Feng Yu was emotionally slow, while Xie Xun was passionate and straightforward, and no one else had ever intervened between them. It wasn't until this moment that she suddenly realized, "Are you jealous?"
"Whose fiancée and ex-boyfriend stay in the same room every day and talk happily until midnight?" Xie Xun said in a strange tone, "I can't be jealous?"
"He is the second young master!" Feng Yu defended.
"Isn't the second young master a foreigner?"
"It's your second brother!"
"Isn't the second brother a foreigner?"
"You are a bit unreasonable." Feng Yu lowered her head and gnawed on the beef jerky angrily. How could he even be jealous of the second young master? "We are discussing business."
Xie Xun laughed angrily, stretched out his legs, and sat carelessly. He took the oil lamp and lit it, hanging it next to him. The sky was getting darker, and the light in the carriage was soft and dim, making Xie Xun's expression difficult to distinguish. He didn't mind.
, it’s not that the second brother and Feng Yu were alone in the same room until midnight.
That day, he stood at the door and listened to them talking about balance and taxes. He felt like an outsider and couldn't fit into their atmosphere. He felt frustrated and helpless. He seemed to understand Feng Yu less than his second brother, who was obviously his favorite.
Feng Yu, the person who wants to protect Feng Yu most.
Feng Yu gently poked his arm with her finger and suggested a solution, "Next time I have a business meeting with the Second Young Master, will you listen?"
"Thanks, no need."
Chun Chun gave him trouble.
"Why?"
"Can't understand."
"When Master Qian Gu and I made peace, the Second Young Master didn't understand either. But he just listened for a day and learned a little bit about it. He could draw inferences from one example. He's really smart. You..."
Xie Xun said coldly, "Well, the second young master is really smart."
Feng Yu's original intention was to say that if she wanted to understand, she could learn from the Second Young Master and not be ashamed to ask questions. If she didn't want to, it didn't matter, and she didn't have to understand everything.
After being interrupted by Xie Xun's strange annoyance, she forgot the second half of what she wanted to say.
"Zhixu, do you want to eat beef jerky?" Feng Yu took out a piece of beef jerky and said, "Dried with spring dew and autumn fragrance, it's delicious."
Xie Xun had eaten dry food and thanked him for the invitation to try it. This kind of dry and hard beef has always been the ration of soldiers. He once vomited after eating it on the battlefield.
Feng Yu was helpless and a little frustrated. In the past, Xie Xun was passionate and straightforward, and she could clearly sense his emotions even when he hated her. But now she couldn't figure out his happiness and anger.
Xie Xun became strange and paranoid overnight. If he had been jealous a few months ago, he would have pestered her for a promise and would have teased her with all his hands.
Now, Xie Xun talks less in front of her.
There were subtle changes in her relationship with him, but she didn't know how to deal with them. If it was serious, she was afraid of hurting his heart. If it was minor, she was covering her ears and deceiving herself.
A few months ago, when she said she didn't like Xie Xun, he spread his hands and smiled, not paying much attention, and would only say that you will like me sooner or later, or that I will work harder to make you like me.
Now if she says "I don't like you", I will leave you.
Xie Xun may go crazy.
His demands for her emotions have become greedy, domineering, and paranoid. He is no longer the Xie Xun who was chatting and laughing a few months ago. A few months ago, he was the giver.
Now, he is the taker.
Feng Yu knew very well that she was an emotionally poor person. Xie Xun's heart used to be like a paradise, with flowers everywhere. No matter how much she asked for, he would never be exhausted.
Courage, love and happiness, he has everything to give.
But she is an emotional desert. The paradise in Xie Xun's heart has been trampled on, the flowers have withered, and can Xie Xun, who is bruised and bruised, be healed by her side?
During this period, all she brought to Xie Xun was the cold war and pain.
She is a failed interpretation flower. She cannot cure his sadness, but makes him even more sad.
"Are you disappointed in me?" Feng Yu asked.
Now that he has closed his heart, she must be brave. She also wants to be the Xie Xun she once was, giving him a steady stream of happiness and courage.
"No!"
"Really?" Feng Yu chuckled and said, "The first time you went to the government office and saw the conversation between me and the second young master, why did you leave without saying anything?"
Xie Xun didn't want to talk about it. Talking about it would make him irritated and frustrated, so he started talking about it again. Xie Xun said, "I can't get in the middle of what you and your second brother are talking about."
"But you are sitting there, I am very happy!" Feng Yu said, "Actually, I was very tired that day, and the second young master was really too much. He treated me like an animal. He never thought that I was weak and sick.
I am a weak woman. I was tired and sleepy, and I was thinking at that time, it would be great if you were by my side. Seeing you happy and refreshing, you must not be willing to let the second master bully me like this."
Xie Xun laughed, "Since you are tired and sleepy, why don't you go back and rest?"
"You had a cold war with me and ignored me. I feel lonely and aggrieved living alone in the mansion, so I don't want to go back so early."
Xie Xun felt that the third girl was deceiving him.
He was not a three-year-old child. She was obviously very happy when she and her second brother were talking about taxes. The excitement was written in her eyes and was unmistakable.
But he took advantage of Feng Yu's sweet words, which seemed like she was crying and complaining about her grievances, but in reality she was acting coquettishly. He was coaxed to the point where all the depression in his heart dissipated.
"Next time he bullies you, tell me and I will support you!"
Feng Yu thought coldly, maybe you can run faster than me!
"OK!"
After Feng Yu coaxed Xie Xun, she was very tired and fell asleep on his legs. Xie Xun pulled the thin quilt to cover her, half hugging her with one hand, and reading the battle report in the other hand.
Xie Xun was studying the city defenses and reserves from Yunzhou to Jinzhou, the prefectures and jurisdictions of each city in each continent, and the gathering places for bandits and bandits in the twelve states. When the Ningzhou cavalry returned in triumph, they came to the twelve states to suppress the bandits, and the bandits reappeared quickly.
Nowadays, many thieves and bandits occupy the mountain and become kings.
However, these bandits were not large-scale. The largest bandit was wiped out by Feng Changqing, Fang Chuning and Xie Jue a few months ago. The banditry at that time had already caused the local governments to retreat, let alone the caravans.
He wanted to capture the Twelve Prefectures. Feng Yu was stationed in Jinzhou to restore production in the Twelve Prefectures and maintain trade with Jiangnan. He led his army to build grain and horse roads and suppress bandits. If there was no unrest in the Northern Barbarians, he would send troops to open up wasteland in the Twelve Prefectures.
As long as the people's livelihood in the twelve states is restored, there is no need to worry about losing the support of the people. As long as the people can live and work in peace and contentment, no one will think of the war disaster.
Although he and Xie Jue hated the Yuwen royal family, they did not want to really split Yanyang. They wanted to capture the twelve states without spending a single soldier.
But if he encounters any resistance, he will suppress it with force.
Fifty thousand cavalry marched through the night and arrived at Yunzhou City at dawn. The vanguard had already turned back to report. Lin Jingshan, the magistrate of Yunzhou, led all the counselors from the government office to greet them at the city gate.
Xie Xun was a little surprised. Lin Jingshan had a close relationship with the Lin clan and the Yuwen clan. He knew that he was the queen who had proclaimed himself the queen, and yet he did not resist when troops came to the city for the first time?
Dawn was about to break, and the armor shimmered like dark clouds rolling out of the dense forest. Lin Jingshan's eyes stung as he looked at Xie Xun in front of him, who was wearing light armor.
"Lin Shi Jingshan has met the King of Qin and respectfully welcomes his army to the city."
Xie Xun's white horse and silver saddle were cold and powerful, and the silent pressure forced the officials of the state capital to sweat in the cool breeze in the early morning. Xie Xun looked at the semi-shabby city of Yunzhou and the swaggering Yanyang flag on the city.
It was so dazzling that Lin Jingshan followed his gaze and frowned slightly, but showed no regret.
Xie Xun dismounted and greeted the officials of the state government, "I am passing through Yunzhou and I am disturbing you all."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Yunzhou has prepared food and grass and has been waiting for your Majesty for a long time."
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows slightly. The attitude of the officials in Yunzhou was beyond his expectation.
After entering the city, he finally understood the reason.
