"The son of the Xia family?" Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, and then he sneered, "Everyone else said that General Xia was reversed, I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be true...... People's hearts are unpredictable! ”

"Lord Xiao, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding, right? General Xia was ordered to enter the king of Beijing Qin, but he set things right. It's Lord Xiao, who is holding us back like this, and those who know will naturally praise the adult's dedication to their duties, but those who don't know will inevitably give the adult a charge of complicity. The voice came from behind, a female voice, crisp and smiling, and it was from the same person who had just heard it.

Xiao Jing turned his head and saw a woman dressed in a dark robe walking out of the cabin, a delicate face was no longer covered with a black scarf, and a pair of eyes were more clear and clear in the gradually brightening skylight.

Xiao Jing's tiger eyes burned and froze the woman, "Third Prince Xia, what do you call this lady?" "This woman is not very old, she looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old, and her hair is used as a woman's hairstyle, so she is naturally married. Moreover, being able to be so comfortable on this ship, and being able to say such things, shows that his status is not low. But this third son of Xia, if he remembers correctly, is Xia Changhe's youngest son, although he is about to reach the age of establishment, but somehow, he has not yet married, so this woman should not be from his family.

No wonder Xiao Jing is curious.

Xia Yanfeng and Ye Xinyi were very frank, "This is the only daughter of my uncle, my sister." ”

"It is also the wife of Shen Yue, the commander of Jinyiwei, Ye Shi, who has seen Lord Xiao. Fang Cai was offended, and I hope that Lord Xiao will not blame the little woman. ”

Xiao Jing didn't know why the daughter of the Xia family, but her surname was Ye, he didn't care about these, but the name Shen Yue made him squint slightly.

Seeing his demeanor, Ye Xinyi smiled faintly, "My husband and Lord Xiao once had a relationship, it seems that Lord Xiao also remembers my husband." ”

"Naturally, I remember." Xiao Jing nodded, "Back then, the case of Xiao's greed for military salaries was handled by Lord Shen. At that time, only Lord Shen was unsmiling and selfless, but he turned out to be the son-in-law of the Xia family, and he also left the only desirable loyalty of Jinyiwei behind. The disdain in these words is clear.

Ye Xinyi was not half annoyed, but said with a smile, "My husband once said that Lord Xiao was upright, and sure enough. Back then, Lord Xiao was greedy for military salaries, and the evidence was conclusive, and my husband, as a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, supervised the case, so he naturally reported it truthfully. But Lord Xiao's so-called greed for ink has another hidden secret. If it weren't for the silverfish everywhere in the Daimyo court, the military salary allocated by the imperial court would have been insufficient, and after layers of exploitation, there would have been little left in the hands of the front-line soldiers. Lord Xiao would not make such a move in order not to let his sergeants go hungry. It's just that people are soft-spoken, and my husband can't manage such things if he wants to. I had to quietly deliver an anonymous letter to Zhao Yushi's mansion, writing the beginning and end of the case of Lord Xiao's greed for ink, Zhao Yushi interceded for Lord Xiao, and at that time, the Yangtze River garrison was short of people, and the Tatars were eyeing each other. ”

"So, Xiao has a quiet day like today, and he has to thank Lord Shen for secretly mediating?" Xiao Jing sneered, disbelieving.

"If Lord Xiao doesn't believe it, I can't do it. Although Lord Xiao is upright, this temperament is too stubborn, it is precisely because he is not used to seeing the actions of some people in the army, and he is unwilling to collude with them, so he offends people and is degraded again and again. Otherwise, with the military exploits made by Lord Xiao in the northwest, now, how can he be a party leader. ”

"Nanjing Wei is one of the thirty-six guards, and this will be the commander of the guard, can't he still enter Mrs. Shen's eyes?" Xiao Jing snorted.

"Nanjing Wei is not better than the northwest, there is no war, there is no military merit to build, if it is replaced by those who only want to enjoy themselves to come here, it is naturally good, not only can live a stable life, but also a lot of oil and water. But for Lord Xiao, it's not a good place to go. After all, Lord Xiao's lifelong wish is to drive out the Tartars, protect the family and defend the country, return the people and peace and well-being, and serve the country with the sea and the river. ”

The crisp and smiling woman's voice was obviously soft and soft, but when the words entered her ears and fell on her heart, they were like a thousand weights, which made Xiao Jing's heart sink, and she couldn't tell what it tasted like, but she looked up at the woman in front of her in a daze.

Ye Xinyi smiled slightly, and looked back at him without dodging, "It's just that I don't know if Lord Xiao has been comfortable for a long time, how much do you remember your past ambitions?" People say that if you don't forget your original intention, you have to always. Lord Xiao guarded the north bank of the Yangtze River steadily, but I don't know who guarded it? Who is the protector? ”

"That's enough....... Xiao Jing drank in a deep voice and narrowed his eyes, "You little woman, don't you still want to rebel against the general?" ”

"Lord Xiao! You dignified man, do you still need my little woman to break with you one by one? You have eyes to see, you have brains to think, can't you still see the current situation clearly? ”

"What situation? I Xiao someone doesn't understand, I, Xiao someone, am a soldier, and I only know how to act according to orders. Xiao Jing stiffened his neck, his face full of solemnity.

Ye Xinyi sneered, "Obey orders? Dare to ask Lord Xiao whose order he listened to? Is it Your Majesty, or King Ning? Not even King Ning? ”

Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he say in a deep voice, "Xiao doesn't know the situation of the capital." Xiao didn't care whether the so-called edict of King Qin was true or not, Xiao just wanted to ask the two of them. The two of them were impassioned in front of Xiao today, and they wanted to use that righteousness to make Xiao bow his head, bend over, and make his debut for you, so that you could drive straight into the capital for a long time. So...... In the coming day, when they entered the capital, King Ning's father and son were self-rebellious sinners, and their sins were unforgivable. But Your Majesty is about to die, and there are no heirs to inherit under your knees, so who should succeed you to this supreme position? Will General Xia be able to retire from his position and retire successfully? ”

Xiao Jing asked very clearly, he didn't care about those conspiracies, true or false, he only asked Xia Changhe if he wanted that position.

Cheyenfeng's face was ugly for a while, this question is not easy to answer. If you say yes, then you have already had a heart of disobedience, and the so-called loyalty of King Qin is a cover to deceive the people of the world, so isn't Xia Changhe the one who is disloyal and untrustworthy? But if you say no, it will be against your will, and when the dust settles, how will you deal with yourself?

"Lord Xiao said, you don't know the trend of the capital, so the trend of the world should always be in the eyes of Lord Xiao, right? This Manchu Dynasty official desire is difficult to fill, corruption is unbearable, the people are struggling to make a living, and mourning is everywhere, can't Lord Xiao see it? This kind of world, Lord Xiao hasn't had enough? Is it possible to protect such a court and such a faint monarch with his life? This is what Lord Xiao calls loyalty? ”
