Singing and dancing, no.

Good food and wine, no.

There was no feast for three days.

The news of Bai Xia's recovery only spread in a small area. She intended to reduce her influence on Liu Yunzhai and the people of Wei County and improve Li Xiuyuan's status among these people, so she had no intention of meeting her old friend.

But not Li Xiuyuan.

He summoned Li San'er, Shuan Zi, Yu Dahai, Liu Tai, Wu Ziying, Doctor Xie, Qi Shan and other key members of Liu Yunzhai to hold a banquet for Bai Xia to celebrate her good news.

Doctor Xie only had medical skills in his eyes, so he finally had time to catch Bai Xia and take a good look at her. He stared at her for a full hour.

"weird"

"It's still the same pulse, why is it getting better?"

He frowned, as if he didn't want Bai Xia to get better.

"Uncle Xie Shi"

Wu Ziying called him helplessly, reminding him to be more careful when speaking. Didn't you see that Li Xiuyuan's face turned dark next to him?
"Ha, I know, I know, I'm just weird, nothing else."

Doctor Xie laughed and dismissed the matter. In fact, after the banquet was over, the lights in his room were on all night, and the few well-preserved medical books were all turned over.

At the banquet, everyone didn't talk much. Basically, Li Xiuyuan and others were talking. Bai Xia only focused on eating, like an outsider.

"I heard that the new Wei County magistrate's surname is Wang. It turns out that he is a scholar. No other information has been found."

Bai Xia stopped drinking the soup and looked up at the person who spoke.

It is Qishan who has grown into the intelligence chief. He is 14 years old this year. In ancient times, he was already the one who started discussing marriage and wanted to establish a family.

He only has a younger sister in his family, and he has long been the head of the family, supporting himself and his younger sister on his own.

Over the past year, his martial arts skills have improved, and his ability to spy on intelligence has also improved. At least he has obtained some information about the Wei County magistrate. Although it is only the simplest surname and identity, it is not bad.

Speaking of his surname Wang and his background as a scholar, Bai Xia thought of a person.

Wang Lu and Wang Xiucai led the people of Ganzhou to flee famine.

After they told him about the problem with the road map, they abandoned the entire refugee team and left Wang Xiucai.

Will it be him?

Bai Xia speculated in her mind and chuckled suddenly. There were so many scholars named Wang in the world. How come they all knew each other? Maybe it was just a coincidence. The person who happened to be sent here had the surname Wang and was just a scholar.

She drank the soup by herself again.

At the table, Liu Tai looked at her frequently.

I'm curious that she's not the same as she was a year ago.

During this year, he had not thought about taking over Li Xiuyuan's position as the leader of the village and the position of the top leader in Wei County. However, whenever he saw Li Xiuyuan dealing with official duties late at night, he would lose a lot of hair at such a young age. At that time, his thoughts gave up.

He is now basically the top leader in the military camp. He has many people at his disposal, and the boss, Li Xiuyuan, pays them. Recently, he has been preparing to discuss marriage, so he doesn't want to compete for this bitter position.

Although I am still curious about how Bai Xia can produce so much food, I don't really need to know.

After a meal, the guests and host had a great time. They celebrated Bai Xia's recovery and discussed the countermeasures for the appointment of the Wei County magistrate.

After the banquet, Bai Xia returned to the room arranged for her by Li Xiuyuan. Just as she was about to rest, there was a knock on the door.

She opened the door and Li Xiuyuan stood outside holding a thin quilt.

"I...I'll sleep with you tonight"

He stood there, his face red, his hands holding the quilt tightly.

Bai Xia's eyes followed his hands and landed on his head. His hair was darker and brighter than before her illness, but the volume didn't seem to increase much.

"come in"

Considering that he was still injured and needed someone to take care of him, Bai Xia nodded and let him in.He was lying on the inside and Bai Xia was lying on the outside.

One is ten years old and the other is six years old.

They are still children, so there is no big defense between men and women, not to mention that Bai Xia still has their marriage certificate, and they are a legitimate couple, and there is nothing to say.

"Bai Xia, are you asleep?"

After extinguishing the candle, Bai Xia closed her eyes and looked at the top of the bed. She was not sleepy.

Obviously, Li Xiuyuan was not sleepy either.

"not yet"

Li Xiuyuan became energetic when he heard that she hadn't slept either.

He lay on the bed neatly, folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and turned his head towards Bai Xia.

"I have discussed with them that when the Wei County magistrate comes, they will entertain them well."

Ok?
What about him?
Bai Xia had doubts in his mind and asked.

Li Xiuyuan said: "Nowadays, the imperial court is on the rise. It is better to be still than to move. I am still young. Even if I have the power now, it is difficult to convince the public. Moreover, the prince of Zhou, the king of Jizhou and other princes are looking at me. Now I will It would do me no good to face Crown Prince Zhou and the imperial court head-on."

"I plan to hibernate and take advantage of the rare peace to go out for a walk."

He talked about his plan.

"Will he let you go?" She was referring to Prince Zhou.

The prince of Zhou himself was a member of the royal family. It was unreasonable for him to rebel and overthrow the emperor's rule. Although some of the veterans in the court supported him, the military power was in the hands of the emperor, so it was difficult for him to achieve great results.

Under such circumstances, the only option is to confuse the situation, privately manufacture weapons, cultivate private soldiers, and then use the old officials of the previous dynasty to stir up trouble and trouble, hoping to rise up in one fell swoop.

It is impossible to say that this matter did not have the support of King Liang.

Although their power was not as powerful as the emperor's, it was still very easy to crush Li Xiuyuan to death.

Li Xiuyuan wanted to run away, but the other party might not let him go.

"I'm not a soft persimmon. If you have anything, let him come."

Li Xiuyuan said coldly, he just didn't want to confront them head-on, but it didn't mean he was afraid of them.

After a few simple words, the two fell asleep. Early the next morning, Bai Xia got up and went to the county town for a stroll, while Li Xiuyuan continued to discuss follow-up arrangements with others.

He can leave, but Wei County, which he finally won, cannot be handed over so easily. Some arrangements must be made.

This discussion lasted for three days. Li Xiuyuan and Bai Xia sat on their horses and said goodbye to Liu Tai and others.

Many people in Wei County thought they were just returning to Liu Yunzhai and didn't find it strange.

Sitting under Bai Xia's seat is her exclusive mount Zhui Feng. During this year, Li Xiuyuan has raised Zhui Feng very well. He is fat and strong, and his hair is shiny and smooth.

After leaving Wei County, the two of them walked towards Liu Yunzhai.

Li Xiuyuan and Bai Xia agreed to go north next, with the goal of Jizhou.

There is the fiefdom of the fifth prince, King Jizhou.

In addition to exploring the local reality, Li Xiuyuan's mother, Lin, was probably brought to Jizhou by traveling merchants, so the destination was set there.

But before going, don’t lose contact with this place.

Li Xiuyuan ordered people to raise homing pigeons to prepare for future messages.

As soon as the two of them left, a green cloth carriage appeared on the official road outside Wei County. The curtain of the carriage opened, and the young man's face appeared in the window of the carriage.

Qishan, who was secretly watching and inquiring about the news, noticed the carriage and his eyes suddenly froze.

He summoned someone and whispered in his ear for a while, then the person quietly left.
