When the imperial envoy was stared at by Xie Xuanchen, he really thought that Xie Xuanchen would kill him.
The imperial envoy scrambled and ran away. After the people left, the courtyard returned to silence.
Xie Xuanchen's words were vivid in their ears, but no one dared to think what Xie Xuanchen's last words meant.
And Xie Xuanchen didn't mean to explain, he put the sword in the sheath with one hand, stepped forward and embraced Mu Mingtang's shoulders and changed direction, and covered Mu Mingtang's eyes with his own hands: "Wait a while. Be careful with your feet. , I'll take you home."
His voice was gentle and casual, just now he just drew his sword and cut two radishes, which was unremarkable and insignificant.
Mu Mingtang also let him play with it. Madam Xu and Wuniang Xu, who were standing at the door, saw them and quickly made way for Xie Xuanchen.
They watched Xie Xuanchen protect Mu Mingtang back to the house, and only then did someone enter the yard and drag the body out. Several ladies of the Xu family stood on the steps and looked at their husbands-in-law in the court, but they were speechless.
General Xu and several others waited in the study for a while before Xie Xuanchen came out. General Xu wanted to salute when he saw Xie Xuanchen, but was stopped by Xie Xuanchen: "General Xu doesn't need to be too polite, everyone sit down."
Xie Xuanchen was actually about the same age as Xu's grandson, and at least half of the people present were older than him. But as long as Xie Xuanchen is there, he should have a dominant tone when he speaks.
Now is not the time to pay attention to etiquette. Everyone sat down again. General Xu asked Xie Xuanchen: "My lord, you killed the two Beirong people who were responsible for the delivery ceremony. I'm afraid Yeluyan will not let it go. What's the prince's plan next? ?"
After General Xu finished speaking, all eyes in the study focused on Xie Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen's eyes were bright and he said: "Zhongshan, Taiyuan, and Hejian have always been the territory of the Ye Dynasty, and there is no reason to hand them over to the Beirong people. I hope that General Xu will repair a letter and tell the Hejian guards that they are not of our race. Hearts must be different, don’t trust outsiders.”
General Xu nodded and said, "I understand, I will write to General Hejian Chang." In fact, General Xu does not need to say, the news has probably been sent back to Hejian. Seeing that Xie Xuanchen refused to deliver, Hejian must have learned something. Kind. Even if they didn't dare to kill, they would have driven them away long ago.
After Old General Xu finished speaking, he felt that something was not right. Xie Xuanchen asked him to write a letter. What would Xie Xuanchen do
General Xu's eyes changed slightly: "Your Highness, you..."
Xie Xuanchen nodded slightly: "Yes, I plan to go out and catch Yeluji back."
He said it lightly, but everyone else in the study was intimidated. Xie Xuanchen raised his hand and moved his wrist at will. He is now wearing a narrow-sleeved uniform, with arrow sleeves covering the backs of his hands, revealing only slender, white fingers.
"I didn't plan to let Yeluji go, and it's time to bring him back." Xie Xuanchen said with a disdainful smile, "Will Yeluyan threaten people? where?"
Xu Dalang is obviously his own, and at this moment, a kind of fear arises spontaneously. Xu Dalang asked, "What is the prince going to do?"
"Nothing, bring eight hundred cavalry, only three days of dry food, all light and simple, and set off today." Xie Xuanchen stood up and said, "Yeluji has only been out for five days, and he is still injured and can't walk. How far. I heard that Empress Dowager Xiao loves her youngest son very much, and Bei Rong has no father or son to follow. It is common for him to pass the throne to his younger brother. We catch Yeluji and come back. Send it to Empress Dowager Xiao. I think it is Yeluyan's patience or Yeluji's longevity."
Xu Jiaerlang broke into a cold sweat when he heard it. Fortunately, Xie Xuanchen was still in the same camp as them. If there was an enemy like Xie Xuanchen, it would be a nightmare.
Courageous, ruthless, and do not die.
Mu Mingtang sat in the room for a while, trying his best to ignore the sounds of rubbing the floor outside. After Xie Xuanchen came in, he asked about her current situation and went out. Mu Mingtang knew that he and General Xu had something important to discuss, so he kept waiting quietly.
But she didn't expect that Xie Xuanchen would leave soon.
Not only him, but several members of the Xu family have changed their clothes. Mu Mingtang instinctively felt that something was wrong, and immediately chased outside the door: "Xie Xuanchen."
At this moment, Xie Xuanchen and several other Xu Jiaerlangs are checking for the last time. After Xie Xuanchen proposed the combat method, although General Xu felt it was a risk, the sons below responded one after another and took the initiative to fight. Later, Xie Xuanchen picked a few younger brothers from the Xu family who were familiar with the terrain, and also picked a few from his own people who were handy.
The Xu family was used to this kind of life, and they tidied up in an instant. Now they do the last inspection in front of the horse, and then go to the barracks to order people, and they are about to leave.
Suddenly they heard someone calling Xie Xuanchen's name, they all froze for a moment, and Xie Xuanchen's deity still turned back without any difference, as if he didn't care about being called by someone's name: "Why did you come out?"
Others looked like they had seen a ghost, but Xie Xuanchen didn't think he was embarrassed, even smiled, and spoke to the person in a soft and intimidating tone: "I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back soon. Stay for two days and I'll be back to pick you up soon."
"Where are you going?"
Xie Xuanchen looked at Mu Mingtang who was relentless in front of him, and sighed softly: "I'm going to chase Yeluji, but I can't say where I'll go."
Xu Qilang, who was standing next to Xie Xuanchen, almost lost his eyes. Isn't this a secret? Just now Xie Xuanchen reminded everyone with a cold face that they were not allowed to reveal their whereabouts.
Everyone looked at Xie Xuanchen with an unbelievable look, but Xie Xuanchen completely shielded him, touched Mu Mingtang's hair with his lightly-armored hand, and said softly, "I'll be back soon, don't worry."
When Mu Mingtang heard that he was going to chase Yeluji, his whole heart twitched. Looking at the situation of other people, she knew that she was in a hurry now, and Xie Xuanchen had no time to delay. She could only hold back her worries and said, "Don't get hurt, I'll wait for you to come back."
Xie Xuanchen looked at her and smiled softly: "Okay."
After speaking, everyone mounted their horses one after another, and the intention to set off was obvious. Xie Xuanchen didn't move, and said to Mu Mingtang, "You go back first, it's not safe for you to be alone when I leave."
He had a stance that he would not move until Mu Mingtang went back. At this time, Xu Wuniang and others came to find him. Xie Xuanchen saw Mu Mingtang enter the door with his own eyes, so he got on his horse and chased after the team that had been urged several times.
As soon as Xu Wuniang came out, she saw this scene. She clicked her tongue and said, "The princess and the prince have such a good relationship, they are like newlyweds. The dead ghost from our family also followed, but she didn't have time to talk to me."
Mu Mingtang is often teased, and he is used to it. She breathed softly and said, "I really don't trust him if he wants to come out."
Xu Wuniang's teeth were sour, and she smiled deliberately: "Yo, you teenage husband and wife are almost sticking together as one person, and you won't be able to be separated for a day. Now it's just the two of you. When you have a child in the future, what will you do?"
Mu Mingtang blushed when he heard this: "It's not like that."
Xu Wuniang has been dancing with knives and guns since she was a child. She got closer and asked quietly, "It's been almost two years since you were married, do you already have one?"
Mu Mingtang's face turned redder: "No."
"Not yet? Wangye's hit rate is not very good, or did you two do it on purpose?"
Mu Mingtang blushed and was speechless. When Xu Wuniang laughed when she saw it, Mrs. Xu followed the trail and was puzzled: "What did the fifth brother and sister say, why are you smiling like this?"
Xu Wuniang laughed even louder. Mu Mingtang was ashamed and angry, knowing that he couldn't talk about these people, and hurried back to his room.
The news that the emperor ceded the three northern towns caused an uproar, and the people were indignant when they heard it. In fact, the emperor regretted it after he said it. However, at this time, the messenger had already left the city with the imperial decree, and even if the emperor wanted to get back, he could not do anything about it.
Unexpectedly, the last news came as a surprise. Xie Xuanchen killed halfway back to Zhongshan, refused to hand over the city, and killed two Beirong messengers. Hejian saw that he had learned something. Taiyuan on the other side did not speak to anyone, but made the exact same choice.
The lord of the land can let it go, but the minister does not.
Xie Xuanchen's actions caused an uproar. His actions were actually taboo. Unexpectedly, a few days later, a more explosive news came back. Xie Xuanchen took 800 light cavalry, no backup and no food and grass, and went deep into the territory of Beirong alone. He even broke into the tent of 20,000 people and took Yeluji hostage from the main tent.
Eight hundred people rushed into the camp of 20,000 people. It was simply daring and unbelievable. What's even more incredible is that they really succeeded.
Xie Xuanchen withdrew when he succeeded, and the other people who set fire to the camp did not want to fight, and immediately retreated. They broke in like ghosts and evacuated like ghosts. From the beginning to the end, many Beirong soldiers hadn't reacted yet, and their King Dongdan was robbed from the tent in front of everyone's eyes.
Yeluji was like a toy. It walked out from here seven days ago, and was brought back without dignity seven days later.
After Xie Xuanchen left, Mu Mingtang was worried, and could not sleep peacefully, and woke up after a little trouble. Mu Mingtang learned that Xie Xuanchen had only brought dry food for three days. Seeing that the third day passed little by little, Mu Mingtang's heart gradually sank to the bottom of the sea.
The rest of the Xu family were not in a calm mood, Xu Wuniang kept whispering in Mu Mingtang's ear: "Although they only brought three days' worth of dry food, the dry food is durable, and it's fine to save it for four or five days, so don't worry too much. ."
After Xu Wuniang finished speaking, she said "um", not knowing who she was trying to convince.
What can Mu Mingtang do, she can only comfort herself with such reasons. But the inner house was still in a slump. When everyone thought that the life and death of their husband and son were unknown, they didn't even think about eating. No one moved the dinner, and it was over after a quick bite.
After the meal, Xu Wuniang came to invite Mu Mingtang: "Princess, are you afraid of falling asleep alone? Otherwise, you will come to me at night?"
Mu Mingtang thanked Xu Wuniang for her kindness, and was about to politely decline when suddenly there was a loud noise outside. Mu Mingtang and Xu Wuniang looked at each other and ran out.
Sure enough, the children jumped off their horses one by one at the door. Although they were described as embarrassed, their eyebrows were full of flying colors: "Hahaha, King Dongdan is afraid that he will not dare to enter the border in the future. After being pressed and beaten, only 20,000 people were left to escape, and they were brought back after two days of sleep. If I were him, I would kill myself, saving the shame of living."
Xu Wulang glared at his younger brother, but his eyes were full of smiles: "Jinghun said. Tell the guard brother to be very optimistic about him, and finally catch him back, but he can't let him die."
"Don't worry, the brothers have experience and guard him from the road."
The two brothers were talking when they suddenly saw two female relatives running out of it. When Xu Qilang saw it, he shouted loudly, "Princess, fifth sister-in-law."
It didn't take long for other people to get the news and rushed out one after another. Even Mrs. Xu walked out with the help of her eldest daughter-in-law: "Goro and the others are back?"
Xu Qilang and Xu Wulang stepped forward to greet Mrs. Xu, and everyone gathered around them to ask questions. Mu Mingtang stood at the door and looked around for a long time, but he didn't see Xie Xuanchen's figure, and his heart was suddenly cold.
Madam Xu saw that Mu Mingtang's face was wrong and asked, "Wulang, Qilang, where is the prince?"
Mentioning this Xu Qilang made an "oh", without thinking much, he said, "The lord and the fourth brother have gone to settle the King of Dongdan. The lord was injured, he said he would need to bandage it and come back by the way."
As soon as Xu Wulang heard it, he stabbed his brother quickly, but it was too late, Mu Mingtang's eyes slowly widened: "Is he injured?"
This time Xu Qilang also knew that he had said something wrong: "It's not serious... It's just a minor injury."
Mu Mingtang didn't believe it, with an expression like you all helped him lie to me. Xu Qilang didn't know which sister-in-law pinched him, so he didn't dare to speak. Madam Xu was so angry that she gave him a hard blow with a cane. Xu Qilang didn't dare to hide, and was very aggrieved at the accusing eyes of his sister-in-law and niece: "It's really a minor injury..."
Xie Xuanchen fixed the Yelu organization, dealt with the wound on his body, and walked to Xu's house while talking with General Xu and Xu Shilang. Old General Xu is now convinced of this young man who is about the same age as his grandson: "The prince is brave and resourceful, and he will guard his life for the rest of his life. He is less than half the vision of the prince. The last will be ashamed."
"General Xu doesn't need to say that, Zhongshan's current stability is entirely due to General Xu's painstaking management and ten years of strict defense."
Xie Xuanchen always speaks with the tone of a high-ranking person, just like now, what he said is very similar to the monarch praising the meritorious ministers of defending the city.
And Old General Xu couldn't have the heart to resist, as if everything should be like this. The two of them were talking when suddenly a man came running from the door and shouted from a distance, "Xie Xuanchen."
Xie Xuanchen paused, then immediately greeted her with a smile: "Why did you come out? Shouldn't you have been waiting here?"
Mu Mingtang ignored him, and immediately looked at Xie Xuanchen's clothes: "Are you injured?"
Xie Xuanchen didn't know why he was handed over before he even entered the door. Xie Xuanchen originally wanted to say that it was all right, but he looked at Mu Mingtang's distressed eyes, and suddenly changed his voice: "That's right. But it's not a fatal injury, you don't have to worry."
Xie Xuanchen was fine when he gag, but he said it was not fatal, which made Mu Mingtang very suspicious that he was seriously injured. Mu Mingtang's eyes were earnest, and he looked at his body under his clothes one after another. If he hadn't been outside, he would have wanted to check it out himself.
"Where are you injured? Does it hurt?" Mu Mingtang said, carefully supporting Xie Xuanchen's arm, "Can you walk?"
After saying this, Xie Xuanchen really felt that he was not good enough. Old General Xu and Xu Shilang approached, and seeing that the lord who was still alive just now seemed to have suddenly become ill, he even had to lean on the princess to walk.
The Xu family's father and son both had strange expressions: "My lord, what's the matter with you?"
Mu Mingtang was worried that Xie Xuanchen would lose his strength, so he replied on his behalf: "He is seriously injured and it is inconvenient to speak too much. I will accompany the prince to go back first. Thank you for taking care of the prince along the way."
Seriously injured? Old General Xu and Xu Shilang both showed stunned expressions, wasn't Xie Xuanchen just slashed on his arm? His muscles were hard, and even the texture on the inside was not hurt, but there was some blood on the surface, and it would be fine after two days of resting for the wound to heal.
Is this also a serious injury
General Xu saw with his own eyes Xie Xuanchen winked at them, and then was coaxed away by the princess weakly. The princess spoke softly throughout the whole process. Xie Xuanchen was injured more and more seriously. In the end, she couldn't even walk, so she had to be helped by the princess.
Old General Xu felt sore teeth at the moment for a lot of age.
Really blind.
