Chapter 90: The Flame of Hope

Previous Chapter

Xiao Qingyan took his hand and looked out the window at the thick night.

"I want to ...... Plant a spark on the north bank of the Yongjiang River. ”

This may sound difficult for others to understand at first glance, but she believes that Xie Xingzhi will understand.

Xie Xingzhi said gently: "In the world you depicted, everyone is created equal, everyone can obtain the right to receive education, no one is born to be sacrificed, abandoned, enslaved, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you can always make yourself live a good life." ”

He almost copied the original words on the letter, and Xiao Qingyan's sometimes wording in the letter was always strange, and Xie Xingzhi found it very interesting.

He looked at Xiao Qingyan: "Do you want to establish such a paradise in the Northland?" ”

Xiao Qingyan raised her eyebrows, she knew that he would definitely understand her.

"It's impossible to build that kind of world completely, I just want to carve out a place for displaced people to live in."

When the beacon smoke swept through the north, did those who could not escape to the south bank of the Yongjiang River deserve to die?

They should also have hope of living.

Late at night, Huang Aweng got up and put on his clothes, and went into the toilet in a daze, and when he came out, he was shivering from the cold wind, stomping his feet and just wanted to hurry back to the house and get into the warm bed.

However, when he glanced at it, he found that there were still dim lights in the east room.

"It's been four watches, why hasn't Shichiro stopped yet?"

Isn't Mo still drinking?

"Young man, I don't know if temperance is not possible, ...... are you still young."

The old man chattered, thinking about persuading the two Lang Jun to rest early, and when he came to the eaves, he heard someone talking inside, as if he had mentioned something on the dock wall, which didn't sound like drunken talk, but like he was talking about business.

It's not good to go in and bother.

Huang Laoweng silently turned around and went back to the house, and when he left, he vaguely heard the young man brought by Qilang say: "Over the years, the life of the people of Dajin has been difficult, and when the people are in trouble, someone must ......take care of it."

The winter wind was cold, and Huang Laoweng wrapped the cotton wool jacket on his body, and his heart was warm.

These Lang Jun, who were born in the scholar clan, will be big officials in the future, and with them, the future will not be too sad.

After a long night of talking, at dawn, the two of them did not see the slightest fatigue, but were full of energy.

After bidding farewell to Huang Aweng and his wife, Xiao Qingyan and Xie Xingzhi returned to Qingyang City.

Qingyang City has been completely taken over by Xiao Qingyu's soldiers and horses, and the proper order has been restored, and the cunning boy and Nie Yao Qian Feng are already waiting at the city gate.

Xie Xingzhi stopped in front of the city gate, did not dismount, and said to Xiao Qingyan: "I'll wait for you." ”

Xiao Qingyan nodded: "Okay." ”

The three of Nie Yao, who ran over, looked at this and that, and always felt that there was something strange between the two of them, but they couldn't say what was strange.

After Xiao Qingyan entered the city, he went directly to see his second brother, but Xiao Qingyu's face was not very good-looking.

"Second brother, what's wrong?"

Xiao Qingyu kicked over the table, grabbed the sword, and looked like he wanted to cut people: "Wang Feng's house, he hid in sight during the siege, and now when he sees us take the city, he is the first to jump out to take over Qingyang, and his mouth is full of King Qi to press me, villain rats, it's shameless!" ”

"What should I do, it turned out to be for this." Xiao Qingyan picked up the ink inkstone, sat on the other side, laid out the paper and began to study the ink, "The King of Qi left him behind to supervise you, and now that the war has subsided, these cities will naturally be taken over by the King of Qi's cronies." ”

"Having said that, but you didn't see his face, I really hate to slash that villain with a sword!"

"You said that he is a villain, why bother to have a senseless dispute with a villain," Xiao Qingyan said while writing a letter, "What we want is military power, now the second brother, you have made great achievements, it can be said that you became famous in the first battle, even if you were not a close confidant of the king of Qi in the past, the king of Qi will not turn a blind eye to you in the future, remember, our goal is not in Guanlong, but in Jiangnan." ”

Xiao Qingyu's deep gaze froze, and he smiled: "Yes, I almost forgot this, I was really confused by that villain, Jiulang, you didn't return last night, where did you go?" But has it always been with that Xie Xing? Do you know him well? ”

"I don't know each other very well, but he talked to me about something about our two families going south."

Xiao Qingyan briefly took it, blew the written letter and put it in the envelope.

"Second brother, since the military power has been held in our hands, we must not let go, since the King of Qi has left his own cronies to take over the six counties, then he should soon recall you back to Xuzhou, after this battle, the prestige of the King of Qi is great, presumably he is going to prepare to enter Beijing next, you quietly hand over this letter to His Royal Highness the King of Yunling, he will know what to do, remember, as soon as possible to assist His Royal Highness the King of Yunling to go south is our top priority, Luojing's troubled waters can not be waded, but also must not be too deep."

Xiao Qingyu took the letter and put it away: "Jiulang, won't you go to Xuzhou with me?" ”

"No, I'm going south first, make some arrangements in advance, and then I'll go north directly to Luojing, and we'll see you when the time comes."

"Why do you want to come back when they've all gone south? If there is still something to do in the Northland, even if it is left to us, you can rest assured, we will definitely facilitate the affairs of King Yunling to the south as soon as possible. ”

"No," Xiao Qingyan put down his pen and got up, "Our Xiao family has been suppressed and silent for too long, and its influence among the scholars has long been gone. ”

The nobles have always been noble, they are afraid of the deterrence of military power, but they also despise the use of force to suppress people from the bottom of their bones.

If you want to convince them in the long run, you still have to make some name in the political arena.

"Then I'll hand over all the private soldiers in my hands to you," Xiao Qingyu glanced out and lowered his voice, "The amount of wealth taken from Zhang Sha is too large, someone must escort you south." ”

As he spoke, he shook his head again, feeling that it was still inappropriate: "It's just that private soldiers are not enough, the second brother will send another team of soldiers and horses to escort you, since these soldiers have been under my control, I have my own way to control their mouths." ”

"That's not necessary, the less people know about this money, the better, just let our Xiao family's private soldiers escort it, second brother, don't worry, I will keep a low profile."

Xiao Qingyu used to treat this ninth brother as a child, but now, after seeing the young man's wisdom and methods, he feels nothing uneasy when he thinks about it.

"In that case, you should set off as soon as possible, Wang Feng's guy is like a dog, so as not to be discovered by him."

"Okay." Xiao Qingyan followed behind the second brother and quietly fiddled with the Moyu wrench in his hand.

In fact, she didn't plan to bring this huge windfall to Jiangnan.
