Slag suffers as [main attack]

The reprimands and insults of the veterans failed to restore Xi Ruier and the Weijiajun. Now, the capital is empty, and everyone is in danger.

In the past, when the common people heard that the Three Kings were about to call, they could still use it as a talking point, scolding the Three Kings for being overreaching, but now, as one thing happened, they became less and less confident.

The escape of the palace maid and eunuch was like some kind of signal, which completely sounded the alarm in the capital.After that, the escape of the imperial physician, the departure of the Wei family army, and the departure of King Zhao all conveyed a certain message: Emperor Chu is going to be doomed this time!

The people under the imperial city began to be at a loss. Someone compared the strength of the three kings with the current strength of Emperor Chu, and concluded that Emperor Chu had no chance of winning, and their thoughts of fleeing became more and more serious. stronger.But for the people at that time, firstly, it was hard to leave their homeland, secondly, there was no preparation in advance, and they didn’t know where to go for a while, and thirdly, in this troubled world, they didn’t know where to go safely.Confusion and fear almost overwhelmed the hearts of the common people, and the whole capital was filled with a depressed atmosphere.

Later, news came out from nowhere that King Zhao was the most diligent in governing and caring for the people, and he gave certain rewards to the people who went to join him. The people under his rule did not say anything bad about him. Heart pounding.Later, there were rumors that the Kingdom of Zhao was located in the north, so it was not easy to be affected by the war. King Zhao was powerful, and his soldiers were strong and strong.People who have the conditions should pack up the things at home in just a few days, take away what can be taken away, and give away what can't be taken away, or sell it, and then take all their belongings and defect to King Zhao.

I heard that King Zhao was really kind to these refugees. He not only personally welcomed them to the border of Zhao State, but also arranged fields and residences for them.As long as they are hardworking and steadfast, they are expected to be able to live a stable and prosperous life again within a few years.The people were moved, and naturally they worked harder to promote King Zhao's benevolence.

They didn't know that King Zhao would appear at the junction of Chu State and Zhao State, and he was not here to greet them as they thought.King Zhao stayed at the border purely to stay with Xi Ruier, who would let Xi Ruier and his generals refuse to cross the border and go back to Zhao Kingdom with him!

After finally finding his lover, and having just connected with his lover, how could King Zhao be willing to part with him?In order to allow himself to stay in a legitimate way, King Zhao also found an excuse for himself, euphemistically saying that he could keep an eye on Chu's every move at the border.

Ministers of Zhao Kingdom: Hehe, you can just lie to ghosts.

However, in the face of King Zhao's behavior of false publicity and selfishness, they really have nothing to do.King Zhao, who has always been calm and understanding the general situation, behaved like a coquettish child in this matter. No matter what, he would hold his own candy and refused to let go.This long-lost childishness caused mixed feelings in the hearts of several courtiers in Zhao Kingdom who almost watched King Zhao grow up.

Forget it, although King Zhao was guarding at the border and refused to come back, he didn't let go of any of the business, so old men like them should just turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye, don't be disgusted by others.

Now, Xi Ruier and King Zhao are really living a happy life. Although the Wei Family Army and Zhao Kingdom's border troops are at war with each other on the surface, they are on guard against each other, but at night, King Zhao uses Qiao Zhuang's disguise to come to the Wei Family Army to carry out a sneak attack.I don't know what method King Zhao used to hide it from the people around him. Almost every time he came to Xi Ruier, he would not be found.

After being surprised for a while at first, Cyril let him go.

On this day, King Zhao crossed the border again.Xi Ruier knew that he was coming, so she was waiting for him in an alley early.

The long figure of the young man stood by the side of the street, holding a lamp in his hand, and stood there quietly for an unknown how long.Occasionally, there was smoke from the kitchen, which enveloped the young man, making the young man more mysterious and unpredictable.

The dim light reflected the young man's jade-like face, and the moment the young man raised his black glazed eyes, the soft and clear eyes hit King Zhao's heart directly, which made King Zhao feel a sense of joy in his heart.

Even if he doesn't say or do anything, as long as he can see the boy and stay by his side, King Zhao's heart will become very soft.As long as the young man is by his side, even in such a small border town where wars happen frequently, he can feel the tranquility of the years.

King Zhao stepped forward to straighten Xi Ruier's fox fur collar that was blown by the wind, and took Xi Ruier's slightly cold hand and said, "I kept you waiting."

Xi Ruier glanced at him, noncommittal: "Since you're here, come and walk around with me."

The border is not as bustling as the capital city, and after nightfall, many shops are closed.Fortunately, the border area between Zhao State and Chu State is relatively peaceful, and some shops are still open for business.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the frequent wars here that the people here cherish life in peace even more.

While turning a street, Xi Ruier and King Zhao saw a peddler selling hairpins.The peddler was frowning. It was obvious that today's business was not very good. When he first saw Xi Ruier and King Zhao, he became nervous: "Do you want a hairpin? It's a beautiful hairpin. Take it back and give it to the lady at home. His wife must be happy..."

These two guests seemed to be rich masters, if they could buy a few hairpins, his living expenses for this month would be covered!

"Miss?" Cyril stopped in her tracks, and there was some doubt in her pleasant voice.

"Yes. Look at this hairpin. Although it is not very expensive, it is better than the novelty of the workmanship..." Seeing something interesting, the peddler talked endlessly to Xi Ruier about the benefits of buying this hairpin.He knew very well that to these noble people, the hairpins he sold were nothing but a novelty at best, so he did not use the quality of the hairpins as a breakthrough, but emphasized on bringing the hairpins back. Let the wife know what the husband thinks about her.

Xi Ruier glanced at King Zhao, thoughtfully: "The lady at home... would really like this kind of thing?"

In fact, he didn't listen very carefully to what the peddler said, and had been paying attention to King Zhao's reaction.

Seeing the embarrassment on King Zhao's handsome face, Xi Ruier couldn't help laughing.

"Naturally, as a man, sir, you probably don't know that what matters to this woman is the man's affection for her. It doesn't matter what you give, as long as she has this heart, she will be happy in her heart."

"Oh, so it doesn't matter if I don't buy the hairpin from you, I just buy something and give it to him, it can still show my heart."

"You can't say that." The peddler said seriously: "Women like rouge, gouache and jewelry. You have to choose what you like, so that you can show your heart to your wife. If you buy something that your wife doesn't need When I go back, I can only put it aside. Do you think this is the reason? If you are not satisfied with these hairpins, I still have some rouge and gouache here, as well as gadgets that my daughter likes. They are also very good. You can take a look Do you want to bring some to the lady at home?"

Hearing the words of the lady on the left and the lady on the right, King Zhao finally couldn't bear it anymore: "You talk a lot!"

The aura on his body was already strong, even if he restrained himself a lot because of Cyril's presence, it was not something this peddler could resist.The peddler was startled when he heard his scolding, he didn't know how he had offended the nobleman, and was about to apologize when he heard Xi Ruier say, "What did you scare him into, and he didn't say anything wrong."

King Zhao turned his head, his face turned red.What's wrong?Does he look like someone who needs to be coaxed?Are these rouge, gouache, hairpins and the like useful to him?

Xi Ruier pointed to the most elegant hairpin and said, "Help me wrap this hairpin. Your hairpin is very good, and my... wife will definitely like it." Then, he picked out some novelties He took out a piece of silver and handed it to the peddler: "You don't need to look for it, the rest will be your reward."

The man immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for your reward." The profit he made today is worth a ten-year profit in the past.After all, this place is at the border, and doing these small businesses can make a lot of money compared to the bustling areas.Fortunately, from time to time, there are some wealthy military masters passing by here, and it is more than enough to support the whole family by selling these small things.His family was already frugal, and with this ingot of silver, there would be no need to worry about the lives of the young and old in the family for a while.

After leaving the stall, Xi Ruier eagerly inserted the hairpin into King Zhao's hair, and stuffed the things in his hands into King Zhao's hands.Before King Zhao could react, something was stuffed in his hand, which was something his daughter and children liked to play with, and he was quite dumbfounded.

Take a closer look at him, a masculine big man, with this pink bead flower, it looks so awkward.

Xi Ruier stared at him carefully for a while, then suddenly fell on his shoulder, laughing happily: "Is the lady still satisfied with this gift for her husband?"

Even if King Zhao didn't look in the mirror, he knew how weird his appearance was now, and felt a little helpless.

Although he felt extremely uncomfortable wearing something that was only worn by such a girl, King Zhao did not intend to spoil the scene when he saw such a childish side of his lover.He looked at Xi Ruier tenderly and dotingly, pampering Xi Ruier to the utmost.If one day, Cyril wants to ride on his head and domineering, he will surely be willing to do so.

But Xi Ruier didn't realize his conscience because of King Zhao's obedience, and let King Zhao go. For some reason, the little devil in his heart suddenly appeared today, and he wanted to see King Zhao make a fool of himself.He dragged King Zhao who was wearing a hairpin all over the streets and alleys, and after receiving countless attentions from passers-by, he returned home contentedly.

"Be careful on the road." Cyril stood at the door and waved at him: "The things I gave you must be kept well."

"...Okay." This little villain, I'm afraid I won't see him as a joke, right?King Zhao felt that he seemed to have unconsciously brought out the extremely bad side of his lover.

However, no matter which side of his lover, he is willing to accept.Maybe love really makes people lose their minds. In short, he thinks that even his lover's small flaws are quite cute.

The house that Xi Ruier and his brother-in-law found was not too big, at least not comparable to the General Wei's mansion in Beijing.However, now that there are only two masters in the whole family, Xi Ruier and his brother-in-law, there is no need to pay so much attention.

After saying goodbye to King Zhao, Xi Ruier walked into the compound.

The night wind is desolate, and the plum fragrance bursts out.The swaying tree shadow is reflected on the window lattice, like a beast with teeth and claws.

Xi Ruier tightened the clothes on her body, seeing that the light in the main house was still on, she knew that his brother-in-law was still waiting for him, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty.At this time, it was really not too early, and ordinary people had already fallen asleep.

"Xiaoxi, you're back." Before Xi Ruier opened the door to enter, he saw Yixiong standing at the door, and presumably heard the sound of the door opening, knowing that he was back.

"Well, brother, why don't you go to bed? In the future, if I go out, brother won't have to wait for me. Brother has a lot of work every day. If it's because of me that he can't even rest well at night, then I will be guilty. "

During this period of getting along, Xi Ruier had a good impression of his brother-in-law.

At the beginning, when he said that he wanted to leave the capital, his righteous brother agreed without saying a word.Without the help of this sworn brother, he really would never have thought of commanding the Wei family army.Although he is the real son of the Wei family, the legitimate heir of the Wei family army, but because he was weak since childhood, he never joined the army, and he never established any deep friendship with the soldiers of the Wei family army.

But his brother-in-law is different. This brother-in-law was originally the son of a general under General Wei. The general died accidentally in a battle. General Wei adopted his child and regarded him as his own. Xiao grew up with several children of the Wei family.This righteous brother is also good at fighting. When he was thirteen or fourteen years old, he went to the battlefield with General Wei, and he stayed there until today.It can be said that apart from General Wei and Wei Lingxi's elder brothers, it is his righteous brother who wins the hearts of the people.

After the deaths of General Wei and Wei Lingxi's elder brothers, if it weren't for this righteous brother who took charge of the overall situation, most of the power of the Wei family army would have been dispersed.In the Wei family army, the words of his righteous brother are undoubtedly more effective than his words.

At the beginning, Cyril also hesitated.If his righteous brother is unwilling to agree to him, what should he do.Fortunately, for his decision, his brother-in-law is very supportive, even more active than him.However, after they withdrew to the border with the guards, his righteous brother's reaction was a bit wrong.

Xi Ruier found that every time he met King Zhao, Yibro would wait until he came back.If he doesn't come back, he will never go to bed first.And when he came back, he would never be in a good mood.He used to think that it was the righteous brother who came here for the first time and didn't adjust his mentality, but with the passage of time, he no longer thinks so.

He felt that it was necessary for him to have a good talk with his righteous brother.In the past, he didn't have much contact with this righteous brother in the palace. However, during the journey from Beijing to this city, his righteous brother took good care of him, and he gradually developed some affection for this righteous brother. , although not strong, but enough to affect his mood.If his righteous brother has any knots in his heart, he should solve it as soon as possible.
