At the beginning, I gave up my military power with a cup of wine, and I ascended the throne

Chapter 252: Conquering the Marquis of Qingzhou

"Look, your Lord has spoken."

The Qingzhou Marquis’s Consort chuckled, “Get out of the way quickly.

Only then did Hu Chi move aside and let her enter the house.

The doors and windows were closed, the candlelight was flickering, and behind the screen, a figure could be vaguely seen in the white hot air.

"It's so late, and the Marquis's wife is still coming to my house. I'm afraid it's a bit inappropriate?"

A gentle voice came from behind the screen.

"What's wrong?"

She put down the sobering soup in her hand, feeling quite uneasy. Her eyes wandered around, but she couldn't help looking towards the screen.

His eyes were wandering, and after a while, the sound of splashing water was heard. A moment later, Xiao Han put on his clothes and walked out from behind the screen.

Their eyes met, and she turned her head away, her body trembling slightly. Then she took out a roll of paper from her sleeve and placed it on the table.

"what?"

Xiao Han frowned.

"Divorce letter."

She looked at the door and window and said calmly, "He gave me to you."

"If you are willing to take me away, this divorce letter will be submitted to the Qingzhou government office tomorrow and put on file."

"What if I don't want to take you away?"

He chuckled.

The Qingzhou Marquis replied: "Three feet of white silk, or a cup of poisoned wine."

She turned her head and stared at the man, her heart in her throat.

Xiao Han did not answer, but just waved his hand. The candles in the room went out. The moon was still dim in the first half of the night, but in the second half, there was a strong wind with thunder and lightning.

The strong wind and heavy rain were hitting the doors and windows, and the neatly trimmed grass and trees at the door were blown all over the place and in a mess under the wind and rain.

The white light in the pond dissipated, wind and rain fell, and ripples appeared.

The wind and rain lasted for several hours, and only gradually stopped at dawn, turning into a drizzle.

The sky was gloomy and covered with dark clouds. The door of the room, which had been closed all night, opened. Xiao Han walked out, stretched, and felt refreshed.

At the far step, Tiger Chi dozed off with his long sword in his arms.

He tapped her on the shoulder and she suddenly woke up, staring at two dark circles under her eyes.

"Go down and rest."

he said.

Walking out of the backyard, breathing the morning air mixed with the fragrance of grass, trees and rain, I ran into Qingzhou Hou head-on.

My Lord, did you sleep well last night?
he asked with a smile.

"Of course it is wonderful."

Xiao Han nodded, and the two walked side by side in the corridor towards the front hall.

"Zhu Jian led the imperial guards and the remaining 1 million dan of grain and grass to Jizhou."

The Marquis of Qingzhou sneered: "This old man thinks he is pretending to be flawless and really thinks he is a loyal and honest person."

"Jiangnan Hou is loyal to his emperor and patriotic, and has a chivalrous and righteous character. Who in the world doesn't know that?"

He teased.

"Your Majesty should be more careful."

Qingzhou Hou reminded, "The Hulong Villa under this man has recruited many masters from both the black and white worlds. In name, they work for the court, but in reality, they only take orders from Zhu Jian."

"I'm not worried about the other things, but I'm afraid he will fabricate charges and frame me. A loyal person like the Marquis is the most hated by others."

"The memorials submitted by the censors of the Imperial Censorate to me every day are almost piled up like a mountain."

Xiao Han said calmly, "One more person is not too much for me, and one more charge is not too much for me."

"Free and easy."

The Marquis of Qingzhou sighed, "The Marquis has 300,000 Xiliang cavalry under his command. They are strong and powerful, so they are naturally confident. But I can't do that. I have to be careful in everything I say and do. Even in my mansion, there are countless spies."

"My Lord, you are being modest."

He shook his head: "The tens of thousands of Qingzhou warriors under your command are brave and good at fighting. They are all brave and capable of fighting ten enemies at once."

"Drink tea."

They arrived at the main hall, took their seats, and a maid brought them hot tea.

"When do you plan to go back?" "Tomorrow."

Xiao Han said: "The war in Jizhou and Northern Wei is tight, and we can't leave without someone."

"Well, take her with you."

"I have already given you the divorce letter."

As Qingzhou Hou spoke, his expression was calm, "It was just a cover. Since you like her, bring her back to Shuiyun Mountain. She will be a good companion for Ning Xi."

He raised his eyebrows: "Such a beauty in the world, are you willing to give her up?"

"No matter how beautiful a woman is, she is not as useful as the war horses and armor of the Marquis."

Marquis Qingzhou waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it again. She is yours from now on."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis."

Xiao Han picked up the teacup and saluted from a distance.

the next morning.

Hundreds of riders escorted a carriage slowly out of Qingzhou City and headed towards Qingyou Pass.

Huluxu had already gone ahead with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, escorting food and fodder.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the beautiful woman stuck her head out, looking at Qingzhou which was getting farther and farther away and smaller behind her, with a hint of relief in her eyes.

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a heart-stirring arc, and she was truly charming with just one smile.

Not until Qingzhou City completely disappeared from her sight did she retract her gaze and look at the man in front of her.

"Da Mei'er, you are so happy."

Xiao Han never looked back, but he seemed to see what she was thinking clearly.

after.

There is no longer any Qingzhou Marquis Consort or bed cover in this world, only Da Meir.

"Of course I am happy."

She laughed so hard that her body shook. Her laughter was so loud and unrestrained that she laughed until she had laughed out loud in one breath, venting all the anger pent up in her heart. Then she returned to the carriage.

"You are really capable."

Xie Peiyao said coldly: "Come out and take the Qingzhou Marquis back."

"What Qingzhou Marquis?"

Xiao Han glanced at her and said, "Please don't make up rumors or slander me, Second Miss."

"Whether it is a rumor or slander, you know it clearly."

She looked unhappy.

"It is precisely because I know it clearly that I asked you not to spread rumors."

He retorted,

"Still the same as before, shameless."

Xie Peiyao sneered: "When do you plan to send troops?"

"Not urgent."

Xiao Han said: "Weapons are the most important weapon of a country. They should not be used without authorization. Do you know why I can win every battle?"

Xie Peiyao was too lazy to answer.

He said to himself, "That's because I never fight an unprepared battle. I must first analyze the situation and find out the enemy's weaknesses. Then I must conduct a combat analysis and be prepared for how to send troops, how many troops to send, where to attack first, and where to attack later."

What's more, food and fodder must be sent before troops move, and Xiliang is currently short of food and fodder, so you have to give me some time to gather them."

"Didn't I just give you a million stones of food?"

Xie Peiyao cursed Xiao Han thousands of times in her heart.

"A million stones is not enough."

The Xiliang Marquis said: "Although the 300,000 Jizhou cavalrymen of the Zhenbei Marquis are stationed at the border of Xiliang and Jizhou, they have almost consumed all the food and grass of Xiliang."

"Don't worry. Since I promised you that I would send troops to attack Northern Wei, I will definitely do so. Don't worry."

"When faced with a situation, you must remain calm and make plans before taking action."

"you."

Xie Peiyao's chest heaved with anger, her pretty face turned pale, she bit her red lips with her pearly teeth, and stared at Xiao Han with her beautiful eyes.

If looks could kill, she would have killed him a thousand times by now.
