Zhi Xuan

The Marquis of Xiyuan came back from hunting and led his army back to the western capital.

The armored soldiers galloped to convey the news, announcing to the people of the country that during this hunt, the armies of the two countries joined forces to fight against Hu, and wiped out more than ten branches of the Dirong tribe, and obtained tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses, and thousands of prisoners.

"Gong Zixuan and Gong Zi Hao did not lose the wind, and killed most of the chiefs in the first battle!"

It is not uncommon for the Central Plains army to conquer the north. It is not uncommon to win, but it is rare to lose.

When the people of the country heard about the results of the army's battle, they were not moved by much joy, and most of them took it for granted.On the contrary, it was the rumor of Young Master Xuan that surprised everyone.

Tongzi Hao Zhili was not swept off the chariot, but evenly matched?

Can kill a big tribe leader for the first time on the battlefield?

It is said that there was a strange phenomenon on the way back, and a giant fish took the initiative to deliver it to the door, which was a good omen?

As the soldiers reporting the letter galloped into the city, relevant news quickly spread in the city.People in the country talked a lot, and couldn't believe that the rumors were really the son Xuan.

Isn't this son-in-law ignorant, capable of martial arts if he can't write well, and his body is still very weak?

So brave?

Are the rumors true?

In any case, the soldier would not lie about this matter, would he?

As the news spread further, the city seemed to explode.The hearts of the Chinese people are full of doubts, but they can't help being excited.

Most people hope the rumors are true.

The prestige of Young Master Hao has spread throughout the kingdoms, if Young Master Xuan Zhen can stand shoulder to shoulder with him, how proud will he be as a native of Xiyuan Country?

In this mood, almost everyone in the city is looking forward to the return of the army as soon as possible, so as to confirm the truth of the rumors, and to see Gong Zixuan's demeanor again.

Su Hu got a report from a soldier and knew more about the matter.Zhixuan has made great contributions and his position is stable, how can he not feel at ease?

In a good mood, when he saw Mi Ji with a slumped face, he didn't even make trouble. Instead, he smiled all over his face for the first time, making the other party even more depressed.

If Su Hu can get the news, Mi Ji can naturally too.

It was just a meeting, and Zhi Xuan's image in the hearts of Chinese people changed drastically.For the young masters Kang and Mi, this is by no means good news.

Helpless, the matter has spread in the city, and it cannot be suppressed.

It is expected that the result will be unfavorable to Mitchell, but there is no solution, how can he not be angry.

Unlike Su Hu's face full of spring breeze, and Mi Ji's face sinking like water, Luan Hui is still calm and stable.

His attitude towards Zhi Xuan was quite similar to that of Fan Xu before, neither close nor disgusted.

There is a daughter of the Luan family in the Monarch's Mansion, but it is a pity that she is not favored like the Fan family.The only thing better than Fan's daughter is the birth of two daughters.It's just that he is less than ten years old, so he doesn't show up among all the girls.

Luan Hui and Yang Hao have a friendship, but are not at peace with the Mi family, mainly because of the interests of the court and the family.Not supporting Gongzi Kang does not mean supporting Gongzi Xuan.Being irreversible with Yang Hao doesn't mean that he will bring Luan's family to support Young Master Ming.

Just as Fan Xu considered before, regardless of whether the son Kang or the son Ming, once they gain power, the mother clan must be the first to support them.Luan Shi will be ranked behind even if he works hard.What's more, in order to dominate the court, allies may not tear themselves apart.

Similar examples are not without, so the disadvantaged clan is not an exception.

Losing in such a power struggle is not only a decline in the strength of the family, it is more likely to be uprooted and completely erased from the clan.

Luan Hui didn't know much about Gong Zixuan, and had similar thoughts with everyone else, thinking that his ignorance and incompetence would be embarrassing.In private, Luan Hui had hoped that the monarch would have a few more heirs, and perhaps there would be someone worthy of support among them.

Luan would always hide such thoughts well, without being noticed by anyone.

For this hunting meeting, the monarch made an exception and brought Gong Zixuan. Luan Hui was surprised for a short time, but he didn't take it seriously.In his thinking, Zhi Xuan was just going through the motions.What's more, compared with Mr. Bei'an, it's lucky that he doesn't make a fool of himself.

The development of the matter was unexpected, Zhi Xuan not only did not lose himself in the crowd, let alone made a fool of himself, but instead shined in the meeting.

"True or false?"

Luan would think about it seriously, but he still couldn't come up with an answer.I can only let it go temporarily, and wait for the army to return.

In the Monarch's Mansion, the wives also heard the rumors.

Young Master Kang happened to come to see Mrs. Mi.Hearing the rumors, both mother and son had ugly faces, as if they had eaten a mouthful of Coptis chinensis.

After being surprised for a short time, Mrs. Yang ordered her servant to contact Yang and pay attention to the reactions of several senior officials.Afterwards, they called their two daughters and solemnly told them that they must respect Zhi Xuan from now on, and that they should not offend Zhi Xuan if they were not close.

"If I'm not wrong, there will be a period of unrest when the king returns. You have to be cautious in your words and deeds, and look after the people around you. Do you understand what I mean?"

Yuan Tao and Yuan Ying responded in unison.

That day, when Young Master Kang returned home, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't control his temper, so he beat a servant to death with a whip.

When Mi Ji passed through the mansion, the servants had already been carried down, and the blood stains on the corridor had already been cleaned up.Except for the servant who witnessed everything, no one would know how tyrannical the young master Kang, who was acting polite at the moment, was when he brandished the whip.

"Uncle, that Zhu Zi really made meritorious service? A sick child whose mother died young, what should he do? Father didn't like him at all!" Young Master Kang still refused to believe that Zhi Xuan could make great contributions in meeting and hunting.

When Mi Ji saw Young Master Kang's appearance and heard his blurted words, he suddenly remembered Mi Wu's reminder to him, and immediately frowned.

Some words are not taken seriously at ordinary times, if they are spoken on inappropriate occasions, it will definitely cause disaster.

"Young Master, Young Master Xuan is finally a descendant, so you should be cautious in speaking in front of outsiders, let alone in front of your superior." Mi Ji said seriously.

Young Master Kang was dumbfounded.

He originally thought that Mi Ji would join the enemy and scold Zhi Xuan for flattery and shamelessness.Never thought that he would open his mouth to teach himself a lesson, the words he said were no different from secret martial arts.

Under the mixture of anger and anger, he gritted his back molars and was unable to speak for a long time.

"Young master, I am doing it for your own good."

Mi Ji thought he was trying to eliminate hidden dangers, but he didn't know that he was adding fuel to the fire.

Young Master Kang didn't have an attack today, not because he cared about his family, but because his strength is still weak and he has not ascended to a high position.If he is canonized as the son and becomes the king in the future, the relationship between uncle and nephew will be in jeopardy.

Before Zhi Xuan Ding was in front, he could hide it perfectly.Now that Zhixuan's reputation has risen, but he has not yet returned, his reputation has been rising, jealousy and hatred are mixed, he can't hide it gradually.

Not only is he irritable and irritable, he is actually brutal and bloodthirsty, and he is also narrow-minded and can't listen to others.Such a character, let alone a high position, once reached a high position, it will definitely get worse.

Three consecutive batches of soldiers entered the city, and the black army finally arrived outside the western capital.

When the soldiers at the top of the city saw the army and the flag at the front of the team, they immediately blew their horns and sent letters to the city.

Not long after, the gate of the city was opened wide, and Su Hu led all the officials out of the city to welcome the king and the returning soldiers.

In the warm wind, the black army came from the north.

The wheels roll, the flags fly.

The war horse stamped its four hooves and neighed, and the soldiers marched in line, with long halberds like a forest.

Behind the chariots and infantry are thousands of slaves and slaves, endless cattle and sheep, and Rong people tied up with ropes.

Seeing the guard of honor of the Marquis of Xiyuan, the three ministers who stayed in the city were saluting, and all the officials bowed behind the three of them, saying: "Welcome, Your Majesty!"

At the same time, the Chinese people in the city began to gather. Even if they didn't see the appearance of Xi Yuanhou and Zhi Xuan, but only saw the black long dragon, they couldn't help but shouted in unison.

Marquis Xiyuan's car stopped outside the city for a while, seeing the doctor Qing welcoming him, he immediately led the crowd into the city.

Different from the departure, this time, Xi Yuanhou specially ordered Zhi Xuan to follow behind him, in front of the officials.And asked Zhixuan to tie the bone helmet of the leader of the army with a rope and hang it on the neck of the horse pulling the cart.

The people of the country were crowded on both sides of the road. Seeing this situation, it was not clear what was going on. The news I had heard before was all true. Young Master Xuanhui won the great merit of beheading the head of the chieftain.

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"The son is mighty!"

In an instant, the applause and cheers were deafening.

The people of the country directly called Zhixuan the son, instead of the second son or the son Xuan, which invisibly elevated Zhixuan's status further, far away from the princes of the Western Yuanhou.

This is not a simple distinction between concubine and concubine, but a recognition of Zhi Xuan himself.

In the martial arts-loving Xiyuan country, the only way to get the people of the country to recognize him from the bottom of his heart is to have solid military exploits.

Zhi Xuan did it, Young Master Kang may have a chance in the future, but at this moment, Zhi Xuan has already left him far behind.In the face of Zhi Xuan's military exploits, Zhi Xuan's reputation was not worth mentioning.

The cheers of the people of the country were louder and louder, and even though Zhi Xuanli remained calm, his cheeks were still flushed.

Marquis Nishihara was smiling on the surface, as if he was happy that his son was recognized by the people of the country.Turning around, there was a glint of darkness in his eyes. Covered by his long sleeves, he slowly clenched his hands that were hard to sustain due to old injuries.

The team crossed the long street and stopped in front of the Monarch's Mansion.

According to the usual practice, tomorrow the Monarch's Mansion will hold a banquet, and all the clans in the city will be present.

Zhi Xuan got off the chariot with a very respectful attitude.The monarch allowed him to leave before boarding the car again, and there was no trace of arrogance in his words and deeds.

Leaving all eyes behind him, Zhi Xuan returned to the mansion as quickly as possible, took a comfortable soak in a hot bath, ate a hearty meal, and didn't intend to digest it, so he just lay down on the couch and fell asleep past.

Before falling asleep, Zhi Xuan vaguely felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.

what?

I can't remember it for a while, so I simply wait until I wake up.

The servant tidied up Zhixuan's clothes and accessories, and found that something was missing, so he didn't dare to hide it, so he immediately went to see the government order.The magistrate checked it himself, and found that there was missing a divine bird pendant carved from white jade, and there was an extra jade ring that he had never seen before.

The jade ring belongs to the clan, without any pattern on it, it is difficult to identify who it came from.

The sacred bird pendant is an extraordinary thing, and its significance is not trivial.

"Could it be lost on the battlefield?"

Thinking of the importance of that jade ornament, the magistrate couldn't help worrying.Just let it shatter on the battlefield, if it falls into the hands of someone with a heart, I'm afraid it will cause trouble.

In the early morning of the next day, Doctor Sang came to Zhixuan Mansion, and the medicine servants who followed him did not dare to breathe.

Yesterday Zhixuan left too hastily, Dr. Sang was left behind in the team, and if he tried to chase him again, Zhixuan's chariot had long since disappeared, and he almost thought that Zhixuan did it on purpose.Entering the mansion today, seeing the still polite government order, the misunderstanding was only resolved.

Even so, Dr. Sang's mood was not pretty, and the footsteps were a little heavier than usual.

When Zhi Xuan woke up and saw Doctor Sang holding a medicine bowl, he remembered what he had forgotten.

"Neglect, forgive me!"

He took the initiative to apologize, and Doctor Sang couldn't continue to show his face, and sent the tonic that had been boiled, and motioned Zhi Xuan to drink it while it was hot.

"The young master was poisoned before, and his body will eventually suffer. In addition, he is exhausted from the march and needs to replenish some vitality."

Zhi Xuan is not a person who shies away from medical treatment. He understood Dr. Sang's kindness, took the medicine bowl and blew on it. When he felt it was good to drink, he raised his head and gulped it down.

The entrance of the decoction did not have the expected bitterness, but a hint of sweetness.

Zhi Xuan looked at Doctor Sang in surprise, who snorted and said, "Master Zhi doesn't like bitterness, so sweet grass is added to the medicine."

Watching Doctor Sang walk out of the room, Zhi Xuan scratched his chin and couldn't help laughing.

This little old man is good at sitting on the wall, not to mention, dare to be affectionate or arrogant?
