Chapter 290: Imminent

The next day, the weather was sunny and windless.

However, it rained all day yesterday, so the temperature was a little low, and when I opened the door, I felt a cold air swishing into the collar.

Qin Xiang felt the power of the inverted spring cold solidly, and sneezed unprepared.

At this time, she misses the air conditioning and underfloor heating very much.

Winters in the south are wet and cold, and even with air conditioning, there is no such pleasantly warm feeling. The north is dry and cold, and the outside world is terriblely cold, but once inside, you will be greeted with spring-like warmth.

Qin Xiang sighed at Dangya Mountain, which was shrouded in mist, and when she had the opportunity to go back, she must renovate the house. If you can't make heating, let's make a dragon.

In this era, regardless of the north and south, every household uses a bed as a bedding.

In winter, there is only a brazier to keep warm, so it is no wonder that so many people freeze to death in winter. In addition to the fact that the house was not kept warm, it was also because charcoal and firewood were too expensive.

If you have a warm kang at home, you can feel comfortable in winter.

Qin Xiang still remembers that she once went to a villager's house in the countryside of Northeast China and admired the local heating method. They didn't burn coal, but corn stalks. It seems that there are others, and she can't remember them well after many years.

Qin Xiang was able to recall many details of his previous life in the early morning, but it was because it was too cold.

"The owner."

A coat with body temperature draped over her shoulders, Qin Xiang looked back at Xiaoyu and smiled: "Up?" ”

Xiaoyu's face turned red and said coquettishly: "Yesterday was an accident, not that I was tired the day before yesterday." ”

How could she have thought that when she woke up in bed, not only was the owner not there, but the dishes for lunch were discussed downstairs. A lazy woman like her will be disliked.

The little girl has eaten well and slept well recently, but she has gained a little weight and looks good.

Remembering that when they first came from Xijing, Qin Xiang lost a lot of weight himself, and even Xiaoyu, who had always been able to endure hardships, lost a lot of weight. A little girl of her age is only healthy if she is a little fatter, but her thin chin is pointy, which is really distressing.

But now that I eat well, although I need to be busy every day, I am not as busy as before, and I don't even have time to rest.

Seeing that the little girl's baby fat was all fat, how could Qin Xiang control his hands that were about to move.

Xiaoyu was caught off guard and pinched her face, and looked at Qin Xiang blankly.

This stupid appearance was so cute, Qin Xiang couldn't help it, and pinched it twice before laughing.

"Boss, you're playing tricks again!"

"Okay, okay, I won't tease you. Say hello to the big guys, and it's time to leave for Gancheng. ”

It rained all day last night, and the road was muddy. The carriage needs to be moved carefully, and the slightest mistake can trap the wheels in.

Qin Xiang and his entourage tossed for almost a whole day before arriving in Gancheng.

Han Yunxiao had already gotten the news and greeted him in the city. When he saw them returning, he hurried to meet them.

In front of everyone, Qin Xiang was hugged by him, embarrassed. Stretched out his hand and pushed, the man was thick-skinned and didn't take it seriously at all. Look at the surrounding group of people who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and there are also whistlers there.

Han Yunxiao knew that his wife was thin-skinned, so he coughed lightly, so that the group of boys were more restrained, and then he hugged people and walked to the city.

"Why did you go for so long?"

"You didn't receive the message I sent you yesterday?"

In this era, it is too troublesome to contact, in addition to entrusting people to deliver letters, some families will raise some birds to be responsible for communication.

"Got it, can't you worry?" Han Yunxiao looked at her and said, "Xidi Jun has been staring at the border pass for nearly a year, who knows if they will have any conspiracy." ”

Mentioning this, Qin Xiang hurriedly said: "I made some discoveries yesterday, let's go back and talk about it." ”

When she returned to the small courtyard where she was temporarily staying, she took a hot bath happily, and while wiping her hair, she mentioned to Han Yunxiao what happened to Dangya Mountain. As for Lin Zhan's existence, she subconsciously skipped it and didn't mention it. I always feel that that man is very difficult to deal with, and if Xianggong is against him, he may suffer a loss.

Han Yunxiao almost immediately understood what Qin Xiang meant, "According to what you mean, do you want to use poison?" But wouldn't that be too despicable......"

"The reason why I mention white fog is because I think this poison can cause people to faint and cause people to suffocate to death. But as long as the treatment is timely, there will be no danger to life. ”

Qin Xiang is not good at medical skills, and he has not studied the specific causes of the white mist, so it is not easy to speculate.

"We can't kill all the Sidi troops......"

The third prince of Xidi once sent people to slaughter the city, although Qin Xiang didn't see it, just by listening to the description, he knew that it was already a hell scene on earth.

Xiyan will definitely find an explanation for Sidi's slaughter of the city, but fighting is never an eye for an eye or a tooth for a tooth.

If Han Yunxiao really did this, he would definitely become a sinner for the ages.

Massacre never solves the problem.

But if he could capture all the Sidi troops without spending a single soldier, this would undoubtedly be a great feat.

Besides, neither Han Yunxiao nor Qin Xiang wanted to see the picture of soldiers meeting each other and bleeding like a river. This is also the reason why the two armies are deadlocked, and neither side can easily send troops.

Han Yunxiao did not move, which had already aroused people's dissatisfaction.

A few days ago, the prince brought a secret letter from the capital. The ministers of the DPRK and China have repeatedly demanded that Han Yunxiao be removed from his post as a garrison. and to judge him for refusing to come out of the army.

Qin Xiang does not understand politics, but he can also see the situation between the DPRK and China clearly. The civilian officials did not want to see the military attaché powerful, and tried every means to suppress the power of the military attaché, while Han Yunxiao was quite prestigious among the people. Even though he resigned for many years, after he returned to command, he still aroused the support of the people.

Han Yunxiao is like a reassuring pill for military attachés, and everyone will not panic when he has him. Qin Xiang didn't feel deeply about these things, until she went to the camp and saw that no matter how big or small the officials, they all praised Han Yunxiao, and their admiration was overflowing, and she understood.

He is like a needle that sets the sea, which is suitable for civil officials to use for surgery. Once Han Yunxiao falls, the military generals will definitely decline, and then it will be the world of civil officials.

Since ancient times, the two factions have competed with each other for power. Military attachés look down on civilian officials and will only play lip service, while civilian officials feel that military attachés have military power in their hands and are very dangerous once they become bigger. Moreover, no matter which faction grows bigger, it will threaten its own power.

As a result, the struggle for power and profit has become commonplace.

To sustain the rise and fall of a dynasty, the two factions need to maintain a balance.

Since Han Yunxiao's resignation, the military attache has come to an end, and the imperial court has become a world of civil officials. The imperial court repeatedly suppressed it, and the grain and grass sent to the border passes was less than a year a year, and the military attaché's income was also compressed. One by one, one by one, it was a decision to completely crush the border soldiers to death.

Qin Xiang felt that they might not know what the consequences of suppressing Wu would bring. Just because victory came too easily, there was less reverence. Only blindly climb up, and the rest are left behind.

If this goes on for a long time, the west will be in danger.

The old emperor understood this, which made people quietly send a letter to Gancheng. But at the same time, he himself was afraid of Han Yunxiao's power, so he arranged for the prince to go to Gancheng. Ostensibly for convenience, but in fact for the benefit of surveillance.

Fortunately, the prince has always been on the emperor's side, and he is not on Han Yunxiao's side.

The princes have always been for this country, for the sake of the people.

Who said that eunuchs are traitors, but the prince has a heart of great love for the world.

If he hadn't been enslaved in the palace because of his poor family, but had an opportunity to study, perhaps he would have become a famous minister for centuries.

The help of the prince was a great convenience for Han Yunxiao. It also helps them to better understand the divine will.

"The old emperor's meaning is very clear, he asked people to send secret letters, just to force me to send troops." When he said this, a sneer overflowed at the corner of Han Yunxiao's mouth, "The candidate for the crown prince has been decided." At this time, with the blessing of the good news of Sidi's defeat, it is undoubtedly a great news for the crown prince to succeed to the throne. ”

Everyone was persecuting them, even Qin Xiang was a little anxious.

The camp of Sidi was just outside the city of Gan, and they neither moved nor retreated. Qin Xiang doesn't understand the art of war, let alone understand these. Even Han Yunxiao couldn't figure out the context of the Xidi people, and he didn't know what they were paying attention to.

"Didn't the third son say that the old emperor of Sidi was seriously ill and died soon. But looking at the appearance of Sidijun, it doesn't seem like he's in a hurry. ”

Qin Xiang shook off the veil, leaned on Han Yunxiao's arms, sighed and said, "I'm a little worried about you. ”

"What do I have to worry about, what a fool."

"The secret letter sent by the prince seems to be a partisan dispute between the DPRK and China, but in fact, the emperor took the opportunity to put pressure on you. If you don't defend the city, the emperor will have even more reason to pinch you. ”

Back then, the old emperor was able to force Han Yunxiao to resign, although it was only five or six years in the past, but what had happened was not something that could be erased by casual talk. The old emperor was generous to Han Yunxiao on the surface, but in fact, his belly was extremely small. This time, Xidi sent troops, and the old emperor 'invited' Han Yunxiao back, just because the court and China have been suppressing military generals in the past few years, plus doing a foolish thing done by relatives, this is to use Han Yunxiao to make up for it.

If Han Yunxiao handled this matter properly, the old emperor's reward would definitely be indispensable. But correspondingly, once Han Yunxiao fails, what awaits him is not just a prison sentence.

The word "meritorious master" always represents the endless suspicion of the emperor. Except that one day Han Yunxiao really disappeared from this world, otherwise the old emperor would never let go of his jealousy of Han Yunxiao.

After analyzing it in his heart, Qin Xiang couldn't help but touch Han Yunxiao's head, and sighed in his mouth: "Alas, my father-in-law has suffered. ”

Han Yunxiao's face was inexplicable, and she didn't know where she was thinking of this. However, the lady's ideas have always been wild, and Han Yunxiao has long been used to it.

"I've been out for so long, I'm really homesick." Han Yunxiao sighed.

Thinking of the two small groups at home, Qin Xiang was also a little melancholy: "Fortunately, the two little ones have already remembered, otherwise we have been out for so long, I am really worried that when I go back, they won't even remember my father and mother." ”

Although Han Ziyan and Han Tongtong are not Qin Xiang's biological children, Qin Xiang has raised the two of them for so long, and he really regards himself as their biological mother. Now that they have been separated for half a year, it is false to say that they don't want to.
