Xie Xuan was unaware of Chen Caozhi's thrilling encounter in his old dormitory. He stood in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon in the night sky, and said to Chen Caozhi: "In two days, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival. The autumn wind in the north is blowing, and the river in the east is full of danger."
Fei, I wonder when I will be able to return home?"
The people of the Xie family in Chen County always have a reclusive spirit. They are willing to display their talents and gain fame, but they are more willing to retire after their achievements and retire to the mountains and forests. They display their talents and gain fame for the sake of their family mission and inner pride.
, retreating to the mountains and forests is the soul’s yearning for the mountains, rivers and pastoral——
Chen Caozhi looked back at the bedroom, heard no movement, walked out into the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Youdu thinks that this foreign country is his hometown. Yangxia in Chen County is the ancestral home of the Xie family. Now it has been recovered. Youdu has not returned to Yangxia."
Do you miss Xia Zhinian?"
"I think a foreign country is my hometown." Xie Xuan recited it twice in a low voice and said with a smile: "I am from the south, and I have no thoughts about Chenjun Yangxia. This life is like a journey against the odds. I can't stay in one place for generations. County
The Wangtang name is just the imprint of the family, and now, I prefer to live in Jiangdong."
Chen Cao said: "I'm afraid I can't do what you want. There are many prefectures and counties in Yan, and they need to be guarded by famous people. How can you stay out of it?"
After the Xianbei Yan was pacified, all the Central Plains were restored, and the Qiaozhou counties originally established in the Eastern Jin Dynasty were all abolished. Big states such as Yanzhou, Xuzhou, Yuzhou, Sizhou, Jizhou, Qingzhou, and Bingzhou all needed governors to be in charge. Of course, the governors of these states were
The appointment of officials must be mainly based on the original Han officials, so that they can not only gain the support of these Han people, but also quickly stabilize the situation. However, a large number of people from the Jiangzuo gentry must enter the original Yan territory to take charge. This is Huan Wen's expansion.
It is a great opportunity for power, and the Jin Dynasty, the king, and the Xie clan must also strive for it——
Xie Xuan nodded and said in a low voice: "In this Northern Expedition, the time, place, and people were so well controlled that the momentum was overwhelming. In just half a year, we took the capital of Ye directly. We have achieved great success, but I am afraid that there are more things inside the Xiaoqiang."
Disaster."
Huan Wen took advantage of the great achievement of destroying Yan and returned to Jiangdong to demand Jiuxi and even forced the Jin Dynasty to become a Zen monk. This would definitely conflict with the Jiangzuo gentry who were willing to maintain the status quo. The clouds were treacherous and dangerous, and it was even more difficult than the Northern Expedition.
Anticipate——
Chen Cao said: "Young Du's concerns are extremely true. We should support each other and make progress together."
Xie Xuan smiled, held Chen Caozhi's hand and said, "Of course, you and I are good friends and in-laws. We should share weal and woe. What else can we say?" After saying this, he said again: "It's late at night, we are
Go back to Prince Le'an's Mansion to rest, there will be a ceremony to accept Murong Wei's surrender tomorrow."
Most of the generals of the Beifu Prefecture lived in the house of Murong Zang, King of Le'an. Murong Zang died at the hands of bandits. The money and silk women in this house were naturally available for anyone to use. Although the Jin army had strict orders not to invade the people and molest women, the people of the Beifu Prefecture were not allowed to invade.
Since the general has lived in the Le'an Palace, it is natural to choose a few beautiful Xianbei concubines to accompany him with wine and sleep. Otherwise, how can he reflect the victor's strength and joy? The Jin army fought bloody and hard, of course, to regain the motherland, but money and silk
Women can stimulate their passion even more. In the past few days, Tian Luo, Wei Qian, Tan Xuan and other generals from the West and North Prefectures have all brought their sergeants to seize and seize the mansions, manors, money, silk and beauties of the fleeing Xianbei nobles. The more money, silk and beauties, the better. Of course,
Chen Caozhi was not in a hurry to seize the money, silk and beauties. His plan was big——
Chen Cao said: "I'll stay here tonight, it's too noisy over there."
Without saying much, Xie Xuan led a group of guards and rode away, leaving Chen Caozhi, Huang Xiaotong and more than 20 people at Bingjing Terrace.
The seventeen-year-old Huang Xiaotong is now the captain of Chen Caozhi's bodyguard, with a rank of ninth rank. When Chen Caozhi said that he wanted to live here, he ordered several of his bodyguards to go back to Prince Le'an's Mansion to get bedding. Chen Caozhi summoned him.
Two brave and capable followers followed, and then went to the bedroom. This Princess Xianbei was not a delicate girl who only knew how to sew and sew, but could not tie a chicken with her hands. He was so careless just now that he didn't expect there would be anyone in this room.
, almost in danger——
…
When Chen Caozhi and Xie Xuan were whispering in the courtyard, the rouge warrior Sanuer, who had a copper bottle on his forehead, woke up with a splitting headache. He couldn't help but moan, and was covered by a warm hand.
Mouth, she heard Princess Qinghe's voice saying in her ear: "Don't make a sound - slave, are you okay?"
Sanur's eyes rolled, and she found herself on the brocade couch, with her head resting on the princess's strong and round thighs. Remembering the scene of being knocked unconscious, she endured the pain and lowered her voice: "Fortunately, where is this?
Did we escape?" After saying that, he sat up and touched his head. There was a big swelling on the left side of the forehead wrapped in a red scarf, and he broke into a cold sweat from the pain -
Princess Murong Qinchen of Qinghe sighed softly: "It's still where it was. Those people are outside, where can we escape to?"
Sanu'er heard the movement in the courtyard and said hurriedly: "That person just injured me, why didn't he arrest us?"
Murong Qinchen had seen Chen Caozhi telling the guards that he had knocked over a copper vase and was helping her cover it up. He was looking forward to it. At this time, he said, "Who knows, maybe they will torture us two severely."
Sanuer's pain subsided a little and she came back to her senses. She remembered that when she drew her knife and rushed out to kidnap the intruder, the princess suddenly shouted "Don't hurt him", which made her stunned and was hit by the intruder.
He was hurt, so he asked the princess why?
Murong Qinchen hesitated and said: "What's the use of hurting him? There are dozens of Jin soldiers in the courtyard - come, slave, does your head still hurt? I'll rub it for you -"
"You can't rub it." Sanu'er quickly stopped him. Seeing the princess's eyes as bright as stars in the dim light, she couldn't help but feel moved and asked: "Princess, who was that person just now? Does the princess recognize him?"
Murong Qinchen hesitated for a moment, then Sanuer said: "I know, he is Chen Caozhi!"
Two days ago at the Zhulin Jingshe in the back of Longgang Temple, Sanuer met Chen Cao. As a member of the Rouge Warriors, how could she not know about the entanglement between Princess Qinghe and Chen Caozhi?
Her consort was so angry that he had nothing to do but asked someone to carry a thick plank of wood in front of him and run away. On the thick plank were three words "Chen Caozhi" written in big letters. The princess chased after her on horseback and fired her bow at the plank "Chen Caozhi" to vent her anger. Unexpectedly, the real person was there.
However, the princess did not want her to hurt Chen Caozhi, so she was knocked unconscious by Chen Caozhi. Sanuer could not help but feel a little resentful, but her fear calmed down a little. This Chen Caozhi should not hurt her.
Your Highness, please, will Chen Caozhi be lenient and let the princess escape?
When Murong Qinchen saw Sanuer calling Chen Caozhi's name, his cheeks were on fire and he felt ashamed. Qiqi Aiai explained: "It's useless to hurt him. Can you kidnap a Jin general out of the city? This is impossible.
."
Seeing the princess's embarrassed look, Sanu'er thought to herself: "Your Highness's heart is still with that Chen Caozhi. In the past, when he said he hated Chen Caozhi, it was all lies. But how can Chen Caozhi be as beautiful as a phoenix? And now
Chen Caozhi led troops to destroy Yan, which is completely different from what he did when he came to Yedu two years ago." He said, "Princess, you don't need to say more, I understand."
After hearing Sanu'er's explanation, Murong Qinchen felt even more ashamed. For some reason, he sighed quietly. Then he heard footsteps coming to the house again, the door was pushed open, and Chen Caozhi came -
When Chen Caozhi entered the room, the moonlight had been moved away from the small table and spread across a large area on the ground. The bedroom was a little brighter than before, but the brocade curtain on the bed was drooped and trembling slightly. Princess Qinghe must have been with that person.
The fierce maids all hid on the bed. They hid on the bed when they were afraid. This is really ridiculous——
Chen Caozhi took five steps away from the bed and said, "Come out." There was no movement for a while, and then he said, "How long can I hide?"
The brocade tent was suddenly divided, and Qinghe Princess Murong Qinchen jumped out and glared at Chen Caozhi angrily——
The two guards instantly took a step forward, stood in front of Chen Caozhi, and drew their swords from their sheaths——
Murong Qinchen's snow-white left skirt robe was stained with mud and moss, and his swan-like neck was still raised high. He sneered: "Chen Caozhi, you are so majestic. You brought the guards to arrest me, right? Why don't you yourself?
Come and catch me with your own hands, are you afraid of me? If we fight alone, I can defeat you as a woman."
Chen Caozhi smiled slightly, signaled the two retinues to step back, and said: "Your Highness, please don't provoke me. If a gentleman does not compete with his wits and his courage, who am I to compete with a woman's courage?"
Murong Qinchen let out a "hum" and asked, "How are you doing?" His white teeth were gnawing at his lips, and his face was stern.
Chen Caozhi looked at the brocade couch and asked, "There is another one, is he seriously injured?"
Sanuer also got off the couch, covering his head and staring at Chen Caozhi bitterly.
Chen Cao said: "Hand over the weapons first."
Murong Qinchen said provocatively: "Why, are you afraid? Are you as timid as a mouse?"
Chen Caozhi was not angry and said: "You two are my prisoners, so naturally you must surrender your weapons."
When Murong Qinchen heard what Chen Caozhi said, although he was angry, his face turned red. The Xianbei tribes were fighting, and the loser's cattle, sheep, and children would all belong to the winner. The winner would be his master, as long as the master liked that person.
She is the master’s concubine——
The little golden knife had been picked up by Murong Qinchen and inserted back into the skirt of his leg. How could he expose his thigh to disarm him? He said with shame and anger: "Just kill me. You are as shameless as that scar-faced man."
Disciple."
Sanur on one side suddenly knelt down with a bang and begged: "Chen Xima, please let our princess go. When Chen Ximin was in Yecheng, our Royal Highnesses Phoenix and Princess treated Chen Xima very well."
, has Chen Xima forgotten? I beg Chen Xima to open his eyes and let our princess go out of the city. Sanuer offended Chen Xima and let him do whatever he wants."
Chen Caozhi looked at the rouge warrior kneeling upright in front of him, and admired Murong Chong very much. In order to protect Murong Chong from escaping, the team of rouge warriors first lured the enemy naked, and then tried their best to kill each other, which made people awe-inspiring.
Seeing that Chen Caozhi seemed to be interested, Sanuer quickly added: "Chen Xima must also know about our princess's affection for Chen Xima. If nothing else, it was just now that Sanuer wanted to kidnap Chen Xima. Princess
She also refused, for fear of hurting Chen Xima, and would rather Nu'er be knocked unconscious - Sanu'er has no complaints, because Sanu'er is the same, and Sanu'er can risk everything for the man he loves."
When Sanu'er said this, Princess Murong Qinchen of Qinghe stood aside, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she stamped her feet anxiously: "Slave, please don't say, slave, don't say -"
Chen Caozhi was also a little embarrassed. He coughed and asked, "What did you two want when you ran out of the palace?"
Sanuer suddenly asked: "Does Chen Xima know the whereabouts of my master, His Royal Highness King Zhongshan, whether he is alive or dead?"
Murong Qinchen also opened his beautiful pale blue eyes and looked at Chen Caozhi with concern, waiting for his answer——
Chen Cao said: "There is no news of Murong Chong being captured, so he must have fled to Longcheng."
Murong Qinchen and Sanu'er were both overjoyed, and Sanu'er immediately begged, "Please Chen Xima, please have mercy and let our princess go to Dragon City too."
Chen Cao smiled and asked, "You two escaped from the palace just to go to Dragon City?"
Murong Qinchen responded: "Yes."
Chen Cao said: "Your mother and your brother are both in Yecheng. Duke Huan has allowed them to surrender and will not kill them. Why do you want to escape?"
Murong Qinchen said bluntly: "My mother, the emperor's brother wants to send me to Huan Wen's son to ensure safety, but I don't want to, so I have to run away."
Sanuer interjected: "If the princess follows Chen Xima, then that's it. That Huan Xi is too ugly."
Murong Qinchen blushed and was about to scold him, but when he touched Chen Caozhi's half-smiling gaze, he couldn't say anything for some reason. He just said "hum", and after a while, he said half-shyly and half-annoyed:
"Nonsense, I won't follow anyone."
Looking at the beauty under the moon is even more touching, not to mention Murong Qinchen, a stunning beauty in the world. Chen Caozhi is not blind. When he sees the Xianbei Princess's eyes flowing, her shy, angry and coquettish expression, she can't help but feel excited and calm.
After calming down, he said: "Tomorrow your brother will officially surrender to the Jin Dynasty. My envoy from the Jin Dynasty will take your brother's letter of surrender and tell the generals in the Yan Kingdom to surrender. Otherwise, we will meet each other with swords and swords. Although Longcheng is far away, how can we be an exception?"
!”
After saying this, Murong Qinchen realized that although the world was big, there was no place for her to belong to, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
Sanuer looked at his face and saw that the handsome Confucian general Chen Caozhi seemed to care for their princess, so he said: "With Chen Xima's power, can't he protect our princess? Our princess is infatuated with Chen Caozhi.
Chen Xima couldn't bear to marry that Crown Prince Huan even though we have one piece of her!"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Huan Xi definitely can't marry. As for whether to marry someone else, it's up to the princess to make her own decision. You two have to go back to the palace, otherwise you will find that the princess is missing when dawn comes.
Mother, your brother will also be severely imprisoned."
Murong Qinchen said stubbornly: "Now that I have come out, I will never go back to the palace unless you kidnap me back."
Chen Cao said: "I won't kidnap you back, so what if I let you two go? But can you two get out of the city? How far can you escape out of the city? Don't think that just having a knife is enough."
Murong Qinchen and Sanu'er looked at each other. Now is not the time when they used to ride horses and hunt without any obstruction. Now there is a war and chaos, with rebels and thieves everywhere. Although these two women can ride and shoot, it is of no use!
But at this moment, I heard the clatter of horse hooves outside the courtyard. I thought it was the guards sent by Huang Xiaotong to get the bedding. Unexpectedly, Tian Luo, Cai Guang, Dai Xun, He Qian, Liu Laozhi, Su Qi and Ran Sheng all followed.
I came here to see Chen Sima's residence in Yecheng the year before last, but the real purpose was that these Huaibei civilian commanders recruited by Chen Cao wanted to inquire about Chen Caozhi's tone and how Huan Da Sima would reward them.
, this is no longer a matter of money and silk, but of official position. The reason why I came here so urgently at night is because after the surrender of Yan Lord Murong Wei tomorrow, the generals of Beifu will go out again to wipe out the Yan territory. There are few days to get together, and Huan Wen
The petition requesting credit from Kodong will be submitted quickly in the near future——
When Chen Caozhi heard that the generals from Beifu had arrived, he told Murong Qinchen and Sanuer to stay indoors and not to show their faces——
After Chen Caozhi went out, Sanuer and Murong Qinchen whispered for a while. Murong Qinchen made up his mind, straightened his robes, and walked out. He saw Chen Caozhi talking to a group of generals in the courtyard.
The sergeant was lighting a tallow candle in the hall, and seemed to be preparing to enter the hall for a long talk——
Chen Caozhi was talking with Tian Luo and others when he suddenly saw the group of people in front of him looking behind him, all of them dumbfounded. Chen Caozhi was very surprised. When he looked back, he saw Princess Qinghe and the rouge warrior standing in front of each other.
On the corridor, the tall Princess Qinghe's white robe hangs down to the floor. She is slender and white, with slender eyes, beautiful and noble——
The generals of Beifu were stunned at first, but they woke up after a while and laughed loudly. Tian Luo laughed and said: "We are presumptuous, really presumptuous, to disturb Chen Sima's dream of spring, haha."
Dai Xun smiled and said: "I wonder why Chen Sima didn't go back to Le'an Prince's Mansion, but it turned out that he was hiding his beauty in this golden room. Come get some wine. Come get some wine. Dai wants to toast Chen Sima."
Cai Guangze sighed: "Chen Sima is indeed very discerning and blessed. It is difficult to choose this Xianbei beauty among ten thousand. Compared with this girl, the women in the Le'an Palace are nothing more than rubbish."
The generals of Beifu became more interested, and they all felt that the lustful Chen Sima was more approachable——
Ran Sheng and Su Qi knew that this was Princess Qinghe. Su Qi didn't say anything, but was surprised in her heart. Why did Princess Qinghe appear in Chen Cao's room?
Ran Sheng, however, frowned. He was very unhappy that his brother was with Princess Xianbei. He couldn't help but said angrily, "This is sister Murong Wei, the princess who lost her country."
Tian Luo and others were even more stunned and looked at each other in total silence.
Murong Qinchen shyly endured the teasing of Tian Luo and others without moving, silently and powerfully confirming the words of the Beifu generals. If you want to marry, then marry Chen Caozhi. A person like Huan Xi would rather die than obey——
Chen Caozhi was quite embarrassed, but he also admired the Xianbei woman's fierceness and courage. Now that the evidence was irrefutable, there was no way to refute it, so he said: "Discuss the big things first, discuss the big things first." He took the lead in entering the hall.
Although the generals in Tianluo were surprised that Chen Caozhi actually took Murong Wei's sister as his special favorite, they didn't think it was a big deal. They were more concerned about the future of themselves and their respective families.
Generals Tian Luo and Huan Xi, the commander-in-chief of the Beifu Army, had nothing to say. They had nothing to say to Chen Caozhi. They told Chen Caozhi and others what positions they wanted, and they also hoped that the children of the clan could successfully enter official positions and be promoted——
Chen Cao said: "Don't worry, Cao Zhi will do his best to ask for credit for you. Of course, the final decision must be made by Huan Da Sima, but Cao Zhi will never neglect to do what he can for you."
After getting along for a long time, everyone admired Chen Caozhi's intelligence and character. Having expressed their wishes, they all left together, not to disturb Chen Sima's sweet spring night dream——
Ran Sheng originally wanted to stay, but then he shook his head. My brother had already left the Xianbei Princess in the room. If there was anything else to say, he just followed Tian Luo and others back to Le'an Prince's Mansion.
