Compared with the gloomy clouds in Jiangzhou, Qizhou's side is unsurprisingly diametrically opposed.

The huge good news from Huzhou made the whole Qizhou feel refreshed, Xiao Yu did not hesitate to reward, and gave Wei Ban 10,000 taels of gold and 1,000 acres of land at one time, Zhuge Gong and others also had their own rewards, Xiao Yu even made it clear that if Wei Ban could conquer the entire territory of Huzhou, then when he was rewarded for meritorious deeds after the war, he Xiao Yu would definitely not hesitate to be a duke and a pillar of the country.

As soon as Xiao Yu said this, all the people who were still suspicious of Wei Ban shut up, and even Min Xing had to admit that Wei Ban had secured the position of the second person in the Northwest Army, and unless the next Wei Ban army was completely wiped out, no one would be able to shake Wei Ban's position in a short period of time.

A month passed in a flash, and after Wei Ban captured Xiangfan, he did not rush forward, but fought steadily, first consolidating the city defense of Xiangfan, and then continuing to build a fortress to besiege Xiangyang, which made many people who were looking forward to Wei Banle being extremely sad and couldn't help but be disappointed.

When the summer was about to begin, Xiao Yu ordered the imperial supervisor of the Eastern Capital to cast more than 100 exquisite swords, with gold wire entwined handles, and the sword body was engraved with the word Northwest. Because the number starts from one pole to nine, so in addition to Xiao Yu's own saber inlaid with nine gems, the rest such as Xu Lin, Lan Yu, Sun Shiwu and other high-ranking ministers are eight, in addition to these three, only Wei Ban was given a sword can be inlaid with eight gems, that is, Lin Han, Xiao Jin, Min Xing were given only seven swords, Zhuge Gong, Han Xiong and others only six, and Wei Ban not only won this honor, but also was given a python robe and jade belt by Xiao Yu, which can be described as extremely favorable, and no one dared to snatch Wei Ban's edge in front for a while.

After entering the summer, it was Xiao Yu's thirtieth birthday, marking that Xiao Yu was about to enter the year of establishment, from youth to middle age, so the operation was quite grand, Xiao Yu deliberately opened the Taiqing Palace, and feasted with the army and ministers. At the banquet, Xiao Yu was very interested, and raised his glass again and again, but most of the topics still stayed on the Huzhou war and the upcoming battle of crossing the river, although Wei Ban was not present because of the leading army, but this time he was undoubtedly the most eye-catching person, and someone with a heart had deliberately noticed that the king had said a total of forty-two sentences, of which twenty sentences mentioned Wei Ban, which shows how important Wei Ban is in the king's mind.

Queen Lin Yinping and Xiao Yu sat at the same table, and on her right hand was her younger brother Lin Han, after seeing her husband behaving like this, Lin Yinping turned his head and whispered to his younger brother who was drinking: "Find a time to make amends to Wei Ban, and then find a way to sell him personal favors, be sure to befriend Wei Ban, and make amends, it's not too late." ”

Lin Han, who has always been domineering, was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned red suddenly, "Sister, isn't it just Wei Ban, is it worth your solemnity? Don't say that now I am the justifiable governor of the Chinese army, he Wei Ban is just a governor of the left army, even if I return to the grassland, Wei Ban becomes the governor of the Chinese army, or even the governor of the capital, so what can I do? He is just a courtier after all......

Lin Yinping glared at him fiercely, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and he had the style of a queen's phoenix, and he actually let Lin Han swallow the second half of his words raw.

She retracted her gaze, looked ahead, and said indifferently: "Do you think that I am your sister and Xiao Yu is your brother-in-law, even if it is Xuan'er, I will have to call you uncle in the future, so you have nothing to fear?"

Lin Han didn't speak, but his expression was already a tacit acquiescence to Lin Yinping's words.

Lin Yinping snorted lightly, and his tone became more resolute, "The grassland is very large, there are more than fifty people in Taiji, even when your father was alive, you have not been able to fully integrate the grassland, you are still young after all, and your prestige and qualifications are insufficient, even if you have the support of your brother-in-law behind you, it is difficult to master the grassland in a short time, let alone subdue Huang Hanji, Shen Dongzan, and Lu Shixing, these old foxes, so even if you become the king of the grassland, it is not really possible to let the birds fly, in the final analysis, you still have to rely on the Central Plains and the northwest." Not surprisingly, Wei Ban will be the first military general in the future, if you are hostile to him, do you think you can really sit on the grassland?"

Lin Han poured a glass of wine and said, "Aren't there still sisters and brothers-in-law!"

Lin Yinping was finally rarely angry, and reprimanded in a low voice: "You and my brother-in-law can still take care of you for a few years? Not to mention that your brother-in-law not only wants to attack Jiangnan, but also paves the way for Xiao Xuan's future, and even has to guard against Xiao Jin, when the two of us are gone, who can you rely on? Could it be Xuan'er, a nephew who hasn't seen you since childhood?!"

Lin Han has been used to being controlled by his sister since he was a child, and when he saw his sister angry, he was already cowardly, and his sister was reasonable, and there was no way to refute it, so in the end, he obediently bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

Lin Yinping said angrily: "You are a pig's brain, you were quite clever with your brother-in-law in the early years, how can you be so dull after taking power?

Lin Han lowered his head, not daring to refute half a sentence.

This scene naturally fell in the eyes of many caring people, and it was inevitable to smile. It is said that one thing descends one thing, as we all know, Lin Han is domineering, and there is no one in his eyes, but when he faces the queen, he is like a mouse seeing a cat, and every time he will inevitably be reprimanded by the queen, he doesn't dare to say a word. This also opened the eyes of many young and strong generals who had heard of the queen's dominance for a long time, after all, it was better to hear than to see, they couldn't touch Lin Yinping on weekdays, but they knew Lin Han's dominance, but even Lin Han, who was so domineering, had to be obediently trained, so the rumors of the queen's dominance were naturally completely confirmed.

A wine banquet was over, and after Xiao Yu ordered the generals to return to their places, he picked up a delicate longevity peach and tasted it, just when he saw Lin Han who drooped his head and didn't get up to leave.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but joke because of today's excellent mood: "Leng Qian, was scolded by your sister again?" Although your sister is for your good, don't take it too seriously, you look at my brother-in-law, I have been with your sister for so many years, I was fine a few years ago, just crying to show me, and now I dare to speak out to me, maybe in a few years it will be the roar of the Hedong lion, this woman, when she is old, most of them will be hateful, but I don't have the same knowledge as her, I have always been in the left ear and out of the right ear......"

Xiao Yu's words stopped abruptly, because Lin Yinping, who had just gotten up and left, returned to the hall and glanced at the two of them coldly.

Xiao Yu coughed dryly, stopped talking, and began to concentrate on dealing with Shou Tao in his hand.

Lin Yinping said to Lin Han with a cold face: "Xiao Han, you go out first, I have something to say to your brother-in-law." ”

Lin Han immediately got up and fled from this place of right and wrong, and before leaving, he didn't forget to cast a schadenfreude smile on Xiao Yu.

Lin Yinping squeezed out a smiling face, and asked with a soft smile: "What is the name of a fierce speech, and what is the roar of a lion in Hedong?" The concubine is only a shallow learner, so she must ask her husband to solve her doubts." ”

Hearing the word "husband", Xiao Yu's smile suddenly froze, and then he sighed helplessly, preparing to meet the upcoming "storm".
