"Father-in-law is angry." Seeing that Qin Huaiyuan was really angry, he immediately knelt down without saying a word and unequivocally, not caring at all about his identity as a prince and the commander of the Great Zhou Tiger Army.

"My father-in-law is angry, no matter how he reprimands, don't say such heart-piercing words. I know that my sister must suffer greatly from this war, not only Sister Yi'er, but also the people, so I forcibly invited my father-in-law to come today.

"My father-in-law is a man with good eyes and ears, and he is clever, where will he not know the involuntary body of his son-in-law? You feel sorry for the people, you feel sorry for Sister Yi'er, no matter how you scold me, just don't say that I don't cherish her, I am now like a knife. ”

Xiao Xiao hung his head and knelt, the more he talked, the more depressed he became, in fact, he didn't blame Qin Huaiyuan for being angry with him.

He just listened to Huzi describe the tragic situation in Kyoto City, and he couldn't stop feeling distressed, and then he thought that Qin Yining was in such an environment, the injuries on his body were not healed, and he had to starve all day long, he was already heartbroken, not to mention that Qin Huaiyuan was in it all day?

Qin Huaiyuan lowered his eyes and looked at Xiao Xiao, and he didn't know what to do with him for a while.

From the perspective of the state, this person is a sinner who wants to pacify Dayan.

But from a personal point of view, this person is an outstanding young man, Yunwen and Yunwu, both talented and beautiful, sincere to his daughter, and in terms of plotting and conquest, he not only shows his strategy, but also has a benevolent heart and loves the people, which can be seen from the fact that he resisted the decree and refused to slaughter the city.

Qin Huaiyuan sat down tiredly, rubbed his forehead and said, "How is it in Xihua City now." ”

How smart he was, as soon as he heard Qin Huaiyuan ask, he knew that his father-in-law was not so angry that he didn't want to admit him anymore, this was to give him a chance.

Xiao Xiao immediately said: "Xi Huacheng is all right. ”

"But what I heard is that there are ten rooms and nine emptiness in Xihua City, and the people have been killed by your tiger army, and their heads are hung as lanterns on high poles." Qin Huaiyuan sneered, "Are you fooling me?" ”

"Father-in-law Mingjian, that's just a strategy to disturb the enemy." In fact, it was to save his wife's book, but he wouldn't say that if he was killed, he wouldn't say that.

Seeing this, Huzi, who was kneeling with him, also explained: "Back to Master Qin, my prince did not kill innocents indiscriminately, those people who were at the head of Xihua City Gate were all those who did not do good things in the city, and after the prince entered the city, he made a secret visit, and recorded those who were called by the common people as why they were skinned, what Hades and other rich and unkind people, once their crimes were verified, they were severely sentenced." ”

"It's because you're here to do chivalry." Qin Huaiyuan's anger in his heart had disappeared a lot, but he was still awkward looking at Xiao Xiao, so he simply turned his face to the side and refused to look at him.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly thought that his son-in-law's identity could still be kept, so he hurriedly kowtowed again, and said: "Father-in-law, the son-in-law will never dare to do anything that loses his conscience, but war is war, we stand on different camps, and there will always be a time when we can't help ourselves." ”

Xiao Xiao knelt up straight, observed Qin Huaiyuan's expression, and saw that he was not displeased, so he continued: "Just like my father-in-law's heart, didn't he give up defending the city for the sake of the people?" ”

Qin Huaiyuan's heart shook when he heard this, and he closed his eyes and sighed softly.

On the one hand, whether the Great Yan Imperial Family can continue to rule this territory, and on the other hand, the people on the territory are sacrificed because of the power of the superior, how could he not have this kind of thought? It's just that he is also a turbid person in the end, and he can't be this budding bird.

"You get up, as the prince, the commander of the first army, what is the matter if you kneel when you see the old man."

If you don't kneel, you won't be angry! If I see your old man and set up a score, can I continue to talk about this!

Xiao Xiao was relieved in his heart, so he stood up, went to serve noodles, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law has been in a coma for a day and hasn't eaten yet, so let's eat the noodles first, and then let's continue talking." ”

Qin Huaiyuan didn't have much appetite, people have been hungry for a long time, their stomachs seem to have become smaller, and they don't have such a big appetite.

However, looking at the noodles brought by Xiao Xiao, the noodle soup is transparent, the noodles are slender and even, and the green vegetables and green onions are sprinkled on top, which is fragrant and appetizing.

Qin Huaiyuan didn't want the prince of a big Zhou to always carry a bowl for himself, so he took it and drank a sip of soup with a spoon first, the entrance was refreshing, fresh and salty, and he couldn't help but arouse people's appetite, so he simply raised his spoon and ate it.

When he saw that his father-in-law was willing to eat the noodles he cooked, he let go of his heart a little.

When Qin Huaiyuan finished eating the noodles, Huzi brought another bowl of tea and said, "Master Qin, please use it." ”

Qin Huaiyuan rinsed his mouth, and then said, "This noodle is cooked well." ”

"Father-in-law thinks it's good, that's the blessing of this noodle, Sister Yi also likes to eat the noodles I cooked." Thinking of Qin Yining, the smile on his face softened a little.

"You cooked it?"

"Yes, my son-in-law opened a restaurant at home before joining the army, and he likes to cook, so he learned a few tricks from his grandfather and the chef he invited."

"Hmm." Qin Huaiyuan lowered his eyes and pondered, Xiao Xiao had already expressed his sincerity very clearly, he could no longer continue to pose his identity, one was that it was not beneficial to the two countries, and the other was afraid that he would wronged his daughter, what if Sister Yi still had feelings for this kid? Nor can they mix their good deeds.

Qin Huaiyuan stood up and said solemnly: "Fang Cai is speaking in a private capacity, now let's talk about business, the prince invited this official to come today, is there something important?" ”

Xiao Xiao secretly praised the wit of the old man, which attributed the scene of Fang Cai to personal grievances, and did not affect the relationship between the two countries at all.

He was also happy to do so, so he took out a thick letter from his bosom and said, "Master Qin, I invite you to come here privately today, just to find a way for the people here. Please look at this letter. ”

Qin Huaiyuan took it strangely, and at first glance, the handwriting on the envelope changed color.

Qin Huaiyuan has always had the ability to never forget, and he can distinguish the handwriting of his colleagues, and the handwriting on this envelope is clearly that of Li Mian, the Duke of Anguo!

Thinking about An Guogong's attitude towards the war, he had already guessed a few things about the content of the letter, hurriedly opened the letter, and read it at a glance.

This is a letter of submission.

The general content is that as long as Prince Zhongshun says a word and agrees on the time, Duke An Guo is willing to open the city gate to welcome the Tiger Ben Army into Beijing, and is also willing to cut off the head of the Taishi Qin Huaiyuan to avenge Prince Zhongshun and express his sincerity.

The most important thing is that at the end of the petition, a long list is entered.

In this list, each name is written in blood, and the handwriting of each name is different, and behind each name, there is a handprint.

It turned out to be the generals who included ninety percent of Dayan, and nearly half of the Wenchen!

Qin Huaiyuan smiled sadly, how can this battle be fought? I can't fight anymore!

"I see." Qin Huaiyuan calmly put the letter into the envelope, "This letter, this official will also present it to the emperor." ”

Xiao Xiao nodded and said, "Master Qin don't worry. The king promises that he will not kill a single person in vain. "It's a promise not to kill people. is also to guarantee not to kill Qin Huaiyuan.

Qin Huaiyuan laughed, "The official naturally trusts the prince, since you can bring the official out, then send me back." ”
