Guangling is located on the north side of the Yangtze River and belongs to the jurisdiction of Xuzhou.

When Xie An invited himself to the Northern Expedition, Sima Yao gave him a seemingly great authority, and ordered him to "unify the military of fifteen states", including Xuzhou.

It's just that these fifteen states are all on the north side of the Yangtze River, and they are the newly defeated territory of the Xie family's northern mansion soldiers, and they belong to the war-torn areas that are not very peaceful. Mainly after the southern crossing, all the families were frightened, and they never dared to return to the north, so the emperor simply waved his pen and gave it all to Xie An, anyway, if you have soldiers, you will be responsible for your own profits and losses, and if you can pay the money, you will pay the money, and if you can't pay it, we will not force you.

Xie Xuan also led the history of Xu Yan and the two states, and every inch of land here was taken back from Fu Jian by Xie Xuan and the Beifu soldiers. Therefore, the residents of this land can be said to know that there is only the Xie family, but not the Sima family.

Guangling was an important military town at that time, echoing the Jingkou in the south of the Yangtze River, and was one of the most important military barriers in the north of Jiankang, so it was also the safest place in Xuyan and Xuzhou.

The journey from Jiankang to Guangling was not far, but because it was late, crossing the river was relatively dangerous in ancient times, so the Xie family's team rested for the night at Qixia Mountain, north of Jiankang.

Even if the Xie family retreated from the court, they were still very particular about their daily life, Xie An's housekeeper chose a temple at the foot of Qixia Mountain where the incense was not flourishing as a place to stay, and the leading house slaves and servants arranged them with their own curtains and bedding, and even the bath barrels were brought by themselves, which were the ones that the masters were accustomed to.

Hagi Niang was in Xie Yan's car, she was obediently held in his arms, fine sweat appeared on her forehead, and her soft hair was casually attached to her cheeks, maybe because she didn't have a good rest yesterday and today, and she was sleeping groggily. Xie Yan didn't feel sleepy, he lifted the curtain on the window lattice a little and observed the night outside. The familiar faces of the busy house slaves looked very friendly against the background of the torches, even if it was a strange place, as long as there were close people, the anxiety in the heart would be slightly reduced.

Probably because of the slight movement of his body, the woman in his arms stretched out, woke up, and opened a pair of confused eyes.

"Oops!" As soon as Haginiang woke up and found that she was actually nestled in Xie Yan's arms, she was nervous, and quickly sat up and asked, "Why are you holding me?" ”

Xie Yan said expressionlessly: "You squeezed it by yourself, and it made my legs hurt, and you even beat me upside down." ”

yes, I didn't know I was sleeping so badly.

Hagi Niang was very weak-hearted, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." While reaching out to rub his legs, this action was very natural, and she reacted when she touched his clothes.

She embarrassedly let go of his shirt and said, "You...... Rub it yourself, but are you numb? ”

Xie Yan said confidently: "Aren't you willing to serve me, it's only natural for the slave and maid to help the master rub his legs." ”

yes, it's really shaking.

Hagi Niang glanced at him, lifted the curtain and looked out the window, and asked, "It's already dark, haven't you arrived in Guangling yet?" ”

Xie Yan was still thinking about her little hand, and he said absentmindedly: "Stay in Qixia tonight, and cross the river early tomorrow morning, although the weather is warm now, there is always a danger in crossing the river at night, in case someone falls into the water, it will be troublesome." After crossing the river, it will be not far from Guangling, and you will be there tomorrow. ”

In ancient times, there were four important rivers, called the "Four Evils", namely "River, River, Huai, and Ji", which were the Yangtze River, the Yellow River, the Huai River, and the Jishui.

Therefore, the ancients called the Yangtze River "river water".

The main territory of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was in the east of the "Jiang", that is, south of the Yangtze River. And the Guangling they are going to is north of the "Jiang", that is, north of the Yangtze River.

Hagi Niang frowned and asked, "So we are not far from Jiankang now, and we are still in Jiangdong?" ”

Xie Yan looked at her strangely and said, "Are you sleepy, have you crossed the river, you don't even know?" We were in a horse-drawn carriage all the way, and if we crossed the river, we had to change ferries. ”

Hagi Niang is embarrassed, she used to cross the Yangtze River in minutes, just cross the bridge by car, how can she have the concept of "crossing the river".

She no longer dwelled on the question, but asked vigilantly, "How many guards are there in our traveling team?" ”

Xie Yan liked her seriousness very much, and said with a smile: "Escorting us are one hundred and fifty house slaves with weapons, although they are not powerful guards, it is impossible for ordinary little thieves to dare to come and send them to death." ”

He saw that Haginiang's hair was a little messy, so he knocked on the wall of the car and told the house slave to go to the car behind him and call Tang'er.

Cai Tang came over happily, and she smiled at Hagi Niang with her shiny and beautiful eyes. Xie Yan instructed her to help Haginiang cut her hair, and Cai Tang said: "The girl's makeup is in the carriage of the Zang family, and the slave maid will go and get it." ”

Xie Yan stopped her and said, "No need, just use my comb to comb it casually, I'm just afraid that my father will see the misunderstanding after a while." ”

Hagi Niang was ashamed, and felt that what he said was reasonable, so she turned her face and asked Caitang to comb her hair.

Xie Yan teased her: "It turns out that you even brought the dowry, which is really sincere." ”

In ancient times, makeup was a very private thing, and at the same time, makeup also had the meaning of dowry, so Xie Yan used this to make fun of her.

How could Haginiang take care of him, silently silent.

There was not much light in the car, except for an oil lamp with a yellow flame in the corner.

Caitang turned on the light and scattered Hagi Niang's hair and combed it carefully.

According to common sense, the appearance of a woman's makeup can't be seen by a man other than her husband, but Haginiang didn't think of this for a while, and although Caitang thought of it, she didn't want to say it.

Hagi Niang turned her face away because she was shy, and turned her back to Xie Yan. Her long, ungrown hair hung down in a fan-shaped shape at her side, dark and thick, yet very soft. She was dressed in a moon-white plain robe, with long sleeves and hems dragging behind her, looking very delicate and delicate.

Xie Yan restrained his urge to grab a handful of her long hair and play with it in his hand, and tried not to look at her with his side face, but his face was slightly red. These two people look like two awkward couples, Cai Tang smiled sweetly, I don't know how happy she was.

The hair seemed to have been combed for a long time, and the subtle atmosphere between the two continued, until Cai Tang said happily: "Girl, comb it, the slave and maid retire~" dragged on for a long time, and no matter how you listen to it, it is a little ridiculous for her.
