half volume

Xie Qing took the piece of cloth, opened it impatiently, and read it at a glance.After reading it, Xie Qing smiled: "King Cangli's literary talent is not bad. What is His Majesty going to do?"

"Let's find someone to write it for you." Zhao Yanzhi sneered, "Surrender is good. Anyone who surrenders will not be rejected, which is a way to promote the prestige of our country. However, many ministers are worried that King Cangli is a fraudulent surrender."

"Well, it makes sense." Xie Qing was still staring at the letter of surrender and studied it carefully: "He said that he brought 8 tribes to surrender to my Great Zhou, and I did some calculations. They fled in a panic and traveled a long distance. Many old and weak women and children may have died on the road, so at least half of the [-] people are young and middle-aged. Tsk tsk, there are [-] to [-] Huns cavalry, no wonder you are worried."

Zhao Yanzhi saw that Xie Qing didn't seem worried at all, sat down next to him with a smile, put his arm around him, and said, "What about you? Are you not worried?"

Xie Qing shook his head: "I think there is nothing suspicious about King Cangli's surrender. It is no secret that the three tribes of the Xiongnu have suffered heavy losses in successive years of fighting. They are fighting endlessly in the desert, and it is impossible for them to have the spare power to get involved in our Great Zhou. "

Zhao Yanzhi nodded in agreement, took a spoonful of meat soup and fed it to Xie Qing's mouth, watching him swallow it obediently, he was very satisfied: "Yeah, I think so too. But with 8 people, it's hard to guarantee that everyone will eat it." You are willing to leave your hometown and come to my Dazhou.”

Xie Qing pondered for a while: "That's the truth. I'm afraid that when the time comes, someone will turn against you, and it will end badly."

Zhao Yanzhi watched Xie Qing finish eating, expressed satisfaction with his food intake today, and said with a smile on his face, "I haven't gone out for a day, so let me go out for a walk with you."

It was only then that Xie Qing remembered that he should still be angry with Zhao Yanzhi, but he really couldn't resist the temptation of "going out for a walk", so he followed without any resistance.Zhao Yanzhi was overjoyed and couldn't help but nibbled on Xie Qing's face.

Xie Qing expressionless, got up and walked outside the hall.

The Guangming Palace at night was very quiet, and Zhao Yan only felt that the night view was wonderful, so he ordered someone to set up a pot of osmanthus wine and a few side dishes, and sat on the ground by the Cangchi.The moonlight is pouring softly on the ground, the wine is paired with the beautiful scenery, and there are even more beautiful women in his arms. Zhao Yan only thinks this is the ultimate pleasure, and he doesn't envy the fairyland.

The emperor looked around and felt that he would not meet anyone at this time, so he took Xie Qing's hand and began to eat tofu actively.Xie Qing hid several times but failed, finally couldn't bear it anymore, knocked off the salty pig's hand raging on his body with a "slap".

This sound was especially loud in the quiet garden, and Xie Qing couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.He pulled Zhao Yanzhi's sleeve awkwardly, and said in a low voice, "Hey, show me."

Zhao Yanzhi was overjoyed in his heart, held his hands and presented them in front of him, Xie Qing took advantage of the moonlight to look at Zhao Yanzhi's hand, there were three unusually bright red fingerprints.

Xie Qing regretted that he did not strike lightly, took Zhao Yanzhi's hand, and asked with some distress: "Does it hurt?"

Zhao Yanzhi immediately nodded like a bird pecking at rice: "It hurts!"

Xie Qing: ...

Zhao Yanzhi put his hand in front of Xie Qing, and coquettishly said, "Blow it."

Xie Qing glared at him, and resignedly picked up the wolf's paw and blew a few mouthfuls; unexpectedly, something happened in these few breaths.

Zhao Yanzhi has been hugging Xie Qing every night for more than a year, but he can only hug him.Xie Qing blew a few blows so that his evil fire immediately started a prairie fire.There is a saying that the moon is dark and the wind is high, the wine is strong and cowardly, Zhao Yan only feels dry mouth, and before he can realize what he has done, he finds that Xie Qing has been thrown down on the soft grass by himself.

Xie Qing was completely stunned.In fact, Zhao Yanzhi himself was also a little dazed, but when he saw Xie Qing's dumbfounded face and even forgot to resist, he immediately decided not to do anything, and kissed him with his eyes closed.

Desire quickly flooded Zhao Yanzhi's rationality like a flood bursting a bank. He was intoxicated in the gentle country he had been away for a long time, unaware that he was being kicked and beaten by the people under him.

Until Xie Qing bit the corner of his mouth hard and didn't let go.

Zhao Yanzhi let out a "hiss" in pain, and stopped unwillingly.Zhao Yanzhi felt that his mouth must have been bitten, and he regretted it when he was a little more sober, but when he stared blankly at Xie Qing's blushing cheeks and disheveled sideburns, he still praised himself silently in his heart: " Strong man."

Seeing that Zhao Yanzhi was about to kiss again regardless, Xie Qing shouted sharply: "Wait!" Zhao Yanzhi stopped with a look of desire and dissatisfaction, and looked at him urgently. No, not here."

Zhao Yanzhi was overjoyed: "Then go back?"

Xie Qing gritted his teeth and said "hmm": "Go back."

Zhao Yanzhi couldn't wait to pick him up and strode back to the car.He threw the man onto the car, shook off Wang Chun's hand to help him, and quickly got in, urging: "Hurry up."

No one noticed that not far from where they sat just now, two people came out of the flowers.

"Ayu, why are you dragging me? Didn't you see that bitch dared to hit your father? No, I must teach him a lesson!" The person who spoke was Zhou Hou.

"Mum," Zhao Yu pulled his mother to persuade him, "Didn't you see how much father spoils him? If you rushed out at that time, he would definitely lose his temper with you."

Zhou Hou nodded unwillingly, and then said disdainfully: "Look at him like that, who is he reluctant to show? Hmph."

Zhao Yu said thoughtfully, "I always feel that person looks familiar, as if I've seen him somewhere before."

Zhou Hou blurted out: "Isn't it just because he looks a bit like the Xianghou of Beiping back then?" After Zhou Hou saw his daughter's surprised expression, he felt a little regretful, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said, "Ah Yu, you're going to ask me about this matter." If you don’t hear it, you can’t say it.”

Zhao Yu was a little helpless: "It's better for mother not to say it." Then he said to himself: "It's impossible to say that Xie's family is over."

Even though he had taken advantage of everything in the car, Zhao Yanzhi still found it hard to return to the palace.With a smile on his face, he wrapped him in his cloak and carried him into the bedroom; Xie Qing just covered his face with his hands in deception, as if in this way others would not know it was him.As soon as Zhao Yanzhi entered the hall, he couldn't wait to drive everyone out.He walked into the inner room, gently placed Xie Qing on the couch, and was about to attach himself to him.

"You go to take a bath." Xie Qing said hoarsely.

Zhao Yanzhi had to stop, and explained in a good-tempered manner: "There is no sweat smell, really, you smell it."

"You go take a bath." Xie Qing insisted.

Zhao Yanzhi said helplessly: "Okay, then wait for me for a while." After speaking, he hurried out of the hall.

Rao is Zhao Yanzhi, who looks like a person celebrating a happy event, even taking a bath will make the servants go crazy.First, he felt that the water was boiling slowly, so he jumped into the bathtub with lukewarm water; he also thought that the palace officials were nagging, so he finally drove them away and washed himself hastily, and it was over.He was dreaming while washing, thinking about this and that later, he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

Finally finished washing, Zhao Yan only happily put on his undergarment and returned to the bedroom.

Then he found that the temple door was locked.

So after all kinds of negotiations, Zhao Yanzhi didn't enter Chengmen, so he had to take a cold shower again in dejection, and then slept in the side hall for three days.

On the fourth day, Zhao Yanzhi was able to knock on Xie Qing's door because of the surrender of King Cangli.

Zhao Yanzhi looked at Xie Qing in embarrassment, staring at him with a half-smile, and sat down embarrassingly away from Xie Qing.He drank a cup of tea, decided not to talk nonsense, so as not to be kicked out again, and said: "Last time, I said that I was afraid that someone would defect, what do you think?"

Xie Qing pondered for a while, and said: "I think this risk is worth taking."

Zhao Yanzhi nodded, and said: "Yes, I also think so. I have seen Yidan's methods, but within a few years he forced Cangli King to go far away. I dare say that if he does not die within five years, he will definitely be eaten. The High Priest Department once again unified the Huns. It’s just that the seeds of division have been planted, and the Huns will not be peaceful in the future. After King Cangli surrendered to us, if the life is good, more Huns will surely surrender. Although it takes a lot of land and money to resettle these people, it is still a drop in the bucket compared to fighting a war."

"That's exactly the reason." Xie Qing thought for a while, and said: "As for the defection, His Majesty can order Cangli King to line up the old and weak women and children with the strong men when he surrenders. Furthermore, we need to send a brave general who can deter the Huns."

"Huaifang is right. But who should I send? Both Zhengze and Atong are not in Chang'an, and Wei Zhi is ill again. This..." Zhao Yanzhi was speaking, and when he caught a glimpse of Xie Qing's expectant expression, his tone immediately became severe. Get up: "Don't even think about it."

Xie Qing was a little gloomy, silently poking at the plate of roasted mutton in front of him, without saying a word.

Zhao Yanzhi sighed, and persuaded helplessly: "Huaifang, don't say that you are a dead person now; even if you are still in court, I can't let you go. Look at your body, can you still stand the wind and sleep? Besides, it’s just to take over a surrendered tribe, and I have to trouble you to go out, so it seems that I am alone.”

Xie Qing knew in his heart that what he said was reasonable, no matter how unwilling he was, there was nothing he could do.He didn't argue any more, but asked, "Then who is His Majesty going to send?"

Zhao Yan only thought for a while and said, "I'm here today to discuss this matter with you. Huai Fang, this time I'm going to let Cheng Ming go."

Xie Qing shook his head as soon as he heard it: "No way! He's a brat who hasn't even seen a battlefield, so what are he going to do?"

Zhao Yanzhi said in a persuasive manner: "Huaifang, let's not talk about it. You have never seen what a battlefield looks like before? Not to mention that you have never been on a battlefield, and you are not familiar with bow and horse, riding and shooting, but you are still in the same way. You took the fortress of the Xiongnu? Chengming is your son, so how could it be so bad!"

Xie Qing shook his head.

Zhao Yanzhi said helplessly: "Huaifang, since you and I are gone, Cheng Ming is the closest person to Ah Sui. Sooner or later, this world will belong to them. You know what military power means, Ah Sui is kind, besides Cheng Ming, I think There is no second person who can be entrusted with peace of mind. And..." Zhao Yanzhi paused, and said firmly: "I owed you in the past, so I have to make up for it from Chengming!"
