The most unlucky crossing in history

Because of rushing back to Jingzhao from the northwest, the long-distance trek for more than [-] days was still a toss.The day before yesterday, the emperor granted a few days of holidays, and Xie Wenyuan, the country's prime minister, was able to rest and relax.

When they returned to the prime minister's mansion from the palace gate, it was only Maoshi, the two of them who hadn't slept all night changed at will and went back to the house to rest.

In September, the autumn wind in Jingzhao is gradually rising, which is not as boring as summer. The weather in September is when Jingzhao is refreshing.Neither cold nor hot, the autumn wind is pleasant.

After several months of turbulent battles, there was no single day of peace, and it was not until today when I lay on this big pear wood bed that I truly returned home, peaceful and stable.

The autumn wind gently caressed them, and they were covered with a light and warm silk quilt, and it was rare for them to fall asleep while hugging each other.It was already past noon when I opened my eyes again, and the sun had gradually set to the west.

"When are we going to the General's Mansion?"

"Xu Shi."

Neither of them got up, they just cuddled together and talked.

"Then there are still three hours..." Zhong Qiyun suddenly laughed when he said this: "Qianyuan, if General Xie sees you and me going together, will you not allow me to step in?" General's Mansion?"

Glancing at Zhong Qiyun, Xie Wenyuan raised the corners of his lips slightly, "I don't know."

Zhong Qiyun pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "I think the old general sent you a special letter today to invite you back to the general's mansion. He must have something to tell you. If that's the case, why don't you go to the general's mansion first."

"What/? It sounds like you don't want to go?"

"No, no, of course I'm going, but you're half an hour late, I have to prepare some things first."

"Oh?" Xie Wenyuan raised his brows slightly, and looked carefully at Zhong Qiyun's smiling face, knowing that Zhong Qiyun had plans in mind, so he didn't ask any more questions, just said: "In that case, I'll go there earlier."

Ben was lying face to face, Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan's slightly raised eyebrows, his eyebrows were clear, and there was a little smile in his dark eyes, he really couldn't bear it, so he leaned closer and kissed Xie Wenyuan's eyebrows, " Ask Yuan..."

"how?"

Zhong Qiyun moved closer, wrapped his arms around Xie Wenyuan's waist and brought him into his arms. He pursed his lips and said softly, "Should we not stay overnight in the General's Mansion today?"

"Of course not."

"Then...can you go home a little earlier?"

At a very close distance, Zhong Qiyun's hoarse voice just fell on his ears, thank you for asking

Yuan's eyes trembled, and he understood Zhong Qiyun's meaning in an instant.

"..."

"Ask Yuan?"

Xie Wenyuan turned his head slightly, and said after a while: "You can get up now, I haven't eaten anything before, but I'm a little hungry now."

It's just that if he said that in the past, Zhong Qiyun would immediately let go and rush to get food, but today Zhong Qiyun still hugged him tightly, and never let go.

Keeping his eyes on Xie Wenyuan, he naturally saw Xie Wenyuan's uneasiness. This calm appearance, which was different from the past, really made Zhong Qiyun fall in love with him to the extreme.

The heart beat faster, Zhong Qiyun looked at Xie Wenyuan almost greedily, and said hoarsely: "I'm hungry too..."

After the words fell, Xie Wenyuan paused, then turned to look at Zhong Qiyun with a smile, and said, "That's it, it's more important to get up."

"This... I can't get enough to eat here, I want you..." But before Zhong Qiyun finished speaking, Xie Wenyuan covered his mouth.

Xie Wenyuan understood in his heart that if he continued like this, Zhong Qiyun might not want to let go right now...

Shaking his head helplessly, "I think you are..."

With the palm attached to the back of Xie Wenyuan's hand, Zhong Qiyun said happily, "Okay."

Because it was neither too early nor too late, the two ate some food casually, but before the meal was finished, the officials outside the mansion who came to visit Xie Wenyuan and wish Prime Minister Xie great achievements almost blocked the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion .

"These people don't know that you didn't sleep last night, don't you know that you need to recuperate after months of trekking on the battlefield? Isn't it annoying to come in such a crowd?"

During the meal, Zhong Qiyun clicked his tongue when he heard the visitors mentioned by Steward Cao: "There must be more than [-] people here? If you see them all, when will you get them?"

"Of course we won't see everyone." Xie Wenyuan said, "Some people can't see them right now because of their special status, such as the eldest son of Marquis of Yanbei, and some people, such as the governor of Jingzhao Prefecture, can indeed be seen."

"So, there are still some things that need to be seen?"

"Naturally, although I don't have to worry about anything else now, there are some advantages and disadvantages that need to be weighed after all in this officialdom."

Zhong Qiyun nodded, even in business, let alone an official.

"I happen to have something to do at Chengfeng Station, so I need to leave for a while. If I come back late, I will go straight to the General's Mansion."

Xie Wenyuan nodded, Zhong Qiyun went to the northwest more often

Although He Minqing, Liu Wangcai, Yang Xiangdong and others are supporting him, his huge Zhong family property has accumulated a lot of things that need to be taken care of by his boss.

So after eating, Zhong Qiyun left the prime minister's mansion, Xie Wenyuan went to the main hall of the mansion, met with Yu Lianqiao, Ji Xingyan, Feng Ping and others, and talked about some important affairs in the country in detail.

After the matter was finished and discussed, it was already the time of the year, and after sending the few people out of the mansion, Steward Cao handed over a letter from the servant in Chengfeng Station.

Zhong Qiyun stated in the letter that some matters have not been settled, and we will not return home.

After Xie Wenyuan read the letter, he said to Steward Cao: "It's getting late, please ask Steward Cao to send a letter to the General's Mansion, and let the young man prepare a car and horse to go to the General's Mansion."

"Yes."

When Xie Wenyuan rushed to the General's Mansion, and just stepped into the door, Xie Wenzhuo, Jiang Hupin, and Zhang Hong, who were all dressed up, rushed over.

Seeing the ruddy complexions of the three people and the sweaty hair tips, Xie Wenyuan smiled slightly: "The injury is only healed, and you have already practiced? I am not afraid of leaving some roots of the disease."

Xie Wenzhuo scratched his hair embarrassingly when he heard this, and said, "It's been too long, I can't sit still, besides, if I don't practice my legs and feet, I won't be able to move."

"My lord, take this opportunity, why don't you show us a few tricks, and fight me three times?" On the battlefield, Jiang Hupin had seen Xie Wenyuan's martial arts with his own eyes several times, and he had long since sparred with him. It's just that it's not easy to mention it on the battlefield. He heard that Prime Minister Xie was coming to the General's Mansion today, but he bit the bullet and guarded until now.

"That's right, I haven't competed with adults for many years." I was promoted to General Sipinwei yesterday, and now I am under the Xie family's command.

Xie Wenzhuo at the side heard this, and was also very interested and eager to try, "In this case, why don't we go to the training ground immediately..."

"It's already nineteen years old, why is it still so reckless?"

Xie Wenzhuo just said that, Madam He came out not far away to stop him, Xie Wenyuan looked sideways, and saw Madam He walking towards this place, looked at Xie Wenzhuo and said angrily: "You Elder brother has just entered the mansion, instead of pouring tea and water for him, you want to lead him to the teaching ground instead?"

"Ah... this..." After being said by his mother, Xie Wenzhuo realized that Xie Wenyuan hadn't had a good rest yet, and he turned his head to look at Xie Wen at a loss Yuan, said: "Brother...I...I'm really sorry..."

Xie Wenyuan knocked him like this, and tapped his forehead with his fingers, "It's nothing."

After finishing speaking, seeing Mrs. He approaching again, Xie Wenyuan turned around and bowed to her, "Aunt He".

Seeing this, Mrs. He hurriedly asked Xie Yuan to bless her body, "Hey, Cheng... Ying Shu is back?"

With a slight smile on Xie Wenyuan's face, he responded, "Yes."

Seeing his gentle expression, Madam He softened her heart a lot, she said softly: "Don't listen to Wen Zhuo's lies, I knew you were coming today, I had ordered a lot of good food and wine to be prepared earlier, and after a while It will be on the table in a moment, let Wen Zhuo talk with you right now, and we will have a good meal together later."

"Please trouble Aunt He."

"Wherever it is, I will do all of these."

"Since it's time for dinner, let Wen Zhuo, General Jiang, and Zhang Hong change some clothes, and don't worry about me." Xie Wenyuan said this, paused, and then asked: "Father, what's the matter now?" In the bedroom?"

Mrs. He nodded: "Yes."

"Then I'll go and have a look first."

"That's right, I've forgotten about it, your father must have something to say to you, just go and have a look."

"it is good."

Since Xie Cheng's lower limbs became paralyzed and he couldn't stand upright, his bedroom was changed from the original one to the quiet Cangqing Pavilion in the inner courtyard for his recuperation.Xie Wenyuan, who was very familiar with the General's Mansion, found the place by himself without having to be guided.

The door of Xie Cheng's house was wide open, and Xie Sheng, an attendant who was guarding outside, saw Xie Wenyuan approaching, and quickly bowed and said, "Prime Minister!"

Xie Wenyuan nodded slightly, "Is the general in the room?"

"Yes, I'm drinking soup."

When Xie Sheng said this, Xie Cheng's voice came from inside, "But the prime minister is here?"

"Yes." Xie Wenyuan replied, then lifted his foot over the threshold and stepped into the house.

Turning around the screen, I saw Xie Cheng sitting on the reclining chair. After drinking a bowl of soup and medicine, he handed the medicine bowl to the attendant at the side.

When Xie Cheng saw Xie Wenyuan approaching, it was a rare thing that he didn't make a sound like he did in the past to reprimand him. Instead, he quietly looked at Xie Wenyuan for a long time, and then said: "Is the injury healed?"

"It's all set."

Xie Cheng nodded: "I heard from Wen Zhuo that you used [-] troops to attack more than [-] Uyghur troops in the Yahe mountain border of the Uyghur? You even fought against Ye Hezhe alone?" These details are difficult to know unless they are told by those who have experienced them.

"Yes."

Seeing that he admitted, Xie Cheng said, "It's a rash move."

Xie Wenyuan suddenly laughed when he heard it, and when he looked at Xie Cheng again, he said, "But the effect is very good."

Seeing the arrogance flashing in Xie Wenyuan's eyes, Xie Cheng felt a slight pain in his heart, how much he knew that Xie Wenyuan was extremely good at fighting, how painful it is for him now, and even more so when he realized that Xie Wenyuan desperately entered the Uighur situation, forcing him to When the Uyghurs couldn't retreat for what reason, the pain became more and more serious.

"I always disbelieve you like that, do you hate me?"

"I understand what the general is worried about. Why do I hate to say it? If I say it, I haven't said 'thank you' to the general." Xie Wenyuan bowed his head and said: "When I left Jingzhao for the northwest, the general You said something: 'Don't forget that you are the son of Xie's parents'."

After hearing this, Xie Cheng closed his reddish eyes.

Don't forget that you are the eldest son of Xie Cheng. When Xie Cheng said this sentence at that time, one is not to forget the loyalty and bravery of Xie's family for generations, and the other is...don't forget that Taizu gave the Xie family back then. The inherited military power is inherited by the eldest son, and he, Xie Wenyuan, will always be the one who can justifiably get the military power from the Xie family.

It's not that Xie Wenyuan doesn't know the meaning and weight of Xie Cheng's words.

Speaking of this, the father and son stopped talking, and when the autumn wind came through the hall, Huang Xiaohua, the old housekeeper of the general's mansion, rushed to this place in a hurry.

Huang Xiaohua walked up to Xie Cheng with a bow, and said in a panic, "General, that Zhong Qiyun from the Zhong family said that he came to pay a visit..."

Xie Cheng and him were the first people in the family to know about Xie Wenyuan and the boss of the Zhong family. When Xie Cheng asked him to investigate, he already knew about it.

Hearing this, Xie Cheng frowned. He looked at Xie Wenyuan, and seeing this son's calm demeanor, he knew that Xie Wenyuan knew that Zhong Qiyun would come.

For this Zhong Qiyun, it is undeniable that Xie Cheng does not like it. If he had just heard about it, he would never allow this person to step into the house.

but.

When the army in the Northwest was trapped on the Uighur border, when the emperor ordered the world not to be rescued, when he begged the emperor to send more Xie family elite soldiers to break through the siege but was rejected from the palace gate, when he thought his eldest son was doomed and regretted... ...

This Zhong Qiyun actually violated the holy will and ran towards the northwest like crazy, no one could stop him.

It should be said that Xie Cheng had never thought of that, and when Zhong Qiyun did this only for his eldest son, he felt complicated and tense.

seems to send

Zuo said something, but he didn't want to say anything more. Thinking that Zhong Qiyun just came to pay a visit, he said a little annoyed to Butler Huang: "Since it is an open and honest visit, my general's mansion can't do things that keep people out of the door. Please enter the mansion. yes."

But after Xie Cheng finished speaking, Butler Huang didn't leave, instead he looked hesitant: "Here, General...but Boss Zhong brought some gifts for meeting..."

Xie Cheng frowned: "It's just a meeting ceremony, what can't be done?"

Butler Huang smiled wryly, and carefully glanced at Xie Wenyuan, "Here... general, Boss Zhong sent nearly twenty boxes of things... How about you go and have a look yourself, this Is the gift acceptable or not?"
