33 Chapter 33
The moonlight was cold with a slight chill, and the gloom was scattered on this small mountain town, covering the land surrounded by mountains surrounded by shallow snow with a layer of white silver.
When Xie Ci was a teenager who first woke up and couldn't sleep for half a night, Xie's second sister-in-law knocked on Gu Wan's door and slept with her with a pillow.
"Isn't it crowded over there?"
Gu Wan saw that it was Xie Er's sister-in-law, smiled and opened the door to open the bed tent and let her come in together, the small house is not big, there is no hall in the back hall, and the main house is opened and then rebuilt to build a wall and divide it into two, Mrs. Xun sleeps with two and a half boys, Xie Er's sister-in-law Xie San's sister-in-law sleeps with two girls, and there are two big beds in a dozen square rooms to sleep four people, "After we go out, you come to sleep, in fact, you don't have to leave this room empty, what a waste."
Since it is said that it is a family, there is no need to stick to these, anyway, she and Xie Ci haven't come back to sleep for a long time, so they can just squeeze it when the time comes. Second sister-in-law Xie hugged the pillow and lay down on the shelf bed, laughing and listening.
She said, "Okay, don't worry about this, are you afraid that they won't be able to sleep?"
The light moonlight shone through the half-open window on the apricot-white gauze tent, Gu Wan originally thought that Xie Er's sister-in-law remembered the Qin family, but what was written on the letter was really not careful enough, so she carefully told Xie Er's sister-in-law about their trip to Lingzhou and the general situation of the Qin family, "...... Overall, there is no danger, the Qin family is in good character, everyone is fine now, and before I came out, Mrs. Wen was also cured. "
Wen's main thing is that he has some concussions, and he will be fine when he recovers.
Second sister-in-law Xie does remember her mother's family, but she came over tonight, but this is not the main purpose. She smiled and listened intently to her family, her brother, not a word.
In the end, she looked at Gu Wan, who was lying on her legs with her legs crossed, with a smile on her face, and said, "When I go out tomorrow, I'll go with you." "
At first, Gu Wan thought that Second Sister-in-law Xie wanted to go back to her parents' house to visit her mother's family, which was too reasonable, but Second Sister-in-law Xie shook her head gently: "After I go out, I won't go back to the town for the time being."
Second sister-in-law Xie planned to go to the front with Xie Ci and Gu Wan to fight side by side this time.
"I've looked at all the towns, and there's nothing wrong with the people. Under this house, I went to the county to hire someone in the past few days and dug a tunnel, which is not long, but it can lead directly to the hill behind. "
"Ming Ming is also older, thirteen years old this year."
The thirteen-year-old Xie Ci had already danced the silver spear and thin knife vigorously, and there was no trace of it going down the wall. Xie Mingming is the same, he
He is the eldest son of the long house, and the requirements have been very strict since he was a child, and he has been practicing hard for a year, and in the end, he has to thank the second sister-in-law to strictly limit his martial arts training time, so as not to hurt his bones at a young age.
Anyway, Xie Mingming has grown into a little teenager, and ordinary things are basically enough for him to deter and solve. If you see that the situation is not right or it really can't work, you will leave through the tunnel and go to Lingzhou for help.
"As for Rou'er, she's eleven years old."
is a half-grown girl, if there is no accident, she should start to see each other in two years. Mrs. Xun is enough to take care of their siblings.
Xie Mingming can also teach his younger brother to practice martial arts.
Second sister-in-law Xie looked at Gu Wan in surprise and turned over and sat up, the little girl's crow hair was fluffy, and her big black almond eyes were wide open, she couldn't help but reach out and touch her hair with pity, the little girl was only seventeen years old.
This decision was also discussed with Mrs. Xun and Xie Mingming, Xie Mingming was also eager to go with the fourth uncle to avenge his father and ancestors, but in the end, after weighing it, this little man decided to stay by himself.
This is the idea and proposal of Xie Er's sister-in-law, and it is also the family's decision, they can't let Xie Ci and Gu Wan be alone outside for all this, one more person is a person, and it is a force to be able to add more strength.
Mingming said that if the family is settled one day, or there are no hidden dangers, "there is no need to be a fugitive anymore, "He will work with the fourth uncle and four aunts to bring those thieves to justice and seek justice for the Xie family."
The moonlight is like water, soft and spreading, and the second sister-in-law Xie spoke eloquently, and her voice was as gentle as the night like flowing water.
Gu Wan hesitated, she also pondered for a moment, but in the end she quickly put this question behind, she believed that the second sister-in-law Xie would not put the Xie family in danger.
And she said happily, "That's great!"
God knows, sometimes she is overstretched, how much she wants to have someone by her side!
The two happily settled on this matter, pulled the quilt, and Gu Wan slept happily. Second sister-in-law Xie tucked the quilt for her.
She smiled and stared at the top of the tent for a moment, then closed her eyes as well.
The next day, the golden morning light shone from the eastern mountains to the bottom of the steps of the small courtyard.
After eating a hot dumpling, the three of them walked along the town's loess path all the way to the edge of the ravine, and pulled out the horse hidden yesterday from the forest.
There was a creaking sound under her feet, and the sunlight covered the entire forest with a layer of gold, Gu Wanlisuo turned over and got on the horse, and the sunlight shrouded her whole body, and even her face could be seen clearly
With the fine fluff on her cheeks, her whole body is one with this golden forest.
Xie Ci had been looking at her casually all morning, and quickly moved away, but this time he couldn't help but look at her for a little longer, and then crashed into Xie Er's sister-in-law's smiling eyes.
Second sister-in-law Xie smiled and turned over and got on the third horse.
There was an extra horse in the forest.
Xie Ci's face was hot, but he was surprised: "Second sister-in-law, are you going to Lingzhou too?"
Second sister-in-law Xie nodded: "Yes, can't I go?"
She squinted at her acknowledgement.
Of course, this is not impossible, it is normal for Xie Er's sister-in-law to go, Xie Ci thought about it, Zhang Qing and Zheng Ying should have seen Xie Er's sister-in-law, "Second sister-in-law, do you know Zhang Qing and Zheng Ying?"
Second sister-in-law Xie recalled, "I know if there is a mole on the left side of the bottom, and the other has a big earlobe on the face of the Chinese character." "In the blink of an eye, it's been so many years." She was very emotional.
Xie Ci felt a little uncomfortable in his heart and immediately left, and he hurriedly comforted his second sister-in-law: "The Qin family is fine, second sister-in-law, don't worry."
"It's okay, Yuan Niang told me last night."
Xie Ci glanced at Gu Guan, Gu Guan was smiling slightly, glanced at Xie Er's sister-in-law, and then looked at him, and a sweet joy quietly swelled up in Xie Ci's heart.
He froze: "Good! Okay, let's go!"
The three of them rode their horses and whipped up, quickly left the mountain town, and then quickly whipped all the way, and arrived at the place agreed with Zhang Qing and Zheng Ying around the hour.
The three of them stopped their horses slightly, and Zhang Qing Zheng Ying immediately trotted out of the tea shed and jumped on the horse to follow.
In front of the Lingzhou City Gate, they joined Xun Xiaoluo again.
ββOn this trip to Sanzhou, since Qin Xian asked Xie to resign, it means that he is sure. At the very least, the personal safety of the resignation is not at risk.
However, except for Xie Ci himself, it doesn't make sense for other people to go, sometimes it may even be not beautiful when there are many people, so Gu Wan didn't go, and Xun Xiao didn't go.
Gu Wan used the excuse of recuperating from her injuries, but she was not injured, so she quietly went to pick up and settle the Xie family.
Xun Xiao stayed in Lingzhou City, paying attention to the special envoy's line and the follow-up development of the Lingzhou smuggling case.
Zhang Qing went to Lingzhou City yesterday to deliver the news, Chen Zheng was around, Xun Xiao and Luo Qian waited on time outside the Lingzhou Shili Pavilion.
The two sides looked at each other suddenly, and the second sister-in-law Xie was shocked, she was shocked, Xun
Xiao immediately turned his head sideways, and the hood blocked his face. Second sister-in-law Xie immediately looked at Gu Guan, Gu Guan knew that Xun Xiao was deaf and bright-sighted, so he didn't dare to speak, so he only nodded slightly.
Second sister-in-law Xie couldn't help but be stunned, she heard Gu Wan and Xie Ci say that Xun Xiao was burned, but she really didn't expect it to be so serious. She looked up at the sky, the blue fields and white clouds, and the golden sunlight shining on the ditches that were beginning to thaw and the branches that covered the remnants of snow. If you have never seen summer, you may never think of the lush green landscape here in the middle of summer. It's really ten years of life and death, and no one knows what will happen in the future.
Second sister-in-law Xie is older and open-minded, and after more than a year, she has adjusted her mentality very well. She couldn't help but let out a long breath.
What those damn people!
The five fast horses galloped into Lingzhou City one after another, quickly changed the clothing of the battalion headquarters, and drove the horses again to the side gate of the Lingzhou General's Mansion. The thank-you are back.
However, one step ahead of him was the handwritten letters of Su Zhen, Chen Yan, Kou Wenshao, and the eldest son after they finally told him repeatedly, so that the latter quietly rushed to Lingzhou with a long handwritten letter to meet Qin Xian.
- If it weren't for the critical moment of preparation at this moment, they would have come by themselves.
Su Wei and others, Qin Xian - have all seen it, and they have replied to Su Zhen, Chen Yan and others to urgently discuss some things. The moment she stepped into the door, Second Sister-in-law Xie couldn't help but pause, she raised her head and looked at the strange and familiar lintel.
- She was married in the capital, not long after she got married, Qin Xian was stationed in Lingzhou, but this familiar and concise style, as well as the relatives of her family inside, made her excited for a moment, and it took a lot of effort to suppress it.
Qin Xian and Qin Guan too.
The two of them came out, and for a moment, Qin Xian turned his head sideways, and Gu Wan saw the tough and handsome guy Qin Guan's eyes red for a moment, but they all tried their best to hold back.
Qin Xian nodded lightly, "Okay, okay, let's go and talk to your aunt and sister and brother in the back, and come back to see you again."
He didn't delay time, the business was important, Rao is Qin Xian was sure, but the beauty of this trip was still beyond his expectations.
He quickly took them back to the study and patted him on the back: "It's done!" Qin Xian was so excited, he could almost foresee that there would be a successor to his general! Chen Yankou Wenshao's attitude is not inferior to Su Zhen's, and it can be seen that they are in the same place.
"Wait a minute, you can go meet Chen Shao."
Su Wei and the others had already rushed back with Qin Xian's handwritten letter, but they were accompanied by Chen Yan's second son
and Su Zhen Kou Wenshao's nephew, specially stayed so that any changes could be conveyed at any time, and the stakes were very high, and they could not trust Xinying.
For fear of attracting attention, all the Soviets and their thanksgiving were separated. Originally, Qin Xian was still a little worried about Xie Xian's resignation for two days, but when he saw Xie Er's sister-in-law, he understood.
For most of the past half a month, the four of them have been constantly contacting the former henchmen and old departments of the Xie Jiajun, Qin Xian, Su Zhen, Chen Yan, Kou Wenshao, and even their lives this time, vowing to live and die with the mastermind behind the scenes.
Qin Xian said a few words in a row, and he said: "Chen Shao, they also brought the online news that they had been in contact with before, I guess they already know everything, I have already submitted these reports to the envoy, and this case should be closed soon." "
&n
bsp; First, there is a direction to quickly follow the vine and find melons, and second, more importantly, the Lingzhou case must be closed as soon as possible, and even if the entire smuggling case continues to be investigated, it must turn from bright to dark, so as not to affect the morale of the followers.
The weather is good this year, and according to previous estimates, the frost will begin to thaw at the end of the month, and the land will begin to bear fruit in the middle to late next month.
Qin Xian said: The northern army is gathering soon!
A war between the two sides is already on the verge of breaking out.
And at this moment, the most important thing is to enter the army smoothly. This can even be the hardest part of the whole big plan. Because the mastermind behind such a curtain will inevitably keep an eye on them, and the other party will do everything possible to find a thank you.
Qin Xian said: "I have discussed with Chen Yan, Kou and Wenshao by letter, and we all agree that it is best for you to join the army under Chen Yan."
As for the reason, as mentioned earlier, the Chen family is prosperous, and Chen Yan's sons, nephews, and nephews are dozens of them, not including the clansmen who are also prosperous.
In the past few days, if necessary, you and Yuan Niang will sort out here, and if you don't need it, you don't have to. Qin Xian didn't say it explicitly, but Xie Ci understood that he was talking about the Xie family.
Qin Xian didn't ask about the whereabouts of the Xie family, he only told him again and again, he must be careful and careful, and if necessary, remember to ask for help from the Lingzhou General's Mansion in time, he will tell his henchman and the deputy general Yang Fen who stayed behind.
"Before the end of the month, you will arrive in Yunzhou."
This is what Qin Xian and Chen Yan discussed, and it is also the most suitable time period, Chen Yan will take advantage of this time to pick out suitable children and nephews and arrange the rest of the things.
In the end, Qin Xian lowered his voice and thanked him in a soft voice that only allowed the two of them to hear: Don't be suspicious of employing people, don't use suspicious people, and on the contrary, the general is taboo!
"Since you have allowed them to do meritorious deeds, you will not treat them and me
There can be even the slightest difference. After going to Yunzhou, you need to believe in Chen Yan.
Qin Xian lowered his voice to the lowest level, and saw his lips move: "Even if there are some precautions, they need to be suppressed in the bottom of their hearts, and they can't be revealed to anyone. When there is no need to change, it should not be moved.
These things that his father didn't have time to teach him, Qin Xian carefully told him in his ear.
The face of the middle-aged general, who already showed a trace of crow's feet at the end of his eyes, was close at hand, and he nodded in thanks: "I know how to do it.
"Good!"
This young man with eyebrows very similar to his father, dressed in black armor, standing at his side with a straight back and a long body like a silver spear, Qin Xian looked at it carefully, and was extremely relieved.
After he finished telling him what he should do, he raised his eyes to look at the others, Gu Wan needless to say, he looked at Xun Xiao.
Xun Xiao wore a gray robe and a bamboo hat covered by cotton, Xun Xiao rarely appeared in front of people, and he came to the general's mansion once, but he was far away from the crowd and avoided it.
But this time, Xie Ci and he both knew that after going to the General's Mansion, it was likely that they would leave Lingzhou immediately, and in order to get first-hand information, Xun Xiao also entered the outer study and stood quietly behind the shadow of the pillars of the house.
Qin Xian wanted to say it last time, and his expression flashed a little indescribably complicated, Are you ......
Xun Xiao turned sideways and said lightly: "My surname is Luo." Qin Xian is in a complicated mood, is his surname Luo? Good, good.
Okay, then the surname is Luo.
Qin Xian didn't say anything more.
He only said to Xie Ci and Gu Guan: "You guys leave as soon as possible, this time to separate, meet again, it should be the time for the army to assemble." "I hope that the road to the army will be smooth and smooth.
Qin Xian let out a long breath: Okay, then let's go to the back and have a family banquet!
The family feast is always prepared.
I didn't eat it last time, so I made up for it this time.
If you want to say the only accident, it is probably Xie Er's sister-in-law Qin Ying.
When Gu Guan and Qin Xian went to the backyard together, Wen's Qin Guan, Xie Er's sister-in-law and others all had red circles in their eyes, and they had obviously cried once. That night, after thanking Gu Guan and them for leaving, Qin Xian and Qin Guan called Qin Ying to the outer study.
Yingniang, you ......
>
Yingniang, you also want to do something, and your brother and I agree very much. It's just that you're still young,......
Qin Xian, a big man, leaned over slightly, and couldn't care about being embarrassed under the lamp, and hurriedly said.
The niece is young, Xie Erlang is very good, but, but it is true that he has gone, he doesn't want his niece to be young and widowed, and she will be alone for the rest of her life.
There are a lot of good sons and daughters under my uncle's command, all of whom are young talents, you want a poor family, and a good uncle will find you in a few years? Good no good?
Today is as strong as Xie Er's sister-in-law, she has shed tears many times, it is not easy for the family to reunite, she sat on the circle chair, the uncle and brother surrounded her one by one, under the lamp, the halo eased, she felt very happy, but after hearing the words, she still shook her head firmly and said with a smile: "Uncle, no need!" Isn't it impossible to live without a man?
Are you worried that I won't be able to support my old age? I have two more children!
Qin Ying stood up, she had already told her aunt before, and Wen was crying and laughing, she was going to say it again now: "No matter what, I'm not afraid!" A man like Xie Zai who stands up to the sky, there will be no second one in the world!
In the end, she couldn't help but reddened her eyes, for the young man who scorched Shaohua and amazed her life.
I'm fine, don't worry!
Looking at Qin Ying's strong and calm, tearful and smiling eyebrows, Qin Xian and Qin Guan's eyes were sour, and the two of them also knew that the sea was once difficult to water. Finally, the two looked at each other, sighed, and said nothing more.
After that, the three members of the family discussed Qin Ying's re-taking over of the Liufeng Wei she had brought before.
When she was about to say that, the door moved, and Qin Wenxuan stretched out her head a little timidly, but she still stood up bravely. Big sister, can I go with you?
She clenched her fists, but still said seriously, "I, I don't want to be as helpless as last time!"
When something happens, there's no way to do it, not even in case...... She didn't even have the ability to escape with her mother and brother. She, she doesn't want that!
The night is dark blue, the wind is blowing, and the clouds are rolling. Sniff carefully, but you do smell the breath of spring.
At this moment, Gu Wan left the General's Mansion and stopped outside the small suburban courtyard they rented. Tomorrow, they will leave Lingzhou and start a new journey.
Let's go.
Gu Wan looked up
After the wind blew and the clouds moved, he turned around and smiled at the three of them, beat the horse and went forward about a mile, and came to the inn where he met with Xie's second sister-in-law to stay.
Xie Ci and the others didn't have any opinions, and they didn't even notice it, because they often moved for safety. So when Xie Er's sister-in-law came with Qin Wenxuan dressed in cloth and dressed in dust. Xie Ci was stunned: Second sister-in-law, why are you here again? Isn't it time to go back to town after a period of reunion? Second sister-in-law Xie couldn't help laughing: I'm with you, don't worry, I've already arranged the family.
Xie Ci didn't have any doubts about Xie Er's ability and arrangement, but before he came out today, he never expected that Xie Er's sister-in-law would always walk with them.
He was stunned for a moment, first surprised, and then suddenly disappointed - because he was still secretly happy that he was about to walk with Gu Wan again, the two of them were alone, and maybe even lived in the same room.
Acknowledgments:
He looked at Qin Wenxuan, who was also wearing a hat: ...... Why are you here.
Second sister-in-law Xie said: "Wen Xuan also went with me, don't worry, uncle and eldest brother all know it." β
Acknowledgments:
Second sister-in-law Xie turned over and dismounted, walked up the steps quickly, and asked Xiao Er to open a small courtyard in the backyard.
She walked like the wind, and as she walked, she said, "Someone has to run errands for you."
This is also the original intention that Second Sister-in-law Xie came up with at the beginning.
This branch of Liuyunwei was formed by some children she picked out when she funded the nursery in her early years, and at first she inquired about the news of the market, and later she ran it very well, and she was one of the Qin family's spy teams. Later, after she got married, she returned to Liuyunwei together.
This time, Qin Xian wanted to give Liu Yunwei to her, but Second Sister-in-law Xie didn't want it, as long as she went back to the original team, although her mother's husband's family was her home, she couldn't hollow out her mother's family, and her uncle and brother also needed to use people.
Anyway, there are connections between Liuyunwei, and she can know what she wants to know.
Second sister-in-law Xie pushed open the main room and arranged for Qin Wenxuan to wash up first, and after she went in, she said to Gu Guan: "Wenxuan, don't worry, she is a stubborn child, and she will definitely not have a problem with her mouth."
Second sister-in-law Xie put the burden on the bed, turned around and smiled: "I'm older than you, you can call me Sister Ying in the future." β
Gu Wan didn't suspect Qin Wenxuan of leaking secrets, and she was relieved that Second Sister-in-law Xie was doing things, no, it was Qin Ying.
It's just that she peeked at the washing compartment, and Gu Wan actually wanted to ask...... Well, she found that Xun Xiao was gone. As soon as Second Sister-in-law Xie appeared with Qin Wenxuan, he didn't know where to go.
r/> seems to be in a good situation.
Qin Ying understood in seconds, but she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, in fact, she and her family guessed that it was true that Qin Wenxuan wanted to grow up, but it was estimated that there was another hope, probably this Xun Xiao.
Qin Ying shook her head, because she heard the footsteps in the compartment, and then Qin Wenxuan opened the door and came out.
The two immediately closed their mouths.
Gu Wan smiled at Qin Wenxuan, "Here, let's clean up and order food!"
As for Xie Xie's second sister-in-law, Qin Ying, she was a little funny, because she found that Xie Ci was still standing outside the door. She paced over, "Go and pick a room, the three of you are exactly one room." There are a total of three rooms in the courtyard that can sleep people.
She said: In the future, I will share a room with Wen Xuan and Yuan Niang, so you don't have to be as inconvenient as before. Acknowledgments:
He looked up, Gu Wan happily chatted with Qin Wenxuan (she was weak-hearted, she had just finished gossiping about other people's privacy), and found that he was still smiling at him, waving at him, and turning his head to continue talking to Qin Wenxuan.
She was very happy, obviously happy to share a room with Sister Qin Ying. β¦β¦ Also, a man and a woman, there will always be a little bit of inappropriateness.
The surprise at the beginning of the thank-you speech had not been digested, and the heart fell back to the ground with a chirp, and the pestle was under the eaves for a long time, and in the end, he could only turn around three times in one step and take Zhang Qing Zheng Ying to the wing.
The world in which he was the only one injured was reached.
The author has something to say:
Thanks: Is there no such thing as a world for two...... QAQ
