Chapter 42 Xie Mingcang

Recently, a big event happened in Shangjing City. The young general of the Xie family who was guarding the border came back.

The young general of the Xie family went to the border with his father two years ago and has not returned for two years.

The Xie family is a family of military generals. Their ancestors were heroes who conquered the country together with their great ancestors. Generations after generations have guarded the great rivers and mountains that stretch thousands of miles, and have been loyal from generation to generation.

In Xie Mingcang's lifetime, he had few offspring. It was ten years after the eldest son of the Xie family was born that the younger son of the Xie family was born.

This old general Xie has always had a son, and he is lawless in doting on this young general Xie.

It's just that this young general Xie is a chivalrous man. When he was still in the capital, his favorite thing to do was to fight against injustice and support the weak and suppress the strong.

As long as there was any injustice in the capital city, he would take care of it. At that time, many wealthy young men who had done bad things did not dare to walk at night.

He was afraid of being put in a sack and beaten until his nose was black and his eyes were swollen.

Two years ago, when General Xie left Beijing, it could be said that the whole city saw him off.

Today, when General Xie returned to the court with his troops, the people of the whole city welcomed him.

Li Miaoyi, whom she had known since childhood, was no exception. Li Miaoyi found a teahouse, sat on the second floor and looked at the crowds of people on both sides of the street.

On the majestic horse, the young general is wearing a red shirt, sitting upright, with sword-like eyes and eyebrows, handsome features, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the people on both sides of the road, the young man is indescribably high-spirited, as if The rising sun in the sky is born to emit dazzling light.

The young general led his army towards the imperial city.

The first thing that the teacher did when he returned to the court was to meet the saint. It was not until Xie Mingcang's figure disappeared for a long time that the people standing on both sides of the street gradually dispersed.

After everyone dispersed, Li Miaoyi got out of the teahouse and took a carriage in the direction of Li Mansion.

After Li Miaoyi sent Meng Chun and Zhong Xia to prepare refreshments, they sent them down. Li Miaoyi sat alone in the house and waited.

After waiting for more than half an hour, but still no one came, Li Miaoyi picked up a military book and read it. She waited quietly without being anxious or annoyed.

Finally, when she was halfway through the book, Li Miaoyi's eyes were suddenly covered by a pair of warm hands.

Li Miaoyi said helplessly, "Xie Mingcang!"

The hearty laughter of the young man came from behind. Xie Ming let go of the hand covering Li Miaoyi's eyes. He picked up the mung bean cake on the table and said with a smile, "Okay, after tasting it for a long time, your skills haven't deteriorated yet."

Li Miaoyi turned around, slapped Xie Mingcang with the book in her hand, and said, "You are now a general, why are you still so out of shape?"

Xie Mingcang stuffed the whole thing into his mouth, sat directly next to Li Miaoyi, drank a big sip of tea, and finally swallowed it, but he choked and kept coughing.

Li Miaoyi hurriedly patted Xie Mingcang on the back and said helplessly, "You really haven't made any progress at all."

Xie Mingcang gradually returned to normal.

"You don't know, I have been thinking about your mung bean cake for the past two years at the border. The border area is full of deserts and food is in short supply, let alone this pastry." After that, Xie Mingcang picked up another piece and ate it. got up.

Li Miaoyi curled her lips and said, "I don't believe you didn't eat any cakes on the way back from the border."

Xie Mingcang waved his hand and said, "I ate it, why didn't I eat it? Doesn't it mean that we, Miss Wanwan, don't have the skills?"

After hearing this, the corners of Li Miaoyi's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. She seemed to be happy at the sight, and she quickly placed the other cakes on the table next to Xie Mingcang.

Xie Mingcang devoured more than half of it and then stopped.After calming down, Xie Mingcang said, "You don't know how dangerous it was just now. Then His Majesty asked me if I had any thoughts of getting married. It seemed that he wanted to marry the fifth princess to me. Fortunately, my father stopped me from going back, otherwise I would have I don't know what to do." After saying that, Xie Mingcang looked at Li Miaoyi.

Li Miaoyi's expression remained normal and she joked, "How can you be dissatisfied with marrying the princess to you? The fifth princess is rumored to be a stunning beauty."

After finishing speaking, Xie Mingcang muttered something in a low voice.

Li Miaoyi raised her eyebrows and asked, "What did you say?"

"The Southern Barbarians will not be destroyed until I have a family." When he said this, Xie Mingcang's high-spirited eyes were filled with hatred.

Li Miaoyi lowered the corners of her lips with a cold expression, and her face seemed to be covered with a light layer of frost.

As soon as these words came out, the two fell into silence at the same time.

Li Miaoyi looked at the young man. When he left Beijing two years ago, the young man had fair and delicate skin and looked like a gorgeous young man, but now his eyebrows are more sharp.

Li Miaoyi couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

Think about how wanton Xie Mingcang was when he went to Beijing two years ago.

When I was young in fresh clothes and angry horses.

But two years ago, when the eldest son of the Xie family was guarding the people at the border, he was beheaded by the Southern Barbarians and died in a foreign land. Not even his body was left behind.

After that day, Xie Mingcang invited himself to the border, intending to fulfill the long-cherished wish of the eldest brother of the Xie family.

Keep the people at the border in peace.

This journey lasted two full years.

Sensing Li Miaoyi's low mood, Xie Mingcang pretended to be relaxed and said, "I have brought back my brother's tablet and will take you to worship him in a few days."

Li Miaoyi thought of the gentle and elegant Xie family brother, the eldest brother who always protected her when she was bullied by Xie Mingcang, but he always lay on his favorite land.

The desolate northwest.

Li Miaoyi didn't want to make Xie Mingcang feel uncomfortable, so she tried her best to suppress the sadness in her heart, and said calmly, "Okay, I'll prepare some food for Brother Xie when the time comes." After a pause, Li Miaoyi said, "I was earlier It’s time to go to Wenyang.”

Xie Mingcang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you going to Wenyang?"

Li Miaoyi sighed deeply. Now that Marquis Pingyang is dead, there is no need to mention that matter again, so as not to make Xie Mingcang more worried. Finally, Li Miaoyi said, "I just miss my grandfather."

After speaking, Li Miaoyi asked, "It's you, the border is so far away from Wenyang, you can just run over there without fear of delaying the military situation."

Xie Mingcang curled his lips, "I had just joined the army at that time. Most of the people in the army were dissatisfied with me and there was no point in staying there, so I simply asked for leave from my father and went to see the teacher."

Li Miaoyi was silent. The former Xie Mingcang was just a stupid young man who became an official as the young master of the Xie family. The people below must be dissatisfied with him.

"But don't worry, it's better now. Xie Jiajun was all obedient to me back then." The young man raised a wanton smile.

The Nanman people were good at fighting, and coupled with these matters within the army, Li Miaoyi could not even imagine how much Xie Mingcang had gone through.

"By the way." Xie Mingcang frowned slightly and asked, "After I left, did the Li Sun mother and daughter still bully you?"
