During the national funeral, the Zhao clan was suspended, and Zhao Yuanming rarely had leisure to go to his wife every day to say goodbye. Zhao Xiyan also went to see Zhang.

Zhao Yuanming was very calm, and he really didn't say a word about the letter from the Murong family.

When Zhang saw Zhao Xiyan, he was upset, and exchanged a few words lukewarmly, so he sent Zhao Xiyan and Zhao Suxin to talk.

It is exactly what Zhao Xiyan wants.

The daily life of the ladies of the wang family is very leisurely. Burning incense and stroking the piano, painting with clean hands, or reading books and playing chess, it is half a day.

Zhao Suxin likes to carve seals, and she often uses it as a pastime on weekdays. Zhao Xiyan came today, and Zhao Suxin immediately showed her the works carved out in the past few days.

Zhao Xiyan looked at it carefully, and smiled at Zhao Suxin: "My cousin's skills have grown again. ”

Zhao Suxin pursed her lips and smiled: "In front of you, the class is just a small skill of axe carving insects." After a pause, he whispered: "The aunt of the Wu family came to propose marriage a few days ago. ”

Zhao Xiyan was very happy for Zhao Suxin: "This is great!" My cousin is looking forward to the long neck, and she is finally looking forward to this day. ”

Zhao Suxin's beautiful face was red, and she reached out and twisted Zhao Xiyan: "You will make fun of me." Wait for the day when the prince comes to the door to propose marriage, and see how I can return it. ”

At the mention of Xu Jing, Zhao Xiyan wanted to sigh.

The cutting is continuous, and the rationalization is still messy. It's her and Xu Jing.

It's impossible to cut it in two. But Zhou Sui has not been eliminated, the revenge has not been avenged, the world is about to be chaotic and civil wars, where does she have the intention of marrying?

How long can the peace of Beihai County be maintained?

Her rebirth has changed many things, but ahead is still at a loss.

Zhao Suxin saw that something was not right, and joked with a smile: "Why don't you say anything when you mention the prince?" You two are angry again? ”

Zhao Xiyan didn't want to say this, so he opened the topic.

Zhao Suxin is the same age as her, grew up together, is very close, is very familiar with her temper, and no longer asks.

Knock knock!

The hosta pushed the door, walked in quickly, and reported in a low voice: "Miss, the prince is here." ”

Zhao Xiyan's brows jumped slightly.

The king of Beihai was "seriously ill", Xu Jing was supposed to be "serving" by the bedside, why did he suddenly come to Zhao's house? No, something must have happened.

Zhao Xiyan's heart flashed, his face was not revealed, he said goodbye to Zhao Suxin, got up and left.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Xu Jing's angry handsome face came into view.

"Crescent Moon," Xu Jing walked over quickly, gritting his teeth and whispering, "That gang of bandits from Qinglong Village is simply bold. secretly followed behind Wang Tong's prisoner car, and took advantage of the national mourning period for everyone to relax their vigilance, and took Wang Tong in the middle of the night. ”

What?

Zhao Xi's face changed: "Wang Tong was snatched away? ”

Xu Jing exhaled heavily and whispered angrily: "Yes." Those bandits, taking advantage of the smoke and work, moved in the chaos, and attacked extremely ruthlessly. The Zheng family's own soldiers suffered heavy casualties, the Yang family and the living mouth were both dead, and Wang Tong was stabbed twice and taken away by the bandits. Zheng Xuanfeng was seriously injured and could not move, so he stayed in place to heal. ”

The soldiers of the Zheng family who came back to report the news injured an arm, and they hurried back to the Zheng family to report the news. After reporting the letter, the pro-soldier swallowed. ”

……

In just a few sentences, it is heart-wrenching and tragic. There seemed to be a scene of blazing bandits rushing in and killing people.

Zhao Xiyan pursed the corners of his mouth, his cheeks were a little pale, and his voice was quite calm: "What should I do next?" ”

Xu Jingjun's face was frosty: "When General Zheng received the message, he immediately wrote a report to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to send troops to Qinglong Mountain to suppress bandits." ”

As an official of the imperial court, he cannot leave his post without an official document. General Zheng was anxious, but he couldn't leave Beihai County, so he only sent all the personal soldiers around him out and brought his eldest son Zheng Xuanfeng back first.

Zheng Xuanqing was about to go with red eyes, but was slapped by his father: "Your eldest brother is seriously injured, and I don't know if I can be rescued safely." What are you going to do? Do you want Lao Tzu to die without a son? ”

Zheng Xuanqing aggrievedly took the slap print and went to the Beihai Mansion to report the news. Xu Jing was also furious, and without saying a word, he sent most of his own soldiers to welcome Zheng Xuanfeng back.

"Crescent moon, I'm really useless." Xu Jing clenched his fists vigorously, anger and self-blame flashed in his eyes: "I can't go out of Beihai County at will, even if I sneak out quietly, I can only use a few hundred personal soldiers in the house, and I can't kill the five thousand bandits in Qinglong Village at all!" ”

Zhao Xiyan felt sorry in his heart.

She knew all too well the grief and pain of her powerlessness.

She took the initiative to reach out and hold Xu Jing's hand: "The imperial court has strict control over the vassal king, and there are many constraints. You, the prince of the vassal king, have no soldiers and no power in your hands, what can you do? Don't be too yourself. ”

"It's not all bad, either. Zhou Sui was bold and reckless, daring to rob and kill the officers and soldiers of the imperial court. When this matter reached the capital, the imperial court would definitely immediately send troops to suppress the bandits. ”

A few letters she wrote secretly could also fuel the flames and make this flame burn even more violently.

Xu Jing held Zhao Xiyan's delicate hand, and his eyes were a little red: "What should I do?" ”

Zhao Xiyan replied softly: "Your father is seriously ill, you should serve your father." ”

Xu Jing: "......"

There had never been a moment when he was so powerless and hated his origins.

The prince of the vassal kingdom is illustrious, but this rich Beihai County is not a cage woven by wealth and wealth, trapping him firmly.

He didn't understand it before, but now he understands it, but he can't do anything.

"Let's go back!" Zhao Xiyan said in a low voice: "Wait patiently." Soon, there will be news of the imperial court sending troops. ”

Xu Jing snorted sullenly.

……

Within a day, the news of Zheng Xuanfeng's attack spread.

Zhao Yuanxiu was frightened, and he couldn't care about anything else, so he immediately sent his clansmen to buy grain, and went to the blacksmith shop to secretly order weapons.

In doing this, not only the Zhao family, but also the Wu family and other prominent families are also secretly buying grain.

The ordinary people of Beihai County suddenly found that the price of grain shops was rising, and they also followed suit one by one. Looking at the long queue of people pushing and shouting to buy grain, the owner of the grain shop was overjoyed and immediately raised the price of grain by another penny.

Some people scolded angrily: "Maggots with black hearts! Make all the money you have! ”

The owner of the grain store turned a deaf ear.

The people had no choice but to admit their bad luck.

For a while, people's hearts fluctuated and they were panicked.

Zheng Xuanqing was in a bad mood and came to Beihai Mansion with his head down.

He and Xu Jing are also known as the "Beihai Double Heroes", eating, drinking, and fighting cocks on weekdays. Xu Jing is still practicing martial arts in private, and Zheng Xuanqing is directly a big straw bag, what to do, he is the first to eat and drink.

Xu Jing was in the martial arts training ground, holding a longbow, and with a whoosh, an arrow flew out and landed on the arrow target two hundred meters away.

Zheng Xuanqing didn't say a word, but also touched a pair of bows and arrows, and pulled the bow and shot arrows with a sad and angry face.

Whoosh, the arrow flew out diagonally, and fell to the ground before it could touch the target.

Zheng Xuanqing: "......"
