Chapter 8: There is a Daughter in the Li Family of the First Marquis Chapter 8 Chatting about Other People's Affairs Han Xu was imprisoned. When Han Xu didn't know about it, Wu Ya'er knew about it.
Hu Aqi has been guarding the city gate in Linzhou, and by the way, he informed Wu Ya'er of the developments in Linzhou.
As the seat of the emperor, Linzhou also controlled the dynamics of the world.
Hu Aqi watched the people in Linzhou change, first Xiang Yun, then Li Mingyu, and then the emperor finally drove away, leaving him behind.
The emperor has left, but there are still many people in Linzhou, so the city still needs to be defended.
Not long after, some soldiers and horses came from Henan Road. They said they were soldiers and horses from Jiannan Road sent by General Xiao Qi. Han Xu accepted them happily. It seemed that Han Xu trusted General Xiao Qi's soldiers and horses.
"But these people didn't listen to Han Xu at all. After taking the city defense guards into their hands, they took matters into their own hands." Hu Aqi said, "They put Linzhou under martial law and cut off all trade routes. They used the excuse of Ande Zhong.
Rebel threat."
The Andezhong rebels left Taiyuan Prefecture and flowed westward to the Western Regions, posing a threat to various places in the west.
But it is far from the point where martial law cuts off trade routes.
Who gave such an order? Li Mingyu has no need, the emperor? That six-year-old baby doesn't understand anything at all.
Obviously, the only people in Daxia who can issue orders now are the newly appointed regents and supervisors of the country.
"And do you know what is even more terrifying?" Hu Aqi looked at the two of them, "Han Xu has a personal bodyguard, called Xiaozhong, who is Han Xu's most trusted person."
Wang Li looked at him and asked, "How?"
Hu Aqi said: "Those soldiers and horses obeyed him, and he also gave the order to seal Linzhou."
It's obvious that this Xiaozhong is not Han Xu's person.
"I asked about the origin of this Xiaozhong. He was a knight-errant. He saved Han Xu in a crisis, so he accepted him as his master and followed him." Hu Aqi said, "Do you know when the crisis happened?"
Wang Li did not support him: "Say it quickly!"
Hu Aqi said meaningfully: "Xuanwu Dao, when Mrs. Wu saved Han Xu."
Think about it, what does it mean for Mrs. Wu and You Xiaer to appear together!
"Crow, we have seen with our own eyes how Mrs. Wu was surrounded by rangers."
Back then, Wu Ya'er had a slight smile on his face. He had made a joke when he saw her for the first time. His suspicions that he was on guard turned out to be wrong. If he had confessed his identity and came directly to her door at that time, maybe he would have gotten to know her earlier...
"Why are you laughing?" Hu Aqi asked with a glare, "This means that woman has already held Han Xu in her hand. How terrifying!"
After seeing this clearly, the emperor was no longer here. He said hello and ran away with his troops, staying away from this place to avoid being trapped.
Wang Li looked calm: "He is like this when it comes to that woman, just get used to it."
Wu Ya'er smiled and said nothing.
"What did she write to say?" Wang Li asked, "What about the weather and how your body is?"
Otherwise, what should she say to him? Wu Yaer looked at the white sea of snow. She told him about that matter. How should he respond?
Just like locking up Han Xu, not telling him is also a form of protection.
She didn't want to fall out with him...
"What you said is too beautiful, isn't it?" Wang Lida said, "Why couldn't it be that she was afraid of confronting us, so she deliberately comforted her?"
Wu Ya'er hummed, this was naturally what she wanted to avoid.
"You're not praising her!" Wang Li said angrily, "She can't fight us, she can't beat us, so I'm coaxing you to appease you. When she becomes more powerful in the future, she will be the first to get rid of you!"
Wu Ya'er laughed: "In the future, why can't we be the most powerful in the future? It is possible that we will get rid of her in the future!"
That's right. Wang Li and Hu Aqi were stunned for a moment. Who can say what will happen in the future!
And even now why the woman is still coaxing Wu Ya'er, it's naturally because she doesn't dare and can't do anything to them!
Not now, and even less so in the future!
What is there to be angry and uneasy about? The two of them were relieved, but were frightened by the queen...
"Captain!"
A guard came quickly and saluted and reported.
"Great victory in Yizhou! The Chu Army's Longyou Army killed Ande Zhong!"
It's fast enough, Wang Lihu Aqi lamented, and Ande Zhong didn't make it through the years.
"Then we are the only ones left." Wu Ya'er said, "If we don't kill Shi Chao, we will be forgotten by the world."
There is no power anymore.
Wang Li and Hu Ah Qi turned around and left.
"Send the order!"
"We will never let Shi Chao have a good year!"
They shouted in unison, and the soldiers' shouts came from the wind and snow, like thunder in June.
The generous tent blocked out the wind and snow. Wu Ya'er sat down in front of the desk, took out the letter from his chest and spread it out. The fragrance of red plum blossoms slowly spread out.
In addition to the red plums, there is also a small portrait accompanying the letter. Three women wrapped in red cloaks are standing in the snow admiring the plum blossoms. Although the portrait is small, the eyebrows are clear. Wu Yaer's fingers gently brushed it. This is the mother, and this is the person who claims to be
Wan'er's maid, this is her...
He put dried plum blossoms on the portrait to make the portrait more lifelike.
Wu Yaer looked at it for a moment, then took up a pen and spread out the letter paper. In addition to the dried plums and the portrait, she also asked him in the letter if he wanted to go back to celebrate the New Year.
He won't go back.
"It's bitterly cold in winter and the war is stalemate. It's inconvenient for me to leave."
"My mother is with you, and I feel at ease."
There was no telling what would happen in the future, but one thing he was sure of was that no matter whether he was alive or dead, even if she was facing swords with him, she would treat his mother well.
As long as his mother has no worries, he has nothing to fear.
With the demise of Ankangshan father and son, the New Year atmosphere in the ninth year of Chengyuan was also different from previous years.
The sound of firecrackers is much louder in various places in Daxia, and there are many people walking on the road, and there are also many more people wearing new clothes.
Although Andong City has just recovered, it is still very lively during the first month of the New Year.
Several gentlemen of the Xiang family were out chatting and joking with several gentlemen from the local big families who were visiting. They stood together without the slightest demeanor of outsiders and were high-spirited.
The Xiang family is a foreigner, but they are also the real owners of Andong City.
There was a lot of New Year's joy in the inner house, with maids and maids running around, and children running and laughing, but there was no joy on the faces of the few gentlemen in the main hall.
"Then Zhao Jin is really so shameless?" Mr. Xiang asked, "Does he know that the sixth brother made a great contribution to killing Ande Zhong?"
Master Xiang Wu said angrily: "I said it, what do you think Zhao Jin said?"
The people in the room said impatiently, "Lao Wu, please stop showing off!"
Master Xiang Wu stretched out his hand: "He said half of it, the sixth brother only has half of the credit, and the other half belongs to the First Marquis."
Mr. Xiang sighed: "How shameless!"
Others also scolded, "Zhao Jin is the lackey of the Marquis!" "He is shameless. He first took refuge in Ankang Mountain and then the Wu family!" "How dare he say that we are guilty?" "He stole our property! And he wants to do it again!"
Those who arrested us?" "Let's go back and see if we dare!"
Old Mrs. Xiang coughed heavily: "Then you go back and try?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
After Ankang Mountain died and Taiyuan Prefecture regained it, they prepared to go back and sent their servants to sort it out first. However, they saw that Zhao Jin, who had become the prefect of Taiyuan again, arrested several aristocratic families who had returned.
His house was ransacked! He was jailed! He was questioned! He even killed a few people!
The charges include passing falsehoods as truth during wartime, disobeying orders, confusing people's minds, etc.
Mr. Xiang Wu went there in person, but he didn't dare to go into Taiyuan Mansion to find someone to meet Zhao Jin. Zhao Jin didn't say anything nice and wanted to take Mr. Xiang Wu back. Fortunately, Mr. Xiang Wu brought many people with him.
This is true. They don't dare to go back and try it. If their heads fall off, it will be over.
"When it comes to questioning, Zhao Jin will be the first to die!"
"We just ran away, he surrendered to the enemy!"
"If he is so arrogant, no one will care about him?"
Mr. Xiang said: "His backer is the Queen, who can take care of him now?"
Seeing that the people in the hall were still talking, Mr. Xiang waved his hand: "Stop talking. If you don't let me go back, I won't go back first. The villain Zhao Jin has succeeded, so we should avoid his sharp edges."
People in the hall didn't dare to mention it anymore.
"When the Sixth Master is also granted the title of Marquis, let's see how dare he still be so arrogant!"
Everyone said auspicious words and left.
Only Mr. Xiang and Mr. Xiang were left in the hall.
"In today's world, it doesn't matter if you don't dare to return home if you have a family." Old Mrs. Xiang said, "If you have merit, you don't dare to accept it."
Years ago, Xiang Yun killed Ande Zhong. The imperial court offered him a reward and asked Xiang Yun to enter the capital. Xiang Yun refused, saying that there were still remnants of the rebels and that the Shi Dynasty had proclaimed himself emperor. He had no shame in accepting the merit and vowed that there would be one in the world.
He will never enter Beijing if there are rebels.
"Sixth brother, are you thinking too much?" Mr. Xiang asked hesitantly, "There are so many court officials and a queen mother in the capital, so the queen dares to arrest sixth brother?"
Mr. Xiang glanced at him: "Why doesn't she dare? She even dared to kill the Emperor Cui Zheng..."
Mr. Xiang hurriedly hissed to his father.
"What's so scary?" Mr. Xiang said nonchalantly, "Who in the world doesn't know this clearly? Otherwise, why would Qishan and Xiaonan grab the western part of Zhejiang? Jiangnan Road drove away the Chu army? What's the meaning of the imperial court's rewards now?
That is the grace in the hands of the queen!"
He shook out his robe and picked up the heater on the table.
"It's better to raise more troops and occupy more territory."
Mr. Xiang nodded and became angry again when he mentioned Qishan.
"This Qishan is so shameless! Before the rebels finished fighting, he went to grab Xiaonan's rear!"
"Then Western Zhejiang should all belong to Xiaonan!"
Before he finished speaking, someone outside the door announced, "Miss Qi is here!"
The rest of Mr. Xiang's words turned into a sneer, "Why doesn't she leave? Her father and Xiaonan have gone to the knife, so why does she still have the nerve to show off in our house?"
Old Mrs. Xiang hummed and raised his hand: "Go get a knife and drive her away."
Mr. Xiang was startled, "Me? Father, you want me to..."
Old Mrs. Xiang said: "You can do whatever you want."
Well, he, he doesn't dare to do things like holding a knife. As long as the old man gives the order, he will go...
He is not good at making decisions on his own.
This kind of thing should be discussed at home.
Mr. Xiang looked at the two women walking in the yard, their skirts flying in the air as they strode.
"Look, my father even attacked Xiaonan, but she is calm in our house without even a guard." He pointed and looked at Mr. Xiang again, "You are not as brave as a girl.
big."
Mr. Xiang, who was over fifty years old, blushed and felt aggrieved: "Dad, although she doesn't have a guard, the girl next to her carries a knife. It is said that one of her can hit ten."
