughing, Uncle Chu was funny, as a native of the Northern Dynasty, she didn't feel offended.

Xie You looked embarrassed and smiled, but he didn't know what to say, for fear that he would say too much.

Chu Nanan said with a solemn face, "Deputy Secretary Xie is out of the hall and enters the room, it's better to be careful." Don't you hear it," he paused, he seemed to laugh instead of smiling, "Ladies have always complained a lot, and their wives have been sour since ancient times." ”

Won Min couldn't help but cover his mouth and chuckle.

Xie You was embarrassed, and was about to speak, Chu Nanan glanced at him meaningfully, and quietly diverted the topic, "It just so happens that you come here, these days, I am discussing with Minister Lu Cui about the pacification of the Dingzhou Army, you are familiar with the Dingzhou Army, and you will come over tomorrow to listen to it and give a suggestion." ”

This level of discussion, Chu Nanan took the initiative to mention it to him, and it seemed that he was not suspicious, but the look in his eyes just now seemed to be pointing, and Xie Youyi couldn't figure out what he was thinking. But Chu Nanan took the initiative to change the topic, which made him suddenly feel like he was on the verge of amnesty, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, calmed his mind, and Xie Youyi said respectfully, "But according to orders." ”

After sitting for a few more moments, he found a reason and got up to take his leave.

Seeing Xie Youyi leave, Chu Nanan was thoughtful, turned around and asked Yuan Mindao, "When Deputy Secretary Xie was in Tangzhou, was he very valued by Yuan Ke?" ”

Yuan Ke originally gave Xie You a chase and kill order, but he didn't expect that not only did he not cut him with a thousand knives, but instead saved him, which couldn't help but make people suspicious.

Chu Nan'an and Xie Ling are not familiar with each other, or they are different camps, and they have always been well water and river water. He saw that the fire scythe was worth digging into, but he wasn't going to meddle with it. He is not Lu Xiuyi, and if he grasps the clues, he has to dig deep and investigate, and he has to find out.

Even if he was really bored, he didn't plan to pay attention to it.

It's not worth offending Xie Ling.

Yuan Min didn't know why Uncle Chu suddenly asked such a question, but she keenly felt that if she answered yes, General Xie might be in big trouble.

After thinking about it, she said weakly, "I don't know. General Xie has been living in ...... The Nine Princesses' Mansion, the Holy One has only been here once. ”

After speaking, she glanced at Uncle Chu in a panic, and hurriedly lowered her head.

Chu Nan'an sighed, as if he was just asking casually, and after looking around, he suddenly asked, "You said that Yuan Ke rewarded you with a piece of writing, can it be convenient?" ”
