my wife is wonderful

Chapter 270 Fate
Speaking of this, Nie An blushed a little.

"Actually, it was not like this at the beginning. Before the arrival of the Zhenyao Army, the Canghan Guards fought fierce battles several times and suffered heavy casualties. Although the North City Gate and the West City Gate have not yet been breached, people in the city are panicked, and people are already preparing to move their families south. The people outside the city did not dare to enter the city. Fortunately, Yao Mu's army at that time wanted to capture Cangcheng, use Cangcheng as the entrance, go south, and then capture Pingcheng, so they did not consider dedicating their troops to occupy the villages and towns outside the city. , the people outside the city were saved."

Nie An had a look of joy on his face, "At that time, the commander was exhausted mentally and physically. While trying to defend the city with all his strength, he was also worried that Yao Mu's army would not be able to attack for a long time and would vent their anger on the people in the villages and towns outside the city. After all, they had done the massacre before. It’s not like it’s never been done before. Fortunately, some villagers in the northwest were relocated in advance this time, so the casualties were not too great.”

Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan listened to these things. Although they had never experienced it personally, they could imagine that the people in the war were in an environment where they could die at any time, and they were in a state of panic all the time. Their lives were miserable.

Seeing the intolerance and compassion on their faces, Nie An quickly continued: "Later, General Zhu led the Zhenyao army to arrive in time, and won two battles in a row. Not only did it severely dampen the spirit of Yao Mu's army, but most importantly Yes, it greatly boosted the morale of our army and the confidence of the people inside and outside the city to win this battle and preserve Cangcheng. "

Zhu Yan nodded, "Are Yao Mu's troops still outside the North City Gate and West City Gate now?"

"They have been driven away a long time ago. Even if the North City Gate and the West City Gate are wide open now, no Yao Mu soldiers will dare to come in. Of course, they can't get close to the city gate at all, because our Zhenyao Army's camp is now stationed Outside the city, if they dared to take a step closer, their courage would have been broken."

"Then..." That's a great victory, and we can return to the imperial court.

After saying only one word, Zhu Yan paused. The commander of Zhenyao Army was her father. Her father must have his own reasons for doing this. How could she question it in front of outsiders.

Nie An seemed to see what Zhu Yan was thinking. He grinned and said, "General Zhu and the commander have their own plans. Miss Zhu, don't worry. No, we are here."

Geng Xingshuang looked in the direction of Nie An's finger, and sure enough she saw a wealthy mansion with the word "Xin Mansion" written on it. When the boy at the door saw Nie An, he came over to greet him.

When Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan got off the carriage, they saw a lady wearing a Hunan-colored brocade dress with a dark pattern on the breast, ocher red pleats, a bun, and a red gold and ruby ​​begonia flower hairpin. She smiled. Then he walked out, followed by two maids.

"This is Mrs. Xin!" Nie An quickly introduced the two of them.

Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan hurried forward to greet them, stood in front of Madam Xin, and then saluted together. Before they could say the words of greeting, Madam Xin had already held their hands one by one, and said enthusiastically: "I received a message from our master two days ago and learned that the two girls will come to stay at our house. I have been looking forward to it. It's great that they are here now, that's great!"

Mrs. Xin said "good" twice in a row, which showed that she must have heard about what happened to them. Now that she saw the two of them standing here well, it was obvious that they were out of danger.

"Mrs. Lao cares about me." Zhu Yan said gratefully.

"You don't have to be so polite. Come in quickly, Xiao Nie. You can also come in and have a cup of tea."

Mrs. Xin pulled Geng Xingshuang and Zhu Yan through the door, and then greeted Nie An.

Nie An waved his hand quickly, "I can't go in, I have to rush to see the general."

In the green cloth carriage at the back was their biggest prize this time, Emperor Yao Mu's favorite son, the fifth prince Goluo of Yao Mu.

There are also those gangsters in Shazhai. These all need to be decided in the future. Although the two girls made a promise to the four bandits in Shazhai before, there are preconditions. If they are not who they say they are. Generally speaking, if you have ever committed an act of hurting someone's life, it is unforgivable. However, even if you only rob property, it is a capital crime and you will not be able to avoid it.

But there is no need to talk to Mrs. Xin about this.

Before Nie An left, he looked back, and Zhu Yan also happened to look back. Their eyes collided in the air, and they immediately looked away. Geng Xingshuang noticed Zhu Yan's red ears and wanted to look back, but was stopped by Zhu Yan. He grabbed her and said, "Let's go quickly, we can't let Madam wait for us."

Wait, they almost stepped on Mrs. Xin's heels.

Geng Xingshuang was amused in her heart, and it showed on her face.

Zhu Yan turned his head and ignored her.

Nie An watched the slim figure walk into the vermilion gate and gradually disappear. Just when he was about to turn around, he heard his subordinate Tang Zhong said with a smile: "Sir, when we return to the military camp later, do you want to wash your face first?" , shave before going to see General Zhu."

Nie An endured it, but finally couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his face, and then glanced sideways at Tang Zhong, "It's not like General Zhu has never seen me, how can he still dislike my appearance?"

He's not bad looking either, and some people have praised him for being brave and strong and a good boy.

Tang Zhong pretended to be cautious and asked, "Isn't Miss Zhu and General Yang's fiancée good friends?"

"You have no eyes? Do you still need to ask me about something you can see with just one glance?" Nie An glanced at Tang Zhong suspiciously. If he is so slow, can he still want it? Is it enough to be my right-hand man?

Tang Zhong was suddenly doubted about his ability, and he felt wronged. For the sake of his own career, he did not dare to hold back any longer, and hurriedly expressed what he was thinking in his heart, regardless of whether the adults in his family could accept it. "Sir, what I mean is that the relationship between Miss Zhu and General Yang's fiancee is so good. General Zhu must also know that General Yang and Miss Geng are an unmarried couple. He can't wait until General Yang gets married. We will also have a wedding drink, and you and Yang Shen will be brothers. Yang Shen will grow up to be like that, and you will be like this. General Zhu will inevitably have a gap in his heart..."

Nie An glared at Tang Zhong, "No wonder you're not good at this. What are you thinking about all day long?"

As he said that, he reached out and pressed Tang Zhong's head, pushing Tang Zhong forward and staggering, but he managed to avoid falling.

"The lower body is not stable enough. After returning to the military camp, I have to squat for an additional two quarters of an hour every day."

Nie An commented calmly, strode forward, stepped on the horse's back, and walked towards the north gate as the horse walked smoothly. He touched his chin again and felt that his belongings were missing. One thing is that without a mirror, my beard would not be as neatly shaved. Speaking of what he looked like, I only saw it vaguely through the water when I was bathing by the river. I couldn't see it clearly. I can't remember it now. Not very clear.

However, he could clearly see and remember the appearance of his junior brothers. Even though he was dressed the same as them, his face was dirty and covered in blood after fighting, his face, figure, and demeanor were... also... How do you say that word? It's like a crane or a group of people. In short, it's very beautiful.

Not to mention, when he was wearing gorgeous clothes and carrying beautiful jade, he remembered that when walking on Pingcheng Street, there were often girls who almost fell down when they looked at him.

If it was a comparison of looks, although he didn't remember much about his appearance, he probably was worse than his junior brother because he didn't have the junior brother's worries when he went out on the street.

But he also has advantages. For example, he is taller, stronger, and more mature than his junior brother. I hope General Zhu can see his advantages and compare him with others instead of his junior brother.

Nie An thought with some guilt.

Xin Mansion is very open. As soon as you enter the gate, you will see a large courtyard in the middle of the surrounding corridors. The courtyard is different from other mansions. It is decorated with famous flowers and plants, rockeries and flowing water. Instead, it is very empty and large, except for a row of weapons placed on the side. frame, and the rest is nothing.

However, this was not the first time for Geng Xingshuang to see such an arrangement.

"Our master is a military commander, so the decoration in this house seems rough. It will only take a few days for the two girls to suffer."

Mrs. Xin has also lived in Ningdu City, so she naturally knows that the mansions of the powerful people in Ningdu City are either exquisite and unique, or rich and luxurious, in short, they are very beautiful, while their house is just a house composed of walls and rooms, without As for any decorative items, I don’t know the living habits of these two ladies from Ningdu City, especially whether Miss Zhu from the Duke’s Mansion would be picky.

She had thought about this issue when she received the message from Xin Zhou, so when she received the news from Nie An in advance and learned that he would arrive in Cangcheng today, she dressed up well. The house was It's too late and there's nothing I can do to clean it up. As the hostess, I have to clean it up.

Geng Xingshuang looked at Zhu Yan and found that she was a little distracted. She didn't seem to understand the meaning of Mrs. Xin's words, nor did she notice the difference in this mansion.

"No matter what Madam said, we felt that this house was very good. It is open and bright, which makes people feel that their minds are stretched. Such a majestic and majestic house complements the magnificent and boundless world here. Speaking of which, we would rather There is a good friend in the capital. The layout of her home is very similar to that of her house. We like her very much and often go to her house to bother her. "

Geng Xingshuang said with a smile, and gently poked Zhu Yan's arm secretly. What was this man thinking about? He was so entranced.

Although Mrs. Xin felt that her family's foundation in the court was still shallow and inferior to that of the Duke of Zhenguo, so she lowered her attitude when receiving Zhu Yan and Geng Xingshuang. However, after hearing Geng Xingshuang speak so politely, she gave After receiving enough respect from her and their family, I was naturally happy.

"Is it also the home of a military commander?" Mrs. Xin asked.

Zhu Yan was stabbed like this by Geng Xingshuang. When she came back to her senses, she heard Mrs. Xin's words and thought about the conversation just now. She said, "It's the Jiang family. Mr. Jiang is the current..."

Zhu Yan was a little stuck. She knew about Mr. Jiang's official position, but she really didn't pay much attention to Mr. Jiang. Geng Xingshuang continued: "Mr. Jiang was transferred to the Ministry of War at the beginning of this year as the director."

Mrs. Xin's eyes were slightly bright, and she asked excitedly: "The Jiang family you are talking about is the Jiang Yuan family who lives in Yuqian Lane. Her wife's maiden name is Wang, and she has a son...is the daughter named Xue Fu?"

"Madam, do you know about the Jiang family?" Zhu Yan asked.

Geng Xingshuang, however, felt that Mrs. Xin could describe every member of the Jiang family clearly. She not only knew them, but was very familiar with them.

Although she didn't mention Jiang Lianbu again, it was just because she was worried that the two of them were from a girl's family, but listening to her voice, it was obvious that she knew.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xin laughed and said, "Why don't you know, Yan Ping is my cousin, and my maiden name is Yan Wan."

When the two heard this, they felt that fate was really a wonderful thing. Zhu Yan said happily: "We are very good friends with Sister Fu. Sister Fu is very good in kung fu, even better than Mr. Jiang."

Zhu Yan spoke without hesitation. Mrs. Give someone a name, what is it called..."

"Iron Hammer!" Geng Xingshuang couldn't help but answer. She was deeply impressed by the name Iron Hammer.
