The second prince was very happy.

In order to make up for his faux pas, he will compensate Xiahou Yu with a large sum of money, so as to avoid increasing the annual tribute.

Of course, he was not reluctant to pay that tribute, and he didn't take it out of his treasury anyway, but it was still very troublesome to talk about the amount of the tribute. The most important thing is that he is afraid of long nights and dreams, and his fourth emperor brother changes his mind and asks someone else to send Empress Dowager Gu and King Qin to Chang'an City to take up the domain, and the plan to kill the five princes will fail.

He raised his glass again to toast Xiao Huan.

Xiao Huan knew very well in his heart that if he proposed to Bei Liang again to increase the amount of annual tribute, he had to explain the reason to Jiankang City, so that Lu Yuan would have the opportunity and reason to attack him. Instead of this, he did not compensate Xiahou Yu.

After all, it was he who hurt Xiahou Yu.

He also smiled and raised his glass to the second prince, but he was thinking about who to leave in Chang'an City.

No matter how well the words are said, no matter how beautifully things are done, it is only on the surface. Xiao Huan and the second prince didn't trust each other. The bonfire dinner that was supposed to be scheduled for the evening was placed at noon, and the whole sheep that was supposed to appear at the dinner party was also set up on the bonfire in advance. But after using the roasted lambs, they dispersed while it was still early.

It's just that each other is afraid that the other will play tricks and set up an ambush on the road.

But there are some gestures that need to be sufficient.

Before leaving, the second prince took Xiao Huan's hand and affectionately told him that he must go to Beiliang to see him when he is free, and Xiao Huan also sincerely invited the second prince to Xiangyang as a guest.

The second prince laughed, saying "certainly, definitely", while winking at the person behind him.

There was a military general, Hu Ren, who led more than 20 beautiful women of all colors to come over here.

"I'm sorry!" The second prince sighed regretfully, "Today I have wronged the female dependents of the governor. These people should be regarded as compensation from me, and ask the governor to laugh and accept them. ”

This is the end of the gold, silver, jewelry and beauty to give.

Xiahou Yu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Those beauties ranged from twelve or three years old to twenty-five or six years old, some were pure Hu people, and some were obviously of Han blood, with black hair and black eyes, but their facial features were deeper than those of Han people, and they were more beautiful than pure Han people.

Seeing Xiahou Yu like this, the second prince seemed to think it was very interesting, and hurriedly said: "They are all female slaves, and they are handled by the governor and their families." ”

The court only had lowly nationality and no female slaves, but Beiliang still maintained the customs of the grassland tribes.

Of course, the children born to slave girls are also slaves, and it is impossible to inherit the family business, so there is no threat to those noble ladies.

Xiahou Yu knew what the second prince meant by the glance at her.

She couldn't help but secretly despise the second prince.

Xiao Huan accepted the person without changing his face.

But on the way back, I was obviously much more careful.

Xiahou Yu guessed that he was probably afraid that there were spies in this batch of female slaves, so he couldn't help but say: "Since you are not at ease, why do you still accept it!" ”

Xiao Huan smiled: "Didn't you persuade me to put interests first?" I've seen it, and the slave girls he sent are all good-looking, and they can be sold for a good price. ”

Xiahou Yu was dumbfounded.

Xiao Huan laughed.

Xiahou Yu thought that Xiao Huan was joking, who knew that Xiao Huan had entered the customs and ordered Wu Qiao: "Send people to Hulan, and sell them all to those people from the Western Regions." ”

"Ahh Even Wu Qiao was very surprised.

Xiao Huan listened, glanced at Xiahou Yu, and said, "Maybe there is something you like, it's good to stay and serve you." ”

Maybe he suffered too much at the hands of the Hu people, he knew that many of the nobles in the north had some hobbies in the early years, and they liked to buy Hu slaves and raise them as animals.

Xiahou Yu showed a disgusted expression when he heard this, and said, "I just felt a little surprised." ”

Was it an accident in his decision? Or was it unexpected that he was ruthless?

Xiao Huan didn't ask.

Before Wu Qiao went to Hulan, he deliberately found Xiahou Yu and said: "The people of the Western Regions are also Hu people, but because they belong to different tribes, we are called them in order to distinguish them." If these female slaves are brought to Jiankang City, I am afraid that few of them will be able to live well. Sold to the people of the Western Regions, they all look similar, and those who are clever can have hope of surviving, and even have the opportunity to marry a better husband and live an ordinary life. We also saved a lot of trouble. ”

Xiahou Yu didn't know whether Wu Qiao's own meaning was or Xiao Huan's entrustment, she smiled and said, "I know! There are still a bunch of troubles over there in Jiankang City! ”

Xiao Huan's Northern Expedition won a big victory, and he hadn't taken out the money and materials of the victory to hit the powerful ministers in the court, as well as Lu Yuan, who was busy quelling the killing of Jiancheng Kangli some time ago, and was dealing with Lu Huai's defeat for the time being, but when Xiao Huan went to Jiankang City to report on his work, the situation was different. Not to mention the exploits, he will definitely not let go of this trophy. And then there is her uncle, who got his wish and took Lu Yang and became the secretary of the Duzhi book. Who will be the assassin of Jingzhou? Whether the new assassin can willingly accept Xiao Huan's control is the difficulty they put in front of them one by one after returning to Xiangyang.

They made it all the way back to Chang'an City.

Zheng Duo and the others had already packed their bags in Chang'an City, and they only needed to wait for the envoys sent by Jiankang City to pack their things and set off.

The second prince who returned to Beiliang was also the same as the eldest prince Tuoba Shou, and he wrote a book to prepare to return to the domain.

The emperor of Beiliang rewarded the two brothers with a large amount of money and goods and personally saw them off.

Xiao Huan left Wu Qiao and a group of men and horses to wait for the arrival of next spring.

Xiahou Yu and Xiao Huan returned to Xiangyang City before the beginning of winter.

The people, squires and celebrities welcomed Xiao Huan's return.

Xiahou's righteous envoys had also been waiting in Xiangyang City for a long time.

Xiao Huan was named the governor of the capital, and the governor of the festival and the governor of the military of the three states of Yu and Xu.

In other words, Xiao Huan sat in the original position of Lu Huai and was transferred from the west to the north.

Xiahou Yu was stunned and said, "Are we going to Yangzhou?" After speaking, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed his words: "The governor is going to Yangzhou!" ”

Xiao Huan didn't say anything.

When he heard Xiahou Yu's sentence "We are going to Yangzhou", he actually thought it was very good.

Just like when they were in Xiangyang and Chang'an City, the two can talk together in their spare time, they can go horseback riding together, the scenery of Yangzhou is much better than that of Chang'an City and Xiangyang, and Xiahou Yu can also grow flowers, raise fish or something.

The exquisite courtyard, the gentle wind and drizzle in the south of the Yangtze River, and the flowers are full of flowers, which also sets off Xiahou Yu's character and living habits.

That's good.

But "the governor is going to Yangzhou", but one sentence made Xiao Huan's heart feel like a scoop of cold water had been poured on him.

Those beautiful scenes are gone, not to mention, and it reminds him of the inexplicable title - the Metropolitan Governor.

Since the founding of this dynasty, I have only heard of the Great Sima, the Great General, and the Great Situ, and I have not heard of anyone who has been appointed as the Grand Governor.

Is it that after he made military exploits, he was afraid that the reward was low enough to convince the public, and the reward was high Lu Yuan was unwilling, did Xie Danyang and others come up with it out of nothing?

He was always paying attention to Jiankang City, but he didn't get the news in advance, because his people couldn't find out such news? Or is it because there is something hidden from him?

What is the scene on the other side of Jiankang City now?

Xiahou Yu also fell silent with Xiao Huan's silence.

The history of Yangzhou Thorn has great authority due to its special geographical location, and has always been served by the great Sima or the confidant of the general.

How did this position give Xiao Huan?

What happened when she wasn't in Jiankang City?

Xiao Huan and Xiahou Yu both wanted to return to Jiankang City as soon as possible.
