Chapter 80: Xie Huan enters the mansion
"Sister?" The man in blue bowed respectfully.
"Yun'er, you're too anxious." She is not a bystander, she is a woman who has guarded the border for many years, and she is a woman who is invincible to the Great Xia and does not give up an inch of land. General Xie with an army of 100,000 - Xie Huan!
The man in blue is her sixteen-year-old brother - Xie Yun.
Xie Yun was young, and he had been under the wing of the eldest sister for many years, so he looked a little impetuous, "Sister, it must be the old horseman of the regent." β
Xie Huan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Rotten the words in your stomach." Then glancing at the dead bodies everywhere, Xie Huan took a deep breath, "You don't have to stay, go back to Beijing overnight." With that, he turned over and got on his horse. Clean, "Let's go!" β
A horse roared, and the family behind him will be in unison.
Military orders are like mountains. It's child's play.
The sound of horses' hooves echoed in the cold night. On the way back to Beijing, there have been more than one attack, and some have been solved in advance. Xie Huan knew that some words would be boring.
has guarded the border for many years, and she is different from those officials in the DPRK and China who talk about war on paper. Those are just words but not practice, and she has always practiced what she says. Just imagine, a woman can lead tens of thousands of troops at the border pass, and she has to convince the soldiers, in addition to extraordinary martial arts, she must also have courage that is different from ordinary people.
Following his father's spirit, he joined the army for the first time, and mixed in the pile of men, Xie Huan never regretted it.
The Xie family has been loyal and good generals for generations. The family motto is strict. Even if she is a woman, she must think of the king and serve the country, and she is worthy of heaven and earth. It is better to die on the battlefield for the army than to glorify the court.
rushed back non-stop, and when they arrived outside the capital, Xie Huan's sister and brother did not enter the city directly. Someone was already waiting at the side door, Xie Huan and Xie Yun abandoned the carriage and slowly entered the city with the carriage.
The carriage swayed, and the ten-mile long street reached midnight. It's still bustling.
Flower Street Willow Lane, bright spring, a good scene of singing and dancing.
"The capital is still the same. The new look changes the old look, and what remains unchanged is still those extravagant winds. Xie Huan picked up a crack in the window, looked at the warbler Yanyan outside, and sighed lightly.
The soldiers at the border pass exchanged their blood for such comfort.
But after a long time of comfort, these people lost their fighting spirit.
Born in comfort, died in sorrow.
Li Huan smiled, "Not really, the world is so big, there are many people who are worried about the fortunes of the country, but the general has never seen it!" β
Xie Huan chuckled, "The prince is one of them. β
Li Huan smiled and said nothing.
As for the Rui Wang's Mansion, enter through the side door and proceed with caution.
The Rui Wang's Mansion at midnight is extremely quiet.
Li Huan led the way and directly led Xie Huan and Xie Yun to the study.
Zhao Shuo was already waiting there.
"The last general will see the prince." Xie Huan and Xie Yun both knelt on one knee and performed the martial arts salute.
"Hurry up." Zhao Shuo personally stepped forward and picked up the two, "It's been hard all the way." β
Xie Huan smiled, "The heart is like an arrow, and I don't dare to say bitterness." β
Zhao Shuo nodded, "Come back quickly." β
Xie Yun said with a smile, "As soon as the prince's letter arrived, we ran and killed three horses along the way, can we not be happy?" β
"I've grown a lot taller." Zhao Shuo looked at Xie Yun, "It's a man." "Low liver formation.
"In the future, I will fight on the battlefield for my sister and make contributions to Dayan, and I dare not be a man." Xie Yun's face was still a little childish, and his eyes were very bright.
Zhao Shuo took a deep breath, "Very good, the iron-boned man should be like this, and the same is true for Zheng Zheng women." β
Xie Yun nodded heavily, "But whoever can use our sister and brother, the prince just commands, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, Xie Yun will not hesitate!" β
"Your father has a spirit in heaven, and he should be gratified." Zhao Shuo patted Xie Yun's shoulder.
Xie Huan nodded, "The Xie family was in trouble that day, if it weren't for the prince's efforts to rehabilitate the Xie family, our sister and brother would have been dead souls under the knife." The Xie family was able to regroup and serve the imperial court, thanks to the rescue of the prince. Without the prince, there would be no Xie Huan today, and the end will be grateful. β
Zhao Shuo said with a smile, "General Xie is loyal to the country, and the Xie family has been loyal for generations, how can there be any reason not to save it?" It's a pity that the Xie family is full of punishments, and only the two of you are left. Fortunately, the emperor's grace is mighty, and you are also fighting for your own strength, competing to win the handsome, and winning the handsome flag in one fell swoop. This is the first female general of Dayan today! β
All three chuckled.
"Lord Wang, the Great Xia Mission is coming to the court, I'm afraid that the comer is not good." Xie Huan said, "I have been at war with Great Xia for many years, and the people of Great Xia are cunning and treacherous, so you can't be gullible. These people all covet the territory of my Great Swallow, and they cannot be conceded to each other. β
Zhao Shuo sat down, took a sip of fragrant tea and said with a smile, "People, you can send it to your relatives, but the land is naturally not allowed to give up an inch of land." I'm not worried that the people who come to Daxia are not good, but I am worried that there are people in the court who don't do good deeds. β
Xie Yun nodded, "Dongfang Yue will definitely not let go of this opportunity." β
"If the emperor agrees to make peace, and Daxia and Dayan negotiate peace, Dongfang Yue will definitely find an excuse to weaken the military power in my hands and deprive me of my position in the army on the grounds of sincerity." Xie Huan is not a fool, and harmony means that both parties must show sincerity. The most direct sincerity is to reduce the number of garrisons at the border passes.
The hundreds of thousands of Xie Jiajun that he had worked so hard to train were to be incorporated into other people's pockets like this, and Xie Huan was naturally unwilling.
"Everything can change." Zhao Shuo's eyes were gloomy, "Respond to all changes with the same." The more Dongfang wants to cover the sky with one hand, he also has to ask me if I agree. The matter of harmony is indeed imperative, but the matter of the border guards is not his own decision. β
Xie Yun nodded, "With the prince here, we will naturally rest assured, I am afraid that Dongfang Yue will not be able to make a plan and make another plan, and we will have to guard against the villain." β
Zhao Shuo let out a long breath, "Tomorrow the emperor will summon you into the palace, you should be careful." β
"After so many years, isn't it like this all the way back?" Xie Huan sighed lightly, "The last general knows how important it is. β
"I'll ask Li Huan to send you out." Zhao Shuo put down the cup.
As if remembering something, Xie Huan suddenly said, "By the way, Lord Wang, half a month ago, I met a person at the border pass, very similar to Zhu Cheng." At that time, the last general did not startle the snake, and asked the inn where the man was staying, saying that this person was about to go to Beijing. If he is really Zhu Cheng, according to the itinerary, he will probably have arrived in the capital. β
Zhao Shuo frowned, "Arrived?" β
"It's just that it looks alike, but whether it's him or not, the last general can't see clearly." Xie Huan took a deep breath, "It was night and there was no light, but it did have a seven-point similarity. The last general had only seen this person when he was a child, and after many years, he couldn't tell the difference. β
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Shuo said, "He will come sooner or later, not to mention that his little apprentice is still with me." Others may not recognize him, but his own apprentices should always know Master! β
"Zhu Cheng's apprentice?" Xie Huan was stunned, "It turns out that the prince has been prepared for a long time." β
Xie Yun frowned, "Does this apprentice know the inside story?" β
Zhao Shuo shook his head, "If you know, you don't have to stay until now." She didn't know anything, not even her master, and she was burdened with the rise and fall of Dayan Jiangshan. β
Xie Huan sighed lightly, "Not knowing, it's much better than knowing." β
"You guys go back first!" Zhao Shuo got up, "The king of Ming Japan will go to the palace with you." β
Xie Huan bowed his head, "Lord Xie." β
Li Huan carefully sent the two out of the house and out of the city, but Zhao Shuo frowned, everything began to proceed in an orderly manner, and he had been painstakingly lonely for so many years, hoping that everything could move forward according to his plan.
If there is a slight accident, the whole game will be lost.
He can't afford to lose, and he can't lose.
When he went back to the room, there was some movement in the ear room, Zhao Shuo frowned, and quietly stood outside the window, looking at the restless woman inside through a very thin window crack.
In the middle of the night, everyone slept, and she became active.
On the bed was her baby bump, and she had held the gold-inlaid jade tiles for two days, first wrapped in a layer of oiled paper, and then wrapped in gray broken steps on the outside. Then he took a ribbon and wrapped it carefully.
There was nothing to hide inside or outside the room, and she thought about it, lifted the curtain on the wall of the bed, raised a brick on the wall, and carefully tucked the package in. She went to get the paste and pasted a layer of paper on the outside of the package, so that she would not find the baby bumps inside through the curtains.
He is really a thief, and he knows where to hide his things safely.
Zhao Shuo frowned, isn't it just a piece of gold and jade? This girl is really like a bodhisattva! He rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, but it was a pity that she was so dense that she taught him to look at it right.
Providence!
After doing all this, Xia Yu was relieved.
Very good, after saving Huzi's dowry, it's time to save the dowry for Shuying.
I hope that the stupid and stupid Ye Eryu can give herself more gifts, she is not too much, just a few more gold and jade! Lying on the bed, she thought that when she won the 50,000 taels of silver, she would not be afraid of Zhao Laojiu's account books. How much do you want, how much does she have, are you still afraid that she will not be free?
Butβshe remembered the beard, the eyes, the shuffle, it really looked like the Master.
But it is impossible for the master to appear in the capital, and that person should not be the master.
Didn't Master say that? In this life, he will not enter the Imperial City.
Xia Yu frowned, why did Zhao Laojiu look for Master? What is in Master's body?
Suddenly, her eyes widened suddenly, could it be that they were all looking for that?
