Chapter 210: jump down
Jiang Xuening was really puzzled for a while, seeing Lu Xian walking away in a strange way, she couldn't help but thought about it, turned her head to look at You Fangyin, and suddenly asked: "What happened on the way?"
You Fangyin shook her head.
Jiang Xuening sized her up: "Then why did you come on the same road?"
You Fangyin looked at her, his eyes flickered for a moment, and then he lowered his eyes slightly and said: "When I first entered the Shanxi border, everything was in chaos. Even with money in hand, it is very difficult to raise food and grass, and the progress is far slower than expected. Boss Lu was going to open the way first, but he turned back halfway to help coordinate. I heard that he was a Jinshi and entered the Imperial Academy Now some of the officials in Shanxi Province are his old acquaintances, and he can help out a little because of his face. That's why we came together."
This is true.
If Lu Zhaoyin's contribution is not great, or his usefulness is not wide, Xie Ju'an can't look up to him, and it is impossible for him to sit in the position of Minister of the Household Department directly after the success of the previous life.
There are so many people outside the city that it is difficult to speak.
Jiang Xuening didn't ask any further, seeing that You Fangyin had come safely, she was relieved a lot.
The preparations for the war became more and more intense.
She asked herself that she didn't have any strategy skills, it was just that she had accumulated a lot of capital in the past two years, but before she came to Xinzhou, almost all of it was handed over to Xie Wei, and now the smart people in this city are grabbing a lot, she feels I can't help too much, it's best not to make trouble.
So I watched them busy for a while, and then went back.
On the contrary, Xie Wei stayed outside the city for a longer time, and waited until Yan Lin came from the garrison station to arrange a follow-up matter for the food and fodder, and let Lu Xian's people take over the army's accounts, and then returned to the General's Mansion.
In the evening, a simple dust-cleaning banquet was held.
During the dinner, Lu Xian looked at the situation here coldly, drank several cups, and came out of the hall with Xie Wei after the end, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighed: "For a smart person, there really is no useless idle writing. It was originally a bad move, but it can also be turned into a series of ruthless tricks by you. After all, I, Lu, have shallow eyesight, and I still think you are so lustful and insane that you can't be saved. Returning to the disease, he did not miss the overall situation."
Xie Wei said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Lu Xian snorted without explaining.
He spoke vaguely, but he didn't believe that Xie Wei couldn't understand.
It was a bad move for the Eldest Princess of Leyang, Shen Zhiyi, who came all the way here to save Laoshizi, and there was hardly any benefit.
Lu Xian has no doubts—
If there was no such person as Jiang Xuening in the world, Xie Wei would not have made such a foolish decision.
However, there is.
Just choosing this path does not mean that he gave up his original plan.
Who says you can't have it both ways?
From Jinling to Xinzhou, Xie Juan did three things: first, spread the top secret news that Shen Zhiyi was trapped in the Tatars everywhere, which aroused criticism from the people, and even the soldiers in the army knew it clearly; When Yan Lin was dispatched to the border, Yan Lin won the military power with a false imperial decree; It also stabilized the morale of the army and accelerated the plan to attack Tatar.
If things come to pass in the end, once Xie Juan wins the hearts of the people, the court will fall into an unjust place; the second general will firmly hold the military power in his hands, and Yan Lin will force the whole army to attack the Tatars. The great crime of rebellion by the king, when the head is stretched out and the head is retracted, everyone will be tied to the same boat, and it is very likely that they will simply go out and follow them; if there is a war at the border, the Central Plains Tianjiao will definitely take the opportunity When the rebellion rises, the imperial court will be troubled by internal and external troubles, and it will be difficult not to collapse!
"When the snipe and the clam are fighting, you fisherman sit firmly at the frontier and get a good name and fortune. When they are exhausted, they will send troops to the Central Plains and break through the capital, and the overall situation will be settled. It's just..."
Lu Xian couldn't help looking at him.
"There is nothing wrong with planning such a big event; but it just doesn't please the girl's family."
Xie Wei listened but didn't speak.
Lu Xian thinks about it and he still hasn't figured it out yet, maybe Xie Ju'an knows better than himself, what he said may not be an insult to others, he simply closed his mouth, and said goodbye when he got to the sidewalk in front of the courtyard .
The General's Mansion occupies quite a large area.
The place where he lived was still on the west side, so he walked along the corridor all the way.
It's just that when he got to the front of the courtyard, he heard the sound of small conversations.
"The border is not peaceful. I think you should not stay here for too long. No matter how the war starts, you will never be able to go to Jiangnan. You just listen to me and go back to Jiangnan or Sichuan after you have finished your work honestly." , the affairs here are always related to Lu Zhaoyin, he is Xie Wei's man, he should work hard and work hard, so don't get meddled."
"What about the girl?"
"Me? After I rescue His Highness from Tartar, I will naturally get oily on the soles of my feet, too lazy to get involved in their mess."
This is the voice of Jiang Xuening and You Fangyin.
When Lu Xian heard that he mentioned himself, he felt very unhappy. He should have been in the dark and waited for the two of them to finish talking before going out, so as not to embarrass everyone. But an inexplicable gust of anger rushed up, but he just didn't want to.
So I took two steps forward.
Jiang Xuening's back was facing him, but You Fangyin was facing him, seeing him at a glance.
Lu Xian said: "Miss Ning Er is so right, it's time for me to work hard and work hard."
Only then did Jiang Xuening see him.
But thinking about what I said, there is nothing shameful about being caught, but seeing Lu Xian reminded her of some things during the day, so she ignored him and said to You Fang: "Go back to the house first. , I have something to say to Boss Lu."
You Fangyin looked at Lu Xian, seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still listened to Jiang Xuening's words, nodded, turned and left.
Jiang Xuening was left on the spot, looking at Lu Xian.
Lu Xian looked away from You Fangyin's leaving back, but smiled at Jiang Xuening: "What advice does the second girl have?"
"I dare not take advice."
Jiang Xuening also smiled, and at the same time walked around him two and a half circles with great interest, shaking her head while watching, a little bit of schadenfreude and a bit of schadenfreude.
"Since ancient times, profiteers have made good plans. Why does Boss Lu look like this, as if he broke his army without earning his wife?"
Lu Xian's complexion changed.
Jiang Xuening paced back and forth with her hands behind her back, and the more she thought about Lu Xian's reaction, the more interesting she found it. After a while, she stopped, approached him, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "For a long time, are you interested in our Fangyin?"
Lu Xian sneered coldly: "Are you kidding me!"
Jiang Xuening raised her eyebrows.
Lu Xian added coldly: "Woman with a husband! Mr. Lu hasn't done that yet."
As soon as he said this, Jiang Xuening's originally relaxed expression disappeared, and there was a quiet and transparent light hidden under the eyelids, and she said: "So you also know. It is not easy for Fang Yin and Mr. Ren to come all the way. If you want to be nice to others, I think a shrewd person like Boss Lu will naturally know what to do, so don't get in."
Lu Xian scoffed, "Does that count as fake couples?"
Now it was Jiang Xuening's turn to be surprised, he actually knew?
Lu Xian was too lazy to explain.
He walked away.
Jiang Xue was silent for a while, staring at him, but suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and laughed: "Hey, you are so hostile to me during the day, could it be because Fang Yin cares more about me, are you jealous?"
When she saw Lu Xian stop, her whole figure seemed to tense up because of her words.
However, he could endure it and did not turn around.
As if he really wanted to prove that he didn't care, he went straight to the courtyard without turning his head.
Jiang Xuening was behind her, clapping her hands and smiling, almost bent over laughing.
In the last life, there were many people who were jealous of her, but she didn't care.
After all, those are women.
But in this life, even men are jealous of her, it's so fun!
However, Fang Yin has a sincere heart, and she recognizes that people are stubborn. Although she doesn't know where she and Ren Weizhi will go, if there is a black-hearted person like Lu Xian who secretly makes bad things, good things can turn into bad things.
You have to guard against him in the future.
It doesn't mean that Fang Yin has to be Ren Zhizhi, it all depends on her happiness, Jiang Xuening just doesn't want her to be unhappy.
For a moment, she even wanted to go to Xie Wei's side and give Lu Xian some eye drops.
But this idea was only given up in a flash.
Xie Ju'an is a person who wants to achieve great things, but she only wants to live a simple life. Now she is listening to the words with hypocrisy, not annoying him, and following his wishes. In the final analysis, it is for Shen Zhiyi's sake, and she doesn't want to tear herself apart with him. But right now it's almost the limit of the boundary, if she doesn't know how to advance and retreat, if she pushes down the boundary, it's tantamount to trapping herself. When the time comes, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape from Xie Wei's hands.
In any case, Jiang Xuening was quite happy to be jealous of a man.
It's just that when I lie down at night, I have a nightmare.
This nightmare lasted for several nights.
She dreamed that she was standing on a high cliff, the mountain wall was steep and almost straight, and even the old pines and old trees could not take root on the rock wall.
Ahead is the abyss.
Just looking forward, there is a blackness like thick ink.
Under the abyss, there is a strong wind, which seems to come from a ghost, and howls endlessly.
She wanted to look inside, but she couldn't stand still. A few pieces of gravel fell from the cliff at her feet, and fell into the abyss for a long time, but she didn't hear the slightest echo.
Then a fear seized her.
As if she was afraid that some monster would emerge from the abyss and swallow her up, she took a step and wanted to back away, wanting to stay away from the abyss.
However, one hand stretched out from behind and pressed it on her shoulder, and the other hand was placed on her waist.
The man's breath poured into her ear and pressed against her cheek.
It was Xie Wei who cut off her retreat, and whispered in her ear: "It's so deep, if you don't jump, how will you know whether it's life or death?"
No-
That force came out from his hands, unexpectedly pushing her into the abyss in front of her!
She screamed instantly.
The abyss rushed towards her face, she was enveloped by the sense of weightlessness, and all her fears were magnified to the limit, causing her to break out in cold sweat, and she woke up again from this repeated dream.
What echoed in my ears was not the words in the dream, but Xie Wei's sarcasm not long ago: "If you can figure out why you and him can't be together, you won't be called Jiang Xuening. won't sit here anymore."
Jiang Xuening seemed to be fished out of the water.
She covered her face a little helplessly.
After a long while, I slowly expelled the fear from the bottom of my heart.
The darkness is like a thread, soaking into the room, with a little chill.
The gauze curtain beside the bed was blown open by the wind.
A little light came in through the window paper, vaguely reflecting the figure sitting beside her bed.
His quiet voice seemed to merge with the darkness, ethereal like fog: "Did you dream of me?"
Jiang Xuening was startled!
Hearing this familiar voice, she lowered her palms and carefully discerned the figure with her eyes. Then she saw this figure from the darkness. For a moment, she felt that her heart was being grabbed, and she was too terrified to speak.
Xie Wei didn't know when he came, he just stared at her and asked, "Did you dream of me?"
There is still a lingering fear from the nightmare just now.
Jiang Xuening couldn't believe that this man was sitting beside her bed in the middle of the night: "Xie Ju'an, why-"
Xie Wei's palm gently stroked her cheek, resting on the tip of her eyebrows, and said: "Ning Er, Shen Zhiyi is a member of the royal family, so what does it have to do with me? I regret it a little. "
That finger was a little cool.
Jiang Xuening shivered suddenly.
But he didn't say anything more. After a long time, he slowly withdrew his hand, got up and walked out.
The wind blew in, and the gauze swayed slightly.
The cold moon outside is like silver frost.
A deep and magnificent horn was passed from a distance, spreading all over the field, adding a touch of the chilling clang of gold and iron horses to this silent cold night!
Jiang Xuening embraced the brocade quilt, and only then remembered—
Tonight, war begins.
