The county lord of Qingchuan practiced in the Hexi Army, and for the Xiao family, she was not worried about what she found out - everything in the army was according to the rules, and she was not worried that she was familiar with the military affairs of the Hexi Army - it was strange that this county lord had practiced in various armies for so many years and was not familiar with military affairs, nor was she worried about her influence on the upper generals - the generals loyal to the Xiao clan would not change their position because of the arrival of the county lord, and it was just right to test which generals were reliable, which were wavering, and which were unavailable, but, The will of an army does not depend only on the will of the generals at the top, but also on the "support of the people."

The Tang Dynasty's army, including the Hexi Army, is of course respectful to the royal family, but this respect is because of the status of the imperial power, not from the heart, compared to the prestige of the Lanling Xiao clan in Hexi for more than 170 years is better than the prestige of the royal family, but at this moment, the five thousand cavalry on the school field shouted out the "Tang Dynasty might" is from their inner respect, because the Qingchuan county lord convinced them, at this moment "Tang might" is equal to the royal family.

If it is such an emperor of the Tang Empire, these sergeants will be uniformed, then they must be served.

The respect that comes from the heart of people is the most indelible.

Xiao Cong was glad in his heart at this time, this cousin of the county lord will be crowned in February next year, and he will leave Hexi in September or October at most, and he will not stay in the army for long, and the impact will not be too far-reaching, and they can slowly smooth it out.

Moreover, although most of today's limelight is occupied by the county lord of Qingchuan, Xiao Cong is not without gains, although Xiao Yan's hand is not as good as the county lord of Qingchuan, but he properly overwhelms the whole army, as the younger brother of the prince, that is to act on behalf of the prince. Although it is a little regrettable that it is not the prince of the world who personally made a move, but as the governor of Hexi, the most important thing is not personal martial arts, but the strategy and command ability, as long as Xiao Cong has these two items, and has the assistance of talented and brave people, the soldiers of Hexi will obey. This reason is very simple, just like Wei Yun, any sergeant in the camp first is better than him in terms of archery and horses, but the whole Weisheng army obeys him, this is the difference between the military general and the battalion general, the battalion general general, the army general general, and the Hexi metropolitan governor is the general of the general - of course, if both civil and military is the icing on the cake.

Therefore, although the county lord of Qingchuan made Xiao Cong feel more threatening, his goal had been achieved, and his mentality was quite cheerful, but when he saw the county lord of Qingchuan hand back the bow, the admiration on Xiao Yan's face was not good.

I can't stay in this Weizhou!

After Xiao Cong went back, he deleted the patrol plan behind, of course, Xiao Yan was just one of the factors, the main reason was that the county lord of Qingchuan was here, and his patrol was a foil, he didn't want to be a green leaf, so he simply left in advance, Weizhou could come to patrol at any time in the future, there was no need to mix with the county lord at this time, it became her embellishment; In addition, when he left Weizhou, Wei Yun had fewer scruples, which was more conducive to seeing his tendencies.

So, the next day, Xiao Cong's patrol in the Weisheng Army ended, and the general's mansion held a farewell banquet in the evening.

The banquet was over at three o'clock, and when the three of them returned to Leshuiju, Xiao Yan said good night to her brother and sister-in-law, went back to the room to bathe, went to sleep, meditated first and then fell asleep as usual, and just closed her eyes and was ready to sleep, she suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in her bedclothes.

Under the window, he was well-dressed.

Xiao Yan suddenly felt that this kind of sliding high window was too bad, and it was easy to get in.

Besides, county lord, do you always turn over the window in the middle of the night?

Xiao Yan was a little speechless and shouted: "The county lord ......" omitted the words: Something?

The county lord of Qingchuan walked to her bed, sat sideways in front of her casually, and laughed gorgeously, "Come and see you, cousin." ”

The corners of Xiao Yan's mouth twitched, "...... I've seen it during the day. ”

"It's to see a lot of people during the day, and it's to see you at night, so what's the same?" The county lord of Qingchuan lamented, "I am so reluctant to cousin, I came to see you, cousin is not reluctant to cousin at all?" ”

"......" Xiao Yan wanted to say that they really didn't know each other.

Lord Qingchuan reached out and touched her face, "Okay, I know you can't bear me either." ”

Xiao Yan was stunned: "......" Where did she show that she couldn't bear her?

Is it really good to talk to yourself like this?

She found that she was really speechless in the face of the Qingchuan County Lord.

This county lord came exactly as he wanted.

No, he took a gold wire rope pendant jade bottle from her neck and forcibly hung it around her neck, and then forcibly stuffed it into the placket of her underwear, and pressed the pendant in her heart and said, "Little cousin, your trip may not be smooth." This is the peace vase, I have worn it for many years, and I will give you peace and auspiciousness. ”

King Jin in the darkness outside the house glared at him, "I have worn it for many years"? - She has not ten but eight of this peace vase, and the crown princess has to give one every year, and this one was given in some year, so it was pulled out of the box, right? Is it okay to coax the little cousin like this?

King Jin felt that his niece and granddaughter were becoming more and more of a saint's "demeanor" - shameless.

The villain in Xiao Yan's heart is rolling, county lord, do you want to stuff people and things so strongly? Hearing the words of the county lord of Qingchuan, she was stunned, she didn't pay attention to the back words, only paid attention to the front sentence - "Don't go well? ”

The county lord of Qingchuan patted her heart, "Yi Gu has a bad omen." Be careful. ”

Outside the house, the King of Jin proudly brushed his beard, which was his Ib.

He didn't know that the county lord of Qingchuan didn't believe in his Yi hexagram, but used this as an excuse to send objects and shorten the distance between him and his little cousin. Close-fitting objects, you will think of people when you look at the objects, and you will feel a sense of zài on the table.

Of course, Xiao Yan couldn't calculate the scheming of the county lord of Qingchuan, she said with a dignified expression: "What does the county lord mean that there will be attacks and killings on the road?" ”

"Perhaps." The county lord of Qingchuan said very irresponsibly, "You be careful. ”

Xiao Yan felt a little strange in her heart, she felt that the county lord cared about her cousin, who seemed to be more serious than her cousin, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't the county lord tell my brother?" ”

The county lord of Qingchuan chuckled, "Your fourth brother is fine, you don't need me to remind you." As he spoke, his face leaned forward, his eyes looked strangely gentle in the hazy moonlight, and his voice seemed to contain affection, "I care more about you." ”

Xiao Yan looked at her suspiciously: This is unreasonable. I didn't look impressed by her gentle offensive at all.

The county lord of Qingchuan smiled, his eyes flashing with amusement, and he was going to kiss her on the cheek. Reflecting her cousin's closeness to her cousin, her mind turned and she was amused, and her lips fell on Xiao Yan's lips, like a feather brushing, "Little cousin, cherish it." The low laughter fell, and the person flew away, and smiled back in front of the window, "The peace vase is not allowed to be picked, I will be sad." ”

Xiao Yan: "......"

She felt that the next time she saw this county lord, she would stay away and kiss her lips or something, it would be too affectionate and not good.

She stretched out her hand and pulled out the jade bottle, her hand was warm and moist, delicate as fat, obviously a good jade, she touched the words on the jade bottle, through the hazy moonlight, she saw that the bottle was engraved with a small "An" word, at the bottom of the jade bottle, there was a small "Zhen" word, which together was "An Zhen".

Anzhen is the meaning of peace and auspiciousness.

The word An is engraved on the bottle body, which means "peace"; The word Zhen is engraved at the bottom of the bottle, which means "peace and blessing Zhen" - the name of the lord of Qingchuan County. Xiao Yan believed that this was indeed the county lord's object. And giving an object engraved with one's name to someone, no matter how many meanings it has, at least it has a real meaning. Xiao Yan thought about putting it away first, and then returning it to the county lord of Qingchuan in the future.

She took off the jade bottle and put it on the pillow, and suddenly remembered the words of the county lord of Qingchuan before leaving, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she put it back on her neck.

The next morning, everyone had breakfast, and Xiao Cong and the three of them went to Leshanju to bid farewell to the county lord of Qingchuan. "Cousin Cong, Cousin Shen, and Sister-in-law Ah Shen are leaving, it's really reluctant." The county lord of Qingchuan sighed and said, glanced at Xiao Yan by the way, his gaze stayed below her neck for a moment, and the corners of his mouth hooked a smile. Xiao Yan wiped a cold sweat in his heart, and secretly said Fortunately, he didn't take it in the morning, and it was too bad for the Cave True Realm to be able to concentrate on the perspective.

Xiao Cong smiled warmly: "Parting with the county lord, Cong and his wife are also reluctant. Fortunately, there is still a time to meet, and a husband and wife greet the county lord in Hezhou. ”

After a few words of goodbye, Shen Qingyi glanced at Xiao Yan, frowned in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong with Xiao Yan's eyes before, and secretly noted the matter in his heart.

After returning to Leshui House, he said goodbye to Wei Yun's family who came to see him off. The Governor's Mansion has sent 300 soldiers. Wei Yun ordered another 300 cavalry escort in the Weisheng Army, and did not return until the cavalry from the Weizhou Territory was sent.

It borders Dingzhou in the northwest of Weizhou, which is also the slope of Hengma Mountain, and only a narrow canyon communicates with the Yan Zhou country in the north, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Yan Zhou prisoners rarely pass from Dingzhou, so there are not many garrisons in Dingzhou, only two battalions. Xiao Cong only stayed in Dingzhou for two days, and then set off again after inspecting the city defense and border preparations.

To the northwest of Dingzhou was Tingzhou, where the Zhenwu Army, one of the five armies of the Hexi Army, was stationed in Tingzhou, mainly to defend against the Euroton Empire in the north.

The border between Dingzhou and Tingzhou is a wasteland Gobi and desert, called Xiaoshahai, which corresponds to the Dashahai from Shazhou to Gaochangzhou. From the moment Xiao Chengzhong left Dingzhou City, he raised his vigilance and sent a team of scouts to explore the way ahead. Xiao Yan asked Xiao Chengzhi, is there a situation? Xiao Chengzhi said: "There are many rocky mountains in the small sand sea, which is easy to ambush, so be careful." Xiao Yan knew that his brother was prepared, and he thought that what the county lord said, "It may not be smooth to move forward" should refer to this, so he gathered his spirit and secretly raised his vigilance.

All the way to the west, the scenery on the side of the road became more and more desolate, from the horse as far as the eye could see, there were all dead grass and barren trees, even the sheep were rare to see, and the road was not very smooth, but fortunately there were post houses every thirty miles, because of the caravans, there were merchants' residences every sixty miles. The chariot and horse team traveled 90 miles every day, because there were no towns along the way, and only stayed at the post house during food and lodging, so they left the boundary of Dingzhou after two days.

The Zhenwu Army has sent 500 cavalry to meet at the border of Tingzhou.

When resting at the border post house, Zhou Quanhai, the captain who commanded the 500 cavalry of the Zhenwu Army, said: "Shizi, this area of Xiaoshahai is prone to sandstorms in May, and General Wei means that it is best to pass Xiaoshahai as soon as possible. Therefore, it is best to change horses all, so that you can travel more than 100 miles in one day, and you can get out of the small sand sea the day after tomorrow, and the vehicle luggage can follow behind. ”

Xiao Cong knew that this was Wei Jingshou, the commander of the Zhenwu Army, knew that he was attacked in Yuanzhou, and he was worried that Xiaoshahai, a place that was prone to danger, would have another situation, so he built a light and fast journey.

After discussing with Shen Qingyi, Xiao Chengzhong, and Xiao Chengzhi, he felt that this advice was appropriate, so he divided the carriage and horse into two roads, and he and Shen Qingyi both changed horses, leaving Duan Yan and seven servants and maids to follow the vehicle, and divided a hundred tooth soldiers to escort them. So, after leaving the post house, everyone went in two ways.

The author has something to say: County Lord, do you know that you are so shameless? ――

Yesterday I pulled out the other tooth, and after the anesthetic, I reacted again, and fell! But this time it doesn't seem to be as reactive as last time, at least after getting out of the hospital, I know the direction to go home, and I didn't think about it for half a minute like last time...... After the anesthetic, it began to hurt, and I endured it for four hours, and I couldn't bear to look at it directly, where did the plot fly. I slept for 14 hours after taking painkillers, and I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to sleep after going to bed at 9 o'clock tonight.
