Chapter 472: Eradication and Detailing
After Xiao Heng sent someone to send the roster once, it never appeared again, seeing that the days were passing day by day, Qian Qianqian couldn't help but worry, if Xiao Mohan was about to go on the expedition, and the roster had not yet arrived, then where should Xiao Guo go.
"Master, I found out, Xiao Heng did send someone to find Xiao Mohan, it seems that our roster has flowed out."
A man in black came in to report to Yueji, Yueji had been guarding against this day, but she didn't expect it to be unprepared, she knew that Xiao Heng would report it, but she didn't expect Xiao Heng to be so bold.
"No wonder Xiao Heng's people were always sneaking around me a few days ago, it seems that he had the idea, he wanted to use Xiao Mohan to deal with me, I didn't let him get his wish."
Yueji is not easy to provoke, this evil breath, she is not so easy to swallow, since Xiao Heng dares to do such a thing, then she also has the ability to make Xiao Heng dumb to eat Coptis chinensis.
Southern Xinjiang is located on the border of Xiao State, there are not many people, but it is very chaotic, although Xiao Heng has attracted a group of people and horses to confront the government, but in some things, Xiao Heng is also very passive.
"Lord Wang, the central country has stopped our grain and grass for the past few months, saying that there is a heavy rain on the transportation road, and the grain cannot be transported."
Xiao Heng is training soldiers and horses, and people around him have reported that these days, his soldiers and horses have eaten the grain and grass of the central country, and now the grain of the central country cannot be transported, what should he do with the soldiers? Do you all have to go hungry?
"You watch here, and the king will ask."
Xiao Heng commanded lightly, his brows furrowed, his face was slightly gloomy, although he was not angry, but his every move was full of anger, and everyone could see the anger in his heart.
Yueji was drinking tea in the house, and when she saw Xiao Heng coming, she was not surprised at all, she slowly put down the teacup in her hand, and her eyebrows and eyes fluctuated.
"The prince is here, please take a seat."
Xiao Heng walked in, glanced at Yueji coldly, and then sat down in front of Yueji.
"What do you mean by that? Cut off my food and grass, do you want to cooperate? ”
Xiao Heng didn't have a good airway, his face was gloomy, his eyes were gloomy, and his eyes were murderous.
Yueji poured Xiao Heng a cup of tea, and in the face of Xiao Heng's questioning, there was no nervousness on her face, and her movements were still gentle, as if she was an outsider.
"The prince's words are serious, I am all here, why don't I want to cooperate with you? I just want to remind you that there are some things that harm others and are not beneficial to yourself, so you should be more careful when doing them. ”
Xiao Heng is not a fool, he naturally understands the hint in Yueji's words, it seems that Yueji already knows about it, but it doesn't matter, Yueji knows it, anyway, in his opinion, it is all reasonable.
"You betrayed this king once, this breath, this king can't swallow it, no matter what, you have to give some blood, otherwise the benefits will be taken away by you, this is not appropriate."
Xiao Heng didn't drink that cup of tea, he knew Yueji's heart, maybe there was something in this tea that shouldn't be put in it, so he didn't touch it.
"Lord Wang, now we are all people in the same boat, everyone will share the benefits, and everyone will suffer if there are no benefits, why do you care so much and hold on to the previous things? What good will it do you to bring me down? ”
Yueji sneered, and felt a little helpless in her heart, she knew that Xiao Heng held a grudge, but she didn't expect Xiao Heng to hold a grudge like this, if it weren't for the fact that the war was about to break out now, she wouldn't have endured it for so long.
"You are not the king, how can you know what is in the heart of the king? The matter of grain and grass, this king knows that you are behind the ghost, if you know the current affairs, this king will laugh with you and enmity against you. ”
Xiao Heng raised his head, his posture was quite high, Yueji was full of disdain in her heart, but in order to take care of Xiao Heng's face, she didn't tear her face with him, and still forced it.
"The grain and grass transported from the central country have indeed suffered heavy rain, and now the central country is in the rainy season, and it is rainy all day, this is a natural disaster, what can I do? We can only wait for the rain to stop. ”
Yueji is not a vegetarian, she is from the central country, and it is also for the interests of the central country, so she will not consider Xiao Heng, let alone share the same hatred with Xiao Heng.
Although Xiao Heng snatched back the mine, the mine had already been dug up by the government and the essence was gone, and there was only a little leftovers leftovers, which would not last long at all, so if Yueji was a hindrance, if she really didn't give Xiao Heng food and grass, Xiao Heng would definitely encounter a big crisis.
"Okay, Tsukihime, you're ruthless enough, don't regret it!"
Xiao Heng was angry in his heart, but he was helpless, after all, with his current strength, he couldn't compete with Yueji, but he really couldn't pull off that face to compromise, so he could only brush his sleeves away.
Xiao Mohan always goes out early and returns late these days, preparing for the upcoming expedition, the current situation is tense, Xiao Guo seems to be calm as water, but in fact the waves are treacherous, so he must prepare early, lest it be too late.
Qian Qianqian was not idle, in addition to paying attention to the trends of the imperial court, she also counted the income and remaining food of this hot pot restaurant, she never told Qian Mu and a few people, in fact, she also had a business in the capital, so Qian Mu didn't know.
It's good to save Mother Qian's money from worrying about the money in Qian Qianqian's hand, if Mother Qian knows that she has opened a store in the capital, maybe there will be some trouble, so it's better to hide this matter.
Qian Fen was very depressed, when she came to the capital, she couldn't see Liu Han anymore, she was cowardly all day long, she couldn't be interested in anything, and sometimes she didn't react when she talked to her.
"Eldest sister, when can we go back to Lianzhou? I don't want to live in the capital, I want to go back to Lianzhou. ”
Qian Fen looked at Qian Qianqian pitifully, her brows furrowed, her palm-sized face was cloudy, and she looked very melancholy.
"There is about to be a war, we will go back to Lianzhou at this time, it is not safe, stay in the capital, and wait for General Xiao to return triumphantly, we will go back."
Qian Qianqian hugged Qian Fen lightly, and she didn't feel very comfortable, although she only occupied this body, and she was not really Qian Qianqian, but she had long regarded Qian Fen and the others as her own brothers and sisters.
"War? Will there be danger in that state? ”
When Qian Fen heard this, he suddenly became nervous, raised his little face, and said suspiciously.
Qian Qianqian also saw that Qian Fen was not asking if Lianzhou was in danger at all, but asking Liu Han if there would be danger, but how could she tell this kind of thing.
"Of course not, General Xiao is a victorious general, he personally went out to fight, and the people of Xiao will definitely not be in any danger, so we just need to wait for the news, and we don't have to do anything else."
Qian Qianqian shook her head, her eyes were shining when she talked about Xiao Mohan, although Xiao Mohan was not in front of her, as long as she mentioned this name, a sense of pride and admiration arose.
"Can't we bring Liu Hange's family to the capital as well? Aunt Liu'er is not in good health, if she comes to the capital, she can see a better doctor, and Aunt Liu's illness may be improved by then. ”
Qian Fen is still worried about Liu Han's family, she and Qian Xuan have always been kind, and when they come to the capital, they will not be left alone with peace of mind, think about it carefully, none of their three sisters are really like Qian's mother, they may all be more like the dead Qian Erlang.
"Aunt Liu is sick?"
Qian Qianqian was also a little surprised, she remembered that Aunt Liu was fine when she left, but it was Liu Han, who was injured before, and has not been well.
"Well, I was sick before I came to the capital, and I don't know if I'm getting better now."
Qian Fen nodded, very frustrated, Aunt Liu treated their family very well before, so Qian Fen was also quite reluctant, and she didn't have time to tell Qian Qianqian after coming to the capital.
"I'll let people go to see Aunt Liu, don't worry."
Qian Qianqian sighed in her heart, and her brows furrowed, although she is now far away in the capital, but since she knows about this matter, she will not sit idly by, Aunt Liu and Liu Han are honest people who do their duty, and they should live a long life.
"That's good, eldest sister, I've had nothing to do these days, I've embroidered a little pattern, look at it, how is the embroidery?"
Qian Fen was finally a little more relaxed, took out a Jinpa, and brought it to Qian Qianqian's eyes, as if offering a treasure.
"A pair of mandarin ducks, good, lifelike, this stitch is also very neat, it was embroidered for Liu Han."
Qian Qianqian saw at a glance that something was wrong, Qian Fen is not a person who likes female red embroidery on weekdays, she doesn't go around this great garden, she embroiders here, and she also embroiders mandarin duck birds, which must be extraordinary.
Qian Fen blushed suddenly, lowered his head timidly, and remained silent, which could be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.
"You embroider so well, if Liu Han sees it, he must be very happy, if he can marry you, it must be a blessing he cultivated in his previous life."
Qian Qianqian praised repeatedly, Qian Fen's face finally had some smiles, and seeing that Qian Fen was in a good mood, Qian Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I still don't have the eldest sister to do it, in the past few years, if there was no you at home, I'm afraid we would have starved to death."
Qian Fen admires Qian Qianqian very much in her heart, if she has the opportunity, she also wants to be a person like Qian Qianqian, but the more time passes, the more she feels that she can't do it at all.
"This is what I should do, I am your eldest sister, it is right to take care of you, Xiaofen, as a woman, it is better to be simple, I just hope that you can live happily and comfortably for the rest of your life."
Qian Qianqian touched Qian Fen's head, with a bright smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she looked very friendly.
Qian Xuan was playing with Qian Yao outside, after all, she was younger, she didn't think as much as Qian Fen, and she had a very lively time with Qian Yao.
"You are in the capital, you are idle, I will invite a master for you another day, specially teach you to read and practice calligraphy, female embroidery, you also have something to do."
Qian Qianqian spoke slowly, glanced at Qian Xuan outside, thinking that Qian Fen and Qian Xuan were not young, and they should learn something, otherwise they would not have a good time in her husband's family if they got married in the future.
"Hmm."
Qian Fen nodded again and again, knowing that Qian Qianqian was promoting good things for her and Qian, so she didn't refuse.
At night, Xiao Mohan was in the study, with a document in his hand, the candle flame was flickering, the wooden window was hidden, the cool breeze poured in, and the candle flame flickered and dimmed.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed outside, and a man broke through the window, dressed in black, covered with a black scarf, revealing only a pair of fierce eyes, which blended in with the night outside.
Xiao Mohan put down the official document in his hand, slowly raised his head, and glanced at the man coldly, without the slightest superfluous look on his face.
