"Withdraw." Zhou Ziru took the lead in turning the horse's head and retreated to the army.

A group of Daqi generals followed Zhou Ziru back into the army, and the imperial court's Daqi army changed to the front army and retreated like a tide.

Yi Xiaodao turned around, looked at the generals of Nanhuai, and scratched his head embarrassedly: "I... It was originally a beggar... It's not like you're an official... But it's true that the emperor sent me out, maybe... It's because my legs and feet are sharper..."

"Thank you, Lord Yi!" The young warrior who had just been arguing with Yi Xiaodao knelt down on one knee at this time.

"Thank you, Lord Yi!" The rest of the generals also knelt down, and everyone bowed their heads in shame, everyone had suspected Yi Xiaodao.

Yi Xiaodao hurriedly stepped forward and helped them up one by one: "It doesn't have to be like this... Second son, at the moment, it is important to send the eldest son back to Nanhuai first. ”

Li Dingxing wiped a handful of tears and nodded: "Well, I will lead the army to escort the eldest brother back." ”

After the Daqi army withdrew, the top and bottom of the Nanhuai army breathed a sigh of relief, and Li Dingxing and Yi Xiaodao returned to the tent and sat next to Li Yaoyang's corpse.

"The eldest brother actually told me a long time ago that the imperial court intends to cut the feudal domain." Li Dingxing looked back at Li Yaoyang, who was already cold, and said.

"The imperial court wants to cut the feudal domain? Why? Hasn't it been good for 600 years? Yi Xiaodao suddenly heard the news and was shocked on the spot.

Li Dingxing looked at Yi Xiaodao in surprise: "You don't know? ”

Yi Xiaodao spread his hands and said, "How do I know? When I left Beijing, His Majesty only said that the Nanhuai Sui Gong had passed the deadline, and by the way, if possible, the mine dispute between Jiacheng and Yicheng was resolved, and I didn't know anything about the rest. ”

Li Dingxing said with a smile: "I also listened to what Steward Zhang told me in our house, I didn't believe it at first, but I dared to ask the eldest brother a few days ago, and the eldest brother said it was true." ”

"The eldest prince already knew? Oh... Yes, even Steward Zhang knows that it's not uncommon for the eldest prince to know... What did the eldest prince say? ”

Li Dingxing said: "The meaning of the eldest brother also says the meaning of the father, if the imperial court wants to cut the domain, the first one will definitely say that we will cut the Li family in Nanhuai." Nanhuai is rich, well-known, and close to the capital, so it is natural to say that the cutting of the feudal domain is the first to bear the brunt. It's a pity that the 600-year-old foundation of the Li family is going to be ruined on me, an unworthy descendant. Eldest brother... You're a chicken thief, so let's go first. Li Dingxing laughed self-deprecatingly.

Yi Xiaodao was silent for a long time, and said: "If the imperial court really wants to cut the domain, it is not necessarily a bad thing, I have seen Your Majesty, and I can feel that it is a Ming monarch." Daqi will definitely get better and better under his governance! It's just that... With the flames of war, the people will suffer again. ”

Li Dingxing looked at Yi Xiaodao and said: "I have decided to go back and bury my eldest brother, I am willing to take the initiative to withdraw the domain and return to the imperial court, so as not to cause Nanhuai to suffer from war..."

"Second son, be cautious..."Yi Xiaodao was surprised and hurriedly reminded.

Li Dingxing shook his head: "I sat all night with my eldest brother's body last night and figured it out." You have also seen His Majesty's will today, the imperial court does have the intention of cutting the feudal domain, and instead of destroying the lives of the people, it is better to take the initiative to withdraw the feudal domain and return the people to a peaceful world. Didn't you say the same? Your Majesty is a wise man. ”

Yi Xiaodao nodded and said, "Mingjun does explain Jun, but... Nanhuai is a pity. ”

"Nothing to be sorry about. If the eldest brother is still there, he can still keep it, and now the eldest brother has gone with his father in order to avenge his father. Even if I have a heart alone, Nanhuai can't keep it, maybe this is the destiny of heaven..."

Yi Xiaodao nodded, seeing that Li Dingxing had made up his mind, he couldn't say anything.

"By the way, why did you suddenly run back? Listen to the soldiers who are with you, there is still a beautiful girl waiting for you in the capital? Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, Li Dingxing diverted the topic and smiled at Yi Xiaodao.

Yi Xiaodao scratched his head, his face turned red instantly, and said: "Hehe, her skills are amazing, you can come to the capital and try her skills when you have time." ”

Li Dingxing smiled and nodded: "It's okay, by the way, why did you come back suddenly?" ”

Yi Xiaodao smiled awkwardly: "This... It doesn't matter anymore... Haha"

After the evacuation of the Daqi army, Li Dingxing also led the remaining more than 30,000 troops to return to Nanhuai, Yi Xiaodao set off with the Nanhuai army, and the two were separated near the capital, Yi Xiaodao returned to the capital alone.

When Zhao Yizhi first entered the capital, he noticed it for the first time: "You are finally back..."

Without saying a word, Zhao Yizhi immediately ordered Wang Zhenliang to prepare for the car and go to Yi Xiaodao's house.

"Yue'er, Xianglian'er, I'm back!!" As soon as Yi Xiaodao entered the house, he shouted loudly.

The house was empty.

"Yue'er, Xianglian'er, are you inside? I'm in! Yi Xiaodao came to the second daughter's room and pushed open the door, and the room was empty.

"Strange, where have the people gone?"

Yi Xiaodao muttered, put down his baggage, and heard He Yue'er's voice outside the house.

"Master Fu, thank you, just send it here."

"It's okay, do you live here? There used to be an official in the capital who lived here, and then he was demoted to the northern frontier, I heard that it was because of the bullying and robbing the people's daughters, oh, an official the size of a sesame seed. However, the official's wife was strong, and when she heard that her husband had committed an accident, she actually crashed into her head and died under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard. A man's voice rang out.

"What's going on?" Yi Xiaodao was puzzled, so he walked outside the house.

He Yue'er was shocked: "Huh? And this thing? Why didn't I know all along? ”

"Hahahaha, I've just heard about it. Let's go, let me go in and have a look, I will also look at feng shui, help you see how the house is? ”

Yi Xiaodao opened the courtyard door and said, "Yue'er, why did you go?" Who is this? ”

He Yue'er and a man stood outside the courtyard, the man was dressed well, not only the dress of a rich son, but also a somewhat aristocratic temperament on his body, followed by two strong men.

He Yue'er heard Yi Xiaodao's voice, and quickly turned her head, full of surprise: "Knife!" You're back! Ignoring the people next to him, he threw himself into Yi Xiaodao's arms.

The man's mouth widened.

Yi Xiaodao hugged He Yue'er and said happily: "I just came back, I miss you so much!" Where did Xianglian'er go? By the way, who is this? ”

"Oh, this is Fu Gongzi... I was bullied by two ruffians just now, but thanks to Fu Gongzi for helping me out of the siege. He Yue'er hurriedly explained.

"Oh, Master Fu, thank you so much! That one... Daughter-in-law... It's not, cheap... I'm sorry for your trouble. Yi Xiaodao hurriedly bowed.

The corner of Fu Gongzi's eyes twitched inadvertently, "Cheap inside...", but there was no trace on his face: "It's okay, it's a matter of effort, and we will meet again." ”

"Hey, Fu Gongzi, Fu Gongzi? Strange, why is this gone? Isn't it to help us look at Feng Shui? Yi Xiaodao scratched his head and was puzzled, and suddenly turned to He Yue'er and said, "By the way, you were bullied by the ruffians?" Where is it? I'm going to help you get revenge! ”

"Just remembered? Why don't you go find someone to help you see Feng Shui first? Hum! He Yue'er wrinkled her nose, pushed away the Yi knife, and entered the mansion.

Yi Xiaodao followed in with a smile: "By the way, where is Xianglian'er?" Could it be that Cui Ying and Gao Cui haven't sent her back yet? ”

He Yue'er sighed and said: "I'm back, but after the two sisters left, Xianglian'er went to Nanhuai again, saying that she wanted to learn art." Then, he told Yi Xiaodao about the last time the two of them went out of Beijing.

"Huh? She's a girl's family, what kind of art is she learning? Yi Xiaodao couldn't help but be puzzled when he heard that Xiang Lian'er had gone to Nanhuai again.

"Maybe there is something to do in Nanhuai this time that stimulated her, I don't want to be like a burden by your side, if I wasn't stopped by Zangyun and them, I would have gone to Nanhuai." I heard that there is a Xiufanfang sect where you can learn medical skills. He Yue'er said what was in her heart.

Yi Xiaodao shook his head with a smile: "Persuade people to study medicine, the sky will thunder." You're honestly in the capital, and you'll be fine. By the way, I'm going to find Your Majesty! How did this majesty be! I actually let you be bullied by two ruffians! When I see Your Majesty, I have to..."

"What does it have to be?" Zhao Yizhi pushed open the courtyard door and walked in leisurely.

When Yi Xiaodao saw Zhao Yizhi coming, he hurriedly changed his smiling expression: "I have to go shopping for vegetables and invite Your Majesty to eat!" ”

Zhao Yizhi saw the flattering expression on Yi Xiaodao, and he was amused in his heart, but he didn't break it, and beckoned back: "Bring it in." ”

I saw Qingtian carrying Fu Gongzi into the mansion and throwing it on the ground, and then looking at Fu Gongzi, he was embarrassed, his clothes were in tatters, and his face was also blue and swollen.

Yi Xiaodao and He Yue'er were both startled: "This is?" ”

Jia Hai kicked Fu Gongzi: "Explain it yourself!" ”

Fu Gongzi was kicked, so frightened that he hurriedly hugged his head, suddenly reacted again, knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed to Zhao Yizhi and said: "I am the son of Fu Kong, the official of the Beijing Ordnance Division, Fu Tang." I used my father's position to transfer the secret guards around Miss He, and found two ruffians to bully Miss He, and then I came out to rescue her. I'm damned, I'm damned..."

Yi Xiaodao and He Yue'er were stunned.

Zhao Yizhi bowed his head and said: "Your father is loyal to his duties and serves the country, but you put your mind on these places. The wife of the privy man is also something you can flirt? Excuse yourself from Lord Yi. ”

"Master Yi, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and I ask Lord Yi to forgive me..."Fu Gongzi hurriedly said to Yi Xiaodao.

"Uh... It's okay, it's okay. Young frivolity is understandable... It doesn't matter what you hurt, right?" Yi Xiaodao asked.

Jia Hai kicked Fu Tang's ass again from behind: "Go back and ask Master Fu, do you know how to say it?" ”

"I know, I know, I say that the small one doesn't have long eyes, and I fell on it." Fu Tang was also shrewd and made it up casually.

Qingtian squatted down and smiled, "Why did you fall and get injured all over your body?" ”

"A small tour of the Qinhuai River, without paying attention, rolled down from the bridge." Fu Tang hurriedly said.

Zhao Yizhi waved his hand: "Let's go, remember this lesson." ”

Fu Tang didn't have time to get up, and crawled out of the house on his knees.

Zhao Yizhi turned his head and saw that Yi Xiaodao was still in a stunned state, and said with a smile: "You, I thought you were so smart, you don't know if people bully your wife." How? Still want to find me to settle the account? Why don't I call Zangyun to count for you, how many disasters have I helped you, a little wife, prevent? ”

When He Yue'er heard Zhao Yizhi say "your wife" and "little wife", she was immediately ashamed, turned around and ran back to the room.

"Hey, I haven't said hello to Your Majesty yet, Yue'er..."Yi Xiaodao shouted at He Yue'er, then turned his head and smiled: "Your Majesty, the woman's... It's rude, hehehe..."

Zhao Yizhi sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and said, "I really like your stone table and stone bench, the size is just right, unlike the palace, it is too big." By the way, if you have any questions, just ask, and when you're done, I have a stomach full of questions for you. ”

Yi Xiaodao scratched his head and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this privy man... What is it for? How many officials? ”
