The rebellion of the sixteenth son of the emperor ended in failure. In the next few days, the empress dowager, princess Yongming, and the prince were all dealing with post-war chores.
Xu Zhiqian and Jin Run'er were both recruited by Han Qiumiao to help deal with various problems.
Although the war is over, the mess left behind still needs everyone to work together to face it.
One general's achievements have led to thousands of deaths. Although the quelling army, under the wise command of Han Qiumiao, achieved a brilliant victory, battle casualties are inevitable. Comforting the wounded soldiers and mourning the dead are all problems they must face next.
In addition, the soldiers and prisoners who followed the rebellion of the Sixteenth Prince also need to be properly settled. The number of rebel soldiers who surrendered is at least 20,000. The Queen Mother cannot kill them all. That is a force that cannot be ignored
manpower...
Furthermore, most of the rebel soldiers were reckless men who had never read a book or seen the world. They just wanted to make a living. They listened to other people's advice and joined the Sixteenth Prince's private army to assist the Sixteenth Prince in his rebellion.
To put it bluntly, many rebel soldiers are like honest boys from the countryside. They know nothing and are easily deceived. Just because they listened to others' instigation, they became the private soldiers of the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor. They have good food, easy living, and can
In order to have enough food and clothing, they responded to the call for three measures of rice.
Then, during military training, they were brainwashed by the generals and instructors of the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor, making them hostile to the Empress Dowager...
The environment can change a person. Rebel soldiers were encouraged to join the army. After two or three years in the military life, they became today's powerful weapons to help the evil.
Han Qiumiao must reorganize these people and make them understand what a stupid move he made by assisting the Sixteenth Emperor's rebellion.
As for the issue of rewards based on merit, the Empress Dowager had issued a decree earlier, and after finishing the post-war chores, she would call on all officials, as well as the famous Jianghu families who assisted Han Qiumi to quell the chaos, to come to the court to discuss merit and praise.
By the way, when everyone was extremely busy, Zhou Xingyun was playing the flute every night, living in the clouds drunkenly and dreamily. Xunxuan was so perfect that he couldn't extricate himself. As a result...
Zhou Xingyun couldn't take it anymore. He was obsessed with Xun Xuan's beauty all day long and acted recklessly for several days.
Xunxuan regretted so much that her intestines broke. She never thought that Zhou Xingyun would be so wild and licentious. Originally, she just wanted to use the method of provocation to make the Sixteenth Emperor's son vomit blood. Who would have expected that the price would be so heavy.
Zhou Xingyun took her directly back to the mansion, and regardless of her resistance, he violently killed her. Admittedly, when Xunxuan took the initiative to kiss Zhou Xingyun, she was already prepared to lose her integrity. After all, Xunxuan also knew that no man in the world could
Resist her charm. The problem is... as a human being, you should know when enough is enough!
Now Xunxuan regretted it. She was captured by Zhou Xingyun and couldn't escape even if she wanted to. If she could start her life over again, she swore that even if she gave up revenge on the Sixteenth Emperor, she would not seduce Zhou Xingyun.
Fortunately among the misfortunes, Wei Suyuan saw her being tortured so miserably this morning that he couldn't bear to give her a hand to stop Zhou Xingyun from bullying the beauty.
However, once Xunxuan thought that Han Qiumiao had given her to Zhou Xingyun, she started to think twice...
"Can you please stop following me all day long?" Xunxuan turned around and looked coldly at Zhou Xingyun. Although Wei Suyao rescued her from the wolf, the pervert still followed her closely, as if he was afraid that she would escape...
"I'm afraid you'll run away." Zhou Xingyun said rationally. Yesterday, the beautiful Xunxuan tried to escape from the Zhou Mansion. Fortunately, he was smart enough to notice her strange movements.
"That's because you didn't let me rest." Xun Xuan suppressed her shame and insinuated Zhou Xingyun Huang.
"It's my fault! You pretended to be unwilling to obey me. The more you struggled and resisted, the more excited I became." Zhou Xingyun told the truth. On the first day, the two of them were obviously getting along, but on the second day, Xun Xuan
I rejected him at first, and then... I had no choice but to take advantage of him.
"Who are you pretending to be?" Xunxuan was furious. She had seen many shameless people, but this was the first time she had seen such a shameless person.
"Okay, okay, if you don't, let's stop arguing and go back to the courtyard to rest." Zhou Xingyun was deeply afraid that the beautiful lady would no longer pay attention to him, so he could only persuade her in a low voice to go back to the courtyard.
"Get out of the way first, I want to go back to the room and take a shower." Xunxuan took a breath silently to calm down her impetuous mood, and tried her best to calmly say to Zhou Xingyun.
In the past few days, Xunxuan has gradually figured out Zhou Xingyun's personality, and knows that there will be no good results if she confronts him head-on.
"Can we come together?" Zhou Xingyun's eyes lit up, and he and Xun Xuan, a beauty, took a bath together. They were absolutely as happy as gods.
"How about waiting for the evening? I haven't taken a shower since I was with you last night. Let me wash my body and accompany you again in the evening." Xunxuan said softly. Only by asking softly could Zhou Xingyun have the possibility of compromise.
sex.
Sure enough, Zhou Xingyun, who was willing to accept the soft rather than the hard, immediately gave in to Xunxuan, who was willing to retreat in order to advance: "Okay, see you tonight."
As soon as Zhou Xingyun nodded in agreement, Xun Xuan quickly entered the room, slammed the doors and windows shut, and locked them to prevent the gangsters from spying on her bathing.
Zhou Xingyun was rejected, sighed softly, and had to go back to the yard to rest alone.
"Little guy, I heard that you have been tossing the beautiful lady for several days. Have you even forgotten your sister?"
"Xiaoxue, Xiaohanxing, you are back! I miss you so much!"
As soon as Zhou Xingyun arrived at the Zhou family courtyard, he saw Zheng Chengxue and Mu Hanxing.
Zhou Xingyun, who was ecstatic, immediately opened his arms, quickly greeted the two beauties, and gave them a big hug.
Mu Hanxing, Zheng Chengxue, Wei Suyao, Ning Xiangyi, a group of girls from the sect were all recalled by the leader of the sect after the battle.
Because of this, Zhou Xingyun has been able to act recklessly in recent days...
Several major Jianghu sects assisted Han Qiumi in putting down the rebellion, but each suffered losses and casualties. Mu Hanxing and Zheng Chengxue both had black veils tied on their arms to mourn their fellow sects.
Similarly, when Wei Suyao and Ning Xiangyi came back this morning, their arms were also tied with black gauze.
"Is Biyuan Villa seriously damaged?" Zhou Xingyun asked weakly.
"Even if the casualties are not many, we can't say it is not serious. However, life and death are determined by life and death in the world, and everyone has already realized it." Zheng Chengxue said calmly. In the process of suppressing the rebellion, Biyuan Villa lost more than twenty disciples who broke into the house.
It is true that as people in the world, they have already learned to face life and death calmly. After all, more people died in a robbery or a vendetta than in this action. Therefore, the disciples of Biyuan Villa are relatively easy to tolerate the current results.
What's more, the members of the Jianghu sect who died in the battle to suppress the rebellion this time will all receive special rewards from the Empress Dowager, which is countless times more glorious than those of the same sect who died in the Yeling battle before.
"Hey, aren't you going to sleep in today?" Mo Nianxi came to the courtyard with Xu Luose, her eyes covered with mist.
"I was woken up, why don't you sleep for a while?" Zhou Xingyun hurriedly greeted the black-haired girl.
"Well, I can't sleep without you beside my pillow." Mo Nianxi took a step forward, rested her forehead on Zhou Xingyun's shoulder, closed her eyes and rested.
The black-haired girl is also one of the three culprits responsible for Zhou Xingyun's desolation and excessive sexual behavior. Da Nizi is very brave and doesn't mind sharing the same husband with Xun Xuan. She accompanied Zhou Xingyun on his mischief last night, but Wei Suyao called Zhou Xingyun this morning.
When I got up, I didn't wake her up.
"Good morning, Mr. Xun." Xu Luose greeted Zhou Xingyun in a gentle and elegant manner. This healing elder sister was Xun Xuan, the last culprit besides Mo Nianxi.
"Lose is good." Zhou Xingyun was young and full of energy. After going through the rebellion and war, he had a lot of anger in his heart.
On the second day after the decisive battle in the imperial city, Xu Luose helped Zhou Xingyun change clothes as usual. Who knew that Zhou Xingyun took her away unexpectedly on a whim and asked her to sleep with Xunxuan...
All in all, in the past few days when everyone was busy, Zhou Xingyun was drunk and dreaming all day long, lingering with three stunning beauties, Xun Xuan, Mo Nianxi, and Xu Luo se. It is true that when you are proud of life, you must enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden bottle be empty to the moon...
"We should come back early." Wei Suyuan walked out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of porridge.
It has only been a few days since they left Zhou Mansion? What has become of Zhou Xingyun? Is it okay if this continues?
"Thank you, Xiao Suyao." Zhou Xingyun took the hot porridge from Wei Suyao and handed it to Xu Luose. Admittedly, Zhou Xingyun didn't want Xu Luose to drink the porridge, but wanted the beauty to feed him...
"Can't you do it yourself?" Wei Suyao frowned, Zhou Xingyun was getting lazier and lazier, and this trend can't last long.
"I'm injured." Zhou Xingyun naturally found an excuse for himself. His injury has not healed, and the abdominal injury has not scabbed.
"..." Wei Suyao couldn't defeat Zhou Xingyun, so he had to turn to Mo Nianxi and others: "There is also porridge and fried dough sticks in the kitchen. If you are hungry, you can go and eat."
Mo Nianxi lowered her head and approached the bowl of porridge held by Xu Luose, slapped her hands and sniffed: "It smells so good, I'm going to eat it." Then she ran towards the kitchen...
"We have eaten." Zheng Chengxue said simply. On their way back from Biyuan Villa Town, they went to Yunxia Inn and had breakfast.
"Is there any news from the Empress Dowager?" Zheng Chengxue asked doubtfully. The situation in the imperial city has been a bit tense recently. Members of various sects do not know the inside story of the court, nor do they know what the Empress Dowager plans to do with the Sixteenth Son of the Emperor.
"No. Zhiqian and Run'er have been away from home recently. When they come back, they might be able to ask something. However, although we put down the rebellion and arrested the sixteenth son of the emperor, the princes in the north are still a problem.
They assisted the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor in his rebellion and have already sent troops to attack the capital, and they will definitely not stop here..."
Zhou Xingyun suddenly fell silent because he thought of a very strange phenomenon.
"Didn't the northern princes send 50,000 troops to attack the capital? Logically speaking, the troops should be approaching the city in the next few days." Mu Hanxing asked questions one after another. This is what Zhou Xingyun found strange...
"I heard from people in the capital that the rebels stationed at 'Longmen Pass' and 'Tianmen Pass' fled immediately after learning that the Sixteenth Prince of the Emperor was captured." Wei Suyao added, the Sixteenth Son of the Emperor was captured.
When the news spread, the rebels stationed at the checkpoint fled immediately, fearing that the Empress Dowager would organize her army to attack them.
"That doesn't mean that the armies of the northern princes will retreat." Zhou Xingyun made a reasonable analysis. The guards in the capital were exhausted after a long battle, and the northern division was going to attack them. They were really difficult to defend.
But now, a few days have passed, and the people in the capital have resumed their daily lives. The Queen Mother has also taken care of post-war chores and confiscated the weapons and armor left by the rebels...
There is still no movement among the large forces of the Northern Division, which is obviously not in line with the status quo.
If Han Qiumiao's estimate is correct, with the marching speed of the Zhenbei Cavalry Regiment, the army should have pressed on the border the day before yesterday at the latest. The 'Tianmen Pass' checkpoint should have lit up the smoke to notify the capital to prepare for war...
