The commander of the righteous army did not throw cruel words before leaving, and several of the righteous soldiers who ran away did come back, and at the same time brought a large number of wind troops and righteous troops, and one of the generals led by him was a corps commander of the 14th Army, named Ma Ningfeng.

Because the restaurant where Shangguan Xiu and Shangguan Qingyan were located was very close to the city lord's mansion, they heard the report of the righteous army that they had encountered a strong resistance army here, and the Feng army also attached great importance to it, and Ma Ningfeng, as the commander of the corps, personally led the army to come.

After the Feng army and the righteous army arrived, they immediately surrounded the restaurant on three floors inside and three floors outside, and when Ma Ningfeng walked into the restaurant to take a look, he saw Shangguan Xiu and Shangguan Qingyan sitting inside to eat.

The nominal army commander followed behind Ma Ningfeng, and when he saw Shangguan Xiu, his eyes immediately turned red, and he pointed at Shangguan Xiu and said loudly: "General Ma, it's him! He injured our brother just now, but fortunately, this kid hasn't run away yet, so we ...... him."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Ningfeng suddenly slapped him back, slapped him in the face, and then strode to the front of Shangguan Xiu's table, intervened to give a salute, and said respectfully: "The last general, Ma Ningfeng, see Lord Shangguan!"

Shangguan Xiu slowly put down the dishes and chopsticks, raised his head, looked at Ma Ningfeng, and then looked at the righteous army captain who was beaten to the point that the second monk was confused, he smiled slightly, and asked, "Has General Ma had breakfast?"

"Uh...... Not yet, not yet!"

"Let's sit down and eat together!"

"This ...... This...... The last general will not dare!" Ma Ningfeng waved his hand again and again with an embarrassed expression.

"What's polite, let's sit down and eat together!" Shangguan Qingyan was so cool, first beckoned to Ma Ningfeng, then ordered two dishes from the shopkeeper, and finally didn't forget to make a grimace at the captain of the righteous army who was standing at the door of the restaurant.

Ma Ningfeng smiled dryly and slowly sat down, scratched his hair, and whispered: "Lord Shangguan, the last general received a report from his subordinates, saying that there is a resistance army here, so he rushed over with his brothers, I don't know if Lord Shangguan is here ......" As he spoke, he turned his head, glared at the commander of the righteous army fiercely, and reprimanded him sharply: "It's really blind to your dog's eyes! Do you know who this is? He is Lord Shangguan, you can survive, it all depends on Lord Shangguan's mercy, why don't you come over and thank you?"

The commander of the righteous army finally came to his senses, he never dreamed that this young man in his twenties would be the commander of the Zhenjun army, Shangguan Xiu.

He was stunned for a moment, then his body shook, and he hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground with a pop, kowtowed forward again and again, and said in a trembling voice: "The villain has no eyes, and he has offended the adult, and I ask the adult to forgive the sin, and please ask the adult to forgive the sin!"

Shangguan Xiu smiled, waved his hand at him, and said, "Those who don't know are not to blame. You are a rebel, our own brother, and it is also appropriate to be merciful to you, but one thing you have to remember, don't kill innocents indiscriminately in the future, bring us infamy, and don't smear our heads, understand?"

"Yes, yes, the villain remembers the teachings of adults!"

Seeing that Shangguan Xiu nodded and was not speaking, Ma Ningfeng cleared his throat, waved his hand and said, "Okay, since Lord Shangguan has forgiven you for waiting, hurry up and retreat!"

"Thank you, little man, thank you, little man!" the commander of the rebel army kowtowed again and again, and then bowed down and exited the restaurant.

When he reached the street outside, he felt cold and cold, and then he realized that his clothes were soaked with sweat.

Shangguan Xiu, Shangguan Qingyan, and Ma Ningfeng finished breakfast in the restaurant, and then returned to the City Lord's Mansion. On the way, Shangguan Xiu said: "I don't know what kind of deep hatred and hatred there is between the traditional Ningnan people and the alien races that were later incorporated into Ningnan, and I absolutely agree with the contradiction between the two to form a righteous army of different races and fight against the Ningnan army, but conniving at the rebels to rob money and rape women and kill innocents indiscriminately, this is very inappropriate, and it is not beneficial to our army's governance of the captured towns, General Ma, what do you say?"

Ma Ningfeng replied: "What Lord Shangguan said is extremely true, this point was really negligent before, and the discipline was not strict, which caused today's misunderstanding, and please Lord Shangguan don't take it to heart, and don't report this matter to the county lord." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said: "General Ma, rest assured, this expedition to Ningnan, the brothers are very hard, no one is easy, in front of the county lord, what to say and what not to say, I know in my heart." ”

Ma Ningfeng bowed his hand and said, "Lord Shangguan is broad-minded, which is admired by the last general, and the last general is here to thank Lord Shangguan!"

General Ma was polite. Shangguan Xiu also returned the favor.

When I returned to the City Lord's Mansion, as soon as I entered the gate, I saw Tang Wanyun walking over. Seeing Shangguan Xiu and the others coming back, she frowned and asked, "I heard that there are masters of the Ningnan Army near the City Lord's Mansion?"

Ma Ningfeng shrank his neck in fright and didn't dare to speak, but Shangguan Xiu smiled: "It's just a misunderstanding, it's okay now." As he spoke, he saw Tang Wanyun's gaze drifting to Shangguan Qingyan beside him from time to time, and he realized that he hadn't introduced Shangguan Qingyan to her yet.

He affectionately pulled Shangguan Qingyan's arm and smiled at Tang Wanyun: "County Lord, she is mine...... Younger sister. ”

Before he finished speaking, Tang Wanyun narrowed her eyes, and said slowly with a smile: "Oh? Another sister, there are so many sisters of Lord Shangguan!" While she spoke, everyone present felt that the air pressure on the scene was much lower. This is not an illusion of everyone, and the air pressure at the scene has indeed decreased, making people feel tightness in their chests and unable to breathe, which is the effect of spiritual pressure leakage.

Shangguan Qingyan rolled her eyes and said dissatisfiedly, "I'm not his sister!"

Tang Wanyun's eyes fell on her face, even though she had read countless people, she had to praise a beautiful little girl of different races.

However, the more beautiful Shangguan Qingyan is, the more angry she is in her heart, last night, Shangguan Xiu had just been warm with her, but today she couldn't wait to find a little beauty of another race, it turned out that all kinds of sweet words about him were deceitful nonsense.

Thinking of this, her heart was cold, sour and aggrieved, and she held back to prevent tears from appearing in her eyes.

Shangguan Qingyan didn't notice her strange appearance, and said happily: "County Lord, don't get me wrong, I'm not Ah Xiu's sister, I'm his sister-in-law!"

Shangguan Xiu sighed secretly beside him, and now he had a headache when he heard the words "aunt and grandmother". When Tang Wanyun heard this, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, and her eyes were about to burst into flames when she looked at Shangguan Xiu.

But her anger soon faded. Shangguan Qingyan ran to her side, grabbed her arm familiarly, and said, "County Lord, my name is Shangguan Qingyan." ”

"You...... What do you say your name is?" Tang Wanyun wondered if her ears had misheard, and looked at her incredulously, forgetting her rudeness for a while.

Shangguan Qingyan said with a smile: "My name is Shangguan Qingyan, the ancestor is Shangguan Yuanrang, don't look at my young age, but according to my seniority, I am really Ah Xiu's aunt...... Oh, what are you pulling me for!" Before she finished speaking, she was pulled by Shangguan Xiu.

Tang Wanyun opened her mouth in surprise, and looked at Shangguan Qingyan again with a glance, she turned out to be the descendant of Shangguan Yuanrang, the god of war, which was also incredible.

She turned her eyes to Shangguan Xiu and asked, "Ah Xiu, you have never told me before that you still have such a ...... A little aunt and grandmother. Maybe he was too surprised, and his name for Shangguan Xiu became a private nickname.

Shangguan Xiu smiled bitterly, raised his head at her, and said, "County Lord, let's go to the study and talk about it!" Regarding family affairs, he didn't want too many people to know.

In the study, Shangguan Xiu told Tang Wanyun in detail about the whole process of his acquaintance with Shangguan Qingyan, as well as Shangguan Qingyan's family history.

After listening to his story, Tang Wanyun finally understood why Shangguan Xiu had a clan relative of a different race. She nodded thoughtfully and said, "It turns out that the legend of Tia is true, and in Tia, there are really hidden nobles who are not known to the outside world. ”

"Doesn't the imperial court know about Tia's Shangguan family?"

Tang Wanyun smiled bitterly, the relationship between the Wind Country and Tia is too special, the Wind Country rules Tia, but all along, Tia also has its own small court, claiming to be a system, but it used to be hidden in the shadows, but now it is on the surface, and the power of the Wind Country cannot penetrate into this system at all. She said faintly: "I have always heard such rumors, but the court has not confirmed the truth of this rumor, and now it seems," as she spoke, she looked at Shangguan Qingyan and said with a smile: "The rumor is true." ”

Knowing that Shangguan Qingyan and Shangguan Xiu are clan relatives, Tang Wanyun's impression of her has also changed 180 degrees, no matter how you look at it, she feels that this little girl is beautiful and cute, and she is very likable.

She took Shangguan Qingyan's little hand and asked, "Qingyan, how old are you this year?"

"Seventeen! I'm going to turn seventeen!"

Tang Wanyun smiled, sure enough, she was just a little girl, no wonder Ah Xiu didn't call her aunt and grandmother when she introduced her, but called her sister.

She glanced at Shangguan Xiu, and said with a smile to Shangguan Qingyan: "Qingyan, I am a few years older than you, in the future, you can call me Sister Wanyun." ”

"Okay, good!" Shangguan Qingyan was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and clapped her hands again and again, she had a county lord's sister, and after returning to Tia, it was another thing worth showing off.

Shangguan Xiu coughed heavily beside her, and looked at Tang Wanyun with a blank look, her bad intentions were too obvious, she asked Qingyan to call her sister, making it clear that she was taking advantage of herself!

It was rare to make Shangguan Xiu deflated, Tang Wanyun couldn't help but giggle, rolled her eyes, untied a piece of jade pendant from her waist, and said: "When we met for the first time, I didn't prepare any gifts, even if this jade pendant is a meeting gift from me!"

Shangguan Qingyan took the jade pendant with surprise and joy, played with it lovingly, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful!"

Yes, from the royal family, can it not be beautiful? Shangguan Xiu shook his head and smiled, watching Tang Wanyun and Shangguan Qingyan stick to each other intimately, talking and laughing happily, he felt like the superfluous one.

He pondered so in his heart, but the corners of his mouth slowly rose unconsciously, and he felt more of a long-lost sense of warmth, the warmth of home.
