Uncle Nine

Chapter 80 Xie Huan Enters the Mansion
"Sister?" The man in blue bowed his head respectfully.

"Yun'er, you're too impatient." She is no one else, she is the woman who has guarded the border for many years, who is strong against Daxia's invasion, and who will not give up an inch of land, General Xie with an army of [-]——Xie Huan!
The man in blue is her 16-year-old brother Xie Yun.

Xie Yun is young and has been under the elder sister's wing for many years, so she seems a little impetuous, "Sister, it must be the old man who is the regent."

Xie Huan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Keep the words in your stomach." Then he glanced at the dead bodies everywhere, Xie Huan took a deep breath, "Don't linger, go back to Beijing overnight." After speaking, he got on his horse and said neatly, "Let's go !"

With a sound of horse honking, all the generals behind him will send out their voices.

Military orders are like mountains, so it's not child's play.

The clatter of horseshoes echoed in the cold night.On the way back to Beijing, they have been attacked more than once, and some of them were solved in advance.Xie Huan knew very well that some words would be meaningless if they were broken.

She has guarded the border for many years, and she is different from those officials in the DPRK who talk about military affairs on paper.Those are words without practice, but she has always followed her word.Just imagine, if a woman can command tens of thousands of troops at the frontier, she has to convince the soldiers. In addition to having extraordinary martial arts, she must also have courage that is different from ordinary people.

Following his father's spirit, Xie Huan has never regretted joining the army for the first time and mixing among men.

The Xie family has been a loyal minister and general for generations, with strict family precepts.Even if she is a woman, she must think of the king and serve the country, and she is worthy of the heaven and the earth.It is better to die on the battlefield as a soldier than to be a sycophant.

They rushed back non-stop, and when they reached the outside of the capital, Xie Huan and his brother did not go directly into the city.There were already people waiting at the side door, Xie Huan and Xie Yun abandoned their horses and entered the city slowly with the carriage.

The carriage swayed, and the ten-mile long street was still bustling at midnight.

Flower Street and Willow Alley, the spring is bright and beautiful, and it is a scene of prosperity with singing and dancing.

"The capital city is still the same, with a new look and an old look, and those extravagant styles remain unchanged." Xie Huan picked up a crack in the car window, looked at Yingying and Yanyan outside, and sighed softly.

This is the kind of comfort that the soldiers at the border exchanged with their blood.

But after being comfortable for a long time, these people lost their fighting spirit.

Born in ease, die in sorrow.

Li Huan smiled, "Not necessarily, the world is so big, there are many people who worry about the fate of the country, but the general has never seen it!"

Xie Huan chuckled, "My lord is one of them."

Li Huan smiled without saying a word.

When you arrive at Prince Rui's Mansion, enter through the side door, proceed with caution.

At midnight, Prince Rui's Mansion was extremely quiet.

Li Huan led the way and directly led Xie Huan and Xie Yun to the study.

Zhao Shuo was already waiting there.

"The last general will see the lord." Both Xie Huan and Xie Yun knelt on one knee, performing the salute of a military general.

"Get up." Zhao Shuo stepped forward and helped the two of them up, "It's been a hard journey."

Xie Huan smiled, "Going home is like an arrow, I dare not say bitterness."

Zhao Shuo nodded, "I'll be back soon."

Xie Yun smiled and said, "As soon as the prince's letter arrived, we ran to death three horses along the way, can you not hurry up?"

"It's grown a lot taller." Zhao Shuo sized Xie Yun up, "He's a man now."

"In the future, I will fight for my sister on the battlefield and make contributions to Dayan. I dare not be a man." Xie Yun still had a little childishness on his face, and his eyes were very bright.

Zhao Shuo took a deep breath, "Very well, it's the same for a strong man, and it's the same for a strong woman."

Xie Yun nodded heavily, "As long as our siblings are needed, the prince just orders, Xie Yun will not hesitate to do anything!"

"Your father is alive, and he should be relieved." Zhao Shuo patted Xie Yun on the shoulder.

Xie Huan nodded, "The Xie family was in trouble that day. If the prince hadn't done his best to rehabilitate the Xie family, our sister and brother would have been killed by the sword. The Xie family was able to regroup and serve the court, thanks to the rescue of the prince. Without Xie Huan today, I will be grateful in the end."

Zhao Shuo said with a smile, "Old General Xie is loyal to the country, Xie's family has been loyal for generations, is there any reason not to be saved? It's a pity that the entire family of Xie's family was punished, and there are only two of you left. Fortunately, the emperor's great kindness is also your own. Compete for strength, win the commander in martial arts, and take down the commander-in-chief flag in one fell swoop. This is how today's Dayan's first female general is born!"

All three laughed lightly.

"My lord, the Great Xia mission is coming soon, I'm afraid the visitors are not good." Xie Huan said, "I have been fighting with Da Xia for many years, and the people of Da Xia are all cunning and cunning, so don't trust them. These people are all coveting my Dayan. Territory, not to give up."

Zhao Shuo sat down, took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "People, you can send them for marriage, but the land—of course, you won't give up an inch of land. I'm not worried about the bad people coming from Daxia. What I'm worried about is that there are people in the court. Do not do good deeds."

Xie Yun nodded, "Dongfang Yue will definitely not let go of this opportunity."

"If the emperor agrees to make peace, and Da Xia and Dayan discuss peace, Dongfang Yue will definitely find an excuse to weaken my military power and deprive me of my position in the army on the grounds of sincerity." Xie Huan is not a fool, a marriage represents both sides You must show sincerity.The most direct sincerity is to reduce the number of troops stationed at the border.

The tens of thousands of Xie Jiajun that he had trained so hard were to be incorporated into other people's pockets, Xie Huan was naturally not reconciled.

"Everything is subject to change." Zhao Shuo's eyes darkened, "Stay the same for all changes. The more Dongfang wants to cover the sky with one hand, he also asks me if I agree. The marriage is indeed imperative, but——Border He is not the only one who has the final say on the matter of defending the army."

Xie Yun nodded, "With the prince here, we can rest assured. We are afraid that Dongfang Yue will make another plan if he fails to succeed. We have to guard against the incident of a villain."

Zhao Shuo let out a long breath, "The emperor will call you into the palace tomorrow, so be careful."

"For so many years, isn't it the same every time?" Xie Huan sighed softly, "The end general will know the importance of himself."

"I'll ask Li Huan to take you out." Zhao Shuo put down his cup.

As if thinking of something, Xie Huan said suddenly, "By the way, my lord, half a month ago, I met a man at the border, who was very similar to Zhu Cheng. He wants to go to the capital. If he is really Zhu Cheng, according to the itinerary, he has already arrived in the capital."

Zhao Shuo frowned, "Are you here?"

"It's just that they look very similar, but whether it's him or not, I can't see clearly." Xie Huan took a deep breath, "It was night and there was no light, but they were indeed [-]% similar. I only saw him when I was young. This person's face, after many years, is really impossible to tell."

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Shuo said, "He will come sooner or later, not to mention his little apprentice is still with me. Others may not recognize him, but his apprentice should know the master!"

"Zhu Cheng's apprentice?" Xie Huan was taken aback, "It turns out that the prince has already prepared."

Xie Yun frowned, "Does this apprentice know the inside story?"

Zhao Shuo shook his head, "If she knows, she doesn't have to stay until now. She doesn't know anything, not even her master, who bears the honor and disgrace of the great Yanjiang Mountains."

Xie Huan sighed softly, "I don't know, it's much better than knowing."

"Go back first!" Zhao Shuo got up, "Tomorrow the king will go to the hall with you to face the king."

Xie Huan nodded, "Thank you, my lord."

Li Huan carefully sent the two of them out of the house and out of the city, but Zhao Shuo frowned. Everything began to proceed in an orderly manner. After so many years of painstaking efforts, he hoped that everything would go according to his plan.

If there is a slight accident, the whole game is lost.

He can't afford to lose, and he can't lose.

When going back to the room, there was some movement in the side room, Zhao Shuo frowned, quietly stood outside the window, watching the restless woman inside through a very thin window slit.

In the middle of the night, when everyone was asleep, she became active.

On the bed was her precious lump, holding a gold-inlaid jade tile that had been held for two days, first wrapped it with oiled paper, and then wrapped it with gray broken steps.Then he took a ribbon and wrapped it carefully.

There is no place to hide things inside or outside the room. After thinking about it, she lifted the curtain on the bed wall, raised a brick on the wall, and carefully stuffed the package into it.She went to get the paste, and pasted a layer of paper on the outside of the package, so that the baby bump inside would not be found through the curtain.

As expected of a thief, he knows the safest place to hide his things.

Zhao Shuo frowned, isn't it just a piece of gold inlaid with jade?This girl really made an offering like a Bodhisattva!He rubbed between his brows helplessly, but it's a pity that she taught him to look straight because of her secrets.

God willing!

After doing all this, Xia Yu felt relieved.

Very good, after saving Huzi's dowry, it's time to save Shuying's dowry.

I hope that stupid and clumsy Ye Eryu can give herself some more gifts, she doesn't want too much, just a few more gold inlaid with jade!Lying on the bed, she thought, when she won the 5 taels of silver, she would not be afraid of Zhao Laojiu's account book.How much she wants, how much she wants, are you afraid that you will not be free?
But——she thought of the beard, those eyes, and the way of shuffling the cards, it really seemed—Master.

But it is impossible for the master to appear in the capital, that person should not be the master.

Didn't Master say that?This life will not enter the imperial city.

Xia Yu frowned, why did Zhao Laojiu want to find Master?What is there on Master?
Suddenly, her eyes widened suddenly. Could it be that they were all looking for that one?
