Before Qiao Tianya left in the house, Shen Zechuan said, "I'll go back in a while, tell Yuan Zhuo about the Liuzhou port, and we'll talk about it later. It's been cold recently, and the dragons in the house are going to burn, don't let him go any further. sick."
Qiao Tianya was more comfortable than Fei Sheng in front of Shen Zechuan, and said, "Be careful."
Shen Zechuan thought for a while, and said, "There are many people who have come to see me this year, and they all want to make a future. I'll stop it in a few days. I'll talk about it when Yuan Zhuo's illness is cured. You did a good job today. , don't let him in next time."
Qiao Tianya took out the folded note from his sleeve, pushed it to Shen Zechuan, and said, "I'm here for this. There are many famous people who posted the post. Yuan Zhuo carefully read it and wrote two lists for the master. ."
"Two copies?" Shen Zechuan's fingertips were warm, and he flicked the note away.
"This one can be kept or not," Qiao Tianya pointed to the left, "this one can be kept and still available."
Shen Zechuan looked at the shares that could be kept or not. They were all well-known bachelors, and very few of them could use them, because what Zhongbo urgently needed now was the practical school. But these people came all the way to Cizhou to defect to Shen Zechuan. For the sake of fame, Shen Zechuan could not be taken lightly, and he had to keep them in the house as clean guests. On the other hand, the other available ones are basically unknown characters.
"After the spring, we need a group of people," Shen Zechuan said. "At that time, count the talents selected by Zhou Gui, draw up a list for each state, and arrange them all."
Shen Zechuan planned to take back the remaining three states before spring, so as to catch up with the spring ploughing, otherwise he would definitely have to worry about food again at the end of the year.
Qiao Tianya heard the words and heard footsteps under the eaves, so he stood up and said with a smile, "Second Master is back."
After Xiao Fangxu left, Xiao Jiming was the King of Libei, and it was inappropriate to call Xiao Chiye "Second Young Master", so he simply changed it to Second Master.
Xiao Chiye stood still under the eaves, Chenyang and Gujin took off the cloak for him one by one, the maid next to him put on a hot handkerchief, and he wiped his hands with it. Ding Tao quickly opened the curtain, and Xiao Chiye leaned in.
Qiao Tianya and Fei Sheng knew each other, and were about to retire immediately, but Xiao Chiye asked, "Where is Hai Rigu?"
Fei Sheng glanced sideways at Shen Zechuan, and when he saw Shen Zechuan acquiesced, he replied, "If you go back to the second master, it will be in our Beiyuan campus." , "The master specially arranged for Jin Yiwei to take a daily inventory to prevent them from running around."
"Gujin," Xiao Chiye said looking back, "I will go to Beiyuan campus to find Hai Rigu in a while."
Shen Zechuan was sitting at the back, so Fei Sheng naturally wouldn't ask anything. He saluted Xiao Chiye again, and withdrew with Qiao Tianya. The master was inside, and the guards were not good at standing under the eaves to say hello. Several people walked up to the side porch to discuss matters.
It was hot in the room, Xiao Chiye took off his knife and undressed, and Shen Zechuan sat on a chair and looked at him. Xiao Chiye went from the fighting area to Bianbo Camp, and then from Bianbo Camp to Cizhou. He leaned over, completely blocking the chair, and said, "Is it lighter?"
Shen Zechuan was still holding the pen, and he rubbed his fingertips along the smooth barrel a few times, as if he didn't understand, and whispered, "Where are you kissing?"
Xiao Chiye raised his hand and squeezed Shen Zechuan's chin, preventing him from running, leaning his head and kissing him in the chair. Shen Zechuan tilted his neck like this, revealing his sliding Adam's apple, which contained Xiao Chiye's coldness. He stopped writing and moved his hand up Xiao Chiye's arm, hanging around Xiao Chiye's neck when he was picked up.
There is no consolation in the kiss of a lover. It is a feeling that others can give. Only the desire and dissatisfaction revealed when asking for it is the real thing. This is a unique lick between lovers. Xiao Chiye needs this kind of secret and extreme dependence, which is his belonging and his territory.
Shen Zechuan was hot from the kiss, Xiao Chiye put him on the table, raised his arms, and looked at him seriously. In less than a moment, Shen Zechuan's flushing swept up from the base of his ears and quickly spread to the corner of his eyes. It seemed that he couldn't stand Xiao Chiye, he couldn't even stand such aggressive staring, that was another... an incredible temptation.
The two are already very familiar with each other, and they can find each other's vital points with their eyes closed. But at this moment, Shen Zechuan would still be swayed by Xiao Chiye's eyes. The acceleration of his breathing caused fine sweat, and he was walking against his smooth back.
Xiao Chiye looked so dangerous, as if unlocking the chain would plunder Shen Zechuan like a storm. He needed Shen Zechuan too much, but he was extremely restrained. That desire was like lava rushing under the thin ice surface, and Shen Zechuan noticed the love that would be pinched through his eyes.
This is the change brought about by abstinence.
Xiao Chiye kissed Shen Zechuan slowly, stretched out his arms and threw the robe into the chair, and said, "I'll go to the bathroom."
Shen Zechuan wiped off Xiao Chiye's thin sweat, pulled away, and blinked to signal him to go.
* * *
When Xiao Chiye came out again, he had already changed into clean clothes. He wiped his hair inside, and saw the box on the table. After opening it, it was the jade sent by Yan Heru.
Outside, Chen Yang was talking to Shen Zechuan and said, "I have to go back to Bianbo Camp in three days, but my master will stay."
Shen Zechuan seemed to be looking at the case, and answered very slowly: "In February, have you selected the location of the racecourse to be built in Luoshan?"
Xiao Chiye picked up a piece of red jade and rubbed it.
Chen Yang replied: "It has been selected, and the construction can start when Duanzhou is recovered."
Shen Zechuan said: "At the end of February, the new guns that General Lu asked for are almost the same. At that time, take the new horse road to avoid detours."
There were some tedious chores behind, Xiao Chiye listened, and thought of the defensive battle a few days ago.
Xiao Chiye is now guarding the second sand battalion with the forbidden army to replace Jiang Sheng's vacancy. Both Guo Weili and Zhaohui were transferred back to the original camp, and the first camp was guarded by Zuo Qianqiu and Lu Guangbai. Xiao Jiming's arrangement was obvious, that is, the Libei Iron Cavalry gave up the dash, and relied on the two people who were best at defense to meet Hasen's attack, and Libei completely turned from attack to defense.
Not only that, Xiao Jiming also made adjustments in the battlefield. In the past, changing generals was equivalent to changing lanes, and the iron cavalry in the battle camp should also be changed. It's different now. Except for Zuo Qianqiu, the leaders of the three battalions have to rotate irregularly. This gave Guo Weili a headache. The soldiers he was used to were no longer following him, and Zuo Qianqiu stared at him while defending, as if the chain was shortened, his neck was stuck, and he felt uncomfortable. Xiao Chiye wanted to leave the Imperial Army and run in with the iron cavalry of the other two battalions. Lu Guangbai even more, he had to be familiar with the cavalry, and turned his thoughts about standing on the ground... Everyone seemed to be tied with their hands and feet, and they were not used to fighting.
But the effect is obvious.
Because the rotation is out of order, Hasson doesn't know who his opponent is on each offense. Without Xiao Fangxu, the morale of the Libei cavalry was indeed low, but the Biansha cavalry failed to do so. Hassen not only faced Zuo Qianqiu, who once guarded the Tianfei Que, but also guarded against the Border County garrison who would hide in the snow.
Hasson didn't know what happened to Libei behind that wall, but the victory didn't arrive as expected, and the two sides fell into some kind of more anxious stalemate. Hassen finally learned Xiao Jiming's power here. The new King Libei and Xiao Fangxu are not at all similar. He seems to be shrinking, but in fact, he has drawn a dead line in the east, making Hassen unable to advance half a point.
Xiao Chiye put aside his distracting thoughts and closed the box again.
Chen Yang resigned, Shen Zechuan was still writing something, and the rustling sound of the pen and ink melted into the sound of snow. Xiao Chiye didn't go out to disturb him, he knew that Shen Zechuan was going to take down King Yi before February, and he would go to the study later to discuss the use of troops in detail. He put the handkerchief aside and fell into the quilt.
I don't know if it's intentional.
When Shen Zechuan woke up last night, he didn't ask the maid to clean up the bed, and Xiao Chiye seemed to smell Shen Zechuan's scent when he lay in it, which made him feel relaxed and could dispel the dull mood brought by the battle.
Xiao Chiye closed his eyes and fell asleep before his hair was dry.
When Fei Shengyou came to call Shen Zechuan, Shen Zechuan pulled away from the case and said, "Open the window, it's so boring." When he got up, he thought of something and said, "Forget it, you are waiting for me at the door."
Fei Sheng bowed his head and left.
Shen Zechuan had been sitting at the desk for too long, and the back of his neck was sore. He opened the curtain in the inner room, and when he entered, he heard Xiao Chiye's steady breathing.
Xiao Chiye leaned on his side, half of his face was sunk into the bedding, he slept very deeply, obviously tired for a long time. After that, the wound on the shoulder wasn't completely healed, and now I don't feel the pressure. Shen Zechuan leaned over and pulled him away lightly, and looked at him, afraid that he would be crushed like this, so he pushed the person directly over.
Xiao Chiye was stuffed in the quilt, and he didn't wake up, so he bent down and said, "Military intelligence report..."
Shen Zechuan leaned over to Xiao Chiye's ear and said, "No military intelligence, go to sleep."
Xiao Chiye turned his face to the side to breathe, but did not open his eyes. Shen Zechuan pointed down to wipe his sweat, carefully and gently. Xiao Chiye grabbed the hand and held it in the palm of his hand and did not return it.
Shen Zechuan murmured like an exhortation: "I'll be back in a while."
He used to talk like this in Yedu, and in all likelihood, he was angry with Xiao Chiye, but now he speaks so lightly, and touches like a soft feather, hundreds of Yan Heru can't compare.
But Xiao Chiye didn't let go.
Fei Sheng waited at the door for a long time, seeing that it was getting dark again. If he delayed any longer, he was afraid that the wind and snow at night would make Shen Zechuan catch a cold, so he hurried in and whispered through the door curtain, "Master, it's almost time."
Shen Zechuan paused for a moment and said, "You stop Yuan Zhuo first, you don't have to go to Zhou Mansion, come directly to me, and then call someone to call Zhou Gui and Chengfeng over."
Fei Sheng heard that he meant to discuss matters at home tonight, and he asked, "Then I invite you gentlemen to the side hall?"
Shen Zechuan sat on the edge of the bed without lighting the lamp, and said, "Let's talk outside here, just keep your voice down."
Fei Sheng nodded, knowing that "be quiet" was the key, so before the gentlemen entered, he asked his subordinates to gently erect a screen in the hall, and moved the discussion position to an off-angle.
Zhou Gui and Kong Ling didn't see Shen Zechuan when they came in, and looked at each other, Fei Sheng hurriedly led them to the back of the screen in a low voice, and said in a low voice, "The master is inside."
Kong Ling said softly, "Second Master is there too?"
Fei Sheng nodded slightly, as if worried, and added: "I'm asleep."
They were making the tea room when Qiao Tianya pushed Yao Wenyu over. Fei Sheng had already spread the shabu-shabu in the house, so that there was no sound when the four-wheeled vehicle came in. Kong Ling looked at it and couldn't help laughing, thinking that Fei Sheng was really a talent.
Yao Wenyu didn't ask where Shen Zechuan was after he sat down. He took the tea cup lightly and said, "Shenwei's letter will be sent today, and there will be news in Fanzhou later, and I have to trouble the adults to watch it carefully."
The three of them are not loud, and they are quite comfortable sitting around here. Zhou Gui nodded in agreement and said, "Fanzhou is now surrounded, King Yi and Luoshan have not reached an agreement, and the soldiers under his command are powerless to resist. I guess he is unlikely to resist desperately, but he will definitely take the opportunity to follow us. bargain."
"It's best if you don't have to use soldiers." Kong Ling was a person who suffered from the disaster of soldiers, so everything is willing to reason. "When King Yi stood up, he boasted to the people of Fanzhou, and now he has not accomplished a single thing, he should also I know I can't resist."
"I'm afraid that King Yi is willing, but the rest of his subordinates will not." Yao Wenyu thought about it and said, "The two provinces of Fan and Deng, which King Yi sits on, are seriously plagued by bandits, and they are even worse than Chazhou. Among them is Cui. Qing and other kilns who sell good family sons are interfering, and these people know that they will die if they surrender."
Shen Zechuan raised his hand to cover Xiao Chiye's ears and listened to their conversation in the dark.
Yao Wenyu is right, Shen Zechuan will not let go of these bandits and kilns, both publicly and privately. The reason for the decline of Fan and Deng states is these people, and they keep all the scourges that hinder the two states. Shen Zechuan will never kill them. Soft hands.
"When our troops approached the city, we pretended to pardon them," Zhou Gui said. "How about we arrest them after the door is opened?"
Kong Ling shook his head and said while serving tea, "You never thought that if they used this to incite the people of the two prefectures, it would be detrimental to the government's reputation."
Shen Zechuan is now cautious in everything. They must consider Shen Zechuan's reputation when they seek the Quartet. In order to replace Shen Wei's notoriety, all actions starting from Chazhou show benevolence and righteousness. Even if he occupies Zhongbo, Shen Zechuan will not be able to establish a virtuous name.
Shen Zechuan was listening when footsteps suddenly sounded under the eaves. Fei Sheng went to the kitchen to call for decoction. How could Gao Zhongxiong know what was going on inside? He patted the snow on his body, and when he came in, he said, "Please give me your best wishes to the lord of the house, then the letter—"
The three of them turned their heads neatly, hissing at him.
Gao Zhongxiong's cheeks flushed from the cold, and he immediately closed his voice and shrank his neck. Seeing Zhou Guichong beckoning to himself, he had lingering fears before he stepped forward. Seeing that the gentlemen didn't say anything, he tiptoed over there, leaned over and said in a very soft voice, "I'll report it to the manor."
Kong Ling didn't know how to explain this, so he could only say: "Wait a minute, sit down and drink tea first."
