Chapter 65: Who's Done, Don't Backtrack...

"Who does the hypocrite say? Vaguely, Xiao Mingchen's smiling voice came into his ears with burning breath. Xia Feng's mind was not clear, and he muttered casually: "You are a hypocrite." "

In the distance, the horns are blowing, the wind is hunting, and before the mid-autumn season, the bleak cold has begun to appear.

Xia Feng suddenly remembered the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, when she and Xiao Mingchen were putting lanterns on the bank of the moat in Shouzhou, and when she saw him make a wish of 'Guotai Minan', she only felt that it was out of reach.

Now, one year has passed, and Shanxi and Shanan have gradually stepped onto the right track under King Ning's arrangement, and great improvements have been made in the people's livelihood, military, and political affairs. All sides are connected from point to surface, and no one in the north can compete with Xiao Mingchen except for the Xia family.

The northwest was remote and barren, government affairs were chaotic, and successive managers were all dedicated to resisting foreign enemies, and it gradually became a mess. Xiao Mingchen has only been here for a few months, but he can peel back the cocoon and solve the chaos that has been plaguing Xia Feng from the subtleties.

He bowed to the desk these days, not just to deal with the return of salt and iron to the government. The land of the great families of the great families was re-measured and divided, the soldiers were recruited and selected, and the officials were inspected and appointed, all of which had to be painstakingly drawn up one by one.

Every time Xia Feng listened to him and Fan Pu talking, he always felt that the future of Heqing Haiyan was looming.

In the dead of night, Xiao Mingchen slept beside him, his shallow breathing sound suddenly rapid, and he sweated coldly. Xia Feng always slept lightly in the barracks, and he would wake up with a slight movement around him. Sensing that the people around her were sleeping restlessly, she moved closer, hugged Xiao Mingchen's straight back even if he fell asleep, and pillowed him in his shoulder socket.

Xiao Mingchen seemed to have a feeling, rolled over and changed his posture to hold her, and finally slept soundly.

"Commander, I have received news that Xiao Jing's Qingzhou army attacked Shouzhou many times at the beginning of the month. The two sides fought several times, each with casualties. Qian Shan was dressed in armor and stood at the head of the marshal's tent: "The starving camel is bigger than the horse, and Xiao Jing now has the Lingnan army behind him, and he does not dare to press all the troops." But if he keeps fighting, Yan Lin may not be able to take advantage.

Xia Feng didn't expect that he received the news three days later than Xiao Mingchen. She tapped her fingers on the table and pondered for a moment: "It's okay, Xiao Jing probably took a fancy to the grain in Shouzhou." After all, his hometown was robbed, and eighty percent couldn't afford to eat. Moreover, Shannan Dao is in a superior location and extends in all directions, if he can really take Shouzhou, won't it be just around the corner to chase the deer in the Central Plains?

"Even he deserves it." Qian Shan took a sip and nodded in agreement, "This Yan Lin still has some backbone, and would rather fight than compromise."

"It's not that he has a backbone, it's that Xiao Jing is really disgusting." "

When he was in Shengjing, Xiao Mingchen once knelt down to Xiao Jing because of the situation, and Xia Feng has always been worried about this, although the two of them are tied to the nominal uncle-nephew relationship, pinching his nose and treating him as a bastard elder who can't be beaten, but this fact is uncomfortable to think about.

"After all, Yan Lin has provided us with a lot of military food this year," Qian Shan asked, "Do we have to take care of it?"

"Yan Lin is King Ning's person, he can't ignore this, and he will go south in the near future." Instead of waiting for the mess over there to make a splash, let's go with him. Xia Feng thought for a while, "I just went to clean up Wang Mao's miscellaneous, and I always feel uneasy when he is alive."

"You don't want to part with Your Highness, do you? Qian Shan smiled and sighed, "After all, the newlywed Yan'er, it is the time of intense love, His Highness will leave you alone to go to Jiangnan." At that time, you can only face the empty bed, the cold tent, and listen to Xu Shi and their elders arguing. Xiao

Mingchen stood in front of the door of the shuai tent, one foot had already stepped in, not entering, not retreating, awkwardly stopping in the middle.

"Shut up and get out. Xia Feng coughed lightly, "You have a little virtue on your mouth, I can consider transferring Yu Han to the south of the whole army."

"Really? Qian Shan raised her eyebrows, and for a moment she was a little happy that she couldn't find the north, and turned her head to leave. Ran bumped into Xiao Mingchen in front of the handsome tent, she was stunned for a moment, and pulled the corners of her mouth in disdain: "Your Highness is down."

Xiao Mingchen saw her running away in ashes, and shook his head to enter the account: "Didn't you originally plan to let General Yu Han go south?" Also deliberately teasing her.

"Otherwise, give her some color and you will open a dye shop." Xia Feng stepped forward and grabbed his hands, "I know, you didn't go south this time just to relieve the siege of Shouzhou, but..."

"You've been talking to me ten times in the past two days, right?" Xiao Mingchen chuckled, "It'll be fine." You have arranged so many people to protect me, if there is any more trouble, won't it smash your signboard? Even for this, I must take care of myself.

"Okay, don't backtrack! Xia Feng poked at his heart.

Xiao Mingchen grabbed her white fingers, carefully rubbed the scars accumulated over the years, and gently kneaded them with distress.

Xia Feng and Xiao Mingchen and their group took the road from Yanzhou and left the northwest for Shouzhou.

Not far outside Yanzhou, there is a towering mountain, yellow and green leaves are flying, will not fall, the official road passes through the canyon next to the ridge, into a line of sky.

This official road is the only way to go south of Yanzhou, and if you want to bypass it, you can only go over the mountains. The front-line heaven and earth are the easiest to recruit bandits who block the road and rob, but here is adjacent to Yanzhou under the rule of the Xia family in the northwest, and no outlaw dares to break ground on the head of the Xia family army.

Xia Feng was talking and laughing with Xiao Mingchen, and before he entered the valley, he suddenly instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and raised his hand back to stop the team from advancing.

"How? Xiao Mingchen was puzzled.

"There's a guy who doesn't have long eyes in the way. Xia Feng chuckled, and then shouted with a cold face: "Where is the friend in front, if you don't want to live, cut yourself as soon as possible, don't block anywhere, if the road is dirty, it's really shameful."

"Shuai Xia, I have admired it for a long time. One person wore a felt hat, braided a full of small braids, walked out from behind the bushes with his hands, and his rough face was full of smiles: "His Royal Highness King Ning, it's really a fate, and we met again."

"Where should I be a dog?" Hokuga's. Xia Feng scoffed, "Seeing you really dirty the eyes of my entire army."

As if he didn't understand her sarcasm at all, Shi Mo slowly walked to the front of the hillside: "I heard that the two newlyweds didn't get along well at home, why did they come out?" "

I heard that King Shi Mo was beaten to death by Lu Nongzhuo's Lingnan Army and fled back to his hometown, why, you didn't go home?" Xia Feng didn't want to look at him, and said sarcastically: "Or do you say, the dog who lost his family, can't go back?"

"Xia Feng, less nonsense. King Ben is not here to fight with you. Shi Mo stared at Xiao Mingchen beside her, and a flash of essence flashed in his almost invisible little eyes, "Your Royal Highness King Ning, don't you say a word?"

"Say what? Xiao Mingchen raised his head and looked at him coldly, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that the imperial sister-in-law committed suicide after poisoning the imperial brother, and she did not live up to your brainwashing." "

The empress of King Ning's brother Xiao Minghui, Beihe Hosaku, is the daughter of Shi Mo Lust.

Shi Mo's face trembled slightly under his beard, and he proudly sighed: "This is her glory."
After he
said that, he looked at Xiao Mingchen, who was cold and cold below, as if he wanted to go down the hillside, but he was afraid of Xia Feng below, so he had to stand all the way away and say ruthlessly: "Your Highness, don't you want to see me, and you don't want to see your biological parents?" "

Shit! As soon as Xia Feng heard him mention Huairu and the Emperor Xian, he immediately became a little more alert, and interrupted: "If you want to see King Yan, I will send you down immediately, maybe you can kowtow to your family's ancestor who can't give birth by the way."

"Panicked about what? Shi Mo raised his hand to touch his messy beard, "I didn't say that they are still alive, and they can't see each other." I heard that the Central Plains is the most filial piety, and the remains of their biological parents can't be thrown away, right?

Xia Feng was almost shocked by his boundless meanness, and he didn't know how to scold for a while.

"I heard that King Shimo was the right hand of the monarch of Beihe, and Wen Neng's rule the world and Wu Neng's leading troops. Xiao Mingchen's fingers clenched unconsciously, and said word by word: "It is also eye-opening to be involved with Wang Thief and the like, and to do such a despicable and shameless thing."

"The king's words have been brought here, you can see and do it." With a gentle wave of his hand, countless soldiers and horses hidden in the bushes on both sides of the valley suddenly appeared.

He seemed to smile: "If you are not filial, you should not have heard anything." If you still have a little filial piety for the son of man, it is better to go to Jiang Han to see, Wang Xiangye is waiting for you in Xiangzhou.

He looked at Xia Feng, who had a murderous face, and was proud: "Marshal Xia, this king is passing by here, by the way, to His Royal Highness King Ning, he will never dare to have the slightest interference with the eight northwestern states, you can make it convenient, let me wait and leave." How is it?

He put on a face that was inquiring about discussion, but his words and deeds did not mean to negotiate in the slightest.

The soldiers and horses in the bushes were ten times more than the entourage led by Xia Feng, and the disparity in strength between the two sides was extremely large, and Xia Feng couldn't do anything with him at all.

". Xia Feng lowered his voice, "It's best not to let me see you again." "

Wait until Shi Mo arrogantly leaves with a large number of soldiers and horses, leaving only a faint shadow.

Only then did Xia Feng turn his head to look at the slightly pale cheeks of the people around him: "You... Did you already know that the body of the first emperor was lost?

"I know, but I can't figure out why." Xiao Mingchen's voice seemed a little hoarse, "If the Saint Secret Art needs me to achieve, I have been in Shengjing for so many years, Wang Mao has the opportunity to do it, why hasn't it all the time?" Did he steal my father's body just to blackmail me?

"Wang Mao, this person, always let me know how low the lower limit of a person is. Xia Feng hated and said, "Has his humanity fed the dog?"

"He's probably inhuman. Xiao Mingchen quickly eased up, and Fang Caishi wiped his desires for an extremely despicable agitation method as if it had no effect on him.

He used his sleeves to cover it, quietly touched the back of Xia Feng's hand, and soothed in a low voice: "A Feng, there is no need to be angry with this kind of person." "

They stole the body of the emperor, and even your mother's death was related to Wang Mao, so despicable and bad, you..." Xia Feng looked directly into his narrow and good-looking light-colored eyes, lowered his voice, and said seriously: "If you are sad or resentful, you don't have to hide it in front of me, and there is no need to comfort me in turn."

"It's been a long time since I forgot about these things." Xiao Mingchen looked at the empty wilderness blue sky in the distance, "Do you want to see more beautiful things in the world, or did you tell me, forgot?"

"It's hard for you to remember. Xia Feng remembered the farce in the green building when the two first met, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Returning to Shouzhou after a few months of absences is very different from the peace and tranquility of the past. Xiao Jing had attacked and harassed many times in a month, and Yan Lin, who had never led troops, barely supported in front of the battle, and everyone in Shouzhou City was in danger.

They entered the city through the west city gate, and the atmosphere in the city was extremely tense, and the streets were no longer as bustling as before.

Yan Lin, as a loyal fan of King Ning, knew that they were coming, but he didn't even arrange for anyone to greet them at the city gate. When I arrived at the mansion of the commander of Shouzhou, I still did not see the Buddha-figure.

Xia Feng asked strangely: "What's the matter, Xiao Jing has not come to attack the city in the past few days, and the Qingzhou army has not been seen outside the city, where are you Lord Yan?"
The adjutant general who
led the way for them replied: "Back to the marshal, our lord led the troops out of the city the day before yesterday." "

What," Xia Feng remembered Yan Lin's three-legged cat kung fu, "He doesn't want to die?" "
