across mountains and seas

Xishen Prefecture was waiting to be revived. Before Jin Shoujiang led his army to Xiyang City, Jing Lan could still manage various important military and political affairs of Xishen Prefecture.It's strange to say that it's only half a month's journey from Guancheng to Xiyang City, but a whole month has passed, and Jin Shoujiang has not arrived in Xiyang City for a long time.It is said that Mr. Jin caught wind and cold in Guancheng, and has been recuperating in Guancheng for the past few days.

This illness happened so coincidentally that no matter how stupid a person could understand, it was Jin Shoujiang's deliberate intention.The imperial court's decree is to follow, but life, old age, sickness and death are common things, and he cannot be allowed to go on the road as a centenarian with a sick body. If he fails halfway, the imperial court's move to weaken the power of the Dongjing clan will be considered in vain.

Jin Lingdang was somewhat worried about her grandpa. She sent several letters to Jin Shoujiang's family. Seeing that the handwriting on the family letters was still vigorous, Jin Lingdang was relieved.

Jin Shoujiang also sent a letter to Jing Lan—the foreign race had been eyeing the outside of the pass, and the overall situation in Xishen Prefecture was uncertain. He left Guancheng rashly, and the foreign race invaded again, and the war in West Shenzhou resumed. City, that is a dangerous situation where the enemy is attacked.I don't know who has no brains to think of the imperial court's stinky move to cut power at this time.Therefore, Jin Shoujiang will continue to complain about his illness in Guancheng, and Jing Lan will continue to consolidate the city defenses in Xishen Prefecture, train soldiers, and suppress bandits. The three state capitals occupied by the Wei family were brought back.

Everything was proceeding as Jin Shoujiang and Jing Lan thought. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden news from the Wei family in the northwest - Wei Jianxuan Huangquan, the second son of the Wei family, had returned and killed the master of Shura court in public. The mistress Liu Su and the young patriarch Wei Lei are under house arrest by Wei Ying.His martial arts are too high, many masters of the Wei family were defeated by him one after another, the mistress Liu Su had no choice but to admit his identity as the second son of the Wei family.Later, Wei Jianxuan forced Liu Su to give up the position of Patriarch of the youngest son Wei Lei, and took control of the power of the Wei family.

The bloody storm in Linyuan City came to an end, Liu Su and Wei Lei were once again placed under house arrest in the General's Mansion, Wei Jianxuan was a blockbuster, and the world was shocked. Unexpectedly, the Wei family actually hid a second son.

The Wei family started the mountain with martial arts, and those who respect martial arts most.At the beginning, Liu Su was a woman, relying on the child in her womb to show off her might, and many generals in the army were secretly dissatisfied. Although Wei Jianxuan almost fell from the sky, the Wei family had a special way to recognize relatives. After identifying his identity and confirming his identity as the second son, the generals in the army were all happy.

From now on, you don't have to listen to women's orders, and you don't have to worry about Xishan Liu's taking the opportunity to eat Wei's. The more the generals in the army look at Wei Jianxuan, the more pleasing they are.Before he knew it, he was already the heart of a hundred generals.

When this news spread to Xiyang City, everyone didn't know whether to be happy or worried.

Wei Jianxuan finally returned to his original home, and finally became the most authentic him.

Aunt Hong never mentioned the child she raised with her own hands, but she felt overwhelmed with discomfort and anxiety.The last time she said those harsh words to him, in case he holds grudges, Wei Shi and Jing Shi may have a battle in the end.At that time, what should she do?Yunji left without saying goodbye, and Aunt Hong didn't ask in the end, how should she save Wei Jianxuan with her own life?Aunt Hong thought, Ah Tan should be healed, otherwise how could he become the Patriarch of the Wei family in such a majestic manner?

Aunt Hong didn't mention it, and no one dared to mention it, so everyone chose to remain silent.

The days seem to be calm, but in fact, everyone has their own thoughts.

Although Liu Xi didn't get along with Wei Jianxuan for long, she knew that once Wei Jianxuan had a dark heart, he would be no less vicious than his elder brother Wei Jianbai.He clearly has mastered the power of the Wei family, but he has not taken the next step. Liu Xi hoped that Wei Jianxuan was just thinking about the kindness of the Dongjing family for nurturing him for 20 years, but Liu Xi himself could not convince himself of this reason. The more she deduced in her mind, the more she worried about what might happen to her.

"Ugh."

Liu Xi squeezed the bun only halfway, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Sister, sister?" Sensing Liu Xi's abnormality, Shen Jiangli tilted his head and asked, "What is it?"

Liu Xi put down the steamed stuffed bun in her hand, looked at her with a smile, "It's okay, let's continue making it."

Where did Shen Jiangli agree to her, "No, sure!"

Liu Xi smiled slightly, "My sister is becoming more and more domineering."

"The two of you who were injured didn't take a good rest in the room early in the morning, so I knew you were in the kitchen!" Jing Lan walked in wearing official uniforms, looked at Liu Xi and then at Shen Jiangli distressedly, "Let's leave it all to you." I'll come, go back and raise him obediently."

"No, yes." Shen Jiangli hurriedly hugged the steamer in his arms, and said earnestly, "It's hard to eat." Yes, Shen Jiangli is disgusting Jing Lan. The buns she made are not delicious at all. Today, my sister personally After wrapping this steamer, she must take good care of it.

Jing Lan raised her eyebrows, "Sister Shen, I will feel sad if you say that."

"Sister, sister." Shen Jiangli looked at Liu Xi coquettishly, his eyes were watery, full of anticipation.

Liu Xi couldn't help laughing, "Sister, don't worry, my sister won't let her wrap it today. It's true that the wrap is not good. It will break after steaming, and the umami taste will be gone."

Shen Jiangli proudly raised his head, "Listen, talk!"

"You can't treat one more favorably than another..." Jing Lan murmured, and approached Liu Xi, but Shen Jiangli pulled Liu Xi back.

Shen Jiangli clasped Liu Xi's hand tightly, "I, my."

Jing Lan smiled wryly, looked at Liu Xi with grievances, and whispered, "Xi'er..."

Liu Xi pretended to be serious and asked: "In the early morning, the governor should go to the government affairs, what is he doing in the kitchen? Others looked at it, and I'm afraid they are thinking about it."

Mentioning this matter, Jing Lan became even more bitter, "The third brother and sister Jin in the front hall are dealing with military affairs, and I stand there, always feel... a little redundant..." Jing Lan rolled up the sleeves of the official uniform, " You teach me again, maybe I can learn this time."

Liu Xi smiled knowingly, turned to look at Shen Jiangli, "Sister, is it okay?"

Shen Jiangli twitched his lips, "No, eat."

Liu Xi interjected: "Okay, I will eat what Ah Lan cooks, and the girl I cook will eat, okay?"

Shen Jiangli nodded happily, "Three, cage!" He gestured three fingers to Liu Xi.

Liu Xi suppressed a smile, "Okay! Three cages." After finishing speaking, she gave Jing Lan a wink, "Come here, look carefully, this bun should be squeezed like this so it won't break..."

Jing Lan leaned over and watched carefully how Liu Xi squeezed the steamed bun skin.

Seeing that she was really serious, Liu Xi suddenly felt bad, and intentionally pinched it extremely slowly, the shape of the bun seemed to become more familiar the more she pinched it.

Suddenly, Jing Lan's ears burned, and she said anxiously: "This bun belongs to me!" After finishing speaking, she quickly snatched it from Liu Xi's hand, and glared at Liu Xi with embarrassment and annoyance, "Don't pinch this bun again in the future." Kind of buns!"

Liu Xi laughed loudly, "The governor is so domineering."

"Ba, Dao!" Shen Jiangli was always the one who helped Liu Xi.

Jing Lan couldn't explain in detail for a while, and her cheeks were hot with shame, "If you continue to mess around, believe it or not, I will tie you to the bed with a rope and let you rest well!"

Shen Jiangli wrinkled his nose when he heard this, "You, dare?"

Liu Xi comforted Shen Jiangli with a gentle voice, and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, sister, Ah Lan can't beat me."

"Why don't you try?!" Jing Lan was not convinced.

"Tsk tsk, come on, I haven't practiced my sword for quite a while." She patted the powder on her palm, "Go, go out and practice!"

How could Jing Lan be willing to fight her for real, "Really... want to practice?"

Liu Xi nodded, "Otherwise?"

Jing Lan frowned, but before she could answer, Uncle Jing Jiu's voice sounded outside the kitchen.

"Captain, someone from the imperial court has arrived."

Liu Xi faintly felt uneasy.

Jing Lan asked seriously, "Uncle Jiu, do you know what's going on?"

Uncle Jing Jiu shook his head, "I don't know."

Jing Lan put down the steamed stuffed bun in her hand, and looked at Liu Xi, "You and Sister Shen should go back to rest earlier, and heal your injuries first, and I'll take the order."

Uncle Jing Jiu said anxiously: "The imperial envoy said, please accept the order with General Liu."

The more Liu Xi thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was strange, what kind of moth would the well-behaved imperial court do?

"Sister, you are here..."

"Follow, follow!"

How could Shen Jiangli care about the steamed buns now? She put down the cage, and wrapped her arms tightly around Liu Xi's, not daring to leave even a single step.

Liu Xi smiled softly, "Okay, that girl will go with me."

Shen Jiangli nodded and smiled.

Afterwards, the three of them followed Uncle Jing Jiu to the main hall, where Jing Yuan and Jin Lingdang had been waiting for a while.

Jing Lan wiped her hands, and led the crowd to kneel respectfully in front of the eunuch Xuanzhi, listening to the imperial decree.

Liu Xi took the opportunity to glance at the empty courtyard outside the main hall, where there were many gift boxes wrapped in red silk, she quickly thought of a possibility.

Could it be that Jing Lan quietly wrote a letter to the imperial court to give her a marriage, and wanted to give her a surprise today?Although this girl acted in a hurry, but for Liu Xi, if she could be her wife in an open and aboveboard manner, it would be considered a fulfillment of her life's great wish.She suddenly ignited strong expectations, only felt her ears burn, and said secretly in her heart: "Little thief will also surprise people by surprise."

The eunuch Xuanzhi cleared his throat, unfolded the imperial edict respectfully, and read aloud in that shrill voice: "By God, the emperor ordered: General Liu Xi of Pingdong, respectful, sensitive, outstanding in virtue..."

Such an opening chapter is either a marriage edict, or an edict to confer upon the princess or the county lord.

Liu Xi was inexplicably nervous, bit her lower lip slightly to calm herself down.

"Wei Jianxuan, the great general of the Wei family, is brave and handsome..." When the Xuanzhi eunuch read this sentence, everyone was shocked.

Liu Xi blurted out: "Grandpa!"

The Xuanzhi eunuch reminded displeasedly: "Interrupting Xuanzhi is a felony."

"Why did Your Majesty issue such an edict?" Liu Xi asked in a solemn voice, his eyes were like knives.

Jing Lan had already stood up, her face was ashen, and her tone was as cold as ice, "Liu Xi is the vice-general of this governor! Her marriage..."

Jing Yuan tugged on her sleeve in a hurry, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Wu, calm down first."

The eunuch Xuanzhi didn't expect Jing's reaction to be like this, he was a little flustered, "This... this is what General Wei wrote to His Majesty, he said that the world has been in war for a long time, why don't you turn the war into jade..."

Liu Xi sneered, she had deduced countless possibilities, but she never thought that Wei Jianxuan would take such a move, "Your Majesty actually believed it."

The Xuanzhi eunuch persuaded in embarrassment: "Our family is a Xuanzhi, so please don't embarrass our family."

Liu Xi stood up slowly, and the eunuch Xuanzhi was even more frightened.

"General, you are... resisting the decree!"

The author has something to say: Wei Jianxuan really started to do things.
