When Xiao Wen escaped from Nanyun, Yan Qing gave him a plan and asked him to start attacking Nanzhou, an inconspicuous border city in Nanyun Kingdom.

At first, Xiao Wen doubted his intentions and his strategy. But the more he thought about it, the more he understood the brilliance of this plan. So, he changed his strategy and detached a team of men and horses in the new Chinese New Year's Eve to surprise Nanzhou.

Sure enough, without much effort, the city was taken.

Since then, the originally solid Nanyun Kingdom has been torn open, and he Gao Changxiong rode all the way south, like a bamboo.

Now, Gaochang has annexed Nanyun, the world is divided into three, Gaochang is no longer the poor and weak small country before, but has risen to be a strong country that can share the same color with Qi and Vietnam.

Xiao Wen's wish to strengthen the country for many years has been realized.

He was amazed by Yan Qing's talent, so he wanted to recruit him under his command. But last time, he rejected him. Therefore, after pacifying Cloud City, he came in person.

He wanted to thank him for his life-saving grace and dedication, and at the same time, he wanted to invite him to his side and give him advice.

"The tea is going to be cold, general, please take a seat." Yan Qing's expression was gentle, with a smile on his lips.

He had long known Xiao Wen's intention, and even his arrival had already been expected by him.

Xiao Wen sat down again, picked up the teacup, and drank it all.

Yan Qing held the pot and filled it for him.

"I'm here this time, and I hope Childe can help me." Xiao Wen looked at him with sincere eyes and said.

Yan Qing said with a smile: "The general's words are serious, I have nothing to help the general." ”

"You have." Xiao asked, firmly.

He was born in a family of generals in Gaochang Kingdom, but he was really unfortunate that his family had fallen since he was a child. My father died early, and my mother had no choice but to sell her ancestral property and take their sister and brother back to their hometown to make a living from farming and weaving.

But Gao Changguo rarely has good land, relying on those few acres of thin fields, the three of them can only barely make a living. Later, in order to raise tribute to Qi and Yue, the monarch levied additional taxes, and their already difficult life became even worse.

What's worse is that the Nanyun Kingdom in the east also took advantage of the fire to loot and loot. They not only robbed food and things, but also robbed people.

His sister was snatched by the soldiers of Nagumo Kingdom, and was ruined to death by those robbers.

Xiao Wen was only six years old at the time, and when he found his sister's cold body that had been humiliated in the mass grave, his little heart seemed to be torn in half.

After my sister died, my mother couldn't afford to fall ill, so she also died.

By chance, Xiao Wen joined the ranks. Originally, he was a six-year-old child who could not enlist in the army, but he was born in a general, and even if he later lived in the countryside, he did not abandon his martial arts. The conscripts saw that he was a good seedling, so they made an exception and accepted him.

Xiao Wen hated Nanyun Kingdom, and after many years in the army, he understood more and more a truth, only by making his country strong can he no longer be bullied by other countries.

Therefore, he made a will: to destroy Nagumo and strengthen the country.

Fighting on the battlefield, after years of hard work, he did it, and the entire Nanyun was incorporated into the territory of Gaochang Kingdom, and since then Gaochang has also had good land and fertile fields and Sifang ports. Even the Qi State, which has the largest territory and the strongest national strength, can no longer act rashly.

Today, the territory of Gaochang State has expanded, but the monarch is incompetent and has no way to govern. Therefore, he has to find a person with the talent of the world and latitude to resist the strong Qi and the Yue country externally, and govern the political economy internally. In this way, we can ensure that Gaochang Kingdom will not fall.

Yan Qing's appearance is like a gift from heaven to him. So, he was bound to get it.

"I want to ask my son to help me, to calm the inside and outside, and to calm the four seas." He raised his hands and saluted respectfully.

Yan Qing smiled and said: "The general should let me go, it's better to leave me in this world." ”

"Childe is eloquent and strategic, now that Gaochang Kingdom has risen, Childe doesn't want to serve his homeland?"

Yan Qing held a small tea fan in his hand, shook it gently by the stove, and said with a smile: "The general misunderstood, I am not from Gaochang country, so naturally I did not serve my homeland." ”

Serving the homeland? It's a joke. He is the opposite of his ambition, he was born to perish.

Xiao Wen was slightly stunned, he is not from Gaochang country? So why did he help him?

"I just saw that Nanyun's qi was exhausted, so I helped the general." Yan Qing said again.

The tea on the stove has been boiled, and the fragrance of tea wafts slowly.

Yan Qing held the pot and filled the empty teacup for Xiao Wen.

"Spring is short, the general has finished drinking this cup, please leave." His voice was leisurely, drifting among the sparse sycamore leaves.

Xiao Wen stared at him: "Childe really shouldn't want me?" ”

Yan Qing didn't answer directly, raised his eyes and looked at the daylight: "It's not early, Ah Li is coming back soon, I still have to go shopping and cooking with her, so I won't leave the general." ”

Such an unceremonious eviction order.

Xiao Wen's eyes were full of persistence, but in the end, he didn't dwell on it anymore, drank the tea in the cup, and got up to say goodbye.

Yan Qing didn't get up to see him off, but looked at his back and said: "The road ahead is long, I give the general a word, don't be rash." ”

Xiao Wen didn't understand what he meant, but he didn't answer, turned to him, and saluted again.

Yan Qing bowed his head slightly, as a return salute.

With a "squeak", the mottled wooden door was opened, and Xiao Wen came in through this gate and went out through this gate.

Yan Qing watched the two doors in front of him slowly close, a smile on his lips, and scooped some snow water from the light glazed porcelain jar last year and added it to the red clay small tea stove.

If he agrees to Xiao Wen's request today, then he can only become Xiao Wen's staff, and make suggestions and contribute to his heroic deeds in pacifying the eight directions.

But he wanted more than that.

Xiao Wen is different from Zhang Xuechu and other people who surrender to him and are used by him, he has real skills, but he also has a high spirit. But this man is necessary for him. He is not in a hurry, slowly wears it out, and slowly draws it out.

It won't be long before Xiao Wen will definitely come back.

Yan Qing smiled indifferently, watching the tea in the red clay teapot boiling, bubbling white bubbles and turning green waves.

When the tea was boiled, he casually extinguished the embroidered carcoal under the tea stove, but did not drink it.

Time flies so fast, it's almost noon, where did Ah Li go?

It should be that she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to find Xiangxian, but there is nowhere else for her to go except there.

At this moment, Gu Li was whispering with Xiang Xian.

Xiang Xian deliberately sent her nephew and Jin Zhi out, leaving Gu Li to speak alone.

"Sister Gu, I confessed to him." Xiangxian looked at Gu Li and said, there was not the slightest shyness on her face, but she was a little confused.

Gu Li didn't interject and waited for her next step.

"But he didn't say anything, just leave me and leave." Xiang Xian frowned, as if he was puzzled.

"Sister Gu, you say, what does he mean by this?"

"Does he like me?"
